Lord of Rot

Chapter 145 The Porcupine and the Delicious Sandworm
In Pigtail Bay, the sun with half of its face hanging below the sea surface burned the clouds red with peripheral vision.

The ship that was lowered with the pirate flag floated slightly with the waves in the distance, and a group of teenagers carried small buckets and picked up shells and fish and shrimp washed up on the reef by the sea.

Fresh oysters will be sent to the castle, some will be sent to the lord's table, and some will be sent to the soldiers' rice bowls.

Peary, the old captain from Longship Castle, is training.

"My lord!" Peary ran over after seeing Li Qi, seeing his red nose and cheeks, he must be a loyal customer of sour apple beer.

When running, there was a strong smell of alcohol.

"How is the sailor training?"

"It will take at least a year." Piri knew that lords and nobles generally had no idea about the training of their opponents. They were always eager to give orders now and then do everything right the next moment. As an old captain, Piri knew that he had to first He explained clearly: "This is the fastest time. Some of them are fishermen from the water stream. They are born to live on the water, otherwise it will be slower."

"You can build a port during this time," Peary said hastily. "The porcupine collar is very deep, making it perfect for berthing ships, like the Levin."

"The Levin?" Li Qi was puzzled.

"It's that ship." Piri turned his head and pointed to the pirate ship on the sea: "Although its appearance has changed a little, it has been repaired, but I still remember that when I was a young man, I saw that merchant ship , it was the ship of the merchant Levin, who used to transport slaves and sometimes a small amount of wine."

Li Qi didn't ask about the situation of the merchant Levin. Since his ships had all become pirate ships, he must have died under the knife of pirates.

"Porcupine" said Li Qi.

Pilly was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, my lord, the Porcupine!"

He gestured and said: "Over there, the location close to the headland is very suitable for building a port. The terrain is relatively flat, and a watchtower can be built on the headland."

The location of Piri's gesture is about a long distance from the crypt on the headland, and the port is also close to the crypt, so it is convenient to move in case of emergency.

He wasn't worried about the exposure of the crypt on the headland. Whether the crypt was opened or not was completely under his control.

As for the big natural hole, it will be enough for people to fill it with stones at that time, and build a watchtower through it, which will serve multiple purposes.

It's just that the construction of the port may not be that simple. Li Qi will give priority to the development of agriculture and feed more than 2000 people first.

"Have you been to many places?"

Although Li Qi doesn't have a sea phobia, he certainly doesn't like the sea very much. Being down-to-earth will make him stable, and looking at the sea will relax his mind, but he will be a little unbearable when the boat shakes.

"Yes, my lord!" Piri raised his chin, like a radish in the field, stubbornly pulled out half of his head.

"I used to be the captain of the Black Horse, a two-masted sailing ship that can carry 100 people. I was responsible for transporting wine, cotton cloth, and leather for merchants. I set out from the East Gorge and sailed along the coast to the Northland, the spirits of the Northland. It dazzles me, the women there are extremely open, and they will take off after just a few words...uh" Peary looked at the lord who was staring at him with a blank expression, and suddenly realized that he is not in front of a noble When speaking yellow, it would be very offensive: "You must have never seen the scene of flying fish jumping out of the water, they have wings, they will fly to the deck, and you will hear the siren singing in the middle of the night, they have charming Appearance, but only the upper body, and with their soul-stirring songs, they would lure sailors and wait for the prey."

About the same as the Porcupine.

"So, you saw it with your own eyes?"

"No." Piri shook his head vigorously: "My guts are very small, which is why I can survive in the vast sea. I am the chef on the sea. He was taken away by the sea monster. We haven't eaten for a month since then." If you want something good, you can only temporarily find a port to stop and hire a chef again before setting sail again."

Sea monster siren, mermaid, merman, there are many stories about these sea creatures on the earth.

When the mermaid was not black, Li Qi liked the fairy tale.

"My lord, would you like to visit the Porcupine?"

"certainly"

Li Qi had been on that ship before, when killing people.

The sailors pushed the boat into the sea, and when Richie and Peary got on board, they gave a hard push, and then two sailors jumped on board and slid the oars.

Climbing onto the boat through the ladder, Piri excitedly introduced the details of the Porcupine to Li Qi.

Because this ship was mainly used to hold slaves, the bottom of the cabin has a large space, which is very suitable for being converted into a merchant ship for trade.

Without artillery, the pirates' way of plundering is nothing more than boarding battles, so the risk of sailing at sea comes more from the ruthless sea and weather than from pirates.

On the beach, several sailors have finished their training.

Li Qi, who came ashore, noticed that they were grabbing something. They were digging on the sand with their fingers, and they easily pulled out long strips like earthworms.

"Sandworm?"

Li Qi still has a fresh memory of the sandworm, which is called "natural monosodium glutamate".

The sailors are of course unwilling to let go of such a delicious dish.

"People can grab a little bit and grind it into sandworm powder to serve as monosodium glutamate."

It can be eaten, but the premise is that the shape cannot be seen.

Piri didn't know what the lord was thinking, and stood aside obediently. As a sailor who had sailed at sea for most of his life, after leaving Donggang City, his life seemed to have lost its meaning. He stayed in the water and drank every day. There are also some small businessmen who hope that he can help manage the ferry, but are the ferry and the ship the same thing?Those stupid businessmen.

Now that he can return to the seaside, and even gallop in the sea with the Porcupine, he only feels that his body has returned to youth.

Li Qi said: "Train the sailors hard, I hope to be able to sail in a year."

Land transportation is too slow, and there are many accidents on the road, but sea transportation will not have these problems, just like starting from Porcupine Collar, it takes more than [-] days to go to Donggang City of the Dongxia Golden Rabbit Family by horse-drawn carriage. Ridges, detours, etc., but if you take a boat, it only takes a few days with the wind. If you encounter a headwind, the speed may be slower, but it is similar to riding a horse. The most important thing is that the boat does not need to go over the mountains.

When it was completely dark, Li Qi returned to Porcupine Castle.

He has local vision, and the night doesn't have much impact on him. Most people still choose to sleep after dark, and hear dogs barking from time to time.

Xia Chan knew it all the time, and after autumn, it should calm down.

After dinner, Li Qi returned to the study.

Glenn came to report to work, and he had completed the trivial work to a great extent, but it still took a lot of time to report to Li Qi.

More than 2000 people are fully active, and countless things happen every day, both accidental and non-accidental.

The good news is that someone else is pregnant.

"Let the pharmacist pay more attention and give pregnant women regular physical examinations," Li Qi said, "The porcupine collar needs fresh blood injection."

"Yes, my lord!" Grant replied immediately.

The first batch of slaves bought, they may have a sense of belonging to the porcupine collar, but they are outsiders after all.

But the children born here are the native porcupine leaders.

After Gren left, Li Qi fell into a momentary daze.

Recently, the number of letters from Greenwood Castle has decreased significantly, but what really made him feel lost and thinking about was another matter, about Mrs. Jielin of Longship Castle.

He picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and sent it to the servant with a raven.

"Be a person with less vulgar tastes." Li Qi thought to himself: "At least I can't be a person who puts on his pants and refuses to accept his account."

After finishing all these tasks, Li Qi left the study with the energy storage cane and went to the garden.

A hole was opened in front of the unnamed tombstone, and he walked in.

There's still work to do tonight.
