Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

“The news has been leaked!”

” Go back!” Stella shouted in a low voice.

Kant’s expression changed abruptly. The Door of Darkness opened, and he instantly traversed space and returned underground.

The space anchor point was set at the entrance of the cave. Ah Xing and Lily leaned against the left and right sides of the cave and looked at Kant together.

Kant heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ah Xing was fine.

“What’s wrong?”

“What happened up there?” Lily asked.

When she said this, Long Niang frowned slightly, and there was already a hint of contemplation in her eyes.

It was already instinctive. She always overthought things.

Kant’s gaze shifted from Ah Xing to Lily.

“Father, you’d better calm her down first. Go back and…” Horus said in a deep voice.

” Stella said that the news was leaked,” Kant said.” That’s why I came to ask you.”

” What do you mean?” Lily’s pupils constricted, and then her eyes were filled with anger.

“That’s what I mean. There are very few people who know about this matter. Logically speaking, the first person I think of is naturally you.” Kant’s tone was calm.” That’s why I came to ask you directly.”

This calmness and calmness actually caused Long Niang’s subconscious anger to subside.

“Are you treating me as a suspect right away?” she asked in a rude tone.

“If that’s the case, I’ll immediately call Ah Xing to attack you together. I’ll even bring a few Goethe powerhouses down through the underground tunnel to help.”

Kant’s tone was cold. There was no fluctuation in his tone, nor was there any guilt, doubt, or even anger. He was just calmly explaining a very simple principle.

” I was the one who told you about the mysterious elements. Although it was based on trust, it indirectly put Goethe at risk. Now that the news has been leaked, I naturally have to take responsibility and confirm whether this matter is related to you.” He said,” So, answer my question. Did you leak anything about this place?”

“No.” Long Niang took a deep breath and said slowly.

“An unintentional leak is also a leak. In other words, after I told you about the mysterious elements, did you communicate with the Dragon Emperor or other dragons?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Is it possible that the dragon race left a spell on you that can monitor or eavesdrop?”

“Impossible. The soul power of a dragon is extremely powerful. Even the Dragon Emperor can’t cast a permanent monitoring spell on me without me noticing.”

” What?” Kant asked.” Even your Dragonfire Soul Lamps can’t do it?”

That was the dragon race’s national online identity system. Since it could accurately observe the life and safety of every dragon, it was not surprising to have a little extra function.

“Theoretically, it can be done, but the Dragon Emperor doesn’t dare.” Lily thought for a moment and replied,” At that time, there was a lot of resistance to the implementation of this system. The main resistance came from the worry that the Dragon Emperor would use this system to monitor all the citizens. For this reason, the Dragon Emperor even opened the spell model to all the dragons. If any dragon had any doubts, they could apply to check their soul lamp at any time to ensure peace of mind.”

” That’s why I won’t. I won’t even monitor me alone because the risk is too great. Once I notice it, I only need to publicize this matter, and it will definitely cause panic and backlash among the dragons. Even if the Dragon Emperor only monitors me, the dragons won’t believe it. The Conservatives will do their best to smear and attack me. Even the Dragon Emperor can’t resist such anger and scandal. It’s a smart person, so it doesn’t dare.”

” Understood.” Kant nodded.

Long Niang looked at him and said,”So how do you want to…”

“Stay here. If you need anything, press this button. One for each of you.” Kant tossed her a signal transmitter that resonated with divine power.” To avoid any misunderstandings, please keep your distance from Ah Xing before I return.”

Kant hugged Ah Xing and nodded at Long Niang.

Kant’s figure disappeared as the Space Gate opened.

Only Ah Xing and Lily were left in place, looking at each other.

” What are you looking at?” Matron Long rolled her eyes.” Didn’t you hear what Kant said?” Stay away from me. He’s afraid that I’ll kill you with a punch.”

Ah Xing glanced at her. He leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

Long Niang widened her eyes and was about to say something when the Door of Darkness opened again.

“So what…” she said impatiently.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. Snack boxes, beverage boxes, self-powered lights, chairs, tables, and even a couch were thrown on both sides.

“Eat by yourself, drink by yourself, sit by yourself, lie down by yourself.”

Kant turned around and left.

Lily’s mouth was slightly open as she watched him leave. After a while, she suddenly burst out laughing.

” Wait a minute.” She then revealed a strange expression.” Should I be angry?”

“It shouldn’t be.” Ah Xing said calmly,” This is Kant’s way of doing things. You should be happy.”

“What am I happy about? I’m happy. I stuck to him for no reason. I even conspired with him to scheme against my clan. I even followed him to this dark and broken place to fight to death. He actually…”

While Long Niang was rambling on, Ah Xing had already walked over to his pile of boxes. He opened the first box and saw that it was filled with his favorite fruits. A gentle look appeared in her eyes. She sat at the side, picked up an apple, and quietly ate it.

Long Niang couldn’t continue speaking. She sat to the side and opened her cardboard box.

Then she shouted,”Why do I only have jerky?” This bastard is so biased!”

