Chapter 445: Use a honey trap on him!
Li Qi gave up the idea of asking the Three Fork River Fort, because based on the content of the letter, it was guessed that the person they wanted to deal with was Prince Hoffman. He now had a friendly relationship with Giant Foot, and was involved in talent recruitment, resource exchange, etc. Not stopped.
Recently, the grain he bought at a low price from the Forehead was sold at a higher price, making another small profit.
Not to mention that in the almost "closed-door" Giant's Foot realm, Li Qi is currently one of the few lords allowed to go deep to the south of Burning City, which gives him enough convenience.
Likewise, he had no intention of telling Prince Hoffman about this, because his business dealings with Fort Three Forks were also continuing.
Of course, it's also because no one asked. If they asked themselves, Li Qi would definitely tell them.
He is very sincere to his friends.
In the early morning of November, the air did not get much cooler.
The dense fog in the mountains was blown away by the sunshine, leaving behind dew drops hanging on the dense leaves.
Although the letter from Tia Cavendish said that the weather had turned cooler, Li Qi had no clear feeling. The noble's robes were only afraid of heat, not cold.
Li Qi was still deeply impressed by the blond lady who was completely obsessed with him at the Red Rose Ball, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually write to him. He was happy to be narcissistic, but when he opened the letter and saw After taking a look, he realized that the other party was reminding him that December 12th was his birthday.
"Why do people celebrate birthdays? I don't really like birthdays."
He complained, and Lily, who was standing aside with a quill, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up under the long hair that covered her face.
Only a few people like her know what the lord is like in normal times. He is not majestic, nor is he as ferocious as the outside world says. Except for the occasional unintelligible words popping out of his mouth, he is a very gentle person, even a little bit. cute.
She only dared to hide the last adjective in her heart. She knew that with her identity and appearance, she could not have anything happen to the lord, but she was willing to just like this, quietly feel his tenderness, watch his cute scene, and treasure it in her heart. Heart.
That was her motivation for working hard every day. Even though she was tired and had back pain every day, she was happy with it.
Li Qi continued: "Lily, remember to arrange for someone to send me a silk dress to Miss Tia Cavendish in Eastport City. I remember that she seems to like golden daisies very much. It must be specially ordered and then put there. on our hand-painted gold foil card.”
In order to develop aristocratic ladies and young ladies as his own stars, he conducted in-depth research on Hong Qiangwei's sisters. However, Hong Qiangwei's traffic alone was enough for him, so he didn't pay much attention to other people. This time It's also a good opportunity to use Tia Cavendish's birthday to promote herself again.
"By the way, pick one or two good-looking pieces from Scholar Thomas's pile of alchemical waste and send them over too."
In order to study alchemy and magic, Thomas scholars spent a lot of money to make many useless things, which are just used to give gifts. Giving birthday gifts is not just to pursue something that looks expensive, and indeed the price is also very expensive, but it is not Something to use?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Qi still didn't give up everything to Lily. The birthday reply was more sincere if he wrote it himself.
A letter that was completely nutritious and full of nonsense was quickly written. He expressed his helplessness that he could not arrive because of something urgent, apologized repeatedly, and then handed the letter to Lily. A letter will be sent to him or her along with the gift.
Looking at Lily who was busy, Li Qi temporarily concealed the matter of asking someone to help prepare a potion to treat her face, which could be regarded as a small benefit for his hard-working subordinates.
At noon, Li Qi, who had packed up, set off for Giant's Foot with a cavalry team of 20 people, without any ghouls by his side.
His goal is simple. Go to the Corso Mountains, find the crypt with the "Black Dragon Fragment", activate the red dots and yellow dots, and then come back and build it in Iron Valley. However, considering that there is already a four-headed snake in Iron Valley, of the Falls Crypt, he might get the Crypt and head straight to the desert.
Needless to say, there were boring days spent rushing along the way.
Li Qi did not hide his whereabouts along the way, flying a porcupine flag and entering the giant's feet in a high-profile manner. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it. A team with such a large number of people would be noticed no matter where they went, unless he was a lone ranger.
If you are sneaky, you might be misunderstood by Prince Hoffman. It is better to show your attitude of "I am just joining in the fun" and come over for a walk, which will ensure your safety.
He left the Burning City with his front feet, and a raven flew out a little slower, flying further south.
