The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 411 Under the Rules

After learning from Viper about the ugly things Fox had done behind people's backs, Lee watched Viper slowly walk away.

Theresa was a little anxious. She didn't understand why Li let the venomous snake go.

"Lee, we should arrest him!"

Li glanced at Theresa, who looked very righteous, and sighed helplessly.

"Theresa, Viper didn't do anything too extreme. There's no reason for us to arrest him."

Of course, Li would not let the venomous snake go.

Whether it was the experience in the dream world or seeing the poisonous snake again, the impression it left on Li told Li that poisonous snakes are not good things.

Li silently sensed the curse he had placed on the venomous snake. After confirming that the curse was effective, Li turned to Baron Fox's residence.

Baron Fox actually traded potions in secret and even killed someone to keep it secret.

"The potion he bought must not be good!"

Potions for healing injuries, including holy water from the temple, can generally be called potions.

However, the magic potions that the public knows about are more often alchemical potions.

Alchemy inherited from ancient wizards often produces some strange things. Before seeing the potion with his own eyes, Lee didn't know what the potion that Fox bought did.

"Come on, Xiaoli, let's go meet Baron Fox!"

Li, who has already obtained important clues, does not intend to delay on this matter for too long.

Whether it is to save Theresa's reputation or to maintain peace in the North, Li has reason to sanction Baron Fox.

There was a knock on the door and the housekeeper opened it enthusiastically. Seeing Li and Theresa standing side by side at the door, the housekeeper quickly invited them into the room.

Li saw some of the items bought by the housekeeper on the table, including decorative tablecloths and chair covers, which made the living room look very atmospheric.

The Fox family is full of a refined atmosphere of life. Li is a little helpless and can't understand why the other party does bad things behind his back.

"Mr. Li! I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I thought a young man as busy as you would never have the chance to come to my house again~"

"Mr. Fox, I am visiting you today on official business."

Li frowned and did not look kindly at Baron Fox.

Fox was stunned, pulled up a chair and sat in front of Li.

Fox's fat face showed a coldness that Li had never seen before, as if he would kill someone in the next moment.

Faintly, Mrs. Fox's cough was heard from upstairs. Fox was startled, but his face quickly returned to normal.

Both Lee and Theresa noticed Fox's emotional change. They looked at each other and decided that Lee would lead the conversation.

"Mr. Fox, your wife doesn't seem well."

"…It's an old problem. It will be relieved by more rest."

Fox showed an attitude of sending him away, but Li pretended not to hear it.

Li used magic to sense the mice hiding in the house and confirmed that his animal reconnaissance was not discovered by Fox.

"Ahem~ Let's stop here for the simple greetings. Baron Fox, can you explain clearly how you imprisoned a wanderer and caused his death?"

“…You said I killed someone? Do you have any evidence?”

"Someone witnessed your actions and the witness is currently under witness protection."

Lee fabricated a false witness and claimed that he was under protection.

Fox just frowned slightly and wasn't too worried.

"I never remember coming into contact with any homeless people. I guess you guys are mistaken."

Fox was in no mood to play boring detective games with Lee, so he stood up to make his attitude clear.

"Mr. Li, I thought you were young and promising, so I wanted to make friends with you. I thought we would have something in common, but you treated me like a criminal!"

Fox turned around and was about to go upstairs, but saw Li pull out a badge from his pocket.

The badge that Li held was the badge of the Northern Security Team.

A security agency formed by the cooperation of the City Hall and the militia, it is currently responsible for public security cases in the North.

Li showed the badge, which meant that the matter had to be handled openly and fairly, and Baron Fox could not help but unilaterally refuse.

"This is ridiculous! Why should I pay for something I didn't do?"

"Because I'm sure you've done these evil things!"

Li handed the badge to his left hand, and a dark shadow gathered on the palm of his right hand.

"Baron Fox, you should not have forgotten what kind of power I possess!"

Li is a necromancer, and this information is no longer a secret among the nobles.

Seeing Li using his identity as a necromancer to scare people, Fox was so angry that he laughed.

"The necromancers are from the evil camp, the enemy of all light and justice. You are holding a badge representing the North. Are you sure this isn't irony?"

"Baron Fox! Before you mock me, please confess your crimes!"

As soon as Li finished speaking, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

The person leading the team was Lian. She held up the badge of the security team in one hand and thrust it directly into Fox's face.

"Baron Fox, you have violated the laws of the North. You have been arrested!"

The soldier next to Lian took Baron Fox away without saying a word. Seeing this, everyone else in the house wanted to stop him.

Fox didn't want to see his family come into conflict with the soldiers, so he shouted out instructions.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!"

Lian waved his hand handsomely and took Baron Fox away.

Li was the last one to leave Fox's house. Before leaving, Li looked back. The lingering sense of disharmony always lingered in Li's heart.

Mr. Li felt that he had overlooked something.

Theresa, who was standing outside the door waiting for Li, noticed that something was wrong with Li and quickly asked him.

"Lee, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that Fox's attitude doesn't seem to be what a person who made a mistake should have..."

Li was wondering, could it be that it wasn't Fox who bought the potion, or could it be that the potion Fox bought was not the reason for him to kill?

The more Li thought about it, the more headache he had. The whole thing was like a tangled mess and he couldn't make sense of it.

"Li, this is not your fault. It's all because of that Fox being too cunning. None of those nobles are good!"

Theresa still maintains her prejudice against the nobles, but Li just wants to find out the truth.

In fact, Li could easily get the desired result by using the power of the necromancer, but in the North, Li did not want to do that.

The North had worked so hard to build a perfect system. If Li easily destroyed the balance just for his own convenience, others would eventually follow suit.

Li didn't want the North to become a mess again. If that really happened, the king and his people would be so happy.

"Let's go, Theresa, I think we are not far from the truth!"

No matter what role Fox played in this case, he is now detained as a criminal. If you want to find out the cause and effect, you just need to be patient.
