The refusal of the orcs to go south was the biggest problem facing Luden.

On the northern snowfield, there are the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom, which is not only surrounded by orcs, but also has a harsh environment.

Ludon is on a mission to discover the secrets of the fall of the Kingdom of Qiyun.

It was something he had to do.

The priority of this matter was raised by Luton to the highest level.

He needs to know why the Qiyun Kingdom died and what mistakes he made in Qiyun that led to the tragic ending.

Only by knowing your mistakes can you avoid them in this simulation and the next.

You can't follow the old path of the Qiyun Kingdom.

Something has to be learned.

Ludon knew very well that perhaps it had nothing to do with him, that he was just a person and could not influence the world 1,200 years from now.

The demise of the Qiyun Kingdom, even if it is really divided, cannot be blamed on a person who has been dead for more than a thousand years.

His intellect kept telling cold and correct facts.

This answer doesn't matter, let go of the baggage and look forward, you can do better...

But

Luton also had his irrational moments.

He needed to know the answer.

For himself, but also for Qiyun.

When Ludon came down from the high platform, Spartak greeted him, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Luden, we may have to wait for the next beast tide, and the beasts are hiding in the north, and they have no intention of going south."

As if knowing what Ludon was worried about, Spartak volunteered to add,

"Mr. Ludon, the Senate's decree is to require an exploration to be completed during the Beast War, and if the orcs don't go south, the decree will remain in effect..."

He wanted to persuade Ludon that there was no need to be in such a hurry, and that he could wait a little longer.

After a few years, the bell rings again, and as long as there are enough orcs, sooner or later they will go south again...

Ludon shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

He couldn't afford to put it off.

Ponge couldn't afford to drag it out.

Returning to the castle's lodgings, Ludon instructed the steward who was with him,

"Let them send 'that thing' over."

The steward's heart sank, and he endured the shock, didn't say anything, and went to do it immediately.

Ludon called out to the steward,

"Bring Awu too, and invite the university scholars three... Send a message to everyone, anyone who wants to go to the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom, can follow. ”

"Understood!"

Spartak caught up, lowered his voice, and said urgently,

"Mr. Luden, it's impossible for a hot air balloon to float to the snow!"

There are only two ways to get to the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom:

Land, sky.

The orcs retreated to the north and died by land.

They sent out an exploration team, not an army of 100,000.

What's more, to support the logistics of tens of thousands of troops on the snowy fields and launch an expedition ..

Even if Ludon wanted to, the Senate would not go crazy with him.

If you can't do it on land, you can only look to the sky.

During the last Beast War, Ludon used a hot air balloon to complete a near-impossible journey from Snow Valley to Snow River City.

Clearly, Ludon wanted to replicate the miracle of the previous one.

However, Spartacus, who knows the inside story of the whole process, certainly knows the meaning behind this miracle.

Luden's itinerary was carefully planned, and each distance flown needed to be replenished in time. …

Going to the snowfields in a hot air balloon and exploring the ruins of Qiyun is a completely impossible task!

Even if it does fly over, there is still a threat of the beast tide below!

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you ignore the orcs, Ludon will definitely not be able to return!

Spartak can't stand by and watch Mr. Ludon die!

"Don't worry, I don't want to hang up."

Ludon saw Spartak's uneasiness, and casually reassured,

"You'll know when you see something like that."

A few days later, Spartak saw what Mr. Ludon called 'that thing'.

How can we describe it in words?

A huge, inflated monster, like a sealed hot air balloon, suspended in the air with a pod hanging underneath.

The metal used to build the pod was a metal that Spartak had never seen before.

From Mr. Luden's mouth, he learned that the metal was called aluminum.

And this huge monster has a nice name - airboat.

"It's actually quite simple."

Ludon walked in front, Spartak followed closely behind, and although he could not understand Mr. Ludon's words, he still remembered every word as best he could.

"The three major acids and three alkalis are very easy to make, and the generator is not difficult, the industrial base of Shenbang is very weak, but the handicraft industry is not weak, fortunately, I am still the richest person in Shenbang..."

Spartak felt his head swell, and unfamiliar terms kept coming out of Mr. Ludon's mouth.

