Lord of Rot

Chapter 468 I Never Listened to Him Since I was a Child

There was no obstacle in the desert trip, and it didn't even take Li Qi much time to go back and forth.

He didn't expect that he just quietly went to the desert, and when he came back, he saw a raven flying from the desert with a letter from thousands of miles away.

"Maybe have to look into remote communication magic, preferably with some video calling function."

Li Qi asked the black dragon Duo to go back underground, where the magic creature farm was in the initial stage of exploration, so he had to pay more attention to it.

When the black dragon left, it happened to bring the grass of life with it. After feeding it to the manticore, it should be able to usher in a large number of litters.

He opened the letter from the desert, which contained a message from Lisu Mama.

"The goodwill of Gaoxue City? Want to buy and sell slaves."

Li Qi has always been thinking about Gaoxue City. The population of 50 is enough to make him fat in one go. If it wasn't for the group of slave owners who only wanted to sell people to various places, but to train them into an army, maybe the four dukes would into the Big Five.

But judging from what we have learned before, Gaoxue City really has small tricks to train soldiers, but it is a pity that they are not professionals. Coupled with the slave owners' consistent habit of squeezing, the soldiers they train are all sallow and emaciated, not even as good as eating Well-fed militiamen with pitchforks and shovels.

He replied quickly, telling Lisu Mama in the letter that he must maintain friendly relations with Gaoxue City, expressing his strong willingness to buy slaves, and secretly investigating what kind of power Gaoxue City is secretly holding.

At the same time, we must actively contact Oasis City. After all, Oasis City's level of force is not as good as that of Leiweng City, and it is easy to overthrow that city.

Connecting the north and the south, keeping in touch with Linta Bay, there will be no dead ends in the desert area. A ring-shaped force across the East Gorge and the desert is enough to deal with any future changes in this country.

The more Li Qi understands, the more he can feel the instability of the kingdom right now.

On the day that Duke Yaori dies, it must be a time of great chaos in the East Gorge.

Even in the chaos, Li Qi didn't want to find the so-called life-sustaining treasure for him, and believed that the other party had already given up.

Standing in front of the window, watching the raven spread its wings and escape into the bitter cold wind, Li Qi sighed in his heart: "Even without any extraordinary power, 50 enslaved and brainwashed people are not so easy to deal with."

It was easy to kill, but he didn't want to take pleasure in killing.

"Maybe we can consider building hot air balloons and airships."

He has technical materials in his hand, and a ghoul who is not afraid of death, so he can keep trial and error.

The current war is still at the level of land warfare.

Unless there are superhumans, cavalry can still command the battlefield.

In naval battles, Li Qi can easily dominate with the simple combination of artillery and wooden boats.

If it is air combat, it is a dimensionality reduction strike.

"My lord, the night school is about to start." Along with the knock on the door, the voice of the male servant came from outside the door.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Li Qi closed the window, picked up the cane leaning on the table, opened the door and walked out.

The male servant who had been waiting at the door put on his clothes for him.

Li Qi said: "Let's go, let's go and listen to the first public lecture of the Tonks scholar."

……

The first class on magic was very successful. After all, few of the teachers employed in Porcupine Castle really understood magic. The only Thomas Scholar who was proficient in class would always digress and make students dizzy.

After class, Li Qi had a brief conversation with Scholar Tonks. Although she was a bit desperate for money, she was unquestionable in terms of the quality of the class, and the group of young apprentices around her could also prove the teaching level of Scholar Tonks .

The Tonks scholar was also amazed at Li Qi's good luck, and actually found a group of seedlings who were barely passable spellcasters.

Li Qi just smiled slightly at this. He spent a lot of money in order to let the young apprentices grow up.

A large amount of krypton gold, regardless of cost, is of course different from those who have eaten their last meal and never finished their next meal.

A group of young apprentices with talent and future are thriving.

Li Qi was very generous with money, and kept giving money to Tonks scholars. Money is not a problem, as long as the bottom line can be broken through.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the New Year of the Divine Calendar.

A group of people gathered in the square of Porcupine Collar, and the comedy troupe, which had been invited many times to perform, once again showed its housekeeping skills.

Some young chef apprentices who have learned cooking skills in the castle set up stalls to sell some simple and easy-to-make delicacies.

There are also some dexterous girls who make up some beautiful gadgets for sale, and a group of children, especially girls, gather beside their booths, chatting about which one looks better.

Although the porcupine collar is very busy and the pace of life is fast, everyone has accumulated a lot of money in the past year, and now is a good time to spend.

Li Qi walked into the Hall of Valor. At the beginning, he just wanted to enhance the cohesion and sense of honor of the residents of the territory. Even if they died, the lord would remember them, and the residents of the territory would remember them.

But I didn't expect that in just a blink of an eye, a large wall was covered with names.

"It's still the best when it's clean inside," Li Qi sighed in his heart.

