Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 613: 613
 

Seeing

When the violent shock, the sound of sliding, and the inertia of the deceleration completely disappeared, the slightly dim cabin lit up.

It was like the silence after a commotion, like the breeze after a storm, like the end of a lively stage play. The passengers in the cabin remained in a stiff position. They did not even realize that everything was over. But soon, a calm voice sounded from the cabin.

I am Kant.

The Star Bridge plan was a success.

Outside the porthole was a flat grassland, and in the distance was a faint black undulating mountain.

It was not a dream, but a scenery called Goethe on the other side of the Broken Islands.

They had crossed thousands of miles in just an hour, from the perilous island to the peaceful continent. The marvelous, magnificent, and shocking huge aircraft was like a giant bird in ancient mythology, carrying the survivors from the desperate situation of the flood and the collapse of the world to the distant oasis.

This was indeed not an illusion.

His peaceful life was broken. Man-eating monsters were everywhere. He was forced to leave his peaceful little nest and was saved by strange soldiers and the ‘enemy’ Kant.

They were transported by hot air balloons to the steel fortress that was bombarded with fire. They were escorted by the guards to the horse racing field that had been converted into an airport. Then, they soared into the sky in the belly of a huge bird and jumped into the endless sea of clouds.

There were no gods there, only a dark blue sky.

A moment later, sobbing sounds could be heard in the cabin.

For some reason, she just wanted to cry.

” Really?” Lysalyn grabbed Shirley’s arm tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes.” Is that true?” Shirley, are we dreaming? We flew into the sky and landed on land. The sky wasn’t cold at all and there was delicious food. We used an hour to get from the Broken Islands to the Far Port…”

“It’s true. I’m not dreaming.” Shirley glared at her.” Because my brain is reminding me that the violent oppression of the hands of a village girl who pulled vegetables out of the soil in her childhood is causing my slender arm to suffer a large-scale rupture of the capillaries. Hand!”

” Ahhh

Lysalyn hurriedly let go and carefully rubbed Shirley’s arm. The gray-haired girl stared out of the window in a daze. Lights were shining in the distance, and there were people running. There were many people.

She only took a glance before she retracted her gaze.

She looked around at the table and chairs beneath her, the wings behind the window, and the crystal board that had lit up for a short while before her, with inexplicable words, sounds, and images jumping out.

The small window bars above her head could shoot out warm and cold currents.

These things…

Shirley, what are you thinking about?”

The chestnut-haired girl asked curiously.

“This aircraft…” Shirley muttered,” Was it really created by the wisdom of a single person?”

Her voice was too muffled. At the same time, the cries and prayers in the rear cabin became louder and louder. As a result, Lysalyn could not hear her friend’s words clearly.

” It’s nothing.” The gray-haired girl came back to her senses and shook her head gently.” It’s nothing.”

” Attention, passengers. The cabin door is about to open. Please line up when you disembark. Do not fight and create a ruckus. His Highness Kant has instructed the authorities of Distant Harbor to prepare for your next arrangements and whereabouts. You may be feeling confused and uneasy, or you may have your own ideas, but before that, please enjoy a delicious dinner under the warm hospitality of Distant Harbor and relieve your fear and fatigue.”

“Congratulations, everyone. You are safe now.” The voice that called himself Horus sounded coldly.

The outer ladder moved over and was ready to be fixed.

“Please disembark in groups according to the instructions!” The elven soldier who was the flight attendant shouted. His Highness Kant has ordered all passengers from the Broken Islands to stay where they are for the time being. Those who are gloriously injured and war heroes will go first!”

“Crew of Evergreen Song, rise! Get ready to get off the plane!”

“Floating Light Flying Shadow crew, stand up! Get ready to get off the plane!”

“Ashen Wrath!”

“Snowpeak!”

“Knight Astorf!”

The wounded in the business class section were helped up, and the warriors in the economy section followed suit. The two girls who were sitting in their seats turned around and saw that the wounded and the ‘war heroes’ were all blushing. Even the elven soldiers who had always been indifferent and indifferent to the surrounding had their cold masks shattered. They were at a loss, and their bodies were even trembling with excitement.

