Lord of Rot

Chapter 637 Your emperor is back
Lurea continent, the first line of defense port in the desert.

The sky-high city wall blocks the setting sun in the west. The sunlight spreading on the golden sand outside the city burns your feet, but kerosene lamps have been lit inside the city to clear away the blinding darkness of the evening.

Miss 'Hybrid Eye Blue' wears an ankle-length pleated dress that is blue on the outside and purple on the inside. The skirt support makes the whole skirt more fluffy.

Wearing a steel-maned white bear coat, he stood on the city wall as high as a mountain and looked at the port.

There are two ways to get to the city wall.

The first method is to take the elevator. After Li Qi's expedition to the southern continent, scholars are realizing his ideas one by one.

The second one is flying up on a dragon.

The height is not cold.

She tightened her coat tightly to block the cold wind blowing from the bottom up. Although the artificially bred steel-maned white bear was gradually leaving its orthodox bloodline and only had minimal characteristics of Warcraft, its fur was definitely good for keeping out the cold.

She looked at the harbor in the distance. The sun, dyed golden by the sand, was entangled at the horizon, using its last ray of light to tug at the sky, refusing to fall under the sea.

Standing here, she could smell the dryness of the sand and the fishy saltiness of the sea.

The skirt of the aristocratic lady's skirt was folded like waves, and the golden light of the sun wrapped around it reminded 'Eichhornia Blue' of the competition at the ball a few years ago. Her fiancé had been executed, and she was single and could propose, but the young aristocrats But he subconsciously classified her as the Duke of Red Rose, thinking that she was Li Qi's lover.

But this year is a little different. It may be that Li Qi has not appeared for too long. Some newly-adult nobles have forgotten the terror of Li Qi sweeping across the entire continent. They may also think that she really has nothing to do with Li Qi, so she has another suitor.

The Porter family is just a small knight, but Porter has the Queen of the Empire as his friend, and he is also the only outsider who can freely pass through the Dragon Castle.

Even if you don't look at those benefits, just because of her beautiful face and increasingly melancholic temperament as she gets older, she can easily capture a group of men and some women.

The fish jumped out of the water and swung their bodies flexibly, while the seagulls that were already ready to dive dived and squawked, happy that their dinner was there.

"Still not back today." She looked at the coastline, expecting a warship to approach.

Although messages would come back every once in a while, the long distance made the interval between messages extremely long.

Fortunately, I received the news secretly more than a month ago that the war over there was over and I would be back soon.

She saw that her friend Staci was suffering from national affairs, and gave herself the rights that should have belonged to the other party. She also understood what her friend meant and wanted to help her.

Love is always unclear. Some people say it's worth waiting, but some people think it's worth stopping the loss in time. It's difficult for me to give the correct answer. Maybe only when a person closes his eyes before death, he will understand. There are correct answers to your life choices.

The other women also have their own busy affairs.

It is also strange that when Li Qi was still there, he would either spend his days leisurely or study food and games, but it was strange that his territory could develop rapidly. Whether it was the Duke of Dongxia or the Prince of Giant Foot, they all chose to believe in him.

I couldn't see how hard he tried, and things were solved one by one.

But after Li Qi left, the empire was unified and its troops were strong, but there was no change at all in a few years.

It's just that a few more docks were built and a few more cities were built.

It seems that after Li Qi leaves, everyone has to spend more effort to find the direction, and that is often the first thing Li Qi determines in his heart.

In other words, Li Qi seems to know what the world will be like hundreds or even thousands of years from now, so he can always develop in a smooth direction.

Suddenly, a dragon roar came from the distance.

There seemed to be a sound of "Ah, I'm finally free" in the voice. It wasn't that Phoenix Eyes Lan could understand the dragon language, but the grievance in the voice was too obvious.

Her eyes were moist.

The sun, which had been stubborn and refused to set just now, suddenly plunged into the sea at this moment, leaving only the clouds of red light that trembled with the breath like extinguished coals.

"Roar!"

A white dragon tore apart Hongxia, spread out its huge wings, leaned down and rushed down, and suddenly gained altitude after approaching the city wall.

The cold wind coming from the shop made Miss Fengyanlan shiver.

She looked at the figure standing on the dragon's head in surprise, and couldn't hold it any longer, so she took the initiative to pounce on him.

"Is everything okay?" Li Qi seemed to have not expected that the other party would do such a thing in public. He was afraid that it would be harder to suppress the rumors of collecting the corpses of beautiful women and making succubi.

But when I think about it, this is Miss Lan with phoenix eyes. She always does not suppress her emotions like this.

However, Li Qi is also different from before. When he was a young baron, he had to maintain his personality and a good reputation was more important than anything else. But now that he is strong and has a good reputation, he doesn't care about that.

Thinking back carefully, when I first met her, she was still a young girl, and now she is a 21-year-old woman.

