The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 512 The secret in the safe

Simon took the initiative to find Norton and repair their broken relationship.

Norton broke up with Simon at that time because Simon was too annoying. Now that Simon took the initiative to offer a way out, Norton could no longer be aggressive.

Norton acted as a go-between and introduced Simon to Jacob and Amber.

"Mr. Jacob, and Ms. Elizabeth! I have heard of your great names for a long time. Jacob alone supports the Northland's business network, and Ms. Elizabeth is the cornerstone of the Northland's magic technology. It is my honor to work with you two!"

Simon performed a knight's salute to Jacob, and when facing Amber, he gracefully took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

Norton stood nearby, smiling politely and helping to maintain the atmosphere of communication.

Norton watched Simon introduce himself, watched him communicate enthusiastically with new friends, and watched him quickly integrate into the team...

I always feel like something is wrong!

But he couldn't say it.

"So, what task did the great Mr. Li give us?"

Several people heard sarcasm towards Li in Simon's tone, but Simon himself had conflicts with Li, so it was normal for him to be awkward in his words.

Norton pulled his attention away from his suspicion of Simon and noticed that the blueprint of the giant ship that had been spread out on the table had been collected by Amber.

Amber held the rolled-up giant ship design in her hands and had no intention of opening it to show Simon.

"We have just discussed the distribution of our respective tasks. Simon, you only need to do Norton's part."

Amber simply arranged Simon's tasks, which made Simon a little dissatisfied.

However, Simon did not refute, but turned around and communicated with Norton.

"Norton, now that the task has been assigned, let's complete it with all our heart!"

Seeing Simon's uncharacteristic behavior, that strange feeling came over Norton again.

"…Simon, are you really okay?"

Simon glanced at Norton, a look that was meaningful.

"Norton, of course I have no problem. If we work together, there is no problem that we cannot solve, don't you think~"

It was a hot day and Norton was so frightened that he trembled. Now he was sure that Simon was definitely possessed by something.

Norton really wanted to point out Simon's abnormality, but Simon was right in front of him. Norton was afraid that if he pointed out the problem, Simon would take his life the next moment.

After all, Norton was too distant from Lee. Even though he knew that Lee had the ability to resurrect, he did not dare to bet that Lee would resurrect him.

Norton only has one life to live, and he decided that as long as Simon's target was not him, he would pretend that he had noticed nothing.

"…Lee, there's something wrong with that Simon."

High up in the castle, Amber looked out the window at Simon and Norton leaving, and silently dialed Li's number.

After a burst of noise, Li answered the call and responded to Amber's call.

"Simon, be careful, he could be dangerous."

After the call was disconnected, Amber looked out the window, her mind filled with thoughts.

...

"The redwood that grows in Zephyr Ridge is very suitable for shipbuilding, but this kind of wood is too expensive and difficult to transport!"

"To build a 200-meter dragon bone, a considerable amount of refined gold and mithril is needed, which is a bit beyond our current financial capabilities."

When the project is drawn up on paper, there are not many problems. But when it is actually implemented, you will find that every step is difficult.

"Li didn't set a time limit. We can take our time, but the most important tin and lead must be obtained as soon as possible!"

The blueprints of the giant warship clearly marked the composition and structure of the floating system, and the magic runes scattered throughout the hull of the warship were the key to whether the warship could float.

If you want to engrave a huge number of magic runes, the most basic soft metal material is naturally indispensable.

It was the first time that Simon saw the battleship drawings. Before that, he only knew roughly that Li wanted to build a battleship that could cross the sea.

If you want to cross the strait to the southern continent, a sturdy warship is essential.

Li Hui arranged for people to build warships, and the purpose was naturally self-evident.

Simon saw through Lee's goal, but had not seen Lee's super transportation plan.

When Amber held a project meeting and called Simon along, Simon realized for the first time how terrible Li's idea was.

"A battleship that can fly in the air!"

If Li really built this battleship, the geographical factors of the strait and the demons in the middle would be ignored by the floating battleship.

If you think about it more carefully, what would happen if Li drove the battleship to attack the ground directly...

Li must not be allowed to create such a thing!

In addition, Simon also wants to seize this blueprint. If he can possess this rare thing, his lifelong dream can be realized at the speed of light!

After the project meeting, Amber put away the giant ship blueprint, nodded to the other three, and returned to her room.

In addition to everyday furniture, Amber's room also has a sturdy safe.

Interestingly, the builder of this safe was Norton. When he was still a lord, he put a lot of effort into these areas in order to keep an eye on important properties.

The safe's shell is made of a lot of precious materials, and the safe's anchor point is buried in the castle's architectural structure. It is basically impossible to destroy or remove it.

Amber opened the safe and put the folded drawings inside.

After closing the door of the safe, Amber cast a spell with both hands, reinforcing the surface of the safe with a layer of earth magic.

After confirming that the drawings were safe, Amber relaxed herself and went to the cafeteria to enjoy dinner with everyone.

Amber spends every day like this, with a very rhythmic pattern, and it is easy for people to figure out the pattern.

squeak~

The door of Amber's room was gently pushed open, and a pair of feet in leather shoes stepped onto Amber's favorite carpet.

The moment he touched the carpet, Simon realized that his action was not good, but it was too late to remedy it.

Leather shoes easily left difficult-to-remove marks on the carpet, so Simon simply stopped being shy and strode towards the safe in the corner of the room.

The safe was wrapped in layers of amber earth magic, looking like a piece of raw granite.

Simon tapped the surface of the stone with his hand, and the feedback made Simon frown.

"As expected of a great magician, the hardness of this rock protection is comparable to the shell of a sea beast!"

A metaphor that was not suitable for inland people popped out of Simon's mouth, and the next moment, a black snake crawled out of Simon's mouth and shook its tail at the safe in front of it.

A faint magical halo spread out, and the rock protection on top of the safe seemed to melt, revealing a hole that the snake could crawl into.

The black snake crawled into the hole, flattened its body, and crawled into the gap of the safe like a mollusk.

Da da da~

There were footsteps in the corridor outside the door. Amber pushed open the door and found that there was nothing in the room.

The safe was intact and the room was quiet. Amber checked the room and then left with peace of mind.

In the shadow behind the door, Simon, who had been holding his breath, confirmed that Amber had really gone far away, then squatted down and cleaned the stain on the carpet.

Simon couldn't completely restore the carpet, but he could make Amber believe that the stains were naturally occurring.

After doing all this, Simon opened the door, made sure that there was no one in the corridor, and then slipped out.
