Chapter 179 The One That Should Come, The One That Shouldn’t Come

Indigenous countries do not frequently invade each other. Compared with the monarchs on the earth who are willing to expand their territory, even if the local country annexes the civilization or city next door, it is difficult for the existence of the God of Civilization to quickly If it is a relatively long civilization, it is enough to digest these foreign civilizations. The so-called digestion means to wipe out all traces of foreign civilizations. Easy, the population is far from being too large to live in, so things like aggression are naturally relatively less attractive.

However, it is only "relative".

"If we were eliminated, probably not even a pair of chopsticks would be left." Russell said slowly, "Anyway, everything will be cleaned up."

"These are good things. Don't use paper, can they be turned into leaves to wipe your butt?" Cecil said angrily, "Even if you don't think about civilians, you should think about your own butt, right?"

"Mages' buttocks are taken care of by magic, so they don't need paper," Langdon said. "Also, the general practice is to kill off the middle-aged and young people. If there are any useful things from different civilizations, record them and keep them well. Years, the rulers can take it out again."

Cecil curled his lips: "In the end, I still can't bear to part with my family."

The king knights all laughed, and the conference room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Why do you think the king came to us?" Cecil brought the topic back on track, "I don't think we are powerful partners in his eyes."

"It's possible that Alexander's king cavalry said something." Oakes said, "I heard that he admires this king cavalry quite a lot."

"I also heard this rumor on the lava front." Oakes said excitedly, "It is said that this king's appearance is very special."

"Special?" Cecil also became interested, and gossip is always relaxing, "How is it?"

"It's not particularly easy to recognize his gender, unlike Burton, a big guy who wears women's clothes." Langdon learned the gag habit very quickly, "He's the kind of guy who you can't be sure whether it's a man or a woman after watching him for a long time. , not even with a tall, strong build and a deep bass, and he was born, so rare."

"Oh——" Cecil made a sound of understanding, "Actually, there are such people in my hometown, and they are movie stars, and there are genderless gods or angels in many civilizations in my hometown, really It's weird."

"The living beings have a need for transcendence." After Langdon finished speaking, there was a meowing sound from behind him. He took out his parchment roll, glanced at it, and spread it on the table. "Burton has something to add."

"Why pass it to you?" Cecil asked strangely.

"My parchment is of a higher level than yours, and can transmit images." Langdon said, "Look first."

The first thing Cecil saw was indeed a map, with small arrows sliding on it, like an animation.On the map of Rochester, there is a villain wielding a sword and heading towards St. Panier. At the same time, there is also a villain on the side of Luofeng Mountain brandishing a sword, heading towards Green Bank. The two villains are each in St. Panier. After fighting with Green Bank for a while, the colors of these two countries on the map changed to the colors of Los Angeles and the Middle Kingdom respectively.

"What the hell?" Cecil muttered, realizing it wasn't over yet.

While the villains of St. Panier were playing happily, another villain appeared in Losher and headed west. The place marked with the name "Alpha" also belonged to the top ten magical countries.

Cecil opened his mouth slightly: "This guy wants to fight on two fronts?"

"Yes." Langdon rested his arms on the table and looked at the parchment. "The demonstration is gone. Basically, that's what Alexander thought, and his royal cavalry also confirmed it."

Cecil showed a disgusted expression: "In my hometown, those who fight on the two fronts always end badly."

An explanatory text emerged on the parchment scroll: Using rapid marches and temporary magic gates to form a blitzkrieg, with the support of the Eastern Front from the Middle Kingdom, we will be able to open up the east-west routes and expand the country.

Cecil: "emmmmmm..."

This FLAG is too scary, right?The words "I am the strongest villain doomed to fail" are plastered on the face of this King Alexander!

"Absolutely not to participate!" Cecil immediately made a decision, "Let's not mention that our relationship with Green Bank is so good, even if it is not very good, why should I occupy these places? We are full! We are not a magical country, If you want land, the area between Moon City, Toto Port, and Gaoting is as big as the entire western area, right?"

"It looks similar from the map." Langdon laughed, "However, there are not only abundant mana but also mineral deposits in the west. Don't you want mines?"

"Just buy it, it's still cheap." Cecil said calmly, "Even if there are many magic countries in the west, there are always poor people. Help me dig mines. If not, I will spend money to send people to dig and pay to these countries. The Green Bank elves will help us too... Oh, by the way, send a message to the Green Bank elves?"

"No need." Langdon said, "According to the news from Wang Qi, once he decides to attack these countries, Alexander will formally declare war."