The sound of the heavy cabin door sliding to the side could be heard. The outside world was connected to the cabin, and the wind surged in. Then, cheers and applause like a tsunami poured into the cabin.

The volunteer team, the spellcaster team, the patrol team, the medical team, the logistics team, and a few other teams that had gathered here all came to the side of the passenger plane and faced the hatch.

They clapped and cheered enthusiastically.

There was no need for any rehearsal or applause. Some emotions in this world were common.

After the passenger plane named ” Homecoming ” landed safely, the hatch opened, and the steel birds flying in the sky finally connected with the mortal world. At this moment, all the preparations, busyness, mobilization, and expectations were realized. The people inside and outside the cabin had the same thought.

Together, they had accomplished something amazing.

This was perhaps the first time in their lives that they felt such a sense of accomplishment.

Because before this, legends and epics only belonged to legendary kings and demigod-like heroes.

The people from the Broken Islands who were still on the plane looked at the crowd gathered outside through the porthole. They saw everyone cheering and laughing from the bottom of their hearts, and an inexplicable emotion rose in their hearts.

To have a good impression of a person, a city, or even a country, perhaps it only needed one look, one smile, and one moment.

“Guests, you may disembark now.”

After the soldiers of the joint fleet left the cabin, the passengers stood up in rows and walked out of the cabin door under the guidance and command. The wind from the outside world blew, and the airport was noisy. Facing the unfamiliar crowd, the foreign guests revealed a timid expression. Lysalyn subconsciously grabbed her companion’s hand.

She saw a huge carriage flashing with red and blue lights. The huge body of the war beast was quietly parked not far away, and its eyes lit up with awe. The priests carried the wounded into the cart that looked like a dining cart and pushed them to the huge carriage. The wounded seemed to be struggling shyly.

She saw a group of mages and gentlemen covered in dust and in a hurry running toward the left tail of the plane with instruments of all sizes in their hands. She could vaguely hear anxious shouts.

“Check the runway…”

“Pay attention to the landing point…Is there any tearing…”

” Prepare for plastic reinforcement…”

There was already a row of girls waiting at the bottom of the escalator. They looked up at him with a hint of restraint in their smiles, but they were full of kindness. On the other side of the bottom exit, there was a group of men standing.

” Good afternoon, two beautiful ladies.”

After they carefully walked down the stairs, a girl had already come briskly. She bowed to the two of them with a red armband on her left arm. Everyone waiting below was wearing this.

The girl’s hair was tied up in a refreshing bun, and she had a lively smile. There were a few freckles on her face, and her cheeks seemed to have been smeared with a little pearl powder. She looked beautiful and moving.

” You can call me Irina. I’m a glorious volunteer of the Far Harbor. I’m responsible for arranging your accommodation in the temporary camp for the next few days. Under the orders of His Highness Kant, the Far Harbor authorities will provide you with basic food and clothing for free for the next seven days. If you have any requests, please let me know.”

“Only reasonable requests will be satisfied.”

The two professors looked at each other before they reacted and nodded.

The chestnut-haired girl had a lively temperament. She was born in a farming family and was naturally like this. You can call me Lysa. As for this one, you can call her Xue Lili! I’ll tell you in advance that she’s a weirdo, but she’s not bad. She just knows how to use her terrible personality and tone to hurt people!”

“..”

The grey-haired girl glared at her companion before nodding at him.” Shirley Cooper, former professor of theoretical magic at Sky College. She is a wise man who has strict self-discipline and uses her outstanding sense of humor to resist this cruel and absurd world. As you can see, the person beside me occasionally reveals her sad, ugly, jealous nature, but she’s not bad. She’s just a little stupid. She doesn’t have a good figure but wants to marry…”

“-now, that’s enough!”

Lysalyn interrupted him with bared fangs and brandished claws.

“.. Ahahaha.”

Irina’s smile became a little subtle.” Let’s go then,” she said enthusiastically.

