Lord of Rot

Chapter 485: Ticket to the Big Library (4000 words) (page 12)

Five-star General MacArthur once said that if he came to this continent from the earth and saw the scene that Reacher saw, it would be the most gorgeous performance he had ever seen in his life. There is no one. From now on, this performance will be the same as Jerusalem is equally famous.

All other troupe performances pale in front of it, destined to attract the attention of countless people when the torch is lit.

Li Qi watched as the actors who rushed in lit torches and threw them high into the sky.

The torch fell, but the actor failed to catch it.

There happened to be a woman wearing a skirt next to him, and the torch lit her skirt directly.

"Ah! Help, help!" the actress screamed.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"

The fire spread quickly, and the actress' body seemed to be poured with oil. In the blink of an eye, she was completely covered in flames.

The acrobatic troupe was noisy, and everyone hid far away. Everyone could only watch the lady in the long skirt being swallowed up by the fire.

The guards rushed over immediately to protect the nobles on the table.

Li Qi was unable to enter the protective circle because his seat was too remote.

"Oh, my God!" Queen Orianna clasped her hands on her chest: "This..."

Bol II, who was drinking heavily, seemed to have sobered up, but he was not panicked. It was just that a man was burned alive. It was not a big deal, but it was just a big day, which affected his mood a little.

No one likes to burn an innocent person alive at a banquet to welcome guests.

Others also had different expressions, including disdain, panic, confusion, fear, etc.

Li Qi watched the burning man move tremblingly and rushed forward with long strides.

With his extraordinary body, even if it was burned by fire, it would not be able to cause much damage, not to mention that he had many life-saving things on his body, just flames.

"Sir Qi Li!" Looking at Li Qi walking towards the burning man, someone shouted subconsciously.

The queen subconsciously covered her mouth.

Red Rose opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

Little George looked at the figure rushing towards Pyro, his eyes shining with light.

It was a very unwise choice to get close to the flames now. The flames seemed to have consciousness. When they sensed Li Qi's approach, they even actively spread in the direction of Li Qi, intending to wrap him in the fire.

On the heat wave pavilion, Li Qi frowned slightly, but his movements did not stop. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he reached out and grabbed the hand that Huoren extended.

I just wanted to grab the opponent and spin him around a few times, then throw him to the ground and roll him hard to put out the fire.

But he didn't expect that the moment his palm touched and squeezed the opponent's wrist, the flames exploded.

Bang~!

The sparks bloomed and turned into butterflies with spread wings, flying in all directions with faint light and warmth.

Li Qi seemed to be in a fiery red snowflake.

The dazzling beauty dissipated, and the actress who had just been swallowed by the flames had put on a pure white dress.

She was held by Li Qi's hand and stood there.

On the cheeks with small freckles, the brows were slightly wrinkled, as if Li Qi grabbed her hand too hard, so it hurt.

"Wonderful performance!" Little George, the second prince, took the lead in clapping, and others also responded.

Turns out it was just a show!

Li Qi was also stunned. The effect of the show? Next is the moment to witness a miracle?

"Thank you for your help." The actress glanced frequently at her grabbed hand.

"Uh, it's easy." Li Qi let go of the other party's hand and heard the other party heave a sigh of relief.

According to the actors' plan, they should have wanted to become a Pyroman, and then touch a certain noble, and finally complete the gorgeous transformation. Unfortunately, they misjudged how dedicated the guards around the king were, and they could not get close at all.

Li Qi, the only one who came over to help, almost broke the actress's hand in desperation.

After returning to his chair and sitting down, everyone turned their attention to Li Qi. Queen Orianna did not hide her admiration and looked at him frequently. Even Red Rose no longer pretended to ignore it and looked at him with this kind of person. Put it on Li Qi.

"Sir Qi Li, did you know that the flames were fake?"

"I don't know." Li Qi shook his head. He looked at the others and found that their expressions were normal.

He also understood that he had indeed scared himself just now.

Because of his constant speculation before, Li Qi just mistakenly thought that someone would take advantage of the chaos to attack the king. He didn't want to get involved in trouble that had nothing to do with him. Fortunately, it was just a show.

The second prince looked at Li Qi with eager eyes: "I don't know if there is any danger, why do you still come forward?"

Li Qi subconsciously avoided the other party's aggressive gaze. He never forgot the other party's special hobbies and would hide whenever he could.

At the same time, he also explained: "Because she reached out to me for help."

"Haha, cheers to Sir Li Qi's bravery!"

The performance just now obviously used some kind of specially configured alchemy product, or the flame created by a strange potion. It was a bit like prop magic. If it was magic, Li Qi could identify it immediately.

Rather than using props to create flames that could not hurt anyone, Li Qi was amazed at the acting skills of this group of people. He had really mistakenly thought something had happened.

After the sudden but extremely effective performance just now, the actors did not dare to do anything stupid anymore. They followed the rules and threw torches, balls, etc., and performed some minor acrobatics that were not very dangerous.

By the end of the banquet, everyone was about to leave.

The king suddenly asked: "Sir Li Qi, are you interested in going hunting together?"

"My honor, Your Majesty!" Faced with the invitation, Li Qi didn't even hesitate, he bent down and answered directly.

"I fell in love with your porcupine wine!" said the king. "From now on, all the wine in Bearcastle will be bought at the porcupine collar! No, this hunting will also be used!"

The acrobatic troupe performers all received their rewards, and everyone left one after another.

The second prince, George Klein, was ordered by the queen to send his fiancée back, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously more interested in Li Qi, so when he left, Li Qi noticed the look from Red Rose, and he quickly blinked to express that he I really didn’t want to compete with her for a man, it was all a misunderstanding!

Red Rose looked at the Baron who blinked at her and left. She suppressed the impulse in her heart. She understood that it was a signal to her. As long as she wanted to escape, Li Qi would definitely take her to escape. What happened just now Blinking was a way of assuring himself that he still remembered this.

"Your Highness" She turned and looked at the person beside her.

She was engaged to her brother, but married her younger brother after his death. She was unable to change anything, and even had to accept it all for Dongxia.

"You can call me Little George," the second prince said, "We will get married soon, Evangelion."

"Yes, George" she nodded.

"I'll take you back"

The distance between the two people can even fit two more people in. They are trying to accept each other, which is powerless over their own destiny.

While walking back silently, the two of them were thinking about the same man in a tacit understanding.
