The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 369 is just a huge makeshift team

Having Lilith as an opponent on the chessboard taught the old king a lesson.

Old people should not play fast chess with young people!

After the game of chess, the king lost as expected. However, losing the game was not a big deal. The old king just felt that he was exhausted and his eyelids were drooping, and he wanted to sleep.

Seeing that the king was in a bad mood, Lilith apologized on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart.

So what if he is a king? He cannot escape the ravages of time. The great king has become the old man he is today.

"Your Majesty, do you still count what you said before?"

"What's the matter?"

"As long as the vampires support you, give us the land!"

The old king nodded and casually pointed to the map on the wall behind him.

"Outside the capital, you can choose any place that is deserted. As for how big a piece of land you can choose, it depends on how much the vampires will do for me."

Lilith left the tired king and walked to the map covered with small flags.

Through the complex symbols on the map, Lilith quickly grasped the current situation of the kingdom.

The situation in the capital was no different from a few years ago, except for a few nobles being expelled from the kingdom.

Lilith focused on the situation in the North.

On this map, the power of the North is stronger than ever before, so strong that even Lilith, who came from the North, can hardly believe it.

“…Can the North really gather the strength to fight against the Kingdom?”

"I don't quite believe it either, but that's what Li said. The Northland is still a little short of attacking outward. If it's on the defensive, no one can break through the Northland's defenses."

The old king rubbed his forehead and talked with Lilith about the situation in the North.

After hearing the old king's description and thinking carefully about the situation in the north, Lilith looked at the densely packed small flags on the map.

"Brother Li is bragging."

A lot of people did gather in the North, especially the nobles who came from the capital.

After these nobles came to the North, they still wanted to maintain the system of the capital and take all the benefits into their own hands.

If it weren't for the pressure from the Freyr family and the support from the Dalai family, Aunt Rose's position as governor might have been lost.

Lilith would hear Aunt Rose cursing almost every day, and everyone was also complaining about how Li left a mess behind and ran off to the capital alone to live a carefree life.

"...Ms. Lilith, considering your relationship with Li, it's inappropriate to say such things!"

"Brother Li is just bragging!"

The old king was stunned. He didn't expect Lilith would ruin Li's plan.

The king opened his mouth and finally uttered a word.

"It's a possible lie that could come true, so it's worth treating with caution."

Lilith nodded, agreeing with the king's judgment.

The situation in the North is falling into unprecedented chaos. At the same time, the North also has countless possibilities.

Lilith couldn't figure out the next development direction of the Northland, but she knew that Li must have his plans.

Lilith felt that she also needed to achieve something so that she would have more capital to deal with future events.

"Your Majesty, leave the communication with the vampires to me, but if you want them to obey you, you have to give me some support!"

"Of course. I will appoint you as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. You will have the right to mobilize a team of royal troops, and there will also be a team of mages to support your actions~"

As the king finished speaking, the light from the window on the side of the room suddenly dimmed.

A twisted shadow came in from outside and condensed into the shape of a human like black plasticine.

"The leader of the Secret Order, Vizar Lei, pays respect to His Majesty the King."

Lilith covered her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect to see any members of Weize other than Lee.

I heard that the Weize members in the royal capital have a bad relationship with the Li family who were driven to the border. Will the other party refuse to cooperate with me because of this?

Lilith was obviously overthinking.

"Ms. Lilith, according to blood relationship, you should call me uncle~"

Lei took the initiative to express his goodwill, which put Lilith at ease.

Lilith was even more confused, but at the same time, she also bowed and greeted seriously.

"You two can discuss your relationship privately. Now, get to work!"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Great King!"

Lilith came outside with a dazed look in her eyes, holding the short robe for court officials given by the king.

Lei, who came out with her, smiled proudly when he saw this.

"Did you never dream that you would be crowned by the king?"

Lilith nodded. Until now, she still felt magical about her experience that day.

"I thought the king would be more cautious and have more plans..."

"If you interact with the king more, you will find that most of the time, the king makes decisions on the spur of the moment. He is no different from those drunkards who like to brag at the gambling table. Li once said that the world is a huge makeshift team, and I strongly agree with this!"

Lei was in a good mood today. He was emotionally stable when dealing with Lilith and showed the kind attitude of an elder.

Lilith felt Lei's thoughtfulness and bowed again to express her gratitude.

"There's no need to thank me too much. I only acted with you because I knew you had a good relationship with Li."

Lei stopped Lilith from continuing her polite conversation and took her to the secret society's base in the royal palace.

Thanks to Li's help in resolving some of Lei's concerns, the secret society's base is no longer as eerie as before.

When Lilith entered the secret society's base, she saw only busy staff members.

They all wore masks on their faces, so you couldn't see their expressions, but you could feel that they were in a good mood.

Lilith glanced at the words on the document from a staff member passing by.

"Mr. Lei, will the secret society investigate the elves?"

"I am investigating the elves. This is an abuse of power. Don't go out and say anything."

Lei held up a finger and winked at Lilith.

Lilith was immediately disgusted by the greasy uncle in front of her.

Because the secret society’s latest mission is to collect information about elves.

These tasks were so simple and easy that the atmosphere inside the secret order became relaxed and pleasant.

"Sir, this is the information you want!"

A staff member brought a thick document to Lei, who took it and divided it into two parts.

Among them was a thick stack containing information about elves. Lei used wind magic to hold it up and studied it carefully, as if he was a great magician immersed in research.

Two more pages of paper were passed to Lilith.

Lilith took it and saw that it contained information about vampires.

"The king asked the Secret Order to monitor the vampires a long time ago. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find the vampire base. Now, this difficult task is handed over to you."

Lei's eyes were still focused on the information about the elves, and he was not at all concerned about the task of tracking down vampires.

Lilith knew Lei's attitude and felt relieved.

It’s better if Lei doesn’t take it too seriously. Without anyone supervising her, Lilith can do things at her own pace.

"Mr. Lei, if I find the vampire's nest, I need help..."

"The Conclave will ensure your safety and support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lei!"
