Chapter 873 News from the Royal Capital: Dramatic changes in the king’s family
“Something’s wrong. It stands to reason that since I extracted the werewolf curse, the total amount will be reduced.”
"But the amount of the werewolf curse in Blue's body, even though I extracted far more than the total amount, still hasn't changed."
"What is this? Is energy conservation invalid or is there another source?"
Lu Xingshi looked at the werewolf curse and felt that the problem was a bit serious. If nothing else happened, Blue might not be a werewolf, but an endless energy extractor.
As for whose energy was extracted, it is currently tentatively determined to be the God of the Moon and Beasts from the Star God System.
"Just doing this, will it cause problems?" Lu Xingshi hesitated.
For example, if you were pumped too hard, something happened to the moon or the beast mutated.
"It seems that we don't need to consider this issue very much now..." Lu Xingshi suddenly realized something, that is, the premise of excessive smoking causing problems is that Lu Xingshi found a way to use the werewolf curse.
Otherwise, even if it is taken out, it will just be a curse.
Curses are never a good thing.
Lu Xingshi, who has the Great Vow Bodhisattva, naturally understands that the essence of curse is harm, without any positive nature.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Lu Xingshi will not use it on a large scale. At most, it will only be developed.
Even the Great Vow Bodhisattva only uses curses as a basis for strength, rather than actually using curses.
If it weren't for the lack of progress in the various projects of this game villain, Lu Xingshi would not be able to study the werewolf curse.
"Let's use it as energy for now."
"As for developing it into a weapon..."
"It's really a bit overkill."
Lu Xingshi's idea is very simple. If the werewolf curse can be extracted continuously, then as long as the corresponding clean energy can be developed, the rest of the things will be easy to handle.
With the Werewolf Curse as the core for boiling water, what if we don’t have a stone-throwing weapon?
It is impossible to form a large-scale energy wash through energy, which is far more powerful than creating a werewolf army.
At best, the werewolf army can only charge with cold weapons, but once clean energy is used as a help, it will directly enter a new era.
As for saying that this world is a Western fantasy? The energy created by Lu Xingshi using the werewolf curse is also a Western-style fantasy energy.
If the robot doesn't look good, it can be replaced by a puppet or a golem. If the style of the aircraft or cannon doesn't match, it can be called a magic weapon. Even energy weapons can be called taboo witchcraft.
If you change the name, the appearance will move closer to the Middle Ages, which is basically not a problem.
"Then the next step is to use the werewolf curse as a basis to develop a device that can directly extract the werewolf curse without using the cursed body of Blue."
Lu Xingshi said that we will discuss the problems caused by over-development and extraction of the werewolf curse later and believe in the wisdom of future generations.
If the wisdom of future generations cannot be trusted, there is actually a solution, waiting for Lu Xingshi's real body to come over.
This device is not only used to extract the werewolf curse, but also a device used by Lu Xingshi to locate the source of the curse.
Since you plan to harvest wool, the most important thing is to control the sheep in your own hands.
Although the sheep belonged to someone else, it didn't affect Lu Xingshi's ability to grab it.
Anyway, he didn’t know whose it was, so he had the ability to jump out and hit him.
Well, if he really wanted to jump out and beat him, Lu Xingshi might not be able to beat him.
His current situation is quite special. There are indeed few people who are his opponents on the bright side, but the problem is that he himself is in the dark, so his enemies are also those who only appear on the bright side as the tip of the iceberg, rather than really weak. chicken.
While experimenting, try to trace the source.
But before it went on for long, he was interrupted by the housekeeper's hurried knock on the door.
"What happened?" Lu Xingshi opened the door and asked.
The butler's knock on the door was not only loud, but also very urgent, much faster than usual.
Obviously something big happened, otherwise the usually calm butler would not be like this.
"Sir, the king died of a sudden illness. The princess succeeded to the throne and announced that the queen was a witch. She used witchcraft to make the king sick and die." The steward's brief words immediately silenced Lu Xingshi.
"What's the specific time?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"It's after the winter hunting." The butler said without hesitation.
He definitely didn't know the specific time. The Black Earth Territory's strength had indeed increased, but it was still lacking in many aspects, such as the intelligence system.
It's already very good to know this. I'm afraid only the grand dukes will have more detailed information.
"It seems to be premeditated." Lu Xingshi was sure that Catherine, who became the queen, did not lie. There was a high probability that the queen killed the king.
However, she also definitely concealed some things in between.
That's why she could succeed so easily?
"Is there more?" Lu Xingshi asked again.
"Yes! The queen has issued a decree that anyone who can cut off the queen's head will be rewarded generously." The housekeeper said quickly.
