Lord of Rot

Chapter 583 She is really Clarence (6K)

Li Qi calmly pulled out a chair and introduced: "This is Lisu Mama, the Fairy Princess Sophia, the Pearl of the Desert."

It was as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Ellie, who was holding the plate, was shocked, and an electric current flashed through her mind.

This is... soft rice but hard to eat!
Pretending to know nothing, you are worthy of being a lord, but the drop of sweat on your cheek gives you away, my lord!
Seeing Lisu, who was snatched away by Stacy and Leonie and forced to sit down opposite Li Qi, still struggling, Ellie sighed in her heart.

Miss Red and Blue, you have more and more opponents. It seems that they have already eaten up the lord from top to bottom, but you are still just talking on paper. This is not okay!

The wind stops and thunder breaks.

Li Qi asked Li Su about the Battle of Endor in an unobtrusive manner. As long as I don't panic, everything has nothing to do with me.

But one thing he was sure of, he would sleep alone tonight.

Regarding Lisu, everyone present knew about her existence.

The daughter of a small lord in the desert area, Li Qi single-handedly took the position of Princess Sophia and helped her control the entire desert.

On the surface, she is the controller of the desert area, but secretly everyone knows that she is the spokesperson promoted by Li Qi.

Moreover, Li Qi also gave her the important task of attacking Enduo, which was not an ordinary trust.

If it were Leonie and Stacie who were Li Qi, if he had given Lisu so many benefits, he would never let her go. It would be safest to bring her into the house and become her real one.

The way nobles think, it is hard to avoid interests.

There was a great atmosphere at the dinner table.

Lisu kept trying to sneak away to Li Qi's side. Her only target when she came back was Li Qi, and the others were not important at all.

She thinks very clearly. It doesn't matter whether it's fighting for favor or snatching and dividing interests. As long as she follows Li Qi, she will get everything.

However, she was "inadvertently" stopped by Stacie again and again.

Leonie concentrated on cooking, and arcs of electricity exploded in her cheeks when she was happy.

"Today's dishes all taste average."

Li Qi put down his chopsticks.

It tastes like chewing wax!

It looks harmonious, but in fact it is so cold that it is impossible to eat this meal!

Li Qi happened to see Yilin coming with little Leard who had woken up. He immediately stood up and said, "Come on, let's go out for a walk. Yilin come over for dinner and leave little Leard to me."

Yilin was sluggish as Li Qi held her shoulders and sat on the chair that was pulled away, watching little Lild being snatched away.

Her neck was stiff, and she looked around the table of women with difficulty. She swallowed nervously and wailed in her heart: "Why are you leaving me here! I'm just passing by!"

……

That day, the goal of taking Leonie around the Iron Valley was stranded for various reasons. Li Qi was free. He was currently concentrating on chatting with the Brass Dragon.

The strange object [Brass Dragon] has a complete sense of autonomy and often talks about the land of dragons.

"Where is the Land of Dragons?" Li Qi pressed his index finger on its tail.

The brass dragon flapped its wings vigorously but could not fly.

"Let me go!" The Brass Dragon turned his head, and his breath as big as a lighter flame burned on Li Qi's fingers.

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged and he watched it struggle quietly. With this little temperature, it was not enough to heat him up.

Seeing that the counterattack was useless, the Brass Dragon could only shout at the top of his lungs: "I don't know the land of dragons! The place you mentioned does not exist in this world."

"It seems you really know!" Li Qi asked excitedly: "Are there any living dragons? Where can I get dragon eggs? Tell me how to get there, otherwise... you know, Rocket now has a group of children, all of whom are Jun Eagles, they are particularly interested in small things that cannot be eaten."

"Delusion, delusion! Dragons are born noble, and I will never be threatened by you!" the brass dragon said with an inward look.

Li Qi had no choice but to say in an insinuating way: "Do you know Carlo Deri?"

"Hmph, a mere sub-dragon wants to become a real dragon, ha!" When the Brass Dragon heard Carlo Deri's name, his whole face immediately showed a look of disdain: "Is it still alive?"

"Yes." Li Qi nodded and said seriously: "Lie down there and sleep in the lava under the giant's feet."

In fact, he was also very surprised. First of all, Calodri did not have the inheritance of the dragon, did not know the location of the so-called dragon land, and could not even understand the dragon language. He could only memorize the prophecy as a spell and force it to remember.

