The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The entire conversation between Prince Leon and Lian was overheard by Lei.

It might not be quite correct to say that he was eavesdropping, because Lei Da had been standing in the shadows nearby from the very beginning.

For Lei, who also comes from the Weize family, it is easy for him to hide himself in the shadows.

It was just a pity for Leon, who was caught red-handed by Lei for saying bad things in front of others.

"Your Highness, you are of noble status. It is not a good habit to speak ill of others behind their backs~"

Lei gave Leon his signature twisted smile, which made his hair stand on end.

Leon pulled Lian and ran until Lei was out of sight. Then Leon stopped, panting.

Lian was a little puzzled. Leon was so afraid of Lei, so how could he have the courage to steal Lei's girl?

"I'm sorry to let you see my embarrassing side, but that Lei is very scary and I don't want to get involved with him."

Leon took out a gold-embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face bit by bit.

Lei did not chase after them. It seemed that the conflict between the two had not escalated to the point where a winner had to be decided.

"You must be confused. Actually, that Lei is really not normal."

After struggling for a while, Leon decided to tell Lian some secrets about the Weiser family.

If Lian doesn't know the specific situation, many things that follow will be difficult to handle.

"I read about the Wiese family in the royal collection. They were once the most powerful wizard family in the kingdom, and they mastered magical secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."

The beginning of Leon's story is pretty much the same as Ray's own account.

"The Weize family knows the secrets of the devil. Their family has passed down the art of necromancy from generation to generation. However, about two hundred years ago, a branch of the Weize family harmed the head of the family for their own benefit."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"That's right. The current Weize family has lost its ancient magical heritage. The Weize family has been declining rapidly since then."

The history of the decline of the Weize family was told by Leon, and Lian was able to complete the information about the Weize family.

"The decline of the Weize family has been going on for nearly two hundred years. What does this have to do with Lei and Li?"

"Because... the Weiser family is unwilling to accept the loss of their status and magical power."

It is unbearable for a once glorious family to decline due to the loss of its inheritance.

The Weize family began to collect information on necromancy, and even used the half-understood ancient magic to explore the mysteries of magic.

"The Weiser family passed down a Book of the Dead, but no one knew how to use it. They began to test the young people in the family, trying to make them regain the secrets of magic."

"Using young members of the tribe as tests! What a cruel thing to do!"

Hearing this, Lian was shocked. She didn't expect the Weize family to be so crazy.

"Nobles will do anything to maintain their status~"

Leon made a joke, because he had seen too many disasters happen in aristocratic families.

The concubine killed her mistress, the younger brother killed the older brother, and in order to inherit the family property earlier, the son poisoned his father with his own hands.

The king's desk was piled with these matters that were kept secret from the outside world.

"Then these things..."

"You're right. In this generation, the person selected from the Weiser family to devote himself to the study of dark magic is Lei!"

It turned out that Lei was a test subject of the Weize family. No wonder he had such a strong hatred towards the Weize family.

"It's right for him to hate the Weiser family, because when I first saw him, his body was swollen and twisted, and he looked like a monster..."

Prince Leon recalled the scene and shuddered with lingering fear.

"It is said that the Weiser family would place babies in places with a strong concentration of dark elements and feed them alchemical potions and magical materials."

Lian couldn't believe what she heard. Such an evil thing actually happened to someone she knew!

"Lei said that the Weiser family would install the body of an undead into his body, and then use potions and magic to keep him alive. A few years ago, he finally found an opportunity. Lei ran into the palace and knelt down to pledge allegiance to my father."

A few years ago, a monster named Lei broke through the blockade of the palace and rushed straight into the king's room.

The monster did not harm the king, but knelt before him and begged for help.

"Lei asked my father to help him get rid of the Weize family. As long as he can leave that crazy family, Lei is willing to do anything for my father."

After Leon told Lian about how Lei joined the royal family, Lian was terrified.

Put yourself in Lei's shoes. If you were Lei, you probably wouldn't be able to survive the crazy magic research.

"I know the reason for his madness, and I also know his loyalty to the royal family, but I still don't understand why Lei resents Li?"

Lian finally learned about the Weiser family from Leon, so she asked more directly.

Leon did not hide the fact that he needed Lian's support and was naturally willing to share these dangerous stories.

"You know, the magic research of the Weiser family has been passed down from generation to generation."

Lian tilted her head, motioning for Leon to continue.

"That is to say, Lei's suffering should have ended years ago, because the Weiser family would have chosen a new member to replace Lei as the test subject."

"So, Leita..."

"Yes, Lei was disappointed. He thought he had spent half his life for the family and had fulfilled his obligations. Who would have thought that the test subject that was supposed to be rotated was missing. Lei was told by the family that he had to continue to endure the magic research."

"The test subject is missing!"

Leon looked at Lian's surprised expression and completed the last missing link of the Weiser family.

"Yes, the new test subjects of the Weiser family should have been Rose and her child."

The family has secretly arranged the corresponding matters, but Rose refuses to accept her fate.

No one knows whether Rose is aware of the family's internal secrets. All we know is that Rose betrayed the Weize family.

Rose left the Weiser family, ran to the north, married an adventurer, and gave birth to a child named Li.

Although she seemed to have lost the support of her family, Rose's rebellious behavior allowed her and her child to escape the evil and darkness that ran in her family.

"The new test subject should be Li, but Li ran away, so Lei has to continue to bear the brunt..."

Lian was extremely surprised. She didn't expect the situation of the Weize family to be so complicated.

From this, it seems that Lei has sufficient reasons to hate Li so much.

"Wait a minute, Li has left the Weize family, and Lei has also joined the royal family and left the family. Doesn't this mean that the Weize family's magic research has been interrupted?"

Leon nodded. Theoretically speaking, the Weiser family's magic research was indeed interrupted.

But no one knows the truth.

Just the night before, right before Lian's own eyes, the entire Weize family was cursed and killed. What secrets are hidden in this? I'm afraid even the parties involved don't know.

After learning the entire story of the Weize family, Lian felt like a helpless butterfly caught in the kingdom's net.

Struggling is just to survive a little longer.
