I'm the one running the game

The butler came back soon and reported everything that happened in the Imperial Arbitration Court to Lu Xingshi, without exaggeration or concealment.

Lu Xingshi was not surprised by this, as it was indeed within his expectations.

As for Flanders's appeal to the Arbitration Court again, the Arbitration Court only accepted the appeal and asked him to go back and wait for notification.

This case will be extended indefinitely.

Then, Flanders was arrested on charges of spreading rumors, fraud, and impersonating a noble.

He spread the word that he was the real Grand Duke of Lanton, and that he was recognized by the Imperial Arbitration Court and had the legal recognition and support of the Empire.

Of course, it was not propaganda, but at most bragging.

However, he had been watched closely by people for a long time, so he was arrested not long after the spread.

The three charges were not put on Flanders out of thin air, but because if we really follow the laws and procedures of the Empire, Flanders does have three charges.

After all, the arbitration court did not complete the judgment in the end, but postponed it to the next arbitration, so Flanders did not get the recognition of the arbitration court.

In this case, the legal recognition and support would not exist.

So it is reasonable to say that he spread rumors, defrauded, and pretended to be a noble.

If it was before, the nobles and the royal family would definitely take action to save Flanders, but now there is no movement.

It should not be, after all, Flanders still has value, and it should be squeezed out more, but it was abandoned.

This matter did not cause much waves in the imperial capital, but it was over in less than two days.

Obviously, this treatment did not have many problems in the eyes of the people of the imperial capital and even the empire.

Then, Lu Xingshi received information that Flanders was sentenced to hanging.

"It seems that he has no chance to replace me." Lu Xingshi said regretfully: "It's a pity that it will be executed in three months."

This information was sent from the imperial capital, and the purpose was naturally to appease Lu Xingshi, indicating that they knew this guy was a trap, and they would give you an explanation if they killed him.

The Steam Faction, through Flanders and the bribed Arbitrator, began to purge the Aristocratic Faction and the Royal Family, further weakening their influence on the Empire.

This purge was already very mild and did not cause too much impact on the Empire.

For example, Princess Lina hanged herself because of depression, which made many of her suitors regret for the rest of their lives.

And then there was nothing else. Not everyone had a twisted mind like Flanders and became an indestructible licking dog. Most suitors just sighed that things are impermanent and lived their lives.

One of these two people died, and the other was about to die. Lu Xingshi felt much better.

The progress of studying the God of Winter and Ice and Snow was also a little faster.

He was indeed disgusted before, but it was just that the person was dead and the light was gone. He couldn't dig up the other's bones and whip the corpse. That was so inappropriate.

"The Godhead is almost finished." Lu Xingshi compared the data and confirmed his progress: "I just want to use it to control the wind and snow in the Everfrozen Mountains, but I still can't do it in my situation."

He has the data of the Godhead, but it doesn't mean he has enough strength to do it.

If he is a winter wolf, with this data, he can directly bring the wind and snow to a winter is coming.

It's a pity that Lu Xingshi is not a winter wolf, so he can't completely control the wind and snow in the Everfrozen Mountains, but it's not without any benefits.

He can use the divinity and divine power in the magical weapon Breath of Wind and Snow to control the wind and snow formed by part of the Godhead.

The Godhead is complete, but the divinity and divine power carried by the Breath of Wind and Snow are not complete.

The divinity is polluted by human memory and thinking, and it is not an original product, and the divine power is even worse. There are only two strands in total. When the God of Winter and Ice and Snow was in his prime, his divine power was vast and boundless.

With just a few small things, and Lv Xingshi being an outsider, he thought of driving all the wind and snow covering the entire Everfrost Mountains, which seemed a bit whimsical.

Moreover, wind and snow were only a superficial use of the divine nature. The real power was winter, but unfortunately he had no way to touch this point.

In fact, for Lv Xingshi, whether it was the divine nature, divinity, divine power, or even the divine position that he didn't know where, he had little use.

Through a large amount of data, it can be known that the statement of the winter wolf was verified, that is, the gods were born gods.

Whether it was humans or those extinct alien races, there was no way to become gods.

This was not an existence that could be achieved through cultivation, because the difference was not in strength or essence, but in species.

Lv Xingshi could continue to become stronger and become another non-human species, but he would not become a god.

However, Lv Xingshi could refer to the structure of the gods and master the corresponding power.

But he would not start immediately, after all, there was still a thorn in his throat, the Ragnarok.

Otherwise, if he succeeds, what if he is killed by Ragnarok?

His main body cannot support him, and he is too far away to rely on the power of other big characters. Once he dies, he can only start all over again.

Of course, he will not procrastinate indefinitely. He will conduct various research and experiments to test. If there is really no problem, he will definitely not hesitate and will decisively become stronger.