Calodri is unaware of the Brass Dragon's existence.

But the brass dragon knew Calodri.

The Brass Dragon said disdainfully: "Hmph, the older you get, the more useless you become. It's a shame for the dragon clan."

Li Qi pinched the brass dragon's tail and raised it to eye level, staring at its squirming body: "The Land of Dragons, isn't it in this material plane?"

"Hahaha, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"Sure enough, no wonder you said you are not in this world." Li Qi nodded and said as if he suddenly remembered: "Maybe you don't know, but now a white dragon appears in the north. He attacked the royal city, drove the king away, and then Fight with me."

"White dragon? Is it Habakak's stupid dragon? It's not dead?!"

Seeing that the Brass Dragon confirmed the identity of the White Dragon in an instant, Li Qi couldn't help but ask: "Does your dragon clan have very few dragons, so you all know each other?"

The black dragon Duo has not seen other dragons since he hatched, and the fire dragon Carlo Deri is just a sub-dragon, none of which can provide Li Qi with effective information.

"Of course not! It's just that you said there is a white dragon who is willing to be driven by humans. I can only think of Habakak's stupid dragon."

"Tell me about it?" Li Qi became interested.

According to the Brass Dragon, there are no living dragons in Dragon Land. If you are lucky enough to pick up the corpse...

"A stupid dragon, a shame for dragons." The brass dragon mentioned the white dragon Habakak with disdain: "As long as someone gives him something to eat, he will work for humans and is even willing to sign a contract. He thinks he is smart but he will always be led by humans. His nose was gone, he was tempted to do hard work, and for a dragon, he was too thin even for a white dragon.”

"Shame on dragons!" the brass dragon added.

Li Qi was curious: "Why do you think only Habakak can survive?"

"Because he is very timid and is a faithless person who will not hesitate to betray his oath and contract as long as he encounters the slightest danger!"

"So that's it." Li Qi recalled his battle with the white dragon Habakak. The opponent did run away very simply because he might be injured, without any sense of shame as a giant dragon but being repelled by the Yalong.

Li Qi and Brass Dragon struggled for a while, but they really couldn't get anything out of him. When the critical moment came, the other party started to pretend to be stupid, even if it threatened life and death.

If it weren't for the fact that he could only control the corpse and not be able to refine the memory of the rare object, he would have taken action against the Brass Dragon.

This guy seems to have a great role, but he only plays the role of gossip.

"Zui Na is back too." Li Qi held up the brass dragon and shook it: "Throw it to her to study, and you should be able to get something useful."

It's time to sleep.

Li Qi left the study and found the maid Ai Li standing at the door nodding and dozing off.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ai Li woke up with a start: "S-Sir!"

"Well, I'll go back and rest." Li Qi nodded.

"Which room are you going to?" Ellie asked carefully.

Li Qi looked at her doubtfully: "Of course I'm looking for Stacie."

Ellie said with a difficult expression: "Mrs. Stacie said...she wants to rest alone tonight."

"Then find me a room," Li Qi said, "I'll go and rest by myself. By the way, is Marlene in Iron Valley?"

"Huh? Oh! No, Ms. Marlene didn't come."

There are many free rooms in the castle, so there is no need to worry about not being able to live in them.

Because of the incident in the Land of Dragons, Li Qi's thoughts were all about getting the body of a real giant dragon, so he naturally put aside those harem fights. In other words, he only married Stacie, Lisu was his little lover, and the other three and himself But it doesn't matter.

Li Qi slept very comfortably.

Sleeping and dreaming is a good time to reminisce about life on earth. Unfortunately, 'Dreamer' Marlene is not around. Li Qi originally wanted to play computer games for a while. Before the time travel, he was almost sick from playing, but after the time travel, he could only play in his dreams.

The next day, when I met several people at breakfast, I found that they had a harmonious relationship with each other, as if yesterday's storm was just an illusion.

Only Lisu looked dissatisfied. She wanted to touch Li Qi's room last night, but found that she couldn't leave her room at all.

No matter how vigilant Stacie is, Li Qi, as a lord, must take Leonie for a stroll in Iron Valley.

This is also the main reason why Leonie made a special trip to learn Li Qi's advanced management knowledge.

