Lord of Rot

Chapter 485 Admission Ticket to the Big Library (4000 words)
Five-star general MacArthur once said that if he came to this continent from the earth and saw the scene that Li Qi saw, it would be the most magnificent performance he had ever seen in his life. Same name as Jerusalem.

All other troupe performances are eclipsed before it, and when the torch is lit, it is destined to attract countless eyes.

Li Qi watched as the actor rushed in lit the torch and threw it high into the sky.

The torch fell, but the actor failed to catch it.

It happened that there was a lady wearing a skirt beside him, and the torch directly ignited her long skirt.

"Ah! Help, help!" the actress screamed.

"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"

The flames rose quickly, and the actress's body seemed to be poured with oil, and was completely covered in flames in the blink of an eye.

The acrobatic troupe was full of noise, everyone dodged far away, and everyone could only watch the lady in the long skirt being engulfed by the fire.

The guards immediately rushed to protect the nobles on the table behind them.

Li Qi couldn't enter the protection circle because the seat he was sitting in was too remote.

"Oh, the four gods are above!" Queen Orianna put her hands together on her chest: "This..."

Boer II, who was drinking heavily, seemed to have woken up too, but he didn't panic. It was just that a person was burned to death.

No one likes to burn an innocent person alive at a banquet to welcome guests.

Others also had different expressions, including disdain, panic, bewilderment, and fear.

Li Qi watched Burning Man's trembling steps, and rushed forward with big strides.

With his transcendent body, even if it is burned by fire, it can't cause much damage, not to mention that there are many life-saving things on him, just flames.

"Sir Li Qi!" Looking at Li Qi who was walking towards Burning Man, someone subconsciously shouted.

The queen subconsciously covered her mouth.

Hong Qiangwei opened her eyes wide, in disbelief.

Little George looked at the figure rushing towards the Burning Man, his eyes sparkling.

It is a very unwise choice to get close to the flame now. The flame seems to have consciousness. When it senses that Li Qi is approaching, it even actively spreads towards Li Qi, intending to wrap him in the fire.

Li Qi frowned slightly as the heat wave spread, but he didn't stop. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand extended by the burning man.

Just wanted to grab the other party and spin it around a few times, then throw it on the ground and roll it hard to put out the fire.

But he didn't expect that the moment his palm touched the opponent's wrist, the flame exploded.

Bang~!

The sparks bloomed and turned into butterflies spreading their wings, flying in all directions with faint light and warmth.

Li Qi was like being in a fiery red snowflake.

The gorgeous dazzle dissipated, and the actress who was engulfed by the flames just now had changed into a long white dress.

She was held by Li Qi and stood there.

On the cheeks with small freckles, the brows were slightly frowned, as if it was because Li Qi grabbed her hand too hard, so his hand hurt.

"Wonderful performance!" The second prince, Little George, took the lead in clapping his hands, and the others also responded.

Turns out it was just a show!
Li Qi was also stunned, the effect of the program?Next is the moment to witness the miracle?
"Thank you for your help." The actress looked frequently at her grasped hand.

"Uh, it's easy." Li Qi let go of the opponent's hand and heard the opponent breathe a sigh of relief.

According to the plan of the actors, they should want to become Pyroman, then touch a certain nobleman, and finally complete the gorgeous transformation. Unfortunately, they miscalculated how dedicated the guards around the king were, and they couldn't get close at all.

Li Qi, who was the only one who took the initiative to come over to help, almost broke the actress' hand in desperation.

Going back to his chair and sitting down, everyone's eyes turned to Li Qi. Queen Orianna didn't hide her appreciation, and looked at him frequently. Put it on Li Qi's body.

"Sir Li Qi, did you know that the flames were fake?"

"I don't know." Li Qi shook his head. He looked at the others and found that their expressions were normal.

He also understood that he was indeed scaring himself just now.

Because of the constant speculation before, Li Qi mistakenly thought that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack the king. He didn't want to be trapped in troubles that had nothing to do with him. Fortunately, it was just a show.

