Lord of Rot

Chapter 58 Mercenaries
The door was knocked softly.

"My lord, I am Duck Flippers." The voice outside the door was a little excited: "I will be your personal servant."

From the first male servant to the noble's personal servant, it is not only a huge improvement in status, but in the future, if the nobles you serve make great achievements and own territories, you may also become a housekeeper.

Kelan frowned, and didn't allow anyone to come in: "You should rest first, I have something to call you."

"Yes"

It was quiet outside the door, and Kelan sighed. He was like a bird trapped in a cage, and he couldn't spread any news.

the other side,
The body of Kelan's valet had been arranged to be delivered quietly to Li Qi.

The slave who was in charge of transporting the corpse looked at the baron holding the torch, and then at the little giant behind the baron, his heart trembled slightly. The other party stood completely outside the illuminated range of the torch, leaving only a tall, dark figure.

Thinking of the rumors about a powerful team under the lord's hands, and looking at the little giant in the darkness, he didn't dare to think carefully at the moment.

The slaves retreated immediately.

"Very good." Li Qi looked at the corpse, the heart was pierced, and he wanted to kill him with one blow.

The little giant bent down and grabbed the leg of the corpse with one hand, and followed Li Qi away.

In the dark cave.

The coffin lid flung open.

Along with the picture, a memory flooded into his mind.

This was a chat, and he himself substituted Corran Fossac's "personal servant".

Oh, valet.

In his memory, he was wearing a set of leather armor with a mercenary badge on his chest. There were also a group of people in front of him, both men and women, and everyone was fully armed.

"I've seen that bear skin, it's indeed a monster."

He couldn't tell which one was speaking, because the "personal servant" didn't look at the speaker, maybe he could tell who it was, but Li Qi just entered this memory suddenly, so he just listened blankly.

"I saw silver hair, in the south." It was a woman who spoke this time, not tall.

Just mentioning the silver hair, the breathing of everyone present became tense.

The woman continued: "They say their companions are going in this direction"

"What the silver-haired weirdo said must be true, the treasure in the labyrinth is there!"

"I've investigated." This time it was Li Qi himself who spoke, that is, the "personal servant" he substituted in his memory. The other party said: "That is a baron's territory, it is very closed, and the other party seems to have a very A strong hidden army, we are not his opponents, it is best not to let him discover our purpose."

"How to do?"

"Find a way to sneak in, and then search slowly."

"It's a good idea."

"Let me go." Li Qi said "by himself", "You guys pay attention outside, I will leave a mark."

The eyes went dark, and the last picture was a mark.

Li Qi opened his eyes.

From the "personal servant", in addition to this memory, he also acquired the skill of using a two-handed sword, but the skill is much worse than that of his dead teacher. Hand sword skills are above average, so this mercenary's skills are also below average.

"In other words, this group of mercenaries didn't know how to cooperate with Becky Simon, and then came to the castle to investigate? No, no, if there is any treasure in the labyrinth and crypt, Baron Spark's army would have killed it long ago."

Li Qi will not doubt the nobles' instinct to pursue profit. Of course, Baron Sparks, who is rich in profits every few days, does not want to be notorious for it, but if it is a priceless treasure, the other party will definitely find various reasons to declare war and then occupy it. Own porcupine collar.

"Becky shouldn't know, and Corran shouldn't know either."

He had some headaches. He thought it was just a problem with the small pills, but he didn't expect to attract a group of hyenas.

This group of people came to look for the crypt because of the flame bear's skin.

"From that memory, the appearance of the crypt was not because of me. Could it be that there will always be various mazes and crypts in this world? There should be a more scientific, no, more magical way to explain it, just like the land dwellers !" Li Qi suffers from the lack of information he can get, and cannot understand the whole picture of the matter.

It can be guessed that a part of the underground civilization is hidden, and it is likely to appear in the sight of ordinary people with the tide of magic.

This group of things will disappear with the decline of magic, and will appear again because of the emergence of magic.

The porcupine leader walked in the direction of Pig's Spine Valley. The dense forest was too big, and Li Qi couldn't search it thoroughly.

However, the other party said that because of the "silver hair", it is certain that the treasure is in the porcupine collar, which means that there is a great possibility that the porcupine collar has a third crypt.

"Is it related to that silver steel sword?"

According to legend, the silver steel sword has the magical power to kill monsters, and it was discovered in the griffin's lair. There are too many coincidences.

He even boldly guessed that the griffin might have come out of the third crypt!
"You guys have to search quietly, but I don't need it." Li Qi smiled: "This is my territory!"

Regardless of whether he is real or not, in his own territory, search directly.

The next day, Grant received a strange order to clean up the dense forest near Porcupine Collar to wipe out the beasts.

Hundreds of people scattered out, and when they returned in the evening, they brought rabbits, wolves, bird eggs, snakes and other trophies.

The baron is also very generous, everyone's harvest is bought by him, and after collecting the fur, the baron directly distributes the meat to everyone. Although it is not much, everyone can smash some meat.

The people thanked the lord for his kindness and were full of energy.

Still the same on the third day.

Fourth day.

Day [-].

Because almost all the beasts have been wiped out, the number of people involved is slowly decreasing.

The excavation of diversion channels is also important.

Eight days have passed.

Coran Fossac was getting more and more lazy, and there was a personal servant accompanying him to serve him. He had nothing to do, and Joe hadn't returned, so he couldn't contact the outside world at all.

The valet bestowed by the Baron was like a nail stuck beside him, and Colan dared not say he was dissatisfied.

Today, Li Qi invited Kelan to come out to play, and Kelan excused himself from feeling unwell to rest in the room.

In the upper reaches of the river, the waterwheel is pushed and turned by the current.

Different from the waterwheel in the water mill, the watering waterwheel scoops water every time it rolls, and the water flows into the canal through the wooden grooved pipe made by the carpenter for people to plant and water.

The emergence of water canals has greatly saved the labor consumed in carrying water. Although it is only in its infancy at present, it has been able to save a part of the labor of each family.

The saved part of the labor was arranged by Li Qi to explore the dense forest.

Riding on horseback, Li Qi watched the waterwheel turn slowly.

The children laughed.

"Manure farming is only part of it. It is best to find a scholar who is good at studying plants"

Others may be very satisfied with the harvest of the farmland, but Li Qi is not very satisfied. He plans to use "magic" means to study genetic modification.

Since magic is said to be able to create a big tree in an instant, it should be no problem to use magic to make the ears of wheat fuller and thicker.

Magic is not used for farming, it is a waste!

"grown ups"

A figure came running staggeringly, it was the lame Ake's son.

"Ackley, what's wrong?"

"We found a very large entrance to the underground palace, very large!" Akeli gestured: "It's right at the headland of Pig's Ridge Valley and the seaside!"
