The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 487 Seeing Heaven

Everyone worships divine power. Just raising your hands can create miracles and resurrect the dead. This kind of power makes mortals pursue and fascinated.

The people who had seen the glory of that day could not wait to share their experiences with their friends, as well as the miraculous spell chanted by the Saint that day.

People began to spread the name of the saint and placed the responsibility of saving the world on her shoulders.

But no one noticed it at all, and the saint tried to explain countless times.

The miracle was not hers at all.

The people who were rescued that day were not heroes who died in battle.

The truth is that a nun from the north used my power of thinking to secretly resurrect an undead wizard.

Saint Mary tried to explain countless times, but no one listened to her. Even if someone heard it, they just laughed it off.

People are willing to believe what they want to believe.

Rather than the truth.

"Cool~ Have we finally arrived at the city where the Saint is? Look at that building, it's the most beautiful building I've ever seen!"

A group of young people jumped out of the truck and happily pointed at the hospital in the distance and discussed.

The man in the driver's seat slowly opened the car door.

Looking at the group of young people jumping and making noise around him, the man remembered his past self.

It is a chaotic region, but also a region full of opportunities. Throw yourself into it and try to change your own destiny.

"Mr. Jacob! Thank you for bringing us here!"

The young people who came from the countryside saw the prosperity of the central part of the kingdom for the first time. Especially after they heard the rumors about Saint Mary on the road, their longing for this place became stronger.

"Okay guys, we can go sightseeing anytime, let's go fill our bellies first~"

Jacob led the boys to the restaurant, a fast-food restaurant that served working people and provided large, filling meals at low prices.

The boys, who were entering a large fast food restaurant for the first time, all opened their eyes wide.

Clean and tidy dining tables, translucent glass with paper flowers on it, service staff all wearing uniform, and dishes that look delicious!

"Oh my God, this is heaven!"

The boys all ran to the food pick-up area and lined up. They imitated the city people and stood in a row meticulously.

Mr. Jacob had taught them that abiding by order was a virtue of city folk, and they studied hard, proving that they were also people of high moral character.

A person of noble character, how incredible it sounds!

It's amazing that these guys, a group of peasants from the countryside, could receive such high praise!

"Mr. Jacob, do you need me to help you get your food?"

When everyone was lining up to get their share of food, a boy took the initiative to walk up to Jacob.

Looking at Jacob who was paying, the boy with red face felt embarrassed.

"Kid, fill your stomach and stop hanging around in front of me."

"But Mr. Jacob, we are already indebted to you for being able to ride in your car. I don't know how I can repay you!"

Jacob not only allowed the boys to ride in his car, but also provided them with meals.

The care they received along the way made the boys develop a family-like relationship with Jacob.

According to the boys, Jacob was like an uncle to them.

"You don't have to do anything, just be obedient. Now, go eat!"

At Jacob's request, the boy, who wanted to repay the favor, reluctantly walked towards the position.

"Ethan! Stop staring, these things are super delicious. If you don't eat them, I'll fork the sweet potatoes off your plate!"

Hearing his companion's impolite voice, Ethan immediately protected his plate.

Even so, Ethan subconsciously looked in Jacob's direction.

Jacob found a narrow corner seat by himself. He ordered only the most basic bread and ate it slowly with a bowl of broth.

Jacob's food was not as good as that of us. The meal was clearly paid for by Mr. Jacob, and we should not enjoy such treatment!

Ethan, who was more thoughtful than his companions, became a little upset, and the originally delicious food lost some of its flavor in his mouth.

"Ethan, what's wrong with you? You are a boy, you can't be hesitant!"

A boy older than Ethan criticized Ethan's character, and Ethan almost punched him.

"Hey, I'm just worried that we're putting too much burden on Mr. Jacob!"

"Ethan, you're just thinking too much. Mr. Jacob is a businessman. He brought us to the city and will earn a commission from us!"

When Ethan heard his companion mention the commission, he immediately lowered his head.

These young people would leave the village and run to the city in order to find a decent job in the city.

Since the unrest in the central part of the kingdom, staying in the village to farm has become the most risky profession.

On the contrary, workers who enter major factories earlier have more secure income and safety.

The emerging profession of worker naturally became synonymous with the superior people.

Although there are factory owners, lords, nobles and so on above the workers, no one cares about the specific details.

"Perhaps you are right."

After dinner, Jacob allowed the boys to move around and told them to meet at the car in an hour.

The boys immediately ran to the most conspicuous hospital in the city, trying to catch a glimpse of the Saint's miracle.

Only Ethan chose to stay with Jacob. Even though Jacob was cold towards him, Ethan still did not leave.

"…Boy, you are very similar to me, you have a delicate heart. It's a pity that you are still too young and don't understand the wickedness of human heart."

"Mr. Jacob? Are you talking about selling us to the factory? In fact, as long as we can join a factory, even if we are sold into it, it is something worth being happy about for us."

Ethan told Jacob about his own village, a small village with less than twenty households. It didn't even have a decent fence, and wild beasts and monsters would cause them huge losses every now and then.

What’s even more frightening is that there are now many unknown rent collectors and troops passing through the village frequently.

Ethan told Jacob about his experiences and his vision for the factory.

"I heard that the factory is full of huge machines, doing things that are difficult for human power to do. Mr. Jacob, are these rumors true?"

"Huh~ it's true."

Jacob responded briefly, mostly just listening quietly.

Ethan is a very eloquent young man who can tell boring country stories in a vivid way.

If Ethan had become a bard or a writer, he might have quickly become a successful person.

Working illegally in a factory is obviously not suitable for him.

“…Ethan, maybe you could reconsider.”

"No, joining the factory and earning money to buy food and pay taxes is what I need most now!"

Jacob looked at the boy's resolute face that showed his courage to take responsibility, and remained silent for a long time.