"It's true that the efficiency of making ammonia from three acids and two alkalis is not high, but I have a lot of money, besides, the manpower of Shenbang is very cheap, and the efficiency can be tolerated even lower..."

Clearly, Mr. Ludon has not been idle for the past few years.

Many people believe that he has gone into hiding, and he is at ease to be a rich man, so that he can earn Miso for the only pleasure in his life.

They were wrong.

Ludon is secretly dotting on technology, and then amazes everyone!

According to Luden:

Inspired by the descendants of the Saint of Love, he learns the secret of thunder and lightning.

This is not a secret, it is public news in the state of God.

The Inquisition has confirmed that Miss El is a descendant of the Saint of Love.

Lutden built a secret power plant, and easily pointed out the technology of aluminum.

With aluminum, the plan to build a motorboat is much easier.

Originally, according to Luden's original intention, he planned to jump over the airship and go straight to the plane.

However, the industrial base of the Divine State was too weak, and it took six years for Lu Deng to save up only one airship.

A trial model was built before, and after dozens of flight tests, the safety is very reliable.

In terms of the choice of gas, Ludon finally chose ammonia.

This gas is relatively stable, and even if it crashes, there is some hope of survival.

The aluminium alloy frame supports the frame of the motorboat, and the interior is filled with one airbag after another to provide buoyancy for the airship to rise.

Of course, the air room is indispensable, so as not to explode the airbag after the airship flies to a certain altitude, affected by thermal expansion and cold contraction.

The pod has a steam engine at the bow and tail to drive the propellers and provide forward power for the airship.

There's even a foot generator as a backup power source...

In short, Lu Deng, who crossed over from the Nebula Empire, had already done a lot of homework and knew what a qualified traverser should do. …

He used the resources in his hands to secretly build an airship!

He would never have been able to do this without the Inquisition's help in blocking the news.

After seeing this flying fortress, Spartak was shocked and quickly came back to his senses,

"You already knew that the orcs might not go south?"

"No, I don't know."

Ludon shook his head, rejecting Spartacus' idea,

"I'm not a god, and I don't have the power of an unpredictable prophet, and I'm surprised that the orcs didn't go south."

Spartak asked, puzzled,

"Then you..."

Ludon gives a reasonable explanation,

"You should think of me as a rainy day."

For a rainy day?

If it was just like this, Lu Deng would not have smashed most of the resources in his hands for this little thing!

A strong man stepped down from the airship and laughed loudly,

"This guy is just too lazy to walk!"

Ponger ruthlessly debunked Luden's true thoughts.

It's a long way to the north, and it's too hard to walk on your legs.

The carriage has no way to go, the butt hurts when riding a horse, and the sedan chair is too slow...

Flying over is the solution that best fits Luden's character.

Ponger stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Luden.

His sideburns have turned white, and he is more than ten years old compared to three years ago.

Luckily, he's still alive.

The two hugged for only three seconds.

It's a bit rude to hug it any longer.

Behind Pong, there were quite a few people walking out.

Awu, University Scholar Three, University Scholar Eight, Justice Gurred...

These people are all people who want to go to the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom to find out.

Pang didn't care about them, but walked side by side with Ludon and asked casually,

"Have a drink in the castle tonight?"

"Tomorrow, you can't drink and drive."

"Then I'll have two drinks."

“......”

That night, in one of the castle's most luxurious banquet rooms, Ludon and Ponger sat down at a long table and drank each other.

Instead of being across the entire table, they sat in a corner.

Ponger cut off a piece of cooked beef, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it with a frown.

He looked at most of the steaks left on his plate, and he really had no appetite.

Three years ago, such a steak, Pang Ge could show off two large plates.

Now, he can't even finish half of the plate.

Ponger shook the brass bell, and a servant walked into the banquet hall, waiting for orders,

Ponger pointed to the steak in front of him,

"Send it to Awu."

The servant took the steak and turned to leave.

Luden silently rolled his eyes,

"You're not dirty."

Ponger picked up his glass, took a sip of wine, and said nothing.

The moonlight shone through the windowsill and slapped coldly on the table.

Pong's voice shattered the silence,

"Really going?"

"It's been a long time coming."

Lu Deng wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and replied seriously,

"I have a reason why I have to go."

