MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 898 Otto Triangle

"So, you can't even look down on your own son?"

"He made some friends without telling me, which was unexpected."

In the imperial court of the imperial capital, the study room of the supreme human being, the emperor looked calm, his eyes moved with Kant's movement, until the Aurora people stopped in front of the bookshelf by the wall.

Kant took out a book from the shelf and flipped through it.

As far as the emperor's eyes could reach, he saw the title of the book from the cover.

"The Art of Seance - The Mystery of the Positive Elements of Enlightenment", this is the first handwritten book, the original manuscript, only qualified to be placed in the study room of the co-lord of mankind. Every page of the book is soaked with the wisdom and magic of the emperor.

He said lightly, "Do you understand?"

"I can understand it now... The magic emperor Chesvdino's arcane experience, he pioneered the theory of positive and negative elements, and recorded in detail his exploration and cognition of the nature of the world, as well as the construction of many energy storage magic circuits. Fa, this is undoubtedly the wisdom of giants seven hundred and twenty-six years ago."

Kant held this book and did not need to turn it, because this magical book with spirituality sensed the gaze of a great spellcaster, sensed the mind and spirit, and turned the pages on his own.

The emperor said: "If you like it, take it."

"No need, the Tower of All-Seeing has a rubbing of this book, which is an elective textbook for the tenth level of elemental model construction. The wisdom of giants, but today's mortal world has stood on the shoulders of giants."

Kant flipped through the pages of the book and said calmly: "Many theories, experiences and concepts in it have been revised, promoted and rejected by spellcasters for hundreds of years."

"And the greatest value of this book is that it is a handwritten note written by the magic emperor who devoted his life's wisdom and achievements. It is infused with its master's arcane way and the essence of strength, and can be used as spiritual food for future generations. More than 700 The peerless powerhouse from a few years ago is still one of the creatures who have gone the furthest along the path of arcane law."

He closed the book, put it back on the shelf, and turned to look at the emperor.

The light in his eyes shone brightly.

"And I have read his path."

The surrounding air distorted, the light flashed, and the imprints of the elements were branded in the void, and then dissipated.

The emperor's heart was filled with a cloud of evil.

That's an instinctive reaction.

As a powerful predator, it is a subconscious response after being stepped on by a threatening creature.

He felt agitated.

The chaotic battle between Far Harbor and the Council came to an end, and the results of the final battle were delivered to him as quickly as possible. He thought of Griffin's execution, the shocking reports of the royal guards, and the situation in which the Royal Spellcaster Association almost came out after Kant was sent to the Imperial Court.

His chief court wizard said they sensed the arrival of a supreme being.

The emperor said coldly, "Is this a demonstration?"

Kant pulled out another book, turned two pages, and put it back.

"It's showing my value to a potential collaborator and giving him more confidence."

"Worth?" The emperor glanced at the secret surrender document from the Northern Council on the table, "Does that mean you not only executed Griffin in public, but also plundered his power and even his memory with a terrifying secret method? It seems that your behavior is probably more like a destroyer than the star palace."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Kant pulled out another book, this time it was the Secret Book of Potions, his eyes lit up, and as he read it, he said: "If they sincerely think that even if they are killed in the battle against the Star Palace, they will always be killed. Rather than being my enemy and facing my anger head on, my career would be a lot easier."

The emperor's eyes were slightly dazed: "Is Xinggong really so powerful?"

"Innumerable eras that have been destroyed have corresponding fire thieves, and they all lost... At the peak and most prosperous moment in the mortal world, at the moment when the fire thieves gathered the glory of the entire era."

Kant looked down at the book and confirmed the contents of the book with Griffin's memory.

"Don't you think that I, who have been in this world for less than three years and have not even begun to unify the mortal world, is actually the strongest fire thief in all dynasties."

The Supreme Being of the Empire was silent, and he tapped the table unconsciously.

After thinking for a while, he looked up and said, "What are your plans?"

"what you mean?"

The emperor stared and replied, "What if you lose?"

Kant shrugged: "Everyone kills the ball together."

Human co-owner Otto II immediately let out a loud sneer.

"Your wife has a baby?"

"what are you saying?"

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, the most fearful and pessimistic person in the world, and a stranger, is actually ready to fight to the death for this world?" The emperor sneered, "You might as well tell me, you The voluptuous, insatiable kid is still a virgin."

"Pfft." Kant laughed, and in the next second, he restrained his expression and sincerely said to the emperor, "As you said, I am indeed a virgin, and I worry about it all day. What do you think I should do?"

"Fuck." Empire Supreme glared, "Fuck you, don't change the subject."

There is absolutely no doubt about him.

