I'm the one running the game

"Secret room?" Lu Xingshi noticed something different at one end of the castle.

He didn't visit the castle on a whim, but planned to memorize the overall structure of the castle in his mind and form a three-dimensional map.

As expected, after collecting the data of the castle, he will have to visit the entire Black Soil Territory to determine whether the series of information given to him by the territorial officer is true, and draw a map of the Black Soil Territory.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident, and he actually found a secret room.

Of course, it is only speculation now, and there is no actual evidence. The reason why he thinks there will be a secret room here is that he found a blank spot through the three-dimensional map of the castle.

It is indeed difficult for a person to find this blank spot that is suspected to be a secret room.

Whether from the outside or from the inside, this secret room will be misled by visual errors. It is not easy for ordinary people to find it.

"Is there any secret?" Lu Xingshi thought about it and it is indeed possible.

The Landon family is not really big, but they are the ministers of the dragon and even opened up a land. It is definitely false to say that they have no secrets.

As for what the secret is, Lu Xingshi doesn't want to guess.

What's the use of guessing? You will know it once you enter.

So you have to find a way to enter the secret room.

Finding someone to break it is indeed not a big problem, but what about after breaking it?

The reason why it is a secret room means that the ancestors of the Landon family deliberately concealed it and did not want to make it public.

Among them, it is either a scandal that the Landon family cannot see the light of day, or some secrets that can bring about a fatal disaster. How could he be so stupid as to let someone open it.

Even if the person who did it is a loyal servant to him, if the human heart is so simple, there will be no intrigue.

After groping for a long time, Lu Xingshi quickly found the key node through various guesses of the mechanism structure.

"Gan, the mechanism of the extraordinary period..." Lu Xingshi's face fell.

Let the thing he least wants to see happen.

The mechanism of the extraordinary period, which means that it is carried out in a similar way to scientific verification.

It's not that Lu Xingshi can't crack it, provided that this thing can still work.

For example, the mechanism is an alchemy that directly moves the entire wall. Now the alchemy fails and it directly becomes a wall. How can Lu Xingshi crack it?

He can only choose to smash it.

So Lu Xingshi must make sure that it is not completely malfunctioning, otherwise he can only smash it.

After a lot of trouble, Lu Xingshi got good news.

That is, the mechanism is not completely using the technology of the extraordinary era, and there are certain physical properties in it, so it can be opened.

The bad news is that it may make a lot of noise when it is opened.

Fortunately, the bad news is not very bad. He is a viscount and has absolute authority in his territory.

"It's better to inform the meeting to avoid problems." Lu Xingshi thought about it. The movement later attracted too many people, and there might be accidents.

After a circle, he found a servant to tell the housekeeper about the matter.

Then the valet came with a group of guards, forming a line of defense to prevent others from entering.

And each of them was very tactful and turned their backs to the secret room to avoid seeing things they shouldn't see.

It must be said that the butler's son has indeed received corresponding training as a valet. When the butler retires in the future, there will be no problem for him to take over the butler.

Lu Xingshi opened the secret room, and before he entered, he smelled a strange stench.

'The ventilation system of the castle needs to be rebuilt... Forget it, when I have money, I will tear down the castle and rebuild it. ' Lu Xingshi closed his sense of smell without changing his face.

The smell did not dissipate so quickly, so he had to bite the bullet and enter it.

What caught his eye was a large number of broken skeletons and some flesh and blood tissues that were so rotten that they could not be seen at all.

"Wizard??" Lu Xingshi was particularly shocked.

One of the ancestors of the Landon family was actually a wizard.

"Is this thing... the essence of earth element? No, it's not the essence of earth element, it's more like the essence of earth element after being purified."

"What a pity, because of time and environment, only the shell is left."

Lv Xingshi put it down and began to look for useful clues.

Soon he found a pile of messy things.

"The Breathing Method of Earth Element? There is a backup of this thing, which is really good news."

"Then there is the Meditation Method of Earth Element, which seems to be the cultivation system of wizards. It seems that the Landon family was not simple at the time."

In addition, there are some miscellaneous things.

For example, alchemy used to purify the essence of earth element, potions that can further nourish the seeds of life, etc.

These things are not mentioned for the time being, because there are no materials and implementation conditions, so they are directly useless.

However, Lu Xingshi also found something that interested him.

That is the blueprint of the Shield of the King of the Earth.

After reading it, Lu Xingshi's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

"Your ancestors were really rich."

