Lord of Rot

Chapter 460 The Mysterious Iron Box
The team is advancing. They have already left the station last night, staggered the Koso Mountains and walked a straight avenue, and set off in the direction of the Burning City.

Riding on horseback, Li Qi suddenly had the feeling of going to the west to learn scriptures.

In particular, when his soldiers left on horseback, it gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Master, master, there is a family in front of me, I'm going to get some vegetarian food, Bajie Laosha, you wait for me to come back with master~"

It is this feeling.

You carry the burden~I lead the horse~
"It's been so many years, without Wulin Biography and Journey to the West, I've survived." He hummed, and returned to himself after the scouting soldiers in front of him finished their work.

"Is the investigation of the fire clear?"

"Yes, my lord. It seems that some nobles were attacked by the tribesmen, and then a fire broke out. It is said that many noble wives who were going to the burning city to attend the ball were missing."

It's the ball again, the nobles have nothing to do, right?

Is it that fun to have a prom, or go to a prom, or just be on your way to a prom?
The entertainment in this world is too barren!

He even began to think about whether to buy two troupes and rehearse some interesting stage plays.

The most important thing is to develop a game that can entertain people. Magic is so amazing, it would be a pity not to engage in card battles.

Think of a group of people playing hearthstone in a tavern, and that scene is very interesting.

This will be one of his next research directions.

The soldier continued: "The fire last night did not spread. It is said that there is a huge lake near the forest where the fire broke out."

Li Qi didn't pay much attention to the news that the soldiers came back from the investigation: "I've always heard that there are tribesmen at the giant's feet, but I've never seen them before. I didn't expect that there would be a big commotion."

Along the way, what he sees and what he hears are completely different worlds. Li Qi is not sure whether it is Giant Foot's creative writing, or whether the tribal people are suppressed by the noble faction and all become mice. , in short...the road is so clean, no rubbish in the trash can, no one on the bed, no clothes on the hanger, no leaves on the ground in the fall of November.

I have never encountered a bandit, and I can't see a bandit in the mountains.

Being civilized is like sitting at the same table with old ladies accidentally, it is really clean.

"New news has come from the Porcupine Collar, great breakthroughs have been made in the study of runes, even magic scrolls have made breakthroughs, and alchemy has also made great progress." Li Qi is in a good mood. Let's take a look at the research results of scholars.

In this world, magic is the primary productive force.

……

"Ladies, ladies! Ladies! Ladies! Ladies!"

Amidst the howling, the man had to increase his voice again and again, so that he changed from calling softly at the beginning to roaring: "Don't cry!"

The crying died away, turning into a sob.

In a hidden mountain forest tribe, the man with the ointment on his body stared wide-eyed at the embarrassed noble ladies locked in the cage. They were not persecuted in any way, and no one snatched their decorations or tore their clothes Clothes, but they just kept crying, and the crying person's head was swollen.

"I'm a gentleman! If you want me to keep it up, then shut up!" His head was slightly deformed, facing the eagle's head, which frightened the sobbing noble ladies, who opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to do Is good.

"I gave you the opportunity to write, but so far, I have not received a reply or a ransom. My patience is limited."

A noble lady sobbed softly and said, "You want too much. My family can't afford 300 gold days."

She didn't dare to say anything else, the ransom for noble knights captured in the war was at most 100 gold days.

The man took two quick steps forward, his body quickly bloated, and he turned into an eagle-headed white bear with strange feathers, and his sharp beak opened like a short sword: "That's your problem! I'm only responsible for collecting money!"

The roaring and air-blowing lady's hair flew up, her cheeks were distorted by the blowing, she opened her mouth wide and fell back suddenly, and she was so frightened that she passed out.

But the crying could not be suppressed again.

"It seems that I'm too merciful." His body shrank rapidly, from a eagle-headed monster to a bare-armed human.

He waved his hand to the person guarding the cage and said, "Catch one and chop it up."

Only blood can make this group of people quieter. He was fed up with irritable wives, and he couldn't figure out why he coveted them so much before, wishing he could stay in bed with them every day.

"Hey, yes!" The tribal people next to them grinned, opened the cage door and got in, just like a weasel got into a chicken coop, causing a commotion.

Soon a hapless lady was caught out.

"You can't touch me!" she screamed, but no one paid her any attention.

She looked at the leader of the tribal people, lowered her voice and whispered: "Everything is empty, nature allows everything!"

Snapped!
What was waiting for her was not ecstasy and politeness, let alone kneeling down and begging for mercy immediately, but a slap in the face.

The extraordinary slap was not an easy one. Blood burst out of her mouth immediately, her nose deformed, and even a few teeth flew out.

"With enough money, we can join the Natural Cult." The leader said proudly, "The entire eagle-headed bear tribe will be blessed by the Natural Cult."

"Fool! Fool! I am the secret agent of the natural religion, and I am responsible for the great order of St. Ron!" She shouted loudly, hoping that a group of brainless tribal savages in front of her would understand her importance, but her mouth was blocked. It was swollen, and several teeth flew out, and the voice became humming, and I couldn't understand what I was saying.

A big hand grabbed her hair from behind and pulled her head back. She had to stand on tiptoes, and her throat was exposed like a bow.

The leader said cruelly: "Are you from Dongxia? I don't believe that group of girls from Dongxia would be willing to pay you back. They would rather buy goats."

He made no secret of his hostility towards Dongxia. Being able to kill a person in a hostile area made him feel more at ease than earning 300 gold days.

A short blade was attached to the woman's throat and quickly slashed across.

Thin red lines were carved on the white and slender neck, and then the blood gushed out frantically, soaking the clothes.

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, but with the rapid loss of vitality, her eyes lost their brilliance.

"Ho ho ho..."

The body fell to the ground.

The tribal leader said, "Throw it out."

"Yes!" The tribesman in charge of the murder happily agreed that he could take advantage of the heat... er, to seize the other party's belongings. Although they are all made of silver and small gemstones, the value will definitely not be higher than that of the other party. On the 1st golden day, the leader doesn't like this small amount of money, and he won't dislike it.

Carrying the corpse out, he searched the whole body of the corpse with both hands, and found a strange iron box, which was not big, but looked very exquisite.

"what is this?"

The Burakumin tried to open the iron box, but failed.

He opened his mouth again, intending to bite it open with his teeth, but its strength was far beyond imagination.

So he put down the idea of ​​forcibly opening the box, why not find an opportunity to sell it, anyway, the things found on the poor woman's body are unlikely to be very valuable, probably small things like jewelry boxes.

Put it away first.

　The earthquake last night made me too scared to sleep.
