The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The handmade golf ball was pushed by Cotton onto the green where green grass had just grown.

Cotton swung the club, and the ball circled around the hole and finally rolled away.

“No…”

“…boring.”

Lian doesn't like the sport of golf at all. She really doesn't know what her brother was thinking to buy a piece of land and build a golf course like this.

If you have the spare money to build a stadium, why not clear this land and grow crops?

Even growing grass and grazing is fine.

"Sister, you don't understand this, Brother Li said that when people make a lot of money, they also have to make some useless investments. This is called balance~"

Balance your head!

Lian hates it most when Katon always mentions Li.

A few days ago, Lian and Carton went to Windmill Bay to attend an auction, thinking they would meet Li.

After asking around, I found out that Li had left the North a long time ago.

Where else can we go after leaving the North?

It goes without saying that Li must be in the south.

Lian looked silently in the direction of the royal capital, feeling a little anxious.

"Carton, I don't have time to play with you. I have to go back."

"Sister! Please stay. As long as we cooperate, no one can do anything to us!"

Carton wanted his sister to stay, and he tried his best these days, even giving all the income from his investment to his sister, but unfortunately Lian did not appreciate it.

"Carton, you have to know that our names contain the word Freyr, which means that it is difficult for us to live the life we ​​want."

"Sister, you've seen it too. The kingdom is not peaceful right now. The capital will only get more chaotic!"

"Carton! Our father is still in the capital. You care about my sister, but don't you care about my father?"

Having said that, Carton knew that he couldn't stop his sister from returning to the capital.

Katon had no choice but to take out an earring and hand it to Lian.

"Yo~ My Caton has grown up and knows how to give decorations to girls~"

"…Sister, this is what Brother Li gave me. I'm giving it to you. You have to wear it close to your body."

Lian took the strange earring, which was made of glass and contained a dark red liquid.

“…This can’t be blood, right? He has the nerve to give such a disgusting thing as a gift!”

"Hey! If you don't tell everyone, no one will be able to tell that it is blood. It contains Brother Li's magic. If you are in danger, he will protect you."

Lian curled her lips and didn't take Li's protection seriously at all.

"I am your sister and I am very powerful. If we really need him, it will be useless even if your brother Li jumps out."

"Yes, yes, sister, please go away. You are annoying me to death!"

Lian expressed her disgust, but finally put on the strange earrings.

When she put on the earrings, the black rose on Lian's other ear automatically changed into a landscape style.

The two translucent earrings, with dark red light flowing inside, seem to match the lotus very well.

Lian took out a small mirror and looked at it. It felt pretty good.

huh~

As soon as the whistle was blown, Lian's beloved horse ran out of the stable, along with Lian's personal guards.

"Let's go, brother~"

Compared to the nervousness and worry when she came here, Lian felt very relaxed when she set out on the return journey.

Cotton has grown up and is capable of taking care of himself, which is more reassuring than anything else.

"Miss, didn't you say you were going to replace me? Why am I still the one who goes back?"

The silly girl who followed Lian spoke her true feelings without any scruples and almost made Lian laugh.

When you are in a relaxed mood, it is a happy thing to have such a funny guard by your side.

However, Lian soon stopped laughing.

"Miss, there is someone ahead!"

Lian was not blind. She had seen a group of people standing in the middle of the road early on.

It seems that they are also heading to the royal capital, and the identity of the leader is also very unusual.

When they got closer, Lian recognized the other person, and then she was even more incredulous.

"Uncle Feng! Why are you here?"

Lian thought that someone was going to intercept her halfway, but she didn't expect that the person waiting there was Duke Feng.

Duke Feng took out a northern-style pipe from his pocket, put a pinch of vanilla in it and lit it.

"My guards discovered that there was someone behind us. Lian, are you also going back to the capital to report on your duties?"

"Yes, I came here originally to suppress the development of the Northland, and you saw the result."

Lian and Duke Feng had the same purpose of coming to the North, but neither of them completed the mission, and they were both losers.

Now that the North is seeking independence, it will be difficult to explain to the royal capital.

From a noble perspective, Duke Feng should not have traveled with Lian. If necessary, he should find a way to shift the blame to Lian.

Doing so is the best option for Grand Duke Feng, but after living in the North for more than two months, Grand Duke Feng has many more thoughts in his mind.

"Lian, what do you think the future of the kingdom will be like?"

It was the first time that Grand Duke Feng had a calm conversation with the Freyr family. In the past, people from the two families would always quarrel with each other at the negotiation table.

"The future of the kingdom? I think the future of the kingdom should belong to everyone in the future!"

Mr. Feng chuckled and gave Lian a thumbs up.

"It seems that you have also been greatly influenced by the North."

“…The North is a great place.”

"Yeah, after struggling for so many years, it's only in these two months that I feel like I'm really enjoying life."

Everything in the north is full of life and vigor, but the capital is lifeless.

Comparing the two, everyone knows which choice to make.

"Lian, what do you think? Do you plan to persuade others to learn the system of the North?"

Lian thought silently for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Uncle Feng, I don't think the nobles in the capital are willing to pursue the system of the North."

Duke Feng agreed with Lian's opinion that the nobles in the royal capital were all extremely wealthy and had no motivation to change.

"In that case, I will report this matter to the king."

The Feng family and the Frere family can never stand on the same front.

This has been the tacit understanding between the two families for more than a hundred years.

"But Uncle Feng, if you go back and promote the North, it will bring you trouble!"

"Hey~ girl, are you looking down on me?"

At this point in the conversation, they all knew that nothing could be changed.

Their stance determines the way they deal with things. Many times, as they come from large families, they have few choices.

Duke Feng, his guards and Lian, headed south.

At the same time, many merchants who seized the opportunity rushed north with their carriages and horses.

In this world, everyone's pursuits are different.

Some people are thinking about the future of the kingdom, but most people are just busy making a living.

"Lian, do you know Weize Li?"

"Uncle Feng also knows him?"

"I heard that many reforms in the North were initiated by this young man. I also heard that you and this young man have some ambiguous stories~"

Mr. Feng put away his pipe and took out a storybook from his arms.

Lian just glanced at the cover and her whole face turned red.

"Uncle Feng!"

"Hahaha~ There's nothing wrong with having an interesting childhood, right~"
