Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

395 Not Huge

Although Goethe was saved from the danger of destroying the country, the problem still existed.

First was Twilight.

The elves had suffered a new defeat, but the huge expeditionary army had not been withdrawn. The attitude of the Twilight regime was unpredictable, and the variables still existed. Even if the elves temporarily swallowed the bitter results, they must be holding a grudge against this failure.

Also, the Human Empire.

Previously, the Empire that had betrayed Goethe had been stabbed in the back. As the ruler of the human world, because he was afraid of the elves’ sharpness, not only did he not stand up for Goethe, but he also secretly reached a consensus with the Twilight Dynasty and agreed to divide Goethe. Now that the elves had lost, it could be said that the Empire had not eaten meat but had caused trouble. That emperor judged others with his own eyes and would most likely think that the Goethe people would hold a grudge. In that case, he would go all out.

These two countries were almost the strongest superpowers in the world. Goethe was sandwiched in the middle. In terms of geopolitics, it was simply extremely dangerous. It was all thanks to Kang De’s nuclear bomb that they could maintain their lives.

However, the elves and the people of the Empire were afraid of Kang De’s forbidden curse because they were large and powerful. The organization form and military pattern of their country were destined to be powerful and fragile.

The capital of the country, the economic and trade center, the transportation hub, the military town, the large port, and even the army camp. Even if a country could be wary for a moment, it could not be wary for a lifetime.

On the other hand, Kang De could patiently hide and wait. If he saw an opportunity, a shocking attack could leave the superpower with unbearable pain. Moreover, there would be a second or third time.

Only this kind of deterrence could make the large countries afraid and compromise.

This was because no matter what, be it open or secret, trick or scheme, Kang De always had the final choice.

However, such a deterrence sword was not always effective.

There were always people or organizations who were not very afraid of this ultimate revenge.

For example, the headquarters and branches of a small and organized group were located in the cities of various countries. They were even extremely hidden. Of course, they were not afraid of Kang De directly smashing them with a forbidden spell, or even a lonely guy with nothing to worry about, let alone mind Kang De using a forbidden spell to take revenge on the world.

If they came to make things difficult for Kang De, the deterrence of the forbidden curse would be meaningless. In fact, if Kang De wanted to investigate and take revenge, he could not even find where the other party’s door opened with his own strength.

However, at a time like this, the strength of the country could be displayed. Goethe could rely on the human, financial, material, information, and foundation of an entire country to guard against, resist, pursue, and take revenge on this person or group. Its efficiency and execution ability were incomparable to an individual.

This was alliance and complementarity. Conventional and strategic deterrence forces were two different things.

However, there was a problem.

There was another organization in this world that was not afraid of Goethe’s national strength or cared much about Kang De’s deterrence.

For example, Dragon Island.

Although it was only a loose independent kingdom with very few subjects, the average quality of the people broke through the horizon. Even if a war broke out, they could rely on high mobility and group strength to burn the entire Goethe to ruins. After all, they did not need to rule or enslave. They could just burn soil into glass.

They even went all out and were not afraid of Kang De’s forbidden curse. In any case, there was only such a large piece of land on Dragon Island. He could not smash many dragons to death. After all, everyone had wings and knew magic. It was not like they could not run.

Then, they would fight to the death.

Such a powerful and troublesome organization had become an enemy. The Empire and the elves were only worried in the long run, but the trouble of Dragon Island was imminent, and the reason for hostility was extremely sufficient.

This was because Kang De had caused the financial report of the Dragon Defense Company to explode.

After working hard for a year, the year-end bonus of the dragons might be wasted.

It was simply an irreconcilable hatred.

“It’s best not to fight, and it’s best if we can talk.”

Kang De, who had returned from the white fog world, met the Grand Duke and the others.

Grand Duke Leckos did not say a word about last night. After all, he had learned about his ugly appearance last night from his sister’s exaggerated retelling. If possible, he would not mention it and was prepared to let time forget this past.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about the power of technology.

Kang De had already given his iron son the precious video he had taken last night and asked him to follow the entire work of the demonic video at the station, especially the scene of the Grand Duke sleeping and sitting up in the bedroom last night. He could repeat it at least ten times and find a good day to stab his gorgeous father-in-law in the back.

The Grand Duke knew nothing about this evil son-in-law’s evil thoughts. The news from Dragon Island made him take it especially seriously. After all, this was a matter related to national security. Be it public or private, Goethe had to face it with Kang De.

He said, “Let me talk to Dragon Island.”

Kang De smiled and said, “There’s no need. They’re here for me. Be it issuing a challenge or having other requests, I have to resolve them. After all, the core problem is that I smashed their reputation.”

The Grand Duke pondered for a moment and sighed.

