The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The sunlight changes from dazzling midday to setting sun.

Lian held her suffering brother in her arms all the time, motionless.

As a sister, Lian can clearly feel the pain that Carton is suffering.

This was a kind of mental torture that made Carton want to go crazy, but his mind and body were blocked, and he couldn't vent even if he wanted to.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry for you."

Lian's tears dropped down. Feeling his sister's sadness, the ignorant Katon just looked at Lian stupidly.

Cotton's thinking seemed to become even slower. What on earth did that damn priest do to Cotton?

Tick-tick…dong~

At ten o'clock in the evening, the old-fashioned wall clock chimed ten times.

Lian heard the sound of the clock telling time many times that afternoon, but she did not take the ringing of the clock seriously.

However, just after the last time signal rang out, a series of magical lights shone from Carton's head.

The outermost one was the purifying power of holy light, and the following ones were all necromancy that terrified Lian.

An evil and strange force, like black mist, suddenly burst out from Carton's mouth and nose.

The black mist seemed to have life and rushed straight towards Lian's face.

Lian quickly jumped up and distanced herself from the black fog. She stared at the black fog with a determined look on her face, thinking seriously about how to resolve the crisis.

As a result, the next moment, the black fog dissipated as if it had never appeared.

Lian had a dazed look on her face, not understanding what was going on.

"Sister, you actually kicked me away, you really are my sister!"

Carton's painful voice came from the corner of the room. Lian took a quick look and found Carton lying there with his arms and legs spread out, with the remains of a chair on his body.

Lian's cheeks turned red after seeing her masterpiece.

My subconscious reaction just now was to kick my brother away. It’s such a sin.

"Let's not talk about that. Are you really okay, Carton?"

Carton touched his head and found that his mind was very clear.

Carton remembered clearly what Lee did at the luncheon, including what the priest did to him afterwards.

"Sister, that priest is a bad guy. He wants to put a curse on me!"

"Sister, I know. Fortunately, Boss Li helped you arrange defenses in advance, so he didn't notice anything unusual."

"Yes, this way, we owe him even more."

The brother and sister talked to each other. They were happy that Carton was fine, but also a little worried about how to repay Li's kindness.

He cured Carton and saved Lian and a group of guards who were almost dead. Now he has taken on the priest's sinister tricks for Carton.

Lian had come into contact with Li several times, and each time she owed him a favor. She had no idea how to repay him.

Is it really necessary to make Li your husband as Carton said?

Lian pondered for a while, and the more she thought, the more she wanted to laugh. She didn't even realize that she still had those random thoughts and was thinking about love between men and women.

"Sister, we can slowly think about repaying Brother Li, but I think we must teach that priest a lesson!"

It would have been fine if Carton himself had been tortured, but the fact that the priest took the initiative to harm the eldest son was a serious matter.

This shows that you don’t take the Grand Duke seriously!

As night fell, Lian and Katon left the silent cafeteria while discussing ways to take revenge.

...

In the lounge provided by the principal, the priest soaked in a large bathtub, using the hot water to relieve his fatigue.

The priest hadn't done such tiring social activities for a long time, and he was sweating while treating Cotton, which made him very tired.

"Father, are you sure the curse on the Archduke's son is still there?"

"Of course I am sure that the child is mentally deficient and drooling, looking extremely pitiful~"

A magic sound transmission circle flashed beside the priest's ears, exchanging information about Carton with an unknown person in the distance.

"…Just make sure the curse on Carton is still there. You have to work harder and force them to hand over the Black Rose as much as possible!"

"Pfft~ It's just a broken sword. There is no modern magic weapon that is not more powerful than that sword."

"What do you know? Antiquities have their uses. You just need to follow our instructions. Otherwise, the sins you have committed will be made public!"

The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't like the priest and directly used the priest's weakness to threaten him.

The priest sneered. He was not afraid of the blackmail at all. It was just that this matter was in the priest's interest, so he came to carry out the task as requested.

"Heh~ Don't think I don't know about that rumor. Aren't you the secret society just trying to open the kingdom's treasury? These are all things from hundreds of years ago. If they really have such a big effect as the rumor says, they would have been opened countless times!"

The priest is a man who does things to the end, and he is more aware of reality than most people.

The priest didn't believe in the ancient secrets of the kingdom's treasury at all.

"You ignorant fool, don't use your pig brain to speculate what adults are thinking!"

The mysterious man on the other end of the phone was angered by the priest. After cursing, he hung up the phone.

Seeing that the communication array was interrupted, the priest lay down comfortably in the pool, and his fat body squeezed a lot of water out of the bathtub.

"You call me stupid? It's really stupid to put your hopes on something that is illusory!"

The priest took a good bath for a while, and then slowly thought about his next move.

Originally, he came to the Knight Academy just to target the brother and sister Lian and Carton.

But in the process of doing bad things, the priest discovered something interesting.

After climbing out of the bathtub and rubbing his feet hard on the foot mat, the priest put on a large bathrobe and scratched the itchy spot on his right foot with his left foot.

After looking around the room and making sure it was safe and hidden enough, the priest put on a serious look.

The priest opened the suitcase he had brought with him and threw aside the clothes on the top layer.

The suitcase was specially made, and what the priest cared about was under the partition.

There are magical shackles on the partition, which can only be opened with the priest's identity information.

Under the illumination of the magic lamp in the room, two potions contained in glass vessels were shining with a strange luster.

If someone who knows about potions were here, they would find that the potion in front of them is almost the same as the one Xiaoli used before.

"I didn't expect to find the raw materials for potions here. This small Knight Academy is really full of hidden talents~"

The priest saw through Lilith's identity and set his sights on her.

This is also the reason why the priest deliberately stayed in the Knight Academy.

"Well, let's find a chance to contact that girl tomorrow. But the cook is a little hard to deal with. I hope he can figure it out and not go against me!"

The priest put the box away and sat in the rocking chair in the room, thinking about how to capture Lilith.

As for Li who was protecting Lilith, the priest didn't take him seriously at all.

He is just a young man. Even if he possesses mysterious cooking skills, he cannot stop the priest from doing his job.

But the priest didn't notice that in the corner of the room, a spider was quietly waiting for its prey to fall into its web.
