The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The former temple of the goddess is now deserted and dilapidated.

The candlesticks and statues had not been cleaned for a long time and were covered with ashes and the dead bodies of mosquitoes.

After passing the statue, there is a long corridor inside with wooden doors symmetrically distributed on both sides. Inside are dormitories reserved for visitors.

In ancient times, there were not many hotels in towns, so pilgrims would choose to stay in churches.

Normally, these small rooms would be abandoned like the church outside because of lack of management.

When Amber opened the door, she thought she would see a compartment filled with miscellaneous items.

however…

"These bastards are actually conducting human experiments in this sacred temple!"

What caught my eye was not old furniture and wooden beds, but a brand new metal operating table.

The latest medical equipment is embedded in the walls on both sides.

The stands on one side of the wall are filled with surgical instruments of various types.

Not to mention the scalpels and hemostats, things like chain saws, sledgehammers, and hydraulic shears were also clearly displayed there.

Amber keenly noticed that there were accumulated blood stains in the corners of the operating table that had not been cleaned, and there were also dark splash marks on the back of the wooden door.

"How dare they!"

If the necromancer was just hurting people privately, Amber wouldn't be so angry.

If the Elder Council just had some shady deal with the necromancer, Amber could understand it.

But she could not forgive the fact that the Elder Council personally covered up the evil research. They were such crazy people, yet they put on an ugly face, pretending that everything was for the kingdom.

Extremely disgusting!

Amber couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately ran and pushed open the closed wooden doors one by one.

Some wooden doors cannot be opened normally because they have been frozen for too long.

Amber simply used magic to break down the door.

As she walked along the road, there were more than twenty rooms of different sizes, and each one made Amber feel cold in her heart.

The small rooms contained individual corpses, while the large rooms were even piled high with corpses.

None of these corpses were normal, some were missing arms or legs, or were completely mutated.

In the last room, a dozen large bats were frozen and stacked.

Amber has seen Xiaoli's appearance after she turned into a demon.

She immediately understood that these corpses were not animals, but living people who had been transformed!

Li, who was waiting outside, watched the setting sun silently.

Under his feet was the old wizard’s skull, and his soul fire was flickering and ready to go out at any time.

Li stepped on the bones and continued to maintain the old wizard's soul fire.

Not long after, a strong wind blew out from the ruins.

Lee covered his face with his hands to avoid the dust getting into his eyes.

When he put his hand down, he saw Amber staring at him with bloodshot eyes like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Li, you knew this a long time ago!"

Li was silent. Although he had not seen the situation inside the ruins with his own eyes, he could feel the tragedy inside through the breath of death.

Li could have gotten away with it by being cynical as he usually did.

But Amber was staring at him seriously, and Li didn't want to deceive her.

"I know."

“…You should have told the truth earlier! Instead of wasting time here!”

Amber does not regret having a conflict with the Elder Council, nor does she regret becoming an enemy of the mages.

Amber only regretted one thing, that was not knowing the truth earlier and letting the other elders run away!

Those elders who are not in the magic academy must also know the secrets in the ruins. These people are all evil villains who have committed many crimes!

Amber pushed Li away angrily and crushed the old wizard's bones with one foot.

The previous respect and pity for the hero were all destroyed the moment the truth was learned.

The old wizard's soul fire only lasted for two seconds before it went out like a deflated lighter.

A hero who dedicated his life to protecting the kingdom died quietly.

This is such a great irony.

The appearance of the old wizard should have caused a bloody storm.

But the result was that his death was almost meaningless.

In the end, only Amber's spirit was stimulated.

Amber grabbed Li's clothes tightly, her eyes red.

The two of them just stood there blankly. It was getting dark and some water drops fell on the back of Li's hand.

"Aunt Amber, it's getting late. We should go back."

Amber didn't say a word and let Li lead her back.

Just like when we came here, we passed the office building, then the dormitory building, and finally returned to Li's security dormitory.

Amber didn't say a word along the way, but Li could feel the suppressed emotions in Amber's heart.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm alright."

Back in the place where there were lights and voices, Amber's depression was not as strong anymore.

After responding to Li's greeting, Amber realized that she had just vented all her dissatisfaction on the young man in front of her.

This is my best friend's son, and I actually let him see my ugly appearance. I feel so embarrassed.

"Aunt Amber, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Having just been expelled from the academy, Amber naturally had no idea what to do in the future.

What's more, having killed an elder with her own hands, Amber wondered if she would be exiled.

"Auntie, what do you think of the kingdom now?"

"It's a stagnant pool of water and a mess."

Amber answered without any hesitation.

Anyone who cares about real things can come to this conclusion.

This is a fact that cannot be covered up by anyone or any public opinion.

"Auntie, what do you think? Do you want to go with the flow, or stay in a corner, or use your own abilities to change everything?"

"Are you kidding me? Even if I wanted to, even if I risked my life, how could I change everything?"

If it was the previous Amber, maybe she would really do something out of her passion.

But having witnessed the evil hidden in the light, she was lost.

Amber is not afraid of being confused because Li will not be confused.

"So, Auntie still wants to be a good person~"

"How can it be so ironic to hear the word 'good person' come out of your mouth?"

No matter from which angle you look at it, Li's style of doing things doesn't make him look like a good person.

But what Li did and the consequences it caused clearly proved that he was a good person.

Amber knew that although Li said he was a bad person, he was not a bad person at heart.

"Aunt Amber, why don't you join my company? No matter what happens to the kingdom, we can keep each other together and we won't have any worries!"

Lee pounded his chest and enthusiastically pulled Amber's hand.

Amber was confused by Li's attitude. She looked at Li's sincere expression and felt...

This guy is fooling people!

"Company? What company? Where is the company?"

"It's my company. As long as you join, I will go and handle the formalities tomorrow. With the great magician in charge, our company will definitely be able to break through the siege and become stronger and bigger!"

After his impassioned speech, Li waved his arms and drew a big circle.

Amber didn't understand what he meant, so she just asked directly.

"What are you doing with your arms crossed?"

"Aunt Amber, I'm drawing a big round cake."

"...You dare to tease your aunt, you little brat, you don't want to live anymore!"