In this world, he is considered middle-aged.

He raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently: "I'm back."

"Everything is fine." Feng Yanlan backed away with a red face, but she was happy because Li Qi didn't push her away.

She organized the information in her mind and said, "But something happened in the country, and Stacie is having a headache."

"Go back and talk slowly."

Li Qi's expression did not change.

The lighthouse is lit, and the warship returns from a long journey.

Li Qi only brought back a small number of people this time. The development of Panber Continent requires management and manpower, and the main reason he came back this time was to find the 'Witch' Zyra, who was called "God" by Queen Orianna. woman.

With her technology, I believe it will not be a problem to directly connect the two continents.

Early the next morning, Miss Fengyanlan got up early and saw the young girl being dragged by Li Qi in a chicken-carrying position.

She knew that person, Elf White Deer.

However, the other party's temperament was completely different from when they first met in the royal city. At that time, Bai Lu was capable and serious, as if he had some task that must be completed, but his eyes were full of confusion.

If you think about it carefully, it's like a horse being whipped by a whip, running forward, but not knowing why.

Nowadays, Bailu's whole body is filled with the aura of a little girl, and his relationship with Li Qi is also very close. This kind of natural coquettish state has not been seen even in the two little guys, Little Leard and Qiu.

His blood relatives also maintained a natural respect for Li Qi.

Probably only the court lady named Aike was as good as her.

However, Akeke obviously has an admiration for Li Qi, but the elf girl in front of him only has a closeness of family affection.

"I know, I know." The mother tree drooped her head, letting her collar be lifted up, and she was suspended in the air.

After seeing Phoenix Eyes Blue, Li Qicai threw it on the ground: "It's not that simple to rebuild the elves. Didn't we agree before we came back that we would first choose a good place to plant trees? Today you and Habakak Let’s go around together.”

"Eat breakfast first." Li Qi turned to look at Miss Fengyanlan: "Then we go back to the capital."

From here to the royal capital, if you walk, it will probably take several months. Even if you ride the fastest horse, it will take more than half a month, changing horses all the way.

But from Li Qi's tone, he clearly planned to go to the Royal City for lunch after breakfast.

……

Empire.

Stacy sat on the throne that belonged to the emperor. Sitting here for many years made her queen's aura become more and more tyrannical.

Li Qi, who left just a few days after becoming emperor, was really not as experienced as her.

"Your Majesty!"

The young man with long wavy blond hair and a fair face without beard bowed in a knightly salute with impeccable elegance.

But all Stacie felt was irritation.

Again!
"The honey I sent to the town of Sir Dela was looted by bandits, but the knight I escorted the honey beheaded a man. That person was the second son of Sir Dela!"

The young man shouted loudly: "This is a dirty act that violates the laws of the empire. I beg you to execute Sir Della and let him compensate for my losses!"

Beside him, a knight as strong as an ox held a box in his hand, which contained a human head.

"It's you!" The old Sir Della raised his hand and pointed at the young noble tremblingly: "You want my land, and you deliberately arranged for soldiers to disguise themselves as robbers to frame me! But my Rudis broke through. Their conspiracy, so you kill him first!"

Seeing the two of them quarreling, Stacie said: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to investigate!"

"Your Majesty, I hope to get my son's head back." Sir Della looked pitifully at the figure on the throne: "I will hold a funeral for him, but I don't want him to become a headless horseman." "This is evidence!" The young nobleman did not relent.

Just when the two sides reached a stalemate again, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside.

I haven't heard the roar of a dragon for several years.

It echoed in the hall, but made everyone's expressions change.

Stacie stood up in surprise.

Others, including the knights in the hall and the two nobles who were arguing, all turned to look at the door.

Powerful footsteps were getting closer.

The door was pushed open.

Bang - bang!

All the knights knelt down on one knee, leaning on their weapons, as soon as they saw that figure.

Li Qi Clarence strode forward, followed by Miss Phoenix Eyes Blue, but no one paid attention to her now.

"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!"

The two nobles bent down hard.

Li Qi nodded to Stacie who stood up, and then sat down on the throne.

Staci and Hibiscus stood beside him.

"What's going on with this head?" Li Qi asked, pointing to the head in the box.

Before he had done anything, sweat had already begun to form on the foreheads of the two nobles.

In people's subconscious mind, women managing affairs represent weakness.

As for Li Qi, compared to his series of names that can make people thirsty for words, his ruthless demeanor of killing weeds and killing entire families at every turn is truly a deterrent.

He just sat there and pointed his finger forward, and the two of them started to beat drums in their hearts.

Stacie was about to speak, but Li Qi raised her hand to stop her: "Let them speak!"

The two obediently repeated what they had said before, but this time they did not argue.

"Um……"

Li Qi nodded, closed his eyes, and then frowned slightly.

