The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The kobolds attacked the town and everyone was directly threatened. Li thought that the biggest problem of this crisis was the lack of manpower. After discovering the real purpose of the kobolds, Li broke out in a cold sweat.

It’s not Li’s fault that he forgot about the Book of the Dead before. It’s because he didn’t expect that this would be the purpose of the kobolds’ attack on human towns.

"Damn it! As a dog-headed man, isn't it good to fight and grab some food? I even left part of the granary for you on purpose. Isn't this a slap in my face?"

Lee left the big house outside the defensive circle so that the kobolds could get the spoils.

As long as the dogs are busy fighting for the spoils, it will give humans more opportunities to win. It would be even better if the kobolds could retreat satisfied.

Unfortunately, in this world of extraordinary powers, many things develop differently from the normal process, and the mind of the kobold is something that humans cannot understand.

"Wang!"

"Get out of my way!"

Two sturdy ogre warriors, two meters tall even when bent over, blocked the gate of Li's house with their bodies. One of them held a sharp axe and howled at Li.

In order to make room for the battle, the low-level ogres around did not rush up to cause trouble, but stood aside to watch the fun.

This is a duel. Even the beast-like ogres have their own honor.

The armor on Li obviously gave the ogre warriors the illusion that Li was a big shot on the human side.

"Warrior duel? I'm sorry, I'm a magician!"

As the kobolds were trying to decipher Li's common language, a spike suddenly emerged from the ground and sent the kobold warriors into the sky.

The ground spikes are not that powerful. The reason why the kobold can fly so high is that it jumps up with great effort.

However, even though he dodged the fatal blow by jumping, the injury to his vital parts left the kobold incapable of movement.

The originally tall and strong ogre warrior lay on the ground and howled like a defeated dog.

Seeing this, the other ogre warrior immediately tucked his tail between his legs.

Screw the glory of the warriors, everyone come together and kill this cunning human!

As the Gnoll Warrior called out, the surrounding Gnolls rushed forward, and Li and Xiaoli were surrounded by a large group of Gnolls.

...

Hearing the screams of the guards outside the house, the kobold high priest grinned in contempt.

Even though they are people of the same race, the high priest can't stand those brainless dogs.

Only wisdom can bring long-term development, and only civilization can bring a future!

Just like human beings, only by knowing how to build and manufacture can we pass on more wisdom to the next generation. Only by accumulating from generation to generation can the ethnic group become stronger.

The high priest stood in the living room on the first floor, looking at the furniture that humans placed in their home.

The cabinets for storing things not only fit tightly together, but also have exquisite patterns and designs.

The chair is convenient for sitting, and the backrest is curved to support the muscles.

There are also brass-decorated lampstands, the light can dispel darkness and allow civilization to last forever.

The high priest had long felt the mysterious power on the second floor of the house. The call of God was calling him. As long as he went up to the second floor, he could contact God and gain true knowledge.

At this point, the high priest was no longer so anxious. He had been developing his tribe bit by bit over the years, from stealing and sneaking to confronting humans head-on.

"I have been searching and waiting for so many years, so a little while is not a big deal~"

The high priest was very interested in human dwellings. He went into the kitchen and took a piece of leftover black bread, savoring the hard wheat aroma of the bread bite by bite.

The high priest ate the black bread, which was not very tasty for humans, with great relish, because to him it was the taste of civilization.

The high priest went into another room whose purpose was unknown, took out a robe and put it on.

The high priest, wearing new clothes, felt that he was becoming more and more civilized.

Ever since the high priest could remember, the voice of God in his mind had been telling him to get rid of ignorance and embrace civilization.

Now, the high priest felt that he was qualified to meet the gods.

The high priest straightened his body and walked upright like a human being.

It climbed the steps step by step, as reverently as it had climbed the temple in the past.

After going up to the second floor, the high priest passed by the window and looked outside. Two humans who had fought bloody battles were gasping for breath while being surrounded by their own men.

"Foolish struggle."

The second floor consists of a narrow corridor and several closed wooden doors. This is the sleeping nest for humans. It is drier and cleaner than the ones for the kobolds, and does not smell like feces and urine.

The high priest was a little envious. He had always wanted to restrain his subordinates and teach them to be civilized. Unfortunately, the stupid dogs around him would only agree on the surface, but would forget everything the moment they turned around.

The high priest understood that if he wanted his people to truly enter civilization, he must allow more people to receive the revelation of God like himself!

In the innermost room, through the door, there was a faint flash of light echoing with the high priest.

The high priest stood in front of the door and bowed his head respectfully. Then he raised his hands and danced in dedication to the gods.

The high priest had performed the sacrificial dance countless times, and he had never made any mistakes in the past, but this time he danced in a panic.

It thought it was ready, but when it was close to success, its instinct betrayed it.

It is excited, thrilled, and rejoicing about the future of the ethnic group!

The high priest stopped pretending. He was so excited that he couldn't even open the door in front of him.

"Damn, human locks are so difficult!"

The high priest tried to pick the lock at first, but after fiddling with it for several times he failed, and then a holy light lit up in the house.

The last barrier between the high priest and the gods disappeared. Pushing open the tattered wooden door, the high priest looked at the layout of the room with shining eyes.

Beds, lockers, desks and sundries.

What should I say, a little disappointed.

No matter how you look at it, this is a nest of human men, not the human altar as the high priest believed.

"Oh! My great God, they treat you like this. All human beings really deserve to die!"

The high priest immediately saw the faintly glowing Book of the Dead on the bedside table. The thick book looked quite historical, and it seemed to be the crystallization of knowledge and wisdom left by the ancestors of the kobolds.

The high priest responded to the call of the holy book, slowly walked towards it, and picked it up with his paws.

After holding the holy book in his hands, the light on the book disappeared. The high priest believed that this was the holy book's recognition of himself.

"Great God, the knowledge you pass on will be worshipped by thousands of Kobold people, your majesty will be remembered by our people, and your greatness will spread forever in the Kobold world!"

The high priest opened the book of knowledge and wisdom with reverence...

"Woof! Why is it empty?!"

After opening the Book of the Dead, the pages were empty, without even a single word.

From beginning to end, not only is there no record of any dog-headed people, even human writing does not exist. This book is just a blank file with an empty shell!

This book does not record any experience or wisdom, this...it's a scam!

"Damn humans, what on earth have you done to the holy book!"

"Hey~ Is there a possibility that your god has abandoned you, so you can't see anything~"

The high priest turned around suddenly and saw a young human male, covered in blood, standing behind him.

The human was covered in wounds and gasping for breath, but the mockery in his eyes did not subside at all.

Li looked at the Kobold High Priest as if he were looking at a stupid dog.
