Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 286 – 286 I Want to Go Home First

286 I Want to Go Home First
“Then…”

“Yes?”

“Do you still have… that… what… ancestral skill?”

“No, get lost!”

The above conversation happened between Kang De and Tagris.

Previously, Duke Tiling had opened the bloodline limit for Kang De with a finger… Alright, it was the Phoenix Vision. In short, it was similar. They all relied on some aura, bloodline, and other profound things to inherit. It was a very intelligent and human-like skill awakening program that was filled with the smell of bloodline theory.

It was just like how the descendants of the Hokage must be a Hokage. The descendants of the King of Medicine must be the King of Medicine. They could learn anything quickly. All the ridiculous leveling speed and learning speed could be explained in one sentence. The blood of XXX flowed in your body. Logically speaking, when watching the Japanese manga, Kang De felt that this setting was lazy and boring. He valued the progress of history too much and ignored the subjective initiative of the people.

However, when he personally experienced this…

How fragrant, how f*cking fragrant.

Moreover, he even wanted more.

After all, personal experience and watching from the sidelines were two different things. Just like in novels, he hated Long Aotian's overly strong and brainless plot and felt that it did not make sense. If he transmigrated, the stronger and more brainless it was, the better.

“Didn't that Phoenix King pass down any other ninjutsu? Or did she leave any divine artifacts or something? Look, I'm her reincarnation after all. Shouldn't you hand her inheritance to me?”

“—What's ninjutsu? There's no such thing!”

Of course, Tagris rejected it.

After making the agreement, in the past two days, Tagris had frequently met Kang De in private and taught him how to develop and use the Phoenix Vision. Although the elves did not say anything about Kang De easily awakening the Phoenix King's bloodline inheritance, they were indeed very concerned in their hearts. They even secretly tried the activation procedure of other bloodline powers.

The result made him heave a sigh of relief.

Kang De could not awaken the ability inherited from the bloodlines of the other Phoenix Kings.

Otherwise, he was clearly a human. If awakening the power of the Phoenix King's bloodline was as easy as eating and drinking, it would be too suspicious of the elves. He would probably really believe in reincarnation…

From the looks of it, Kang De should only have the bloodline aura of that Phoenix King. It was because of some mysterious reasons that Tagris did not know that he could obtain recognition and awaken his ability.

From this, it could be seen that the other party had some relatively intimate relationship with the Phoenix King.

—If that majesty is still alive, I can…

When he thought of this, his heart stirred slightly, then he subconsciously shook his head. In theory, such an innocent and stupid thought should not have happened. If he had to blame anyone, it was Kang De, a human. He had lured him to let himself go more and more these few days and did not want to return to his previous self…

He looked at the eager Kang De and sighed, “The bloodline inheritance is not that simple. Not all the strength of the previous Phoenix Kings can be passed down. Otherwise, after such a long time, this generation's Phoenix King can suppress the world alone… In fact, the conditions of this secret technique are extremely strict. It requires a huge effort to engrave it in the bloodline and pass it down…”

“As for that Phoenix King, her reign is relatively short. Although she's talented and makes me admire and respect her, time is not tolerant of her… However, even so, she still left the precious wealth to the Twilight Dynasty and the royal family. The Phoenix Vision can still be said to be precious in the inheritance gifts of the previous Phoenix Kings. It's not inferior to the gifts given by our ancestors, and she left us far more than this…”

Kang De listened very seriously because he was roughly 70 to 80% sure that the previous Phoenix King, whom the other party admired and revered endlessly, was most likely one of those magical animals who had caused chaos on the Holy Seal Islands.

Therefore, he was not wrong.

—Look, my identity can be called a host. Even if I let them take advantage of me, I'm still the ancestor of this elf. It's good to be a senior.

He smiled and took out a can of juice candy. “Come, eat candy.”

“Don't think you can bribe me with such a thing.”

Tagris took it, unscrewed the lid, and poured more than ten pills into his mouth. He began to chew, “You should feel honored! In Twilight, if I agree to teach a certain child, I guarantee that this family will always be mine from now on… Hmm, simp!”

This was also the result of deep communication with transmigrators. He was to quickly learn some bad words and very terrifying words.

Kang De smiled and asked, “You just said that she left behind other wealth?”

Tagris glared at him. “Can you not be so vulgar? Her full set of holy artifact equipment has disappeared with her. There's nothing in the royal vault for you to take and recognize. As for the others, they're already the property of the Elven royal family. You're not qualified to take them!”

Kang De smiled and said, “But I'm qualified to take it if I marry the Elven Empress?”

Tagris was no longer blushing this time. He rolled his eyes at him. “Dream on.”

At this moment, the two of them were lying in the garden in the backyard of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce and looking up at the sky. The recliner, umbrella, and ice cola were very comfortable. Tagris swallowed the candy in his mouth and let out a long breath, “We elves have a wide range of resources. The abundant treasures of the world are for us to use. They're delicious. I don't know how many I've eaten, but why do the things you take out taste so good?”

