Lord of Rot

Chapter 331

A group of people sang together. It was unknown who beat the drum first, and then someone clapped their hands to the rhythm. The sound spread far away, making Li Qidu stop curiously.

"I wobbled to the music."

The one who sang was a bearded man.

"I put my hands on her feet and she said to me: Young man, you are too low."

The people on the side seem to have heard this song, and they sang along: "Shake it."

The bearded singing continued: "I put my hand on her knee and she said to me: Young man, you can be free."

Everyone: "shake it"

"I put my arm around her waist, and she said to me: Young man, you are too anxious""

Everyone: "shake it"

"I put my hand on her leg and she said to me: you are doing well"

Everyone: "shake it"

"I put my hand on her hip and she said to me: let's go and lie on the lawn"

Everyone together: "Haha, let's shake together."

Amidst the lively singing, Tiegu's first bonfire party declared a successful conclusion.

……

The eagle's long howl pierced the sea surface, and flew close to the water surface for a long distance, and the water waves rolled over.

A fish jumped out of the sea.

Rocket suddenly lowered his altitude and opened his mouth to catch the fish.

With the head thrown upwards, the fish somersaulted in the air before being swallowed by the rocket's open beak.

"Cuckoo"

Since coming out with Li Qi, Rocket's personality has become more and more cheerful.

The total time spent from Iron Valley to Porcupine Collar is less than an hour.

When Li Qi was flying, he hugged Rocket's neck tightly with both hands, otherwise he might be blown away by the violent wind hammer.

And only an extraordinary person like him whose body is strengthened with flesh and blood can withstand such ultra-high-speed movement.

"Wow—"

The rocket raised its head and roared as it reached the sky above the porcupine collar.

The working porcupine leaders all looked up when they heard the sound. They all knew that when they heard the sound, it meant that the lord had returned.

The rocket landed in the clearing at Porcupine Fort.

A servant trotted over and brought a prepared wet towel to Li Qi.

"Thank you"

Li Qi took the wet towel and simply wiped his face.

The dusty atmosphere suddenly weakened a lot.

"What happened recently?" He asked casually as he walked into the castle.

Certainly nothing major will happen, Raven will always tell him the news as soon as possible.

The servant knew that what the lord was asking was definitely not about the development of the territory, and he couldn't comment on it in his capacity. He turned his mind quickly and understood what the lord meant, and then said: "Yes, my lord, the chefs and the blacksmith will study together. Out of the plaid machine you said."

Li Qi frowned slightly.

Plaid machine, also known as waffle machine.

Li Qi doesn't particularly like this kind of food, but the appearance of the plaid cake machine means that newer styles of ice cream can be made. Li Qi has always maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for perfecting food.

It’s the end of May and summer is approaching, what could be a more perfect afternoon than holding an ice cream cone?
"I'm always amazed by what they create," said Li Qi.

He only talked about the cones, but he didn't talk about the machine for making plaid cakes. The fact that the chefs can make this kind of thing shows that they have really worked hard.

This month's Silver Moon reward, it seems that someone has already chosen.

Li Qi said to the servant: "Have someone fetch some rabbits, fish, and chickens and feed them to Rocket."

"Yes, my lord." The manservant nodded and left quickly. He knew that the work of feeding the rockets was also very important.

After entering the castle, he saw Qingtian, a black cat with shiny skin, within a few steps.

"Meow~" It ran over obediently and jumped into Li Qi's arms.

Li Qi stroked the cat casually.

After learning that Li Qi had returned, all the servants in the castle moved into action, like a sophisticated machine started to run rapidly.

Li Qi sat in the office and looked at the brass dragon on the table.

During his absence, the brass dragon seemed to have really become a small ornament.

"Meow!"

Qing Tian stuck out his claws and slapped the brass dragon on the table.

"Ah, I won't pretend, don't move, don't move!"

