Lord of Rot

Chapter 460 Mysterious Iron Box

The team is moving forward. They have left last night's station, walked a straight road away from the Coso Mountains, and set off in the direction of Burning City.

Li Qi was riding on horseback and suddenly felt like he was seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West.

In particular, when his soldiers rode away on horseback, it gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Master, Master, there is a house in front of me. I'm going to get some vegetarian food. Bajie Laosha, you guys stay with Master and wait for me to come back~"

It is this feeling.

You carry the burden and I hold the horse~

"It's been so many years, and I've managed to survive without Wulin Gaiden and Journey to the West." He hummed, waiting for the scouts ahead to finish their work before returning to him.

"Has the fire been fully investigated?"

"Yes, sir, it seems that a noble was attacked by the tribesmen, and then a fire broke out. It is said that many noble ladies who were going to the Burning City to attend the ball were missing."

It's a dance again, the nobles have nothing to do, right?

Either having a prom, attending a prom, or just on the way to the prom. Is it that fun?

The entertainment in this world is too poor!

He even began to think about buying two theater troupes and rehearsing some interesting stage plays.

The most important thing is to develop a game that can entertain people. Magic is so amazing, it would be a shame not to engage in card battles.

Think about a group of people playing hearthstone in a tavern. It would be an interesting scene.

This will be one of his next research directions.

The soldier continued: "The fire last night did not spread. It is said that it was because there was a huge lake near the forest where the fire occurred."

Li Qi listened to the news from the soldiers' investigation and didn't pay much attention: "I have always heard that there are tribesmen at Giant's Foot before, but I have never seen them. I didn't expect that there would be such a big fuss."

Along the way, what he saw and what he heard were completely different worlds. Li Qi was not sure whether it was the creation of Giant Foot that did well, or whether the tribesmen were so suppressed by the noble faction that they all became mice. , in short... the road is so clean, there is no garbage in the trash can, no one on the bed, no clothes on the hangers, and no fallen leaves on the ground in the autumn of November.

I haven't encountered a single bandit, and I can't see a bandit in the mountains.

Being civilized is like sitting at the same table with old ladies and eating by accident. It's really clean.

"New news has come from the Porcupine Territory. Big breakthroughs have been made in rune research. Even magic scrolls have made breakthroughs. Alchemy has also made great progress." Li Qi was in a good mood. He was eager to return home and wanted to fly back to the East immediately. Let’s take a look at the research results of scholars.

In this world, magic is the primary productive force.

……

"Ladies, ladies! Women! Gentlemen!"

Amidst the cries, the man had to increase his voice again and again, so that he changed from a soft call at the beginning to a roar: "Stop crying!"

The sobs died away and turned into sobs.

In a hidden mountain forest tribe, a man with ointment on his body stared wide-eyed at the embarrassed noble ladies in cages. They were not persecuted in any way, and no one robbed them of their decorations or tore off their clothes. Clothes, but they just kept crying and howling, which made the crying people's heads swell.

"I am a gentleman! If you want me to keep it that way, then shut up!" His head deformed slightly, facing toward the head of an eagle, which frightened the sobbing noble ladies and opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to do. Is good.

"I gave you the opportunity to write, but I have not received a reply or ransom so far. My patience is limited."

A noble lady sobbed softly and said: "You ask for too much. My family can't afford 300 gold days at all."

There was something she didn't dare to say. The ransom for noble knights captured during the war was only 100 gold days at most.

The man ran forward two steps quickly, his body quickly became bloated, and he turned into an eagle-headed white bear with strange feathers, and his dagger-like beak opened: "That's your problem! I'm only responsible for collecting money!"

The noble lady's hair flew flying due to the roar and the air blast, and her cheeks were deformed by the blow. She opened her mouth wide and leaned back violently, and even fainted from the fright.

But the crying could not be suppressed again.

"It seems I'm too kind." His body quickly shrank, transforming from a hawk-headed bear-body monster back into a shirtless human appearance.

He waved his hand to the person guarding the cage and said, "Catch one of them and chop him down."

Only blood can make these people quieter. He was fed up with the irritable ladies. He really couldn't figure out why he coveted them so much in the past and wished he could stay in bed with them every day.

"Hehe, yes!" The tribesman next to him laughed ferociously, opened the cage door and got in, just like a weasel getting into a chicken coop, causing a commotion.

Soon an unlucky lady was caught.

"You can't touch me!" she screamed, but no one paid any attention to her.

She looked at the leader of the tribesmen, lowered her voice and whispered: "Everything is empty, nature allows it!"

Snapped!

What awaited her was not ecstasy and politeness, nor was she immediately kneeling down to beg for mercy, but a slap.

The slap from the transcendent was not a simple one. Blood immediately burst out from her mouth, her nose was deformed, and some teeth even flew out.

"If we raise enough money, we can join the Natural Cult," the leader said proudly, "The entire Eagle-Headed Bear Tribe will be blessed by the Natural Cult."

"Idiot! Idiot! I am the secret agent of the Natural Cult, shouldering the great command of Saint Ron!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that the group of brainless tribal barbarians in front of her would understand her importance, but her mouth was blocked It was swollen, and several teeth flew out. His voice became a whine, and I couldn't understand what he was saying.

A big hand grabbed her hair from behind and pulled her head back. She had to stand on tiptoes, and her throat was exposed like a bow.

The leader said cruelly: "Are you from Dongxia? I don't believe that those Dongxia girls would be willing to spend money to redeem you. They would rather buy goats."

He made no secret of his hostility towards Dongxia. Being able to kill a person in a hostile area felt more comfortable than earning 300 gold days.

A short blade was pressed against the woman's throat and passed quickly.

Thin red lines were carved on the slender white neck, and then the blood rushed out crazily, soaking the clothes.

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, but as her life force passed quickly, her eyes lost their luster.

"Ho ho ho..."

The body fell to the ground.

The leader of the tribesmen said: "Throw it out."

"Yes!" The tribesman responsible for the murder happily agreed. He could take advantage of the heat...well, he could take the opportunity to search for the other person's belongings. Although they were all decorations made of silver and small gemstones, their value would definitely not be higher than 1 gold day, the leader looks down on this small amount of money, but he will not dislike it.

Carrying the body and walking out, he searched the whole body with his hands and found a strange iron box. It was not big, but it looked very beautiful.

"what is this?"

The tribesmen tried to open the iron box, but failed.

He opened his mouth again, intending to bite it open with his teeth, but its strength was far beyond imagination.

So he gave up the idea of ​​forcing open the box and instead looked for an opportunity to sell it. Anyway, the things found on the poor woman's body were unlikely to be very valuable. They were probably small things like jewelry boxes.

Put it away first.

There was an earthquake last night and I was too scared to sleep.
