Lord of Rot

Chapter 305 Returning to the Porcupine Collar
A gust of wind blows.

On the Iron Wall Fort, the flag was blown and fluttered.

The porcupine sewn on the flag seemed to come alive, shaking and running with the wind.

Li Qi glanced back on his horse, followed by a group of soldiers and a convoy.

He had to go back to Porcupine to pick it up. After all, he had been away for more than a month, and he still had some resources to exchange.

Today's Iron Wall Fort is barely on the right track, and construction is the main work, so there won't be any major problems in a short period of time.

"It is imminent to open up the connection between the cliff coast and the Iron Wall Fort. If it is impossible, I can only ask Betty to prepare more explosives."

It is better to blow up a road than to have no road.

It took less than a few days to get from Porcupine to Iron Valley by boat, but it took ten and a half months or more than 20 days to take a detour by land. Baron Li Qi could not afford to delay this time.

Some valuable things, such as herbs from Beech Village, mushrooms from Lilac Village, and fire oil from Hazelnut Village, were also taken back by him.

Leaving Iron Valley, take the ferry from Shuijiandi to the north.

The road was quiet and nothing strange happened.

Just arrived at the pier, looking at the Longship Fort in the distance.

"My lord, someone wants to see you." Carrot's voice came from the side, and Li Qi turned his head to look over.

The person who came was wearing a cloak and looked like a woman.

It wasn't until the other party lifted the cloak covering his head that Li Qi recognized: "Miss Yilin?"

"Good day, my lord." Irene bent down and said, "I brought you a letter from my wife."

The carrot on the side jumped off the horse with great eyesight, trotted over to pick up the letter, and delivered it to Li Qi.

Li Qi opened the rolled up letter.

There was only one line on it: "See you in a month."

According to Li Qi's calculations, Mrs. Jielin will give birth about a month later.

He had already arrived at Longship Fort, but the other party stopped him.

"I see." Li Qi nodded, and asked Erin, "Has the monkey family come to Longboat Fort?"

"Yes" Erin nodded.

Because of the distance, Li Qi lost contact with the two ghouls in Longship Fort, and he didn't know what happened.

His consciousness quickly connected to Guy, and he quickly knew the ins and outs through the other party.

La Bill came to Longship Fort, claiming that he would help Guy take the position of Baron Longship Fort, but Guy needed to take the entire Longship Fort to stand in line and consolidate his rights.

"I always feel that something is wrong," Li Qi secretly said.

Ra was originally the heir of the monkey family, as long as he survived, no one could replace him as the monkey-collar baron.

But in any case, Longship Fort himself definitely couldn't go.

Li Qi said to Erin: "Tell Madam Jielin, I will definitely be there."

"Yes!" Erin nodded.

The team disembarked and continued toward Porcupine Collar.

Erin put on a cloak, watched Li Qi's team go further and further, and then turned back to Longship Castle...

It took several days to march all the way in a hurry, and finally returned to the porcupine collar.

The porcupine flag brought cheers.

Riding on the horse, Li Qi looked at the residents on the side of the road, feeling very comfortable.

The porcupine collar was his starting point, his home.

There is a sense of familiarity and relaxation only when you come back here.

Even if there was no report from Glenn and others, Li Qi looked at the vast fields and more and more houses, and knew that the porcupine collar had not stopped developing during the more than a month since he left.

to the castle.

The soldiers were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and rest.

All the high-level managers of Porcupine Collar greeted them at the door, and the maids and male servants lined up in the distance.

"My lord!" Grant said, "You must have won a battle!"

"I only win battles," Li Qi responded with a smile.

The motorcade that Li Qi brought back stopped in the spacious yard of Porcupine Castle. After dismounting, he did not relax and greeted the servants: "Those mushrooms and herbs, send them to Vic. I miss him." Something new needs to be researched."

Herb apprentices are experts in this area.

"Those barrels of kerosene... wait a while, come with me to the alchemy workshop."

"My lord..." Grant took a step forward.

Li Qi said to Grant, "Glen, I know you must have a lot of things to report, but I just want to take a shower right now."

Grant nodded helplessly: "Of course, my lord."

Fat steward Hayao's style of doing things is omnipotent, even a bit despicable. He never seeks to be the best, but only wants to be able to fulfill Li Qi's orders, but he does things quickly and does not need Li Qi to worry about.Gu Lan is completely on the contrary. He does things very carefully, but his efficiency is much slower. He has to ask Li Qi for instructions on many things. Li Qi really hopes that the strengths of the two can be combined.

After taking a bath, the body relaxes.

Li Qi sat in the meeting hall refreshed, and there were quite a few people who had to report today.

Grant said, "The watchtower will be built in the next few days, my lord."

"So fast?" Li Qi didn't expect it.

"The mason construction team is getting more proficient," Grant said, "and a few craftsmen have invented gadgets to speed up the work."

For the next period of time, Gulen was almost always reporting what happened in just over a month.

New houses are being built, and a large dormitory for 4000 people will definitely be built by the end of April.

Don't even think about living in such a refined way. If everyone has a new house, the entire Porcupine Collar will not be able to build such a house in a short period of time if they don't do anything.

"The potatoes you requested have been planted"

Li Qi nodded: "When the new batch of slaves arrives, we must ensure that there is sufficient food."

As long as he can fill his stomach, Li Qi is not a rigid nobleman.

"There is still corn." Li Qi said, "The batch of corn I harvested before is almost time to plant it now."

"Already preparing to plow, my lord."

"Well, very good." Li Qi nodded.

When potatoes, corn, and winter wheat are mature, the porcupine collar will not be caught in a big food crisis.

Corn is also the king of feed, and the scale of the porcupine collar's livestock can also be expanded accordingly.

All is well.

"And my lord, two huge moths emerged from the chrysalis you left earlier."

Li Qi leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Moth, didn't anything serious happen?"

"No." Grant shook his head: "Trevor killed them before the accident, and no one was injured, but before that they laid fist-sized eggs, three hundred."

Three hundred eggs means that there will be three hundred giant silkworms in the future.

"Go to the depths of the dense forest," Li Qi said: "Build a silkworm farming village inside, find some strong people to go in and raise them, and separate them from weaving."

He doesn't have so many supernatural beings guarding him. Only by keeping the silkworm away from the crowd can major problems be avoided.

"Yes!"

After Gulen's report was over, Joe, the lucky boy, was in charge of business issues.

"My lord, there were no caravans from Donggang City last month, but there are a group of merchants who are more talented in arithmetic. I am planning to support them in business."

Commercial shipping is not so frequent, and there is only a small pier in Pigtail Bay.

Li Qi said: "It is right to support businessmen, and I trust you in this respect."

There are also some small business details, basically what Joe is saying, and Li Qilai nods at the end.

Sir, just nod your head.

After resting all morning, Li Qi went to find Betty first after having a simple lunch.

Tell about the explosion effect, including Li Qi's conjecture, and help Betty to perfect the subsequent development of the alchemy bomb.

Li Qi confirmed one thing through the last explosion, large-yield weapons must exist!

The power of firearms is very limited, especially when facing extraordinary enemies.

But powerful weapons are different. After killing a transcendent last time, Li Qi has a deeper understanding of "all beings are equal".
