Chapter 904 I know the empire is difficult, but let’s not be difficult yet
“Grand Duke Langton, please see if this is the six-sided magic mirror you need.”
Buri visited the Principality of Langton again, and as usual, Lu Xingshi received him.
After arriving, Brie showed no courtesy. The first thing he said when he saw Lu Xingshi was to ask his subordinates to carry the six-sided magic mirror.
"The empire is indeed very powerful, and its sincerity is actually given so quickly." Lu Xingshi carefully inspected the six-sided magic mirror, and then nodded: "Yes, they are all true."
How to tell the authenticity from the fake is actually very simple. He has the power of the earth mixed with fighting spirit and magic power, so he only needs to simply activate it.
If it can be activated, it means it is true. If it cannot be activated, it is false.
After receiving Lu Xingshi's answer, Bu Li felt relieved. He was also afraid that there were fake ones mixed in.
If this magic mirror is missing, trying to find it again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"As long as you are satisfied, Grand Duke, but I don't know about moon energy stone energy technology..." Brie means that next, we can talk about the transaction of purchasing this technology from Lu Xingshi.
As a result, before he could finish speaking, Lu Xingshi threw a parchment scroll directly to Bri.
"Inside, you can let the steam expert you brought to check it." Lu Xingshi interrupted him.
Bree, who hurriedly took the scroll, looked confused, puzzled and surprised.
He originally thought that he would have to argue with Lu Xingshi for at least half a month, and then pay a sufficient price before he could get it.
He never expected that Lu Xingshi would give it to him so readily.
"Thank you Grand Duke for your support of the empire." Bree said this sincerely.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I gave you the technology first. It doesn't mean that there will be no subsequent rewards." How could Lu Xingshi give it to you for nothing?
"Then I don't know what Grand Duke Langton wants. As long as the empire can do it, he will not be stingy." Brie did not have a bottom-line guarantee, but only gave Lu Xingshi what the empire could do, and it must not affect the empire.
"I have already read the books that were shipped from the imperial capital." Lu Xingshi laid the groundwork before saying, "I want the empire to help me capture the Immortal Dragon."
"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Brie hesitated and said, "According to the frontline battle report, the empire's defense line has been moved back several times on the battlefield in the Dragon Mountains."
"If nothing happens, in another half month at most, the empire may be forced to evacuate the battlefield of the Dragon Mountain Range."
To put it mildly, in reality they were defeated and had to give up the territory formerly occupied by the Orei Empire in the Dragon Mountains.
"Even if the defense line does not move back, no one has seen the Immortal Dragon for many years. Maybe it is in other areas of the Dragon Mountains."
"Why don't you, Grand Duke Langton, make another request?" Bree almost made it clear that he couldn't do it.
The so-called other areas are in the territories of other empires. One or two Aurelian empires can still negotiate with each other, but unfortunately there are too many and it is really impossible to negotiate.
Lu Xingshi was very happy this time, so the empire would not restrict him, so he could agree to any request for money, food or women.
However, Lu Xingshi did not answer immediately, but tapped his index finger on the table.
It took a long time before he spoke.
"Mr. Bree, you also know that the breathing method of our Langton family is called "Earth Element Breathing Method", and it has an inextricable connection with the earth god system." This is pure fart, isn't it just a name? What origin can there be? It's just an excuse to put money on one's face.
"The Dragon Mountain Range was once the kingdom of the God of Earth and Life, and the Immortal Dragon was the incarnation of his divinity."
"I don't really care about power. I want to follow in the footsteps of my ancestors."
"So my conditions will not change. After all, you should understand how precious the moonstone energy technology is." Lu Xingshi said bluntly.
For Lu Xingshi, the policies and resources that could take the Langton Principality further were far inferior to the power that made him stronger.
"However, the empire really cannot meet your requirements, Grand Duke Langton." Bree said with a bitter look on his face.
No wonder it was given so readily, it turned out to be waiting for him here.
"If you make things difficult for me, I can't do it."
"I suggest you change your request." Bree really had no choice.
Lu Xingshi touched his chin and said with a smile, "It's not that there is no solution."
"As long as the empire's defense line covers the entire Dragon Mountain Range, then I can concentrate on pursuing traces of the God of Earth and Life."
"Whether it's the Dragon Mountain Range or the Immortal Dragon, the Empire will definitely be able to help me."
Bri instantly understood what Lu Xingshi meant.
He just wanted to take command and conquer the entire Dragon Mountain Range.
Although Bri had never seen how capable Lu Xingshi was in fighting, he knew that with a force of 10,000 Moonlight Werewolves, he had captured the imperial beast Cato alive and captured most of the original 50,000 steam soldiers, and the rest were naturally dead.
So in terms of strength, there is no doubt.
Otherwise, why would the empire include Lu Xingshi, Grand Duke Langton, on the list of candidates for activation?
