Lord of Rot

Chapter 315 Cliff Reclamation

Early the next morning.

Steven and Agnes say goodbye hastily to the unconscious "captive".

The speeding carriage swept up the leaves on the roadside and knocked away the dewdrops.

The "captive" in the two people's mouth is not simple, but that has nothing to do with Li Qi. He has many things on his hands now and has no intention to worry about other aspects.

But this incident also sounded the alarm for Li Qi. His territory was very close to Burning City. If a conflict really broke out, Tiegu would definitely bear the brunt.

You can also pay careful attention to the situation of the Three Forks River. Will Hawkwood, who has been insignificant all his life, want to be powerful again? Or should we choose another good master before Duke Yaori falls?

Li Qi could only guess.

The Porcupine carried the nobles out of Pig Tail Bay, and the ladies on the boat were still chatting happily. It seemed that this trip to the Porcupine had left a good impression on them.

Li Qi stood at the dock and watched the ship leave.

It was a relief to see away the biggest group of people.

He spent a lot of money and gave each person a finely crafted handkerchief. He did not ask them to say good things, but only hoped that they would remember that the person had short hands and not speak ill of him behind his back in the future.

Cleaned up for a while.

The team from Green Forest Castle also arrived at the gate of the castle. It would take them more than half a month to get back to the water stream.

This morning, Li Qi prepared a lot of specialties from the Porcupine Territory for them to take back. The courtesy was not too much, but the sincerity was all that was needed.

“Just send it here”

Bode turned to Li Qi and said, "If you need anything, you can write to me at any time."

Li Qi said directly: "No need to write a letter, I need it now."

"Ahem" Bode coughed dryly: "It's better to write a letter, I have to be on my way now."

He quickly turned around and ran away, jumping onto his horse.

Pretending not to hear what Li Qi just said is the best way to handle it.

Stacy also put on light leather armor and trousers at this time, her blond hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and a long sword hung on her waist.

Reacher always insisted on his point of view. The charm of a saintly knight when Stacie put on the armor was something that no other woman he knew had.

She looked at Li Qi and said, "I miss the time when I beat you and cried."

"Next time we meet, I won't hold back, I will beat you to tears," Li Qi replied.

Staci replied seriously: "I will also use my full strength!"

The two looked at each other with murderous intent in their eyes.

Miss Lan with phoenix eyes in the distance looked at them nervously, while Bode on horseback showed a sinister smile, as if he was looking forward to another fight between the two.

The next moment, Li Qi and Stacie smiled at the same time.

"I can help you any time," Stacy said, "even now."

Li Qi nodded: "If I need it, I will definitely ask you for help as soon as possible, Knight Stacy."

"Remember what you said!" Stacie emphasized, then turned and returned to the carriage.

Miss Fengyan Lan stood in the distance, holding up her skirt and nodded gently to Li Qi, then turned to Stacie and said, "Help me."

An arm stretched out, grabbed Miss Phoenix Eyes Lan's wrist and yanked her into the car.

Touch, the carriage door is closed, and Miss Phoenix Eyes Lan can still be heard complaining inside: "It hurts me!"

The sound of horse hooves faded away, and Li Qi also withdrew his gaze.

The troublesome birthday party was finally over, and he could pack up and prepare before heading to Iron Valley for further development.

On the contrary, Becky Simon, who he always thought would make a fuss, turned out to be surprisingly honest.

She seemed to have just attended a very ordinary banquet. She was well-dressed and not overly charming, just like an ordinary noble lady.

Li Qi originally thought that the other party would make some small move, such as trying to push him down or something, but nothing happened. The other party seemed to just come to the banquet as a coping mechanism.

Let the mental construction he did in advance be in vain.

Thinking about it now, he thought there was only one possibility for this to happen.

Becky Simon has already understood that she is no longer the little baron who owned two territories. No one can ignore his rise, and he is not something she can provoke now.

……

Li Qi flipped through the files submitted by the noble youths.

“Ordinary”

He can give this evaluation only because these people can read and write.

It can be said that except for their bragging ability at the wine table, they are almost the same in other aspects.

Suddenly there were 12 Crow Camels in his hand, which reminded Li Qi of when he first met Crow last year. What he thought about every day was not how to reuse him, but how to persuade Crow to quit.

If Crowe hadn't made a mistake in killing Wodu Eighteen in the end, Li Qi would never have let him back.

Now Crowe can still talk about writing and outside world knowledge in night classes, which can be considered to be of some use.

But night schools don’t need so many aristocratic teachers.

That also deviated from Li Qi's original expectation. He had to let these people play their role.

"At least they have the will to fight, unlike Crowe who shows off."

When they get to Tiegu and let them try it, they will know what the level is.

Two more days passed,

Li Qi has been thinking about time.

The time agreed between him and Mrs. Jie Lin was getting closer and closer, and it was not suitable to allow Iron Valley to develop wildly, so the first batch of scales were loaded with craftsmen, the first batch of experienced apprentices in the city hall, and 12 noble youths. A, along with Pitts and her group of animal friends, the Iron Valley sailed from Pig Tail Bay to where it should go.

——Iron Valley!

Needless to say, the bumpy sailing for several days was boring. The only thing is that Li Qi took the Hippogriff rocket with him this time.

"Lower the sails and sail along the coast!" Captain Long of the Iron Valley shouted loudly.

Looking towards the land from the deck, you can see a towering castle on the top of the cliff.

The entire cliff is vertical and steep like a huge city wall, blocking out the sea and guarding the mainland.

"Wow—!"

The rockets flew around the Iron Valley. The people on the ship were used to seeing it, and other than occasionally praising its magical beauty, they would not say much else.

But every time a rocket flies by, some people will still exclaim, because rockets really like little pranks, and the wind flapping their wings when it flies is strong enough to blow away a thin child.

Everyone knows that this time they come to Iron Valley to take on the responsibility of opening up wasteland, and they feel pressure in their hearts. If they can do well, they will definitely receive rewards and honors, but they are afraid that they will not do well.

Captain Lang said: "Sir, the water level at the seaside of Iron Valley is also very deep, suitable for berthing of some small and medium-sized ships."

"How about Pigtail Bay?"

“It’s a little worse than Pig Tail Bay, but building two or three piers should be no problem.”

As long as a dock can be built, the most important thing is to connect the Iron Valley with the sea. The navigation technology of this era is backward, which is a good opportunity for development.

People took advantage of the lowered boats and waited to go ashore one after another.

Boom!

Boom!

The deck shook, and two scaly armadillos as big as pigs crawled out of the cabin.

Li Qi spent a total of 8 bloodline herbs, but in the end only these two armadillos succeeded in returning to their ancestors and grew to this extent.

The remaining 6 are just ordinary armadillos, but they have grown slightly larger and have not developed any special abilities in their blood.

The medicine is simply wasted.

A ship carries an armadillo. Fortunately, when they are scared, they huddle themselves into a ball instead of running around, so the entire transportation process is very smooth, as if they are actually transporting two motionless scale balls.

After arriving at the shore, Li Qi immediately started arranging tasks: "The chef will cook, others will build temporary accommodation, and the masons will plan the dock construction first."

The 12 noble young men serve as supervisors and lead the team to work. They are responsible for giving instructions rather than actually rolling up their sleeves and working.

Finally he looked at Pitts: "Let those two guys start working. We want to get to the castle above..."

He pointed to the top of the steep cliff, then pointed to the two scale balls, and said: "This road needs to be dug out by the two of them."

If there is no road, then dig it on site.
