Lord of Rot

Chapter 350 Do you understand that harmony brings wealth? (page 12)

Crazy sand swept across Charming Eyes.

When the wind and sand stopped, I suddenly looked up and saw a high earth-yellow wall in front of me.

There was an endless stream of packhorse caravans coming and going, stopping at the gate of the city and being interrogated before they could enter.

“Sir, that’s Bangta Bazaar.”

The speaker was one of the two wandering knights, named Okai.

He is relatively methodical in doing things, but he is inevitably impulsive. However, he can understand his current situation and has no dissatisfaction with being a prisoner.

At least they were saved from the tragic fate of becoming slaves in the arena and having to fight after being bought.

As for the other wandering knight named Hoover, there is only passion and impulse left.

Fortunately, everyone can see themselves clearly, or in other words, they can see Li Qi's team clearly.

Li Qi didn't know what kind of organization this "Princess Sophia's Old Department" was, but he had no intention of exploring it. The two of them just had to do their jobs well.

After all, they are just a bunch of homeless dogs. Serious lords and knights have killed them themselves, let alone a bunch of stray dogs that no one wants.

"So strict?" Li Qi looked at the leather armored soldiers on the city wall holding powerful crossbows.

As a little-known small town, Bangta Market is much more prosperous than the small towns in Shuijiandi.

Wandering knight Okai said: "Because there are many robbers in the desert."

"Really?" Li Qi glanced at the two of them and thought to himself, maybe it's because there are a lot of wandering knights.

He didn't believe that the two wandering knights really had an argument with the slave owner because they wanted to save the slaves. It was normal for them to shout something different than what they thought in their hearts. Li Qi never said that he wanted to be the king, but in fact he I have been unhappy with the Golden Stallion, the heir to my title, for a long time. I am waiting for the day when my army is strong and my horse is strong. I will chop up a white snake and follow the fate.

When we arrived at the gate of Bangta Market, soldiers blocked the way.

The opponent's attitude became very friendly when he saw the team behind Li Qi, but he had to pay a poll tax when entering the city.

You have to pay taxes when doing transactions inside, this is also taxed and that is taxed. Li Qi's head felt swollen after hearing this. He waved his hand and asked two local wandering knights and merchants to go over and solve the problem. Isn't it just money?

Baron Li Qi is so desperate that he will rob you directly!

After gaining some military strength, Baron Li Qi became more impatient in everything he did.

After some effort, I was finally allowed to enter the town.

Through the town gate,

There is a running water flowing along the simple canal dug, which is the small tributary that flows to the Bonta Canyon Station.

There is no vegetation in the town, it is bare, and the dust is not much better than outside.

Li Qi suddenly remembered what Kull Oasis had said, that he wanted to get a treasure that could create an oasis, and felt that this person had some foresight.

Transforming the environment, managing the ecology, and then developing sustainably, this vision is not something ordinary people can have. Even if Li Qiming knows this, he is still destructively exploiting nature at this stage.

There is no way, primitive accumulation cannot be stopped, and we can talk about protecting the environment when we are rich, wealthy, and full.

If a small oasis can really be developed here, business will definitely improve a lot.

At noon, people were selling things under arbors in the town, but not many pedestrians were seen.

They stopped at a hotel.

Li Qi vaguely seemed to see the small desert building where the Sunset Warrior and the Unknown Heroine were confronting each other. Coincidentally, a gust of wind and sand blew by, and the singing of "Sea of ​​Bitterness~" seemed to ring in his ears.

It's a pity that I didn't see a dog carrying a stick.

"Sir, here we are."

The reminder brought Li Qi back to consciousness.

"After all, I am the only one who understands this joke."

He had some regrets.

No matter how far the territory is expanded, I still feel lonely. It is not a sleepless pillow that cannot hold a beautiful woman in my arms, but a loneliness in culture and thought.

"It's better for people to be busy, otherwise their minds will be full of random thoughts all day long."

He shook his head, got off his horse, and walked into the hotel.

As soon as I entered the door, my vision suddenly darkened. The walls of the entire hotel were extremely thick, the windows were narrow and small, and torches and candles were needed for lighting.

However, this construction method also has advantages. As soon as he walked into the hotel, Li Qi felt very cool.

After renting a room, Li Qi ordered his men to leave and complete their work.

The businessman went to find sales, the two mercenaries went to inquire about the news about Cool Oasis, and the two wandering knights were also assigned new jobs by Li Qi to find out if there were any talents.

When Baron Li Qi is away from home, he thinks about everything, especially talents.

Even if you can't use it for your own use, it would be great to make a corpse to absorb life experience, or create two ghouls.

As for Li Qi himself... he wanted to take a bath, change into comfortable clothes, and then sleep comfortably.

……

Fourth-hand Trevor and Scorpion Allen left the hotel.

The two came to the tavern smelling the smell.

Not many people were seen outside, but the tavern was noisy.

A large group of people were covered in stinky sweat, and their foreheads were buzzing with the smell.

Although Trevor's four arms looked weird and scary, when a silver moon hit the table, he still received a large glass of beer and a big smile from the tavern owner.

Money is beauty!

The richer you are, the more beautiful you are!

"what!"

After taking a swig, Trevor let out a long breath of relief: "It feels so good!"

It was as if he had vomited out all his depression from being a prisoner for several months.

The poisonous scorpion is similar. The mercenaries are all good at this. There is no tomorrow but today. After this scene, they went back to the women's branch to hang out. They should enjoy it at all.

"Boss, I want to ask you some news."

The tavern owner glanced at the two of them and shouted loudly: "Red grapes!"

"coming!"

A girl trotted over. Although she looked ordinary, she leaned into Trevor's arms.

hiss……

Trevor didn't expect that he would be so good at setting up a tent just a few days after arriving in the desert.

But after all, he is still an old man, and he knows that vegetarian dishes and meat dishes are expensive, but he doesn’t want to spend ten times the price to get addicted to it. Later, when the two brothers change places, they can use whatever postures they want, and they can enjoy all the martial arts in the world. Applying it is much more enjoyable than kneading it.

It’s not walnuts, so what’s the point of cooking them for a long time.

"We brothers are new here, so we are not very familiar with Bangta Market."

The red grape raised his hand and grabbed one of Trevor's hands and pressed it on himself. The meaning couldn't be simpler.

Want to know? Need to pay more.

It's clear that the food is vegetarian and meat-free.

"Alas" Trevor sighed. It seemed that he really couldn't afford to go to the next place.

……

After dinner, Li Qi wiped his hands and listened quietly to the report.

A small pot of grapes was placed on the table. He picked one up and put it into his mouth, but he was distracted. He was thinking about growing grapes to make wine or liquor, which one was more profitable.

It seems that a two-pronged approach is not impossible.
