The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer
Chapter 221 Waiting for someone
How much does beef cost per pound?
When they heard Li's question, the brave group was all confused.
The devil Li cares about beef. Does that mean beef can summon devils?
Or does Li want to transform those tundra bison into minotaurs?
The brave men were obviously overthinking it. Li just wanted to know whether there were many bison and whether he could form a long-term and stable trade with the Highlanders.
Lee had already sensed that the South was going to be in chaos. In the chaotic situation, commercial activities in the South would be curbed. If he wanted a stable source of meat, trading with the Highlanders might be a good choice.
"No, why are you asking us about the price of beef? Don't you care about the ruins and the holy sword?"
The hero originally didn't intend to struggle, but Li's attitude still made him break down.
Li scratched his ears and flicked off the mud on his fingernails.
"Even if I ask you about the ruins, what can you tell me?"
The cellar suddenly became quiet, and everyone else blushed as they followed Li's train of thought.
Everything the brave men knew about the incident had been described. There were indeed many unclear points, such as the strange power, unknown history, and those paladins who traveled thousands of miles to deliver their heads.
But the hero can't answer these questions, so why is Li asking?
"…Your attitude makes us look stupid."
"You also know that you are stupid~"
Chilling!
The brave men and others who were originally afraid of Li were so angry that they rushed towards Li together, and even if they couldn't beat him, they would punch Li in the face.
However, the brave man who had been lying down suddenly stood up, and the pressure accumulated in his abdomen was released at once.
In the narrow cellar, there was a popping sound, and a rich scent instantly replaced the originally polluted air.
"Get up quickly!"
"Sam is stunk!"
"Don't squeeze!"
The cellar was instantly in chaos.
When Li and the brave man sat down to talk again, everyone changed their clothes. Li invited the brave man to his home and thoughtfully prepared stir-fried lamb to treat them.
"It's like this. I need you to take your men to occupy Windmill Bay. After we take that fertile land and connect it with the Gravel Hills, we will have the confidence to fight against the South."
The hero understood that Li was ambitious and wanted to split the kingdom and become king himself.
"You asked me to do this, and I have no power to refuse. But I also have no power to occupy Windmill Bay. I was driven out by the nobles there."
Before the brave man ran to the Gravel Hill, he naturally wanted to occupy Windmill Bay. Unfortunately, the local lord had a loyal group of knights to protect him, not to mention those knights of the Vatican who had not yet taken action.
If the brave man really dares to lead people to attack, it will definitely attract a large number of nobles to attack, and then Gravel Hills will not be at peace.
"I know it's unrealistic to lead soldiers to seize the land, so I don't plan to force you to do it."
"So what are you going to do? Tell me first. I don't have to listen to you."
If Lee wants the hero to go against his principles, the hero would rather die than be manipulated by others.
"Wow~ You've robbed our town, and you still have the nerve to say that you have principles? In fact, I have a better way to control you. First I'll kill you, and then revive you. You still have to obey me obediently."
The brave man was almost choked to death by Li, so he had to speed up and show off his meal to get back some money at the table.
"Don't worry, I will shape you into a true hero, so that everyone will respect you, believe in you and be willing to fight with you."
What’s the point of being a brave man of Windmill River Bay? If you want to be a brave man, you should be a brave man for all mankind, standing above the king, above the temple, and even above the goddess!
The brave man didn't expect that Li would paint such a big picture all at once. The more he listened, the more unrealistic it seemed, but in his heart he was eager to try.
Since life is not going well anyway, why not give it a try with Li? What if we can really overthrow the corrupt kingdom and create a glorious world?
"What about the details? Tell me more specifically, what do you want me to do?"
"I will go to Windmill Bay with you and help you take your first step towards glory. But now, I am still waiting for someone."
wait?
Li, do you have any other plans?
Realizing that Li was planning a big game, the brave men immediately suppressed their last bit of dissatisfaction.
The hero had called Li a devil before, but now it seems that Li might be even scarier than the devil.
"Brother Li! I'm back. The knights are all behind us. They will be here soon..."
Just when Li was talking to the hero, Lilith suddenly rushed in from the door. Seeing Li and the hero sitting at a table drinking, Lilith swallowed all the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Lilith looked at Lee, then at the hero, and finally whispered in Lee's ear.
"Brother Li, didn't you tell me that the hero might destroy the town and asked me to call for help? What's wrong with you now?!"
"Don't worry Lilith, the hero did attack us, but it was all a misunderstanding and it's been resolved now."
Lilith was sent out by Lee in order to call for some helpers to fight against the hero.
As a result, the hero acted too quickly, and Li was forced to use necromancy directly to resolve the conflict between the two sides.
This rendered the reinforcements brought by Lilith useless.
There was a noise outside the house, many war horses neighing, and the sound of knights' armor colliding.
Li took the brave man outside to watch the excitement, and saw a team of authentic Freyr knights neatly lined up in the square in the center of the town.
The leader was wearing silver armor and his hood was painted with the crest of the Freyr family.
Seeing that there was no danger in the town, the man took off his helmet with a puzzled look on his face.
"Lord Carton, welcome to our place. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Cotton personally led the knights to provide support in order to repay Li for saving his life.
Seeing Li and Lilith coming to greet him, Carton jumped off the horse enthusiastically and gave Li a hug.
"Li, didn't you say that there was a group of people wandering around the town? Why didn't I see those criminals you mentioned?"
"They are refugees, Lord Carton."
Li emphasized the title of Lord Carton several times in a row, and the brave man finally realized belatedly that he had not yet greeted Carton.
"Dear Lord, I am Saint Xingyu, a follower of the Goddess of Light and the leader of 1,300 refugees. It is an honor to meet you!"
Carton came here this time just for Li's sake. A brave man suddenly appeared, and Carton was not very interested in him.
However, due to his noble upbringing, Carton responded to the brave man's greeting and even gave him his whip.
"Lee, what's going on with this hero?"
"It's a long story, Carton. Come sit inside for a while. Your soldiers can go to the tavern in town to rest."
Li's perfunctory attitude made Carton feel cheated. He was a little dissatisfied. He was very tired after riding here on horseback!
Seeing that Carton was a little annoyed, Li quickly comforted the young lord.
"Lord Carton, it was indeed my fault to let Lilith go for help. I apologize to you. As an apology, I will give you a wine recipe as compensation."
"Drinking recipe?"
Carton had no idea that gravel hills could produce any fine wine, but when he sat down at the table, he found out he was wrong.
It's also extremely wrong.
"You guys are wasting such good wine by drinking it out of a wooden bowl!"
