Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds - Chapter 400
400 Trap
“Believe me.”
His iron son’s square steel face revealed sincerity and reliability.
“…”
Generally speaking, when a person proposed an exchange condition to you and said the words “you believe me” righteously, it was most likely untrustworthy.
—My son has been a little strange recently.
Kang De looked at Horus a few times and said, “You want me to create you a wife?”
Horus’s electronic eyes constricted, and his body trembled in fear, emitting a cracking sound. He did not seem to have expected Kang De to say such a thing. He imagined that situation slightly, and his entire mechanical body shook. The processor was instantly overloaded, emitting an unknown electronic sound.
Then, it said in a wavering tone, “No! Father, why do you think so?”
When Kang De saw his iron son like this, he was immediately excited. He said sarcastically, “Sigh, my son has grown up and become sensible. If you have thoughts, you’ll be shy…”
However, he did not expect that in terms of sarcasm, his iron son’s growth speed was also extremely fast.
This unfilial son immediately entered a state and retorted, “No, Father, I don’t think so. A sensible son shouldn’t ask for a wife in front of Father. For this, I’m already prepared to remain single.”
…F*ck!
Kang De was furious in his heart, but he could not show it on his face. After all, he had lost if he was angry. He still smiled and said, “Filial piety and filial piety, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll conjure it for you first. You can nurture your relationship. We can talk about marriage later. There’s no delay, no delay…”
His iron son snorted, “Father, that’s easy to say. Can you do it?”
This was the truth.
Using the power of the Fire Thief to combine the elements of the white fog world to extract dead things, awaken intelligence, and create a mysterious and powerful mechanical lifeform like his iron son—he had only succeeded once.
After successfully creating Horus, had Kang De not tried?
No, it had happened many times.
At the thought of cars, he thought of the Transformers. According to the Two Flowers Law enchanted by the Fire Thief’s fantasy, Kang De had already tried countless times, but he had also failed countless times. He did not know how many times he had killed the cars on the streets around the district, but they had all failed in enchantment and became stupid.
He even took out some guns and swords and hung the portrait. He licked it for a while and enchanted it. He called his wife repeatedly, but his wife clearly did not acknowledge him. She did not acknowledge any of them and they all chose to die.
In the end, his previous guess was still correct.
The reason why Horus could be created that night was that the time, place, and people were right. It was also because his emotions were extremely strong that the mechanical soul could awaken and his steel body descended into the human world.
In short, he had to nurture his relationship.
However, with his iron son as a transportation and fighter, there was no need for Kang De to nurture his relationship with another car, especially now that Horus had even unlocked flight mode. No matter how good a car was, it could not compare to it. In other words, the prerequisite steps to activate and create a mechanical lifeform were very difficult to achieve.
If the car could not do it, should he try something else? Apart from the car, there were also weapons, such as guns, axes, and so on. Could this work?
—Of course not!
—D*mn, if I seriously take care of these weapons every day, hug them to sleep, and enchant them into beautiful girls with killing feelings—evil creature! Will it still be your turn?! That’s your mother!
Kang De thought for a moment and saw his iron son’s cold gaze. No matter what, being stubborn was necessary. He said indifferently, “It didn’t work in the past, but with Tacitus and the new crimson scroll, it’s not necessarily impossible… Let’s try. In any case, there’s no loss even if we fail, right?”
Although he was only talking nonsense, his iron son’s electronic eyes indeed constricted.
Kang De continued to pour a bucket of oil on it, “In any case, I have nothing to do now. Let’s go to the white fog world. Pick a pleasing wife. After I understand her inside and out and modify her, I’ll carefully nurture my feelings and make her change into my shape. Then, you can have love…”
His iron son said coldly, “In other words, I also have the shape of a father?”
“…”
“…”
The father and son looked at each other and revealed subtle and terrifying cold expressions.
He did not speak for a long time.
Then, Kang De said, “…I have to think about such disgusting words in the future.”
His iron son did not continue arguing. “I was wrong…”
The father and son’s argument came to an end. Kang De said, “In short, what do you want me to do?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet. We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
“…You’d better think about it quickly and before the fight. Otherwise, after the fake competition, if you raise another request that puts me in a difficult position, I might have to go back on my word.”
“When will you fight?”
“I don’t know, but considering that delaying an order for a day will be affected, the sooner the better on Dragon Island. I’ll ask Santos later.”
“Alright, let me think. It should be in the past two days.”
After chatting for a while, Kang De prepared to leave. Before he left, he said warily, “You’re not plotting anything, right?”
