Lord of Rot

Chapter 31 The Griffin Crisis
To die at a baron's ball would be a joke that would make aristocrats laugh at it, and perhaps slip into the ears of bards.

But the heroic knight must have been an integral part.

When the scholar arrived with staggering steps, Miss Freckles had died.

The one who kicked people madly in public was the iron hoof knight who killed Li Qi's stepmother. Although he knew that the other party had mental problems, Li Qi never thought that he would be so crazy and chose to attack people at the dance.The iron hoof knight's body was dragged out for disposal. Although he died, he would still be buried as a nobleman.

The dinner party had to end here, and everyone was in no mood to eat pie.

Li Qi was finally able to go back to his room to rest, and changed his clothes with the help of the servant.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't stop thinking about the light from the knight beside Xi Duo Hai Hai.

"Ghost? Magic? Admiralty cover? AT position? Armor protection?"

No matter what it was, Li Qi felt that he had opened the door to a new world. If he had that kind of power by his side, no matter how many stepmothers he had, he wouldn't have to be afraid.

He closed his eyes and his consciousness shifted to the ravens at Porcupine Castle.

The moonlight could not obscure his vision.

The porcupine collar, where there was no entertainment, was dark, and even the lights in the castle were extinguished.

It's fine.

In the early morning, I heard that Baron Simon was still furious about what happened last night.

Li Qi purposely inquired about the Iron Oxhoof Knight's situation, and the opponent's body had already been buried in the cemetery in Iron Stone City.

"It was a very strong corpse."

The baron was fascinated by the strong corpse.

And the subordinates brought good news to Li Qi, last night they had a great time at Chunxiao, no, it was the pills they brought yesterday, and they got very good feedback.

Li Qi gave another [-] pieces, mainly for trial use at present, it is better to negotiate business with the brothel owners, rather than selling them as a peddler.

The people under him are not suitable to talk about, and he is also not suitable to come out as a nobleman. He is anxious because he does not have a suitable subordinate.

"Give some to each brothel first, and they will gradually figure out the efficacy of this thing." Li Qi secretly said, it's not his character to wait for a rabbit, but he took the initiative to attack, and he admitted that he has no ability to negotiate.

Fortunately, there are still a few days left, and while the fame of this medicine is fermenting, he can be busy with other things first, such as meeting the scholars in Iron Stone City.

Scholars, dedicated to knowledge.

The people of Lurea believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent, and the church teaches people to respect themselves and cultivate noble sentiments, while scholars are dark and corrupt... These are the labels attached by the church.

In fact, scholars are very knowledgeable. They will use the knowledge in books and the wisdom of predecessors to tell you what to do and what not to do.Instead of using the church's formula: "I had a dream last night, it was God's instruction."

The nobles need the church to unite the hearts of the people and restrain the common people with faith.

Likewise, nobles also need scholars to serve themselves, to record history, cure diseases, and delve into the future.

"They are like magicians" Li Qi thinks so. Although most scholars deny that they know magic, it is tacitly understood that scholars are connected with magic.

The earliest scholars came from an alliance, and then they were scattered all over the world. They would serve the lord, and they would also accept apprentices for knowledge and pass on their knowledge.

After leaving Iron Stone Castle, Li Qi walked along the road and soon saw a tall tower.

That's the Tower of Scholars.

After getting off the horse, he lightly shook the bell at the door, and the door of the scholar tower was pushed open from the inside, and a young man came out, wearing a sackcloth robe, barefoot, holding a book in his hand.

In addition to giving people the image of a wise and wise man, a scholar is like a bookworm most of the time.

"You are Sir Li Qi Clarence?" The young man looked at Li Qi in surprise: "You should, I really, how is this possible? Is it a miracle?"

He was a scholar apprentice who came to treat Li Qi after he was stabbed in the chest by his teacher. He was also the one who sentenced Li Qi to death. Scholars in other people's territories.

"The four gods never show miracles in the world" came from behind the young scholar and apprentice, and the young apprentice immediately stood aside respectfully.

Walking out of the scholar's tower was none other than the old scholar Tawen who was invited to rescue people last night.

"Yes, I can't explain it," the young apprentice stammered, "I saw Sir him, him with my own eyes."

"But there will be god-favored people in the world," Tawin scholar said: "They come with a mission to change the world, and God will not let them die before completing the mission... This is what the church said."

Although he scoffed at the church, he had to agree that it would be more reasonable to explain the situation that some scholars themselves could not explain with the church system.

Scholars do not deny all.

"Everyone comes to this world with their own mission," Li Qi said, "Whether it's a carpenter or a lord, they are an indispensable part of this world. Similarly, the world will not be a big deal without any one person." Change, we are no different from ants to the world. It will still be sunny here in the world after 1000 years. Who will remember us after 1000 years? I am here today to ask you to answer some questions, Tawin scholar. "

Tawin scholars looked at Li Qi with a little surprise: "Your wisdom is higher than most of the nobles I have seen."

"Admitting one's insignificance can avoid being stupid," Li Qi replied with a smile.

"Please come in."

The young apprentice was surprised to see the baron, who was younger than himself, follow his teacher into the tower. It was the first time he had seen the teacher treat a nobleman so kindly, even if he used gold days to support the scholar tower every month. Baron Simon, don't even think about getting a good face from the teacher.

Li Qi was very curious about scholars, not only because he had obtained the inheritance of a necromancer, he suspected that he had the talent to become a magician, but in the chat, the Tawin scholar was unwilling to mention the magic part.

Soon he was talking about the red herb he got in the bear cave.

In his careful description, Tawin scholar found a book.

"There are a lot of red herbs," Tawin scholar said, "but eating them will make the hair turn red and the body become strong. There are only a few kinds, and the only one that will not threaten life is Griffin Grass."

"Griffon grass?"

"The grass that will appear near the griffin's lair may have another name in another corner of the world." Tawin scholar nodded: "You should have heard of the griffin, it is a terrifying beast, the eagle The wings of the lion, the body of the lion. According to the literature, this is because the griffin itself contains a strange power, and its blood will have a strange effect on the surrounding environment."

However, Li Qi remembered being chased by something when the white crow flew over the dense forest, and on the way to Iron Stone City, he encountered a gnawed corpse.

He had a terrible guess in his mind, there was a griffin near the Spine Valley!
And it was a wounded, aggressive griffin.