"Snow and wind, shrink back." Lv Xingshi controlled the snow and wind area of ​​the Everfrost Mountains with the Breath of Snow and Wind and began to spread backwards.

Gradually, the previously developed areas were released from the snow and wind.

These areas are indeed not worth mentioning for the entire Principality of Lanton, but for the Black Soil Territory where Lv Xingshi is, it is different.

"The snow wolf pack should be all dead."

Through the Breath of Snow and Wind, Lv Xingshi conducted a brief exploration of the entire Everfrost Mountains.

If the snow wolf pack is still there, with its huge population, it is unlikely to escape the exploration.

As for leaving, this is possible, but it is not very realistic.

With the fur of the snow wolf, it is only suitable for living in cold areas. Once the temperature rises, then with their heat dissipation ability, they are likely to be killed by heat.

It's not like Lv Xingshi hasn't dissected the snow wolf before, and he knows a lot about the physiological structure of the snow wolf.

After all, the former Snow Wolf King was transformed by him personally.

"It's probably that they were turned into food by the winter wolves, otherwise they couldn't have died so thoroughly, without leaving any."

"It's a pity for the Snow Wolf King." Lu Xingshi sighed. He still valued the transformed Snow Wolf King.

Without saying too much, he was really satisfied with its obedience.

If it weren't for it, the Moonlight Werewolf would definitely not be able to stop the army of the undead.

After dealing with the affairs of the Everfrost Mountains, Lu Xingshi went straight back to his castle.

It stands to reason that with his status, he certainly couldn't continue to live in the small castle that was once just a viscount.

It's just that the capital of the principality has not been repaired yet, so he can only stay temporarily.

The capital of the Principality of Lanton is naturally the capital of the Kingdom of Voss.

The capitals and imperial capitals of various countries are carefully selected. Whether it is the geographical location or the resources, they are not the best, but they are definitely the top ones.

"Sir, the latest intelligence."

"The Empire intends to let you lead the army to the Dragon Mountain Range to resist the other countries." The housekeeper handed him a piece of intelligence as soon as Lu Xingshi came back.

"So fast? I thought it would take some time to operate." Lu Xingshi was also a little surprised.

The words he asked the housekeeper to say in the Arbitration Court before, coupled with his behavior of looking for the Earth God System, made the Empire notice Lu Xingshi's interest in the Dragon Mountain Range.

Then, of course, it was to spend some money.

It's just that it takes time to operate, and the feedback was really fast this time.

When Lu Xingshi took the intelligence and took a look, he knew that this intelligence was an unconfirmed news.

The Empire was indeed interested, but it was still wavering. After all, Lu Xingshi's identity was indeed special.

In addition to the unpleasant things that happened before, it was normal to hesitate.

It was very decisive to include Lu Xingshi in the list of candidates for activation.

"What's the situation on the front line of the Dragon Mountain Range battlefield in the south?" Lu Xingshi asked again. He was sure that there must be something wrong with the battlefield in the Dragon Mountain Range.

Otherwise, how could such a thing happen suddenly?

"The Dragon Mountain Range is too far away, and the Empire has blocked the news. We don't know what happened for the time being." The housekeeper answered truthfully.

The Principality of Lanton is stronger than the original Black Soil Territory, but in terms of intelligence, it is definitely not as good as the Aore Empire.

If the Empire really wants to block the news, it can still block it. After all, the Empire is not the end of the dynasty that is in turmoil.

As for spies secretly spreading it to cause panic?

There are some, but spies are not vegetarians, and the various institutions of the Empire are not vegetarians.

It is completely possible to easily calm public opinion and find out the other party.

The role of spies is more to pass back information. There are sabotage activities in the rear, but it is not so easy to implement them.

Not to mention in the imperial capital, you have to be more cautious. Once exposed, the Empire's torture technology will definitely make him reveal everything he knows.

"Forget it, there is no rush for this, let's put it aside for now." Lu Xingshi wanted to add fuel to the fire, but he was afraid that the fire would burn the Empire to death.

If the empire is gone, Lu Xingshi will either establish himself or seek refuge.

In the former case, the Principality of Lanton will become the Kingdom of Lanton, and then grow with difficulty.

In the latter case, it will be even more incredible. He will really be awarded the title of a slave of three surnames, just like Lu Fengxian of his own family.

Of course, there may not be an empire that dares to accept his surrender. The Kingdom of Voss and the Ore Empire are precedents.

So the greater possibility is to establish himself and then be disturbed by various troubles.

Although Lu Xingshi has been cheating the empire, in fact, Lu Xingshi is just fleecing the empire and has no intention of fleecing the empire to death.

If he really dies, who will be his shield?
