The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li made the decision to swear brotherhood on a whim. Maybe Kadon and the hero didn't understand the significance of the swearing brotherhood, but Li had never thought about living and dying together with those two people.

Brothers can enhance everyone's feelings. As long as Carton and the brave can be a little more biased towards themselves when doing things in the future, Li's investment will not be in vain.

It’s a pity that peach trees don’t grow on the gravel hills, otherwise Li would definitely have chanted a poem about the East-flowing Yangtze River.

"Okay, Carton, you can go back and prepare for business and trade. The brave man and I will find a way to control the migrating refugees."

After experiencing so much this time in Gravel Hill, Carton was still a little confused, so he just left.

Cotton was going back to discuss Li's proposals with the head maid Himanda. To show his sincerity, Cotton left two knights to guard the town.

After seeing off Carton, the brave man sat back at the dining table, wanting to continue enjoying his pastries.

Li pulled the brave man up and told him to go back and pack his things.

"We have to get to Windmill Bay as soon as possible. Success or failure depends on this!"

All of Li's development plans were based on sufficient food supply, so Windmill River Bay was extremely critical and Li had to take action personally.

The brave man didn't expect Li to be so anxious. He just made a plan and wanted to execute it immediately. Didn't he even think about it a little?

"Only those nobles who have lost their ambition and those vain ladies would waste time before going out. A real man will do what he says!"

The brave man must be a real man, so he grabbed two waffles and went out.

"Xiao Li, help me prepare my luggage."

"Okay, Master!"

Li will take Xiaoli with him this time when he goes out, which makes Xiaoli very happy.

Last time Li and Lilith went on a business trip, they left Xiaoli at home, which made Xiaoli very lonely.

As the young master's maid, Xiaoli has always enjoyed serving the young master. I don't know if anything good will happen on this business trip~

Xiaoli, thinking about good things, skipped upstairs. As a professional maid, packing luggage is Xiaoli's specialty.

Xiaoli knows every item in Li's room and also knows what kind of clothes Li likes to wear when he goes out.

"Master likes this pair of sheepskin shorts the most~"

While stuffing Li's shirt into the backpack, Xiaoli also stuffed a can of talcum powder into it, which was used to apply to the armpits to prevent prickly heat.

Just as Xiaoli packed Li's backpack and was about to return to her room to prepare her own luggage, Xiaoli suddenly became dazed.

Xiaoli stood at the door blankly at first, then turned around and went back to Li's room.

In Li's room, the iron box, which was usually quiet and motionless, was emitting light rhythmically.

Xiaoli was attracted by the light and took the initiative to open the iron box that Li had repeatedly emphasized not to approach. The source of the flash then appeared in front of Xiaoli.

The Book of the Dead is like an anglerfish in the deep sea, and the frequency of its light seems to lead people into the abyss.

Xiaoli picked up the Book of the Dead from the box unconsciously and carried it into her room.

Xiaoli, who was seduced by the Book of the Dead, is like a zombie cicada controlled by a fungus. No one knows where her consciousness has gone, and only her body is moving silently.

Xiaoli, with lifeless eyes, found a large backpack from her room, tore off a bed sheet, and wrapped the Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead was stuffed into the innermost part of Xiaoli's backpack in a dignified manner, and it was filled with miscellaneous items that Xiaoli might need in her daily life.

After packing her backpack, Xiaoli tied the pocket with a rope. When she tied the knot, Xiaoli regained consciousness.

“…What just happened?”

Xiaoli only remembered that she was preparing luggage for the young master, so how come she was back to her room in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that she was too serious about her work and had a brief trance?

Xiaoli didn’t pay much attention to her previous distraction. After all, when cleaning, Xiaoli would clean the room twice.

Both lack of concentration and high concentration can lead to deviations in people's cognition.

Xiaoli stumbled down the stairs carrying two large bags.

When Li turned around, he saw a large package that was almost as tall as a person. He was so scared that he used the tactical backward move.

"Xiao Li, if you carry so many things with you, you will be exhausted before you even get to your destination!"

"But, these are all things that the young master must use."

Lee snatched the package and opened it to examine its contents.

"Oh my god, Xiaoli, why did you put the pot in my backpack!"

Li threw a whole set of cooking utensils out of the luggage, and Xiaoli pouted as she watched.

Xiaoli was very sad because the things she had stuffed into her backpack with great difficulty were thrown away by the young master.

Just as Li was shuffling his luggage, Lilith came over from the side.

"Brother Li, I just felt a strange wave of magic, which is very similar to the charm technique passed down by our vampire ancestors."

Lilith had just eaten a lot of cake, and there was still cream on the corners of her mouth.

Li wiped the cream off Lilith's face, making her face blush.

"Brother Li, I have something serious to tell you~"

"Yeah, I feel it too."

Before, when Li was fooling Carton and the hero, he asked Lilith to help add charm to the food.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, someone else used charm to attack the people around Li.

Li continued to rummage through the backpack and found a flat rectangle at the bottom of Xiaoli's backpack.

Li only needed to touch it with his hand to realize what the thing's true form was.

"Alas~ A handmade box can't block the Book of the Dead."

The Book of the Dead was smuggled into Xiaoli's backpack. Although Li was unable to see what happened upstairs just now, he could already guess what had happened.

Li really wanted to throw away the Book of the Dead, but he was afraid that throwing it away would cause even greater trouble.

"Brother Li, what should we do? Will this book affect Xiaoli?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. Don't tell Xiaoli yet."

For now, there is not much that Li can do to deal with it. It is better to face the risks in front of him than to let the Book of the Dead do something secretly behind his back.

Li did not take out the Book of the Dead. He pretended it did not exist for the time being and waited to see what would happen next.

Li had just finished dealing with the luggage when his father Jack came up to him again.

"Son, you are going to Windmill Bay. It might be dangerous along the way. Let me call some uncles to help you."

Jack wanted to arrange some militiamen for Li to protect his safety on the road.

Li rejected it directly.

"Dad, I didn't go there to fight. Why would I bring so many people with me? With Xiaoli and Lilith here, it will be more convenient for us to move."

Li really doesn't want Jack to interfere in his affairs. His father is good in every way except that he has a rigid mindset and doesn't know how to adapt.

Seeing Li's objection, Jack became stubborn again.

"If you don't bring anyone with you, I won't let you go. Your mother and I will. You are my only son. If something happens to you, what will we do?"

Li's eyes widened. He didn't expect his father would use this kind of moral blackmail.

Li really wanted to pry open Jack's head and see what was inside!

Before Li could get angry, Theresa's arrival interrupted the quarrel between Li and Jack.

Theresa was also carrying a backpack and holding a thick wooden scepter in her hand, dressed as if she was going on a journey.

"Lee, I'll go with you too."
