MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 37 Don't do it
Cleveland didn't know about Kant's little move.
He didn't even have a concept of something like a mobile phone, and he didn't know that this thing could take pictures.
If he had known, he would have shouted out a "despicable stranger" and so on.
But the princess knew.
When Kant sent the princess back to the camp for the first time, he took a selfie with the princess and demonstrated to Tina the more sophisticated camera functions of the mobile phone, which impressed the girl deeply.
At this time, when Kant made this move, he knew what this guy wanted to do.
She covered her mouth and pointed at Kant with the other hand, her eyes widened in shock.
It looks like it's blaming Kant for his actions.
But there was a strong smile in his eyes.
Kant whispered: "After the filming, I will also share with you."
Tina put down her hand and smiled mischievously: "Deal... But you can't show it to others."
Kant smiled and said, "Of course, only the two of us know about this. Let's keep it as a souvenir."
The girl giggled.
The two looked at each other and felt that their relationship became closer. Sure enough, the best way to increase their friendship is to work together to bully another honest person.
Not knowing how long Cleveland will wear, the two chatted for a while.
"High heels?"
Talking about this, the princess is familiar: "At first, the high-heeled boots invented by the Bayero people were used to clamp the stirrups to facilitate combat, and were introduced into the empire. Later, with better designs, they were gradually eliminated, but some nobles still Retaining this tradition, as for the complete popularity, more than 100 years ago, the then head of the empire, Aust I, was not tall. High-heeled shoes have been loved by the emperor since then..."
Kant subconsciously said: "It's an elves again."
"Yes, it's an elves again."
The girl also sighed: "The innate talent of elves is stronger than that of humans, and they have a very high affinity for nature. The druids of the Dusk Moon Dynasty's life's tasks are planting, raising wood, making bows and animal husbandry, and fighting is only secondary. To... Elves have better talent than humans, eat more than humans, and naturally have better physical fitness than humans. More than a hundred years ago, let alone His Majesty the Emperor, even in general heights, elves are far higher than humans."
"It's much better now. Humans also have their own Druids, and they have broken through the arcane blockades of elves and walked out of their own paths. The population has multiplied, food production has increased, more land has been cultivated, and more people have been fed... Humans are slowly getting stronger now."
"only…"
Tina said softly, "It's just that the elves are always getting stronger..."
"Not just military and economic strength, but other..."
The girl murmured: "The most popular and famous drama and opera in the human country must have been introduced from the Moonlight Dynasty. The fashionable clothing and costumes of the upper class in the imperial capital must also be led by elves."
"Elves' novels, elf songs, elf dramas, elf costumes, elf culture, all elf things will be enthusiastically sought after by nobles, an ordinary, even wicked elf, who comes to the human kingdom, You will receive all kinds of inexplicable preferential treatment, and even women will give you their arms."
"As for Kant, the stockings you mentioned are also from the elves. They were originally stockings made of special materials by the Sky Rangers to prevent them from being scratched by thorns and grasses when they exercised in the forest. As a result, the imperial nobles ignored them. Take it directly and learn to wear it, not only that, but it has also become a status symbol..."
When she said this, she shook her head again and again, with a complicated expression, perhaps out of anger.
Today's Tina is extraordinarily talkative.
Perhaps on this issue, she really lacks someone to talk to.
"This situation... I'm very uneasy. The elves rely on their powerful military and economic strength to promote their culture to the world, let other races accept the elves' way of thinking, and let other races gradually recognize the elves, I just feel This sign is dangerous."
"But I can tell the people around me, they don't think so, they think I think too much..."
She looked at the Aurora in front of her and said softly, "Can Kant understand me?"
Of course it can.
So capable.
Cultural invasion, soft knives kill.
There is nothing new under the sun, and the situation faced by humans in other worlds is certainly also present on Earth.
Cultural output.
Foreign garbage.
Hollywood.
national soft power.
Too much.
Kant wanted to analyze the situation with Tina and tell her that her concerns were very correct, but for a while, he didn't know how to describe and explain it to Tina systematically and concisely because he couldn't In the case of the earth, he still has to hide the earth.
But Tina smiled.
"Great…"
She murmured: "Your eyes tell me that you understand, and you agree with my thoughts. My worries are indeed correct, right?"
Kant nodded and said, "Of course it's correct."
