The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li, who claimed to be an expert in picking up girls, lost all his dignity when facing Theresa.

After finishing his conversation with Theresa, Li sat down on a big rock dejectedly, watching Theresa working silently.

Li has found out that Theresa is an anonymous nun, that is, a self-proclaimed nun who is not in the system.

The emergence of such a special profession stems from the current chaotic situation in the human kingdom.

Since the failure of the war with the demons in the southern continent, humans have lost all the land in the southern continent. The highest faith of mankind, the Holy Temple, the base in the southern continent, was also destroyed by the demons.

The exiled nobles and clergy came to the northern continent together and established new kingdoms and temples here.

Due to the influence of various factors, the New Kingdom and the Holy Temple clearly lack control over various places.

There are many people like Theresa who follow their clergy fathers in believing in the Holy Light and act according to the church doctrines.

Apart from not registering her name at the church headquarters and not being baptized by a high-ranking clergyman, Teresa was no different from a normal nun.

"Hey, that Teresa, is that the person in your memory?"

[Uh… hard to say. ]

Theresa was working, managing several workers while using a hammer and chisel to clean and smooth the stones.

The refugee camp was building low walls as quickly as possible to defend against possible attacks from the ogres and the beasts in the hilly areas.

"Why, weren't you so confident just now that you brazenly agreed to a request that was impossible to fulfill?"

Li talked to the other personality in his head, and at the same time wondered why Earth Li suddenly became hesitant.

[I just passed on some of my memories to you. You can see that in my mind, Theresa is a... natural girl with a dull mind. She can only cook simple fried eggs. Her only advantage is that she has plenty of energy.]

Earth Lee almost said it directly, my Theresa is a fool.

Look at Theresa who is busy in front of me. Her skillful and relaxed posture is simply perfect.

"But I think she must be able to fry eggs and has good physical strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to follow the refugee group for such a long distance and move such heavy stones. They might be the same person!"

[…If I had a body, I would definitely fight you! ]

Li discovered the benefits of schizophrenia: he could amuse himself, a kind of fun that others could never experience.

Xiaoli stood aside and stared at Li's face silently. She knew that the two young masters were brainstorming, but it was a pity that she couldn't get any of the spoils. It was really worrying.

"Master, can you please speak out your words so that I can listen to them?"

"Go wherever you want to cool down!"

After coaxing Xiaoli aside to draw circles, Li stood up again and walked towards Theresa again.

[Hey, what are you doing?]

"Of course I explained to her that we were joking before. Food is limited. The food stored at home will not last long. We are unable to support this refugee camp."

Even though his other self had a strong urge to help others, Li still decided to reject the agreement with Theresa.

Life is extremely cruel, and when it comes to hunger, there is no room for negotiation.

[Wait a moment! I promise not to touch the food stored at home. I will find another way to feed these refugees.]

Li stopped when he heard this, his attitude was more serious than ever before.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but your expectations are simply impossible to come true!"

[Really? Then I'll show you my racial talent on Earth! ]

Earth Lee may not be good enough in other aspects, but when it comes to farming, such things do not need to be discussed at all.

"Racial talent? Do you still have racial talent?"

Li looked incredulous, he thought he was merging with a human soul, why did it sound like an elemental creature?

[What elemental organisms? These are the scientific production values ​​accumulated by my ancestors! Do you know the basic needs of plant growth? Do you know the effects of different soil components on crops? Do you understand the feeding, growth and management of livestock? ]

A bunch of incomprehensible knowledge popped up in my head, as well as the scientific terms that Earth Li kept spewing out.

Li, who could even fall asleep while reading a magic book, suffered from the torture of language and knowledge.

"Speak slowly, I feel dizzy..."

[This is the power of knowledge! Now, take me to see more farmland, products, and small animals that can be raised! ]

Under the command of another self in his mind, Li Shen left the refugee camp one step at a time.

Theresa watched Li leaving from afar and cursed silently until she could no longer see him.

"Neuropathy."

Li left the refugee camp and returned to the farmland not far from the town.

It was spring now, and the green wheat seedlings in the fields looked very pleasing to the eye.

[The staple food is wheat and beans. Are these the only two you grow? ]

"These two are the highest-yielding and durable food. You're not going to grow vegetables, are you? I think you're really crazy to use your precious land to grow vegetables."

Because farmland is difficult to protect and the gravel hills themselves are not suitable for farming, there are very few fields around towns.

The fields here are the common property of the town residents. In order to protect these fields, even farmers will raise their pitchforks and fight the kobolds to the death.

[I won't touch your fields, and you don't have to be so excited. Take me to the barn.]

There are too few fields opened up in the town, and Earth Li even suspects that many people will starve to death this winter.

This is indeed the case. Every winter, people die of starvation and freezing in the Gravel Hills.

"We have to fight the cold and the wild beasts. This is not a good place. I heard from the elders that in the southern continent, if you just scatter a handful of seeds, you can grow enough food to kill you."

Earth Li silently noted that this world also conforms to the natural laws of temperature between the north and the south.

At least in this world, the climate is not so outrageous that it is unacceptable.

Li returned to his home, where he also had a barn.

The stone-built building with a pointed roof is an important granary that stores one-third of the town's grain.

"There are three such barns in the city. One is at home, one is in the center of town, and one is in the militia garrison."

[Oh~ It seems that our family has a special status in the town~]

"Well~ It's because they settled down earlier, and there are mages with plenty of energy at home."

Li entered the barn through a small door on the side of the barn. This small door was used for ventilation and to check the fire situation.

Grain that is piled too densely can easily catch fire spontaneously. It is important for people to come and check on it to feel at ease.

Under Li's instructions, Earth Li carefully observed last year's new grain stored in the grain bags.

The grains are not full and many of them are moldy.

By the way, the wheat was not husked at all.

[…Is this all there is? ]

"These are already a lot. Last year was a bumper year."

Looking at Li admiring the grains of wheat in the barn seriously, Earth Li felt sad.

How can one laugh in such terrible living conditions?