The two were riding horses, half strolling and half chatting.

There was also a pair of soldiers behind him, which had no protective effect, but could prove the identity of Li Qi and others, letting people know that the big shot was coming from a long distance away.

"Iron Wall Fort is currently not open to people other than senior managers, and basically everyone has been moved out."

"There is a small brick kiln, a blacksmith shop, a bakery, a tavern, etc. in front of the small market, where people from the Giant's Foot and Iron Valley people live together."

"Then let's go and take a look first." Leonie became interested. She also wanted to know from her own words how Li Qi's territory was better than Giant's Foot.

Li Qi sighed and said to himself: "Prince Hoffman came down to earth and asked in person. It's strange that they dare to say that the giant's feet are bad."

He felt that he needed to take Hoffman to dream with him, and then read "Kangxi's Private Interview in Private Service" in his dream.

……

Ella Clarence took her daughter and left in embarrassment.

The penniless mother and daughter had a very hard time.

Working here requires identification. Tie Gu seems to be tolerant, but without identification it is impossible to find a job.

On the first day, Ella went to apply for identification, but there was a problem with her name. She said her surname was Clarence. They didn't believe it at all, and they were unwilling to help her pass the news to the castle, or they said they had no right to enter. Iron wall fort.

After being hungry for a day, a blacksmith saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, so he gave them half a piece of bread.

You can't beg for bread every day, and you will still be hungry the next day.

Aila's parents are businessmen, and she has never been hungry since she was a child. Her daughter is also young in autumn and will cry whenever she is hungry.

The mother and daughter hid and went to pick up some food outside the tavern, barely holding on.

Moreover, she also met a group of people who also had no identity documents. They were either deprived of their resident status because of their criminal records, but they sneaked back here reluctantly, or they were unable to obtain resident status at all for various reasons.

Inside, there was a group of people who said that there was a place where they could make money. They, a group of people without status, were also very popular in Iron Valley.

There is a minimum salary limit for people with resident status, but there is no bottom line for people without status. Just give them to those who stutter.

Aila took her children with her and went to work that day. Unexpectedly, just after working for half a day, the guards came, dispersed them all, and arrested the private workers.

Her half-day's work was wasted, and she didn't get back a morsel of bread.

Ella's desire to obtain resident status became stronger and stronger. Finally, Ella met a mysterious man at an intersection. The man said that he could help her obtain resident status. The castle would even recruit new maids in a few days. Ella looked like Beautiful, very likely to be chosen.

Enter the castle!
A temptation that Ella couldn't refuse.

But the other party wanted three silver moons. Seeing that Ella couldn't get them, he pointed out a "clear way" to her. The lord did not allow brothels to exist, but he could not prohibit women from standing on the streets to solicit business on their own.

With her daughter still by her side, it was impossible for Ella to do such a job that would cost her dignity.

However, despair eroded with various things such as not having enough to eat, children crying from hunger, being down and dirty, etc. Ella could no longer remember how long it had been since she had had a full meal.

In the past, she would never have been in such a predicament because of three silver moons.

I heard that if you do it once, you will get 1 silver month. If you do it three times and earn enough money to buy a resident status, you can live a good life with your daughter.

No, maybe we can do it one more time and save one more silver moon, which can improve the lives of mother and daughter.

Today, she made up her mind, not only for her own poor dignity, but also for the sake of her daughter who was too hungry to cry.

Boom!

Suddenly a thunder flashed across the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

The news was like wings, and soon spread to the ears of everyone in the small market. It turned out that it was Prince Hoffman with giant feet who came to Iron Valley as a guest. She could transform into thunder and fly in the sky, as terrifying as a god.

Some people with giant feet also kept saying that they had heard stories and legends about Prince Hoffman, further exaggerating his strength.Aila was not interested in either thunder or heavenly punishment. She just heard Li Qi coming out to greet them in person.

In other words, Li Qi has now come to Iron Valley!
……

Tavern.

Aila took her daughter and pushed the door open and walked in. The maid in the tavern had a headache when she saw her. She came over and whispered to persuade: "You go and wait outside. I will leave some leftovers for you, but don't let the boss see it, otherwise you won't be here again." Thinking about it."

"Your chef is from Iron Wall Castle, right?" Ella asked eagerly.

