I'm the one running the game

"The frost giant is indeed magnificent. I will accept the gift from Earl Lanton." The king looked at the huge skeleton.

In his eyes, the skeleton was indeed majestic, but the gold foil and gold and silver jewelry on the outer layer were indeed very rough, which destroyed the overall sense of perception.

But it doesn't matter. It is precisely because of the roughness that the king thinks that Lu Xingshi is loyal.

Even if there is nothing in his territory, he has to offer the best to the king. Isn't this a loyal minister?

It is impossible to return. The king thought to himself that he would remove all the gold and silver jewelry on the outer layer of the skeleton and then repaint it himself.

When it is placed in the hall as a decoration, it will definitely become a highlight.

"In addition to this frost giant, does Earl Lanton bring me anything else?" The king asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Earl also asked us to write you a letter." As he said, Lu Xingshi's chief guard hurriedly took out the personal letter.

Lu Xingshi must not only give gifts, then what is the use of it.

I have to write a letter to sell my misery as a reason to ask for something, otherwise what will the king do if he pretends to be confused.

But he wrote it very well. He didn't directly say how miserable he was or how poor he was, nor did he ask for anything openly. Instead, he used various words to praise the other party in the letter.

It would be pleasing to the eye at first glance, but after reading it, I would have a feeling that Earl Lanton was poor and miserable, but he still thought about me so much. If I don't help him, I'm not a human being.

If there was only a letter, it would definitely not have such a good effect, but with the frost giant skeleton, it would be very convincing.

The king flipped through the letter written by Lu Xingshi and couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that Earl Lanton's development is not so smooth."

The captain of Lu Xingshi's guards didn't dare to say anything.

It is true that it is difficult, but the progress is very smooth.

There is no conflict between high difficulty and smooth progress.

It is not impossible to fight.

Those who came to deliver the frost giant skeleton and the letter all adhered to the practice of saying less and making fewer mistakes.

You know, this king is not an ordinary person, he is definitely an old fox.

So he actually understood that Lu Xingshi's letter and gift were just looking for him.

He gave him face, but if he didn't give him the inside, there would be no next time.

Lu Xingshi's behavior may not have any direct benefits for the king, but will make him lose resources.

But in fact, he has gained enough reputation and prestige, especially the act of the Landon family offering the frost giant skeleton. In the future, as long as the king is not stupid, he will publicize this matter to deepen his ruling power.

Lu Xingshi sent this opportunity.

Otherwise, the king would sigh with emotion after reading this letter, and then there would be no more.

"Winter is coming, and the food in the Black Soil Territory is definitely not enough. When you go back, I will arrange for someone to send food and go back with you." The king said.

He knows the intelligence of the Black Soil Territory, not to mention that he knows it like the back of his hand.

After all, they are all people he selected, not to mention that they are the great knights of the kingdom, so he must know something.

Therefore, he estimated that what the Black Soil Territory lacked now was not population or tools, but food that would allow them to survive this winter.

To develop, they would definitely not use only the few people in the Black Soil Territory. They would have to naturalize and recruit savages and refugees. When the population of the Black Soil Territory increased, a food crisis would occur.

The Black Soil Territory naturally had no way to conjure food out of thin air. Without his batch of food, most people would not survive this winter.

This was a fatal blow to the Black Soil Territory.

As for money, it would not be given.

The king's intelligence spies showed that the Black Soil Territory was not short of money at present.

It was just that they had no channels to spend money to buy food.

Especially at this cusp.

The king comforted him a few more times and let Lu Xingshi's chief guard leave.

If Lu Xingshi was here, the king would indeed be interested in continuing to chat with Lu Xingshi as a way to win him over.

If Lu Xingshi was not here, he would naturally not waste more words with the slaves.

He was the king after all. The other party could see him only because he valued Lu Xingshi. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the other party would not be qualified to enter the palace.

Only the palace attendants and servants would bring the letter and the frost giant skeleton in. They could just wait for notification outside the palace.

After the people left, the king summoned the royal craftsmen and asked them to redecorate the frost giant.

The craftsmanship was ugly. If it weren't for the outer layer inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, it would definitely be poorly learned.

The king actually had his own ideas, such as adding decorative armor, swords, shields, etc. to it, so that it would look more majestic.

"Such a powerful frost giant is extinct. If it is still alive, it will definitely be a huge disaster for the entire kingdom."

The king naturally knew about the frost giants. There are many secrets in the royal family.

