Chapter 435 The Golden Cup of the Earl of Buffalo
Chapter 435 The Golden Cup of the Earl of Buffalo
The huge palace of Leiweng City.
Gold is the main color here. I don't know whether it is pure gold or gold-plated. The huge door pillars support the roof, the gold bricks on the ground, the golden reliefs carved on the walls, etc.
When the two Blackthorn brothers were summoned by the Earl to enter the hall, their eyes were flashed by bright golden light.
The Earl of Buffalo may not have the elegance of a noble, but he must understand the hearts of most people best.
He deliberately decorated a rockery with various treasures that were either real or fake. On the top of the mountain was a very smart golden mink with sapphire eyes.
In this breathtakingly gorgeous palace, sapphire is the only decorative color besides gold.
The two brothers have not yet recovered from their exaggerated architectural style, because in desert areas, it is the most normal architectural style to build a house with mud and make the house as thick as possible to block the wind, sand and high temperature.
"Look who's here!"
The two looked up. In front of them was a man with a worrying amount of hair on his head but a thick beard. His beard seemed to be carefully groomed with a comb made of hedgehog thorns. Then he sprayed some sparkling light with some gold powder, and A magic potion that can also set the shape.
That ensured that his beard curled up on either side of his lips, like the tentacles of a dung beetle, trembling as he spoke.
"Good day, my lord."
Black Thorn was the first to bend down, and his brother was half a beat slower. Perhaps he did not expect that the legendary Earl of Buffalo would be so exaggerated, and he once again understood why his brother and the elders in the family could not see it. Get on each other.
He is like a fool who wraps himself in gold and only exposes his head. That will not make him look expensive, but will only make the gold lose its original value.
It is said that he was still very wise and powerful back then, but once you think about his dictatorship in the desert for more than ten years, you feel that his arrogance is not unreasonable.
"Black Thorn, our Sea Buckthorn Lord" Earl Buffalo laughed loudly.
The war on Lurea continent only subsided a few years ago, and that war did not affect the desert. Maybe the desert was too barren and the land could not grow food, but it also made the Buffalo Count live a more prosperous life, more prosperous than the king.
"Sit down quickly!"
Earl Buffalo directed his servants to bring the chairs.
The two Black Thorn brothers thanked them and sat down, but they only kept their buttocks occupying the front half, and their waists were straight, as if there were biting thorns on the chairs.
After a while of silence, Black Thorn took the initiative and said, "Sir, Horse City..."
"Hmph!" Earl Buffalo snorted: "The story about Baron Porcupine from the East Gorge, leading a hundred of his men to repel an army of 20 orcs?"
Although only two days have passed, the story of Baron Porcupine bravely fighting hundreds of thousands of troops to protect the princess has already spread.
Everyone is more willing to believe that there was a battle between Baron Porcupine and Viscount Matthew of the Wild Boar Mercenary Group. In the end, there were only more than 2,000 people left in the mercenary group, which is proof.
The orc army must have been a fabrication.
However, the fact that Baron Porcupine destroyed the Wild Boar Mercenary Group really surprised Buffalo Earl Alger. Before that, the Wild Boar Mercenary Group was a huge force. If not for a coincidence, Buffalo Earl and its leader Matthew had a After a meeting and a very pleasant conversation, he successfully exchanged his noble title for loyalty. It was difficult for him to control this powerful force.
According to Buffalo Earl Alger's idea, after gaining the allegiance of the Wild Boar Mercenary Group, the equally tough Sea Buckthorn Lord Black Thorn will not be a problem and can be conquered quickly.
But the Wild Boar Mercenary Group was destroyed too quickly. When he heard that Matthew had summoned more than 4,000 mercenaries to besiege Mama City, he was frightened. He even thought about what would happen if he brought so many people with him. What should I do if a group of extraordinary beings attack Leiweng City?
After living a comfortable life for more than ten years, in order to cut expenses and fear that his lords would support themselves with troops, Earl Buffalo suppressed the military in all aspects.
The result was even more terrifying news: the Wild Boar Mercenary Group died completely.
The good news is that Baron Porcupine is not unscathed. It is said that his injuries are extremely serious. The soldiers he brought with him are either seriously injured or dead, and the extraordinary people under his hands are also almost dead.
Now the Porcupine Baron is just a meat dumpling with all its spikes removed.
It won't make a difference...it's just that Earl Buffalo is used to being safe and he still doesn't want to take action.
Seeing Black Thorn coming at this time, he could certainly guess what he was thinking.
Black Thorn stood up and shouted: "Sea Buckthorn Territory is willing to attack Horse City for you, and let the disrespectful people who bear the name of Princess Sophia go to the fairies to repent! Sir, this is also our true purpose this time!"
The Earl of Buffalo has just lived a good and comfortable life for more than ten years, but that does not mean that his mind is full of sand. After thinking for a moment, the Earl of Buffalo laughed: "Your loyalty will definitely attract the attention of the fairies!"
He doesn't mind if someone takes the initiative to test Horse City. There is nothing about that place that attracts him except horses, but he doesn't need war horses, and he even hates the horses in Horse City.
