The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 506 I'm Not a Wishing Machine

A smooth fruit core flew through the air, hit the window frame and bounced back into the house. Amber, who spit out the fruit core, frowned, raised her finger, and the air flow blew the fruit core and threw it out of the window.

It has been several days since she left the North. Without the pressure of the research institute's tasks, Amber felt relaxed for the first time in a long time.

With delicious meals provided by Li, and snacks and fruits on weekdays, Amber soon sank into this decadent life and could no longer muster up any energy.

"Aunt Amber, you weren't like this before. Why are you so listless now?"

"Alas, I'm old now. No one loves me. What else can I do except eat and drink?"

Li's face twitched and his impression of Amber changed again.

Li clearly remembered that Amber was not like this before. Her pursuit of magic and justice overshadowed her own.

"Magic? Justice? What year is that? I evolved a long time ago!"

Amber controlled magic, cut the juicy cucumber slices into slices, and lightly placed them on her face.

Li didn't interrupt her anymore and got straight to business.

"Aunt Amber, I have a research project and I would like your help."

"Oh? Is it the new communicator design or the shell structure diagram?"

"neither."

Li winked at Amber, and Amber hooked her fingers helplessly.

The fruit plate and snacks on the coffee table were all suspended in the air. Li ignored the clutter in front of him and placed a large drawing on the empty coffee table.

Amber tilted her head and took a look, which immediately frightened her.

Amber fell off the sofa with a thud and looked at the drawings that Li had spread out in disbelief.

"You might as well just kill me if you ask me to do this!"

"Well, this thing only looks scary, but there's not much to think about."

Spread out on the coffee table was a blueprint of a huge battleship.

The kingdom has no navy; all navies were destroyed when they migrated from the southern continent.

The only shipbuilding technology the kingdom currently possesses is large sailing ships that can float on inland rivers.

But the common sailing ships in the kingdom were only about fifty meters long, and the largest royal warships were a hundred meters long, but they had long since rotted in the river port.

"You're asking me to build a 200-meter-long ship. Are you kidding me? I'm a magician, not a shipbuilder, and certainly not a wish-granting machine!"

These were not the reasons that drove Amber crazy. What was most difficult for Amber to accept was the strange names written on the drawings given by Li.

"What the hell is a flying ship? You don't want to let this big thing float in the air, do you? You are murdering the magician, do you know that?"

It's just floating a few fruit plates, an apprentice wizard can do it after training.

But if there is a floating giant ship, Amber can directly hit Li on the forehead with this giant ship!

"You don't need to be responsible for the flight power of this giant ship. I just want you to find a way to add weapons to it, such as a giant cannon that can be enlarged dozens of times, and a ray weapon that can attack the ground from high altitude..."

Before Li could finish his request, he was interrupted by Xiaoli who broke in.

Xiaoli rarely suddenly interferes with Li's affairs. When Li turned around and saw Xiaoli's impatient face, he knew that she brought bad news.

"Aunt Amber, I'm leaving this matter to you. Jacob will be in charge of the shipbuilding. Just cooperate with him!"

Li and Xiaoli left the room, talking eagerly as they walked.

"what happen?"

"Simon wrote to me and said he was in trouble!"

"Simon, what trouble could he get into?"

"It's said to be a demon!"

Li's eyes widened and he sped up again.

Xiaoli had to walk quickly and jog at the same time to keep up with Li's pace.

The two of them went to the reception room together and saw Sir Norton pacing around.

"Sir Norton? How did Simon get involved with the devil?"

Fat Norton was already sweating all over. He wiped the sweat off his face while opening the box he had brought.

Li leaned over to take a look, and the demon head with horns gave Li a death stare.

"Hiss~ What kind of evil taste is this, Norton, are you going to give me a head?"

Seeing Li questioning, Norton immediately explained.

"This is, Simon..."

"He's Simon! Simon is dead!"

Li stared with eyes wide open, not understanding why Simon turned into a demon and had his head cut off and put into a box.

"No, this man is Simon's most trusted lieutenant!"

Li closed his mouth and glared at Norton speechlessly.

Why was the fat man breathing so heavily while speaking? Li thought Simon had met with an accident and was killed.

"This is what happened..."

A few days ago, Li arranged for the revolutionary army to enter and interrupted the support for Simon.

Simon was forced to withdraw his troops and return to his territory without leaving.

"Mr. Li cut off his support for us. Simon was very unhappy. We tried to make weapons ourselves, but the logistics and resources were not up to par. Just when we were at our wits' end, a strange man came to us."

Simon had fought back and forth with the noble coalition in the early stages, so naturally he didn't want to leave the stage so lightly.

Simon pulled Norton and tried to find a way to maintain the state of war. At this time, he met a businessman who came to sell his products to him.

"That person was just like Mr. Jacob. He said confidently that he could help us solve the problem. Because we had experience once before, we all believed what he said."

Norton felt a little embarrassed when he talked about this.

Because judging from common sense, anyone who approaches Simon at this time must have a special purpose.

As a result, Simon did not do much research, and Norton subconsciously took a gamble because he did not want to miss the opportunity.

Seeing Norton's shy apology, Li pressed his nose helplessly.

He told Simon very clearly at the time that the scale of the war would expand, and Simon's small territory alone would not be able to support the subsequent situation.

Li would arrange a more suitable position for Simon, but Simon himself couldn't bear it anymore.

"You guys deserve this?"

"Yes, yes, it's us who are greedy and we are asking for trouble, but Mr. Li, we had a good cooperation before, you can't just watch us get bullied and do nothing!"

Norton played the emotional card again, which made Lee even more annoyed.

But Li is now investigating the matter of the devil's potion, and this time the breakthrough may very well be on Simon's side.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the details!"

"Okay, that person claims to be the magician of the Eye of Truth. He can sell us a potion that can enhance our physical strength. We have tried it with the soldiers and found that this potion is indeed effective and quite cheap."

Slaves and peasants who take the potion will become as strong as knights. After drinking the potion, the deputy in the box beat his master Simon without any chance of fighting back.

"Simon also wanted to drink the potion. I was a little worried, so I asked him to observe for a few more days. The result was like this."

A few days before drinking the potion, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and took the initiative to ask Simon to take them to the battlefield.

Simon was very happy and asked Norton to help him collect supplies, which took several days.

Fortunately, due to logistical delays, the soldiers who suddenly turned into demons only killed their companions and did not cause greater chaos.

"What about Simon? What is he doing now?"

"Simon has sealed off the castle and is clearing out the demons in the territory..."

"Simon must be very happy to kill his own soldiers~"

"Mr. Li, it's already this time, please stop making sarcastic remarks!"
