Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

There were only three people in the room.

Gorilla.

Sword Saint Snowfall.

!!

And…

Dragon Girl.

She was still curled up on the bed.

Seeing Kang De return, the gorilla and Hillmelia heaved a sigh of relief. Sword Saint Snowfall asked, “How is it?”

Sword Saint Snowfall followed Kang De to help Red Maple City and experienced several battles along the way. She fought the enemy side by side with Horus, let alone the gorilla. Not only was her iron son a comrade and friend, but he was also a life mentor who gave her love advice. It was seriously injured, and the two of them were very worried.

“It’s fine.”

Kang De looked at the Dragon Lady on the bed and frowned. “Why are you still here?”

Lily was still wrapped in a blanket and curled up on the bed. She looked like a doll that had transmigrated many times. She looked at Kang De with a strange expression.

Then, he said, “Your people have surrounded this place tightly. How can I leave in my clothes?”

The target of the attack on Maple Leaf Palace was Kang De. As the savior and guardian of Goethe, his every move, word, and action attracted the attention of the entire country and even the world. In an instant, the Grand Duke personally led the team and led the palace guards to surround this place tightly.

However, Kang De was anxious to return to the white fog world with his iron son to treat his injuries and threw the teleportation anchor to the gorilla. Therefore, the gorilla and Hillmelia blocked everyone who had come to support. After all, there were many people and eyes. It was not easy to explain such a thing. The fewer people who saw it, the better, so they simply blocked the Grand Duke and Tina.

Therefore, at this moment, a large group of people surrounded outside, waiting anxiously and feeling uneasy.

The Dragon Girl’s identity was awkward, and she was dressed awkwardly. How could she have the face to wear this in front of everyone?

Kang De said, “Why don’t you change out?”

Lily said indifferently, “So many people are trying to peep in. Try another one?”

Kang De looked impatient. After thinking for a moment, he strode to the wardrobe at the side and opened the door. His clothes were all here. It was too troublesome to return to the white fog world every day.

He reached out and took off a jacket. He threw it over. “Put it on.”

Lily was dressed in a terrifying cosplay outfit, but her chest was only exposed exaggeratedly. The consecutive gauze sleeves on her arms were also relatively bold. Apart from that, there was nothing else. The lower half of her dress floated and covered the top of her shoes. It was very conservative. As long as she did not lift the skirt, the white silk below could not be seen.

As long as her upper body was wrapped in a thick jacket, it could be tightly wrapped.

The Dragon Girl looked at Kang De and sighed in her heart.

She was thick-skinned enough to stay not because of her shame, but because she wanted to take the opportunity to understand the details and try to ease the tension caused by tonight’s attack.

However, from the looks of it, Dragon Island definitely had to give an explanation.

Or…

She pulled the jacket that emitted an inexplicable fragrance into the blanket and put it on carefully.

The other world did not invent zippers, but the Dragon Girl fumbled around and grasped the use. After all, on Earth, zippers had been invented for nearly a hundred years and human-machine interaction was already extremely good. She closed the zipper from the bottom up and gathered the majesty of her chest under the wide coat. Then, her heart stirred.

This latch was very powerful.

She put on her clothes and pulled open the blanket. Because she was hiding under the blanket, her skirt curled up, revealing most of her calves. They were straight and powerful, and the lines were beautiful. Under the white silk, they revealed a hazy and pure charm.

The Dragon Girl immediately reached out to cover her skirt and moved her body to the side. Her exquisite bow stretched forward, and her small toes hooked the shoe on the ground. She gently raised it and her slender jade feet fused into the shoe. Then, she stood up lightly and turned half a circle. Her skirt fluttered slightly as she faced Kang De with an indifferent expression.

“Enough.”

She said.

Kang De nodded slightly and retracted his gaze. “Let everyone in.”

Only then did the gorilla open the door.

Tina rushed in immediately and hugged Kang De. The Grand Duke followed, then Second Princess Stella, followed by the palace’s armed minister, the commander, the chief mage, and a few other experts. These people had serious expressions and nodded at Kang De. Another person was firmly sandwiched between them with a dark and ashen expression.

It was the Chief Marketing Officer of Dragon Island Defense Company, Santos.

At the time of the attack, the Grand Duke had done a total of three things. The first was to activate the defense system of the Maple Leaf Palace and closely guard against a possible attack. The second was to mobilize people to support Kang De. The third was to immediately send an army to surround the residence of the Dragon Delegation and detain everyone.

