Mr. Luden.

The old woman's voice echoed through the room, gently awakening the sleeping mind.

Luden's eyes were slightly downcast, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cold.

He hadn't mentioned the name 'Luden' to anyone since the fourth simulation.

Even the sheriff Berkeley just called him Mr. Lu.

The woman pushing the wheelchair, that is, the mistress of the manor, Mrs. Vito.

She obviously noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and spoke appropriately,

"You said that name last night."

Oh, that's fine.

A false alarm.

Luden looked at the old woman with a deep gaze, waiting for the next step.

The old woman's voice was hoarse, like the rotation of a grinding wheel, and she spoke slowly,

"Qiyun Kingdom... It is the most prosperous and pinnacle kingdom in history..."

Luden has no doubts about this.

As one of the founders of the Qiyun Kingdom, Luden left behind many seeds while spreading good fortune.

The basis of the legal system, ideological enlightenment, industrial reform, weapons development...

That's all he has to do.

Lu Deng had no doubt that the Qiyun Kingdom, which had hanged himself, could go further.

"The Kingdom of Qiyun has mastered a magical power called 'electricity', which is a gift from the gods, in order to send 'electricity' to mankind, the saint loves the saint and falls into the world, and he who bears the curse is also male and female..."

Love the saint?

Especially the section where men and women are both men and women...

Ludon didn't know how to complain for a while.

A transvestite genius would be pushed to the altar by people two thousand years later.

History is such an interesting thing.

If Ludon stood up and told the world that this guy was an evil capitalist who sucked blood no less than himself, I wonder what the world would think?

The Aisheng Church will send people to blow up Luden's AC power station, will send people to steal Luden's inventions, will sneak into the hospital to cover up seriously injured workers, just to pay some less compensation and medical expenses...

He has done enough despicable things to write an encyclopedia!

The so-called love saint is also a mortal.

It is precisely for this reason that Lu Deng repeatedly emphasized in public places when he was in the Kingdom of Qiyun:

Don't engage in personality cults, especially don't symbolize or deify individuals.

People are people and they must have their own limitations.

Involving mortals and gods will only disorient more wise men and fools into an inexplicable spiral of death.

The good news is that the people of the Qiyun Kingdom have finally listened to Luden.

thereupon

They hanged Ludon.

The bad news: after Ludon's death, they went back to their original path.

In the face of the torrent of history, Ludon once again felt the insignificance and powerlessness of being an individual.

This is also his limitation, and he always wants to change the course of history by himself.

The old woman spoke intermittently, sometimes even with a pause in a long sentence.

The beautiful lady brought a glass of water and kept stroking the old woman's back, trying to make her more comfortable.

After saying the deeds of the 'love saint', the old woman stopped.

She needs to think and recall in order to turn over the information in her memory little by little.

Madame spoke at this time, and her voice was melodious, like that of a canary,

"My husband is also a believer in loving saints."

Oh?

When Ludon heard this, there was no problem at first glance.

soon

His face changed, as if he had thought of something.

Obviously, in the mythology of the Divine Republic, Ai Sheng not only brought electricity to the people, but also brought something else.

To sum it up in four words:

The freedom of love.

"This..."

Luden groaned in his heart,

"Maybe it's the only contribution that Ai Sheng has made to the world..."

Previously, when the old woman introduced her, she said that Ai Sheng had brought two kinds of electricity, one called direct current and the other called alternating current, and warned the world:

"Don't make mistakes, God can't punish them."

Luden: ......

This is somewhat outrageous.

While Ludon was still alive, Ai Sheng was a supporter of DC power because he only had a DC patent.

After Ludon was hanged, if nothing else, the Aisheng Society owned all the patents for alternating current.

At that time, he will communicate if he wants, and he will communicate if he wants, and he will be the most free.

Lu Deng has always trusted the stable performance of Aisheng's moral level.

"In addition to 'electricity', the Qiyun Kingdom also has glass, automobiles, and ships..."

"Everyone can eat, every dwarf can drink, everyone can live to fifty..."

In the chatter of the old woman, a great, ancient, and mysterious country is unveiled in front of everyone.

these

Unable to attract Luden.

He was too familiar with the Qiyun Kingdom.

Lu Deng will not shamelessly say that everything in the Qiyun Kingdom was created by him.

Contrary

He has always been humble and feels that he has only made some insignificant contribution.

Just a million good fortunes were sent, and that's it.

If there was a chance to do it all over again, Ludon felt that number could be doubled!

Ludon shook his glass and asked,

"If the Qiyun Kingdom is so powerful, why did it perish?"

Not only Luden,

Even Mrs. Vito, behind the old woman, was obsessed with the story.

She had never heard her mother mention it.

I don't know that two thousand years ago, there was such a prosperous kingdom.

Obviously, everything about the Qiyun Kingdom is a secret, a secret that only exists in the hearts of the oldest and most elite people.

"Such a powerful Qiyun Kingdom has died under the curse of demons."

The old woman said quietly,

"Among the thirteen saints who founded the Qiyun Kingdom, there is a demon lurking!"

At the mention of the demon, the old woman's voice sharpened.

Her thin palms clutched the handrails, and her skin, pale from lack of sunlight, revealed a strange red,

"The saints have seen through the disguise and found the devil! They put the devil to death! ”

Her voice was hysterical, and her body trembled.

"But... It's all late... The Kingdom of Qiyun eventually died. ”

As she spoke, the old woman even had cloudy tears running down her wrinkled face.

apparently

She is a follower of the Thirteen Saints and also sees demons as a lifelong enemy.

If the demon returns, she is willing to follow the example of the saints and kill the demon again!

After listening to the whole story, Ludon picked up his glass and drank the contents of the glass.

He let out a sigh of relief and sighed,

"What a demon."

The old woman's mood changes drastically, like an actor on a drama stage.

Come fast and go fast.

After a brief sobbing, she quickly calmed down and allowed Mrs. Vito to wipe the tears from her face.

The old woman opened her mouth coldly,

"Although the Qiyun Kingdom has perished, the legend of the demon has also been handed down..."

Ludon picked up the bottle of wine with his hand, and without any trembling, poured himself half a glass steadily.

"Oh?"

Apparently, he was interested in the legend of the devil.

"The old people used to say..."

The old woman said word by word,

"The demons will return to this land."
