Lord of Rot

Chapter 25

After the housekeeper left, Li Qi once again turned his attention to the "free-range" raven. At this time, the raven was circling over the porcupine collar, flying high into the sky, and he could see the shrunken porcupine through the eyes of the raven. Collar, and the woods and beyond the Spine Valley.

He could see the little ants working, some were still digging and loosening the soil by hand, and some had already used light plows.

Under Li Qi's guidance, the farmers did not pull out the grass roots and throw them aside, but burned them on the spot, and let the plant ash cover the ground with the soil and turn it into nutrients.

Fertilizer can't make the land fertile in an instant, but it's better than the barren land that didn't grow food before.

The big pit where feces have been piled up all year round has already fermented manure over the years, which can be used as the first wave of nutrients after the autumn harvest. Of course, the baron himself does not intend to go to the site to personally guide.

In the distance, a white shadow flew quickly and passed the raven. It was a white crow delivering a message, and its target was the castle.

Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, after a while, someone knocked on the door.

"please come in"

The butler opened the door and came in: "My lord, a letter from Lin Tawan."

"Grandpa's house?" Li Qi was a little surprised, he thought it was Leopold, or his younger brother Leo, who wrote the letter.

Li Qi only has memories of his childhood. His grandfather, uncle, and his uncle’s brothers and sisters visited him. In his memory, his grandfather and his father didn’t get along well. Li Qi didn’t understand the reason when he was a child. He only remembered that he was riding on his uncle’s generous back. Up, raise your hand and try to catch the bird in the sky.

Cousin is gloomy. He likes to pierce the frog's stomach with a knife, pick out the frog's intestines, and stare at the frog that is still alive. Li Qi has been afraid of him since he was a child.

And the cousin is lively and cheerful, a slap can make Li Qi cry for a long time.

Grandpa looked down on his father's recklessness, but he admitted his bravery straightforwardly. He was a weirdo with both prejudice and rationality.

Father Lild's character is straightforward and lacks in scheming, so when getting along, he will always be overwhelmed by the old man's yin and yang monsters.

After the mother died, the father married the stepmother again, and the two parties completely broke off contact.

Li Qi took the letter, but the sealant remained untouched, which meant that no one had opened the letter yet.

He opened the letter and straightened the curled letter paper with his fingers: "My dear nephew, I am your uncle Lewis Wisdom. Do you remember when you were riding on my shoulders when you were a child? Can you ride on my shoulders?" You are the first one! I am very sorry to hear the news of your father’s death. Although your grandfather doesn’t like your father’s character, impulsive and reckless, do you still remember our Wisdom’s family crest? Hey, inside In fact, your grandfather has always admired his bravery, otherwise he would not have married his sister to him. He drank a lot of alcohol when he heard the news of your father's death. He has been in poor health for a long time. Having been dry for a while, it's time for us to understand the odd friendship between the two of them.

I'm sorry to write this letter to you now. There have been some minor troubles in Lintawan recently. Your cousin Bode has solved these troubles, but his personality is too gloomy and he does things a little too badly. Well, it's not about these things. Now, you are now the Baron of Porcupine Castle. I want to congratulate you, but the place of Porcupine Collar is not easy to live in. Please tell me if you have any difficulties. By the way, you wrote to ask about the red dot in your eyes. , I asked a scholar in Lintawan, and he said that it is a kind of magic mosquito disease, which seems to be a lesion in a certain part of the eyeball. If you want to cure that disease, it is best to come to Lintawan, oh, remember Is your cousin Stacey?She is slim now, and you are of marriageable age, I wish we could get closer. "

On a small piece of letter paper, there are densely packed small characters.

Li Qi let out a long breath.

He originally thought that he had no contact with his grandfather's family anymore, but he didn't expect that after he became a baron, his grandfather would write to him immediately.

Family?There should be some, but there must be benefits, because he is the Baron of the Porcupine Collar.

In the land of Lurea, titles and titles represent the amount of property, even when nobles meet and exchange titles, you can be the duke of one place and the baron of another place at the same time, just like gold The king of the Xiong family seems to have more than 20 titles.

Li Qi, who is related by blood, became the new baron, and it was obviously an opportunity to increase the assets and titles of Lintawan's family, especially after he married his cousin Stacy, and the two gave birth to a child who was closer to each other.

Of course, there must be family ties, but nobles never just talk about family ties.

"Lintawan, wetlands, rich, very rich!" Li Qi was thinking about the feasibility of marrying his cousin. From the perspective of profit alone, it would be a profitable business, but genetically speaking, part of his blood came from Victoria. Storm, he himself is so handsome, it can be said that the grandfather's family is all handsome men and beautiful women.

The development of the territory needs money and help.

Marry a cousin, make sure you don't lose money!
There is another thing that makes Li Qi even more concerned. The red dot actually existed before he crossed over, which means that this golden finger does not belong to the time traveler, but the former Li Qi, a local golden finger!
Then, as a time traveler, what special, super magical talent do I have?So far it appears to be so.

After thinking again and again, Li Qi picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter.

"My dear uncle, I am Lizzie Clarence. I am very glad to receive your letter. It made me feel the warmth of being cared for by my relatives in the lonely castle for a long time." He paused and continued to write: "Please trouble me, my disease has been cured under the blessing of the four gods. I have always had a good impression of Cousin Stacy, but the porcupine collar still has a lot of things that I need to deal with. Maybe I have to wait until next year before I have the opportunity to go to Greenwood Castle. As a guest, please tell grandpa that until his death, father still remembers grandpa's, uh, face that he didn't like very much, and we should respect their friendship."

No matter what, it's better to take advantage of the matter of marrying a cousin first. In case the porcupine collar really can't get along, at least you can have a soft meal.

After writing the letter and sealing it with sealing paint, Li Qi took the letter and walked to White Crow.

He cast "Eagle Eye" on the white crow, and after the white crow took off, he would know the limit of the magic influence of the eagle eye.

After feeding and resting, the white crow flew to Linta Bay with a letter, and it would take several days to fly from the eastern seashore to the wetland at the speed of a bird.

Following the White Crow, Li Qi left Porcupine Castle and headed for the dense forest, but the White Crow seemed to sense some danger when passing through the sky above the Pig Ridge Valley, and turned hurriedly. Li Qi could not control the White Crow, nor could he be sure what was behind him. Hunt down, maybe an eagle?

The white crow flapped its wings desperately, and finally escaped successfully.

His eyes flew over the Iron Stone City again, and he saw the crowded and huge Iron Stone City. It was really a big city.

Flying over Iron Stone City, White Crow continued on.

During this period, Li Qi's vision has not been affected, and this distance has left the baron's territory far away.

When the white crow was tired and was about to land for a rest, Li Qi suddenly noticed a golden carriage pulled by a golden mule passing by.

"Leopold's house?" He watched curiously, but a knight on a horse suddenly raised his head, and his face and sight were blocked by an iron helmet, but Li Qi's spirit was shocked, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

The connection with the white crow has been disconnected!
"Who is that?" Li Qi was shocked: "Could it be magic?"

And on the path far away, the golden carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked the person in the carriage.

"There is a white crow watching us, my lord," replied the knight.

"It's just a beast, don't be too nervous." The person in the carriage said impatiently: "Hurry up, I've had enough of sleeping in the open."

"Yes!"

The golden carriage continued on its way.
