The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lian showed off her power in Lucy's office, smashed her furniture, and then ran out in a hurry.

The Vatican knights waiting outside saw Lian coming out angrily and surrounded her to ask about the situation.

"Miss Lian, did the Countess reveal the whereabouts of the rebels?"

"Miss Lian, the Countess might also turn to darkness. You can't be soft-hearted!"

The knights who had gathered around were talking non-stop. Lian, who was already angry, glared at them and forced the annoying knights back.

"That's enough! I have other things to do. It is your responsibility to punish treason!"

Lian would accept the king's mission and come to the north to investigate the rebellion, more importantly to check on her brother.

As for the task of arresting rebels, it will mostly fall on the shoulders of the Vatican's knights.

The previous actions of the Vatican Knights had already exposed the truth. Their real purpose was to label Lian Ye as a traitor.

Unfortunately, after provoking Lian's anger, the Vatican Knights were unable to defeat Lian. They could only stop and continue to follow Lian's lead.

He wanted to throw dirty water on Lian, but failed in the end. How ridiculous it was.

However, this kind of ridiculous behavior is common among the nobles, and Lian is no longer surprised.

"Miss Lian, are you sure you want to disobey the king's order?"

Lian didn't look back and walked away from the knights.

The knights looked at Lian's departing back, and only clenched their fists after making sure that Lian was completely far away.

"That woman is so arrogant, who does she think she is!"

"Humph! Wait until the king revokes the title bestowed upon the Freyr family, and then we'll see if she can still be disrespectful to us!"

The knights of the Vatican were cursing and swearing, without any respect at all as they had shown when Lian was still here.

People like them have disgusting faces that say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and it makes people feel sick just by looking at them for a second.

Lian knew without even looking that those Vatican knights would definitely gossip about her behind her back.

Since they were not his subordinates, Lian didn't want to interfere in their affairs.

Lian, who was sulking, walked aimlessly on the street. The hustle and bustle of the streets around her gradually dissipated the anger in Lian's heart.

"There's a bookstore here? It's incredible."

There were various signs hanging on the shops along the roadside, and Lian stopped in front of a bookstore.

As far as Lian knew, the capital was the only place in the entire kingdom that had a bookstore, and such a store was specially prepared for magicians.

But Lian saw that most of the people coming in and out of the shop were ordinary people, and there was no magical fluctuation on them.

With doubts in mind, Lian walked into the store. After taking a quick look around, Lian was surprised to find that her previous worries had become a reality.

The shops here sell books for ordinary people. Displayed at the door are some weaving techniques and picture albums, as well as posters with various products printed on them.

Lian walked a few steps into the bookstore and saw a book with the words "Forging Method" written in large letters, clearly displayed in front of her.

On the same shelf, there is also the method of making wooden furniture.

Lian flipped through it casually and saw clear drawings and pictures of the structure of a carriage, as well as some precautions for building a wooden house at the back.

At the end of the book, the price of the book is printed.

The value of sixteen silver coins was beyond the reach of most people, but Lian decisively took out her purse and held all the books in front of her in her arms.

Since we haven't caught the rebels who caused trouble in the north, we can still report back with these books.

Lian believed that bringing these books back to the capital would be more useful than punishing a rebel.

After walking around the bookstore, Lian finally stopped in front of a pile of fairy tales.

Fairy tales were the best-selling item in the store, and each volume had many duplicates listed together.

Lian confirmed that what Lucy said was true, that Beidi really had mastered the method of quickly printing books.

For some unknown reason, Lian took out a story book about the Duke's daughter and the little knight that she had torn up before.

After returning to the hotel, Lian reopened the fairy tale that had made her so angry.

Looking at the vivid little people in the illustrations, Lian suddenly felt that her anger was a little ridiculous.

It's a children's book, why should I be so angry...

Lian soon regretted it, because this storybook was really worth all the trouble.

After skipping the dark history at the beginning, the fairy tale becomes more and more close to reality.

"The king wants to build a golden palace. In order to gather the wealth of the entire kingdom, the king orders all nobles to increase taxes..."

The little girl in the Duke's family grew up to be a lady knight after a few years. She also had a territory and had to go to the fields to collect taxes herself.

"The farmer couldn't pay more taxes, so he fell to the ground crying at the lady's feet. The lady felt sorry for the farmer and exempted him from taxes..."

The farmers were exempted from taxes, but the king had no way to explain this, so the lady had to pay the tax gap out of her own pocket.

"One month, two months, one year, two years, the lady always felt sorry for the farmer, but made herself poor. The lady's subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, so they burned down the farmer's house and took away the farmer's last property..."

After reading this, Lian suddenly remembered the scene she saw near the royal capital.

It was also a tax collection team. They were counting coins and laughing as they watched the farmer's burning house on the side of the road.

Lian went over to ask what was going on, and the tax collectors told her that the farmer whose house was burned had been in arrears of taxes for half a year and had already been put on the criminal list.

Lian watched silently as the tax collector put the farmer on a prison cart and took him to the gallows in the city for public execution.

Reality and fairy tale merged into one, and Lian's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

I still have half of the fairy tale in my hand to read. How will the following things develop?

Lian found that her hands were shaking, and she was actually afraid to read the rest of the story.

"Miss, you've been looking at this page for a long time, turn it quickly!"

A hand stretched out from Lian's side and turned the page of the story.

A well-shaped figure suddenly popped up on Lian's forehead, and she wished she could bite the guard beside her to death.

"The king discovered that the lady had tampered with taxes, and immediately stripped her of her title and was about to publicly execute her. At the critical moment, her childhood playmate rode out on a horse, killed the executioner with a sword, and saved the lady from death!"

What a hero saving a beauty! Lian felt a little shy just imagining that scene.

Lian had actually imagined the scenes in the storybook before.

The prince charming who rescued her seemed to be gradually merging with a chubby face.

I don't know what Lee will look like when he grows up...

Lian's brain was wandering uncontrollably, and then she heard the unromantic voice of her personal guard.

"Miss, this executioner died a tragic death. What did he do to offend anyone?"

Lian narrowed her eyes and looked at the stupid guard, and decided to replace her when she returned.