He said slowly: "If you want to describe this situation...you can probably call it a conflict between civilizations, not just military and economic conflicts, but more about institutions, history, beliefs, spirits, etc. If a civilization wants to be strong, it must not only maintain its internal innovation and strength, but also not only focus on the expansion of territory and population, but more importantly, maintain its cultural strength..."
Kant said this with a distressed look on his face. He felt that some words did not express his meaning. After all, he was not a professional scholar, and he was just an ordinary person with a little knowledge.
Being able to have such an elaboration also comes from the experience and thinking of this year.
Just a little feeling.
But this little feeling is important enough to Tina.
Her eyes widened. "So, how are we supposed to change this?"
He still knew how to answer this kind of question, but only knew.
"Of course it is to strengthen oneself, to maintain strength and power in terms of strength. Only with strong national strength can you be qualified to export culture to the outside world, and others will be interested in your culture, and will be willing to learn, understand and pursue it. Without an aircraft carrier, you It doesn't matter how many Confucius Institutes are built."
"Of course, it's better for the two to go hand in hand, and it's best to have both style and style..."
Kant spread his hands: "Of course, this is just a general discussion. For example, everyone understands the principle of strengthening oneself, but when it is actually operated, they don't know how to do it."
Tina looked at him quietly: "Kant...you know?"
I… know what?
Planting more fields, producing more grain, raising more people, smelting more steel, and creating bigger explosions—this is the road to a strong country summed up by Kant based on the historical process.
As for cultural countermeasures in addition to powerful countries, it is even simpler.
After all, compared to Tina, he knows the experience and mistakes of thousands of years of human beings, and there is a lot of civilization essence in the bookstore in the shopping center.
A surefire way to succeed.
But only if you know it.
However, Tina still saw the light in his eyes.
At this moment, the princess almost lost her composure, and she subconsciously grabbed Kant's hand.
But soon, she realized what she was doing, and swallowed the words that were in her mouth.
Like Kant, Her Royal Highness is very cautious and sensible.
She smiled calmly: "It's really interesting to chat with Kant."
Kant felt the softness in the other's hand, and although he was surprised, he also smiled.
"so…"
Her Royal Highness changed the topic without a trace: "On Kant's side, are stockings and high-heeled boots already a woman's attire?"
Kant nodded: "Ah, it's like this..."
He saw the embarrassed longing in Tina's eyes.
Ah, forgot about that.
Kant patted his forehead: "When this is over, I will give you a set, including cosmetics... just treat it as a gift."
The princess showed genuine joy and gratitude: "Thank you so much..."
At this moment, a dissatisfied roar sounded from the jungle behind.
... This guy, Aang, is actually eavesdropping.
Kant shouted at the back: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll give you a set too!"
Really, the clothes and shoes worn by knights can be found in large sizes, but how can you find the women's clothes that the gorilla can wear? Even if you go to Taobao to customize, people will not accept it.
Really.
He secretly complained in his heart, and then heard a crisp voice.
It was the ethereal sound of the stiletto heel of a high-heeled boot hitting the ground.
For decades, high-heeled shoes have gradually become associated with sexual cues. It is said that many men will feel a burst of crispness in their hearts when they hear the crisp walking sound of high-heeled shoes.
Kant held his breath, even though it wasn't like that.
A pair of black boots stepped out.
These boots extend all the way to the knees, on top of which is a length of transparent black stockings, a short section, the rounded thighs are covered by black short skirts, a very beautiful scene.
The white turtleneck sweater perfectly blocks the Adam's apple.
Khaki windbreaker jacket, full of fashion trends.
Brown big wavy curly hair, revealing mature charm.
The knight blushed and roared, "What shameless dress is this!"
And the princess was already stunned.
I have to say, the knight is really good.
A windbreaker, a white sweater, a short skirt, stockings, and long boots was chosen by Kant. It has a very steely straight man's aesthetic, and it will be spit on the earth... But it looks really good when worn on a knight.
After all, Kant is well-informed, and he calmed down after only being amazed. After all, the knight's face is also a bit playful... But it doesn't matter, there are many solutions.
"You have to put on the charm necklace later."
He lowered his head and picked up the package of cosmetics: "I'll help you with makeup... Tina is here to help."
The knight took two steps back and nearly fell, Kant's expression disturbing him.
"Wait...wait a minute! Don't come here yet!"
