Lord of Rot

Chapter 638: Elf Tree Results

The seemingly peaceful empire finally became lively with a large-scale bandit suppression order.

Located on the edge of the East Gorge, the small town of Dela is gradually getting rich thanks to a stone mine, but life is not as prosperous as written records say.

Carrot was sitting on his horse with a sword in his hand, looking at the yellow wilderness.

The grass roots dug out from the soil after the grain harvest are burned on the spot and turned into ashes that are blended into the soil to nourish the land for farming in the coming year.

As Li Qi's retinue, Luo Bao had already been canonized as a knight, and he quickly passed through three consecutive status transitions from slave to aristocratic master at a speed that ordinary people would envy.

He turned his eyes to the left and looked at the inconspicuous town of Dela, a small town on the edge of the wilderness. The earthen walls were only two or three people high, and the thorn fence inserted vertically outside the wall was the only line of protection.

Although Li Qi didn't say anything, he directly named Luo Bao to come to Dela Town. Luo Bao also knew that his task was very heavy.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to send a team composed entirely of extraordinary beings under his command.

"Advanced town."

The mission that Luo Bao received was to suppress bandits. He had to make a lot of preliminary preparations, and he also needed to rest in the small town of Dera.

The political officer of the town is also a descendant of Baron Della. He is a mustachioed man who speaks with a hint of a southern accent. He has the most popular long wavy hair, but the most eye-catching thing is the pointed-toe deerskin boots on his feet. .

The shop opened by Luobao and his sister is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are willing to sell Li Qihu's carrots. For the sake of face, the supply of goods is not a problem at all.

Those were deerskin boots worn by great nobles. A pair of boots could be sold for as much as 10 gold days. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were made directly from gold.

Even the top nobles will only choose to wear a similar pair on important occasions. They will treasure it and send special servants to take care of it.

After arriving at the arranged place, Luobo did not let the team disband. Except for him, everyone here was extraordinary, so it was impossible for them to be physically exhausted.

He could also feel that this town was not welcoming to him and others. After all, it was Li Qi who "foolishly" chose to fight, causing their lord to die by the sword.

Carrot didn't intend to ask anything useful from the locals, so he directly sent people to search.

This is a determined and iron-blooded bandit suppression operation, and there is no room for any sloppiness.

Luo Bao, who had been following Li Qi, knew very well that he did not have the talent to become a lord, but he knew how to obey orders and how to carry out Li Qi's orders well.So there were two knights in the knight's retinue back then. Little Joel left, but he stayed.

The team did not rest or stop, and went directly to search for traces of the bandits.

The mountain stream is intertwined with bare tree trunks hanging slantingly.

"Sir, there are fishing nets here! There are traces of human life!"

Hearing the sound, Carrot hurried over.

It was only five steps wide, and the deepest part of the stream only reached the bend of the knee. There were several simple nets strung across it.

The mesh is half the size of a palm.

Although the water was shallow, many fish were caught.

"Keep searching forward!" Carrot raised his head and said.

Extinguished campfires, fallen tree trunks for resting, and pits left by temporary campsites.

In the end, no one was found, only some clothes and daily necessities that could not be taken away in the future.

"Can you find it?" Luo Bo looked at a skinny extraordinary person behind him.

The other party has a sense of smell comparable to that of a hunting dog's nose.

The extraordinary man came closer and sniffed, then nodded: "Okay!"

"Find!"

The Extraordinary One circled around until it got dark before leading the team back to the small town of Dela.

"Sir!" The man with a mustache held a torch and looked at Carrot with a squinting smile: "Is everything going well?"

"very smooth!"

"This way!" The man with the extraordinary sense of smell sniffed and ran forward, just as a farmer carrying a hoe had just returned from work.

When he saw the extraordinary being rushing toward him like a vicious dog, he screamed in fear.

"Sir, what are you doing?" The man with the mustache said with an ugly face: "He is a farmer, a member of our Deira town, not a bandit."

But Luobo rushed forward and chopped off the opponent's head with a sword: "Keep looking!"

With that said, Carrot turned to look at the man with the mustache: "There are bandits harboring in Deira Town. Think about how to explain it first to save your head."

"You better stop! My sister is the Duke's personal maid!"

"What a coincidence!" Carrot grinned: "I am the emperor's first attendant! I will report this matter to the superiors, and the Duke will also give an explanation to His Majesty."

The mustachioed man swallowed.

The bloody collection activity was carried out with people crying and shouting.

At the beginning, some people shouted their wishes, but as heads were chopped off one by one, some people began to admit their mistakes. Then they found that admitting their mistakes seemed to save their lives, so they rushed to tell their crimes.

