Lord of Rot

Chapter 157 Deadly potion is difficult to plant

Li Qi nodded: "Okay, Mr. Ma Wei, Mr. Arrow, you must have something important to visit Porcupine Castle after dark?"

"Yes, my lord." Ma Wei replied, "One of our friends is missing, probably in this area. I would like to ask if you have seen white hair dressed like us."

"I haven't seen it." Li Qi shook his head.

"You didn't ask the people under your command, how do you know you haven't seen it!" Arrow couldn't help but said.

Ma Wei immediately went to pull his companion's arm. Now that the two of them are closing the door and waiting to be beaten, they should speak less politely. Could it be that they really intend to kill a bloody way out?If you have no grievances or enmities, if you can solve them through chatting, don't do it.

Li Qi asked back: "Do you two think your appearance is special?"

"Of course!" Arrow replied.

Ma Wei also nodded, it must be special, otherwise they wouldn't have been targeted as soon as they entered the porcupine collar.

And because of this white hair, when passing through other villages and towns, they are often called monsters and rejected by others.

It is still thanks to the church that white hair has become synonymous with monsters.

Li Qi replied: "So, I haven't seen it."

You two are so eye-catching with white hair, and my subordinates know to come and report. Could it be that my subordinates will not report when your white-haired friends come?

"Maybe he's been disguised." Ma Wei lifted off his black robe, revealing the long sword at his waist.

Swish-!
The uniform sound of drawing swords sounded in the hall.

Fifty or sixty soldiers drew their weapons the first time Ma Wei showed his sword.

Aero also lifted off his black robe and grabbed the long sword at his waist.

"It's very similar to this sword." Ma Wei untied the long sword tied around his waist and held the sword in both hands: "Please take a look."

Quick Edge walked over and grabbed the sword, pulled it out first, checked it was correct, and handed it to Li Qi after making sure there were no small tricks.

Li Qi nodded, and the soldiers retracted their swords in unison.

Arrow also draws his sword back.

Ma Wei heaved a sigh of relief, he had never seen such neatly moving soldiers, elite, this is definitely an elite!
Fortunately, I came here with good intentions, and didn't just sneak in through the window, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

Seeing Li Qi observing the sword, Ma Wei immediately said: "As you can see, this is a silver steel sword, the weapon used by people like us, silver steel can cause damage to monsters more easily, maybe that one The caster will tell you this."

It is very similar to the silver steel sword that Li Qi got in the Griffin's lair before, but the details are a little different. There is also a sentence written on the sword with acid etching, but it is not the sentence "In the face of death, what do you want to do?" What to say", but "Death will come".

Hearing Ma Wei's words, Li Qi was also puzzled for a while.

caster?
I am the only one who knows magic in the whole castle.

Oh, these people think that the caster is someone else, and they don't know it is the young lord sitting in front of them.

But there is no need to explain, just make a mistake.

"I haven't seen your friend," Li Qi said, "but I've seen a sword, very similar to this one."

The two looked at Li Qi excitedly.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Li Qi nodded.

Silver steel sword, the value is quite high, but the most expensive is only a few gold days, and some can be bought with a silver moon. In addition to the material of the weapon, it also depends on which famous craftsman made it, as well as its appearance, and has been used before. Who is the person and so on.

Brand value and celebrity effect are greater than practical effect, unless it is a strange thing.

"I found that sword on a cliff lair, and it is now in my treasure house. I can return it to you when I find that sword." Li Qi said, "If you want to see that sword Lair, I can take you there tomorrow."

"Thank you very much!" Ma Wei bowed.

Arrow also bowed awkwardly, and they were notorious enough for being able to talk things out amicably rather than fight a fight.

"I will arrange accommodation for the two of you," Li Qi said, "It's getting late, we can talk tomorrow."

"Praise be to your generosity, my lord."

The two have no objection to this, the lord is already very friendly, and they should be more sensible.

The next day, after having a meal in a tavern, the two came to the castle.

Li Qi took out the silver steel sword and handed it to the two of them, and then led the two of them to the Boar's Ridge Valley on horseback... Of course, they walked around the strait instead of going directly through the dense forest, lest they see the potion .

After pointing them to the location of the griffin's lair that had been looted, Li Qi started to think wildly again under the tree.

Without entertainment, cranky thinking will consume a lot of his time.

"Aristocratic manors generally have Jintongli Boulevard. Should I also build one? I usually take a walk, especially in autumn. It's a good tool for picking up girls, right...do I still need to take the initiative to chase women now?"

The Porcupine Baron, whose economy has already started, is a little reluctant to eat soft rice.

After a while, Mavi and Arrow returned.

The black robe on his body was dusty with dirt.

