Lord of Rot

Chapter 479 Unexpected Coincidence

"Charge! Rocket!"

"Wow—!"

On the training ground of Porcupine Castle, a bright light flashed past, and Li Qi, holding a lance, rode a galloping eagle across a distance of a hundred feet.

The flapping wings assisted the running, setting off a gust of wind and flying dust.

The cooperation of one person and one eagle was seamless. With the tip of the spear as the head, they crashed into hundreds of straw targets like shuttles.

Everything was swept away, leaving only a mess.

Standing aside, Lacey Sith, Dragonborn Luka and others swallowed dryly.

"My lord, it seems to have become stronger." Luka's voice was a little hoarse.

Lacey, who has actually seen Li Qi fight, has a more serious expression: "Compared to last year's Dongxia competition, it is much stronger, it seems like a different person."

Throughout last year, the entire territory was very busy, and Li Qi was the busiest among them. He thought his combat effectiveness would decline, but he didn't expect to bring them such a "surprise".

Everyone is a transcendent, why is there such a big gap between each other?

"Not bad!"

Li Qi patted Rocket's head lightly.

The rocket screamed happily, as if to say, if you let me fly in the sky, the speed will be faster and the power will be greater.

"No." Li Qi shook his head: "Our advantage lies on the ground, and even your feathers can't stop the arrows that shoot down."

The scene when the rocket flew in the sky and was almost shot down by the Warcraft man is still vivid. Flying in the air did increase the mobility of the rocket, but at the same time weakened Li Qi's offensive ability. Unless the enemy is also good at air combat, otherwise , or fighting on the ground or at low altitude, Li Qi's advantages can be better utilized.

If he only flies in the sky, Li Qi is the mascot sitting on the back of the rocket.

Li Qi comforted again: "It looks like you won't grow any longer, and the outfits you agreed before can also be arranged."

I hadn't paid much attention to this before, because the defense power of ordinary metal may not be stronger than that of eagle feathers. Putting on heavier armor, except for slow movement, there is no improvement at all. Li Qi thinks it is better to be naked.

"Cuckoo" Rocket raised his head, looking forward to the outfit.

"Then make a set!"

"Cuckoo!"

Li Qi was in a good mood, because after getting the Thunder Gem named Giant Heart from Leonie Hoffman as an "unauthorized apology gift", that thing fully helped Li Qi quickly improve his strength, like a giant The shredder, it can't bring Li Qi a direct improvement, but it can speed up Li Qi's speed.

In the past, Li Qi needed to eat various high-energy foods and extraordinary honey to accumulate energy, digest it, and strengthen his body. The whole process was not too fast.

But with Thunder Gem, the whole process is like pressing the accelerator button.

Of course there are drawbacks, that is the waste of energy, the conversion rate is not as high as the body's self-absorption efficiency, he needs to eat more meals every day, so he just connects the honey water to the needle and injects it directly into the body.

One day's cost of food costs 2 gold days, and if you add all kinds of potions bought, 5 gold days will not be able to beat it.

But Li Qi predicted that in four or five months at most, he would be able to break through again, enter a new level, and become a stronger life, and it would be worth spending any money for it.

As a purely flesh-and-blood superhuman, Li Qi's strengthening is mainly reflected in his body, that is, his body is getting stronger and stronger.

Before, he couldn't bear the eagle's full flight, and sometimes he had to hug the eagle's neck and stick to its back to avoid the gust of wind, but now he can resist head-on, without fear at all.

The rocket is also very happy about this, it can fly as much as it wants, and vent the excess energy of the body.

Li Qi is very concerned about Rocket's health, so of course he doesn't want to let it become a crazy pairing of stallions.

After eating the blood herbal medicine, the body of the eagle, which is very close to the griffin, is definitely not comparable to the cubs born by the rocket and other mares.

After the body becomes stronger, there are naturally some small troubles, for example, he has the same problem as Brother Monkey, the weapon is too light, and it is easy to break when used.

Li Qi's solution to this is very simple - prepare a few more.

He rode the eagle to the edge, jumped off the saddle, and Akeke immediately came with honey water and a few bottles of potions.

Herb Apprentice Vic's pharmaceutical technology is not as good as Huntress Ramsnor's, but some simple enhancement potions can still be crafted, and the recipes can also be bought.

Li Qi gulped down the potion to replenish his rapidly depleted physical strength and energy, and then drank extraordinary honey water to quench his thirst.

He is the only one who dares to gulp like this now. Others will think that they can't digest it, or even have nosebleeds because of too much energy, or can't fall asleep due to too much energy, or set up tents all day and all night. Regarding this point, a certain The dragon-born youth who did not want to be named agreed.

Li Qi put down the cup, stretched comfortably, feeling the rapid growth of his body under the acceleration of the Thunder Gem, and his skin and muscles were burning hot.

