Chapter 855 Frost Giant Skeleton? Top luxury goods for nobles!
After Lu Xingshi returned to the Black Earth Territory, the advancement of the entire Black Earth Territory began.
It is indeed not that easy to develop in the early stage, but the residents are still very enthusiastic about work.
Because Lu Xingshi has implemented a KPI assessment system, there are rewards for the top 100, and the higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards.
In addition to individual rewards, there are also team rewards, year-end bonuses, etc.
It's really a benefit, so naturally everyone works hard.
Expenditure will definitely increase, but it will change from paying for a villa and a car to only paying for the villa.
But the efficiency has been accelerated and the time has been reduced. A careful comparison shows that not only is the progress faster, but the benefits will be greater.
After all, within the same time requirement, one has completed one project and the other has completed five projects. There is a big gap.
Lu Xingshi is not one of those black-hearted nobles who just want the horses to run and not let them eat grass.
Because of the good treatment, coupled with the king's encouragement and his own luck in improving, the development process not only progressed quickly but also went smoothly.
Then Lu Xingshi began to gradually let go, and turned to studying the resentment of ice and snow while creating his own skills.
Naturally, there are gains. Through research on the resentment of ice and snow, Lu Xingshi found that this thing is somewhat similar to rules and regulations, but the direction is very serious, only ice and snow.
In addition, there is a collection of information on the God of Winter and Ice and Snow, and some have been found so far.
For example, ballads, legends, etc., but not many.
But Lu Xingshi also found a more important piece of information.
That is, the God of Winter, Ice and Snow has an incarnation, a divine being named Winter Wolf, who can spit out cold air that freezes all things.
The snow wolf is said to be the descendant of the winter wolf.
That's why snow wolves are not afraid of the cold winter.
Lu Xingshi was certain that the giant wolf he met on the Permafrost Mountains was a winter wolf.
This means that the other party is the God of Winter, Ice and Snow himself or the remnants of his divinity after death.
Lu Xingshi preferred the latter. If he had not died, there would be no way for Lu Xingshi to leave the Permafrost Mountains alive.
It is precisely because the winter wolf is the remnant of divinity after death that it cannot leave the wind and snow. Once it leaves a livable environment, it will be weakened at the least, and may die directly in the worst case.
That's why the opponent was beaten by Lu Xingshi while also having the means to make a comeback.
"In this case, wouldn't it mean that the winter wolf cannot be captured and can only be studied on the spot?"
"But having said that, the winter wolf is a god, and the priesthood is winter and ice and snow. What is the godhead?" Lu Xingshi noticed another problem.
He studied it and concluded that gods have divinity, priesthood, and godhead, and the trinity formed the gods themselves.
As for the Kingdom of God, this is not very clear at the moment. It should be similar to some kind of alien space or simply derived from gods.
Otherwise, the Permafrost Mountains are both the dead body of the God of Winter, Ice and Snow, and his Kingdom of God. He cannot be integrated with the Kingdom of God after his death.
It's possible, but Lu Xingshi doesn't really believe it.
"Besides, what is Ragnarok?" Lu Xingshi followed the question and asked another question.
Anyway, it's not in the record, and Lu Xingshi is also a little confused.
The more I study, the more various questions arise.
"The kingdom is still too small. I just don't know if there are any larger empires."
Lu Xingshi sighed. He had previously thought of getting the Godhead first, but now he found that the Godhead was only a part and a more complete sample was needed.
For example, the entire permanently frozen mountain range, including the Wind and Snow Godhead, the Divine Winter Wolf, etc. This is no small project.
The black soil collar alone cannot do it.
Just as he was thinking about it, the housekeeper hurried over and knocked on the door: "Sir, the people dug something out at the foot of the Permafrost Mountains."
When Lu Xingshi opened the door, this was what the other person said as soon as he opened the door.
"What?" Lu Xingshi asked.
He wouldn't be surprised to find anything dug out in the permafrost mountains. After all, it was the corpse of a god and his kingdom.
"It's...a huge skeleton. From the appearance, it looks very similar to a human being."
"But it definitely can't be human. No one can be that big." The steward said confidently.
"That's a giant." Lu Xingshi said calmly.
It is true that there are no giants in this era, but it is not that there were no giants before.
It's just that it is extinct now...well, it may not necessarily be extinct. After all, there are even winter wolves, so it is reasonable to have a giant.
"Let's go, lead me to have a look." Lu Xingshi said.
The territory and supplies that were developed naturally belonged to Lu Xingshi, the Earl of Langton.
Lu Xingshi is the one who gives it to them. If he doesn't give it, they can only stare.
The housekeeper took Lu Xingshi to the scene. The residents were digging out most of the skeleton, but the lower body was still in the soil.
Seeing Lu Xingshi's arrival, the people present saluted immediately.
Lu Xingshi asked them to continue working, and then began to explore the skeleton. "Frost Giant." Lu Xingshi quickly determined the species of the giant through simple observation and the traces of elemental particles on its bones.
