Lord of Rot

Chapter 313 Lord Iron Valley
Ridge chats with 'Golden Stallion' Pine on horseback.

Radish was arranged by Li Qi to lead Red Qiangwei's horse, and the three of them rode side by side.

"The changes here are really great!" Hong Qiangwei exclaimed.

She still remembers that when she came here more than a year ago, there were only mud puddles here, and the wheels would leave very clear marks.

People were yellow and emaciated, wearing tattered clothes.

Live in a dilapidated mud house.

At that time, Red Rose thought that this place was no different from the ruins.

But not long after, the entire porcupine collar changed drastically.

A wharf was actually built here. Although it was not as large as the huge port of East Harbor City, it did open up trade routes.

Stone houses stood up one after another, and there were strange chimneys that kept smoking.

The ground is also very flat, even flatter than the stone floor of Donggang City!
What happened this year?
She turned to look at Li Qi, looking at his profile.

Hong Qiangwei thought that only she could understand the power of this little baron. He brought all this from scratch.

Those favored by the gods, only those who are favored by the gods can bring about this kind of change.

'Golden Stallion' Pyne nodded, "It's really changed a lot!"

In fact, he doesn't remember anything, and just dealt with it casually. Fortunately, his sister is willing to chat with Li Qi, so that he can put his mind away.

"My luck is better," Li Qi said with a smile.

He can guess why the 'Golden Stallion' came...

The noble youths beside Lacey rode at the end, and they looked at Li Qi with piercing eyes.

Li Qi was younger than any of them.

If he inherited the porcupine collar because his father was a baron, then the other victories, as well as Iron Valley, were all on his own.

If this young and capable lord doesn't go for refuge, is he going to go to the 'Golden Stallion'?

Some people also want to defect to the Duke's heir, but it's a pity that the 'Golden Stallion' Pine doesn't need their allegiance.

After arriving at the castle, it was Li Qi's favorite time to receive gifts.

Not so precious things, but they are also of high value, Li Qi accepted them one by one with a smile.

Inside the castle, Cousin Bird and others also saw Pine and others.

The two sides nodded as a greeting, but they certainly weren't familiar.

Fortunately, the son of the Baron of the Three Forks came, and he brought along Leopold's collateral, Agnes, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Everyone has their own social circle, and they gather in twos and threes to chat.

It was getting dark.

After chatting all afternoon, he found that the noble ladies had already talked to the point that their lips were peeling.

If there is no banquet, the ladies will be hungry first.

A servant came to him and whispered, "My lord, the carriage of the Simon family."

"I'll go right now."

He got up and apologized to Pine and the others: "There are still guests coming, I'm going out to greet them."

Walking to the gate of the castle, a figure got off the carriage.

She was dressed so conservatively that Li Qi almost didn't recognize her.

Bringing it back to the castle, she caught everyone's attention without any surprise.

However, Li Qi also had a few more eyes from women, as if asking, how did you get in touch with her!

Fortunately, Becky Simon didn't want to make trouble either. She sat down quietly and responded to the initiative of the noble youths with a smile.

This scene was well noticed by Li Qi, and he even felt that it would be good for heartthrobs to come, at least it would help him pick out some people with extremely poor self-control and put question marks in advance.

Pine Leopold stood up.

"Sir Rich Clarence" He produced a roll of parchment.

Everyone present probably guessed what was going to happen and fell silent.

Like Miss Hyacinth Lan, she covered her mouth and nose nervously, held her breath, and watched expectantly.

"Yes." Li Qi also stood up.

After walking a few steps, Pine turned around and faced everyone. He unfolded the parchment in his hand and said, "You fought bravely in the Iron Valley and wiped out the bandits. The glory belongs to you."

"On behalf of Duke Leopold, I canonize you as Lord of Iron Valley, Baron of Iron Wall Castle, and continue to serve Leopold."

