Lord of Rot

Chapter 522: Hatching again

tent.

The candle flickered.

"Dong" the person was hit hard on the ground.

A boy with fair skin, white hair, and a handsome face with long pointed ears was curled up on the ground.

Pain, and humiliation.

He did not cry, but felt the torture and pain from his body alone. After a long time, he realized that the footsteps were far away, and he sat up and remained silent.

He didn't want to just forget about today's matter. Fortunately, he had a teacher who loved him, so he found his teacher and struggled with how to ask for help: "Teacher, I..."

The teacher looked at him doubtfully: "Why are you here?"

Did he have no idea what happened before?There must have been a big commotion, after all, he vowed to die last night, and even if the master didn't know, someone would definitely tell him.

But he didn't think carefully, but lowered his head:
"I……"

"Today's task is very heavy. I will give you a horse to investigate later."

"Yes!"

The silver-haired man put on his iron helmet and decided to fulfill his master's order first. He mounted his horse and rushed into the woods.

Detecting the enemy's situation is accompanied by all kinds of cold arrows that may be fired. Fortunately, he has a lot of experience and skills as a sentry.

At the fork in the road, he dismounted.

He squatted down, poked his finger at an obviously pulled-like piece of excrement, sniffed it before bringing it to his nose, and finally stretched out his tongue and tapped his finger lightly.

The feces was cold and didn't taste right.

Based on the direction of the feces, he roughly estimated the time and the opponent's position in his mind. Then he got on his horse and prepared to go back and report the news before taking action. The enemy was in the dark, and every piece of news from the sentry was very important.

No one noticed him when he rushed back to the camp. He casually tied the horse's reins and heard a voice.

"Well, next time!"

It's the bastard who forced himself!

Turning into ashes, he could also hear the sound.

Especially the nightmare-like sound, like a lion lying on the shoulder, makes people's heart stop and they dare not move.

He subconsciously stopped because the voice he heard made him suspect that he might know who betrayed him last night and tricked him.

"If you want to say that he is also your apprentice, you sold him for two silver months?"

apprentice?His heart twitched.

"You're right, there will be three silver moons tonight!"

"Fuck off!"

"Hahaha!"

The people over there were laughing wildly, but his whole body was cold, and his blood seemed to be frozen.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, draw his sword, and then... kill him!

Sword and sword shadow.

Blood splattered, screams, begging, and arrows rained down.

And those voices: "Bai Falcon is crazy, he killed the leader!"

The short arrow of the crossbow pierced his body, but it didn't hurt. He just felt in a daze.

Then, deeper messy memories occupied the high ground, a towering tree, and whispers, and then power kept flowing out. The sword broke, but the fist could dent the plate armor.

He casually grabbed an axe, rounded his arm and spread it out. A storm of blades struck him dead and injured.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. A corpse with half of its head cut off from the mouth was lying in front of the white falcon. The lower teeth were stained red with blood and the tongue was drooping. As he stood, blood dripped down the tip of his tongue and formed a pool of blood.

No matter what kind of kindness or honor, only surviving is everything. This is already the second time, and he will not be so naive next time.

The carriage rocked.

Bai Falcon slowly opened his eyes.

It was that dream again.

The nightmare-like nightmare has been plaguing him for a long time, maybe decades?Maybe it was more distant, and he had almost forgotten the specific names of the people in the dream, but he remembered the details of the dream very clearly.

"You've been sleeping all day, do you want to have something to eat?" The girl who was also sitting in the carriage looked at Bai Falcon with slightly red cheeks, and there was no hidden emotion in her eyes.

Bai Falcon subconsciously raised his head and scratched his face. The linen mask fell off when he fell asleep, revealing his delicate face unique to elves. He covered his face again: "Where are you?"

The girl felt a little regretful, but she did not look back, still staring at Bai Falcon's delicate eyes like glass, which seemed to hide the stars and the sea.

"Ahead is the border of Muhe River." The middle-aged man driving the carriage turned back and said, "There is a market where we can stay."

