Chapter 835 The Shield of the Earth King Returns to the Black Earth Territory
Time passed day by day, Lu Xingshi's artificial earth element essence was making good progress, and the territory was calm.
As for imagining that someone would come to target him, this was only in imagination, and no one paid attention to him at all.
Considering the position of the Black Earth Territory and his extremely poor family, how could anyone deal with him for this matter.
If there were abundant resources in the Black Earth Territory, or if Lu Xingshi had obtained some treasures, it might be possible, but there was no such thing, and no nobles were willing to pay attention to him.
Soon, the financial officer came back.
With a tired appearance, he naturally encountered bandits and robbers on the way, but with the protection of the soldiers assigned to him by Lu Xingshi, there were no dangers along the way.
"Sir, the Shield of the Earth King has been returned by the royal family."
"It's just that the royal family didn't give you the ingredients for the potion you asked for. Instead, they gave you the potion directly." The financial officer said and had someone bring in a huge shield.
The Shield of the Earth King is very large, and its weight is not light.
There are gorgeous decorations on it.
If you are ignorant, you will only think that they are decorations, but Lu Xingshi can see that each of these decorations are extremely precious materials from the extraordinary era, and ordinary people would not even think of collecting them all.
Lu Xingshi carefully checked it and found that the Shield of the Earth King was exactly the same as the design drawings, with no arms or legs missing.
Obviously, the royal family put it directly into the treasure house after recycling it and did not use it. For the royal family, this is indeed just a symbolic meaning.
"What medicines were given?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"It's the white rock potion. The royal family gave him ten bottles." The financial officer took out the potion that he had kept well and handed it to Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi started to search, then nodded: "Okay, the royal family doesn't seem to be very stingy."
I just picked it up for inspection and discovered the problem.
"Did they say how long the white rock potion has been stored?" Lu Xingshi discovered a problem, that is, it seems that the production time of these ten bottles of potion is a bit long.
Not to mention whether the potion will still be effective after it expires, whether it can be drunk after it expires is a question.
"Yes, the royal family said it was prepared by the great royal pharmacist a hundred years ago, and its effect is far better than the white rock medicine prepared by ordinary pharmacists." The financial officer said truthfully.
"..." Lu Xingshi didn't know what to say.
Co-authorship is really overdue.
The white rock potion is indeed very good. It can not only improve one's body, but also improve the spirit. If it is an earth breathing method or meditation method, it can improve the effect of condensation when condensing life seeds and soul seeds. In this way, Increase success rate.
Ten bottles of such a precious potion were given directly, which meant that these ten bottles of white rock potion were really just a trap.
The royal family is really good at making the most of everything.
"It's a shame, but it's normal. We are just a small noble." Lu Xingshi said straightforwardly.
The financial officer's face turned pale, he naturally believed Lu Xingshi.
"But you did a good job this time. It's good to get the potion, and you also brought back the Shield of the Earth King." Lu Xingshi did not embarrass the financial officer too much.
To put it bluntly, it means that the royal family did not rob, and the treasurer can come back alive, which is already a magnanimous person.
Otherwise, how could he, a little viscount, have such great dignity?
"Sir, there are still things left for this trip..." After Lu Xingshi comforted the financial officer, he stabilized his mood and prepared to report to Lu Xingshi.
"You don't need to tell me the rest of the money. You write an expenditure and have several of you sign it."
"You take 10% and give the remaining 90% to the soldiers." Lu Xingshi didn't care about the money, doing good things was the focus.
Otherwise, who would be willing to do anything for you?
Just painting a big cake is not enough, no matter what, you have to spend real money.
The financial officer was stunned at first, and then wanted to refuse, but when he saw Lu Xingshi's expression, he naturally accepted it with joy.
Even if it is divided, it will be a considerable income for both him and the soldiers.
"Thank you for your generosity, my lord." The financial officer said respectfully and gratefully.
"I accept your thanks. I won't be stingy with rewards for your good deeds." Lu Xingshi said bluntly.
This promise, to the ears of the financial officer, was simply the sound of nature.
The previous viscount and the previous viscount did not have this idea. It was already very good if they could not squeeze them. How could they choose rewards.
Following this one is indeed more promising than following the previous one.
If it was just pure loyalty before, now it is not only loyalty, but also the idea of support.
Their loyalty is to the Langton family, and their support is to Lu Xingshi himself.
If the previous Viscount came back and Lu Xingshi gave an order to them to kill each other, they would do it.
Before changing it, they would have hesitated. After all, although the previous Viscount was no longer a nobleman, he was still a member of the Langton family, so they would have some scruples.
