The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 511 Reconciliation

On the surface, Jacob has turned into a demon and was killed by the hero.

In fact, Jacob is still alive and well, he just no longer runs the factory.

Before the Northerners invented the camera, there were very few ways to preserve human portraits in this world, so naturally no one knew what the merchant Jacob looked like.

"Hello, are you Ms. Elizabeth?"

Jacob, who arrived at Lucy's castle to report, met Amber for the first time.

"Oh~ You are Jacob who was transformed into a demon! Can you transform for me? I am very interested in demons~"

Jacob really wanted to say to Amber, are you polite?

"Well, Ms. Elizabeth, I'm here to help you prepare the materials. Let's talk business first."

"No need to be so strange, Mr. Jacob, just call me Amber."

Amber waved her left hand, and the curled-up drawing on the table immediately flew in front of the two of them.

The blueprint unfolded in mid-air, revealing the complex battleship design inside.

Jacob's eyes went dark after just a quick glance, and he felt that he might have taken on an extraordinary task.

"We're going to make this? Oh my goodness, it's impossible to keep something this big secret!"

A ship over 200 meters long would be difficult to conceal just by its size. As soon as construction began, everyone in the world would know Li’s plan.

"No, we are not the ones who are going to build this big thing. It's only you!"

Amber took herself out immediately, and Jacob, who was already dissatisfied, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Ah? Are you kidding?"

"No kidding~"

Amber was also frightened by this unreliable project at the time. Now seeing Jacob's surprised look, Amber began to understand Li's bad taste.

"Relax, you are only responsible for the outer shell. As long as you spend money to collect materials, it is easy to accomplish this task~"

“…Ms. Elizabeth, I heard from others that you are a serious and responsible person, so please don’t joke with me like this!”

Amber was once again amused by Jacob's aggrieved look.

After getting to know each other, Amber analyzed and explained the details of the drawings to Jacob. At this moment, someone else came to report to Amber.

"Dear Ms. Elizabeth! I am Norton, invited by Mr. Weiser Li to participate in a secret project!"

Amber was a little surprised. She thought that having Jacob's help was enough, but she didn't expect that Li would find Norton as a sponsor.

Originally, building a big ship might have used up all of Jacob's family fortune, but now with the addition of Norton, this annoying guy, Jacob's pressure was instantly relieved.

Before Amber could entertain Norton, Jacob took the lead and pulled him to his side.

"Are you Sir Norton? I've heard of your name for a long time. You are a big shot who supported Lord Simon and fought back and forth with the noble coalition army!"

Jacob's flattery made Norton extremely embarrassed.

Norton had just fallen out with Simon two days ago. When Simon's name was mentioned at this time, Norton felt upset.

"Sir Norton doesn't look very well. Sit down and take a rest!"

Jacob was a shrewd businessman and he could see the unhappy expression on Norton's face at a glance.

Jacob suspected that he might have stepped on a landmine.

"Sir Norton, you and Simon?"

"Alas~ There's nothing to hide. Simon and I have a disagreement and we no longer have any contact."

Jacob and Amber looked at each other and realized that the contradiction in Norton's words must be complicated.

The two did not ask any more questions and quickly and enthusiastically changed the subject, talking about future cooperation.

"Li's intention is to ask you two to use business means to solve the expenses of the next research project. Li will give you some new products to operate. I think you can definitely judge how much profit there is..."

Being businessmen is old stuff for both Jacob and Norton. Jacob only needs to change his name to continue doing what he does best. There is no reason to refuse this cooperation.

Norton was also very happy. He had long hoped to participate in the rapid development of the North. After much trouble, he finally got a suitable opportunity.

After briefly talking about division of labor and cooperation, the three of them stood next to the blueprint of the giant ship and began to comment on it.

“If this thing can really be built and can fly in the air like Mr. Li designed, I can’t imagine what the future will be like!”

"Li's weird ideas always give people surprises."

“I hope our ability can support such a great project!”

The three partners who were about to complete the project gathered together and shouted slogans. After the preliminary mobilization was completed, the next step was a long work process.

However, just when the three thought that they were the only main participants in this project, an unexpected person suddenly visited.

"Norton! I finally found you!"

Norton was stunned when he saw the person coming. He looked at Simon in disbelief.

"Simon! Why are you here? Aren't you..."

Norton still remembers how hurtful Simon's words were when they had a conflict.

Why was Simon so enthusiastic when I saw him again after a few days?

"Norton, you know that I was going through a low point before. What I said at that time was not through my brain. I know that my words hurt your heart. I ask for your forgiveness, Norton!"

After seeing Norton, Simon greeted Norton enthusiastically. He wanted to hug Norton, but Norton avoided him.

"Oh! Norton, I know you won't forgive me, but I sincerely apologize to you. I am willing to atone for the mistakes I made before until you see the real me!"

Norton's cheek twitched and he looked at Simon as if he were a monster.

Jacob and Amber were both looking at the two of them with strange eyes, and Norton felt a chill down his spine.

Norton didn't want to be seen as a passionate man by others. He apologized to Jacob and Amber and pulled Simon to the corner of the corridor.

"Simon, you don't want to have any contact with Li anymore, so why did you come back to this castle?"

"…Norton, after you left, I thought seriously about why I failed. I think you are right. I lack patience and refuse to accept my own weakness. Now that I am back, I will face failure sincerely, correct my mistakes bit by bit, and strengthen myself bit by bit. Norton, will you continue to support me?"

Simon's words were very sincere, and Norton was also very pleased that Simon could achieve such growth.

However, Norton felt a little puzzled. How could Simon, who had always been conceited, figure out all these things?

"Norton, the opportunity that Vizor Lee left behind was for us. Shouldn't you introduce him to me?"

"Hey... follow me."

After Norton and Simon finished their conversation, they walked side by side to Jacob and Amber, just like they did when they worked together before.

"Ahem~ Please allow me to introduce this person next to me, Simon, a knight who has had in-depth cooperation with Mr. Li before. I think you have all heard of his name."

"I'm Simon, nice to meet you two~"

Simon smiled and greeted warmly.