What is the relationship between Bai Falcon and the two of them, grandfather and grandson?Father and daughter?He had no interest at all, but the two of them allowed him to ride in the carriage, which was considered a favor. Ignoring them was regarded as his own reward?No, I no longer have so-called moral constraints, only what I want to do and what I don’t want to do.

But now I don't want to do anything except survive.

"Where do you want to stop?"

"Front market."

"Okay, I'll go too."

But the middle-aged man suddenly started talking: "You carry a sword on your back, you are also a warrior, right?"

"Ah."

"My sister's son has wanted glory since he was a child. He joined the army and went to the royal capital two years ago."

"Ah."

Bai Falcon was in a lack of interest. He had no interest in the so-called royal capital or the soldiers. He even said that if this small life hadn't kept him with unrealistic expectations, he might not even care about death.

"Oh, it's a pity that he died." The middle-aged man sighed: "Thousands of people died on the day Bailong attacked the city."

White dragon?

What white dragon?
The news has not developed to that extent. It can be said that except for the nobles who can use ravens to deliver news, ordinary people do not even know that the king is no longer Boer II, but George Kane Jr., let alone Bailong. The count raided the royal city and scared them away.

"When you die, everything is over." Bai Falcon turned his head and looked at the woods left behind by the carriage: "Glory, hope, hatred, wishes, no matter what they are, they are all gone when you die, so living is the key. The most important thing is that you have a future while you are alive.”

The topic is heavy.

When it got dark, the panting old horse finally pulled the carriage to the market. Under the reluctant eyes of the girl on the carriage, Bai Falcon jumped out of the carriage holding the "Sword of Life-breaking". Although his vitality was among the elves, They belong to the strongest group, but they will still get hungry if they don't eat for a long time, and the taste is not pleasant.

The father and daughter on the carriage were delivering barrels of wine bought from the desert area to the stalls to earn a small profit, not much, but enough to live on.

After groping around for a long time, he took out a few coins and fished out the silver moon from the body. Bai Falcon sat by the fire in the market and ate with a group of people.

A rare selling method in the market, the woman hoists an iron pot, stews soup and vegetables, and then bakes hot bread over a charcoal fire. Those who want to eat come and sit around the stove. After paying, they are given a cup of soup and meat. There are vegetables, the price is affordable, and you can fill up your stomach. Although the salt is not very fine, it has a strong salty taste. It is best for people who have been tired for a day to take a bite.

After eating, some people whistled and started singing.

People's visual acuity decreases at night, and it's still early and no one can sleep.

It is also a kind of fate for people from all over the world to gather together and sing a few songs together to have fun. If it can make people angry, don't ask me who I am. I don't care where you come from. It's wonderful to be happy.

"Hahahaha!"

There was a lot of noise there, which interrupted Bai Falcon's singing. To be fair, the singing was pretty good, but he was a little irritable because he resisted anything that could make him happy.

"Who is that over there?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Didn't you see that flag?"

"noble?"

"You don't even know about porcupine?"

"Have you ever heard of it? Is it famous?"

"Then don't live in Lurea anymore, you porcupine, you stole the queen!"

"Is that Queen Orianna?"

"Shit, she's the queen of Queen Orianna's son!"

"You mean, the king has changed?"

"You are so well-informed. Bol II died, and George C. King Jr. became the king. He was scared away without even covering his butt to warm the throne!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"I lied to you, I had a split pee!"

"You're already bifurcated. You're really lying to me."

Listening to the nonsense of several people in his ears, Bai Falcon remained expressionless. Based on his experience, he could easily tell that neither of them knew the truth, and it was all hearsay.Regardless of whether he is a porcupine or a queen, he has nothing to do with White Falcon. He just wants to be in a daze after eating. He looks up at the sky. In the dark night, the stars have not yet begun to appear, but the moon has already squeezed out. Most of the round ass.

There were also whispered exchanges in the distance.

"Urti, how's it going?"

"It's just that the horse's stomach has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, but it's not a big problem."

"What's the world like outside? Are you still trying to save money to buy a house?"

