'Cackle, cluck, cluck', when Lin Qi and his party entered the door, several bald-necked turkeys with no hair on their necks happily ran past their feet. A two-headed black pig with a black head and buttocks and a white body staggered
He walked along the wall for a few steps, and then lay down happily.
A dozen little piglets just stumbled forward, lying on the belly of the big spotted pig, fighting for milk. The big spotted pig didn't have enough teats, and some of the little piglets couldn't get food, so they became angry.
He opened his mouth and bit down hard on the little tails of his brothers and sisters.
The little piglets were in pain, and they opened their mouths and bit them indiscriminately. The big piglet was bitten and screamed miserably, and jumped up with its fat body shaking. The group of little piglets suddenly dispersed.
He let out a sharp scream and fled in all directions.
Qiu Li's face became more and more ugly. He bowed respectfully to Lin Qi and said, "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Lin Qi, you live in a simple country, and you really neglect your distinguished guest!" Qiu Li's heart was bleeding, he
Prepare to take care of those servants who only eat and do nothing. Didn't he ask them to lock these animals into the shed and prevent them from wandering out?
Lin Qi waved his hand disapprovingly, looked at these lively animals with interest and laughed: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I can't see such liveliness and interest in normal times. Very good, very good!"
It's just a few turkeys and a group of pigs. If you hang out with an abyss demon bear, four centaurs and a large group of demon beasts for six years, you won't find it unbearable at all. At least the air here is better than
Lin Qi's residence in the Black Abyss Divine Prison was much fresher, and there was no smell of the Abyss Demonic Bear's unique fishy smell from the handsome old lady Xiong.
Viscount Qiuri's face looked much better. He bowed to Lin Qi and led the way, leading Lin Qi and others to the main house of the mansion.
This is a three-story building made of granite mixed with brick and wood. It is obvious that the original builder wanted to use granite entirely to build this building, but just after the building was halfway built, it was replaced with a brick and wood structure. It is obvious that it is
Financial resources are running low. However, this building is still very neatly built, and there is nothing damaged in the overall structure, giving people an unusually stable feeling.
A young woman wearing a white dress, who looked quite stylish, stood in front of the main entrance. When she saw Lin Qi walking over accompanied by Viscount Qiu Li, she bowed lightly to Lin Qi and others. This was Qiu
The wife of Viscount Qiuri, the Viscountess is the lord of a small town more than ten miles away, the only daughter of an old knight. In other words, after the death of the Viscountess's father, Viscount Qiuri will inherit the territory of that small town.
Thereby successfully expanding one's territory of influence.
Although she was only born into a low-level aristocratic family, the Viscountess received a very good education since childhood. Judging from her behavior and demeanor, she even received a better education than Viscount Chury. Therefore, her performance was more generous and decent than Viscount Chury.
, every word and action made people feel like the spring breeze blowing on the face without feeling abrupt. Lin Qi happily followed the etiquette of the aristocracy, gently held the Viscountess's little hand, and gave her a gentle kiss on the back of the hand.
"Perhaps we will have to bother you for a few more days, Madam." Lin Qi glared at Alda fiercely, indicating that he was not allowed to cause trouble for him here - Viscountess Chuli was not his target. If he
If Lin Qi dared to do something weird to the Viscountess, Lin Qi would kill him without hesitation, and then suggested that his father should give birth to more obedient sons as soon as possible.
Alda smiled reservedly. He understood the stern warning in Lin Qi's eyes, so he stood aside obediently. Except for occasionally glancing at Alita, he really didn't look away.
After the warm welcome ceremony, Lin Qi enjoyed a not luxurious, but extremely sumptuous dinner at the residence of Viscount Chiuri. There were no expensive and rare dishes here, but the roasted whole lamb and roasted turkey were very authentic.
The cooking was very authentic, and the little suckling pig was also very popular. Paired with fresh river fish, a few freshly hunted birds, and a lot of delicious vegetables, this dinner was really impeccable.
Not to mention the enthusiastic Viscount and Mrs. Chiuri, as well as two barrels of fine wine that had been in the cellar when the mansion was built.
This is a good wine left behind by the great-grandfather of Viscount Chiuri. It was also a military reward given by Grand Duke Lanyue to Viscount Chiuri’s great-grandfather, the first generation owner of this viscounty, a hundred years ago. The wine is the finest brandy produced in the Gallic Empire.
The wine, coupled with hundreds of years of cellaring, has become an intoxicating and exquisite wine.
After the dinner where the guests and guests enjoyed themselves, Viscount Qiuri invited Lin Qi to his study.
Although it is only a small viscount's residence, it is small and well-equipped, and all the supporting facilities in the viscount's residence are still available. Viscount Qiuri's study is filled with books of all kinds, although it can be seen from the dust on these thick books
Very few people read them, but this also means that Viscount Quri, a small aristocratic family, still has some background.
Apart from the rarely read books on the bookshelf, there was a huge sand table in the middle of the study room, which aroused Lin Qi's interest. He strode to the sand table, which was about five meters long and wide, and looked enthusiastically for the Viscount on it.
collar position.
