Lord of Rot

Chapter 464 Ice Skate and Snowball Fight
When Li Qi opened his eyes in the morning, he was keenly aware of the change in the temperature outside.

This is a heavy snow held in December.

He got up and put on his clothes, opened the window and looked out.

The entire porcupine collar has been covered with a thick white quilt.

The heavy snow was still falling, and he saw several young children rolling in the snow outside the castle, but soon there was a woman chasing after him with a stick, and no one could escape. Obediently followed home.

"It makes me want to go out and play."

He picked up the bell on the table and shook it gently, and soon the servant Pitchfork trotted over: "My lord"

"Help me find a suit of clothes." Li Qi said, "By the way, let the fireplace burn."

It's not just that there is no heating in the castle. The room is empty, and the heat from the combustion will quickly float to the top of the head, making it very difficult to raise the temperature.

Fortunately, he is the lord, so he doesn't need to consider the waste of resources. Everything is about comfort.

If Duo is not a black dragon, but a fire dragon, maybe now he can have an extra hand warmer.

"Yes"

Under the service of the male servant, Li Qi changed his clothes and put on a thicker fur coat.

After eating a hot breakfast, Li Qi took a book and sat in front of the fireplace, sipped hot milk tea, flipped through the book at random, and spent a leisurely snow day.

It seems that he is reading a book, but he is actually distracted by observing the exploration of the underground world.

Ka Qi was a ghoul that made him feel at ease. The hall-level ghouls have outstanding abilities. The team has grown stronger and stronger, and problems have also emerged.

"However, the more subordinates there are, the pressure on food will inevitably increase. It is very unrealistic to use the portal to send food to the underground world."

With his current income, it is not a problem to support a hundred or so chaotic creatures to eat and drink, but the number is too large, and the portal will take too long to open, so the gain outweighs the gain.

There is also the issue of discipline, chaotic creatures cannot be allowed to live together, otherwise ogres with low intelligence and trolls with lower intelligence will easily treat centaurs and cave gnomes as snacks.

Then he looked at the desert again.

The ghouls acting as permanent guards were patrolling the Thunder Weng City, and one of them suddenly stood still and looked towards the Lord Hall of the Thunder Weng City.

On the seat, Desert Pearl had already changed into luxurious and precious gold clothes, and was staring at a lamp in a daze, not knowing who she was thinking about.

"We can't let go of Gaoxue City next year, and get the desert in our hands as soon as possible. It will be much easier to establish contact with Lintawan at that time."

Li Qi's consciousness was withdrawn, and he came to Longboat Fort in Shuijian Land.

A dead bird landed on the window.

Looking in through an open window, in front of the burning fireplace, Irene was holding little Lild's fleshy arm, waving it back and forth to amuse him.

Erin teased: "Doo-doo-doo-tat-tat"

"Giggle" Little Lild smiled happily.

"Tattoo!"

"cluck"

As an aunt, Erin was very conscientious.

When Li Qi found Mrs. Jielin again, she was sitting in front of the bed with a glass of wine in her hand, her eyes were dull. The difference from the Desert Pearl was that she didn't have any expectations in her eyes.

Different people make different choices, so they have to bear different endings. Li Qi's remaining feelings for her are getting weaker and weaker, and now only little Leed is left to maintain the superficial friendship between the two sides.

Maybe he will pretend to be affectionate in front of the child, but it's hard to get over it.

Another page turned.

"It's too boring to be lazy and have no vitality."

He picked up a bookmark and tucked it in the book, and lifted the blanket over his lap.

The heavy snow outside had stopped, he pushed open the door of the hall, and the servant Pitchfork trotted over immediately and put another overcoat on his shoulders.

"My lord, you want to go out? The tavern?"

"Has the blacksmith shop stopped?" Li Qi asked first.

In this weather, the tavern must be full of people. Although the tavern has begun to expand, there are still not enough seats.

Fortunately, some people like to visit, and they don't necessarily have to go to the tavern.

