Lord of Rot

Chapter 84
Guns can be used without, but not without.

Li Qi doesn't mind using the worst thoughts to speculate on human beings. His stepmother can kill himself for the title of title, and he can also send her to the feet of Tie Niu's hooves so that the golden finger will not be exposed.

Where there are people, there is bound to be a struggle.

Peace is only temporary.

The war will come again, and he hopes that when the porcupine collar is forced to be involved in the battle, the enemy will regret his arrogance, and let everyone on this road know that porcupines are covered in thorns.

It is especially important to sharpen your spines.

Magic gunpowder is the thorn.

Dead bodies and ghouls are thorns.

Soldiers and knights are also thorns.

Even the commoner's sense of belonging to the porcupine collar is a hard thorn.

The development of the nobles in Lurea can be seen from their father Lild. They talk about glory, but in fact they are plundering, colonizing, and killing.

This way of development is also doomed to the impossibility of lasting peace.

Ordinary people must have war if they want to go up, and the small nobles feel that the uneven distribution of resources also needs war to create opportunities.

It's not something that can be solved by saying "I love peace".

The biggest difference between Li Qi and the people on this continent is not the benevolence that the villagers say. Someone wanted to steal his secret recipe for making money, so he killed him directly.

His difference lies in the difference in development philosophy from the world's nobles.

On Earth, his country does not need to be colonized and plundered, even though it has been plundered for hundreds of years, it can still rise rapidly within a few decades.

He knows a path that can truly flourish. Even if he may not see the scene of the peak of development in his lifetime, it is enough to learn one or two of them...

The progress of the communication in the headland crypt this time was somewhat beyond Li Qi's imagination.

Betty's changes are completely different from before, even Li Qi can feel that she has a good impression of him.

Imprisoned people develop a distorted liking for their perpetrators?

Moreover, Betty's spirit seemed to become very excited. From the fact that he occasionally looked at the headland crypt and found explosions from time to time, he knew her state.

"It seems that the relevant alchemy materials will be purchased aggressively."

Was it gunpowder that exploded?
That is gold!
"Damn alchemy" is all done by these scholars, which caused the price of raw materials to soar.

If this goes on, hot weapons can only be used as surprise soldiers, and it is impossible to promote them.

Noon, lunch.

A piece of bread exuding a sweet and greasy aroma was delivered to Li Qi.

"Honey bread?"

Honey bread is not the first invention of Mr. Wine Barrel, but it is a delicacy that only nobles and wealthy businessmen can eat.

Li Qi took a bite of the bread and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Sure enough, sugar intake can make people excited and improve their mood."

His anxiety about throwing away coins because of purchasing a large amount of alchemy materials was calmed down a little at this time.

The beekeeping village began to collect honey normally. As long as the honey is kept well, it will not deteriorate in a short period of time, and it can support long-distance transportation.

"It's not enough to just sell honey, maybe you can consider opening a food factory."

Many fruits are too sour and taste bad, so they need to be marinated with honey or sugar.

There are also many fruits that are preserved with honey stains due to transportation distance and storage problems.

The price of this fruit is also very high.

Li Qi didn't come up on a whim, but the price of a bucket of honey is not as high as the price of a bucket of honey-soaked peaches. Everything is for earning more.

Accordingly, honey sells better than candied fruit.

"Canned goods, canned food...forget it, it's too old."

With the current technological level of the porcupine collar, it is simply impossible to make airtight cans.

He is like this every day, with many ideas in his mind, but limited by knowledge reserves, or talents, or raw materials, or funds, etc., he cannot realize them.

Some were thrown into the depths of his mind directly because they were too difficult to achieve.

Some will be memorized and reproduced when the opportunity arises.

Near May, the sun at noon is very hot.

Li Qi found a mason and simply expressed his thoughts.

He needs an ice cellar to store ice.

The mason was wondering, it's almost summer, my lord, what's the point of digging an ice cellar now?
But they didn't dare to disobey the lord's order, they obediently entered the underground of the castle, selected the location inside and then excavated.

The underground space of the castle is very large, with secret rooms, hidden warehouses, and dungeons.

As the center of a territory, the castle is not as simple as the lord's home, but a building with highly concentrated functions.

It combines many functions such as army, politics, residence and so on.

As a fortress, the castle has walls for defense and attack, as well as arrow towers and battlements.

For example, the castle in the crypt on the headland even has a moat, although the moat has dried up and turned into a mud ditch.

Some castles even have drawbridges, outer forts, etc.

The porcupine collar is relatively poor, but it still has basic functions, and soldiers patrol the city walls every day.

After the quick blade waits for the soldiers to return, all functions are turned on.

Li Qi looked at the construction of the territory and was quite satisfied with their craftsmanship.

The speed of excavation is very fast, after all, there are so many people.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head. Now that the construction team has come, he is going to remodel the dungeon.

The existence of the dungeon is very necessary. Maybe a countess, princess, or baron's daughter will be locked up in the future. If someone catches it, there will be no related buildings.

"There is no whip pepper water, no candle steel balls"

Li Qi turned around.

The mason who was taking notes beside him was in a cold sweat. What was the lord talking about? Why did he still smile when it sounded terrible?
He can only force himself to forget this scene, the lord is merciful!Be merciful!
At the same time, he has begun to reflect in his heart whether he has done anything to make the lord unhappy recently.

By the way, the apprenticeship problem!As if that wasn't enough to make the lord unhappy.

Li Qi said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare seafood soup for you."

If you sweat a lot during physical activity, you should add salt.

"Thank you, my lord, your kindness and generosity are as dazzling as the sun in the sky."

Li Qi looked at the mason and couldn't figure out why the other party flattered him all of a sudden. Has anyone in the porcupine leader ever drank seafood soup?No way.

The soup was still warm when it arrived.

"Eat it, don't worry about me." Li Qi waved his hand, and he didn't plan to be a supervisor.

Unexpectedly, a mason took out a cloth bag, made a pit with the dug mud, put the bag in it, poured water on it, and put the pot of seafood soup on it.

After a while, the seafood soup was bubbling and reheated.

Self heating!

Li Qi was surprised: "Who came up with the method?"

"It's the little lame," said a mason. "Because we often can't eat hot food when we are busy, the little lame made this thing."

"Good job." Li Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Self-heating without open flame, watering available.

Although it looks immature, but very interesting!
Li Qi had to admit that he had underestimated the people in this world, and given them a general direction, they could bring him endless surprises!
Little lame, he is really talented in lime research.