“You too.” Lily had already eaten an apple.” It’s in the second box. I can smell it.”

After Lily opened it, it was indeed the case. She stretched her head out and looked at Lily’s side. The type and size were similar. Long Niang snorted.” Small favor…” You want to send me away with this little thing?”

“You can choose not to eat.”

“I have to eat it, and I have to eat it all. No matter what, I have to make him suffer some losses!”

Ah Xing nodded.” Eat it all. If you’re full, you’ll have the strength to fight.”

Long Niang was stunned at first, then she sighed silently. She looked at Ah Xing, who was opposite her. This girl who was usually heartless and easily deceived, no longer had the liveliness and cheerfulness on her face. She did not even know if it was an illusion, but she felt that she had become a little calmer…It was even dignified.

What was going on?

The followers of this generation of Fire Stealers were all very strange.

Of course, other than me, I’m the only normal one.

Long Niang thought as she started eating. When her mouth was full, she chewed hard. Drops of food dripped down from the corner of her mouth. Finally, she came back to her senses.

Wait, shouldn’t I be angry? Why am I not angry?

Kant had already returned to the surface.

Stella was already waiting at the same spot, but dust was flying in the distance. It was a sign that the army was moving toward this place. The observation balloons in the sky were shining with the glow of magic. The mages ‘Atmospheric Penetration Array was activated at full power. Kant could even hear the roar of the engine. The atmosphere of the battle formation was as cold as steel.

Seeing Kant appear again, Stella was relieved at first, but then she looked confused.

“Have you dealt with her?” asked the Second Princess.

As Tina’s elder sister and the second daughter of the Grand Duke, Stella was already teaching at the University of San Covilo. As a mage, she had a lot of wisdom and knowledge, and she knew more about the ways of the world than Tina did. After learning that the news had been leaked, she immediately thought of the suspicious dragon.

That was why he sent a signal to Kant at once, reminding him to hurry back and deal with the dragon.

This was because the female dragon might realize that something was wrong and launch a sneak attack on the Crimson Queen.

She thought that it would be a tough battle. She had even thought about how to mobilize the elites to provide assistance, but Kant returned almost instantly. He was so fast that she was caught off guard.

“No, I haven’t.” Kant shook his head.” It’s not her.”

Stella was stunned at first, but then she became angry.

“Not her?” She suppressed her anger.” Who is that? Who else had such a motive and suspicion? How can you be sure it’s not her? Did you believe her just because she said it had nothing to do with her?”

” I have my own judgment,” Kant said calmly.

” That’s what you told me before, and then you told a dragon about it. Now, the Arcane Magic Council’s envoy has arrived at Lucerne, and the dragon army in the outer seas has begun to increase their troops. The Sunset Moon invasion army is ready to make a move, and there’s news that the dynasty’s fleet stationed in the Broken Islands has also begun to cruise nearby. We’re surrounded by the world, and a group of hungry wolves can smell the fragrance of meat. Is that your judgment?”

Stella almost couldn’t control her emotions.

Goethe had been under tremendous pressure for this unprecedented mysterious substance that could allow a country’s national strength to soar. Now, the worst situation had suddenly happened, faster than she had expected.

Kant, on the other hand, still looked as though he was bewitched by a woman!

Is this the time to talk about love?

Kant frowned at Stella’s almost interrogative shouts. He fell silent for a moment before saying,” There are many possibilities for the news to leak. We’ll find out what went wrong, but that’s not the main point. What’s important is how we should deal with what has already happened…”

“The response is to first imprison that dragon! You actually left her down there? Do you know that she’s with that red-haired woman? Kant, what kind of magic did she cast on you to make you fall head over heels for her? Please understand the current situation!

I don’t know how many countries know about this, but according to the situation, the whole world might know!”

” There might be a war next!” Stella’s tone became fiercer. Father and Tina are now resisting the pressure from the Arcane Magic Council to buy us time. If this matter is not handled well, Goethe will bleed even more! I beg you to wake up! Don’t be fooled by that female dragon! She…”

Kant took a deep breath.

“Then who could it be? Who else knew about this? If you don’t suspect her, do you suspect me? Or do you suspect Tina or my father? You…”

Kant’s gaze turned sharp.

” Your Highness, please calm down!”

The next moment, a voice came from behind. Hong San walked over quickly and flashed to Kant’s side. He secretly pulled him and bowed.” Pardon me for speaking out of turn. Madam Lily is not a suspect.”

Stella was furious at this moment. When she saw Hong San approaching, she was furious.” Rude!” she snapped. I’m talking to your master, who are you to say anything! Retreat!”

“What are you shouting for?!” Kang De shouted before Hong San could say anything. I’m not his master! Why couldn’t he speak? Who do you think he is? Who do you think you are?”

Stella was stunned.

She seemed to have been struck by lightning, and her body swayed. Her cheeks, which had turned red due to the atmosphere, quickly turned pale, and her eyes instantly turned red. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she gritted her teeth tightly.