Due to the recent emergence of the "rift valley" in the Corso Mountains, a large number of explorers have gathered around it, and everyone comes with the idea of making a fortune.
At first, they were worried that the noble master would not let them and others get close, so they only dared to sneak in and search. The benefits they could gain were really limited, and the dangers they endured were extremely high.
Unexpectedly, when the number of people increased, the giant-footed nobles built a village directly on the spot. It not only provided a market, but also had a blacksmith to help repair armor, a tavern, a hotel and a station, and even a place for people to have fun.
In addition to the bloodshed that occurs every day due to the large flow of people, it also brings huge benefits to the local area.
However, the benefits are for the nobles, and the lives of ordinary people have not improved. They even have to worry about being robbed by thieves, being killed, etc., and the probability of dangerous events has greatly increased.
The raven flew ahead of Li Qi's team into a small wooden house in a village next to the Coso Mountains.
It was already dark.
The doors and windows of the wooden house were closed, and only a candle could bring weak light.
Four people sat down around a square table.
They wore cloaks to hide their identities. The person sitting due north opened the letter, read it for a while by candlelight and said, "We don't have much time left."
"Punt disappeared after entering the cave, and there was no news. However, the cave turned into a rift. He should have succeeded half...the other half must have failed, otherwise we wouldn't have made a special trip." He will The letter was clasped on the table: "Ed has contacted several nobles in the East Gorge. They all intend to start a war with Giant Foot. Now they just need us to give them a chance to cause a big mess."
The person on his right said: "We all know that Prince Hoffman is too powerful. He can't even get close to her. He can't even use the monsters in the rift to cause riots. He will be suppressed by her soon."
"..." Everyone was silent.
They have great ambitions, but, but, the gap in strength is too big!
I thought that the Rift Valley would be a trouble, but I didn't expect that it would be easily suppressed by Prince Hoffman, and it would be impossible to cause trouble.
"No, the opportunity has come." The man shook his head. He picked up the letter on the table: "There is a letter from the eyes under the hand. The Porcupine Baron from the East Gorge is coming towards the Corso Mountains. We just need to let the Porcupine If the Baron is injured or dies at the Giant's Foot, it will definitely cause huge chaos!"
"He has a Pegasus, and he himself is a very powerful transcendent. You can't even get close to him."
No one is optimistic about this approach.
"Then let the hero save the beauty!" The man said: "The hero is saddened by the beauty. A young noble like him who is famous in Lulea will definitely not be able to refuse such a pitiful beauty."
"How come I heard that Baron Porcupine is not good at seducing women?" Someone raised an objection.
The four of them discussed it for a while, and finally decided on this method. It could cause a little commotion, which was better than calmness.
However, someone else came up with a new idea: "Since we can use a honey trap, there is no need to kill Baron Porcupine. Why not just confuse him directly? He is originally a noble of the East Gorge. Maybe he will not refuse to join?"
"We never thought about looking for Baron Porcupine before?!" The four of them were shocked. Baron Porcupine, who was famous outside, had never been included in the consideration of wooing him.
Finally a consensus was reached.
"Let who go?"
A new question.
"Caitlin!" said the person sitting in the north seat.
The person in the east position said: "It's definitely okay for her to go, but she should have a greater role and not just for a small riot."
The person in the south position smiled: "Are you still thinking about giving her to Varian de Storm, the old lion?"
Dongzi hummed softly: "We know that he loves beauty, no one can refuse Caitlin's beauty."
"We don't have many opportunities left. Tools are only as useful as they are needed."
Arguments are inevitable.
"Then let Caitlin go." In the end, the person sitting in the north seat made the final choice.
"But Baron Porcupine will definitely not take the bait so easily. What's your plan of action?"
"Of course it's a hero saving a beauty. If you encounter a poor and beautiful lady running for her life in the dark rift valley, will you just sit back and ignore her?"
"...if he looked like Pearl, yes"
After remaining silent, the person sitting in the west seat cursed loudly, speaking in a woman's voice, which was a little hoarse: "May the Four Gods kill your mother!"
The person who was scolded was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said again and again: "Haha, but if it is Caitlin, I will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it!"
"Keep an eye on Baron Porcupine. I hope nothing happens. Once this is done, we can deal with that bastard Ed." The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
The four people stretched out their hands and said in unison: "The giant's withered bones made the stairs, and the giant's flesh and blood made the throne."
"Thunder never ceases!"