Additives.

—No matter how good the food you eat is, it's still natural. It's just like how I'm used to eating junk food. If I eat your exquisite delicacies, I'll definitely be shocked. You're used to eating delicacies. This is the first time you're eating something made by millions of practitioners who continuously strive for perfection. Of course, it's delicious.

However, he could not say this to the other party.

Therefore, Kang De only smiled mysteriously. “It's a secret. It's better not to ask.”

Tagris rolled his eyes. “Kang De, you have more secrets than me.”

“Is that so?”

“That's right.”

Tagris turned around and rested his head on his hand. He lay on his side and looked at Kang De. A strand of hair pressed against his cheek and teased the corners of his mouth. His emerald green eyes reflected the mountains and looked over.

As this guy became more and more unrestrained, it would sometimes naturally reveal a beautiful posture. However, with a feminine but still male face… it was very fatal.

Kang De could not stand it and hurriedly avoided his gaze.

Tagris chuckled. Kang De's appearance amused him. He stretched out his finger and outlined Kang De's form, “The elves have always maintained a considerable level of communication with Cathay… Although we used a long time and methods to make the Cathayan Imperial Court understand that we're not inferior to it in culture, politics, territory, and other aspects, so they didn't treat us as tributes…”

“Therefore, Kang De, we know the Cathayans. We once treated them as our greatest enemy, so we know them the best. We used two entire generations of elves to understand.”

…That was really too long.

Kang De smiled and said, “Then?”

“Then?” Tagris chuckled. “You don't look like a Cathayan to me.”

“Not to mention that unheard method of destroying a city… Your speech, your temperament, your concepts, and the way you think about problems are the philosophical systems you use to look at the world and guide words and actions. Although they're a little similar to the philosophical systems of Cathay, there are many differences.”

“There's also the weapon you used recorded in the war log, the alchemical chariot that can transform into a human to fight. There are scattered things on your body that I've never seen, and these endless delicacies.”

He looked at Kang De seriously. “I'm very curious. If you're not from Cathay, where are you from?”

Kang De smiled when he heard this and turned to look at the sky, “Not all the black-haired, yellow-skinned, and Cathayan-speakers are Cathayans, right? After all, the world is so big, right?”

—Don't panic, calm down, calm down, calm down. He might not have seen through it. Who had such a wild imagination to think of this? Moreover, so what if he saw through it?

Kang De adjusted his mentality as if nothing had happened.

He also read the four-word mantra of his dynasty that had begun to confidently face the world since the 1960s.

—I have a nuclear bomb, I have a nuclear bomb, I have a nuclear bomb, I have a nuclear bomb, I have a nuclear bomb…

Tagris looked at Kang De for a moment, shook his head and smiled, changing the topic, “Weren't you asking what precious wealth that Phoenix King left behind?”

He lay down again and looked at the sky, “…It's some kind of will.”

His emerald green eyes turned into flames that soared, illuminating the sky in his eyes with the color of fire.

“It's the will to protect this land, the will to protect the country and race. Therefore, she left behind the Phoenix Vision. Therefore, she has always been staring at the sky when she was alive because she said that the sky is an even larger sea. She said that the long voyage of the elves on this planet will reach its end one day. At that time, the sky will be a new journey.”

“She said that this world is larger and freer than we thought. It's enough to accommodate elves and humans, dwarves and orcs, and even our feud. The starry sky is like the sea. There are boring voyages and exciting discoveries. There's wealth, freedom, and a new world.”

“However, the route to this beautiful future is controlled by the evil sea monsters. They treat this world as a small pond and us as fish. She said that the enemies of the elves and even all the races and countries in this world should not be the neighbors beside them, but the keepers of the cage. We have a common enemy and future.”

“Therefore, she cultivated this Phoenix Vision. She monitored the sky, deterred it, and defended it. She was the one who suggested the formation and development of the air force. Many air-to-air magic technologies, tactical concepts, and armament development were all established in that era. She even personally participated in the design and promotion.”

“Therefore, under her rule, our civilization was open and prosperous. The elves of that era were not as powerful and powerful as they are now, but we had many good friends who fought side by side and had close relationships. A large part of the reason why we are where we are today is the foundation we laid at that time. However, huge power, wealth, and benefits blinded the eyes of many elves, causing them to only see the rich food and bait in front of them. They did not know that the current banquet is only bait thrown by a guy outside the pond with a cold smile.”

Kang De listened and was leisurely fascinated.

In fact, he had already guessed which beast this Phoenix King was on the island.

However, the contrast was really too great.

After being trapped on the island, she sealed her divine power and transformed into a beast. It was unknown how many years had passed. No matter how dignified an expert was, it was time to let go of herself. Those guys with broken settings had already completely become hooligans and bullies who did all kinds of evil on the island. Even when Kang De came to the island, he was led astray by them…

Therefore, it was impossible to imagine the dignified scene of that fellow wearing a royal robe and holding a sword to control the dynasty, let alone the image of the heroic monarch that Tagris admired.