"Nonsense, you don't want to?"

"I want to, but I can't save any money. As the saying goes: Once you're used to the world, you can't hold your legs together."

"Bah, disgusting!"

"Hahahaha!"

Various noises and chatter can be heard from time to time. There are only about six or seventy people in the small market. There are no houses, only tents. This is a fixed market location. There will be a market at a specific time, and it usually lasts. Over the past few days, Bai Falcon had heard this news unknowingly.

Bai Falcon walked up the hillside with his sword in his arms. The sounds in his ears became farther and farther away. Finally, he found a big tree far away from the market. He could no longer hear the chatter and laughter of strangers coming and going below. He leaned his head against it. The tree trunk turned around and looked down, and could see several bonfires and figures that were barely visible in the moonlight.

Frogs croaked and cicadas chirped, and the breeze blew the leaves off.

It’s July, the hottest time of summer.

Bai Falcon held his sword and leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

He hoped that he would not have that dream again, at least not for a short time. It was too torturous.

"what!"

Screams rang in my ears.

Bai Falcon frowned and his long pointed ears twitched slightly.

"Kill, get out!"

"do not move!"

"Come on!"

"Damn it, who are these people?"

"Porcupine, help, it's a porcupine! We were wrong!"

When Bai Falcon opened his eyes, he found that there was a lot of fire under the hillside. A group of people who looked like bandits were screaming and running away. Behind them, a group of cavalry on fast horses rushed up and struck with a long sword. One human head and nearly a hundred bandits were like a glass of water poured into a large fire pit, disappearing without a trace in an instant, even making the fire burn hotter and brighter.

The soldiers, known as porcupines, easily annihilated the late-night invading enemies.

The shouting stopped, and the people in the market began to deal with the battlefield. The matter was basically wrapped up by the Porcupine Soldiers. They captured the only two survivors and learned that this group of people had been implicated in the war south by Earl White Dragon and had no way out. A group of people had no choice but to become bandits.

Some people enjoy the fruits of victory, while others have to bear the consequences of war. The person who caused all this does not need to be held responsible, but those who have nothing to do with it will live in exile.

The greatest fairness in the world is unfairness.

The sky is bright.

Bai Falcon stood in the crowd holding his sword. Some people were celebrating their survival after the disaster, while others were mourning and crying for their relatives and friends who were killed by the damn bandits.

The bandits were forced into desperation. They didn't want themselves and their children to starve to death, so they had no choice but to kill others. The businessmen and travelers were equally innocent. They just stayed here for one night.

Bai Falcon looked at the porcupine caravan. After questioning everyone present, they gathered the unclaimed bodies together, gathered firewood and prepared to burn them.

It's summer, and plague can easily breed if the corpses are not handled properly. There are hundreds of corpses. It sounds like they have to follow certain rules when they go out.

In the pile of corpses, Bai Falcon was not surprised to see the corpses of the father and daughter in the carriage. The man had his eyes closed and obviously died in his dream, but the girl's left eye widened with a look of horror on her face. The reason why she said this was because of her The right side of his face was smashed with an axe.

Bai Falcon said to himself: "Only when you are alive can you have a future."

At dawn, with a fire, no one may come to this market for a while from now on.

People in the market are like strangers, going north and south, going their own way.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Falcon couldn't figure out which way to go, so he walked in a random direction. Just go forward. There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

……

Horse City, as the most concentrated cavalry training base in Li Qi's territory, is also the largest war horse training base. It has lost its multi-functional role as a castle and is only used as a simple breeding farm and training location.

After taking complete control of the desert area, the first thing Li Qi did was to divide functions.

Of course there is no problem in developing each territory independently, but it requires too many talents and too many resources, and they are not centralized. On the contrary, those who grow spices can grow spices with peace of mind, those who train horses can concentrate on training horses, and those who make wine can make wine obediently, integrating all regions , all the territories under the handle are regarded as an organ of the body, and they cooperate with each other. In a short time, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

When fully developed in the future, the territory will inevitably move towards urbanization, and Li Qi's general direction is also very clear, which is to develop towards the level of a royal city, so that each territory has the level of a royal city and can easily house tens of thousands of people. , but it is definitely not possible at this stage.

