The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 478 Hiding in the Shadows

Whoosh~Pah~

A ball of fire shot out from Jacob's hand and hit the wooden target at the other end of the clearing.

The wooden target could not withstand the scorching flames and collapsed after a few seconds.

The magic flame burned very quickly, and the piece of wood turned into ashes in a short while, as if it was poured with fuel.

"awesome!"

Jacob looked at his palm, unable to let it go as if it were a treasure.

Jacob's eyes, as if he wanted to marry his own hand, frightened the servants around him so much that they dared not approach him.

Jacob was very happy. He only learned the most basic fire magic and could launch impressive fireballs.

"I'm already looking forward to what it will be like after I master the black magic!"

Archmage Yodel promised to teach Jacob more sophisticated dark magic in the future. Jacob began to imagine himself becoming the second Weiser Lee, stirring up trouble in the kingdom!

"Jacob? Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine, just thinking of something happy."

When Li found Jacob, he saw him sitting on the sofa, grinning foolishly.

Jacob laughed so hard that Lee felt uncomfortable and his hair stood on end.

"Jacob, how is the implementation of the things I asked you to arrange?"

Seeing that Li was right in front of him, Jacob quickly calmed down. Jacob didn't want Li to realize that he had betrayed him.

"Oh, you're talking about organizing a foundation. Those magicians did agree to this plan!"

Jacob pretended to sit down and told Li about his experience of working hard on this matter.

"You don't know, those magicians are very powerful. They will kill people if they don't agree with them! I was almost scared to death when I talked to them!"

Jacob had really been threatened, so when he told Li the story, he was very emotional.

Li did not notice anything unusual. When he heard that the magician of the Eye of Truth was going to move into Jacob's territory and set up the Eye of Truth Foundation, Li was very happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jacob. I will always remember your efforts. We are currently researching powerful magic devices that ordinary people can use. When the time comes, I will send you some to satisfy your cravings~"

"Oh~ I'm looking forward to it!"

Jacob, with a smile on his face, sent Li out the door. After making sure that Li was far away, a man walked out from the shadow of the room.

The old wizard Yodel’s technique of integrating shadows is even more advanced than Lee’s.

He was standing behind Li just now, but Li didn't notice it at all.

"Jacob, you've done a great job. When I get rid of Vizar Lee, the Northland will be handed over to you to manage."

"Thank you Lord Yodel for your trust. The North will become the cornerstone of the Eye of Truth's dominance over the world!"

Jacob knelt on the ground respectfully and kissed the ground eagerly. He had now been trained to be a qualified servant.

Yodel conquered Jacob easily, just as he had conquered those who disobeyed him in the past.

This also made Yodel look down on Lee.

Yodel stayed in Jacob's room until midnight. After teaching Jacob a magic to transform shadows into magic balls, Yodel left with a look of disdain on his face.

"What a stupid lowly person, he was so grateful for a little magic..."

In the middle of his words, Yodel suddenly stopped and looked back at the darkness in the distance.

There was nothing in the dark shadows in his sight, but Yodel's years of experience in survival told him that someone was staring at him from behind.

Yodel was carefree in front of Jacob, but at this moment he was very cautious and did not dare to relax.

A person who could hide from his perception was enough to make Yodel alert.

Yodel stood there for more than ten minutes, casting magic all the time.

Dark magic, earth magic, wind magic, and several kinds of defensive magic were superimposed together, covering Yodel's body like a turtle shell.

"Come out, kid, I guess it's you!"

As Yodel finished his words, Li, who was hiding in the darkness, slowly revealed his figure.

Lee suddenly appeared as if from a painting, tore off his disguise, and stood in front of Yodel.

"Old man, you are really good at detecting me~"

Yodel was upset. He didn't take Li seriously at first, but ended up being cornered by Li. If this matter were to get out, Yodel would be very embarrassed.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the night and there was no one around.

"Weize Li! I didn't expect that despite the loss of the inheritance, you could still practice dark magic to this level. I admit that I underestimated you!"

Yodel raised his staff and released a shadow orb in Lee's direction.

The ball hit Li's body at an extremely fast speed, directly shattering Li's chest.

Li groaned, and his whole body turned into plasticine, constantly condensing and reorganizing, repairing the wounds caused by the explosion of the magic ball.

"Old fellow from the Eye of Truth, it's fine if you hide in the shadows and do things, but now you want to jump out into the open, who gives you the courage!"

Li stomped his feet, and several humps of earth rose up on the ground beside him.

As the soil fell, several skeletons emitting white light, brandishing swords, rushed towards Yodel.

Li is very proficient in how to fight against mages. As long as he calls on a few more helpers and destroys the wizard's casting environment, he can be invincible!

"Undead beings I have awakened, attack the enemy before you!"

Li commanded the skeletons to attack Yodel, and Yodel naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

A circle of cold air spread out from Yodel at the center.

After the skeletons came into contact with the Frost Nova, they slowed down and were frozen into lumps of ice.

Seeing this, Li took out two flame coins from his waist, pulled out the safety, and threw them directly at the frozen skeleton.

The heat wave melted the ice, and the skeletons resumed their movement, continuing to pounce on Yodel.

"Don't eat the sour radish! Weize Li! You have no martial ethics! How can you use props during a magic battle!"

Hearing Yodel's slightly panicked shout, Li reached into his arms and pulled out a pistol.

"Magic battle? Magic is not as useful as this!"

With a bang, a gunshot rang out, and light burst out from Yodel's body. The magic shield he had built for himself before the battle was half broken by the bullet.

Cold sweat streamed down Yodel's face. He hadn't fought for a long time and he was not used to this fast-paced confrontation!

"Damn it, my servant, come and help me!"

As Yodel finished his words, a figure rushed over from a distance and blocked the second shot for Yodel.

Li looked carefully and found that the person who rushed over to block the bullet for the old wizard was the businessman Jacob.

Li was shocked.

"Jacob! What are you doing jumping out like that?!"

Jacob was shot in the chest and the pain made him unable to make a sound.

Jacob frowned and cursed in his heart.

You two bastards, you just want to fight in the middle of the night, and even call me out to block the bullets, you two beasts!