The brass dragon yelled and flew up, but it didn't know it at all. It flew up in front of a cat like a cat teaser, completely attracting Qingtian's attention. If it wasn't held in Li Qi's arms, it would Already jumped up and swooped on the brass dragon.

"Okay." Li Qi held down Qingtian to keep him from moving.

"Huh, I'm saved." The brass dragon twisted its body.

It looked at Li Qi: "How long have you been back this time?"

"It's going to stay for a while, and I won't leave for a while."

The development of Iron Valley has assigned special personnel to be responsible.

On the contrary, it is the porcupine collar, the talent is not enough, Li Qi needs to come back to help check.

Of course, he himself admits that he just wants to enjoy the noble life, and the life in Iron Wall Castle is still a bit difficult.

"Knock knock" knock on the door sounded.

"please come in"

"My lord, this is my latest research."

The oak basin came to Li Qi with a glass cup, and there was a silver spoon in it.

In the middle of the cup is a pink ice cream.

"This is?"

"Strawberry Berry Ice Cream" Oak Basin added: "Not particularly sweet."

She knows Li Qi's taste very well, so she must not make it too sweet.

Li Qi handed Qingtian to the oak basin, and asked her to take the cat out later, then picked up the spoon, and gently scooped a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.

There is no ice residue in the entrance, the taste is indeed not particularly sweet, and it still retains the sour taste unique to strawberries.

It's cool and refreshing, and I feel comfortable.

"It's getting better and better!" Li Qi didn't hesitate to praise himself.

A smile immediately appeared on the face of the oak basin, and the Lord Lord's praise was the reason why she kept delving into delicacies.

"What else is there?" Seeing that she was still standing there, Li Qi asked.

She said: "The crabs you specially ordered to be caught have accumulated a lot. They grow bigger and bigger, and they also like to eat the same kind..."

Li Qi suddenly remembered that he had been sending people to the High Magic Island to catch the cubs of the giant crabs, so as to avoid the reproduction of too many giant crabs, which might destroy the High Magic Island.

"I will eat crabs tonight, and I will add extra meals to the soldiers, eat crabs!"

"Yes!"

After the oak basin left, Li Qi ate a few more scoops of ice cream with a spoon. It had been a long time since he had eaten this kind of thing. The intake of sugar made him feel much better.

He took out the "Lena's Travels" that Cousin Bode gave him on his birthday, but the atmosphere was not very good in broad daylight, so he couldn't read the book.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."

Li Qi stood up and pinched the brass dragon casually.

The brass dragon struggled for a while, but it was a pity that he couldn't escape his two fingers, so Li Qi could only put it on his shoulder and make it a small pendant with peace of mind.

……

Li Qi first went to find Thomas Scholar. When he saw Thomas Scholar, he was still working hard on the magic scroll.

He was so obsessed and assiduous that Li Qi coughed four or five times in succession behind him, but none of them caught his attention.

Seeing this, Li Qi had no choice but to walk in front of Scholar Thomas.

"My lord, when did you come?" Thomas Scholar looked up at Li Qi in surprise.

Li Qi said: "I just came."

"Oh, that's good." Scholar Thomas breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I'd neglected you."

The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly: "Of course you didn't neglect me, my friend."

There was no need to explain, but he also understood that in the future, he must not wait for Thomas Scholar to stop consciously, but should find the right time to appear in his field of vision.

Otherwise it will still be ignored.

Li Qi also decided to break his attention away from the chat topic of Thomas Scholars.

He looked down at the magic scroll picture on Scholar Toma's desk, and asked, "Has there been any special research results?"

"Of course, my lord." Thomas Scholar had a slight smile on his face.He said with some pride: "Although the magic scroll has not made any progress yet, through the combination of magic scrolls and runes, I have successfully researched the prerequisites for how to make mature runes and use them!"

"Oh?" Li Qi suddenly became energetic.

"How to use runes?"

Having obtained the rune book from the rune scholar's laboratory, Li Qi had been able to guess how useful this book would be, but unfortunately he had no technical ability to reproduce it.

