The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 366 I don’t even want to act anymore

Lee and Leon stood on the periphery, silently watching Edward deal with the chaotic scene.

Edward was seen carrying the young knight and walking towards them step by step.

"…I'm sorry for causing trouble for the Kingdom Army. I'm going to take this child away. I'll personally ask who asked him to do this. I'll talk to you later."

Leon originally wanted to stop Edward from taking the man away, as the young knight in the other party's hands might know the inside story of the temple.

But Lee poked Leon in the back and gave him a look that showed he turned a blind eye.

Leon weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to let Edward owe him a favor.

“…Thank you.”

Edward took the son of his old friend away, and their backs looked so desolate as they left.

Li didn't want to see the tragic scene of the hero. He just hoped that Edward was still the Edward who could resist and fight.

"Alright, Prince, now it's your turn to finish it~"

"…Then please come with me, Mr. Li~"

Leon no longer paid attention to the two people who were walking away. He turned around and called the kingdom army to enter the depression to clean up the mess.

There were several groups of people mixed inside the depression, including panicked merchants, assassins arranged by Li, and the remaining fake knights.

The Wang Guojun did not have time to carefully distinguish their identities, so they gathered together anyone they came across who was intact.

"Pay special attention to those who died and were burned, and bring them all over here!"

In this chaos, the largest number of casualties were innocent businessmen.

After Li healed Emma, ​​Lilith and the others, he used all his remaining magic power on these people.

An unlucky guy who was shot to death by an arrow slowly opened his eyes under Li's resurrection magic.

The moment the businessman opened his eyes, he let out a horrified scream.

He still remembered the scene of his death, a flying arrow piercing straight into his head!

The businessman raised his hands and waved them around as if he was drowning, and then he was hit by a big dick for no apparent reason.

“…Who are you! Why are you hitting me?!”

"Are you awake? If you are, go over there!"

The businessman followed Li's instructions and slowly moved to the open space next to him. Many businessmen had already gathered here, and their eyes were filled with confusion.

"What happened?"

Many people were repeating this sentence. When they fell down, the battle was still going on at the scene. How come when they woke up, they saw the Kingdom Army cleaning up the mess?

"Alright everyone, look up to me~"

Jacob has a certain status among the businessmen. At least most of the businessmen present know him.

"I know you just woke up from a coma and your minds are still confused. I accept the order of our prince and am responsible for calming you down. I hope everyone can stay calm. The danger is over!"

Jacob's shouting worked. The merchants were no longer confused and all crowded in front of Jacob, wanting to know what happened after they fell.

Jacob took out a note from his sleeve, looked at it and memorized the contents, then put the note away.

"Ahem~ It's like this. The enemy that besieged us before was a powerful gang of thieves nearby. They stole from a warehouse that specialized in making armor for the Templar Knights, took out the items inside, and then disguised themselves as Templar Knights and acted recklessly!"

After Jacob mechanically recited these words, the scene suddenly became noisy.

"Who are you kidding! How could a bandit dare to steal the armor of the Templar and disguise himself as a Templar Knight?"

"The holy light they condensed is not fake!"

The businessmen all denied Jacob's nonsense. Jacob was obviously confusing right and wrong!

Despite being accused by so many people, Jacob did not feel guilty at all.

He just pointed into the distance, and everyone saw Prince Leon standing under the royal flag.

"If you have any doubts about what I said, you can go over there and ask His Royal Highness the Prince for confirmation!"

So many eyes were cast towards Leon, and Leon felt it in his heart and waved to the gathered merchants.

The businessmen responded quickly, nodding and bowing, showing their servile image to the fullest.

"Now, do you still have any questions~"

The businessmen shook their heads helplessly.

Even if there are still questions in mind, who dares to raise them?

They were not afraid of Prince Leon, but they were afraid of the soldiers coming and going around the prince.

If you really anger the royal family and get killed here, there will be no room for reason.

"Since you have no questions, let's speak with one voice. From today on, no matter who asks about the conflict in the depression, you just need to answer that it was the Kingdom Army that was suppressing the bandits, and you merchants were just unlucky enough to be dragged into it! Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"louder please!"

"I understand!"

The merchants were afraid of being targeted, so they all echoed Jacob. The shouting here was deafening and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Jacob's face flushed red, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

For many years, Jacob has been pursuing the feeling of being superior. Today's opportunity allowed Jacob to fully experience the taste of power!

However, Jacob was a little dissatisfied because he acted according to the note in his sleeve.

How Jacob hoped that one day these people would be able to act according to their own will and be controlled by him at will!

At this moment, businessman Jacob's ambition began to expand rapidly.

“…Mr. Jacob! What’s going on over there?!”

Jacob was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention when he heard a young businessman pointing in the distance and making a trembling voice.

Jacob looked over in confusion and saw Li Zheng turning a person's head with his hands, while his eyes were searching for the headless corpse on the ground.

The next moment, Li found the corresponding corpse. After pressing the head on it, the person who was already dead suddenly stood up.

The merchant who woke up screamed in fear, and was then beaten up by Li.

The businessman walked towards the crowd in a daze and greeted other businessmen who had woken up earlier.

"Am I injured? Does anyone know what happened after I fell unconscious?"

What a familiar question! It is a common portrayal of businessmen!

The businessmen who woke up first all took a step back, their mouths wide open in surprise, and many of them had their jaws dislocated.

“That, that, that!”

Jacob immediately covered the mouth of the person closest to him.

"That's a priest in the palace who is treating the seriously injured. You should thank him, don't you understand?"

Treat the seriously injured?

Is a broken head considered a serious injury?

Is this not even an act?

The businessmen have a thousand things they want to complain about, but no one dares to speak them out loud.

Seeing that the deterrence worked, Jacob quickly followed the instructions on the note to further strengthen the impression.

"Ahem~ Now, can one of you repeat to me what you just said? What exactly happened in the depression today?"

"…Bandits attacked the caravan, and the royal guards wiped out the thieves!"

The merchants answered in unison, and Jacob felt very happy.
