Lord of Rot

Chapter 463 The Girl Has Grow Up

Li Qi's action was very fast, and he planned to fool Scholar Tonks and himself back to Porcupine Collar, so they boarded the boat from Iron Valley to Porcupine Collar that day.

The waves are divided by boats.

Along with him came back Beast Whisperer Pitts, who had been busy in Iron Valley for more than half a year. It is a pity that the armadillo died. I don’t know if the blood herbal medicine is too effective, or they returned to their ancestors and became some kind of short-lived animals. ancestor.

"That's the porcupine collar?" Scholar Tonks came to the deck and followed Li Qi's gaze to look at the distant coast.

The towering watchtower was only as tall as a little finger in the eyes of the two of them.

It will take half a day to go back.

"That's right." Li Qi nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

Although his territory has stretched from Porcupine Territory to Iron Valley, and even intervened in Shuijian Land, all the way to most of the desert, it is the Porcupine Territory that really gives him a strong sense of belonging. This is where everything started.

It's only the third year of crossing, but how much has changed in myself and the territory, I believe everyone who knows the porcupine collar can give the answer.

"I might stay here for a while," Scholar Tonks said, "and help you teach some people."

But I'll leave when I save enough money.

She would definitely not say this sentence, since she is the lord of a big dog slaughterer, she must be obedient on the surface.

"Thank you so much." Li Qi nodded, not caring what the other party meant.

run away?

It doesn't matter, now that Li Qi has brought himself into Huang Mao, he will definitely pry her bottom line again.

When you come, don't want to leave!

The boat docked slowly.

Stepping into December, the weather has become a lot more serious, and the temperature has dropped off a cliff. On the way back, Li Qi had to wear thicker clothes. Although superhumans are not afraid of the cold, they are not afraid of the cold and whether they can Feeling the cold is two different things. He can chew rocks with his teeth now, but he can't really stop eating dirt for three meals a day.

A hut has been built beside the pier, and as Li Qi and the others disembark, Lacey Sith, who has already received the message from the raven, has come to greet him in person.

He has already grown a beard, a fur coat outside the well-maintained plate armor, and the long sword that Li Qi canonized him as a knight is hanging on his waist. Compared with the original separation, Lacey Heath A little more mature and stable, but too many territorial chores made his hairline not so brave, and he began to shrink back.

"Good day, my lord!" Lacey looked at Li Qi excitedly.

"Good day" Li Qi and Lacey Heath hugged: "Although we haven't been separated for a long time, seeing you makes me feel at ease, huh... Fortunately, Ge Lan didn't come, otherwise I have to read the report It's next year."

The two looked at each other, then laughed.

A porcupine collar top joke.

The development of the porcupine collar has never left Li Qi's sight, although he has been away from the territory for most of this year.

Red brick houses have become the standard configuration of the entire porcupine collar, and those mud houses have basically been eliminated, even the large dormitory.

Riding on a horse, Li Qi walked on the smooth avenue, and chatted with Lacey Sis about the recent aristocratic anecdotes.

Eating melons is always people's favorite, especially the marriage relationship of young nobles, which can directly reflect the changes in the power of the lord of a territory.

On a bigger scale, for example, when the eldest prince and Red Rose got engaged, the eldest prince won the support of Dongxia, and becoming the next king was almost a certainty, unless he died earlier than the king.

Another example is Li Qi, his name is already big enough, but since the news of his marriage with Lin Tawan came out, he has now become an upstart in the East Gorge.

In the past, everyone could use force to express their dissatisfaction secretly with low seniority and few connections, and even to show disapproval on the surface. Li Qi still remembered that when he went to the Roaring Castle in East Harbor City last time, he sat in the corner.

But now, no one will say these words anymore.

"...So Philip refused to be engaged to the lady?"

"That's right." Lacey Heath nodded: "He told the lady that he might not be able to love her, and he was unwilling to marry her."

