Lord of Rot

Chapter 213 Deni's Thank You Gift

The Porcupine Collar matchup is over.

Not surprisingly, a newly promoted commoner like the little gazelle, who has no special status and is not a craftsman, can't buy the red brick houses that are already scarce and sought after.

But seeing the two men showing off their might, she felt very angry.

She'd better go back to the vegetable market and get busy. If she didn't buy a house, life would have to go on.

"Little gazelle?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, the little gazelle turned around, only to see the chief steward of the porcupine collar standing there.

"Master Gelen!" She was a little nervous, subconsciously grabbing the corner of her clothes and rubbing them.

Could it be because of the incident of jumping in line before?At that time, the lord did not look happy.

"My lord admires you very much." Gren's words directly made the little gazelle's eyes widen: "I wonder if you are interested in becoming an honorary knight of the porcupine collar?"

……

some time ago.

Seeing that Claude and Denis were on their way, Li Qi didn't drag them to chat. After letting Denis and Claude taste the ice cream, he let them go back to rest first.

Soon, the members of the security team entered the castle.

Glenn, who had heard what had happened, also handed over the remaining odd jobs to the apprentices, and followed closely into the castle.

The member of the security team lowered his head nervously, and honestly told what happened. He and the two parties are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to lie for them.

"Okay, I see." Li Qi waved his hand: "Go back first."

"Yes!"

After confirming that he was fine, the members of the security team breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left quickly.

Gren passed by the security team member, and when he saw Li Qi, he opened his mouth: "My lord..."

"It's just a small matter, don't worry too much," Li Qi said.

Problems can be big or small.

Queue jumping is just a matter of morality. There is nothing in the law saying that jumping in line is not allowed, so it's not a big deal, it's just a quarrel.

It's okay to say big, one moment Li Qi was happily praising his own people with two businessmen, but the next moment he was slapped in the face and replaced by other lords. It is estimated that the rope has been arranged.

Grant asked, "Are you worried that the two merchants will have a bad impression of the porcupine collar?"

"The porcupine collar is here." Li Qi shook his head: "No matter how much we say, it is not as good as what they see and feel with their own eyes. If we can change other people's impressions with our words, why should we work hard to build it? Let the whole territory People around here are all following Pelit as bards, singing is better than talking, maybe they can sing Porcupine Collar as the richest and most powerful place in the world."

Although the tone was joking, Grant always felt that Li Qi was not in a good mood.

"What are you worried about?"

Grant and Li Qi have been in contact for a long time, and know that the Lord Lord's thinking is very out of the ordinary.

It seems that in the eyes of the lord, the world is full of all kinds of backward thinking and mistakes, and one thing shocked Gülen, he thought that the lord might not care about class deep down in his heart.

Even though the lord enjoys his rights very much, when he does things, he cares about some things that ordinary people take for granted.

"Repel" Li Qi said.

"Repulsion?" Grant wondered.

"The commoners of Porcupine Collar consider themselves natives of Porcupine Collar. They are loyal, but they are very exclusive." Li Qi said, "Cutting in line is just a small incident, but what they say comes from the heart."

The little gazelle is already a legal civilian of Porcupine Collar, but his status as a slave cannot be washed away, and he will be rejected if he is not a local.

At present, most of the apprenticeships are performed by the natives of the Porcupine Territory, which further confirms this point.

Grant immediately said, "I will punish those who jump in line."

"En." Li Qi nodded: "It's normal to find someone to do ideological education, criticize and criticize, and do such things without education."

Aside from the fact that Li Qi was slapped in the face, they didn't have any big problems. They were far from murdering and arson, stealing chickens and dogs, and they were simply uneducated.

If you are uneducated, then educate them more, and there is no other way.

Grant nodded, but he was sighing in his heart, for ideological education?This job will definitely fall on his head again.

Let the quick blade come?With Quick Blade's violent temper, if he knew that they made the lord unhappy, he would kill them directly.

"That's right." Li Qi suddenly had a thought, and said, "We can make an advanced pacesetter."

"Advanced pacesetter?"

The natives of the porcupine collar are repelled by the non-porcupine territory, and outsiders can't find a sense of identity in the porcupine collar.

Then set an example.

In fact, when it comes to role models, the most suitable role model is Luobo. He was born as a slave, but in the eyes of many people, Luobo is just lucky.

