Chapter 833 The secret room of the ancestors of the Langton family
"Secret room?" Lu Xingshi noticed something different at the end of the castle.
He didn't visit the castle on a whim, but he planned to memorize the overall structure of the castle in his mind and formed a three-dimensional diagram.
Unsurprisingly, after collecting the data on the castle, he would then visit the entire Black Territory to determine whether the series of information given to him by the territorial officer was true, and to draw a map of the Black Territory.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and he actually found a secret room.
Of course, it's just speculation now and there is no actual evidence. The reason why he thinks there will be a secret room here is because he passed the three-dimensional view of the castle and found a blank spot.
As a person, it would be really difficult to find the blank spot in this suspected secret room.
This secret room will be misled by visual errors whether from the outside or from the inside. It is not easy for ordinary people to discover it.
"There's no secret, right?" Lu Xingshi thought about it, and found that it was indeed possible.
It is true that the Langton family is not big when they say it is big, but after all, they have even opened up a new territory from the Dragon Lord. To say that they have no secrets is definitely a lie.
As for what the secret is, Lu Xingshi doesn't really want to guess.
What's the use of guessing? You'll know it once you get in.
So we have to find a way to enter the secret room.
It's really not a big problem to find someone to break it open, but what happens after it's broken?
The reason why it is a secret room means that the ancestors of the Langton family deliberately concealed it and did not want it to be made public.
Either it was a scandal that the Langton family couldn't see coming to light, or it was some secret that could attract death. How could he be so stupid as to let someone uncover it?
Even if the person who did it was a slave loyal to him, if people's hearts were that simple, there wouldn't be all kinds of intrigues.
After groping around for a long time, Lu Xingshi quickly found the key node by guessing the structure of various agencies.
"Gan, the mechanism of the extraordinary era..." Lu Xingshi's face fell.
Let the thing he least wants to see happen.
The mechanism of the extraordinary period means that it is carried out in a way similar to scientific and technological verification.
It's not like Lu Xingshi can't crack it, provided that this thing can still be effective.
For example, this mechanism uses alchemy to directly move the entire wall. Now that the alchemy has failed, it has directly turned into a wall. How can Lu Xingshi crack it?
The only option is to smash it open.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi had to make sure that it had better not completely malfunction, otherwise it would have to be smashed.
After a lot of trouble, Lu Xingshi got good news.
That is, the mechanism does not completely use the technology of the extraordinary era, but also has certain physical properties inside, so it can be opened.
The bad news is that it may be a little noisy when opened.
Fortunately, the bad news is not that bad. He is a Viscount and has absolute authority in his territory.
"It's better to inform them of the meeting to avoid problems." Lu Xingshi thought for a moment. The news of the meeting attracted too many people, and if they couldn't keep it together, there would be an accident.
After walking around, I found a servant and told the butler about the matter.
Then the valet came over with a group of guards, forming a line of defense to prevent others from entering.
And all of them were very smart and turned their backs towards the secret room to avoid seeing things they shouldn't.
It has to be said that the butler's son has indeed received corresponding training as a personal servant. When the butler retires, there will definitely be no problem for him to take over as the butler.
Lu Xingshi opened the secret room. Before anyone could enter, he smelled a strange stench.
'The ventilation system of the castle needs to be rebuilt...Forget it, when we have money, we will demolish the castle and rebuild it again. ’ Lu Xingshi had a closed sense of smell that remained unchanged.
The smell didn't dissipate so quickly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get in there.
What you see is a large number of broken skeletons and some flesh and blood tissue that is so rotten that you can't tell what it is.
"Wizard???" Lu Xingshi was particularly embarrassed.
A certain ancestor of the Langton family was actually a wizard.
"This thing is...the essence of earth element? No, it's not the essence of earth element. It's more like the essence of purified earth element."
"It's a pity that due to time and circumstances, only an empty shell remains."
Lu Xingshi put it down and began to look for useful clues.
A jumbled pile of things was soon found.
""Earth Element Breathing Method"? There is a backup for this thing. This is indeed good news."
"Then there is the "Earth Element Meditation Method", which seems to be based on the wizard's training system. It seems that the Langton family was indeed not simple at the beginning."
In addition, there are some miscellaneous things.
For example, alchemy is used to purify the essence of the earth element, potions that can further warm and nourish the seeds of life, etc.
I won’t mention these things for now, because without the materials and implementation conditions, they are simply useless.
But Lu Xingshi also found something that interested him very much.