"Then let him grab the marriage," Li Qi said casually.

Lacey looked at her lord in shock.

As a member of the circle of friends, everyone knows that 'Midnight Sun' Philip Cavendish actually likes Miss Red Rose, but now Red Rose is engaged to the eldest prince, is it a robbery?
That's not a simple grab.

Whether it's a king or a duke, they're going to get mad.

"Hahaha" Li Qi looked at the stunned Lacey and laughed.

"Your joke scares me." Lacey complained, but he also heard that his lord and the eldest prince didn't get along very well. The lord just said something refreshingly.

Li Qi shook his head, just kidding?If there is a chance to kill the eldest prince, he will not be polite, because he will definitely attack the tuna family. The porcupine Baron, who is covered in thorns, was plundered on the island. How could he not bite back hard and kill him to relieve his hatred.

And for the sake of face, the eldest prince will definitely try his best to keep the first nobleman who takes refuge in him.

Conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

It's just that he is not very kind to Hong Qiangwei, after all, he is her man.

No one is robbing, you can consider robbing yourself in the future.

Cross the widened avenue and come to the square.

A statue belonging to Li Qi has been erected, riding a gallant eagle with outstretched wings, looking mighty and extraordinary.

Li Qi lamented that one day he could be like a stone lion.

Having passed the most difficult period of shortage of manpower, the work pace of porcupine collars has gradually slowed down. Occasionally, people who come out for a stroll can be seen on the road. A year ago, when it was time to go to work, no one could be seen on the road.

Regardless of black and white day and night, severe cold and hot summer, everyone is working non-stop.

Quite a number of people have never seen the lord, or have seen it from a distance, but because of time constraints, they have long forgotten what it looks like. These people are slaves from Gaoxue City who were bought at that time.

So when Li Qi and Lacey arrived side by side on horseback, some people mistakenly thought it was some big shot.

"What, is that our lord? So young?"

Such voices kept coming out of the crowd, and some people raised their chins proudly: "The lord is only 20 years old this year! But he is already the most powerful and famous nobleman in the East Gorge!"

Li Qi, on the other hand, walked through the path made aside by the crowd with a smile on his face. He was used to seeing big scenes, and it was no longer the same as before.

Entering the castle with Li Qi, there was also the carriage of Tonks scholar.

The butler Simon has already led the servants in line.

A row of male servants, a row of maids, as well as cooks, helpers, etc., the total number exceeded twenty!

And according to Li Qi's observation, quite a few of them are chef apprentices.

"I didn't expect that I had formulated so many training strategies. There were not a few Chaofan and craftsmen, but a lot of chefs. Am I training New Oriental chefs in another world?"

He shook his head and shook off the ghostly voice of "Sister, if you meet a New Oriental chef, marry me", he decided in his heart to increase training efforts and send chef talents to the whole continent.

It's best to open a restaurant and let them see how people eat in other worlds.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very glad to see you." Li Qi got off his horse, and his subordinates immediately came to lead the horse for him: "Simon, arrange someone to help the Tonks scholar prepare a residence, she may attend the night school tonight training."

The tool person must go online immediately, while she doesn't have much money in hand.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Simon nodded immediately.

"I think, I still need something to eat." Li Qi said, "Go find Akeke and come to me."

"Yes"

……

Li Qi held the bowl and ate sliced ​​noodles.

Mood gets better with snorting and swallowing noodles.

"Ha" put down the bowl, he was satisfied.

"You did a good job." Li Qi looked at the oak tub standing beside her. She had completely replaced the wine barrel and became the most powerful cook in the castle.

Wine Barrel has already bought a house with his savings, and relying on the small benefits of interpersonal relationships given by the castle, he can do retail in the commercial area and start a small business, so he doesn't have to guard the stove every day.

The oak basin heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, she memorized a lot about the lord's preferences and the strange recipes that she said casually. She has been studying it non-stop, and now she finally has a good result. Everything is worth it.

