The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After returning to the Magic Academy, Li became more and more angry. Seeing that Lilith was still distracted, Li made up his mind that he had to make a change.

"Let's go find Amber."

Lilith, who was being pulled by Li, looked confused. They often had dinner together these days, and Amber was not uncommon.

But Li seldom talked to Amber about things. After all, Amber was too upright, and the two of them would quarrel over disagreements after just a few words.

With doubts in mind, Lilith followed Li and knocked on Amber's door.

"Hey? We're having hotpot again today?"

"Aunt Amber, your mouth is covered with bubbles, and you're still thinking about hot pot!"

Amber has been suffering from severe sore throat recently. In addition to the impact of eating hot pot, Amber's own situation also brings her considerable burden.

Having killed the elders of the academy and been stripped of her position as dean, Amber no longer had to worry about work.

She naturally had enough money to live on, but the sudden free time made Amber lose her sense of direction.

Amber, who came out to open the door, had rough hair and a dull face, like an old woman who was crushed by life.

"Since we're not having hotpot, then why are you here? Wouldn't it be better for you two to spend some time together?"

Except during meal times, Amber would never give Li a good look.

Even though Li allowed Amber to invest some money in the Fortune Company, it did not bring Amber much happiness.

"I came to see you today because of something important!"

Li stopped laughing and walked past Amber into the room.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Amber looked outside and after confirming that there was no one outside, she locked the door.

"What! You were robbed again?"

Li told Amber about being stopped by the nun on the way back, which caused Amber to exclaim.

The last time he was stopped by Lian and Carton, it caused Li a lot of trouble, and this time it was even worse.

"Is the other party really a nun from the temple? Will there be any problems if you refuse to cooperate?"

Amber's focus was the same as everyone else's, worrying that Li's refusal would cause trouble.

Li didn't care about the nuns or anything, he just wanted to minimize accidents.

"what do you mean?"

"I plan to buy a property in the city between the two colleges."

Amber and Lilith didn't expect that Li would suddenly change the topic to real estate.

This is really unexpected.

"Why did you suddenly think of buying a house?"

"Yeah, if you just want to solve the traffic problem, wouldn't it be better to buy a car?"

Buying a house is a big deal, and the bigger the city, the harder it is to buy a house.

The only city located between the two academies that fits Li's idea is the Sage City.

The housing prices in this place are extremely high.

As soon as Li put forward his idea, he was opposed by the two women. Under this circumstance, continuing the discussion would not produce the result Li wanted.

"Lilith, we are currently living in a dormitory at the Magic Academy. What do you think if we change it to a two-bedroom house?"

Lilith didn't understand it at first, but she thought Li was spending money recklessly.

But if you think about it carefully, wouldn't it be possible for us to live in the same room if we had a house?

Why do you want a two-bedroom house? It would be better to just have a one-bedroom!

No, a two-bedroom apartment will do. When I have children in the future, I can free up one of them for a children’s room.

Li Ke didn't know that Lilith had thought so much in such a short time.

"Li, even if you can convince Lilith to let you buy a house outside, where will you get the money?"

Amber despises people who rely on their parents for support the most. If Li dares to say that he wants to go home and ask his parents for money, Amber will definitely kick Li out of the room.

Li didn't answer, but just stared at Amber, which made Amber feel creepy.

"What are you staring at me for!"

"Aunt Amber, have you forgotten that I haven't received the reward for the mission yet?"

Li's words were like a spell that froze Amber, and she felt like she was struck by lightning.

When Amber asked Li to help solve the problems of the Magic Academy, she did offer a hefty price.

But at that time, Amber was still the dean of the college, and part of her remuneration could be paid from the college's public account.

Now...

"I'm not the dean anymore, and I can't afford the things I promised you!"

Hearing Amber's excuse, Li looked confused.

"Oh? Can the expenses of the secret society also be written into the public account of the academy? It turns out that Aunt Amber, you are not so unreasonable and you are also capable of petty gains and losses~"

Amber's reputation was damaged, but she couldn't say anything to refute it.

Seeing that Amber was about to default on his debt, Li didn't hesitate any longer and directly reached his hand into the magic book.

After scratching for a while, Li withdrew his hand, and the shining gold coins appeared in his palm.

One handful, two handfuls, one pile, two piles, under the greedy gaze of Lilith and Amber, Li produced a handful of gold coins.

"Li! How do you have so much money?"

“It’s too extravagant to just buy a house with full payment!”

Lilith and Amber couldn't wait to dive into the pile of money and swim.

"Heh, as a necromancer, it's not too much to sell secret medicine occasionally and dig up ancient emperors' tombs, right~"

When Amber learned the source of the money, her cheek twitched, but Lilith did not feel disgusted at all, and even used her teeth to confirm the authenticity of the gold coins.

"Aunt Amber, I have something for you. Rent an office in Sage City. It will be the office of the Fortune Company in the future. The rest is to find a place to live."

Amber held the gold coins in her hands, her face full of questions.

"Leave such a big thing to me? Is that okay? And what are you going to do?"

Li Bai glanced at Amber and thought to himself that there was a hidden curse on Amber. He was not afraid of running away with the bucket.

As for what Lee will do...

"Don't we need to manage the canteen? Don't we need to educate the apprentices? You are the one with the least time to spare among all the people. If you don't do this, who will?"

Amber is sad all day long because she has too much free time.

Li has found something for Amber to do.

At the same time, Amber is also the nominal legal representative of the Fortune Company.

A tool should have the awareness of a tool. As an aunt, Amber deserves to run around for Li!

After scolding Amber for a while and then throwing the troublesome chores to Amber to do, Li felt a sense of relief.

With a happy mood, Li had a good night's sleep.

The next day was sunny and the air was not so hot in the morning.

Looking at the sparrows flying across the road from time to time, Li felt that today was another beautiful day.

As a result, the beautiful day came to an abrupt end.

"You two bad guys, I finally caught you!"

Standing in front of Li and Lilith was the strange nun from last night.

Different from the dazed state she was in when they met last night, the nun was now staring at Li viciously.

"You actually left a weak woman like me on the street! How can there be such evil people like you in the world? What if I was picked up by a drunkard when I was all alone? What if I sold myself for a living? What if a wild beast swallowed me up..."

The nun's tone of condemnation went from strong to vague. When she finished speaking, she suddenly squatted on the ground, clasped her hands together and prayed to the goddess.

"Great Goddess of Glory, please forgive the believers' fantasies. I am guilty..."

Li and Lilith stared blankly at the nun's confession, and saw her emotions switching back and forth between excitement and regret.

Li and Lilith looked at each other and took a step back at the same time.

"Brother Li, you were right to ignore her yesterday. This nun is mentally ill!"
