Chapter 53: The Future Overlord
That night, Cheng Yuxuan was still sleeping in Xia Yu's room, which was a kind of torture for Xia Yu. But there was no way, he could only forcibly endure it. Then meditate and practice to get through this difficult night.
This time he took refuge abroad, although his strength has not improved significantly, but Xia Yu's use of the three abilities is more handy, especially the regeneration technique and the idea technique, which can be said to be more and more crazy.
The next morning, the trio simply packed up and headed to Heathrow International Airport.
Sitting in the slightly luxurious first-class cabin, Xia Yu's heart is also magnificent.
This is the first time he has gone far away, and although the outside world is colorful and there are many places to be nostalgic, he feels that it is better to go out of the East Sea. Nowadays, rich people like to immigrate overseas, mainly because there are too many domestic terms and regulations, not casual, not free.
Xia Yu, a turtle, although he also has the conditions and capital to immigrate, he will not do that. Because he has a special affection for this magical homeland where trolls are as many as dogs and fools walk everywhere. Although the women of the West are beautiful, the turbulent parts are generally larger, and they are relatively direct and frank, he still likes those women in China who are particularly fond of pretending. There is no way, the deep-rooted traditional concept is difficult to change.
"I've always longed for that magical country in China, but I didn't have the opportunity to go there before, but now I can finally get my wish." Carlisle, who was sitting next to Xia Yu, said with relief.
"What era were you born in?" Xia Yu asked.
"In the year I was born, the Jin Kingdom invaded the south, which led to the disgrace of Jingkang, and then the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in Nanjing Yingtianfu and established the Southern Song Dynasty. Carlisle said.
"You know a lot about Chinese history." Xia Yu was surprised.
"When you live for more than 800 years, you will know the history of the world. You know, in the long years, there is more emptiness and loneliness. Sometimes, you even want to kill yourself. Carlisle said.
"I can understand!" Xia Yu said.
"The connection of the Silk Road has allowed us to witness the strong civilization of the East, and the royal family and nobles at that time wore silk products and porcelain as a symbol of glory and power. At that time, we all felt that China was a paradise on earth, and everyone longed for it very much. The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful empire in the world at that time, and during the Song Dynasty, there were three major inventions, movable type printing, the compass and gunpowder. The Yuan Dynasty was the most ferocious, and the Mongol cavalry even attacked the Danube region, and also destroyed the once powerful Arab Empire. It's a pity that prosperity must decline, and feng shui takes turns. When the East was strong, the West was simply a primitive society. But when we started the Age of Discovery, began the Industrial Revolution, made muskets and artillery, and tried to catch up with or even surpass the East, you who were invincible were closing off the country and regressing step by step. If it weren't for the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, the current world hegemon would definitely be China. Carlisle said.
Xia Yu smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh, the past is unbearable.
When I was in middle school, my history teacher said that we invented the compass and started sailing, but we sailed all over the world to pretend to be a force, to a place, and then to give a bunch of things to the locals, so as to show off our wealth, just to show off. Voyages, on the other hand, were to expand colonies and then plunder resources. We invented gunpowder, and we used it all to make fireworks, and people used our inventions to make muskets, and then they invaded us.
Do you know why Europe started the Age of Discovery?
It's all forced!
With the wide circulation of "Marco Polo's Travels" in Europe, it aroused the admiration and greed of Europeans for the civilization and wealth of the East, and Europeans have always regarded the East as a paradise on earth full of gold. At that time, spices, jewelry, silk, porcelain, and tea produced in the East were transported to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea via the Silk Road, and from there to other parts of Europe.
However, the Italian Venetians once monopolized the spice trade between Europe and Asia, and after the establishment of various countries in Western Europe, the control of the Eastern Mediterranean region directly cut off the trade routes between the East and the West. The countries of Western Europe had no choice but to be forced to change their routes and find a new route to the East. But there is no way to go by land, so you can only take the sea route!
European countries were forced to reluctantly start the Age of Discovery, just to be able to trade goods with China. As a result, the New World was discovered, and then began colonial expansion and frenzied resource plundering, exchanging the looted gold, silver and jewelry for Chinese silk and porcelain. When people are really rich and strong, they will directly invade, and then carry out more crazy plundering, which is really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.
Alas, it's all tears!
Carlisle suddenly mentioned the past history, which made Xia Yu also full of emotion.