This was both detention and protection, especially to protect Santos. If the envoy of Dragon Island died for no reason after Kang De was attacked by the dragon-shaped death warriors, no matter how he explained, a huge battle between Goethe and the dragons was inevitable.

Therefore, Santos did not resist and followed the Goethe people here.

Everyone present was a member and core subordinate of the Tedrell family. When everyone saw that Kang De was unharmed, they heaved a sigh of relief. When they saw the Dragon Girl Lily in the room, they were stunned again.

Why did the beautiful Miss Dragon appear in Kang De’s room at night and why was she wearing his clothes? No one cared about such a thing. Now was not the time to say this.

Kang De patted Tina in his arms. The girl hugged him tightly, very hard, and her body trembled slightly. Clearly, she was afraid and worried to the extreme. She could no longer lose anyone else.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m fine.”

Kang De whispered a few comforting words. When Tina gradually calmed down, he looked at Santos.

“Mr. Messenger,” he asked, “do you have anything to say?”

The armed minister and the commander stepped aside. Santos walked forward and said calmly, “This is a conspiracy. The conspirators want to take this opportunity to destroy the peace talks between Goethe and the dragons and start a dispute.”

Before Kang De could speak, Tina turned in his arms.

She grabbed Kang De’s clothes tightly with both hands, and her red eyes revealed a cold glint. She slowly said, “Although you say that, if Dragon Island sends assassins and gives them scrolls and magic medicine, after the assassination fails, say that this is a conspiracy against Dragon Island and Goethe. This situation is not impossible.”

She said in a gloomy tone, “The appearance of the Dragon Blood Magic Potion and the Dragon Transformation Scroll is real. Mr. Messenger’s one-sided words can’t convince Goethe.”

“I understand.”

Santos’s expression was gloomy.

No matter how he explained it, scrolls and magic medicines were extremely unfavorable to Dragon Island.

...

The dragons either proved their innocence or disdained to explain and directly started fighting.

Apart from that, there was no third way.

With the pride of the dragons, they usually chose the latter. If he said that he did not do it, he did not do it. If he insisted that he did it, he must have done it. If he wanted to fight, he could fight.

However, this style of doing things was despised by the current Dragon Emperor. Kang De held great power, so no one was willing to easily fight a powerful enemy who could create a forbidden spell. The dragons were the same.

He took a deep breath, “The dragon race is the eldest son of the Saint of Creation. They’re a chosen race and definitely won’t be pawns of a schemer. The enemy who schemed all of this is not only declaring war on Goethe, but he’s also attracted the anger of the dragon race. Dragon Island will become his nightmare. Destroy his body, burn his soul, and destroy everything he schemes.”

Tina sneered. “Then, who is he?”

They had to investigate tonight’s attack thoroughly and take revenge. However, the first thing they had to figure out was the identity of the attacker before they had the chance to find out who the mastermind was.

No matter how ruthless Santos said it, it was useless if he could not find the mastermind.

The Chief Marketing Officer said coldly, “We’ll know. The dragons have their own ways. Please give us a copy of the remaining ashes and residue of that attacker.”

The attacker first used the Dragon Bloodline Activation Scroll, drank the dragon blood magic medicine, and used some secret technique to burn his life. In the end, it turned into this unstoppable attack. After just one strike, his soul and life were burned clean, leaving only residue on the ground. His corpse was destroyed, and there was no evidence.

However, that was destroying evidence to mortals.

...

The Dragon Island Defense Company, which had complete business details and valued autonomous intellectual property, corporate interests, and market order, could recognize it even if it turned to dust!

One had to know that among the two products of the Dragon Defense Company, one was a dragon mercenary, and the other was dragon remains. Among them, the sale of dragon bones that Santos had mentioned earlier was only a portion.

The other large portion was processed products that the dragons had their own intellectual property. For example, the dragon blood potion and dragon transformation scroll used by the assassin tonight were among them.

There was no need to mention the other enchanted equipment and divine weapons.

In fact, the company had been negotiating with the dwarves recently to throw a portion of the middle and low-end products to these shorties to make. After making them, they would put up a plaque and push them out as products for the defense of the dragons.

As for the contract fee, it was naturally generous. However, after these shorties took the money, they turned around and wanted to buy the Dragon Blood Wood Essence Brew. Although the Dragon Blood Wood Essence Brew was brewed by halflings, the most important raw material, the Dragon Blood Wood, was produced in the Dragon Blood Wood Forest of Dragon Island. The price of the raw materials was also expensive. Although those halflings also received a lot of remuneration, they still worked, because they had to spend a huge sum every year to hire mercenaries from Dragon Island…

At this moment, the Dragon Island Defense Company was operating and interconnected. The system was strict and the procedures were complete. In terms of dragon products, it undoubtedly monopolized the market. What did such a company hate the most?