"The river is frozen, so the factory should have stopped." The one who spoke was the follower Luo Luo. The young man was no longer short, and he had grown a beard on his face.

"Find two blacksmiths at random... Forget it, I'll go by myself. It's only interesting if you do it yourself."

He rode on his horse and went straight to the blacksmith's workshop, followed by Carrot.

The factory shut down without incident. As the main source of power, the river water was frozen, and the hydraulic forging hammer stopped operating. It would take at least a month for it to be unable to start normally.

The guard at the gate saw that it was the lord who came, and immediately unlocked the door to welcome him in.

"We must speed up the research on the steam engine, and wait until next year to eliminate the hydraulic forging hammer."

In fact, Li Qi himself is not sure whether the help brought by the steam engine is greater, or the magic is better. Judging from the results of his recent research on magic, magic can do too many things, and it can bring a large number of people out of nothing. Freed from meaningful labor.

Carrot helped Li Qi light the fire with great eyesight.

Calcined, hammered.

Li Qi turned the sledgehammer with one hand, and the efficiency of forging iron was not worse than that of a hydraulic forging hammer, and even much better. With the strength of his arm, the sledgehammer could smash a living person into mud.

After all, he also forged weapons with Master Jin Kai, and Li Qi also watched the blacksmiths forge the iron before, and there were no major problems in the whole process.

He cut two irregular pieces of iron into the shape of arc blades, drilled holes, and clamped them with wooden boards.

"Skate, it's done!"

Li Qi was very happy: "Go, go out for a stroll."

The river next to the blacksmith's factory was completely frozen. Li Qi took a stone and threw it down to try it. A pit was smashed into the ice surface, but it didn't crack and was very strong.

He tied the ice skates under his boots, and under Radish's astonished gaze, he jumped onto the ice. Relying on his extremely high body control ability, Li Qi went from staggering and not adapting to making an emergency stop and slipping backwards with ease.

Even with his cheating physical fitness, he can do two figure skating, but it's a pity that he lacks a partner.

Li Qi looked at the dazed carrot: "Ice skating with men is nothing interesting."

So Akeke, Pitts and other maids ran over happily after hearing that there was a new game to play with the lord.

In consideration of not favoring one over another, the male servant was also called.

Li Qi even directly brought Lukara, a young dragon descendant, to artificially heat the fire and help him forge iron.

Soon there was a beautiful landscape on the ice, and the little maids staggered and moved on the ice, looking scared and wanting to play, which made Li Qi laugh.

Even Lacey Heath came to join in the fun.

Everyone has been tired for a year, and this heavy snow is an opportunity for everyone to stop and have a rest.

Whatever the lord plays will become popular.

After the blacksmiths got the news, they immediately started working on the iron.

The hydraulic forging hammer can't be used, so use a hand hammer. Anyway, it's just smashing some iron pieces. There are a lot of stocks. With a little modification, it can be used as an ice skate. Even the carpenter's workshop is forced to start operating to jointly make skate shoes. .

The sales of skate shoes are increasing day by day, and even temporarily caused the scene of people queuing up to buy skates in the business district on a snowy day.

On the fourth day after the heavy snow.

The skating activities were like a virus infection. For a while, there were skating people everywhere on the ice, densely packed, and most of the young porcupine collars came out.

Fortunately, the river is wide enough, and the artificial lake created by excavating clay from the brick kiln factory can accommodate thousands of people skating on it.

Some youthful and ignorant boys and girls also took advantage of the good opportunity of skating and added the excuse of "teaching" to catch the right skating, and they naturally held hands together.

Although they often fell into a pile, they rubbed their buttocks and laughed.

Li Qi was very pleased. It seemed that the birth rate of newborns next year would not disappoint him.

When people feel happy and their lives are better, they naturally want to have children.

It only promotes birth without improving the environment and living standards, and everyone is struggling. It is difficult for oneself to live. How can anyone want to give birth.

There is an obvious contrast between the desert area and the East Gorge.

