Lord of Rot

Chapter 305 Return to the Porcupine Territory

A gust of wind blew.

On the iron wall fort, the flags were blown loudly.

The porcupine sewn on the flag seems to come alive, swaying and running in the wind.

Li Qi looked back while riding his horse, followed by a group of soldiers and a convoy.

He had to go back to Porcupine to get it. After all, he had been away for more than a month, and there were still some resources to exchange.

Today's Iron Wall Fort is barely on track, focusing on construction work, and there won't be any major problems in a short period of time.

"It is imminent to open up the connection between the cliff coast and the Iron Wall Fort. If it is impossible, I can only ask Betty to prepare more explosives."

Exploding a way out is better than no way at all.

It only takes a few days to travel from Porcupine to Iron Valley by boat, but taking the overland route can take at least ten and a half months, and can take up to more than twenty days. Baron Li Qi cannot afford to waste this time.

Some valuable things, such as herbs from Beech Village, mushrooms from Lilac Village, and kerosene from Hazelnut Village, were also brought back by him.

Leave Iron Valley and take the ferry in Shuijiandi to the north.

The road was quiet and nothing strange happened.

Just arrived at the pier and looked at the Longship Castle in the distance.

"Sir, someone wants to see you." Luo Bao's voice came from the side, and Li Qi turned to look over.

The person who came was wearing a cloak and looked like a woman.

It wasn't until the other party lifted the cloak covering his head that Li Qi recognized: "Miss Yilin?"

"Good day, sir." Irene bent down and said, "I brought you a letter from my wife."

Carrot on the side jumped off the horse very discerningly, trotted over to receive the letter, and then delivered it to Li Qi.

Li Qi opened the rolled letter.

There is only one line on it: "See you in a month."

According to Li Qi's calculations, Mrs. Jie Lin will give birth in about a month.

He had arrived at Longship Castle, but the other party stopped him.

"I understand." Li Qi nodded and asked Erin, "Is the Monkey family coming to Longship Castle?"

"Yes" Erin nodded.

Li Qi had lost contact with the two ghouls at Longship Castle because they were too far away, and he didn't know what happened.

His consciousness quickly connected with Guy, and he quickly learned the whole story through him.

La Bill came to Longship Castle and claimed that he would help Guy take the position of Baron of Longship Castle, but he needed Guy to bring the entire Longship Castle to support him and consolidate his rights.

"I always feel like something is wrong," Li Qi said secretly.

Ra was originally the heir to the monkey family. As long as he didn't die, no one could replace him and become the monkey baron.

But no matter what, Longship Castle itself will definitely not be able to go.

Li Qi said to Yilin: "Tell Mrs. Jielin that I will definitely be there."

"Yes!" Erin nodded.

The team went ashore and continued toward Porcupine Territory.

Erin put on her cloak and watched Li Qi's team getting further and further away before turning back to Longship Castle...

After marching in a hurry and spending several days, we finally returned to the Porcupine Territory.

The porcupine flag brought cheers.

Li Qi was riding on his horse, looking at the residents on the roadside, feeling very comfortable.

The porcupine collar is his starting point, his home.

It's only when I come back here that I feel familiar and relaxed.

Even without the report from Grant and others, Li Qi looked at the vast fields and more and more houses and knew that the Porcupine Territory had not stopped developing during the more than a month since he left.

to the castle.

The soldiers could finally breathe a sigh of relief and go to rest.

All the top stewards of the Porcupine Territory greeted them at the door, and the maids and male servants lined up in the distance.

"My lord!" Grant said, "You must have won the battle!"

"I only win battles," Li Qi responded with a smile.

The convoy brought back by Li Qi stopped in the spacious yard of Porcupine Castle. After dismounting, he could not relax but greeted the male servants: "Send those mushrooms and herbs to Vic. I miss him." Need to look into something new.”

Herbal apprentices are experts in this field.

"Those barrels of kerosene...wait a moment and come with me to the alchemy workshop."

"Sir..." Grant took a step forward.

Li Qi said to Grant: "Glen, I know you must have a lot to report, but I just want to take a shower now."

Grant nodded helplessly: "Of course, my lord."

Fat Steward Hay Cao's style of doing things is all-consuming, even a bit despicable. He never strives to be the best, but only wants to complete Li Qi's instructions, but he does it quickly and without Li Qi having to worry about it. Grant is the complete opposite. He works very carefully, but his work efficiency is much slower. He has to constantly ask Li Qi for instructions on many things. Li Qi hopes that the advantages of the two people can be combined.

After taking a bath, your body relaxes.

Li Qi sat in the meeting hall refreshed. There were many people to report today.

Grant said: "The watchtower will be built in the next few days, sir."

"So fast?" Li Qi didn't expect it.

"The construction team of masons is becoming more and more skilled," Gulen said. "And several craftsmen have invented gadgets to speed up the work."

The next period of time was almost spent by Gulen reporting on what happened in just over a month.

New houses are being built, and a large dormitory for 4,000 people will definitely be built by the end of April.

Don't even think about living in an exquisite way. If everyone had a new house, the entire Porcupine Territory might not be able to build such a house in a short time without doing anything.

"The potatoes you requested have been planted"

Li Qi nodded: "When the new batch of slaves arrives, we must ensure that there is enough food."

As long as he can fill his stomach, Li Qi is not one of those rigid nobles.

"There is also corn," Li Qi said: "The batch of corn I harvested before is almost time to plant now."

"We are already preparing for farming, sir."

"Well, very good" Li Qi nodded.

When potatoes, corn mature, and winter wheat are available, the Porcupine Collar will not be in a big food crisis.

Corn is the king of feed again, and the scale of livestock farming in the porcupine collar can also be expanded accordingly.

All the best.

"And sir, two huge moths came out of the pupa you left earlier."

Li Qi leaned forward slightly and asked, "Moth, nothing big happened, right?"

"No." Grant shook his head: "Trevor killed them before causing trouble. No one was injured, but before that they laid three hundred eggs as big as a fist."

Three hundred eggs represent three hundred giant silkworms in the future.

"Go deep into the dense forest," Li Qi said. "Build a sericulture village there and find some strong people to raise them, separate from weaving."

He doesn't have that many extraordinary people guarding him. Only by keeping Silkworm away from the crowd can he avoid big problems.

"Yes!"

After Grant's report was over, it was time for 'Lucky Boy' Joe, who was mainly responsible for business issues.

"Sir, there were no caravans coming to Donggang City last month, but there was a group of merchants who were relatively talented in arithmetic. I am planning to support them in doing business."

Commercial shipping is not that frequent, and there is only a small pier in Pig Tail Bay.

Li Qi said: "It is right to support businessmen. I believe you in this aspect."

There are also some small business details. Basically, Qiao is talking, and Li Qilai is giving the final nod.

Lord, just nod your head.

After resting all morning and having a quick lunch, Li Qi went to find Betty first.

Telling about the explosion effects, including Li Qi's conjecture, helped Betty improve the subsequent development of the alchemical bomb.

Li Qi determined one thing through the last explosion, high-yield weapons must exist!

The power of firearms is very limited, especially when facing extraordinary enemies.

But powerful weapons are different. After killing an extraordinary person last time, Li Qi had a deeper understanding of "all living beings are equal".