"The crystal core of the Earth Dragon King, the essence of the Earth Elemental Demigod, the branches of the sacred tree..."

"In the Age of Gods, it would have been difficult to get these things, but you not only got them, but also made them into the Shield of the Earth King."

"This thing is guaranteed to be a divine weapon."

Lu Xingshi felt that the Langton family was indeed extraordinary. As for why they were only Viscounts? How did Lu Xingshi know?

They don't write history books.

After seeing this series of high-sounding materials that made the Shield of the King of the Earth, Lu Xingshi became more and more determined to get it back from the royal family.

Then, while flipping through the "Earth Elemental Breathing Method", he discovered an interesting thing, that is, the content in the book in his hand was different from the one given to him by the royal family before.

The royal family's copy is more gentle in nature, and the hierarchy is clear and detailed. Even if it fails, there will be no life-threatening danger.

The one obtained from the secret room is more like the first-generation version. It is simple and rough, without any gentle side, only the violent side, and the level is not so clear, a bit similar to the original version.

If the former is an elegant nobleman at a banquet, the latter is a bloody knight on the battlefield.

However, in essence, there are not many changes. It is most likely that successive generations of viscounts of the Langton family have continuously modified it, giving up part of its power and capabilities to ensure safety and clarify their own strength.

"Then I'm going to practice an improved version. Wouldn't it be better to just use the original version?"

As for the changes, they are actually not big, but the safety has decreased and the power has increased.

"And if you use the original version, maybe it will be more suitable for the Shield of the Earth King?" Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of this matter.

After memorizing it all, Lu Xingshi quickly turned to the "Earth Element Meditation Method".

I quickly figured out the wizard's system.

If the knight condenses the seeds of life with his own body, then the wizard condenses the seeds of the soul through his own spirit.

In the end, two different conflicts developed.

There are two types of wizards, one is the white wizard and the other is the black wizard.

How to distinguish is very simple. Look at the soul seeds condensed by the other party. If it has negative properties such as shadow and darkness, it is a black wizard, while if it has positive properties such as light and holiness, it is a white wizard.

It's not because of elemental discrimination, but because the bias of the soul seed will directly affect a person's character.

A kind person, if his soul seed has dark attributes, then he will gradually become cruel and bloody. This is due to changes on the soul level.

It's just that the decline of wizards is more serious than that of knights, because they are more dependent on the environment and energy. Correspondingly, in the extraordinary era, wizards are more powerful than knights.

For example, the alchemy, pharmacy, etc. related in "Earth Element Breathing Method" should actually belong to the domain of wizards.

"Having said that, the decline of wizards is more than that." After Lu Xingshi put down the "Earth Element Meditation Method", he found a simple diary.

It was left behind by an ancestor of the Langton family who became a wizard instead of a knight.

The other party mentioned the witch hunting movement, which further caused the decline of witches, making them an existence that everyone wanted to beat.

And it also wiped out the wizard's inheritance on a large scale.

This is not a good thing, because most of the ones they eliminated were orthodox aristocratic wizards, also known as white wizards.

On the contrary, many dark wizards scattered around the country escaped because they had no clear goals and their character was affected.

As a result, among the wizards circulating today, nine out of ten are dark wizards.

And this is also the reason why the Langton family sealed the secret room in the first place. If people really knew that the Viscount of the Langton family was a wizard, he would really be burned on the rack.

It was just a viscount. It was not like those crazy witch hunters had never killed him before. According to the records, even a duke died because of this.

"There is nothing wrong with the Langton family's breathing methods and meditation methods, and the quality is not low."

"However, whether it is to become a life-stimulating seed or a soul seed, because the quality is too high, the essence of the earth element is required."

"And there are quite a few."

In the past, there was no shortage of nature, but now the level of transcendence is so low that it can be ignored. It is not known whether the earth element is still there.

"If it's artificial, is it possible to succeed?"

Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the alchemy of purifying the essence of the earth element, and coupled with the empty shell of purifying the essence of the earth element, there might be a possibility of success.

"The success rate is not small." After Lu Xingshi checked it, he began to form a plan in his mind, but soon another problem was placed in front of him.

That is, without the support of the main body, the Black Earth Territory alone, even if it has the technology, cannot produce the quantity he needs.

"Lack of money..."

He has the tools to make money, but he doesn’t have the corresponding channels.

Do you really think that the nobles of the kingdom are sheep?
