The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Waking up from sleep, Li, as usual, first glanced at the magic book on the bedside.

This old and weathered magic book occasionally emits a faint light.

Combining the memories of the dream world, Li judged that the Book of the Dead was quietly accumulating magic power.

The dream world might be maintained with the help of the magic book. The fact that the magic book no longer responded to him might be a sign that his magic power was exhausted.

"I don't know if you will be able to speak like before after you regain your magic power."

Li tapped the magic book lightly with his fingers as a greeting from an old friend.

"Master, that Teresa is looking for you again."

When Li Gang opened the door, he saw Xiaoli standing at the door with a resentful look on her face.

Xiaoli has stopped mopping the floor recently. Li asked her mother and found out that Xiaoli has been studying cooking in the kitchen recently.

It is not known whether Xiaoli’s change is good or bad, but studying cooking is not something shameful.

"Teresa is really something. She came just after dawn. Doesn't she need to pray?"

Seeing the young master saying words of disgust but with the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, Xiaoli's face became even darker.

It seems that since the young master met Teresa, he has become more cheerful.

This should have been a good thing, but Xiaoli felt very uncomfortable.

It was as if the familiar young master had become a different person.

"What's up, Xiaoli? Why are you looking at me so strangely?"

"Nothing, young master. I just thought you haven't been talking to yourself much lately."

After hearing Xiaoli's words, Li calmly changed the subject.

Li's mumbling to himself is naturally related to schizophrenia. Now that his two personalities have merged well, there is naturally less of a question-and-answer session between him and himself.

"Hey~ Xiaoli, where's my mom?"

"Madam left last night. She received an order from the lord to go and see a doctor."

"Diagnosis?"

Li's head was full of question marks. He closed the door and followed Xiaoli to the restaurant.

However, Li did not notice that after the door was closed, the Book of the Dead, which had been calm, began to flash non-stop as if an electric switch had been touched.

"My mother went to see the lord?"

"Yes, Madam went to treat the unfortunate fellow who got hit on the head."

Xiaoli pointed to her head as she described it, and Li immediately remembered the lord his father had mentioned who was killed instantly by a dog-headed man.

Li scooped the soy milk ground with wind magic into the bowl and sprinkled some fried flour grains.

"It is said that he is still drooling after being cured by the Holy Light, so let's ask our wife to come and take a look."

Li Ma is proficient in some necromancy and is one of the best magicians in Gravel Hills. It is understandable that she is asked to see a doctor for diseases that cannot be cured by Holy Light.

Li only hoped that after his mother finished treating patients, she could bring back some local specialties from the lord’s castle.

"…Speaking of which, I remember the lord was replaced last year. What was the new lord's name?"

"I know this! The new lord is the young master of the Freyr family, Sir Carton!"

Li Shaozi paused and almost drank the soy milk into his nose.

"Katon, I didn't expect it was really him..."

Recalling the Kadon in the dream world, who called himself brother-in-law all the time and also had the same problem of drooling, Li was speechless.

At the same time, Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Katon doesn't have much contact with the native Li, but Katon's appearance rate in the dream world is very high, and his drooling is synchronized with reality.

Are those experiences in the dream world really simply the result of the collision of the two Li spirits?

Perhaps the creation of that world is related to other forces.

Li was brainstorming while eating breakfast. Xiaoli saw that the young master was absent-minded and knew that he was distracted again.

While Li was not paying attention, Xiaoli secretly stole a few noodles from Li's bowl and enjoyed the fruits of victory with a happy look on her face.

On that beautiful morning when the master and servant lived in harmony, the town’s warning bell was suddenly rung.

"…The continuous ringing is a call for combatants!"

The bells never stopped ringing, and outside the house there were sounds of people running and making noise.

Li ran out of the house and saw many reserve militiamen rushing out and gathering in the town square.

"What happened?"

"The sentries have discovered the Kobolds. A large group of Kobolds are attacking the town!"

The militiaman who was passing by hurriedly explained to Li while wearing leather armor.

After hearing the words "dog-headed man", Li Ye immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

The kobolds attacked the town. What happened to the team that went to strangle them?

My mother just left town last night. Could she have encountered these enemies outside?

For a moment, the thought that his parents might be in danger shook Li's heart. Xiaoli quickly rushed over and pulled Li into the house.

"Master, hide in the cellar. As long as I am still alive, I will never let the Kobolds hurt you!"

There is a specially separated space under the big house to prevent the cold air from harming the human body.

Xiaoli lifted the movable floor and pushed Li underneath. Li reacted and quickly broke free from Xiaoli's control.

"Master, the Kobolds are coming aggressively. Our defense is not strong enough. You better hide quickly!"

Mr. and Mrs. Li were not at home, and all the militiamen in the town had been transferred away.

The only ones who can defend the town now are some farmers who occasionally receive training and the wounded soldiers lying at home.

"That's enough, Xiaoli. You can't survive if you hide at a time like this!"

If the kobolds can't get in, Li will not be in danger. If the kobolds can break into the town, hiding in the cellar will only lead to a more miserable death.

Li immediately decided to find a way to resist. Whether it was the bonus brought by the earth's memory or Li's own thoughts, they would not allow him to hide in the corner and tremble.

"Master! You have finally grown up! The master made a set of armor for you, and everyone is waiting for the day when you can stand up!"

Seeing that Li was planning to resist, Xiaoli became excited.

Xiaoli threw the movable floor aside, jumped down to the cellar first, and dragged out a large, closed and solid box.

There was no dust on the box, and it was obvious that it was regularly maintained. The moment Xiaoli opened the box, Li finally realized how high his parents' expectations of him were.

A set of shiny mithril armor components were neatly placed in the box, and the gaps between the components were filled with cork shavings.

These wood chips can not only prevent damage caused by metal friction, but also absorb moisture in the air and reduce metal corrosion.

Li had no idea that his parents had prepared a set of expensive mithril armor for him.

The armor components had intricate patterns on them, and Lee also discovered the craftsman's name on the lining of the breastplate.

Although Li did not know this craftsman, he knew that a craftsman who could make mithril armor was not an ordinary person, and this set of armor was also a customized high-end product.

Xiaoli picked up the helmet with excitement, jumped up and dunked it on Li's head.

Looking at Li with the helmet on his head, Xiaoli's eyes turned into little stars.

"Master, put on your armor quickly. You are the most handsome guy in this town. No, in the entire Gravel Hills!"
