The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer
Chapter 229 Hotel Gathering
The priest saw disdain for the flour soup in Li's eyes. How could a person dislike food? Even if it didn't taste good, it could fill his stomach.
You know, there are so many people in the world who are working hard for a meal, and many people have never had a full meal in their entire lives.
Seeing that Li dodged his hand, the priest reached forward again, with a look in his eyes suggesting that he should give me face.
If it was something else, Li would definitely give the other party face, but Li really couldn't eat food.
In fact, the priests had never eaten horse feed, and the sour smell fermenting in the barrel was nauseating, but in order to relieve hunger, the priests still swallowed the food calmly.
"Forget it, I still have food."
Li stepped back a little and took out three homemade compressed biscuits from his inner pocket.
The compressed dry food made by mixing oil, salt, meat powder, etc. makes people drool just by looking at it.
Theresa and Lilith each took a piece and nibbled it skillfully. When they were traveling on the road a few days ago, it was not convenient to make a fire many times, so everyone ate this.
The ordinary food that Li and his two companions ate made the priest on the other side of the hole in the wall open his eyes wide.
The priest screamed and fell down as if he had seen the devil.
The priest's actions attracted the attention of other clergymen, and several of them turned their eyes to the hole in the wall, trying to understand what was happening next door.
Then Li saw a horrifying scene: two arms squeezed into the narrow hole in the wall, trying to grab him like octopus tentacles.
"One bite! Just give me one bite!"
"Hiha~Normal food, food!"
Li was terrified. How many days did these priests have to be starved before they turned into zombie mode?
"Ahem~ I have a lot of food like this, but I can't give it to you until I leave the dungeon."
Lee handed his half cookie to the crazy arm, and when the arm withdrew, there was a chaotic sound in the cell next door.
After a while, a man with panda eyes came close to the hole in the wall and started communicating with Li.
"No, those soldiers don't care whether we live or die, but it's not that easy to get out."
The clergy naturally thought about escaping, but unfortunately there were soldiers checking the condition of the prisoners at the small window every day.
As long as there are fewer people in the dungeon, the remaining people will be in big trouble.
"Oh~ You said they only count the number of people?"
"Is such that…"
Under the priest's surprised gaze, Li and Lilith collected straw and soil from the cell and worked hard to make a dummy.
This dummy doesn't look normal at first glance. Using this kind of trick to deceive the guards, do they really think their eyesight is bad?
The priest on the other side of the wall was about to laugh when he saw Li take off his clothes and cover the dummy with them.
This object leaning against the corner looks quite real if you don't look carefully.
"Theresa, thank you for your help. I'll send someone to pick you up in two days."
Before Theresa could react, Li's body suddenly collapsed and turned into a giant rat.
The big rat and a group of bats slipped out of the dungeon while the guards were not paying attention.
On the other side of the wall, the priest who saw all this suddenly widened his eyes.
"Heresy!"
Before he could scream, Theresa's father covered his companion's mouth and told him to hold back the rest of his words.
At this point, why are you still talking about heresy or not? Don’t you know that your life is in their hands?
After stopping his companions from making any noise, the priest looked at Theresa who was left alone in the dungeon, and suddenly felt that this world was ridiculous.
The paladins and lords who were supposed to be their companions locked these people with strong faith into the dungeon, while the bats and rats who associated with evil were trying to find a way to save them.
The world is truly upside down.
"Holy Scripture, Chapter of Darkness, light is covered with a dirty shadow, but in pure darkness, brilliance will be born. The sun illuminates the day, and the moonlight nourishes the night. There is no justice or evil in the world. Greed, desire, and sin all come from the human heart..."
While a group of clergy were sitting in the dungeon chanting scriptures, Li and Lilith had already arrived at the hotel to meet Xiaoli.
Xiaoli was so happy to see that the young master returned safely and that the annoying nun Theresa was gone.
"Master~ I haven't seen you for a day. Xiaoli has become thinner due to hunger. Huh~"
Seeing Xiaoli imitating her and acting coquettishly, Lilith rolled her eyes.
This stinky maid is not a good person either. She only knows how to flatter others in front of her young master.
"Okay, Xiaoli, and Lilith, I don't have time to watch you perform crosstalk now. How are you doing with the things I asked you to investigate?"
Seeing Li's stern face, the maid and the vampire quickly straightened their attitudes.
"Everything has been investigated. It is very easy to verify these things. The lord and the paladin did not cover up these things at all."
Xiaoli took out a piece of paper covered with symbols, which showed the population structure and tax statistics of the Windmill Hills area.
Just as Lee had expected, large numbers of worthless freedmen were being driven out of Windmill Bay.
On the contrary, wealthy businessmen and nobles who have some assets or even control more resources are treated preferentially here.
The population data and business data show the changing process of the city. Li can see at a glance that the lords and templars here are carrying out population optimization.
"What do they want to do by driving the useless people out of the city and leaving only the elites?"
This kind of thing is a little difficult to understand for Xiaoli and Lilith. They can't figure out what the point of doing this is.
Li, however, is well aware of the value of population optimization.
"As long as we survive the current chaos, Windmill Bay will become more prosperous."
Xiaoli was shocked beyond words when she looked at the statistics she obtained by just wandering around the streets in one day.
The lord and the temple are actually doing such shocking things. How many conscienceless and immoral things have they done?
Xiaoli was even more shocked by Li's knowledge. The young master could see this based on some simple data. Was it necessary for her to protect the young master closely?
Just as the three of them fell silent in the face of a pile of data, someone knocked on the hotel door.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and the brave man's silly face poked his head in. Seeing that Li and the two ladies were dressed neatly, the brave man cleared his throat and walked in.
"Li, I brought a few smart people here and helped you contact Uncle Myron. What do you think I should do next?"
Li and the brave man entered Windmill River Bay one after another in order to avoid being caught in an emergency.
Now that everyone has gathered in the city, Li's plan to subvert control can be boldly implemented.
"Brave man, you have come at the right time. I was wondering where to find servants. Please change your clothes and be my groom."
"Ah, stable boy?"