The second prince looked at Li Qi with eager eyes: "I don't know if there is any danger, why do you want to go forward?"

Li Qi subconsciously avoids the other party's aggressive gaze, but he has never forgotten the other party's special hobbies, and hides whenever he can.

At the same time, he also explained: "Because she reached out to me for help."

"Haha, cheers to Sir Li Qi's bravery!"

The performance just now obviously used some kind of specially configured alchemy product, or the flame produced by a strange potion, which is a bit like prop magic. If it was magic, Li Qi could recognize it immediately.

Li Qi was amazed by the acting skills of this group of people compared to props that made flames that would not injure anyone. He really mistook it for something wrong just now.

After the sudden but effective performance just now, the actors didn't dare to play tricks anymore, throwing torches, throwing balls, etc. according to the rules, and doing some small juggling that is not very dangerous.

By the end of the banquet, everyone was about to leave.

But the king suddenly asked: "Sir Li Qi, are you interested in participating in the hunt together?"

"My honor, Your Majesty!" Facing the invitation, Li Qi directly bent down and replied without hesitation.

"I fell in love with your porcupine wine!" said the king. "From now on, all the wine in Bearcastle will be bought at the porcupine collar! No, this hunting will also be used!"

All the performers of the acrobatic troupe were rewarded, and everyone left one after another.

The second prince, George Kerr, was ordered by the queen to send his fiancée home, but from his appearance, he was obviously more interested in Li Qi, so when he left, Li Qi noticed Red Qiangwei's gaze, and he quickly blinked to express that he I really didn't want to grab a man with her, it was all a misunderstanding!

Red Qiangwei looked at the figure of the baron who blinked at her and then left, and suppressed the impulse in her heart. She understood that it was a signal for herself. As long as she wanted to escape, Li Qi would definitely take her to escape. To blink was to assure himself that he remembered this.

"Your Highness," she turned to look at the person beside her.

She was engaged to her elder brother, but married her younger brother after his elder brother died, but she was powerless to change anything, and even had to accept all this for the sake of Dongxia.

"You can call me Little George," said the second prince, "We will get married soon, Evangeline."

"Yes, George" she nodded.

"I'll take you back"

The distance between the two can even accommodate two more people, they are both trying to accept each other, that is powerless to their own destiny.

While walking back silently, the two were thinking about the same man in a tacit understanding.

……

In the hall of Bear Castle, all the soldiers retreated.

Only the king who drank calmly, and the queen who was a little nervous to the point of madness were left.

"Little bear, he is different from other children!" Queen Orianna walked up to the drunken king quickly, holding up her skirt, trying to raise her hand to snatch his bottle, but was caught by the seemingly clumsy but sensitive body. Shape dodges past.

"He is the only heir!"

Pole II was panting heavily, angry at the queen for robbing him of his fine wine.

"I said, he is different from others." Orianna raised her voice, her beautiful face became a little hideous, and said: "We can't force him, and we also know that the child is very stubborn. , he is even more stubborn than Hugo."

"I'm the king, and if I say he can, he can do it!" Pol II's tone became more serious: "He will leave the blood that belongs to the Kein family, or never!"

This kind of dialogue is not the first time, Orianna knows that King Boer II, who was once greedy for her beauty, has lost interest in her with the passage of time.

Orianna seemed to think of something, and she quickly said: "We can coax him, Xiaoxiong is still a child, we can find a group of men to please Xiaoxiong, as long as we finally shoot into the body of the woman in Leopold's house, what? All good, right?"

"Snapped!"

Pope II raised his hand and slapped the queen on the face. She fell to the ground with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

The delicate half of the face is quickly swollen.

She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"You are a twisted and perverted woman, I've always known that, but! King's blood cannot be stained!"

Holding the wine bottle, Pope II took another sip of wine, got up and left shaking.

Opening the door, the guards who were waiting immediately followed and supported Bohr II.