"My lord, there is news from Iron Valley." Lacey handed a letter to Li Qi and explained why he was standing here: "The church is about to be completed, but you need to write a letter to the Pope before that, Invite a bishop."

"Of course." Li Qi nodded: "I will write a letter myself in a while."

The lord doesn't have a church, and he can't get married, so he can find someone to reason with.

But the rules of the kingdom have been established, and he has no intention of challenging, after all, he is also a favored person on the surface.

Li Qi didn't wait for Dongxia's letter, which made Li Qi feel that something was wrong. The news of the Duke's death had already spread, but there was no official notification sent to the lords.

There must be something wrong with this.

Li Qi went back to his study and quickly wrote a letter to send to the capital. It would be a long journey, and it would take a long time at the speed of a raven.

From now on, he just needs to wait for the pope's reply. Li Qi believes that this process will not be too difficult, and it is impossible for the church to give up Tiegu.

"My lord, there is a letter from Greenwood Castle in Linta Bay." Pitts' hurried voice came from outside, and it was obvious that she rushed over as soon as she got the letter: "The raven told me that it is very important."

"Okay, please come in." Li Qi took the letter, looked at Wisdom's seal, and couldn't help wondering: "Stacy's?"

Neither he nor Stacey belonged to people who liked to write letters. Although the two sides maintained correspondence, they would tacitly choose to talk when they had something to say, and they didn’t have to rack their brains when they had nothing to say.

The letters of love and love are not in line with the characters of the two, and Li Qi's sweet love letters are also awkward to write, and even if he can write them, seeing those letters with Stacey's character will probably give goosebumps all over his body.

It is impossible for them to have frequent correspondence, so there is only another possibility.

problem occurs!
Li Qi quickly opened the letter, and there was a simple message written on it.

Grand Prince Hugo Kein, dead!

The time of death was the same as that of Duke Yaori, both on the same night.

Li Qi didn't expect that instead of waiting for the news of the Duke's death, he got the news of the death of the eldest prince in a distant place. Things in the world are always unexpected.

"The cause of death was a fall from a fall from a window of the castle, having drunk heavily before, and all those who drank with the great prince had their heads beheaded by the angry king and queen."

The whole thing seems to be fine, because the number of nobles who were drunk and fell from the city wall, upstairs, etc. to their deaths was several times higher than those who died on the battlefield.

Based on what Li Qi knew and the death methods he saw in the books, the probability of nobles dying due to unrestrained and happy missteps accounted for more than 40.00% of the mortality rate.

Another [-]% is poisoned by enemies, including inheritance issues, and Li Qi has a great say in this regard.

In addition, another [-]% died from glory contests, duels and other face-saving reasons.

In hunting activities, the probability of being killed by wild boars, and killed by wild animals such as wolves and lions also accounts for more than [-]%.

There is even a 5.00% chance of accidentally slipping into a cesspit and drowning, and of drinking water and choking to death.

In their old age, less than [-]% of the nobles died of old age.

And less than 5.00% of the nobles who died in battle were even less than those who drowned in the cesspit.

Therefore, Li Qi felt very reasonable when he learned that the eldest prince fell to his death after drinking.

He folded the letter.

Lin Tawan was able to get this news because it was related to the Akers family of Red Heart Castle, and they have always had a very good relationship.

"There are too many coincidences, but it can only be a coincidence that they are separated by thousands of miles."

It is even Li Qi himself, it is difficult to guarantee that he can kill the eldest prince and the Duke of Yaori who are under strict protection at the same time, and it is even difficult to kill one of them by force. He will not underestimate a duke, let alone the capital.

There are many coincidences in the world, and countless people died on the same day, but it just happened that two important people died at the same time.

"Perhaps, other nobles also had accidents?" Li Qi always felt that it was not that simple.

He thought for a while, and wrote the news of the Duke's death in his heart. He believed that the knight Wisdom would like the news very much. They could easily get rid of Dongxia, but then who should they pledge allegiance to?

Li Qi started to write at his desk, combined with Prince One Ear's previous move to contact the half-orc, Li Qi didn't trust the Jinxiong family so much. What does it matter.

Precautions are the most important thing.

After finishing writing, Li Qi found Pitts.

"Feed it some honey water." Li Qi said to Pitts: "Tell the raven that it must be sent to Linta Bay as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Pitts took on the job of translation faithfully.

The raven spread its wings and rushed into the cold wind.

Looking at Pitts, Li Qi suddenly remembered that he had obtained the extraordinary precipitate of bird virtue before. Unfortunately, there is no concept of druids in this world, but it may be useful to create a strange object with that extraordinary precipitate.

"My lord?" Pitts looked at Li Qi suspiciously.

"Keep an eye on it for me," Li Qi said, "No matter where the letter is, let the ravens who send the letter arrive and deliver it to me as soon as possible."

Pitts nodded seriously: "Yes!"
