I am the one running the game

Chapter 907: A cat-for-a-prince replacement? The replacement must be a newborn prince, right?

"Sure enough, the third time the bet has been raised." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the letter that was once again sent from the imperial capital.

The letter indicated that Cato had already headed for the Dragon Mountains in the south, and it was obvious that this main battlefield was already in danger.

During this period, they even gave up part of their interests and promised corresponding support policies.

"It's not that I want to keep you hanging, it's just that... I don't have any time to spare." Lu Xingshi was helpless about this. The hidden dangers in the magic mirror of the seven deadly sins in his hand had been eliminated and it was being transformed.

All the resources to build the magic mirror puppet have been gathered, but Lu Xingshi’s magic mirror factory has not yet been built.

It is normal to have a slow progress. There is indeed a backup plan left by the original owner in the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror, and it is also connected to the main part. Then Lu Xingshi has to modify the degree of fit.

It will definitely take a lot of time to complete a set.

And then it got delayed until now.

Compared with the previous Moonlight Werewolves, a group of extraordinary soldiers, they were able to use some of the power of the Moon and Beast God after his fall, so it was not so troublesome. It was equivalent to just digging up the corpse directly.

However, the magic mirror puppet is an extraordinary soldier with a genuine magical weapon as its core. It has no way to rely on the power of gods, so many things will definitely be much more troublesome.

"It will take at least another ten days."

"Find a way to delay it." The delay that Lu Xingshi mentioned naturally did not mean delaying the empire, but letting the main battlefield of the Dragon Mountain Range continue to drag on.

It goes without saying that Gato had been arranged to go there in advance, which means that the situation in the Dragon Mountain Range is really not optimistic, otherwise Lu Xingshi would not have been urged three times in a row.

"Let me pass, most likely you are planning to defeat the enemy with fewer people?"

Otherwise, why would the empire choose Lu Xingshi? The main reason is that Lu Xingshi’s previous battle record was indeed strong.

Even if this achievement only happens once.

"Master, a strange aura has lurked in your castle." The magic mirror suddenly spoke.

Although it was being modified by Lu Xingshi, its functions were not shut down but were still enabled.

"Strange smell? How strange can it be?" Lu Xingshi asked.

The magic mirror is capable of detection, including the ability to monitor a specific point. Combined with the desires it has absorbed over the past few days, its monitoring area has been able to cover most of the castle.

As for why Lu Xingshi didn't notice it, most of his energy was focused on modifying the magic mirror, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to the outside world.

Besides, with his current strength, basically no one can hurt him.

You know, he didn't even take off his equipment.

"It's so strange that it's like another you, master." The magic mirror replied immediately.

The recovery of the magic mirror is still not enough, otherwise it would be able to play images and sounds directly on the mirror, which is equivalent to remote monitoring.

"Ah?" Lu Xingshi was a little confused for a moment. Like him? How could someone pretend to be him?

But his eyes narrowed: "Where is the exact location?"

The magic mirror did not answer, but instead displayed a floor plan of the castle on its surface, with several red dots moving.

Lu Xingshi took a look and found that these red dots seemed to be moving towards him.

"It's coming towards me, and it has a similar aura."

"Are you planning to replace the crown prince with a cat?" Lu Xingshi complained.

Don't tell me, it's really possible.

Otherwise, why would he sneak into the castle so stealthily?

"Master, do you need me to use Mirror Kill to execute them?"

"The invaders are not strong." The magic mirror naturally has a way to kill them.

After obtaining the magic mirror, Lu Xingshi placed a large number of mirrors in the castle to bring out the various powers of the magic mirror.

Mirror killing is a kind of fixed trap that can be triggered manually.

In addition to being used as an attack, it is also possible to use these mirrors as nodes to jump.

After the magic mirror's mirror movement has recovered a certain amount of power, the moving distance, speed, etc. have been improved, but it is still not very optimistic. However, by arranging a large number of mirrors compactly, multiple jumps can be made to increase the distance.

The disadvantage is also obvious, which is that it requires enough mirrors.

The main bodies of Lu Xingshi's magic mirror factory and magic mirror puppets are also mirrors, but they are mirrors that have become extraordinary, so they are not as fragile as ordinary mirrors.

"No need, I have already guessed who the person coming is." Lu Xingshi quickly identified the suspect.

He has a normal mind. Those who can do this are definitely from the royal family and the aristocracy. The person with a similar aura to him is the lickspittle Flanders with a twisted mind.

If Flanders obeys Princess Lina's orders and lets her replace him, then the entire Principality of Lanton will inevitably fall into the hands of the royal family and the aristocracy.

This can explain the other party's previous plan.

As for the fact that these two people are already dead? It is not difficult to find a scapegoat to complete the fake death.

