Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

189 Statue of the Great Tyrant

Kang De blinked before understanding Leona’s words.

—In other words, I have the Great Tyrant Halo that can make the green-skinned learn to think?

‘But why me?’

How did an Earthling like him become a green-skinned tyrant?

!!

He was puzzled, “That’s impossible, right? They never saw me when they explored the oil well and built the motorcycle by hand. At most, they only confirmed my situation through the Autobot. Is that possible?”

Leona rolled her beautiful eyes. “Isn’t the magical ability of the green-skinned you mentioned kind of ridiculous?”

“…”

That was right.

Kang De shook his head and did not dwell on this question for the time being. After all, this matter did not make sense. No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of the correct outcome. Looking at those green-skinned people, he probably could not ask for any useful information. It was useless to know the answer to the current situation of being trapped in the lone city.

He casually asked, “Have they been arranged?”

“Yes, yes, it’s all arranged. I know what the orc likes to eat. I’ve already asked the kitchen to make it. Your car has also built a temporary shed, but it can’t get much of the metal it likes to eat. I don’t know what the so-called gasoline is. Think of a way yourself. Oh right, and…”

At this point, Leona paused with a complicated expression and hesitated for a long time.

Then, he barely said, “Since these orcs can help and are your friends, it doesn’t matter if you live here. I’ll try my best to provide accommodation, food, and other necessities, but at the same time, you have to restrain and comfort them. I have a bottom line. Some things can’t be tolerated…”

Kang De’s expression turned serious as he said in a low voice, “Do they have bad habits? Will they casually attack humans? Or even eat people?”

“That’s not the case. For some reason, although the green-skinned look barbaric and primitive, even if they’re ruthless, they won’t eat people. If you ask them, they can’t give any reason. They just don’t want to eat.”

Leona sighed, “As for their bad habits, there are. Moreover, I definitely can’t tolerate them. Listen, Kang De, it’s completely fine for them to live here, but as the master of this place, I have the right to ask them not to do anything. That kind of thing is definitely impossible. If they really can’t help it and insist on doing it, I’m sorry, but I can only ask them to leave. There’s no room for compromise.”

Ding.

Countless indescribable comics appeared in Kang De’s mind.

His expression became strange, then he felt disgusted. He frowned and said, “Could it be…”

“That’s right.”

Leona sighed. “Do you know the three things the green-skinned love to do?”

—Fight, find someone to fight, and f*ck?

Leona was Leona. She was extremely knowledgeable in this aspect. Even when talking about this topic, her expression did not change. “Fight, poop, and brag.”

“You should have seen the first and third.”

“As for the second thing… they like to poop and build feces piles. They even use feces to build houses. When I checked the ancient books, I saw that in the early years, the various races explored the land and did not communicate diplomatically. They attacked each other. That was the most barbaric and violent era on the continent. Every time the orcs conquered a settlement, other than looting everything they were interested in, they would also leave a huge feces pile locally… They liked this, especially when pooping in the enemy’s territory. It would make them extremely happy.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking.” Kang De threw away the knife and fork in his hand and pulled down the napkin to cover the bowl of mashed potatoes. “I’m still eating.”

Leona snorted. “You insisted on asking. Moreover, if I don’t tell you and you know what to do, I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat here in the future if you’re not careful.”

Kang De imagined that scene for a moment and no longer had any thoughts about the faction mission “Invitation from the northern orcs”.

The architectural style of this race was so interesting. With their admiration for him, a “great tyrant”, when he arrived in the north, he would probably be arranged to live in a towering palace made of feces.

He shivered. “They’re all like this? Can’t they be changed?”

Although he had clearly rejected Nick’s suggestion, Kang De was still very concerned about the ability of the green-skinned to make motorcycles by hand. He even had many thoughts and wanted to see how far these green-skinned could go.

However, it was impossible to use the ethereal prophetic identity of the Great Tyrant to incite and deceive the orcs.

After all, he had always believed in the principle of a fair exchange. Even the Autobot he had created had asked for the other party’s opinion after he gained intelligence and explained the danger of this trip. After agreeing, they set off together.

Therefore, along the way, he had been thinking about what price was enough for him to calmly suggest that the green-skinned people join his team. There was no need to think about the thousands of green-skinned armies in the tribe, but these dozens of green-skinned people were still easier to deal with.

However, if they had such a vice…

“This should be possible.”

Leona’s voice was like the sound of nature, “Those roughest and most barbaric orcs are fighting, pooping, and bragging all day. They even live in houses built with feces. The smell on their bodies can be imagined. Therefore, when the various races’ armies fight the green-skinned, they usually lose more than win. The other party can indeed fight and is not afraid of death. This is one reason, but the other reason is the smell on their bodies… Only the most determined warriors or certain races who don’t care about that at all can unleash their full strength.”

“Even the lowest vampire would rather starve to death than suck the blood of the green-skinned.”

“But there are always exceptions.”

“For example, I’ve told you before that the Demonic Moon Clan is the most business-minded tribe among the green-skinned. They even do business on the entire continent. If they smell, who’s willing to do business with them? They’ll faint before they can approach… Therefore, this tribe slowly began to pay attention to hygiene. We don’t know the internal situation, but at the very least, the merchants they sent out and the members of the Chamber of Commerce offices everywhere are not only decent and clean, but they also’re diligent in bathing and even use incense and perfume. In the end, the charm of money can change everything.”

She stretched out her hand and circled her thumb and index finger, forming the shape of a gold coin. She narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“Do you understand?”

Her tone was relaxed, “There are two things in this world that can easily and gently change the nature of living beings. One is money, and the other is faith. The latter is stronger than the former because it’s a transaction without capital.”

