Lord of Rot

Chapter 486
The bed in Wangdu was a bit soft, and after a night, Li Qi got up with his waist supported, feeling even harder than he had fought all day.

As a guest invited by the king to participate in the hunting, Li Qi has the qualification to enter and leave the gate of Bear Castle at will. Thinking that there is still some time before the evening dance, Li Qi simply went around the city.

Busy streets, couples holding hands, men fighting coolies, and children begging along the street, gave Li Qi the illusion that he had strayed into a chaotic illusion.

They are distinct, walking on the same road but have no intersection.

Until the appearance of a figure temporarily broke the invisible barrier, a man in ragged clothes and knotted hair pounced on a certain beautiful lady, trying to snatch the precious gemstone necklace around her neck, but he ignored the handsome man next to the lady. youth.

The other party was even taller. Although he did not wear a weapon when traveling, with his strong body, it could not be easier to stop a beggar's sneak attack.

The handsome young man didn't choose to do that. Instead, he hugged the beautiful young lady into his arms first, and after turning around half a circle with his head in his arms, he kicked away the beggar attacker who was approaching.

The beggar who was kicked down struggled for a long time before he got up, staggered and squeezed into the crowd, and even vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, probably not far from death.

Li Qi looked at the beautiful lady with a flushed face, and the handsome young man with a calm smile, and for a moment he couldn't figure out who arranged the scene of the hero saving the beauty.

"The Golden Bear Soldier is here, it's the Golden Bear Soldier!"

"Give way"

The gathered melon-eating crowd automatically spread out a path, and two soldiers in armor came walking with swords in their arms.

"what happened?"

One of the soldiers saw Li Qi and took the initiative to say hello: "My lord, good day!"

They should be the soldiers who followed Yan Kein yesterday.

Li Qi nodded, and said simply: "Just now I saw a person attacking this young lady, but was blocked by this gentleman, and the person ran in that direction."

With a finger, the crowd dispersed automatically.

But the two soldiers had no intention of chasing them, and Li Qi didn't bother to take care of those. After all, it wasn't his territory, and he was just here as a guest.

When he walked into the crowd, he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled lightly. He looked down and saw that it was a boy in ragged clothes.

After the other party quickly slipped a note to Li Qi, he got into the crowd and disappeared.

"Stone sculpture of the guardian of the four gods' faith, the direction of the sword tip"

Only Allen can bring the news.

Li Qi suppressed his doubts, found someone on the side of the road to ask for directions, and then left under the surprised eyes of the other person, as if Li Qi broke the dialogue of class and violated some kind of taboo in the royal city.

The stone sculpture of the Guardian of the Four Gods Faith, that is, the statue of King Paul II, is three people high and is carved from a single large stone.

He holds the sword in his right hand, the balance in his left hand, and the shackles on his shoulders, with a benevolent smile on his face.

Everyone who enters the royal city for the first time will come to admire this symbolic statue, but according to Li Qi's understanding, there are also stone carvings of the Lord of the New Sun, stone carvings of the undefeated golden bear, etc., just like the rockery in the scenic spot, placed in this key places in the city.

Li Qi looked in the direction the sword was pointing at, and found a little girl begging there.

When he approached slowly, the little begging girl raised her hands and looked at him eagerly. Li Qi took out a silver moon, bent down and put it in the girl's hand.

"Second table at the back of the tavern."

After speaking, the girl took the silver moon and trotted away.

A few passers-by who saw the silver moon in the girl's hand had greed in their eyes. They were afraid of Li Qi, but not a begging child.

Watching a few people stalking and chasing after him, Li Qi reckoned that they would suffer a lot.

"These children who grew up at the bottom are like mice in the stinky gutter, not so easy to deal with."

In order to survive, even the lions dare to pounce on them. When they have been exposed to the lowest life since childhood, they either completely collapse, or their characters are unimaginably tough.

And Li Qi noticed that there were many beggar children standing guard around the girl. They used their own methods to protect their own safety. That should be Alan's request. After all, these children don't have to worry about food now, and they can cooperate to complete the task.

Li Qi rushed to the tavern and sat down on a chair.

Soon a person sat down at another table behind Li Qi.

"Martial law in the entire king's capital" is Alan's voice. He didn't use extraordinary power or other means, but just said a few words while pretending to be drinking, and then the two chatted with their superhuman hearing.

"What's going on?" Li Qi asked.

Allen replied: "It is said that it was hunting for a celebration. By the way, the man you met just now is called Peide, one of George's lovers."

"Lover?" Li Qi remembered very clearly that the other party rescued a woman, and it seemed that if he continued to develop, he would have to discuss life in bed.

"Men and women take it all," Allen said: "If you are targeted by him, you will be in trouble. It is said that he got the minister's mother and daughter."

"..."

Li Qi gulped down his beer, calmed down, and then asked, "Is George Jr. behind him?"

"I don't know, but when the scandal came out, no one troubled him, and he lived a good life." Allen said, "Maybe he used the things in his crotch to help others, and that was a good gun, hehe."

