Lord of Rot

Chapter 217 Magic Scroll Conception
East Gorge.

Three Forks River Fort.

Lighting up the entire castle, the wealthy Three Forks River Castle never spared beeswax candles, and lighting up the entire castle every day would be a huge expense.

The father and son of the Linsen family were chatting.

"No!" Steven Linsen, the eldest son of the young Linsen family, was emotional: "Father, I want to gallop on the battlefield on a fast horse like the legendary knight, and I want to be like the legendary knight." Like a knight, I meet my lover, so I refuse to marry!"

"That's Leopold." Hawkwood looked at his son calmly.

His words cannot be doubted: "We need to marry Leopold."

"Then sacrifice me? Or do you want to force me to swear a vow to protect a lady I have never met before the four gods?" Steven paced back and forth anxiously, trying to Use your knowledge and eloquence to convince your father.

But his father always had a cold face, making him say a lot of things that were justified and well-founded, but it was useless.

"Miss Agnes is very beautiful," Hawkwood said, "I've met her before. The two of us chatted once, and the chat atmosphere was very good. She will become your wife."

Steven said, "Maybe she doesn't want to marry me."

"Leopold won't," Hawkwood shook his head.

Knowing that he couldn't make sense, Steven turned and left dejectedly.

Hawkwood's voice sounded behind him: "Tomorrow someone will send a portrait of Miss Agnes, maybe you can take a look and decide."

"No!" Steven gritted his teeth: "No matter what she looks like, I will never agree!"

Pushing open the door and leaving, not long after walking, a beautiful girl with a long skirt came in front of her.

"Have you quarreled with your father again?" The girl stopped Steven.

"He wants me to marry Leopold," Steven said, "Jennifer, you know me. I would like to be a horse running on the prairie. I would like to run on the world with iron hooves, but I would never Willing to be put on the reins."

"We are Lin Sen." Jennifer asked softly, "Have you forgotten our family motto?"

Steven said unwillingly: "The fire illuminates the way forward."

"Yes, the firelight illuminates the way forward." Jennifer nodded: "You are destined to become the firelight, the firelight of the Three Forks River Castle in the future."

"But, my sister." Steven sighed, "Our family crest is a torch."

Before lighting the way forward, you must first ignite yourself.

"By the way!" Steven was shocked, and he whispered: "Jennifer, you look very similar to your mother, and your father has always loved you the most. Why don't you go to your father to discuss it?"

"Ah I?"

"Yes, if you said it, my father might agree."

"This..." Jennifer hesitated. It was never her turn to intervene in family matters, but seeing her elder brother begging herself so much, she nodded: "But I can't guarantee it."

"You will definitely succeed!" Steven pushed Jennifer, trotted, and sent her to the door.

He reached out and knocked on the door, then left quickly.

"Come in." Hawkwood's voice came from inside the door.

Jennifer entered the door: "Father."

Hawkwood, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the person coming, in a trance, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Jennifer, you are here because of Steven."

"Yes."

Jennifer walked up to her father and rubbed his shoulders.

"The current situation is turbulent," Hawkwood said: "Do you know why Leopold wants to marry us? It's a statement. If we don't agree, the army of the Golden Rabbit family will come to Fort Three Forks tomorrow. Our position It's too special for Leopold to neutralize us."

Her father had never said this to herself before, and Jennifer didn't know how to respond.

"So you need Steven and Miss Leopold to marry?"

"Yes." Hawkwood nodded, "This Three-Forked River makes us rich, but it also puts us in danger. Whoever can control this place will have an absolute land advantage."

Jennifer didn't understand, under the rule of the powerful Duke Leopold, who would dare to rebel in the East Gorge.

"It seems that you don't understand." Hawkwood turned his head to look at his daughter. He was in a trance again, as if he saw his dead wife, and struggle flashed in his eyes. It took him a long time to regain his senses and said, "Leopold Duke, the old injury has recurred, according to what I know, His Excellency the Duke is already unable to get out of bed."

"What!" Jennifer paused as she pinched her shoulders.

