Chapter 899: Glory of the Earth (Transformation)

The imperial delegation left Lu Xingshi's Principality of Lanton with their remnants, and Princess Flanders and Lina were naturally taken away as well.

Everyone knew that there was something wrong with these two guys, and Lu Xingshi didn't kill them because he still had to gain benefits and help from the Aore Empire in the future, so he didn't fall out with them.

Otherwise, with Lu Xingshi's character, it is guaranteed that these two people would be buried in the same pit on the spot.

Lu Xingshi didn't know what the aristocratic faction and the royal family of the empire were going to do, but one thing was certain, that was the steam faction would not let them succeed.

After seeing off the delegation, Lu Xingshi went to check the five treasures sent by the empire.

"Tsk, you're very carefully selected." Lu Xingshi looked at the five treasures and picked up the giant shield.

The giant shield is called the Guardian of the Earth Sage.

This giant shield is indeed a treasure of the same level as the Shield of the Earth King and the Ruler of the Mountain Lord.

As for the effect, it is more inclined towards witchcraft-type shields and armor, similar to passive witchcraft protection.

Lu Xingshi directly hung the Shield of the Earth King on his back.

It is easy to take off, but from the appearance, it looks a bit like a bloated turtle.

But Lu Xingshi didn't care. To him, appearance was not important, strength was the most important.

With the protection of the Earth Sage, Lu Xingshi's glory was finally complete, but the entries did not change.

He knew why. Of course, it was because the Kiss of the Gobi Elf, a T0.5 level growth equipment, was holding him back.

Fortunately, it doesn’t matter. Lu Xingshi still has four top-level earth-related jewelry treasures in his hand, which can be used to replace the Kiss of the Gobi Elf as an upgrade.

It was really difficult for him to decide which one to choose.

"The strength of a mountain giant, the iron heart of a bronze dragon, the death of an immortal, and the pearl of a mountain elf..."

After looking around for a while, Lu Xingshi finally chose the Immortal's Death Doomsday, which was an inner armor that Lu Xingshi could wear inside the Mountain Lord's rule.

Mainly because there is nothing good to choose from.

The first two treasures are more about strength and specific physiques, while the last one is somewhat similar to the Guardian of the Earth Sage and is more about witchcraft.

On the contrary, the immortals' death doomsday is more useful to Lu Xingshi.

With the T0 Immortal's Death Doom replacing the T0.5 Gobi Elf's Kiss, Lu Xingshi's glory finally changed.

[Glory·Earth (Transforming): When you hold the Shield of the Earth King and the Protection of the Earth Sage, wear the Rule of the Mountain Lord and the Death of the Immortal, and carry the Amber of the Rock Dragon Beast, you will gain the effects of Hegemony, Earth Fate, Spirit King, Undead, and Rock Dragon.]

The entry for Glory not only changed from Son of the Earth to Earth, but also showed that it was undergoing transformation.

As for the two extra effects, Earth Fate greatly increases the power and effects of fighting skills and witchcraft with earth element attributes, by about 1000%. In addition, it also increases the affinity with the earth element by the same amount.

The effect of immortality is also very simple. As long as one of the five pieces of growth equipment on him is not completely destroyed, Lu Xingshi will not die. At the same time, these five pieces of growth equipment will slowly recover.

As long as there is one piece of equipment left, Lu Xingshi will have the opportunity to start over.

In addition, Lu Xingshi also discovered that his Glory was constantly absorbing these five pieces of growth equipment during the transformation process.

Once the transformation is completed, based on the data he deduced, one thing is certain, that is, he can then fill more growth equipment into Glory to obtain more special effects.

This means that the limit of five pieces of growth equipment will be lifted.

Lu Xingshi was still very happy about this.

In addition, the more growth equipment you have, the faster the growth equipment will recover.

You can even keep attracting new people. The growth equipment added later will grow faster, and will not return to normal growth speed until it grows to the same attributes as the growth equipment added earlier.

"So what exactly is this glory?" Lu Xingshi was puzzled.

This thing is a bit like a god. Judging from the data, it can be regarded as a simplified version of a god.

But if you really want to compare it, it can only be said to be related to the gods, but it is definitely not the gods.

"It is really amazing that it can grow and evolve, and even ignore the current environment of this world."

"The source should be the Landon family." Lu Xingshi can be sure that the origin of Glory is the Landon family.

To put it more simply, most of the aristocratic families seem to have such a thing.

However, even if it exists, it is not certain whether it can be activated.

"I just don't know when the transformation will be complete."

Without the blessing of glory, among the growth equipment in his hands, only the Kiss of the Gobi Elf can be used.

As for the other three items - the Power of the Mountain Giant, the Iron Heart of the Heavy Bronze Dragon, and the Pearl of the Mountain Elf - they can be used, but they have basically no attributes and cannot provide any effects.

I can't say it's useful when worn on the body, I can only say it's limited.

