The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 456: Saving the dying and healing the wounded, bringing the dead back to health

"A ray gun made in Simon's territory! Only twenty-five copper coins!"

"Ray guns produced by Count Lucy, thirty copper coins each."

The border village between Lucy's territory and Simon's territory has become a showcase for the arms race.

The ray guns produced in the North are of better quality after all, but the ray guns from Simon Territory have also won the market with their good quality and low price.

Lucy followed Li's request and did not engage in a price war with Simon. Both parties bought their own products and did not disturb each other.

"Lord Simon, can your ray gun be a little cheaper? As long as your stuff is cheap, we promise to buy all your goods!"

Some nobles who wanted to arm the militia came to Simon's territory to negotiate. They wanted to gain benefits from it, so they began to encourage Simon to lower the price.

However, Simon, with Norton's support, is not stupid.

"What are you talking about? Ray guns are not difficult to manufacture. As long as you hire a good magician and set up a production line, you can easily make a bunch of them. You should have tried it. Twenty-five copper coins are close to the cost. If it's any lower, you will lose money."

It is precisely because most nobles have tried to produce it themselves that they will give up the idea of ​​producing it themselves.

Lucy and Simon have already seized the initiative, and the market has been divided up between the two companies. At this time, if anyone still wants to produce ray guns, they will not be able to compete with them in terms of quality or price.

At this time, if Simon and Lucy could be persuaded to engage in a price war, the only beneficiaries would be those who wanted to buy ray guns in bulk.

"Simon, you have to know that a unique business is the most profitable. First, drive Count Lucy out of the ray gun market, and then you can make the rest of the money however you want..."

Simon rubbed his forehead in disgust. He hated these backward-minded nobles very much.

If you still use the old ideas to measure current affairs, you will never know how you died.

"Okay! We don't have any cheap ray guns. The list price is twenty-five. I can give you some replacement magazines."

The word "magazine" originated from the North.

Modular weapons and equipment make continuous combat possible.

A soldier carrying a few more magazines is more useful than a magician. Now, no one dares to underestimate the ray gun.

Simon, who has consolidated his territory, has gone to Lucy's castle to bring back the new equipment.

After the new equipment was transformed, Simon immediately made magazines his main product. Now, astonishing wealth is gathering in Simon's territory.

"Simon, we have produced a lot of ray guns and made a lot of money from selling them, but with so much money in our hands..."

At first, Norton and Simon were happy about making a lot of money. However, when wealth accumulated as fast as a hurricane, Norton and Simon felt terrified at the same time.

Neither of them had particularly high titles, so there was no way they could keep so much wealth.

Norton could see in the eyes of the nobles who left their territories their greed for the wealth in Simon's territory.

At the beginning, the nobles united to stop Simon once.

Norton keenly realized that they were planning to do it a second time!

"Simon! We must act quickly!"

The scene that happened when Lucy first arrived will be repeated, and this time the scale of the chaos will be even more intense than before.

"Norton! Go recruit people, no matter if they are farmers or slaves, the more the better!"

"Simon, you mean..."

"I'm going to train spearmen. I won't just throw away the territory I've worked so hard to develop!"

Simon made a different choice from Norton.

When Norton found that he was unable to resist, he decisively sold off his territory and stopped the loss in time.

But Simon was determined to give it a try.

Seeing Simon's firm attitude, Norton decided to support him from behind.

This time it was not Norton who faced direct pressure, so he was not as decisive as before.

The situation immediately became tense in a large area in the central part of the kingdom.

Everyone felt that a storm was about to come.

"You have been recruited by the Lord!"

The group of thugs sent out by Norton began to forcibly capture able-bodied men in the territory.

The nobles had no pressure in doing such things, as it was an old tradition.

Seeing that Simon had started to recruit a large number of soldiers, Li, who had been watching all this silently, smiled with satisfaction.

"Master, those people..."

In every war, those who suffer the most are innocent civilians.

Xiaoli knew what Li was doing, but she still felt a little reluctant.

"Xiao Li, you have to know that your young master has not been a good person from the beginning."

As more and more civilians were drawn into the war, Li did not feel much guilt.

Xiaoli felt the change in the young master's character. At the beginning, the young master cared a lot about the lives of civilians, but now, he just stood aside and watched the fun.

"Xiao Li, do you think I'm cold-blooded?"

"No, Master, I dare not!"

"I have indeed become cold-blooded. I know this very well! But I also feel sympathy for those who are caught up in the war. They have no ability to decide their own fate. Perhaps dying on the battlefield would save them some suffering."

The benevolent doctor invented the Maxim heavy machine gun.

The same kind doctor also invented the life-harvester Gatling.

To achieve lasting peace, what is needed is not mercy, but overwhelming force.

Just like a nuclear bomb, it brings not destruction but world peace.

At this point, what determines whether Li can continue to move forward cannot be mercy.

If you regard kindness as your highest creed, you will end up becoming like a goddess.

Let time freeze in a cowardly era, constantly circulating and repeating!

Li, who personally started the new era of war, looked at the sky gradually darkening in the distance, and he slowly merged into the shadows.

Lee blended into the shadows, moving quickly through fields and villages.

It didn't take long for Li to arrive at a secret manor.

The estate belonged to an old-school nobleman who was a step behind when it came to ray guns.

When the surrounding nobles had already begun to organize a militia mainly equipped with ray guns, this noble discovered that his knights were no longer able to face the armed farmers.

"We won't allow this to happen. Those farmers should stay in the fields and harvest wheat!"

"Yes, we cannot allow heretics like Simon to exist! They turn farmers and slaves into warriors. This is an insult to the spirit of chivalry!"

The nobles who came to the manor to attend the secret meeting denounced Simon and Norton's evil deeds.

However, it is unknown how many people really think so.

There are no fools among the nobles. They shout slogans of justice, and they only care about themselves.

Li, disguised as a marginal aristocrat, sat quietly in the corner, quietly enjoying the farce before him.

The condemnation of Simon was very exhausting. The nobles got tired after a while, and then a group of women entered the venue.

The beasts dressed in gentlemen's clothes began their feast.
