The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

When Sir Norton encountered a whirlpool, he chose to retreat while the storm was still brewing. This man really knows how to seize opportunities.

When Lee learned that Norton had sold his fiefdom, he was also surprised by his courage.

"Sell your fiefdom for a good price, then stand aside and watch the fire from the other side..."

Li walked into Norton's castle and followed the dim alley to the room where Mrs. Norton was imprisoned.

The tattered wooden door slowly opened, and the restraint device inside was still there, but the lady who had turned into a vampire had disappeared.

Lee didn't know where Norton took the man, nor did he care.

Li just felt a little sad about the complexity of human nature.

"Norton did not explain where the potion came from, but we have already found out that there are many nobles in the kingdom who have come into contact with potions, just like Madam Norton."

Lucy came in with the investigation report, but the news she brought was extremely bad.

Li has not been able to grasp the undercurrent behind the kingdom until now, which only proves that the darkness behind it is more powerful than Li imagined.

Magic power surged on Li's palms. Li silently felt the flow of magic power and opened his eyes after a while.

"Lucy, I'll have to trouble you with the next thing."

"Yes~"

After Norton moved away, Lucy suddenly became the owner of this land.

All the workers in the territory were confused. They couldn't understand why the owner suddenly changed.

The fact that a noble sold his territory was like a farmer selling his land; it was simply unimaginable.

But this kind of thing really happened. The new lord Lucy planted the flag of the Dalai family high on the castle.

The lords of the surrounding territories all sent visiting cards, wanting to meet the new lord who would replace Norton.

At the same time, these people also want to establish a good relationship with Lucy so that they can buy various new products from the North.

The auction agreed upon by Lucy and the nobles was held as scheduled, and this time the auction was held directly in the castle.

The people of the North had special experience in renovating castles. The attic that Norton had added himself was demolished by Lucy, and the vacant space was used to build a building with a more reasonable structure.

The top floor of the building is Lucy's personal area, and the part below was directly converted into an auction venue.

Even if there is no auction in the future, Lucy can still open the castle and use it as a high-end store.

"Are the walls of Norton's castle this high?"

"The looks of these northern soldiers give me the creeps!"

The nobles gathered together to discuss the changes in Norton's territory.

The originally dilapidated castle became heavy and solid after being reinforced by earth magic.

The nobles who personally entered the castle to visit found that it would cost a huge price to attack it.

Lucy did not hide the power she brought from the North. While the auction was being held, there were still a large number of magicians doing civil engineering work.

The nobles, attracted by the construction, stopped communicating with the people around them until they saw the walls and buildings being erected, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

"Where did the northerners invite so many magicians?"

Magicians hold a high status in the kingdom, and it would be difficult to get them to join the construction industry unless they are offered high salaries.

These nobles were not aware that the magicians wandering before them were all first-term students of the Northern School of Magic.

When a young magician took off his wizard hat to get some fresh air, his red hair, which was different from the people of the kingdom, and his dark skin, all shocked the nobles deeply.

"It's the Highlanders!"

Aren’t the Highlanders living on the cold tundra in the north barbarians who can only wield axes?

When will they be able to use magic?

No one answered the nobles' questions and the auction began soon.

As the main initiator of this auction, Lucy made the new machinery the first item of the auction.

The nobles thought that this item would be put at the end of the auction, but they didn't expect it to be the first one.

The nobles felt caught off guard for the second time.

"A set of equipment, guaranteed to be useful, five thousand gold coins!"

Lucy slammed the auction hammer down hard, shocking the nobles present.

This hammer seemed to hit the hearts of the nobles.

One of the nobles raised his hand tentatively.

"I'll give you five thousand..."

"make a deal!"

The largest item was sold just like that, and the entire auction hall fell into silence.

Isn't this an auction? Isn't it a round-by-round bidding? Why did the hammer strike all of a sudden?

Amidst the confusion of everyone present, the noble who had made the bid was taken away to sign the agreement. He looked as if he had been captured and forcibly taken to a dungeon.

"Let us welcome the second lot of today! The magic ray gun!"

When the second lot came on the market, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

The auction held by Lucy actually directly sold weapons produced in the North. Is this really okay?

Of course there is no problem, because the kingdom often holds such transactions, and the focus of the nobles' transactions is high-quality armor and weapons.

A good piece of equipment can be regarded as an heirloom and is the most important asset of a noble.

"These ray guns can fire elementary magic. They only require a skilled militiaman to use. The starting price is fifty per group. Adults who need them, please raise your signs quickly~"

The nobles looked at each other, and no one made a bid at the first time.

However, when Lucy called a local farmer, who spoke with a stammer, and broke an oak shield with a few shots, the nobles all shouted.

"I want five hundred!"

"Five thousand, give me five thousand!"

In a world without the unit of ten thousand, nobles shouting for thousands and thousands compete fiercely with each other.

Lucy smiled businesslike and took note of the people holding up signs one by one.

This auction was quite successful, with the transaction volume of ray guns reaching tens of thousands.

Unfortunately, the profits made from the ray gun were not as great as those from the original machine.

After dealing with those nobles, Lucy found Li with a helpless look on her face.

Li sat in the castle drinking tea and humming a little tune, looking very leisurely.

"The ray guns are selling well, but do we really want to give such powerful weapons to the nobles?"

Lucy was a little worried that once the nobles got the ray guns, they would pose a threat to the North.

Li did not dwell on this matter, because the profession of aristocracy laid the foundation for their bad qualities.

The people of the North are not the biggest threat in the eyes of the nobles, but the other nobles who own territories are!

When the nobles suddenly gained overwhelming military power, they would naturally direct their spearheads at the people who were easiest to deal with.

"Tell the engineers to hurry up and build the wall. This area will soon become a mess."

"Yes."

Lucy did not leave after receiving the order. She snatched the cup used by Li Gang and slowly poured herself tea.

Li felt that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong. Lucy tasted the cup bit by bit and looked at him as if she wanted to eat him.

Li stood up and prepared to leave, but Lucy stopped him rudely.

"Li, I finally got to work with you, and this is how you treat me."

"Lucy, what do you want?"

"Hehehe~ You know exactly what I want, don't you~"

Lucy, like an old rogue, gently lifted Li's chin.
