I'm the one running the game

Lu Xingshi flipped through the royal family's collection of books. Originally he just wanted the breathing and meditation methods of the earth element. Now that he can read them all, Lu Xingshi definitely doesn't have a choice.

However, he discovered that the quality of the breathing methods and meditation methods in the royal collection varied greatly, including original versions and refined versions.

Especially the meditation method. Obviously, the original witch hunting movement did not completely interrupt the progress of the wizards. At least here, you can still see some similar to the refined version of the meditation method.

However, at the level of intensive cultivation, it is not as good as the breathing method.

And according to his speculation, the meditation method has not improved for many years, which means that the development of wizards has stalled.

Think about it, after all, it can't be put on the surface.

This kind of meditation method is actually placed in a secret place in the book collection. If you want to browse it, you will basically not be able to find it without someone to guide you.

Of course he can find Lu Xingshi, but he has someone with him, so there is no need to sneak around, just look through it.

In addition, he also discovered that both meditation and breathing methods require elemental particles. For example, those "Barbarian Ox Breathing Method" and "Blood Vine Meditation Method" are not extraordinary methods prefixed with elements. The content is only to condense the extraordinary seeds.

However, the difficulty of condensing extraordinary seeds is much lower than those handed down extraordinary elemental methods.

This means that this kind of extraordinary method belongs to the new generation, so there is no follow-up method.

The reason is simple, because this kind of method has no way out.

It cannot pass through the energy environment externally, and it does not absorb enough internally, so it will enter a dead end after success.

It is equivalent to sacrificing all the future in exchange for stepping into the extraordinary level.

And there is no possibility of further progress in the future.

Unless they find a new path on their own.

Moreover, people who use this new generation's breathing and meditation methods to condense extraordinary seeds have no way to obtain the corresponding extraordinary abilities.

Extraordinary abilities require the combination of elements. If they don't take in enough elements, they will naturally be gone.

Therefore, Lu Xingshi is not very interested in this new generation of extraordinary people.

All the books in the entire royal library were quickly read by Lu Xingshi as he flipped through them.

With his strength, it is not difficult to have a photographic memory and observe monuments at a glance.

You can memorize them all with just one glance.

I have to say that the kingdom is a bit small, but its foundation is really not small at all.

The earth element breathing method and meditation method he originally needed alone totaled nearly a hundred books, but most of them were breathing methods, and there were relatively few meditation methods.

He also saw the "Earth Element Breathing Method" of the Langton family, but it was just a refined version. Lu Xingshi took it back after his predecessor, Viscount Langton, handed it over. What is here is just a copy.

As for the "Earth Element Meditation Method", of course there is no more.

This kind of breathing method and meditation method are similar to complete sets. Lu Xingshi also obtained several sets from here, with various elements.

It can only be said that it is very complete.

With this knowledge as a supplement, Lu Xingshi can then start to create his own breathing and meditation methods.

"Lord Viscount Langton, the king is already waiting for you." The royal advisor who brought Lu Xingshi spoke immediately after he read the book.

It was obvious that the king had successfully verified the authenticity of alchemy and successfully created a small earth element essence. Otherwise, it was not the royal adviser who said that the king was waiting for him, but the kingdom's guards came to 'protect' him.

"Well, I understand, take me to see the king." Lu Xingshi did not embarrass this royal adviser, who was just a working man.

Following the other party, he met the king again.

But this time the king wasn't the only one there, the queen was also there.

When Lu Xingshi saw the queen for the first time, he felt strange.

Compared with the king who is just a short and fat middle-aged man, the queen is a tall and exquisite woman.

Of course, appearance is not the important point for Lu Xingshi. The important point is that Lu Xingshi has a strange feeling that the other person seems to be wearing skin.

And he could detect the active spiritual power in the queen.

'Wizard's apprentice? ’ Lu Xingshi immediately confirmed the other party’s situation: ‘With this kind of exponential spiritual power, he is preparing to stimulate the condensed soul seeds. ’

‘And this should not be her original appearance, but a change caused by some kind of witchcraft or witchcraft, similar to the skin of a painting. ’

Lu Xingshi quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

"Viscount Langton, I am very satisfied with your alchemy." The king spoke first.

He didn't know what Lu Xingshi was thinking in his mind. After all, Lu Xingshi only took one look at it. How could he have imagined that Lu Xingshi could observe so many things.

"Thank you, His Majesty the King, for your appreciation." Lu Xingshi responded.

"Your reward has been prepared for you, Earl Langton, and Knight Langton..." The king said with a smile, stood up and presented a series of things to Lu Xingshi.

