Chapter 898: Mind Twister Flanders
The various inventories and warehousing came to an end soon, and Lu Xingshi entertained Cato and Buri with a farewell banquet.
Just as he was waiting to leave, the housekeeper hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter? Come in and talk about it." Lu Xingshi saw the other party's condition and then said.
In this situation, the other party is obviously hesitating to say or not to say anything.
"Sir, Flanders wants to see you," the steward said.
When Lu Xingshi heard this, he was wondering, who is Flanders?
Why didn't he have the slightest impression? He turned around in his mind and realized that this person was definitely not a high-ranking member of the empire.
If it were a high-level figure in the Orei Empire, he would definitely not let the butler convey it, let alone be called by his first name.
Then there are the skilled craftsmen in the principality. Even if such people come to him, they cannot come to him now. Instead, they will wait until Lu Xingshi is free.
No matter how urgent it was, the housekeeper would not be able to come and report at this time.
"It's the former Viscount Langton, right? He's not studying art at the Imperial Academy of Art, so why is he back?" Cato interjected.
He noticed Lu Xingshi's doubts. Apparently Lu Xingshi, Grand Duke Langton, had long forgotten the playboy of his predecessor.
Cato also knew something about Flanders Langton. After all, the empire once thought of using the former Viscount Langton to deal with Lu Xingshi, but it was finally abandoned because Flanders was too useless.
After hearing this, Lu Xingshi finally understood who Flanders was. He was the 'talent' who gave up the title to him, plundered all the money from the territory, and even collected taxes fifty years later.
"No, he gave up the surname Langton and took away all the property in the territory when he left."
"I must have encountered some difficulty. Give him some gold coins and let him go."
"If he comes again next time, just beat him out." Lu Xingshi directly told the other party to get lost.
If Cato and Buri weren't here, Lu Xingshi wouldn't have even planned to give him any money and would just call them out.
"I don't think Flanders necessarily came to Grand Duke Langton to ask for money. Maybe it has something to do with Princess Lena." Bree chuckled, and he knew more about the inside story.
Lu Xingshi signaled the housekeeper to slow down, and then asked: "What? Is he pursuing Princess Lina?"
"Yes, he is indeed pursuing Princess Lena, and he is still the most enthusiastic pursuer. The behavior of the royal family is no less than..." Brie was talking, but was interrupted by the noisy voice outside.
"You despicable and shameless thief, you stole my title!!!" Flanders roared, and then he broke in angrily, pointed at Lu Xingshi's nose and cursed: "You are just a wandering knight, why? Qualified to become the Duke of the Empire."
After these two words were cursed, both Cato and Buri were a little confused. Lu Xingshi was not only a wandering knight, but also a beggar. With his Moonlight Werewolf troops and his own powerful strength, Lu Xingshi had a stable territory. How could he Just not qualified.
"You must be Flanders." Lu Xingshi said calmly: "My title was inherited and promoted through the legal procedures of the Voss Kingdom and the Orei Empire. How could I steal your title?"
"You have given up the surname of the Langton family. You are able to come here and point at me and scold me. You are not dead yet. It is just for the sake of your surname. Langton."
"If you are after gold coins, I will ask the butler to get you a thousand gold coins, and then go back to your art academy to study art."
"If you had any other ideas, you might not be able to get out of the castle."
Since the other party scolded him right away, Lu Xingshi would naturally not give Flanders a good attitude.
It was already pretty good without killing him.
"You!" Flanders did not expect that Lu Xingshi would be so shameless, taking possession of his own things and threatening him.
"Mr. Buri, General Cato, you have also heard the arrogance of this thief. How could the empire..." Flanders chose Cato and Buri instead. In his opinion, these two people are his own people and will definitely move towards him. Own.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Brie.
"Okay, Flanders, Grand Duke Langton's title has indeed been recognized through the legal procedures of the Kingdom of Voss and the Orei Empire."
"If you have any demands, you can go to the Imperial Court of Arbitration to go through the legal process." Bree said in a business-like tone
If Flanders only had the first half of the sentence and didn't involve the empire, Bree would definitely be in trouble. , but absolutely must not, Flanders wanted to break the situation where the empire and Lu Xingshi could not tolerate peaceful coexistence.
Naturally, Nabri couldn't tolerate it.
Flanders' face turned dark. He had deceived himself, but he also understood one thing. Go to the Imperial Court of Arbitration to sue Lu Xingshi? The chances of success are slim.
Because all the evidence shows that he gave up the Langton family name and gave up the title of viscount to Lu Xingshi himself.
So if he really had to go through the formal procedures, he would definitely not be able to get the title of Grand Duke Langton.
Without this title, how could he pursue art and marry Princess Lena?
