I'm the one running the game

"Through the rhythm and frequency of one's own breathing, the body resonates to stimulate life force and condense into the so-called life seed."

"The rhythm and frequency of breathing and the substances required to be ingested are different, and the condensed life seeds are also different in strength and nature."

Lv Xingshi summarized this book "Earth Element Breathing Method".

"Breathing is not a big problem, but what the hell is the substance ingested..."

To practice "Earth Element Breathing Method", not only does one need enough physique to keep up with the rhythm and frequency of breathing, but also needs to ingest earth element items, such as the essence of earth element used to condense life seeds.

A whole small earth element is needed to make it, and the book also describes how to make it, but the question is where can he find the earth element?

This thing may even be extinct.

And it is recorded in the book that the knight who gave birth to the life seed is actually a real knight.

Now these knights who have not given birth to the life seed are called knight squires in the book, which is similar to the nature of apprentices.

To learn from a real knight until he activates the life seed or is abandoned by the knight because he thinks he has no knight potential.

As for the Great Knight in the book, he can further grow the seed of life and can form external fighting spirit with the breathing method.

Above that is the Champion Knight, whose fighting spirit can be condensed into a powerful spirit, which is probably similar to momentum, pressure and the like, and it will also have a physical body.

According to the previous data analysis, it stands to reason that there are still levels above the Champion Knight, but it comes to an abrupt end.

The potential of this breathing method is very good in Lu Xingshi's opinion, but it can be determined that it is at most a castrated version.

Fortunately, the castration is the latter part, and the previous four stages of squire, knight, great knight, and champion knight are not a problem.

"But it's not cruel enough. If it were me, I would directly cut it down to only the squire and knight. Anyway, most people now have no way to condense the seed of life."

Lu Xingshi took a look and found that he was barely at the stage of the knight's squire. His physical strength was not enough to bear the breathing method, so he needed to continue to improve his physical strength.

In the book, there are naturally records of ways to quickly improve the physical strength in the squire stage to adapt to the breathing method. In addition to training the body and taking in enough nutrients, there are also potions.

This book is said to be a knight's breathing method, but it is actually a complete inheritance, including a series of knowledge such as alchemy, pharmacy, enchantment, etc.

"The inheritance has not been lost, but the raw materials are basically extinct..." Lu Xingshi was quite speechless.

Whether it is alchemy, pharmacy, or enchantment, etc., what is needed are extraordinary creatures or extraordinary plants, but these things are basically dead.

Even if there are, Lu Xingshi may not be able to find them. You must know that he does not have luck this time.

So don't think about having such good luck.

"No wonder there are only three knights in the entire kingdom who can condense life seeds."

"Environmental factors and resource factors. The more advanced the breathing method is, the more demanding the environment and resources it requires."

"Physical fitness is easy to improve. It only takes a period of time. I can completely develop a nutrient solution suitable for myself."

"But without the essence of earth element, don't even think about using the "Earth Element Breathing Method" to condense life seeds." Lu Xingshi is also distressed.

More importantly, it requires more than one earth element essence, at least ten, and the best effect requires 99,990,000, so that one's life seed can reach the highest level of earth element.

According to the records, the ability attached to the life seed of the ancestors of the Landon family was not the power of earth element, but the power of earth element.

"I don't know if there is any in the family treasury... Well, even if there is, it was all taken away by the previous viscount, so how could it be left for me."

Lu Xingshi thought so, but he also asked the butler to take him to the Landon treasury to take a look.

He didn't have too much hope.

How to say the Landon family treasury, it is indeed empty and there is nothing.

"Sir Viscount, are you coming to the treasury to find out if there is any earth element essence?" The butler guessed Lu Xingshi's idea.

Before, when Lu Xingshi was reading "Earth Element Breathing Method" in the study, he vaguely guessed it.

Now he has to go to the treasury again, and it is likely that he can only find earth element essence.

"Anything else?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"There was another copy in the treasury before, but it was given away as a gift by the previous Viscount."

"But I remember that the Landon family's Earth King Shield was inlaid with a copy as a family emblem, but..." The housekeeper hesitated at this point.

"But what?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"The Earth King Shield was previously presented to the royal family by the previous Viscount as the price for the transfer of the title."

"The current Earth King Shield is not in the Black Soil Territory." When the housekeeper said this, he actually felt bad.

The Earth King Shield is the symbol of the Landon family, and it is also a powerful treasure that fits the "Earth Element Breathing Method". Now it has fallen into the hands of the royal family.

