Chapter 421 For the greater good
Chapter 421 For the greater good
"Oh, my pearl~"
When Li Qi saw the lord of Mama City, the lion Mama, to be honest, he was very disappointed.
Among the many lords in Lurea continent, the area of Mama City is definitely not large, and it is not even comparable to the territory of Porcupine Territory. Don’t forget that Porcupine Territory is close to the sea, has rivers, and dense forests provide firewood. It can be said that apart from being a little smaller, the transportation is a little poor, the population is a little small, and the planting area is a little narrow, it is still very good.
It is not the extreme business model of old man Lild, that is, relying solely on fighting to establish military exploits and plundering, being too lazy to farm, and being indifferent to the territory.
So, it would not be difficult for a Porcupine leader with a family of two to three hundred people to make ends meet.
Especially when compared with Mama City, which lives naked in the sand...
But it is such a small family that can only hide behind the city wall and has no way to grow its own food, but it relies on its own special operations to make Mama City famous.
Li Qi originally thought that he would see a man who was more ferocious but wiser than the Baron of the Golden Cauldron, or a man who looked gentle like his grandfather, the old crocodile, but was actually decisive and fierce in his actions. However, what he saw with his own eyes was a man with a puffy figure. The middle-aged fat man with distracted eyes kept shouting: "Oh, my pearl~".
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
"Who is this?" He looked at Li Qi, a little confused, as if he had just realized how many people there were in the room.
The soldiers following Li Qi took the initiative to take a step forward.
"Standing before you is the Baron of the Porcupine Land, the Baron of the Iron Valley, the Favored One, the Conqueror of Fire, the Fearless One, Lord Reacher Clarence!"
Unknowingly, I have accumulated a lot of titles. I wonder if I can compete with King Boer II in the future to see who has the longest title.
When Li Qi was thinking wildly in his mind, no one could see the change in expression on his face.
"I am the lord of Horse City, Lion Horse." The Lion obviously did not expect that Li Qi had so many titles. He himself was much simpler.
Each title represents a legend that will definitely be recognized by others, and it is difficult to copy. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed if you boast that others have not heard of it.
The favored one represents Li Qi who was assassinated by his stepmother but came back to life. The conqueror of the flames means that he made a name for himself by relying on muskets and cannons, making the magic development tree slightly crooked. The fearless one represents that he took the lead and killed through the city wall. Guards on top.
"Sir, can you tell me about Princess Sophia's life experience?" Li Qi asked.
Lisu Mama also looked at her father. She knew her life experience very well.
But seeing Li Qi so serious, and a group of wandering knights insisting that she was Princess Sophia's daughter, she couldn't help but have self-doubt.
Am I really a princess?
"She is indeed not my biological daughter" Lion Mama sighed: "But she can't be Princess Sophia either."
Li Qi smiled and waited for the lion to continue. Of course he knew that Lisu Mama was not Princess Sofia, but if he wanted to legitimately intervene in the desert war, he had to have a defensible reason. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, Anyway, I found it.
This is a good excuse to directly help the daughter of the previous Princess Sophia put down the rebellion and regain everything that belongs to her.
After the words get out, let's fight. If I win, then what I said is completely correct.
If you lose the fight, what I said is bullshit.
The only enemies in his eyes were orcs, buffalo Earls, wild boar mercenary group, or others, which together were not enough.
Knowing the whole leopard at a glance, being able to win over the wild boar mercenary group as a treasure, and even grant him the title of viscount, the power of the Buffalo Earl must not be very good, at least it can guarantee that he is definitely not at the palace level.
Lion Mama said: "She is the daughter of my sister."
Lisu Mama's eyes widened, she didn't even know!
I thought I had no blood relationship with my father, but I didn't expect the truth to be like this.
"My sister has the wild nature of the Mama family in her bones." Lion Mama recalled his sister, just like an old man who always liked to recall the past at the last moment of his life: "Lisu was almost the same as her, but she didn't have it at the time. Following my advice, she quietly escaped with a desert bandit. When I found her again, she gave birth to Lisu, but she herself also died in childbirth on the hospital bed."
The lion Mama looked at Lisu with infinite doting in his eyes: "I will not allow my sister's daughter to wander with a desert bandit. They are not even married. Lisu can only be an illegitimate daughter. That man will also treat Lisu." Su regarded it as a burden."
There is no need to explain what happened next, Li Qi can already guess it.
The best way to deal with it is for the lion Mama to find a woman and voluntarily become Lisu Mama's mother, and then he marries her, and the child will naturally remarry with the mother and change her surname to Mama.
Li Qi has been basically immune to the bloody stories between nobles. To be honest, except for Lisu's mother who chose to elope with a desert bandit, the rest of the story is still very warm.
But this will not change the impression of the father and daughter in Li Qi's mind. He will only think that the robbers who kill and set fire without batting an eye actually have family ties and are not really as cold as a knife.
He even doubted whether Lisu Mama's father voluntarily gave up raising his daughter, or whether he was voluntarily given up raising his daughter.
"From today on, she will be Princess Sophia." Li Qi looked at Lisu Mama: "Princess Sophia gave birth to her in secret back then, but the princess had discovered that Earl Buffalo had impure intentions, so she asked the maid to use a cat to kill her. After the child was replaced, Count Buffalo only thought that Princess Sophia had given birth to a monster. After secretly disposing of the cat, he covered up the news. In fact, the maid secretly took away the princess's daughter and kept her name anonymous..."
Li Qi looked at the lion Mama and said: "In the end, she married you, Sir!"
People don't care about the authenticity of the story, but they tend to care about the eye-catching factors in it. Trading the cat for the child is obviously a good reason, and it can also explain why there is no news that Princess Sofia has given birth to a child.
The most important thing is to learn from others.
His tone was firm, this was not a discussion, but a request.
When he arrives and they accept his help, they should be mentally prepared to lose all sovereignty.
"Yes, sir." The lion Mama understood that starting from today, this city will change its owner, and he must follow Li Qi's instructions and tell the story he told.
That's good, at least the daughter of my favorite sister has become Princess Sofia, and her safety and future are guaranteed.
Lisu Mama's mood changed rapidly. She didn't expect that her life experience would be so bizarre, but she would soon have to accept an even more bizarre life experience as a princess.
Li Qi was not afraid of Earl Buffalo's anger. In addition to the orcs in the desert, the slaves waiting to be liberated in High Blood City were also his targets. They were all his planned development population.
Now that we have reached this point, let's break up the relationship. It just so happens that there will be an excuse to sweep across the desert in the future.
For example: In the name of Princess Sophia.
Restoring the country is a good name.
After the orcs landed, Li Qi had a vague feeling that there would inevitably be more and more confrontations in the future. He should take control of this place and prepare for the orc expeditionary legion that might come again in the future.
He didn't think that after the orcs invaded this land, he would have a stable life and farm happily.
A certain line comes to mind: "For the greater good."
