The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li, who had consumed too much magic power, urgently needed to rest.

After everyone entered the city, they immediately dispersed. Lilith and Xiaoli helped Li back to the hotel room.

Li lay down on the bed and began snoring violently like an electric drill.

Lilith glanced at Li with disdain, then helped Li undress so that he could sleep more comfortably.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing standing there?"

Xiaoli is usually responsible for helping Li fall asleep.

According to the normal rhythm, when Lilith was taking off Li's coat, Xiaoli would definitely get the water and take over Lilith's work.

But now, Xiaoli didn't move at all, as if she had lost her soul.

"Xiao Li, are you still thinking about what happened just now?"

Lilith noticed that Xiaoli's mental state was a little dazed. It must be because the resurrection magic was not used, which made Xiaoli disappointed in herself.

"Lilith, I don't need your comfort at all!"

"...Xiao Li, you should go and rest first. You won't be able to take good care of Li in this state."

Xiaoli was awakened by Lilith and immediately noticed her own abnormality.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me, I'll go back to my room first!"

Xiaoli realized that she was mentally abnormal and quickly ran back to her room.

Soon after she ran back to the room, Xiaoli's eyes gradually lost their luster.

Xiaoli opened the backpack in the corner, took out a flashing magic book from it, and lay on the bed holding the book.

After a few breaths, Xiaoli quickly fell asleep.

In the dream, Xiaoli returned to the time when she was in the killer training camp. She experienced those cruel things again and opened the letter to assassinate Weiser Rose.

"I will try my best to complete the task!"

Xiaoli was very excited. She was finally able to leave the training camp and participate in formal tasks.

In the training camp, she learned various disguises and assassination techniques, and also learned to suppress her own humanity.

After leaving the training camp, Xiaoli changed her appearance and became a homeless child on the streets.

While wandering, Xiaoli set her sights on a kind-hearted businessman couple.

The couple operated a carriage, and they would form a caravan with other small merchants who also owned carriages to deliver goods for the lord once a week.

The cargo was sometimes firewood, sometimes food, and more often fruit.

The couple didn’t earn much, but they would buy the rotten fruits that the lord didn’t want and give them to street kids.

Xiaoli would go over to get the fruit every time, but she was always the last one standing.

"You are the last one to come."

"The rest are too rotten to eat. You can eat this."

The couple took out a pancake from their arms and handed it to Xiaoli.

Xiaoli took it shyly, broke off a small piece of the cake, and returned the rest to the couple in front of her.

The couple touched Xiaoli's head with heartache and talked to each other in a low voice.

"If our daughter could grow up to this age, she would definitely be as well-behaved and sensible as her."

"Who says it isn't?"

After swallowing the biscuit, Xiaoli raised her head and wanted to look at the couple's faces, but she found that both faces were blurry and had no fixed facial features at all.

"Where do you live, kid?"

"If you don't mind, please help us."

Since then, Xiaoli became the couple's adopted son, helping them feed the horses and drive the cart.

Having successfully transformed from a homeless child to the adopted son of a small merchant, Xiaoli is one step closer to her goal.

After participating in business trips many times, Xiaoli was able to meet the lord occasionally.

Xiaoli had never spoken to the lord, but she could hear the general news from the side.

"The Weiser family is splitting up, and a girl actually wants to be independent. She's really too bold~"

When the lord was chatting with others, his words were full of contempt for Viser Rose.

In this era, most people only regard women as tools for marriage. Even if a woman is born into a noble family, a woman who is not in a position of power can only become a laughing stock in the conversations of men.

Xiaoli wondered in her heart, why was her mission goal being ridiculed by others?

If Vizor Rose was really that useless, how did he get the assassination mission?

In the training camp, Xiaoli learned a lot of skills in collecting intelligence.

The instructors have taught us that most of the information hidden in rumors is exaggerated or even completely contrary to the truth.

Xiaoli felt that Weize Rose must be the opposite.

After many confirmations, Xiaoli found out the situation of the Weize family.

The target of the mission has completely fallen out with his family and will be driven out of the capital at the end of the month.

Contacting the target while he is being driven out of the capital is the best chance to infiltrate him.

Xiaoli will not miss such an opportunity!

"A caravan will arrive outside the city at that time. You'd better be clean."

In a bandit's lair, Xiaoli was issuing orders like a master.

The robbers laughed when they saw this and didn't take Xiaoli seriously at all.

Seeing this, Xiaoli was not angry. A dagger appeared in her hand and she jumped directly into the arms of the bandit leader.

A moment later, Xiaoli became the new bandit leader.

"Remember, do it cleanly."

"Yes!"

The robbers who were kneeling on the ground obeyed the order one after another.

Afterwards, Xiaoli drove the carriage out of the city as usual.

The other passengers in the group were already familiar with Xiaoli, a hardworking and capable child, and they all greeted her when they saw her.

"Where are your parents? They've pulled a truckload of goods and there's no one to help you. When they unload the truck, they might crush you, little girl~"

Everyone around her laughed, but Xiaoli bit her lips tightly.

"My parents are at home counting the goods, so I'm the only one making the delivery this time."

"Really? When we get to the lord's manor, I'll help you unload the goods."

Hearing the driver next to her say this, Xiaoli bit her lips even tighter. The smell of blood rushed into her throat through her teeth, making Xiaoli feel nauseous and want to vomit.

After walking some distance out of the city, dust rose up on the road in the distance.

The convoys stopped one after another, and the drivers turned around and picked up their weapons.

The drivers formed a battle formation, holding wooden spears and axes and facing the enemy in unison.

However, what they saw before them was a group of experienced bandits on horseback.

The experienced bandit knew very well how to deal with a group of coachmen, and it didn't take him much effort to chop them all down.

Only Xiaoli was left, standing in the middle of the battlefield, suppressing her emotions and watching everything with indifference.

After the robbers were done with the situation, they came over to Xiaoli.

"Boss, everything was done as you said. No one was left alive..."

As soon as the robber finished his report, he saw his companions dragging two people out of the truck.

They, a man and a woman, are Xiaoli's adoptive parents.

Xiaoli's indifferent expression disappeared.

"Aren't you guys at home? Didn't I tell you to just leave the delivery to me?"

Xiaoli was shaking all over. She didn't expect that her adoptive parents were hiding in someone else's truck and got involved in this incident.

The adoptive parents originally wanted to give Xiaoli a surprise. Today is the first anniversary of their adoption of Xiaoli, and they wanted to take Xiaoli to the city for some fun after the event.

As a result, the adoptive parents hiding in the carriage received the surprise prepared by Xiaoli.

"You, you actually colluded with the robbers!"

"We don't have a daughter as vicious as you!"

Xiaoli, who was cursed by her adoptive parents, was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

She noticed that she was in a hotel room and the experience in her dream had happened ten years ago.

However, after ten years, the memory that Xiaoli tried so hard to forget appeared vividly in her dream.

Even after waking up from the dream, Xiaoli's hands could still feel the stickiness and warmth of that time.

"Ah! Woo! Dad, Mom..."
