Lord of Rot

Chapter 34 The Widow and the Lucky Boy

Li Qi, who holds the first transaction gold, has already arranged for people to go to the town to buy things.

He needs to buy some livestock and build a small ranch in the porcupine collar. He wants to raise more chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs to improve his life.In addition, there are slaves. The porcupine collar needs people. The slave trade has never stopped, but the slaves bought last time are children and women. They are the least valuable in the slave market. If you want strong slaves, the price I'm afraid it will double, or even nearly ten times.

There is also iron, and the replacement of agricultural tools must be accelerated.

Food still needs to be purchased. At present, it seems that it is not the porcupine collar that supports him, the lord, but that he makes money to feed the entire porcupine collar first.

Then there is talent.

Li Qi went to the tavern in Iron Stone Castle. If he wanted to find some capable people, he had to go to the place with the most news.

Pushing open the door, the strong smell of wine came to the face, and the quarrels and hustle and bustle were overwhelming.

People huddled together, people they knew or didn't know, bragging.

Li Qi, whose clothes obviously didn't match here, came and made the tavern quiet for a moment, but then everyone seemed to be okay, you chatted about yours, and I chatted about mine.

"I guess those golden horses shit is made of gold, they have to hire someone to pick up shit in the back of the wagon hahahahahaha"

"You must not have seen that sword, the one of the old toe, made of silver steel, it is said to be very deadly to some evil things, I wanted to pull it out last time to see that he charged me a silver moon, damn it, Is that silver steel sword his wife's nai? I'd rather throw that silver moon into the kiln."

"Dongxia and Giant's Foot are going to fight again? Didn't they just stop for a while?" "I heard that it was because a woman from the Jin Jaijian family died there and her stomach was brutally cut open. It seems that she had an affair with a servant?"

"Going northwest, there is a scaled monster in the swamp around the Pig's Head Mountain, which is very similar to a salamander. They attacked the caravan, dragged the goods and people into the quagmire, and left one because of urine. The lucky boy who rushed to put water behind the tree saved his life." "Shh, that guy is just drinking here."

Li Qi's ears were filled with all kinds of messy news, some were hearsay, and some were made up by drinking too much.

He also experienced it himself on the spot.

"The iron hoofed knight kicked another one to death last night, at the ball at Simon's house."

"How do you know?"

"Nonsense, my cousin's husband's younger brother works as a cook in the castle. He saw the iron hoofed knight killed with his own eyes, and his body has been buried in the cemetery. The biggest grave is that!"

"A glass of malt wine." Li Qi stopped in front of the counter and put a silver moon on the table. He wanted to put a copper star more, but he only had a silver moon in his pocket.

The tavern owner made a large glass of malt wine, which could completely burst his stomach.

Just when the tavern owner wanted to collect the money, Li Qi pressed Yinyue with his finger: "This glass of wine is not worth a dime."

"What do you want to ask?" the tavern owner asked, and he said, "A guest like you must want to inquire about some information."

"I want to find some capable people to help me work, to help a noble lord."

"It's the first time I've seen a noble lord go to a tavern to find someone," said the tavern owner, but seeing Li Qi let go of Yinyue's finger, he quickly grabbed the money into his palm, and said: "Here are three teachings and nine schools, what kind of person They are all there. If you want to find someone who can kill people, just a few mercenaries with wolf head badges are fine. There are more than a dozen of them, and they often do some dirty work, but sometimes they don’t follow the rules. You have to be careful with them. "

"I don't need mercenaries." Li Qi shook his head. Mercenaries have no integrity at all, and their fighting power may not be comparable to his dead body.

"'Widow' Glenn, he used to work under a certain lord, but because he messed with the lord's 50-year-old widow mother, he was kicked out with a broken leg."

Li Qi turned his head to look at the down-and-out lame man who was drinking in the corner, old-fashioned?This is nothing among the nobles, as long as both parties agree with each other, and then turn to look at the tavern owner: "What else?"

"'Lucky Boy' Joe, the son of a merchant, when passing through Pig Head Mountain a few days ago, the convoy was attacked by monsters in the mud, and he was the only one who survived. He is very confused now."

A manager and a caravan merchant are talents he urgently needs.

No matter what type of talent he lacks.

The tavern owner said: "Maybe you are looking for some sons of nobles who can do certain jobs, but you can only find losers in the tavern."

He filled wine for Li Qi, and said: "The only thing they succeed is that they can cheat a glass of wine with a story."

But the sons of nobles are not willing to work for them, and the porcupine collar now mainly pays attention to cost performance.

Li Qi picked up the wine and walked towards that "lucky boy" Joe, who looked up at him, and then lowered his head.

"I've heard your story." Li Qi said, "I won't say I sympathize with you, nor will I laugh at you."

Joe still bowed his head.

"I'm a lord." Li Qi took a sip of his wine and said relaxedly, "The one with a fief, do you want to kill those monsters in the swamp for revenge?"

Joe looked up at him with a twinkle in his eye.

"I am short of talented people under my command. If you can work for me, I promise to help you destroy those mud monsters."

"Are you serious?" He opened his eyes wide, and Li Qi finally saw that his half-drooped eyelids covered the red blood in his eyeballs. He must have been tortured by that massacre for a long time.

Li Qi pointed to the family crest on his chest: "I assure you with the honor of nobility."

It's not hard to take down a young guy who's full of hatred and has no idea about his future, assuming he doesn't know how poor the porcupine collar is.

After chatting with the other party, Li Qi gave him some silver moons and asked him to go to the porcupine collar after packing up.

If the other party donates money and runs away, then run away, he is really short of people.

Then Li Qi went to the 'widow' Glenn.

"I know you're hungry for talent, Baron Porcupine." Grant glanced at Li Qi's family crest and said, "The porcupine collar is old and barren, and I'm not like the kid just now. I can be easily persuaded if he sees the porcupine collar. , might turn around and run away."

"That's why I let him go to the porcupine collar by himself," Li Qi said, "I gave him a chance to repent."

But Joe has a great chance that he will not regret it, because apart from contacting himself, it is impossible for Joe to find a second lord who is willing to help him avenge him.

Gu Lan took a sip of wine: "I can't restrain my love for the elderly, which may be the reason why I was raised by my grandma."

"Well, I can understand" Li Qi said hesitantly.

Ge Lan looked at him unexpectedly: "Could it be, you also like..."

"No! My orientation is normal!" Li Qi quickly said, "But I respect and bless every true love born from the depths of my heart. Love is sacred."

Grant smiled and raised his glass: "Holy love."

"Holy Love"

But after paying homage to love, Gulen lowered his head to drink again.

What a waste of tongue and drink, it's not as easy to fool as Joe.
