Lord of Rot

Chapter 259 High Magic Land

After everything was packed, Li Qi left with only the corpse of the speed-type extraordinary person. The boat of the monkey family would be left here. After all, he had already killed people, and the news had been hidden. Merchants who come to Porcupine Collar will surely recognize the ship's origins.

It's better to put it here, and wait until the monkey family is solved in the future, and it won't be too late.

The other bodies were left on the island and asked Ayame to stay here too.

She will turn all corpses into skeleton soldiers, including the Transcendent who was beaten into a sieve in the first place.

"After Ayamei finishes her work, I will thank you for bringing her back." Li Qi said to Fairy Mizusawa, and then added: "Thank you."

"You're welcome"

The Porcupine departed and headed towards Pigtail Bay.

Li Qi had his own exclusive rest cabin, and after resting for a while, he left the cabin and came to the deck.

It was just dawn.

It was the first time for him to watch the sunrise at sea, no matter in his previous life or in this life.

The porcupine soldiers who experienced the battle last night were very excited. The most exciting battle in the world is that the opponent's entire army is wiped out, and our casualties are zero.

Some soldiers woke up, took water and poured it into the barrel, and then wrapped a stick with a cloth and poked it into the barrel to wipe it.

At the same time, they were still chatting about the wonderful battle last night, even though they didn't see the enemy at all, they agreed to this battle.

Gunpowder residue can cause the barrel to clog, and cleaning becomes very important.

After cleaning, they would pour a small amount of gunpowder and dry the barrel with the ignited gunpowder.

They are more experienced than Li Qi in using muskets.

Trevor walked out yawning. After one night, the wounds on his body had scabbed over. Although his body's self-healing ability was not as good as that of the recovery-focused ghoul Ina, it was far beyond the level of ordinary people.

"Good day, my lord" the way he greeted was very awkward.

What might be awkward is the four arms.

Blowing the sea breeze, Li Qi casually asked, "When did you awaken this power?"

"This summer" Trevor said with a smile: "When I was fighting with a group of mercenaries in the north, I was caught. At a critical moment, I suddenly grew two extra arms. With these two arms, I killed Others escaped and went to Dongxia to seek a living."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course, my lord." Trevor nodded.

The porcupine crest hung on the boat, and he could see it even if he didn't want to.

"I don't need your allegiance." Li Qi turned his head and looked at Trevor: "Because I know that you mercenaries will not be loyal to anyone, but you will not betray your interests, and you will not make trouble with your own life." .”

Looking at the suddenly nervous Trevor, Li Qi said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, or imprison you, I will hire you."

"You work for me, I can give you double the price, remember" he paused, looked into Trevor's eyes and said: "No matter how high the other party offers you, I will always be at that price double!"

Trevor said with a smile: "If someone wants to ask me to kill you, I will definitely discuss the price with you first."

Li Qi also smiled: "I hope you don't forget to wash your neck first."

The Porcupine crossed the ocean and returned to Porcupine Collar.

After he disembarked, Quickblade came to greet him with a party.

"Give him some work." Li Qi pointed to Trevor who was following him, and said to Quick Blade: "You can ask him to help train soldiers and fight, but I spent money."

Quick Blade looked at the four-armed mercenary and nodded: "Yes!"

His receptivity is getting stronger and stronger, isn't he just a person with four arms?Not surprising at all.

We have also seen monitor lizards the size of two carriages, flying horses, maids chatting with animals, maids controlling bugs, and so on.

Four arms, too common, okay?

"Carry the cocoon to the castle," Li Qi continued to order.

Li Qi handed over the body of the Transcendent and the wind cavalry helmet to Aina, and she would carry the body back to the crypt on the headland to refine a new ghoul.

This expedition won the battle, and all the participants received the silver moon as a reward, and the rest of the money was pulled by a carriage and sent to the castle.

After the big and small things were ordered, Li Qi took the crown and found Scholar Thomas.

"Scholar Thomas, do you know this thing?"

The crown is placed before the Thomas scholar.

Scholar Thomas frowned slightly.

"My lord, I have never seen this kind of crown, but it gives me an ominous feeling."

Li Qi asked, "Like tempting you to wear it?"

"Yes!" Scholar Thomas nodded: "Although I'm not sure who it belongs to, I have seen many similar things in books. They carry the consciousness of their owners before they were alive, and they possess very powerful power. , if someone can't resist the temptation to wear it, he will be led to a path that should not belong to him."

"Shouldn't it be?"

"It shouldn't be!" Scholar Thomas nodded heavily: "They will change their personalities drastically, just like a different person."

"Could it be that the body was robbed?"

"No, it's not about snatching the body." Scholar Thomas shook his head: "It's about being bewitched and gradually becoming like the owner of this thing. Perhaps it is eager to return to its owner in some way."

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then said: "I've heard of a ring before, it seems to be similar to it, and the last ring was thrown into the volcano."

Scholar Thomas had never heard of the ring that Li Qi mentioned, but he only thought that he hadn't read enough books.

There is no doubt that the wisdom and knowledge of adults are no less than their own. Maybe he has read books that he has not read.

Li Qi felt very sorry: "So, this thing is useless at all."

I thought it was a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be a Supreme Lord of the Rings.

It's not a good thing to wear.

"If you don't want unmanageable trouble, you'd better never touch it."

"I will." Li Qi nodded.

In the case of insufficient strength, don't be curious.

Li Qi returned to the castle with the crown, entered the cave of his necromancer, and threw the crown in.

"Well, no one can get this thing now."

After returning to the castle, I suddenly remembered that I didn’t seem to ask Thomas about the island, why the creatures on that island are all amazingly big, a crab as tall as a person, a moth as big as a calf, and one as big as two fists. Glowing conch.

