The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lian was at Li's house and had a bowl of vegetarian mutton noodles.

The light soup noodles are topped with a few slices of tender lamb, and a slightly spicy flavor to adjust the taste.

It was the first time for Lian to have such a comfortable midnight snack, but the way the maid Li looked at people made Lian feel uncomfortable all over.

"A curse..."

Lian originally thought that it would be easy to work in the secret society.

But after talking with Li for a while, Lian was surprised to find that the kingdom was more chaotic than she had imagined.

The temple also knows how to curse people. If you tell this to others, no one will believe it.

But this is the fact, and right now, Lian simply cannot understand why the person behind the scenes wanted to kill Weize's entire family.

Lian traveled quickly and soon returned to the palace.

With the secret order's pass token in hand, Lian was able to easily pass through the palace guards.

Lian returned to the headquarters of the secret society and immediately looked for Lei. Lei seemed to be waiting for Lian and stayed in the headquarters without leaving.

"You're back. How did the mission go?"

When Lian saw Lei, Lei was studying magic on the alchemy table.

The precious magic dust danced and mixed under the control of magic, blooming into colorful rays of light.

"The mission failed, and all members of the Weiser family were killed."

Lei's hand paused slightly, then he turned around and looked directly into Lian's eyes.

"I'm not asking about the Weize family, what about that Li? Didn't you catch him?"

Lei's questioning made Lian certain of one thing: Lei must have known about the murder of Weize's family.

Lei doesn't care about the lives of his own people, he just wants to catch Li. Is he really doing this for the kingdom or for his own selfish reasons?

"I can't catch him."

"What a loser! I thought the strongest of the younger generation of the Freyr family was so outstanding, but he can't even handle a wild boy who betrayed the family!"

Lei changed his previous kind attitude towards Lian and started scolding her without restraint.

Lian frowned as she was scolded. After enduring for a while, she realized that Lei had no intention of stopping, so she simply interrupted him.

"Lei, you are also a member of the Weiser family, don't you care about those dead family members?"

"Family? I treat them as family, but they have never treated me as family!"

Angry Lei grabbed a handful of powder and threw it hard on the ground.

The powder spread along the ground like phosphorescence, burning with a light gray flame.

Lian was afraid of being contaminated by these things, so she quickly retreated to the door.

"Well, look how scared you are. I have no intention of hurting you. Now Li has committed an unforgivable sin in the capital. Your next mission is to capture or kill Li at all costs!"

"Please wait a moment! I don't understand. The Weize family's affairs have nothing to do with Li, why do you want to put the blame on Li!"

Lian has her own judgment on the affairs of the Weize family, and she will not blindly follow Lei's orders.

Seeing that Lian was going against him, Lei became angry again.

"It has nothing to do with Li? Who told you that the affairs of the Weize family have nothing to do with Li? Don't think I don't know that you have a personal relationship with Li, and you must have communicated secretly!"

Lian was a little embarrassed after being exposed by Lei, but Lian had not done anything wrong, so she raised her head and looked into Lei's eyes.

As a result, Lian saw a madness that was not human in Lei's eyes.

"What benefits did that Li give you to make you speak for him everywhere? He is a bastard and he should bear all the consequences!"

Lei's manic words revealed his full anger towards Li.

Lian was very puzzled. Lei and Li didn't seem to have any connection. Where did Lei's hatred come from?

"Frel Lian! You are loyal to the kingdom, right? You swore allegiance to the king, right? Now, accept the king's order and kill Weiser Lee. This is your mission!"

Seeing that Lian had always been opposed to taking action against Li, Lei directly cited the king's order to pressure her.

Lian, who was already dissatisfied, looked at Lei as if he was a madman.

How could this Lei occupy a high position in the secret order when he dared to forge the king's order?

Lian began to doubt whether this secret society was a normal organization. What did the king want to do by keeping such a group of people?

"Why, are you questioning the king's orders?"

"The king cannot possibly issue such an unreasonable order! This is unjust!"

Lian stood there with a passion in her heart, and her fearlessness in the face of power was pleasing to the eye.

Lei covered his face and laughed exaggeratedly.

"Justice? What a ridiculous word! Where in this world is there such a thing as justice?"

Hearing Lian talking about justice, Lei became even more agitated.

Lei's face was distorted, as if something was crawling on his face, and a creepy whisper came out of Lei's mouth.

"The throne of the current king was snatched from the previous royal family. The great nobles of the kingdom today were all rebels of that period. You tell me there is justice in a kingdom composed of such people!"

What Lei said was all true in history, and Lian had no way to refute it.

From this perspective, all rulers in the kingdom should be sentenced to death by hanging.

"And Vizor, the current head of the Vizor family, he is not a good guy either. He deserves to die. He deserves to die! Everyone in the Vizor family deserves to die!"

Lian could tell without Lei's explanation that Lei must have suffered some trauma in his family.

Lian even suspected that Lei had mental problems. How could a person like him still hold such an important position?

"You seem confused. You must be thinking to yourself that I am crazy. I am crazy, but so what? I am loyal to the kingdom and the king. That is enough!"

To Lei, the meaning of loyalty is completely different from what Lian understands.

Lian's loyalty carries with it so many things.

Fairness, justice, rationality and other virtues and creeds constitute a complex and indescribable loyalty.

But for Lei, loyalty has only the simplest meaning.

"No matter what means are used, no matter how many sins are committed, as long as it can bring benefits to the kingdom and the king, it is true loyalty! Do you understand, Freyr Lian!"

Faced with such fanatical loyalty, Lian's face turned pale with fright.

It was the first time for her to face a madman and the intense and crazy emotional expression.

Lian began to doubt herself and what she was insisting on...

"Don't feel sorry for yourself here, Freyr Lian. If you are truly loyal to the kingdom, then find a way to kill Weiser Lee. If you still insist on ridiculous justice, then go back to where you came from!"

Powerful magical energy emanated from Lei's palm, and Lian only had time to raise her arms before she was blown away by the violent impact.

Lian was blown out of Lei's room, and all the members of the secret society in the corridor were looking at Lian.

Their eyes seemed to be asking, what mistake did Lian make to anger Supervisor Lei?

Lian really wanted to explain herself by saying, I didn’t do anything wrong.

But faced with so many masked faces, Lian could only leave in shame.