Seeing Lin Qi's interest in the sand table, Viscount Qiuri also walked up and proudly introduced the origin of the sand table.
"This is a military sandbox given to me by the Grand Duke after my great-grandfather achieved military exploits. My great-grandfather was just an ordinary civilian, but he joined the Grand Duke's army, opened up territory for the principality, and was defeated twice in three border wars.
He defeated the army of the Silver Valley Kingdom, so he was canonized as a hereditary viscount by the Grand Duke and obtained this territory."
Lin Qi nodded vigorously, and at the same time, he verified the geographical knowledge one by one on the sand table according to the geographical knowledge taught by the old man in the Black Abyss Prison.
The Yun clan has surveyed almost all the famous mountains and rivers in the Western Continent. Naturally, they will not let go of this canyon passage that connects the two empires. Fourteen large and small forces, including Lanyue Principality and Yingu Kingdom, are in
It was also mentioned in the lectures given by young and old people.
But the Viscounty of Qiuli, a tiny force among small forces, the young man was too lazy to explain. Now after checking the sand table, Lin Qicai was pleasantly surprised to find that the Lanyue Principality was originally located in the middle of the valley, and
The Viscounty of Qiuli is located in the southernmost part of Lanyue Principality.
Starting from the Viscounty of Chiuri, one day's journey north is the capital of the Lanyue Principality; five days' journey west is the Gallic Empire, and six days' journey east is the Caesar Empire. If you're heading south, you'll cross the Abyssinian Mountains.
To the southwest is the Holy Mountain, the headquarters of the church. To the south and southeast, you can directly enter the territory of the Vyas Commercial Federation.
What is a traffic artery? This is a traffic artery.
Lin Qi's finger was on a high hill near Qiuli Viscounty. This high hill is hundreds of meters high. If a regular battle fort is built on it and an elite heavy cavalry is stationed, it will be able to command a commanding height.
Overlooking the entire Lanyue Principality, cutting off the traffic in the entire canyon passage.
In the south of Qiuli Viscounty, among the thousands of miles of lofty mountains, if Lin Qi remembered correctly, there is a small exit of the Fifth Abyss World in these mountains. To hell with the gods, this is too much.
A good nailing spot.
If we can develop our own power here, the appendix of the continent, it can really become the appendix of the entire continent - it doesn't matter if it doesn't move, but once it becomes inflamed, it will cause heartache to the entire continent.
Let’s look at how many places the Viscounty of Chuli can influence. In addition to the two major empires, the church headquarters and the Vias Commercial Federation, there are several empires, kingdoms, and principalities in the south of the two empires within the radius of this small Viscounty.
.In other words, this point can almost determine more than half of the exchanges and transportation between the east and west parts of the Western Continent.
Looking up at Viscount Qiuri, who was standing by the sand table and talking about the glorious past of his great-grandfather, Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh - a man begging with a golden rice bowl, with an income of only one thousand gold coins a year? This Viscount lives better than
A small businessman in the Gallic Empire was even more miserable.
Lin Qi coughed lightly and raised his fingers towards Bilibili.
Bilibili ran over diligently, took out two fine cigars from his space ring, handed one to Lin Qi, and the other to Viscount Qiuri. When Viscount Qiuri saw the cigars,
When he saw the platinum sleeve on the outside of the cigar and the Chamber of Commerce emblem with a crown on the cigar, Viscount Chiuri's face turned black!
He had seen this kind of cigar once, when he went to deliver a New Year's gift to the earl's house who ruled this area. He had seen this kind of cigar once in the hands of the proud earl. Only this time, he had never seen the second one.
Time - that was because the earl did some personal matter for the Grand Duke Lanyue, and was appreciated by the Grand Duke, so he took out ten cigars from a gift given to the Grand Duke by a large chamber of commerce and rewarded the Count.
'Earth Mother', this kind of cigar is called Earth Mother. It is a top-quality cigar produced in the Goblin Continent. The market price is three thousand gold coins each. The price of each cigar is the three-year pure income of Viscount Chuli's entire viscountdom.
income.
Viscount Qiuri's hands were trembling. He didn't even know what the Earth Mother tasted like. Anyway, after the first puff of smoke was sucked into his mouth, he was completely intoxicated - he was thinking about his puff of smoke.
How many gold coins is it worth!
Seeing the sometimes pale and sometimes red face of Viscount Qiuri, Lin Qi flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said lightly: "Then, I have a proposal. Become my vassal family, Viscount Qiuri. I will
I will use the power of my family to support you, and in the future I may let you replace Grand Duke Lanyue, and I may even let you get more, are you willing?"
Viscount Qiuli raised his head suddenly, looked at Lin Qi in horror, and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Qi repeated his question again, and Viscount Qiuri's face turned deathly white.
As Lin Qi repeated his question for the third time, Viscount Qiuri suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Qi.
"Then, Your Excellency Lin Qi, from now on I will be your most loyal follower."