"Meow~"

Hearing the meowing of the cat, Li Qi turned around, only to see Qingtian with a crescent on his forehead and a brass dragon biting in his mouth.

Just now when it opened its mouth to meow at Li Qi, the Brass Dragon seized the opportunity and escaped from the cat's mouth.

It fell on Li Qi's shoulder: "You are finally back!"

"You two have a really good relationship," Li Qi said.

"Where did you find out!" Brass Dragon said aggrievedly, "After you left, this guy bit me and ran around every day, treating me like a mouse!"

Li Qi bent down, grabbed Qing Tian and hugged him in his arms.

Qingtian raised his claws to catch the brass dragon, but because of the distance problem, he couldn't catch it at all, and Qingtian still remembered Pitts' emphasis on it many times, and he didn't dare to be too domineering in Li Qi's arms.

Honestly get fucked, meow.

This is my job, meow life is not easy, and I have to coax the lord.

"By the way," Li Qi said, "I went out this time and found a very weird island with very large creatures."

"Big?"

"That's right, I'll take you there to have a look"

As a serious foodie, of course Li Qi wouldn't waste that giant crab, and wanted to bring it back for research and research, so that if it wasn't poisonous, it would still be a real treat.

He put Qing Tian down and let it play by himself, and then brought the brass dragon to the open courtyard of the castle.

Four or five soldiers worked together to lift the giant crab down from the carriage.

At least there are 5-600 pounds.

I didn't see it clearly at night, but looking at it now, I feel shocked.

The thick shell of the giant crab is covered with moss and has attracted many barnacles.

There are many small shrimps and crabs living between the legs, and it seems that it regards it as its own home.

The most eye-catching thing is the smashed half of the crab. At this time, it tilted, and the sea water rushed out from the smashed part of Li Qi.

"Lead a dog here," Li Qi ordered.

"Yes!"

Soon a dog was brought over. Li Qi pulled out his sword and gouged out a piece of crab meat the size of a fist and threw it to the dog. When he moved the knife, the crab's legs moved.

"Not dead? No! The body is not dead."

Li Qi was shocked by this. It had been a night, and the crab's body was still very active.

The dog happily ate the crab meat, its tail swung wildly and swept up the dust all over the ground.

After a while, the dog was still alive and well.

"It's not poisonous, it's very good." Li Qi asked someone to take the dog away.

"How, what do you know?" Li Qi turned his head and asked the brass dragon on his shoulder.

The voice of the brass dragon was a little jealous: "You are so lucky to have found a high magic land."

"High magic?"

"That's right, Gao Mo, the creatures that grow in this kind of area will break through the growth limit because they absorb high-concentration energy. It seems that the blood of this crab is very ordinary, and in the end it just becomes bigger. Like this kind of area It is very suitable for growing potions, dragons generally like to find this kind of place to doze off, and sleep for decades."

Li Qi was too lazy to complain about sleeping for decades, and dared to say it was casual.

Human beings also sleep for decades, but that is called a vegetable state.

"Planting potions?"

The island is not small, if it is possible to plant potions.

Li Qi asked: "If some people with good qualifications are allowed to live on the island for a while, will they become giants?"

In this way, wouldn't he be able to create a powerful new race?
"Impossible, human beings cannot grow into giants, but living in that environment for a long time, human beings may awaken the power in their blood."

"But crabs can grow as big as people, and moths can grow like calves. Why can't it be replaced by humans?" Li Qi sighed: "In this world, when it's time to talk about magic, Popping out some scientific disruption."

The power in the blood can either become extraordinary or become a spellcaster.

Li Qi even began to think about whether he should simply move the school of Porcupine Collar to that island.

But he thought about it and let it go.

They didn't know how many similar giant crabs there were, and they didn't explore the island carefully, so they didn't know the specific situation on the island.

The cooks, who suddenly received an order from the lord, felt the yard coming in a panic.

Looking at the huge crab, the chefs couldn't help exclaiming.

"My lord, it's so big!"

"Huh?" Li Qi looked at the oak basin, but after seeing the other party's serious eyes, he thought that he must have thought wrong, and they were saying that the crab was so big.

"Try to make a dish with this crab," Li Qi said, "Steamed, braised in soy sauce, or minced garlic, it's all fine."

"Yes!"

The cooks came with axes.

One of the chefs held an ax in both hands and slammed down one leg of the crab.

"Ouch!" The chef took two steps back, the ax in his hand fell to the ground, and he swung his hands vigorously.

You can tell how hard the shell is by looking at the size of the crab, so the chef is mentally prepared before doing it, and uses all his strength to split the crab.

But unexpectedly, the crab's legs didn't move at all, but the force returned from the shock almost made his palm bleed.

Someone picked up the ax and found that the blade had been curled.

And look at the crab...in perfect condition.

The powerful slash just now was useless.

"Try it with a saw" A chef proposed an idea.

Soon they brought a chainsaw, but after sawing for a long time, they found that there was only a faint white mark on the crab's leg.

Let the soldiers do it again, their strength is much greater than that of the chefs, but the effect is not bad.

This crab is harder than iron.

"Let me try"

Li Qi picked up a long sword, took a deep breath, and slashed fiercely.

click!
A crab leg was chopped off by him.

Suddenly a group of people exclaimed.

The same weapon in the hands of others is not even qualified to scratch the skin of a Cancer.

But after switching to the lord, the crab legs can be cut off with just one stroke.

"My lord, I will trouble you to cut a sword here too."

"My lord, please help me split the crab legs in half."

"grown ups!"

The chefs rushed forward and asked Li Qi to help divide the ingredients.

In the end, all these delicacies will enter his mouth, so Li Qi doesn't care, just be a coolie, at least all the delicious food is his own.