"My lord, I have to tell you that there used to be a terrifying griffin in that lair." Ma Wei took a deep breath and said, "Our companions were tracking the griffin, but now he disappeared with the griffin. I'm afraid He has already suffered a lot, but your territory has avoided a disaster."

Of course Li Qi knew why the griffin disappeared, because it was smoked away by the ignited pasture.

As for their companions, it is estimated that they have been digested by the griffins long ago and returned to nature.

"Thank you for your companion's selfless dedication," Li Qi said, "I feel sad for his death, and I'm sorry."

"It's impossible for you to fight against the griffin," Ma Wei said. "This is the best result, but we're afraid we will go back with disappointment."

"Can you talk about where you are from?" Li Qi said, "I don't know anything about you except your names. Maybe we can be friends."

Ma Wei smiled: "For the first time, a noble lord is willing to be friends with us."

"Don't generalize everyone." Li Qi shook his head: "Everyone is different. There are good and bad among the nobles, and not all of the farmers are hard-working people. It's like I'm trying my best to develop porcupine collars, but there are always some Xiaoli, think I owe them."

Ma Wei knew that the lord must be talking about the bearded man yesterday.

Based on his experience of traveling far and wide, after comparison, he found that Porcupine Collar is a small village with a very good environment.

There are beggars in big towns like Ironstone City, but in Porcupine Collar, everyone has a job and food.

"You are the most benevolent lord I have ever seen." Ma Wei agreed with Li Qi's words.

Noble and mean is always a person, not a profession.

There are thieves, and there are grand thieves, right?

"You're not the first to say that." Li Qi was not modest: "I'm just fulfilling the duty of a lord, so that everyone can have enough food."

The chat between the two was quite pleasant, but Aero, who knew he couldn't get in the conversation, kept his mouth shut and listened obediently.

The white hair doesn't come from some unspeakable secret organization. They kill all kinds of monsters, deal with ghost incidents, and travel around the mainland to make a living.

At the same time, they will also be called to work for a certain big man, part-time mercenary, and very united, and will take the initiative to help their companions when they are in danger.

It can be said that, except for not playing cards and some minor details, they are very similar to a certain white wolf.

Their organization is called "Hunters".

There are men and women, but men account for a large proportion.

"Can you grow potions? Make potions?" Li Qi asked.

"Not all hunters fight with each other." Mavi nodded and replied, "But most of the time they spend money to buy them, because the conditions for growing certain potions are too harsh."

"For example...?" Li Qi was very interested in potions.

"For example, Erlo's favorite potion," said Mavi: "He has the ability to use poison, and being in a poisoned state will greatly increase his strength, and the person who is attacked will also be poisoned."

Arrow the Viper, that's how it came to be, poisoned himself.

"But the potion he needs has a rare raw material called ghost finger flower. After sprouting, it will continuously spray poisonous mist. No matter how thick the protection is, it will be eroded by the pervasive poison. Every plant of ghost finger flower Before picking it, someone must have been killed, probably only the corpse can live in peace with the ghost finger flower."

Li Qi was shocked.

Why didn't I think of it before.

The effect is very good, but it is so dangerous that no one can plant the virus strain. Who else in the world can plant it except yourself?

The real Golden Mile!
"Is there any more? Similar deadly potions."

Li Qi asked.

"Uh, of course." Mavi didn't know why Li Qi suddenly paid attention to strange potions, but nodded and said: "There are, like wife orchid, placenta, gray dwarf grass, red dragon tongue, armor grass..."

He introduced: "Wife Lan, some nobles in the south like to inhale the ground powder, which has a strong hallucinogenic effect. They call it Ji Lan, but for us, Wife Lan is the main material for making stimulant potions. It can Give us fearlessness, like a wife who is waiting behind you."

"If you are curious about potions, you can go to the black market. Our pharmacists will go to the black market to sell and buy potions. I can help you easily find them and give them a discount."

What Mavi wanted to say was: "Just ask the spellcaster in your castle, if you don't believe him he doesn't understand anything."

But he also knew that the caster had a weird personality and was easily affected by some magic.

"I have benefited greatly from talking to you, Mr. Marvie."

"Are you two going back next?" Li Qi asked.

"With this sword, our mission is over." Ma Wei shook his head and said, "Next, we should find some missions and wander around."

"In this case, I have one thing I want to entrust to you two." Li Qi said: "My businessman Joe, he was once attacked by a monster on Pig Head Mountain. I promised to help him avenge him, but facing that monster There is really no other way, so I hope to hire the two of you to avenge Joe and fulfill my agreement with him."

"You are a benevolent lord," said Maev.

Hired people to help his subordinates take revenge, and it was still in Zhutou Mountain, which was far away from the porcupine collar and was not within Li Qi's territory.

He admired that very much.

"I am willing to pay 2 gold days as a deposit. If you can transport the dead monster back intact, I can add some more money, depending on the degree of danger."
