Lord of Rot

Chapter 184 Gradually Encroaching

Longship Castle at night, guarded by elite monkey soldiers, the castle is like a cage that blocks freedom.

Guy took the wine and found Nils wandering on the city wall.

"Long time no see." Guy shook the wine bottle in his hand: "Would you like to try some wine from Porcupine Collar?"

"Porcupine collar?"

The nobles of Mountain Palm Castle are no strangers to the Porcupine Collar. If Baron Porcupine hadn't shown his prowess, the situation in Longship Castle would have been even worse.

Fortunately, the Porcupine Baron seemed to be really angered by the stupid fake bastard. He only killed the opponent and left in a hurry. He did not think about taking control of Longship Castle and let Mountain Palm Castle slip through.

"Yes, a rare wine" Guy nodded.

Nils licked his lips. He had just finished traveling for a day, and he was indeed thirsty.

The wine played into his taste.

The entire Longship Castle is under his control, and there is absolutely no chance of anything happening.

Besides, what's the point of being drunk? He and Guy had known each other for many years, and apart from being disgusted by his devilish charm, their relationship was relatively friendly.

"Take good care," Niels said to his men: "I was drinking with Guy, so I shouldn't come over tonight."

"Yes!" the subordinate replied.

Nils followed Guy through the castle. The maids passing by looked at Guy with longing, and that look made Nils feel sick.

No one likes a guy who can charm people's hearts. Controlling people's hearts is reminiscent of monsters from the abyss.

But this is Guy's role. If it weren't for him, it would definitely take a lot of effort to lay down Longship Castle, and it would attract the attention of the Leopold family, and the benefits would be far less than what can be obtained quietly like now.

When we arrived at the dining restaurant at Longboat Castle, food had been prepared on the table in advance.

There was also a maid holding a wine flask and watching quietly.

"You have a good life," Nils said as he sat down.

Guy shrugged and didn't answer.

Nils looked at Guy sitting on the main seat and narrowed his eyes: "Where is the Baroness? Won't we eat together?"

The position speaks volumes. Being able to sit directly on the main seat means that Guy has greater power than he imagined, and even completely controls Longboat Castle!

"She wants to rip your face off right now."

"Haha, that's my honor." Nils was quite proud.

Who cares about a fat-bellied woman with no power or soldiers? Baroness, ho!

The maid came and poured a glass of wine for Nils, then took a hip flask and poured a glass for Guy as well.

Nils lowered his head and sniffed: "What kind of wine is this?"

"Strong liquor" Guy picked up the cup and took a sip: "Stronger than beer, I guess you can pour it down after just one glass."

"I've never had any wine in the world! The wine that can make me drunk hasn't appeared yet!"

Seeing that Guy had drank, Niels no longer had any doubts. He was already greedy due to the aroma of the wine, so he picked up the glass and took a sip.

"Tsk!"

Put down the cup.

Nils felt that the wine was a bit heady. It was completely different from the wine he had drunk before: "It's great!"

“I never thought that Porcupine Collar could produce such fine wine.”

I just finished saying this.

"Boom!"

Nils fell to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and was dead.

Guy calmly drank the last sip of wine: "Let's go, Aina."

The maid holding a wine flask beside her nodded, it was none other than the extraordinary corpse Aina.

They planned to kill Niels silently, adding a large dose of poisonous blood, and a glass of wine was enough to kill a lion.

She led the way, and after Guy wiped the blood off the corpse's face, he helped the corpse and left the restaurant.

There were no monkey soldiers from Shanzhang Fort along the way, and no one would believe that the most reliable "one of their own" in Longship Fort, which had been completely controlled, would attack Nils directly.

Even the dead Niels didn't expect that the wine was poisonous, but he saw Guy take a sip first.

Guy, who is no longer a human being, will not have any reaction no matter how much poison he drinks. He is already a corpse, how can he die?

Nils' body was sent to the dungeon that had been prepared long ago. There was a carved magic circle and a coffin prepared in advance.

There are 10 coffins in total, which are guaranteed to be able to refine 10 corpses at the same time.

Keeping the body intact saves some gold.

A small piece of gold was placed on the corpse's chest.

Then put on the strange clay dolls.

Everything is ready, close the coffin lid and wait for the coffin to be released.

After a long time, the coffin lid moved.

Li Qi integrated his memory into it immediately.

