Lord of Rot

Chapter 462: All insects belong to Akko

"Of course, ma'am, if it weren't for the urgent matters waiting for me to go back to deal with in my territory, and a lot of troubles that make me anxious, I would really be reluctant to miss the opportunity to have dinner with you."

With a smile on his face, Li Qi pulled away the noble lady who was almost leaning against him.

Politeness is a must, and it is impossible for him to speak harshly to the kidnapped victims, especially since he has gotten to know a group of noble ladies who openly and secretly expressed their desire to have their children come to serve as loyal servants.

He has been poaching people for a long time, but farmers and nobles are different, not only in terms of knowledge level, but also the influence that nobles have, which is a business that can make a profit without losing money.

As soon as he pushed one away, his left arm was immediately attacked again.

She hugged Li Qi's arm tightly: "Wow, I really don't know how to thank you. I was scared at the time."

Li Qi thought to himself: "I'm scared right now. Are you spiders planning to play with me and then kill me for meat?"

He kept smiling and took his arm out of the clamp: "I have sent someone to contact Vito, and he will bring someone over soon."

After trying his best, Li Qi finally broke free from the siege of the goblins.

To be honest, they don't smell good. Even if they were exquisite, elegant and charming ladies before, they are no better than women standing on the streets in slums.

Two of them had the obvious smell of urinary incontinence caused by excessive shock, but Li Qi always remained gentle enough and would not let himself show discrimination.

If they didn't always approach with a friendly look on their faces, with "You're not young anymore" written all over their faces, Li Qi really wouldn't be so scared. He felt that these people did it on purpose.

Maybe after having a thrilling experience, people long for release?

Scholar Tonks, who was sitting on the carriage in the distance, opened the door and looked at Li Qi who was surrounded by a group of "messy" and "smelly" women. She "tsk-tsk" and shook her head, even though she was already impressed by the Baron's popularity. She had guessed, but what happened today was beyond her expectation.

Little heads popped out from behind her, looking at them curiously.

"Don't look at it, kids." Scholar Tonks stretched out his hand to push those little heads back, and closed the carriage door at the same time.

……

Vito rushed over in a hurry, and when he saw the noble lady beside Li Qi, his expression changed obviously.

It seemed that he had guessed who the mole was, but it was difficult to say it in front of Li Qi.

"Thank you very much for your help!" Vito said formally: "The situation is a bit unstable now. I have troubles...otherwise, I will definitely..."

Li Qi shook his head: "It takes a little effort."

The condition of Giant Foot is worse than expected. As the prince's number one tool, he is actually restricted to this extent.

"The East Gorge is also very chaotic. The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother." Now everyone is holding back their enthusiasm. After four or five years of no war, many people are already feeling itchy.

Watching Vito lead the people away, Li Qi also embarked on the journey home again. Li Qi handed the body and rhinoceros horn to the water fairy. After collecting them, she would wait for Li Qi to come to Hippogriff to pick them up.

After a long journey, we successfully set foot on the territory of Iron Valley. The road ahead was undulating, but the ground was relatively flat.

Li Qi looked at the greatly changed territory with satisfaction. What supported the popularity of this territory was the migrant workers, who came and went, making it very lively.

Black smoke is blowing out from above the brick kiln factory, making Tiegu look anything but relaxed.

That night.

Then two things took advantage of the wind and were delivered to Li Qi's hands.

One is the extraordinary precipitate of the eagle-headed bear, and the other is a strange iron box.

"The magic blockade has a very complex mechanism on it, which not only requires outstanding magical abilities, but also strong computing power." Li Qi took the iron box and shook it, but could not hear any sound inside.

He tried to unlock it, but as expected, he couldn't.

They are just a bunch of desperate tribesmen. Why do they have this thing in their hands?

"It was probably picked up or robbed. Most likely it was obtained from those noble ladies."

However, according to Li Qi’s understanding, the noble ladies’ family backgrounds were average, and the richest one was a baroness. Her family background was very average, and her annual income was estimated to be no more than 50 gold days. It was impossible to obtain such a sophisticated thing, and there was something Is it worth storing in there?

"In my own summary at the end of last year, my income seemed to be only 50, right?" After thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to be very rich.

After Li Qi tried many times to no avail, he prepared to wait until dawn and hand it over to Scholar Tonks for study tomorrow.

"I still have to go to the desert." He still had a little red dot in his eye. It was very important to build a stable crypt. Not to mention the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, just as a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder who is not very obsessive, let a red dot stand in his eyes. He felt uncomfortable having it in his eyes for so long.

"How about opening a portal?"

"Forget it, it's best not to move around until Duo completely masters the teleportation technique."

He has almost mastered the teleportation technique, which is safer and more stable.

Magic, it's really not difficult.

……

Giant's Foot, near Corso Mountains.

People crowded into a big circle.

More and more people gathered.

The maid of the Minotaur Tavern, whom Li Qi was quite familiar with, struggled to squeeze into the crowd. Looking at the man with bare feet and rags, her cheeks were flushed and she was emotional: "Saint Ron, I want to pray to you."

The man smiled and said, "Of course, ma'am."

People gathered in crowds. No matter how crazy they were outside, they would consciously lower their voices after approaching him, affecting one by one. The small village that used to be home to the most barbarians, lunatics and bastards was now extremely quiet.

The man known as Saint Ron listened tenderly to everyone's prayers and gave his own response.

The night could not stop the piety of the crowd. Even some explorers who did not originally believe in nature, after approaching and praying with the heart of "We are here", they were soon conquered by the joy of venting their inner squeezed emotions, and Choose to be a follower of Naturalism.

This sudden ceremony lasted until dawn.

After the last person finished speaking, Saint Ron stood up and left. When people woke up, they found that they could no longer see each other's shadow, but the peace in their hearts could not be faked, so they believed in nature more devoutly.

In the open space not far from the Corso Mountains, there was a man kneeling in front of Saint Ron, who was listening to prayers just a moment ago.

"The body was found, but the things were gone."

"Holy water is very precious. It is God's gift to the world."

"There are too many people involved in this matter," the kneeling man said. "There's no way to investigate. It's all those damn tribesmen. If it weren't for them, they would have been sent to the East Gorge long ago. I'm also looking for those who survived." People who came down asked, and no one had seen the box containing the holy water."

Saint Ron pondered for a moment: "Then wait a little longer. Maybe failure is God's guidance."

"You are right!" the kneeling man said in surprise.

"The next batch of holy water will hatch soon," he said, "I need you to deliver it as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, of course!"

……

"opened!"

After dawn, Li Qi found Scholar Tonks with the thought that people with tools would not use it in vain. With the other person's magical attainments, after several experiments, they successfully opened the box.

"What is this stuff?"

Li Qi looked at the contents of the box.

A squirming pile of black viscous liquid.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a "drop" suddenly flew up and headed toward his eyeballs. Fortunately, he reacted in time, backed away quickly, and quickly closed the box.

The drop of black liquid drew a parabola and landed on the ground, still squirming.

He looked at Scholar Tonks, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand such strange things at all.

So Li Qi asked someone to bring a long needle and pick up the thing: "It looks like a parasite. Maybe coelenterates have very strong vitality?"

"I'll wait for you in Dongxia and let Akeke study it."

She should be able to control the conceptual "worm".