It's best if someone is willing to attack, otherwise he wouldn't have casually thrown it to Matthew, the leader of the Wild Boar Mercenary Group.
Now it's just a matter of throwing it to Blackthorn again.
There was another reason. He was a little afraid of Baron Porcupine. After all, his reputation in the past two years was so great that he was dozens or hundreds of times more famous than his father, Old Porcupine.
The Buffalo Earl's beard trembled: "Sea Buckthorn Lord Black Thorn!"
"Yes!"
Black Thorn pulled out the sword from his waist and half-knelt on the ground.
"Attack Horse City, and I will give you that territory! And give you the highest honor and reward! Gold cups and fine wine!"
Black Thorn's cheek twitched slightly, and he suddenly wanted to kill the guy in front of him with a sword, but thinking of Horse and Horse City at his fingertips, he still shouted loudly: "Sea Buckthorn will definitely wipe out all thieves and bandits!"
"Haha, may the fairies favor you!" Earl Buffalo walked to Black Thorn who stood up and patted his arm: "Let's go and enjoy dinner together, with the latest beer brewed by Golden Wheatfield."
"Yes, my lord."
……
The adjustment work in Horse City is still going on. Fortunately, horse breeding has officially begun. By next year, hundreds of war horses will be born.
Li Qi also took this opportunity to start a blind date for the Rockets.
This was not an easy task, but fortunately there were experienced horse herders with them. After inspection, they determined that the rocket that grew rapidly after using the bloodline herbs was already mature and ready for breeding.
When they heard that Rocket could mate with war horses and give birth to new Hippogriffs, the horse herders were very excited and wished they could take Rocket and do it with all the mares. However, under Rocket's terrifying force and Li Qi's Under the majesty of the enemy, they still knew their limits and did not dare to force themselves.
Because there is no second Hippogriff, Rocket and ordinary war horses are bred, and the Hippogriff produced will definitely be slightly inferior in all aspects.
Using blood herbs may stimulate the Hippogriff's talent, but Li Qi is not prepared to do so, because in his plan, he will have a complete team of Hippogriff cavalry in the future, and the number is too large and there are not enough herbs.
He has also not mastered the cultivation technology of bloodline herbs, so in a true sense, he only uses one less.
Moreover, instead of cultivating Hippogriffs, it would be better to find a few more ancient blood people like the dragon-born boy Luca. Li Qi was very interested in the fact that the children of spell casters and spell casters were born with magic.
There is no need to learn, it all relies on blood, a bit like a warlock.
It's just that scholars in the Lulea continent don't have a clear division on this, and those who can use magic are collectively called spellcasters.
What Li Qi wanted to do was to find a bloodline warlock and use herbs to activate his bloodline. It would be like playing a game and taking an experience book to reach full level.
Return to the Lord's Hall.
He first saw the 'Pearl of the Desert' Lisu Mama. Her dressing style had changed again. Although she was not as stunning and eye-catching as Cleopatra, she was a hot female leopard who could also cultivate people's sentiments.
Especially the elf White Deer and the snake-man Nia often come to visit. The three styles make people feel better.
"Sir" Desert Pearl is holding a folded blanket.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows, should he use force?
Should he accept it or accept it... His thoughts were confused until she unfolded the blanket.
"flag?"
He recognized the true form of the 'blanket', with the flag of the Golden Holy Grail embroidered on it, which was very similar to the one he owned.
One more thing to mention here is that the Golden Holy Grail has now been transferred to the management of Isis. Vendela has now been transferred to the minesweeper. All dangerous matters are handed over to him. Although his extraordinary power is not of much use, such as being unable to avoid Even in a certain death situation, one cannot improve one's strength, but one can avoid a lot of trouble.
"Princess Sophia's family emblem." She nodded and said, "I have already asked people to rush out a batch of them, and all Mama City will be replaced with this kind of flag."
Li Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, but I remember that the Earl of Buffalo also used this flag."
"Yes." Her delicate face showed a look of disdain: "Alger is the Buffalo Count, the Buffalo Count who married Princess Sophia."
The title of earl comes from Princess Sophia, which is equivalent to marrying into the family. Even if he is now the lord of Leiweng City, he cannot change this.
But as time went by, and the Earl of Buffalo ruled for more than ten years, everyone gradually stopped mentioning this.
When Li Qi was investigating the Golden Holy Grail before, he got many stories and rumors, including one that was said to be true.
It is said that when Princess Sofia was still alive, she would fill the golden chalice with wine to reward warriors who made outstanding contributions.
That is the highest honor.
After the Earl of Buffalo came to power, he did the same thing. The desert knights were proud to taste the wine in the Golden Holy Grail, until Earl of Buffalo got a strange cyst disease called anal boils many years ago.
This disease can kill people, and it is not difficult to cure the strange disease. Someone needs to suck out the poison with the mouth, and then a manservant takes the initiative to take on the task of saving the great earl.
In order to thank the male servants who had made outstanding contributions, the Earl of Buffalo took out the golden cup, poured a large overflowing cup, and rewarded the male servant who had sucked the anal boil.
It is said that since then, many desert nobles have avoided glory.
