Lord of Rot

Chapter 186 Water Monster Legend

In the early morning, the sun turned over the Valley of Pig's Ridge, and half a bright red head poked out from the top of the mountain.

The sun was shining, two carriages, one in front and one behind, surrounded by a dozen soldiers, walked towards the outside of the porcupine collar.

The residents lined the road to see each other off.

It was Baron Leech's carriage.

It's just a little weird that the huge yellow-red scaled monitor lizard was lying on the carriage, shaking its head slightly, but no one noticed its existence.

Occasionally someone glanced at it, and immediately looked away.

Under the eerie warm atmosphere, the convoy left.

"My lord is the most benevolent lord I have ever seen"

Grant watched Li Qi's leaving carriage, sighed and said: "He never pursues enjoyment, but thinks all night and all night, inventing many magical things for the porcupine collar."

"Yes." Joe, who was standing aside and paying attention, nodded in agreement.

For other nobles, a small gathering every three days and a big gathering every five days are simply normal.

There are always various reasons for banquets, dance parties, and reminiscing about old times.

Look at Cro Camel, drinking and bragging non-stop every day.

Nobles are already the top people in this world, all they have to do every day is think about how to enjoy themselves.

But Baron Li Qi is completely different. He has never held a banquet, and the few celebrations once or twice are all together with the whole porcupine collar. In their eyes, Li Qi is like an ascetic monk in a monastery. He only cares about building a house every day. Pave roads, farm fields, raise pigs.

Caring about food and vegetables, caring about the work of blacksmiths, brick factories, carpenters, vegetable market operations, wine making, honey, soap...etc.

No aristocrat would enjoy doing this.

Some knight lords in small villages even prefer that all the people in the territory starve to death, or initiate "righteous snatching" by themselves, and it is absolutely impossible for them to care about the lowly food cultivation.

Land means lowliness.

It even happened many times in history that a certain lord asked the knights to farm the land, and then the angry knights rebelled against the lord and killed him.

Just like the nobles only eat food on the ground, they will never eat food that grows underground.

There are a few farmers who grow potatoes secretly, but they are not allowed on the surface. Every field belongs to the nobles. You can plant whatever you are asked to grow. If you can’t grow food, you will starve to death. It’s as simple as that.

But Li Qi doesn't have so many demands. He is keen to try food and has a brain of food recipes.

Mashed potatoes are bad?Occasionally frying French fries and sprinkling some salt and pepper can also bring a happy afternoon.

Therefore, when they saw that Li Qi had decided to leave the porcupine collar, Grant and the others were very surprised.

My lord is finally ready to go out for a stroll and do something that a noble lord should do?I am so relieved.

The carriage swayed forward.

Li Qi had no idea that he was such a "noble" person in the eyes of his subordinates.

get together?

What's the point of a group of nobles having a silver party.

My family knew about my family affairs, and after challenging my weaknesses, Li Qi realized that he might not be able to pass the beauty test, so he should avoid it.

And farming infrastructure is so interesting. Last year, the 200 porcupine collars who couldn’t eat enough to cover their clothes developed into a territory of more than 2000 people in one year. Everyone has food, everyone has a job, the people are rich, and the territory is strong. , isn't that kind of joy of harvest more interesting than opening a silver party?
In the eyes of Baron Li Qi, watching his territory grow step by step, the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.

The destination of his departure this time is the Burning City, that huge city attached to the volcano.

As early as Guy's memories during his lifetime, Li Qi had developed a strong interest in the round table meeting. More than a dozen extraordinary people gathered, and perhaps behind each of them was a force similar to Hill Palm Fort.

"This group of people, like Guy, belong to lawful evil or chaotic evil?"

It's a pity Guy only attended one round table and didn't know much about the party itself.

Li Qi was well prepared for this action.

He only let a small number of soldiers follow him, with two carriages.

On one of the carriages was a ghoul monitor lizard.

However, it had a strange object [Invisible Pot] upside down on its head. After many attempts, it was guaranteed that the ghoul monitor could completely "disappear". At the same time, Li Qi also used mental power to control the ghoul, otherwise he would Will forget the existence of this guy.

With such a huge monster lying on the carriage, no one felt that something was wrong.

Strange things are so magical and charming. Li Qi is very interested in the appearance of strange things, but there is no detailed content to record the birth of strange things, and the occasional vague words are not of reference value.

In Longship Fort, Nils, the 'Stone Man' ghoul, was left behind. The extraordinary ghouls Aina and Guy also went to the gathering place after receiving Li Qi's order.

They will take a ferry south at the water stream, which seems to be a detour, but taking a boat can save a lot of time.

……

pier.

A large ferry docks.

The ghoul monitor put its paws on the ferry, trying to climb up.

However, the boat was loaded with people, carriages, goods, etc., and after it was such a big guy, it gradually sank. The people on the boat only felt strange, but they didn't know why the boat would enter the water, and it seemed to be sinking. .

Li Qi had no choice but to quickly control the ghoul monitor lizard to get into the water, and the boat was lifted up in the water.

"Sir, this..."

"Cough cough" Li Qi coughed dryly twice, and ordered: "Hurry up and help scoop out water."

After a lot of busy work, the ferry finally started to move. Under the ferry, the ghoul monitor lizard closely followed the bottom of the boat like a water monster.

They have a few more days to sail.

During this time, Li Qi could only focus on two things, controlling the ghoul monitor to swim below.

After all, Baron Li Qi didn't fight uncertain battles. He had inadvertently understood the situation of the round table meeting, and guessed that there would be conflicts, and the chances of conflicts were very high.

That being the case, he must gather all the extraordinary power that he can use to his side.

……

Longship Castle, Study Room.

Mrs. Jielin touched her slightly swollen belly.

Without the monkey family doing things behind the scenes, Shuijiandi has gained a rare peace, and everything is recovering in an orderly manner.

And with the money from Shanzhangbao and the "selfless help" of the craftsmen, the speed of recovery can be seen with the naked eye.

Water Stream is not a barren land like porcupine collar. With a little management, it can bring great wealth.

Guy told Mrs. Jielin two days ago that he was going to be away for a while.

With no one in the way of her eyes, she felt much better again.

Looking at the recent news about Shuijiandi, Mrs. Jielin moved her hands away from her stomach.

It read: "Baron Porcupine is boarding the ship at the water jiandi pier, ready to go to the burning city."

After all, the relationship between the two is not visible, and it is hard to say that there is affection.

Everyone gets what they need, but Li Qi's follow-up actions have brought Mrs. Jielin a great sense of security.

He never thought of it as just a one-night stand.

"It should be because I was worried about me, so I deliberately took a detour here." She found an excuse for Li Qi's behavior of "detouring to the water stream on purpose".

Some time ago, the violent action in Mountain Palm Fort was really scary. She thought that Li Qi didn't trust Guy too much, and felt that she should come and see for herself, but she was afraid that the relationship between the two would cause suspicion, so she made a detour.

Sister Yilin has reminded her many times, but Li Qi reached out to help when she was in crisis twice. How can she guarantee that she will not fall.

Knowing that the other party came to Shuijian once, even if they didn't meet each other, it was a tacit "encounter".

It can be regarded as a little tacit understanding between the two.

Mrs. Jielin's mood is getting better and better.

She picked up another piece of news: "In the past two days, water monsters have appeared in the river channel of Shuijian, and many boats were touched and almost capsized."

　Thank you [Cao Muxiao] 100 rewards, blessings and thanks.
