The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 3 Malice Under the Face

Several birds were flying over the flat road. From time to time, their kind would fly over and greet these birds that were emitting a strange fragrance.

The controlled birds ate magical food, which emitted a scent that attracted birds.

Many birds want to possess this fragrance, and even want to get close to these birds.

The sky smells like bird hormones.

"This kind of witchcraft is so annoying every time I use it!"

Li tried his best to control these birds that were controlled by the undead witchcraft and get rid of the interference of his own kind.

But his control is not complete.

The birds still had some instinctive reactions. The flying bird controlled by Li kept wanting to land in the woods and make love with the mother bird that came close to it.

Synchronizing the vision of multiple birds took a heavy toll on Lee’s mind.

Fortunately, not long after, Li saw a cavalry composed of classical knights on the road from Golden Lion City to Taurus City.

A dragon-blood warhorse with Warcraft bloodline, carrying a sturdy knight in full metal armor.

The knights were holding the flag of the Grand Duke's family. They were the convoy of the target person that Li was looking for.

"Tsk tsk~ As expected of an old noble, you are really impressive."

The dragon-blood warhorse and a full set of knight's armour were both expensive and difficult to maintain.

Nowadays, other nobles have armed themselves with magic vehicles and magic guns, but Lian's family is still as conservative as ever.

These ceremonial objects are the Grand Duke's display of family power. That bumpy classic carriage must be very uncomfortable to ride.

The fact was just as Li guessed. Lian and her brother, sitting in the metal carriage, were desperately enduring the pain of motion sickness.

According to the original plan, they would be able to meet the famous pastor after arriving in Golden Lion City, but the receptionist told Lian that the pastor was out on business.

Upon learning that the priest was treating the mayor of Taurus City, Lian had to organize a team again and head to the next city to look for hope in her heart.

"Sister, let's go home."

Brother Cotton was tired of the long-distance run. He lay on the armrest beside him, trying hard to endure the stomach acid that was rising up.

Lian felt very sad to see her brother like this.

She also wanted to stop there, but when she thought that there might be hope of curing her brother in Taurus City, Lian's heart hardened again.

"Maid, tell the team to rest for a quarter of an hour and bring some refreshments."

Lian was full of tenderness when facing her brother, but when she gave orders to the maid, she spoke with all her authority as a master.

The head maid didn't dare to disobey Lian's request and immediately jumped off the carriage to make arrangements.

The convoy pulled over to the side of the road to rest, the doors on both sides of the carriage were opened, and the gentle breeze soothed the irritability in the hearts of the siblings.

His younger brother Carton ate the snacks one by one, and the crumbs of the biscuits stained his lapel.

Lian gently wiped the corners of her brother's mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the poor man lovingly.

Lian still remembers that before Carton fell ill, the little boy said that he would protect his sister when he grew up.

"Sister! Tell me a story."

After eating and drinking his fill, Katon began to act coquettishly towards his sister.

Lian touched Carton's head lovingly, thinking about the fairy tales she had memorized.

"Miss, please have some snacks too."

The head maid interrupted Lian's thoughts and brought a new plate of snacks and brewed black tea.

Seeing that there was food again, Carton took it and put the snacks and black tea into his mouth.

This time, Cotton ate very seriously. He bit the cookies on the plate fiercely as if they were his enemies.

Lian Gang wanted to stop his brother, saying that he shouldn't eat so much.

But he saw his brother turning around with the plate in his arms, leaving him with a look of rejection.

Her younger brother rarely treats Lian in this way, which makes Lian a little sad.

Perhaps it was the restlessness of the journey that made my brother rebellious.

"Miss, please eat some too."

"No need, we have rested enough, let's continue..."

"My lady, you can see that the knights are very tired."

Following the maid's gaze, I saw the knights gathered under the shade of the trees, tiredly avoiding the scorching sun.

Two knights even took off their armor and drank the sweet spring water from their water bags.

"Miss, we still have a long way to go. We can't overdraw our body."

It's time to take a break.

Lian took the snack handed to her by the maid and took a small bite.

The restlessness in her heart made her lose her appetite, and she didn't know whether the pastor here was as magical as the rumors said.

It will probably fail.

Lian smiled self-deprecatingly.

Over the years, she has taken care of her brother and has sought help from countless doctors, but Lian knows very well that the damaged brain cannot be repaired.

But as a sister and as a family member, I can't give up even if I know there is no hope.

His younger brother Cotton is not only the person he cares about and protects, but also the key to the continuation of the family.

Only Lian and her family knew that the family was on the verge of life and death.

The kings of this generation did not trust Lian's family. The family was suppressed and excluded, like a donkey loaded with goods.

Maybe a leaf falling from the tree would cause the exhausted donkey to fall down.

And the leaf soon fell on Lian's head.

"Sister, I'm so sleepy."

Katon, who was halfway through eating his snack, yawned while pulling Lian's finger.

"Then you should take a rest..."

Before Lian finished her words, she suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Lian's ears caught the dangerous sound of bullets cutting through the air, and she quickly threw her brother onto the carriage.

Even though Lian reacted as quickly as possible, Katon was still shot.

Looking at her brother's chest oozing with blood, anger instantly surged into Lian's heart.

"Kill!"

A group of gangsters dressed as bandits rushed up from all directions. The ones in front were brandishing swords and spears, while those in the back were hiding in the distance and shooting.

Lian was almost laughing out of anger at the fact that there were such a large number of bandits in a city in the central part of the kingdom.

These criminals even had the legion's standard equipment in their hands. It seemed like they were targeting us!

It was a ridiculous ambush, no one would believe it if you told them about it.

But the current situation is indeed very critical for Lian.

If Lian can survive, she can naturally make the local lord pay the price.

The premise is that she has to be alive.

The enemies who pretended to be criminals thought the same, so they were extremely ruthless in this ambush.

Many of the knights brought by Lian were careless and died in the attack before they could even put up a fight.

Several knights formed a battle formation and tried to resist.

But as soon as they fought with the enemies who rushed towards them, they lay back and fell into a peaceful sleep.

"poisonous!"

Lian immediately realized that something was wrong. The knights were not acting, they were really unconscious.

Lian looked at the head maid with sharp eyes and found that she was unharmed and was hiding behind the carriage observing the situation.

Glancing at Lian's fierce eyes, the head maid turned her head subconsciously, but she suppressed the fear in her heart and glared back at Lian fiercely.

Lian saw that the head maid's eyes were filled with hatred.

This head maid, who had worked diligently and served the family for more than twenty years, had actually been hiding the malice in her heart.

Lian knew that she might die here today.
