The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 212 The Brave Man Enters the Village

Li planned to delay the refugee group's approach to the town so that the town could better deal with the sudden approach of the refugee group.

But after Li came into contact with the refugee team, he encountered a group of brave men who were full of flaws.

Judging from the dress, words and deeds of the brave man and his followers, they are most likely local young people of Windmill River Bay.

I don’t know what kind of bizarre experience happened, but I actually gained divine power.

Li could see that in order to show off his status, the hero deliberately asked his companions to shout out a bunch of powerful-looking titles.

Many minor nobles did the same thing, thinking that having more titles would make them appear more powerful.

But this stupid behavior just shows that the brave guys are unsophisticated and have never seen the world.

People who truly have status and position will not waste their breath on saying so much. Just showing their faces is enough to gain the respect of others.

"Ah... you guys are doing this, I don't know how to complain for a moment."

"How dare you! You are defying the hero and the authority of the goddess!"

Li originally thought that these young people were just using the name of the goddess to organize the people.

But I didn't expect that they kept talking about the goddess and were quite complacent about it.

This is not a brave man petitioning for the people at all; he is clearly an upstart who suddenly gained power and became arrogant after turning things around.

“…I don’t know whether you can represent the authority of the goddess, but I know that you are standing on the gravel hills. This is the land ruled by the Freyr family. If you don’t want to get into trouble, just obey our management!”

Li, who originally wanted to receive this group of refugees, suddenly developed a strong aversion to them after seeing that they were led by a few brave young men.

Li brought out the Freyr family to suppress the brave men who wanted to have the right to speak.

After hearing the name of the high noble, the hero immediately hesitated.

The organized Freyr Knights Corps was so powerful that even the demons had to retreat. The brave warriors and a group of powerless refugees were simply unable to contend with the Freyr Knights.

The brave man who was originally domineering became a little angry.

"I have never heard of any member of the Freyr family on the Gravel Hills. Don't try to deceive me!"

When Li Jianyong saw that he was afraid of the Freyr family, he realized that these people only talked big but actually didn't have much ability.

Li didn't want these selfish people to destroy the order that the town had worked so hard to establish.

"You can go to the city to see if there are any people from the Freyr family, but the refugees you bring with you are not allowed to get close to our living area!"

"Accepting refugees is the obligation of every regional lord. This is a clause written in the kingdom's decree. You must provide us with food and shelter!"

"Really? If the decree worked, why did you come to Gravel Hill?"

Li and the hero started arguing directly. The rubbish hero opposite him, named Sheng Xingyu, was obviously uneducated. God knows where he stole the glowing dagger in his hand from.

And this damn name, I don’t know who came up with it, it’s so childish.

The brave man was furious. Ever since the food shortage in Windmill River Bay, the brave man led his companions to gather refugees and formed a group that could survive on their own.

In this refugee group, the brave man is absolutely right, and the brave man is the agent of the goddess's will.

With both human and military power, the brave man led the refugee team around everywhere. Wherever they arrived, they were warmly received. However, when they reached the Gravel Hills, they were stopped before entering the city.

If this gets out, how can he, a brave man blessed by the goddess, survive?

The brave men who were driven around tried to gain a foothold on the gravel hills, but Li, who saw through their purpose, would not let them succeed.

"Don't waste your breath. Our town can't accommodate so many people. You must move somewhere else!"

Li opened his mouth to drive them away, and his unwillingness to accept them was very obvious. The brave men no longer pretended, as they were in urgent need of rest.

“…We have finally arrived here, and people are tired and hungry. As a local noble, is this how you treat refugees?!”

"I…"

Li Gang wanted to say something harsh and drive the brave men away somewhere else, when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him.

It was father Jack who came to pick up the refugees riding the horse that Lee had captured.

"I am the leader of the town's militia. We are ready to pick you up. Now, follow me to the garrison!"

"Wait Dad, you can't do this yet!"

Jack wanted to accept these refugees without asking the reason. Li quickly proposed to object, but no one listened to him.

"Dear leader, thank you very much for your acceptance. The immigrants from Windmill Bay are willing to follow your instructions!"

The brave man, who was arrogant towards Li, was very humble towards Jack. He showed an attitude of being willing to obey Jack's command and easily won Jack's favor.

The refugees took action once again, heading straight towards the town.

The refugees had been running all the way here from Windmill River Bay and were already starving. When they saw a town not far ahead, everyone's eyes lit up.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the refugees, Li only felt a chill.

Things are going to get bad!

"Dad, you can't take them directly to town. There are too many of them and it's hard for us to manage them!"

"Relax son, it is our duty as nobles to give them a full meal."

"But we are not the managers of the town, and you are just the leader of the militia, Dad!"

What Li meant was that Jack was incapable of making decisions for all the townspeople, but to others, this statement was undoubtedly a questioning of Jack's authority.

"Mr. Jack, I have always heard of your great name. You were an adventurer hero who was active on the battlefield more than a decade ago. It is our honor to be able to receive your care today."

"Young man, you are really good at talking. I have prepared delicious food and wine. Come and wash away your fatigue from the journey~"

The experiences during his adventurer period were Jack's lifelong wealth. Whenever someone mentioned his glorious deeds, Jack would feel genuinely happy.

But Li started to pour cold water on him again.

"Dad, it's fine if you entertain them, but the refugee resettlement site must be far away from us. They are in danger now!"

"Okay son, the refugees are not in danger. They are a group of poor people. You have also seen the refugees led by Theresa and provided them with help. Why can't you help more people?"

Jack was a little confused at the moment. He couldn't understand why Li was against accepting refugees.

When Li communicated with his parents before, he clearly decided on the future development strategy.

Li kept saying that there might be chaos in the south, and that taking in refugees to expand the population would be beneficial to the development of the town.

Now that refugees have arrived, Li wants to drive them away. This is so contradictory.

Seeing that Jack refused to listen, Li covered his face in pain.

Perhaps only when the consequences become apparent will Jack understand what he has done today.
