The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After a busy day, Xiaoli watched the young master go into his room to rest, and then returned to her own room to rest.

The room where Xiaoli lives is about the same size as Li's, but in order to distinguish herself from the owner, Xiaoli made a partition with wooden boards.

Half of the room is filled with cleaning tools, which were once the most important things to Xiaoli a few years ago.

I don’t know when Xiaoli started to relax in the Li family. She touched the cleaning tools less and less, and only picked up a rag and bucket from time to time to clean symbolically.

“I’m being lazy…”

Xiaoli lay down on the wooden bed, with only thin old clothes under her, which made her sleep very uncomfortable.

But this kind of bed makes Xiaoli feel most at ease.

Xiaoli closed her eyes, and after a few breaths, her thoughts began to slow down and she gradually fell asleep.

The trance she felt on the stairs during the day awakened the memories that Xiaoli had deliberately forgotten.

What you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night. In her dream, Xiaoli actually continued the part where she had been interrupted during the day.

"Your parents and brothers have betrayed us. They deserved to die. What about you? Do you want to be like them, or do you want to live?"

After seeing the bodies of her family members with her own eyes, Xiaoli, who was still a child, was so scared that she was speechless.

The murderer's devilish words echoed in her ears. The maid who had been serving the family turned out to be a spy sent by the king.

Xiaoli's family's noble status was granted by the king. After they betrayed the king, they were liquidated. This result can only be said to be their own fault.

But these things were too scary for young children, and Xiaoli didn't even know how to choose.

"I don't want to die! Don't kill me!"

The instinct for survival made Xiaoli cry out, and the maid sighed as she looked at the weak Xiaoli.

Xiaoli survived, but the price was to be trained as a new death warrior.

The king controlled a secret army composed only of lowly boys and girls.

They were selected at a very young age, and after undergoing various cruel trainings, they were tasked with infiltrating the homes of nobles.

If any family has the idea of ​​betraying the kingdom, or does something against the king's wishes, the assassins lying in ambush in their house will eliminate all the problematic people.

Xiaoli was chosen as such an assassin and underwent all kinds of extreme training. Due to her weak character, she should not have been able to survive. However, the maid who killed her entire family pleaded for Xiaoli.

"Her weakness is a good disguise."

Xiaoli passed many tests and became one of the few people left in the training camp.

As for where those eliminated children went, Xiaoli didn't know and didn't want to know.

Xiaoli is the weakest one in the entire assassin organization. Apart from being good at cleaning when disguised as a maid, Xiaoli is basically useless.

After two years of training, the maid who took special care of Xiaoli received a new task, but not long after, the news of the maid's death was heard.

The murderer who killed his relatives saved his life, and then died while performing a new mission.

Xiaoli had no idea what attitude she should use towards the maid, and she didn't even know the maid's name.

No one in the Assassin's organization has a name. They only have code names, and they can only receive code names when they are carrying out a mission.

The king's actions erased humanity and turned people into cold machines, which went against the glorious image he promoted to the outside world.

Many nobles knew that the king was supporting this team of assassins, but they didn't care because many nobles were doing the same thing.

Xiaoli, who has always been at the bottom of the training camp, watched batches of students enter the training camp. Some of them grew very fast, while some, like Xiaoli, could not accept the cruel training.

Xiaoli once imitated the maid and said those words to the instructor in charge of training.

"Weakness is also a good disguise."

Xiaoli wanted to save a girl who was as weak-willed as herself, but the method that the maid had used before didn't work for Xiaoli.

"You are already the weakest person in the training camp. We don't need any more weaklings!"

Xiaoli failed to save the poor girl. She was taken out of the training camp and no one knew where she was taken.

Xiaoli, who should have been punished, was ignored. No one paid attention to her and no one punished her. She became an invisible person in the training camp and even a recognized servant.

From then on, cleaning became the only thing Xiaoli needed to do until several years later.

It was an ordinary day. Xiaoli was sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom. Suddenly, a knight came in front of Xiaoli. He was wearing a helmet and Xiaoli could not see his face.

Xiaoli only received a letter and a task from the other party.

"Contact the Weiser family and keep an eye on a woman named Weiser Rose."

Xiaoli took on the task, opened the envelope and saw the character information imprinted inside with magic.

The letter paper clearly showed the image of Li Ma when she was young.

She had long, slightly curly brown hair and was holding a boy about the same age as Xiaoli in her arms. The mother and son sat on high-backed chairs, silently waiting for the painter's work to be presented.

When Xiaoli saw this painting, she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

Xiaoli was sweating all over and her vision was dizzy. She lay on the wooden bed and retched several times before she slightly calmed down the surging guilt.

Xiaoli turned over and looked at the roof of the room. She had been looking at this roof for several years. It was her personal space in the Li family.

Although her consciousness has returned to her body, Xiaoli is still thinking about herself in her dream.

Several years ago, when she received the mission and saw the photo of Mrs. Rose, she felt joy and the desire to kill in her heart.

Xiaoli was really happy at that time. She was happy that she could finally get rid of her despised identity and become a real assassin, lurking in a noble family.

But Xiaoli, who has lived in the Li family for many years, almost forgot her original mission. Now Xiaoli enjoys every day with the lady and the young master, and recently she has fallen in love with the sour taste of sour fruit wine.

"Why, why do you have to remind me of this!"

Xiaoli hated it so much. If only she was just an ordinary maid, if only she hadn’t experienced those dark and sinister things, if only she was just an ordinary village girl from the beginning…

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you haven't gotten up yet? It's rare to see you stay in bed~"

Li's teasing voice was heard outside the door. After hearing this voice, Xiaoli's whole body trembled violently.

How should she face the young master now?

"Xiao Li, come find me at the cemetery when you're ready. I promised to teach you some magic~"

“…Okay, Master.”

Li did not disturb Xiaoli too much and left after hearing the answer.

The lonely girl in the room hugged herself tightly with her arms and sobbed quietly.
