Lord of Rot

Chapter 424 The Puppet Fighting Game
The paused conversation between the two at the door just now naturally caught Li Qi's attention.

"Lord Li Qi," she said, "Scholar Tonks has time now."

"Great!"

The two left the city lord's hall and stopped in front of a tall building on the inner edge of Mama City.

There are not many residents in the city, and it is also related to the overall structure of the city. There is no planting, no food, and of course there are not many serfs who can "pay taxes". A large area of ​​Mama City is used to breed war horses.

The overall shape of the small building is like an upside-down boot, with a paper tube underneath, and when it reaches the top, there is an extra room to the right. This kind of unreasonable architecture has only been seen in MC.

Knock lightly on the door.

It was a little girl who opened the door, about the same age as Akeke.

"Hello?" She looked at Li Qi curiously.

"We're looking for Tonks Scholar," said Lisu Mama.

"The teacher is upstairs." The girl stepped back and opened the door: "Please come in."

Li Qi nodded: "Thank you."

The two entered, and the room on the first floor was tidy. Apart from the girl who opened the door, there were two other girls sitting at the table facing each other.

Li Qi walked over and found a small puppet in front of each of the two girls, about the size of a thumb, moving very stiffly.

"click" "click" "click"

The villains bumped into each other stiffly, fighting "fiercely".

Li Qi was fascinated by it. This is definitely a usage of magic. He believes that the other party is really a scholar who specializes in magic!
The battle didn't come to an end until one of the puppets had his head knocked off and fell sideways on the table.

The body of the puppet was not connected at all, and it fell into pieces after falling down.

The sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and Li Qi temporarily averted his gaze.

What came down was a woman in her 30s. She was not very beautiful, she was very thin, and she did not have the "nervousness" of scholars. She was wearing a dark long dress, from the left shoulder to the side waist, decorated Little flowers with lace.

There are several rings in both hands, with various colors, and Li Qi can guess at a glance that those rings are all strange things.

He suddenly woke up, why didn't he think of turning supernatural substances into rings, necklaces and other convenient wearable wonders? Even if he didn't use them for himself, his subordinates could easily use them to improve their combat effectiveness.

But if you think about it carefully, it is easy to carry, but it may not be easy to use. How to do it will have to wait for Chu Na to come back after studying, and then study it slowly.

After the woman went down the stairs, she took the initiative to say hello to the two: "Good night, Mrs. Li Qi, Miss Lisu."

The little girls who were playing around heard her voice, stopped the game in their hands, followed her, and looked at Li Qi and the two curiously.

"Good night, Tonks Scholar" Lisu greeted with some discomfort.

If she is used to a life of killing, then the magic that suddenly appeared in the past two years completely disrupted her rhythm of life, as if a person from one world strayed into another world, and the power of the blade she was proud of changed. Small, trepidation increased.

The person under the overly tough appearance is actually very soft and weak in the heart, and dare not accept new things, because she is used to dominating in the field she is good at.

Standing in front of each other made Lisu Mama feel uneasy.

"Ye An." Li Qi nodded and said hello: "It seems that you already know me."

The other party is very polite, which is normal. As long as the other party is not deaf and blind, he will know what happened in Mama City. No scholar has ever provoked a lord on his own initiative. They are all within the allowed range, a little " "Arrogance" for a moment, it is precisely because of wisdom that we will avoid acting stupidly.

Tonks nodded, her cheekbones were high, and when she smiled, the skin was pulled from them: "You're curious about magic?"

"Yes." Li Qi pointed to the puppet on the table and asked, "Is this some kind of alchemy tool? There are scholars in my territory, but he failed to research this kind of thing."

"It's just a toy, using activation magic," Tonks took the initiative to introduce: "To temporarily bring things to life, so that the wooden dog can watch the house, the iron chicken can crow, and the paper bird can fly."

"Very interesting," Li Qi commented very seriously.

Then he stated the real purpose of his trip, his curiosity about magic, and his exploration of magic.

This is a very general topic, but as a scholar of magic research, Tonks has a strong interest in this area and can chat for a long time.

"Arcane, or magic, or miracles, witchcraft, have been silent until the tide of magic emerges. At that time, I could only use magic to light the fireplace, and then use magic to peel potatoes..." She suddenly Ton: "Potatoes are a kind of..."

"I know potatoes." Li Qi interrupted Tonks' sudden explanation: "It can be said that after the tide of magic emerges."

He was about to be called the Baron of Potatoes. How could he not know what potatoes were? In his territory, potatoes played an important role in filling his stomach all year round.

Tonks was a little surprised. In her opinion, Li Qi should be an aristocrat with good living conditions and shouldn't be exposed to the food of the untouchables.

Because potatoes have a single taste, and if you eat too much, you will get heartburn and acid reflux in your stomach. If you are not very poor, you will never treat it as food, even if it is very easy to grow.

Every time magic is mentioned, someone will always talk about the blood moon that Li Qi has never seen, and the tide of magic.

"Since that day, I can feel the changes in the world," she said: "The magic that could not be released before can be released easily, and my understanding of magic is also strengthening. This is the best era, magic recovery!"

But it may also be the worst era, Li Qi thought to himself.

Because the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, in the past, they might rise up by shouting "The princes and generals, I would rather have a kind", but since then, the high-end power will be concentrated in the hands of the nobles, and the weak have no qualifications to resist.

Fortunately, he is a member of the nobility.

During the chat, Li Qi discovered that he did not have enough knowledge of magic. He did not know many basic knowledge. He often used magic according to the scriptures. Of course, he did not learn any magic. He only had a rough understanding of magic , is enough for him to be happy.

He didn't hide his thoughts, and took the initiative to invite Tonks to his territory.

"Maybe you can stay in the desert, but when you want to change places, East Gorge can also provide you with a foothold, and there are many scholars in Porcupine Collar."

Tonks shook his head and rejected Li Qi's proposal: "I will stay in the desert for a while, if you need any help from me, please ask, but it's fine to meet other scholars, we have different ideas."

To put it simply, it is easy to quarrel with other scholars.

"That's a pity." Li Qi shook his head.

At least the other party did not refuse to help him, or even work for him.

Different from Li Qi's lively chat, Lisu Mama listened in a daze and tried not to yawn several times. When she heard that Li Qi decided to leave, she quickly stood up and made up her mind. I don't want to come here with Li Qi again.

Leaving Tonks scholar's residence, Li Qi said, "I'm going to take a walk on the city wall, you can go back and rest."

"Yes" Lisu didn't refuse, she was really tired.

The defensive battles in the past few days have made it difficult for her to get a good rest, and she may be able to sleep well tonight.

Come to the city wall and look down.

The mercenaries camped next to the city gate to rest, because Viscount Matthew was ready for a protracted war, so food and accommodation for more than 3000 people was not a problem for the time being.

It was late at night, but the mercenaries did not fall asleep, chatting noisily, and shouting could be heard from time to time.

After Li Qi took a few more glances, he turned and went back to the room. The room had been cleaned up, but to his surprise, all the little maids arranged by the Mama family were gone, and they became male servants.

Instructing them not to wait for him to undress, Li Qi closed the door, undressed and lay on the bed.

Time passed, and suddenly a dozen vultures flew out of the dungeon, flapping their wings and flying into the distance.

Rocket, who was resting in the nest, raised his head, then lowered his head and closed his eyes.
