The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li, who came to the royal capital with Lilith, couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the huge changes in the royal capital.

When a city builds high-rise buildings in a short period of time and becomes more prosperous, it will bring people a sense of prosperity.

But when everything in front of him was moving backwards, Li felt that he was walking on the edge of a terrifying abyss.

Li was scared. He didn't know if everything in front of him would suddenly be destroyed at some point.

The large-scale changes happening in front of Li made Li vaguely aware of the instability of this world. Perhaps this world is more fragile than Li imagined.

"If Theresa hadn't been kidnapped, I would probably focus on investigating these things."

"Brother Li?"

Lilith didn't hear Li's mumbling clearly. She was thinking about how to investigate Theresa's whereabouts.

Although Lilith hated this nun who took the initiative, but since she had left a deep impression on Li, Lilith didn't want Theresa to get into trouble.

Lilith was still expecting Li to accept her after he had calmed down. If something happened to Theresa, she didn't know how long this hope would be delayed.

"Brother Li, what should we do now?"

"…I don't know either."

In fact, it is easy to find clues about Theresa and the headquarters of the Artifact Recovery Company.

Li and Lilith hired a carriage, and after telling the name of the Artifact Recycling Company, the driver took them to the location in front of them.

Turning forty-five degrees, I saw a three-story building with a sign of the Artifact Recycling Company hanging on it.

It was bright and reflected the sunlight, which was very dazzling.

"This artifact recycling company is right on the street. Isn't it a little..."

Lilith, who has always been a thick-skinned person, didn't know how to evaluate the situation in front of her.

Lilith looked at Li and signaled with her eyes, asking him if he wanted to go in and find out which room Theresa was visiting in.

Li was also confused by the building in front of him, but he knew one thing: those who directly attacked Theresa must be no simple people.

"This seemingly loose company may be a den of dragons and tigers."

Li didn't dare to rush in rashly, let alone use the undead witchcraft to investigate.

The last time he destroyed the beauty salon research institute, Li had already demonstrated the power of his necromancy. If those people were also in the artifact recycling company, they would definitely be on guard against Li's methods.

Li even felt that the company building in front of him was a provocation to him.

"They want to see if I can handle it as easily as last time..."

After making a basic judgment, Li turned around and left decisively.

Lilith followed behind in confusion, and only asked about the doubts in her heart after they had walked a long way.

"Brother Li, the current plan is..."

"If we want to fight against a force, our own strength is not enough. We need help!"

Li is taking the initiative to find some helpers, which is a good thing in Lilith's eyes, proving that Li is still calm enough.

After confirming the target, Lilith realized that Li Zheng was leading her towards the old city.

Old Town, where there are vacation employees from Fortune Catering.

On the way to the old town, Li kept looking around, and his actions aroused Lilith's curiosity.

"Brother Li, I noticed it before. Are you looking for something?"

Li looked back at Lilith, his lips moving as if he had something important to say.

"What do you think of the buildings around here?"

"Buildings? They are just common houses. Brother Li, do you have any opinion on these houses?"

Li shook his head and didn't answer any more questions.

After that, neither Lilith nor Li spoke to each other, and Li even stopped observing his surroundings.

Lilith felt very strange, even a sense of alienation from an unknown source.

Brother Li is keeping his distance from her!

Why? Did I do something wrong again?

Lilith was so afraid that Li would abandon her. Ever since she came into contact with Li, Lilith never wanted to go back to the lonely days of the past.

Lilith made up her mind to do more for Brother Li, to leave a deeper impression on him and make him never abandon her again.

Li was unaware of Lilith's yandere thoughts.

Li just tried his best to eliminate interference and not let the changes he noticed change the relationship between himself and Lilith.

However, Li did not notice that his subconscious protective behavior actually caused trouble to Lilith.

"This place has changed too... and it's become better."

When he arrived at the dividing line between the main urban area and the old urban area, Li subconsciously stopped.

When I came here before, the two urban areas had a huge gap because of their different styles.

However, after the inexplicable decline of the royal capital, the gap between the main city and the old city became less obvious.

The dirty streets, low houses, and numb residents, both sides became the same, which shortened the distance between them.

Judging from the expressions of the residents on both sides, the jealousy and anger between them have decreased a lot.

However, Li did not feel that things were getting better, because more people were suffering, and such changes were a step in the opposite direction.

"Boss! We're ready!"

When Li and Lilith entered the cramped old town and came to the original handicraft workshop which had not changed at all, Xiaoli and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Lilith noticed that there was a bat on Xiaoli's shoulder. It was not an illusion that would split apart after Lilith was beaten up, but a real living bat that could bark and poop.

Lilith knew that this was the messenger that Li bribed with fruit, and this guy was a fruit bat.

"Uh-huh~"

Lilith, thinking that they were all distant relatives, went over to tease the fruit bat, but it fluttered away.

"Ah, this stinky guy actually ignored me!"

The interaction between Lilith and the fruit bats attracted a lot of people's attention, but it did not interfere with the communication between Li and Xiaoli.

Having had several experiences of helping Li to carry out missions, Xiaoli and others have now become mature followers.

"Boss, this time you are going to investigate the Artifact Recycling Company, right? Do you have a specific plan?"

The last time she investigated an insurance salesman, Xiaoli was able to disguise herself as a customer and take the initiative to approach the target person.

But this time, how can the artifact recycling company disguise itself as a customer?

Is it necessary to disguise the artifact?

"It's not easy to disguise a divine weapon, but I happen to have some connections, so I should be able to borrow one or two."

The news revealed by Li made Xiaoli and others open their eyes wide.

They had always thought that Li was just a sultry necromancer, but they didn't expect that their boss also had such a wide social circle.

"Boss, you are so amazing that you can even borrow a magical weapon!"

Li straightened his chest, greeted everyone's admiring gazes, and said that this was not a big deal.