The only thing that makes Li Qi regret is the snowball fight. As long as he participates in it, the snowball will completely bypass him, making him feel no sense of participation.

Even Lacey, who is an extraordinary person, lost the accuracy of the snowball when facing Li Qi, and always sacrificed his life to hit the snowball thrown by Li Qi.

This is boring.

Li Qi could only make a snowman alone.

It's not easy to be a lord, even if you want to have fun, you can't do it.

In order not to spoil the atmosphere, he also deliberately found a remote place. After all, when he was present, he would be full of oppression, which made the lovers unable to let go, so he found a place to throw a snowman.

I didn't expect that I, who contributed to the marriage rate of the entire territory, did nothing but hide away.

The craftsmanship of making a snowman is average, and it belongs to the level of abstraction that only you can appreciate.

After struggling for a long time to no avail, he simply used magic and transfiguration to transform a big messy snowball into a villain with a shield and a dagger and a hat.

And it can move and make "ha" and "ha" sounds.

"The movements are still too stiff. I don't know if the combination of alchemy and runes can produce better effects. It would be great if the effect can be maintained all the time."

Just when he bowed his head and thought.

"Crack~"

A snowball hit him in the back.

Li Qi turned around and found Akeke standing in the distance, with Pitts beside him.

"My lord, Akeke hit it." Pitts tremblingly raised his finger and pointed at the tall slender girl. She felt that her brain must have been frozen, otherwise how would she dare to promise Akeke to come and throw a snowball to the lord.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the sockets of my eyes turned red quickly.

Shouldn't he be beheaded?
"Crack~" "Crack~"

Two snowballs, one hit Pitts on the forehead, and the soft snowball exploded on her head, which didn't hurt but stunned her.

The lord responded to Snowball?Wronged, I didn't throw a snowball.

On the other hand, the tall and slender girl on the side has deftly dodged away.

The fear and worry in my heart disappeared instantly when I met the Lord Lord's smile. It turned out that the Lord was not angry.

"Ah! Akeke, you escaped!"

Pitts thought to himself: "Let's hit Akeke, I don't dare to fight my lord."

Then she saw Akeke gather another snowball and smash it at the lord without fear of death.

Where is that girl who blushes every time she sees the lord, who are you!

"Crack" Akeke didn't favor one over another, and another snowball hit Pitts in the face.

Not only that, the Lord Lord's snowball also smashed over.

After several consecutive snowball attacks, Pitts has gray hair all over his head.

"It doesn't matter, just die!"

She bent down to collect a snowball, and rushed towards Li Qi: "Ah——!"

But Li Qi's snowball was faster, hitting her cheek with precision.

"Ouch", Pitts lay down in the snow.

However, while Li Qi was chasing Akeke, she quietly got up and attacked him.

success!

When the lord turned his head to look over, Pitts yelled "ah!" and ran away.

The snowball fight quickly turned into a three-person melee, and no one used supernatural strength, and no one evaded.

When he finally stopped, Pitts felt his hot hands and suddenly came back to his senses.

"I lost several snowballs to the lord, and even smashed them on his head!" Her heartbeat stopped suddenly.

However, compared to his own boldness, Akeke could be called arrogant, even sneaking snow into the lord's collar.

"Okay, it's time to go back, or you will get sick easily." Li Qi walked towards Akeke, raised his hand and patted her on the head, and the snowflakes fell.

The girl who was crazy just now stood there obediently, pinching the clothes with her red hands and letting Li Qi pat them lightly. The red seemed to climb up from her hands, quickly climbed to her cheeks, and spread behind her ears.

It was the first time for Pitts to see Akeke go crazy like this, even a little coquettish.

Then what Pitts didn't expect was that the lord raised his hand and patted his head again, sweeping the snow off her head.

The uneasiness in Pitts' heart was soothed as the wide palm gently fell on her head, and her cheeks blushed uncontrollably.

It turned out that the lord's hands felt so secure.

She looked at Akeke quietly, and found that he was looking at him and smiled.