"My lord, Akeke is here."

Knowing that Akeke was coming, the oak basin quickly took away the bowls and chopsticks and said goodbye. The next thing was beyond her comprehension.

Obsessed in the castle, they are very clear that power divides into classes, just like Akeke and the dragon-born boy Luca, who are below the nobles and above the common people, and even Glenn, Joe and others dare not order them directly.

A sense of alienation is unavoidable for a position of superiority or inferiority.

Maybe you are not condescending to me, but I can't help but look up when I look at you.

After the last monkey collar attack, many nobles have seen how terrifying the porcupine collar's artillery is. Naturally, no one dares to think about the island of High Devil. Potion planting and beekeeping can continue, but after Akeke successfully bred bee In the future, there is no need to often stay on the island.

Just that group of extraordinary bees flying as fast as bullets, and the number is extremely large, people who go to the island to steal are simply dying.

Long time no see, the little maid is still wearing a long skirt and a white lace apron, but her body is developing very fast. She has grown from a little girl to Li Qi’s chin height. Some older maids are like oak Pots, wine glasses, etc., but not as tall as her.

The characteristic is the long legs, I haven't seen it for a while, it seems like a different person.

Children of this age grow fast.

Li Qi waved to her, and Akeke, whose cheeks were still flushed, immediately got rid of his shyness and ran to Li Qi.

"Growing up," Li Qi sighed.

This can be regarded as the child I have seen since I was a child, right?At the beginning, the family was still slaves, but now they have grown into slim and tall girls. There is always a feeling of a daughter growing up.

He even automatically brought in the role of the old father, and he couldn't just let any pig get over him, I believe that guy Ake knows it well.

Although Akeke is always taciturn, it does not prevent Li Qi from liking her very much.

"how are things?"

"Very good," she whispered, "I learned a lot of words."

"It's good to learn more things." Li Qi nodded. He wasn't worried about Akeke's talent, at least no one could replace his talent for controlling insects.

"I asked you to come for one thing, it's up to you."

"It's not me..." The blush that had just subsided climbed up her cheeks and ears again.

Ignoring her state change, he took out a small iron box that had been clasped with layers of protection, opened it and placed it on the table: "Can you try to control them?"

The viscous liquid was surging in the box, and the translucent bodies were stacked together, which was very disgusting to look at carefully.

Akeke closed her eyes, and she nodded after a while: "Yes! But their consciousness is very closed, and they haven't woken up yet."

"I might have a way to wake it up." Li Qi excitedly said, "Let's see what this thing is first."

A kind of thing with strong jumping ability, tenacious vitality, and mysterious origin, if it is controlled by Akeke, who is the "Queen of Zerg", what strange reaction will happen.

This is similar to his ability to control ghouls, and it's worth developing.

The two came to the yard and had someone deliver a chicken.

Li Qi used the hand of a mage to pinch a maggot like a water drop: "At that time, it almost got into my eye. I can reasonably guess that this thing is interested in the brain or eyes."

If chickens don't work, then replace them with dogs or cows. People are not among the experimental subjects.

Moreover, this thing is hidden and dangerous. If you don't investigate in advance, what will you do if you get caught in the future.

After the water droplets got close to the chicken's eyes, they slammed into it.

"Cluck!!" The chicken began to slap its body frantically, convulsing, and the whole process lasted for a short time.

When it stopped, its body no longer twitched, and it looked no different from a normal chicken.

Normal to peck the stones and bugs on the ground.

"Can you still feel its existence?" Li Qi asked.

"Well." Akeke nodded: "But it didn't do anything, just fell asleep just like before."

"I think it has done something." Li Qi looked at the chicken in front of him and said, "A normal chicken shouldn't be eavesdropping on us, right? Let it come out!"

Akeke nodded, and then a drop-shaped worm came out of the corn's eye, and was quickly pecked into the corn's mouth and swallowed.
