The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The shop doorbell rang.

Two crisp sounds, one sharp sound, three by three cycles, weaving into a harmonious rhythm.

Mother Li walked out from the inner room and looked up to see a magician in a secret order robe manipulating wind magic to make the bell vibrate the way he wanted.

The magician liked the little bell at the door very much. Listening to the ding-dong sound, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"She is already an old lady in her 60s, but she is still as playful as a little girl."

While complaining, Li's mother closed the partition door.

Upon hearing this, the guest turned around angrily and pouted to express his dissatisfaction to Li Ma.

"I'm still a 30-year-old girl, how can I be as bad as you say!"

The guest who turned around was a pretty lady with carefully styled wavy hair and aqua blue eyes as charming as a lake.

Being in a high position for a long time makes this beauty naturally exude intellectual charm.

The way she acted coquettishly towards Li Ma broke her original personality and made her look even more charming and lovely.

"Thirty? I remember you saying that a few years ago."

"Humph~ Thirty-nine is still thirty years old! You have a problem with that?"

Mother Li didn't dare to object and quickly walked over the counter and gave her a big hug.

"It's been a long time since I last saw my old classmates~"

"You too, big sister~"

The two people hugged each other and recalled that the most noisy dormitory in the magic academy was theirs.

There were four people in their dormitory, and they once turned the magic academy upside down.

But as they grew older, they embarked on the paths of their own choice, and now Li Ma has cut off contact with the other two.

The beautiful lady in robes in front of him is none other than the dean of the current magic academy.

"Elizabeth Amber, let's save the reminiscence for later. Why do you want to see me wearing your secret order robes?"

The dean of the magic academy, Elizabeth Amber, put away the friendly smile she showed among friends and put on a dignified face.

Amber's stern face released a strong pressure.

"In the name of the Secret Order! I am here to entrust you with a task. I need you to come to the Magic Academy and help me investigate some things."

Amber held the mask of the Secret Order in her right hand and entrusted the task in the name of the Secret Order.

"Tsk, I knew that no one would come to see me for no good reason. It must be no good thing that you come to see me!"

It has been several years since Li's mother ran around for the secret society. Since her son grew up, she has become accustomed to the life of a housewife.

"Sorry, I refuse to accept the mission. You should find someone else."

Even though the person in front of her was her former best friend, Mother Li did not give her any face.

Li Ma now has only one principle in her conduct: no one can come and destroy her peaceful life.

"Wait a minute, dear Rose, you can't abandon your old friend. This is for the magic academy, and you have to do this!"

After I got married, no one called me Rose for a long time.

Mother Li turned around and saw her old friend's face full of anticipation. Her heart softened and she prepared to listen to the details.

"It's like this. I found some scents of undead creatures near the magic academy. Some people also reported encountering ghosts in the suburbs."

Seeing that Li Ma was willing to take care of her own affairs, Amber quickly explained the difficulties she had encountered.

"Just some undead creatures? Can't a great magician like you handle these?"

Li Ma was very confused. Simple undead creatures did not pose much threat at all. A farmer with a pitchfork could easily kill them.

"If it's just about eliminating evil, I have no problem with that, but there are signs that someone is specializing in the study of necromancy, and these people are hiding very deeply."

Amber looked very tired when she said this.

To put it bluntly, it was her lack of ability as the dean that allowed the person behind the scenes to go unpunished.

Amber has exhausted herself physically and mentally as she has to suppress the news to avoid causing panic and find the source of the crime.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. After letting the people who created the undead creatures escape time and time again, Amber could only spend the face she had accumulated and come to Li Ma to seek help.

"Rose, you are the most powerful necromancer I know of, and you are also a righteous necromancer. Please accept my request!"

When Mother Li heard Amber say this, she burst out laughing.

"This is the first time I've heard of a righteous necromancer. Amber, aren't you afraid that others will know your identity as a secret society and burn you at the stake?"

The dean of the magic academy is a hero who stands on the side of light. If outsiders knew that Amber was now wearing the robes of the secret order, it would definitely lead to the Holy Judgment.

"Hehe~ As long as you don't reveal my identity to others, how will others know~"

Seeing that Li Ma was joking with her, Amber knew that she had agreed to her request.

Undead wizards are strange and their methods are hard to figure out. The only way to solve the problem is to bring in more powerful undead wizards.

Amber happily held Li Ma's hand, ready to go back hand in hand to solve the problem like they did when they were young.

But Aunt Li pushed Amber away.

"Why, you still want to refuse?"

"No, I accepted your mission, but I didn't agree to go there in person. Anyway, you just need a powerful necromancer to solve the problem. I just need to arrange the right people to provide you with support~"

Amber tilted her head, not knowing what Li Ma wanted to do.

Then Aunt Li opened the partition door and called out to the back.

"Son, Lilith, you two come out for a moment~"

It is very unpleasant to be interrupted in the middle of a meal.

Amber saw a man and a woman with donkey faces walking out of the back room.

"Let me introduce you to this handsome boy. He is my son. He is handsome, right~"

Mother Li pulled Li's cheek and introduced him to the beautiful aunt in front of her.

Mother Li pointed at Lilith with her other hand and introduced her to Amber.

"Amber, you should still remember the old undead vampire. This girl is the child of that woman. She irresponsibly left it to me."

Amber looked at Li and Lilith, and saw the shadow of her old friend in their two young faces.

"That crazy vampire gave you his child? Wasn't your previous relationship the worst?"

Amber was a little confused as to why Lilith's mother would entrust her child to Li's mother, whom she had the most difficulty getting along with.

Perhaps, the person you once hated the most is also the person you understand the most.

"How about these two children? They are enough to solve the difficulties you are facing now. Let them take the task, or leave. It's your choice~"

Mother Li doesn't like to make choices, so she often throws her headaches to her friends or enemies.

Amber, who was tricked, felt very troubled.

Amber was a little worried about whether Li and Lilith were able to complete their tasks.

If the two of them accidentally get into trouble, Amber will have to spend effort to protect the children of these two friends. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Forget it, I'll think of another way..."

Before Amber could finish her refusal, she heard Li's protest with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Mom, I said I don't want to get involved in your secret society's mess. Don't push the mission onto me."

"Hey kid, did you know that the Magic Academy is the largest academy in the kingdom? One admission quota can be exchanged for a viscount title. Also, the girls in the academy are beautiful, generous and kind. If you work hard, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life~"

Li rolled his eyes and greeted Amber politely with a smug look.

"Auntie, please leave the task to me. I promise that there will be no better necromancer in the entire kingdom~"

Amber's eyelids twitched. She felt that coming to Li's house today was a huge mistake.