"Go and get busy. Without a financial officer like you, a lot of things have piled up in the territory." Lu Xingshi waved to the financial officer to go to work. After the financial officer left, Lu Xingshi tried to get in touch with the Shield of the Earth King on a deeper level.
The first feeling when I bought it was that it was heavy, very heavy.
After all, it is a shield used by extraordinary knights. His current body is indeed stronger than ordinary people, but compared with those knights who condensed the seeds of life, it is still far behind.
Fortunately, it can be barely lifted, but it is a bit fanciful to use it in combat. It is difficult to move, let alone use.
"The shield combat skills in the breathing method are indeed powerful enough when combined with this shield."
"And this weight should be able to be increased." Lu Xingshi muttered.
The Langton family is good at using shields as weapons, and the combat skills in "Earth Elemental Breathing Method" are even more sophisticated.
As for the witchcraft in the "Earth Element Meditation Method", it is actually a similar situation, including earth element shield, earth protection, rock protection and so on.
Not aggressive enough, but defensive enough.
"Hey, this Earth King's Shield can not only be used as a knight's weapon, but also as a wizard's witchcraft?"
"Also, when the ancestors of the Langton family were active, wizards were not destroyed by the witch-hunting movement. Wizards who used earth elements as soul seeds were still white wizards."
"It seems that the Langton family has more than one wizard."
Lu Xingshi quickly realized that the Shield of the Earth King was built before the witch-hunting movement. The wizards at that time were not the wizards they are today, so there were naturally differences.
"But then again, why doesn't anyone choose to practice breathing and meditation techniques?"
"Does it have to be divided into two professions?"
With the help of the Earth King's Shield, Lu Xingshi thought of this problem.
According to his speculation, there is unlikely to be a conflict between life seeds and soul seeds... right?
Well, because of the lack of data, he is actually not very clear whether there is a conflict, but from the paper data, it can be concluded that there is indeed no conflict between the two.
Lu Xingshi has not yet reached the point of stimulating extraordinary seeds, but since he does not practice cultivation, there must be their reasons.
When Lu Xingshi wants to condense and activate the extraordinary seeds, it will not be too late to conduct experimental research. Otherwise, there will not be enough data, and even if he conducts experimental research, he will not be able to get what he wants.
Then he dragged the Shield of the Earth King with great effort and stored it back in the treasure house.
It's basically impossible for one person to steal this thing, it's just too heavy.
Unless this person is a knight who inspires the life seeds, but he has already inspired the life seeds, there is no need to choose to steal this thing, there is nothing he wants.
As for multiple people helping to move out, they have to get out.
There are guards patrolling the castle, and there are militiamen and soldiers outside.
What's more important is that in the feudal era, the mobility of people was extremely poor, and strangers had to be discovered as soon as they came in.
It's even harder to steal by one's own, since all the family members are in the territory.
Moreover, it is troublesome to sell the stolen goods. The shield of the Earth King has the emblem of the Langton family on it. With this symbol, no one will buy it even if they want to sell it.
It is even more impossible to deduct it. The family emblem is made of semi-god-level earth elements, and it cannot be destroyed without extraordinary power.
"I remember that the Langton family is not the only pioneer noble." Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the Shield of the Earth King: "If the Langton family can do it, other nobles should be able to do it too."
"Then if I find a way to get them all, wouldn't they all be artifacts once the extraordinary returns to the era of high demons?"
You will definitely not be able to get it if you buy it directly or take it openly, and not all the heirs of the pioneering nobles are as weird as the previous Viscount Langton.
"So the way to get it is to choose the royal family, they will definitely have it."
It is true that not everyone is like the previous Viscount Langton, but there will always be noble families that perish or are stripped of their noble status.
For example, they are too powerful and are targeted by the royal family, or they have some major interests and are calculated by other nobles and lose their noble status.
There will be more or less, so there must be something similar to the Shield of the Earth King in the royal treasury.
"I just want to get it, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. I can exchange it for the Shield of the Earth King because this thing originally belonged to the Langton family."
"But it won't be that easy if you exchange it for other nobles' confiscated family treasures."
"There is a difference between returning the property to its original owner and trading it."
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, even if I get it now, I won't be able to use it."
"It's better to focus on the matter in front of you first."
Lu Xingshi left the treasure house and prepared to continue to perfect the essence of artificial earth elements.
He estimated that in another ten days and a half, he should be able to complete this technology. At that time, he would have to consider how to use the essence of artificial earth elements to quickly increase his strength.
The essence of earth element is not only used to stimulate and condense extraordinary seeds. If nothing unexpected happens, it can also be provided as external nutrients, but it requires certain procedures for conversion.
