Lord of Rot

Meetings of nobles are usually accompanied by cocktail parties and dances, but Li Qi has never experienced those. In short, Porcupine has no money. The former Baron of Porcupine Castle is not only a pauper, but also has few friends, so he will not hold cocktail parties and dances. , others will not invite him. Of course, the current Baron of Porcupine Territory is also a pauper. Although he gained more than ten pounds of gold last night, he has already squandered it all.

The last time the red-haired girl came with her brother, they left in a hurry and didn't even rest here for a night. It was enough to see how much they disliked the porcupine collar in the backcountry.

Next to the Porcupine Collar is the territory of another "Spark Baron" Marvin Simon. They are separated by the Pig Back Valley. To be more precise, the porcupine collar is separated from the other end by a mountain range.

Iron Stone City in the Pig Backbone Valley is one of the extremely wealthy areas in the East Gorge because there is an iron mine there. The two Leopold brothers left early just to rest in Iron Stone City.

There is an interesting saying about the title "Baron of Sparks". Even Marvin Simon himself hates being called that. The emblem of the Simon family is a hammer, and the family motto is "Hold a hammer, and rocks can burst into sparks." , but after Simon took over the family, he opened brothels like crazy, making Iron Stone City a famous "Holy Land" for a time. It is said that half-beast women from the mysterious southern continent can also be found there.

The Simon family always had to make something sparkle, so the lecherous Baron Marvin naturally became the "Spark Baron" who made prostitutes sparkle.

"My brother is feeling a little unwell," Evangelion explained, but halfway through she didn't know how to continue. She came here because Mrs. Alsop sent a message saying that Baron Reacher had died unexpectedly. According to The law of the kingdom passed the title to his brother Leo. Of course, it was best to send this news back to Roaring Keep and wait for them to wait for the message from their father's Raven Queen before taking action.

In the eyes of the Leopold brothers and sisters, there was no difference. It was the same for everyone. This was a shabby place that no one liked. Instead of wasting time waiting here, it was better to end it and leave early.

Fortunately, she came here on her own, and Evanjielin felt relieved. After depriving a baron of his title and territory without permission, the lords must hate her to the bone after this incident spreads.

No one is more stubborn than the lord when it comes to protecting their own rights and interests. For example, the lord enjoys the right to pay ransom after being captured, not only for the shining golden sun, but also to prepare for when he is captured in the future.

"It must be a scuffle among women," Li Qi thought to himself. He had also heard about the dirty things of the nobles. How could the other brother's brother endure it when he arrived in Iron Stone City? I still remember when Teacher James used to talk about aristocratic gatherings and ladies and ladies, he was always very happy.

In fact, he was also very curious about the "Holy Land", but it was a pity that Baron Li Qi was short of money.

Looking at the red-haired girl who suddenly paused, he changed the subject: "Maybe you want to know about my adventure yesterday."

"Of course!" the girl smiled: "I'm very curious about this."

There is nothing to say about exploring underground caves, and the whole process is very boring. It's pitch black, screams, and then injuries. Probably the only magical thing is that the seriously injured Baron Reach recovered due to the blessings of the four gods. Li Qi thinks that his ability to tell stories is not very good, but the girl can always ask questions and sigh about the "wonderful" parts of the story.

Perhaps this is the charm of "Red Rose", but he can clearly see his status at the moment and control himself instead of being obsessed with her.

He also believes that he will not be just like this in the future.

Compared to Li Qi and Evanjie Lin who were chatting happily, the stepmother Mrs. Alsop sat aside as if there were thousands of needles under her butt, and her teeth were almost broken behind the fake smile she was trying to force out.

Li Qi was not dead. It would not be that simple to kill him next time. She was actually still worried about whether Li Qi knew about her involvement and... why James was not here.

"Miss Evanjielin," Li Qi said after the girl's laughter stopped, "I have one more thing I want to ask you to help me with."

"As long as it's within my ability." The girl nodded slightly, as if she was paying for this pleasant noon exchange. She is the daughter of Duke Leopold, and she will definitely be the wife of a certain great lord in the future. Her abilities are also very good. Extraordinary, her promise is equally precious.

It can be seen that she really enjoyed chatting with Li Qi, but it cannot be ruled out that she has a sense of "punishing evil and promoting good" in her heart. The young baron who was killed by the vicious stepmother is ready to take revenge.

"It's Mrs. Alsop, my stepmother," said Reacher.

The stepmother was startled when her name was suddenly called. While she kept smiling, she also showed a puzzled expression.

Evan Jielin also showed a "sure" look.

"She is still very young and beautiful. She should not spend the rest of her life in this narrow, dilapidated castle with even leaky walls, wasting her youth." Li Qi exaggerated the Porcupine Castle, but Evanjie Lin But she nodded slightly. It seemed that in her eyes, Porcupine Castle was really an uncollapsed ruin.

After the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, Li Qi said: "I would like to ask you to mediate."

A few years after the war stopped, most of the men died in the battlefield, leaving many widows. The church issued a decree that widows could remarry to solve the problem of too many boys and girls.

In the eyes of some women, those lonely and unbearable widows know how to deal with men and women. If they stay alone in an empty house, they will easily seduce their men and pose a far greater threat than unmarried girls.

In some areas, widows remarry twice, three times or even ten times.

This is not a shame, and every time you remarry, you will be blessed by the church.

The baron's wife does not have to remarry, and the law cannot force the nobles. This is common sense that is generally accepted and will not be stated openly.

But the lord of this castle is Li Qi, and he has the right to marry any woman in the Clarence family, even if the only remaining woman is his stepmother.

Evan Jielin looked at Li Qi in surprise. She probably guessed the cause and effect after getting off the carriage and seeing Li Qi. There was no shortage of such dirty things among the nobles. As long as Li Qi could find some evidence, the murder of the lord's Elso Mrs. Pu will be sent to the gallows, but she did not expect that Li Qi would be so magnanimous.

It was just to get rid of the other party, not to kill or retaliate against the other party. Alsop would still be the wife of a nobleman in another place, and maybe she would be better off if she left the poor porcupine collar.

"You asked me to be a matchmaker, so there must be a suitable candidate?" Evan Jielin asked.

"Of course" Li Qi nodded: "There is an "Iron Bull Hoof" knight under the command of Baron Simon of Iron Stone City. I heard my father say that that knight was once captured on the battlefield, but he fought his way out of the siege on his own. I believe that only his bravery could be worthy of Mrs. Alsop."

Evanjieline's smile froze, and she looked again at the handsome young baron in front of her.

She had also heard of the "iron bull hoof" knight, but it wasn't the so-called riding of a bull back to the battlefield to seal the victory, but the fact that the other man liked to beat his wife, and she was kicked to death at his feet while wearing iron boots. He already had more than a dozen wives. Because his wives were all commoners, the commoners could not hold him accountable for murder. The nobles who could judge him only regarded him as a joke after dinner.

After all, he is a noble knight, and there will always be women who are willing to marry him, thinking that they can conquer each other with their own charm. After all, the iron bull hoof knight is one of the few knights and nobles who does not care about their noble status when marrying a wife, although those women always regard them as It ended with his life being kicked and his intestines pierced to death.

The so-called "Iron Bull Hoof" nickname is also because of his iron boots that can always crush his wife's stomach.