Cecil was startled: "Afternoon?"

"Yes, it is to make the reason for the war, the date and the number of troops into an easy-to-read thing, and then send it to the king of the warring country." The corners of Langdon's mouth kept rising when he said this.

Cecil was silent for a moment, and said, "How did this man become king?"

"Because his father is the king, and he is the one with the highest magic potential among all the princes." Russell said with a smile, and Oakes laughed unceremoniously, "Plus our king cavalry is quite powerful, He loves him so much that he obeys the king's words, and after the combination of the strongest force and the strongest IQ, the throne is so easy to get."

"This king cavalry left before he became king?" Cecil asked in surprise.

Langdon blinked and said, "This king cavalry used to be his father's cavalry."

Cecil: "..."

I always feel that if I ask a few more questions, there will be a dog-blood story mixed with World War II and the Tang Dynasty.

Langdon smiled and said, "In any case, we will send a message to the Green Bank elves, but I don't think they will learn their lesson."

"It's not going to be the same as before, is it?" Cecil said hopelessly, "Do you still want to fight head-on?"

"That is their hometown, the land of their mother country." Langdon said softly, "If it were you, would you run away immediately when your motherland was invaded?"

Cecil hesitated for a while: "Of course you have to resist if you can beat them, but you have to avoid the edge first if you know you can't beat them. What should you do if you kill them all when they come up? The elves have a difficult birth and a small population. Not a good choice, is it?"

Langdon said with relief: "I think so too, but this is beyond our control."

"Let's talk about it." Cecil stared at the small animation on the parchment scroll, "Why did you attack San Panier? No. [-] has absorbed all the magic energy. Isn't magic dead there? Why are you attacking?"

"Wang Qi's news said that Alexander felt that 'it's time to eliminate evil'."

Cecil involuntarily lowered his head and covered his face.

This is a typical evil result of feudal monarchy. After this kind of thing came to power, he did not control his system or people at all. According to the information summarized by the Gay Knights for many years, no system other than feudalism and slavery has yet appeared on this planet. It is basically impossible to survive, and Might and Magic connects the distance between cities. The more magical the country is, the more suitable it is for the feudal system, because the lower-level personnel have less mobility and leaders are easier to move between different cities than ordinary people. It has sufficient control over each city, and its rule is extremely stable. Changes to the throne will only occur in high-level families or royal families. Once the bottom-level people lose their magical ability, they will immediately be eliminated as wild people and disappear in the city. It is difficult to form a chain. The tide of resistance.

Due to the characteristic of magic that "the next generation can never surpass the previous generation" and the royal family and nobles' special emphasis on "blood theory", the result of the addition of the two is that the upper family has almost no possibility of falling in the magic level, while other classes will. For various reasons, once one marries or marries a partner with low magical potential, it becomes a certainty that the offspring will fall into a lower class in magic, which is exactly the same as the caste system in India.

It stands to reason that such a system should create a country that remains unchanged for thousands of years. However, the longest civilization in the world is only a few hundred years old... It doesn't make sense at all logically.

"Honey." Langdon's voice pulled Cecil out of his contemplation. He raised his head and saw that the royal knights were all looking at him. "Do you want to agree to King Loser's invitation?"

"No." Cecil said decisively, "But I still want to know why he invited us. Although this hope is a bit small, could it be because he has taken a fancy to our technology?"

"No." Langdon shattered Cecil's fantasy, "He's because of your advertisement in Healing Magic."

"Huh?" Cecil suddenly remembered, "Just because of this?"

"Hehe, you can consult Master Owen for specific matters."

Cecil saw Master Owen a few days later. The archmage looked haggard, staring at him for a long time with a nose instead of a nose and eyes instead of eyes, with an extremely gloomy expression.

"I don't know what you are going to do, but if this goes on, I don't know if the Middle Kingdom is the country of dreams, but it will definitely not be my favorite country." Master Owen said coldly, "I will listen to at least two times a day. More than ten times like this, and the healing magic is still unsuccessful!"

Cecil laughed dryly: "You have so many magic bits!"

Master Owen: "..."

Cecil thought about asking Langdon to tell Number Six not to place any more advertisements on Master Owen's side, but Number Six said that he could not accurately locate a person. In the end, the plan became that as long as he entered the border of the Middle Kingdom, he would not receive any more advertisements. , finally settled the matter.

"Hey, wait a minute, let No. [-] use healing magic for the first time when a mage entering the Middle Kingdom uses healing magic, 'Welcome to the Middle Kingdom, where dreams set sail', just send it once." Cecil enthusiastically Lively and authentic.