“Then, even money can change the habits of the green-skinned, let alone faith. Kang De, since these orcs admire you so much, they must be willing to make some changes for you. Or to put it another way, perhaps you can change them.”

At this point, the teasing and disgust on the girl’s face disappeared.

Instead, she was more serious.

Kang De looked thoughtful. “So, you’re not actually talking about the feces pile? What do you mean by changing?”

Leona sat in the chair and tilted her head to look at him with a smile. “No, it’s about the feces pile. At least for now. Now that the city is besieged by the elves, we’re all trapped here. The only thing the Great Tyrant can do now is to stop these dozens of orcs from wiping the feces everywhere.”

Kang De stopped in midair and glared at her.

Leona smiled mischievously and waved him away. “Stop eating and go take a look at them.”

Kang De put down the bread and shrugged helplessly. “I feel that you’re very concerned about these green-skinned.”

“Idiot, I’m thinking for you.”

Leona rolled her eyes and said, “You must be unwilling to run to the north now to trick the orcs to go south to fight the elves and help Goethe. However, now is and in the future. It’s rare to have such an identity, so we naturally have to seize it. This is very useful. After all, it’s a race. It’s at least a large tribe.”

“Unconvinced? Think about it. Although you’re Tina’s husband, you’re a Cathayan after all. You have no foundation and are not enough to convince the Goethe people. How many people will be unconvinced that a foreigner married the most beautiful pearl of Goethe? Goethe is still very xenophobic in such matters. They’ll definitely examine you and even bully you—but if you can call thousands of orcs south in minutes, that’s a different matter.”

Kang De narrowed his eyes and said, “That’s all?”

The girl raised her eyebrows and said, “What else?”

He stood up and stretched. “I keep feeling that you have other thoughts… However, forget it. You can’t be a green-skinned woman in human skin, right?”

Leona shook her head and said smugly, “If the green-skinned women were as beautiful as me, they wouldn’t have ended up like this. They hide in the north and play with feces, disliked by every race.”

“Let’s go.” Kang De picked up his coat and walked towards the door.

“Oh, right, Kang De.”

Leona called after him.

Kang De turned around. “What’s wrong?”

The girl turned around and lay on the back of the chair. She looked at him and said seriously, “Shitting is a green-skinned hobby. They like to pile feces, build houses with feces, and pile some strange things with feces. Even the pellets used by the simple catapults are round and compacted feces balls. They’re even more terrifying than rocks.”

“Therefore, I have to remind you of two things.”

“Firstly, you might obtain the endless reverence and loyalty of the green-skinned, but it’s best to let them have a fixed and solemn way of paying respects. Of course, if you like to be used by others to make statues of you, that’s a different story…”

When Kang De heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

“Secondly, the green-skinned like to play with feces because they interact with it every day. As a friend, I hope you can keep your heart and not be led astray by them and develop some bad hobbies…”

At this point, the girl could not help but laugh.

“You! Worry! Too! Much!”

Kang De shouted righteously, “I, Kang De, am… f*ck, forget it.”

Then, he pushed open the door and left.

Leona looked at the closed door and smiled.

“Of course, I have other thoughts… but what’s the difference? If a person like you wants the green-skinned to work for you, you have to do something for them first, right?”

She muttered to herself in a low voice, “The elves are the overlords of the world. Humans gradually prosper, and the dwarves explore the principles of all things… The various races of the continent all walk from scattered to united, from small to powerful. This is because there are naturally heroes in the race who appear at the right time and open up the path with their clansmen, other than the orcs.”

“Kang De, they might want to do it another way… They might have been waiting for you.”

“I didn’t expect this ridiculous legend to really be like this.”

Leona’s eyes drifted for a moment as she thought of the vast north, the barren land, the worst environment, and the place where green-skinned people lived. That was a desolate area that even extremely adaptable humans were unwilling to go deep into. It was barren and dangerous. Only green-skinned people with strong vitality could live optimistically there.

However, they were only optimistic.

This race had no hope.

She saw such emotions in the eyes of the merchants and mercenaries who had gone south. These green-skinned people who had left their homes and seen the world had not found what they wanted in the end. They were helpless and powerless, thinking about why this was happening, but they did not know what the problem was. They wanted to do something, but they were helpless.

Leona sighed softly.

“As a part of humanity, I feel that it’s best for the orcs to hide in the most barren place in the north for thousands of years and fend for themselves. However, as another part of humanity, I pity the inexplicable suffering they encountered. After all, I’ve seen the records of the large library.”

“A long time ago, the orcs did not live in that desolate place. Their home was once fertile and beautiful, but now it’s human territory. The scholars recorded this past fairly in history, but the people of the world never knew. However, the orcs had long completely forgotten the hatred of having their home taken away. They lived carefreely and optimistically every day in the most barren and dangerous land…”

She muttered, “As a descendant, I’m not qualified to condemn the actions of my ancestors in that dark and barbaric era. I don’t want the orcs to remember the hatred and pay with their blood. I only hope that they can live better, but don’t invade humans instead. Kang De, is this selfishness too difficult?”

When humans had morals, all kinds of dilemmas and worries arose.

“But I can’t stop you. If the prophecy is true, no one can stop a race from grabbing hope. I only hope that you, Kang De, can guide them well and make things a happy outcome.”

Leona sighed again. “However, what’s the use of saying this? I can’t do anything…”

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside. The girl looked up. Kang De had returned. He pushed the door open and entered. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

“Hey! What are you doing?”

Leona struggled.

“I forgot just now—you have to go with me!” Kang De pulled her out, “Since you know the green-skinned so well and want to see me make a fool of myself so much, let’s go together! If the green-skinned dare to use feces to make statues for me, I’ll definitely let them make another one for you and place it beside mine!”
