279 The Elves’ Conquest is the Sea of Stars?
This time, there was not even a dish. Tagris and Kang De just drank.
Tagris finished two glasses of sprite and began to laugh with his tongue out.
Carbonated drinks could make people drunk… but it could not be so fast. However, Kang De knew in his heart that it might not be carbonated or sugar that made the other party reveal a drunk state, but the other party’s heart that had been suppressed.
Tagris had already made it very clear just now.
He was here to say something drunk.
Then let him say it.
Kang De had a formal smile on his face as he listened to the other party’s nonsense and nodded in agreement.
This was a skill he had cultivated since he was young.
He was already very familiar with it.
This was because Kang De’s mother was a heroine from Shandong. Every time she returned to her grandmother’s house, there would be a banquet as usual. A group of silly girls roared and praised each other, just like the Caribbean Pirates Conference. Every time there was such a good day, Kang De would definitely be among them.
It was mainly to guard his mother against drinking too much and using the wine bottle as a pointer for her lesson.
Kang De’s father privately complained that Kang De was a limiter to his mother. When Mother Kang went to the racing arena to race, as long as Kang De sat beside her, he would definitely know what to do. When Mother Kang bragged at the wine table, as long as Kang De sat beside her, he would definitely not drink according to the berserker’s standards.
Therefore, Kang De was a little worried that his mother would go to Africa to see his father alone.
Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was that during the process of sitting at the wine table since he was young, Kang De had seen the various forms of his relatives and elders with alcohol surging in their veins led by his mother. No matter how amiable and enthusiastic they were usually, their temperaments changed drastically when they drank it and they all became strange.
He had always felt that most of the eloquence skills of the people of Shandong were used to persuade people to drink…
Moreover, he still did not understand how the seating rules were arranged… Oh, he knew the rules.
In short, with these experiences, he had a lot of experience dealing with drunkards.
Basically, he nodded with a smile and looked into the other party’s eyes. His expression was sincere and his eyes were sincere. No matter what the other party said, he would be right. No matter what the other party said, he would agree. However, what he thought in his heart was another matter. His mother often said that the wine table at home was small. These words were relatively exquisite.
Although the wine table at this moment did not belong to his family, it was not of any size.
Kang De poured himself a glass of Sprite. The two of them clinked and drank it in one gulp.
Tagris grinned foolishly, then burped heroically. After burping, he subconsciously covered his mouth. Then, he realized the current situation, so he let go and laughed as if he had done something very impressive.
He was clearly only drinking Sprite dryly, but he actually looked very happy and quickly entered a state. He patted Kang De’s shoulder and narrowed his eyes as he smiled, “You actually want to marry the Phoenix King? You’re quite bold!”
Kang De shrugged and smiled. “Can’t I?”
Tagris squeezed Kang De’s arm and blinked. His cheeks seemed to be red, or perhaps he was drunk. “Then you have to practice well, or you’ll have to stay below!”
With that, he laughed happily again, as if he had done something impressive.
He felt that this elf no longer cared about a concave persona… Oh, no, it was set up by the elves.
Kang De also smiled. “What a joke! I’m super brave!”
Tagris burped again and picked up a piece of Kang De’s clothes to pull it up. It was simply getting more and more ridiculous. “Come, let me…”
At this moment, a hand slashed from the side and grabbed Tagris’ wrist, blocking this escape. The elves and the gorilla looked at each other and did not move.
In the next moment, Kang De seemed to feel the ground sink slightly.
Looking at Tagris and the gorilla’s deadlocked hands, he calmly pressed the wrists on both sides and separated them. Tsk, so this was what his martial strength was for.
The gorilla hugged Kang De protectively and glared at him. “I’m the only one who can see Kang De!”
Tagris was drunk and clearly a little unrestrained. He slapped the table and said, “What do you mean only you can see? What’s up with the Princess of Goethe? Who’s that short and small fellow?”
From the island onwards, the hatred towards Tina had increased very steadily. She had been treated as a lifelong enemy by the gorilla. Even after transforming into her human form, she had never let down her guard. At this moment, after being exposed by Tagris, she was so angry that she cried out.