The anti-bandit activities went more smoothly than expected.

Carrot's bandit suppression operation did not end there. He set off for the territory of the young nobleman Xier. After searching, he finally found an excuse to set foot on the other party's territory.

Ten days of searching, half a day of fighting, and half a day of cleaning the battlefield.

The nobleman Siel actually wanted to overthrow Li Qi's rule because his great-grandmother was related to the Golden Bear family.

It ended with a spear inserted into Sil's head and sent to the wall of the royal city to be exposed to the sun.

Inside the King City.

Li Qi sat on the throne with his horse and golden sword, and a group of old nobles gathered below, the number was no less than when Li Qi ascended the throne.

They hoped that Li Qi would withdraw his order to suppress the bandits.

The benefits of suppressing bandits were too little, and with Li Qi's ghoul followers monitoring them, the new nobles often could not make much achievements.

But as the Carrot Bandits "discovered" the hidden problems of the town's nobles, they successfully tried the other party after collecting enough information, and even wiped out the treasonous nobles.After receiving the reward, other new nobles also understood.

The purpose of suppressing bandits is to investigate in the open. If you can stumble one by one, you can climb up by making achievements.

In the main hall, the old nobles were very quiet. The two giant dragons guarding the door and taking a nap were the main reason for their good behavior. They were afraid that their breathing louder would wake up the two legendary creatures at the door.

"I know what you mean."

Li Qi didn't care about these old nobles at all. He became emperor not by means or balance, but by pure strength.

Ghouls who are absolutely loyal to themselves, as well as a large number of troops and weapons.

If he can sweep across Lulea Continent for the first time, he can sweep it for the second time, and for the third time.

On the contrary, these old nobles, toothless toads, can do nothing but make disgusting jumps.

"I hope you can help the bandit suppressing army and solve the problem quickly."

"Yes!" The old nobles nodded.

"By the way," Li Qi said, "There is also parliament. I heard Stacy say, do you think the reason why there are bandits and rebellions everywhere is because there is no parliament to make decisions?"

A noble immediately nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the parliament you promoted in the East Gorge can collect the opinions of every noble and solve problems in a real sense. We believe that the empire needs the existence of the parliament very much."

"Well" Li Qi nodded and said in the surprised eyes of everyone: "That is to say, the local nobles where banditry incidents occurred do not have the ability to govern and can only obey orders, right? Then why don't I tie a tie on the lord's seat? Where’s the dog?”

"It's better than this," Li Qi said: "Let those who have passed the examination and are truly talented take charge, and those who are not talented will retire."

"His Majesty!"

"Roar!" The giant dragon outside the door woke up, raised its head and roared.

All the nobles trembled.

"Go out first, I have to feed the dragon."

After everyone left, Stacie pulled on her long skirt and walked to Li Qi: "Are you really going to use the exam to canonize a noble?"

"Of course not." Li Qi shook his head: "Nobility can be a title, a wealth, a symbol... or it can have no rights."

“But it allows for talented people to play in important positions.”

"It's still too early." He stood up and stretched: "After this time, they will definitely be more honest."

He hugged Stacie: "I want to go to Iron Valley again." "That sister of yours?"

"That's really my sister!"

"Where's Ake?"

"Damn my sister."

……

Iron Valley.

Lilac Village is 100 miles away from Iron Wall Fort. Although the entire Iron Valley has begun large-scale infrastructure construction, it also serves as a transfer station and has the largest talent training base. It is one of the most prosperous areas.

But Lilac Village is definitely an outlier in Iron Valley, and few people come here.

The village is famous for the mushroom called lilac.

The taste of the mushroom is similar to the oyster mushroom, with a light floral aroma, and the mushroom folds are light purple.

This is the only village in the entire continent of Lurea that can grow lilac mushrooms. The mushrooms are enough to treat beriberi, so the price is not cheap.

The dragon streaked across the sky.

The white dragon Habakak raised his head and roared in response to the dragon in the sky.

The stretched dragon wings pressed down, and the wind bent the tree waist.

All four legs thumped on the ground.

Li Qi jumped off the dragon's back and saw the white dragon smiling humanely, with a very respectful and low posture.

The mother tree tied her head full of silver threads into a single ponytail, revealing long pointed ears.

Turning around and seeing Li Qi, she waved happily: "Here, here!"

"Just plant like this, how long do you have to wait?" Li Qi looked at the location she chose.

A small pit was dug out with his hands, and an acorn-like seed was placed in it.

The mother tree replied: "It will take about ten years to sprout, several decades to grow, and several hundred years to bear fruit."

