The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After hearing that Li was Cotton's sworn brother, Ximanda felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

Not only did Count Dalai find it hard to believe, but even Ximanda himself, after hearing about this from his young master, was so excited that he almost rushed to the gravel hill.

That bastard Li actually pressed on Kadon's head and forced them to become sworn brothers. This outrageous move is simply horrifying!

But what can be done about what has already happened, especially since Cotton got some business secrets from Li.

No matter how much Ximanda hated Li, she was destined to be unable to refuse the wine business that was like a money-printing machine, and the sweet little cakes.

dong dong dong~

"Which..."

The door of the hotel room opened, and the hero stuck his head out and almost touched Ximanda's face. The embarrassed hero immediately stepped back and made way to enter the room.

Shimanda didn't bother to be polite with the people in the room. He walked straight to the center of the room and sat down on a chair.

When Li saw that the person knocking on the door was Himanda, he instinctively stood up, and after Himanda sat down, he walked behind him and respectfully massaged his shoulders.

This smooth response attracted strange looks from others.

Li and Ximanda ignored the onlookers and continued their conversation.

"You've grown up to be so capable, you dare to deceive my young master and even use my family's reputation!"

Ximanda's attitude of accusing others of an offence made Li shrink his neck.

"Lord Ximanda, this is all for Katon's own good. Katon was thrown into a remote place like the north, and people here don't know him at all. I am helping him to gain fame."

"You are just quibbling!"

If the young master of the Freyr family really wanted to build a reputation, why would he need the help of a minor noble like Li?

Even asking the border Count Dalai to help is better than letting Li take advantage of it.

But Himanda wasn't really angry.

Li has already demonstrated his wisdom, and Li's current status is low, so it won't be a big problem for Li to borrow his reputation.

If Li can really make a career, it will also be good for Carton.

Unfortunately, Ximanda is still unclear about Li’s real purpose. She thinks Li just wants to make money, but she never thought that Li wants to occupy the land of Windmill River Bay.

"Lord Ximanda, you should know that the current situation in the kingdom has changed. Even powerful nobles like the Freyr family are sending their youngest son to the North. No one knows what the future will be like."

Ximanda remained silent, which was tantamount to agreeing with Li's statement.

Seeing that his rhetoric was effective, Li began to press further.

"There is no conflict between us, so I will speak frankly. Carton is young now, lacking in experience and strength, and can easily become a target of attack. You came here in person to protect Carton, but he was still taken advantage of. Is this because you did not protect him well enough? No!"

Li patted Ximanda's shoulder and emphasized his tone.

Ximanda remained silent, but Xiaoli and Lilith, who were standing opposite her, could feel that Ximanda's aura had changed.

Himandha is becoming dangerous.

The two were worried about Li. They were afraid that Li would accidentally step on a landmine and be killed by Ximanda.

But Li didn't stop talking.

"Those people want to target Carton, and there are countless ways to do it. No matter how hard you try, there will always be loopholes. I believe that with the background of the Freyr family, they will definitely understand one thing: the best defense is offense!"

If you eliminate the enemy, you don't need to be on guard anymore. It's a simple and clear truth.

Ximanda was familiar with knight tactics, so he naturally understood the meaning of Li's words.

Himanda became interested in Lee's idea.

"continue."

Li was very happy that he could gain Ximanda's recognition, and many subsequent things could develop smoothly.

"It's like this. Since the weakness lies with Carton, then we should make Carton stronger and harder to touch. If we want to deal with him, we will have to pay a greater price. In this way, those who only plot behind the scenes will be afraid to act rashly!"

"It's easy for you to say..."

"To be specific, let Carton control the business of the North. As long as the wealth is gathered in Carton's hands, the civilians and merchants of the North will stand on Carton's side. Let Carton train a knight group by himself, and his safety can be guaranteed. At that time, everyone will have to consider Carton's attitude. Maybe he can help the Duke who is being criticized by all parties in the capital in the future~"

The scene described by Li moved Ximanda's heart deeply. She really loved the Freyr family and hoped that the young master could stand up.

Just listen to Li continue.

"Carton can't always be a good boy. He is a man and he has to grow up."

It is even more impossible for Himanda to be a mother hen forever and protect Katon behind her.

Ximanda admitted that he was not as far-sighted as Li in his vision for the future.

However, Ximanda was not so simple-minded and was fooled by Li's words.

"Haha~ You said so much just to get our support, but in the end, you are the one who gets the most benefit, Vizor Li!"

Li raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Ximanda to point out his little thoughts directly.

"What are you talking about? I will naturally seek benefits, and Katon will not suffer any loss. This is a win-win situation for us. We both have a bright future~"

What a wonderful future!

Ximanda realized that Li was more capable than she had imagined, and perhaps it was not a bad thing for Master Cotton to make friends with Li.

At least, with such a good fool around, when Carton encounters bad guys in the future, he can distinguish the loyal from the treacherous by comparing himself with Li Yi.

"…Tell me, how can we support you, and what will you bring to Master Carton?"

Ximanda raised her head and looked at Li from a strange perspective. Li could see inside the maid's uniform by following Ximanda's raised neck...

Li quickly thought it was an eyesore that this old lady Ximanda actually tried to seduce this young master!

The room was filled with murderous intent, and Himanda realized that his indecent behavior had been taken advantage of.

Everyone was silent except Li who was brave enough to keep jumping on the line of death.

"I will contact the local lord and try my best to persuade him to cooperate with the Freyr family in business. In this way, the Freyr family will be able to extend their hands to Windmill Bay. Then I will find a way to discredit the lord. When people here no longer trust the lord, the actual control will naturally fall into Carton's hands~"

It’s a plan that is so simple and plain that it’s the same whether it is said or not.

"Earl Dalai is not stupid. His family has been cultivating in Windmill Bay for many years. What is your basis for wanting to drive them away?"

"Just relying on my eloquent tongue~"

Li stuck out his tongue and licked his lips in ecstasy.

Shimanda, who was trying hard to ignore his own gaffe, immediately clenched his fists upon seeing this.

Before Li could react, Ximanda's fist hit his eye socket accurately.

"oops!"

Li's eyes became panda eyes, and the dark and blue appearance made Xiaoli and Lilith giggle.

"Why did you hit me!"

"You little bastard, I'm not only going to beat you up, I'm also going to dig out your eyes!"