"Grand Duke Langton, I can understand your thoughts, but your identity and status are quite sensitive among the higher-ups in the empire."
"I don't have enough ability to convince the top management." Brie told the truth.
"The moon energy stone energy technology is not up to par?" Lu Xingshi asked with a smile.
"You are qualified, but the higher-ups in the empire don't trust you." What Bree said was also the thought of the higher-ups in the empire. Let Lu Xingshi take 10,000 Moonlight Werewolf troops directly across most of the empire? If we were to kill him halfway to the imperial capital, we can only imagine what would happen.
At the beginning, Cato and fifty thousand steam soldiers could not stop Lu Xingshi. The number of troops in the empire was indeed more than fifty thousand, but it was too scattered.
Taking the Imperial Capital as an example, there are only 30,000 steam soldiers in total.
The probability of Lu Xingshi coming over and occupying the imperial capital is not small.
"I have shown my sincerity. The goal from beginning to end is the Dragon Mountain Range." Lu Xingshi also has a headache with this problem.
"Based on your behavior, I believe in Grand Duke Langton's loyalty." Bree nodded in agreement: "But I can't convince the senior officials of the empire."
Then it got stuck here.
He scratched his head and then said: "Let's see, you go back with the energy technology and tell the senior management about my request."
"If they agree, the rest will be easy."
"If you don't agree...this energy technology will be given to the empire." When Lu Xingshi said this, his tone became cold.
Now it was Brie's turn to panic.
It was originally an independent principality, but Lu Xingshi would not listen to the announcement. If there was a request, it showed that he could still use interests to bind the other party.
But if there are no more requirements, it means that the restraints will be completely lost.
There is already a problem in the Dragon Mountains in the south. If there is another problem in the Principality of Langton in the Permafrost Mountains in the north, the Orei Empire will really be in danger.
It can be seen from this that Lu Xingshi really wanted to go to the Dragon Mountain Range and was very decisive.
His attitude indirectly meant that either the empire would invite him there, or he would fight there himself.
"After all, the empire was prepared to support Flanders, the former Viscount Langton, to replace me." Lu Xingshi gave another reason. It was not that I was disloyal, but that the empire was unkind in the first place.
"But Flanders will be hanged today." Brie said quickly.
"Oh, the Imperial Court of Arbitration accepted his complaint, which means that the Empire recognizes the legality of his behavior."
"And until now, the final verdict has not been issued."
"On behalf of the empire, I am hesitating whether I am the Grand Duke of Langton or Flanders is the Grand Duke of Langton."
"Since the empire does not recognize my orthodoxy and legal principles..."
At this point, Lu Xingshi chuckled, but did not continue.
But Buri can hear what Lu Xingshi means. If you don't agree with it, then he will not rebel, but restore the country.
This made Bri's forehead sweat drop. He didn't expect Lu Xingshi to be so stubborn and planned to break with the empire as soon as he opened his mouth.
If the Principality of Langton were to secede, the blow to the empire would be no less than the fall of the Dragon Mountains in the south.
"I will explain the pros and cons of this matter to the empire and do my best to obtain your request from the Grand Duke." Brie had no choice this time.
All I can say is that he tried his best, no matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do.
To be honest, this was the first time he had met a person like Lu Xingshi, who was quite reckless and disregarded power for the sake of power.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Buri." Lu Xingshi handed him a towel.
Bri wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then said: "It's all for the development of the empire, so why bother?"
"It's just that I don't understand. Is it really worth it for the Grand Duke to do this?"
Today's mainstream is extraordinary soldiers. People like Lu Xingshi who pursue individual strength are more like a weirdo.
In particular, Lu Xingshi is suspected of possessing fighting spirit and is a real great knight.
"Of course it's worth it. What do you think the Langton Principality relies on?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"People, taxation, management..." Brie said immediately.
"No, it relies on my strong strength." Lu Xingshi rejected the other party's words.
He relies on his individual power to drive forces, and then the forces grow and feed back to him.
"This...your idea is really unique." Brie couldn't say anything and could only describe it as unique.
After understanding Lu Xingshi's true thoughts, Brie realized why Lu Xingshi had to lead troops to the Dragon Mountains because he was pursuing more powerful power.
A normal knight couldn't make any progress after condensing the life seeds. Lu Xingshi bit the bullet and became a great knight. If he wanted to become stronger, he definitely couldn't do it on his own, so he could only rely on the gods.
In the permafrost mountains of the Langton Principality, the winter wolf is the god of winter, ice and snow, and does not fit in with the Langton family's "Earth Elemental Breathing Method".
The Immortal Dragon of the Dragon Mountains is the god of earth and life. The breathing method and the name of the god are very consistent.
So it is normal for Lu Xingshi to have this idea.
