The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After leaving the assassin training camp, Xiaoli came to Li with a look of grievance on her face.

Xiaoli thought that by using herself as bait, she could lure out the person who was behind the young master's plot.

As a result, after busying themselves for most of the day, they got nothing. Instead, Xiaoli made up for a lot of regrets with the help of the young master.

Now, Xiaoli really feels that she is useless. Perhaps, just like in the nightmare, staying away from the young master is the only thing that will be good for him.

"Master, it's Xiaoli's fault for making you worry and for making you come all the way to the capital and take risks yourself."

"Xiao Li, why are you saying so much? You are my family, my lovely little maid."

Cute little maid!

Xiaoli's body temperature rose rapidly as she was thinking about how to say goodbye to Li.

To hell with apologies and guilt!

How could the young master's beloved little maid leave the young master!

"Master, don't worry. Xiaoli didn't perform well this time. Xiaoli will work harder and will do better next time!"

“…It better not happen next time.”

Li was really tired of cleaning up the mess for Xiaoli, but Xiaoli was so excited that she didn't hear Li's mumbling at all.

"Master, I've kept you busy for so long, are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Xiaoli will give you something to eat~"

"Okay, Xiaoli, tell me about the Book of the Dead. Has it really never lit up once?"

Li interrupted Xiaoli's unreasonable behavior and diverted her attention to business.

Xiaoli picked up her backpack and showed the Book of the Dead in front of Li.

"It was searched out when I entered the training camp. I told them it was just the shell of the Holy Scripture, which I put in my luggage for prayer."

After investigating for a while, the people in the training camp found that the magic book Xiaoli brought could not be opened, so they really believed Xiaoli's words.

"Master, this book always affected my dreams when I was at home, but after I took it away from the North, I never had nightmares again."

Speaking of this, Xiaoli was also very surprised.

Logically speaking, the Book of the Dead must have its own purpose in influencing Xiaoli's mind.

Why did the influence disappear when Xiaoli left the North?

“…Maybe, this isn’t meant to influence you at all.”

"Master?"

Li remembered the story of the Kobold High Priest. A Kobold who had nothing to do with humans would also be affected by the Book of the Dead.

Combining this incident with the impact Xiaoli had suffered, the purpose of the Book of the Dead can already be seen.

Li had a bad feeling because his ascension ceremony was also completed with the help of the Book of the Dead.

Is the real intention of the Book of the Dead to influence itself, or to create some kind of situation in the North that is favorable to it?

There was too little information for Li to be sure.

This matter weighed heavier and heavier on Li's mind, but there was no good way to solve it at the moment.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Xiaoli pointed to a group of children who were rescued from the training camp not far behind her.

Xiaoli originally planned to end her relationship with Li and take care of these children to make a living herself.

But Li's words "kiss the little maid" made Xiaoli give up the idea of ​​leaving.

"It would be good to take them with us. We can open an orphanage in the capital first, and then expand Fortune Catering. We need a safe place here."

Things have to be done one by one, nothing can be rushed.

Xiaoli's adoptive parents suddenly became wealthy businessmen from the north, and soon used the cash that Li brought with him to buy the private property of the impoverished nobles in the royal capital.

Most of the children who came out of the training camp were confused, and some of them were full of hatred towards Xiaoli and Li.

However, when they slept in a warm house, had enough food to eat, and no longer had to be dragged up for training, the eyes of most of these children became clear.

They have not been poisoned too deeply by the assassin training camp. Compared with the adults who have lost their conscience and go out to lurk and assassinate, these children can still be saved.

But there was one child who seemed to be born an enemy of happiness.

"Emma! Use your knife and fork when you eat, not your damn dagger!"

"Emma, ​​if you're sleepy, just go to bed and sleep. Don't hang yourself on the beam like a vampire!"

Ever since taking on the responsibility of educating Emma, ​​Xiaoli has become more and more irritable.

Many times, Xiaoli's anger was like Rose's, which made Li feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

But Emma just enjoys making Xiaoli angry over and over again, and it's obvious that she does it on purpose.

On several occasions, Li noticed that Emma pulled Xiaoli to parkour around the house.

They were hurling trash talk at each other, but their faces were full of smiles.

Li wrote a letter back to the North, telling his mother Rose about Xiaoli and Emma. He believed that his mother would be happy for them when she learned that Xiaoli had let go of her burden.

"Mom, the situation in the capital is more chaotic than we imagined. We should seize the opportunity to expand our influence in the North."

After writing the last paragraph, Li stuffed the letter into the envelope, sealed it with wax, and waited for someone to deliver it to the north tomorrow.

"Master, it's time to go to bed~"

Xiaoli came up from behind Li and covered Li's body with her woolen coat.

It was the first time that Li heard Xiaoli speak in such a gentle voice, and he was very surprised for a moment.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you today..."

Li turned his head and felt Xiaoli's breath close to him. There was indeed something wrong with Xiaoli today.

"Master, I'm sorry, that bad boy Emma seemed to have put something strange in my water cup."

The gentle voice aroused Li's sensitive nerves as a man.

Li opened his coat and held Xiaoli, who was feeling unwell, in his arms to protect her from the night wind that might make her sick.

"Really? Then when you recover, you must teach her a lesson."

"Master, will you help me teach her a lesson?"

"…No, I think I'll go thank her."

Xiaoli smiled foolishly, which surprised Li.

It was the first time that Li saw Xiaoli smile so beautifully.

"Master, you can't be partial. You have to stand on Xiaoli's side~"

Xiaoli stretched out her hand and drew circles on Li's shoulder, and after a long time she said something.

"Master, I want to hear you say it again, I am yours..."

"A cute little maid?"

"No, it's the little maid who kisses me!"

"Kiss the little maid? I didn't say that. I remember clearly that I said the cute little maid."

Xiao Li hit Li, she just wanted to hear Li say kiss the little maid~

"You can't say such things casually. A cute little maid is fine, but kissing a little maid is too corny. I can't say it!"

Xiaoli, who was originally still in an ambiguous mood, became angry when she heard this.

Xiaoli stepped hard on Li's foot, then turned around and ran away quickly.

"Xiao Li! Don't be angry, Xiao Li!"

Li followed and chased after him. After the man left, a small figure emerged from the shadow of the room.

"These two idiots ruined the good atmosphere I created!"

Emma, ​​who was planning everything behind the scenes, stomped her feet hard.
