The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Amber had eaten beef hotpot not long ago and knew that the price of beef was about fifty copper coins per pound.

A bison can grow to nearly two thousand kilograms, and the price of its flesh and blood alone is worth twenty gold coins!

This doesn’t even include the fur, there’s also the value of the horns!

Amber was calculating on the abacus in her mind, her eyes sparkling.

These honest Highland students in front of her were not poor people who needed her pity; they were gooses that laid golden eggs!

Amber already knew that the North was dumping goods into the southern part of the kingdom, and Amber believed that the wealth of the North would grow at an incredible rate.

When this magic academy was first established, he firmly held the position of the dean...

Hahaha~

hahaha~

Amber suddenly burst into laughter, startling the students around her.

Amber immediately realized that she had lost her composure.

"Hey~ You are all good candidates for learning magic. I'm going to talk to the Governor-General to confirm the procedure for becoming the dean of the academy."

"Lord Amber, so you have decided to stay!"

The children retreated with cheers. Seeing their appearance, Amber recalled the lawless days when she and her best friends were still an apprentice.

“It really makes me miss it~”

Amber found that she had not been as happy as she was today in many years.

Staying in the tense environment of the royal capital, Amber was gradually assimilated by the capital and became a person without happiness and preferences of her own.

It wasn't until she met her old friends again and a young man who looked very much like herself in the past that Amber slowly realized that the hole in her heart was filled.

Amber decided to give it a try to be the dean here.

There is a saying that goes, "In life, we must be brave enough to try."

"Aunt Amber! How was your visit to the academy? I tell you, if you come to be the dean here, I can't guarantee anything else, but you can eat as much beef and mutton as you want. I will also make you a small cake by myself..."

"You've been standing outside waiting for me to come out?"

"Yes, leaving Aunt Amber here is an important task my mother gave me!"

"…Don't worry about it. I finally came to the North, so I have to stay here for a while."

Amber, who had made the decision, walked away with confidence, leaving Li stunned.

Li thought that in order to keep Amber, he had to do it himself, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"In that case, I can focus on other things~"

Li entered the academy and went straight to Amber's dean's office.

The decoration of this room was personally directed by Li, and he knew exactly where each piece of furniture should be placed.

Li Ziran also knew where to put the important things so that Amber would find them at the right time and pay attention to the information he left behind.

Li sat down on the chair prepared for Amber, supported his chin with both hands, and looked carefully at the bookshelves in the room.

There is a bookshelf on each side. Amber is right-handed, so she would probably be used to looking a little to the right.

When sitting, your sight will just stay on the third row of the bookshelf, and when standing up, your sight will be level with the fourth row.

If you want to hide a book in a bookshelf and want Amber to find it in time, the best choice is naturally...

Li stood up, lifted the cushion he had been sitting on, and placed the two books he had carefully prepared under the cushion.

Li sat back and tried it again. After putting two books under the chair, the chair was still very uncomfortable.

Li nodded with satisfaction, stood up and left the Magic Academy.

"It's time to go check on Xiaoli. I hope she's still holding up."

Li left quietly and no one else noticed.

By the time everyone noticed that Li had disappeared, Mom Rose was still chatting with Amber.

"Speaking of the past, when we first became adventurers, we made a lot of jokes~"

"I still remember you were caught by a group of goblins and dragged into the cave screaming. Fortunately, Jack was leading the team to clear out those goblins, otherwise you would have become the saint of that tribe~"

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it because the trap you set didn't work and the magic went wrong at the critical moment that caused me bad luck?"

"But when I heard you being captured by the goblins, there was a hint of excitement in your shouts~"

"Go to hell! I was only happy because Jack saved me!"

Rose, whose secrets were exposed by Amber, was so angry that she wanted to strangle someone, and the two beauties started to wrestle with each other.

Just at this moment, a big bat fluttered in from the window.

When Lilyhem saw the disgusting scene, she wished she could dig out her eyeballs and wash them.

"Stop it, your son is gone."

Rose, who was riding on Amber, immediately stopped playing around upon hearing this and got up obediently to handle her official business.

Amber still didn't quite understand. Li was a grown man, and he didn't need his parents to control him when he went out to play. Why did Rose look like her father had died?

Seeing that Amber was confused and didn't understand the situation, Lilyhelme helped her to fix her exposed robe.

"Amber, all the unique changes you have seen in the North are due to the boy you mentioned. You should have been to the magic academy."

There is no need to say more about the rest, Amber also knows what it means.

"You mean, those crazy conjectures were also made by Li!"

Following Lilyhem's affirmation, the three women in the room all lowered their voices.

The previous happy atmosphere was gone, and a heavy burden was placed on everyone's shoulders.

Rose gave Amber the documents to appoint her as the dean of the academy, and Lilyhem flew into the distant sky against the cold wind.

Amber, holding the appointment letter, looked at Lilyhem's unprecedented posture. While feeling puzzled, she also slowly realized that something was wrong.

"That woman Lilyhem said she hated flying in the cold winter."

Every winter, Lilyhem hibernates in the sheepfold. Lilyhem has never been so concerned about her dead husband.

"I heard that Rose's son and Lilyhem's daughter are planning to get married. As expected, the mother-in-law is willing to do anything for her son-in-law~"

Amber silently complained about Lilyhelme, not knowing that she was giving off the aura of a single person.

The two best friends both have reliable children, but Amber is still alone.

Amber, who has been single for thousands of years, came to the Magic Academy with a letter of appointment.

When the teachers and students saw that Amber really accepted the appointment as the dean, they immediately gave her the warmest welcome ceremony.

It was the first time for Amber to be noticed by so many people. She was a little shy. Standing in front of everyone, she could only say...

"I am your dean!"

Feeling ashamed, Amber declined the dinner invitation from her students and teachers.

She returned to her office, regretting that her speech was too brief.

"Why is this stool uncomfortable to sit on?"

Amber twisted and turned on the chair, and the cushion had already been worn crooked, and the two books that Li had hidden in advance were easily exposed.

Amber picked up the book and smoothed out the wrinkles she had pressed.

"The theory and practice of resonance magic... On the feasibility of a large-scale teleportation system! What the hell is this!"

Amber, having already been broken once, feels like it is about to break again.