"By then, I will have died of old age."

"Then you can work hard to enter the legend," the mother tree said: "After you reach the legend, your life span will be greatly extended, and you may be able to see the birth of elves."

"There's no point in living for too long. Just live until you want to die, and then close your eyes on a more comfortable afternoon."

Li Qi did not discuss the meaning of lifespan and time with an immortal species.

"Why did you choose this place?" That was what he cared about.

Mother Tree almost immediately chose Lilac Village, directly abandoning other places and treating this place as her only choice.

"This place is more suitable for elves to grow. And there is a very powerful corpse walking underground."

"A powerful corpse?"

The mother tree said uncertainly: "Probably, it is the corpse of God. He is dead and his power is scattered. Even if you dig it out, you can only cultivate extraordinary things at best."

Li Qi raised his hand and knocked her on the head: "How much you look down on Chaofan."

Moreover, it would be interesting if it was really the corpse of a god.

No one else needed to take action, Li Qi pinned him down on the ground with one hand.

The ground shook violently with "rumbling".

The entire Lilac Village was therefore divided into two halves.

The ravines and rifts extended downwards infinitely until something faint and somewhat familiar appeared within Li Qi's mental observation range.

It was a white female bone, with muscles and blood vessels growing only at certain joints, barely pulling the bones to prevent them from falling apart.

She was wearing a tattered robe like a religious nun's, with her hands folded on her chest.

And the belly is as big as a ball.

The bones in the uterus were expanded by some unknown force, making her look like a pregnant woman.What grows in the womb is not the fetus, but the unbloomed flowers.

"Flower of Isis?"

The white bones indeed have no special power as the mother tree said, because all their power has been taken away by the flower bones growing from the pelvis.

Li Qi carefully picked up the bones and flowers from the ground.

There was more than one Flower of Isis that once caused a tide of corpses in the Iron Valley.

But where is the mysterious witch who once gave the Black King the Flower of Isis?Why did the other party only pick a mature flower of Isis?

Confusion came to Li Qi's door before he was about to find the answer.

To be precise, it was his palace-level corpse butler Isis who was found by a woman on her own initiative.

"I am Zyra, and I accidentally ended up in this material plane like you."

The other party stopped Isis and all the extraordinary and palace-level corpses with one look, and forcibly found Li Qi through the spiritual connection network.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!"

The two giant zombie dragons raised their heads and roared, using dragon power to forcefully fight back.

White Dragon Habakak turned his head left and right in confusion, but he didn't notice anything.

"Giant dragon? Trouble!" The other party took the initiative to release the restraint: "If you also want to leave this material plane, we can cooperate. I will wait for you in the royal city."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Li Qi's expression was not very good, the mother tree asked.

"Someone related to this skeleton is here." Li Qi looked down at the bones: "It's hard to distinguish between friends and foes, but there shouldn't be any conflicts for the time being."

"What can the three-headed dragon do?" the mother tree asked.

Bailong shrank his head. He shrank his head when he needed to. Anyway, there were two big brothers in front of him, so there was no need for him at all.

He began to miss the days of being a dragon breeder in Panbo Continent. He was a little tired, but there was no threat to his life.

"If she could defeat the three-headed dragon, she would have killed her long ago. Why would she need to discuss it with me?" Li Qi compared his feelings with others. After the strength reaches a certain level, careful discussion is only done after the fight.

"I found the Flower of Isis, and she came to my door." Li Qi stared at the bones on the ground and said, "There must be a connection in it."

The mother tree nodded and said: "If the Elf Tree is stronger and can absorb these flowers, maybe a similar race of flower elves can be born."

"How do you want your elf tree to grow?"

"Energy, time, life."

"This is simple." Li Qi grabbed the snakeskin bag and shook it.

The soup of life that had been obtained underground in Oasis City fell to the ground, and the rich breath of life stretched every pore of the body of those who came close.

Even Bai Long, who was shrinking his head, couldn't help but look here.

"What a powerful life force, what is this?"

"The soup of life."

Li Qi kicked the pirated "Cauldron of Plenty" and poured the soup of life into the land where the seeds were buried.

The next moment, a huge tree rose from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it surpassed the trees of Lilac Village, as if planning to break through the sky in one breath.

Moreover, in the book, there are fruits as big as fists.

"There is too much life energy, and the tree has to bear fruit as quickly as possible. There is no time to bloom," the mother tree explained.

"Can it be used?" Li Qi pointed to the bones on the ground and a batch of flowers of Isis.

The elf tree stretched out a tentacle and wrapped the bones around the roots.

"Of course!"
