The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The merchant Jacob drove his carriage through street after street.

Crown Street, Queen Avenue, Goddess Street…

"Here we are, Mr. Jacob, at 16 Dove Street."

"Thank you for your directions. Please wait for me here for a while. I'm going to visit the owner here, and then I'll return to the Chamber of Commerce."

The hired coachman nodded seriously, then pulled the carriage to an open space on the street and waited quietly.

Jacob turned around, adjusted his felt hat, and then knocked on the door in front of him.

A little maid ran over to open the door, and seeing that Jacob was a stranger, she shouted loudly into the house.

"Sister Xiaoli! Someone is visiting!"

Then, a large maid named Xiaoli appeared and invited Jacob to the living room for entertainment.

"Hello, maid, I'm here to see your master. Someone asked me to bring a letter from home."

Xiaoli nodded, and instead of running to call the young master, she sat down directly in front of Jacob.

"My young master is not here. I can take charge of his affairs. Give me the letter you brought."

Jacob came to the capital to look for Lee, with several important letters in his arms.

He asked the person who was carrying the letter to make sure it was delivered to Weize Li.

"Excuse me, the letter in my hand is very important. I must meet Mr. Li in person before..."

"You don't have to explain. I know where the letter came from. Governor Rose, Master Carton, and others, right?"

Jacob was stunned, thinking that the maid in front of him knew a lot, but he had important responsibilities, and Jacob really didn't dare to relax.

Seeing Jacob being so cautious, Xiaoli knew that he was a cautious person.

"Mr. Jacob, I know you are worried about trouble, but I know your identity and your purpose very well."

Xiaoli dipped her finger in water and wrote the three words "Brotherhood" on the coffee table.

Jacob's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this, and then he showed a warm and friendly smile.

"Since the maid knows the situation, I will give you the letter. However, I still want to ask why Mr. Li is not here?"

Jacob took out the secret letter from the Brotherhood and asked carefully.

The Brotherhood wants to expand its power in the royal capital, and Li, the originator of the Brotherhood structure, is naturally the strongest fulcrum.

Jacob, a new member of the fraternity, really wants to get in touch with Lee.

Xiaoli opened the letter that Jacob brought without any hesitation, and explained the contents to Jacob while reading them.

"The young master said that the changes of the times are the result of the joint efforts of everyone. No matter how much he personally participates, the role he plays will be very limited. Compared with innovation, the young master wants to find out the extraordinary power hidden behind the kingdom. This is the real threat."

Xiaoli said a lot of things that Jacob couldn't understand.

To sum up, Li was doing something else and he was not at home.

Compared with Xiaoli's casualness, Jacob felt a little uneasy.

He waited for Xiaoli to read the letter and make better arrangements for him.

"Sister Xiaoli, this auntie is so long-winded. She wrote on three or four pages all about eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

Xiaoli hit the troublesome Emma hard. After spending some time together, Xiaoli had mastered the strength to teach the naughty child a lesson.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a letter from the mistress, it is full of love for the young master and me~"

Emma smacked her lips and cursed silently.

Sister Xiaoli is so narcissistic. The mistress writing a letter to the young master has nothing to do with you, a maid.

Emma, ​​who was bored from reading the letter, turned around and walked around to Jacob.

"Hey, I heard you formed an organization called the Brotherhood. Do you still call each other comrades?"

Jacob didn't know Emma's identity, so when he heard her ask this, he could only nod as an answer.

Emma's little mouth couldn't stop for a moment.

"That's great. I also set up an assassin organization with my friends. We wrote a creed for ourselves, which is to walk in the darkness and tear open the dawn with a dagger. Unfortunately, Sister Xiaoli doesn't understand style at all~"

Emma pretended to be an adult and sighed artificially, but Xiaoli kicked her mercilessly in return.

Emma, ​​who had been kicked in the quilt, shrank into the corner and remained silent.

"Mr. Jacob, you don't have to pay attention to this damn kid. I have read the letter you brought, and I will provide you with the support I should provide. But are you sure that this letter from the Frere family was sent by Master Carton?"

Jacob quickly stood up and answered Xiaoli with a respectful attitude.

"This letter was handed to me personally by the head maid of the Freyr family. I can guarantee that it has never been opened!"

Jacob had not read the contents of the letter, but he could guarantee that nothing had gone wrong with the letter in his hands.

Xiaoli affirmed Jacob's rigor and directly added a bag of gold coins to Jacob's investment.

"I don't doubt the authenticity of the letter, but the content of the letter makes me worried..."

Xiaoli held the letter that Carton wrote to Li. The letter said that Carton's sister Lian was forced to return to the royal capital due to job pressure.

In the letter, Carton called his sister Brother Li all the time and asked him to take care of his sister.

The letter said that Lian exercised regularly and was a pretty beauty.

Xiaoli didn't care much about this. Young Master Li was not someone who would be tempted by beauty.

Xiaoli is worried about the situation in the royal capital.

After living with Li in the royal capital for a while, Xiaoli knew very well how complicated and chaotic the city was.

Now, Carton wants to entrust Lian to the young master's care. Does the young master really have the energy to help?

What's more, Lian is no small figure in the aristocratic class, and helping her will itself bring endless troubles.

Jacob didn't know what the maid in front of him was worried about. Given Xiaoli's status, it was not the maid's turn to worry about the master's affairs.

Jacob felt that Xiaoli, the maid, had crossed the line between master and servant, which in turn reflected the unreliability of the master, Li.

Jacob previously believed that Li must be a scheming person since he could stir up trouble in the North.

After meeting Xiaoli today, Jacob changed his opinion of Li.

"Well, Miss Maid, my mission is complete. If your master has anything else to do, please come to Jacob's Chamber of Commerce to find me."

Jacob dropped a business card and left.

Jacob returned to the street and stood there for a long time. After suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, he waved to the carriage waiting on the street.

The driver immediately moved the carriage and stopped it steadily in front of Jacob.

"Mr. Jacob, you don't look happy?"

"Yeah, it was quite different from what I expected. I didn't even get to meet the owner of this place."

"Mr. Jacob, big people are always busy. Maybe you can meet the person you want to meet next time."

"hope so."

After a brief exchange with the driver, Jacob got on the carriage and left.

Listening to the sound of the wheels rolling on the stone roadbed, Jacob made a decision in his mind.

No matter what happens in the future, I will come here less often.

"You are the only person you can rely on..."