So the example must be set again.

"Advanced pacesetter doesn't sound good." Li Qi thought about it and said, "Change it to an honorary knight."

Grant was surprised: "You want to be a knight?"

"No, it's not a canonized knight." Li Qi shook his head and explained: "It's just a title. Everyone can be an honorary knight. Set some moral standards and codes of conduct, add unity and friendship, strive for self-improvement, and then every month in the territory Select an honorary knight and award the honorary knight medal."

If the people in the porcupine collar don't know what to do, they add something to it, set an example, and tell them that as long as they follow suit, they will also have the opportunity to become honorary knights in the future.

Although the moral character and xenophobic psychology cannot be corrected immediately, it can be reduced to a certain extent.

Especially for young children, doing some things will form a habit.

Of course, there is an easier way.

religion!

The reason why there are so many troubles and trifles in the porcupine collar is because there are no four-god sects and no priests.

Lurea is supreme.

But Li Qi instinctively rejects religion, and the influence of his previous life also made him reject the religious emotion channeling, but he has to admit that if there is a religious church in Porcupine Territory, not only will the entire Porcupine Territory residents not be xenophobic, On the contrary, it will be very peaceful, people are kind and friendly, and everyone helps each other.

This is the strange ability of religion, something that he, as a lord, cannot do.

Li Qi Clarence is also a believer in the Church of the Four Gods, which is the mainstream belief in Lurea. Think about it.

Grant understood what Li Qi meant.

It's not a title, it's just an honorary title, which is fine.

For ordinary people, being able to obtain the title of knight is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

"Also, if you become an honorary knight, if you make a mistake in the future, you can take back the honorary title."

Li Qi said one by one: "Whether you are a foreigner or a local, you have the opportunity to become an honorary knight, but the first honorary knight must be a person who is not a porcupine collar."

Nothing is easier to make people feel a sense of belonging than the lord himself admitting it.

Awarding the title of Honorary Knight means that everyone is one of his own in the eyes of the lord.

You are from Maitian Village, is it amazing?See if the lord recognizes your "noble" status.

"Go and investigate that little gazelle. She used to be a slave, right? The status is very suitable." Li Qi said, "As long as there are no other problems with her body, she can be the first honorary knight."

……

"Me? Honorary knight?" The little gazelle's voice rose sharply.

Everyone in the vegetable market looked at her.

Grant smiled and nodded: "Joe also told me about you, saying that you are very business-minded, and adults also appreciate your spirit of never being humble or humble."

The little gazelle quickly said, "I am willing!"

"Don't worry." Grant raised his hand and said, "You still don't know what an honorary knight is."

After he told the story, the little gazelle understood the concept of an honorary knight. Although it was not a real noble class, it was just a title, but at least in terms of morality, she was recognized by the lord.

The matter of the honorary knight was left aside by Li Qi. After an action was executed, as the lord, he didn't need to follow it all the way, he only needed to know the result.

Otherwise, he would be the father of more than 2000 people.

evening.

Li Qi was hugging the black cat Qingtian, stroking it if he had something to do.

Every once in a while, he would let the animal whisperer Pitts bathe Qingtian. The language can communicate. Although Qingtian is very reluctant, at least he no longer struggles, and the whole bathing process becomes very smooth.

As long as you take a bath, you can eat small dried fish, bear it!
On the table is the cavalry training manual he perfected in the afternoon. Combining the experience of the three parties, he has combat experience on horseback across the East Gorge, Giant's Foot and the desert. The cavalry trained in this way are not elite soldiers, but It can also be regarded as drawing on the strengths of hundreds of schools.

"Your Excellency" the servant came hurriedly: "Mr. Denis please see me."

"Deni? Let him come in." Li Qi casually handed Qingtian to the servant.

"Yes!"

Denis, who was already waiting outside the castle, walked quickly.

"Good night, my lord."

"Ye An." Li Qi sat on the chair, without any intention of moving his buttocks: "If Claude knows that you secretly came to me behind his back, he will be very angry."

This is a bit ambiguous.

But probably the meaning is right.