Lu Xingshi and his companions were not in the imperial capital, and had not witnessed the deaths of these two people with his own eyes, so how could he have possibly predicted it?

If he knew everything, there would be no need for him to bother here.

"Master, they are already outside the door." The magic mirror continued. It is essentially an artificial intelligence. Although it looks vivid, it is not a real life form.

Therefore, in many cases, it appears rather rigid, such as warning of danger.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no reminder when there is no threat, but the magic mirror could not estimate Lu Xingshi's strength and could only remind according to the standard template.

As soon as the magic mirror finished speaking, the door opened.

Then I saw another myself standing in the center, with the disguised Princess Lina following beside me, and several ugly and gloomy wizards holding magical weapons.

Lu Xingshi watched this scene with great interest. The thing that opened the door of his laboratory silently just now should be the power of some magical weapon.

Otherwise, the door and lock made by Lu Xingshi himself could not be opened without supernatural interference.

"Flander, you are really going backwards. I thought you were planning to kick me out of the position of Grand Duke and become the real Grand Duke of Lanton."

"I didn't expect you to actually plan to replace me, take my identity and survive for me."

“I am so disappointed.”

"Even if you succeed, won't everything still be mine?" Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Flanders' face suddenly became ugly and looked extremely ferocious.

Seeing his 'other self' becoming so angry and hideous from this perspective, Lu Xingshi found it very novel.

He had indeed never seen himself angry.

I used to be angry, but now I’m basically not angry anymore.

Unless Lu Xingshi needs anger-like emotions as material for certain experiments, he will control his body hormones to form angry emotions.

The human body is actually very magical. The body's hormones are fully capable of controlling the birth of various emotions, and it does not need to reach certain points.

"Do it!" Princess Lina was not affected by Lu Xingshi's words at all. What Lu Xingshi said was the best situation, but the problem was that they couldn't do it.

There is no need to think too much about the replacement. If Flanders really wants to take the throne, the first person the royal family and the aristocracy will have to face is not Lu Xingshi, but the powerful Steam Faction, and then the fierce Moonlight Werewolf Corps under Lu Xingshi.

No matter which one it was, they were not able to resist it.

The dark wizards activated their magical weapons at the same time, and then... nothing happened.

Princess Lina looked back at the dark wizard with a puzzled look, she didn't understand why.

"The magic weapon is ineffective." said a black wizard in a sharp voice.

"You did it?!!!" Lina looked at Lu Xingshi. One magical weapon failed, maybe it was an accident, but all the magical weapons failed. If someone said it had nothing to do with Lu Xingshi, she herself would not believe it.

"You... are not only a great knight with fighting spirit, but also possess magic power?" another black wizard blurted out. If it weren't for magic power, how could he have interfered with their control over the magic weapons.

"As wizards, you should know one thing: Life seeds and soul seeds are incompatible."

"I'm already a great knight, how could I be a great wizard with magical powers?" Lu Xingshi naturally would not tell them the truth.

If they are one of our own, it’s okay to tell them.

But they are enemies, so why bother telling them these things?

"Then what..." One of the wizards wanted to say something, but Lu Xingshi had already taken action.

He pulled out the Shield of the Earth King and the Guardian of the Earth Sage at the same time. Under the bombardment of the two giant shields, all the wizards were turned into minced meat in his hands.

He didn't even use any fighting skills or witchcraft. He just relied on his own physique and equipment to eliminate all the dark wizards in an instant.

Even some of the black wizards' magical weapons were damaged by Lu Xingshi's heavy blow.

When Flanders and Princess Lina came to their senses, they saw rotten meat all over the floor, and their hearts sank.

They were originally full of confidence, but they found that their preparations were useless in front of Lu Xingshi.

The gap between the two sides is really too big.

The royal family and the aristocracy ultimately underestimated Lu Xingshi.

"Tell me the truth, what are you thinking? Do you think you can defeat me with this bunch of scum?" Lu Xingshi said sarcastically.

Princess Lina was trembling, and Flanders fear was about to overflow.

Lu Xingshi felt even more curious. Not only did he see his angry self, but he also saw his fearful self.

All I can say is that if you live long enough, you will be able to see all kinds of things in the world.

"Kill...kill me!" Princess Lina suppressed her fear and made her request.

However, Lu Xingshi shook his head: "How can I kill you?"

"If you die, who can I use to force Flanders to cooperate with my research?"

With Flanders' current mentality, threats and inducements will have limited effect in controlling him. If it were Princess Lina, even if Lu Xingshi told Flanders to go east, he would definitely not dare to go west.

"You!!!" As soon as Flanders involved Princess Lina, his reason was naturally distorted, even his fear was suppressed, and he was still thinking about taking action against Lu Xingshi.

However, Lu Xingshi hit him on the head with a shield and pinned him down.
