MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 24 The hymn of mankind is the hymn of the cottage!

Although it was a temporary camp, Kant still felt the pomp of the nobles of this world.

Tina's tent was at the very center, surrounded by the tents of the maids, and there was a small wooden wall around it. The tent covers a vast area and separates the bedroom from the living room. As soon as you enter the door, the refreshing fragrance penetrates your nose. There is a soft carpet under your feet. There are still a few paintings on the wall. The wooden table and chairs reveal precious The old-fashioned feeling, the precious vase on the table is filled with a bunch of flowers, and the scattered furnishings are dotted everywhere.

Large and small arrangements make the simple tents pleasing to the eye.

The placement of each item is very particular.

This... Your Highness, Princess, you had a great time, didn't you? Obviously living on a deserted island, you still live so comfortably, and your maids and subordinates are still willing to serve you like this.

Incomprehensible.

This is the first time Kant has seen the manner of a real nobleman.

A little disdain, a little curious, a little sigh, and a little envious.

A sense of increased knowledge.

After all, in his country, the so-called traditional aristocrats who dared to act so pretentious, so particular, so well-known and so profound, have long been smashed. There are still many in the West, especially in Europe, and they are prosperous, but This level of "upper-class people" is not accessible to small Chinese civilians like Kant.

For a socialist youth like him, who was born under the red flag and was deeply taught by his mother's words and deeds, the first reaction when he mentioned aristocracy was "a scumbag pretending to be a persecutor" and "the scum of the old times".

It doesn't feel good anyway.

So in his eyes, he subconsciously brought some scrutiny and ridicule.

The princess noticed his gaze, her face flushed, and her heart panicked. For some reason, she didn't really want to be despised by the man in front of her, although the two had only met a few times.

No matter how open-minded she was, when the ceremony was completed, her mood would have changed a long time ago...

Tina explained softly: "I'm not a pampered person, and I don't like extravagance, but as a member of the Teldaril family, I must maintain the dignity of the principality... There is no way out."

Kant could not understand the meaning of this statement for a moment.

But Tina was willing to explain to him that it was a sign of friendliness and kindness.

In the end, this is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him. The two just meet by chance, and there is no conflict. In this case, the pair is incompatible with the class enemy and shouts that my socialist successor will blow you up today. If this group of feudal landowners and the like, it is called neurosis.

- Of course, if the gang of open-mouthed pariahs and shut-mouthed **** looked down at him with condescension and contempt... that's another story.

But no, these Goethes have so far been polite.

So Kant smiled.

The two sides sat down, the knight stood aside, and the head maid personally brought refreshments.

The princess toasted and sipped gracefully, her movements delicate, pleasing to the eye, full of beauty, as if this series of elegant movements had become her instinct.

She smiled and greeted Kant: "Please use, the maid's tea making skills are famous in the court."

Kant wanted to learn her movements, but he knew that it was not like it, and it was obviously more embarrassing to frown in the east, so he simply reached out and picked up the cup and took a sip.

Head Maid Bedra has been paying attention to Kant. Seeing this scene, she immediately widened her eyes, but she understood her identity and immediately lowered her head deeply.

The Cleveland Cavaliers also looked surprised.

For thousands of years, the aristocrats on the mainland have created a set of things to show their compulsion, to separate the class and distinguish the pariah. After so many years of development and penetration, it has already become something that the aristocrats are unanimously pursuing. The strict requirements of etiquette for the daily behavior of nobles can be called perverted, but everyone is consciously maintaining it, because it represents class and style, and allows a noble to quickly judge the weight and education of the object of conversation , but also to allow the desolate nobles to continue to maintain their false sense of superiority.

And Kant's behavior just now can be called the behavior of a barbarian.

For the nobles, his actions were unpleasant, and they were unsightly.

Kant also noticed changes in the expressions of several people present.

His expression remained unchanged, and he put down the teacup calmly and gently.

My mother said that you don't need to be blind to those phony **** when you eat Western food. Foreign devils have a lot of things to do. Don't make noise when you eat and drink, and don't make any noise when you put a cup and move a knife and fork.

"I'm from the countryside." He looked at the princess whose beautiful eyes were slightly wide, "I'm smiling."

The princess responded quickly, and immediately concealed her surprise, then smiled and said: "You are joking... You have been living in seclusion on this island far away from the hustle and bustle of the world all the year round. You are tired of cumbersome etiquette."

"I'm really not used to this rigid, polite tea party."

Kant tells the truth.

And a little disillusioned.

He used to be very good at the culture and visitors of the strange world, and he also got along well with Cleveland, but just now he noticed the surprised eyes of the knight and the maid, like looking at an alien.

This is especially true for Ms. Bedela. When he just reached out for the teacup, the aunt's eyes almost shot two cold lights. It seems that her actions made the other party look very unpleasant.

