Lord of Rot

"Every time I pick up this picture, I can't help but praise the Lord."

In his hand, Grant held an aerial view of a porcupine collar.

Although the painting is a bit rough, the painting is very detailed, as if it were really flying in the sky and looking down at the porcupine collar.

'Lucky Boy' Joe stood aside and nodded in agreement: "You are right, he is the most kind and knowledgeable noble I have ever seen, just like a knowledgeable scholar."

Grant smiled and shook his head: "The wisdom required to run a barren land like the Porcupine Territory is far beyond what a scholar can compare with."

During this time, as the weather gradually became colder, the slaves finally finished building the house.

A house made of wood, mud, stone, etc. is a bit ugly, but it can protect it from wind and rain.

"Well, Your Excellency asked me to send people to explore the dense forest of Pig Ridge Valley. Those people should be back soon," Grant said to himself.

Although for some reason, the lord seems to be very afraid of something in the Pig Backbone Valley, he is also very interested in it.

"You have an enviable amount of work," said Qiao, "I just do a little bit of work for you every day and then eat. I feel like a waste."

Grant shook his head and said: "No, you are the son of a merchant, Qiao! What you can do for me is far more than me. I need the caravan to make a profit."

"But not now" said Joe.

"That's right, not now" Grant nodded.

The Porcupine Leader is in dire straits, there are simply not enough manpower to operate the caravan, and they have no goods to sell, so they have to wait. However, looking at the changes in the Porcupine Leader day by day, both of them feel that escaping poverty is not enough for the Porcupine Leader. Words are close at hand.

Training Course.

There are roadblocks on the road ahead, and a few scarecrows with target paper in the distance.

Li Qi was riding on the strong-maned horse, holding the reins with his left hand: "Drive!"

The fierce-maned horse began to run wildly and quickly rushed to the roadblock.

Regardless of Li Qi's control, the horse actually raised its front hooves, and Li Qi also jumped up in coordination, crossing the roadblock one man and one horse.

At the same time, he quickly reached behind him and grabbed a javelin.

The hand was thrown violently.

Whoosh!

The javelin turned into a black shadow and flew out, spanning a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and accurately struck the target paper.

The scarecrow was penetrated instantly and kept shaking.

Li Qi pulled the reins, made a sharp turn with his horse, and then pulled out his sword and swung it, and a scarecrow next to him was cut in half.

"Huu~~" He pulled the reins and stopped.

The guards on the side quickly loaded their spears.

charge!

The strong-maned horse sprinted quickly, and the horseshoes clicked on the ground with a rhythm.

The knight knocked over the scarecrow with his spear, and the training ended.

Li Qi turned over and dismounted.

Someone took the fierce mane horse away, and someone else took Li Qi's spear.

"I still need retinues to help carry guns, lead horses, and wear armor." The baron cannot recruit these people at the moment. Retinues of nobles are the fast track to becoming knights. They are usually held by the sons of other nobles who are close to the family. When they are older, If there are enough, or if the qualifications are sufficient, an "investigation ceremony" will be held, and the subordinates can also become knights.

Ordinary people become retinues of nobles? Don’t even think about it!

This is the exclusive track for the nobles themselves.

The track belongs to ordinary people, and they can only fight hard on the battlefield and achieve enough meritorious deeds, just like their father Lild.

Li Qi has made the black-haired slave into a dead corpse. There is no magic item bonus and it can only be an ordinary dead corpse. However, Li Qi has obtained the master-level throwing skills as he wished.

To this end, Li Qi also asked Hei Er, a blacksmith apprentice who only knew how to make farm tools, to forge several javelins for himself. The javelins were poorly made and the weight balance was not good. If the javelins were made by an excellent blacksmith, Li Qi would have Confidence turns into a "Porcupine missile" on the battlefield.

The footman came over with a basin. He knew the Baron's habits, so he didn't come forward to help wash his face.

"Sir, lunch is your order of fried clams and garlic scallops."

The concept of stir-frying does not exist in the continent of Lurea. People are not used to stir-frying with a spoon. They roast, stew and occasionally fry.

Li Qi asked the blacksmith apprentice to build a pot with a handle, and built a small stove for the chef, Barrel. When he used it for the first time, Barrel sincerely praised that this thing was much easier to use than a hanging pot.

The chimney of the stove will draw the smoke away from the rear, and the cook who will not smoke will burst into tears.

The chef was completely impressed by the baron's wisdom.

Grant and Joe can have lunch with Reacher, and the spices make the seafood even more tempting.

"All the slaves have moved into the new house. They thank you for your kindness." Grant reported the situation of the porcupine collar. Since he arrived, Reacher did not have to worry so much about the porcupine collar. He only needed to use raven to check it from time to time. Two eyes are enough.

There is no need to leave the castle, but the development of the entire Porcupine Territory is always controlled by Li Qi.

"But those slaves will soon be idle."

Neither Grant nor anyone else was willing to let the slaves rest.

One is that slaves have no human rights, and the other is that everyone is afraid that slaves will cause trouble.

All the bards in the world have nothing good to say about slaves.

"There are no craftsmen in the Porcupine Collar now," Li Qi said to Qiao, "Maybe you can help me find some craftsmen and tell them that there will be a steady stream of work here and double the wages."

Since we can't find anyone, we have to spend a lot of money to dig. Currently, Porcupine Collar is still making a profit by relying on small pills, which just allows Qiao to send this month's small pills to Iron Stone City.

Joe, who finally had his own job, was surprised and said: "They must come to Porcupine collar non-stop and fall in love with it!"

"Oh, by the way, sir," Grant said, "You asked me to arrange for people to go into the dense forest to investigate. I have already arranged it. They did not find any beasts, but they found big footprints, like some kind of huge beast, but The strange thing is that not long after they followed the footprints, the footprints disappeared, as if the other person suddenly flew into the sky."

Joe laughed: "How is that possible, Mr. Grant? If a bear could fly, how big would its wings be?"

Rather than a flying bear, Joe was more willing to believe that it was the farmers' excuse for missing the footprints.

"Well done" Li Qi nodded.

Now he was 90% sure that it was a gryphon.

Griffon grass, a huge flying beast, what else could it be but a gryphon?

A very strong and impulsive idea arose in his mind.

Capture that gryphon? It's obviously not normal. With the porcupine leader's current strength, even if the opponent is a lion that can only run on the ground, it will be difficult to catch it.

And even if the griffin is captured at a huge cost, how can the griffin be tamed?

However, catching a griffon is difficult, but seducing a griffin shouldn't be difficult.

According to the records in the book given by Tawen scholars, the food of griffins is horses, but there is a chance of one in 10,000, or even one in 100,000, that the griffins did not eat the horses but chose to "play" first, then there is May give birth to a magical creature, the Hippogriff!

Li Qi's blue herb can greatly increase the probability.

If you're brave enough, gryphons will have to take maternity leave!

But you have to make sure first whether the griffon is male or female.

A griffon can ride a horse, but a horse may not have the courage to ride a griffon.