After all, Kant's response was too perfect, replacing defense with offense, without revealing the slightest flaw.

The emperor said directly: "I said, I believe in your morals and promises, I believe you will fight for the mortal world, but I don't believe that you will die for the mortal world when the defeat is timed... This is not your style of conduct. You're not one to sit still, especially, your origins..."

Facing his gaze, Kant turned his head aside and said with his hands behind his back, "People don't know anything, meow."

"After defeating Griffin, your martial arts have shocked the mainland. Since Griffin's death, you are no longer the superior person who only relies on the forbidden spell to deter you to the top of the mortal world, but with power and prestige. And one of the kings whose military strength is superior to the world, equal to me, equal to the dragon, equal to the elves."

"You have to make the creatures who submit to you and those who are conquered by you fear you, have the majesty and bearing that make the world bow down, and remember that your words and deeds really represent the will and strength of countless people..."

The Supreme said lightly: "So, don't say such disgusting words."

"It's a laughing optimism about challenges, and it's fun to keep a straight face all day," Kant shouted. "This dynamic and lively realm, you, a political creature who is keen on power, will not understand!"

The emperor wrote lightly: "Then you are wrong. I have always believed that only experience can be qualified to judge. If a poor ghost coaxes other poor ghosts to say that money is not necessarily happy, and the nobles are also very tired, then he must A bad guy. And if the other poor people believe it, they're idiots."

"Even if these bad guys and idiots are beaten and sucked by the nobles, they deserve it. They don't even understand this kind of thing related to their own destiny.

Kant thought for a while before he understood: "You mean, you were like this when you were young?"

The emperor nodded reservedly: "I... I was young, and of course I was lively. Since I have experienced it, of course I can say that those superficial fun and liveliness are actually meaningless. Fear and awe, this is the most stable order."

Kant tutted: "You don't have any fun now? How sad."

"There are still some." The emperor chatted with Kant about this, and he was very patient. He seemed to be happy to teach Kant some life experiences, "I'm here to ask you, for a person living in the world, As long as he is not hiding in the mountains and forests by himself, but has a connection with the society, what is the most important, most beneficial, and most cost-effective resource for him?"

Without waiting for Kant to answer, he said on his own: "It's power."

Having said this, the emperor picked up the pen, drew a triangle on a piece of white paper, and then wrote on it. After writing, he showed it to Kant.

Incidentally.

Perhaps it was Kant's spiritual strength in the past two years, which was far superior to the past, or perhaps it was the tenacity of Griffin's soul, which was far better than that of the knights. In short, the extraction success this time was far better than that of Huisha. Finn's knowledge and power, and rightfully so...

As a genius boy (opened), he jumped directly from the middle school level to the Nobel Prize winner realm!

He is literate!

And can write in cursive!

However, as a good boy who is diligent, studious, low-key, and steady, he attaches great importance to the foundation, and will not ignore the stability of the most basic knowledge because of this huge jump in grades.

- Therefore, Teacher Tina's make-up lessons must not be stopped!

This thought flashed by, and Kant recognized the words written by the emperor.

A word is written on each of the three corners of the triangle.

Above it is "power".

On the bottom left is "money".

The bottom right is "Power".

"I call it the Otto Triangle, and it is a theory that my father and I perfected together."

The emperor smiled slightly, and when he talked about his father, there was a flash of memory in his eyes - time is the medicine for forgetting to cure everything. At least now, he can only remember his father, remembering the warmth, laughter and affection of the past, but he has really forgotten. At the beginning, they were wary of each other and looked at each other's ghosts.

He said warmly: "...Now I'll tell you."

"You're trying to take advantage of me." Kant stared, "Also, I can see that it's nothing more than that these three things that you think are important can be transformed into each other, but the power should be at the top."

"No, the power is on top."

The emperor shook his head and said: "As a Forbidden Magician, you bully the mortal world with the sword of deterrence. Of course, you can think that your power is above everything, and you can exchange for money and power. But I want to tell you, if you want to unite the power of the mortal world to fight against Zodiac sign, that must be rightly aware of the importance and supremacy of power."

He pointed to his brain: "You have to turn your thinking around and really look at things from the ruler's thinking and perspective... because you have to realize one thing."

"That is, although the dragon family is still the first-class power in the mortal world and is respected by us, the whole mortal world knows that the era of dragons is over. The power of dragons has not weakened, but they have lost their authority and lost their power. The power of hegemony, and this is the root of the rise of elves and men."

He pointed to the supremacy of the Otto Triangle.

"Power can be converted into money, which is his most basic and stable usage."

"Money can refer to all material resources, from the desires of people to the interests of a group or even a class. It can be referred to by money... and power can determine it."