Of course, when the company monopolized the market and maintained free trade, a small group of scum inside privately sold homemade products below the market price for their small benefits.

Such blood products made by internal members of the Dragon Clan from the products they produced were clearly illegal. Those who had not been quarantined and were irresponsible to consumers and affected the reputation of the company’s brand and disturbed the normal market order were naturally cut off from the entire country.

In order to fight this unorthodox wind, the Dragon Emperor traced the source and completed the census of the entire race 20 years ago. He brought his lackeys, held the source book, and called the dragon flute. He flew into the sky and entered the ground to find them one by one. Be it in the deep mountains and forests, the deep sea ditch, or the volcano, be it high or asleep, they were all up. They were recorded, issued IDs, extracted blood, and recorded soul fluctuations.

If a dragon protested that he, the Dragon Emperor, was too controlling, the Dragon Emperor would face him with his old fists and easily beat him up. His iron fist was successful in all aspects, beating the unruly dragons until they were defeated and no one dared to disobey.

The results were brilliant. With this household registration system in hand, as long as illegal blood products produced by small workshops were discovered on the market in the future, the market supervision team of the Dragon Clan Defense Company would hear the news.

Even if he drank it, it did not matter. He could pull off his hair and scrape some flesh and blood back and analyze which dragon this unique magic fluctuation belonged to. Then, the evil eradication team would come out in full strength and capture this evil dragon who destroyed the interests of the company and disturbed the order of the market. They would beat him up and hang him in the fire copper room.

The joints here were all top secret within the defense of the dragons. Even Kang De could not tell him in detail, so Santos only roughly explained that the dragons had their own secret techniques.

He was 90% sure that he could extract the dragon factor from the ashes and trace back to which dragon this dragon blood medicine belonged to. Was it a product officially sold by the dragon race’s defense or an illegal product of the small workshop?

If it was the former, it would be too easy to deal with. If he followed the sales chain, he did not have to worry about not being able to find the person. If it was the latter, it was not difficult. As long as it was a dragon on record, he could capture and beat him up to extract a confession.

Not only was it stupid to be enemies with the dragons, but it was simply stupid.

Santos sneered to himself.

Even if he had calculated everything and planned such a conspiracy, thinking that if he ordered the death warriors to burn their lives and turn to ashes, the dragons would never be able to find any clues… It was really too stupid.

Using personal intelligence, scheming, and viciousness to fight a tightly organized and well-organized commercial company was simply stupid and courting death.

The Grand Duke and Tina both looked at Kang De. He nodded and said, “Give it to him.”

To the Goethe people, this assassin simply appeared out of nowhere. Then, he transformed into a dragon and fought to the death, turning to ashes. Even if they investigated, they had no clue.

Only Kang De was the first to see him transform into a shadow and come. This power characteristic was probably the only clue. If the other party was still alive, Kang De could still use the Fire Thief to extract and read his memories, but he was already dead… The dragons said that there was a way, so he might as well let them try.

In his opinion, the possibility of the dragon race being the mastermind was about 40%. In other words, 60% of the time, they were completely innocent.

However, they were all innocent and were no longer important.

Whether he was innocent or not, politics did not care about this at all.

Politics depended on benefits.

The assassin fought to the death and seriously injured Horus. Who benefited the most on the surface?

Dragons.

This was because although Horus was seriously injured, he, Kang De, was unharmed. He still had the ability to launch a forbidden curse attack that shocked the various countries. The deterrence sword hanging above the continent was still sharp.

Only the dragons were more afraid of Horus’s speed which exceeded Mach 2 and his powerful dominance over the sky than the forbidden curse. The reason why the powerful Dragon Defense Company pinched their noses and talked about cooperation was precisely because the alchemical weapon that was far faster than the dragon in this battle report was too powerful. If they fought head-on, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, they would talk first.

Now, the greatest fear of the dragons was their unpredictable injuries.

Under such circumstances, it was not impossible for the dragons to tear up the agreement they had previously finalized and raise even harsher conditions again, or use force to deter them…

After all, things in this world still had to be spoken with fists.

Kang De said, “Mr. Envoy.”

“I’m here.”

He looked at the dragon envoy opposite him with a calm expression and an indifferent tone.

“Our agreement will be carried out as usual. I’ll quietly wait for your company’s dragon cavalry battle group to shock the world.”
