Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 135: I’m Back

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kang De was already very familiar with these two things.

As expected of the hegemon of the world. The elves were extremely rich. A large part of the strength of a country was reflected in the standardization of armaments. The cavalry bows and arrows equipped by the scouts of the desolate forest were all top-notch. The swords used for self-defense were also cold and exquisite, but that was all… No matter how powerful normal equipment was, it was still normal equipment.

After throwing all the weapons he picked up at the Autobot, the child reached out and grabbed them. He bit them one by one and ate them as spicy sticks. As he ate, he nodded. “They taste good.”

Kang De smiled and bent down to search for the equipment and items on the next elf. According to his experience in the battle of the Holy Seal Islands, most of the standard equipment of ordinary elf soldiers was not enchanted, but these long-lived species would accept gifts from their relatives or mentors in their long lives. They usually had some accessories or talismans.

These magic accessories were of various types. There were necklaces, rings, amulets, and belts. There were also many types of enchantment. Some he could deduce the effect, but some he could not. After all, he had not received orthodox magic education and was extremely ignorant.

He would put it away and study it slowly.

He searched them one after another.

From the looks of it, the next elf was different from the other elves. The riding bow was also more gorgeous and large. Beautiful patterns spread across the bow, and magic power flowed. It looked to be the leader of this scout.

He picked up the bow and stared at it. He saw the trajectory of the elements flowing. It was still an enchantment he could not recognize. Kang De put away the bow and continued to search.

“…Eh?”

In the next moment, a smile appeared on his face.

He lifted the elf leader’s quiver and pulled out an arrow. He threw the others to the ground. The arrows that were thrown to the ground were also well-made. The shaft was straight, the arrowhead was sharp, and the tail was beautiful, but they were really not worth mentioning compared to the one in his hand.

This was because these seven arrows were circulating with an ice-blue light.

Kang De recalled that when he asked the question earlier, the elf opposite him laughed and shot an arrow. The arrow was dodged by the Autobot and shot into the ground, condensing into an ice surface. He thought that this was a skill like the Magic Archer. It would be great if it was an enchanted ice bow. He did not expect it to be an enchanted arrow.

“I see. Low-level officers are equipped with a certain number of enchanted arrows. There is some enchanted equipment in the standard equipment of the entire cavalry team that is gathered in the hands of a few officers and elites. From this, we can see the production capacity and weapons of the elves…”

The elves did not attack Goethe with the strength of the entire country. It was far from that. It was only a local war.

In this expeditionary army, a light cavalry unit that went out to hunt was equipped with such equipment. From this, it could be guessed what the true elite elves looked like.

For example, their strength and skills were stronger, and their equipment and weapons were stronger. All of them were incomparably powerful warriors. Moreover, their entire bodies were enchanted from top to bottom, and even all the arrows were enchanted…

“Be careful, be careful. I can’t underestimate the enemy. I can’t underestimate them. Strategic contempt is fine, but tactically, I can’t underestimate the enemy. I can’t at all. If I lower my guard, someone will die…” Kang De muttered.

He had won so easily today, but he did not relax his vigilance at all. In the end, this was only a cavalry team of more than 30 people, and they were caught off guard by an unprecedented attack method. The true war was thousands of military formations, vast and surging torrents, and unimaginable experts.

It was not only the elves who had never seen the way of war in the era of firearms.

Kang De had never really seen the combat methods of this other world.

However, it was not unknown.

Kang De held the frost arrow and smiled.

Even the world’s overlords could only provide a certain number of enchanted arrows to low-level officers.

—Perhaps I don’t understand your war method and have never seen your combat art, but I understand a principle. Enchanted weapons can greatly increase the combat ability of soldiers.

The difference between them might not be as great as the difference between hot and cold weapons, but it was probably similar to the difference between steel and bronze weapons.

Therefore…

—Friend, your production capacity doesn’t seem to be enough.

Kang De turned around and looked at his iron son who was standing obediently at the side. He smiled kindly like an old father.

—Child, let me show you a treasure.

