The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

An owl flew over the majestic walls of the cathedral and landed on the resting place of the saints.

The servants guarding outside the door saw the owl drop a letter and leave, and they all went forward to check with confusion.

A servant picked up the letter from the ground and found that it was stamped with the seal of the Bishop of West Germany.

When did the West German bishop get an owl?

The attendant was somewhat puzzled, but he did not doubt the authenticity of the letter.

This is a holy church, and no one has ever forged a letter from the bishop.

The servant opened the letter and found it was an order.

"The Bishop of West Germany asked us to take the Saint to pray for the Baron who died in vain before."

The servants looked at each other and then went about their own business.

Someone ran into the Saint's dormitory and told them that they had a mission and to be ready to go out.

Some people even went to find the Vatican knights and asked them to guard the saint who was away.

Everyone was familiar with these procedures from previous operations. When the saints had gathered and lined up to leave the gate, no one noticed that there was something wrong with the order this time.

The saints wore uniform purple robes, and when they traveled, flower girls would sprinkle flower petals in front of them.

When passers-by on the street saw the saints coming out in groups, they immediately extended friendly greetings to the team.

The temple has been very successful in creating a group of saints. The residents of the royal capital have accepted the prayer team composed of girls and very much hope that the saints can pass by their homes.

It is well known that the saint brings good luck, but unfortunately they all ignore the sobbing sounds that come from the saint's team from time to time.

Only the saints themselves knew that their lives in the temple were worse than those of animals.

"Lady Saint! I'm getting married soon, please bless me with a harmonious family!"

"Lady Saint, my wife has given birth to a child. Please give your blessings to the newborn!"

Passersby were asking for blessings from the saint. They were cheering and shouting, but they didn't realize that there was something wrong with what they were doing.

"Blessings are good wishes given to you by others. It is so greedy to ask for blessings on your own initiative~"

On a small building beside the street, Li Helian was watching the procession of saints below.

This time we prayed inside the city, not too far away.

The saints did not ride in carriages, and the number of knights guarding them was not large.

Fifty saints, escorted by a dozen knights, huddled together in fear like chickens chased by wild beasts.

Li looked at Lian and asked her to confirm the number of saints.

"Lian, are all the people you care about in the team? Are there any who have not been brought out?"

Ever since Lian could see the Saint's procession, she had been carefully identifying the number of people below.

Counting from the beginning to the end, there are exactly fifty saints. The girls who were chosen as saints together with Lian should all be here.

It was a pity that the girls lowered their heads in fear, making it difficult for Lian to see their faces clearly.

"There's nothing we can do if someone's not here. This is our only chance to carry out a large-scale rescue!"

Although the temple is already decayed, if it is really provoked, the power it unleashes is still strong.

Lian also knew that there was only one chance for rescue, but the rescue plan arranged by Li did not take Lian into account.

"Lee, are you sure those kids can handle this?"

"Lian, you should know where they come from, then you should know that they are professionals for this mission!"

Li's affirmation made Lian feel a little relieved, and Lian turned her gaze back to the street.

The saint's team walked very slowly, and only after Lian and Li finished their conversation did the team reach the center of the street.

Just at this moment, a carriage drove over from the fork in the road, pulling a bunch of cages filled with pigeons and rabbits.

This is a horse-drawn carriage that delivers goods to restaurants in the city. The meat eaten by the nobles in the city is basically supplied in this way.

The horse-drawn carriage carrying poultry jolted as it passed an intersection, and a cage became loose due to the impact.

When the poultry in the cage saw the cage open, they immediately ran towards freedom.

"Hey! The bird ran away! Catch it!"

The coachman stopped the carriage and ran to the back to catch the bird. The carriage, with no one controlling it, moved slowly forward.

By the time the driver realized what was happening, the carriage was not locked and had already crashed into a nearby house, with the cargo falling to the ground.

Various poultry flapped their wings and flew everywhere. Passersby who were originally watching the Holy Maiden Group's trip were instantly attracted by the embarrassing incident of catching birds.

People laughed, some went over to help, and some quickly got away to avoid having their clothes soiled by the poultry.

The chaos caused by poultry not far away naturally attracted the attention of the Holy Maidens.

The knight guarding the saint was keenly aware that the situation was not good.

It is very common for horse-drawn carriages carrying goods to get into traffic accidents in the royal capital.

But the carriages were causing chaos on the path where the Holy Maidens were marching, which was obviously a problem!

"Keep an eye on your surroundings and don't let any suspicious people get close!"

The knight captain shouted loudly and the soldiers immediately became alert.

The soldiers who were paying close attention to the surroundings soon discovered the problem. At the corner of the street, there was actually a saint running away!

"Damn it! It must be the chaos just now that gave these stupid women the opportunity to escape!"

Not many saints dared to seize the opportunity to escape. Most of them still gathered in the middle and trembled like lambs.

The knight captain immediately sent out several men to capture the escaped saints.

The knight captain was very nervous. If the saint really escaped today, he would definitely lose his job.

The knight captain, feeling uneasy, silently waited for news of the pursuit.

It didn't take long before the soldiers who went in pursuit returned, each carrying the saint.

They cursed as they walked.

"These damn things run really fast!"

The knight captain glared at the complaining soldier, stopping him from saying more insulting words to the saint.

Now that we are outside, we still have to be careful to maintain the basic appearance of the temple.

"Captain, those people are still catching birds, let's take a detour."

The captain nodded. He didn't want to pass through the chaotic area ahead.

The captain ordered all soldiers to be on high alert.

They took the saint around two streets and gradually approached today's destination.

"Huh~ It seems there are no new problems. Next time we bring these saints out, we must bring more people!"

The Holy Maidens encountered no more problems until they arrived at the ruins of the Baron's house after the fire.

The escorting knight breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the saints who were gathered quietly together and wanted to pick out those who had escaped before and make an example of them.

However, after looking at the saints who were lowering their heads, the knight captain was a little dazed.

Why did he feel that there seemed to be some extra people in the group of saints he led?