However, the gorilla still used her wild beast intuition to distinguish between enemies and allies.
Therefore, she snorted, “That’s our own business. It has nothing to do with a pipsqueak like you?”
Tagris looked up at the sky and laughed, saying proudly, “Your matter? It has nothing to do with me? Believe it or not, I’ll say something and see how you resolve it!”
How could the gorilla be willing to weaken its momentum? “Tell me! If you don’t tell me, you’ll be instant noodles!”
The elf said angrily, “Just you wait. After I return to the country, I’ll…”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Kang De hurriedly shouted for it to stop and could not say anything else. Some things were one thing to pretend to be confused. Everyone just had to have a tacit understanding, but if he said it, things would become very troublesome.
He hurriedly filled the elf’s cup. “Come, come, come…”
Unexpectedly, Tagris stared at him and slowly pouted. He cried again.
Quickly, quickly, quickly.
It began. Another drunkard began.
Kang De took out a tissue from his pocket and shook it open. He wiped the other party’s face twice as smoothly as flowing water. Then, he assumed a posture to argue with him—then reacted.
D*mn, this was a wine table in another world.
He shook his head and continued to wipe it. “Why are you crying again?”
The elf said loudly, “I can cry or laugh if I want. Why? Do you want to control me too?”
Kang De said helplessly, “There has to be a reason for crying, right?”
“Of course!” Tagris said sadly. “It wasn’t easy for me to find someone to drink and talk to me, but they’re not afraid of me or me. They’ve always been wary of me and are my enemies!”
Before Kang De could speak, the elf pointed at the gorilla and shouted, “Don’t say anything to coax me into lying to me! Otherwise, why didn’t you send this woman away and insist that she stay with you? Weren’t you guarding against me attacking you? She’s here, so there are some things I can’t say!”
—Isn’t this very normal? How can I dare to be alone with you?
Just as Kang De was thinking about how to euphemistically express this, the elf was already lying on the table and crying, “What’s even more infuriating is that I actually understand and agree with your thoughts very well. I even have nothing to say, because this is f*cking a war, and we attacked first. F*ck!”
—Hey mom, you might like this elf very much.
The drunker he was, the more understanding and clear his thoughts were. Wasn’t saying these words among the guests the characteristic of Kang De’s mother after drinking?
Moreover, every time she was drunk, she would confide in Kang De about her emotional problems and family problems. The theme would always be to complain about Father Kang De and reflect on himself until he analyzed himself and detested himself. She would make up her mind that she could not do this in the future. Then, she would throw himself into her husband’s arms like a swallow returning to the forest. They would be affectionate with each other and make a promise under the moonlight. This model couple would look like they could touch the people of China and even their son.
Then, when she woke up the next day, she would pretend that nothing had happened yesterday and bully her husband as she should.
After the elf finished nagging, he looked at Kang De with his big watery eyes. “You won’t be troubled by the requests and conditions I made today, right?”
Kang De’s expression was very gentle and his heart was calm.
Although the elves’ counterattack was bone-chilling and kicked the ball back, even causing potential variables and risks, causing Kang De to feel deeply passive and unhappy, since the two countries were fighting, it was normal to use all their methods. If he was unhappy, he could just counterattack. He did not have to vent his anger on Tagris at a time like this.
He said, “You said that it’s a war. I used those corpses to make an article and forced you to stop your attack and consider a response. I was the one who attacked. It’s natural for you to fight back.”
The elf looked at him and cried again, “This is not a counterattack. Look, you’ve indeed misunderstood. You must be angry with me and want to take revenge on us—but I’m serious.”
Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “…Hmm?”
Perhaps this was what Tagris wanted to say while he was drunk.
Tagris muttered, “I don’t want to fight either. I also want to end the war. More than enough elves have died. More humans must have died. In the current situation, if we disregard everything, we still have a chance to win, but why do we have to disregard everything…”
He looked at Kang De and smiled softly, sorrow flashing through his eyes, “Even if I win and kill you, so what? So what if I swallow Goethe and conquer more?”
