Chapter 008: The Divine Republic
Qiyun Kingdom, dead?
When he heard this, Luton was rarely a little lonely.
He is the founder of the Qiyun Kingdom, he has fought for his ideals, he has crowned the empress, and he has drunk a lot at the founding ceremony...
Giving good fortune is just a small contribution that he has made easily.
Even if he was hanged by the people of the Qiyun Kingdom, Lu Deng never complained.
It can be said that this is the most idealistic, romantic and devoted journey of Ludon's three simulations.
therefore
When he heard the word 'dead,'
The beating heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle and twitched.
The pain of the convulsions quickly disappeared.
But these memories and emotions will accompany Luden for the rest of his life.
On a sleepless night, a prayer, a moment of solitude, the feeling comes and goes back like a tide.
From then on, Ludon feared silence, loneliness, and sobriety.
He tilted his head and poured down a glass of wine, his eyes dazed with drunkenness.
Dead... It's going to be dead.
Is there an immortal dynasty in the world?
The rain outside the window is the funeral of the Qiyun Kingdom.
Rain, wine, sad man.
Neither wine nor beauty can heal the scars in the softest part of his heart.
Lutdon knew it was a tough night.
...
The next day, Ludon woke up from the soft velvet with a headache and hunger.
"Let's go, my husband is back."
Before Ludon could see the arrangement in front of him, he was stuffed with a pile of clothes in his arms and pushed away.
Fortunately, this kind of thing is quite familiar to Luden.
He jumped out of the window, through the bushes, over the fence, back on the town street, and began to take a formal look at the new world.
On the streets, there are no horse-drawn carriages, no telephone poles ... Oh, and there are no street lights yet!
Last but not least, definitely good news.
Luden basically judged that the level of science and technology of this era was, in the language of Earth, to be of the grade of BC.
There are iron and bronze tools, and the currency in circulation is gold coins, silver coins...
Thinking of this, Ludon touched his wallet, and his face suddenly became a little strange.
This feel, or 800 grams?
That's not right!
He had a drink last night, and it clearly cost a big gold coin!
Could it be that he is being exploited again?
Ludon admits that he does like white prostitution, and who doesn't love free stuff?
But he doesn't like to be exploited!
As a spreader of good fortune, he has always been the only one who exploits others, and how can others exploit him!
This account, the road is registered!
Sooner or later, I'm going to have to pay it back!
He wandered the streets, taking in the local conditions and learning about the local situation.
The name of the town is Charia, which means a place of happiness and beauty in the proverb.
The town of Shariah belongs to the Divine Republic, which is controlled by the Senate and has the positions of consul and high priest.
The town is dominated by humans, and only in the slave market can you see a small number of goblins and elves.
That's right
The Republic of God regressed to slavery.
Slavery, slavery of all evils!
For Luden, the propagandist of good fortune, slavery was the most odious of institutions.
What blessings did slaves enjoy?
Death?
In the last simulation, Luden clearly recognized:
Freedom is the greatest blessing for slaves!
It took half a day for Ludon to walk through the town.
At noon, he ate a black pepper steak of baked potatoes at a tavern.
Due to last night's experience, the enthusiastic boss insisted on getting the bill waived.
Luton also got a general idea of prices through the menu's conversations with other people.
There are four types of currency: large gold coins, small gold coins, silver coins, and miso.
The large gold coin weighs 8 grams, and the small gold coin weighs 5 grams,
5 large gold coins can be exchanged for 8 small gold coins,
1 small gold coin can be exchanged for 12 silver coins, or 240 meters.
One large gold coin is equal to about 19.2 silver coins, which is 384 meters.
100 meters is enough to buy rations, enough for a family of three to eat for half a month.
Truth be told, if these numbers are listed on paper, just looking at them can make people dizzy and drowsy.
1:12:240.
This kind of anti-human reconciliation system is real in history.
Roadside vendors often miscalculate, so they often buy and sell at a fixed price.
The Republic of God has many shortcomings: a cumbersome monetary system, backward slavery, unrestrained women...
But
There is one thing that Ludon likes very much.
The Republic of God is a place of great respect for the law!
The Senate decreed that all the laws were to be engraved on stone tablets and erected in the center of the city, for all to read and study.
Anyone has the right to supervise and can testify before the law enforcement team/court as long as they take an oath to the slate!
It's just that if you want to read the words on the slate and understand the specific meaning of the legal provisions, you have to work hard.
A country that respects the law is undoubtedly the best starting point for Luden!
After being in the analog world for so long, this is the second joy he has gained.
thereupon
All afternoon, Ludon stood in the square, poring over the code on the stone slabs, greedily absorbing every word of it.
This kind of learning is a beautiful thing.
What is engraved on the code is not only the rules and regulations that govern people's words and deeds, but also the history of the Republic of God, the thoughts of the Senate...
The slate in front of Ludon was his first stepping stone to success.
As the sun set, Lutdon looked at the Codex like a sculpture for an entire afternoon, until someone spoke to him.
A member of the enforcement team stepped forward and saluted Luden.
"Hello, strange adventurer, let me call you that, if you may be."
"Hello, you can call me Mr. Lu."
Ludon followed the example and replied politely,
"Which of the codes did I violate?"
The person from the law enforcement team hurriedly waved his hand and explained,
"No, don't get me wrong, Mr. Lu, we drank together last night. Ahem, I mean, the sheriff in town heard about your arrival and wanted to invite you to dinner. ”
The magistrate, the highest-ranking administrator of the small town of Sharia, holds part of the judicial and administrative powers, and has no military power in his hands...
An excellent magistrate who is a popular substitute for members of the Senate.
As soon as someone dies in those old guys, there will be a magistrate running to fill the vacancy.
The other party's invitation, Lu Deng naturally had no reason to refuse.
"This way, please."
Members of the Enforcement Team walked in front and led the way for Lud.
At this time, the night was already a little dark, and it was difficult to see the scenery on both sides.
Luton always felt that there was something familiar about it.
On second thought, since he had walked around the whole town, it was very reasonable for him to be familiar.
"This is it."
Ludon was led to a small building.
His gaze went over the fence, over the bushes, and landed on the somewhat imposing villa.
Ludon is sure of one thing:
He jumped out of the second window on the left this morning.
