The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lian and Carton ran to the magic academy to express their gratitude. Even if Lilith was displeased, she couldn't just kick them out.

Lilith was sulking in the corner of the room while the others were drinking tea and eating spicy hotpot.

The atmosphere in the small dormitory was very lively.

"If you two really want to thank me, sign the labor contract!"

After three rounds of tea and five dishes, Li took out two labor contracts and placed them in front of Lian and Carton.

The contract cover was a common corporate employment contract, but after opening the contents, Lian and Carton's pupils trembled.

"If I want to be your employee, I have to plant a curse in my head?"

"If you refuse to become an employee of your company, you will also be cursed!"

Lian and Carton were dumbfounded. From the moment they opened the labor contract, they were on a pirate ship and they couldn't get off.

"You have such a dark heart. We are really grateful to you and will never reveal your secret."

"Guarantees and promises are the most fragile things. Compared to these, I believe in my own curse more~"

Li, who was eating meat from the hot pot, didn't care at all about what others thought.

Li is an undead wizard. When recruiting subordinates, he naturally uses the methods he is good at.

"You are forcing me. This is unreasonable!"

Signing such a contract is no different from selling yourself directly.

Even though Carton was grateful for Li's help, he didn't want his sister to be tied to Li's chariot.

He would rather get along with Li Ping and others than be the enslaved party.

"The kingdom ostracized your family, and the priest planted a curse on you. Is that fair and reasonable? I haven't seen you raise any objections."

After being confronted by Li, Katon was speechless.

In the face of strong pressure, the weaker party really has no choice.

However, if I can't resist the Kingdom and the Temple, can I resist Li?

"Let my sister go, and I can do whatever you want with her!"

Carton put his sister behind him and confronted Lee.

Li glanced at Katon who suddenly stood up, and was a little confused about this boy's thinking mode.

You were calling me brother-in-law just two days ago, but today you’ve become my enemy?

So what are you two doing here tonight?

Would you like to have some hotpot?

Li was too lazy to explain anything further, nor did he want to use words to convince Lian and Katon.

From the moment they both accepted his help, Li had no intention of getting along with them on an equal footing.

"Curse, activate!"

Lian and Carton were stunned for a moment, and then their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Compared to the IQ-reducing curse that Carton had been hit with before, the curse that Li cast on the two of them was simple and unpretentious.

"it hurts!"

"Help!"

Lian, who was able to fight desperately with the enemy, fell to the ground and twitched. The curse caused pain in her nerves, and this pain could not be suppressed by willpower.

Cotton simply rolled his eyes, and his whole body bounced like a shrimp covered in sauce, knocking over the tables and chairs.

A bone chain hung from the ceiling, and Li used the bones to create a suspended lock and swing, pulling himself and the hot pot into the air.

Li enjoyed the painful expressions of the brother and sister while happily eating the hot pot.

“It’s really good with rice~”

"You are a devil!"

“…The pain is doubled.”

"Have mercy! Big brother, sir, we are willing to join!"

Under the comfort of Li's necromancy, Lian and Katon instantly realized the situation.

When they let go, the pain in their bodies disappeared, and instead a feeling of relaxation spread throughout the body.

It's quite comfortable.

Realizing that their feelings were a bit perverted, Lian and Katon said nothing.

The tables and chairs were rearranged, everyone took their seats, and the lively dinner began again.

"I would like to offer you a cup of tea. Welcome Lian and Carton to join us, Wealth Transfer Co., Ltd."

There was thunderous applause in the dormitory, and everyone had a warm smile on their face.

This scene reminded Li of the time when the leader of his previous life held a commendation meeting...

"Ahem~ Okay, now let's assign the rooms. Carton and Li will sleep together, and Lian will squeeze in with Lilith."

As the oldest person present, Amber arranged the rest directly.

Amid Lilith's objection, this meaningful dinner ended.

Lilith took Lian, who also looked unhappy, back to her dormitory.

In the corridor leading to the women's dormitory area, Lilith spoke to Lian behind her after being depressed for a long time.

"Why do you have to come over here? I've made it clear that you're not welcome!"

“…I’m sorry, Miss Lilith, for the sake of my family, it is necessary to communicate with Mr. Li.”

Lian's attempt to get close to Li was more for the sake of the family; she personally did not have a high opinion of Li.

Especially after Li clearly expressed his attitude towards life.

"Pfft~ You don't understand Brother Li at all. He did that to protect you. As far as I know, he has never actively hurt anyone."

Lilith knew more about Li, so when facing Lian, Lilith naturally felt superior.

"Maybe so."

Lian did not refute. She knew too little about Li, and it was only at the previous dinner that she confirmed Li's identity as a necromancer.

Lian thought that she should go back to her family as soon as possible, tell her father everything, and let him decide what to do next.

Seeing that Lian was in a bad mood and had no intention of getting closer to Li, Lilith ignored her.

After opening the dormitory door and getting a pair of disposable slippers for Lian, Lilith lay down on her little bed, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

"…You don't take a shower?"

Lian held her slippers and looked at Lilith, who smelled like hot pot, and asked a soul-searching question.

Lilith raised a hand as if nothing had happened.

The hand first scratched the itch on the waist, then reluctantly raised up and pointed to the small door on the inside of the room.

"The bathroom is over there. Use the hot water sparingly. The academy charges a lot!"

The dormitories of the Magic Academy are still old-style facilities from a hundred years ago, and hot water is supplied by a boiler in the back.

No one would start the boiler at this time, so if you wanted to take a shower you could only use the remaining hot water in the pipes.

Lilith also started taking showers at night, but every time she washed her hair, the hot water was cut off.

Lilith, who is experienced, is used to taking a shower after getting up in the morning.

Seeing that Lilith really lay down and started snoring, Lian shook her head helplessly and walked into the bathroom quietly.

Since she had no spare clothes, Lian only planned to wash her hands and feet, and also wash her hair.

As Lilith reminded her, when Lian took the shower and wanted to rinse off the foam on her head, the water temperature in the pipe dropped rapidly and there was no heat at all.

Fortunately, it is summer now and the temperature of the cold water is not freezing. Lian just fixed herself on the water casually and walked out of the bathroom.

Lian, with her hair wrapped in a towel, wanted to slowly move to the sofa to get some sleep tonight.

But he found that Lilith's bed was empty.

Lilith was gone, but the window was still open, and the night breeze blew on Lian's face, causing her to sneeze.

"Lilith? Where did she go?"
