Chapter 844 The visit of the royal advisor
Lu Xingshi withdrew from training. Today is the eighth day since he condensed the extraordinary seed, the Heart of the Earth. His strength exploded at a high speed, and now he has begun to return to a snail's pace.
Now the breathing method and the meditation method can be practiced at the same time. Before, the breathing method had to be carried out in conjunction with the movements. It is different now. It can be improved by directly cooperating with the extraordinary seed·Heart of the Earth.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi can completely practice dual practice by specifying the breathing frequency and rhythm during meditation.
"It's still too much to practice independently..." Lu Xingshi was quite helpless.
If reaching the next stage is a percentage, he has only completed one hundred thousandth of the progress.
No wonder the three people in the kingdom are progressing so slowly. It's not that they don't want to, but that they really can't do it.
The content of elemental particles in the external environment is simply a drop in the bucket for reaching the levels of Grand Knight and Grand Wizard.
Lu Xingshi has been making progress only with perfect quality small earth element essences.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if he relies on krypton gold, it will take him 100,000 days to break through, which is equivalent to close to 274 years.
He can live for such a long time, but the speed is really unbelievable, and this has just begun.
Of course, if it were someone else, this would not necessarily be the case. His progress bar is 100,000% because of his good qualifications and krypton gold.
The progress bars of other people probably need to add two or three digits.
If the environment is up to standard, he probably won't even have this progress bar, and he will be able to break through in two or three days at most.
"It's not all bad news. At least it gives me enough time to reconcile the issue between fighting spirit and magic power." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but laugh at himself.
The slow progress is just an advantage.
He is already undergoing the transformation of automatic cultivation, but he has no motivation.
As far as the earth element particles in the environment are concerned, there is not much difference between practicing and not practicing.
As for the essence of the earth element, he only had about ten copies left in his hand, and most of them were used by him to condense the extraordinary and extraordinary seed of the Heart of the Earth.
Otherwise, where would the ten effects come from, and each effect is extraordinary.
He stood up and left. He planned to go to the royal capital. Before that, he had to inform the territorial officials.
As soon as he got up, he noticed someone outside the door. According to his judgment, it should be the housekeeper.
His strength has improved, and his perception has naturally not dropped.
"What's going on?" he asked as he opened the door.
Lu Xingshi had previously told him that no one was allowed to disturb him without his instructions.
So the housekeeper had something to do, but he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only wait at the door.
"Sir, the royal capital sent people to investigate the cause of Viscount Moko's death."
"You are busy, I have temporarily arranged the reception." The butler briefly summarized the situation.
Lu Xingshi was not surprised. Viscount Moko was the unlucky nobleman chosen by Lu Xingshi.
Because of the burning effect of the New White Rock Potion No. 2, the way Viscount Moko died looked a bit horrifying, completely turning into a mummy.
After the report was reported, the royal family took it seriously, and the only ones who could do this were wizards.
This means that there are activities of wizards in this area, coupled with the previous changes that the Principality of Haipa has experienced, this makes the royal family suspect that wizards have sneaked into the kingdom and started to cause destruction.
"Then let's meet." Lu Xingshi wasn't worried at all. The other party was just going through the motions, and at most he would just ask for a bribe, and he could get away with it by just giving him some money.
"Master, please come this way." The housekeeper led the way and soon arrived at the living room.
A middle-aged man wearing luxurious and decent clothes with a mustache was seriously tasting the wine.
The housekeeper naturally knows that the other party is not easy to mess with, so he will not owe anything in the reception. As long as the other party is not looking for trouble, there will be no fault in every step.
"Hello, Viscount Langton, I am Sirius, royal advisor." The other party was not a nobleman, but he worked in the royal family, so he did not give his surname, only his first name.
Lu Xingshi also returned the greeting: "Hello, Consultant Sirius, I also know your purpose of coming."
"I deeply regret what happened to Viscount Moko." Lu Xingshi was polite as soon as he came up.
When Sirius heard this, he shook his head: "Viscount Langton, according to the assessment of other royal family advisers, you are quite suspicious."
Hearing this, Lu Xingshi's eyes narrowed.
"Consultant Sirius, where are my suspicions?" Lu Xingshi asked back.
"The first is Viscount Moko. His red soil territory borders Viscount Langton's black soil territory. Even if you want to deny this, you can't deny it, not to mention that you obtained a mine and a forest farm from it."
"Of course, this is not enough to support your suspicion."
"What really heightens your suspicion is the disappearance of mudstone in the Principality of Hypa."
"Something happened to Grand Duke Haipa and Viscount Moko, who are enemies of you. This may be an accident, but you need to provide evidence to convince me." Sirius listed Lu Xingshi's problems.
For the royal family, there are still not many problems in finding out this information.
Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "No, no, no, Consultant Sirius, you did something wrong." "It's not up to me to prove my innocence."
"But I need you, Advisor Siris, to provide evidence to prove that the mudstone disappearance incident in the Principality of Haipa and the death case of Viscount Moko in the Red Earth Territory are related to me." Lu Xingshi said directly.
He will not fall into the trap of self-evidence.
He is a viscount, and the other party is just a royal adviser.
Therefore, when the other party said that he did it, he had to provide evidence to prove it, not Lu Xingshi's own proof.
He is not an ordinary person, and Sirius does not have the power to make peace with him. He cannot just let you say whatever he wants.
We can't just randomly accuse Lu Xingshi, Viscount Langton, without even relying on my opinion to frame him successfully. I really think that the soldiers and guards under him are useless.
Lu Xingshi was a real lord with real power, even if he was just a viscount.
Sirius wasn't too surprised when he heard this.
"Lord Viscount, this is not what I said, it is just a necessary process. We naturally do not have any evidence that you are related to these two things." Sirius will definitely not confront Lu Xingshi head-on.
This is the Black Territory, not the royal capital. If Lu Xingshi wants to take action, he can't resist.
Of course, in the royal capital, he could only run away and not dare to resist Lu Xingshi.
After all, he is just a scholar. He has a status, but he is not as good as a noble.
"So, how do I need to cooperate with you, Advisor Siris, to eliminate my suspicion?" Lu Xingshi said, casually taking out a piece of earth element essence, which was of course of inferior quality.
This thing is much better than gold coins.
As a scholar, Sirius had never come into contact with elemental essences, but he had seen them in books.
Seeing Lu Xingshi making such a generous move, his eyes lit up.
"Well, I think it's just a misunderstanding." Sirius confirmed directly.
"Advisor Siris is indeed very knowledgeable, but I still want to ask, is it possible that the disappearance of mudstone in Haipa Principality is related to more than just the royal family's investigation and me." Lu Xingshi continued to ask.
When Sirius heard this, he wondered why he was so generous. It turned out that he had guessed something and wanted to get confirmation from him.
"It was Archduke Hypa who mentioned you, Viscount Langton, that made you suspicious. Otherwise, no matter what it is, it has nothing to do with you."
"But don't worry, I have confirmed the truth."
"Both things were done by wizards who fled into the kingdom." Sirius said decisively.
Between Grand Duke Haipa and Lu Xingshi, they definitely favored Lu Xingshi.
Needless to say, Grand Duke Haipa did not give him any benefits when he was operating, but Lu Xingshi did.
So it’s clear who to speak for.
As for fear of offending Grand Duke Haipa? Sirius understood one thing, he was an advisor to the royal family, not to Archduke Hypa.
And even if Lu Xingshi didn't give it, he wouldn't help Grand Duke Haipa too much, because neither of them gave it, so he would handle the case impartially.
But he also knew that no matter how impartial he was in handling the case, he would ultimately be labeled as a wizard.
"As expected of Advisor Sirius, it's a pity that my Black Earth Territory is too small, and I am only a viscount, otherwise I would definitely invite Advisor Sirius to be my advisor." Lu Xingshi complimented.
Of course Sirius could hear Lu Xingshi's compliment, but who wouldn't like to hear this compliment when everyone was carrying the sedan chair.
In particular, Lu Xingshi was still a powerful noble lord, far more powerful than the group of canonized feudal nobles in the royal capital.
"No, no, no, Viscount Langton is a pioneer lord. If I hadn't been appointed as the royal advisor, I would have been honored to be your advisor." Sirius responded.
The two of them complimented me so much, but they all meant the same thing. I never thought of recruiting you, and you wouldn't defect to me. They were all nice words, but they were of no use at all.
"Advisor Siris is coming from the royal capital. It's better to rest in the Black Territory for a few days so that we can communicate with the advisor." Lu Xingshi thought about gathering some information from the other party.
Sirius refused: "I'm afraid it's not very convenient. I still need to visit other nobles, so I can't delay."
What he said was true. The first person to come was the Black Earth Territory where Lu Xingshi was located. He would need to visit other people later.
After all, the death of Viscount Moko, excluding Grand Duke Haipa as a factor, actually made Lu Xingshi the least suspect.
Whoever makes the biggest profit will be the most suspect.
Lu Xingshi's profit was indeed not much, so Sirius himself didn't quite believe it when he was said to be the most suspicious.
"That's such a pity." Lu Xingshi said regretfully.
He didn't force him to stay. The other party was a royal adviser. If he really wasn't in his territory, he could only be said to be guilty.
Seeing Lu Xingshi like this, Sirius felt helpless. What's the pity? Compared with the prosperous royal capital, your black soil territory is completely different. How could he be willing to stay for two days?
After completing his mission, he wished he could return to the capital and continue his life of debauchery.