At this time, Li Qi was sitting in a closed backyard in Mama City.

Hippogriff and Rocket curiously approached Li Qi and looked at the 10 eggs on the ground with him.

"This is your child." Li Qi pointed at Rocket and said, "How do you feel about becoming a father?"

Rocket is only two years old. If Li Qi hadn't encouraged him to grow up, he would still be a foal now.

"Cuckoo" Rocket leaned over curiously, as if he was planning to use his eagle's beak to peck open the eggshell and release the little guy inside.

But Li Qi reached out and pinched him.

The Hippogriff, whose strength was once comparable to Li Qi's, was now pinched. He put his front paws on the ground and pulled it out with all his strength, but Li Qi's hand was as if it was made of iron, holding it firmly. Can't move at all.

The aggrieved Rocket could only look at Li Qi with pleading eyes.

"Be honest," Li Qi said, letting go of his hand, "I still expect you to train these little guys."

Rocket nodded hurriedly, using his attitude to ensure that he would never cause trouble.

Kaka-!
A Hippogriff egg suddenly trembled, and even the happy rocket stopped cautiously and looked at the trembling egg shell.

Click!

The eggshell shattered, and an ugly little guy with long hair broke through the eggshell and crawled out staggeringly.

"Haha, Rocket, you look the same as when you first emerged from the shell. Look how ugly you are!" Li Qi laughed.

Rocket yelled at Li Qi twice, then lowered his head in front of the little guy, tilted his head and gently nudged the newborn baby Hippogriff with his cheek, pushing the little guy who was already unsteady on his feet. He stumbled to the ground.

"Cuckoo!"

"Haha, you bastard!"

Li Qi has long been accustomed to Rocket's little moves. After all, it is not really an adult yet. Although it has a high IQ, it is still playful and has a childish temper. Maybe this is also the affectionate behavior in the Hippogriff's blood.

The eggs that were laid almost on the same day seemed to have been agreed to be broken together today. As Li Qi and Rocket waited expectantly, it took them a whole day to break the eggshells, and all 10 young eagles hatched successfully. ,Safe Production.

They chirped and circled around Li Qi, apparently understanding who was the master and whose lap they should hug.

Rocket's attitude towards the little guys is also very average, but Li Qi loves him very much. Just like Rocket in the past, he was so cute when he was a child, but he started to be annoying when he grew up.

"Does it mean that male Hippogriffs don't have the habit of taking care of their young?" This was the only way he could explain.

Anyway, when the 10 little Hippogriffs break out of their shells, the Rockets won't take care of them, but they can take care of themselves. Wasn't the Rockets trained by themselves in the first place?

Li Qi immediately arranged the food for the little Hippogriffs. He was afraid that the food would not be replenished, so he did not dare to add many rare medicinal materials.

This is a carefully selected and excellent mare with a strong body. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary horse, it would be impossible to get pregnant. Even if it gets pregnant and barely gives birth, it is hard to say whether the thing that breaks the shell can be called a hippogriff. .

"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's come up with names for these little guys."

"Cuckoo"

What Rocket means is that I can’t speak it anyway, and I can’t understand it, so you can do whatever you want.

"Haha, of course, the names I chose are all meaningful."

Li Qi casually grabbed a little Hippogriff and said, "You can call it a missile. It sounds like it will be faster and more powerful!"

He grabbed another one: "Your name is Agni!"

"You call me Scud"

"Your name is Zhan Ax"

"Your name……"

"..."

"..."

Ten series, exactly ten names, Li Qi was very satisfied.

He turned his head and looked at Rocket, who wanted to come over to play with him, and then said something serious that made the Hippogriff's legs weak: "It's all up to you to carry on the family line, Rocket. Stay a little longer, and next year I will have a company of Hippogriffs." .”

"Gu Gu!" Rocket whined and lay on the ground, his legs weak.