Kang De had killed the dragon to protect this country. Even if he attracted the revenge of Dragon Island, Goethe should bear the consequences, let alone criticize him.

He only sighed at the weakness of the country and was not even qualified to block the attacks of the dragons for Kang De. Instead, he owed Kang De more and more. If he said that he did not want to sell his daughter, what was he selling her for?

The Grand Duke was sad for a moment, then he perked up and said, “Then I’ll mobilize the elite troops just in case.”

Kang De’s eyes lit up with phoenix flames, “There’s no need for that. I heard that high-level dragons can change their forms, but they can’t escape the detection of the Phoenix Vision in the end. Apart from letting a few dragons transform into humans to attack me, the dragons don’t have any way to use force. I’ll know at a glance if there’s a conspiracy.”

Seeing this, the Grand Duke was shocked, “…This is a secret technique of the Elven royal family. How do you know it?”

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “Why? Do you suspect that I’m a spy sent by the elves?”

To be honest, the Grand Duke indeed had this thought at this moment, but the next moment, he rejected it. Kang De had killed at least 100,000 elves. The Twilight Dynasty had used such a huge price to plant a spy… Leckos felt that Goethe did not have such face.

“But…” He was still a little shocked, “Why are you…”

“You might not believe it, but I’ve slept with the Phoenix King.”

—It was better not to say such a thing in front of his father-in-law.

Kang De casually brushed it off.

Although the Grand Duke was shocked and curious, he did not ask further. It was meaningless. What was important was not why Kang De knew the Phoenix Vision, but which side he was on. Kang De had already expressed his stand with several practical actions and the blood of countless elves, and there was no reason for the Grand Duke to be less qualified to pursue this secret.

He sighed. “Then you can talk. No matter the outcome, Goethe will stand with you.”

“You’re the head of a country. Unless the Dragon Emperor comes, you don’t have to appear. Let Tina and Stella talk with me. This extravagance is grand enough. Moreover, you don’t have to be too worried.”

Kang De comforted him, “Dragon Island sent an envoy secretly here to deliver a visitation card, not dozens of dragons lined up in the sky. Their anger shouldn’t be that strong. There’s still room for negotiation.”

“I hope so.”

Although the Grand Duke was not so optimistic, he was not too worried.

This was because he had been prepared for the worst from the beginning.

He wanted to speak, but he suddenly returned to his senses and glared at Kang De, “…Wait, it’s fine if it’s Tina, but why do you want Stella along?”

Kang De was stunned for a moment, then he did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Because Stella reminded me of this first. She should be more familiar with the dragons, right? What else?”

“How would I know?! Who knows what other dark and dirty thoughts you have?!”

Grand Duke Leckos looked straight at Kang De as if he wanted to see through his soul through his appearance. That was the strictest scrutiny. Just a little evil thought would attract the strictest judgment.

He asked, “…You don’t have any improper thoughts, right?”

Kang De said angrily, “What kind of person do you take me for?”

The Grand Duke said indifferently, “I have to repay the benefactor of the mysterious Cathayan. The protector of Goethe, the powerful Forbidden Spell Mage, the ruthless Elven Butcher, and the wild man who deceived my daughter and sowed discord between me and my sister. I don’t know what method he used to coax the playboy that the Crimson Queen is loyal to and the shocking scum who has an unclear relationship with the Phoenix King…”

“—Who’s the scum?!”

“I’ve seen that painting.”

“That’s fake!”

“But I personally saw the way the Phoenix King, Delilah, looked at you that day… How did you do it?”

“…Why do I feel envy in your tone?”

“Because I’m indeed… that’s not the point!” The Grand Duke said fiercely. “You’d better…”

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded from behind. In the next moment, the two of them, who were at daggers drawn, put on kind expressions. They turned to look and saw Tina and Stella approaching together. The sisters were charming and had different temperaments. Tina was beautiful and gentle, and Stella was confident and noble. Her equally brilliant blond hair shone together, and her similar face was faint and gentle. What a beautiful pair of sisters.

Beauties were like flowers that bloomed together. It was really a rare scene in the world.

Kang De looked at it for a moment before feeling the cold gaze beside him. He turned and saw that the Grand Duke’s gaze was filled with a deep warning, and Kang De smiled brightly and harmlessly.

“What are you talking about?”

The dragon envoy had already arrived. Stella was clearly a little nervous. In comparison, Tina was much calmer. Just as she had said, as long as Kang De was around, she was not afraid of anything.

The princess came to Kang De’s side and naturally hugged his arm. She massaged his tired arm and asked with a smile.

“Just now.”

Kang De smiled at his father-in-law. He felt that teasing the Grand Duke was very interesting now.

He said, “I was talking about your sister. The Grand Duke said to find an opportunity to introduce her to me.”

—F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

“There has to be a limit to bullying Father.”

