The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

A store called Fortune Restaurant was advertising everywhere. Theresa, who was busy building a refugee camp, watched the townspeople waving small colorful flags from afar.

"That person wants to open a store? Or a store that sells food?"

It was the first time for Theresa to see someone make such a big fuss about a store opening.

"Xiao Li, is your young master's brain okay?"

"Of course~ As long as you go and eat it once, I guarantee that you will fall in love with my young master!"

Xiaoli led her fellow workers who had learned the formwork construction method to come to the refugee camp to help.

With their help, the construction of refugee camps was greatly accelerated.

More laborers will be freed up to do other work, such as reclaiming wasteland or going hunting far away.

Theresa originally thought that Li was just talking that day, but when help really came, it took Theresa a little time to convince herself to accept the help of that scoundrel.

The camp belongs to everyone, and Theresa can't refuse something that benefits everyone just because she hates Li.

"Xiao Li, I have a question for you."

Theresa helped hold the loose wooden boards while waiting for Xiaoli to tie them securely with strong ropes.

While the two were busy with their hands, their mouths were also busy.

"You ask."

"Your young master already has a maid as capable as you, why is he always staring at other girls?"

The question asked by Theresa made Xiaoli tremble, and she hurriedly tied the rope into a knot.

Xiaoli was a little annoyed. The rope needed to be reused, and it would be a waste to tie it into a knot.

Xiaoli quickly tried to find a way to untie the knot, while vaguely answering Theresa's questions.

"Don't talk nonsense. I can't do it. The young master said I can't do it. I can only waste food and mop the floor at best. The young master hates me so much..."

Xiaoli was in a strange state, mumbling something that no one could understand. Theresa looked at her shy appearance and shook her head helplessly.

I don’t know what’s so good about that guy that makes Xiaoli so loyal to him.

In order to understand the situation around her, Theresa has inquired about a lot of information in the past few days.

Mr. and Mrs. Li have a very good reputation in the town. Mr. Li was even recognized by the lord and was promised the position of militia captain.

Although the militia captain does not have much power, he can directly summon the townspeople to organize defense or attack when encountering danger, so he naturally has a high status in the hearts of the townspeople.

Li Ma is the only high-level magician in the town and a strategic weapon-level figure in the region.

But the good eggs hatched a coward.

Li had been learning magic since he was young, and was rated as a junior mage apprentice at an early age. However, until a few days ago, Li had been stuck at this level and had not been able to make any progress.

I heard that he gave up everything and used a dangerous family ritual to upgrade himself. No one knows what happened to him afterwards.

Theresa thought back to the information she had about Lee, pouted her lips and shook her head.

To describe Li in one sentence, he is a useless guy who is too ambitious, has limited abilities, always wants to show off, but cannot even be a formal militiaman and can only whistle at girls.

Theresa felt embarrassed to be targeted by such a useless person.

"Goddess, why was I born so beautiful?"

After a Versailles-style prayer from Theresa, the labor came to a temporary halt.

It was time for dinner, and everyone started walking towards the town facing the sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

In addition to the necessary staff who stayed behind, the refugee camp to which Theresa belonged was invited to attend a tasting session at the new store.

Three or two familiar people gathered together, chatting about the food they might eat soon and complaining about the simplicity of the refugee camp.

The sparse crowds of people cast crooked shadows on the earth.

Everyone entered the town and saw the restaurant with a flamboyant atmosphere from a long distance away.

The flag on the top of the restaurant is more like a bandit camp than a restaurant logo.

The flag has a round golden coin as the base, with a knife and fork placed crossed underneath. From a distance it looks like a golden skull, and it's ugly as hell when you look at it up close.

Theresa didn't like Li in the first place, and after seeing this awkward sign, she became more certain of her previous judgment.

The newly built restaurant has not officially opened yet. The tables and chairs in the store are all brand new. If you take a deep breath, you can smell the undried wood fragrance.

Theresa followed the others in and, as was her habit, chose a seat in the corner.

In the past two days, Xiaoli has been praising the food in the new restaurant. Theresa is a little looking forward to the new food, but she is mostly complaining in her heart that the food Li cooks cannot be delicious.

“The appetizer soup is here~”

Aunt Li temporarily acted as a waitress, carrying a large kettle and pouring water at each table.

The soup made with sour fruits is really appetizing and really sour.

Almost all the guests just took a quick bite, and the expressions on their faces were all filled with the words "hard to describe".

If it wasn't free, or if they didn't owed a favor, the guests would probably just walk out.

"Appetizer, assorted bread and vegetable sandwich!"

A simple dish in which vegetable salad is sandwiched between two slices of bread.

The bread is black bread that is ground as finely as possible, and this kind of bread can be found in the surrounding taverns.

The vegetables are large-leafed wild vegetables that can be found around you. They are non-toxic, harmless and have little nutritional value.

It shouldn't be particularly delicious when these things are put together, but the sauce in the middle gives people a refreshing feeling.

Theresa picked up a quarter of a piece of toast-sized sandwich with a fork, wondering what the filling was made of, but she found that the diners at the same table had already finished eating and were looking at Theresa's fork with shining eyes.

Theresa felt the horror of being stared at by a hungry wolf. How could she continue to stand by and watch? She finished the food in one bite.

It’s a little greasy, but the saltiness and fiber perfectly neutralize it, making the previously difficult-to-swallow black bread slide down your throat in an instant.

“…It’s delicious!”

Theresa's eyes lit up. This humble appetizer was even more delicious than the only communion Theresa had ever attended.

The ingredients are not expensive, but the preparation is very careful, making this a delicacy that even the common people can afford!

Theresa's eyes were like two lasers, sweeping across half of the restaurant, and finally landing on the second dish that Li Ma brought out.

The aroma of the fried fish fillet is spreading from the plate, constantly tempting the appetites of the diners around.

Living up to everyone's expectations, Aunt Li distributed the dishes fairly to each table of guests, not too much, not too little, just enough for each person to take a bite.

The fried, shiny boneless fish fillets are covered with a layer of strange juice and dipped in a piece of fragrant vanilla.

With the experience of eating appetizers just now, everyone knew that the fish fillet must be delicious, but whether they could eat it was a problem.

Everyone raised their forks tacitly, and many people even held them with their backhands like daggers.

No words, no explanations needed, a war begins!
