The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li is not afraid of being haunted by evil spirits, but he is afraid of being targeted by the Paladin.

When eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet, there are always eyes glancing at me from the corner.

The terrifying feeling is simply terrifying.

Li turned back suddenly, and the person who was peeping would slip away again.

"Teresa No. 2, could you please stop staring at me? Are you crazy?"

"I'm not Number Two, I have a name!"

A helmeted figure peeked out of the window. Li saw that the other person was clinging to the windowsill of the castle with just his arm strength, and his face was filled with speechlessness.

Ever since coming clean with Theresa's sister, this Paladin with strong faith has been staying by Lee's side.

Lee allowed her to stand behind him, just like Lilith did.

But Saoirse was unwilling to accept Lee's kindness and always secretly monitored Lee.

"Please restrain your exaggerated behavior, Lord Paladin!"

Seeing that Li was really angry, Saoirse climbed in through the window, wearing heavy armor, and sat directly on the sofa in the room.

The sofa couldn't bear the weight and made a cracking sound. The part where Saoirse sat was visibly dented.

"I'm sorry, I'll pay for it."

"It doesn't matter. This is Count Lucy's property. You don't have to compensate me."

Li poured Saoirse a glass of water, hoping that she would stop causing trouble for him.

But Saoirse felt that it was always Lee who caused trouble.

"Stop your stupid idea of ​​building Neverwinter in the North. This is even more ridiculous than praying to the goddess for overnight wealth."

"Stupid idea? Why do you always oppose me? You should see the changes in Windmill Bay now."

Li had experienced Saoirse's paranoia and knew that her persistence in her beliefs was even more serious than that of Theresa, the silly goose.

But the facts are there, and Li still can't understand why Saoirse always opposes his approach.

"You know, before the last Archbishop took office, the Holy Church was just like you, hoping to find a way to make everyone rich, but unfortunately they failed."

Saoirse once again brought up the failed Vatican reform twenty years ago.

"Are you going to repeat the same old thing again?"

"Do you have any objection?"

“…I’m all ears.”

It was obviously Saoirse who wanted to pour out her heart, and she was the one who made the request. Li was quite dissatisfied with Saoirse's tough attitude.

"What you are doing now is what the high-ranking clergy of the temple and the magicians of the kingdom have all devoted great efforts to research."

Saoirse glanced out the window, from where she could see the greenhouses in the farmland in the distance.

It turned out that the Temple and the Kingdom had also studied methods to increase crop yields, which surprised Li.

"Using sacred magic at all costs, and using magic to transform nature, it is indeed possible to reverse the seasons and create eternal spring."

The artificial spring described by Saoirse was entirely achieved by relying on the magician's endless supply of magic power.

Li could only stare in amazement and curse the church's extravagance.

If these resources of the temple could be given to Li, Li would be able to reach a high score in minutes.

"and then?"

"Then the earth will wither and die, and there will be no more life!"

Saoirse acted like she knew nothing and hoped that Lee would stop all construction work in Windmill Bay.

"You simply don't understand. The vitality of the land is limited. It cannot support more people. Forcing it to do so is just draining the pond to catch fish. In the end, everyone will suffer the consequences!"

Li understood what Saoirse meant. Cultivating the land for a long time would cause the land to lose nutrients and eventually turn into a dead land.

Lee understood this kind of thing from the beginning, and seeing Saoirse making a fuss, Lee just wanted to laugh.

"Do you understand or not? Why are you laughing?"

"Ahem~ I just wanted to ask you, after working in the fields for several months, have you come to the conclusion that this won't work?"

"Yes, what you are doing now has been tried by the Holy Temple a long time ago, and it has failed. That is why the Holy Temple is now..."

"The current Holy Temple is taking the high-tech route, concentrating wealth in the hands of a few people, and using this as a model to influence the whole."

“…How did you know?!”

Li casually revealed the top secret of the temple, which scared Saoirse.

"This is not difficult, because this is the original route from the kingdom to the nobility."

Saoirse was choked. According to what Li said, it was true when she thought about it carefully.

"Come on, I'll take you to see what the greenhouse really looks like."

Silsa has been looking out from the edge of the field for the past few months, but rarely goes deep into the greenhouse.

Before, Saoirse was hostile to everything in Windmill Bay, and she is still the same now. However, with Li leading the way, Saoirse is not so unwilling to even enter the greenhouse.

After entering the greenhouse, Saoirse smelled a pungent odor.

Everyone is familiar with this smell. After all, you can smell a similar smell every time you go to the toilet.

"You, you guys actually!"

The look Saoirse gave Lee was clearly filled with the word pervert.

Fertilizer was being applied in the greenhouse. Saoirse didn't expect that Li and these farmers were all dung beetles.

"Put away your rude eyes. When you look down on these fertilizers, abundance is also moving away from you."

"You said this stuff was fertilizer!"

Saoirse glanced at the mass of feces and household garbage and immediately felt her eyes dirty.

Although many people urinate on the streets, collecting feces and dumping them in farmland is still too disgusting.

"The growth potion prepared by alchemists using rare materials can be called fertilizer. Well, these things you guys are making..."

"Oh? Alchemists can also mix growth potions!"

Li was really ignorant and had a limited vision in such a remote place like the North.

All Li can rely on now is the knowledge from the earth and the local magical power, which he has not come into contact with much.

"Of course, but the best alchemists come from races like elves and dwarves. We humans can't catch up with them in alchemy."

Long-lived species can accumulate experience through continuous trial and error. The advantage of a long life is that experience can be better passed on.

Li was very excited and wondered where to get some longevity seeds to do his labor...

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

Saoirse waved in front of Li, and Li turned his attention back to the Paladin in front of him.

Just as Li knew nothing about alchemy and alien races, the paladin in front of him also had no idea about fertilizer.

"Well, you said that producing more food will consume the earth's vitality. Then let me ask you, where does the earth's vitality come from?"

"The scriptures say that the goddess used her body to transform into the earth. The vitality of the land naturally comes from the power of the goddess!"

Li covered his forehead with his hand, knowing that it would not be easy to change Saoirse's mind.

However, it is necessary to transform the fanatics' stubborn ideas into scientific thinking.

Because Li wanted to expand the influence of the North, he had to spread scientific ideas.

"Theresa Two, let me tell you my thoughts on the earth."

"I've told you so many times, don't call me number two!"