Lu Xingshi was speechless when he heard that he was also richly rewarded. As long as he didn't clearly point out what he was giving, then what he was given was definitely not a good thing.
The simplest thing is to give you a sum of gold coins, which is indeed a lot of money. The problem is that you can't keep it at all.
The Kingdom of Vos is ruled by the nobles and the king together. Coincidentally, the nobles are very greedy. If they are given 10,000 gold coins, it would be great to have one gold coin in one round.
"Also, the death of the king caused several surrounding kingdoms to start looking for reasons to go to war."
"Queen Catherine's character is well known..." the butler added.
When Lu Xingshi heard this, he thought this was very reasonable. For a cowardly princess to become a queen, in the eyes of the surrounding countries, even the flesh without the spikes would make them want to take a bite.
Even if Catherine is pretending.
One disadvantage of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is that if you pretend to be a pig for a long time, no one will take you seriously even if you are really capable.
And over time, it really turns into a pig.
Lu Xingshi is a low-key person. If anyone dares to think that he is easy to bully, he really dares to do something.
Just like when Grand Duke Hypa attacked him, he cut off the other's illegitimate son's head and sent it over to show that he was not someone to be bullied.
"I understand, prepare for the coming war."
"The location of the Black Earth Territory may be relatively remote, but the queen may not let us go," Lu Xingshi said.
According to Winter Wolf's analysis, Catherine is an undead witch, and there are a large number of alien bones in the permanently frozen mountains where she is located. These are the resources she needs.
In this case, Lu Xingshi would become a thorn in the opponent's side.
If she wants it, Lu Xingshi may not give it to her.
Then there is no conflict.
Furthermore, even if Lu Xingshi gives it, the other party does not necessarily only want the bones. The best solution is to get rid of him and then take the Black Earth Territory and the entire Permafrost Mountains in his hands.
This kind of thing that is related to one's wealth and life is naturally different between being in one's own hands and being in the hands of others.
Nine out of ten people will choose the former.
The reason why the remaining person doesn't choose this way is probably because he can't do it rather than because he doesn't want to do it.
The butler's expression became serious. He didn't understand why Lu Xingshi said that the queen would not let them go, but this was not a problem he should consider. What should be considered was what to do next.
"Sir, with the size of the Black Earth Territory, once the war starts, we will not be able to resist at all."
"If the Kingdom of Voss is defeated, maybe..." The housekeeper listed many possibilities. In fact, he was not optimistic about Catherine. After all, her external image was just that of a cowardly person.
This is the result of pretending to be Inoku, and the morale of the entire Voss Kingdom has been shaken because of this.
And even if Catherine recruits her next time, the noble lords will hesitate again and again.
If it were the king, he would respond immediately instead of hesitating.
"Don't worry, the Kingdom of Voss can't be defeated." Lu Xingshi could see the short-term turmoil in the Kingdom of Voss, but Catherine, the new queen, was not really a pretty girl.
She is a piranha, and maybe she will use this turmoil to cleanse her and concentrate the power of the entire kingdom even more in her hands.
Not to mention that she is an undead witch.
"Protecting ourselves is the most important thing. For the Black Earth Territory, the danger does not come from other countries, but from the queen." Lu Xingshi said calmly.
Hearing Lu Xingshi's emphasis again, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lu Xingshi must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.
"Then we should..." The housekeeper could only tentatively ask what to do.
"Gather food and train troops. Otherwise, what else can we do? You can discuss this matter with them yourself." The people Lu Xingshi was talking about were naturally the three territorial officers.
Lu Xingshi didn't have time to deal with such a trivial matter. What would happen if he called him? He really thought he was a vegetarian.
As long as he was not disturbed, even if there was a river of blood being beaten outside, Lu Xingshi might not even take a look.
On the contrary, as long as the system using the werewolf curse as energy source is completed, the next step will be much easier.
With the support of energy, Lu Xingshi would not have many problems in self-preservation, not to mention sweeping the world.
"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away." The housekeeper naturally knows how to collect food and train troops, so there is no need for Lu Xingshi to remind him.
However, it is not easy to implement these four words.
One sentence at the beginning will lead to a broken leg at the end. This is an eternal truth.
After the housekeeper left, Lu Xingshi sighed: "Look, you are killing yourself."
"You have to find a dark wizard. Is this something you can control?"
Lu Xingshi was still very sorry for the king's death. The other party was the paper framer of the Kingdom of Voss.
As long as he lives, even if there are internal and external troubles, he can maintain a balance and nothing will happen.
"It's better now. The turbulence of the power transition coupled with the imminent turmoil of the countries, even if it calms down, the entire Kingdom of Vos will be severely damaged."
The outbreak of war is only a matter of time, and at most it will be delayed. As the weak party, the Kingdom of Vos has no right to speak.