Lysalyn looked around. These girls who called themselves ” volunteers ” were welcoming the passengers in batches. She counted clearly. One volunteer was responsible for twelve people, but there were only her and Xue Lili.

” Don’t worry, the two of you are different. I was informed in advance that because of my good performance in the interview, I will be responsible for entertaining the two famous scholars who will be working for His Highness Kant. Hehe, I’ve earned a lot.”

She pointed into the distance.” We can still take a car. Sob, sob. A car that can run fast without being pulled by cows and horses. It’s over there. Let’s go!”

Lizaryn and Shirley were in a state of complete confusion as they were unfamiliar with the place. They looked at each other and followed the cute volunteer lady across the long track.

This place had just been built, and everything was still new. Shouts came from afar, and everyone was very busy. They were busy evacuating the passengers and checking the roads. There were familiar and unfamiliar scenery everywhere. The familiar ones were people, and the unfamiliar ones were alchemy equipment. Legend had it that the unparalleled alchemy attainments of the Skyquaking Dragon were displayed in this so-called airport. There were more than ten cars of different sizes and functions here.

“Oh, right!”

Irina, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and raised a finger.” There’s something I need to explain to you!” she emphasized.

“What?” Lysalyn laughed.

She really liked this volunteer’s personality.

Under the glow of the setting sun and the nearby lights, this lively and clean girl who didn’t look like she came from a high family spoke with a serious expression and a solemn tone.

” I’m not a maid. I’m a volunteer. I have the same dignity, personality, and soul as the two of you. This is also what His Highness Kant said. He wanted us to emphasize to the passengers immediately.”

Based on the rich teaching experience of the two professors, this girl was obviously memorizing a paragraph of text, so much so that she herself did not quite understand the meaning of this paragraph.

But she was still seriously reciting.

” I am a volunteer. I am willing to help those who need help to the best of my ability. I will give my kindness and receive satisfaction from my heart, peace of conscience, and the praise of the gods. I will also defend my dignity and not allow the noble Sacred Line to be humiliated by narrow-minded prejudice. I swear that I will treat those I help kindly and equally. I will not belittle or flatter them. His Highness Kant will also use his fire and sword to ensure that I will be treated equally. This agreement is reached until everyone treats me kindly. This is the world we want.”

After all, she wasn’t very familiar with reciting. She spoke quickly and was a little nervous. After she finished reciting, she heaved a sigh of relief and subconsciously smiled. Then, she realized that the two beautiful ladies were staring at her without moving.

“How… What’s wrong?”

Irina revealed a mixture of uneasiness and nervousness.” Do you have any objections to these words?” she asked carefully. It’s best not to be like this, okay?”

“No, no…”

“I just think it’s good,” Lysalyn said softly. Very good.”

“.. Yes.” Irina smiled. She walked backward, gesturing for the two of them to follow her. Then, she said,” It’s a declaration that we have to memorize after being selected. I can’t say what’s good about it, but I think it’s great. We want a world where everyone treats each other kindly…”

She seemed to be imagining that world and revealed an envious expression.” How nice,” she said softly.

After a moment, Shirley, who had been silent all this while, said calmly,” Such naive delusions. This is something that even the gods can’t do. The people of Aurora think too simply. Is he soaking in honey? Or do you feel that your life is too boring and want to do something challenging?”

“How can you say that?”Irina looked displeased.

“Is there anything wrong with what I said?” Shirley asked calmly.

Irina thought for a moment. She was not sharp-tongued enough, nor was she eloquent enough, but she still said angrily,”That’s right…” I think you’re mocking His Highness Kant! You can’t do this! Because you were saved by His Highness Kant! Why would I laugh at him?”

Shirley shook her head and said,” It’s precisely because Kant saved me that I care about his matters and express my opinion. And this isn’t an attack or mockery directed at Kant. With your intelligence, you might not understand that this world is selfish, evil, stupid, and disgusting.”

She sneered and looked to the other side.” The cities and countries that you and I live in are no different from the forests ten miles away. If there are a hundred people in this world and there are eighty grains in total, each person will not get a single grain. The king and the nobles will take sixty grains and eat very well because there are only five of them.”