If the runes can be successfully made into armor or added weapon accessories for soldiers to wear, then soldiers who have no talent to become superhumans can also have part of the abilities of superhumans.

Not only that.Extraordinary people can also enhance their power through runes.

The superposition of two phases may have a more magical effect.

This is destined to be a very important technology.

If we really want to talk about the technology in magic forging, the set of magical mithril armor worn by the Baron of Iron Collar Taylor Ross may have the knowledge he needs.

It's a pity that it is the lifeblood of Taylor Ross, and it will not be handed over to Li Qi to study.

"This kind of rune needs to be engraved on the body surface of the living thing," Thomas scholar said: "My preliminary guess is that people with high mental strength can bear it, and every time they use it, it will consume mental power."

Li Qi nodded, that's why many people died because they couldn't bear the power of the runes.

"But if we can solve the problem of rune energy, we can recharge the rune every once in a while." Scholar Thomas said excitedly: "Ordinary people can also use the power of runes!"

"Recharging?" Li Qi said: "I have a way to recharge, but it is doomed that the runes cannot be used on a large scale."

Currently, Li Qi can only use himself to recharge his mental power.

The use of a rune, followed by a group of spellcasters to recharge?The cost is too high.

Scholar Thomas directly ignored the second half of Li Qi's sentence, and asked, "What is the charging method you are talking about?"

"That's it." Li Qi put the energy storage cane he was carrying with him on the table: "Can't that piece of [Crystal Crystal] also be charged?"

"It's different, it's not the same." Scholar Thomas lowered his head and began to study while holding the energy storage cane.

Li Qi was completely forgotten.

Li Qi didn't have too much expectation for Thomas's research, so he just got up and left, and just waited until tomorrow to take the energy storage cane away.

……

Deep in the jungle.

The dense forest that used to be dense, now has a large area of ​​open space.

There are also silk cocoons hanging between the trunks.

Silkworm babies have spun silk and cocooned.

"The silk spun by hundreds of silkworm babies can produce at least a dozen tons of silk."

Some slaves are working dully.

"Gululu" suddenly heard a stomach growl, Li Qi turned his head and found that it was a skinny boy.

He was scraping the silk on the tree trunk with a knife to remove the cocoons.

After other people come over, they will use the two-wheeled cart to pull the cocoons away together.

One or two rows of cars can pull four or five cocoons at most.

Will there be people who can't eat in the porcupine collar?

"time to eat!"

There was a cry from a distance, and the boy immediately put away his knife and ran over.

Li Qi also followed, and the group of slaves hardly knew him. After all, Li Qi only showed up once on the day he came to the porcupine collar on a galloping eagle, and he never appeared again since then.

The other slaves only regarded Li Qi as a small steward.

The porcupine leader now has 5000 slaves, and it is said that there are more than 80 small stewards.

Anyway, if he is not his boss, he doesn't care about his own food, so there is no need to talk to him.

Li Qi walked up to the slave serving the rice and took a look.

The food came strictly according to his requirements, but the porcupine leader didn't care about the food, and he had to spend work points if he wanted to eat, and the porcupine collar didn't support idlers.

The dish was potatoes stewed with bones.

Because stewing pork bones requires a lot of waste of firewood, and there is no meat on the bones, there are only a few people who are really willing to buy bones to satisfy their cravings.

Recently, it was the season of potato harvesting, and a large number of potatoes naturally became the rations of the slaves.

If other lords saw that Li Qi actually planted potatoes to feed the slaves, they would definitely say that he was full of evil, feeding the poor slaves with the dirty food grown underground.

Unlike them, who would rather have a slave starve than soil their stomach with filthy food that grows underground.

Soft rotten stewed potato cubes, plus the oily flowers stewed from the bones, don't say how delicious it tastes, but it must be very satisfying. Li Qi will eat it once in a while.

And everyone can exchange work points for a piece of black bread.

He looked at the skinny and skinny boy just now. The other party finished his meal and felt that he was not full. He ordered another serving. His appetite was astonishing.

