The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The news that the kingdom had sent a great noble to take over the North quickly spread.

The great nobleman coming out of the royal capital was very high-profile along the way. He would stop in every village and town he passed by and carefully examine the profits brought by the new business.

After walking and stopping along the way, when they arrived at Windmill River Bay, everyone knew that things could not be violated.

More importantly, the great nobleman who came to take over the territory was not the marquis as rumored, but a duke of prominent status.

Blake Von was a distant relative of the Freyr family, a member of the Von family also known for their bravery.

"Your Excellency, the Windmill Bay is ahead. It's even more lively here than the rumors say!"

When Grand Duke Feng came to take over the Northland this time, he not only brought a fully staffed royal legion, but also brought a staff group.

These people include the best in all walks of life. They are the tentacles of Duke Feng's control over the territory and the extension of his mind.

They were different from the group of idiots in the capital who only knew how to compete at dances.

Duke Feng has his own unique understanding of prosperity.

This time he came to the North to take over the territory, he was serious and had no complaints.

"The southern part of the kingdom has long been stagnant. Too many nobles have cut the once intact economic chain into pieces. The north is still better. As long as someone can integrate the resources here, it will burst out with astonishing power!"

Everyone could see the wealth of the North, and every step they took was on gold and silver coins.

"Send someone to inform Count Lucy to prepare for the handover of territory, and alert the soldiers. This will be our home from now on!"

At the command of Grand Duke Feng, the knights immediately rushed towards the castle at Windmill River Bay.

Unlike the previous time, this time no one jumped out to stop the knight on horseback.

Everyone was informed in advance by Lucy to greet their new lord respectfully.

Now that Countess Lucy has compromised, no one will cause trouble for Grand Duke Feng.

Grand Duke Feng rode on the back of a mighty dragon-blood warhorse, wearing a suit of fine gold plate armor that was much thicker than that of the guard knights.

The road into the city was very smooth, and the common people all saluted Duke Feng in awe.

Everything made Duke Feng very satisfied.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke! Count Lucy has granted you permission to enter the castle!"

The knight who had gone to report earlier brought back good news. Seeing that Lucy was tactful, Grand Duke Feng also displayed his noble manners.

"Have the rest of the soldiers stationed outside the city and not disturb the residents."

The main force retreated, and only about thirty people were left with Duke Feng.

They all held their heads high and escorted Grand Duke von into the castle.

Countess Lucy was waiting in the castle courtyard early. She was not riding a horse today, nor was she wearing a magician's costume.

The appearance that Lucy presented to Grand Duke Feng was that of a slightly haggard noblewoman.

"I have heard of Lord Feng's reputation for a long time, but I never thought I would be able to meet Lord Feng in person today. If my father and brother were still alive, they would definitely be proud of today!"

"No need to be so polite, Earl Lucy. I am also sorry for what happened to your father and brother. The Dalai family is the pillar of the North, but now it has to rely on a woman like you to maintain it. Thank you for your hard work."

Lucy was very touched that Mr. Feng was really thinking about her.

Lucy wanted to rush over and tell Mr. Feng about the pain of running her own territory.

"Now that Mr. Feng is here, I can finally get rid of my daily worries. Before, I was terrified that if one place was not done well, it would affect the people of the whole city. Now that Mr. Feng is here in person, Lucy will follow Mr. Feng's arrangements in everything!"

Lucy's attitude was very sincere, and at least on the surface, she did not create any obstacles for Duke Feng to take over.

But the staff officers brought by Feng Gonghe did not easily believe Lucy's friendliness.

It is no secret that Lucy personally drove away the Templar Knights. Everyone knows that Count Lucy in front of them is a dormant wolf.

Several staff officers gathered together and discussed how to deal with Lucy.

On Lucy's side, there was only a maid who was serving tea and water.

Seeing that the power between the two sides was so unequal, Mr. Feng cursed in his heart that he would be known as a bully of women.

But Mr. Feng doesn't really care about this matter.

As long as he could hold the control of the North in his own hands, little Lucy would not be a concern for Mr. Feng at all.

"Sir Lucy, business in the North is very prosperous now. Glass factories, clothing factories, farms, and wineries are all very profitable businesses."

Seeing that the first thing Mr. Feng's staff mentioned was the factories in the north, Lucy smiled gently.

Sure enough, under the current situation, the land itself is no longer important. What is really attractive are these industries that generate gold coins.

Lucy thought back to the coping manual that Lee had left behind, and everything written on it corresponded to reality.

Lucy, who was already confident, became even more confident.

Lucy was so confident that even Grand Duke Feng was influenced by her confidence.

"Grand Duke Feng, everything will be distributed according to the laws of the kingdom. In addition to this castle and my several private properties, Grand Duke Feng can arrange for reliable people to take over."

Lucy easily handed over the most important code in her hand. This was not a negotiation at all, it was clearly giving money to Duke Feng.

"Would you like to reconsider? Since you have managed the territory very well, I can make the decision and reserve some more for you..."

"No need. I am just a woman. What I have is enough to support my life. Too much wealth is just a burden and a disaster. I don't have the power of Lord Feng to deal with foreign wolves~"

Double entendre.

Lucy's words silenced Duke Feng.

In order to snatch the factory and wealth from Lucy, he secretly made a lot of preparations.

What I didn't expect was that Lucy threw out all the most important things without even asking for anything.

For the first time, Mr. Feng had a bad feeling.

It seems that the direction of things is not under my control.

"…In that case, I will accept Count Lucy's kindness."

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Feng still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Mr. Feng can only grit his teeth and wait for Lucy's next move.

If Lucy really has a backup plan.

"It has been happily decided. In order to express our welcome to Lord Feng, the castle will prepare a dinner to welcome Lord Feng."

Lucy tiptoed out of the living room, looking like she had stolen a chicken.

Only Mr. Feng and his staff were left, sitting there looking at each other.

No one could explain it.

"The customs of the people in the north are different from those in the capital. This Earl Lucy is also a strange person."

"Perhaps there are hidden dangers in these factories and businesses. Please be careful in dealing with them, Mr. Feng."

"There's still some time before the dinner. Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"

Several people looked at each other, and saw the maid who had left earlier walked back into the reception room.

"My Lords, the second floor of the Health Club has been cleaned, please move on~"