” The remaining ninety-five people will divide the remaining twenty grains. Some people can think of ways to grab enough to fill themselves, some can barely fill their stomachs, but some can’t, and some can’t.”

” Eighty percent of the evil deeds and negative emotions in this world, such as robbery, theft, deception, killing, greed, jealousy, selfishness, and hatred, are all because ninety-five people have to share a mere twenty grains. Someone has to be hungry, and someone has to find a way to fill their stomachs. They can only rob like wild beasts.”

” And the intelligence of intelligent creatures allowed them to think of a more effective method than force, so evil that is more disgusting than pure plunder appeared.”

” By the way, the remaining twenty percent came from the five people who were full and wanted more.”

Irina was stunned.

Shirley looked at the ordinary-looking girl with a hint of pity in her eyes.” See, this is the difference between you and me. You feel that life is difficult, that mortals work hard all their lives, and that they are born to suffer. You feel that there’s something wrong with this world, but you can’t say it. You can only be born and die in ignorance.”

” And I’m much smarter than you. My intelligence is naturally much higher than yours, so I understand better than you. Don’t be angry. I’m not showing off. I don’t even know if I should envy a stupid and confused guy like you because I’ve seen the nature of the world. This world is disgusting, distorted, and corrupted to the point of being nauseating. It’s full of greed and evil. The ones who hold power are immoral avaricious people instead of righteous kings and leaders. The entire world is chaotic and disorderly. I know where the problem lies. But there was nothing he could do.”

“I’m more pitiful than you.”

She didn’t stop. She walked to Irina’s side and continued walking forward. She said casually,” As long as there are only 80 grains of food in the world, and as long as a small number of people take away most of the food, the beautiful world that Your Highness Kant wants to build will never come true. Not only will it not come true, but in the process of trying to realize it, it will be torn into pieces by all the disgusting scum and scum in the world.”

” Because he actually dared to steal fifty-five grains from the mouths of these five people.”

“Do you know how the heroes and saints you’ve heard and seen died? Some of them were greedy people who used lies and conspiracies to whitewash themselves. They were one of the five people. The other part was the fools who really wanted to take back the fifty-five grains for the ninety-five people. Now, do you know how they died?”

As she said this, she let out a soft sigh.

Lysalyn was at a loss. She looked at her friend’s back and then looked at the little girl Irina who did not know what to do. I knew it. You…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Irina turned around and jogged two steps, catching up to Shirley and blocking her way.

The words spoken by this scholar from the Sky Academy of the Broken Islands were not something that a mere fisherman girl from Distant Harbor could argue with. This had nothing to do with equality, but a crushing difference in knowledge and experience. However, this young girl who had just joined the volunteer team today still used her simple wisdom to make a rhetorical retort.

” What?” She panted in excitement.” Before today, do you believe that His Highness Kant could use a very, very large alchemical aircraft to transport hundreds of people from the Broken Islands to the Far Harbor in an hour?”

Shirley was stunned for a moment. She shook her head honestly.” I do have instinctive suspicions.”

Irina said loudly,” And before that, His Highness Kant defeated the elves and ended the war by himself. He opened the valley gate in the sky, sending out fragrant wheat waves. He made a huge warship made of steel float on the sea. We wouldn’t have believed it if we were told these things a few months ago, but we’ve all seen it!”

” I don’t understand what you’re talking about, and I don’t know if you’re right. But I just feel that if His Highness Kant decides to do something, he can definitely do it!”

“It’s that simple!”

Shirley stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at the agitated young lady. She was uneducated, childish, and foolish. She was a typical ordinary person. Ever since she was young, she had always been resistant to conversing with such people. This was because after three sentences, she would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, when the girl in front of him said these words seriously, there was no annoying ignorance on her face.

He was completely different from the ignorant, numb, and meek fools he had seen in the past who felt that they were not worthy of eating a grain of rice.

Her face was filled with another kind of wonderful and beautiful emotion.

Although it was still a tender sprout.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled.

“Good, looks like I have another reason to stay here.”

“Let me take a look too,” said the girl.