As for the rituals, there are definitely no more, just keep everything simple.

The beautiful queen didn't move too much from beginning to end, just sitting next to the king like a wooden figure.

She didn't care about Lu Xingshi at all and didn't pay too much attention. She just came to witness the ceremony.

It wasn't until the king granted Lu Xingshi the right to develop that the queen's eyes changed slightly.

It is easy to grant rights, but it is not that simple to get them back.

There are not many noble lords who still have the right to explore.

Those who have it are either dukes or marquises, and Lu Xingshi, a viscount... oh, now it should be an earl, actually has one.

There must be more than what can be exchanged for with the small earth element essence alchemy. The queen's eyes fell on the short and fat king.

If someone really despises the king just by looking at his appearance, the end will definitely be very miserable.

So in the queen's opinion, the king has some plans for the mountains in the north of the Black Earth Territory.

This chess piece is Earl Lanton, who has just been promoted to the Earl's family, especially since the other party is already a great knight of the kingdom.

"Not bad, what a great guy!" The king praised.

Lu Xingshi was speechless after hearing this. At his age, he is more than enough to be your great grandfather.

Still a young man.

But he didn't show it. He was taking advantage of the situation, and he still had to have the necessary qualities.

"Your Majesty, when can I get the heavy armor in the reward?"

"Armor, weapons and mounts are the life of a knight. I can't wait to get my second life." Lu Xingshi said immediately.

"Hahaha, Earl Lanton, you are worthy of being a wandering knight. You know much more about the knight's code than the noble knight."

"Many noble knights now, they, alas." The king sighed, his tone was helpless.

The nobles in the kingdom have actually shown symptoms of decay. The original nobles were actually full of martial virtues.

However, with the establishment of the kingdom, the nobles turned from knights to lords, and their military strength declined a lot, coupled with the class solidification and family-style lord inheritance system.

This makes nine out of ten nobles in the kingdom corrupt.

People like Lu Xingshi belong to the minority.

There is definitely a sense of ambition, but the so-called ambition is mostly based on conspiracy and intrigue, which is the kind that cannot be put on the table.

Lu Xingshi was deeply touched by this. Conspiracies can be planned for a short time, but open plans can be planned for the whole life.

If you want to achieve great things, you have to be upright.

Of course, you also have to combine the right and the strange and use them flexibly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We have to believe in the wisdom of future generations!" Lu Xingshi said nonsense.

As for the current development of the kingdom, although it has not reached the sunset and the west, there are already signs of decline.

The king wants to save it, but he is actually a little powerless.

If he really believes in the wisdom of future generations, I am afraid there will be no future generations.

The king was also amused and helpless about Lu Xingshi's words.

The wisdom of future generations may be useful, but it can't save him now.

Not to mention that he only has one daughter, and her personality is not suitable for being a queen. However, he has only one heir, and he has to go no matter how unsuitable he is.

So he needs to choose enough loyal supporters for his daughter.

Lu Xingshi is very suitable. He is a powerful lord and a great knight of the kingdom. The title and territory are a little smaller. If he can become a grand duke and have a territory of the nature of a duchy, it will be very suitable.

Such a young man only needs a little guidance to make him loyal to the entire kingdom and the royal family.

Especially since he still has hatred for Grand Duke Hepa, he only needs to further stimulate the conflict to make the entire Lanton family a royal faction and unable to leave.

Otherwise, how could he be so decisive in giving Lu Xingshi the right to open up? Naturally, he was paving the way for his daughter.

As for his daughter's husband? This will definitely not choose Lu Xingshi. He will only choose a powerless and cowardly person as an assistant to avoid being usurped by the throne in the future.

The king actually felt that his body was getting worse day by day. Even if he took the best medicine, he could not recover, and he could not even stop this weakness.

He understood that his life was coming to an end.

"Yes, the wisdom of future generations is indeed endless." The king responded to Lu Xingshi. He certainly couldn't refute it openly, after all, Lu Xingshi's words were not wrong.

Even though he was a king, he followed the same political correctness as ordinary people, but more.

He had to pay more attention to his words and deeds on weekdays.

Not every ruler, like Lu Xingshi, could do whatever he wanted by relying on luck and strength.

"Okay, Earl Langton, the second life you want is ready for you."

"It's in the royal treasury, there must be what you want!" The king patted Lu Xingshi's shoulder, but because of his body shape, he looked a little funny when he patted.

But Lu Xingshi did not despise him. He could see that this king was not a simple person.

Especially when he was pretending to be nice to him.
