Lord of Rot

The wooden man was covered with scales.

As the first batch of modular equipment made by hydraulic forging hammers in the Porcupine Territory, it has many advantages such as high cost performance and replaceability.

Before the emergence of muskets, Li Qi's army relied on its scale armor to gain an absolute advantage in every battle.

Until the emergence of muskets, the research on armor also slowed down.

Muskets will definitely end the age of armor, and for extraordinary people, the protective power of armor is almost the same as not having it at all.

So Li Qi asked people to study the rune armor, but unfortunately there was no character.

They can only increase the weight of the armor, add chicken feathers, and forcefully insert themselves into the war as a hussar, barely avoiding being eliminated.

Carrot, who had already grown a long beard, grabbed a sharp long sword and raised the sword to observe. The blade of the sword could clearly reflect his entire face, which was clearer than a mirror.

"drink!"

The carrot was chopped down with a sword, and a long gash was easily cut through the scales.

"hiss--!"

The people watching around couldn't help but take a breath.

Although scale armor is not as defensive as plate armor, it is not made of paper either. It can be cut open with a large opening so easily.

"It's okay." Li Qi nodded calmly.

Hong Qiangwei, who had already cheered up because of her determination, once again returned to her original aura of the first noble lady in the East Gorge, and was no longer submissive when facing Li Qi.

"Li Qi!"

"what happened?"

"I remember when I first met you, you weren't so... swollen!"

She learned the word expansion from Li Qi. She used to think that it was accurate to apply expansion to food, but now she feels that Li Qi expands more than bread.

That's a magic weapon that can easily cut off scales, and it's a magic weapon that can be mass-produced. How dare you just base your evaluation on it?

"I admit that this is a precious sword." Li Qi took the long sword from the Carrot Book and gently rubbed the blade with his fingers, feeling its sharpness: "However, it is too expensive."

Hong Qiangwei was puzzled: "Magical weapons are inherently expensive."

She felt normal.

"The cost of this sword is equivalent to two war horses," Li Qi said. "A warrior holding it will still have to fight with the enemy. The degree of danger is greatly increased. If he can defeat the enemy, he will definitely be injured."

"If we use firearms, we can accurately hit the enemy dozens of steps away!" Li Qi picked up a gun and fired at the wooden man covered in scales.

After the gunshot, a hole opened in the scales.

"Look!" Li Qi put down his gun and pointed into the distance: "Destroy the enemy dozens of steps away, and only requires one bullet. There is almost no danger and the cost is not high."

Red Rose was thoughtful.

"However, there is a need for the existence of this kind of magic weapon," Li Qi said: "It can be used by extraordinary soldiers, and we must continue to study it. The sharper and stronger the better!"

Li Qi looked at Zhui Na who was standing aside.

This sword is actually an accessory of silver steel sword research, and it is extremely sharp.

"How's the machine?"

"That's almost it."

"Well, let's go take a look."

Everyone walked towards the depths of the factory and found a huge steel monster crawling in the factory. Everyone who looked at it had a blank look on their face.

What's the use of this thing?

Li Qi was very excited.

"Haha, it was indeed created!"

Although there are various magic runes and magic circles on it, and the shape is different from what Li Qi remembered, he can be sure that the thing is definitely correct.

External combustion engine!

Especially after Zhui Na filled the furnace with charcoal, the smile on Li Qi's face became increasingly difficult to suppress.

"It's done, it's done!"

"Li Qi, what is this?" Red Rose was confused.

The same goes for other people. They don't understand what the steel monster that needs to be burned is, and why it makes Li Qi so excited.

Li Qi just smiled and said: "Welcome to the industrial age!"

The solution to the power problem announced that Li Qi's productivity had officially accelerated and entered the era of high-speed.

This thing is much stronger than irregular water power.

Machines soon appeared that replaced the water-powered forging hammer.

In January of the fifth year that Li Qi traveled through time, the entire Porcupine Territory pressed the accelerator button.

……

Porcupine Collar, Pigtail Bay Pier.

Li Qi and Leonie looked at the sea side by side.

"The sea in Porcupine Territory is different from the sea in Thunder City."

"What's the difference?"

"It's colder here."

"Are you afraid of the cold?"

"No, I'm just a little sorry."

"What regret?"

"I didn't see any snow."

"You want to see snow?" Li Qi mused: "It's simple. I'll take over the northern border. Do you think Stormwind City is suitable to live in?"

Leonie turned to look at Li Qi: "You are suddenly different, no, you have always been like this, but the world can't stop you."

She looked at the white line connecting the sea and the sky: "Can you guarantee that you will be a qualified king?"

"cannot!"

Li Qi shook his head: "No one can predict the future, and I have never been a king, but I can assure you that it will definitely be better than now."

"I don't have the energy to follow you, but I will come if you need me." Leonie's voice suddenly became hollow: "I have learned a lot from you, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Of course!"

Li Qi nodded: "You can learn my ideas, but don't imitate me completely. Giant's Foot is different from Dongxia. Specific things need to be analyzed in detail."

"that's it?"

"Then...a kiss?"

Boom!

The thunder burrowed into the clouds, paused in the air, then turned and flew to the south, disappearing without a trace.

Li Qi touched his lips.

It's electric, it's awesome!

……

As the news spread that Li Qi supported Red Rose as the new Duke, it soon caused an uproar in the East Gorge.

Donggang City, the news came the fastest.

Cavendish family.

"I think it's good for Ivan to be a Duke!"

Miss Golden Daisy Tia Cavendish was holding a pillow and having afternoon tea with the aristocratic ladies.

With the departure of the core character Hong Qiangwei, the social activities that were once called "Lady's Diplomacy" have now been completely reduced to ordinary tea parties. It is difficult for anyone to benefit from afternoon tea, and some people often do not come. .

This tea party was organized by Tiya. She tried hard to contact Red Rose's former friends because she was sure that her friends would come back again.

Others don't know, but she absolutely believes that Li Qi will not leave Hong Qiangwei alone.

Sure enough, he snatched Red Rose away from the royal city and kept her by his side tyrannically. Now he even pushed her out tyrannically and made her the Duke.

A certain aristocratic lady in the tea party especially likes to write novels. She has written a long novel with Red Rose as the heroine and Li Qi as the hero.
