The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 530 Professionalism

Muller thought that the changes in the king would make him a different person.

Twenty years is enough to turn a former relationship into a shattered bubble.

But this time when he came back, after just communicating with the old king for a while, Muller regained the feeling when they first got along.

Once upon a time, his Majesty the King was full of passion and wanted to lead the kingdom to prosperity.

Once, Muller naively picked up his sword, followed the team at the end, and rushed into the palace inexplicably.

A lot of things have changed, and a lot of things have not changed.

The King has not changed, which is a happy fact.

"Your Majesty, I want to know what you and Vizar Lee agreed on."

The two men stood beside the warhorse and watched it chew the most gorgeous light pink double-petaled rose into crumbs.

This is a high-end variety also known as the Classical Beauty, and there are only a few of these high-value species in the entire palace.

The king felt a pain on his face, but he could only pretend not to care and continued the topic lightly.

"Weiser Lee? He's your son-in-law."

The old king heard an awkward emotion in Muller's tone. News had already been passed to the king, indicating that Li had been in the port city for the past few months.

According to Lee's communication skills, Muller should have been very happy to be coaxed by Lee, but the king saw full of resentment from Muller's expression.

"Your Majesty, I have never agreed to this matter! This time I came back to take care of my daughter's marriage."

"You... it's up to you."

The king originally thought that by marrying Lee into the Freyr family, he would be putting an extra shackle on Lee.

Seeing that Muller was disgusted by this matter, the old king did not try to persuade him any further.

"Ahem~ The agreement between me and Li is very simple. We will work together to make the kingdom stronger and strive to give the kingdom the power to counterattack the southern continent before I die."

The king didn't care whether he lived or died. What he cared about was that after he died, no one would be able to lead the human race back to the southern continent.

Mueller also didn't expect that the agreement between the king and Lee would be like this.

Mueller was shocked and understood the reason for the kingdom's rapid change.

However, can what the kingdom is doing now really achieve the expected results?

In other words, can Li's novel ideas really make the kingdom stronger?

Mueller never believed in Lee because he was too young.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing in this world that is guaranteed to succeed. We cannot trust all of Li's promises! Moreover, even if we really gather enough strength to counterattack the Southern Continent, we will still have conflicts with Li after we fight back!"

The kingdom is now in the midst of a civil war, with the North and South camps fighting each other fiercely.

Muller believes that it is more important to resolve the kingdom's internal problems before counterattacking the southern continent.

"General Mueller, I don't have much time left. I won't see the day you said. Even if the kingdom is really forced to split because of Li's existence, it is better than being occupied by demons, don't you think?"

After the old king came into contact with Li, he realized that time was of the essence.

As for the flood after his death, let future generations solve it!

"Your Majesty! This is too radical. The kingdom cannot afford to fail. We don't have another chance!"

The old king knew Muller's concerns because he had thought the same thing before.

"General Muller, how long do you want to wait to solve the problem? Wait until my unfilial son Leon becomes king? Wait until loyal knights like you are too old to hold swords or guns? Wake up, Muller, we can only seize the opportunity at hand and do as much as possible. Don't leave the problem to our descendants!"

Muller was overwhelmed by the momentum released by the king. Muller did not expect the king's determination to be so strong.

The King had decided and taken this step, and Muller knew it was too late to put the brakes on.

"Your Majesty, now that you have made your decision, I will do my best to make your wish come true!"

"Thank you, General Mueller! In fact, the hope is greater than you think. Li has brought me many surprises, and I believe you will like those surprises too."

"…Your Majesty, I will see for myself the surprise you mentioned!"

The king's health was declining rapidly. After just chatting with Muller for a while, he felt tired and wanted to rest.

Muller took the greedy horse and the two of them staggered away from the palace.

Having not been back for a long time, Muller had forgotten the layout of the royal capital. He led his horse through two streets and, as expected, got lost.

Just as Muller was about to ask the patrolling soldiers for directions to Freyr's residence, a young female affairs officer came up to Muller.

"…If I'm not mistaken, you are Lilith."

Lilith in front of Muller was wearing the summer uniform of a palace official. Unlike the others, she did not wear a cold-proof coat to cover her body, which made people involuntarily attracted by her light outfit.

Wearing summer clothes on the cold street is definitely not an ordinary person. Muller judged that she was a vampire at a glance.

"Ah... No, I am Lilith's subordinate, and the commander would like to invite you to the car for a chat."

The woman was able to speak normally at first, but soon she held her shoulders and trembled.

Mueller followed the girl's gaze and noticed a strange-looking car parked at the corner of the street.

This vehicle is much rounder than the transport vehicle Muller had ridden in, and appears smaller and more delicate overall.

"So, you're not Lilith? Then why are you wearing so little?"

Mueller frowned, finding it incomprehensible that people would wear summer clothes in the middle of winter.

The female officer could only smile in response.

The officer smiled on the surface, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Nowadays, the palace officials can travel by car and return to the office after leaving the car. There is no need for heavy coats to keep warm.

Muller, whose ideas were outdated, had no idea about women's love of beauty.

Following her instructions, Mueller came to the car called a sedan, and the door opened, revealing a slightly narrow space inside.

Mueller, wearing armor, had some difficulty getting into the car.

The cold aura he exuded made the girls in the car look disgusted.

This was a six-seater car, and apart from the driver and Mueller, there were only three female affairs officers in the car.

Excluding the woman who claimed to be his subordinate, Mueller quickly determined that the white-haired woman holding the document opposite him was Miss Lilith whom he had heard of.

Lilith kept her head down, holding a strange pen that did not need to be dipped in ink, and corrected documents on the fixed table in the car.

Mueller noticed that Lilith's eyes were flashing blood red, which was the natural effect of casting vampire blood magic.

Use magic to enhance the focus of your eyes?

Mueller was a little confused. Was Lilith doing this on purpose for him to see, or was she really too busy with so many things to do?

"Miss Lilith?"

"Grand Duke Freyr, thank you very much for your presence. I asked you to come here today because I only need your help with one thing."

Lilith didn't even raise her head and said a lot of babble, leaving Mueller confused.

"Looking for my help?"

"Yes, I want you to test a batch of weapons. You are a famous knight in the kingdom, so you will definitely be able to do this job!"

"Ha... I thought you asked me to come here to talk about Vizor Lee."

"Hmm? What does this have to do with Li...Grand Duke Freyr, please respect my profession!"