The Duke of Dongxia was paralyzed on the bed due to a serious illness. For ordinary little nobles, it was tantamount to the sky falling.

"He needs the Three Forks." Hawkwood sighed.

"We must also give him the Three-Forked River. Don't worry, I know Steven's character," Hawkwood said. "After seeing the portrait, he will definitely fall in love with Miss Agnes."

Jennifer nodded, still recovering from the shock.

……

Li Qi's face was serious.

Don't look at the speed of news transmission in this era is very slow, but what happens among the nobles can definitely spread in every corner of the mainland overnight.

"Drue Leopold was paralyzed in bed."

It happened suddenly.

Li Qi suddenly remembered his cheap father Li De, who also suddenly became seriously ill and died.

"It should be that there is a hidden disease in the body, which has been backlogged all the time, but this outbreak of the disease directly made people paralyzed on the hospital bed."

As the pillar of the entire East Gorge, Duke Leopold was seriously ill and paralyzed in bed, which is definitely not good news.

Being paralyzed in bed will not affect the lifespan. It is possible for Duke Leopold to live for more than ten or twenty years, but the ruling power of the paralyzed Duke will be much weaker.

The healthy and powerful Leopold is awe-inspiring, and Duke Leopold, who is tortured by illness, will only become meat in the eyes of vultures.

"I just want to farm quietly."

Li Qi could probably guess that some nobles who had long been dissatisfied with Leopold would come forward to make trouble and provoke disputes.

For that part, the best outcome would be for Drew Leopold to die and his son, Pine Leopold, to become Duke of Eastgorge.

Li Qi also met Pine before, the standard incompetent second generation, besides business, he can eat, drink and have fun.

Even as a future emperor, even the porcupine collar didn't bother to come a second time.

With such a new lord, it would be strange for other nobles to be honest.

"The fight shouldn't start so soon. If it really wants to start, I can also apply to go to Iron Valley first." Li Qi thought in his heart: "The porcupine leader has a weak family, so I definitely can't fight with them."

Unexpectedly, the seemingly chaotic giant feet were unified by a prince who suddenly appeared. Instead, Dongxia, which has always been known for its peace and stability, is about to fall into turmoil.

When Li Qi saw Denis and Claude, the smiles on their faces also decreased a lot.

They are the most directly affected, and the most affected by the war are businessmen. As for whether it is good or bad, it is not yet possible to judge.

Claude said: "My lord, we come to say goodbye."

"Be careful on the road," Li Qi said.

The convoy leaves.

Life in the porcupine collar will not change much either.

However, Li Qi dispatched some people at the first time. The alchemy workshop must be built as soon as possible. Even for Iron Valley's oil, muskets, alchemy bombs and other technologies must be matured as soon as possible, and guaranteed to be used on the battlefield.

Then Li Qi found the waste scholar Thomas.

When he found Thomas, Thomas was staring at a pile of papers.

He turned his head after hearing the voice, and asked impatiently, "My lord, what is this?"

"Paper, didn't the person who gave you the paper tell you?"

"Of course you told me," Thomas Scholar said, "but, can you make this paper, mass-produced?"

"That's right, the craftsmanship is not very cumbersome." Li Qi nodded with a smile: "I call this kind of technique papermaking."

"Papermaking!" Scholar Thomas was shocked.

"What a great invention!"

Thomas scholar said: "This kind of paper is more convenient for me to record the magic circle. It is much easier to use than parchment."

"You want to record the magic circle on paper?" Li Qi asked, "Could it be that you can record the magic on it, tear off the paper, and use it directly?"

Isn't this the magic scroll?
"Hiss!" Scholar Toma exclaimed, "My lord, you are truly a genius. Although I don't believe in the Four Gods, I am willing to believe that you possess god-like wisdom."

He muttered to himself: "Record magic on paper, and then release it through paper, why didn't I think of it before?"

"If you want to study similar magic, I have something I can lend you." Li Qi remembered his [Spell-casting Crystal] strange object, in which the magic was recorded and could be stored and released.

After research, maybe a magic scroll can really be made.