He still has a lot of names in his mind. Some of the soldiers were soldiers who followed his father Lild back then, and some were the first batch of soldiers he personally selected and trained.

Those looks eventually turned into immutable names.

He looked at the names on the wall and pondered for a long time, then turned and left.

"Quiet! Be quiet!"

The celebration and singing and dancing stopped amidst shouts.

The crowd gathered in front of the Hall of Valor.

Cro Camel, who was holding an alchemy loudspeaker, was speaking excitedly.

In the entire porcupine collar, I am afraid that there will be no second nobleman who is as overly elegant as him. After all, not everyone will study noble etiquette carefully and develop it into their only advantage.

"The First Porcupine Collar Commendation Conference for Outstanding Contributors has officially begun~!"

Li Qi stood aside, looking at Cro Camel on the high platform, and couldn't help but wonder: "When I wrote the lines, did I refer to the year-end party?"

He wandered away, thinking about selling abductees, thinking about unforgettable tonight, and he didn't come back to his senses until Cro Camel called himself on the stage.

Li Qi needs to go to the stage to present the honor medal, as well as the golden day of the award.

Like a little cripple, he started with the accidental discovery of limestone in the castle, then went to work in the mason construction team, delved into the research and development of hot packs, and was finally recruited by Li Qi to research soap.

Nowadays, soap has become one of the important industrial pillars of porcupine collar. Ladies and gentlemen, when buying soap, you must look for the porcupine brand.

It can be said that Little Lame has withstood the test both in terms of invention and innovation and loyalty.

The little lame man had changed into a new set of clothes today, his hair was well-groomed, and his face was blushing with excitement.

Looking at the girls who were giving eyeballs under the stage, his waist was straight and his eyes were full of spirits. Who would have thought that he would be able to look like this one day?
He is a little lame, because his father is lame, and he has to be called that even if he has a good leg.

But now, he can proudly say that his name cannot determine the condition of his legs, but the name Little Lame will receive infinite glory because of his own existence.

Li Qi patted the shoulder of the little lame leg lightly: "If there is a girl who is like-minded, I can preside over the wedding for you."

The cheeks of the little lame blushed with excitement: "Thank you, my lord!"

He will definitely, a wedding presided over by the lord will definitely make the beloved girl happier and make the wedding full of glory.

In addition, such as sericulture, blacksmithing, carpentry, wine making, etc., have also selected people who can convince the crowd, or a team of special contributions to receive honors.

Even if they weren't canonized as knights, receiving the glory under the gaze of thousands of people made them feel light and light, and some legs were trembling with excitement. They had never received so many gazes.

Li Qi watched Crowe Camel drank a lot of water to moisturize his throat, and then rushed to the stage to continue speaking and control the field.

Everyone has their own advantages, just like the role of Crowe Camel is difficult to find someone to replace.

"There is always a feeling of the finale and family reunion, and something will happen soon." He shook his head and pressed down what was wrong in his heart. This is not a novel, so there is no such thing as a coincidence.

After the commendation meeting, the entertainment continued.

The crowd dispersed, and gathered together in twos and threes to chat about the commendation meeting just now. Even though there were hundreds of people on the stage to receive the award, there were still thousands of people in the audience.

"Do you know the one who received the award? It's my wife's brother."

"There are so many people receiving awards, which one are you talking about?"

"It's the one from the Masons' construction team!"

"The construction team also has hundreds of people."

"...Anyway, I can touch his medal when I go back."

"I can get a medal next year too!"

Everyone expects and believes in it, as long as they work harder.

The whole country is only the territory of Baron Porcupine, so I will try to eliminate slaves as much as possible.

Someone else sighed: "Your lord, you are definitely the most benevolent lord I have ever seen."

"Have you met other lords?"

"Before I became a slave, my family was in the Marquis of Rif's mine, and my ancestors used iron pickaxes to mine for generations. My grandfather's only wish was to have a soldier in the family, and use the sword made by the family to go to the battlefield."

"Are you a soldier now?"

"No, I forge iron in a blacksmith's factory."

"..." There was a moment of silence, and then the man exclaimed: "Then you must make a lot of money. The most profitable place for porcupine collars is the blacksmith factory."

"Hey, not too much, I just bought a house in the second phase of the residential area. When my child is older and sensible, I will send him to the castle to study at night. A friend of my wife's aunt's daughter, Just working as a maid in the castle, I heard from her that the child must be sent to night school as early as possible, the sooner the better."

"Don't let him serve as a soldier?"

"What kind of soldiers are you! Your lord values ​​knowledgeable people the most. Literate blacksmiths earn several copper stars more than illiterate blacksmiths! If you can become a spellcaster... I heard that spellcasters don't have to work at all. I can receive the money." The voice of the second half of the sentence was lowered, lest others would overhear it.

"What about your grandfather's last wish?"

"It's okay, I never listened to him since I was a child."