That is the blueprint for the Shield of the Earth King. After reading it, Lu Xingshi's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
"My ancestors are really rich."
"The crystal core of the Earth Dragon King, the essence of the Earth Elemental Demigod, the branches of the Sacred Tree..."
"Back in the age of gods, it was probably not a simple matter to get these things. But not only did you get them, you actually built them into the Shield of the Earth King."
"This thing has to be a magical weapon even if it's guaranteed."
Lu Xingshi felt that the Langton family was indeed extraordinary. As for why they were only Viscounts? How did Lu Xingshi know?
They don't write history books.
After seeing this series of high-sounding materials that made the Shield of the King of the Earth, Lu Xingshi became more and more determined to get it back from the royal family.
Then, while flipping through the "Earth Element Breathing Method", he discovered an interesting thing, that is, the content in the book in his hand was different from the one given to him by the royal family before.
The royal family's copy is more gentle in nature, and the hierarchy is clear and detailed. Even if it fails, there will be no life-threatening danger.
The one obtained from the secret room is more like the first generation version. It is simple and rough, without any gentle side, only the violent side, and the level is not so clear, a bit similar to the original version.
If the former is an elegant nobleman at a banquet, the latter is a bloody knight on the battlefield.
However, in essence, there are not many changes. It is most likely that successive generations of viscounts of the Langton family have continuously modified it, giving up part of its power and capabilities to ensure safety and clarify their own strength.
"Then I'm going to practice an improved version. Wouldn't it be better to just use the original version?"
As for the changes, they are actually not big, but the safety has decreased and the power has increased.
"And if you use the original version, maybe it will be more suitable for the Shield of the Earth King?" Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of this matter.
After memorizing it all, Lu Xingshi quickly turned to the "Earth Element Meditation Method".
I quickly figured out the wizard's system.
If the knight condenses the seeds of life with his own body, then the wizard condenses the seeds of the soul through his own spirit.
In the end, two different conflicts developed.
There are two types of wizards, one is the white wizard and the other is the black wizard.
How to distinguish is very simple. Look at the soul seeds condensed by the other party. If it has negative properties such as shadow and darkness, it is a black wizard, while if it has positive properties such as light and holiness, it is a white wizard.
It's not because of elemental discrimination, but because the bias of the soul seed will directly affect a person's character.
A kind person, if his soul seed is of dark attribute, then he will gradually become cruel and bloody. This is due to changes on the soul level.
It's just that the decline of wizards is more serious than that of knights, because they are more dependent on the environment and energy. Correspondingly, in the extraordinary era, wizards are more powerful than knights.
For example, the alchemy, pharmacy, etc. related in "Earth Element Breathing Method" should actually belong to the domain of wizards.
"Having said that, the decline of wizards is more than that." After Lu Xingshi put down the "Earth Element Meditation Method", he found a simple diary.
It was left behind by an ancestor of the Langton family who became a wizard instead of a knight.
The other party mentioned the witch hunting movement, which further caused the decline of witches, making them an existence that everyone wanted to beat.
And it also wiped out the wizard's inheritance on a large scale.
This is not a good thing, because most of the ones they eliminated were orthodox noble wizards, also known as white wizards.
On the contrary, many dark wizards scattered around the country escaped because they had no clear goals and their character was affected.
As a result, among the wizards circulating today, nine out of ten are dark wizards.
And this is also the reason why the Langton family sealed the secret room in the first place. If people really knew that the Viscount of the Langton family was a wizard, he would really be burned on the rack.
It was just a viscount. It was not like those crazy witch hunters had never killed him before. According to the records, even a duke died because of this.
"There is nothing wrong with the Langton family's breathing methods and meditation methods, and the quality is not low."
"However, whether it is to become a life-stimulating seed or a soul seed, because the quality is too high, it requires the essence of the earth element."
"And there are quite a few."
In the past, there was no shortage of nature, but now the level of transcendence is so low that it can be ignored. It is not known whether the earth element is still there.
"If it's artificial, is it possible to succeed?"
Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the alchemy of purifying the essence of the earth element, and coupled with the empty shell of purifying the essence of the earth element, there might be a possibility of success.
"The success rate is not small." After Lu Xingshi checked it, he began to form a plan in his mind, but soon another problem was placed in front of him.
That is, without the support of the main body, the Black Earth Territory alone, even if it has the technology, cannot produce the quantity he needs.
"Lack of money..."
He has the tools to make money, but he doesn’t have the corresponding channels.
Do you really think that the nobles of the kingdom are sheep?