The elf lowered his eyes.
“They’re only a group of ants fighting for the crumbs of food… They’re complacent and satisfied to have snatched more crumbs, but they don’t know that in places they can’t see, some creatures who don’t think they’re ants are enjoying the cake that originally belonged to everyone.”
He stared at the ground.
Vidal’s maid was diligent and capable, and the floor was clean, but Tagris’ gaze was cold and mocking as if he had really seen a few ants crawling on the ground.
When Kang De heard this, his heart stirred. “What does this mean?”
Tagris did not answer this question. He looked up at the blue sky outside the window. “Kang De, do you know what’s in the sky?”
Kang De was not too sure what was going on in the universe of the other world. After all, when he was trapped on the Holy Seal Islands back then, he did not find an astronomical telescope in the district, so he had never looked at the celestial phenomenon. However, the night sky of the other world was extremely different from Earth. Sometimes, the night sky was calm and there was starlight in the sky, but sometimes it changed beautifully. The celestial phenomenon was magnificent. With Kang De’s poor astronomical knowledge, it was impossible to understand and explain.
If he asked anyone else, it would naturally be the brilliance of the gods. This was a certain great master’s eternal eye, a certain great master’s divine kingdom and domain there… In short, it was all like this.
If he said such a thing on Earth, that person would most likely be stupid. However, in a place like the other world, gods almost always existed. Perhaps that saying was true—it was better to be humble.
Therefore, he did not show off his astronomy knowledge, “Although I know that there are clouds, wind, sun, moon, stars, and perhaps the light and gaze of the gods in the sky, since you asked, there must be another answer, right? Tell me.”
Tagris looked away and at Kang De.
At this moment, Kang De realized something—the so-called domineering aura existed.
Perhaps that was only his feeling.
However, that was indeed the case. At this moment, he saw the pursuit and scrutiny of the future in Tagris’ eyes. That gaze was firm and not confused. He knew the direction and would guide his subject.
The elf said in an affirmative tone, “There’s an unknown future there, an even wider world. Perhaps there’s an undiscovered world that’s larger and larger than new islands or continents. Perhaps there’s a resource storage that’s even richer and more shocking than a few colorful mineral veins. Perhaps there’s an answer to all the disputes so far…”
—F*ck, this elf’s conquest was actually the sea of stars.
Kang De complained in his mind, but he subconsciously nodded without any confusion on his face.
Tagris looked at his face and suddenly revealed an incredulous surprise. “You can understand?”
“I know a little, a little.”
This was almost a direction destined by civilization. Earthlings with any common sense would understand.
Kang De said, “But the word you used is… perhaps?”
“Yes, but perhaps, because of the unknown, we don’t know how big this world is, nor do we know if it’s only us…”
At this point, the elf’s face was covered in a haze, “But there’s also… certainty.”
“—Which is?”
Tagris slowly clenched his fists and slowly said, “There are two inevitable things. Firstly, the chaotic attacks and greed of this world have caused huge internal strife and waste.”
Kang De nodded.
He could understand this too.
This was because Earth was the same.
After the Soviet Union was finished, the speed of development of the human aerospace industry instantly decreased. The dream of the stars and sea had really become a dream. The great development of science and technology caused by the competition of the Cold War had also slowed down. Now, there were signs of recovery, but the opportunity was new competition and challenges… Humans were such sad creatures.
He asked, “What’s the second certainty?”
Tagris lowered his voice as if he was gritting his teeth and said coldly, “There must be a group of living beings who have built a barrier that binds this world for their own benefit… They started a war and interfered in internal affairs. They even directly killed and suppressed some living beings that will bring different things to this world and obliterate their creation and hard work. Perhaps it’s a discovery, an invention, or perhaps it’s those living beings themselves.”
Kang De was moved.
Clearly, Kang De could match these examples.
However, he was not moved because of the risk he might face.
Instead, for some reason, he suddenly thought of those magical animals on the Holy Seal Islands.
