The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The king said he could kill Lee easily.

Li told the king that even if you kill me, the game will not end.

If one Li falls, thousands and millions of Li will stand up. The more the kingdom wants to suppress the North, the stronger and more difficult it will be to deal with the North.

The image of Li using magic to make the chess pieces move together lingered in the old king's mind.

The king smashed the chess box at hand onto the chessboard, knocking all the chess pieces to the ground.

"No, it's not like what you said. Only a madman would risk his life for something he can never get!"

Having controlled the kingdom for so many years, the old king knew very well how fragile the so-called rebels were.

They are not as tough and tenacious as Li described.

What's the point of one person falling down, and thousands and millions of others standing up? Do you really think that reality is a game on the table, where you can achieve your strategies and goals just by moving your fingers?

"Your Majesty, you should know that the forces in the North are very different from the previous rebels."

Facing the furious king, Li did not back down at all.

Anyway, Li just said that after his death, the North will still not allow itself to be manipulated.

Even if the king was angry, he couldn't do anything to Li.

"Different? What's the difference? You are just a bunch of idiots who know nothing!"

What made the king most angry was that he had shown Lee in advance that the kingdom's most powerful forces were on the coastal front against the demons.

Otherwise, just because the North is so erratic, the king would have destroyed it a thousand or ten thousand times!

"No, no, no~ A bunch of idiots will not make the North more prosperous than the capital."

Seeing Li shaking his finger and saying NO, the king finally realized the point of Li's words.

Ordinary rebels are like locusts, eating wherever they go, causing destruction along the way without any construction.

This is not the case in the North.

From the very beginning, the North has been developing agriculture, industry and commerce. The North is a truly well-rooted rebel group.

"So what? Even if you run the business for another hundred years, you still can't match the kingdom's accumulation!"

Lee nodded, confirming the king's words.

"That's true. No matter how hard the North tries, it can't match the size of the Kingdom. But Your Majesty, as the King, how many resources can you mobilize?"

Li's counter-question confused the king.

After all, the king was limited by the backwardness of the times and did not think deeply about many issues.

The king did not have any particularly decent advisers who were willing to give him advice.

The tens of millions of years of struggle history of the earth that Li brought up would be enough for the old king to ponder for a long time just by taking out a little bit of it.

"Your Majesty, we have been talking for so long and even played a game of chess. Can you please ask someone to bring some food over?"

When Li said he was hungry, the king realized that a long time had passed.

The old man has a slow stomach and it is difficult for him to experience the feeling of being so hungry that he could eat a cow when he was young.

The king reached for the bell beside his seat and shook it twice with his wrist.

The side door of the palace opened and an attendant walked in.

"Food...for two."

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for the servants to bring the food.

Today's king's dinner is toasted flatbread covered with minced meat, which tastes weird.

Such meals should have been prepared with the king's teeth in mind. The dough was half-baked, sticky and mixed with seasoned minced meat.

It’s not bad, but it’s not delicious either.

"Hey!"

Li snapped his fingers, then reached out and grabbed the king's bell and shook it hard twice.

The servant came in with a puzzled look on his face. Could it be that the king had finished eating so quickly?

The servant thought the king was asking him to clear the plates, but he saw Li waving his hands desperately.

The attendant had no choice but to greet Li.

"What do you need?"

"Find someone to go to Fortune Catering and borrow a set of pots and pans from there!"

"you want?"

"This is awful, I want to make something better."

When the king heard Li say that the cake tasted bad, he put down the cake in his hand.

He was actually fed up with the food provided by the chef, but he also asked the chef, who said that there was only so much soft food available.

The chefs in the palace had limited abilities and were unable to prepare a variety of foods for the king to enjoy.

The king wanted to change the cook, but this cook had been used for many years.

The king cares more about his own safety than his appetite.

You can just bear with the talk, but your life is your own, and the king cannot ignore it.

"Don't think I don't know! You want to do something with the food!"

The king waved his hand to stop the attendants and asked them to retreat.

Li was helpless. His trick was exposed, but what could he do?

"Wait a minute, I'll write a recipe and ask the kitchen to make a pot of fish soup!"

All the kitchen utensils and food ingredients are from the palace. Li doesn't handle them, so I can rest assured this time.

The king nodded, and the attendant withdrew with the recipe written by Li.

After all this commotion, Li was so hungry that he didn't want to eat much.

Seeing the old king squinting his eyes, Li realized that the king had run out of energy and was falling into the sluggishness unique to the elderly.

Should I run away at this time?

This stupid idea just flashed through Li's mind for a moment before he rejected it.

Li remembered that there was a professional chess player on Earth who defeated an older master by relying on the tactic of staying up all night.

Lee decided to follow suit!

Li slapped his hands hard in front of the king, and the sound of the slap woke the old king up.

The king sat up in confusion, and saw Li Jianjian smiling at him.

Li Hao wanted to shout, "Old Deng, wake up and have fun!"

Unfortunately, Li was afraid of overstimulating the king, so he directly beat the king.

Of course, Li was also afraid that the king would be angry and send him directly to the kingdom of God.

"Ahem~ Your Majesty, the fish soup hasn't been served yet. It's too early to go to bed now."

Li pointed to the chessboard, indicating that he wanted to play another big game with the king.

Seeing Li take the initiative to ask to play chess, the king immediately became excited.

Since he was too old to exercise, the king often stayed alone in the palace.

There were not many government affairs to be handled in this era, and the king spent most of his time in solitude.

Now that Li has been captured today, the king finally has someone to speak to.

The two are enemies in their own ways, and they are also of different ages...

Talk to friends!

"If we have something in common to talk about, we can call each other chat friends. There's nothing wrong with chatting and making friends~"

"Oh~ This is the first time I've heard of this concept. You can stir up trouble in the North, you really have some real skills!"

When the two played the first game of chess, they were still in a tit-for-tat state.

But after Li took the initiative to play the second game, the king's attitude became much gentler.

The king has met many young people. The biggest characteristic of young people is that they do things one-sidedly and do not know the limits.

However, Li had the flexibility and cunning that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life, which made the king feel that he had met an opponent.

"The start this time seems a little different?"