His iron son said innocently, “What conspiracy? I’m your son. How can I harm my father?”
“…Hmph, I hope so.”
Kang De reached out and pointed at Horus. “Otherwise, I’ll really find you an iron woman to treat you.”
With that, he left.
Horus watched his father leave. The purple e-cigarette showed signs of turning red. The video file he had filmed in the past few days scrolled through the data processing center. His father’s threat was completely fine.
This was because the destruction mechanism between them had already been established.
After a while, the sensor showed that his father had indeed left and was not eavesdropping or peeking. Then Horus said, “You can come out now.”
From behind the flower bed on the other side, the gorilla’s head poked out.
The gorilla crept over. Her animal instincts made her sense something.
The gorilla looked at the Transformer in front of her. No, that was the love mentor, the emotional master who had given precious suggestions. Her tone was a little timid and shaken, “What… what do you want Kang De to do?”
Horus turned and smiled. His large steel face was as reliable as ever. “What do you think?”
The gorilla’s tone was a little unnatural, “…Don’t tell me you want Kang De to strip naked and crawl into my bed?”
“It’s not impossible,” his iron son said. “If you don’t do it, you can only let Father do it.”
The gorilla’s face was red and she stammered, “I… of course, I won’t do it! It’s too strange!”
“How is it strange? Haven’t you slept with Father before?”
“Yes, but it’s different from this!” The gorilla panted for a while and said angrily, “But taking off my clothes and sleeping together is simply as strange as shaving all my fur! It’s so ugly. I don’t want it!”
This was the reason why Horus’s first romantic suggestion had failed.
Originally, he had tried to figure out his father’s mentality. According to the routine of many readings, drawings, and animations, as long as the gorilla took off her clothes and crawled into Kang De’s bed at night, even if he could not open the door that night, their relationship would still advance by leaps and bounds. After all, they were new to each other.
However, the gorilla rejected.
Miss Gorilla Platinum, who had broken free from the seal in her gorilla state and returned to her human form, still had the memories of a beast, but she did not have the memories before she became a beast. In other words, she now maintained the strange worldview of the old and new fusing and even formed a strange state of shame and confusion. She was very difficult to deceive.
Therefore, he took the next best thing. Didn’t you treat clothes as fur? Then wear clothes. Using the man-killing set summarized by reading many pictures and my father’s collection preferences, to my father, that set of clothes was even more exciting than not wearing them. It wanted Kang De to bring it back to the white fog world this morning. Reorganizing the equipment and ammunition was only an excuse. Its true goal was to take the opportunity to get some clothes for the gorilla.
“Is that okay now?”
It said in the tone of an emotional veteran and an experienced person, “Because you and Father are too familiar with each other, you won’t have any intimate thoughts. This is a sad thick barrier, but it can be opened. However, you need to take the first step and make Father not treat you as a gorilla…”
It said in the tone of an emotional veteran and an experienced person, “Because you and Father are too familiar with each other, you won’t have any intimate thoughts. This is a sad thick barrier, but it can be opened. However, you need to take the first step and make Father not treat you as a gorilla…”
Her face was red, but she listened carefully and slowly nodded.
However, he was still a little resistant.
She could not say why, but she felt that she did not want this to happen.
However, she did not know what to do. She could not figure it out. She did not understand much and did not understand why “love” was so complicated. Why could it not be as simple as on the island? She did not know why so many people wanted to snatch it from her, why Big Gold Hair was so greedy—no, those guys on the island were also greedy, but she could always occupy Kang De, who treated her the best. Why could he do it at that time? What should she do now?
“In short, let’s discuss and modify the details. Either tonight or tomorrow, we’ll complete this matter. After all, Princess Tina’s momentum is like a rainbow. You have to at least balance it out…”
His iron son said, “Otherwise, with the princess’s mobility, you might not have anything to do in a few days… Come, give these exercises a last-minute surprise today. You have to finish watching these animations. I’ll design another set of lines for you. At that time, you have to read according to this. It’s definitely effective. Believe me.”
“Oh… oh.”
The gorilla hesitated and said, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
At the same time.
In a heavily guarded warehouse under the Tedrell family’s name, the cold array condensed a cold aura and preserved the piled corpses of the dragon. There was still extremely high-quality magic power dissipating here. The powerful magic power in the dragon’s body was quickly leaking because they had been cut too scattered.
“Impressive.”
Santos looked at it for a long time, then stood up and covered his handkerchief with his nose.
Dragon Island had been in the mercenary business for many years and had lost a few times. The Dragon Blood Declaration had been quoted a few times. Every time a dragon died in battle, the defense of the dragon race basically had to deal with it seriously. They held staff meetings, summarized lessons, and improved the system. They reported after that and criticized themselves.
