The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After treating Lian's injuries, Li wiped his chin to prevent the saliva from dripping onto Lian's body.

"Well, the wound has been treated, the next thing is the poison."

Li became extremely excited when he thought that there was still poison to be solved.

The magic book was also swinging back and forth around Li's waist, urging him to act quickly.

"Toxins that cause people to fall into a coma usually attack the brain and nerves..."

Li took out a bottle of liquid similar to cooling oil, dripped it on his fingertips, and then pressed it on Lian's temple.

With the help of the magic potion, flesh and blood grew on Li's fingertips and grew together with Lian's temple.

This kind of body-connected necromancy has long been banned in the world, but Li himself is a rat living in the dark and doesn't care about the ban.

"Eh?"

After connecting with Lian's body, Li Gang tried to analyze the composition of the toxin when he was attacked by an inexplicable force.

Fortunately, this force was not strong. Just as it was about to contaminate Li's body, it was blocked by Li's own defense.

"what happened?"

Seeing Li making a surprised sound, Magic Book hurriedly asked.

He didn't want his young partner to make any mistakes because of such a small task.

“I don’t think this is poison.”

The impact of toxins on the human body will show a state of passive diffusion.

But the force that attacked Li's body just now was obviously proactive.

"If it's not poison, then it's a curse?"

The magic book was also surprising, because curses were something that only orc shamans and demons could use, apart from necromancy.

Apart from Li in front of him, only Li's mother and a few hidden necromancers know how to use necromancy.

Were necromancers involved in this ambush, or are some enemies of the kingdom and the dark side plotting something behind the scenes?

In short, this is not an upright thing to do.

Li held the magic book in his hand and began to look for a way to resolve the curse.

The magic book automatically turned the pages, showing Li the magic technique for removing the curse.

"Hmm... every time I use divine magic it's so weird."

The use of divine arts will not have any effect on Li. The key point is that he is an undead wizard, and it is inappropriate for him to cast divine arts.

"Goddess of Holy Light, your loyal servant prays to you. Please grant me the power to dispel the curse before me!"

After a spell, the magic book and Li's fingers flashed together.

Li used his finger that was emitting golden light to touch Lian's brow. Wisps of black smoke came out of her body and turned into ashes under the holy light.

Lian stirred and her eyelids twitched slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Li was quick-witted and lifted Lian's head, pulled out the stopper on the test tube, and poured a tube of hypnotic drug into Lian's mouth.

Li pinched Lian's neck and urged her to swallow the medicine.

Seeing Lian quickly fall asleep, Li Deyi put away the air traffic control.

"Hehe~ After taking this potion, even a saber-toothed elephant will have to sleep for three days and three nights. My little beauty, you should let me do whatever I want from now on~"

Li moved his restless hands and was about to do something to Lian.

But I heard an angry scolding behind me.

"Bad guy! Let my sister go!"

Lee was startled and turned to face the source of the sound.

Then Lian's younger brother, Carton, opened the carriage door and ran over.

As for Lian, who was released by Li, her head fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

It all sounds painful.

After Carton ran down from the carriage, he immediately went to his sister.

Cotton was a 1.80-meter tall man, with the wound on his chest still bleeding, but he still stood firmly in front of his sister.

Cotton looks like an adult, but his actions and way of speaking are still like a child.

“…Brother, is it okay for you to bleed like this?”

Lee pointed at Carton's chest.

When Carton lowered his head, he realized that he was injured, and it seemed that his heart was injured.

But he didn't feel any pain, so maybe it's okay.

"Don't interrupt me! I saw you drooling over me just now! I won't leave my sister to a church scum like you!"

Perhaps because he had seen people in the church suppress his own family, Carton was very resistant to Li's outfit.

In addition, Li had just touched her sister, so she bared her teeth and threatened Li not to come near her.

Li knew that Cotton was mentally retarded and didn't bother with him.

But the abnormality shown by Carton still made Li suspicious.

Li patted the magic book and discussed with the other party in a low voice.

"A mentally retarded person can't block out pain. He was injured so badly that all the blood was drained from his body. Why wouldn't he care?"

"…Maybe the curse paralyzed his nerves."

Cotton must have eaten the cursed food, but then the problem arises again.

"The curse can paralyze his nerves, so shouldn't he be in a coma?"

Lian only took a small bite of the snack before she was knocked down by the curse.

The same was true for the surrounding knights.

Why is Caton still awake?

Things that are difficult to understand are most likely to arouse people's curiosity.

Li licked his upper teeth and jumped in front of Cotton.

Before Carton could react, Li's fingers grew together with the skin on Carton's forehead, just like before.

But the next moment, a strong feeling of disgust came over him and almost made Li lose consciousness.

"not good!"

At the critical moment, the magic book emitted a sacred wave that burned directly onto Li's face.

The holy light was so strong that it penetrated the bones, barely preventing the curse from eroding Li's brain.

"What happened?"

Li, whose eyes were dazzled by the holy light, was completely dazed.

Only the magic book stared at Carton vigilantly.

"The curse on this kid has already reached a lethal level!"

The curse, powerful enough to kill, had been on Carton's body the entire time, and it pounced directly upon Li the moment he made contact.

Lee was startled and looked at Carton as if he were looking at a rare animal.

"He has been cursed so many times, yet he is still alive and kicking. This is unscientific!"

“Yeah, that’s not scientific.”

The reason why Carton remained conscious despite being cursed was found out. This was because Carton himself was cursed and his body had long developed resistance to it.

Moreover, the reason for Cotton's dementia was also found. He was not suffering from any disease, but was cursed by someone!

"You mean, he has been cursed since he was a child!"

The magic book revolved around Carton and then confirmed Li's speculation.

"This shouldn't be the case. How could the Archduke sit idly by and watch his heir continue to be in danger? Besides, the Church should have a way to dispel the curse..."

Having said that, Li and the magic book came to a conclusion.

The curse on Cotton might have been planted by the Vatican.

In this way, Lian's behavior of taking her brother to various places for medical treatment seemed quite ridiculous.

"It turns out that even if you are born into a grand duke's family, you can't escape a miserable fate."

Li looked at Carton and Lian again, his expression already filled with pity.

I don't really care about the magic book. I've lived long enough and have seen all kinds of things involving cats and dogs.

"Okay, let's finish the task first. Don't you want to take that big sword?"

Li finally reacted after being reminded by the magic book.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it!"

Li suddenly made a move and sprinkled a handful of sleepy butterfly scale powder directly onto Carton's face.
