Lord of Rot

The coffin lid was lifted.

A corpse sat up suddenly.

Li Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the things in the coffin in surprise.

He did not control the corpse. If the other party can move, it means that what is born this time is... a corpse!

The corpse changed its appearance of withered skin, the skin was held up by muscles, and the hair all over the body turned fiery red, just like the bear.

The thin face is still ugly, but the skin is much tighter, and at least some parts are not droopy.

Of course, what Li Qi was more concerned about was how many of his words she could understand.

Li Qi quickly opened the necromancer's codex, looking for a way to tame the corpse, a spell that was simpler than controlling the corpse. If combined with the skills of controlling the corpse, loyalty would last forever.

"The loyalty of the dead is more reliable than that of the living."

His consciousness entered the other person's body. When he stood up from the coffin, he had to look up at the baron holding a torch. The change in height made him feel very strange.

Then came the changes in his body. He jumped lightly, like a nimble monkey, and his thick hands and feet clawed into the soil, allowing him to easily stick to the top of his head like a spider.

The running speed comes from the natural instinct of the group of cave monsters, and the strength should be the mutation brought by the red herbs.

Li Qi discovered that this monster has extremely strong night vision in the dark night and can see extremely far away, even beyond the range illuminated by firelight.

In addition, he tried to use the body of this ghoul to use the swordsmanship of the Wolf Killer. The faster speed and stronger strength made him more flexible and dangerous.

When he returned to his own body, he found it difficult to adapt to the heavy body.

"Come here" he waved to the red-haired corpse.

The other party walked over slowly.

"circle"

I waited for this command for about 3 minutes before the other party completed it clumsily.

"Okay, it seems like it's not a real ghoul, it's half a ghost at most."

Silly and stupid, unable to act independently and can only respond to a certain specific command.

But the changes in her body are obvious, and they are definitely far beyond the level of those cave monsters.

After telling the half-ghoul to stay here, Li Qi returned to his bedroom.

The entrance to the crypt is closed, and only the stone tablet stands conspicuously.

Next, he needs to boil the preservative and find a way to dig a second crypt. With the help of the red-haired half-ghoul, the process will undoubtedly be much faster.

Even if new half-ghouls cannot be refined, the group of crypt monsters are still good corpse materials, which can expand the defense power of the Porcupine Territory.

In the afternoon, Li Qi was led by the housekeeper and saw his slaves. They were shackled and huddled together like frightened birds, terrified of everything around them.

In other words, showing fear is their own protection.

A new master will not like a slave who is bold, curious and lacks awe.

"Does this mean they are mostly women and children?" Li Qi looked at the slaves and asked Simon.

The butler nodded: "Yes, my lord."

The women looked malnourished, some of the men were disabled, and some were old and weak. Most of the slaves and children stood aside, looking timidly at this handsome lord in gorgeous costumes. all lives.

"I am the lord of the Porcupine Territory." Li Qi looked at the slaves and swept his eyes: "Here you can cultivate land and get a chance to fill your stomach."

Originally, he wanted to give a speech, but the condition of this group of people was beyond his expectation. Their various physical conditions made Li Qi worried about whether one-third of them could survive this winter.

The slaves knelt on the ground and thanked them noisily, with several accents mixed in, some of which he couldn't understand at all.

They should be foreigners who became slaves during the war, or came to the East Gorge due to the slave trade.

"What are they talking about?" Li Qi looked at the housekeeper.

The butler looked blank: "Sorry my lord, I guess it might be Hexon, or Panbo."

"That's the dialect of the Giant's Foot Mountains. They are begging for mercy, Master." A lame man said bravely.

The men from the security team on the side were about to come forward with sticks. Slaves were at the bottom of society. Cross-class chatting would not make the nobles look down on them, but would give them a good beating and teach them a lesson.

Li Qi raised his hand to stop him. He looked at the lame man. He had a mole between his eyebrows. The three children standing cowering behind him also had the same mole. Maybe this was a family inheritance? It looks like bugs lying there.

"Can you understand?"

The man nodded: "Before I became a slave, I went to some places at Giant's Foot."

Li Qi was not interested in the lame man's past experience. He looked at the man's face and saw that he looked quite handsome. The dirty faces of his three children could not hide their genetic advantages.

In this world, beauty comes from blood, and blood inheritance only exists among nobles. Ordinary people can only remember who their grandfather is. They are ignorant and ignorant of history. They don't know the origin or tomorrow.

Li Qi asked, "What's your name?"

"I am Ak, Master," the lame man said immediately, knowing that when the lord asked his name, he would have his chance.

"You tell them that they can reclaim wasteland and fill their bellies here, but don't think about escaping."

"Yes"

Ake asked his eldest son to help him stand up on one leg. He spoke loudly to the slaves who could not understand the words. Soon the slaves began to cheer and chant loudly.

"What are they singing?" Li Qi asked.

Ark replied: "He is singing of your mercy, master."

"But I am not only kind." Li Qi said: "They gave you the management of Ake, and I will give you a few people to help. Although the people in the Porcupine Leader are not xenophobic, they should not steal things or hang out under their noses. , stay where you should be, I can barely guarantee that you have food to eat and have the strength to work."

"Yes, Master!" Ake said excitedly.

Slaves could not receive treatment like civilians, but they were grateful just to fill their stomachs without losing their lives.

Li Qi must also maintain this status gap.

"Help me farm the land, and all the profits will belong to me, as long as I take care of the meals," Li Qi sighed. The biggest beneficiary of the existence of slaves is the nobles. Fortunately, he is a noble.

Then Li Qi went to see the only blacksmith in Porcupine Territory.

He was in his twenties, not very tall, and had a mole on his ear that looked like a lesion, turning half of his ear pitch black.

"I am Black Ears." The young blacksmith bowed to the lord riding a tall horse. He had a general understanding of this territory, poverty, poverty, poverty.

It doesn't matter to him that the lord is poor. The blacksmith can live well no matter where he is.

What he cares about is that he has only one blacksmith in this territory!

Black Ears knew what this meant.

Li Qi was not surprised by the blacksmith's name.

"So Black Ears, what will you build?"

"Farm Tools" Black Ear said: "I have been an apprentice for several years, but my master never allowed me to make swords and armor. I was fed up with the life of forging hoes every day, so when Lord Simon invited me When I was here, I chose to come here without hesitation and choose to be loyal to you. Please rest assured that I have been watching the master build weapons for a long time. I am familiar with those steps and I will definitely be able to help you build an unrivaled army!"

An… armchair blacksmith?

If he really needs armor and a long sword, he should go to Iron Stone City to buy them, where there is the most famous blacksmith in Dongxia, instead of wasting resources and energy on a blacksmith apprentice.

"No" Li Qi shook his head: "What I need are farm tools, and you have to make farm tools when you come here."

Black Ear's expression changed, he wanted to show off his skills.

Li Qi said to the blacksmith's apprentice who had high ambitions but low ambitions: "You have your own blacksmith shop in the Porcupine Community."

"Yes, my lord!" Black Ear lowered his head.

I definitely can't go back to Iron Stone City. There is no shortage of blacksmiths there. He is just an apprentice and can't make much money. But in Porcupine Leader, he is the only blacksmith, and all the money he earns from hoeing belongs to him.

This was all he could do to comfort himself.