After the Grand Duke, who had a straight face and barely said a few polite words, left, Tina pursed her lips and smiled.

She had long seen through it.

She asked, “What did Father tell you?”

“Him.”

Kang De glanced at Stella, who was a little distracted, and smiled. “Your father warned me not to have any thoughts about your second sister and not to have any thoughts I shouldn’t have.”

Only then did Stella come back to her senses. She subconsciously blushed and spat, “What does it have to do with me?!”

“How would I know?” Kang De spread out his hands and said, “Your father treats me as a playboy. I’m really wronged.”

“Sigh, Father will think nonsense.” Tina nodded and echoed, “Kang De is clearly so simple, honest, and honest. How can he have designs on Second Sister…”

One of them really dared to tease this adulterous couple, and the other really dared to flatter them.

The only audience had a strange expression and threw slight uneasiness towards the dragons to the back of their minds. Stella looked at Kang De’s face. No matter how she looked at it, it had nothing to do with “loyal and honest”.

She was about to say something when a figure flashed in front of her. The gorilla appeared like the wind and hugged Kang De’s other arm. She faced Tina head-on. “Kang De, Kang De, I’m here!”

There was still some redness on her face.

She even felt that her body temperature was higher than usual.

Kang De asked, “What did you do just now?”

The gorilla subconsciously said, “I… Oh, no, no, no! I didn’t do anything!”

There was something wrong with this girl recently.

On the other hand, Tina narrowed her eyes.

Before Kang De could ask, Sword Saint Snowfall had also arrived. She and the gorilla acted as bodyguards to prevent the dragons from really having ill intentions and turning hostile on the spot. Tina and Stella accompanied them to show their seriousness.

The meeting with the representative of the dragon race was such a lineup.

Apart from having too many women, there were no other flaws.

Therefore, Santos and the Dragon Girl finally saw the influential figure who shook the world, the Cathayan, Kang De.

There were also the two peerless experts behind him, the Crimson Queen and Sword Saint Snowfall, as well as the two princesses of the Tedrell family, Her Highness Stella and Her Highness Tina.

The Sword Saint was as cold as ice, and her dignified aura was as cold as a snow mountain. The Crimson Empress burned and flew like a stream of flames, and her gaze was disdainful and domineering. Princess Tina was elegant and gentle, and her beauty was peerless on the continent. Princess Stella was confident and intellectual. Her elegant bearing as a princess fused with the mysterious temperament of the spellcaster, making her look even more charming.

Santos had traveled extensively and had seen and enjoyed countless people. However, his appearance, identity, strength, and status were impeccable. There were four in one go. He had really never seen such a scene.

He looked at Kang De, and the thousand words in his heart gathered into one sentence.

Phoenix… Phoenix… King…

—Do you know that you had a good time with Red Maple City?

There was ice and fire, sisters, and even aunts and nieces.

Although he criticized in his heart, the professionalism of a businessman was to lie through his teeth. Even if he despised it very much in his heart, he could still say the most sincere admiration and flattery. Morality was nothing.

He stood up and jogged forward to greet him, bowing eagerly.

“Greetings, Guardian of Goethe, the person controlling the heavenly fire, the powerful Forbidden Spell Mage. The entire world is shocked by your strength. It’s an honor to meet you, Your Highness Kang De.”

He introduced himself with a refreshing smile, “I’m Santos, the Chief Marketing Officer of the Dragon Clan Defense. I’m in charge of the company’s outreach. I’m really sorry to disturb you today.”

“Hello.”

Kang De shook his hand.

Then…

His expression became a little subtle, and his eyes tilted slightly.

Because he was close, a girl in a black dress with an indifferent expression and pale golden hair falling to her hips had appeared not far away at some point. She leaned forward and carefully stared at Kang De’s face, looking at something.

Kang De said, “…This is?”

The girl said indifferently, “I’m a dragon.”

The gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall’s expressions immediately changed. They took a step forward in unison and blocked Kang De. Before this woman spoke, they actually did not sense anything wrong.

This was because, in the perception of the two experts, the aura of this girl who called herself a dragon was no different from Tina’s aura. They both felt like ordinary people.

“I don’t have any ill intentions, or I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to say it.”

The Dragon Girl ignored the hostility and vigilance of the two experts and continued to stare at Kang De seriously. Then, she took out a small notebook and pen.

Kang De blinked. “This… Miss Huge Dragon…”

“I’m not Miss Huge Dragon.” The Dragon Girl’s gaze glanced at Tina. “I’m not huge, just big.”

“…”

“…”

The Dragon Girl asked, “Is this joke not funny?”

“…Then, Miss Big Dragon, what’s the matter?”

“Let me explain.”

The Dragon Girl blinked and was very clear. She said calmly, “The Phoenix King asked me to bring you a message.”
