The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li agreed to the Countess's request and accompanied her to explore the windmill at night.

This made Lucy very happy. Her initial dislike for Li had now turned into liking for him.

Under Xiaoli's murderous gaze, Lucy took Li's hand without hesitation and snuggled up to Li like a happy little woman.

Lucy's enthusiasm made Li a little overwhelmed, but fortunately the agreed time was tonight, and Li could soon get rid of this clingy girl.

"Brother Li, people say you can do black magic, is that true?"

"It's true. Necromancer is a magical skill passed down from my Weizer family."

"Necromancer! Can you summon skeletons and zombies?"

"No, you can only bend the shadows or make yourself invisible."

Li summoned a shadow in his hand, and the shadow danced like a little man, leaving Lucy stunned.

"Wow, Brother Li is so amazing! If he performs on the streets, he will definitely attract a large crowd of people!"

Li's cheeks twitched, and he didn't know how the Earl could say such a thing.

As a nobleman, going to the streets to perform and cheat people for money, such words should not come from the mouth of a noble.

"Excuse me for a moment. I'm going to go get some self-defense supplies."

Li couldn't stand Lucy acting like a spoiled child around him, so he found an excuse to go outside.

Xiaoli came out with Li and imitated Lucy's tone just now, teasing Li in a sarcastic manner.

"Brother Li~Master, if Lilith knew there were other women who were so tight, she would definitely suck you dry when she came back!"

"...Xiao Li, please go aside. After tonight, I will have nothing to do with this countess."

"Yes, yes, the young master took advantage of her and kicked her aside. Miss Lucy is really pitiful~"

"You took the wrong medicine, Xiaoli!"

Li and Xiaoli were flirting at the door when Lucy suddenly opened the door and stuck to Li again.

"Hey, why are you like this? My young master has already said he will help you, but you are still pestering me..."

Seeing Lucy getting so arrogant, Xiaoli was very dissatisfied.

However, Li frowned and waved his hand to stop Xiaoli.

Li looked at Lucy, and saw a sense of incongruity in her flattering smile that was not suitable for her identity.

If Lucy can only find a sense of security in Lee because her father and brothers are not around, then the previous request is Lucy's limit.

Lucy was just a girl who was spoiled by her family. She even looked down on Li. How could she abandon her dignity and stick to him like this?

Considering Lucy's abnormality, Li came to a conclusion that the Lucy in front of him must know something that others don't know.

Having made up his mind, Li cooperated with Lucy in all his subsequent actions.

He gathered a team of soldiers in the name of the lord and asked them to follow from a distance. Li led Lucy, who put on swords and soft armor, and took advantage of the sufficient light to sneak around the city wall.

Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, you can see the largest windmill outside the city.

This mill is the landmark of Windmill Bay and the basis for the livelihood of half of the people in the city.

As long as we get there by one in the morning, there should be a conclusion to what happened around the Earl's family.

"Miss Lucy, the wind is strong on the top of the city. Let's go down and wait."

As time passed and night fell, the soldiers in the castle who were still loyal to the Dalai family took up their weapons and lit torches.

Lee and Lucy, each riding a horse, both dressed warmly, were at the front of the team.

Lee and Lucy looked at each other, and both pulled the reins at the same time. The horses carried the two of them and set off on the road to the windmill.

On the way from the castle to the outside of the city, many passers-by were wondering why the soldiers from the castle were dispatched when they hadn't heard of any war going on anywhere.

Some people even recognized Li, the villain who had been roasted on the fire before, and now he was walking side by side with the lord's daughter.

Facing these curious gazes, the group left the city and came to the moonlit suburbs.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and people with good eyesight can see the general situation even without the help of a torch.

"Miss Lucy, are you scared?"

"With Lee by my side, I'm not afraid!"

"...That's it."

Li and Lucy only exchanged these two sentences and did not speak again for the rest of the journey.

After riding for about half an hour, Lee and Lucy arrived in front of the big mill and saw a figure standing in the dark in the distance.

"It's brother!"

Lucy saw her brother, and the figure waved to her.

Lucy drove the horse forward, wanting to see her brother as soon as possible, but she saw a dark shadow flash and go straight into the mill.

"Lucy, wait a minute!"

Li tried to call out to Lucy, but Lucy seemed to be overwhelmed by her impatience and did not listen to Li's warning at all.

Seeing Lucy jump off the horse, run forward, and dive into the dark mill, Li sighed silently, dismounted and followed.

Li stood at the dark door of the mill and looked inside. Seeing that it was pitch black and there was no sound, Li scratched his head awkwardly and called Lucy softly.

"Lucy~"

No one responded. The dark mill was filled with an eerie atmosphere, as if a monster could jump out of it at any moment.

Li took another step forward, and suddenly, a wall of earth rose up, blocking the entire entrance to the mill.

When Li realized that he had stepped into a trap, he immediately turned around and knocked on the earth wall, shouting to the soldiers on standby outside.

Unfortunately, Li couldn't break through the earth wall, and the soldiers outside didn't react at all.

"Don't make any more useless struggles, Li. You killed my father, and tonight is the night you will pay for your crimes!"

A fire lit up in the darkness; it was little Dalai who lit the oil lamp.

The flame of the oil lamp shone on little Daley's face, casting a distorted shadow on the side of the mill.

"I came here with Lucy. I didn't kill your father!"

Li's defense drew ridicule from Little Dalai, who took out a sharp knife and waved it in the air at Li, as if he was thinking about how to cut Li into pieces.

"You said there is no answer, right? The Paladin has already told me that you used necromancy to control me. This is all your conspiracy!"

Little Dalai rushed towards Li and stabbed him in the heart.

Little Dalai was very strong, and even though Li was wearing soft armor, he was still stabbed through the body.

However, he was only stabbed in the heart and could not take Li's life.

Li touched the wound casually and licked the blood on his fingertips to his lips.

The rusty smell of the blood was refreshing and helped dispel much of Li's drowsiness and fatigue.

"You, are you a human or a monster!"

Seeing that the knife could not kill Li, Little Dalai was horrified. He dropped the knife and backed away, trying to retreat into the shadows and hide again.

Li shook his head helplessly. He was tired of continuing to act.

"Ms. Lucy, the game is over. Mr. Little Dalai is not your toy!"

As Li pointed out the false plot, little Dalai immediately calmed down, and Lucy, who had disappeared in the shadows before, also walked into the light.

In the mill with its exit blocked, Li faced the Dalai siblings alone.

The ending has already been determined.
