I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 8 The Republic of God

The Qiyun Kingdom is dead?
Hearing this, Lu Deng was unusually lonely.

He is the founder of the Qiyun Kingdom, he once fought for his ideals, once crowned the queen, and once got drunk at the founding ceremony
Giving blessings is just a trivial contribution he made casually.

Even if he was hanged by the people of Qiyun Kingdom, Lu Deng never complained.

It can be said that this is the most idealized, romantic and devoted journey among Luden's three simulations.

therefore,

When he heard the word 'dead',
The beating heart twitched as if it had been stabbed by a needle.

The twitching pain disappeared quickly.

But this memory and emotion will accompany Lu Deng for the rest of his life.

In a sleepless night, in a prayer, in a moment of solitude, the feeling comes suddenly and recedes like a tide.

From then on, Luden was afraid of silence, loneliness and sobriety.

He tilted his head back and downed a glass of wine, his eyes dim.

If you die, you die.

In the world, is there an immortal dynasty?

The rain outside the window is the funeral of Qiyun Kingdom.

Rain, wine, sad men.

Neither fine wine nor beauties can heal the scars on the softest part of his heart.

Luden knew that tonight was a difficult night.

The next day Luden awoke from the soft velvet with a headache and hunger.

"Go, my husband is back."

Before Luden could see the arrangement in front of him clearly, he was stuffed with a pile of clothes in his arms and pushed away.

Fortunately, Luden is quite familiar with such things.

He jumped out of the window, walked through the bushes, climbed over the fence, and returned to the main street of the town to take a serious look at this new world.

On the street, there are no carriages, no telephone poles, and no street lights!
The last one is definitely good news.

Lu Deng basically judged that the technological level of this era, in terms of the earth, belongs to the level of BC.

There are ironware and bronzeware, and the currency in circulation includes gold coins and silver coins.
Thinking of this, Luden touched his wallet, and his face suddenly became a little strange.

This feeling, or 800 grams?
Not right!

He treated guests to drinks last night, obviously spending a big gold coin!

Could it be that he was exploited again?

Luden admitted that he really likes whoring for nothing, who doesn't like free things?
But he doesn't like being exploited!

As a disseminator of blessings, he has always been the only one who exploits others, how can anyone else exploit him!
This account has been registered!

Sooner or later, I will return it!
He wandered the streets, looked at the customs, and learned about the local conditions.

The town is called Shalia Town, which means a place of happiness and beauty in the proverb.

The small town of Xialia belongs to the Republic of God, and the Republic is controlled by the Senate, with positions such as consuls and high priests.

The town is dominated by humans, and only a small number of goblins and elves can be seen in the slave market.

That's right,

The Republic of Gods regressed back to slavery.

Slavery, diabolical slavery!

For Luden, the evangelist, slavery is the most abhorrent system.

What blessings can slaves enjoy?

die?
In the last simulation, Luden clearly realized:
Freedom is the greatest blessing for slaves!

After spending half a day, Luden visited the whole town.

At noon, he ate a black pepper steak with baked potatoes in the bistro.

Due to the experience last night, the enthusiastic boss insisted on waiving the order.

Luden also had a general understanding of the prices through the conversations with other people on the menu.

Currencies are divided into four categories: 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.

1 large gold coin is approximately equal to 19.2 silver coins, which is 384 meters.

100 meters is enough to buy rations, enough to feed a family of three for half a month.

To be honest, if these numbers were listed on paper, just looking at them would make people dizzy and drowsy.

1: 12: 240.
This anti-human accounting system actually existed in history.

Hawkers on the side of the road often make miscalculations, so buying and selling is often a one-off price.

The Republic of God has many shortcomings: cumbersome currency system, backward slavery, unrestrained women.
but,

There was one thing Luden liked very much.

The Republic of Shenbang is a place that respects the law extremely!

The Senate ordered that all legal provisions be engraved on stone slabs and erected in the center of the city for everyone to read and study.

Anyone with supervisory rights can testify in law enforcement teams/courts by sworn to the slate!
It's just that it takes a lot of hard work to understand the words on the slate and understand the specific meaning of the legal provisions.

A country that respects the law is undoubtedly the best starting point for Luden!

After entering the simulation world for so long, this is his second happiness.

then,

Throughout the afternoon, Luden stood in the square, carefully reading the code on the slate, greedily absorbing every word in it.

This learning is such a beautiful thing.

What is engraved on the code is not only the rules and regulations that restrict people's words and deeds, but also the history of the Republic of God and the thoughts of the Senate
The slate in front of Luden is his first stepping stone towards success.

As the sun went down, Luden looked at the code of law for an entire afternoon like a sculpture, until someone spoke to him.

A member of the law enforcement team stepped forward and saluted Luden.

"Hello, strange adventurer, if allowed, please let me call you that."

"Hello, you can call me Mr. Lu."

Luden followed suit and politely replied,
"May I ask which article of the Code I have violated?"

The members of the law enforcement team quickly waved their hands and explained,
"No, don't get me wrong, Mr. Lu, we had a drink together last night. I mean, the law enforcement officer in this town heard about your arrival and wanted to invite you to dinner."

The law enforcement officer is the highest-ranking chief executive of the small town of Xialia, who holds part of the judicial and administrative powers, and has no military power in his hands.
An excellent lawman, a popular replacement for members of the Senate.

Once those old guys die, law enforcement officers will immediately run for election to fill the vacancies.

Lu Deng naturally had no reason to refuse the other party's invitation.

"this way please."

Members of the law enforcement team walked ahead to lead Luden the way.

At this time, the night was a little dark, and the scenery on both sides could not be seen clearly.

Luden always felt that this place seemed somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it, since he has visited the whole town, it is reasonable for him to be familiar.

"It's here."

Lu Deng was led to a small building.

His gaze, over the fence, over the bushes, fell on the somewhat imposing villa.

Luden is sure of one thing:

He jumped out of the second window on the left this morning.
