The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The temple is an extremely sacred organization, and the saint is the temple's external spokesperson.

The church has always selected saints from among the nuns with the most devout faith.

They will go through many tests, recite the entire contents of the holy book, and finally be beautiful.

Lian thought she had the advantage of being beautiful, but she was not a nun. Why would the church send her an invitation to the selection of the saint?

Lian was confused, but the housekeeper Amber, who was standing beside her, saw from the invitation letter that the church was taking an unusual action.

"Miss, this matter must be discussed with the master!"

Amber suggested that Lian delay the matter for the time being and find various excuses not to go to the temple.

However, the temple seemed to have calculated this and directly sent the saint to Freyr's house to pick someone up.

The saint was wearing a purple robe, and her face emanated a faint sacred glow.

Lian just glanced at the saint, and her heart was soothed by the holy light and became extremely calm.

Lian did not dare to look directly at the saint's face for a long time. She lowered her head and saluted the saint, while recalling the beauty of the saint she had just glimpsed.

Lian was surprised to find that the saint's face was both specific and hazy, like the statue of the goddess in the temple, which made people feel awe, but it was impossible to copy her specific appearance.

Vague things are always hard to understand. The saint in front of us embodies the essence of the temple very well.

"Ms. Freyr Lian, please come with me to the Holy Temple to participate in the selection of the Saintess~"

The saint's voice was very pleasant, forming a sacred echo in Lian's ears.

The saint spoke as if she were singing a hymn, but Lian felt that she could not do that.

"Lady Saint, as far as I know, children from noble families have never participated in the selection of Saints. Moreover, Lady Saint is still young. Why would the Holy Temple suddenly select a new Saint?"

Lian asked the doubts in her heart. The saint was right in front of her, and she was fine without any problems.

How could the temple think of selecting a new saint? What should be done with the current saint?

The saint did not feel offended by Lian's question, and she gently answered Lian's doubts.

"Miss Lian, the Holy Temple only used the Saint as a signboard for external charity, but never said that there can only be one Saint."

In other words, the current saint is still a saint, and the temple just wants to add a saint to expand the influence of the temple.

"Not one person~"

The saint grabbed Lian's hand and pulled her out of the gate.

Lian was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen people who received the invitation letter just like her.

"That's not all. A total of fifty candidates for the Saint will be selected. Please follow me to meet the other candidates!"

With the Saint already there and so many Saint candidates waiting outside, Lian couldn't make any excuses anymore.

Lian reluctantly followed the saint's footsteps, and the group walked away on the street together.

When housekeeper Amber saw the eldest lady being taken away like this, she felt more and more uneasy.

Amber quickly wrote a letter to the master in charge of the southern port, explaining what the temple had done to the eldest lady.

The letter was mailed out as quickly as possible, but unfortunately distant water could not quench immediate thirst. Lian would have to figure out ways to deal with many things that would happen next personally.

"Did you all receive invitations?"

Lian was secretly communicating with the noble ladies from other families. When the noble ladies received the invitation letters, they were also confused.

"Yes, who would have thought that the church would be willing to let us become saints? In the past, when we went to the church to worship, no one would receive us if we didn't make a donation."

Most of the noble ladies in the royal capital are from wealthy families, and they are usually unwilling to associate with Lian, a warrior.

But today is different. Everyone can feel that there is a vague malice directed against them.

Now that the person in charge of the family is not around, the girls can only rely on themselves. They all try to get close to Lian so that they can ask for help in time just in case.

"It's strange to say, the Holy Temple has always been competing with us nobles for power and wealth. This time they let us be the saint, and I always feel that there is something wrong!"

The girls were right in their feeling. This time's selection of the Saint was intentional by the Holy Temple.

Lian and her group were brought to the temple by the current saint, and they were gathered in a temple-like building.

The saint held the original scripture in her hand and called upon holy light to fill the entire room.

A sacred feeling came over them, and the restlessness in the girls' hearts was soothed by the holy light.

At this moment, the Saint Lady spoke.

"You have all passed the baptism of the Holy Light. Now, like me, you also shoulder the faith of the Goddess and the Holy Light. I believe that with our joint efforts, the Holy Light will surely shine on every inch of land!"

Is this the saint?

Lian and the girls beside her looked at the saint in confusion.

A group of nuns walked in from outside, holding trays with expensive purple robes.

It is really unexpected that the saint actually gives everyone the same treatment.

"Lady Saint! We are not familiar with the holy scriptures, nor do we know the process of almsgiving. Are you going to let us become saints without any examination?"

During the process of coming here, everyone guessed many ways of selecting the Saint.

I never expected that the result would be that all employees were hired.

Why does the temple need so many saints? Eating one a day would be enough for two months!

"The holy light just now was a test for you. You all have passed the test of the goddess. Relax a little. You can learn the daily procedures that you are worried about later~"

The saint's smile was as kind as ever.

But the girls just thought that the person standing in front of them was a fox who stole the chicken.

Lian became nervous at the first moment. This kind of confrontation without swords and sabers was something she was really not good at.

"If only Lee were here..."

Lian subconsciously thought of a boy of the same age as herself, but unfortunately Li was not with Lian and could not give her any advice.

Lian and fifty other noble ladies became the spokespersons of the temple.

Soon, they received the first mission assigned by the temple.

"All saints, assemble! This afternoon, we are going to the cemetery outside the capital to pray for the dead and give them peace and redemption!"

Comforting the dead is the job of the clergy. The temple requires the newly joined saints to preside over the memorial ceremony, and there is nothing wrong with this.

However, Lian and others who had just become saints did not know how to perform the soothing and exorcism rituals.

The girls pulled the nuns next to them and complained to them that they could not complete the task.

However, the nuns who served the saints did not respond to the girls' cries.

These attendant nuns provided by the temple were both deaf and dumb, and completely ignored the objections of Lian and others.

"You are not attendant nuns at all. You are soldiers guarding us!"

After Lian yelled this, she still received no response.

To be exact, the nuns sent by the temple responded to Lian. Several of them surrounded Lian and forcefully pushed her onto the carriage.

The carriage carrying fifty saints drove slowly towards the cemetery in the suburbs amid the cheers of ignorant passers-by.