Langdon looked helpless: "You really have a lot of tricks for tossing mages."

"What's wrong with me?" Cecil said without shame, "It's just an advertisement. What is this? When I was in my hometown, I could receive thirty or forty advertisements a day."

Langdon sighed: "The endurance of the people on Earth is really strong."

Cecil: "Huh."

As time entered August, the epidemic of the Black Death reached its peak in the heat of summer, and Cecil worked hard to prevent the Middle Kingdom from being invaded by the epidemic. This seemed easier than he imagined. Everyone seems to be used to the rules of cleanliness.

Every morning, the person who collects the toilets will push the cart through the streets and ring the bell. The driver will wrap his whole body tightly, no matter how hot it is, he will try to show as little skin as possible, only a pair of eyes are outside, and all hair is shaved off. , This is to detect fleas in time and prevent all possible infections. This appearance is also the standard dress of most residents.

Cecil posted countless notices in various parts of the city, detailing the method of infection, the course of the disease, and the treatment methods of the Black Death. Of course, the treatment method was a little tricky, and no one knew what streptomycin was anyway. , Let’s just say it’s under development.

Luther came later than Cecil imagined, and he came with a lot of people in the city, including his female compatriots.

When Cecil got the news and came out to greet Luther, he found that Luther was empty-handed. He asked in surprise, "Did you bring those tools?"

"Of course I brought it here." Luther compared a middle finger, "It's in the storage space."

Cecil took a closer look, and Luther was indeed wearing a huge black pearl ring on the middle finger of his right hand, which was very exaggerated.

"...You put your hands down first." Cecil said.

Luther looked around while letting go, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that those shabby houses would become like this one day, and I didn't expect that I would come back one day."

"You didn't intend to come back when you left?" Cecil asked, also feeling quite emotional.

Luther nodded slightly: "I really didn't plan. Whether you are good or bad, this place is no longer a wilderness. This is a civilization, and I..."

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to force yourself to join this civilization, I don't care about this kind of thing." Cecil said quickly, pointing to a passing man, "Look, people from the Southern Continent, as long as they work hard here and keep themselves safe, I don't care where you come from."

This man was naked from the upper body, with a pair of loincloths wrapped around his buttocks, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The most unique thing was that he wore a round trapezoidal wooden hat on his head, the top was sunken in the middle, filled with soil , with a variety of plants, mostly flowers.

This is the distinctive attire of a civilization that anyone who has seen once will never forget.

The man planted plants that bloomed in summer. The blue-purple flowers swayed slightly as he walked, which was funny and cute. He peddled goods along the street while walking: "The mats from the south are soft, light, smooth and cheap. Come and take a look! Take a look!"

Luther was a little surprised and said, "You let them sell like this?"

"Push if you want." Cecil said indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid of the civilization gods who form other civilizations? They will snatch believers away!" Luther said.

Cecil smiled: "I'm really not afraid of this."

Luther laughed, hugged Cecil's shoulders tightly, and said with a friendly attitude of the two brothers: "You are still the same as you were a few years ago."

Cecil is also somewhat nostalgic. Few people dare to contact him like this now. Everyone is more and more respectful, and he seems to be getting used to it. I have to say that part of this is due to Langdon's special training, and the other part is due to But if he repeatedly asks others to be casual, it is not appropriate, that is, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is meaningless to increase trouble.

David came too, bearded and haggard.

Because Foster III returned to normal for the time being, Cecil thought that David would not come, so he was very happy when he saw him. He would not ask "Why are you still here?", but David took the initiative. : "I don't want to stay in Tambunita anymore. I have lost my wife and children and I am sadly unfit to live in. I want a new start." Pine tree, "Your place is closer to the land of dreams than I imagined."

Anyway, Cecil was glad the ad worked.

All outsiders had to enter the isolation area for a week, and Luther and David were no exception. After meeting Cecil, he went back to Moon City and got a strange news.

"Alexander is coming," Langdon said.

Cecil:? ? ?

"He said he would come to convince you personally." Langdon's tone was schadenfreude, "He believes that a monarch who can influence magic must think differently, and his righteous battle must be joined by young heroes like you, so, He's going to convince you himself."

Cecil: "...Did this person suffer from hypoxia and suffocation when he was born?"

"No." Langdon was able to say this answer in a serious manner, his expression remained unchanged, "He thought it would be a great thing to win the battle of the gods and defeat the Magic Carriage Company with a new country, and he asked his king cavalry I asked for the detailed process of the battle of gods, including how you prepared, how to win over other gods of civilization, etc. After reading it, I was amazed."