A smile appeared on Deni's face, as if he had seen Claude's exasperation, his body puffed up like an inflatable fish: "I think he shouldn't hear what I'm going to talk to you next...so let him Never know."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Thank you for giving me." Deni bowed, then stood up straight and said: "It is because of your help that I successfully opened the market in Burning City. The open market is like a girl's open legs, and all this is thanks to you."

The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched: "What do you mean, did you come here specially to thank me for breaking the girl's leg?"

"Of course not." Denis sneered. He also felt that the joke he made just now seemed inappropriate, but seeing that the lord did not blame him, he knew that the topic was not considered rigid.

Li Qi asked again: "So you brought Jinri?"

At present, the most suitable gift for him is to give money.

"No, of course not." Dennis shook his head: "I will buy goods from you for the golden days I brought, I think just buying your high-priced honey, porcupine wine, and soap will cost me all my money .”

"You piqued my curiosity."

Of course, Li Qi knew that it was impossible for Deni to come and give money. No matter how nice the businessman said, it was impossible for him to send money for free.

Deni lowered his voice mysteriously: "It's a fire oil mine!"

"What!" Li Qi was surprised.

Kerosene, that is, oil.

black gold.

Of course, the use of kerosene in Lurea is very backward now, and it is also used in the military to make kerosene pots for throwing, or use it on catapults to make incendiary bombs to attack the city.

and lit lighting.

But as long as it can be used in the military, its value will continue to rise.

Li Qi can see more possibilities about oil. Although technological means cannot reproduce it, it might be possible to use magic.

"On the way back to East Gorge from Burning City," Deni said, "I took a part of the caravan on land, and when I passed Iron Valley, I discovered the Fire Oil Mine."

"Deni, don't you know that Iron Valley already has his lord?" Li Qi shook his head: "Don't say that there are fire oil mines, even if there are gold mines, I have nothing to do. I can't invade other lords for no reason. territory."

"No, my lord." Deni shook his head and said, "Of course you have a solution. As far as I know, the lord of Iron Valley is very mentally abnormal. He calls himself the Black King and even wants to overthrow our king's rule... and the whole Iron Valley has no The king will definitely not sit idly by when someone discovers that fire oil mine, so, as long as you become the lord of Iron Valley, you will be able to obtain a fire oil mine."

Li Qi also knew that it was not difficult.

First of all, no one knows the existence of Huoyou Mine. In the eyes of others, Iron Valley is just a corner place. The whole territory is not suitable for growing food, and there are no scarce mineral resources. There is money in it.

Secondly, as soon as a battle breaks out and Li Qi volunteers to capture Tiegu, no matter whether it is the king or Leopold, I believe they will directly reward Tiegu to him.

In other places, perhaps the great nobles would be reluctant and want to take it for themselves, but in Tiegu... no one snatches it.

Maybe the big nobles will feel that Li Qi has suffered a disadvantage and compensate him a little bit more.

The premise is that Li Qi can capture Tiegu... Coincidentally, Li Qi is very confident now.

Deni saw that Li Qi was thinking, and he knew that he already had a general idea in his mind.

"I have received your thank you gift." Li Qi said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

He was not afraid that Deni would deceive himself with this matter. If Tiegu really did not have fire oil mines, Deni would have to face his own fate.

If Deni finds multiple nobles with this news and intends to take advantage of it, Li Qi is not a fool. He only needs to wait for the battle of Iron Valley to see who will fight, and then he will know who Deni has told this news to. .

"No, I am very grateful." Deni smiled: "My lord, I hope that when you get the fire oil mine and prepare to sell it, you can give me priority. You know, fire oil is very popular in the northern border. Those long-haired The barbarian can't wait to soak himself in the brazier."

"Of course!"

Li Qi nodded: "Of course I will consider you first, my friend."

The two smiled at each other.

That night, Li Qi restrained himself from staying up all night, and the command to write the dead body operation has been preliminarily completed, and it can be considered for use in the future.

The next day, after a full sleep, Li Qi left the castle after eating something.

He also has business talks with two businessmen today.

When the two first arrived, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight. Li Qi was worried that if he was not there and no one could hold them back, the two of them would definitely fight each other.

When Li Qi arrived, Claude looked at him with a resentful tone, his tone sour: "Master, you two met behind my back last night."

"Hehe, that..." Li Qi coughed dryly, "Claude, you have to trust me."

Why does it sound like a scumbag's quotations?