"If this is just the royal family's method, it really makes me a little disappointed." Lu Xingshi sighed: "Just relying on this waste? You also want to take away my power and title?"
"Even if he becomes Grand Duke Langton, do you think anyone in my principality will listen to him?"
"Do you listen?" Lu Xingshi asked the housekeeper casually.
When Flanders heard this, his eyes were immediately filled with confidence.
If you ask other people, he may not be confident, but if you ask the housekeeper, he is definitely confident.
After all, the housekeeper has watched him grow up and is his most loyal slave. How could he turn to others?
"My lord, the loyalty of everyone in the principality to you cannot be questioned." The butler didn't even look at Flanders.
This is a scam, how can it be compared to Lu Xingshi. At the beginning, I just took the money and ran away, and I was still doing things very hard.
Unlike Lu Xingshi, he became a Grand Duke in just a few years, and even his son became a canonized knight. The father and son had considerable power.
It is completely different from when I was dawdling around in the Black Earth Territory.
"You...how dare you betray your master!" Flanders couldn't believe that the butler would actually be loyal to a man who was a wandering knight and give up his master for many years.
"Okay, kick him out."
"Mr. Buri, remember to take him back to the Imperial Capital and let him study well at the Imperial Academy of Art."
"If he doesn't leave, you will cancel Flanders' place of origin in the Orei Empire and his academic status in the academy, so that he will not be able to enter the empire again for the rest of his life."
"I think, with Mr. Buri's ability, he can do it." Lu Xingshi said without hesitation.
"Grand Duke Langton, this behavior is against the laws of the empire."
"But as a noble, you have judicial power in your principality." Brie reminded.
This means that you can kill him directly without any problem.
"For a waste? It's not worth it." Lu Xingshi didn't take Flanders seriously at all.
When Flanders heard Lu Xingshi insulting him in this way, his eyes turned red and he wanted to take a bite out of Lu Xingshi's body.
The reason why he didn't do this was not because he held back, but because he was held down by two moonlight werewolves.
"Remember to take that Princess Lina back with you to save some trash from jealousy." Lu Xingshi said.
When Lu Xingshi said this, Flender's movement suddenly became quieter.
"You are insulting Princess Lena's beauty!" Flender's brain didn't know what to think, and this time it was even more crazy.
Then he was dragged down, beaten, and thrown out directly.
Cato and Buri looked slightly embarrassed.
As far as Flanders' situation is concerned, it doesn't take much to figure out that the royal family is behind it.
Lu Xingshi had just joined the empire, and the royal family came to make trouble. It would be a lie to say he was not angry.
Fortunately, Lu Xingshi was very sensible and saw through the royal family's methods directly.
"The aristocracy and royal family of the empire have this little ability? They use witchcraft and witchcraft to influence Flanders, who is not smart at all, and turn him into a fool."
"They are not treating Flanders as a fool, they are treating me as a fool." Lu Xingshi was not used to them.
There may be something wrong with Flanders' brain circuit, but he could go from the Kingdom of Vos to the Orei Empire, obtain the citizenship of the Orei Empire and be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Art, how could he be so confused?
Not to mention too much, just the two processes of traveling and obtaining nationality. If he really had such a weird personality, he would have been deported long ago.
Well, even if there were, it would not be to this extent.
Moreover, Lu Xingshi could see the remaining traces of the other party's spirit, which obviously changed Flanders' mind.
This kind of mental change is permanent. If he wants to recover, he can only use mental change again, otherwise he will be this unclear licking dog for the rest of his life.
"We don't know much about this matter. It is the behavior of the aristocracy and the royal family themselves."
"We will help you solve this small problem as soon as possible. Please give us a face and save Flanders' life." Cato said.
Flanders cannot die. With him, the Steam Faction is fully capable of delivering a major blow to the Noble Faction and the Royal Family.
"Okay, but if he causes trouble for me again, General Gato, you won't have the face." Lu Xingshi agreed.
It's just a favor that goes along with the flow.
"But you still have to give me the explanation that needs to be given." Lu Xingshi said: "I don't remember where I have offended the aristocracy and the royal family."
"They had to use such despicable means to insult me."
Lu Xingshi felt that this was not a calculation at all, but an insult.
Even if there are no traces of Flanders' mental state, Flanders' mentally retarded behavior will not only have no effect, but will also arouse Lu Xingshi's vigilance.
"No, Grand Duke Langton, you actually have it." Brie suddenly spoke: "The nobles in your principality are also nobles."
Having said this, Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes and slaughtered the nobles to ensure his power. This meant that he did not want to see the nobles. The noble faction in the empire naturally regarded him as an enemy.
The aristocrats are real aristocrats, and they really pay attention to these things.
