The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 239 The Murderer's Stigma

At night, when everyone was asleep, the Earl's castle suddenly caught fire. All the soldiers were mobilized to participate in the firefighting and the pursuit of the little Earl.

Just moments ago, the guards watched as little Darley killed his father and then threw a candlestick, setting the furniture in the room on fire.

The luxurious bed left by the mother and the cherished portraits on the wall soon caught fire under the erosion of the flames.

Little Dalai used his father's body to clear a path, knocked aside the guards and rushed into the garden.

The soldiers who were awakened later only knew that there was a riot and had no idea that little Dalai had killed his father. They thought that little Dalai had run out to organize the firefighting.

By the time everyone knew that Little Dale had killed his father and fled, he could no longer be found in the castle.

The earl died, the young earl fled, and the castle was suddenly ownerless.

Li, who was living in the guest room, was still snoring when he was woken up by Lilith shaking him violently.

"Lilith, you're not sleeping so late at night. Are you hungry again?"

Li, who was half asleep, thought Lilith was hungry again. Li, who had a lot of experience in feeding babies, simply unzipped his clothes and put his neck in front of Lilith.

Lilith looked at Li's seductive neck, swallowed, and resisted the urge to bite it.

"Brother Li, wake up! I smell blood and fire!"

Li woke up instantly, raised his hand to sense the small bugs released to various parts of the castle, and found that the castle was indeed in chaos.

Li put his soul into the mouse, ran around the castle, and roughly understood what happened.

"It's unbelievable. The Earl is dead, and the little Earl ran away. What a sin the Earl's family has committed!"

Count Dalai is the real power holder in the North. Li never dreamed that the Count would be killed so easily.

If Li had known this would happen, he would have definitely made some arrangements in the castle.

"Brother Li, is the Earl really dead? What should we do then!"

Li was also very troubled. The Earl's death was too quick. Even if Li wanted to help resurrect him, it would be useless.

“We just reached a cooperation!”

Lee pounded the bed angrily.

Now that the cooperation has fallen through, Li's idea of ​​controlling Windmill Bay will probably have to be postponed indefinitely.

"Let Xiaoli and the hero get dressed, we might be in trouble..."

Just as Li had finished giving his instructions, a group of Vatican knights arrived near the guest room. Their leader was the paladin whom he had met several times.

The knights blocked Li and his group in the guest room. The paladin drew his sword, pointed it at Li and condemned his crime.

"Weiser Li, we now suspect that you used forbidden evil magic to murder Count Dalai and control the young Count. Come with us!"

Li inexplicably became the murderer of the Count's death. The Vatican Knights locked Li in a mobile prison and left people in the city to watch him.

Fortunately, the knights still had some conscience and did not let Xiaoli and Lilith suffer with Li.

"It was this man who dedicated himself to the darkness and used evil magic to cloud the young earl's mind. He was the mastermind behind the earl's death!"

Enduring the rocks thrown from the road, Li silently pondered the entire incident.

Li did master the art of necromancy, but he did not kill Count Dalai. The murderer was someone else.

But the Paladin claimed that it was Lee's black magic that caused all this.

Li sensed a terrible truth from the Paladin's affirmative description.

The Paladin must have seen it, or the Temple must know the true power of necromancy, to be so sure that Li has the ability to kill Count Dalai.

While Li Guan was parading in the cage, the Holy Temple was taking over Windmill River Bay as quickly as possible.

The cathedral organized a grand funeral for Count Dalai, and the whole city knew that the lord who once protected them had lost his life.

Some people are confused about this, more people are indifferent, and some people hide in the shadows and smile.

Windmill Bay has lost its owner, the Dalai family has no successor, and this fertile land is about to have a new owner!

Who can be lucky enough to pick up such a large territory for free?

Of course it’s the temple!

The knights sent by the Templar entered Windmill Bay. These knights seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Not only were there a large number of them, but their positions were also assigned very quickly.

These knights not only brought peace and tranquility, but also brought a large amount of food, which directly saved the Windmill River Bay from the food shortage.

This is a conspiracy!

At this point, anyone with insight can see who the real beneficiary is after the lord's death.

Then they must be the murderer!

"Tomorrow afternoon, this evil wizard will be tried on the gallows in the center of town!"

Li was labeled a murderer and was to be publicly executed.

The whole city was cheering, and the reputation of the temple was greatly enhanced in Windmill River Bay.

I have to say that the Holy Temple played a very good game this time. Not only did it kill the lord, but it also pinned the blame for the murder on Li, and in the process won the hearts of the people.

Li was thrown into the dungeon for the second time. Unlike the last time when he was detained at random, this time the dungeon was firmly guarded by the Templar Knights.

There was no possibility for Li to escape, and Li didn't want to escape.

"There is no panic or despair in your eyes. You will be judged for committing such a crime!"

The night before the execution, the Paladin came to the dungeon to visit the sinner Li.

Li looked at the Paladin in surprise, not knowing whether she really didn't know the situation or was deliberately pretending to be compassionate.

"…I am confused. The description of the goddess in the scriptures uses all the most beautiful words in the world, such as love, kindness, innocence, tolerance, etc. The Holy Temple claims to be the children of the goddess and the agent who spreads the gospel in the world. Why haven't you learned those beautiful virtues?"

"You are a fallen wizard who has surrendered to the devil. Don't try to sway people's hearts with your sweet words!"

"Paladin! Tell me, where is your kindness? Even if I am really a sinner, shouldn't you use your kindness to influence me, let me understand where I am wrong, give me a chance to reform myself, and let me bask in the sun again!"

Li is not afraid of the Temple, even though it is the largest religious machine in the kingdom.

But Li couldn't stand it. At this time, the Paladin was still pretending to be noble.

"You rubbish who only know how to hang sinners have no right to represent the goddess!"

Li's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the paladin's heart hard. She staggered back, and the enchantments on her armor dimmed a lot.

"Oh? How strange! Your faith has been shaken. What were you doing before? I didn't see you when the refugees were expelled, and I didn't see you when Count Dalai died. Now you come out to show your compassion!"

The Paladin was hit hard by Li's words, and she left the dungeon in embarrassment, like a dog whose tail was stepped on.

Watching the Paladin leave in an embarrassed manner, Li did not feel the pleasure of revenge.

Instead, Li was full of doubts.

"Is this Paladin really not the mastermind behind this..."
