The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After Xiaoli betrayed Li and attacked her master, she returned to the capital to deliver the mission.

An assassin who has been lurking for many years has to go through a very long probation period when he returns after completing his mission.

After all, in an era without electronic networks, it was quite difficult to figure out exactly what happened.

During the assessment period, Xiaoli could only stay in the assassin training camp.

This is Xiaoli’s nightmare. All her bad memories are related to this place.

The mottled and dilapidated castle, the dead trees growing in the cracks of the rocks, and the scratches carved on the dead trees are all exactly the same as when Xiaoli left.

But after more than ten years, many things have changed.

For example, the assassin instructor in front of Xiaoli is not as oppressive as the original one.

"Xiao Li, right? The specialties you brought from the North are really good. After your review is completed, I will send you to be responsible for this part of the task."

The instructor, who was dressed in aristocratic clothes but reeked of alcohol, kept praising the northern specialties that Xiaoli brought, which made Xiaoli feel annoyed.

God knows how such a drunkard managed to get into the assassin training camp.

"Thank you in advance, instructor."

Xiaoli cannot leave the training camp during this period. This is the rule of the assassin organization.

With nothing to do, Xiaoli had to hang out in the training camp, and slowly she came to understand the changes that had taken place over the years.

The Assassin Training Camp is a shadow force established by the old king, specifically used to control the nobles throughout the kingdom.

But as the king grew older, he used the Assassins less and less frequently.

Xiaoli recalled the stories about power struggles that Li had told her, and quickly deduced the general situation from them.

When the king was young, he wanted to use the Assassin's Order to help him regain his fiefdom rights.

But the system currently in place in the kingdom doomed the king to failure from the very beginning.

When the king realizes that it is useless for the assassin to kill as many people as possible, he will naturally give up this dark method over time.

Xiaoli was poking at the straw in the room out of boredom. The accommodation conditions in the training camp were really poor. Xiaoli missed the days of living a luxurious life with Li.

"Sister Xiaoli!"

Just when Xiaoli was daydreaming alone, a little girl quietly opened the door and walked into the room.

The little girl's hair was as yellow as dead grass, and it was obvious that she had been lacking nutrition for many years.

The other person's appearance reminded Xiaoli of herself ten years ago.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiaoli, the assassin who just returned from duty, is not very popular.

Although Xiaoli completed the lurking and assassination missions, those were issued by the king more than ten years ago.

Now the assassin training camp has withdrawn most of its investment and is simply unable to pay Xiaoli a suitable salary.

Xiaoli has no official position or job, and her only identity is a senior assassin. People around her wish she would die outside.

“…Sister Xiaoli, I, I’ve heard your story.”

The girl who came to find Xiaoli was named Emma, ​​and she had the same past as Xiaoli.

All my family members are gone, and there is no one I can talk to in this training camp.

"You don't have any friends here, so you came to me?"

Xiaoli leaned her back against the wall with her boots stepping directly on the straw, looking very cool.

"Yes, yes, I want to ask my sister what it's like outside. I haven't been out for three years."

Emma looks no more than ten years old and was brought into the training camp three years ago.

It seems that other things in the training camp have become more relaxed, but this dark point has not changed from the beginning to the end.

"What do you want to know?"

Xiaoli broke the last straw in her hand and interacted with the poor girl in front of her.

"Sister! Can you tell me about your life in the North?"

Seeing that Xiaoli was willing to communicate with her, Emma's eyes lit up.

Emma seemed to be really envious of Xiaoli's days when she was out on missions.

Xiaoli thought about leaving the training camp and going out on missions for a while, and her eyes suddenly darkened.

The painful memories and bad past once again came to Xiaoli's mind.

Xiaoli knew that what Emma wanted to hear was not her own struggles and pain, but the latest news about the North.

After figuring out the taste, Xiaoli pulled the poor child in front of her, took out a piece of candy, and stuffed it into Emma's mouth.

"Let me tell you about the haunted sheepfold. This is very interesting~"

After attracting Emma's attention, Xiaoli recounted the unfortunate story of Lilith attacking a sheep and being kicked in the chin by a hoof.

Xiaoli made herself laugh out loud, but Emma in her arms was speechless.

This was not what Emma wanted to hear, but she couldn't show it too obviously and could only let herself suffer.

"Let me tell you again about the nun who fell into the ditch~"

After criticizing Lilith, Xiaoli took Teresa out for a walk again.

By the end of the joke, Emma's eyes were lifeless.

Only Xiaoli knows the funny part of what she said, so it is really a test for Emma to cooperate with Xiaoli.

“Emma, ​​do you think my life outside is interesting?”

Xiaoli asked suddenly, and Emma came back to her senses.

Emma quickly pretended to listen carefully and forced a smile of empathy.

"Emma is envious of Sister Xiaoli's happiness. Emma thinks that Sister Xiaoli must be living a happy life outside!"

Are you very happy?

Xiaoli thought about it carefully and felt that what Emma said was right. She was indeed very satisfied with her ordinary yet interesting daily life.

Therefore, Xiaoli will not tolerate anyone who wants to destroy all this.

"Okay, you go out."

The activity time in the training camp is limited. Emma thanks Xiaoli for her comfort and says she will come to see her sister again when she has time.

Xiaoli didn't think it would be a good thing for her to see Emma again.

The day passed peacefully, and another boring day began.

At the same time, Emma found Xiaoli and tried to get close to her.

However, Xiaoli was not in the good mood like yesterday and directly refused her entry.

"Sister Xiaoli, did I do something wrong? Why do you hate me so much? You were talking to me yesterday."

Emma's tearful look made people feel pity for her.

Xiaoli, however, was hard-hearted and locked Emma behind the door.

The rooms in the training camp are not soundproof, and the tattered wooden doors have many gaps that let in air.

"Sister Xiaoli, I heard that you went through the same thing as me. Don't you feel sorry for me at all?"

Emma's soft voice penetrated into Xiaoli's ears through the gap.

Xiaoli thought of herself back then and also prayed in the same way that others would let her go.

But the present time is different from the past. Xiaoli knows what to do to completely save poor people like Emma.

"Sister Xiaoli!"

Emma's crying attracted the attention of people around her, and a guard came over and gave Emma a severe lesson.

Xiaoli heard the sound of the whip hitting Emma. The sound was so harsh and hurtful.
