The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The king's attendants were dressed in white and looked like undertakers.

Li was taken inside the king's palace and walked through a long corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, there are half-human-high statues of goddesses and flower beds placed at intervals.

The flowers and plants inside were not well taken care of, and Li observed a lot of withered and yellow debris.

Come to think of it, the royal capital has not yet accepted ecological greenhouses, so it is definitely impossible to produce flowers and plants that can grow luxuriantly in early spring.

Even the scraps inside the flower bed were brought from all over the kingdom at great expense.

Li felt a sense of expired luxury from the layout of the palace.

This feeling is hard to describe...

It's a bit like seeing an old man driving a red-headed tractor that's puffing out smoke on the highway.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

The old king waved his hand, and the servants tactfully withdrew, leaving Li standing alone at the door of the room.

The old king has the most basic features of humans in this world, burnt yellow hair and ice-blue eyes. He must have been a handsome guy when he was young.

Li remembered the face of Prince Leon, and he felt sorry for the old king.

The hero could not resist the erosion of time and eventually became the dying man before our eyes.

The skin on the old king's cheeks was sagging and his eye sockets were sunken, making him look like a wizard in a fairy tale.

Fortunately, the king's aura maintained his final dignity.

"Your Majesty, I am a dangerous person. Is it inappropriate for you to meet me alone like this?"

Li looked around and saw that there were really no assassins hiding in the palace. He said this with a nervous mood.

The old king laughed out loud after hearing this. It seemed like he hadn't laughed for a long time, and his dentures popped out of his mouth when he laughed.

The old king caught it in a panic and pushed the dentures back into his mouth.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. An old man like me is not worth your effort. After all, I might die one day~"

The king was in a mood for jokes, and his mental state was more relaxed than Lee had expected.

Someone like the old king, who has been in the highest position for a long time, no longer cares about putting on airs to save face.

Power is him, he is power, so the old king behaves like an ordinary old man.

The old king waved his hand, motioning Li to come closer and sit down in the front seat.

Li didn't understand why, but he still did as he was told.

Just as Li sat down, the old king suddenly made a move and ran his fingers across Li's neck.

Li felt a sharp breath brushing against his neck. He raised his hand and touched it, and found that the old king had attacked him.

Li quickly used magic to heal the wound, and at the same time, his eyes became very solemn when he looked at the old king.

"I may be an old man, but I was the strongest warrior in the kingdom when I was young. It's hard for me to move now because my legs hurt so much, but my arms are still working fine~"

The obvious threat made Li swallow his saliva.

Why do we always encounter such powerful warriors recently? Li is a wizard, so can't there be some magical enemies so that both sides can engage in a magic battle!

"Your Majesty, please tell me why you called me here."

The old man was always dithering and not getting to the point. Li didn't want to talk to an old king for too long, so he took the initiative to advance the matter.

The king did not delay any longer. He adjusted the golden crown on his head, sat up straight and faced Li seriously.

"The Weize family has made many contributions to the kingdom. As a descendant of the Weize family, I hope you can serve the kingdom like your ancestors did!"

"Hahaha~ I thought I would hear something, Your Majesty, you took the trouble to bring me here just to tell me this!"

Li didn't expect the king to be so naive.

He had openly rebelled in the North, and yet the king thought he could reconquer himself.

"Who are you so naive about! Do you think you can overthrow the kingdom by organizing a few civilians? You don't understand how serious the consequences of doing so will be!"

The old king slapped the armrest and it shattered.

After the chair broke into pieces, the old king stood up with all his strength, supporting his body entirely with the strength of his legs.

Li's eyes were wide open. He said his legs hurt. If the king's legs didn't hurt, could he go to heaven?

The old king walked tremblingly to the locker in the room, took out a crystal ball, and placed it in Li's palm.

Li subconsciously gathered his magic power, and the crystal ball was directly activated. A bizarre image was projected from the crystal ball into Li's pupils.

The image recorded in the crystal ball was taken by a soldier standing on a watchtower.

At the beginning of the film, all Lee could see was a golden coastline and the turbulent sea in the distance.

The waves hit the shore, rolling up waves.

From time to time, clumps of brown-green seaweed and things like shells are washed ashore.

Everything seemed so peaceful until a scream was heard nearby.

"what!"

Li was shocked. He didn't expect that the video recorded by this crystal ball had sound.

The crystal ball's field of vision shifted slightly, and at the edge of the field of vision, there was a soldier with a bullet shot through the head.

The dead soldier should be the companion of the soldier in charge of recording the video.

After seeing the tragic death of his companion, the crystal ball once again focused on the coast.

The waves were still rolling, but this time it was not shells and seaweed that were carried ashore.

"Demons appear! They come up from the sea!"

A pile of olive-shaped objects with a pitch-black appearance washed ashore with the waves.

These things were very quiet at first, like coconuts swept by the waves.

However, after their numbers gathered to a certain extent, these olive-shaped creatures suddenly stretched out their heads and limbs and turned into a group of moving monsters!

Li noticed that on this side, a team of knights and mages had assembled. They launched a heroic charge and rushed towards the monsters that had come ashore.

What followed was a mess of combat skills and magic rays, and the battlefield soon became chaotic.

The footage was only that long, but Lee saw a lot in it.

On the coast of the kingdom, there were actually soldiers and demons fighting each other.

In addition, the demon's form also surprised Li.

Lee puts down the crystal ball and uses his sight to ask the king what the devil is.

The king did not explain, he just silently moved out a chessboard.

"You are an ambitious young man. You have drive, ideas, and even means. However, there are too many accidents in this world, and there are too many enemies of mankind. You should not create such chaos in the North and provoke confrontation with the Kingdom!"

The king criticized Li mercilessly, accusing him of doing things that would only bring pain to his loved ones and joy to his enemies.

Li had never had direct contact with the devil before, and he was in urgent need of information about the devil.

But the king's focus was clearly not on the devil.

"…Your Majesty, you are wrong about one thing. I did not stir up those conflicts and contradictions. They have always existed, but you and the rulers of the kingdom have deliberately ignored them!"

"You really won't turn back until you hit the wall!"

The king was very angry. What he hated most was heroes like Li who thought they were righteous.

"Since you firmly believe in your own ideas, let me use the actual situation to make you face the reality!"

The king pushed the chessboard towards Lee and began to place the chess pieces on it.

The king has been in control of the kingdom for a long time. Now Lee wants to become the king's opponent, so Lee should act as an attacker and challenge the king.

The king pointed to the neat arrangement of his own army, and then pointed to Li's side, where there was only two or three soldiers left.

"Now, the game begins! Young men of the Wiese family!"
