Lord of Rot

The young baron is not magnanimous, but he doesn't want his stepmother to die too easily. Even if his stepmother really relies on her personal charm to win the favor of the Iron Oxhoof Knight and save her life, it will be useless, because Li Qi is the Baron of the Porcupine Land, a A baron with a fief, Alsop as a knight's wife could never threaten him again.

"Me, me, me!" Alsop stood up nervously. She had also heard the legendary story of the iron bull hoof knight.

There were tears in her eyes, and her voice was filled with tears, which was much more realistic than when she was wailing for Li Qi: "My lord, I... I still want to take care of you, I want to stay in the Porcupine Territory, I don't I don’t mind growing old, I just want to be here, I..."

"But I mind." Li Qi stood up, still with a smile on his face: "I mind if you waste your youth. If my father was still alive, he would never allow this to happen."

"But..." She wanted to curse Li Qi, but she knew she couldn't. Maybe the other party was waiting for her to scold him, and then find an excuse to marry herself to a farmer. She would bid farewell to the luxurious life of a nobleman and never turn around. day.

In the Porcupine Territory, Li Qi is the lord, and as a guest, Red Rose can only make corresponding suggestions, but cannot influence his decision.

"Let's do this." Seeing what the stepmother was about to say, Li Qi interrupted her and said, "I heard that your father is Lord Leopold's knight. Leo is not young anymore. Why not let him go to Donggang?" City, ask your father to ask Leo to become his squire. Leo can serve Lord Leopold by following him, and maybe one day he can become a knight through his own efforts."

In the succession of the great nobles, the eldest son becomes the lord. Although the second son cannot own a castle, he can also have his own fields, army, and even obtain a title.

But for a small noble like Baron Porcupine, the eldest son inherits everything, and the second son may only get some money, or he may leave the family.

The only option for the second son of a minor nobleman is to become a squire of a certain nobleman and carry a gun for him.

It is even possible to start from scratch, like the former Porcupine Baron Leard, and after decades of hard work, he may be canonized as a baron by the Duke and have his own territory.

Some second sons can marry a female noble who owns a fiefdom and make the decision in one fell swoop, but that is certainly not a path that a 12-year-old boy can take.

Generally speaking, as the second son of a nobleman, Leo's promotion speed will be many times faster than that of ordinary people.

But now is the age of peace, and the ladder of promotion has disappeared with the chaos. It may take many, many years for Leo to become a knight.

"Thank you for your kindness." The stepmother lowered her head and said. When Li Qi decided that she would marry the iron bull-hoof knight and Leopold was the matchmaker, she knew that she had to go. Fortunately, her son did not have to die with him. She felt deeply in her heart. It was too late to vent her hatred because she had to worry about not dying under the iron heel. Next, she had to consider how to save her life.

Li Qi has great confidence in his vicious stepmother. Maybe she can capture the iron bull hoof knight with her charming charm?

However, considering that this is Iron Stone City, if an old lady wants to show her charm and capture a knight in a "holy land" full of beautiful women, the success rate is probably as low as traveling to another world.

Of course, Evanjielin was willing to accept the decision and serve as the chief judge to "punish evil and promote good." Compared with the vicious stepmother, she had a better impression of the 'kind' Baron who suddenly changed his attitude.

"I can go with Leo all the way and take care of him on the way," Evan Jielin said.

She understood that this was Li Qi's true "magnanimity". At least he gave Leo a chance to improve. Although it might take more than ten years for Leo to become a knight and even longer to become a baron, he did not embarrass himself in the end. Instead, he gave him a long road to promotion. Although it was long, at least there was hope.

To her, this is a gift.

In Li Qi's view, this was not a gift. He just wanted to get rid of all the irrelevant people as soon as possible. Even if he found an opportunity to kill his stepmother, could he still kill his own brother? So leave quickly and don't delay refining the corpse. If those things are discovered, it will be very troublesome. It will attract the church, and maybe you will be hanged or burned to death the next day.

As for what will happen in a few years or even more than ten years, Li Qi has not thought that far.

Evangeline Leopold took her lost stepmother and young Leo away. Also taken away were Leo's manservant, stepmother's maid, Leo's bay horse and a large cart of old clothes. luggage.

Before leaving, Leo shouted the family motto "full of thorns" to Li Qi. He could not take away any of his father Lild's inheritance. Even the manservant Hammer couldn't travel with him. In the end, he would only use it as a dowry to marry his stepmother. When he entered the Tie Niu Tie family, only this family motto that he didn't understand at all followed him far away. Maybe it would accompany him on the battlefield to kill the enemy, or it might accompany him to clean the gun for the knight, and he would be "covered with thorns" like this. Rub for a lifetime.

"It's full of thorns," Li Qi replied in the same way.

The Porcupine Territory is too desolate, and there is no church. You can't even get married here without the blessing of the church. Evangeline will take Alsop to Ironstone City. With her help, the Iron Oxhoof Knight will just pick up his new wife obediently. Go home and promise in front of the Four Gods to protect her for the rest of her life...at least until he lifts his iron ox hoof and kicks her.

Li Qi tactfully informed the other party that he could not go with him. The injured Baron could not leave here, but he would pray in his heart to bless the other party.

The stepmother certainly didn't want to see Li Qi at her wedding.

Leo was also a little sad. He was about to separate from his mother, leave the castle where he had not lived for long, and go to a strange city to find his grandfather whom he had never met. The future of the young boy was uncertain.

But who is different?

Li Qi, who traveled to another world, also felt confused.

Evangeline Leopold was very beautiful. If he had the chance, he would really like to kiss her, but people have to be practical. After this separation, there may not be many opportunities to see each other again, and even if they meet again, they may not remember her. Own.

The golden guards of the Leopold family protected the carriage pulled by the golden mules as it gradually moved away. The farmers along the road stopped what they were doing, raised their heads, and watched it leave. There were even children who had heard the news and were standing there. Waiting for them to pass by on the roadside, this will be the most noble carriage they have ever seen since they were born, and it will also turn into a story and appear on their dining table, starting from today until they die on their bed.

Maybe they will also tell their children and grandchildren that it was a golden carriage pulled by golden horses, escorted by soldiers wearing golden armor, passing through their lives.

Looking at the slowly setting sun, Li Qi suddenly reacted: "It's time for my teacher to come out of the coffin."

He still has things to do.
