The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 385 Teleportation Artifact

Waking up from the weakness of overdrawn magic power once again, Li felt that his body was hollowed out and uncomfortable all over.

The damn magic power became the upper limit of Li's ability, which made Li very dissatisfied.

If he encounters a problem again in the future and something goes wrong because of the depletion of magic power, Li will feel very upset just thinking about that situation.

"We must find a way to quickly replenish magic power, or find a way to fight without relying on magic power!"

Li muttered silently and continued to move forward into the deeper passage.

Li now has a feeling that he is getting closer and closer to the secrets in the ruins.

"Li, you've just recovered. You don't have to work so hard."

Seeing that Li was about to challenge those speechless traps again, Lei came over and persuaded Li to take a break.

Originally, the person who was most interested in the ruins was Lei, but now Li is even more desperate than Lei.

Seeing that Li was struggling with the trap, Lei couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Lei, I think this relic may give me very important answers."

Li headed toward the newly dug passage.

Spike Trap.

Stake trap.

Waterhole trap.

Kerosene trap.

Rockfall trap.

The traps in this passage actually perfectly matched the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and Li felt more and more uneasy.

Because he had anticipated the rhythm of the trap, Li did not run out of magic power this time.

Li came to the end of the passage and pushed open a tightly closed stone door.

Behind the stone gate is a circular room with a strong sense of ceremony.

The style of this room is similar to the room with stone slabs that Li discovered before. The surroundings are bare, with only an important item placed in the center.

Li slowly moved towards the center. In front of him was a stone platform engraved with holy light symbols, on which was placed a dazzling treasure box.

This arrangement was very similar to the reward for completing a maze, and made Li think that he had traveled into a game world.

Li knew that all of this was deliberately arranged by the people who built this place. God knows what those ancient people had experienced.

Li was afraid that there might be some hidden trap in the center of the room, but after careful testing, Li's worries were all unnecessary.

This really is a bonus room, nothing dangerous exists at all.

"Li! What's the situation inside? Can we go in?"

Lei called out loudly outside, wanting to confirm the situation inside.

The mages of the secret order are ready to provide support. As long as Li confirms that it is safe inside, they will take over and conduct a more detailed investigation.

"Wait first!"

Li approached the treasure chest in the middle, intending to let Lei bring people to support him after confirming that there was no danger inside.

Li mobilized all the magic power in his body, ready to deal with the risk of death at any time.

The next moment, Li pushed open the lid of the treasure chest.

The dangerous attack did not come, and what appeared in Li's eyes was a gentle light.

Li looked into the treasure chest and his pupils suddenly widened.

"This is it! That staff!"

A short staff emitting a faint magical glow in the box.

This staff is undoubtedly a divine weapon, and it is not surprising to find a divine weapon inside the ruins.

What surprised Li was that he had seen this staff before!

The memories stored in Li's mind immediately burst out after seeing this short staff.

A figure who sweetly called himself Brother Li, held this short magic staff and smiled sweetly at himself.

The image of Lilith instantly appeared before Li's eyes.

"Lilith? No, you are Lilith from the dream world!"

The one who appeared before Li was Lilith from the dream world. Compared with the real Lilith, this Lilith was more gentle and willing to give everything for Li.

The look in Lilith's eyes when she looked at Li was filled with inseparable affection, which made the Lilith in front of her seem less real.

This false feeling made Li realize that his mind was disturbed, and he reluctantly turned his attention away from Lilith.

Li looked to the side and found that he had come to an illusory space without knowing when.

There is no solid ground in this space, nor are there walls and ceilings made of stone. There is only mist that emits a faint glow.

Li's eyes can only see objects within a few meters in front of him, and Lilith is the only target in front of Li.

The fake Lilith smiled at Li, and she waved the short staff in her hand, creating a portal in the void.

Lilith stepped into it and just disappeared.

After a while, Li returned to reality from the fantasy.

At some point, the short staff was already in Li's hand.

Li still remembers that Lilith in the dream world often took it to run away, and also used the teleportation ability of the artifact staff to deliver takeout to Caiyun Catering.

"Li! You finally woke up!"

The sound coming from the side completely woke Li up.

Li turned his head and found Lei looking at him excitedly.

"Lei? You came in, what happened to me just now?"

"Just now?"

Lei walked around Li and marveled at him.

"Li, don't you realize how much time has passed?"

Seeing Lei's subtle expression, Li immediately realized that something was wrong.

Li looked down at his feet and found that his shoes were covered with dust. There was also a lot of dust on his body and clothes. It looked like he had not moved for a long time.

Only then did Li realize that only a moment had passed in the hallucination, but a long time had passed outside.

“…What time is it now!”

"Nine days have passed since you stood here. You haven't moved at all, just like a stone statue."

When Lei discovered that Li was not in good condition, he tried to carry Li and move him to a safe place.

However, Li's body was very heavy after his soul left his body, and Lei was unable to carry him even after using all his strength.

With no other options, Lei could only leave Li where he was and come to check on him every day.

Lei thought that Li had suffered an attack of unknown cause and might never wake up in this life.

Unexpectedly, Li stood there for nine days and suddenly woke up from an inexplicable state.

"Don't you have any recollection of these past few days? What did you go through?"

Hearing Lei's question, Li subconsciously looked at the staff in his hand.

This staff is exactly the same as the one Li saw in the dream world, and the words "Hollow Voice" are engraved on the staff.

Li waved the staff as he remembered, and the magic power in his body was quickly drawn by the staff.

Li, who had just awakened from silence, felt the painful feeling of his magic power being drained away.

I don’t know if it was because Li’s magic power was not enough or there was a problem with the staff itself, but Li’s use of the staff failed to open the space gate.

The transmission failed.

"Li! You should rest for a while. You haven't eaten or drunk anything for nine days. You need to recuperate now."

Li felt that what Lei said was right. Endless fatigue surged into his heart and Li just wanted to sleep.

"By the way, you said I'll be standing here for nine days. Where is the Pope's coronation ceremony? Has it started yet?"

Lei took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Li's mouth.

"There are still three hours until the Pope's coronation ceremony."
