The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer
Chapter 139 Return to the Royal Capital
Under the mental connection, Li can easily understand the thoughts of the cats and dogs in front of him, and his own thoughts can also be clearly conveyed to the animals in front of him.
After explaining their need to find someone, the little animals gathered together and discussed it seriously for a while.
After a round of barking and meowing, the animal group came to a conclusion.
"Twenty pounds of beef jerky, plus ten pounds of grilled fish fillets, and we'll tell you what happened this morning."
Looking at the cat and dog bargaining with him, Li's cheeks twitched.
These guys are really asking for too much. I just want to get some information, but they are asking too much.
However, there are really a lot of animals gathered in front of us. If each person gets a bite, dozens of kilograms of meat doesn’t seem like a lot.
"Okay, I agree. I'll get the money to buy those things later. Now, can you tell me where you have seen my wife?"
This was not the first time that Li had summoned small animals to gather intelligence. In this town, many birds, fish and insects knew that there was a human wizard, and they would inquire about information from them whenever they had nothing to do.
"Isn't your wife right next to you?"
A dog came over, took a sniff, and gave Li an embarrassing answer.
"This is not my wife."
"But your flavors blend together, and only husband and wife can do that."
Li covered his head in pain. He didn't know how to explain the relationship between him and Lilith. They were just blood friends at the moment, not as close as a couple.
But Li really had neither the mood nor the time to explain more.
"Ah, we understand. It's another wife. Humans are always like that. They keep things secret."
"That's enough, you're just here to make up the scene, can you please stop talking so much nonsense!"
After Li said that they would not be given any food if they continued to talk nonsense, the animals immediately became obedient.
"Well, we saw someone dragging a woman with a basket of vegetables onto a carriage in the corner of the market."
Li and Lilith looked at each other and immediately determined that this person was Theresa they were looking for.
Teresa was kidnapped?
Li recalled the domestic violence incident of the previous few days and did not believe that Theresa would be taken away.
“Can you tell me the specific process?”
To show his gratitude, Li sprinkled another handful of candy.
"Early in the morning, a group of people surrounded the woman. There were people watching the excitement, and the group arrogantly took out their weapons and forced the people around them to retreat."
"Yeah, yeah. They also said that if you don't want to die, stay away from the Artifact Recycling Company."
A Mao and a Gou collaborated to tell the story of an unusual incident that occurred on the street in the morning. At the end of the dispute, Teresa took the initiative to leave with those people in order not to cause bigger problems.
Theresa did a great job preventing a fight from involving innocent people.
However, it took Li a long time to find out about Theresa, and he didn't know whether Theresa suffered after being taken away.
Li's mind subconsciously recalled some terrible scenes, and before his mind turned red, Li quickly calmed down his delusions.
"It turned out to be a divine weapon recycling company... What on earth do they want to do?!"
Li was initially confused about the impression of the artifact recycling company.
A man broke into a house and picked the lock just to steal the artifact. After being discovered, he got away with it, but the next day he sent a rational manager to negotiate in person.
Li still doesn't understand the group's code of conduct, and he doesn't even know whether they are good or evil.
But the moment they captured Theresa, they became Lee's enemies!
Lilith was also surprised when she heard about Li Digu's artifact recycling company.
"Brother Li, why did they arrest Theresa? Could it be that Theresa is also related to the artifact?"
"…Maybe. The temple always has many secrets. Maybe those people want to get something from Theresa."
The Temple is the largest religious organization in the kingdom and is also the controller of the wishing well.
If the Artifact Recovery Company collects artifacts with the intention of granting a special wish, kidnapping senior staff of the Temple is indeed a convenient and quick method.
"Lilith, I'm going to the capital."
After learning of Theresa's whereabouts, Li prepared to go to the royal capital to investigate the specific situation of the company.
Just as Li was about to turn around and leave, Lilith grabbed his wrist.
"Brother Li, you are too anxious now. I want to go with you to prevent you from falling into a trap because of impulse."
“…Lilith, you don’t have to take the risk to do this with me.”
"But Brother Li, you also tried your best to exclude my personal feelings when it came to saving my mother."
Li was speechless. When rescuing his aunt, Li forcefully prevented Lilith from participating and left her waiting behind the whole time.
Li's rescue operation was very successful, but during the operation, the psychological pressure Lilith endured almost crushed her.
Although the result was good, the waiting process was extremely painful for Lilith.
Lilith endured it quietly and never complained to Li about it.
Now that the matter has fallen on Li's head, Li finds that it is not so easy to deal with it calmly.
"Lilith, I..."
"I know you are a person who values commitment, so it is difficult for you to make a promise to me, and it is even more difficult after Teresa's accident."
Lilith took the initiative to help at this critical moment, which made Li feel guilty.
However, Lilith didn't want to take this opportunity to exchange anything from Li.
Li treats Lilith as a relative, and Lilith does the same.
"Let's find out Theresa and the underlying problem."
Lilith and Li reached an agreement and they returned to the capital together.
When he returned to the royal capital this time, Li was surprised to find that the royal capital had undergone amazing changes.
The trees that originally stood on both sides of the road are gone, the street lights are gone, and the tall buildings are gone.
Compacted dirt roads and stone slabs have become the norm on the streets of the royal capital.
The buildings on both sides of the street also became low wooden and stone structures.
Cars and trains were gone, and what was running on the road was a public carriage pulled by two horses.
After just a few days of absence, this once modern capital had suddenly become medieval.
This time, not only was the old city in decline, but the main streets and the royal palace also showed signs of historical regression.
Is there something wrong with my cognition, or is there something wrong with this world?
Li began to doubt everything in front of him, and then began to doubt his life.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"
“…I just feel that the capital is very different from the last time I came here.”
Lilith just thought Li Qi was weird, but she didn't see anything unusual.
Li saw Lilith's reaction, and he suddenly felt that it was a terrible thing for him to be able to clearly realize the abnormality alone.
"Forget it, it's more important to find Theresa. Lilith, let's start investigating."