In addition to the traces of elemental particles, it is mainly due to the fact that this is a permanently frozen mountain range. It is impossible for a fire giant to appear. That would be outrageous.
It is said that the Frost Giants are one of the followers of the God of Winter, Ice and Snow. They have a strong body and the power to fear the cold. Every winter, they will overcome obstacles and open up patrol roads for the God of Winter, Ice and Snow.
Moreover, the frost giants also live and migrate with the snow wolves.
"Another...another one!!!"
Just as Lu Xingshi was inspecting the skull, a citizen shouted again.
"Let's arrange for someone to take a look." Lu Xingshi did not go over, but continued to explore the skull.
There was a huge and obvious depression on the skull of this frost giant, as if it had been forcibly broken by some kind of blunt instrument.
This injury was the cause of death of this frost giant.
Through the traces of wounds, Lu Xingshi made reference to the model and then inserted the data of the Shield of the Earth King.
"It matches perfectly, so he was killed by the Earth King's Shield." Lu Xingshi muttered.
Now it is certain that the enemy the Langton family is fighting is the remaining extraordinary life of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow.
As for why there are so many Frost Giant bones here, it is naturally because they need to be disposed of after death, so burying them is suitable.
If nothing else happens, this place is likely to be a mass grave for the Frost Giants.
"I remember that the followers of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow are not only frost giants, but also other species." Lu Xingshi recalled that there were also frost dragons, plateau orcs, frost elves, etc.
There were quite a few of their dependents, so Lu Xingshi suspected that there must be mass graves of other species around.
"Sir, we have dug up another body. We..." Another leader shouted loudly.
"Tell them to stop digging. These skeletons are of no use." Lu Xingshi asked the housekeeper to take care of it.
Because the elemental particle environment has greatly diminished, these skeletons have no extraordinary value at all. Even if they are stewed into bone soup and drunk, Lu Xingshi feels that they are not nutritious enough.
"Sir, this is the skeleton of a giant. If we transport it out and sell it, we can get a lot of gold coins." The financial officer came a little late, but he was not responsible for development.
After hearing that a huge skeleton was excavated in the pioneer area, he naturally rushed over immediately.
"How much can it be sold for?" Lu Xingshi asked casually.
"Nobles would place a giant skeleton in their collection room or treasury to show the glory of the family."
"I think it won't be a problem to sell a skeleton for one thousand gold. If it's farther away, ten thousand gold won't be a problem."
"But I suggest that you choose the strongest and most complete skeleton and donate it to the king."
"After all, even the king owns it, so other nobles will naturally want it." The financial officer gave Lu Xingshi an idea.
When Lu Xingshi thought about it, it seemed that there was some truth in it. The combination of good deeds and rare things being more valuable could indeed be sold at a good price. For the nobles, they could work hard to attract the people, but they must not lose face.
"Wouldn't there be enough manpower to do this..." Lu Xingshi asked.
"You have sent the giant to the king as a sign of sincerity. If you go to the king to ask for someone, you will definitely give it to him because of the king's generosity." The financial officer said without hesitation.
It doesn't matter if there is no one, just ask the king for it.
I gave him all my face, so I had to give him something in return.
"Okay, then arrange for someone to come and dig it up. Be careful and don't let me ruin the quality."
"As for the big hole in the skull, find a few craftsmen to repair it and design it like..." Lu Xingshi quickly came up with a plan.
Since it is to be sold as a commodity, it must not be ambiguous. After all, it is expensive and the emotional value must be given.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi planned to fill the wound position of the frost giant skeleton with the family emblem of the noble buyer, and if he paid more money, he could also make it into a shape that was killed by the ancestor of the opponent's noble family.
You can even customize actions, such as kneeling on one knee to surrender, surrendering to the ground, etc.
It's easy to talk if you have money.
Listening to Lu Xingshi's plan, the financial officer's eyes almost shone brightly.
"Sir, my estimate was wrong. The price of one thousand gold coins is a bit low."
"You have to start with at least 10,000 gold coins, and there is no upper limit. You can also build the giant skeleton into round tables, sculptures, etc., and you can also inlay gold and silver jewelry to make the giant more luxurious."
"As long as they can afford it, craftsmen can turn the giant skeleton into a symbol of luxury."
"But before that, the giant skeleton presented to the king must be the most luxurious one as a sign of respect and loyalty." In fact, the real meaning of the financial officer's words is to pay homage to the dock.
If the king is happy, he will not block their business.
The main thing is to give an attitude.
Lu Xingshi naturally understood this truth, and after meeting the divine winter wolf, he was ready to keep a low profile.
"I'll leave this matter to you. You must satisfy the king. No matter how much you spend, don't worry, you will make it all back." Lu Xingshi agreed directly.
But since it was you who proposed it, I leave it to you to supervise it.