—Hey, did you know that your ancestral goddess has become a hooligan?

“She's the ancestor I respect and admire the most. I think if I have to do it, I'll become an elf like her… I don't take pleasure in expanding my territory and gathering wealth, but I want to see a further and larger future. I want to fight for my country and subjects… and even for this world.”

“Therefore, Kang De…”

He turned around and said, “Therefore, I believe you. I'll teach you the derivative use of the Phoenix Vision. I'll cooperate with you and save your life… You must be related to that ancestor of the Phoenix King and even have an intimate relationship. Although you're wary of me now and unwilling to tell me the truth, if it's as I guessed, please don't disappoint him either. Don't disappoint his trust in you and the things he gave you.”

Kang De blinked. “Why are you suddenly so serious, but… alright.”

For the sake of that Phoenix King.

…However, wait a minute. Why did she kill the elves so happily on the island at that time?

He would go back next time and ask in person.

Speaking of which, he missed them a little.

Kang De looked at Tagris and smiled. “When we officially negotiate, I'll cut you down. Take it as a thank-you for your honesty, kindness, and help today.”

Tagris pursed his lips and said, “Then I've achieved my goal today.”

He stood up and fought a lazy battle, “Lunch break is over! I'll continue to practice in the afternoon! I'll consolidate my vision ability to monitor the sky jump and learn a new application to observe and recognize the energy structure…”

“I don't think there's a need to consolidate it. Let's directly learn new ones…”

“Hmm? You're the teacher and I'm the teacher? Why? Do you think you've already learned it? That Phoenix King can monitor the sky of the entire continent. She'll immediately sense the guy in the sky from anywhere. How far is your detection range?”

“It seems to be further away from you…”

“…Pa!”

“Why did you hit me?! You're not allowed to punish me!”

“I'll hit you! You're not allowed to dodge! I kindly taught you, but you're actually picky!”

Not far away, the gorilla leaned against the window and looked over expressionlessly, munching on melon seeds as she watched.

Duke Tiling, who was said to be the strongest and most knowledgeable spellcaster of the elves but had not taught him any magic knowledge, continuously knocked Kang De's head with predictions, speed, and movements that he could not dodge.

The commotion came to an end.

Kang De was pressed to the ground by the elves and kept flicking his head. He could not struggle. He said angrily, “It's fine! Speaking of which, why are you so skilled?!”

The elf also learned this joke and smiled, “Of course, I've done it many times in the past.”

Only when he was satisfied did he let Kang De go. The elf sat on the other side and looked at the sky with a nostalgic and happy smile, “I haven't played like this for a long time… He's very boring now.”

Kang De turned around and looked at the other party with an aggrieved and angry expression.

The elf smiled again. “Yes, it's this expression. It's very fun.”

The man and elf sat down and laughed together.

After a while, Kang De slowly restrained his smile and looked at Tagris, who had been smiling. He slowly sighed, “I actually don't want to be friends with you… at least not now.”

The elf's smile faded slightly.

Kang De retracted his gaze and closed his eyes. “On account of your words today… so don't lie to me, or I'll kill you.”

“Yes, I'm not lying to you.” Tagris moved over and stretched out his hand. “Let's pinky swear.”

“Childish.”

Kang De said this, then stretched out his hand.

At the same time, in the tent north of Goethe, Princess Tina put down the letter that had been secretly sent.

The series of tactical deception and mobilization of troops of the Elven Expeditionary Force seemed to be to defend on the spot and deal with the attack that Kang De might launch, but in fact, they were gathering elite assault troops and pointing them at the capital of Goethe.

The air force, air magic defense, and mage troops mobilized from home were all prepared for someone who might participate in the battle… To this day, the ambition of the elves was no longer limited to destroying Goethe.

They wanted to resolve all the problems in the battle that determined the outcome.

This was a trap.

Emotions changed on Tina's face as she looked to the side.

On the table was another letter she had received a few days ago. It was Kang De's personal letter. She had to read it many times a day. There was nothing awkward in the letter. It was slightly official, but the words contained sincerity and kindness, just like when they first met.

She gently touched the letters, her face showing a girl's emotions.

Sometimes it was sweet, sometimes it was longing, sometimes it was worried, sometimes it was painful, and sometimes it was hesitant.

Footsteps sounded outside the tent. A moment later, Sword Saint Snowfall walked in. “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.”

Tina said softly, “Aunt, I want to write a letter to Kang De and send him something…”

“Write a letter?” The Sword Saint raised his eyebrows and said, “Isn't it good to go over directly?”

“No,” Tina revealed a shy expression. “Although it's announced that it's an engagement, it's very embarrassing after all. It doesn't seem good to run over directly. He wrote that Tedrell has to participate in the terms proposed by the elves, so I want to ask Father's opinion first. Moreover, that kind of thing… has to be agreed upon by Father. After all, such a matter that concerns lifelong happiness has to be blessed by his family.”

“So…”

Goethe's pearl smiled brightly. “I want to go home first.”
