Bright Era

"Chuckchchuck", when Lin Qi and his party entered the door, a few bald-necked turkeys with no hair on their necks happily rushed past their feet. Two black-headed pigs with a black head and a white body and a white body staggered a few steps under the wall, and then lay down happily.

A dozen little piglets just stumbled and rushed up, lying on the belly of the big pig, vying for milk. There were not enough piglets, and some of the little piglets couldn't get food, so they opened their mouths angrily and bit their siblings on the little tails.

The little piglets were in pain. They opened their mouths for good or bad and bite randomly. The big piglet was bitten and screamed. The whole body of fat and trembling jumped up. A group of little piglets suddenly fell apart. Fleeing in all directions with a sharp cry.

Qiu Li's face became more and more ugly. He bowed respectfully to Lin Qi and said, "I'm very sorry, your Excellency Lin Qi, the country dwelling is simple and simple, and it is really a bit of negligence for the distinguished guests!" Qiu Li's heart was bleeding, he Get ready to tidy up the few servants who eat nothing but do nothing. Didn't he tell them to put all these animals in the shed and prevent them from slipping out?

Lin Qi waved his hand disapprovingly, and looked at these lively animals with interest and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's so vibrant and fun, I don't see it in normal days. Very good, very good!"

It's just a few turkeys and a group of pigs. If you spend six years with an abyssal bear, four centaur, and a large group of warcrafts, you won't find this unbearable. At least the air here is much fresher than Lin Qi's residence in the Dark Abyss God Prison, without the bashful smell that is characteristic of the Abyss Demon Bear in the handsome old lady.

Viscount Qiuli looked much better. He saluted Lin Qi and led the way, leading Lin Qi and others to the main house of the mansion.

This is a three-story building made of granite mixed with bricks and wood. Obviously the original builders wanted to make this building entirely out of granite, but the building was just half built and replaced with a brick and wood structure. Financial resources are lacking. It's just that this building is still neatly constructed, and the overall structure is not broken, giving people an unusually stable feeling.

A pretty young woman wearing a white dress stood in front of the main entrance. Seeing Lin Qi walking over with Viscount Qiuli, she gently bowed to Lin Qi and the others. This is the Viscount Chuli's wife, the lord of a small town more than ten miles away, the only daughter of an old knight. In other words, after the death of the Viscountess's father, Viscount Chuli will inherit the territory of that small town, thus smoothly expanding his power territory.

Although she was only born in a low-level noble family, the Viscountess was well educated since she was a child. From her manners, she was even better educated than Viscount Chuli. Therefore, her performance is more generous and decent than the Viscountry, her words and deeds make people feel like a spring breeze without feeling abrupt. Lin Qi is pleased to follow the noble etiquette and gently hold the little hand of the viscountess and give it gently. A kiss on the back of her hand.

"Perhaps we will have to harass for a few more days, there is Mrs. Lao." Lin Qi gave Arda a fierce look, and signaled that he must not trouble himself here-Viscount Chuli would not be his target, if he If you dare to do strange things to the Viscountess, Lin Qi will kill him without hesitation, and then advise his father to give birth to a few more obedient sons as soon as possible.

Arda smiled reservedly. He understood the strict warning in Lin Qi's eyes, so he stood aside obediently, except for occasionally glancing at Alithe, he really did not squint.

After the warm welcome ceremony, Lin Qi enjoyed a not luxurious but very rich dinner in the mansion of Viscount Qiuli. There are no too expensive and rare dishes here, but the roasted whole lamb is made very authentic, the roasted turkey is made very pure, and the little suckling pig is also very popular. It is paired with fresh river fish and a few freshly caught birds. And a lot of delicious vegetables, this dinner is really impeccable.

Not to mention the enthusiastic couple of Viscount Chuli, and two barrels of good wine that existed in the cellar when this mansion was built.

This is the great wine left by the great-grandfather of Viscount Qiuli, and it is also a military reward given to Viscount Qiuli's great-grandfather by Grand Duke Lanyue a hundred years ago, the first-generation master of the Viscount. The wine is the finest brandy produced by the Gaul Empire, and it has become an intoxicating wine with a century-old cellar.

After the host and guests enjoyed the dinner, Viscount Qiuli invited Lin Qi to his study.

Although it is only a small Viscount’s mansion, although the sparrow is small and complete, the Viscount’s mansion still has all the necessary facilities. The study of Viscount Qiuli was full of books of various colors. Although the dust on these thick books showed that very few people read them, it also represented that the little noble family of Viscount Qiuli still had a little background.

Except for the books on the bookshelves that few people read, there is a huge sand table in the middle of the study, which aroused Lin Qi's interest. He strode to the sand table about five meters in length and width, looking for Viscount Viscount with enthusiastic eyes. The position of the collar.

