The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The caravan headed north, advancing quickly on the ground that became increasingly muddy after the frost.

Thanks to the great magician Amber in the team, when the road conditions are too bad, Amber can take action directly.

Every magician who masters earth magic is a human excavator.

Building roads through mountains and constructing bridges over rivers are all no problem.

"Master Amber, the Windmill Bay is ahead. You have seen how lively it is here~"

When we first headed north, the villages and towns we passed by were more dilapidated than the last.

Amber hadn't left the capital for a long time. When she first saw the people living in poverty, she felt very sad.

However, the poverty situation in villages and towns soon changed.

After approaching the Windmill River Bay, the road turned into a flat hard surface, and the village also had regular houses built with bricks and stones.

Smoke rises from the roofs of every household, showing the abundance of people's lives.

Amber was quite surprised. There had been a heavy snowfall in the north, and the coldness enveloped the land.

People did not hide in their homes, but were busy on the streets just like in summer.

There were people wearing conspicuous clothes standing in the middle of the road sweeping the snow, and there were enthusiastic vendors greeting passers-by.

Amber looked at all this in surprise, until Jacob called her, then Amber reacted.

"We have arrived at Windmill River Bay, Master Amber, we will meet again if we are lucky."

The amber was unloaded by the convoy and went straight to the trading area for purchase.

This made Amber feel lost after completing her short journey.

Amber fantasized about joining the caravan, becoming a part of it, sharing the joys and sorrows with Jacob and his friends, and finally falling in love...

"Oh my God, what the hell am I thinking about!"

Amber dispelled the bad thoughts in her head and looked towards the roadside stalls.

The long metal cooking utensils are divided into small compartments, which contain different ingredients and soup bases.

Just standing on the side of the road and taking a deep breath, the irresistible fragrance will penetrate into your nostrils.

Amber looked around and saw that no one knew her, so she stopped pretending.

“Give me some of this!”

"Take it, and come back when you are satisfied~"

Various snacks skewered on wooden sticks, each bite had a different flavor. Amber had never eaten such snacks in the royal capital.

He ate one bite at a time, his mouth full of greasy amber, and it took him a long time to remember his identity.

I am a magician, how can I be distracted by the food of common people? This is not elegant at all!

"One more!"

Amber was holding four or five snacks in her hands. After she had the food in her hands, she was not so anxious to put it into her mouth.

In addition to food stalls, there are also many stalls selling sundries on the roadside.

Amber's eyes lingered on the sparkling crystal ornaments until she reached the end of the street.

Amber really didn't expect that there would be such a bustling street market in the North.

She saw winter clothes piled up like mountains and available for just a few copper coins, and she also saw lush green vegetables sold by farmers at their stalls.

Amber, who had just eaten fried food, began to drool at the sight of the vegetables, her body spontaneously craving for the bright green leaves.

“Did you grow this vegetable?”

"Whatever the customer wants to buy, I'll install it for you!"

The farmers selling vegetables at the stall looked simple and enthusiastic, which made Amber, the guest, feel a sense of respect and satisfaction.

"Give me some of these."

Amber simply pointed at the stall and saw the farmer pull out a huge bag and put all the vegetables into it.

"A total of twelve silver coins, thank you for your patronage~"

"what?"

Amber looked confused and took out twelve silver coins from her purse.

Twelve silver coins are not very expensive, but this bag of vegetables is too much!

Amber reacted and quickly refused.

"I don't want so much, just a little bit..."

Amber pinched her fingers and made a little gesture.

"Customer, I can tell from the looks of it that you're from the south. This is how we buy things in our area. If you ask for less, I'm embarrassed to sell it to you."

Amber had never seen business done this way, and she didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not.

Amber had no choice but to ask for help from passers-by around her, but she saw that the passers-by seemed to be accustomed to such scenes and did not show much surprise.

"There are so many things, I can't take them away."

Seeing Amber standing there awkwardly, the enthusiastic farmer kindly pointed a way to her.

"You can take these dishes to the hotel over there. You can reduce the cost of food and lodging by bringing your own dishes."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

The North is really strange. Every rule is very different from that of the King's.

Amber was skeptical, so she dragged a large bag of vegetables and walked into the restaurant the farmer pointed out.

The name of the restaurant is Fortune Catering, which sounds weird, but the environment inside the restaurant is really nice.

The warm indoor environment made Amber feel the heat wave blowing towards her, and the smooth floor made Amber reluctant to step on it.

An old lady, seeing Amber dressed as a stranger, hurried over to entertain her.

"How long do you plan to live here, girl?"

"I'm here to visit relatives, and I'm going to Gravel Hills later..."

Amber was about to explain that she would not be living there permanently when she saw the old woman's expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Gravel Hills, there is also a branch of Fortune Restaurant there. If you sign up as a member at our restaurant, you can use it when you go to Gravel Hills."

Amber has lived in the royal capital for too long and can't stand the enthusiasm in the north.

I am clearly wearing a magician's robe, and it seems like no one here would be afraid.

The farmer outside sold a lot of things to her, which made Amber very troubled.

The mother-in-law in the store was also a talkative person. In just a moment, she almost asked about Amber's measurements.

"My girl, it must be very difficult for you to travel alone. Even as a magician it is not safe. We have many good guys here. My youngest son is a guard for the city lord. Would you like to meet him some time?"

Amber looked embarrassed and could only bury her head in the bowl of noodles brought by her mother-in-law.

Amber could tell at a glance that the meat slices on top of the noodles were those disgusting beast meats, but she didn't have the chance to be picky at the moment.

"Hmm, why is this meat so delicious! It's not like this before! And why does this noodle taste like this!"

Amber, who was used to eating bread and cheese, was overwhelmed by the refreshing feeling when she ate noodles with meat for the first time.

In addition to large pieces of wild animal meat, the noodles also contained vegetables that she had just brought into the restaurant.

As he took a big bite of the food, all the cold air brought in from outside was dispelled.

When the old woman saw Amber enjoying her meal, she also started laughing.

"To be honest, I was lying outside the city waiting to die a few months ago. If it weren't for the kindness of the city lord who taught us how to grow things, how to use new kitchen utensils, and how to use various spices, we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious noodles~"

Feeling the smile on her mother-in-law's face, Amber realized that the Neverwinter Kingdom mentioned in her bestie's letter seemed to be real.

"You want to go to Gravel Hill, right? Go out and find the man who sold you the things. He is my man and he will take you to Gravel Hill."

The mother-in-law took away Amber's bowl and fork, and told Amber a surprising news.

Amber didn't expect that the uncle selling things and the grandmother in the restaurant were a family.

This is really an interesting fate.

Amber used ten silver coins to apply for a membership card at Caiyun Restaurant, and was then sent by her mother-in-law to settle down in a hotel operated by the chain.

After receiving Amber's mother-in-law, she returned to the restaurant and went to the kitchen to meet her boss.

After my mother-in-law returned to the kitchen, the kind smile on her face immediately turned cunning and treacherous.

"Boss Li, this is what I just took out from that stupid and rich magician."

"Okay, as agreed, you can get a 2% commission."

"thank you boss!"
