Lord of Rot

Chapter 424 Puppet Fighting Game

The pause and conversation between the two at the door just now naturally attracted Li Qi's attention.

"Lord Reacher," she said, "Scholar Tonks has time now."

"Great!"

The two left the city lord's hall and stopped in front of a tall building on the edge of Mama City.

There are not many residents in the city, which is also related to the overall structure of the city. It is impossible to plant, there is no food, and of course there are not many serfs who can "pay taxes". A large area of ​​​​Mama City is used to breed war horses.

The overall shape of the small building is like an inverted boot, with a paper tube underneath, but when it reaches the top, there is an extra room to the right. This kind of unreasonable building has only been seen by Li Qi in MC.

Knock gently.

The person who opened the door was a little girl, about the same age as Akeke.

"Hello?" She looked at Li Qi curiously.

"We're looking for Scholar Tonks," Lisu Mama said.

"The teacher is upstairs." The girl stepped back and opened the door: "Please come in."

Li Qi nodded: "Thank you."

When the two entered the door, the room on the first floor was tidy. In addition to the girl who opened the door, there were two girls sitting at the table facing each other.

Li Qi walked over and found that in front of each of the two girls was a puppet, about the size of a thumb, moving very stiffly.

"Click" "Click" "Click"

The villains bumped into each other stiffly, fighting "fiercely".

Li Qi was fascinated by what he saw. This was definitely a use of magic. He believed that the other party was really a scholar specializing in magic!

The battle didn't end until one of the puppets' head was knocked off and he fell on the table.

The puppet's body didn't have any connections, and it fell into pieces after falling down.

The sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and Li Qi temporarily shifted his gaze.

What came down was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was not very beautiful, very thin, and did not have the "nervousness" of scholars. She was wearing a dark long skirt, from her left shoulder to her waist. Decorated with lace flowers.

There were several rings in his hands, with various colors. Li Qi could tell at a glance that those rings were rare objects.

He suddenly woke up, why didn't he think of making extraordinary materials into rings, necklaces and other convenient items to wear? Even if they were not used for himself, his subordinates could easily use them to improve their combat effectiveness.

But if you think about it carefully, it is easy to carry but not necessarily easy to use. How to do it will have to be studied slowly after Zhui Na returns from her studies.

After going down the stairs, the woman took the initiative to say hello to the two of them: "Good night, Mr. Li Qi, Miss Lisu."

When the little girls who were playing heard her voice, they stopped playing games and followed her, looking at Li Qi and Li Qi curiously.

"Good night, Scholar Tonks" Lisu greeted with some discomfort.

If she is used to a life of killing, then the magic that suddenly appeared in the past two years has completely disrupted the rhythm of her life. It is like a person from one world mistakenly entered another world, and the power of the blade that she is proud of has changed. Small, fear increases.

A person with an overly tough appearance is actually very soft and weak on the inside, and is afraid to accept new things because she is used to dominating in the field she is good at.

Standing in front of the other party made Lisu Mama feel uneasy.

"Good night." Li Qi nodded and said, "It seems you already know me."

The other party is very polite, which is normal. As long as the other party is not deaf or blind, he will know what happened in Mama City. No scholar has ever taken the initiative to anger a lord. They all stayed within the allowed range and "slightly" "Arrogant" means that it is precisely because of wisdom that one will avoid acting foolishly.

Tonks nodded. Her cheekbones were high and her skin was pulled away from her cheekbones when she smiled. "Are you curious about magic?"

"Yes," Li Qi pointed at the puppet on the table and asked, "Is this some kind of alchemy tool? There is also a scholar in my territory, but he failed to develop such a thing."

"It's just a toy that uses activation magic," Tonks said proactively: "It makes things temporarily come to life, so that the wooden dog can look after the house, the iron rooster can crow, and the paper bird can fly."

"Very interesting" Li Qi commented very seriously.

Then he revealed the true purpose of his trip, his curiosity about magic, and his exploration of magic.

This is a very general topic, but as a scholar of magic research, Tonks has a strong interest in this aspect and can chat for a long time.

"Arcana, or magic, or miracles, witchcraft, has been silent until the tide of magic emerges. At that time, I could only use magic to light the fireplace, and then use magic to peel potatoes..." She suddenly said Dayton: "Potato is a kind of..."

"I know Potato." Li Qi interrupted Tonks' sudden explanation: "You can talk about after the magic tide emerges."

He is about to be called the Potato Baron. How could he not know what a potato is? In his territory, potatoes occupy an important position in filling the stomach all year round.

Tonks was a little surprised. In her opinion, Li Qi should be a noble with good living conditions and should not be exposed to the food of untouchables.

Because potatoes have a single taste, and if you eat too much, you will get heartburn and acid reflux in your stomach. If you are not very poor, you will never regard them as food, even if they are very easy to grow.

Every time magic is mentioned, someone will always talk about the blood moon that Li Qi has never seen, and the surge of magic.

"Since that day, I can feel the changes in the world," she said: "The magic that could not be released before can be easily released, and my understanding of magic is also strengthening. This is the best time, magic is resurrected!"

But it could also be the worst time, Li Qi thought to himself.

Because the strong are getting stronger, the weak are getting weaker. In the past, shouting "Princes, generals, would rather have their own kind" could still lead to uprising. But since then, high-end power will be concentrated in the hands of the nobles, and the weak no longer have the qualifications to resist.

Fortunately, he is a member of the nobility.

During the chat, Li Qi discovered that he did not know enough about magic. He did not know many basic knowledge. He often used magic according to the script. Of course, he did not learn any magic, but only had a rough understanding of magic. , which is enough for him to be happy.

He did not hide his thoughts and actively invited Tonks to his territory.

"Maybe you can stay in the desert, but when you want to change places, the East Gorge can also provide you with a place to stay, and there are many scholars in the Porcupine Territory."

Tonks shook her head and rejected Li Qi's proposal: "I will stay in the desert for a while. If you need my help in any way, please feel free to ask, but forget it about meeting other scholars. We have different ideas."

To put it simply, it is easy to quarrel when staying with other scholars.

"That's a pity." Li Qi shook his head.

At least the other party didn't refuse to help him or even work for him.

Different from Li Qi's enthusiastic chat, Lisu Mama listened in a daze and tried not to yawn several times. When she heard that Li Qi decided to leave, she quickly stood up and made up her mind. The idea is to never follow Li Qi here again.

Leaving Scholar Tonks' residence, Li Qi said: "I plan to take a walk on the city wall. You can go back and rest."

"Yes" Lisu didn't refuse, she was really tired.

The defensive battles in recent days have made it difficult for her to get a good rest. Maybe she can get a good sleep tonight.

Come to the city wall and look down.

The mercenaries camped next to the city gate to rest. Because Viscount Matthew was ready for a protracted war, the food and accommodation of more than 3,000 people was not a problem for the time being.

It was late at night, but the mercenaries did not fall asleep. They were chatting noisily, and shouting could be heard from time to time.

After Li Qi took a few more glances, he turned back to the room. The room had been cleaned up, but what surprised him was that all the maids arranged by the Mama family were gone and became male servants.

Instructing them not to wait for him to take off his clothes, Li Qi closed the door, took off his clothes and lay on the bed.

Time passed, and suddenly a dozen vultures flew out of the dungeon, flapping their wings and flying into the distance.

Rocket, who was resting in his nest, raised his head, then lowered his head and closed his eyes.
