The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The kingdom’s highest secret storage, which stores all the secret treasures since the establishment of the kingdom, is the royal treasury, and its gate is located in the back mountain of the palace.

Li was brought here by Leon. Looking at the huge earth-covering platform in front of him reminded Li of the imperial tombs broadcast on the Earth History Channel.

"Are you sure this is the royal treasury and not your ancestral tomb?"

"Buried here are weapons and armor of successive kings, as well as many magical items. If you call it a mausoleum, it's actually not a big deal~"

Leon did not refute Li's complaints, but agreed with them. Li really couldn't accept it.

Dear ancestors of the royal family, please do not let your descendants suddenly come back to life when they lead people to dig up graves.

Leon used his own blood to open a special magic lock, and the door to the treasure house opened wide, with a stale smell gushing out of the dark hole.

Looking at the heavy iron-clad oak door and the various abstract bird and animal patterns carved in ancient times, Li felt more and more that this was a tomb.

"Is there no one to clean your treasure house? Look at the ashes and the bad air."

Li moved closer to the cave entrance, raised his hand to clear away the dust that was blowing in his face, and looked inside carefully.

Leon was doing similar actions to Lee, and he seemed to be quite curious about the royal treasure house as well.

"This is a treasure house from a long time ago. Its history can be traced back to when the kingdom was first established. After my father, the current His Majesty, came to power, he built a new storage room in the palace. This treasure house has not been opened for hundreds of years."

"Wait, there's a new storage room on the ground level. What did you bring me here for?"

"Of course I can't bring a thief into a storage room that's in use. Besides, there's no such thing as a divine weapon anywhere."

After leaving the door open for a while to let in some air, Lee and Leon entered the royal treasury side by side.

Lee can modify his eyes to allow him to see at night, while Leon holds a magic lamp to illuminate the way.

"There is one thing I'm curious about. Has His Majesty really lived for hundreds of years?"

“…I’m also curious about this.”

"So you are really his son? What about your mother? Could she have lived for hundreds of years as well?"

“…Li, you’d better shut your stinky mouth!”

The process of walking to the tomb chamber and the treasury is quite boring. It is a long passage that leads directly into the mountain.

Lee simply chatted with Leon about some mindless issues, but Leon was deeply offended.

But seeing the two grown men walking silently in the dark tomb passage, Leon soon got goose bumps.

"…I have never seen my mother. They all said that she died when I was born. I have also never seen my long-lived father. I have only seen his photos and images in some external propaganda."

Leon's sigh received no response, so he pointed the magic lamp at Li beside him, and saw that Li kept his mouth tightly shut, deliberately not saying a word.

"Oh my god, you are so grown up, and you still play tricks like this!"

Being together with Leon and groping around in the dark helped Lee calm down a lot.

Li has now temporarily gotten rid of the tension brought about by Teresa's capture, and is enjoying the pleasure of going fishing in the river with his friends without their parents' knowledge.

“Leon, it seems your life is not easy either.”

“There is no easy life in this world.”

The long passage finally came to an end. The magic lamp in Leon's hand could not illuminate the surrounding walls. They had come to a wider place.

Li's dark vision captured the information in the darkness at the first time. He patted Leon's arm, giving him a signal to retreat.

"What's wrong? Is there danger here?!"

"It's not dangerous, but I can't guarantee that you can remain calm after watching it."

When Leon heard what Li said, he was confused.

He bravely increased the output of the magic lamp, making the light radiate more violently.

The magic lamp finally illuminated the vast space. This place was like a large air-raid shelter, with a dome supported by an artificial support structure.

And under the dome is a pile of bones that makes people shudder with fear.

"What on earth is going on here!?"

Leon screamed in surprise when he saw the corpses piled up and covering the vast ground.

"Why do you ask me? This is your family's ancestral land."

Li emphasized the word "ancestral land" and his eyes swept over the bones, discovering some bad clues among them.

Among these bones that have been dead for who knows how long, there are some cloths that have not completely rotted.

Judging from the shape and pattern of the cloth, almost all of the dead people were members of the royal family.

Under Li's guidance, Leon noticed these pieces of cloth. He walked forward, picked up a piece, and rubbed it hard in his hands. The cloth soon turned into a pile of debris due to long-term weathering.

"What on earth is going on with these people..."

I originally just planned to bring Li here for an adventure, but I didn't expect to encounter such an incomprehensible situation.

While Leon was in confusion, Lee said something even more shocking.

“Leon, so many people died in the same period, and the marks on their bones are basically the same.”

Li's autopsy skills are irrefutable. He said that so many people were killed together, which means they must have died in the same period.

Leon walked around the edge of the bones and found more evidence of mass killings.

"There are traces of holy light formations around. After these people tore them off, they were sprinkled with holy water to prevent the resurgence of evil spirits."

The corpses dressed in royal clothes died collectively and were carefully processed after death...

All this information combined with the fact that the king refused to abdicate for hundreds of years...

"Leon, it seems we have stumbled upon something very remarkable!"

“…I regret it. If I had known this was the situation, I would never have brought you here!”

Leon was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what would happen to him after discovering these things.

If the person who committed the massacre knew of Leon's actions, Leon might become one of these corpses.

While Leon was scaring himself, Li crawled into the pile of bones and after groping for a while, he touched a strange dagger.

"Ahaha~ Leon, you made a good judgment. There really is a divine weapon here!"

Li was very happy to have picked up the artifact, and felt that the trip was not in vain.

The dagger in his hand flashed with a strange light. If I had to describe it in words, this light was colorful black.

When he first observed the pile of bones, Li felt something flickering in the darkness. Now, this unknown dagger artifact was in his hands.

Once he got the artifact, he could find a way to knock on the door of the artifact recycling company. The operation was initially successful, which strengthened Li's confidence in rescuing Theresa.

However, the next moment, a fierce beam of light illuminated the space. Li and Leon were blinded by the strong light and could only vaguely see a row of human figures against the light.

The leader took two steps forward and greeted politely.

"Your Highness Leon, no matter how playful you are, you shouldn't have come to this place. And Mr. Magician, you shouldn't have taken things that fell on the ground for yourself~"
