I'm the one running the game

The news that the Viscount of the Lanton family successfully stimulated the condensation of the seeds of life began to spread in the Black Earth Territory, but it was a bit difficult to get out of the territory.

The main reason was that it was too closed, and the news could only spread within the territory. To get out, it had to rely on the intelligence system or merchants.

However, the Black Earth Territory did not have these two channels.

As for the spies of other nobles... there was no such thing at all.

Who would put a spy in an inconspicuous little Viscount Territory for no reason? He must have a lot of problems in his brain.

There were Viscounts who could get this treatment, but Lu Xingshi certainly could not enjoy it.

Do you really think it is so easy to put spies in? Except for foreign merchants, there are few civilians who leave. For example, those wandering knights, mercenaries, etc., are unlikely to come to his small place.

Even if they come, they will be recognized at a glance.

Poor mobility means that neighbors will know each other, and you, an outsider, will be exposed all of a sudden.

If you want to be qualified to be a spy, the Black Earth Territory needs to develop further.

As for Lu Xingshi, he got on the carriage to the capital.

It was a little embarrassing that the carriage was a little slow, mainly because he brought the Shield of the Earth King. Once the weight of this thing came up, could the carriage be fast?

As a result, the horse was out of breath before leaving the Black Soil Territory.

"Sir, do you think... should we leave the Shield of the Earth King in the treasury for the time being, otherwise..." The chief guard hesitated a lot when he said this.

Now there are three choices, either don't go, which is impossible.

Either put the Shield of the Earth King back, or Lu Xingshi goes by himself.

For the chief guard, there is naturally only one option, that is to put the shield back.

The remaining two options are not good options.

Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched. This matter is indeed abstract. How could he forget the weight of the shield?

Through this incident, he also discovered a very serious problem. As a knight, he must have his own mount. Even with the Shield of the King of the Earth, a normal horse would be difficult to move. If he added a heavy armor in the future, wouldn't it crush the horse to death?

As for how to fight on a horse with a shield, don't worry about it. There are all kinds of fighting skills in the inheritance.

And how did they do it in the past? That was also very simple. In the past, there were even dragons. Why worry about horses that were not strong enough?

How can it be compared with the past now?

"No, I'll go by myself, and you don't have to follow me." Lu Xingshi sighed.

Of course, he wanted to go there safely in a carriage without being exposed to the wind, sun and rain, but there was nothing he could do if the horse was not strong enough.

"Sir, we can follow you on foot, and the carriage can carry the corresponding food and drink for you." The chief guard immediately denied it.

After all, Lu Xingshi is also a nobleman. He has come out, so there is no reason to turn back.

Although even the Black Soil Territory hasn't walked out yet...

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he shook his head: "You don't have such good endurance, forget it."

This is indeed a good suggestion, but in Lu Xingshi's view, it's just a group of drag.

He has walked over there on his own two legs, and if he takes them with him, he must slow down and wait for them.

That's too much trouble.

It is indeed good to take them with him. Someone will take care of his food and daily life on the road. He only needs to be responsible for rushing on the road, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

But slaves are also people. They have to take care of Lu Xingshi's various things after rushing on the road for a day. If they can't bear it and get sick or die, it will be even more troublesome.

So Lu Xingshi directly refused.

Before, they rode horses and Lu Xingshi took a carriage, which was equivalent to letting livestock rush on the road, which was much easier.

"This... Sir, we..." The chief guard was also anxious.

Lu Xingshi interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "That's it, go back."

"Don't worry, don't you see where I come from? Before I became a noble, I was a wandering knight. I've been to more places than you have." Lu Xingshi said, and began to pack some dry food and water he needed. After taking some currency, he left directly.

Seeing Lu Xingshi's decisiveness, the chief guard didn't dare to follow him.

As Lu Xingshi said, he had been in the Black Soil Territory since he was born and rarely left.

Compared with Lu Xingshi, he was indeed much worse.

If he insisted on following him, he would only become a burden.

Moreover, Lu Xingshi was already the fourth great knight of the kingdom, and ordinary small thieves would not be his opponents.

If he really took them on the road, he would have to distract himself to protect them when he met bandits.

"Captain guard, what about us?" A servant asked cautiously.

"Drive the carriage back." The chief guard looked at Lu Xingshi's figure getting farther and farther away, and finally said this.

What else could he do, but he also knew that he would inevitably be scolded by his father when he went back this time.

This was a good opportunity to get closer to Lu Xingshi, but unfortunately he missed it, which would make it more stable for him to take over the position of housekeeper in the future.

