Chapter 928: The Mural of the First Witch Hunter in the Holy National Treasure House
Lu Xingshi handled the matter quickly, and as for the compensation that Edward needed, he had the elite team of the Orei Empire take it back.

At that time, let the Aore Empire and Edward connect with each other themselves. If he wants resources, he will definitely go to the Aore Empire.

As for if Edward didn't go, Lu Xingshi wouldn't be able to do anything about it. It's not like he didn't prepare anything. If he didn't take it, it would have nothing to do with Lu Xingshi.

You can't ask Lu Xingshi to deliver it to him personally. Even if you add the Immortal Dragon's face, it's not that great.

Then, Edward dug out the treasures he needed from under the Holy Kingdom's palace.

Just as Lu Xingshi had originally thought, the conditions for using this treasure were indeed very harsh, so harsh that probably only Edward could use it.

I can only say that it is worthy of being used exclusively by the protagonist. Even if other people get it, they cannot use it.

For example, the Law-Breaking Blade that fell into his hands. This thing can only exert its strongest power when combined with this treasure and the inheritance of the Holy Kingdom.

With only the Law-Breaking Blade, it is probably not possible to unleash its full power.

However, Lu Xingshi did not think about seizing it. As for the elemental body tempering inherited from the Holy Kingdom, he understood the general principle by observing Edward.

Even without the complete content, it would only take some time for him to deduce the elemental body-tempering capabilities from the Code of the Earth and further strengthen his own physique.

The main reason is that the "Code of the Earth" is now very complete. If you want to improve it further, you will inevitably have to tinker with the overall framework, not to mention adding new content. If you really want to deduce a new meditation method with elemental body tempering, ten minutes at most will be enough.

After obtaining the treasure, Edward naturally left with the Dragon of Life as soon as possible.

The main reason was that they were worried that Lu Xingshi would act without moral integrity. After all, Edward was wanted because Lu Xingshi wanted the inheritance of the Holy Kingdom from him.

Lu Xingshi didn't mention it until he left, which made Edward very confused.

But this is a good thing for him. No one is willing to pass on their inheritance to a stranger.

"I don't know if there are any remaining things..." Lu Xingshi thought, the Holy Kingdom is a complete country after all, it is a little small, but it was once majestic.

"How about we give it a try?" Lu Xingshi said that he was free anyway, what if he dug up something good?

Just don't have too high expectations. Even the protagonist is gone, which means the value here is gone.

So you may be able to dig out some odds and ends, but there are definitely no good things.

Lu Xingshi started the digging work quickly. With his strength, he could dig quickly and efficiently.

"The treasure house is in this area, right?"

After a thorough digging, they found nothing, which did not surprise Lu Xingshi.

It would be a problem if the protagonist could really dig something out afterwards.

"By the way, why is there a mural or relief in the treasure house of the Holy Kingdom?" Lu Xingshi looked at the fragmentary murals and reliefs, somewhat puzzled.

"It can't be the wall of the treasure house, that would have to be so fancy..." Lu Xingshi complained. When it comes to the interior of the treasure house, beauty is secondary, safety is the most important.

Another thing, Lu Xingshi had seen that the material of the mural reliefs was different from that of the treasure house.

So it can't be the wall of the treasure house, but the treasures that are stored in it.

It was hard for Lu Xingshi to imagine what kind of painting could be regarded as a treasure and put into the treasury, especially when there were extraordinary people in this world.

After some effort, Lu Xingshi quickly pieced the mural back together.

The good news is that we didn’t encounter any weird situations where a piece was missing or a piece was unclear.

The Holy Kingdom has undergone several repairs, so there is no problem with this mural relief. Instead, it is preserved very intact.

Only the protagonist can enjoy such a bloody treatment. Lu Xingshi is not the protagonist, so how can he enjoy the treatment of the Riddler?

"It seems to be related to the gods?" Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes.

The content is similar to the lines of stickmen. The general story is that someone fell from the sky, had a conflict with the gods, and was finally defeated and left by the gods.

"Falling from the sky, does it mean other worlds or the outer universe?" Lu Xingshi couldn't quite understand.

The main problem was that the drawing had no beginning or end, and was also very concise, so he even suspected that it was the handwriting of a primitive man.

"If what is in the painting is true, then Ragnarok could be the result of people being beaten back by the gods going back for help and then taking revenge successfully."

"No, then what does he want..."

The other side won, but did not come to receive the fruits of victory, but let the world develop on its own.

"Perhaps there are higher ideals, such as freeing humans from the gods and embarking on the path of self-reliance."

"Well, it's more likely that the other party won a tragic victory and was forced to give up controlling the world."

