Lord of Rot

Chapter 422 Scholar who specializes in magic

The conversation ended smoothly and happily.

From today onwards, the lion Mama will spend his old age in his own room, recalling his past and youth. The main hall of the city belongs to 'Princess Sophia' and Li Qi.

With the lessons learned from the past, Li Qi will firmly hold Horse City in his hands. It is not that he is full of possessiveness about a small desert city. Apart from horses, there is nothing here worthy of his attention. This is mainly to avoid trouble.

He didn't want another fire to happen in the backyard of Longboat Castle, and many of his planned things would even be affected.

Li Qi was unwilling to be held back in the future war against the orcs, so the power here must be concentrated.

"Be optimistic about those mercenaries," Li Qi said to Lisu: "They will be an indispensable force in the next war."

He did not let Lisu Mama emphasize his identity. Everyone has their own answer to her identity as Princess Sofia.

"war?"

She was stunned.

Isn’t the war over?

Li Qi seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, shook his head and said: "Today is not called war, it is called... entertainment at best."

If the orc army was so easy to deal with, why was he so nervous and on guard that he led the team to kill them directly.

The enemy has two hundred extraordinary beings, a palace, and an army of dwarf orcs who are not afraid of death, so the pressure is great.

After Lisu Mama left, Li Qi also arranged for his confidants to take over all aspects of Mama City. The most important thing was to check the number of war horses and the population of the city.

The people of Horse City can transform from merchants to desert bandits without any trace, which means that they will be excellent cavalry and can play a great role in war.

When night came, the disarmed mercenaries lined up outside to get food.

They talked a lot.

What awaits him may be imprisonment, hanging, or acquittal. There are more than 3,000 people. Baron Porcupine should not be so crazy about killing people.

Yes, Porcupine Baron, everyone knows that Porcupine Baron is the master behind the scenes.

Lisu Mama is Princess Sofia? Ha, you believe it, it’s so cute, suitable for rolling dung balls with dung beetles.

……

On the dinner table.

Everyone else is busy. Statistics and adjustments after the war are not difficult, but if you add more than 3,000 prisoners, it will be troublesome.

And it is said that more than a thousand "prisoners" are heading here later.

Tonight, only Baron Li Qi, who came to help, was invited by Princess Sophia to have dinner together... or so it was said to the outside world.

At the dinner table, Lisu Mama frequently peeked at Li Qi from the corner of her eye. What made her relieved was that Li Qi had no intention of having anything to do with her from beginning to end and ignored her beauty.

There is a wild nature in her bones, like an unruly wild horse. Political exchange may force her to put on a harness, but men who cannot conquer her will never be able to ride on her.

Facing this knight falling from the sky, her heartbeat did speed up for a moment, but she still didn't want to be exchanged as an item.

When Lisu Mama saw the elf girl Bai Lu, she understood that Baron Li Qi was definitely not a person who would be seduced by women. He was not interested in women like Bai Lu who were so exquisite that she felt suffocated. How could he be interested in himself?

When her charm failed to produce an effect, she subconsciously had some other emotions in her heart, but the emotions only fleetingly passed away.

She thought to herself: "Should I tear off those maids?"

They ate peacefully, and Li Qi asked about the situation in Mama City from time to time. Among them, the scholar who asked the most questions was the scholar.

Talents and scholars are the first targets Li Qi kidnapped.

Lisu nodded: "A scholar did come to Mama City this year. She claims to be good at magic, but she never uses it outside. She lives in a red-walled house outside the castle."

The lords were unimaginably tolerant of scholars.

It’s easy to understand Li Qi’s self-introduction. He also has a high tolerance for scholars. After all, he is a high-end intellectual and can create value that thousands of serfs cannot create.

"A scholar who specializes in magic?"

He knew a lot of scholars, but none of them claimed that they were good at magic...

Thomas scholar is good at magic alchemy and so on. Although his alchemy skills are very poor, academic research is his true specialty.

Betty was originally an apprentice, and she never returned on her way to studying explosions.

Vic, an herbalist apprentice, was kidnapped from Three Fork River Castle by Li Qi and knew nothing about magic.

There are also Tawen scholars from Iron Rock City and others.

There are specialties in the arts, but there has never been a scholar who specializes in magic. So far, Li Qi has not found anyone who is very good at magic to communicate with him.

This is what he has always regretted.

The ability to discover crypts and see red dots, yellow dots, and green dots comes from Reacher Clarence himself, an ability that his predecessor had before he died.

He has always believed that having a high talent for magic should be his real golden finger after time travel.

"When does she usually take a rest?" Li Qi asked: "If possible, I would like to visit her as soon as possible."

Li Su didn't expect Li Qi to be so interested in scholars, and said, "I can ask someone to help you inquire now. It is said that she rests very late, and sometimes day and night are reversed, so you can't see her only during the day."

"Really? Thank you so much."

Li Qi wiped his hands. He was still not used to eating with his hands.

But watching a delicate and beautiful girl eating food from her hands, like a kitten, is still very eye-catching.

Especially when she was concentrating on sucking her finger.

After dinner, Li Qi stayed in Mama City. He did not snatch the bedroom belonging to the lion Mama. It was not because the smell of old people and urine evaporating from the toilet made people dizzy, but because he did not snatch the bedroom with an old man. The idea is that respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue.

There were many rooms for him to choose from. Li Qi chose a room that was spacious enough and faced the south. The sun could warm the whole room.

While the castle valets and maids were tidying up his room and changing his bedding, he headed to the dungeons of Horse City.

Every lord will consciously build a dungeon in his own territory, and Mama City is no exception, which greatly facilitates Li Qi's movements.

There are no soldiers guarding the dungeon, because Mama City has not captured prisoners for a long time. The attitude of the Mama family, who has behaved extremely badly, towards their enemies is to slit each other's throats with a knife. Everyone is dead. How can there be any prisoners? .

This is probably why Mama City was besieged but no one came to support.

To be honest, if the Wild Boar Mercenary Group hadn't suddenly placed Li Qi as a hostile target and intended to expel him from the desert, he wouldn't have wanted to be the savior of Mama City. This group of desert bandits with no bottom line could do nothing but fight. Apart from being able to kill and raise horses, he has no merit whatsoever.
