The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 29: Hard work but no one recognizes it

As soon as the word "sacrifice" came out, there was a sound of people gasping in shock in the room.

Sacrifice in this world is not as simple as placing a few tributes and lighting incense.

Sacrifice was a bloody and cruel ritual that usually took the life of the victim.

This cruel method was often used by ancient wizards.

Sacrifice your life to summon a demon, or do something more brutal.

"You are indeed a necromancer! Dean, why would you have anything to do with someone like this?"

Xiaoli was very desperate. She had already turned into a monster, but why couldn't she escape the torture?

Amber ignored Xiaoli's wailing. To be honest, she now hated this girl who could only whimper.

"Do you really want to make a sacrifice? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you directly?"

Sacrifice is an absolutely forbidden magic, and no one will allow it to happen. According to Dean Amber's identity, she should kill Li directly.

"Don't look so scared when you mention sacrifice, okay? You've demonized sacrifice. It's actually not as dangerous as you think."

Li patted the magic book and asked him to come forward and explain.

"Okay! The Sacrifice class is now open. Students, please take your seats. Sacrifice is a large-scale magic transfer technique. Its basic principle is similar to teleportation magic, which is to transfer the target object to another place."

"How can sacrifice and teleportation be the same thing? Don't glorify sacrifice!"

Amber knew about the existence of the Book of the Dead, but she did not agree with the explanation given in the magic book.

"In fact, sacrificial magic is commonly used by all major races. It is only because of the bad reputation of demons and wizards that it is not tolerated by the secular world."

"Sacrifice is used by all major races?"

"That's right. The knight's blood slash, the magician's summoning magic, and the clay puppet are all sacrificial magic in essence. There is also the elves' signature skill, life magic."

The magic book gives examples one by one, like bricks, hitting the heads of doubters.

Everyone fell silent and listened quietly to the magic book teacher's lecture.

"Now, there is only one way to restore Xiaoli to human form, and that is to reshape her body."

Xiaoli's body had mutated because of the demonic blood, and it was impossible for her to recover her human form through treatment alone.

"You mean..."

After the explanation, Li put away the magic book and took the initiative to take over the most offensive part.

"Just find a living person, kill his will, and then put Xiaoli in. This is the method with the least consumption..."

Before Li could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiaoli.

"You still say it's not evil, but I will never accept this horrific method of killing others!"

Xiaoli was already afraid of Li, and when she heard him say he wanted to kill someone, she immediately jumped out to object.

Li glared at her. This stupid girl really didn't understand the situation. Everyone was busy helping her. What right did she have to stand up and object?

"Lee, tell me the whole story."

"Well, since you can't come up with enough gold coins and you don't want to kill anyone, you can only cheat your relatives and friends."

Li walked directly to the sofa and sat down, then stuffed the cotton that Xiaoli had picked out back into the hole in the sofa.

"Besides us, aren't there people from the mutual aid society who care about Xiaoli? Shaping a body requires a lot of blood, flesh and magic. If we get more people to share the burden, the pressure will be less."

For a person to make a sacrifice, he needs to give his entire body.

Two people only need half each.

Li made it clear that the more people come forward, the lighter the burden on each person.

"Are you sure this method will work?"

“Guaranteed authenticity~”

Li explained the method to solve Xiaoli's physical problem. Now, all the troubles fell on Amber and Xiaoli.

In order to reshape Xiaoli's body, enough people must participate in the sacrifice.

However, once the number of people participating in the sacrifice increases, more people will know the identity of Li the Undead Wizard.

What if there are a few untrustworthy people among them, or someone spreads the news...

Amber was reluctant to accept such a plan, as it was a huge challenge to her duties as dean.

But after looking at Xiaoli who was curled up like a chicken behind her, Amber finally compromised.

"I can find some trustworthy people to help Xiaoli shape her body."

"No, the people you call trustworthy may not necessarily be trustworthy to me. On the contrary, I am more optimistic about those members of the mutual aid association."

Li had already made a judgment about Amber in his mind that this person was unreliable.

Li believed what he saw with his own eyes more than Amber's assurance.

Amber was humiliated again, but she had no way to refute.

But there is one thing Amber can't understand.

"You've probably never seen a mutual aid group, so why do you believe they can keep secrets?"

Li knew that Amber was a person with a bad brain.

There was no need to explain it in words. Li just kicked the floor with his toes and several rats and cockroaches came out of the ground.

"Aunt Amber, you shouldn't question the ability of a necromancer. Do you think I'm just wandering around~"

As early as the first day when Li arrived at the magic academy, he tried his best to spread spies.

Naturally, he was the first to discover the mutual aid society in the sewer.

Only someone with a rigid mindset like Amber would really think that Li was just wandering around every day.

Li motioned to Lilith to pour himself a cup of tea. After explaining for so long, he felt a little thirsty.

But Lilith came over with an embarrassed look on her face and handed the tea to Li.

"…Lilith, don't you think I'm being lazy?"

Lilith turned around and ignored Li.

"Damn it! I spent so much effort on this mission, but you guys don't believe me! Forget it, you can find whoever you want to deal with this. I'm done with this!"

It was the first time that Li felt so aggrieved. No one around him believed in him, so why was he busying himself for nothing?

"Hey! Don't be angry, it's our fault, we will go find someone right away!"

After calming Li down, Amber quickly went out to contact the people from the mutual aid association.

Only Li, Lilith, and Xiaoli were left in the room.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

"Your name is Xiaoli, right?"

In order to ease the awkwardness, Li took the initiative to break the silence.

“…Yes, my name is Xiaoli.”

"How old are you?"

"Ten, eighteen."

"How many people are there in the family?"

Li's questioning was just like checking the household registration, which completely confused Xiaoli.

Xiaoli looked at Li in surprise, not knowing whether she should continue answering.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Brother Li!"

Lilith couldn't stand it anymore. She had never seen anyone who was so good at awkward conversation.

In order to avoid further entanglement between Li and Xiaoli, Lilith offered herself on her own initiative.

"Brother Li, if you want to chat, talk to me, and stop bullying that girl."

Lilith successfully attracted Li's attention.

"Okay, since you want to talk, let's talk about two dollars. Lilith, do you have a boyfriend?"

Lilith really didn't expect that Li Ga wouldn't even change the topic when they started chatting.

Isn't this obviously a joke?

Lilith's fists hardened.