"Wait, it's not just the Earth King Shield, he also sent the "Earth Element Breathing Method" at the beginning." Lu Xingshi discovered a blind spot.

Otherwise, why would this breathing method be given to him along with the Kingdom Book instead of him taking it himself.

"Yes, this is... a necessary procedure." said the steward.

At this time, Lu Xingshi discovered that he had been tricked by his ex.

He can be sure that the original "Earth Element Breathing Method" is absolutely complete, but it passed through the hands of the royal family and then became incomplete.

"What does he want?" Lu Xingshi was extremely puzzled.

"The new Viscount said that this was to free him from the decadence of the nobility and allow him to be more free in his art." When the butler said this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

If you want to get rid of it, get rid of it. Why do you have to step on it?

What's more important is that his behavior is tantamount to turning everything that the ancestors have worked hard into a phantom.

Fortunately, there is still one person in the Langton family who can inherit, otherwise the entire Black Earth Territory will be taken back by the kingdom.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he felt his blood pressure rise.

What kind of stupid thing is this?

He is still free. Without his status as a noble, he might not even be able to afford food.

"I understand. Is there any way to get the Shield of the Earth King and the original "Earth Elemental Breathing Method" back from the royal family?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"Yes, but we can't afford it."

"According to the law, if you want to redeem something, you need at least 100,000 gold coins, and the royal family may not be willing to give it. We need to spend more wealth. If you add it up, it may cost 400,000 or even 500,000. "The steward said an astronomical figure.

Lu Xingshi only felt that the previous Viscount was really a scammer, and the royal family was indeed dark enough.

It seems to be giving you hope, but in fact it is telling you euphemistically that it is impossible.

"So there is no hope for the earth element essence, right." Lu Xingshi felt that the start was really miserable.

And this is not Lu Xingshi's fault. If Lu Xingshi meets the former Viscount again, he will be hung up and beaten, and then he will be asked to clean toilets for the rest of his life.

"It's not that there is no chance. If you, Lord Viscount, can get enough credit and upgrade your title to earl, you may be able to get it back from the royal family." The butler said seriously: "Of course, if you don't upgrade your title, there will be enough benefits to impress the royal family. OK."

"Let's talk about this later." Lu Xingshi didn't care about the opponent's methods at all. The start was a bit unfavorable, but it wasn't impossible for him to survive.

But Lu Xingshi quickly thought that his previous glory entries needed the Shield of the Earth King to be activated.

There is no need to take back the "Earth Elemental Breathing Technique". After all, by the time he reaches the Champion Knight level, he might have gone somewhere wrong.

But you must take the Shield of the Earth King if you have the chance, because it involves a piece of combat power.

"I remember that the kingdom has been without war for many years, right?" Lu Xingshi suddenly asked again.

In fact, the way to get it back is not only the credit and benefits mentioned by the steward, but also another way, and that is war.

"Yes, I don't know the specific situation. If you want to know more, you need a consultant." The housekeeper is really unclear about the external situation.

The Black Earth Territory is more like a small closed kingdom, with extremely limited information, and its understanding of the outside world may not be as good as the previous and current viscounts.

After all, it was still in the feudal period.

The position of advisor is similar to that of military advisor or staff officer. However, the problem is that in a remote area like Black Earth Territory, there are no scholars at all, and no one is willing to come.

"Well, I understand." Lu Xingshi thought that the consultant was not that easy to recruit.

Compared with territorial officers, consultants cannot be passed down from ancestors and are more like recruited employees. Moreover, if an advisor is recruited who is incompetent or has ulterior motives, it will be a disaster for the territory.

So Lu Xingshi would rather not have it than just find one.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work while I take a walk around the castle." Lu Xingshi said.

Then he left the treasure house.

He naturally lives in a castle. A castle made entirely of stone is not as beautiful as he imagined. It is cramped and damp at the same time, and there is no lighting at all.

Everything is prepared to ensure safety, not those gorgeous castles.

There are castles that are gorgeous, livable and equipped with strong security. However, as a viscount, he simply does not have the qualifications and financial resources to enjoy these.

However, the entire castle is actually not small, and can accommodate a large amount of food, water, soldiers, servants, and the entire Langton family.

At the limit, a thousand people can survive in it for a year.

I can't guarantee the quality of life, but I can just live.

Lu Xingshi thought about expanding and renovating the entire castle, intending to accommodate the entire black soil territory and turn it into a castle similar to a manor.

But think about it now, there is no money to implement it.
