I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Xia poured the wine from the shaker in his hand into two glasses, which was exactly two glasses of cocktails, no less. He also added mint slices by the way, which was exactly two glasses of mojito.

Tesla came over with Dane.

"You must be tired from running all the way here." Xia Ya raised his hand and motioned to the two glasses of wine, "Let's have a mojito to quench your thirst."

"Long time no see." Tesla looked at Xiaya quietly, "Mr. Merlin."

Xia Ya's eyelids closed slightly, "Long time no see."

Tesla stared at Chara quietly, looking at his face without wrinkles, just like it was decades ago.

Time seems to have stood still on the being in front of me, but he is already an old man in his sixties.

"I now believe you are very old indeed," he said.

"As long as you have a good attitude, you can stay young forever," said Xia Ya.

"Then your mentality must not be bad." Tesla complained.

Dane looked at Tesla in confusion and then at Char.

The appearance of this tavern owner is very special.

Of course, it's not the strange kind. He looks very handsome and has an oriental feel. This exotic appearance is very popular in the West.

What's special is that he has an indescribable temperament about him. He looks very young, but it's like his soul is covered with a curtain, making it impossible to guess his age. He has a feeling of being out of tune with ordinary people. .

"Father, do you know him?" Dane asked in a low voice.

"That's right, I've met him before," Tesla said. "He saved your mother and me. He is the benefactor of our family."

Dane reacted and saluted Xia respectfully.

"Hello, sir. My name is Dane Tesla."

He looked back at the door, a little worried whether the group of soldiers would come in.

But Tesla patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, entering here means it is absolutely safe."

He sat on the chair in front of the bar, and Dane followed suit.

Tesla stared at Char, "When I returned to Croatia, I tried to find you, but this store has disappeared."

"Where this store is opened usually depends on my mood." Xia Ya said.

"Is that so?" Tesla murmured in a low voice, "I had many questions to ask you at the beginning, but now I don't know what to ask."

Xia Ya smiled, "You already have an answer in your heart, don't you?"

Tesla was silent, speechless.

Dane looked at Tesla again and then at Char. To be honest, although he knew every word of what they said, he couldn't understand them at all.

However, although he was very curious, he also knew when to say something, so he did not interrupt and just silently picked up his glass of cocktail.

It was very cold, perhaps because of the ice cubes inside. He took a sip. There was not much of an alcoholic taste, but more of a strange taste of mint mixed with soda water that burst into his air. It was very exciting. Intoxicated.

"Are you being hunted down again?" Xia Ya teased.

Tesla nodded, "People from Tsarist Russia may also be Germans."

"It seems like we are really destined." Xia Ya joked,

Tesla shrugged incredulously.

"What are you doing in Tsarist Russia?" Xia Ya continued to ask.

Tesla whispered with deep eyes, "The foundation of a strong country is vast land and resources, as well as sufficient strategic depth. Without these, no matter how powerful the technology is, it cannot be said to be a strong country.

Serbia is too small, and its land area determines its development limit. We cannot resist the invasion from the Allies, so I came here to seek new allies. "

"It seems that you have failed?" Xia Ya smiled.

"That's true." Tesla murmured in a low voice, "Tsarist Russia has been infiltrated by Germany, and the emperor of this country has basically become a puppet of Germany."

"Nicholas II and Wilhelm II grew up together, and they even had the same grandmother." Char said, "So this is not surprising.

Even the current king of Britain is actually related by blood to the kings of Germany and Tsarist Russia.

This was true across Europe, where their royal families intermarried for hundreds of years.

In a strict sense, Alicia is even related by blood to these people.

Although there is no royal family in Britannia now, their bloodline continues in Europe.

"Nicholas II was very ambitious." Xia Ya said quietly, "He dreamed of opening up territory for the country like his ancestors. He wanted to incorporate the northeast into Russia, and he also wanted to incorporate the northwest of Beichen into the country. To capture Persia, it was necessary to capture not only the Bosporus, but also the Dardanelles.

But his domestic governance was a mess. Even so, he continued to carry out military adventures and constantly provoked Beichen, but in the end he was severely punished by Beichen, and the Pacific Fleet was almost completely annihilated.

But even so, he still did not give up. He promoted the "Yellow Peril Theory" in unison with William II and wanted to deal with Beichen together with the West.

He is not a person worthy of entrusting the future. "

"I understand," Tesla whispered, "but he is always the czar of this empire."

"I do have another candidate." Xia Ya said calmly.

Hearing this, Tesla slowly raised his head and looked at him.

But at this moment, there was a crisp sound from the door behind.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who was not tall walked in. He wiped the water drops on his body.

"Sorry, it's raining heavily outside. I'll hide here for a while."

He looked around with some confusion, "I often do this, but I've never found it here."

He spoke a somewhat broken Swiss.

"The door just opened." Char said, speaking very fluent Russian.

He looked at Chara in surprise, and then replied in Russian, "Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

"Of course." Xia Ya smiled and pointed to the bookshelf on his left. "There are free books to read here, just remember to put them back when you leave."

"The business model of your tavern is quite interesting." The man smiled. "You don't sell alcohol, but you also give people free books to read."

He walked over, and Dane also saw his appearance clearly. He seemed to be very old, because his hair loss was very severe, and his forehead almost reached the top of his head, with only some hair on the sides and back.

His eyes were bright and lively, slightly wrinkled, his nose was pointed and straight, and his mouth was stern and firm. The eyebrows are dark and dense, as if conveying some kind of wisdom.

He looked at the books in front of the bookshelf. When he saw a certain row, he opened his eyes slightly, because that row contained some extremely familiar books that he had read countless times.

"Das Kapital", "Manifesto of the Revolutionary Party of Britannia", "Critique of Britannian Society", etc.

He looked at the owner of the tavern with a glimmer in his eyes, "Boss, the books you have here are all banned here."

"There aren't many people in this store, right?" Xia Ya said indifferently.

He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I don't think you will report me, right?"

The middle-aged man looked at Tesla and others.

"They are my friends." Xia Ya said.

He looked up and down at Tesla and the young man beside him who looked very similar to him. For some reason, he always felt that the older of the two looked familiar, but for a moment he thought Can't get up.

After a pause, he smiled and said, "I have actually read all these books."

He was not surprised that Char dared to put these books on the bookshelf blatantly, because he was now in Switzerland, which was, at least on the surface, a neutral country.

He came to Xia Ya's side and stretched out his hand to Xia Ya, and Xia Ya also stretched out her hand to shake his hand.

"Hello, Davarish, my name is Vladimir."