Things are a little weird.

Sir Della and a noble young man named Sil, their territory is on the edge of the East Gorge and the central region.

Abundant material resources.

Judging from the information he quickly investigated using the Ghoul Network, some beekeeping technologies, handicrafts and other technologies have also developed from the Porcupine Territory in the "Industrial Center".

But the interesting part is that the location where they said the battle took place turned out to be the monitoring blind spot of the ghoul signal tower.

Why did Ser Della's second son want to be near the Blind Side?

Why did Schier's convoy go around the side road and around the blind spot?
This matter cannot be characterized as an ordinary conflict of interests among nobles. It is not that one of them has a problem, but both of them have problems.

The two lowered their heads and waited quietly.

"Let's duel"

Li Qi opened his eyes and said: "The balance of Heavenly Father's Association will only tilt towards fairness, and God will give us the truth!"

"This, this..." Sir Della looked confused.

He is very old, and in a duel with the young noble Siel, his head will definitely be taken off in the first round. Moreover, the opponent is an extraordinary knight, while he is an ordinary person.

Unless a miracle really happens, he will definitely die.

Things might not be that bad after all. Sir Della remembered that the Emperor in front of him was the most famous God's Favored One in the Lulea continent, and he had been resurrected from the dead.

Not only him, but George Klein Jr., known as the "Dead King", also came back from the dead.

Maybe, I still have a chance.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Silr accepted Li Qi's proposal calmly.

Stacie looked at Li Qi, wanting to stop him.

The truth cannot be obtained by dueling.

People will pray to the four gods, but what if the four gods don't lower their gaze?
Ser Della chose a one-handed sword, as his body did not permit the use of heavier weapons.

The young nobleman Siel chose a two-handed sword. The sword weighing more than ten pounds was swung in his hands as easily as a straw stick.

The first time the weapons of the two sides collided, Sir Della's one-handed sword was knocked away and came out of his hand.

With the second sword, Sir Della was decapitated with a sword, and fell to the ground with blood spurting from her neck. Miss Lan, who was standing next to Li Qi, covered her mouth in horror. She was not used to the bloody scene in front of her.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your justice and trust!" The noble young man Xier half-knelt on the ground holding his bloody sword.

Li Qi nodded: "I will send someone to verify your lost profits, and then compensate you from Sir Della's property."

"Thank you for your justice!" the noble young man said happily.

After the other party left, Li Qi's corpse immediately came to take away the body. The answer lies in Sir Della's head.

The guarding soldiers retreated, and as soon as they went out, they saw two giant dragons crawling in front of the store, and their calves couldn't help but tremble.

There were only three people left in the hall, and Li Qi asked: "Is this the case a lot?"

"Yes." Stacie nodded: "It happens almost every month. Fighting for interests and fighting. They are trying to go back to before the establishment of the empire."

"Thanks a lot."

The technique of cultivating corpses became more and more sophisticated, and Li Qi soon got the information he wanted from Sir Della's head.

First of all, the corpse tower represents Li Qi's eyes, which has been known to the nobles.

In the past few years, some nobles thought that Li Qi had died at sea, so they planned to rebel, but they were accurately eliminated by the imperial army every time.

They slowly explored and gradually found the blind spot.

In fact, it is not a blind spot. It is just caused by the insufficient number of corpses under Li Qi and the insufficient computing power, so he usually does not pay too much attention to non-important matters. But now after traveling to Panbo Continent, the situation is completely different.

Secondly, what both of them said was true, but they just concealed part of the information.

Sir Della did ask his second son to secretly train an army. Now that the army is owned by the state, private nobles can only train guards. Sir Della hopes that his second son's army can be disguised as bandits, bypass blind spots, create panic, and then he can raise funds to annihilate them. robber.

It's an alternative way to make money.

There was no part of the plan to ambush Schier, but the two sides clashed, and Schier won in the end.

The problem also arises here. An army cultivated in secret cannot defeat the team of merchants delivering honey. Moreover, the merchant team deliberately avoids the coverage area and enters the blind spot.

As Stacie said, this group of seemingly obedient nobles are actually trying to return to before the empire was unified.

She only wanted to protect the empire built by Li Qi, so she was restricted in her actions. She was so annoyed that the nobles were playing with the rules and became a tool for them to compete for interests.

The newly transplanted tree has not even opened yet, and ants and pests are eager to eat it.

And the method given by Li Qi is also very simple.

"Compile all the recent bandits, bandits and other incidents," Li Qi said. "Suppress the bandits! And kill them all! We must post a reward for this matter, so that ordinary knights, and even ordinary soldiers with high merits, have the opportunity to become nobles." , but we must also be careful not to kill the good ones and take credit for them, so each team will send a few of my people to follow up."

Stacie knew what Reacher meant by "my people," those silent knights who didn't speak.
