Chapter 37



He did not even have any concept of phones, nor did he know about it taking photos.

If he knew, he would definitely shout “despicable foreigner” and so on.

However, the princess knew.

The first time Kang De sent the princess back to the camp, he took a photo with her and demonstrated the increasingly exquisite camera function of his phone to Tina. The girl was deeply impressed.

At this moment, when she saw Kang De do this, she knew what this guy wanted to do.

She covered her mouth and pointed at Kang De with her other hand. Her eyes were wide with shock.

It looked like she was criticizing Kang De’s actions.

However, there was a strong smile in her eyes.

Kang De whispered, “After I’m done, I’ll give you a copy.”

Tina put down her hand and smiled mischievously. “Deal… but you can’t show it to anyone.”

Kang De smiled and said, “Of course, only the two of us will know about this. Let’s keep it as a memento.”

The girl chuckled.

The two of them looked at each other and felt that their relationship had become closer. As expected, the best way to increase their favorability was to join forces to bully another honest person.

He did not know how long Cleveland would wear it, but the two of them chatted for a while.

“High heels?”

Speaking of this, the princess knew it like the back of her hand, “At first, it was the high-heeled combat boots invented by the Belloran people. They were used to jam the stirrups for convenience in battle and were transmitted to the Empire. Later on, there was a better design, so they were gradually eliminated. However, some nobles still maintained this tradition. As for how it completely became popular, it was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the Imperial Chancellor, Auster the First, was not tall. In order to not be at a disadvantage when meeting the elven envoy, the etiquette officer had a flash of inspiration and temporarily designed high-heeled shoes. From then on, it was deeply loved by the emperor…”

Kang De subconsciously said, “Elves.”

“Yes, it’s the elves again.”

The girl also sighed, “Elves are born with stronger talent than humans, and their natural affinity is extremely high. The lifelong mission of the Druids of the Twilight Dynasty is to plant, grow wood, make bows, and feed animals. Fighting is only a secondary goal… Elves are more talented than humans, and they eat more than humans. Their physical fitness is naturally stronger than humans. More than a hundred years ago, not to mention the emperor, even in terms of general height, elves were far higher than humans.”

“It’s much better now. We humans also have our own Druids. Moreover, we broke through the arcane seal of the elves and walked our own path. The population reproduced, the food production increased, and we reclaimed more land to feed more people… The humans are slowly becoming stronger now.”

“It’s just that…”

Tina said softly, “It’s just that the elves have always been powerful…”

“It’s not only the strength of the military and economy but also other things…”

The girl muttered, “The most popular and famous opera in the human countries must have been brought in from the Twilight Dynasty. The clothes popular in the upper-class society of the capital must have been led by the elves.”

“Elves’ novels, elves’ songs, elves’ plays, elves’ clothes, and elves’ culture. The nobles will enthusiastically pursue all elves. An ordinary and even notorious elf will receive all kinds of inexplicable preferential treatment when they come to the human world. There are even women throwing themselves at her.”

“As for the stockings you’re talking about, they also came from the elves. They were originally made of special materials by the Sky Rangers to prevent them from being scratched by the thorny plants when they moved in the forest. In the end, the Empire’s nobles ignored this and directly wore them. Not only that, they even became a symbol of status…”

At this point, she shook her head repeatedly with a complicated expression. Perhaps she was angry that they were useless.

Today, Tina was especially talkative.

Perhaps she really lacked someone to confide in on this problem.

“This situation… I’m very uneasy. The elves rely on their powerful martial strength and economic strength to push their culture to the entire world, making the other races accept the way the elves think and make the other races gradually acknowledge them. I just feel that this sign is very dangerous.”

“But I told it to the people around me. They didn’t think much of it and felt that I was thinking too much…”

She looked at the Cathayan in front of her and said softly, “Kang De, can you understand me?”

Of course.

It hit too close to home.

Culture invasion, cultural erosion.

Under the sunlight, there was nothing different. The situation faced by the humans of the other world had naturally also happened on Earth.

Cultural export.

Western trash.

Hollywood.

The smearing on social media.

There were too many.

Kang De wanted to analyze this situation with Tina and tell her that her worry was very correct. However, for a moment, he did not know how to systematically and simply describe and explain this to her, because he could not give an example of Earth. He still had to hide it.

But Tina smiled.

“That’s great…”

She muttered, “Your eyes tell me that you understand. Moreover, you agree with my thoughts. My worry is indeed correct, right?”