"After all, the gods are dead, but their followers and believers are still alive, and in the High Demon Age, there are all kinds of powerful extraordinary life forms."

"So it's not too late to wait until the right time to receive it... Wait, is Edward here to deal with the other party?"

Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of the appearance of Edward, the protagonist. His duty might be to resist the existence that created Ragnarok.

However, this is just Lu Xingshi's guess, and there is not much substantive evidence. Especially the people in the murals and Ragnarok, who knows if there is any connection.

Lu Xingshi continued to read forward, and there seemed to be some kind of leap in time in between, describing the fall of the gods.

There are no details about how it fell, just some brief descriptions.

Then, someone gained some power to fight the elements, and the first witch hunter was born.

What followed was the launch of a vigorous witch-hunting movement and the establishment of the Holy Kingdom, and the entire mural ends here.

"So the first witch hunter not only witnessed the battle between the gods and a certain existence, but also witnessed the fall of the gods and the establishment of the Holy Kingdom."

"So this is the history of the rise of the Holy Kingdom... No wonder it's drawn so sloppily."

"The Holy Country itself promoted the first generation of witch hunters and the first generation of holy kings as people sent from heaven, who came to the world with divine power in order to eliminate all evil wizards and restore peace to the world."

"In fact, he is just a farmer's son. After his family was killed by a dark wizard, he accidentally gained the corresponding power. That's how the witch hunters and the Holy Kingdom came into being."

"But the Holy Kingdom has deified everything and cannot accept the identities of the first witch hunter and the first holy king."

"I have to say, this first generation is indeed quite legendary. Who knows... maybe he is also a protagonist?"

Lu Xingshi suspected that the content of the murals was exaggerated or had been modified. For example, the existence that conflicted with the gods was repelled, which was related to the first generation of witch hunters, or it might have been mixed with Ragnarok and so on.

After all, the gods are immortal, so it would be difficult for him to launch a witch hunt.

So if we reverse the order and put the experience of the first generation of witch hunters at the beginning, it would make sense at first glance.

Otherwise, how could he know the dispute between the gods and the blade that fell from the sky, or even the outcome? I'm afraid he died in this battle that was like a natural disaster.

"Actually, there are two narrative lines..." Lu Xingshi began to readjust himself and finally sorted out the narrative.

He didn't know why the person who created the mural did this. He guessed that he was trying to hide something, but he had to say it out loud to warn others.

This is why the narrative is so confusing and one's role is concealed.

"It is very likely that the person who created this mural was the first generation of witch hunters."

"Limited education, but good at fighting." Lu Xingshi muttered, which was indeed in line with his background as a farmer's son.

As for how high my cultural attainments are, they are definitely not there. I don't even have enough time to become stronger, let alone learn painting.

So it's not surprising that this happened.

"This is my harvest." Lu Xingshi carefully checked it again, and then threw all the mural fragments into the earth ring.

The earth ring can naturally be used as a storage item.

After throwing it in, let the earth elves find a place to properly place it.

Maybe I will come in handy someday. This thing looks like it has a great origin.

If all else fails, you can go and exchange it with the Dragon of Life for what you want.

There is indeed no cost to rob, but what if the other party refuses to let go? Lu Xingshi is not very willing to rob if he can trade.

Just like this time, if he could successfully obtain the divinity of the earth, he would only continue to be friends with Edward instead of deliberately cheating him.

After all, he has a mission. If things really go wrong and the world collapses, he has to step forward to save it.

Before the real body arrives, Lu Xingshi will not let anything happen to this world.

All the food has become the fat meat in their own bowls, leaving no room for others to take a bite.

"There shouldn't be anything good in the treasure house now." Lu Xingshi looked around.

Before it was destroyed, it had been plundered by the elites of various countries, and then it was beaten into this state because of the fight for the Blade of Breaking Law.

All the valuable things were taken away. The murals were of little value in the first place, and they were big and useless, so no one would take them.

As for the fact that the treasure Edward needed was not taken away, it was naturally because of the protagonist's halo. What else could it be?

If someone really takes it away, what should we do next?

Just like the Blade of Law Breaking, if it falls into Lu Xingshi's hands and he doesn't return it, he will become a villain next. Maybe the Orei Empire will even collude with Edward and then attack Lu Xingshi together.

However, even though he is targeted, Lu Xingshi will not necessarily lose. His chance of success in killing Edward, the Dragon of Life and the Orei Empire is still very high.

Unless this world is as shameless as the previous one, and directly intervenes to show favoritism.

But Edward probably couldn't reach the same level of preference for Li Fan.

Edward is not like a puppet, he is not that close.

Another thing is that it is not so easy to get stressed out in this world.
