The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The series of complicated encounters made Leon feel irritated and uneasy.

Those crazy people in the Artifact Recovery Company have their own organization. Grand Duke Freyr also controls a guard in the name of the king, and Li also has his own power.

Only Leon, as a prince, did not even have a loyal guard.

You mean George?

He is just a handyman and can't fight.

The only thing Leon could use was his own authority as a prince.

Li was unable to witness the scene where Leon confronted the Grand Duke, as he had now arrived at the gate of the Artifact Recycling Company.

But in front of him, an unexpected person appeared.

"Lian? Why are you here?"

Lian was wearing combat leather armor and holding a two-handed sword in his hand.

She was about to release a whirlwind attack when she disagreed with something, which aroused Li's interest.

"Lilith asked me to come here. I owe you a favor, so..."

"Okay, okay, I was just worried about not being able to find a reliable helper. Lilith is in the shadow realm and can't do anything against holy light. With a great swordsman like you who simply relies on recklessness, I also have front-line support~"

"Ah? What do you mean by simply being reckless? I also think a lot when I'm fighting, okay?"

When facing Li, Lian unconsciously shed her aristocratic pride and started arguing with Li like a carefree little girl.

I'm afraid that neither Lian nor Li realized this. The tone of their relationship seemed to have been set from the very first contact.

"You can think? I'm afraid you can only think about how to rush to the enemy and hit him hard."

Lian puffed up her lips and raised the sword in her hand to threaten Li and make him shut up.

The two of them were having a pleasant conversation like long-time friends.

The third person who was ignored jumped up in dissatisfaction.

"Sister, you said you don't like Li, but you're obsessed with him. Don't you even care about me, your brother?"

Carton was wearing a suit of silver-white armor and a heavy knight's helmet on his head, from which came a muffled and depressed sound.

Suddenly interrupted by Carton, Lian glared at her brother in dissatisfaction and gave him a flying kick from her elder sister.

Lian's foot kicked on Katon's protective gear, making a dull bang. Li looked at the part of Katon's body that was kicked by Lian, then looked at Lian's foot, and for a moment he didn't know which one hurt more.

"Katon, I didn't expect you to get involved, but this time we're going to conduct a stealth operation, and I'm afraid what you're wearing will affect your flexibility."

Cotton wrapped himself up like a tin can, and now he looked like a decoration in the corridor of a classical castle.

"Oh, this is all my sister's fault. When she heard Lilith say that you needed support, she picked up the best sword in the house and ran over to join us. We have been waiting for you here for several hours. During this time, we have been standing here without any help!"

Cotton was full of complaints, some about his sister and some about Li, but mostly he was just venting his frustration.

The abnormal situation that has recently occurred in the royal capital has shown signs of getting out of control. Anyone with a little ability can sense a crisis hidden beneath the stable and peaceful appearance of the kingdom.

Cotton and Lian were naturally aware of the risks in Li's action, but they still took the initiative to come over to help.

"Thank you for your support. It's getting late now. Let's start the action!"

Carton and Lian have been waiting for a long time, and Li doesn't want to keep them waiting.

The investigation might be completed sooner, and Li might have a chance to treat them to breakfast.

"Okay, where do we start our infiltration..."

Lian and Katon adjusted their attitudes and prepared to follow Li and sneak into the building in front of them.

But Li walked up the steps to the entrance of the Artifact Recycling Company and kicked the door hard.

While the three of them were relaxing with each other, Li had already transformed his body through necromancy.

Now Li can kill a cow with one punch and kick away a heavy oak city door with one kick.

The door spun and flew inside, causing a cry of surprise.

Under the stunned gaze of Lian and Carton, Li stepped in.

"Hey! Didn't you say you wanted to sneak in? You kicked down the door and walked in without hesitation. How can that be called sneaking in?"

Walking into the building, Li looked around and observed everyone. Just as Lilith had scouted in advance, there were only some ordinary people working and living in the ground part of the building.

"Who are you!"

A man in a guard uniform stood in front of Li. His duty was to protect the safety of the building, but when he was facing a necromancer, the short stick in his hand was of no use at all.

The guard just yelled at Li, then fainted on the ground and fell asleep very quickly.

Li said to Lian and Katon who followed him.

"As long as no one stops an infiltration, it is a successful infiltration."

“…You are clearly committing robbery.”

The ordinary people who stayed in the building had never seen a crazy villain like Li.

After the security guard fell to the ground, the others huddled in a corner and trembled, and no one dared to stand up to stop Li and his group.

Li kicked open the doors one after another and forcibly searched every space. After causing screams, Li finally found the passage leading to the underground that Lilith reported to him.

A sewer manhole is located in the basement of this building.

After going down, you can see some piled up debris and two pipes whose purpose is unknown.

Lian and Katon, who followed behind, squeezed with Li in the narrow pipeline maintenance area.

"Brother Li, are we in the wrong place?"

Li didn't answer. He just turned around and kicked, making a big hole in the side wall.

It's a false wall, there's another space behind it.

"This looks like some kind of facility in the temple."

After destroying a fake wooden wall, Lian and Katon also saw the target they had been searching for for a long time.

On the huge metal door, there is a classical mural depicting the battle between humans and demons. In the center of the picture is an image of a woman holding a glowing sword. That is exactly the description of the goddess in the temple records.

In addition to the door, various mystical symbols are also painted on the walls of the compartments, most of which are related to holy light.

In the corner next to the gate, there is a small altar with accumulation of candle oil left over from long-term offerings.

Li watched all this quietly, constantly thinking about the connection between the temple and this place.

"It looks like my guess is about to come true."

"Brother Li, what are you guessing?"

"I presume Theresa isn't even here."

"Ah? Should we continue investigating?"

Li came here to find Theresa, but now he determines that Theresa is not here, so it would be meaningless to continue searching.

"Forget it, let's go back..."

"No! This might be the reason why my father participated in those evil deeds. I can't just leave it alone!"

Originally, it was Li's wish to come here to investigate, but when Li announced his withdrawal, Lian refused to do it.

Lian has always wanted to understand why her father never came home, and why that day in the old city, the poisonous snake suddenly appeared and took away the prince's soul.

There are many secrets behind this, and now these secrets are hidden behind that big door!