"There's no need to worry about him." Li Qi was too lazy to care about those, he asked, "What else?"

"A lot of big shots came to this celebration hunt, you are a big shot in East Gorge," Allen said in a respectful tone.

Li Qi grinned: "Then I'm really honored, no wonder Paine let me come."

"..."

"There will be a black market tomorrow." Allen told all the news he knew, which is why he was arranged by Li Qite to come back.

He was blind to this place before he came here, but now, Li Qi is working hard to get in and keep his vision healthy.

"It's always good to go shopping." Li Qi expressed his wish. Although he doesn't have such a strong demand for strange objects and supernatural things now, it would be a good thing if he could buy some special and interesting things.

Alan continued: "I am following your order to arrange for the little mice to investigate Prince George. He has lived near the capital all year round and has not been back to Winter City for several years. Some people suspect the death of the eldest prince Hugo Kein." It has something to do with him, because there are rumors that Prince George is the illegitimate child of Prince George and Queen Orianna."

"..."

They are all from the Keyin family, and there are no advanced identification techniques in this world. It is really difficult to tell whose species Little George is.

"It is said that Queen Orianna inherited her character from her ancestor Orianna, and she is very playful."

"uh-huh"

Love to play, Li Qi understood.

Li Qi was just about to say something, when he suddenly saw a mouse on the beam of the tavern, looking at him with mischievous eyes.

He grabbed the table knife and swung it violently.

"Squeak!!" The mouse screamed, but was nailed to the beam and could not move.

The travelers who were drinking around saw Li Qi showing his hands and applauded.

Li Qi didn't pay attention to these people, turned his head quickly, and quickly locked on a figure who was leaving in a hurry.

He no longer cared about those things, and forcibly pushed away the crowd who squeezed over to watch the excitement. A dozen people were swept away by his arms, like a surging tide, and fell down in unison. Li Qi rushed out from the door with difficulty, but barely watched Seeing a fleeing figure, he finally plunged into the crowd.

He tried to trot to catch up with him, but after running halfway, Li Qi had to stop. He completely lost track of the other party. There were too many people in the city, and the location of the tavern was at the crossroads of the traffic hub. , wanting to find someone in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Adult" Allen also squeezed out of the tavern, and followed behind Li Qi.

"Immediately let all the little mice investigate... that's not right!" Li Qi said, "Tell them to beware of all animals and avoid being eavesdropped."

Others may not care, but Li Qi has Pitts who is an animal whisperer next to him. He knows very well what the beast whisperer can do. A smart and humane mouse has definitely been trained by the beast whisperer for many years. from.

Being able to talk to animals is the biggest advantage of a beast whisperer.

"Beast Whisperer?" Allen was surprised. He had seen Pitts' ability and knew how capable that short-haired girl was.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he and the baron didn't talk about too secret information, and the baron was noisy, so the other party probably didn't get any useful information.

"His target is not me." Li Qi said: "Go back and let the little mice investigate. Is there any other important person in the tavern with us? He should come here for the other party, and the beast whisperer, you know what to do To deal with him, don't be followed."

"Yeah." Allen nodded.

"But although his target is not me, my target must be him. Don't let that beast whisperer go."

"Yes!"

Li Qike still remembers the time when necromancer Ayamei cooperated with a beast whisperer when he participated in the round table. Now that the necromancer is soaked in magic preservatives all day long, how can Li Qi bear to let a beast speak? The speaker is alone and wandering outside.

There is a high possibility that the other party is the beast whisperer that he knows, and the other party liked to control mice very much in the first place.

If not, you can also try to spend money to recruit, he doesn't think there are too many talents.

After a few words of instructions, Li Qi turned and left. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them just paused while rubbing shoulders, and then went their separate ways.

Next, Li Qi seemed to have really become a tourist in the capital. He went to the blacksmith shop and found that the blacksmiths here had good craftsmanship, but the work efficiency was very low.

It is even more incomparable with Master Jinkai.

However, the armor-piercing javelin produced by exquisite polishing is very interesting. The heavy-weight javelin has a slender tip at the front end, which can easily pierce shields and armor. The only problem is that it is too long and not light, so it is not suitable for carrying. carry.

Li Qi bought a few at random, including some other weapons, and planned to let the blacksmiths learn to study them after returning home.

Then he went to a nearby shop to buy some food and replenish the food in the snakeskin bag.

Time passed slowly, and finally it was dusk.

Li Qi returned to the stone sculpture again, and a carriage was quietly waiting for him by the side of the road.

"Lord Li Qi?" The groom saw Li Qi approaching, and asked.

"It's me." Li Qi nodded.

"Get in the car, please," said the groom, "there are things prepared for you inside, please change inside, and I will knock on the door to ask you to get out of the car when you get there."

Li Qi nodded: "I'm sorry."

He got into the carriage and closed the door.

There are two things on the seat.

One is a hooded robe that covers the whole body.

The other was a bunny mask with only two small holes for looking out.

"Alice in Wonderland theme?" Li Qi picked up the rabbit mask and put it on his face.