Kang De nodded. “Of course.”

He slowly said, “If we want to describe this situation… it can probably be called a conflict between civilizations. It’s not only a military and economic conflict, but more a conflict between the system, history, faith, and spirit. If a civilization wants to be strong, not only must it continuously maintain internal innovation and strength, it can’t only focus on the expansion of its territory and population. Most importantly, it has to maintain its cultural strength…”

At this point, Kang De looked vexed. He felt that he was a little tongue-tied. After all, he was not a professional scholar, and he was only an ordinary person with little knowledge.

This explanation came from his experience and thinking in the past year.

It was just a small feeling.

However, this feeling was already important enough to Tina.

Her eyes widened. “So, how should we change all this?”

He still knew how to answer this question, but he only knew.

“Of course, it’s to strengthen yourself and maintain your strength. Only if your country is powerful can you be qualified to export your culture. Only then will others be interested in your culture and be willing to learn and pursue it. Without a powerful aircraft carrier, it’s useless no matter how many academies you build.”

“Of course, it’s best to go both ways. It’s best to go both ways…”

Kang De spread out his hands, “Of course, this is only a general idea. For example, everyone knows the principle of strengthening oneself, but when it comes to actual operations, they don’t know how to do it.”

Tina looked at him quietly. “Does Kang De… know?”

‘Do… I know?’

Planting more fields, producing more food, raising more people, refining more steel, and creating larger explosives—this was the path of a powerful country that Kang De had summarized based on the course of history.

As for cultural countermeasures outside the strong country, it was even simpler.

After all, compared to Tina, he knew the experience and mistakes summarized by thousands of years of humans. Moreover, there was a large amount of essence of civilization in the bookstore of the shopping center.

A path that would definitely succeed.

However, it was only limited to knowing.

Still, Tina saw the light in his eyes.

At this moment, the princess almost lost her calm. She subconsciously grabbed Kang De’s hand.

However, she quickly realized what she was doing and swallowed the words she was about to say.

Just like Kang De, the princess was also very careful and rational.

She smiled calmly and said, “It’s indeed very interesting to chat with Kang De.”

Kang De felt the softness of the other party’s hand. Although he was surprised, he smiled.

“So…”

The princess changed the topic imperceptibly, “Are stockings and high-heeled boots already women’s clothes in your country?”

Kang De nodded. “Ah, it’s like that…”

He saw the embarrassed desire in Tina’s eyes.

Ah, he had actually forgotten about this.

Kang De patted his forehead. “When this is over, I’ll give you a set, including cosmetics… Take it as a gift.”

The princess revealed sincere joy and gratitude. “Thank you so much…”

At this moment, a dissatisfied roar sounded from the forest behind.

…The gorilla was actually eavesdropping.

Kang De shouted, “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll give you a set too!”

Seriously, he could find a larger dress for the knight, but how could one find women’s clothes that the gorilla could wear? Even if he wanted to buy custom-made items, there was no one to make them.

Seriously.

He cursed in his mind before hearing a crisp sound.

It was the ethereal sound of the thin heel knocking on the ground.

For decades, high heels had slowly become associated with sex. It was said that when many men heard the crisp sound of high heels walking, their hearts would turn soft.

Although Kang De did not have to do this, he still held his breath.

A pair of black boots stepped out.

This boot stretched all the way to her knees. On it was a transparent black stocking. In a short period, her round thigh was covered by a black short skirt. It was a very beautiful scene.

The white turtleneck sweater perfectly covered his Adam’s apple.

The khaki windbreaker jacket was extremely fashionable.

His brown wavy hair revealed a mature charm.

The knight blushed and roared, “What a shameless outfit!”

The princess was already stunned.

It had to be said that the knight was indeed good-looking.

The windbreaker, a white sweater, a short skirt, and stockings and boots were chosen by Kang De. It was a very straight man’s aesthetic. If it were on Earth, he would complain… However, it looked very good on the knight.

After all, Kang De was experienced and knowledgeable. He was only stunned for a moment before calming down. After all, Knight’s face was a little out of character… However, it did not matter. There were many solutions.

“I have to bring the charm necklace later.”

He lowered his head and picked up the bag of makeup products. “Let me help you put on some makeup… Tina can help.”

The knight took two steps back and nearly fell. Kang De’s expression made him uneasy.

“Wait… wait! Don’t come over!”
