The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 115: The Palace under Martial Law

Leon opened his mouth wide and tried to swallow the whole fish head. He looked extremely funny, but Li was in a bad mood.

At first he really didn't like Leon, a prince trapped in the center of power, a spoiled child with no one to teach him.

But during the time when he and Leon were hiding from the assassins, Li found that Leon was still very malleable.

I thought that if I could plant the right ideas in Leon's mind and find opportunities to encourage him in the future, Leon would grow into an excellent heir to the kingdom, which would be a very good thing for the future development of the kingdom.

But today, Leon actually lost his memory of contact with Lee.

Those precious memories are gone, someone must have done it on purpose!

Li felt that someone was targeting him!

Leon might have been implicated by Lee, which is why he lost the memory of those contacts.

Li felt that he had a great responsibility.

In order to find out Leon's situation, Li and George sneaked into Leon's bedroom at night.

For three consecutive days, Li carefully examined every part of Leon's body inside and out.

"That shouldn't be the case. The prince is very normal. He can eat, sleep, and..."

If the memory is forcibly taken away, the brain will definitely be damaged. Even if it is treated with special methods, traces of magic will definitely be left behind.

Could it be that my own undead witchcraft skills have not been practiced well enough?

Or did the enemy use something beyond the magic and medicine system?

The original plan of winning easily turned into a long battle because no problem could be found in Leon.

Li had a bad feeling as if he had been slapped in the face.

Fortunately, George did not blame Li, and Leon did not become suspicious for the time being, so Li still had a chance to continue to solve the problem.

Lee completely integrated himself into the prince's small kitchen and became one of the chefs.

Li soon received an important task.

"Prince Leon is going to host a banquet for his fiancée?"

Li hesitated for a moment before realizing that Leon's current fiancée was an acquaintance of his.

Lian is coming to the palace, and Li feels the need to cook a big meal.

"Are you still trying to eat the fish? I really can't eat that!"

When it came to discussing the main course for the banquet, everyone in the kitchen was the first to jump up.

The fish cooked by Li is absolutely delicious, but the fish is too big!

After the prince tasted and praised Li's cooking skills, the remaining fish were given as a reward to everyone in the kitchen.

At the beginning, everyone was excited about being able to eat top-quality ingredients and cook with top-notch cooking skills. Many kitchen helpers were so full that they could not walk.

However, no matter how delicious the food is, I just heat it up and eat it three times a day...

Two days later, the chefs would subconsciously gag when they smelled fishy odor when they entered the kitchen.

The chef also complained to Li that he went home and kissed his wife, but ended up vomiting all over her.

"Relax, we're going to stew venison this time."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing what Li said.

Venison stew is a common dish at large banquets, and each chef has a different way of cooking it.

“It’s a great menu that really showcases the cooking skills!”

After seeing the banquet menu prepared by Li, the chef happily started preparing with a group of people.

Taking advantage of the preparation time, Li came to the open space outside, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and silently thought about how to solve Leon's problem.

"Lian will be here soon. Lilith should have helped her solve the problem..."

There was no progress on Lee's side, but Lilith had already helped Lian gain freedom.

Although Li was not clear about what happened over there, it was a certain fact that he was lagging behind.

"Tsk~ I can already sense the girls' ridicule towards me."

In previous incidents, Li always made plans in advance and solved the problems cleanly and efficiently.

But this time, Li Lian couldn't find the cause of the problem.

Li has been maintaining his demeanor as a master. If they saw him in a state of confusion, Li's image would be greatly damaged.

"It seems that some radical measures must be used..."

Just as Li was sorting out his thoughts, he saw that the soldiers inside the palace suddenly became chaotic.

Several soldiers with serious faces came up to Li and forced him back into the building without any explanation.

Important places were under martial law by soldiers, and soldiers came and went to establish defense lines.

Li and other confused chefs gathered together and watched the excitement outside.

"What happened in the palace?"

"From the looks of it, the assassin must have been found somewhere."

The chef had worked in the palace for many years and had a rough idea of ​​the current situation.

"Assassin? What kind of assassin dares to come to the palace to assassinate? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Oh, who can say for sure about such things? Two years ago, an ignorant servant picked up a package and brought it into the palace. It turned out to be an alchemical bomb, which destroyed a stable."

"Soldiers can defend against dangerous assassins, but not against simple idiots..."

"Oh! Li, what you said is really insightful!"

Ever since the soldiers became nervous, the atmosphere in the palace has maintained an uncomfortably serious tone.

Servants like Li, who were normally able to move within a certain range, were all guarded in fixed areas.

"I can't go home tonight. Li, take out your toys and let's play with them together!"

The chef, who couldn't go home, was actually very happy.

Li had the opportunity to see a photo of the chef's wife, so he understood very well the reason for the chef's joy.

Li also joined in the fun and grilled some meat skewers and durian-flavored snacks.

However, while eating in silence, Li kept his eyes on the situation outside the window.

Prince Leon's problem has not been solved yet, and new trouble has arisen in the palace.

Even though the chef stated that such martial law was just a minor issue, Li could not treat it as a minor issue.

Some reptiles and rats spread out from near the cafeteria.

Rats crawled through the gardens and roads, cautiously exploring where the soldiers were gathered.

The mouse pushed aside the grass and stuck its nose out, looking at the scene not far away with its two red eyes.

The vision of mice has deteriorated due to living in a dark environment for a long time.

Li could only see blurry scenes through the mouse's eyes, and he couldn't see far, and there were double visions.

But even with these distractions, Li still jumped up in surprise, causing the chefs who were playing cards nearby to exclaim in surprise.

"Li, you almost knocked over my collection of fine wine!"

“…That’s the fine wine stored in His Royal Highness’ cellar.”

The chef laughed and said that these drinks were actually waste products, which had turned sour due to improper storage.

According to regulations, chefs have to pour out the wine to make room for new wine.

However, chefs who like to save money will keep some of the drinkable part.

Even if their taste has changed long ago, even if you will feel dizzy after drinking them.

At least, let me satisfy my craving for it first.

Li picked up the glass beside him and took a sip of the vinegar-flavored wine.

His body has no fear of the bacteria and toxins in the wine and will not have any reaction to drinking it.

But Li frowned.

"The people captured by the soldiers give me a very familiar feeling..."