"Political strife, court struggle, confrontation between two interest groups, war between two countries... The root of everything is not belief or belief, but in the final analysis, it is money. It is because it represents different interests, so there will be When two people fight, there will be political confrontation, and there will be national wars, and the power surging after this is the alternation of power, which dominates everything."

When the emperor said this, he looked at the thoughtful Kant.

"You need to be aware of this if you want to unify the forces of the world."

"Using this theory to analyze it concretely, what you have done in the Northern Council can only be done once again - using force to deprive the northern counties of money will inevitably lead to a counterattack from the power, which will have an unpredictable chain reaction. You threatened the Southern Council with a big victory, suppressing it with strength and power at the same time, so the money will give in, and this is the reason why you can succeed."

"But other forces see it in the eyes. If this method is used too much, things will happen."

"So—do you have any thoughts and ideas?"

Kant was thoughtful and his expression moved slightly.

The Empire Supreme laughed happily: "Yes, yes, much better than them."

"Since I have given this example, there is no need to elaborate on how power should use money to drive power and the game balance between money and power. Of these three, only two corners are needed to maintain the Otto Triangle. Stable balance and eternity, it's very interesting, right?"

Kant grabbed a chair and sat down, thinking for a while.

Then he slowly exhaled.

He cupped his hands and said, "I have been taught."

"So polite?" The emperor asked in surprise, "It seems that you have something else to gain."

"Yes." Kant nodded, "To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about what role the superhuman class will play in the kingdom I build, and how it should be restrained and protected."

"Is there an answer?"

"No, it's still a long way off." Kant smiled slightly, "But it seems that he already has an idea."

"It's a good thing to have ideas. You just need to convert your thinking, control and use power, and you will find that all the pleasures in the world are worthless compared to the pleasures that power brings."

The emperor looked at Kant and said softly: "With power in your hand, you can shake all the rules in the world, and with power in your hand, you can see the pursuit and fanaticism of all beings."

"You can see all the ugliness they show for power, and you can use your power to exchange for anything you want. Although you are not a god, you cannot create things out of thin air, but you can still rule by being driven by power. The tribe offers sacrifices for you, which is actually no different from the power of gods to create things. What’s more interesting is that power, like money, after accumulating to an order of magnitude, will…”

The ruler of the empire showed a weird smile: "—the more you use it, the more you use it."

Kant showed a look of disgust: "Oh, you look really bad now."

"If you haven't experienced it, don't judge yourself."

"But I still feel like I've abandoned all the good things in the world, hiding in the room and playing with power, and letting the world dance for it... Good chicken, bro."

"Beautiful...what do you think I left behind?"

Kant didn't talk about such boring things as family love, but instead showed a "you know" look, applauded, and said mysteriously: "Seriously, you..."

"I don't have any special thoughts about this."

Kant winked and said, "Oh, that's really a pity."

"You haven't gotten to that point yet, so you don't understand."

"You see, I really don't understand at all."

The emperor snorted lightly: "About thirty-seven years old, I found that I lost interest in this area. Maybe the physical pleasure can still exist, but the spirit is tired."

"Oh, old man..." Kant's hand went deep into the white mist world, ready to bring the beautiful fantasy of earth painters to the barren emperor of another world, "You may need..."

"After all, sensory enjoyment has reached the extreme, abundant and satisfying, and it is difficult to break through."

—Don’t be so sure, Your Majesty.

Kant rummaged and found his collection.

"You shouldn't have enjoyed it, Kant." The emperor said lightly, "The stunning quadruplets with the basis of telepathy connect the senses and serve you together through the spiritual bond spell."

"…"

"Power can do a lot of things, and as long as you show the slightest idea, the whole world will turn for it. An entire department under the palace secretariat, with thousands of employees at its peak, dedicated to your side, this tradition continues. Over the centuries, even if you are not interested in that aspect at all, this department will always be there, just in case you need it."

"…"

"They buy, adopt and nurture baby girls every year, nurture, teach and train them from a young age to grow into the best women possible, to ensure that you are always in for the highest enjoyment."

"…"

"They'll keep going to brothels all over the world to gain experience and skills, and they'll keep innovating, so much so that if you let them go out and do that kind of business, they'll monopolize the entire world in five years."

"…"

"The Druid who introduced the blood of the snake spirit has only a little bit of snake characteristics, but the flexible and soft waist and tongue make me unforgettable to this day. What is the experience of the caster with the dual power of ice and fire?"

"…"

"The singing voice is like a lark, the dance is beautiful, the world is amazing, holy, lively, cunning, elegant, just need a word, and they will kneel before you tamely, of course, if you don't like it Too submissive, and they're natural actors too, and can be whatever temperament you want."

