Looking at his face under the candlelight, Leonardo da Vinci secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had always worried that Mr. Ludon and Brando's Godfather were the same person, so wouldn't he be caught in the net?

Fortunately, the godfather of Brando dispelled Leonardo da Vinci's concerns with practical actions.

He kissed the back of his godfather's hand, and at his father's arrangement, he lived in an attic where a down-and-out painter had lived.

After Leonardo da Vinci left, Hannibal looked in the direction of the door and sighed helplessly.

This young man is still too young!

Eaten to death by Mr. Ludon.

Everything tonight was expected by Mr. Ludon, and even the fact that the other party would ask him to take off his mask, Mr. Ludon guessed.

In fact, Hannibal also raised doubts.

Taking off the mask so easily and facing Da Vinci with his true face is a little bit of a desire to cover up.

Ludden's explanation for this is simple,

"Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they bear fruit."

Leonardo da Vinci doubted the relationship between Luton and Brando's godfather, and with his talent and character, sooner or later he would discover the truth.

Ludon doesn't need to lie to Leonardo da Vinci for the rest of his life, he only needs to lie to him for a while.

Let this genius settle down for a while, and that's enough.

Leonardo da Vinci and his fellow artists settled in the fog in various forms.

Their experience is just a microcosm of the times.

Without the Divine Empire, the entire continent was plunged into endless wars.

Naturally, people yearn for a more peaceful and prosperous life, and more and more people are taking refuge in the small United Kingdom.

They brought machinery, production experience, labor, wealth to the small United Kingdom.

At the same time, the Age of Discovery is gradually moving towards a new climax.

Fleets of ships set sail, some to buy and sell goblins, some to open colonies, and others to continue their search for the New World.

Another year has passed.

An urgent telegram, which broke the quiet atmosphere of the company, convened an emergency meeting.

The moderator of the meeting, who is also now the CEO, Albert.

Today, most of the company's affairs are handled by Albert, who is responsible for coordinating the operation of the entire company in addition to his own individual laboratory.

For Albert, Ludon gave 100 percent confidence.

The reason for this emergency meeting is also simple:

"A new disease is spreading in the South, both chronic and acute, contagious."

After a brief introduction to the characteristics of the disease, Albert looked solemn,

"We found the name of this disease in the ancient books of Qiyun - tuberculosis."

Tuberculosis is an ancient disease.

At least for today's human civilization.

Albert warns the crowd,

"If left unchecked, tuberculosis will kill a tenth of the fog, no, a quarter of the people."

Also a doctor, Hannibal clearly knew the horror of the disease.

He showed a rare display of humanity, looked at Mr. Ludon with a solemn gaze, and asked tentatively,

"Is it possible to use Qiyun's technology to solve this disease?"

Without waiting for Ludon to answer, Awu returned coldly,

"If you ask Qiyun for help, you have to accept everything from Qiyun." …

Accept everything from Qiyun.

Qiyun's doomsday pastoral school requires people to return to the barbaric pastoral life, not to develop any technology, and to live ignorant, chaotic, and primitive life.

In their opinion, only in this way will humanity escape the end of its own destruction.

Hannibal withdrew his gaze, understanding what the other man meant.

The Eternals refused to use Qiyun Technology for an illness, even if they had the ability.

To be precise, it was the empress who refused.

At such times, Hannibal could not help but think, Mr. Ludon is arguing!

Your family, is it the empress who has the final say, or are you the ones who have the final say?!

Albert didn't pin his hopes on Qiyun either.

"We are studying this disease and need more experimental sample data, but this data is difficult to collect and the south side is too far away for us"

"I can help with that."

Awu, who had previously refused to help, changed his tune.

The people present were all their own people, and Awu did not have the habit of speaking secretly.

He said bluntly,

"I was able to contract this disease and analyze the cause of death by adjusting my physical condition, accelerating the disease progression, showing symptoms of various stages of onset, and providing autopsy."

All:???

Even if they knew some of the characteristics of the Eternals, everyone felt a chill when they heard these words come out of Awu's mouth without emotion.

Instead, it was Ludon, who was not surprised.

He had already said that the Eternals and humans were two different species, and they had completely different views and approaches to many things.

Ah Wu can't change the empress's opinion, and he can't use Qiyun Technology in violation of regulations.

However, as an eternal, there is enough he can do on his own.

With Awu's help, if you want to solve the tuberculosis, the progress should be much faster.

Before Albert continued the proceedings, Mr. Luden, who had been silent, spoke coldly,

"We are a medical company."

This sentence set the tone for the whole thing, and also reduced a lot of resistance to what Albert was going to do next.

Luden's message is clear: we are a medical company, and we have to fight disease.

If tuberculosis is overcome, they will sell drugs cheaply and in large quantities to save patients, rather than hoarding goods and taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

This was also what Albert had in mind.

It's just that Albert's original intention is not the same as Luden's.

Luton did this for a simple reason: only the living would continue to consume.

He needs more markets, more consumers, because his company is still producing goods

Everything is business.

Albert continued,

"In the face of tuberculosis, the company advises everyone to leave the densely populated cities and go to the countryside to self-isolate for a period of time, because the fatality rate of this disease is very high"

Everyone present is the company's shareholders and backbone.

If anyone dies of tuberculosis, it is a loss for the company.

Albert's warning can also be regarded as a kind of company welfare.

After the emergency meeting, the shareholders got the word out.

The first to leave the fog capital was the old king, and it is rumored that His Majesty the king is already in poor health and should not be able to survive this winter.

Then, the lord also went to the country manor to escape the plague, and he also invited Ludon to join him, but Ludon politely refused.

Ludon plans to take advantage of this hard-won vacation to do something more exciting.

Like the moon landing!

On this day, Luden, who was enjoying an early retirement on the moon, received a letter from the lord.

Unwrapping the envelope, the words of the lord jumped into his eyes, and the corners of Luden's mouth were slightly hooked.

The letter reads:

"Mr. Luden, an apple smashed on my head, and I couldn't help but start thinking."