Hong San revealed an expression as if it was the end of the world.

He immediately bowed to Stella and said,” Your Highness, I’m indebted to Your Highness for not abandoning me and taking me in as a retainer. Your Highness regards me as a friend and treats me as a statesman. It’s my honor and my honor. I’ll repay you with my loyalty and my life. This is the tradition of Aurora. That’s all. Please don’t take it to heart and don’t think too much about it.”

” You should know His Highness’s personality. He has no ill intentions.”

” And just now, I interrupted the conversation between the two of you. Even if the master and the slave are of equal status, this behavior is really rude. There’s nothing wrong with the princess reprimanding me, but even so, I want to tell the two of you that now is not the time to quarrel, and…”

“You don’t have to say anymore.”

Hong San was interrupted by Stella.

In the end, the Second Princess ‘tears did not fall.

“I really shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. I’m sorry.”

Goethe’s second princess slowly bowed to Hong San. Hong San was at a loss. He did not dare to help her up. He only looked at Kant and tried his best to signal him with his eyes.

“After all…” Stella slowly stood up and looked at Kant.” After all, you’re not my retainer, and I have nothing to do with the monarch you serve.”

Hong San was so anxious that he was about to combust.

He looked at Kant with a pleading gaze, as if he was asking him to say something. However, Kant was unmoved. Hong San knew that something was wrong with him. His lord usually did whatever he wanted and did not behave properly. However, if he really went into a dead end, he could grind the entire cow into nothing.

” I was rude just now, and I was also muddle-headed. Your Highness Kant, I believe you have a plan in mind. It was my fault to question your decision. I was saved by you, so what right do I have to question your decision?”

“Since you think you can trust Miss Lily, then I have no objections.”

Stella bowed to Kant again. Her tone was so calm that it was cold.

“Let’s do as you say,” she said.”The entire Investigation Corps will definitely obey your orders, just as Father’s decree said. After all…”

At this point, the Second Princess revealed an inexplicable smile.

“We don’t have any other choice, do we?” she asked softly.

Kang De’s anger surged to his face when he heard that. Hong San knew that this was bad. He hugged Kang De by the waist and pushed him out with all his might. He shouted,” Calm down, both of you!””

“Princess Stella! His Highness has been traveling back and forth for the past few months. He has worked hard and has a heavy responsibility. For such a major event, the two of you should work together sincerely. How can you fight among yourselves? We have something important to discuss! Please forgive me!”

After shouting, he lowered his voice and shouted as if he was reciting scriptures,” My lord, my lord, my lord. Brother, brother, brother, master. I’ll call you master again. Please be kind and stop talking!”

“There’s no need, there’s really no need! That sentence you said to her is enough for her to suffer for three months. At least give Princess Tina some face, okay? “Hey, hey, hey, it’s not that you have to consider other people’s feelings. Think about it, you’re a magnanimous person and don’t care about her. Princess Tina knows that you’ve been wronged, but she’s magnanimous. She’s such an exquisite person. On account of your kindness, she’ll turn a blind eye to some things…”

“Aiyo, I didn’t say that you’re afraid of your wife. Sigh, what’s wrong? I might as well kill myself here.”

“Your Highness, Your Highness, stop struggling. I’m begging you, okay? Because of what I said, you fell out with Princess Stella, and you even got on bad terms with Tedarell. I won’t be able to sleep well for the rest of my life. I know you’re doing this for my own good. Can you be better?”

After much persuasion and pleading, Kant was finally appeased.

Hong San pushed Condra to a corner before releasing his grip. Seeing that Kant’s expression was not friendly, he smiled obsequiously and bent over to straighten out the creases on Kant’s clothes. His fingers, which had been extremely nimble since he had been a martial artist since young, gently brushed across Kant’s back. He touched the hard part of his back and tapped it lightly.

It was silent. Kant did not feel anything. The vibrations and power were completely absorbed.

“What’s going on?” he asked after doing all this. Your Highness, you seem a little…”

Kant looked up at the clear blue sky. The sky was clear and white clouds were fluttering. The Magic-guided hot air balloon in the distance was shining brightly. He remained silent.

Of course, he did not notice that a few silver threads and metal fragments were falling from the hem of his coat. With a small electronic device as the center, they reassembled into a small sphere and rolled out from Kant’s back silently. It circled around the monster grinding tower in the sealed cave and turned to another one. It was nimble and light. It did not make a single sound. Hong San only caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye.

Stella squatted down slowly and grabbed her collar. Tears fell on the cold steel floor, revealing her blurry face. She didn’t know why she was so sad. She felt both painful and sad, as if there was a knife in her heart.

Then, she heard a strange sound. She subconsciously raised her head and revealed a surprised expression.

A small silver ball rolled toward them.

It stopped in front of her, and there were red spots of light flashing.

There was probably only one shop in the entire continent that had such a structure, material, and design.

She quickly wiped her face. Before she could figure out why this thing had appeared here, she suddenly heard Kant’s voice coming from the ball.

“I… I’m a little tired.”
