The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The ruler of the kingdom is a mad undead. If this matter were to spread, it would surely cause great chaos.

Li finally figured out the reason for the king's longevity and why he rarely appeared in public.

The king's soul was bound to that gleaming suit of armor and the throne of power.

He probably hadn't stepped out of the King's Chamber for hundreds of years, and Lee felt nothing but sadness about that.

What is even more sad is that the nobles and ministers never questioned the king, and no one ever opposed him.

"If this kingdom finally perishes, it will not only be the mad king who caused its demise, but also everyone living in this kingdom, don't you think? Little Karami who stole the prince's soul."

Long before entering the King's Chamber to meet the Mad King, Li noticed that many eyes were secretly staring at him.

After Li revealed its identity, the poisonous snake swam out from the darkness and spit out its tongue towards Li Sisi.

"I didn't mean to harm the prince. I just took a few souls for research. Also, what does Karami mean?"

For some reason, the venomous snake lost its human body and moved around the mountain in the form of a black snake.

"Research? Oh, yes. The king doesn't look like he can have children. Leon's origin is very interesting. So, what have you found out?"

"Uh...Magician, the last time I saw you, you wanted to kill me, but this time you gossiped with me. Is that really okay?"

"Friends and enemies are determined by our current positions. We don't have any deep hatred. Relax, little snake. This world is about to end."

Yes, the world is about to end.

When Viper came into contact with the fundamental secrets of this world, he was confused for a period of time. For this reason, Viper even threw away his human body in order to avoid madness caused by confusion in thinking.

"Prince Leon is indeed of royal blood, there is no doubt about that. The mad king set up a secret research facility and used the stored royal blood to create a prince or princess every once in a while."

Viper had dealt with the Noble Council and many researchers, and therefore learned some information about the prince.

He stole the prince's soul before just to confirm some things.

"So, the mad king may have realized the fact of his own death a long time ago, but he was unwilling to believe it. How pathetic."

Li once again lamented the end of the mad king.

"Now that the matter of the Mad King has come to an end, I am even more curious, which side are you on?"

Viper was initially just a fringe figure of an evil organization, but later came into contact with the research facilities of the royal capital.

Li speculated that Viper might be serving some nobles who held power in the royal capital, but now that he appeared in front of him, Li had to reconsider.

"Don't worry, magician. I am now serving the temple."

"A venomous snake living in the dark side is actually serving the Holy Temple. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life."

"Unfortunately, this is the truth."

The poisonous snake swam in front of Li, nodded, and then began to twitch its body to regurgitate.

"Hah~ Wait a minute, I have a letter for you, hah~"

The poisonous snake vomited for a long time before it vomited out a lump of egg-like objects.

Li picked up a small branch from the side and pushed the egg aside while suppressing his nausea.

"Hey~ You actually despise me! The bloody mess you looked just now was much more disgusting than me!"

"I'm not afraid of being gross, but I don't like touching someone else's vomit, especially a snake's!"

After Lee and Viper exchanged swear words, they picked up the egg and examined it.

The egg felt like plastic, and Li soon noticed the cracks on it.

After twisting the egg open, Li unfolded a rolled-up piece of paper.

This is an invitation letter, inviting Li to go to the Holy Mountain to discuss and resolve some issues.

At the signature of the invitation letter, Li saw Theresa's name and the mark of holy light left by Theresa.

Theresa was still alive.

"This invitation comes at a really good time."

It was neither earlier nor later, but just after Li encountered a series of events that the invitation letter fell into his hands.

If Theresa had left this letter on the day she left, why would Li have caused so much trouble in the royal capital.

Perhaps, the leader behind Theresa is using Li's abilities to settle some troubles within the kingdom.

"I received the invitation. Is there anything else?"

"No more, no more~"

The poisonous snake shook its tail and said goodbye to Li happily. Then the black snake turned around awkwardly and moved its body swayingly.

The black snake swayed left and right, and it took a long time to move two and a half meters away. Looking at its awkward movements, Li suddenly realized an important problem.

"Wait, have you always walked…crawled this slowly?"

Viper turned his head in confusion, taking a moment to realize that Lee was asking about his movement.

"Oh~ You're walking like a snake all of a sudden. I haven't gotten used to it yet."

Viper, who was still in the internship period, did not hide the fact that he had difficulty in moving, but Li's face had already turned black.

He had thought about conspiracy theories for a long time before, but the actual situation might be completely different from what Li thought.

"When did the Holy Temple ask you to deliver the letter?"

"Ah, it's been a few days. I've been looking for you, and I just ran into you in the palace today. It's really not easy to know the location of the magician."

While Viper was lamenting Li's elusiveness, Li was about to go berserk.

It turns out the truth is so simple. The temple might have already prepared to send a letter to him.

It's a pity that they chose a rotten snake that crawls as fast as a snail as the messenger!

"It turns out that all the suffering I've endured is because of you!"

Li grabbed the snake's tail, swung his arm, and threw the snake down the mountain.

Amid the sound of wind blowing in, Li's depressed heart finally felt relieved.

After taking the venomous snake to relieve some stress, Li returned to his serious expression.

Standing on the mountainside and gazing at the holy mountain in the distance, looking at the holy light that was entwined like clouds there, Li gradually fell into deep thought.

He had to go to the Holy Mountain eventually. Whether for Theresa or for the secrets of this world, Li couldn't refuse the invitation.

But the Holy Mountain is the base camp of the Holy Light. Unlike the false holy light created by the mad king, the clouds floating on the Holy Mountain can still sting Li's eyes even from such a distance.

"If this is a trap, I'm afraid I won't even have ashes left."

After Li sighed, he continued walking down the mountain road. However, after walking for a while, Li suddenly realized that he was walking too slowly.

So Li came to the edge of the cliff where he had just thrown the black snake down and jumped into the fierce mountain wind.

"Ahhh, my god, it's really high!"
