Lord of Rot

in the afternoon.

Li Qi was sitting in the study. He picked up a cup of strong tea and took a sip.

A wild chrysanthemum was found on the mountain of Porcupine Collar. When the little maid happily picked the flower and put it in her ear, the baron discovered it, so the half-withered chrysanthemum was soaked in his cup.

On the plate on the table is a piece of fresh cream cake. The general recipe comes from Baron Reacher's oral instructions. The specific method of making it needs to be studied by the chef himself.

The cream cake without too many decorations is enough to spend a pleasant afternoon. A small amount of rose water has an imperceptible smell, but it makes the cream cake rich in taste.

He was looking at a book called "The Son of the Ranger: Kern Krakmon". Probably the Ironstone City scholar packaged the stories compiled by the bards after knowing that the person who bought the book was a noble. For sale, it does not contain any academic knowledge, only the customs and customs from all over the world. It is just the customs and customs sung from the mouths of bards. You need to distinguish the authenticity of the stories by yourself.

The story is about the experience of a ranger son named Kern Clark Monr in Giant's Foot, but from the perspective of Reacher's readers, he should be a bard who calls himself a ranger son.

He recorded that he encountered a wild boar carrying a crystal on its back in the valley.

"...I guess it must not be able to lie down and sleep, but the crystal is really beautiful. At that time, I thought that if I could have a piece of crystal on the back of that wild boar, I would pay anything for it. It is obviously the same as me. I was not the only one who had this idea. My friend Bigfoot ran over. He was a warrior from the Giant Foot Mountain Tribe. He once crushed the head of a stag with his bare hands. He raised his iron fist and hit the head. Wild boar, oh! Bigfoot fell down, the wild boar knocked him away, and the blood stained the forest. I ran away in a panic, at any cost? Go to hell, I don't want to die, I kept running, listen The sound of my heart beating out of my ears, the invisible rope tightening around my neck, making me breathless, it happens every time when I run for my life, but I can't stop, I keep running forward until there is no more space behind me. No footsteps could be heard, I was safe.

Later I saw that crystal in a city. The crystal stained with my friend's blood was for sale, but the price was only 180 silver moons. I didn't look at that crystal again, no matter if it cost one life or 180 silver moons. I can't even accept the price. "

It didn’t take much time to read a book to one third of its thickness.

Li Qi guessed that the crystal on the pig's back should be a magic material if the "Son of Ranger" did not lie.

This man is full of adventurous, or made-up genes.

But when he saw the next story, Li Qi sat up straight.

The story of Son of a Ranger is like a unit drama, and the next page has nothing to do with the previous page.

"I followed a caravan. When the Giant Foot dispute started, they were keen to bring long swords and chain armor to various tribes. They should come from the north, most likely from the East Gorge or the Enze Plateau, but it is impossible. It’s the icy and snowy north. Those big fur bears in wolf skins will definitely melt when they come into contact with the southern sun. Once the war starts, it can’t be stopped, especially between tribes fighting each other, but they may never know The northern nobles not only send friendship, I guess the cunning nobles hope to make them kill each other, and then take the opportunity to unify the continent of Rhea."

"Unified Lurea?"

It is now the year 255 of the Yuan Dynasty. The Golden Bear family that rules the mainland has only occupied the position in the past hundred years. The history before that is only legend. The new Porcupine family has no idea of ​​the history before that. The memory of history belongs to the nobles. But the time of the first year can be determined to be the time of the unification of the continent, which means that the content recorded in this book is at least 255 years ago.

He continued to read.

"We set up a tent to rest at night. Old Joel drank too much beer and went to pee. He kept pouring malt wine into his mouth. When we were teasing him, Old Joel ran back in a panic without lifting his pants. , he found a cave, which might be the hiding place of a certain tribe at Giant's Foot. The tribesmen were like rats, hiding things everywhere. Everyone drank too much, and I knew by looking at their red eyes that they must be searching for things. , the caravan will turn into a bandit after leaving the city, and I joined them. Although I am not interested in robbery, I am curious about what is in the crypt. After all, the blood of the ranger flows in my body."

Ranger blood? A good excuse for a robbery.

"We went deep into the cave, with torches lighting up the front, but we were soon attacked. The Four Gods were on top. What were those things? They were shriveled up and exuded a foul smell. Their claws and soles were thick, but their bodies were as light as monkeys. , they tore Feijiao’s body to pieces with one claw. We all waved our swords and killed a few, but more and more monsters came out. We yelled and ran away. Because I was hiding at the back, I couldn’t escape when I ran away. I became the first, and I was very scared when I heard the sounds of people falling from behind.”

Li Qi thought about the female monsters in the second cave he discovered.

"I escaped, and then I went to the nearby tribesmen to ask for help. They thought their friends had been attacked and were very angry. I couldn't help but tell them the truth. They entered the cave with torches, and the fierce things were afraid of the light. ? Haha, they are dead! From the mouths of the tribesmen, we learned that the monsters in the caves are called earth dwellers. According to legend, they are elves who fled underground to avoid disasters a long time ago, before there were historical records. Elf? That’s what he looks like? I’m going to vomit.”

"We fought deep into the cave and trapped them with fire. After killing them all, we saw Old Yoel. The guy was still breathing, but his arms and legs were broken! The tribesmen said that the local people There are only females, and they occasionally return to the ground to prey on males. The males who are caught will have their hands and feet broken. Poor old Joel... But he survived, didn't he? Compared to others, his luck was better. "

Li Qi thought of what happened to the corpse James in the end, and secretly thanked himself for his quick response.

"I found that the tribesmen were collecting a strange herb in the cave. They said that the power of the spring of life would exist in the place where the tribesmen lived, and they could cultivate some strange herbs, the spring of life?"

"Later, Old Joel and I returned to the north, and the tribe that helped us was also wiped out. War is so cruel."

After reading a book, Li Qi closed it. At first he was just doubtful, but now he is 100% sure that the female monster in the cave is an "underground citizen".