"Yes." The tavern maid nodded: "He is grilling meat for the lord in the castle. We have so many guests in the tavern just for his barbecue. They want to eat the same food as the lord."

"He can definitely help me see the Lord. Please let me see him once!"

The tavern maid sighed: "Don't say that he is not allowed to go back after leaving the castle. That's the lord, and he can't meet him in person. I heard that he only saw the lord from a distance, but the lord Don’t know him at all.”

"My real surname is Clarence!" Ella grabbed the maid's hand: "Please, help me meet the lord!"

The two of them were making a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of the tavern owner.

The boss came out of the kitchen. When he saw Ella, his whole face changed color: "You're a lunatic again!"

Everyone in the small market knows that a crazy mother and daughter came recently. The woman said all day long that her surname was Clarence and that she was the wife of the lord's brother.

"Throw her out!" The boss waved his hand.

After all, the people in the tavern did not embarrass the poor mother and daughter, but the boss violently pushed them out. Aila fell to the ground without being able to stand, but she did not have the strength to stand up again.

Suddenly she heard someone in the distance discussing excitedly: "The Lord and Prince Hoffman are here, let's go over and have a look!"

"what!"

Ella looked up sharply.

Her body burst out with strength, and she rushed toward the crowd with her daughter Qiu in her arms...

People gathered on both sides of the street.

Reacher rode on horseback chatting with the woman walking side by side, followed by hussars with terrifying knights.

The hussars are the elite of the lord. The guards who maintain the small market and the guards guarding the castle gates all respect and fear the hussars.

"Give way, give way!" Aila hugged the child and squeezed in hard, finally squeezing onto the road.

……

"Giant's Foot is really better than Iron Valley?" Leonie was obviously confused.

Li Qi: "..."

Just now, Leonie asked several workers from Giant Foot. After they recognized Leonie, they were very excited and "told the truth" and praised Giant Foot to the sky.

"You can only get the answer you want by changing your identity," Li Qi explained helplessly. She had zero experience in dealing with people.

"why?"

"Because they are afraid of your identity, and they are afraid that if the Giant's Foot is not as good as Iron Valley, you will do something to them."

"Why do you dare to say that?" Leonie looked at Li Qi.

"Because I'm not afraid of you doing anything to me."

Leonie's cheeks exploded with arcs of electricity, her face looking eager to try.

"Don't squeeze, hey!" There was a sudden commotion ahead.

Amidst the shouting and cursing, a down-and-out woman rushed into the street with a little girl in her arms and fell to the ground.

"I am Aila! Lord Li Qi!" The woman used all her strength.

"Ella?"

Li Qi pressed one hand on the saddle, jumped up and flew a dozen steps away, and then landed lightly in front of the mother and daughter.

"Why are you here?"

Li Qi met his brother Leo's wife once and remembered her deeply.

The feeling that they were brothers who were destined to be unable to trust each other was still fresh in Li Qi's memory.

He helped Ella up, then lifted the little girl up and held her in his arms.

"Me!" Ella threw herself into Li Qi's arms. The hardships she suffered along the way, separation from her lover, the death of her parents, the despair after being penniless, and the decision to give up her dignity, etc., made her unable to restrain herself any longer: "Wow!"

All she wanted to do was cry.

Cry loudly and cry out all the grievances with tears.

Even the little girl was affected and cried together.

Li Qi patted Ella's back gently. Although he didn't know what happened to her, he could still feel her grievance.

It wasn't until she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't breathe that she finally stopped.

Leonie looked at Li Qi, and then at the mother and daughter in his arms, with a very strange expression, as if to say: You actually have a child!

"This is my brother's wife!" Li Qi quickly explained.

Leonie nodded. Based on her understanding of Li Qi, it was indeed impossible for her woman to suffer. Whenever her woman was in trouble, she would rush forward.

She was suddenly startled, remembering that she seemed to have been helped by Li Qiyi many times without any hesitation and without asking for anything in return.

Li Qi glanced at Leonie several times.

Don't guess what a woman is thinking. One moment she looks unhappy, and the next moment she suddenly blushes and becomes shy. Even the gods can't guess.

"Okay" Li Qi patted Ella's back gently and said comfortingly: "Come back to the castle with me, eat something first, and then have a good rest. We can talk about anything later."

