The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li Jianglian tricked his way into his purse, took out gold coins from it, and handed them to everyone.

Everyone who witnessed the fight between Lian and his father received a viewing fee.

Bah, it’s hush money.

"I beat you to death for your enjoyment, and you still want me to pay you hush money. Isn't this unfair?"

Lian, who was still immersed in her father's strange transformation the moment before, was completely broken down by Li's outrageous move the next moment.

Lian wanted her money back. When facing Li and Lilith, Lian could put aside her pride, but when facing the children who surrounded her, Lian couldn't say a word.

Forget it, it’s just some gold coins. At least I got to see my father. I can just spend the money to find someone.

"Lee, I need your help."

Lian urgently needs to know more information about what her father is doing and who is with him.

"Attending a palace banquet means being with the king and the noble council."

“Maybe this is just an excuse!”

"No, I think it's true."

Before leaving home, Lian's father did leave a message that he was going to attend a court banquet.

The theme of this party is unclear, but the location is definitely there.

"Do you remember what your father said before he left?"

“Is this a necessary sacrifice?”

"Yeah, I've heard it in other places."

Li told Lian about the elders of the magic academy and gave her a clue.

"The kingdom may have a dangerous plan to increase some power. You can find out the details yourself."

"Eh? You won't help me? I can pay you and your team."

"No, I feel like it will be troublesome to continue investigating. I only have a dozen days left in my vacation. I want to go home and enjoy my shameless days~"

Li put his arms around Theresa and Lilith, and his expression made people want to beat him up.

Lee was tired of staying in the capital, and now the person who was causing trouble for the prince had been found.

Although he was not caught, Li could hand over the rest of the matters to Prince Leon to do on his own.

Despite Lian's request to stay, Li left without hesitation, leaving Lian helpless and alone standing there.

Lilith slapped Li's mischievous hand away. She felt a little sympathetic towards Lian's situation.

"Brother Li, are you really not going to help Lian? You even called her name in your dream."

“…This is the first time I’ve heard you say this!”

Li was shocked to find himself talking in his sleep. This was a bad habit as it would easily lead to secrets being revealed.

If I say something about the earth while sleeping, it might cause trouble for Li.

"Lilith, do I talk in my sleep a lot?"

"Brother Li, I'm discussing something very serious with you now, please don't change the subject!"

It seemed that ever since rescuing Lilith's mother, Li had never seen Lilith in such a serious state again.

After being yelled at by chance, Li actually felt it was a bit fresh.

Lee looked at Lilith with great interest, which made Lilith very angry.

"Brother Li, if you keep doing this I'll be really angry!"

Li was still smiling, like a father coaxing his child.

Lilith hated Li's mood a little bit, but when it came to serious matters, Lilith compromised.

"Brother Li, I think Lian's family is caught in a storm. You have the ability to help her, so why refuse?"

Lilith felt that since Li could help her rescue her mother, it should be easy for him to help Lian get through the danger.

"Perhaps in your opinion, what I did did not exceed my limit, but just like ordinary people need to rest after working hard, I also need to rest."

Only after Li pointed out her fatigue did Lilith react.

Li has been busy with various dangerous things recently and has not had a quiet rest for a long time.

Lilith couldn't help but think back to the time when she was helping Lian. A tiny mistake, a piece of information that was not in her grasp, put her at a disadvantage.

The result was of course good, but the process was terrible. If Lilith were to do it again, she would probably choose to abandon Lian and not get involved in her family's conflicts.

Lilith understood that Li felt the same way as she did.

"Of course I don't mind helping my friend, but this is the capital, and the Grand Duke's family is not simple. This matter may involve the secrets of the kingdom, and may even provoke the noble council and the king."

Li looked towards the direction of the palace, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

During the days when he worked as a cook under Leon, Li had used necromancy to gather intelligence about the palace as much as possible.

But apart from the normal activities of servants and soldiers, Li failed to extend his tentacles to the key places.

The Royal Palace is one of the most critical facilities in the capital. It houses too many highly skilled warriors and countless magicians with extraordinary powers.

Li must act with extreme caution.

"Well, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if we intervene, we can't change anything."

This time, Lian's father was not imprisoned for research. He stood in a dangerous position entirely by his own will.

Li Ke would not be so stubborn as to try to persuade Lian just because of her request.

"It's time to go home, Lilith, open a portal."

Li's answer temporarily calmed Lilith's excitement. Lilith put her hand into her skin and fumbled for a long time before taking out a magic wand.

"…Lilith, where did you put the staff?"

"It was originally placed on the arm so it could be used at any time, but when it became a sword, it moved a little bit."

With a flash of teleportation magic, Li, Lilith, and Theresa disappeared in front of everyone.

A teleportation magic can travel across long distances.

Li stood directly at the door of his house, silently looking at the old house in front of him, thinking about complicated things in his mind.

"You are back."

A gentle woman walked out of the house on the side. It was the first time that Theresa met Lilith's mother. She was very nervous because she had taken away the husband that was destined for her daughter.

Li noticed that Theresa's hand, which was holding his arm, was shaking. Li held Theresa's hand instead and placed her hand in his own palm.

"Oh my, this is the old one being forgotten when the new one comes~"

Facing Li's mother's teasing, Li was completely upright.

The fact that he was able to gain the love of so many girls proved that he was capable and that he didn’t use any dirty tricks to gain it.

"We are back, Auntie."

After greeting Li's mother, Li turned to look at Theresa.

"Don't worry, we're home."

Home, a word that had nothing to do with nuns in the temple, belonged to Theresa for the first time.

Theresa looked at the old house next to her and began to imagine her future life there.

"Home..."
