I'm the one running the game

News from the 8th Earth God System

The winter hunt lasted for three whole days and finally came to an end.

The process was also very smooth, and there were no bloody incidents such as bandits suddenly appearing and enemy attacks.

Lv Xingshi could only sigh that without the aura of the protagonist, he would indeed encounter fewer troubles.

As for Princess Catherine, she was also taciturn throughout the winter hunt and did not say anything.

It was just that from time to time, there was a kind of dead silence, and over time, the original temperature dropped.

Only then did Lu Xingshi know that she was the main culprit for the temperature drop in the palace, but no one present noticed this problem.

Of course, he could not remind her.

What would happen if he reminded her? He had no evidence, and the evidence needed to be verified.

To verify the princess of the kingdom? Lu Xingshi did not have much emotional intelligence, but his brain was still normal. He would be crazy to do this.

Not only was there no benefit, but it was also not in line with his interests.

But from this point, one thing can be seen, that is, Princess Catherine might not be as simple as she seemed.

Very good disguise.

After the winter hunt, the king began to commend and reward the top three nobles who hunted the most prey in this winter hunt.

The process was very brief, just a few words of encouragement, and then someone took them to the treasury to pick something.

To say that they attach much importance, that's not the case. After all, this group of feudal nobles have neither territory nor real power, and at most they can only be regarded as an impression.

This is equivalent to a stepping stone. Whether they can climb up step by step in the future depends on themselves. The winter hunt is actually a gathering of this group of high-level people.

The other nobles are just foils.

Of course, they can also choose to increase the favor of the kingdom's high-level people to join them, but this kind of nobles is a small part.

They are in the capital, if they really get close to others, or do so under the king's nose, do you really think the king will not care?

Even if he doesn't care, when he thinks of you in the future, the first thought is that you are very close to a powerful noble, and you will be directly brushed off.

"You are very strong. We can compete again next time we have a chance." Pollock Tell said to Lv Xingshi.

The other two great knights of the kingdom disdained to have any intersection with Lv Xingshi. In their opinion, Lv Xingshi's title was too low and it was not worth their friendship at all.

On the contrary, Pollock found that humans could become so powerful, which was too outrageous.

After discovering that they condensed the seeds of life, the so-called great knights of the kingdom could not become stronger no matter what, and finally had to give up and focus on power.

As for breaking through the limits of the human body?

That was Lv Xingshi, and this group of normal great knights of the kingdom did not have it, so they could only defeat a hundred people at most.

Therefore, this extraordinary power was regarded as a ladder to power by them, and they gradually gave up the exploration of extraordinary.

This is actually a normal situation. After all, even Lv Xingshi needed 274 years, and they needed even longer.

It's not that they haven't made any progress, but the progress is too small, so small that they can't feel it.

"I'm a little curious. After you condensed the seed of life, didn't you think about going further?"

"In the breathing method, it must have been said that we are not so-called great knights, but newcomers who have just become knights." Lu Xingshi asked with a smile.

"Of course I have. You don't know that when I just condensed the seed of life, I thought I would become a powerful holy knight like my ancestors."

"As a result, you also saw that I am still just a knight now." Pollock said with a wry smile.

In the end, reality smoothed the edges and corners. He became the Marquis of Tyre and began to become a qualified noble.

He didn't actually expect Lu Xingshi's strength to reach the level of a real great knight. He just thought that Lu Xingshi was young and strong, and the breathing method inherited from his family was special.

In fact, his physical fitness has begun to decline.

That is, with the seed of life, he can still maintain a much stronger body than people of the same age.

"By the way, I heard that you are looking for the God of Earth and Life?" Pollock suddenly changed the subject and asked this question.

This is not a secret. Lu Xingshi had asked about it in the capital before.

"Yes, the breathing method of the Landon family I belong to is called "Earth Element Breathing Method". I suspect it is closely related to the God of Earth and Life." Lu Xingshi directly linked his behavior to the Landon family.

This reason is reasonable.

In the upper echelons of the kingdom, gods are not a big secret.

Pollock also knows about the divine winter wolf in the Everfrost Mountains, but everyone knows it tacitly.

After all, it is not appropriate to speak about what a king of the kingdom has become.

"When I left the kingdom to travel, I heard some stories about the God of Earth and Life being praised by the bards in the Orei Empire in the south of the kingdom." Pollock said.

The Orei Empire is far from being comparable to the Voss Kingdom where Lu Xingshi is. It can be said to be one of the most powerful empires in the world.

It's just the distance, it's really far.

