The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Communicating with Li made Leon understand the meaning of friends.

The look Leon gave Li no longer contained the contempt and hostility he had at the beginning.

After a brief exchange, the truth or dare game continued.

Li picked up a card from the deck and was about to continue communicating with Leon, but his hand suddenly stopped.

After Li stopped moving, Leon also keenly noticed the sound of someone walking in the passage outside.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li remained motionless, quietly feeling the people outside.

Leon bent down carefully and used his hand to block the faint light of the magic lamp.

Outside the maintenance room, a person first walked past, then walked back, and finally, a pair of feet stopped near the maintenance room.

The other party stopped moving.

Leon's heart instantly rose to his throat. If Leon was the only one in this space, Leon suspected that he might scream out loud.

Fortunately, Li was here to accompany him. In the previous communication, Li gave Leon a sense of reliability, allowing Leon to remain calm.

One minute, or two minutes.

Darkness takes away one's sense of time.

Leon felt that time was extremely long until a shout came from outside.

"Your Highness! We are here to rescue you, Your Highness!"

Leon's eyes lit up. This shout should be the soldiers searching for him.

Leon wanted to respond immediately and get out of this anxious state.

Leon glanced at Li subconsciously, only to see that Li put his fingers holding the cards in front of his mouth, signaling Leon to keep quiet.

Leon was a little confused.

Help is here, why not respond?

Li could see the confusion in Leon's eyes. Li didn't say anything, but just picked up the cards in the pile with his hands.

Lee turned the deck of cards over and finally tapped the Joker.

At first Leon didn't understand Lee's intention.

What's wrong with the clown? Are you saying I'm a clown!

But Li's serious expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Leon quickly realized that Li was hinting that there was something wrong with the people outside!

The Joker, also known as the Joker, the person outside is a ghost!

The one that was shouting loudly was certainly not a ghost in the literal sense. Li was warning Leon that the other party might be an enemy!

Leon covered his mouth with his hands to prevent doubts from coming out.

After realizing that something was wrong with the people outside, Leon focused all his attention on the outside.

Leon didn't notice that Li's expression was becoming more and more serious.

Compared to Leon who could only hide in the maintenance room and wait, Li had already used necromancy to place eyes in the passage.

The dead rat that was previously stepped on by Leon was monitoring the surrounding situation from a position opposite the maintenance room.

The enemies outside disguised as soldiers naturally did not escape Li's eyes.

The enemy was a man wearing a full set of city guard uniform. Not only was he wearing a combat uniform, but he also had a metal mask on his face.

It was difficult for Li to see the enemy's face through the eyes of the dead rat.

The enemy was facing the direction of the maintenance room. Even though Li had grown moss on the door and walls to make it look like it had not been opened for a long time, the other party still became suspicious.

However, this man did not rush forward. For some reason, he stood in front of the door for a long time and then left as if he had not discovered anything.

The enemy's strange behavior made Li think deeply.

From the very beginning, Li keenly realized that there was something wrong with this ambush.

First of all, how did the other party set up the ambush, and how did they make sure that the target would arrive here at the scheduled time?

Li began to recall the whole process and soon found the crux of the problem.

It seemed that Li came to this ambush point because of Prince Leon's interference, but the person who actually controlled the route was the groom who led Li.

The Grand Duke's groom was the least conspicuous person but was able to control the entire process.

Moreover, after Leon's griffin attacked the carriage, the coachman slipped away very quickly and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

Li narrowed his eyes and realized that this ambush might not be as simple as it seemed.

The other party is not coming for Prince Leon, but more likely to kill Li!

Li looked up at Leon, who was looking worried. Was this poor prince implicated by him?

No, Leon was part of this ambush too!

Li's thoughts raced, and he soon figured out more things.

"Your Highness Leon, why did you chase me out?"

Lee suddenly spoke, startling Leon.

Leon subconsciously hissed, and seeing that Li was unmoved, he listened to the noise outside and realized that the enemy had left.

"You're crazy! How can you still have the time to talk at a time like this?"

"Your Highness, this is very important. The enemy is not an ordinary person. You need to think carefully about who wants your life!"

At this moment, when Li was communicating with Leon, he had already made a change in identity.

Li no longer communicated as a friend, but pushed Leon to think in a slightly commanding manner.

Li's behavior reminded Leon of the Home Secretary, who always liked to make suggestions and prevent Leon from doing various activities he liked.

"Ha~ There are many people who want to kill me, including the bounty hunters in secret, the nobles of the kingdom, and even the Grand Duke who hired you!"

When Leon said this, he was obviously indignant.

Biased words lack evidence and cannot be listened to seriously.

Li was inspired by Leon's answer.

If Prince Leon died in the attack, and he was the one who lured Leon here, Li would be burdened with a huge blame!

This kind of case involving the power center of the kingdom would be a major event once it happened. No matter what the final outcome of the struggle between those powerful people was, catching Li, who was involved, was definitely the common goal of all parties.

By then, Li would be the enemy of the entire kingdom, and even if Li had great abilities, it would be difficult for him to extricate himself.

Mr. Li cannot launch the undead plague again and sacrifice the entire kingdom.

Li is not one of those crazy liches in ancient times who had lost their minds and took pleasure in creating undead creatures.

"plum?"

Li began to think about who was plotting against him.

Grand Duke?

With Lian's relationship in mind, would the Grand Duke really devise such a dangerous scheme?

Or the royal family?

He had no connection with the king, but his action of destroying the beauty salon might have angered the old king.

Or is there someone more behind the scenes?

While Li was brainstorming, Leon had called Li several times.

"Li! You've been in a daze since just now, what are you thinking about?"

Leon started to poke Li in the face, and Li came back to his senses from his thoughts.

Li Jianleon was holding his arm tightly, and there were many people running around outside.

Li realized that this ambush, which started off well but ended badly, should end here.

"Your Highness, real help should be here."

Leon noticed this earlier than Lee.

The servant had sent out a distress signal before, and someone would come to support the prince.

Logically, Leon should have left directly, but during the time he spent with Li, Leon trusted Li more.

"Li, you are a capable man, you can judge for yourself, those outside should not be enemies anymore!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Today's thrilling experience is enough for Your Highness to reminisce about."

Under Leon's expectant gaze, Li stood up and pushed open the old iron door of the maintenance room.
