Lord of Rot

Chapter 20 "Son of the Ranger"

in the afternoon.

Sitting in the study, Li Qi picked up a cup of strong tea and took a sip.

A wild chrysanthemum was found on the mountain of Porcupine Collar, and the baron found out when the little maid happily picked the flower and put it on her ear, so the half-dead chrysanthemum was soaked in his cup.

On the plate on the table is a piece of fresh cream cake. The general recipe comes from Baron Li Qi's dictation. How to make it needs to be researched by the chef himself.

The cream cake without too many decorations is enough to pass the pleasant afternoon. A small amount of rose water has an imperceptible smell, but it makes the taste of the cream cake rich.

He was flipping through a book called "Son of the Ranger Kern Clarke Moore", probably the Ironstone scholar packed the stories compiled by the bard after knowing that the person who bought the book was a nobleman For sale, it does not contain any academic knowledge, only the customs and customs from all over the world, but the customs and customs sung from the mouth of bards, you need to identify the authenticity of the story by yourself.

The story is about the experience of the son of the ranger named Kern Clarkmoore wandering at the giant's foot, but from the perspective of Li Qi's readers, he should be a bard who claims to be the son of the ranger.

He records that he encountered a wild boar with a crystal on its back in the valley.

"...I guess it can't lie down and sleep, but the crystal is really beautiful. At that time, I thought that if I could have a crystal on the back of that wild boar, I would give everything for it, obviously I have the same I was not the only one thinking, my friend Bigfoot ran over, he is a warrior from the Giantfoot Mountain tribe, once crushed the head of a stag with his bare hands, he raised his iron fist and smashed it Wild boar, oh! The big foot fell down, the wild boar knocked him into the air, the blood stained the forest, I ran away in a panic, paying any price? Go to hell, I don’t want to die, I keep running, listen The sound of my heart about to jump out of my ears, the invisible rope tightened my neck, making me breathless, it happens every time I run desperately, but I can't stop, I keep running until there is no more No footsteps to be heard, I am safe.

Later I saw that crystal in a city, the crystal stained with my friend's blood was on sale, but the price was only 180 silver months, I didn't look at the crystal again, no matter it was the price of a life, or 180 silver months I can't accept the price. "

It didn't take much time to read a book to one third of its thickness.

Li Qi guessed that the crystal on the pig's back, if the "son of the ranger" was not lying, it should be a magic material.

This person is full of adventure, or the gene of nonsense.

But when he saw the following story, Li Qi sat up straight.

The story of Son of the Ranger is like a unit drama, and the next page has nothing to do with the previous page.

"I followed a caravan. At the beginning of the Giant's Foot dispute, they were keen to bring long swords and chain armor to various tribes. They should come from the north. There is a high probability that it is the East Gorge or the Enze Plateau, but it is impossible. It’s a world of ice and snow in the north, those big furry bears in wolf skins will definitely melt when they touch the southern sun haha. Once a war starts, it can’t be stopped, especially between tribes who are fighting independently, but they may never know The nobles in the north don’t just send friendship, I guess the cunning nobles hope to let them kill each other, and then take the opportunity to unify the land of Rhea.”

"Unify Lu Reia?"

It is now the 255th year of the Yuan calendar, and the Jinxiong family who ruled the mainland took the position only in the last hundred years. The history before that was only legends, and the brand-new porcupine family did not know the history before that. But it can be determined that the time of the first year is the time when the mainland was unified, which means that the content recorded in this book was at least 255 years ago.

He continued to watch.

"We set up a tent to rest at night. Old Joel drank too much beer to pee. He kept pouring malt wine into his mouth. When we were teasing him, Old Joel ran back in a panic without lifting his pants. , he found a crypt, which may be the hiding place of a certain tribe at Giant's Foot. The tribesmen are like mice, hiding things everywhere. Everyone is drinking too much, and I can tell from their red eyes that they must be planning to search for things , the caravan will turn into a bandit after leaving the city, and I joined them, although I am not interested in robbery, but I am curious about what is in the crypt, after all, the blood of the ranger flows in my body."

Ranger blood?Find a good excuse to rob.

"We went deep into the crypt, and the torches illuminated the front, but soon we were attacked, four gods, what is it, they are shriveled and smelly, their claws and soles are thick, but their bodies are light like monkeys , They tore the fat horn's body with one claw. Everyone swung their swords and killed a few, but more and more monsters came out. I became the front, and I was terrified to hear the sound of falling behind."

Li Qi thought about the female monsters in the second crypt he found.

"I escaped, and then I found the nearby tribal people for help. They thought their friends had been attacked and were very angry. I couldn't tell them the truth. They entered the cave with torches, and the group of fierce things were afraid of light. Haha, they are dead! From the mouth of the tribesmen, we know that the monsters in those crypts are called landmen. According to legend, they are elves who fled underground to avoid disasters a long time ago, before there are historical records. Elf? Is that what it looks like? I'm going to throw up."

"We went deep into the cave, trapped them with firelight, and after killing them all, we saw old Yoel, the guy was still alive, with his arms and legs broken! The tribesman said the landmen Only females, they occasionally return to the ground to prey on males, and the males caught will have their limbs twisted, poor old Joel... But he survived, didn't he? Compared with others, he was lucky. "

Li Qi thought of what happened to the corpse James in the end, and secretly thanked himself for his quick response.

"I found that the tribal people are collecting a strange herb in the crypt. They say that the place where the local people live will have the power of the fountain of life, and raise some strange herbs, the fountain of life?"

"Later, Old Joel and I returned to the north, and the tribe that helped us was also wiped out. The war is so cruel."

After reading a book, Li Qi closed the book. At first he was only skeptical, but now he is [-]% sure that the female monster in the crypt is the "Landman".
