The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Whether there is fire or water on the earth, the sun will rise as usual.

Li sat at the dining table in Lilith's house, half of his body shining with golden light from the rising sun.

Li used a spoon to put the milk soaked in cereal into his mouth and looked at Li's mother who was using a knife and fork to handle the biscuits.

Li still cannot accept eating crispy food with yogurt.

"Aunt, let's talk about the recycling company."

Li opened his own catering company, which was quite impressive. He didn't expect that besides himself, there were other people who opened weird companies.

Moreover, the other party's purpose seemed to be to recover the artifact. Li had only seen one artifact before, the black rose in Lian's hand.

"Ahem~ That artifact recycling company is actually a subordinate unit of the Noble Council. They are specifically responsible for investigating and recovering clues related to artifacts."

Li nodded, motioning for his aunt to continue.

"As you can see, I was once one of them."

"Ah? You also joined this recycling company? Aren't you a member of the secret society?"

"Well, the Secret Order is a recycling company under the Holy Temple. The nature of their work is basically the same thing."

It turns out that the Secret Order is also in charge of matters related to divine artifacts. This was the first time that Li knew about this.

"The Holy Temple is also collecting artifacts? Could it be that the ancient legend is true?"

"Which legend?"

"The one that can make your wish come true if you collect all the artifacts."

Li's mother nodded, confirming Li's suspicion. Now Li was really confused.

"I thought believing in light was ridiculous enough, since there really is the power of holy light in this world. But collecting all the artifacts to make a wish is too old-fashioned..."

Li now began to wonder if he had traveled through time to some low-level anime world.

“…sometimes reality is more elusive than drama.”

Li's mother didn't understand what Li meant by the joke, so she could only respond with more common words.

Li pondered over the new information he had obtained today and considered how to deal with the conflict that might occur next.

"They are here to look for a divine weapon. Do you have one, Auntie?"

Employees who collect artifacts will take the artifacts as their own after finding them.

Li thought of this instantly.

"That teleportation staff is the artifact."

"Pfft, you said the staff you gave Lilith is a divine weapon!"

The staff that Lilith casually holds in her hand all day long and uses as a fire stick from time to time is actually a magical artifact with a long history!

This artifact is really not impressive enough.

Just as Li was feeling sympathy for the poor artifact, there was a knock on the door.

The rhythmic knocking sound meant that the visitor was very polite. Considering the politeness of the recycling company staff last night, Li felt that his aunt who secretly occupied the artifact seemed to be the one at fault.

"Please come in!"

Lilith walked over and opened the door, letting in a very polite gentleman.

The other person took off his hat and greeted Lilith who opened the door. Everything seemed so peaceful.

The sudden arrival of the visitor, like a relative or friend from afar, did not disrupt the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the house.

But when Li saw the other person's face, his thoughts were shaken.

"It's you!"

In the research facility in the royal capital that was destroyed by Li, the mentally insane researcher actually came to visit here like an ordinary person.

Li stood up immediately, with a magic spell ready in each hand, ready to deal with any possible conflict.

But the man hung his coat on the hanger and greeted the host very politely.

"Dear Ms. Vampire, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Of course, Mr. Magician, I didn't expect you to be such an outstanding young man."

The crazy researcher who behaved so exaggeratedly when they first met was now greeting him politely in front of him.

Li's emotions were briefly confused and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Mr. Magician, you may have a wrong perception of me. When conducting research, I will remain 100% committed, and when dealing with normal communication, I will also maintain proper etiquette."

The clear and coherent words refreshed Li's understanding of this person.

In Li's impression, he has never seen such a person who can completely separate work and life. In Li's eyes, the other party seems to be schizophrenic.

"My name is Li, Weize Li."

"Lei, the former director of the underground research laboratory."

Li now knew the other party's name, and the next step was to figure out his intentions.

Lei did not hide what he had done. Facing Li's doubts, Lei told him the truth.

"Mr. Li, you saw us doing dangerous research, imprisoning innocent people, collecting samples from them, and doing crazy experiments. These actions are indeed inhumane."

“…Since you admit that what you did was inhumane, why did you continue to do it?”

Li originally thought that everything was under his control.

But Lei's arrival sounded a warning bell in Li's heart.

Li is indeed a special individual with two lifetime experiences. The memories from Earth also give Li more confidence when facing crises.

But Li had previously underestimated the locals around him and this world of extraordinary powers.

Lei's next answer hit the nail on the head for Li's reflection.

"Mr. Li, you should be able to realize that there are many things wrong with our kingdom and our world."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li's heart hard.

Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, as if he had fallen into an abyss in an instant.

This world is not normal. It turns out that not only I have realized the problem, but others have also discovered it.

Li was in shock. Lei smiled politely and then turned to chat with Li's mother.

"Ms. Vampire, you have held the Hollow Voice for a long time. We know that you spent a lot of money to get this artifact. Now I am here to negotiate with you. I hope you can sell the Hollow Voice to us at a suitable price."

Lei was not an enemy this time; he negotiated as a businessman.

Li's mother was obviously relieved, and then she began to think about how much she should get in exchange for selling the artifact in her hands.

"Mom, do I have to sell it? I use this staff very well."

"Ms. Lilith, personal possession of a divine weapon will bring about great trouble. If you don't want someone to break into your house in the middle of the night and pick your lock, it would be safer to sell the staff to us."

When Lilith thought about being woken up several times last night, she suddenly lost interest in the teleportation rod.

Putting convenient portal and good sleep on both ends of the scale, Lilith obviously cares more about the latter.

After all, staying up late is a woman’s natural enemy!

This is no exception for vampires.
