Chapter 5 Red Rose
In the restaurant, the meals were served very quickly.
Steamed with hot and hot fried blood sausage, baked potatoes, wine, fine white bread, and a roasted heron.
The heron was the harvest of a farmer this morning, and now he has become a nutritious meal for Li Qi after he has recovered from his serious illness.
His skills are not very good. After evaluating the chef's food in the kitchen in his heart, Li Qi did not stop. He finished all the food elegantly but quickly... It may not be elegant to eat with his hands, but there is no concept of "tableware" in this world.
He was busy all night, carrying corpses and chanting spells, and so on, all consumed his physical strength. Now that he was full, he felt that his physical strength had recovered slightly.
"Where is Madam and Leo?" he asked.
"They..." The housekeeper was hesitant, but after he touched Li Qi's calm gaze, his body was slightly shocked: "Madam and Lord Leo are going to welcome the guests of Roaring Fort, my Lord."
"Roaring Fort?"
It was the castle of Duke Leopold, the Lord of the East Gorge.
Of course, the guests from Roaring Fort could only be from the Leopolds, and Liqi was his vassal.
Leopold swore allegiance to the king, while the Baron declared allegiance to the Leopold family.
Those guests had come four days ago. At that time, they appointed Li Qi as the Porcupine to be the baron, and the stepmother was able to let the guests return to this remote place again, for one reason... that is, the inheritance of the baron's rank. Although it was very sad that the new baron died, the territory could not have its own master.
And the other party was able to come today, which means she contacted the other party yesterday.
He had a slight smile on his face. He was still having a headache about how to deal with his ruthless stepmother. Although it was good to kill him afterwards, it was not good for his reputation. He didn't want to have an additional title of "Mother Slaughter". In Li Qi's memory, nobles could fight to kill their whole family, but they could not be scolded by others. Fame is more important than nicknames.
As for the other party's knight father, Li Qi was not taken seriously at all. Even if he stretched his neck, the other party would not dare to cut him.
But look, it's much simpler and easier now.
The male servant Hammer temporarily acted as a messenger: "Sir, they are back."
Li Qi stood up, and the servant immediately pulled the chair for him.
"Let's go, as the owner of the Porcupine Collar, how can you not greet the distinguished guests?"
At this moment, the housekeeper and the servant seemed to smell the smell of bloody storm, but Li Qi's condition was surprisingly calm. Is it the tranquility before the storm, or is it the silence before Li Qi's previous personality to choose to calm down? Based on their understanding of the Baron, he should choose the latter.
Liqi walked out of the main entrance of the castle. On the muddy road in the mountains, a gorgeous carriage led by two horses as dazzling as gold was slowly coming, followed by soldiers wearing gorgeous armor.
It was a golden horse, a special breed cultivated by the Leopold family. It claimed to be a noble monster species with pure bloodline. This horse's hair was golden and without any variegated color. When it was strolling in the sun, it seemed like gold rushing towards Li Qi.
It is said that the golden horses eat grass and pull gold. People who were very curious also secretly went to Leopold's house to steal the feces of the golden horses. Then they fainted from the smell. The next day, when the groom was feeding the grass, they found them.
However, as far as Li Qi knows, golden horses cannot breed offspring, and they look like...mule.
It is not surprising that donkeys and horses cross mules, but why the Leopold family can breed golden mules? He is really a little curious. Maybe everything can be attributed to "magic". Magic is not popular in this world, but there are always some.
The anecdotes that Baron Liqi knows are all told by Liqi's teacher James Duke. The wolf killer who travels around the world has a wide range of knowledge, otherwise he would not be Liqi's teacher by relying solely on swordsmanship.
"He used to be a very funny and humorous teacher," Li Qi said in his heart.
Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice.
The carriage had stopped, the car door opened, and a cute girl came out from inside. The girl exclaimed after seeing Li Qi:
"Look, Miss, it's the Baron!"
The girl who was supported by her hands had long curly hair like a "red sun" and her nose was as sharp as an elf, which made people subconsciously focus on her delicate nose. She said, "Don't be surprised, Xiaona, if my father saw it, he would scold you."
She got out of the car with her skirt, and after seeing Liqi, she covered her mouth in surprise: "Baron Clarence, it's great to see that you have no truth. Mrs. Elthop said you were seriously injured and might..." She stopped hesitating for a moment, and then showed a charming smile. The pair of dimples on the corner of her mouth made the smile sweeter: "Blessed by the Four Gods, you are safe."
"Red Rose" Evangelin Leopold came here with his brother four days ago to confer Li Qi as the Baron.
There are also many rumors about her that can show charm to anyone, but if you think you can pick this beautiful red rose, you must be careful of the spikes of the rose to avoid being stabbed.
"I'm very happy to see you again, Miss Leopold," said Liqi.
"You can call me Evangelin. I thought that the meeting a few days ago had made us friends." The red-haired girl had a little dissatisfaction in her tone, but there was always a smile on her face: "I often hear my father talk about the story of your father, Baron Porcupine. He is a brave knight. They fought side by side and were intimate. My father always said that he was like a porcupine. Any enemy who dared to provoke him would be pricked with blood."
"There are thorns all over," replied Liqi: "The Clarence family's motto, you can call me Liqi."
"Okay, Sir Liqi" she smiled. If the smile could bring the distance between the two, then Evangelin's smile could instantly make Liqila want to face her.
He sighed, "Thank you to the Four Gods for allowing me to survive and allow me to see your beautiful smile again."
"You're even more..." Evangelin paused.
"It's even more honest," Li Qi immediately added.
She swallowed the words "smooth" that reached her mouth and replied, "I'm such an honest gentleman."
The carriage was shaking, and the middle-aged woman in a long skirt got off the car, followed by a boy with a somewhat similar appearance to Li Qi.
She had just heard the conversation outside the carriage. After seeing Li Qi with her own eyes, her expression changed several times. Finally, she covered her face and howled twice. In Li Qi, she sounded like a porcupine on the family emblem.
"It's great that you can wake up. My brave and pitiful lord! I prayed to the four gods all night and begged God to bring you back. I am willing to pay any price for this, woosh..."
Li Qi replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, madam, I'm fine now."
The young Leo also bent down at Li Qi: "Brother, it's great that you can be safe and sound."
Liqi replied, "It was the four gods who brought me back, and I guess they must have heard Mrs. Elthop's sincere prayer."
The stepmother who was howling salivating gave her a meal.
The red-haired noble girl smiled at Li Qi, and she heard the sarcasm in Li Qi's words just now.
"It's rude to keep the guests standing outside the door," Li Qi turned around and said, "Please, Miss Evan Jielin inside."