Yan Keyin looked at the queen who fell on the ground, hesitated for a long time and walked over: "Are you okay? The king just drank too much."

"He has always been like that, full of possessiveness, the king's blood cannot be stained, he has no restraint on himself, but he always gives orders to distort other people!" The queen seemed to be venting, shouting out all the dissatisfaction in her heart, Fortunately, there is only Yan Kein here. As a collateral branch of the Golden Bear family, he will choose to forget everything after walking out of this door.

"What a beautiful dress!" The queen stared at the blood stained on the skirt, dazed.

"I'll go find the maid." At this moment, the three-eyed Lahanying felt something was wrong, and the atmosphere was even weirder than standing next to the undead.

"and many more!"

……

Li Qi turned around, and finally got rid of those ministers walking and chatting after dinner, and hurried back to his room.

One person was already standing at the door.

He wore a long robe and many gold ornaments on his body, which meant that he did not engage in manual labor, and his status in Bear Castle was also extraordinary.

"Good night, my lord." He bowed to Li Qi: "I am here to help you under the order of Lord Yan Kein. You can call me Sirt. I am the assistant to the Minister of Regent. Running around in the royal city, there are many gossips, no one will know better than me."

"Mr. Sylter" Li Qi nodded, as a greeting: "It's hard to get into the big library?"

"No, it's not." Sirt shook his head: "The big library has the most complete collection of books in Lurea Continent...Although everyone agrees that the scholars in Stormwind City have more books."

He joked humorously: "However, in order to show their greatness and profound knowledge, the kings of all dynasties have also used many methods to collect books from all over the world. Maybe the big library is still not as good as Stormwind City, but it definitely belongs to the city. This is the second largest sacred place for book collection in the mainland, and the big library is not difficult to enter, even if you are not a noble like you, even an ordinary businessman is allowed to enter the big library to read the books in it for free."

In order to show one's background, it is reasonable for everyone to read books for free.

Li Qi was puzzled: "Why did Sir Ian tell me that it would be very troublesome?"

Sirt said: "That's because there are only the first and second floors that are free and open to the outside world, and there are many history books that are difficult to distinguish from authenticity, non-nutritive poems, messy dirty jokes, and even big ones. The method of planting slugs, and the brewing process of raisins under the table, in short, there are indeed countless collections of books on the first and second floors, but they come from prostitutes, bards, or someone who learned to write and wanted to write some novels A farmer who cheats money."

"If you want to investigate the hidden epic, the true origin of the blood, you need to go to the third floor of the big library."

"What do you need?" Li Qi asked, he knew that when the other party said this sentence, it meant that things were not that simple.

"A license," Sirt said: "The entire capital, the person who can issue this license..."

He raised his right hand and shook his five fingers: "It won't exceed the number of fingers on this hand."

"If you still want to obtain more cutting-edge magic knowledge, the wisdom of the predecessors, or even ancient but almost lost mysteries, you need to go to the fourth floor."

Li Qi immediately asked: "Who can issue this permit? How can I get the permit?"

"You are very lucky," Sirt said, "There just happens to be a party tomorrow. If you attend, there is a high probability that you can get the permission from that person."

"What party?"

"A masked ball" Sirt turned sideways and said: "Every participant must wear a mask and a black robe, and then use a method to choose their dance partner for the night, where you can do anything , if you can make that guy happy, maybe you can get permission."

Li Qi: "..."

Why does this masked dance sound unhealthy?
"What time?" Li Qi asked.

Although he would rather put on the Pot of Invisibility and go into the big library to read a book to have a good time, but this is the capital of the king, he is not sure that the Pot of Invisibility can deceive everyone.

Sirt said: "In the evening and dusk, I will arrange a carriage in front of the stone sculptures of the guardians of the Four Gods Faith in Wangcheng to take you to the meeting place."

Li Qi nodded: "Okay, I remember."

Isn't it just a ball, as long as the one who takes off the mask is not George Kern Jr., everything is negotiable!