But since it has been lost, there is no need to continue to entangle. Looking at Lu Xingshi's attitude, if he really follows him, he might only feel bad instead of good.

On the other side, Lu Xingshi was carrying the shield of the earth king. The reason why he wanted to bring this ancestral shield was because he found that through his own extraordinary seeds, the heart of the earth and the glory of the earth king, he could remove the seal and restore the power of the shield in a way similar to carrying and resonance.

Before, it was +1 for constitution, +1 for defense, +1 for anti-injury. Today, he found that the three attributes became +1.1.

At first, Lu Xingshi thought it was an illusion, but after studying it, it was indeed increased.

Carrying is the basis, and resonance is achieved through breathing and meditation.

So the Shield of the Earth King can be regarded as a growth equipment, which can be gradually grown through the time of carrying and practicing.

However, it also requires extraordinary seeds and glory of sufficient quality.

Not to mention the distant generations of the Lanton family, among the viscounts of recent generations, it is likely that Lu Xingshi is the only one who can meet such harsh conditions.

Lu Xingshi also realized that this process is not only about growth, but also a bit like recognizing the master.

So Lu Xingshi would rather walk over than leave the Shield of the Earth King in the Lanton family treasury.

As for the efficiency of power recovery, he has not tested it yet. After all, the shield has been with him for ten days. It may be +0.1 in ten days, or it may be increased by 10% in ten days.

He preferred the former, after all, this environment really couldn't support recovery by percentage.

The former should be the comprehensive quality formed by extraordinary seeds + glory + breathing method + meditation method + strength, and the latter percentage is definitely not from him, but recovered by absorbing elemental particles through the energy environment.

However, Lu Xingshi did not feel that the surrounding barren energy environment had ever absorbed elemental particles.

There were few in the first place, and if the Shield of the King of the Earth was really stealing, Lu Xingshi would be able to detect it immediately.

"I haven't been out for a long time." Lu Xingshi didn't feel much, just sighed casually.

He is not the kind of person who would think of moving when he is too quiet. If there is no interest or other source of motivation, Lu Xingshi can stay at home in a certain place for hundreds or thousands of years without moving.

"I remember that after leaving the territory, in addition to bandits, there are also things like wild beasts."

Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of this matter.

In his memory, taking the kingdom as an example, in addition to the territory of the nobles, many areas are actually undeveloped wilderness.

In the absence of human interference, the ecology is actually very good.

Hunters, woodcutters, fishermen and other people who make a living by collecting ecological environment are actually serving the nobles.

As long as the ecological resources are divided into the territory, whether they are running on the ground or swimming in the water, they are theoretically the private property of the nobles.

If such people collect and capture, it is against the laws of the kingdom.

However, if they work for the noble lords, they need to hand over most of it, and then keep a small part for their own use.

The same is true for the Black Soil Territory where Lu Xingshi is located, but the ratio is more relaxed, generally 50-50.

This ratio is already dark enough in Lu Xingshi's opinion, after all, hunters are really risking their lives.

But this is already very kind among the nobles, and even when he thought about lowering it a little, he was opposed.

Even the hunters were unwilling. In their opinion, the prey they obtained originally belonged to Lu Xingshi, and Lu Xingshi was very generous to allow them to hunt.

Then, Lu Xingshi didn't say much.

It is precisely because everything in the territory is the private property of the nobles that the economic impetus in the territory is extremely limited.

Moreover, copper coins as currency are not as effective as barter to a certain extent.

He did think about solving it, but many things are contradictory, and it is not something he can solve with just one order.

Moreover, this kind of problem will not cause any major problems in the short term, so it is temporarily shelved.

"The beast will probably not come to provoke me unless it is hungry." After Lu Xingshi condensed the extraordinary seed, the heart of the earth, he had a special aura similar to the radiation field on his body, which was enough to deter the beast.

This aura should be a special structure formed after the life form changes.

Many of the abilities of his heart of the earth are connected to the earth through this structure, and finally obtained the ten effects.

The radiation field structure is the connection channel.

Lu Xingshi also pursued what the source of the channel is, but because he has just condensed the extraordinary seed, he can only interfere with the physical properties, and his observation ability is not enough to pursue it, so he can only give up in the end.

When he is stronger, it will not be too late to explore.

Lu Xingshi suspected that it was related to the Landon family's earth element breathing method and meditation method. Otherwise, they dared to use the earth as a prefix, which must be unique.

However, there was no record in the inheritance, and it was unknown whether the ancestors of the Landon family had not found it or deliberately erased it. Lu Xingshi did not know.
