The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Milk spiral fried cake.

The soft fried dough twist is mixed with milk and the wheat flour that has been sifted many times is fried to give it a soft texture. The uneven addition of honey makes the taste of each bite vary. This is a snack that can serve as a staple food. After eating a whole one, your appetite becomes even stronger.

Crepes with dried meat and fish jelly.

A combination of common ingredients stuffed into a crepe, with a crispy dough on the outside and a salt-seasoned meat mixture on the inside, will instantly satisfy diners' hunger.

"Next is the dessert, please take your time~"

Li brought out small cookies of various flavors and colors, as well as a large cup of black tea. The utensils were the best in the town, but they still looked rustic.

Carton looked at the plain wooden teacup, picked it up and put it down again. He waved to the servant behind him, who immediately ran outside and brought back a set of precious silver tea sets in a few moments.

After pouring the black tea into his tea set, Cotton's brows relaxed. He touched his bloated belly, and his slow-moving brain began to ponder the feasibility of the dim sum business.

"These are indeed good, but I don't believe that they can make a lot of money..."

Before Carton could finish his words, Li brought a bunch of desserts to the table.

The exquisite cake with soft bread, nut filling and cream on the outside immediately caught everyone's attention.

"The food I gave you just now was mainly to fill your stomach, and now these are commodities."

With animal and flower patterns, as well as icings in different shapes, the dessert that Li finally took out was simply a work of art.

After seeing a cake with the words "Welcome Lord Carton to inspect the territory" written on it, Carton's eyes lit up and he immediately understood the value of the product.

Besides being delicious, this cake also has other values. It’s impossible not to make money from it.

"The cost of making a cake is only eighty copper coins, but the craftsmanship costs thirty silver coins. If a master makes it and it is specially customized for a noble, the fee starts at one gold coin!"

When Cotton and the hero heard Li's asking price, their eyes turned into the shape of money.

Li took the knife handed to him by Xiaoli, cut the cake into small pieces, and distributed them to the people present.

Tasting the cloud-like pastries bit by bit with a small spoon, Cotton and the brave man seemed to have found the joy of childhood.

The tense expressions of the two men relaxed visibly, and their original pessimism towards Li was diluted by the sweetness of the cake.

If I could eat food like this every day in the future, let alone cooperation, I would even call Li dad.

Carton no longer hesitated and immediately said that he would have someone draw up a contract. Once the contract was delivered, he would start a wine and snack business with Li.

Taking advantage of the brief break during the food tasting session, Carton pulled Li aside.

"Brother Li, it's fine if you talk business with me, but what's the matter with that hero?"

A brave man who enjoys a high reputation among the people naturally stands in opposition to the nobles.

From the first moment they met, Carton was wary of the hero.

Out of Li's consideration, Carton had endured for a long time. Now that the business was done and Li did not let the hero leave, Carton finally could not hold it back any longer.

The scene of Carton and Li communicating secretly did not escape the attention of the brave man. Seeing that the lord was so disgusted with him, the brave man stood up and was about to leave.

The brave man was also threatened by Li and was able to sit here patiently to accompany the guests. Now he couldn't please both sides, so he might as well just leave.

Li pushed the hero back into his chair and invited Carton back to his seat.

Li personally poured tea for the two of them, allowing them to calm down temporarily.

"Brave man, tell Lord Carton about your experience."

The hero's eyes widened and he looked at Li in disbelief.

The brave man thought that his experience involved so many secrets, how could he tell it to everyone like telling a story.

Seeing that the hero was unwilling to speak, Lee pointed at Carton.

"When Lord Carton was injured before, the Holy Temple had to bear a great responsibility. From the standpoint, there is no contradiction between you two."

What Li meant by this was to tell the hero that Carton also had a problem with the Holy Temple.

The brave man's eyes lit up when he saw this, which meant that Carton could be won over to his side!

After making his intentions clear, the brave man no longer hid his true intentions and repeated the story he had told Li.

Carton didn't care at first, but the hero's experiences became more and more exciting, especially when it came to those secrets.

"I have never heard of any temple on the snowy plains. For hundreds of years, the holy temple has always been in the southern continent... Wait a minute, could it be that the highlanders built this temple? History says that humans were divided into two groups, and the highlanders and we have a common ancestor. Could this legend be true?"

Carton, who had more knowledge, made many guesses in his mind, but just like Li's previous reaction, no one could judge whether Carton's guesses were correct.

"And that god's revelation about the destruction of mankind is unbelievable!"

Carton felt that what the hero told was like a legendary story.

But the holy sword is hanging on the hero's waist, it can't be fake.

Carton touched the holy sword with his own hands and found that the holy light released by the holy sword was indeed real.

"I thought you, a hero, were recruiting people under the guise of a legitimate cause, but I didn't expect you were also forced."

Talking about this matter, the brave man poured out his troubles to Cotton as if he had found a soulmate.

"Who said it wasn't? I don't want to be a hero, but the oracle is so scary, and I dare not go against God's will!"

The three young men, who originally did not get along with each other, got together to complain about the oracle, the corrupt temple, and the indifferent nobles.

At first, the three of them only drank tea, but later they found tea not satisfying enough, so they switched to sour fruit wine.

After a few drinks, the blood boiled and everyone lost their reserve. Someone said it was a pity that we met too late first, and Li decided to make them sworn brothers.

If there is a close relationship between nobles, they usually hold a loyalty ceremony and publicly declare their loyalty to someone.

Li instigated the two men to kneel down and worship the holy sword, and swear in the name of the goddess and holy light to become brothers with different surnames.

The novel social behavior aroused the interest of Carton and the brave man. They did not realize that there was anything wrong with doing so, they just thought it was fun.

"From today on, we are brothers and sisters, sharing happiness and hardships together. Even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, and the devil and the goddess descend into the world, this oath will not be violated!"

When the ceremony started, Li and the other two were all grinning as if they were playing house.

But halfway through the ceremony, Li suddenly frowned, pulled out a knife and cut his palm.

Blood dripped from the wound to the ground, and Li raised his red palm to the sky.

"Today we swear an oath of blood. If you do anything that goes against your oath in the future, let my bloodline be cut off, my soul be annihilated, and I will not be able to enter reincarnation!"

Li made a solemn oath, and these words suddenly exploded in the hearts of Carton and the heroes, instantly awakening their will.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. They had realized that they had just been hit by some kind of mind-interference magic.

They were forcibly dragged onto the pirate ship by Li!