It's canonized!
Clang!
Li Qi pulled out his long sword, and the long sword smashed on the stone brick, leaving a small dent.

Kneeling on the ground with his sword in his hand, he said in a loud voice: "I swear to the four gods that I will be loyal to Leopold, do my best to protect the safety of the subjects, and use my right to protect the peace of the kingdom.

Pine handed the parchment to Li Qi: "Please get up, Sir Li Qi."

Li Qi took the parchment excitedly, rolling his eyes hastily. Leopold's seal on it meant that Iron Valley belonged to him from today, and it was justified.

Unless someone can directly destroy the entire Lurea Kingdom, he is an absolutely legal and reasonable Lord of Iron Valley.

"Lord of the Iron Valley!" Lacey Sis was excited, and he confirmed once again that his choice was correct.

The same goes for the young nobles who defected, watching this scene excitedly.

The number of knights needed for a territory is limited, but Li Qi has two territories, which is completely different.

To rule the two territories, more subordinates are needed, which also represents more opportunities.

Li Qi could feel how hot the noble youths looked at him.

……

The back chef, who had received Li Qi's order a long time ago, had already put in all his strength to prepare the meals for the birthday party.

With so many people, a multi-tiered cake is a must.

Li Qi can guarantee that the cake in his territory is the best in the entire Lurea continent, not because of its deliciousness, but because Li Qi asked the blacksmiths to weld a 9-layer cake stand. When the cake was pushed up, everyone couldn't help but let out surprise call.

They never thought that the cake could play like this, like a tower.

Li Qi cut the cake with a knife and gave each one a piece.

In his birthday party plan, there was no dance section, not only because he didn't want to turn Porcupine Castle into a battlefield for nobles, but also because the porcupine collar didn't jump.

As for Pelit, the 'son of the bard', who has a lute.

Elegant aristocrats can dance to the sound of the piano, but lutes and loud white voices are absolutely unacceptable.

After the banquet.

Pine Leopold drank too much porcupine wine, and Li Qi ordered his servant to help him back to sleep.

He came here entirely to win people's hearts.

If something really happens in the future, it can be said that Li Qi's status as the lord of Iron Valley was canonized by Pine Leopold. Leech already belongs to the 'Golden Stallion' faction.

Li Qi knew this, but he didn't care at all.

Others also went back to the room to rest one after another, or gathered together to chat.

Li Qi only hoped that no one would be killed.

There are not many entertainment items in Porcupine Collar, and it is impossible for these people to stay. They will leave by boat early tomorrow morning.

After the banquet is the main event.

Li Qi looked at the 12 people in front of him and listened to each of them introduce themselves.

Those who came were all minor nobles, none of whose fathers had titles, they were just the sons of ordinary knights, and they were still the second sons.

Li Qi, who is in urgent need of talents, actually wants to screen out a group first, but the development of Iron Valley is really short of people.

It's missing in every way.

"I can't guarantee that you will be canonized as knights." Li Qi looked at the group of young people who were generally older than him, and said, "You need to fight for the glory yourself, but as you can see tonight, I am the Lord of Iron Valley now."

Speaking of Iron Valley, the noble youths breathed again.

"I will go to Iron Valley in a few days, and you will go to Iron Valley with me, where you will have plenty of opportunities to show your abilities." Li Qi said: "I believe that you can rely on your slaves to gain glory and become knights .”

Clang clang!
The 12 people drew their swords together and half knelt on the ground.

"Willing to serve you allegiance!"

These 12 people swore allegiance to Li Qi, but they were not Paine's vassals, and they were not required to be loyal to him.

Li Qi is obliged to be loyal to Leopold.

Especially this night, this feeling has become even more wonderful.

"Please get up," Li Qi said, "I'll let Lacey tell you what to do in the future, but before that... Lacey, take the gentlemen back to rest, and then let Glenn take the people from the city hall to give them Make a resume."

Lacey nodded: "Yes."