The Autobot was frightened by Kang De’s smile. The parts in his body cracked.

Its tone was clearly weak, “Father… why are you smiling like this?”

Kang De replied, “Ah, I just thought of something…”

“W-What’s the matter?”

The Earthling pondered and said, “I don’t think we can buy a house in the South Pole…”

Fire elements were very easy to obtain. He could just find a place to set fire and burn it. However, the frost elements were not so easy. He could either wait for winter, go to the North and South Poles, spend money to buy a warehouse of ice, or blow at the air conditioner… In any case, it was easy without the fire elements.

Kang De looked at his son and said in a low but firm tone, “Child, don’t worry. I have to create a good environment for you to learn and work no matter what. I’ll think of a way. Just study and do things in peace!”

“…”

The Autobot discovered that it was still too young… Because after thinking for a long time, there were no words or words in the database that could euphemistically describe its current mood and thoughts.

Only one word could do it.

It turned around and whispered, “F*ck.”

The looting ended and Kang De felt so tired.

“Why can’t I press the E key to search and collect everything…”

As he spoke, he picked up the last elf sword that had not been eaten by the Autobot.

Kang De stood in front of the corpse of an elf.

He slowly squatted down.

Seeing this, the Autobot was first shocked, then said, “Father, what are you doing?”

Kang De placed the sword on the elf’s neck. The other party had been shot in the chest with two large holes, but the head was intact. He said calmly, “We have to finish what we started. Out of righteous anger, we chased after the murderer of the village and avenged the innocent people. Since those Goethe people were burned and their corpses exploded, we’ll bring the heads of these elves back and let them see them in peace. In addition…”

He said softly, “I have to remind myself that I’m on Goethe’s side.”

“…Please wait!”

The Autobot strode over, bent down, and knelt on one knee. It reached out and pressed Kang De’s shoulder, saying, “Those Goethe people are already dead. We’ve already avenged them. There’s no need for additional rituals. Father doesn’t need to add an additional burden to himself…”

“You’ve decided to interfere in this war and stand on the side of the Goethe people. I’ll be with Father, but there’s one thing. The Goethe people are guarding their homes and resisting the invaders. You don’t belong in this place. You’re not guarding your home, but for a nobler reason. Apart from keeping your promise, there’s also pity.”

“You pity the Goethe people who have suffered from the war and the ordinary elf soldiers who have been used and sacrificed. Therefore, you have to end this war and punish the people who started it so that innocent people will not be used anymore.”

“It’s precisely because of this that noble warriors should not be polluted and changed by the evil flames of war. We will fight without hesitation, kill the invading enemy, and punish all evil deeds. However, I think there’s no need to do such a fake and meaningless action purely to comfort the dead.”

The Autobot said in a low voice, “I beg Father not to do this.”

Kang De turned his back to the Autobot and said nothing for a long time.

Then, he sighed, threw away the short sword, and pressed his hand on the elf’s chest.

Then, the elf’s body slowly turned to dust and completely disappeared from the world.

Only colorful elemental balls floated and danced.

Kang De waved his hand and dispersed them, not absorbing them at all.

Then, he walked towards another corpse.

After all the corpses were dealt with, be it the elves or the spirit deer, they lit another fire and burned this place. Then, they extinguished the fire, settled it, and left.

“Find a river, drive all the way, and then go ashore.”

After driving for dozens of kilometers, it found a desolate valley. The Hummer plunged into the messy vegetation. This was the best camouflage. It said, “Father, aren’t you going to bring me along? I’m sure I can return to the white fog world. That’s the origin of my life. I won’t be killed.”

Kang De rolled his eyes. “But please, not to mention how difficult it is to carry you now, after I transmigrate to the white fog world, I’ll directly appear in the bedroom at home. If I bring you along, the entire bedroom will probably explode.”

He had never tried what would happen if he returned to the white fog world with something larger than his bedroom… However, Kang De felt that it was best not to try some experiments blindly.

However, this was indeed a problem.

