The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 457 Definition of Danger

Li kicked aside a man and a woman who were blocking his way and entered the corridor leading deep into the manor.

Dark magic was beating on Li's fingertips, and this magic was guiding Li in the direction to move forward.

The interior area of ​​the manor, a small and more private reception room different from the chaotic hall outside, appeared in front of Li.

Li hesitated for a moment, took out the secret order mask from his arms, and then stepped into it.

Unlike the foolish people outside, the nobles who entered the small room all remained noble and rational.

They are the real top leaders in the aristocratic circle, and they determine the development and direction of this kingdom.

"The ray guns brought by the Northlanders have changed the way of war. Those mud-legged people can pose a threat to us, which has disrupted our original deployment!"

"Those damn cheap weapons make knights and magic training a ridiculous investment. We should unite and ban the manufacture and use of ray guns..."

"It's useless. There are already useful and effective weapons. Just banning it won't work. What we need to do is to take control of this new power!"

Slogans are shouted at large meetings and decisions are made at small meetings. This is what is done at any time and in any organization.

Li's appearance did not stop these people from communicating. They just glanced at the mask on Li's face and continued their discussion.

The only person who looked at Li twice was a member of the secret order who was also wearing a mask.

Including the impostor Li, there are as many as four members of the secret society attending the gathering today.

Li pretended to be cool and sat there without saying a word.

Several other members of the secret society adopted the same attitude.

Most of the nobles who took the initiative to speak out at the scene were powerful nobles in the central part of the kingdom.

They have recently been provoked by the young man Simon and urgently need to do something to change the status quo.

"Simply gathering a bunch of bandits is no longer effective. We need to send out a stronger force to kill all those who oppose us in one fell swoop!"

"Then send out the cavalry. Real cavalry. I believe each family has trained quite a few."

"Those operating the ray guns are similar to archers. Facing the impact of the cavalry, even the archers can't withstand it, not to mention the team composed of mud legs!"

"Then it is decided. Each family will send out a hundred cavalrymen to completely crush the newly rising Simon family!"

After a period of discussion, the nobles made a decision and the matter came to an end.

The decision made by these nobles was very effective, and the organized cavalry would indeed make Simon suffer.

Li did not interfere with the nobles' decision-making. It made no difference to Li whether the winner of this battle was the noble group or the young man Simon.

Lee only cared about what happened after the meeting.

"Now, let's move on to the next step. The trade fair will begin!"

The member of the secret order, who had been silent the whole time, spoke an old voice from behind the mask.

Mr. Li felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Li originally waited to see if these nobles would reveal something about the potions, but it turned out that they were just trading some spell supplies and rare materials.

"I need a piece of lapis lazuli of excellent quality and a master jeweler with superb craftsmanship."

The noble wanted to make an exquisite gift and give it to his fiancé to strengthen the relationship between the two families.

"I need a weapons master to repair the damaged heirloom."

Another noble took out the broken sword heirloomed from his family, hoping to get help from other nobles.

The nobles put forward their demands one by one. Some of their needs were met, while others were left helpless.

The transactions of these people were all very normal, and there was no shady information as Li had expected.

Could it be that I understood it wrong?

Li looked at the Viper standing behind the noble, acting as a servant, and pondered silently in his heart.

Li had been keeping an eye on Viper for a long time. Li knew that Viper was a guy who often did sinister things.

The fact that Viper came here meant that the nature of this gathering was not as simple as it seemed.

But Li didn't notice anything unusual until the party was over.

Given the two options of capturing Viper for interrogation or letting him go and continuing the tracking, Li once again chose the latter.

After the party was over, the idiots in the front hall were still having fun, but the real people of status had already started to leave.

Li did not follow the Viper, but quietly followed the member of the secret order who made him feel familiar.

The elderly member of the secret order rode slowly into the night in a carriage.

A shadow quickly chased from behind, caught up with the carriage, and then slipped into the carriage through the gap in the frame.

The masked man in black robe suddenly opened his eyes the moment the shadow appeared.

The black-robed man formed a dangerous dark vortex in his hand and was about to release it towards the transformed Li.

But he endured it in the end.

Li's body appeared opposite the wizard, looking at the dark vortex in the wizard's hand with a frivolous attitude.

"Can a magician from the Secret Order use dark magic?"

It was the first time for Li to see someone perform dark magic as well as he did.

Li originally wanted to put in some effort to control the dark magician in front of him and extract some useful information from him.

As a result, the dark magician in front of him took the initiative to retract his magic power and raised his hand to take off the mask on his face.

"What a passionate horse! Why is it you, the master of the family!"

The dark wizard who sat opposite Li and took off his mask on his own initiative was actually the old patriarch of the Weize family.

Li still remembers the night when Weize exterminated the clan. The old guy in front of him was wailing in a wheelchair, and he was transformed into a zombie by lightning, lying on the ground and chewing the soles of his shoes.

“…Li, no matter what, I am the current head of the Weize family, you’d better be polite!”

The old man threw the mask at his feet with an unhappy look on his face, and stepped on Li's leather shoes to make them dirty.

The last time Li resurrected the patriarch, he also cured his disabled leg.

Li never cared about the affairs of the Weize family again, and never contacted them in the royal capital.

"Li, why did you come to see me suddenly?"

The old patriarch looked impatient and just wanted to quickly end the conversation with Li, who knew about his dark history.

"It's easy since we're acquaintances. I want to ask you something. Do you know potions? Potions made from vampire blood."

"know."

Li sat up straight instantly. He thought that this inquiry would be in vain again, but he didn't expect to get important clues from the old man.

"Then tell me, who is spreading and using this dangerous stuff!"

The old patriarch was puzzled, not understanding why Li cared about such a small potion.

"This potion is not dangerous. Many magicians use it. Ah, it is indeed fatal to ordinary people, but it can only be blamed on those people who did not understand the situation and used dangerous goods recklessly."

According to the old patriarch, the vampire potion was not that scary at all.

Chemicals like strong acids and alkalis are difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with, but they are used by researchers in daily life and are very normal.

Li didn't expect that after all the trouble he put into tracking down the potion, he would end up with such an explanation.

For a moment, Li's mood was very complicated.