On the contrary, Gobi Elf's Kiss had been grown a lot by Glory before, so it just lost the blessing effect of Glory, but its own attributes are still very good. And it also has a certain effect when placed on the arm armor.

However, Lu Xingshi also installed the three pieces of growth equipment. He cannot grow now, but he can grow after the glory transformation.

It’s a good time to adapt in advance, it won’t be a problem anyway.

Like the power of the mountain giant and the heart of the heavy bronze giant, one is a bracelet and the other is a ring, which is not very troublesome to wear.

Only the pearl of the distant mountain elf is overlapping, forming a necklace. Lu Xingshi already has the amber necklace of the rock dragon beast, and if he puts it on, he will have two necklaces.

But having two is not a big deal.

It's not that you can't put it on. In fact, you can put a lot of treasures on yourself to enhance yourself.

Doing this can easily affect the battle. After all, if you have a bunch of clanking things on your body, it will definitely get in the way when fighting.

So it’s fine to be appropriate, and this is not the way to stack attributes and effects.

It is best if there is no impact at all.

"It seems that there are still many top-level earth-related treasures in the treasure house of the Aore Empire."

Now, for Lu Xingshi, large top-level earth-type treasures are of no use because he can't get them.

Shield of the Earth King, Protection of the Geocentric Sage, Rule of the Mountain Lord and Death of the Immortal, these two giant shields plus a heavy full body armor and an inner armor have basically eliminated the possibility of him taking other big items.

On the contrary, small items can be put together, for example, you can wear three or five more necklaces, and you can put a lot of rings on the fingers and toes of your hands and feet, and you can wear bracelets, wristbands and even arm armor on both arms.

As for the ears, he can pierce holes, just make big holes and hang earrings all over them.

If all else fails, you can just put a ring on your nose and hang a bracelet on it. Anyway, the mask is blocking the view, so no one can see what Lu Xingshi's face looks like under the mask.

For Lu Xingshi, if appearance can be converted into strength, he will do it without hesitation instead of choosing appearance.

As for maintaining appearance and gaining strength at the same time, there are not so many good things, especially since Lu Xingshi is still stuck in a bug. It would be a bit wishful thinking to say that there is no price to pay.

He doesn't have a way to be handsome and have power at the same time. He has long known that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

With Lu Xingshi's ability, it's not that he doesn't have such ability, but that there is no need.

It's like he has entered some weird world of cultivating immortals, and he can wear fluttering white clothes but still practice cultivation, but doing so will only hinder his progress in becoming stronger and his overall strength.

Some protagonist-level characters can indeed rely on systems, golden fingers and the like to live up to the expectations of both the Tathagata and their loved ones.

But Lu Xingshi would rather not have this style. After all, this kind of thing is obviously problematic at first glance.

If you take advantage of these conveniences, you will be caught and forced to fill the hole.

Why would anyone give you something that has no benefit to you?

Just like when he was in the Dali Dynasty in the previous world, he started with the world core of the highest quality, but what happened in the end? Wasn't he just a cannon fodder tool of the world, thrown away after being used?

It is true that the real protagonist will be treated better, but in essence it is still the same. The benefits are provided to enable you to achieve a certain goal, and the price you pay is yourself.

"Okay, let's go read. With the collection of books from the Aore Empire, the Code of the Earth should be able to be improved further."

Lu Xingshi muttered something and walked towards the study.

The books are naturally placed in the study, so there is no need to worry about them being stolen.

The castle is heavily guarded, and secondly, there is not much value in stealing anything. The literacy rate in this world is hard to describe.

Now that we can get in here, it would be easier to steal gold, silver and jewelry than books, and we can gain more.

Furthermore, with Lu Xingshi's current perception, even if a notorious bandit came, he would have to kowtow to Lu Xingshi twice before he could be hanged.

It is impossible to let him go. He dared to sneak into the castle of Grand Duke Lanton. He is incredibly brave. What else could he not dare to do? Of course, he should be more careful in his next life.

Forget it in this life, Lu Xingshi is not a good person.

Since you are the Grand Duke of the Empire and are exploiting the common people, don't boast about how good you are.

It is impossible not to exploit the people. The most Lu Xingshi can do is to increase productivity and allow the common people to live better than before.

Productivity is the foundation. Without productivity, many things, even if they are beneficial to the future, will only backfire if they are forced through.

After entering the study, Lu Xingshi directly looked for the corresponding breathing and meditation methods for the two growth equipment on his body, the Guardian of the Earth Sage and the Death Doom of the Immortal.

The Aore Empire did not care about these manuscripts, so the content was still very complete, without any deletions or omissions, and all that should be given was given.

After all, it is a big country and it wants to win over Lu Xingshi. It will not deliberately make things difficult for Lu Xingshi over such a small matter.

Doing so will not only not have much impact on Lu Xingshi, but will also not benefit them at all. It will only increase Lu Xingshi's resentment, which is a thankless behavior.
