The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Is it true that Shimanda knows nothing about the changes in the manor?

This is obviously impossible. The fact that he was so loyal to his master that he didn't notice the uninvited guests in the house is just an explanation that Shimanda was forced to compromise.

The Temple, this huge structure that coexists with the human kingdom, can sometimes even override the royal power.

Even though Ximanda knew that the priest had bad intentions, in the absence of a master to make a decision, she could only try her best to ignore the other party's existence.

However, there is a prerequisite for Ximanda's compromise, that is, the clergy cannot interfere in the treatment of their master.

"Maid of the Freyr family, if you are my enemy, you are the enemy of the entire temple!"

The priest was so eccentric that Ximanda didn't want to pay attention to him, but he kept insisting on Lilith's identity.

How could Shimanda not know that Lilith was a vampire? She was the lecherous cousin of Li. Shimanda knew all about it.

"An enemy of the Holy Temple? You are just an exiled priest, how dare you claim to represent the Holy Temple? Moreover, vampires have always lived with humans. If contact with vampires is betrayal of light, then for the past few hundred years, everyone in the human kingdom has been associating with evil!"

While practicing martial arts, Ximanda is also a visiting professor at the Royal Capital Noble Academy. When it comes to playing word games, Ximanda is an expert.

Every step Ximanda takes adds a layer of murderous intent. This is the deterrent aura of Knight Freyr, which has an effect as powerful as mental disturbance.

The moment Ximanda took out the dagger again, the priest's tense nerves broke. The panicked priest swung his staff directly at Ximanda and launched a stupid physical attack.

Ximanda turned sideways and punched, knocking the priest unconscious with one blow.

"Brother Li, there's no blood splattered here, you're lying to me!"

"…She probably just didn't want to dirty the ground."

Ximanda threw the unconscious priest to the gatekeeper knight and walked towards Li and Lilith who were eating melons again.

Himanda led the two into the manor and entertained them in the flower hall.

Spring has already begun for two months. Now everything in the garden is sprouting, and there is a thriving scene everywhere. Looking at those green leaves, Li's mood gradually improves.

Ximanda is still the great head maid as before, and Li should be able to gain something from this visit.

"Lord Ximanda, the clergy have been causing trouble so blatantly, and the Noble Council has not intervened. What on earth is happening in the capital?"

Ximanda poured Lilith a cup of fine black tea, but Li only had plain water. Ximanda specially prepared plain water for Li. She really worked hard.

"Master Li left early and avoided the chaos that followed. A lot of things happened in the capital, so much so that the family sent Master to the border for protection. Miss Lilith should understand this very well."

Lilith nodded quickly, indicating that she understood Ximanda's tiredness.

The king is carrying out a reform, and no one can predict the outcome. Adhering to the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket, many families have different arrangements.

Not only the Freyr family, but any family with a little bit of ability would place their heir outside the royal capital.

"There is such a thing. It seems that the Holy Temple has made a lot of profit from this change."

Li was quite worried about the situation in the royal capital, but he was now at the border and out of reach of the center of the kingdom, and he had no ability to change anything.

After learning about the situation in the royal capital, Li brought the topic back to the present.

"Speaking of which, it's time for us to take a look at Carton. How could he be injured when he was fine?"

Speaking of Carton, the originally calm Himanda crushed the teacup with one hand.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been concentrating on baking apple pies, I would have gone on the expedition with the young master!"

Cotton's injury made Himanda feel extremely guilty. The young master who was full of energy before going out turned into an idiot who could only drool when he came back. This incident dealt a big blow to Himanda.

Such a serious mistake at work is simply a shame for Himanda. She has never made a mistake since she joined the Freyr family.

"…Lord Ximanda, you should calm down first. There is nothing wrong with the apple pie and the teacup. The guards are the ones who are wrong."

Li's comfort worked. Ximanda stopped blaming herself and instead conveyed a dangerous message to Li.

"Master Li, my knight guards have been protecting Master Cotton closely. But when the master took off his helmet and went to the bushes to drain water, he was attacked by a kobold. There must be something wrong!"

Ximanda smelled a conspiracy from the attack on Katon, so after Katon was injured, Ximanda took care of him personally and did not give anyone the chance to harm him again.

It is precisely for this reason that the clergy become more and more arrogant.

After a brief communication, Ximanda led Li and Lilith to Carton's room to check on his condition.

The corridor inside the building is covered with white marble tiles, and at the end of the corridor is a double-opening carved wooden door, all of which exudes luxury.

Li had to sigh again that the Freyr family was really rich.

"Hello, head maid!"

Four combat maids holding short staffs stood outside the bedroom door. They were Ximanda's subordinates. In terms of loyalty to their master, there was no better servant than them.

"These two are the young master's guests, there is no need to stop them."

The maids nodded and opened the bedroom door, revealing the little master sitting in a wheelchair.

Wearing an off-white noble robe, Carton sat in a wheelchair and looked quietly at the ceiling. A stream of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, forming a long silver thread that stained a part of his trouser leg.

The maids had done their best to make the young master maintain an aristocratic demeanor, but the stupidity and decadence emanating from Carton ruined everything that had been carefully decorated.

After meeting Cotton, Li did not feel any disgust. He just lamented a little bit why this unfortunate child had to suffer such treatment.

"Can I see how he's doing?"

If someone else said something like this, Ximanda would definitely be on guard.

But Li is different. Although Li once had evil intentions towards his young lady, it is precisely because of this that Ximanda regards Li as an admirer of his young lady.

A man who pursues his young lady will naturally not harm the young master.

This is my brother-in-law.

If Li knew what Ximanda was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him. So what if he was a brother-in-law? Aren't brothers-in-law meant to be bullied?

Li walked forward and wiped the saliva from the corner of Carton's mouth with his sleeve. Li looked into Carton's eyes, but could not see any response from Carton's eyes.

Cotton really lost his mind, and his condition was not exaggerated. If things went wrong, Cotton would suffer from dementia forever.

"…Katon, I'll help you, please cooperate."