In order to fight the elves, he needed strength. His strength came from the white fog world, but he needed to buy a house on Earth to open a map. In other words, he would have to do something on Earth sooner or later, because some things could not be obtained with money. He had to have the power and strength to match them.

In other words, he would have to do something on Earth sooner or later… or be troubled.

His iron son was a good helper in solving problems and in various ways.

It would be a pity if he could not bring it to Earth.

“Ah… I can buy a large warehouse or something and arrange a bed in the middle… That way, there’ll be enough space to bring it over.”

In other words, he had to buy a house…

Kang De sighed. D*mn, what was going on? He had clearly transmigrated and obtained such a powerful cheat. He had even become the kingdom’s son-in-law and walked to the peak of his life, but he still had to worry about buying a house.

He chased away his boring thoughts and said, “I’m going back and bringing you some textbooks. Stay here and don’t move. Time flows differently in the two worlds. Ideally, I’ll return tomorrow, but if anything unexpected happens, it’ll be six to seven days…”

The Autobot agreed, “Yes, I’ll guard here.”

“Be careful in everything… In the worst case, you’ll be discovered by the elf army. Of course, this is the worst and lowest probability. If this really happens, remember to act stupid. Just treat yourself as a car and let them fiddle with it as they please. Unless they want to dismantle you, don’t change shape…”

Kang De rambled on for a while, and the Autobot agreed to everything.”

“Then… I’m leaving.”

Kang De said, “Also… thank you for what happened just now.”

The Autobot let out a low laugh. “Father actually knows how to thank me. I’m really surprised…”

Kang De said as if nothing had happened, “Of course, why won’t I thank you? I’m such a kind person. I’ll definitely repay your kindness and bring you many, many good things…”

“…”

Before the Autobot could admit defeat, space shattered and Kang De disappeared from this world.

The cold moon was cold and the mountain ridge was silent. Amidst the withered vines and weeds, a Hummer quietly stopped on the spot. After a while, it sighed softly, “F*ck.”

Opening his eyes, Kang De arrived at the white fog world. He threw the elf-enchanted items he had brought back to the master bedroom and placed them with the remaining high-value collection of the Goode family.

Then, he leaned against the wall and raised his head. He was silent for a long time before activating his ability.

Space shattered again. The door opened and a bridge was built.

Kang De returned to the real Earth.

The house was dark and it was night. The lights outside shone in, and the phone in his pocket vibrated continuously. He reconnected to the network and a large number of pushes and messages swarmed in.

Kang De took out his phone. There was already an Internet signal. The time on his phone quickly adjusted. It was 9:32 PM. He calculated in his mind from the time he left to the time he returned.

The ratio of time was about seven to one…

There was another message notification that he had not called.

Kang De hurriedly looked. It was not his parents, but the real estate agent. His heart stirred slightly. He casually turned on the light and considered calling back—it was already very late.

However, the next moment, he realized that it was inappropriate to turn on the light. Just as he was about to turn off the light, he heard a sound outside the door.

Kang De sighed.

Then, the sound of the key opening sounded. The door was roughly pulled open. Old Wang was dressed in fluffy one-piece pajamas. She held a fire axe in both hands and looked in nervously.

Then, she saw Kang De.

“…”

Kang De complained, “Is this the Chinese version of Alice: Madness Returns?”

The vigilance and anticipation in the girl’s eyes instantly turned to joy.

She threw the fire axe aside and jumped over to hug Kang De. “You’re back!”

Her warm body trembled slightly.

It was only a day of separation, but she felt that it was very long.

This was because she knew that Kang De must have experienced a long time in the Main God Space…

Kang De’s body first stiffened, then he slowly relaxed. He was hugged by the girl and looked at his hands. Hesitation flashed across his face. There was hesitation, but in the end, he was relieved and smiled.

—Silly son, I really have to thank you for this time.

If he really cut off the heads of those elves and piled them up in the village… then he probably did not dare to respond to his childhood sweetheart’s hug when he returned this time…

He placed his hand behind the girl and hugged her.

“I’m back.”
