The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After teaching a group of disruptive bastards a lesson, Li finally set foot on the mountain road.

"Hehehe~ The goddess dropped her rolling pin and replaced it with a long sword and a bow. The journey to save the world is not easy at all~"

Ahead of Lee, the little nun bounded forward on the steps.

The dangerous cliff seemed to be non-existent and did not affect the little nun's mood. Or perhaps, she was already accustomed to running on such a narrow and steep mountain path.

"The white deer brought matsutake mushrooms, the tit brought wheat ears, and the little rabbit jumped into the pot by itself~"

The ballad sang that the goddess was short of food during her battle against the devil, and the animals in the mountains and forests collected supplies.

"Hey! Your song is so weird. The rabbit jumps into the pot by itself. Is this also praising the goddess?"

This is too horrifying. Li deeply suspects that the priest who taught this song has something wrong with his brain!

The little girl in front turned her head in confusion. There was no good or evil in her eyes as she looked at Li, only innocence.

“But that’s what the record says.”

Li didn't react at first. He thought the little girl was just too naive to understand the meaning of the lyrics.

But the next moment, Li suddenly realized that perhaps the song was about some real situation.

If the goddess is not a supernatural being in the true sense, but a real person who existed in history, then throwing the rabbit into the pot is not surprising.

Even in a war of life and death, there are many things that are more cruel than this.

Just passing down the story of the rabbit jumping into the pot is already a great degree of beautification.

"Li! Come and see, these flowers were planted by us secretly, and the nuns in charge don't know about it~"

The little girl pointed to a patch of small yellow flowers on the edge of the cliff. This plant, which grows commonly on the mountains, turned out to be a treasure for the girls.

How lacking in entertainment they are that they pin their beautiful thoughts on the flowers that can be seen everywhere.

Li's eyes swept across the group of small flowers and looked at the scenery at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The Holy Mountain is the highest mountain in the royal capital, and the mountains on the royal palace side are slightly weaker.

Li, who had climbed halfway up the mountain, felt as if he was stepping on all living beings. It was a suffocating feeling.

"Is that man Sister Teresa's husband?"

"You look no different from those priests, don't you?"

"I thought he had horns on his head and no tail..."

A group of little girls suddenly appeared on the mountain path. They pointed at Li and made Li very uncomfortable.

It seemed that they had never been educated in etiquette, or rather, the doctrines taught to them in the church did not include how to entertain guests in a friendly manner.

This reminded Li of Theresa whom he met at the beginning, a holy female warrior who rushed directly in his face and shouted heresy.

Li waved and greeted the girls, and then he found that many of the girls who ran out were injured.

Some of them covered their hands, some had red faces, and they all looked like they had suffered some kind of attack.

Could it be that bad customs have evolved on this closed holy mountain, and people have begun to take pleasure in oppressing others!

Although Li doesn't care about the development of this world, he doesn't want to see the extinction of humanity.

If people can no longer distinguish between good and evil, what is the difference between them and beasts?

"…How did you get this on you?"

In response to Li's question, a little girl with footprints on her clothes pointed angrily at the little nun who was leading Li.

"We were just discussing who should go down the mountain to pick someone up, but we didn't beat her! She even threw sand when she fought with us!"

Upon hearing the girls' accusations, Lee's face, which had not shown any surprise when facing the Mad King, was filled with disbelief.

"Your way of selecting people is to have a fight? Where are the devout believers you promised? Where is the benevolence and love that you promised to save all living beings?"

The girl looked at Li with an expression of "what are you talking about", and couldn't understand what Li was struggling with.

"We are all nuns."

"You are all nuns, shouldn't you take care of each other?"

"We are all nuns. Of course, our methods won't work on the people who are blindly moving forward in the secular world."

Li was speechless. These young girls who were trained by the top leaders of the Holy Mountain had such surprising views on things.

Li was shocked by them.

"Okay girls, don't keep the guests waiting too long. You should also do your homework."

Theresa broke the awkwardness in the scene and diverted Li's attention.

Theresa, with more charm of a mature woman, appeared vividly in front of Li.

Even though he was absolutely sure, even though Li had calculated Theresa's possible situations countless times, when he saw that she was safe and sound, Li's heart calmed down.

“…Teresa, you’ve gained some weight.”

There was a vein on Theresa's smiling face. She wanted to make a good impression on Li, but it seemed that her husband only wanted to be beaten.

If you want to hit me, just hit me. Theresa gave Li a soft punch without any hesitation, just like a comfort before bed.

Li held Theresa's hand and pulled her into his arms, but Theresa pushed her away.

"The leader is still waiting. If you want to reminisce about the past, you can leave it for later. I also have a lot to say to you."

Noticing that many eyes were on the two of them, Li immediately straightened his attitude and followed Theresa's instructions to head to the top temple.

Before actually seeing the temple, Li had imagined what the temple looked like many times.

There are classic column structures of Earth civilization, as well as various reliefs and paintings.

However, the temples in the world are more like factories and workshops.

It is built with a material that is unclear whether it is stone or metal, with a simple and flat surface, no patterns or decorations on it.

“This place is very different from what I expected.”

"Indeed, this place is very different from what the mortals below the mountain imagine."

Theresa had been to the foot of the mountain, so she understood what Lee was lamenting.

But the clergymen moving around couldn't figure out why the guests stopped in front of the building.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of God on Earth, Mr. Li."

"Oh, you called me by my name this time. I thought you would call me the magician."

The first time Li heard someone seriously call himself a magician was from the possessed Teresa.

Now that Li had seen the leader in person, he was immediately attracted by his condition.

A figure living in rich holy light, she seems to have no entity, just a spirit-like existence.

Is this the supreme controller of the temple? The high-ranking beings in this world don’t seem quite normal.

Li took a tentative step forward and stepped into the holy light. The expected pain did not appear. The holy light was just like the attack of the Mad King and had no lethality to Li.

Li stretched out his hand and silently felt the holy light covering his body. He found that these holy lights were similar to the Mad King's attacks, but there were some differences.

"Mr. Li, you are very perceptive. These holy lights are objective things, not attacks against you."

"…So, the lethality of holy light to dark creatures does not come from the holy light itself?"
