Lord of Rot

Chapter 249 Curls on the cake

The news brought by the Water Fairy made Li Qi have some interest in the sea world.

Currently, the construction work of the pier has to be stalled due to weather conditions.

Li Qi hasn't reached the point of killing the goose to retrieve the eggs. It doesn't matter if he goes slower. If people want to get sick less often, every loss of a population will make him heartbroken for a long time.

But navigation is not a problem. Without a dock, the ship is not unable to sail.

Porcupine Collar Tavern.

As soon as I opened the door, a smelly warmth hit me.

The tavern was packed to the brim. In order to accommodate more people, the tavern had to add a few more tables on the road. When I stood at the door and looked inside, it was dark and full of people.

The stench comes from this group of people. They don't have the conditions to take a bath in winter, and the people in the tavern are crowded to the point where people are next to each other. Even one person's breath can raise the temperature of the entire tavern.

Rich men like to come here for a drink.

The person who came was the castle footman. He stood at the door of the tavern and asked loudly: "Is Piri here?"

No one ignored him.

There was a lot of chatter in the tavern, it was a mess, and before a word from the butler could be heard, it was covered up by other sounds.

The manservant took a deep breath, and the smell made him want to cough.

In the castle, the housekeeper has extremely high requirements for everyone's personal hygiene. He will not only check whether to take a bath, but also whether to wash his hair.

It is said that the reason for checking whether to wash your hair is because the lord saw some hair and dandruff on his desk, and a few curly hairs floating on the lord's afternoon tea cake.

As we all know, the lord has black hair.

The lord didn't say anything about the color of his hair. He just asked the butler to check everyone's personal hygiene. The chef must wear a hat.

Also, wash your hands after using the toilet.

Although the lord seemed calm, it was said that all the chefs were punished and a raging wind blew in the castle.

The little maids who were usually lazy also worked much harder.

The footman shouted loudly: "Pili! Your lord has invited me!"

The tavern suddenly became quiet.

As long as they hear news related to the lord, others will lower their voices and listen carefully.

"Yes!" In the corner, Lao Pili, who had taken off his shoes and was buttoning his toes, stood up suddenly, put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed.

An old face suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

He grabbed his boots with both hands, stepped in with one foot, shouted "Give way", and squeezed out of the tavern with difficulty.

After leaving the tavern, Pili clutched his clothes tightly with both hands, hunched his neck and asked the manservant: "Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." The manservant nodded lightly and walked quickly: "Follow me."

"what's up?"

"I don't know."

Seeing that the manservant didn't want to talk to him, Lao Pili didn't care. It was normal for the servants in the castle to think that he was superior to others. Everyone in the tavern was making fun of him just now. Who knew that as soon as they talked about it, the manservant of the castle came? .

And as the captain, the Lord must be asking about the ship.

Porcupine leads the pier to spend a lot of money, and the pier is growing like weeds. It is estimated that when the weather is better, it will be officially put into use.

The two of them walked quickly all the way to Porcupine Castle, one behind the other.

The temperature in the empty castle was not as good as that of the tavern. The tavern was a bit smelly, but it was warm with the crowd.

It was only when there was a burning fireplace where the lord was, that the temperature became more comfortable.

"Good day, sir." Piri immediately bowed and saluted.

Li Qi stroked the cat gently, while Qingtian lay on his knees, squinting and purring comfortably.

"Piri, how's the sailor training going?"

"It's almost done!" Piri said: "Last year I often took the sailors to train on the boat. As long as we don't encounter bad weather and strong waves, it will be no problem!"

I haven't asked you in detail yet, so you're planting your flag first?

"Get ready, I need the Porcupine to set sail."

"Yes!"

The next day, it was sunny.

The sun was shining on my body, and the coldness was relieved a lot.

The sailors took the boat to the Porcupine, and Reacher stood on the shore, looking at the ketch with the Porcupine flag in the sea, and the little people running back and forth on the deck.

He couldn't hear what the people on the boat were saying. After raising the sail and weighing the anchor, the Porcupine sailed away.

"I want you to help me take care of them." Li Qi immediately contacted the Water Fairy.

"Ok"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

After some polite exchanges, Li Qi turned a transcendent being directly into the nanny of his own ship.

The headland crypt is also open.

In the underground castle, the huge pool is filled with magic antiseptic.

It was soaked with the huge body of the ghoul monitor lizard, and there was a dark area covered with dead birds of different sizes.

When Li Qi needs them, some of them will become disposable consumables or recyclable types to serve as Li Qi's eyes.

Normally, the birds trained by Pitts are the main ones, which saves worry and effort.

Other ghouls have their own coffins, so they still need to be treated differently.

A corpse bird struggled to get out of the antiseptic. After shaking its body, it spread its wings and quickly flew out of the headland crypt, and soon caught up with the Porcupine.

The Porcupine's first voyage went very smoothly, and it made a circle in the waters near Pig Tail Bay.

Li Qi couldn't figure it out. If he could understand a little bit about land vehicles, he knew nothing about boats. Even the wooden sailboats seen in the movies were equipped with artillery. There were few as primitive as the Porcupine. See.

Pi Li came ashore and walked towards Li Qi, very energetic.

Piri, who was traveling as a captain again, seemed to have become younger.

"Sir, I think the Porcupine is ready to head to Donggang City, or the North!"

"Very good" Li Qi nodded: "But I want the Porcupine to head in one direction first. I got news about an uninhabited island. Maybe the Porcupine can go there and have a look."

There is only one large island near the East Gorge, Monkey Island.

It has nothing to do with the Bill family. The Earl of Monkey Island is Bol II, but he is more like a nominal lord.

Because it is far away from the mainland, Bol II does not even go there for several years. He does not believe in the Four Gods there. I heard that the people on the island do not live a very good life. They are short and they are not talking about the mainland of Lurea. lingua franca.

It seems that there are a few serfs in the Porcupine Territory who are Monkey Islanders, but they were sold to the mainland as slaves early. Apart from the Monkey Island bloodline, they are completely Lureyan in culture and ideology.

Except for Monkey Island, some islands do not have their own lords at all.

Li Qi would not go to the island to develop, staying away from civilized society is simply asking for trouble.

The target he just mentioned is the small uninhabited island where the Water Fairy saw the monkey family go. Maybe he can get some information from it.

What exactly does the Monkey Family want to do? Since it's all a trial run, why not go and have a look.

With the Water Fairy as a "radar", it couldn't be safer.