It was a cultural divide that made him uncomfortable.

This noble and ceremonial atmosphere is not suitable for ordinary people like him.

He is also unwilling to imitate, unwilling to adapt.

"Let's get straight to the point."

Kant said.

He still thought Tina, who was eating chips and drinking fast and gracefully in the valley yesterday, was cuter.

The princess seemed to sense something, slowly put down the teacup, and nodded.

"first…"

At this moment, someone's voice came from outside: "Your Highness Princess, Knight Commander, forgive me for disturbing you."

The knight looked at the princess, saw her nodding, and bowed slightly, then nodded to Kant to show his apology, then strode out, and there was a low-pitched conversation between the two outside.

After a while, Cleveland went back and forth, whispering: "Mr. Kant, your animal companions are taking away the corpses of those... black beasts."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there any problem?"

The knight replied: "No problem, after all, you killed most of the black beasts yourself, and you have the right to take them away as trophies, but can you leave one for us to test? The enemy has obviously become our biggest threat, and we have to study its weaknesses."

Kant blinked: "None of them are left?"

The knight said helplessly: "Yes."

-here you go.

Kant spread his hands and said: "Then I have no choice. Black beasts are their favorite recipes. Even me, I would not dare to take food from their mouths."

Cleveland was speechless: "There is even a chicken dragging the black beast's body..."

"Send the final chicken."

Kant opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It eats meat and loves roasted black beasts very much, and once I asked it why, and it said, fuck, you humans have been grilling and frying mine since the big bang. Same clan, I can't eat roasted human meat, and roasted black beasts won't let me eat?"

The knight didn't know how to answer for a moment.

very good.

Although these evil beasts are sand sculptures, they are very skilled and thorough in looting, looting, bullying, etc., and there is no need for him to order a second time.

- Today's raid by the black beast caught Kant off guard.

Because he didn't want these otherworlders to know the secrets of the black beast.

There is a mysterious crystal at the heart of these strange beasts that suddenly appears, which can be integrated into the flesh and blood to strengthen various indicators of the body... For an individual, it is only a possibility of growing stronger, while for a country, this It's like a powerful army.

It is conceivable that if these Goethes knew the secret of the black beast and reported the secret to the country, a large number of Goethes would definitely come to this island to squat. Once the news leaked, what empire, elves, dwarves? Most of them will also come over to spy, and they have to play the dog's brain.

What is certain is that no matter which force occupies the island, Kant will definitely stand aside.

What a joke.

Lao Tzu has planted the red flag here.

This Po Island surname is Kang or the surname Zhong is the first to say, anyway, it is not yours.

Seeing that the knight was still struggling, he said, "I am the owner of this island for now. You are all guests. The guests came to my house, but they encountered danger. It was my dereliction of duty."

This is a bit polite, the nobles pay attention to etiquette, and hurriedly said: "It's not your fault."

Kant waved his hand and said again: "But then again, black beasts suddenly appeared, and the number has greatly increased. This phenomenon is very unusual. There are a dozen of them today, and maybe there will be more in the future..."

Mr. Knight was keenly aware that when he said this, Mr. Kant's Adam's apple moved involuntarily, as if he was swallowing.

wait wait wait!

Could it be that he was the one who really wanted to eat the black beast?

Kant didn't know the knight's psychological activities, he said sternly: "In order to prevent the bad situation of having to face dozens or even hundreds of black beasts at a time in the future, my opinion is, take the initiative and strike first... I want to find The source of this bizarre change."

Being on a deserted island, thinking about going home day and night, Kant's sense of crisis has always been very heavy.

"I need your help for this," he said.

The knight looked at the princess, and the princess said without hesitation: "Goethe never disappoints friends, you and your friends lend a helping hand to us today, and we will repay your kindness, and I will ask the Cleveland Knights to choose strong warriors. assist you in battle."

Kant smiled and shook his head: "No, you are the guests, how can you let the guests help the owner to clean the room? It's just me and my animal friends to search."

The princess frowned and said, "Then the help you said...is supplies? What do you need?"

"Magnifying Spirit and Mantat... I mean potions of strength and wisdom, all kinds of potions, they can effectively improve my combat effectiveness."

Kant said.

"And enchanting equipment... the more the better."

Stealing the life-long efforts of those alchemists, simply, rudely and effectively imitating them, creating some subtle imitations that even surpassed the originals, although a little unkind, but so exciting.

What? Chinese people will copycat?

Fart, that is called chasing, learning and paying tribute. Besides, how can foreigners say this? After the war, little Japan was copying Europe and the United States. Europe has copied my Qing Dynasty before. The history of mankind is the history of a cottage!

Can it be called a cottage for civilized people?

Kant's golden fingers are already thirsty.
