The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 477 Loyal Servant

After Jacob came back from Li, he immediately opened the secret letter written by Li.

When Lee conveys information to others, he focuses on explaining the significance of each step and what to do if things go wrong.

But the letters to Jacob were very brief, because Lee believed that with Jacob's keen business acumen, he could correct the mistakes in his actions himself.

Jacob was satisfied with Lee's trust in his abilities, but also dissatisfied with Lee's neglect of him.

Jacob felt that he had never been able to step into Li's circle, and the two sides now only had a simple cooperative relationship.

Jacob wanted to go further, take charge of more affairs, and give full play to his talents.

But Lee only let Jacob get involved in business matters, military affairs and power, and didn't let Jacob touch anything at all.

"…pool the funds and invest in construction in the name of the foundation?"

Jacob held the letter close to the candlestick and let the flames engulf it.

After burning, part of the ashes fell to the ground, and part of them were suspended in the air due to the disturbance of air flow.

Jacob looked at the flying ashes and saw that they were floating aimlessly like himself. Jacob's thoughts became very complicated.

After opening the window to let the burning smell in the house dissipate, Jacob sat back on the sofa, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Jacob, who had been thinking all the time, fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw the old wizard in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes.

The old wizard was still wearing a black robe, and the loose clothing covered his entire body, leaving only his weathered face and fingers that were like dead branches.

In the old wizard's skinny fingers, there was a piece of letter paper that Jacob was very familiar with.

"Establishing a foundation and walking in the world under the name of the foundation? What an interesting idea, don't you think, businessman Jacob!"

A powerful force came over him, pressing Jacob down on the sofa, unable to move.

Jacob's pupils trembled. He couldn't believe that the letter he burned would appear intact in the old wizard's hands.

"Ah, respected magician, I..."

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the organizer of the Eye of Truth, the master of dark magic, and the most outstanding inheritor of the kingdom's magic secrets, Thanatos Yodel!"

Jacob's pupils dilated and his whole body began to tremble.

Thanatos is the title of the legendary god of death. Although the god of death is no longer mentioned after the goddess of light became popular, this character still appears in some fables.

The reaper of life, the god of death, is that the old man in front of me?

Of course, the other party could not be a god who held the power over death, but the fact that Yodel dared to use the title of the god of death meant that he had great magical powers, and crushing ordinary people was as easy as the god of death taking lives.

Jacob wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. He didn't want to die in such an unclear way.

The next moment, the pressure on Jacob disappeared, and Yodel put away his dangerous magic.

"Mr. Jacob, now you should understand the gap between us~"

Facing the old Yodel, Jacob had no intention of resisting.

Li also possesses strange methods, but Li is a reasonable person. Compared with him, Yodel in front of him is simply a devil.

Yodel clearly told Jacob that he just wanted to use him, but Jacob didn't dare to refuse. This is really stupid.

After Yodel let Jacob go, he picked up the paper Lee had written on again.

"The method provided by Wei Ze Li is very good. We plan to set up an Eye of Truth Foundation according to the above strategy. Mr. Jacob, you will handle the specific matters. Is that ok?"

Jacob nodded slowly, fearing that if he agreed a second later, he would lose his life.

But Jacob was also confused. Yodel clearly knew that the Foundation's plan was a means to trap them, so why did Yodel still fall into the trap?

Yodel saw through Jacob's doubts at a glance. He was in a good mood today and was willing to answer Jacob's questions.

"Mr. Jacob, Vizor Lee can dominate the business and your future, but I can dominate the life and death of you and Vizor Lee!"

The reason why Yodel was so confident and followed Li's plan was because he believed in his own strength.

He believed that a mere young necromancer would not be a match for an old senior like him!

"Master Yodel, Vizor Lee..."

According to Jacob's idea, he couldn't afford to offend either Lee or Yodel in front of him.

Jacob wanted to persuade Yodel that there was no need to confront Lee.

However, before Jacob could finish his words, Yodel grabbed Jacob's mouth.

In Jacob's panicked eyes, Yodel took out a bottle of potion from his robe. The potion, which was flashing with a dangerous blood-red luster, swayed back and forth in front of Jacob's eyes.

"What are you going to do..."

Jacob was unable to break free from Yodel's control, and a large bottle of potion was poured into Jacob's throat.

The glass bottle fell to the ground and shattered. Jacob dug his throat with his hands, but he couldn't spit out anything.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little potion. It can make you feel the real world~"

Jacob's heart was filled with pain and despair. The old wizard in front of him was such a ruthless person that he wanted to kill him directly!

The expanding force in his body tore at his internal organs and muscles, and Jacob felt like he was about to explode.

Yodel released his magic power and slowly adjusted the violent magic in Jacob's body. Jacob was struggling on the verge of death.

A few hours passed, and Yodel very patiently helped Jacob stabilize his body. Jacob, who was breathing heavily like a dead fish, crawled at Yodel's feet.

Jacob did not die, the potion transformed Jacob's body.

Jacob was originally just an ordinary businessman, but now he can feel the magic floating in the air.

Jacob was transformed into a magician in this way, and when he came to his senses, he could not believe the changes that had taken place in him.

"With this abundant magical power, can I use magic now?"

Becoming a magician meant that Jacob could leave the merchant class and truly enter the aristocracy.

Jacob had dreamed before that he could be like those wizards and create extraordinary effects with just a wave of his hand.

The magic props made by Li gave Jacob hope, and now, Yodel's potion directly completed the impossible change.

"Mr. Jacob, now you can understand how great our Eye of Truth is~"

"Understood! I understand! I am willing to swear allegiance to the great Thanatos Yodel. You have bestowed upon me great magical power, and I will repay you with all that I have! From now on, I will be your loyal servant!"

Seeing Jacob bow his head in front of him and kiss the ground under his feet, Yodel felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

"Eye of Truth, it should have been like this a long time ago. It has been hidden for so many years, and so much time has been wasted~"