When the emperor said this, he looked at Kant with a stiff expression.

"That's the little use of power."

"It's something money and power can never get."

"So…"

He leaned forward and said softly, "Kant, come be my son-in-law and heir - treat me like your own father, and I will treat you like a human father."

"…"

Oh oh oh oh oh oh this class enemy! Feudal Emperor!

Oh shit!

What a... what a...

Kant jumped up, pointed the halberd at the emperor, and said sternly, "That's what you said!"

Otto II said in amazement: "What?"

"Didn't you tell me to treat you like my father?"

Kant, the twenty-fifth classic character of filial piety in the new era, said loudly: "Meow!"

"…what are you saying?"

"Meow!" Kant shouted. "You almost got around here - didn't you just say you want to know my back cards? Meow, and I'll tell you!"

The emperor looked at him indifferently, as if looking at a silly son.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it." He said indifferently, "It looks like you will say it sooner or later."

"...Okay, you're amazing." Kant nodded, "It's okay to say it now, anyway... hum."

He sat down with a golden knife and knocked on the table: "Come on, let me ask you, what do you think is the most important resource to do things in the mortal world, such as fighting against the star palace and accumulating strength? "

The emperor said without hesitation: "Money."

"Yes, money is the most important thing." Kant asked again, "Who is the richest?"

The emperor replied: "Nobles, noble class - a lot of wealth was collected and stored by them, solidified and deposited in this class, and settled in it."

"Yes... against the Star Palace, you need money to train troops, make weapons, you need money to expand production, and you need money to mobilize enthusiasm. In short, you need money."

Kant rubbed his hands: "I'm going to wipe out the money of the northern council. The southern council's resilience and vigilance are too strong, so it's hard to do it. The dragons are a bit difficult, and Goethe's is still fishing, and the elves are on the other side. Because of Derrella's reason, I'm too embarrassed to start, so..."

He looked at the emperor: "The empire, the nobles of the empire are the richest, and they can have a demonstration effect."

Otto II was not angry, but rather interested.

He said: "I have to remind you that although according to Otto's triangle theory, power drives power and can harvest money most efficiently, much faster and more than power or power alone."

"But it's not the sheep-like merchants who hold the money and will be harvested."

"It's better to say that businessmen who hold money, in order to avoid being jointly harvested, choose to merge with power or power - the former are various extraordinary organizations and groups, and the latter are bureaucrats."

"And the nobility, the nobility is the unity of power, power and money."

"This is the cornerstone and reason for the nobility to rule the mortal world."

The largest noble in the empire and even the world looked at Kant intently: "With you joining, our power will overwhelm the nobles, and my power already surpasses other nobles, so joint harvesting is feasible. But as I said, then There will be unrest and suspicion, and the consequences will outweigh the gains.”

He said slowly: "This empire is to be left to you, are you going to label it like this?"

Kant showed a strange smile.

"You know nothing about real power and power."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

"Having the absolute preponderance of power and power, the harvest will be graceful, invisible and irresistible."

Kant said solemnly: "No one knows harvesting better than me!"

Otto II stopped talking, and he showed a look of listening intently.

Kant grinned: "Don't you want to listen to my backhand... It's very simple. If everything is irreversible, then I will try my best to save the creatures and take them to the world that the star palace can't reach!"

Even if there is a vague guess, the emperor is also moved!

His voice was a little hurried: "How many people can I take?"

"It's a last resort."

Kant said indifferently: "Regardless of whether people's hearts will be turbulent or not - His Majesty the Emperor, willing to follow me to go to that world is equivalent to signing a contract and letting me flatten and round. In the mortal world, you are the supreme monarch, and you are willing to go now. There, be a begging dog with no bargaining qualifications."

The emperor was startled and looked at Kant.

Slowly, he laughed.

"But don't have to..." said Otto II, "don't have to let them know."

"Yes."

Kant also showed a tacit smile.

"When the annihilation crisis of the star palace is gradually approaching, the fire of destruction will fall, and the ancestral industry will be wiped out and meaningless. At this moment, another absolutely safe world has a shelter away from the mortal world, with beautiful mountains and rivers. A symbol of new life and hope…”

He showed an elegant and fierce look: "How much do you think a square meter of that place will sell for? How much do you think a ticket will sell for that place?"

"I see."

The emperor fully understood everything.

harvest.

Elegant, invisible, unstoppable.

Because this is called...

Just! need!

He clasped Kant's outstretched hand, and power merged with power.

Facing the emperor's gaze, Kant uttered a cry.

This is…

"Land! Production! Save! World!"