"However, with the advent of the era of the supernatural, the hegemony of the United States has begun to waver, and China, a magical country that has created countless glories, is becoming stronger step by step and dominating the world, and that is just around the corner." Carlisle said.
"Why do you say that?" Xia Yu was surprised.
"The global population is more than 7 billion, China has 1.4 billion, and the United States has only more than 300 million. And after the advent of the era of the supernatural, the more populous the country, the more dominant it will be. Although the United States has advanced genetic technology, China is not weak. In particular, the proportion of congenitally awakened people far exceeds that of other countries in the world. The total population of the whole of Europe is more than 700 million, and China is worth two Europes. Once upon a time, many vampire families in Europe had ambitions to dominate the world, but later it turned out that this was too difficult, because China is an insurmountable mountain. And now, although the vampire family in the West is still strong, it is a little weak compared to the world's five major god organizations! Carlisle said.
Xia Yu nodded in agreement: "What you said is very reasonable, but the sad thing is that the most powerful supernatural organization in our country wanted to kill me, and I had to run to Europe to take refuge in embarrassment, you say it's ridiculous!" β
"If you want to continue to stay in China and develop, then you must not go against the dragons, otherwise, you will die without a place to bury. Just like in Spain, those who offend our Bourbon royal family have gone to hell. After a pause, Carlisle continued: "In my opinion, the trouble you have caused is not too big, and there is room for resolution. At this stage, the dragons are full of disdain for you, thinking that you are just an ant that can be pinched to death at will. But when the dragons know what you are capable of, they will be impressed with you. Coupled with me, a bodyguard comparable to a sixth-level supernatural power, I think the dragon clan will shake hands with you. You have great potential, and to kill you is a loss for the dragons. β
"I hope so!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
In fact, he also thought the same way, and it was very stupid to act against the dragons. He got the adventure, and he just wanted to pretend to be cool. If he didn't pretend, but he was going to be chased and killed by the dragon masters all over the street, it would be too cruel for him, the protagonist!
He will work hard, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to live.
As a handsome and handsome man, who wants to die?
After the protagonists of many novels appear, they directly fight against the most powerful sects or forces, Xia Yu is really powerless to complain, and he can't do it with a little brain, I really think that readers are elementary school students. Those sect forces killing the protagonist is as simple as killing a pig, and those authors describe the hostile forces very well, but they all write them as brain-dead, when dealing with the protagonist, all kinds of killing, all kinds of can't be killed, all kinds of can't be beaten, it's really a pig.
Xia Yu also wants to live in the kind of novel world where he is obviously a rookie, but he is invincible, but reality does not allow it. The world he lives in is simply all kinds of cruelty, all kinds of helplessness, so that he is also a broken egg, miserable, almost crying and fainting in the toilet.
"When we arrived in the East China Sea, we didn't wait for the dragons to come to us, but we took the initiative to find them. I think the possibility of shaking hands and making peace is still very high, if the dragon clan insists on getting rid of you, there is no room for recovery at all, then there is nothing to say, only desperately. But at that point, blindly resisting is chronic suicide, and I recommend fleeing immediately, to Japan, the United States, or somewhere else, in fact, it is okay. Of course, I don't want things to get that bad, because it's not good for you or for me! Carlisle said.
"There is no way to go, and there will always be a solution to this matter." Xia Yu said that he was still very optimistic in his heart.
"Hmm!" Carlisle nodded.
"It feels very comfortable to talk to you, even a pleasure, you are so elegant!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
Carlisle had a charming smile on his face, looked at Xia Yu and said softly, "Soon you will find out that you can't do without me!" β
This woman has unparalleled charm and is super confident!
"So sure?" Xia Yu asked with a smile.
Because he has already found out, and he is even a little fascinated by this superb lady with a big waist and thin hips. A noble queen like her, for a man, the lethality is too terrible!
"I'm in control!" Carlisle said.
"It's kind of scary!" Xia Yu said.
"I have abandoned everything to follow you to China, and you should be gratified, not jealous of my unstoppable charm, because you are my life, and only you have the right to have me. If you're afraid of being controlled by me and hold back, that's a disappointment for me. Of course, if one day, you can control me in turn, it means that you can already dominate! Carlisle said.
"Uh-hehe-" Xia Yu didn't know what to say, mainly because Carlisle was too strong, and it was too difficult to control her Spanish wild horse.
At this time, there was a sound of fighting in the business class, which made Carlisle and Xia Yu slightly stunned!
