The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 375: History Unrecorded

Ever since she accepted the king's invitation to serve as a political official, Lilith has been a little afraid to meet Li.

After all, on a big level, Lee and the King are rivals.

However, Li Du has personally cooperated with the king, so why would he care about Lilith's current job?

"Lilith, how have you been lately~"

"Brother Li, I thought you would blame me for abandoning you and running off to do something else."

Li looked at Lilith seriously and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Lilith, I'm so happy that you can do what you like. If you just stick to me like before, it will bury your charm."

Li has an open mind like Earth, and Lilith's previous clinging to him really made Li happy.

But Lilith's lifestyle, which revolves around men, makes her like a puppet.

On the contrary, it was Lilith who further demonstrated her charm. She did not stick to Li anymore, but gave Li a feeling that they were standing side by side.

If Lilith can really grow up, Li will be able to relieve a lot of pressure.

"But Brother Li, the future of the kingdom will definitely be at odds with the North, and then we will become enemies."

This is what Lilith is most worried about.

If she worked for the king here for a long time, she would inevitably bear the mark of the kingdom.

Once the North rises, Lilith may not be able to go back.

Li held Lilith's head and ruffled her beautiful long hair.

"That will take several years. Let's focus on the present first and we can figure out the rest later~"

Li, who has a mixture of multiple life experiences, knows one thing very well: plans cannot keep up with changes.

The future development is uncertain. If you worry about it now, your life will become boring.

Li and Lilith were chatting about life when they saw a magician from the Secret Order flashing in front of them.

When the wizard saw Li and Lilith showing off their love in public, he almost forgot his mission.

"…Our leader has made an incredible discovery. Please go and take a look."

Being interrupted, Li and Lilith stopped chatting.

Li looked at the masked man in front of him seriously and asked a question that made the other party extremely uncomfortable.

"Your movements are very interesting. Can you teach me?"

“…Sorry, this is a magic inherited from our family and it is not to be passed on to anyone else!”

"I can trade you necromancy."

"Mr. Li, please respect yourself!"

After teasing Lei's men a little, Li and Lilith walked underground with serious faces.

They had already learned from the soldiers' reports about the vastness of the underground space and the fact that the vampires that had been hiding there had fled one after another.

The two met up with Lei and saw Lei seriously interrogating the vampire. Unfortunately, the captured vampire was just a small fry and had no information about this place at all.

When Lei saw Li and Lilith coming down, he waved his hand and asked someone to take the vampire away.

"Huh~ Li, now I am more and more certain that the guess you told me before is true!"

Lei opened his arms and spun in the underground ruins.

At this moment, Lei is embracing history and is getting closer to the truth of faith.

After realizing that this underground relic was unusual, Li Ye began to check out the patterns and reliefs on the walls.

Li didn't know much about the history of this world, but he could tell from the instructions of others that the traces in the ruins were unusual.

"Symbols and decorations left by multiple races? I've never heard of a period in history when multiple races united?"

In this world, conflicts and frictions between one or two races are very common, and so are alliances.

But there is no record in history of any era in which there was excessive racial integration.

A ruin as large as the one in front of Li would definitely take a long time to build.

It would take several years, dozens of years, or even hundreds of years to leave behind relics of such a large scale.

“Indeed, there are no clues about these ruins in the recorded history, but the ruins have indeed been found all over the world!”

Lei walked up to Li and excitedly told him what he knew.

"In the southern continent and the northern continent, I heard that the lands of the elves and the mountains where the dwarves live have all discovered ancient ruins with similar structures!"

Lei knew about the ancient ruins before, but he had never connected the ruins with faith.

It was after Li revealed the truth about faith, which might be a monopoly of magic, that Lei suddenly realized that there might be many hidden truths in history!

"According to the research of the mages, these ancient ruins can be traced back to before the birth of mankind. The mages call the builders of these ruins the ancients!"

Ancient people!

It was the first time that Li heard this name from ancient people, but he was not surprised.

“Come to think of it, I seem to have heard that there are ancient ruins like this on the frozen tundra.”

"Yes! There are only a few highlanders living on the frozen tundra now. It is impossible for them to create ancient ruins. These ruins must belong to some unrecorded era!"

Lei was very excited. He felt that by studying these relics, he could understand the relationship between ancient people and faith.

Lei believes that ancient people must have faced problems with faith, and it was even because of their faith that they disappeared from the earth!

Seeing Lei's excited face, Li shrugged helplessly.

"Lei, I know you're excited, but can you please stop getting excited? Where are the vampires? How many have you captured?"

"Li, you're such a bummer! All the captured vampires are over there. We only caught a dozen of the unlucky ones who ran slowly."

Lei pointed at the vampires he had just interrogated. They were escorted out one by one by the magicians of the Secret Order, and they looked uneasy as they walked out.

"Where is the vampire patriarch? He was cursed by me."

It is impossible for ordinary people to get rid of the curse cast by Li himself, not to mention that Li can still sense the breath of the curse.

“Chief? He ran the fastest. We didn’t even find any trace of him.”

Li shook his head and stopped wasting time with Lei.

Li took Lilith and several soldiers and strode into the depths of the ruins.

According to Li's perception, the cursed vampire patriarch was right below the ruins.

As long as we catch the clan leader, many questions can be answered from him.

As we go deeper underground, the ruins become more and more damaged.

Li could clearly see that the structure below was no longer regular. The long period of time and geological activities had already destroyed the building structure deep inside.

A ball of fire ignited in Li's hand, illuminating the narrow, dark passage.

This passage was newly excavated, the ground and walls were uneven, and discarded excavation tools could be seen after walking a few steps.

“It smells like blood!”

This time, Li could smell the strong smell of blood without Lilith's guidance.

After taking two hurried steps inside, Li found that he had reached the end of the passage.

A blurry mass of flesh and blood was piled there quietly. The flesh and blood had no life in it. It was completely a dead object.

"Brother Li, this is all your blood!"

The vampire leader actually gave up most of his flesh and blood in order to get rid of the curse planted by Li.

Li was very surprised, because even if he was a vampire, giving up so much flesh and blood would cause irreversible damage to himself.

Lilith went forward to check and quickly came to a conclusion.

"The original vampire has a secret method that allows them to take over the bodies of their loved ones to ensure their own survival..."

Every time such a replacement is made, a close relative has to be sacrificed. That vampire leader is really inhumane!

"Leader! We've found something here!"

The soldiers behind him shouted loudly at the fork in the passage, and Li and his group quickly turned around to check the situation.

I saw a blocked passage filled with broken bones.

Judging from these bones, they were originally young children.

After discovering this, no one made a sound, but everyone clenched their fists.

Li wrote down the original vampires in his notebook. These inhumane guys must pay for their evil deeds!