These secrets would naturally not be displayed openly, so Lu Xingshi didn't see them at the time.

After all, he asked for breathing and meditation methods, so naturally, there were only these two kinds of books that could be read.

Even if it was not so strict in reality, it would not be relaxed to the extent that such secret information could be viewed.

"The God of Winter and Ice and Snow... Forget it, it's just a record anyway, it's not a big deal." The king couldn't help but think of the winter wolf and the ice and snow resentment in the Everfrost Mountains.

It was the ancestor of the Landon family who used the shield of the King of the Earth to stop the abnormal movement of the Everfrost Mountains and guarded the front line of the Everfrost Mountains for generations.

However, with the decline of the enemy, the value of the family as a garrison has become lower and lower, and naturally it is not valued by the kings of each generation.

First, it is far away, and second, it is weak. If it weren't for Lu Xingshi who successfully stepped into the extraordinary and was so good at dealing with things, the king might not remember that there was such a viscount in the northern border.

Even if he remembered, he only remembered roughly, and only knew that the other party was the viscount of the Black Soil Territory of the Landon family, and there was no impression of anything more.

As for the things in the Everfrost Mountains, there are basically no abnormalities now.

Before this, in fact, some kings were coveting the divinity of the winter wolf.

The immortality granted by the divinity alone is enough to drive the kings crazy.

The reason why they did not take action is that the kings found that things were not as simple as they imagined.

Even if they obtained the divinity of the winter wolf, they would become winter wolves and would never be able to leave the Everfrost Mountains.

This actually doesn't matter. It is acceptable to pay a price for immortality.

What really makes them unacceptable is that once they become winter wolves, it is not just the body that changes, but also the soul will become a winter wolf, and will also be affected by the long-fallen God of Winter and Ice and Snow. As time goes by, they will regard themselves as a real winter wolf.

And this is still unsolvable.

After all, it is normal to have difficulties in the face of immortality.

Until they could not solve the difficulties, they chose to give up.

Otherwise, how could the royal family and the king not know the information on the Everfrost Mountains from the founding of the kingdom to today, but this information has not been updated for a long time.

In the eyes of the king and the royal family, there is no benefit they need in the Everfrost Mountains, so naturally they did not pay attention to it.

There is no need to worry about enemy attacks. The constant snow and coldness in the Everfrost Mountains, coupled with the presence of winter wolves, make it difficult to cross.

Even if you succeed in crossing, it is basically the same as being injured.

The height and steepness of the Everfrost Mountains are far beyond the ability of ordinary soldiers to climb.

Based on this information, the king was able to guess the development of Lu Xingshi.

Without the followers of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow, the Everfrost Mountains are a natural barrier.

"Earl Lanton's growth is indeed a little slow. With the current amount of blood honey potion, I can probably live for about three years."

"How can Earl Lanton grow to the strength and status I need in three years?"

The effect of the blood honey potion is getting worse and worse for the king. Perhaps after taking it three or five times, it will be completely ineffective.

"Perhaps we can change to another potion." The king said this, which naturally meant that the queen's death was approaching: "We need to plan ahead."

"The queen's mental state has been contaminated by her soul seed."

"And her recent behavior has become more and more cruel and crazy. If it is not dealt with, it will become a royal scandal."

The queen's madness is not a royal scandal. Royal scandals are only considered scandals when they are known to others.

So the best way is to deal with all the insiders and instigators before the royal scandal breaks out, so there is no need to worry about scandals.

And the king actually wants to survive. The blood honey potion is useless, so he can change to another potion that can prolong life.

He doesn't mind whether it is a black wizard or a white wizard. As long as he can refine a potion that prolongs his life and has no side effects, he can accept it. Witchcraft is not impossible.

As for why he didn't choose to condense the extraordinary seed himself.

It's because he has already missed his peak period. Whether it is physical or mental, he can't support him to become a knight or a wizard.

The young king did have a chance, but at that time he was still competing with his brothers and sisters to become the heir to the throne.

His opponents were not only these people, but also the previous old king, who had lived for a long time like him.

His life span was so long that even his descendants could not stand it.

However, he was more patient, so he was the final winner.

When he successfully became the king and wanted to undergo knight training and enter the extraordinary, he found that he could no longer do it.

It was not so easy to make up for it after missing it.

Then the power and responsibility of the entire kingdom fell on him, and even if he was physically able, he did not have enough time and energy.
