281 The winter is here II (2/2)
Benedict was utterly shocked looking at the bright light. In his experience, only the chandeliers powered by life stones could produce brighter light as this bulb, yet Ken achieved this without using a single life stone.
”Now, people don't need torches to light their homes”
Ken finally smiled and caressed the bulb like a baby.
”Go, show this to his majesty!”
Benedict felt very happy about Ken's success and urged him to go meet Don as Ken nodded and ran towards the teleportation array.
*********************
”Ken, are you going to tell me why you ask me to come here?”
Don was flying above Ishikara when Ken suddenly appeared in his castle and asked him to come back to Everlight. But no matter how many times he asked, Ken didn't tell him why as he said it's a surprise. And since he didn't want to spoil Ken's mood by ordering him to reveal his surprise, he and Arrora followed him back to Everlight.
When he reached the backyard of the castle, he saw Knight was already waiting for him with Benedict.
”Did he tell you why he summoned us?”
Knight asked Don when he saw him as Don shook his head.
”He said it's a surprise”
”It's better be a good one, I was training when he brought me here”
Knight looked at Benedict and said.
”You'll be surprised, General Knight, believe me”
Don could see the anticipation and the excitement in Ken's eyes as he ran towards a lever.
”Put out the torches!”
Ken ordered the guards to put out all the torches in the backyard before he placed his hand on the lever.
On this dark night, Ken finally pulled down the lever.
All of a sudden, at the center of the backyard, a bright white light lit up. It would not sway and extinguish in the wind like the light of a candle and it never flickered like fire. Though it could merely light up within a radius of a few meters, a stable light in the wind was something that the people had never seen before.
”I've never seen such a small chandelier”
Knight's mouth opened slightly in surprise as he reached out his hand to touch the bulb above his head.
”Well General Knight, it's not a chandelier, and it's not using a life stone to produce light”
At this moment, even Don was stunned to hear Ken. Even in the divine continent, they used Battle stones to light up chandeliers and only the rich had chandeliers as the commoners used torches, just like in this world.
The fixed look on their faces and the silence of the scene told everything.
He had brought light bulbs that use cheap and affordable Life Energy to this world.
”What does it use then?”
”One of the many types of Life Energy, General Knight, the Electric energy”