"Is it because the stomach is indigestion?" Li Qi didn't know, but since the pharmacists checked the slave's body and there was no major problem, Li Qi would not be so conscientious and spend money to take care of the slave's body.

To be treated, one must demonstrate value.

Li Qi walked around the forest again, and then decided to turn around and go to the silkworm village to see the production of silk. Next month is Red Qiangwei's birthday, so birthday gifts must be arranged.

It just so happened that the skinny young man was also pulling a two-wheeled cart to send the cocoons to the sericulture village for spinning, so he went with him on the way.

"What's your name?" Li Qi asked casually.

The "Luka" boy's attitude was neither salty nor cold, but he didn't dare to really offend the little steward.

"how old are you?"

"16"

Li Qi looked at the other party and said, "I didn't expect you to look thin, but you are very strong."

The weight of one silkworm cocoon is about as heavy as a piglet, and four or five silkworm cocoons are pulled on a two-wheeled cart, even if it is walking on a concrete floor, at least two people are needed.

One needs to be pulled in front, and someone behind pushes the rear of the car forward.

Like Luka, a person pulling a cart is no less powerful than some 30-year-old strong middle-aged people.

But he looked skinny, and he was only 16, which was why Li Qi was surprised.

"Didn't you want to be a soldier?" Li Qi asked.

The young man is hard-working, and he does the work of two people alone. Li Qi has a good impression of him.

Moreover, he has great strength, and with a little training, he is also a titan.

Luca shook his head: "The soldier in charge and selection said I was too thin, so I was not allowed to participate. I also wanted to gain weight, but no matter how much I ate, I didn't get fat. All the work points I earned were spent on eating."

No wonder he rushed to start working right after eating. With his appetite, he could really starve himself to death if he didn't work hard.

"You still need to rely on body shape?" In fact, Li Qi also understands that this is the simplest screening and can avoid a lot of troubles, but he said: "But I just know a gossip, you can go to Lacey tomorrow Sith, he happens to be recruiting new infantry, if you can pass his assessment, you will definitely be able to stay."

"Lord Lacey Sith?" Luca had some impression of Lacey Sith.

The opponent will often appear to select talents.

It is said that as long as you can get into the eyes of Lord Lacey, you can get rid of your slave status and become a noble porcupine soldier.

"I'm too thin." Luca shook his head.

Li Qi said: "Just try it, maybe you will pass, I am very optimistic about you."

He wanted to directly promote Luka as a lord, but whether Luka was suitable to be a soldier could not just be determined by his strength.

And if you report your identity, no matter what Luka's ability is, he will definitely pass the selection of soldiers.

He tried his best to avoid cultivating connections.

"If I pass, I will invite you to eat egg tarts!" Luca said excitedly. If the young steward in front of him hadn't told him, he would never have known that he would have the opportunity to select soldiers tomorrow.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your egg tart."

The two walked for a while, and finally came to the silkworm village.

There are mainly two areas here. Sericulture villages do not really raise silkworms because they cannot be raised.

In an open-air area, there is a large pot with boiling water.

This is used to boil cocoons and spin them.

Another area was built with houses in which women weaved silk.

Work is hard.

The weather is very hot, and there are too many cocoons. The whole silkworm farming village has to work hard to spin the cocoons. If it is slower, moths may break out of the cocoons.

Every cocoon lost is a lot of money, so I can only work overtime.

After entering the Silkworm Village, Li Qi took the initiative to separate from Luca.

The steward of the textile factory in Sericulture Village recognized Li Qi at a glance, took the initiative to trot over to lead him the way, and introduced the recent situation of Sericulture Village.

Simply put, after this period of hard work, 4 pounds of silk cloth have been accumulated!

The price of silk has not been set, but if Li Qi's previous idea is to use gold days as the unit price, the entry of a thousand gold days is indispensable.

Cloth, fur, gold and silver are all hard currencies that Lurea trades in, and they are not afraid that they will not be sold.