Seeing that Lin Qi was so interested in the sand table, Viscount Qiuli also walked up and proudly introduced the origin of the sand table.

"This is a military sandbox rewarded by the Grand Duke after my great-grandfather made his military merits. My great-grandfather was just an ordinary civilian, but he joined the Grand Duke’s army to open up territory for the Principality and was defeated twice in three border wars. He was awarded to the army of the Silver Valley Kingdom, so he was named a hereditary viscount by the Grand Duke and obtained this territory."

Lin Qi nodded vigorously, and at the same time verified the geographical knowledge one by one on the sand table according to the geographical knowledge taught by the young man in the Black Abyss God Prison.

The Yun clan surveyed almost the famous mountains and rivers of the entire Western Continent. Naturally, they would not let go of this canyon channel connecting the two empires. The fourteen forces of Lanyue Principality and Silver Ancient Kingdom were also mentioned in the lectures of the young man.

But Viscount Qiuli, the small force among such small forces, the young man is too lazy to explain. Now facing the sand table, Lin Qi was surprised to find that Lanyue Principality was originally located in the middle of the valley, and the Viscount Qiuli was located in the southernmost part of Lanyue Principality.

Starting from Viscount Chuli, one day north is the capital of Lanyue Principality; five days west is the Gaul Empire, and six days east is the Caesar Empire. If you go to the south, crossing the steep mountains of the Abynese Mountains, to the southwest is the sacred mountain, the headquarters of the church, and to the south and southeast, you can directly enter the territory of the Vias Commercial Federation.

What is called the main road of communication, this is the main road of communication.

Lin Qi’s finger was on a high post near the Viscount Qiuli. This high post several hundred meters high, if you build a regular war fort on it and station an elite heavy cavalry, you will be able to stand on top of it. Overlooking the entire Lanyue Principality, cut off the traffic of the entire canyon channel.

And in the south of Viscount Qiuli, in the lofty mountains with a radius of thousands of miles, if Lin Qi remembers correctly, there is a small exit from the Fifth Abyss World in this mountain. Let the gods go to hell, what a nail spot.

If you can develop your own power here, the appendix of the mainland, it can really become the appendix of the entire continent-it doesn't matter if it doesn't move, but if it becomes inflamed, it will make the entire continent feel heartbroken.

Let’s take a look at how many places the Viscount Chuli can influence. In addition to the two empires, the church headquarters, and the Vias Commercial Federation, there are several empires, kingdoms, and duchies in the southern part of the two empires within the radiation range of this little viscountry. . In other words, this point can almost determine more than half of the exchanges and transportation between the eastern and western parts of the western continent.

Looking up at Viscount Qiuli, who was standing next to the sand table and talking about his great-grandfather's glorious past, Lin Qi couldn't help but laughed-the person holding a golden rice bowl and begging, a mere thousand gold coins a year? This viscount had a miserable life than a small merchant in the Gaul Empire.

With a light cough, Lin Qi hooked his finger at Bilibili.

Bilibili eagerly ran over and took out two good cigars from his space ring. One handed it to Lin Qi and the other to Viscount Qiuli. When Viscount Qiuli saw the platinum case outside the cigar and the Chamber of Commerce badge with the crown on the cigar, Viscount Qiuli's face turned black!

He had seen this kind of cigar once, when he went to give a New Year gift at the earl's mansion that ruled this area. He had seen this kind of cigar once in the hands of the proud earl. Only this time, he hasn’t seen the second time—that’s because Lord Earl did some private affairs for Grand Duke Lanyue, and was appreciated by the Grand Duke, so he took it out of a gift from a large chamber of commerce to the Grand Duke. Ten cigars were awarded to the earl.

"Earth Mother Emperor", this kind of cigar is called earth mother emperor. It is the best cigar produced in the Goblin Continent. The market price is three thousand gold coins. Each cigar is sold for three years' worth of Viscount Qiuli. income.

Viscount Qiuli's hands were trembling, he didn't even know what the mother earth was like, anyway, when the first puff of smoke was inhaled by him, he was completely intoxicated-he was thinking about his puff of smoke How much gold coins are worth!

Seeing Viscount Qiuli's sometimes pale and sometimes red face, Lin Qi flicked the soot lightly and said faintly: "Then, I have a proposal. Be my vassal family, Viscount Qiuli. I will. Use the power of the family to support you. In the future, maybe I will let you replace Grand Duke Lanyue, and even I will let you get more. Are you willing?"

Viscount Qiuli raised his head abruptly, he looked at Lin Qi in horror, and did not say a word for a while.

Lin Qi repeated his question again, and Viscount Qiuli's face had turned dead white.

As Lin Qi repeated his question for the third time, Viscount Qiuli suddenly fell on one knee in front of Lin Qi.

"Then, Honorable Lin Qi, from then on I will be your most loyal follower." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your Support is my biggest motivation.)
