Lord of Rot
Chapter 58 Mercenaries
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Sir, I am Duckfoot." The voice outside the door was a little excited: "I will be your personal servant."
From being the first valet to becoming the personal servant of a noble, not only is it a huge improvement in status, but in the future, if the nobles you serve make contributions and own territory, you may also become a butler.
Kelan frowned and did not let anyone in: "You should rest first. I have something to call you."
"Yes"
It was quiet outside the door, and Coran sighed. He was like a bird trapped in a cage, and no news could get out.
the other side,
The body of Kelan's valet has been arranged to be quietly delivered to Li Qi.
The slave responsible for transporting the corpse looked at the baron holding the torch, and then at the little giant behind the baron, and his heart trembled slightly. The man stood completely outside the illuminated range of the torch, leaving only a tall and dark figure.
Thinking of the rumors about a powerful team under the lord, and looking at the little giant in the darkness, I didn't dare to be careful at this moment.
The slaves immediately retreated.
"Very good." Li Qi looked at the corpse. The heart was stabbed in an attempt to kill him with one blow.
The little giant bent down and grabbed the leg of the corpse with one hand, and followed Li Qi away.
Inside a dark cave.
The coffin lid flew open.
Along with the picture, a memory flooded into his mind.
This was a certain chat in which he assumed the role of Coran Fusak's "valet".
Oh, valet.
In the memory, he was wearing a set of leather armor with a mercenary badge on his chest. There was also a group of people in front of him, both men and women, and everyone was fully armed.
"I've seen that bearskin, it's indeed a monster."
It was unclear who was speaking, because the "valet" did not look at the speaker. Maybe he could tell who it was, but Li Qi just suddenly entered this memory, so he just listened blankly.
"I saw silver hair, in the south." This time the speaker was a woman, not tall.
Just mentioning the silver hair, the breathing of everyone present became tense.
The woman continued: "They said their companions went in this direction."
"What the silver-haired weirdo said is definitely true. The treasure in the maze crypt is there!"
"I have investigated it." The person speaking this time was Li Qi himself, who was the "valet" in his memory now. The other party said: "It is a baron's territory, very closed, and the other party seems to have a very powerful army. He has a strong hidden army, we are no match for him, it’s best not to let him discover our purpose.”
"How to do?"
"Find a way to sneak in, and then search slowly."
"That's a good idea."
"I'll go," Li Qi said "himself": "You should pay attention outside, I will leave a mark."
His vision went dark, and the last image was a mark.
Li Qi opened his eyes.
From the "valet", in addition to this memory, he also obtained the skills to use a two-handed sword, but the skills were much worse than those of his dead teacher. If James Duke's big sword and single-handed sword The skill of hand sword is above average, so the skill of this mercenary is also below average.
"In other words, this group of mercenaries somehow cooperated with Becky Simon and then came to the castle to investigate? No, no, if there really are any treasures in the maze crypt, Baron Spark's army would have come to kill him long ago."
Li Qi would not doubt the nobles' instinct to pursue profits. Baron Sparks, who was rich in profits every month, certainly did not want to be notorious for it, but if it was a priceless treasure, the other party would definitely find various reasons to declare war and then occupy it. Own porcupine collar.
"Becky probably doesn't know, and neither does Coran."
He had a headache. He thought it was just a problem with the small pill, but he didn't expect that it also attracted a group of hyenas who were eyeing him.
This group of people came to find the crypt because of the flame bear's skin.
"Judging from that memory, the appearance of crypts is not because of me. Do all kinds of mazes and crypts always appear in this world? There should be a more scientific, no, more magical way to explain it, just like the underground people !" Li Qi suffered from the fact that he had too little information to understand the whole story.
It can probably be guessed that there is a part of underground civilization hidden, and it is likely to appear in the sight of ordinary people with the tide of magic.
This group of things will disappear with the decline of magic, and will appear again with the emergence of magic.
The porcupine headed towards the Pig Back Valley. The forest was too dense and Li Qi was unable to search it thoroughly.
However, the other party said that because of the "silver hair", he was sure that the treasure was in the Porcupine Collar, which meant that there was a high possibility that there was a third crypt in the Porcupine Collar.
"Does it have anything to do with that silver steel sword?"
According to legend, the silver steel sword has the magical power to kill monsters, and it was found in the griffon's lair. There are too many coincidences.
He even boldly guessed that the gryphon might have escaped from the third crypt!
"You guys have to search quietly, but I don't need to." Li Qi smiled: "This is my territory!"
Regardless of whether he is real or not, just conduct a blanket search in your own territory.
The next day, Grant received a strange order to clean up the dense forest near the porcupine collar and eliminate the beasts.
Hundreds of people went out, and when they came back in the evening, they brought rabbits, wolves, bird eggs, snakes and other trophies.
The baron was also very generous. He bought everyone's harvest. After collecting the furs, the baron directly distributed the meat to everyone. Although it was not much, everyone could get some meat flavor.
People were grateful to the lord for his kindness and were full of energy.
It was still the same on the third day.
Fourth day.
Day .
Because the ferocious beasts have been almost wiped out, the number of people investing is slowly decreasing.
The excavation of diversion canals is also important.
Eight days have passed.
Coran Fusak was becoming more and more lazy. He had a valet following him to serve him. He had no choice at all. Moreover, Joe had not returned for a long time, so he had no way to contact the outside world.
The personal servant given to him by the baron was like a nail piercing his side, and Coran did not dare to say he was dissatisfied.
Today, Li Qi invited Kelan to play out, and Kelan excused himself to rest in the room because he felt unwell.
Upstream of the river, the waterwheel is pushed and turned by the current.
Unlike the water wheel of the water mill, the water wheel of the irrigation water scooped up water every time it rolled. The water would flow into the canal through the wooden groove pipe made by the carpenter for people to plant and water the fields.
The emergence of aqueducts has greatly saved the labor consumed in carrying water. Although it is only a prototype at present, it can already save part of the labor of each family.
The part of the labor force that was saved was arranged by Li Qi to explore the dense forest.
Riding on horseback, Li Qi watched the waterwheel rotate slowly.
Children laugh.
"Farming with manure is only part of it. It's best to find a scholar who is good at studying plants."
Others may be satisfied with the harvest from the farmland, but Li Qi is not so satisfied. He plans to use "magic" means to study genetically modified genes.
Since magic claims to be able to create a big tree in an instant, it should be no problem to use magic to make the ears of wheat plumper and thicker.
If magic is not used for farming, it would be a waste!
"grown ups"
A figure staggered over. It was the lame Ake's son.
"Akli, what's wrong?"
"We found the entrance to a huge underground palace, huge!" Akli gestured: "It's right on the headland between Pig Back Valley and the seaside!"