The death of every dragon mercenary in battle was a huge matter because this meant an astronomical amount of compensation, compensation, and insurance. It also meant a decrease in commercial value. Not only had the order failed, but it also meant that the value created by this dragon in the future was all gone. These were all real losses, and it made the dragon’s heart ache very much.
“D*mn, this guy can still fight for at least 800 years. What a huge loss.”
These words came from the current Dragon Emperor.
With such an entrepreneurial spirit, the entire company took every death of its employees extremely seriously. This time, it was only a small matter for Santos to redeem the dragon bones. The most important thing was to talk to Kang De and see if there was any way to resolve the danger of the Dragon Defense Company, but it was not only this huge matter.
There was another thing as important as this matter.
That was to investigate Kang De’s background, figure out his methods, and figure out how he did it.
The Dragon Defense Company was still a dragon. They could not be killed like a rooster in the sky.
Santos looked at the two dragon skeletons for a long time but could not understand what was going on.
“There’s really a shortage of information. Even if there are witnesses’ testimony, they look at the sky from the ground. It’s a high-altitude battle to begin with and can’t be seen clearly. The only thing we can be sure of is that the alchemical weapon is very fast, unexpectedly fast, like wind, lightning, and electricity.”
Santos touched his chin. “Could it be that he used ultra-high speed to push the sharp blade and cut open the dragon’s body?”
The two dragon bones died in this way. They were cut into a few large pieces and could not even piece together the appearance of a dragon. They were scattered everywhere. Fortunately, the Chief Marketing Officer was familiar with the business and knew the body structure of the dragon like the back of his hand. With a few glances, he knew where they were. There was enough, no more, no less.
However, the problem now was how.
The Dragon Lady, the Assassin Dragon called Lily, looked at it seriously for a moment. “It was cut by a sharp blade, and it’s unimaginably fast. It needs a solid material and exceeds the explosive speed I can understand. However, I don’t know how it was done. I lack information.”
“Moreover, there’s also…”
The Dragon Girl stretched out her slender jade finger and touched the scales of a dragon’s body. She twisted them, “There’s also fire… I smell the intensity of fire. Fire and swords killed the dragons.”
However, the analysis could only end here.
They did not have information or a complete intelligence logistics team. If they wanted to know the details further, other than asking Kang De, they had to see the abilities of the old dragons who were good at detecting vision and backtracking spells in the tactical logistics department of the Dragon Defense Company.
Santos said, “It seems that the thing that can tell us the answer should be the third dragon corpse. Therefore, Kang De doesn’t want to return it to us. It’s not broken by the forbidden curse, but it can expose his secret and weakness…”
Lily glanced at him. “You don’t want it anymore?”
“They clearly don’t want to give it to me and gave me enough sincerity and plan. I have nothing to say. Otherwise, we’ll have to fight. That’s the worst choice because the outcome is unpredictable and the losses are unpredictable. They’ll even be used by the elves and the Empire. The dragons can’t make such a loss.”
Santos’ eyes were bright as he slowly said, “If we don’t want the dragon corpse back, we can think of a way to fool them. Kang De’s methods are unknown and we can slowly get them out. We don’t understand the two, but we fought anxiously. It’s really a stupid choice. What the company has to do now is to salvage its reputation and stop the losses. Kang De is so sensible. We have to give him face. Otherwise, how can we open the door to do business?”
The Dragon Girl did not speak and began to write in her notebook again.
Santos said warily, “What are you writing?”
Lily said indifferently, “Inspiration.”
The Chief Marketing Officer immediately felt that something was wrong and immediately went forward to check. However, the girl only looked up, raised her delicate fist, and waved it in front of him.
Santos immediately cowered, then he felt that he could not be so timid. He said with a change in expression, “I say, what are you doing here? You provoked the Phoenix King and lied in front of Kang De. You even want to approach him—Lord, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, don’t do anything rash. This is a huge matter that concerns everyone’s money. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor takes it very seriously. If not for the fact that he has other things to do, he might have come directly this time…”
Lily glanced at him. “You think I’m useless and can’t do anything?”
“…I don’t dare. Just don’t cause trouble.”
“Then I’ll do something.”
Santos said uneasily, “…What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you just say that Kang De’s methods are unknown and can be slowly tricked out? In the future, if the Dragon Emperor asks, I’ll say that you asked me to trick him.”
Lily blinked her large innocent eyes and asked, “So, how and with what?”
…
