The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lian and Carton's father, Grand Duke Freyr, returned to the underground research institute, but he did not look very well.

The Archduke was panting, with a clear look of impatience on his face, completely different from the calm aura he had when he was seen before.

"Your Excellency, you look very tired."

The appearance of Li and Carton interrupted the settlement process between Lian and his father, and the Grand Duke could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But in the face of Li's questions, the Grand Duke had to cheer up.

Li Ke is the legendary magician, and the Grand Duke must deal with every question of Li seriously.

“…I just came back from the palace.”

The Grand Duke wiped the sweat from his face and straightened his coat that was torn by the sword.

"Magician, why are you here with my two children!"

"We're teaming up for an adventure."

"Adventure? This is an important research facility of the kingdom. It's not a place for kids like you to wander around. Get out of here now, right now!"

While the Grand Duke was driving away Li and his companions, he was also wondering about one thing.

There are usually a lot of guards here, so why is there no one today? Even the researchers in the base are only a few kittens left?

"Father, you still say you are doing the right thing? This institute is doing evil research, and you are aiding and abetting it!"

The Grand Duke reprimands the young men for their nonsense, while Lian and the others witness the evil practices of the facility with their own eyes.

Combining the currently known information, Li found that the Grand Duke's reaction was a bit strange, and he didn't seem to know much about this place.

"Lian, wait a minute before you get angry."

Li held Lian's shoulders, and this subconscious action immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Being stared at by Lian, Lian's father, and Lian's brother, Li felt like his palms were about to burn.

Li raised his hands high to signal everyone that he didn't mean it.

"Ahem~ Your Excellency, how much do you know about this research institute?"

In response to Li's question, the Grand Duke answered confidently.

"This is the kingdom's most important research facility. It is a critical barrier to fight against powerful enemies and protect the kingdom. The research here has enabled the kingdom to master the technology of mass-producing White Knight weapons and the ability to easily fight against demons. The research projects here determine the kingdom's future!"

It was such a high-end and impressive propaganda, but Li and Carton were completely confused.

Looking at the Grand Duke's expression, he seemed to be full of admiration for this research facility.

"So, the last time you rescued that venomous snake, it was also to support the research here?"

"Of course! That man is a researcher who escaped from here. He is a traitor. I will bring him back for personal trial!"

"What about that poisonous snake? Was it killed by you, Grand Duke?"

"He just left the organization without permission. I have handed the criminal over to Director Lei. He will spend the rest of his life in prison!"

Lee covered his forehead with his hands, and Cotton pulled down the visor on his helmet, no longer looking at his stupid father.

Seeing their disgusted looks, the Grand Duke always felt that something was wrong.

"You guys, what kind of attitude is this!"

"Hey, Grand Duke, before you maintain order here, you should take a walk around first."

"What's there to see here? It's just a bunch of incomprehensible bottles and jars. I've already visited them when I first came here. Now, you can't make trouble here anymore. If the king really punishes you, I won't be able to plead for you then."

The Archduke behaved like a stubborn parent, trying desperately to dissuade the disruptive children.

Li and Carton were speechless, but fortunately Lian had not given up trying to persuade her father.

"Dad, you must not have looked carefully here. This is not the great research you mentioned. They are doing dangerous experiments and using living people... Oh my God, what the hell is this!"

Lian had only seen the first few laboratories before and didn't know much about the ones behind them.

Now Lian pulled her father towards the depths of the research base, and more and more bloody and evil scenes appeared before them one by one.

Lian's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that all this was done by humans.

Grand Duke Freyr was sweating profusely and kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.

"No, this is not right. I saw some things last time I came here, and they were not so evil!"

Listening to the Grand Duke's suppressed yet excited roar, Li and Cotton looked at each other.

The Grand Duke was obviously deceived. He was tricked into boarding the ship by those people and even helped them do a lot of things.

This person has been sold but is still helping others count money.

"Carton, your father doesn't seem very smart."

"…In our family, it has been tradition for women to work outside and men to work inside, so…"

Li and Carton focused their attention on Lian, who was also shouting, and were filled with emotion for a moment.

"So, the decline of your generation seems to be inevitable."

"Brother Li, just say something nice."

Li patted Cotton's shoulder, feeling full of sympathy for this kid who had spent his childhood drooling and was about to take over the burden of the family as soon as he became an adult.

After Grand Duke Freyr followed Lian to inspect the research base, he put the handkerchief he was using to wipe his sweat over his mouth.

He reflected on his behavior while retching. After thinking for more than ten minutes, the Grand Duke finally came to a conclusion.

"I was deceived! Those bastards said this was an aboveboard research and an indispensable contribution to the advancement of the kingdom. They are full of bullshit!"

"Dad, you are such a fool. You believe everything those people say. Are you a child?"

The family got together and resolved previous misunderstandings, which made Lian and Katon feel a lot more relaxed.

However, being in this strange research base, everyone's spirits soon became tense again.

"If only a few people came to lobby, I would not believe it..."

No matter how stupid the Grand Duke was, it was impossible for him to be easily deceived. This was also what puzzled Li.

The answer came quickly.

"I will believe the beautiful description here, mainly because of the testimony of the Parliament and the order of His Majesty the King..."

The nobles, for their own benefit, usually do not care about the lives of others, and they will participate in these evil studies and are very receptive.

But what about the king?

Do the rulers of the kingdom also agree with these evil studies? These studies that go against human nature are destroying the foundation of morality. Any ruler with normal thinking will not allow these things to exist.

"Is the king also kept in the dark?"

"I don't think so."

Putting Li and Leon's previous experiences together with these evil studies, the answer is obvious.

"I think the king is probably the biggest beneficiary of these evil studies."

Li's inference was so horrific that no one dared to respond to him.
