The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

When Li returned home, he saw a man sitting in the living room.

Lilith, wearing a white princess dress, sat on a stool in the living room, twiddling her fingers. The lights in the house made Lilith's tranquil face look like an oil painting.

She didn't look like a vampire at all, but rather a princess surrounded by a hint of sadness.

When he saw Lilith, two memories echoed in Li's mind at the same time.

Li, a native of this world, used to catch loaches with Lilith when he was a child.

Li in the dream world had an ambiguous life with Lilith, who had a miserable life.

The combination of the two layers of memory made Li feel complicated about Lilith in front of him.

"Brother Li, long time no see~"

"Ah, Lilith, long time no see."

Li had a lot to say to Lilith, but his father and aunt were there, so Li had to keep his words to himself.

Li went to the kitchen, wanting to cook a good meal to entertain Lilith and his aunt.

Seeing Li going into the kitchen without saying anything, my aunt found it very strange.

"Jack, why is Lee in the kitchen? What about Rose? Where is she?"

Rose is Li's mother, and their relationship can be traced back to before Li was born. This time the vampire came here for refuge, and his target was none other than his best friend Rose.

"My mother has gone to work for the Lord and will be back in a few days. Why did you suddenly want to join us?"

Compared to the gravel hills where the Li family lives, the vampire's original fiefdom is very close to the king's capital. It is a fertile land. The vampire mother and daughter in front of them have no reason to come here.

"If humans could abide by the original contract, I should indeed live the life of a noble lady in the capital. Unfortunately, the good days before are gone."

Jack was stunned by what Lilyholm said, and Lee, who was listening carefully in the kitchen, didn't understand the meaning of her words.

"Well, I'll be frank. The Noble Council has torn up the agreement with the vampire clan, and the Holy Temple has also labeled us as heretics. Now, the land in the south is carrying out a vigorous operation to kill vampires."

Jack knew that the vampire in front of him always liked to play jokes, but something this serious couldn't be a joke.

"That's impossible! Are those congressmen crazy?"

When Jack heard the news brought by the vampire, he slammed the table and stood up. He couldn't believe what he heard. The Council of Nobles actually tore up the peace agreement with the vampire clan!

"I also hope those people are just crazy, but they are scary sane."

Li, who was stirring eggs in the kitchen, heard the important information and immediately came out with a bowl.

"Dad, what is that peace agreement?"

"Ah, vampires were the enemy of humans in the beginning, but in the face of the common threat of demons, the two sides shook hands and made peace. Vampires joined the war against demons as allies."

The peace agreement has a history of hundreds of years. When the human coalition was defeated by the demons and retreated from the southern continent to the northern continent, a part of the vampire clan helped humans cross the strait and made considerable contributions during this period.

However, there are also some vampires who directly defected to the side of the devil, which is also the reason why many people are disgusted with vampires.

Of course, vampires often steal human sheep, and some even bite people directly, so it is natural that they are hated.

Lee asked, gaining useful historical knowledge, and nodded before retreating back into the kitchen.

There were two vampires, one big and one small, both staring towards the kitchen.

Just now, Li's action of stirring the egg liquid with two sticks while talking caused them great shock.

"Jack, where is your son?"

"cooking."

"He really can cook! My goddess!"

The vampires, who were originally not interested in midnight snacks, looked at each other and saw anticipation in each other's eyes.

Lilyhem took out her handkerchief stained with sheep's blood and kept wiping her fingers, waiting for the next meal.

Lilith sat up straight, using the table manners she learned from her human teacher, trying to leave a good impression on Li.

Jack looked at the two vampires, whose eyes were shining like the livestock surrounding the trough, and his originally serious mood was abruptly interrupted.

"Well, the food will take a while, let's continue talking about the problems in the south."

"I'm busy! The scriptures say that we should treat food with piety. Every grain of food the goddess bestows upon us is hard-earned... Oh! I can smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen. Jack, shut up and don't disturb me from praying to the goddess!"

Jack's cheeks twitched as he watched the two vampires chanting the prayers taught in the temple.

It's easy to tell that they have no piety towards the goddess and holy light, but they take the prayer before meals very seriously.

As far as Jack knew, even those clergy who could use holy light only scratched their chests twice before eating. They were not as troublesome as them.

Jack, who was anxious to know the specific situation in the south, could only patiently watch the two vampires fiddling with the cups and plates.

The scene that gave Jack a headache reached a climax when Li came out carrying two large plates.

"Salt and pepper mayonnaise fried noodles, served with soft goat milk soup, please enjoy~"

The goat milk soup was a snack that Li had prepared in advance. He had originally intended to use it to coax Xiaoli and Theresa. Now that the vampire mother and daughter have arrived, Li took this thing out to offer as a token of his appreciation.

The cheese made from goat's milk and topped with sweet honey attracted Lilith's eyes with its beautiful appearance before she even took a bite.

Lilith simply picked up the cheese and ate it bite by bite with a silver spoon without even having time to say a word of praise.

My aunt behaved better than my cousin. She had sensitive teeth and didn't like sweet things.

The salty fried noodles wrapped in thick sauce hit my aunt's taste buds. After taking a big mouthful of fried noodles, my aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief and gave Li a thumbs up.

After gulping down the noodles in her mouth, the aunt finally had time to praise Li.

"I thought you would have a hard life in Gravel Hill, a place like this. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you have acquired such a skill. It would be a shame for the goddess if you don't open a restaurant with such skills!"

Li nodded proudly.

"I already opened a store, but it was smashed by someone."

"Who is it! Why is such a delicious restaurant being smashed?!"

Compared to being criticized as heretics by the Holy Church, the hatred of food being insulted is more serious for vampires.

"It was smashed by a kobold."

"Dog, Kobold?"

Looking at the question marks on the foreheads of the two vampires, Li smiled slightly and passed over the topic.

"Aunt, let's talk about business. What happened in the south?"

Now that Chef Li had spoken, my aunt stopped trying to fool around. However, when it came to the specific circumstances, Lilyhem couldn't say much.

"The capital city rejects vampires, and if they are caught, they will be burned at the stake. So I took Lilith away. But speaking of strange things, we did notice something when we settled in Windmill Bay."

"Something strange?"

"Well, when I was stealing sheep, I accidentally discovered that the granary was on fire, and the person who set the fire was the local lord."

Li and Jack looked at each other, their pupils filled with undisguised shock.
