Lord of Rot

Chapter 273 The Cannon Is Coming
Deni's work was very efficient. When Li Qi and Hawkwood were invited to dinner at Deni's home that night, his little apprentice brought back news.

A total of 2000 pounds of corn, four pounds per copper star, cheaper than the two pounds per copper star that Li Qi said before.

The corn will be loaded onto the Iron Valley tomorrow morning.

During the dinner, Hawkwood held a wine glass in his hand, and praised Li Qi's wonderful performance in the knight's tournament today.

Especially when he heard that young knights with certain reputations were defeated by his horse, Denis was stunned to see that wonderful battle before.

Li Qi smiled and listened to Hawkwood's story. He was also curious about what it would be like for a superhuman to fight in the eyes of ordinary people.

Probably because of the difference in life level. In Hawkwood's words, Li Qi always decides the winner in an instant.

Early the next morning.

The corn was loaded onto the boat, and Li Qi and Hawkwood stood on the deck, waving their hands to see Dennis off.

departure...

Life at sea is rather boring, with the same scenery every day, and Lang's sailing skills are similar to those of Old Peary, sailing along the coast.

Fortunately, there are not too many pirates in the Dongxia area, and the road is calm.

The advantage of sailing along the coast is probably that you can see Porcupine Fort from a long distance, so as not to lose your direction.

With Li Qi on board, this kind of situation is even more unlikely to happen. After the range of spiritual power touched the porcupine collar, Li Qi got in touch with the water fairy.

She's back, which means Trevor, the four-handed mercenary who left for High Magic Island, is back too.

At last, after entering Pigtail Bay, they saw the Porcupine.

The construction of the pier has not yet been completed, and it can only be returned to the shore by boat.

From afar, I saw a group of soldiers lined up, raising their muskets.

As soon as Li Qi came ashore with his muskets on his shoulders, Kuai Ren, who came with a fully armed team, shouted: "All put down the muskets!"

The muskets were put away.

Quickblade asked, "My lord! How did you come back from the sea?"

"I bought a boat by the way when I went to Donggang City." Li Qi pointed behind him.

After Quick Blade saw Hawkwood, he greeted him again.

What happened today made Li Qi understand a little bit that the establishment of the watchtower must be done quickly. After all, the porcupine owns the pier, and there is an extra entrance for the enemy.

The matter on the ship, as well as the arrangement of Lang and others, can be directly handed over to Glenn, and Glenn will instruct the clever apprentices of the city hall to do it. The operation that Li Qi expected has begun to take shape.

He secretly said: "Like a telescope, it is best to find someone to study and make a copy, otherwise it will be difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and there will always be trouble."

It was getting late, and it was obviously inconvenient to travel, so Hawkwood stayed in Porcupine Castle.

Don't look at taking a detour by boat like this, and walking and resting, it actually saves a lot of time than going directly from Donggang City to Sanchahebao, and it's better to rest on the road.

The dinner was charred grilled fish, lemon cake, deep-fried pork ribs, stewed meat and a delicious thick soup sprinkled with sea intestine powder.

It can be said that the dishes of Donggang City do not meet Li Qi's appetite at all.

Too much oil.

It may be because of the winter, or it may be because of the taste. They all like the greasy feeling of oily flowers in their mouths after taking a bite of meat.

Li Qi thought he was good at eating fat, but he couldn't accept that feeling at all.

Really delicious fatty meat should be steamed, fried, or stewed, fat but not greasy, otherwise it will make people feel disgusting.

It seems that the dishes at the dinner party are single, but the portions are huge, and Li Qi can put aside the problem of inappropriate taste and eat with a full stomach.

"Boom!" Hawkwood lay on the table.

Li Qi looked at Kuai Ren who was laughing loudly, and sighed helplessly.

He can understand the happiness of Quick Blade, not to be proud of drinking down to the guests, but to be able to drink with an open stomach after the guests come, and will not be restricted by Li Qi.