Pang Ge looked at Luden, at this military advisor who helped him reach the pinnacle of power in the Divine State and left the most brilliant mark in history, and at this demon who always smiled lightly and seemed to be omnipotent.

"No, you don't."

Ponger's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts, to see through Ludon's deepest thoughts. …

Ponger said firmly,

"You know what the ruins have, and you know what the ruins are in, and once they are circulated, what kind of impact will be caused!

You're just... I just don't care. ”

"Old friend, I'm going to be sad if I say that."

Ludon raised his wine glass, hid one eye behind the glass, and said seriously,

"I care."

"Really?"

"Really."

Pang Ge silently took a sip of wine, his eyelids drooped, and said in a deep voice,

"If you find anything that will shake the foundations of the Saint Descendants... It is best not to take it out of the Qiyun ruins. ”

This is the biggest worry of the Holy Descent family.

It is also Justice Grored's biggest concern!

What if the fall of the Qiyun Kingdom is related to the Holy Descent Family?

What if the Holy Code is not as sacred as it is rumored?

The beast tide was repulsed, and the Divine State prospered unprecedentedly, and its strength climbed to its peak.

But

This brings another pitfall:

While the territory is too large, the Divine State Center's radiation power and control over the surrounding areas are too weak!

There are always slaves rebelling, there are always other forces on the move, there are always people doing something...

Geographically, Shenbang is not a good capital.

Previously, in the capital of the Divine Bond, it was to consider that the beast tide was going south, and ensuring safety was the first element.

Now, the beast tide can no longer compete with the legions, and the trade is more prosperous, and the weakness of the divine state in terms of economic attributes is exposed.

There have been many citizens of the state of God who have moved out of the state of God to live and have done business in various parts of the state of God.

At the same time, the circle of civilians around the Divine State was also diluted a little.

At this critical time of transformation, Shenbang cannot afford any surprises!

And the exploration of the ruins of the Qiyun Kingdom... It's the biggest surprise!

Ponge knows very well that in this world, there is always something to be afraid of.

Ludon was going, and he couldn't stop him.

In fact, Lundon decided to do anything, and Ponge couldn't stop him.

It's just that Pang Ge hopes that while Lutdon is doing things, he will leave some leeway for Luton himself, leaving a ... Means of subsistence.

If Lu Deng really found something 'unbelievable' in the Qiyun ruins,

Those guys in the Senate, when they are in a hurry, will go crazy!

The conversation between the two reached an impasse.

"The Yager family, maybe we are saints, who knows, but our ancestors do have something to pass down."

Ponger suddenly talked about another topic,

"Elder Sirui, it's the little old man you issued a half-ton medal, he died last year.

Among his relics, there was one thing that should have been left to the senator, but it was designated for me. ”

It's not in order.

But Ponge himself is the strongest force in upholding the rules.

"This relic is very special, it has nothing to do with my ancestors, but it is said that the clue to finding the demon is in it."

As he spoke, Ponge pulled out a painttube from his bag.

"Something like that, I think other Saint Families have it, the justices should have it, and the university scholars also have it..."

Pong's voice paused, adding,

"Inquisition, too."

He pushed the cartridge in front of Ludon and left his last words of advice. …

"The Holy Law will guard every citizen of the Divine State, leaving no one to be left behind."

With that, Ponge got up and left the banquet hall.

He knew that Ludon needed a little alone time.

And, Pounger is confident that Ludon understands the true meaning of the promise.

As long as Luton does not cross the bottom line of the Holy Family, does not attack the foundation of the Holy Code, and does not shake the greatness of the Divine State...

Then, as long as Ponger lived, Ludon was guarded by the Holy Law for one day.

This is the promise of a real man.

A promise poured with iron and blood.

A man who values credibility more than his life has made a promise to his long-time allies.

Lutdon believes that Ponger will do what he says.

In the quiet moonlight, Ludon slowly opened the scroll of portraits.

"Sure enough, it's you."

Lu Deng on the oil painting, showing a light smile, quietly looking ahead, with a bit of unearthly indifference and uninhibited, is nine points similar to Lu Deng in front of him.

They just looked at each other as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Long time no see, Mr. Luden."

Luden looked at the scroll in his hand, greeted him cordially, and read out the other party's name,

"Father of the Kingdom of Qiyun, Ludon Bonama."