Niels's life was quickly skipped by Li Qi. Since his spiritual power became stronger and stronger, Li Qi obtained more and more memories from dead bodies. He suspected that in the future he might obtain a person from birth to death. A memory of every day and every night.

"No wonder I sent a knight here to supervise Guy, but old monkey, you lost your son and lost your army this time."

The Monkey Family thought they had complete control over Longship Castle, but they didn't know that all this had become the nourishment that made Reach strong.

Then Li Qi also understood why the Monkey family, which has always been known as the "wise man who hides well", chose to send troops to take over Longship Castle forcibly, unwilling to waste any more time.

Because the old Monkey Baron of the Bill family is about to die. Before his death, he was still eager to get a richer family fortune for his unsatisfied son and lay a solid foundation for the prosperous future of the Monkey family.

Death is one of the reasons that prompts the monkey family to suddenly act in a flamboyant manner.

There is another reason.

In the territory called Iron Valley next to the monkey territory, a "black king" recently broke out.

Li Qi knew that Iron Valley was close to the Monkey Territory on one side, with steep mountains covered with thorns to the north, the Burning City of Giant's Foot to the south, and the sea to the east.

It seems to be on a traffic thoroughfare, but due to the mountainous terrain, Monkey Territory and Burning City will choose to take a detour instead of climbing over the mountains.

The environment in Iron Valley is very poor, the terrain is undulating, and the land is not suitable for growing food.

The people of Tiegu make a living by cutting down wood and burning charcoal for sale. They live a very hard life.

To put it in layman's terms, Iron Valley is a remote place in the mountains, a poor place that no one would want to rob during a war.

But the "Black King" seemed to have gone crazy. Not only did he proclaim himself king, he also wanted to overthrow the rule of Bol II.

The Monkey family adheres to the code of conduct of not showing up when fighting and only causing trouble behind the scenes. After smelling the smell of war, the first thing they think about must be profit.

Since there is going to be a war, Dongxia's attention will definitely be attracted by the "Black King", so even if the Monkey Family uses a slightly tougher approach to control the Longship Castle, no one will probably notice.

By the time they noticed, the monkey family was full.

What a good move to fish in troubled waters.

The situation is better than the monkey family thought, because they completed the control quietly and the news will not be leaked in a short time.

Well, it will never be leaked.

The big wars have stopped, but the small wars will never go away.

After reading the memory, Li Qi began to check his harvest.

The first is fighting skills. As an arena champion, Nils has all-round skills, especially the ability to fight on horseback. These experiences have allowed Li Qi to upgrade his skills to another level. Now he has the confidence to call himself an almighty knight among the nobles.

Drawing a bow and archery, which I didn't understand the most before, have now been mastered to a fairly accurate degree.

However, there is a high probability that he will not choose to draw a bow and shoot arrows. After all, muskets have been made, and that thing is more useful.

Then there are some personnel allocations for the 200 people who arrived at Longship Castle this time.

Nils has a total of four subordinates, each in charge of his soldiers.

They will be Li Qi's next targets.

After everything was settled, Li Qi tried to use the magical ability fused into the dead body.

The stone flew up quickly and merged with the body of the corpse Nils, turning him into a stone man two and a half meters tall.

"Not bad!"

Li Qi was very satisfied. Nils was not extraordinary, but after his body turned into stone, his strength and durability should not be weaker than those of ordinary extraordinary people.

Another problem is that Nils, who has become a ghoul, cannot speak.

The dead body did not allow him to make a sound.

"There must be some magic that makes dead bodies talk."

There are currently two ways to get magic. One is to buy it on the black market and depend on luck.

The second is to have Guy search for similar magic through the Round Table.

"The round table will meet every once in a while, you can ask then."

He let go of his control over the corpse Nils, who was also very intelligent. In particular, he completely accepted all of Niels Baugh's lifetime memories and was able to perfectly portray his lifetime image.

Next, Nils' four men.

When the four faced Guy and Nils, they followed them away without any suspicion.

They didn't expect that the knight in their house had changed to someone else just one night ago.

Three corpses faced four ordinary warriors, and the battle ended successfully in an instant.

There were not so many extraordinary potions and rare items, and Li Qi did not intend to waste resources on ordinary people, so they were just refined into ordinary corpses.

Under circumstances that no one expected, the soldiers sent by Shanzhang Fort were called away one by one, and when they came back they were turned into dead bodies.

Slowly, there were fewer and fewer soldiers responsible for defense in Longship Castle.
