The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li, who was being talked about by Leon, left the palace early.

He was invited by George to find a way to rescue Leon.

After completing the task, Li also prepared a lot of new dishes for the banquet. Such hard work is worthy of the salary Li gets.

"Brother Li, with this small piece of soul, can you really find the person who attacked the prince?"

In Li's hand was the soul that he had ripped out of Leon's soul body. With this substitute soul, Li traced back to the old city area of ​​the royal capital.

"We have already figured it out, haven't we?"

Before heading to the old town, Li stopped on his own initiative.

The girls who were following Li also stopped.

The old town is right in front of everyone, and the scene here is fundamentally different from the prosperous and modern downtown area.

Muddy dirt roads, low, shabby houses like shanty towns, and residents walking around barefoot with numb expressions.

Everything here seems to have remained in the Middle Ages and has not changed at all in hundreds of years.

Between the old and new city areas, there is a dividing line that looks like it was split by an axe.

Originally there was a separation wall here, but it was demolished under the impetus of the Council of Nobles. It was said that this was done to allow residents of the old town to live a good life.

But looking at the scene in front of him, Li couldn't help but wonder, was the wall really demolished?

People wandering in the old city, even if they are numb, will not easily cross the dividing line. On one side are the bright and beautiful streets, and on the other side are the dirty and shabby alleys.

There is a huge difference between the two, and this difference makes the poor poorer and the rich richer.

"We all live in the same city, but the difference is huge."

Li sighed sincerely. In addition to lamenting the gap between the rich and the poor in this royal capital, the scene here, like the dungeon, made him feel an indescribable discomfort.

"The capital is indeed wealthy, but this wealth cannot be shared by everyone."

Li, who has experience on Earth, is not used to the obvious gap between the rich and the poor in the capital.

Lian, who came from a large family, had long since realized the cruelty of the system.

Li did not refute, but asked another question.

"Lian, you should be at the party, not here."

"you hate me?"

"Uh, not really."

Li was just reminding Lian that pursuing the remaining souls with him was not in keeping with her status as the daughter of the Grand Duke.

"Something has attacked the prince. There's no way I can attend that damn engagement party without worry!"

Well, Li knew that Lian was very unhappy with her engagement with the prince, and that cousin Feng, whose engagement was broken off, had caused trouble for Lian several times.

There was no point in angering a woman in a manic state, so Li shut up decisively and looked at the back of his hand again.

Li's palm was holding the soul that came from nowhere, and on the back of his hand were four symbols of different shapes.

Oriental symbol drawn with the blood of a demon lizard.

The symbol of the north drawn with pheasant blood.

Western symbols drawn with toad blood.

There are also southern symbols drawn with the blood of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

These symbols remained alive, shaking constantly on the back of Li's hand.

According to Li's perception, the symbol representing the east is deformed larger than the others, and the east is exactly the depths of the old city in front of him.

"This magic is very similar to the one used to find my mother."

Lilith looked at the magic on the back of Li's hand and remembered the searching spell that Li had used last time.

"The principle is the same, but this time there is only a fragment of soul as a mark, so the sensing is not very clear."

The symbols on the back of Li's hand were basically jumping around, and even Li was not sure whether the old town was the right direction.

"Should we continue looking?"

The old city area is very large, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for Li and his group to wander around there alone.

"The target is hidden in the old city. Perhaps we should tell Prince Leon and ask him to send soldiers to search for him."

Letting soldiers join in is naturally the best way, but looking at the numb residents of the old city, Li thought it would be better not to disturb them too much.

"Lian, you should know that it's not a good idea to let soldiers into the old city."

Lian did not respond, she was well aware of the consequences of class differences.

The soldiers would cause more damage to the old city than the hidden enemy.

"Brother Li, why do you always take on such troublesome tasks?"

Lilith complained and was about to walk into the old town, but was stopped by Li.

Lilith looked confused.

It was Brother Li who said he wanted to investigate, and it was also Brother Li who was stopping me now. What exactly did Brother Li want?

Lee smiled slightly when he saw the confusion on Lilith's face.

"Who said that without relying on soldiers, we will have no help~"

Under the puzzled gazes of several girls, some people walked out of the old town.

These people are generally young, all of them are underage children.

From as young as fourteen or fifteen years old to as young as being held in someone’s arms, the eyes of these children in the old city are much more lively than those of the numb adults.

Seeing so many ragged children, the girls subconsciously took a step back.

The impact of the scene before them touched the sensitive parts of their hearts.

"boss!"

Among a group of children, several young people were waving to Li.

"It's Xiaoli and the others!"

More than half of the company employees who had already gone home for vacation were actually in the old city.

Theresa and Lilith's reactions were fine, but Lian was surprised by the people in front of her.

This guy Li quietly planted a wave of power of his own in the royal capital.

"Boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you just come?"

Xiaoli supported a lame boy, and the two of them moved closer to Li.

The soul in Li's palm suddenly fluctuated violently.

"Xiao Li, wait a minute!"

Li asked Xiaoli to stand where she was, held the soul fragment in his hand, and circled around Xiaoli twice.

When everyone saw Li's strange behavior and the trembling symbol on the back of Li's hand, they suddenly realized something.

"Phew~ It really is so easy to get."

"Ah! Could this child with unsteady legs and feet be the one we are looking for?"

By some strange coincidence, Li found the owner of the soul fragment so easily.

Li just took a quick look at the boy's condition and confirmed that the boy was not the one who attacked Prince Leon. The poor boy was also a victim.

Fortunately, there was no big fuss, otherwise things would definitely have been a mess.

"boss?"

Xiaoli seemed a little nervous as Li was circling around her.

The boy was so scared that he wanted to hide, but unfortunately his legs were not in good condition and he almost fell to the ground.

Li walked forward, grabbed the boy's trouser leg and yanked it upward.

The bite marks caused by an animal were clearly presented before everyone's eyes.

"Were you bitten by a snake?"

The boy looked at Xiaoli, then at the strange Li, and nodded slightly.
