The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 227 Prison Storm

Li and Theresa were thrown into prison, which was something no one expected.

Fortunately, Li reacted in time and pushed Xiaoli and Lilith outside.

The lord's dungeon was built like a basement where workers lived, with only a narrow window pane through which one could see the feet coming and going outside.

Loyal soldiers patrolled outside to prevent the prisoners inside from breaking out of the dungeon.

Unfortunately, they had never seen a vampire, and didn't know that vampires could transform into a bunch of bats and pass through narrow gaps to re-condense their bodies.

"Brother Li! I'm here to save you~"

Lilith turned into a bat and flew into the dungeon one by one while the soldiers outside were not paying attention.

Looking at Lilith who had reassembled into a human, Li felt a stomachache.

"You seem very happy to see me locked up in the dungeon?"

"Hehe, I just think Theresa was tricked by the temple, I think it's very interesting, it has nothing to do with Brother Li~"

Lilith's appearance in the cell did not attract Theresa's attention at all. Theresa sat in the corner and recited scriptures just like when she was first captured.

Li watched Theresa from the side and felt that she was very pitiful. In this era when the kingdom and faith were undergoing drastic changes, being simple-minded would only bring trouble upon herself.

"Lilith, please stop mocking Theresa. She's in a very bad mood right now."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to Brother Li~"

After a few jokes, Lilith regained her serious face and told Li about the situation in the city.

"Xiao Li and I rented a room in a hotel. After asking the owner, we found out that the chaos in Windmill River Bay has lasted for nearly two months."

As Lilith slowly told the story, Li got to know more about Windmill Bay.

All the changes started two months ago.

"People in the city said that a group of Templar Knights suddenly appeared two months ago. They took over the church in the city and labeled all the clergy who disobeyed them as heretics..."

"You said those people labeled upright clergy as heretics! What about my father and uncles? Have you found out their whereabouts?"

Theresa, who had been ignoring everyone, jumped up and grabbed Lilith's shoulders after hearing the news.

Lilith was frightened by Theresa, and then looked at Li pitifully.

Lilith's eyes seemed to say, look at Theresa, she's a bully.

Li just felt tired. Lilith liked to let herself go after going out, and this needed to be taught a lesson.

Li signaled to Lilith with his eyes to communicate the important things first.

"Someone saw the Paladins working together with the Lord to capture many clergy who helped the refugees and put them in the dungeon."

"Imprisoned...in a dungeon?"

A bunch of question marks popped up in Theresa's head. They were now in the dungeon, and there were no other priests.

Lilith saw that Theresa was acting silly and pushed her away.

Before Theresa could react, Lilith used earth magic to create a hole in the dungeon wall.

Through the hole in the wall, you can clearly see the situation in the cell next door.

It would be fine if you didn't look at it, but once you did, you'll be horrified.

"Father, Uncle! How could they treat you like this!"

It was really unexpected that the relatives that Theresa was going to find were locked up next door.

There was such a commotion in the cell just now, but there was no sound coming from next door. Theresa was very scared, afraid that the figures lying in the cell had already lost their lives.

Theresa pounded on the cell wall desperately, but the person next door didn't respond.

"Goddess, how can you treat your believers like this!"

Theresa was somewhat desperate. She had imagined people dying in the wilderness, or being slaughtered by monsters or bandits.

But she never thought that her family members, who were clergymen, would die in the lord's dungeon.

What is this? The lord has betrayed his faith and is willing to associate with darkness and evil!

"Theresa, calm down."

"How can I stay calm? The people lying there are not your parents or brothers, so of course you can't care!"

With a slap, Lilith couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Theresa.

The slap felt so good that the corners of Lilith's mouth curled up to the sky.

"…You damn vampire, take my holy light!"

"That's enough! Stop it!"

Li walked between the two and hit them hard on the head.

Lilith and Theresa squatted down in pain, their eyes filled with tears, which made me feel sorry for them.

"Theresa, they're not dead yet, it's too early for you to cry. And Lilith, can you please talk nicely? Theresa is stupid to begin with, and you're teasing her on purpose!"

Li's words almost made Theresa faint with anger. Was he trying to excuse her? This was a blatant insult!

Theresa took a few deep breaths, reminding herself that she still needed the help of Li and Lilith, and now was not the time to lose her temper.

"Are they okay?"

"There must be something wrong. If we don't give them food, they will probably starve to death."

The clergy next door had been thrown into the cell for several weeks. The soldiers would only throw something into the dungeon when they remembered, and they would hardly even take a second look at it.

The clergy were not tortured, but were almost starved to death.

Theresa went to the hole in the wall, picked up a small stone and threw it into the next cell. The man who was hit by the stone moved his fingers slightly. Only then did Theresa believe that those people were still alive.

"What should we do? We can't leave here now!"

Teresa was relieved to learn that her relatives were still alive, but she became more nervous.

Everyone is in urgent need of food support, but they cannot leave the dungeon at will. Theresa is afraid that she will have to watch her family starve to death.

This cruel reality is worse than seeing everyone’s dead bodies directly!

Lee and Lilith stood aside and watched Theresa act stupidly in silence.

"Brother Li, why do you like such an idiot? If I were you, I wouldn't even take the change."

Li sighed helplessly, unable to answer Lilith's sharp question.

"You two! Don't think that just because you helped me a lot, you can just sit there and talk nonsense!"

The noise in the cell finally attracted the attention of the soldiers outside, and one unlucky soldier was selected to check the situation.

This soldier was a young man who was often bullied by the veterans. When he was entering the dungeon, he almost tripped over the stairs and fell.

"Noisy! What are you noisy for? Are you waiting to be whipped instead of saving your strength?"

The soldiers who checked the situation saw that the prisoners were still there and did not raise the alarm.

He imitated the old soldier's way of intimidating the prisoners, hoping that they would be quieter.

Li shook his head helplessly, sighing in his heart that the quality of the soldiers here was really poor.

Lilith, such a living person, stood in front of the soldiers, but the other party did not notice anything was wrong.

Li was too lazy to wait and see the situation and simply nodded to Lilith.

After receiving the instructions, Lilith's eyes turned into a blinding blood red.

A faint wave of magical power eroded the soldiers' brains and changed their cognition.

The vampire's charm skill is activated!
