The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 159: Bad Guy Card

In order to attract the attention of the people on the mountain, Li directly summoned the phantom of the magic dragon.

When the dragon's roar resounded throughout the royal capital again, the Saint and Theresa, who were playing chess, almost overturned the chessboard.

Rich holy light gushed out, ready to face terrible threats at any time.

After realizing that the sudden appearance of the dragon phantom was just some kind of doorbell, Shengguang shrank back in embarrassment.

"That guy Li, he must have done it on purpose!"

"Perhaps, he is expressing his dissatisfaction in this way."

The phantom in the holy light looked at Theresa and expressed his speculation.

Someone kidnapped his wife, and it didn't seem so difficult to understand why Li used some extraordinary means.

"Notify the nuns, we have guests!"

The saint living in the holy light cannot leave the top of the mountain. She can only use the nuns she has trained to act as tentacles for her activities in the outside world.

After Teresa helped call the nun who was to deliver the message, she began to discuss with the saints how to deal with Lee's visit.

"Should we have a party? To entertain our rare guests?"

"The banquet does not match the impression that the temple has given to the world. We should respond in a way that is consistent with the status of the temple!"

If it was just her, Theresa would just fry an egg for Li and that would be enough.

But this meeting was a showdown between Shengtang and Li. While Shengtang was exchanging opinions with Li, he also had to maintain his own dignity.

"I must make Li realize that the Holy Temple holds more initiative!"

After the saint set the tone, Teresa nodded.

Even though Li is her husband, after arriving at the workplace, Theresa still has to stand on the public standpoint and cannot be too close to Li.

While sending people to the foot of the mountain to welcome Li, Theresa and the Saint also got busy.

Li accompanied the fat and thin priests at the foot of the mountain to distribute relief supplies, and at the same time exchanged some things that they cared about.

"Mr. Li, how do you feel when you use necromancy? We have captured some crazy wizards, most of whom were tortured to madness by necromancy."

"Nothing special, just like a doctor treating an injury, or a butcher cutting up a small animal, except that the object being dismembered is myself."

The fat and thin priest immediately drew a holy light mark in front of him to calm his shaken mind.

After answering a sensitive question, Li asked a question in return.

"I have always been curious, how much is the monthly salary for clergy like you?"

"Cough cough!"

The fat and thin priest was choked, and drew several runes in succession at a faster speed than before.

“We are all devout believers!”

"We thought the Holy Light and the Goddess would give everything!"

Lee scratched his chin with his fingers, finding the two priests' reactions very amusing.

"So, how many blessings will the goddess give you in return for your devout faith? Two thousand white breads?"

"Ahem~ Almost, almost."

Discussing such a sensitive topic with Li was indeed beyond the fat and thin priest's ability to bear.

After they had a laugh with Li, the two of them went about their own business.

According to rumors, the necromancer has the ability to shake the faith of believers. The priests did not believe it before, but after chatting with Li, they confirmed that the rumor is true.

Without using any filthy power, he almost broke the state of mind of the priest. The necromancer is indeed terrifying!

"Mr. Li! Who is Mr. Li?"

A little girl in nun's clothes suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The other party shouted Li's name and looked around with his big eyes.

Li saw curiosity about everything in the other person's eyes. This inconspicuous little nun should be the sister mentioned by Theresa.

"Over here, I'm Li..."

Li waved and wanted to get in touch with the little girl, but after seeing Li, the little girl hid behind the fat priest.

Li was confused for a moment, not knowing what he had done to scare the other party.

Could it be that the act of summoning the dragon shadow scared her?

"Why did you hide after you saw me?"

Li tentatively spoke to the little nun hiding behind the fat priest. The nun stuck her head out and made a face at Li.

"I'm not talking to you, you're a bad person!"

"Bad guy? I didn't do anything bad, how come I became a bad guy?"

Li was speechless. The girl he just met gave him a bad guy card. Who could he go to for justice?

"It was Sister Teresa who told us. She said you always held her hair down and you always pinched her!"

"… Why does Theresa say everything? Those words are not something a child should listen to!"

"Hey! Mr. Li, the road to the mountain has been opened. Please go up the mountain as soon as possible to avoid the people above waiting anxiously."

The fat priest who was caught in the middle quickly changed the dangerous topic.

But his well-intentioned act brought disaster upon himself.

Li approached the fat priest with a lewd look on his face.

"Hey, you seem to know a lot, would you like to exchange ideas sometime?"

There are no clear rules in the temple that prohibit priests from getting married, but most people avoid the topic.

Li Tie came up to share little secrets between men, which once again dealt a heavy blow to the fat priest's heart.

“…Mr. Li, please let me go.”

Li just felt that this group of priests were too serious. People were always tense, which was a problem after all.

Seeing the fat priest showing an angry look, Li stopped teasing him. Li signaled to the little girl who came to lead the way that it was time to go up the mountain.

The little nun hesitated and did not move; her attention was not on Li.

Li noticed that the little nun was looking intently at the refugees around her. There was no pity or doubt in her eyes. She just looked at everything she saw curiously.

Li suddenly remembered that Theresa had said that there were many young clergymen on the Holy Mountain, and the young nuns were the most strictly disciplined among them.

In order to maintain a certain degree of purity, the nuns are forbidden to have any contact with the secular world below the mountain, which is a necessary measure.

However, Li felt that such a life was too cruel.

"Little girl, are you curious about these things around you?"

Li didn't know why this little nun who was responsible for receiving him was chosen, and whether she would be abandoned by the mountain after she came into contact with the things happening down the mountain.

"Well, I'm curious because Sister Theresa said that the lives of people living down the mountain are different from ours. Now it seems that they are indeed very different."

The crowd who have lost hope and are receiving relief supplies numbly are indeed very different.

Li didn't know how to explain that the people in front of him were all refugees and they could not represent the majority of people.

"In fact, there are many happy and joyful things down the mountain that you haven't seen yet."

"I know! Sister Teresa told us about this, so I also want to be like Sister Teresa and find a husband who can tell jokes! I think that boy over there is pretty good!"

Following the little nun's finger, Li saw a clever little kid who was collecting bread among the refugees.

Several children carefully weaved their way into the line, trying to get more bread.

"Meow, aren't these the little ghosts from the old city? Fat priest, those children are not refugees, they are capable of supporting themselves!"