"Yeah!" Ella sniffed and nodded.

"What's her name?" Li Qi looked at the sleeping little girl, who looked more like Ella.

Fortunately, he didn't inherit Leo's appearance. Although Leo is not ugly, he is much worse than Ela. It would be a bit miserable for a girl with his face.

Ella smiled and said: "Autumn, Autumn Clarence, over one year old."

Without Li Qi's instructions, someone had already arrived in the carriage.

Also accompanying him was a maid.

The maid took the initiative to take Qiu, who was being held by Li Qi, and carried her into the carriage.

"Brother, there is one more thing I want to do." Aila looked at Li Qi.

……

The tavern owner suddenly heard bad news. The woman he kicked out turned out to be a member of the Clarence family.

She is the wife of the lord's younger brother.

But the lord himself admitted it, and there was absolutely no way he could make a mistake.

"It's over, it's over!"

The tavern owner scratched his hair in distress.

The other party had already stated his identity from the beginning, but no one believed him. This was not his fault. The law does not hold everyone accountable, and the lord must also be reasonable.

But thinking back on what he had done, the tavern owner couldn't help but be afraid.

Not only did he not offer any help, he also forbade his men to give him leftovers.

The most important thing was that he violently pushed her out and made her fall to the ground.

Using violence against nobles and insulting nobles is a capital offense.

No one felt sorry for him, everyone was laughing at his jokes.

"Let's go, let's all go." The tavern owner waved his hand to chase people away: "Come here and get your money. I've caused you to lose your jobs. Please give everyone an extra month's salary."

People are going to die, so what’s the point of making money.

After dividing the money and driving everyone out the door, the tavern owner went to the kitchen, picked up a knife, and wanted to commit suicide.

But he was afraid of knives and pain. The last time he cut his finger, it hurt for several days.

I wanted to hang myself, but it was too painful, so I thought about it for a while and gave up.

The tavern owner sat on the ground alone, holding his head.

"Bang bang!" The door was knocked.

The voice of the maid who had been kicked out of the tavern came from outside: "Ms. Ella is here, open the door quickly."

"Ah? It's coming! It's coming!" The boss raised his head.

When he opened the door, everyone who saw his face was startled.

In just a short while, the tavern owner became haggard, bloodshot, and his lips turned white, looking like he was about to die.

"Ella, sir..."

Ella looked at the tavern owner and said, "You made me fall!"

"Yes, yes..." The tavern owner lowered his head.

"Come here!" Ella pointed.

The tavern owner obediently stood where Ella was pointing.

Then Ella kicked the tavern owner in the calf.

"Ouch!" The boss cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Ella stepped on her feet again, then without saying a word, she strode onto the carriage and drove away.

The tavern owner who was kicked three times was stunned.

"Finished?" He was pleasantly surprised. Although his legs were still very painful and Aila had definitely kicked her with all his strength, the tavern owner was not angry at all.

On the contrary, after being kicked three times by Aila, his anxious heart finally calmed down.

"It's over!" He said with a smile this time.

"Hahahaha! It's over!"

Tavern maid: "Is the boss crazy?"

"You all come back!" the tavern owner said, "No need to close the door, haha, it's over! Keep doing business."

Although they didn't understand what happened, they were very happy. The job in the tavern was easy and the salary was not low. It was a good job. It was difficult to find a similar job in a short time.

"By the way, the money I gave you just now..." the tavern owner rubbed his hands: "Can you give it back?"

"I want to find a new job." The tavern maid raised her chin.

"Then give me the money first~"

Due to the episode of Ella's appearance, Li Qi and Leonie's inspection trip had to be put on hold.

Leonie walked side by side with Li Qi, looked back at the carriage and said, "She is very kind."

"Yeah" Li Qi nodded: "It's reassuring...it's Clarence after all, haha."

If Aila leaves the tavern owner regardless of the situation, the tavern owner will live in endless fear for accidentally insulting the nobles. He doesn’t know how Aila, who has gained power, will take revenge. Then he will have trouble sleeping and eating, and will slowly go to extremes. Will be scared to death.

But after Aila punished him, the other person's heart fell to the ground.

Even in difficult situations, he maintains a bottom line of kindness, and he also has the means to do so. Having both of these things is truly commendable.