"Fuck, my business is just sold?" Cecil blurted out.

Langdon showed a strange expression: "Honey, you are also one of the 'harvests' of the Gay Knights. Besides, these things are all public, and the Magic Carriage Company has detailed records and analysis."

"Uh..." Cecil suddenly realized that if one day there was a rift between him and the Gay Knights, which side would Langdon be on?

It stands to reason that Langdon must be on his side. The relationship between the two is so close, what should be done should not be done, what should be known should not be known, there is no reason to stand on the side of the Gay Knights, but , After thinking about it carefully, I found out, isn't that what Wang Qi does?

Every king will firmly believe that Wang Qi loves him regardless of everything, no matter what choice he makes, Wang Qi will definitely dedicate everything to him without reservation... Fuck!

The more Cecil thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. Isn't his current state of mind exactly the same as those of the kings?Didn't he also believe 100% that Langdon would give everything for him?

Cecil's forehead was slapped suddenly, and he woke up from his bewilderment. He saw Langdon with a funny face and said, "Don't think about it, Wang Qi will not tell the king what the purpose is. You are also from the Knights. Don't make random assumptions!"

Cecil didn't say anything, but murmured in his heart: In the end, didn't you still not say which side to take?

"I'm on your side. Only we know about the Dijal people!" Langdon said.

"Damn it, did you use mind reading?" Cecil called out.

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is there anything you don't want me to read?" Langdon said calmly.

Cecil: "...No, you can read whatever you want."

I have to say that Langdon's smile is very reassuring, no matter what troubles he encounters, he can solve it——

"So, we can't reject this Alexander?" Cecil said.

"The Gay Knights think it's okay for you to receive them. It can be regarded as adding some experience to Alexander's royal cavalry. Anyway, you have nothing to lose." Langdon said, "You can ask Burton for some benefits."

When Cecil heard this, he smiled happily: "Is it possible to have a few more royal cavalry?"

"Impossible, Burton is annoyed that you lost Moyer and O'Casey," Langdon said.

"Damn!" Cecil couldn't help cursing, "It's none of my business, that O'Casey is obviously the madness of the Holy Knight Alliance... I can bear one-third of the responsibility at most! By the way, what about the Holy Knight Alliance gone?"

"Deadly, crazy." Langdon used a concise and precise description, "The news from the temples in various regions is not good. The Holy Knight Alliance is not far from disbanding."

Hearing this, Cecil couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. He recalled the identical magic battle performance of the Holy Knight Alliance at the Two Realms Magic Fair, which he would never see again.

"Burton really wants to get some paladins." Langdon said, "If you can get some paladins, do you want them?"

Just as Cecil was about to agree, he felt a little disgusted when he thought of what the paladins were doing in the small village: "Forget it, let's talk about it later, we have people coming all the time."

This is probably what made Cecil very happy recently. Not only the opposite of Luoye Bay, but also people from the southern mainland have been coming one after another, all thanks to the Tuhai people.As citizens of the Tang Dynasty, Tuhai people have a good impression of the Middle Kingdom, which uses Chinese characters. Many Tuhai people say that seeing the Chinese characters on the city gates and the signs of shops makes them feel like returning to their motherland. The returned refugees are "Amway" and they go to the Middle Kingdom to beg for food. After all, Tuhai is also suffering from a disaster and cannot accommodate many people.

Because of this, the scope of the isolation camp is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, the weather is hot, and you only need to lay a wooden floor to protect against fleas before you can sleep, and you don't need too much infrastructure.

The standard procedure for immigrants after they arrive is: burn all their clothes, spread out their luggage in the sun, shave all their hair, check for wounds, body temperature, and any suspected symptoms, and then stay in the isolation camp for a week before they can enter the city. , In the isolation camp, there are bald heads walking around everywhere, as if they followed the monk's temple and nunnery.

Amidst such a busy schedule, Cecil received a request from the Gay Knights for an official note from King Loser. It was a piece of jade, very thin and almost translucent, with densely packed small characters engraved on it: King Loser Alexander Amber Touk II asked permission of Central King Cecil Anton Abytomir Renner... to visit Moon City.

Russell smiled and said: "I know, because your name is too long, Alexander spent a lot of money to engrave this official note, I really didn't expect you to have such a role!"

Cecil: "..."

I don't care about you!

Cecil was staring at the jade plate at this moment, thinking about one thing: Since this person's visit cannot be prevented, should we try to get him to bring a business delegation?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I found that the top ten countries were written as the eight major countries...