"Let's drink here today." Li Qi said.

Quickblade hiccups: "It's hiccup, my lord!"

"Come here, send Lord Hawkwood to the room, and..." he said to the two male servants who ran over: "Get ready the water and the bucket, and take good care of the Lord."

"Yes!" The two male servants nodded, struggling to pick up Hawkwood who was drunk like a dead pig.

It wasn't too long since Li Qi left this time, and nothing major happened in the porcupine collar, but Li Qi still told Gu Lan and others that slaves might come after a while.

And told the drunken Quick Blade to train well for the next period of time, and they will soon have a battle to fight.

Anyway, he was picking peaches, so Li Qi was not in a hurry to go to Tiegu.

Based on the time, Baron Ross of the Iron Collar should not have returned to his territory. When he finishes reorganizing his army and heading to Iron Valley, it will probably be mid-February, and the real fight will probably take until March. As for when the fight will end, I don’t know. But he will write to Mrs. Jielin and ask her to keep an eye on the news.

Li Qi just wanted to wait until the last moment to make his debut, and brazenly entered Iron Wall Castle, declaring himself the baron of the new territory.

Had a good night's sleep in bed.

The next day, after Li Qi washed up, he called Trevor, the mercenary, before he had breakfast.

The four arms shake as they walk.

Trevor bent down: "My lord! That island has been cleaned up!"

"Good job." Li Qi nodded, "How big is the island?"

"About 5000 mu"

"so small?"

As an analogy, Porcupine Castle covers an area of ​​about 500 mu, which is of average level. In Red Rose's view, it is a small and broken castle. The neighbor's Ironstone Fort is bigger than Porcupine Fort.

The land is not big, and there is even less space to be used, but it is a high-magic land after all, as long as the things planted are of high quality, it is still very valuable.

But large-scale reclamation, such as experimentally planting magic wheat with special effects, is unlikely.

"A giant crab nest was found on the island," Trevor said. "Those giant crabs are hiding under the reef. It is difficult for me to catch them. I am not their opponent when I go into the water."

"Where are the moths?"

"The previous burrow should be the moth's nest."

"besides?"

"Gone."

"Okay." Li Qi nodded: "You go down first."

He not only wants to deal with cancer, but also wants to raise cancer in captivity.

"Maybe the water fairy can help me with this."

In the battle in the water, let the water fairy do it, there should be no problem.

Hawkwood, who was dizzy, didn't get up until the sun was three poles.

"Good day, Master Li Qi."

"Good day, Master Hawkwood." Li Qi smiled and said, "It seems that you are not suitable for traveling today."

Hawkwood smiled wryly: "Sir Quickblade is too good to drink."

One cup after another of persuading him to drink, he didn't give himself a chance to refuse at all. If he was in other places, Hawkwood would really not talk to Quick Blade.

But here's the porcupine collar, and he's the guest.

As a guest, there are also rules for guests, and the nobles are also proud of being able to drink, but they didn't expect to faint and lose consciousness after being drunk directly by the other party.

"Let's eat something." Li Qi said, "We can start tomorrow."

Hawkwood nodded, that's all he could do.

When Hawkwood went back to bed and lay down to rest, Li Qi began to patrol as usual.

Check out Rockets, Lust the Cats, Textile Mills, Winery, Blacksmith Factory, Soap, Carpenter's Workshop, Betty's Alchemy Workshop, etc. He has a lot to do.

When Li Qi rushed to Betty's alchemy workshop, he found that Hammer was blacksmithing in an apron.

"Hammer, what is this?" Li Qi asked.

"Lord Betty said, it seems to be called... the gun barrel?" The hammer in Hammer Na's hand was red, which added her extraordinary power.

"She said it had to be strong enough. I've been hammering it for a long time."

"Barrel?" Li Qi was surprised. He just talked to Betty, but he didn't expect it to happen soon?
