The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The refugees followed Jack's instructions and entered the town obediently. The originally quiet town immediately became noisy.

People took out food to entertain these guests from afar. The refugees were very grateful and expressed their thanks to the townspeople.

Everyone was singing and dancing, showing a peaceful scene. The chaos that Li was worried about did not happen.

Jack and Lee looked out the window together, and after seeing all this, Jack patted Lee on the shoulder.

"Son, I know what you are worried about. The sudden arrival of so many people will cause us a lot of pressure, but as long as we deal with it properly, we can turn trouble into benefit. Don't you need people to build a town? These people are the best help."

"Father, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. These new refugees are all led by that unknown hero. They will not integrate into our group."

When Jack heard what Li said, he was surprised.

"Isn't it good to have a hero to restrain them, or are you jealous that someone your own age has already taken on such a big responsibility?"

Now it was Li's turn to be dumbfounded.

Why would my cheap dad think like this? What is there to be jealous of that non-mainstream hero?

Li was about to explain that he didn't have such a weird idea at all, when he saw the brave man coming over and inviting Jack to take a seat.

"Mr. Jack, perhaps my arrival has caused dissatisfaction among you, and I would like to apologize to you here."

"Young hero, this has nothing to do with you. My son has always been like this."

The brave man looked at Li's deflated expression, then looked at Jack's hospitable attitude, and he understood who was the host here.

The brave man invited Jack to the living room and enthusiastically asked Jack about the stories of his adventures in his youth.

And the followers of those brave men all gathered around Li.

"I have seen many petty nobles like you who only care about their own interests and treat the people as property, cattle, sheep, or even weeds!"

"Our arrival will indeed consume some of your stored food, but we will also help you build your town. Put away that annoying face of yours, this is a mutually beneficial thing!"

"You are far inferior to my hero. It is not your turn to call the shots here. Just tuck your tail between your legs and hide under your maid's skirt!"

The hero's followers belittled Li into the dust with one sentence each, as if they were the masters here.

Li Mo said nothing and let them ridicule him. This was Li's home and he didn't want to fight here and mess up the furniture.

"Master, I can't stand them bullying you like this!"

Xiaoli was right next to Li and heard all the mocking words clearly.

Xiaoli, holding a kitchen knife, raised her hand and was about to fight with these people, but Li quickly stopped her.

"Okay Xiaoli, let's go back to the kitchen."

After being scolded, Li still had to cook for these people. He endured it silently like a drowned dog.

When the brave man and his companions saw Li hiding in the kitchen, they were so amused that they were about to explode.

However, in front of Jack, they still behaved well and called him "senior" one by one, which made Jack very happy.

After Xiaoli returned to the kitchen, she puffed up her cheeks and looked angry. Seeing her expression, Li pinched her twice.

"Master, aren't you angry? Those people are too shameless!"

Li was not angry at all and took out the precious ingredients.

The bag of flour was pure and had been specially prepared by Li for making desserts.

Normally, Li would only use this bag of flour when girls came to visit, or when he was in a good mood to make some small things for Rose and Xiaoli.

Xiaoli was so furious when she saw with her own eyes that Li took out the best things and prepared to make them into food and send them to those people outside who belittled the young master.

"No, I can't stand it anymore, Master, wait for me to chop them up and then I'll help you!"

Xiaoli raised the kitchen knife again, but was held down by Li again.

"Xiao Li, don't be anxious. What I cook is not that delicious~"

Li laughed, and after looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to the kitchen, Li waved his arms at the ingredients in the kitchen.

"Oh, mali mali hong~ If you eat my food, you have to listen to me. Anyone who dares not to listen will turn into a toad!"

Lee danced around the kitchen, twisting his arms in a seaweed dance.

Xiaoli was frightened by Li's crazy look. She saw circles of black lines growing on the food that was cursed by Li.

Is it necromancy or a vicious curse?

"…Master, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Xiao Li, who was the one who just said he wanted to chop them up? Young Master, I'm taking revenge in my own way. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Li handed a plate of fried spring rolls to Xiaoli and asked her to take it out.

Xiaoli looked at the fragrant spring rolls topped with cheese and felt like she was holding a bomb.

No matter how delicious the food is, it will no longer smell good after being cursed by Li.

"Xiao Li, watch your emotions!"

After being reminded by Li, Xiaoli took several deep breaths before pretending to be aggrieved and sulky.

Xiaoli walked out with the plate and stood in front of the dining table.

Xiaoli did not hand over the food immediately, but stood next to Jack, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Xiaoli's expression, everyone understood her attitude as wanting to stand up for the young master.

"Xiao Li, these people are guests. You can't have this attitude. It's not good."

“…Yes, sir.”

After being taught a lesson by Jack, Xiaoli obediently put the food on the table.

Xiaoli lowered her head and saw the brave man and his followers happily sharing the appetizers made by Li. She also saw that Master Jack also ate a large piece.

Xiaoli's mood improved instantly.

"A bunch of rubbish, I can't eat you to death!"

Jack wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and when he saw Xiaoli still standing beside him, he became a little confused.

Xiaoli is usually a smart child. Why is she so stubborn today?

"Xiao Li, let Li Duo prepare some delicious food. You should go to the kitchen and help."

"Yes, sir."

Xiaoli retreated respectfully and before returning to the kitchen, she saw Jack introducing the newly brewed sour fruit wine to the brave men with a proud look on his face.

The brave warriors, who had never seen the world, all made noises of surprise when they first took a sip of the sour fruit wine.

It was the first time for them to drink such high-end liquor. In that era of underdeveloped productivity, the shock brought by high-end drinks was no less than seeing a dragon in the street.

"Mr. Jack, this wine must be very valuable. We have never tasted such delicious wine!"

Jack looked very proud and felt like he was on a whim because of the flattery.

"Come on, drink up, there's plenty of wine left~"

"Mr. Jack, is this wine produced in Gravel Hills?"

Jack nodded and showed the brave man the large wine vat and the device for filtering the wine.

Listening to the brave man and others flattering him, Jack's mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

Jack, who was feeling elated, didn't notice that while the brave men were praising Jack, they were also looking at each other with greedy eyes.
