The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Leaving the injured Lian and the Grand Duke in the care of Carton, Li set out alone to meet the king.

Li originally had no intention of meeting the ruler of the kingdom, a soul from Earth who inherently lacked reverence for creatures like kings. Li was afraid that meeting him would lead to unnecessary conflicts.

But after constant contact with the dark side of this kingdom, Li accumulated more and more anger and wanted to find someone to vent it on.

Researching live experiments, not taking the lives of those under his rule seriously, and other bad things that may be related to the king.

No matter how many difficulties the king has, Li Ke has violated the qualities that a king should have, and he is not worthy of being a king!

"Stop! Don't even think about taking another step forward, you monster!"

When Li arrived at the gate of the palace, he was blocked by a group of soldiers.

Li doesn't look like a good person at all now, so it is reasonable that he was stopped.

It didn't take much effort to deal with these indecisive soldiers. Li pinched out a few bone spears in his hand, ready to crush them directly.

"Stop! Pass the prince's order to let this man pass!"

George's timely appearance avoided an unnecessary conflict. Li looked at George and asked why Leon stood up at this time.

"His Highness found out that the city was on fire and wanted to organize soldiers to put out the fire, but no one obeyed his call. His Highness was very angry, but he was unable to question the king... Everything depends on Mr. Li."

It seems that Leon also discovered that the collapse and fire in the city were caused intentionally by someone.

Leon wants to resist the controlled fate, but he does not have enough strength. Helping Li clear the way forward is the only struggle Leon can make now.

"Not bad, George, tell Leon to thank him for his pass."

Li exchanged a few words with George and continued to move deeper into the palace.

The soldiers blocking the road wanted to ignore the prince's orders and attack Li, but a team of elite guards ran out and directly dispersed the soldiers blocking the road.

"Mr. Magician, His Majesty the King has been waiting for a long time."

This team of guards directly under the king showed respect to Li verbally, but their unruly demeanor showed that they did not take Li seriously at all.

Li now looked like a twisted evil creature. The guards had seen many such things.

These guards, who were only loyal to the king, radiated holy light wantonly, and they all looked like paladins.

"Hey, do you guys want to go put out the fire?"

"Fire? What fire?"

"The fire under the mountain."

Li pointed to the houses that were still burning in the royal capital and showed them to the king's guards.

They just took a glance and turned their heads away in disgust.

These guards have always lived in the palace, and their families also live in the palace. The streets and houses outside are completely two different worlds to them.

"The fire won't burn the palace. Don't delay any longer. If you delay the meeting with the king, you will be in big trouble..."

Li released the bone spear he had prepared for the guard at the door. Each of the twenty-eight bones in his right hand accurately hit the forehead of a guard.

Li stepped over their bodies that were still emitting holy light, without even glancing at the obstacles under his feet, just like these guards ignored the fire below the mountain.

Li's body, which had not yet fully recovered, left a rough trail of mucus on these dead royal guards. Li continued to crawl forward, and these dead guards also crawled up and followed Li.

Lee rarely used necromancy to directly control dead bodies, especially fresh human corpses.

The values ​​​​from the earth have always produced an instinctive aversion to this kind of manipulation.

But today, Li doesn't think he did anything wrong.

These people do not treat the people living down the mountain as human beings, so Li naturally does not treat them as human beings either. This is fair.

Some noble parliamentarians who arrived at the palace early originally wanted to stand up and denounce Li.

After seeing Li easily kill those paladins and transform them into undead knights, these nobles wisely retreated.

What happened in the palace today not only went beyond Li's original plan, but also disrupted the original plan of the Council of Nobles.

What they hadn't done was make another plan for when faced with an uncontrollable necromancer.

It is really sad that these rulers, who are always high and mighty, seem to have forgotten that their plans still have the possibility of failure.

"The king lives so high up..."

It took Li a long time to recover from his vague flesh mass to a normal human body. However, he only climbed halfway up the mountain.

Li stood halfway up the mountain and looked out at another mountain in the royal capital, the Holy Mountain. Li felt that after he had dealt with the king's affairs, it was necessary for him to climb the Holy Mountain once.

"Ah, I suddenly realized that I became so stupid after losing my brain."

Li's head is healing, and his brain, which was flattened by the mud, is growing back.

After his thoughts became smooth, Commander Li ordered the Undead Knights behind him to carry him up the mountain.

With so much free and tireless labor, he had actually been squirming for several hours. Realizing this, Li began to doubt his life.

These unfortunate undead knights can’t do anything else, but their physical fitness is excellent.

It only took Li a moment to reach the top of the mountain. A classical stone castle stood on the top of the mountain.

The old castle has not been repaired and there are many damaged areas on its outer walls.

Li could clearly identify the various traces left by the castle's struggles against enemies in its past history.

Gouging, burning, and even flooding.

God knows why a castle standing on a hill would have signs of flooding.

The guests arrived, and the castle gate rose up on its own without anyone controlling it. The dark gate, like the throat of a beast, issued a silent invitation.

Li did not retreat nor hesitate. He climbed the mountain for half a day just to see the king.

"…Aren't you afraid that this is also a trap?"

As soon as Li Gang stepped into the castle, he heard a loud question, which came into his ears along with the wind blowing out of the city.

The voice sounded very shocking, and an image of a tall and mighty king naturally emerged in Li's mind.

The other party was like a lion, opening its eyes and looking at the reptile that had strayed into its nest.

And Li is this ugly and weird reptile.

The reptile paid no attention to the lion's roar, just as the fleas on a lion never care about the lion's scratching.

Li was carried by several undead knights and walked slowly into the castle.

Cross the porch, cross the atrium, and finally enter the king's reception hall.

A man in golden armor, with a golden sword in hand, sat on an ancient throne, staring quietly at Li's twisted limbs.

"The magician of backlight..."
