The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lilith had seen Holy Light last time. A human with no faith and no affinity for elements turned into a paladin after being injected with a potion.

This time, Lilith felt a similar aura from that underground space. Perhaps the underground of the Artifact Recycling Company was a research laboratory used to steal the power of holy light.

"From the perspective of social structure, divine authority, and royal authority, the Holy Temple and the royal family are naturally in opposition. However, the royal family is secretly studying the Holy Light Warriors. I think it is impossible for the Holy Temple not to be aware of the royal family's methods."

What Li found most curious was that the Holy Temple allowed the royal family to study the Holy Light. What was the purpose of doing so?

Combined with the fact that the temple arranged Theresa to be by his side, Li had a bad guess.

"Perhaps the Holy Temple is also tired of this unchanging world."

Li pondered there for a long time, muttering to himself all the time.

Lilith thought Li was weird. Li's current state was different from when he was worried about Theresa.

"Brother Li, if we want to go in and rescue Theresa, we must be prepared to fight against the holy light. The holy light is too strong against dark creatures."

Lilith is a vampire, and the powers that Li possesses are all necromancy, so the two of them have few means to use in the face of the holy light.

But Lilith did not back down. As long as she could help Li, Lilith didn't mind giving more.

Looking at Lilith who was willing to go through fire and water for him, Li felt that he owed her more and more.

Maybe after all this is over, Lee will have the chance to repay this lovely vampire.

"Lilith, don't go this time. Wait for me to come back home."

Lilith wanted to refute, but saw that Li looked serious.

"Those people are mentally disturbed. There's no need for us to fight them head-on. I'll find a way to sneak in like I did last time and give them another big blow!"

"…What about Theresa? What about Theresa?"

"I have a feeling that Theresa might not be in the hands of those artifact recycling companies."

"Brother Li, are you saying..."

Theresa may have returned to the Temple with information about Lee.

Lee did not say this aloud, nor did he accuse Theresa of betrayal.

"I understand, Brother Li. I will wait for your news at home like last time."

Lilith turned into a ball of bats and flew out of the balcony window.

Li noticed that the guards in the distance were alarmed, and many mages serving the royal family rushed over here.

Li didn't take these defensive forces seriously at all. He snapped his fingers lightly, and those people squatted on the ground in pain.

After spending so many days in the palace, Li had already planted a curse on the food and water sources.

Necromancer is the most bizarre magic in the world.

Someone in the corridor was running quickly towards Li's room. Li looked at the closed door and waited silently for the person to come.

If the people rushing in were soldiers who came to arrest him, Li wouldn't mind killing people in the palace.

Fortunately, the person who opened the door was Li's acquaintance, George, the aide-de-camp to Leon.

"Mr. Li, a bunch of soldiers suddenly appeared in the palace. They have orders from the king and the Council of Nobles and want to search for everyone in this house. You need to leave immediately!"

"Don't panic George, those soldiers are no threat to me."

George thought Lee would slip away quietly, and was about to cover for Lee, when he saw Lee's face gradually change.

Li's chin became sharper, his nose became straighter, and his pupils gradually turned into the dark blue color that only members of the royal family have.

"Ah, you became a prince..."

Before George could finish his surprised words, a group of soldiers rushed into the room, and then a scene that surprised George even more appeared.

Li, who had turned into Leon, jumped up and down and cursed the person who broke in.

"You are a bunch of idiots. That damn guy ran out of the window. Go chase him!"

Li's every move was inspired by Leon's. The soldiers who rushed in did not recognize him at all and retreated in the blink of an eye.

"What a bunch of idiots! Leave two people to protect me!"

Li's roar echoed in the corridor, but no soldiers turned back. It seemed that these soldiers who only obeyed the king did not take Leon seriously.

"Look, Leon can't even command his own guards. He's a real failure as a prince."

George didn't expect that it could be done this way. It was really eye-opening. However, Li spoke with Leon's face and tone, which made him seem like he deserved a beating.

"Mr. Li, I hope you won't do anything embarrassing with the prince's face."

"Tsk~ I'm going to use Leon's face to pick up girls. This will benefit everyone."

"Please don't do that!"

"Then I can become like you and seduce the head maid..."

"I'll bite you if you do that!"

After George's repeated warnings, Li swore to the magic lamp above his head that he would not abuse Leon and George's portrait rights.

After chatting with George for a while, the search operation in the palace gradually died down.

"Okay, Leon should handle the affairs in the palace by himself. I'm leaving now."

Watching Li Xiaosha leave, George took a long time to regain his composure.

When George returned to the hall, he saw Leon entertaining Amber and the young people brought by Li.

After a while, the soldiers who had been searching everywhere came to the hall. They stood in a circle and surrounded everyone, including Leon.

The soldiers made way for the search and the commander who was in charge of the search strode out.

"Grand Duke Freyr, who gave you the authority to bring so many people to search the palace?"

Lian's father walked up to Leon and did not back down in the face of Leon's questioning.

"Your Highness, that magician is a very crazy man. He sneaked into the royal treasury and killed a team of guards! And you are covering up for him. This is not what a prince should do!"

The Grand Duke angrily scolded Leon, but this only made Leon more confused.

It was indeed Leon who helped let Li go, but Leon knew very well what Li had done.

Compared to what Li did, the criminals in the Artifact Recycling Company were truly vicious, and Lian's father didn't seem to be aware of the specific circumstances.

"Your Excellency, you haven't answered my question yet. Who ordered you to lead people to seal off the palace today?"

"Of course it is the order of His Majesty the King."

"Really? Then let my father come to see me! Otherwise, don't even think about using force against my guest!"

Leon, who had always been afraid of his father, suddenly stood up.

Lian's father looked at the changed Prince Leon with a look of confusion in his eyes.

How dare the prince oppose the king's order in such a strong tone? This is not in accordance with the rules.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding soldiers and Amber and others, Leon drew out his ceremonial sword and placed the blade on Grand Duke Freyr's shoulder.

"For Lian's sake, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me, who gave you the order to search the palace?"

“…It’s His Majesty the King!”

The atmosphere in the hall was more solemn than ever before, and no one had any idea what Leon and Grand Duke Freyr were arguing about.

Just when everyone thought that the prince and the grand duke would have an endless conflict, Leon threw away his sword and then laughed.

"As expected of Grand Duke Freyr, your loyalty is admirable. Now, you can arrest everyone you dislike, including me."

"…Your Highness, I am sorry for offending you today."

All the soldiers withdrew from the prince's residence, and Amber, Xiaoli and others were not arrested. For the first time, Leon used his face to protect something he cared about.