It's not so easy to get there, and you have to cross several kingdoms in the middle to get there.

When Lu Xingshi heard the key word "south", he felt that it was almost accurate.

"I didn't expect that Marquis Tyer has also traveled around the world. How do the countries outside compare to our country?" Lu Xingshi changed the subject.

Pollock didn't suspect anything. After all, it was too far away. He just thought that Lu Xingshi had given up.

"It's much stronger than our Kingdom of Voss. You have heard of the steam engine." Pollock said.

"I have heard of some. After all, I have also been a wandering knight." Lu Xingshi nodded. If there were no materials, he could have rubbed it by hand.

"The Aure Empire has begun reforms using steam engines. It seems to be called the Industrial Revolution."

"I don't know how it works specifically, but my advisors say that once it succeeds, the Aure Empire will become the most powerful empire."

"Of course, if it fails, the Aure Empire will collapse as a result."

"So the outside world has actually been in chaos, and the war has never stopped."

"The current situation of the Aure Empire is not very good." Pollock briefly summarized the situation between the countries to Lu Xingshi.

The other party is a marquis, not a title with water like Lu Xingshi, so the intelligence system is very complete and not completely ignorant of the outside world.

"By the way, the previous Viscount Lanton went to the Aore Empire."

"The development of art, culture and other related aspects of the Aore Empire is also the highest among all countries." Pollock seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.

"He has given up the glory of the Lanton family. It has nothing to do with me which country he goes to." Lu Xingshi almost forgot that there was such a person as the previous viscount.

I don't know if he is still alive. After all, according to Pollock, the war has already begun with the Aore Empire as the center.

"The Aure Empire has created a lot of steel monsters using steam engines."

"There are steam giant elephants that can crush the enemy on the battlefield, and steam birds flying in the sky."

"In addition, there are steam venomous snakes that can be held by soldiers, and steam armadillos that can cause the city gates to open, etc."

"The battlefield seems to be turning around little by little, and there is a situation of counterattack."

"This is not a good thing. Once the Aure Empire really wins, our Kingdom of Voss will definitely be affected."

When Pollock said this, the style of painting changed a little.

Elephants, birds, venomous snakes, armadillos?

These words combined with steam and steel made Lu Xingshi think of tanks, airplanes, guns and other items.

He reasonably suspected that the Aure Empire might be cheating.

Otherwise, everyone was in the Middle Ages, how could you use steam?

"Just listen to these things, don't spread them, otherwise it will easily cause unrest."

"Compared to other kingdoms, our Voss Kingdom is actually corrupt in their mouths..." Pollock only remembered at this time that Lu Xingshi was just a newly promoted noble.

Even if he has become a high-level official, the real strength of the Black Soil Territory is not enough to reach the level of the Earldom.

"Don't worry, Marquis Tyer, I'm a very tight-lipped person." Lu Xingshi found that his Voss Kingdom was indeed very bad.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Aore Empire wins, the best case for the Voss Kingdom is to become the Duchy of Voss, and then everyone's title will be downgraded by one level and accept its rule.

The worst case is naturally a sudden death.

Pollock didn't care whether Lu Xingshi would leak it. Anyway, it was the Black Soil Territory where Lu Xingshi was, not his Marquisate, that would be in trouble after the leak. He just reminded Lu Xingshi because he was also a great knight of the kingdom.

"The winter hunt is over, and I should go back. I hope that one day I can see the Lanton family become a marquis family."

"I will invite you to visit my territory when the time comes."

"By the way, Grand Duke Hepa is not as simple as he seems. Although you reconciled with him during the winter hunt, it was only a superficial reconciliation."

"Don't take it lightly." Pollock patted Lu Xingshi's shoulder, and felt that the touch was stiff.

Lu Xingshi was wearing the ruler of the mountain.

However, Pollock didn't know what to say. At first, he thought Lu Xingshi was unique, but after seeing him more during the winter hunt, he got used to it.

He even thought about imitating Lu Xingshi and giving himself a whole set of armor to improve his image.

After all, he has condensed the seeds of life. Whether it is physical strength or endurance, it is far superior to ordinary people. As long as the weight is appropriate, it is no problem to wear it all day like Lu Xingshi.

It's just that the heat and cold and the inconveniences in life are a little more troublesome to overcome.

"Okay, the king is waiting for you in the palace, go meet him." Pollock said, and left.

After the winter hunt, the king summoned the four great knights of the kingdom individually in order.

The order of summoning was naturally based on the order of becoming the great knight of the kingdom. Lu Xingshi was the last one, and Pollock was the second to last.
