I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 48 When You Have Fear, Praise My Name

Do you want to sell your soul to Luden?
For El Isha, this multiple-choice question is not difficult.

If you don't make a deal with Luden, let alone the soul, El Isa can't even see the sun of tomorrow.

People are dead, so what's the use of souls?
When all the pressure hit, she was on the verge of collapse, and Luden was the only outlet for her to vent.

Without any hesitation, El Isa's eyes changed from fear to firmness, and she gave her own answer,

"I am willing."

This result did not surprise Luden.

He turned around and walked upstairs, telling Awu to get ready to go out.

Only Al sat on the chair, at a loss, with a dazed expression on his face.

She looked at Luden's back and shouted,
"and then?"

"Then?"

Luden replied naturally,

"Go to the street to buy a decent set of clothes, today is your big day, don't be careless."

Regarding the sense of ritual, Luden has always been very careful.

Before he was hanged last time, he specially entrusted the Queen to send his best hat to prison.

At that time, countless people in the Qiyun Kingdom speculated what the news that Luden had worked so hard to deliver from prison to the Queen was what it was, and could this news change Luden's fate of death?
Nobody knew, he just wanted a nice hat, that's all.

Walking in the streets of Shenbang,
Al held Luden's arm with a natural expression.

Before today, she was Mrs. Vito. Even if Berkeley Vito, as a believer in love, had never touched her, the superficial work that should be done would not be missed.

However, after the divorce contract, El Isha regained her freedom.

For the first time in her life, she enjoyed the last happiness of a condemned prisoner—freedom.

Freedom to do whatever you want.

Death is the greatest punishment for her. Apart from death itself, she has no fear of the world.

If she is still the member of the Holy Family, Mrs. Vito,
When Luden offered to trade her soul, she would definitely refuse directly.

This symptom of Al is also called clinically-letting oneself go.

Al, who let himself go, is a little less pretentious and reserved than before, and has more agility and liveliness unique to girls.

They visited two tailor shops, but they didn't choose the clothes they liked, Al said quietly,
"A good dress must be custom-made in advance."

Luden nodded perfunctorily,
"Okay, before the Heresy Tribunal comes to the door next time, I will let them make an appointment in advance."

Al was speechless.

The sun was high, so they simply found a nearby restaurant and settled for lunch easily.

After eating and drinking, Al, who was sitting on the sofa, changed a comfortable position and snuggled into Luden's arms, like a lazy cat taking a nap.

After all, she couldn't hold her breath anymore and asked in a low voice,

"What should I do?"

Now that he decided to make a deal with Luden, Al of course understood that it was not as simple as talking about it.

The other party will save him, and what Luden promised has been done.

Al wanted to know exactly what it would cost to sell his soul.

"You don't have to do anything."

Lu Deng was very calm and said calmly,
"You just need to live and witness this turbulent and magnificent era. This will be the greatest era of the Kingdom of God. How do you say that to make the Kingdom of God great again!
You'll know when you really need to do something. "

Under the pressure of the Inquisition, it is not difficult for Luden to save Al, and he has already prepared relevant plans.

The Holy Family seems to have abandoned Al, but in fact, this is a test for Luden.

If Luden couldn't even protect Al, the deal with the Holy Family would naturally be impossible to continue. He didn't have the ability, you know.

Luden had to prove that he was really capable of solving the big trouble of the Heresy Trial for the Holy Family.

In fact, as long as you stand from the perspective of a bystander, you can easily analyze the pros and cons and judge the situation clearly. It is not difficult to draw a conclusion: Luden must save Al.

In other words, even if Al rejected Luden's deal before, Luden would still intervene in this matter with lame excuses like "woman, you managed to attract my attention".

Luden didn't need Al to do anything, he just needed a subtle change in Al's mentality.

Since he couldn't choose the gown he liked, Lu Deng took the next best thing and started to take Al to choose the twisted rope.

Al: .
Luden doesn't do anything related to people.

In the shop selling ropes, Luden talked eloquently and logically,
"There are many kinds of ropes. Choosing a good rope can help you relieve a lot of pain. Do you know that many people who were hanged did not die of suffocation. The cause of death by hanging has always been an unsolved mystery. In my personal opinion From experience, I prefer death from cerebral ischemia to asphyxiation."

Very good, Al has learned another cold knowledge that is not useful at all.

After picking out the twisted rope, Luden glanced at Al again, and said,
"Go back and change your clothes. Don't hang yourself in a skirt."

Al smiled bleakly, "Where are you going?"

She no longer has a home.

At Luden's house, there was no suitable dress either.

Thus, Al once again saw Luden's powerful social skills at dinner parties.

He walked to the nearest manor, asked someone to say hello to the hostess politely, and the other party warmly welcomed Luden into the manor.

After a cloudy hour, a somewhat tired Luden left the manor with a complete, decent and suitable dress.

Al, who was sitting on the side of the road and witnessed all this, could not describe his complicated mood in words.

After finishing the rope and dress, Luden took Al and Awu back to the small building, quietly waiting for the passage of time.

Al was a little restless and at a loss for what to do.

She simply got into the kitchen and started working on dinner.

Her cooking skills can't be said to be bad, it can only be said to be unpalatable.

After throwing away all the food, Lu Deng asked Awu to go to the street to buy three more, and the three of them avoided the ending of starvation.

Not long after dinner, there was a knock on the door of the small building.

When the person wearing the mask of the strange bird appeared in front of Al again, her body trembled slightly, fear fell instantly, and every cell in her body was howling and crying.
The illusion of peaceful years was ruthlessly shattered, and the twisted rope in the opponent's hand seemed to be killing a ghost.

It chases, she runs, and it is impossible to escape with wings.

The time of death is approaching.

Luden's performance was much better than Al's.

After all, it was not he who was to be hanged.

He wasn't on the hang list, he was just a melon-eating crowd passing by with champagne.

Luden looked at the mask of the strange bird. This was the first time he had dealt directly with the people of the Inquisition. Luden nodded slightly to him, and the other party returned the salute.

The rudeness, arrogance and cruelty of the Inquisition are only aimed at the Holy Family and the demons.

They are still very kind to law-abiding citizens like Luden.

Luden asked,
"Can you give us time to say one last word?"

The person under the mask of the strange bird nodded and agreed to Luden's request.

Al looked at Luden. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were crazily signaling to Luden:
help me!help me!
Luden stepped forward, stuffed a note into her hand, and whispered,

"The way of salvation lies within."

Al's eyes lit up, and he wanted to read the contents of the note, but was stopped by Luden again.

"Look at it at the last moment before execution, otherwise it won't work."

Although Al was very itchy, he knew better that the other party might just be teasing him.

but,

Al still resisted the impulse, clutching the note tightly in his hand.

"Relax."

Luden adjusted the angle of the top hat for her, and said thoughtfully,
"It will look better if you look at it from below."

Luden was obviously more experienced than Ayer in the matter of hanging on the gallows.

"As if it's a big show, when the spotlight falls and you're the only one, take it easy and keep your shoulders low."

This is Luden's personal experience and words from the bottom of his heart.

Al: .
She didn't understand why human beings could say such cold words?

Al often wonders, is Luden really a human?

What did he go through that made him look like this, walking around the world like a demon in human skin.

Luden took a step forward, with a slight smile on his face, he opened his arms and hugged Al gently.

I only heard Luden whispering in her ear,

"In times of fear, sing my name."
