The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Several hooded assassins used their catapulting hidden blades to easily eliminate the escorting knights.

Emma and the assassins stood there posing coolly.

Their powerful backs left a deep impression on the girls.

"Who are you? Are you here to rescue us?"

There are no knights coming to force the saints now, but the saints who have suffered torture for a long time are still acting cautiously.

This is a very critical moment, and the saints hope that assassins like Emma are here to save them.

But they are also afraid that they have just escaped from the wolf's den and are now in the tiger's mouth.

Fortunately, Emma quickly reassured them.

"We walk in darkness, but our hearts are toward light. We are assassins of the Shadow Veil. We specialize in punishing criminals. Poor saints, at this moment, you have gained the freedom you wanted!"

become free!

What a lovely word freedom is.

However, the saints who had gained their freedom could not smile at all at this moment.

"There is no freedom here. We are still in the capital. The Holy Temple will definitely find out about our situation soon. We can't escape at all!"

Emma and her fellow assassins were too young. Although they killed the escorting knights, they were unable to defeat the powerful Templar.

The girl with good intentions came to Emma.

"I don't know who you are, where you are from, or why you want to help us. We are very grateful for your help, but the Holy Temple will come to catch us soon. You should run away first. You must have a way to hide yourself."

It is easy for the assassins to protect themselves, but not many of the saints can escape.

The saints discussed with each other and decided to move in different directions, so that someone would be able to escape from the blockade of the temple.

"Ahem~ Sorry to bother you. We brought you here, so we must have a way to get you all out safely. Aren't you overthinking this? Can you have a little more faith in us?"

The saints looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly.

Emma didn't waste any time and asked her companions to disperse and search around in the ruins.

"found it!"

One of the assassins found the mark left in the intelligence, and everyone immediately gathered together and stared at the metal plate on the ground.

This piece of metal plate was originally part of the Baron's residence. Judging from the location of the ruins, it should be a facility such as a kitchen or storage room.

“This iron plate is…”

Emma took out a metal badge and found the corresponding groove on the metal plate.

The key matched the keyhole, and Emma successfully opened the metal mechanism.

The saints who came over stretched their necks like a group of ducks, chattering and discussing the open passage.

“This looks like an underground passage!”

“We seem to have something similar at home!”

"So, even if the Baron and his family were trapped in the house, they couldn't be burned to death!"

The saints exchanged their ideas with each other as if they had discovered a huge secret.

Their hopes of escape also increased dramatically due to the emergence of the underground passage.

The Holy Temple certainly could not imagine that the saints would rely on underground passages to leave the royal capital!

Under the command of Emma and others, the saints entered the underground passage one after another.

This underground passage is very well constructed. There are many magic lamp holders in the passage. As long as magic power is input, it can emit soft light.

The girls looked at the underground passage reinforced with bricks and stones with curiosity in their eyes.

"Ms. Assassin, who built this passage?"

"Don't call me Miss Assassin, you should call me Master Assassin!"

Emma made a minor correction to the name, and then described the origin of this passage according to the information she had memorized.

"This underground passage was naturally built bit by bit by the nobles living here."

The history of digging underground tunnels in the royal capital can be traced back to when humans still lived in the southern continent.

The nobles hold the most important power in the human kingdom, so they naturally value their lives very much.

"As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. In order to deal with various risks, nobles usually prepare many evacuation routes. An underground passage leading directly to the outside of the city is an indispensable setting for great nobles."

What Emma said was said by the Baron who escaped from here before.

The Baron and his family were fed up with the intrigues and deceit in the capital and the brutal oppression of the temple, so they finally chose to set fire to the capital and flee.

When the noble ladies heard that the Baron was not dead, they had complicated feelings.

"The Baron's family dared to set fire and flee the capital, but our family abandoned us in exchange for the support of the Holy Church..."

Although they are all nobles, the choices they make are different.

The girls did nothing wrong, yet became victims in the transaction.

"Where can we go after we leave here..."

Having a home but not being able to return is the most painful thing in the world.

The girls lowered their heads one by one. With every step they took towards freedom, the future became more confusing.

Emma noticed that the girls were not in good condition and quickly quickened her pace.

A passage for nobles to escape from the capital, which was basically repaired after the nobles settled in the capital.

In order to reduce the pressure on the project, many nobles who knew each other would connect the passages together.

Emma led the team, and every time they came to a fork in the road, they had to carefully distinguish the marks on the wall to make sure they were not going the wrong way.

"Miss Master Assassin, so many nobles know about this passage. Is it safe for us to take this route?"

"You're worrying too much. We went underground just to avoid being blocked on the road. Time is on our side now~"

Even if the Holy Temple knew that the saints left from underground, they would need time to send people to stop them.

Emma believed that given the slow communication speed of the temple, the escape of the saints might not have been known to anyone yet.

"Ahem~Are you guys considering what to do after you stop being a saint?"

The atmosphere was a bit dull, so Emma took the initiative to talk to the girls.

"Yes, we have lost our family's support and we are all girls. There is not much we can do. After we leave here, how we live will become a problem."

What the ladies learn on a daily basis are things like lady etiquette.

Let them organize parties, dance, arrange flowers, identify high-end dresses, etc., they are very good at it.

But living outside requires survival skills.

During these days of being imprisoned in the temple in disguise, the girls have suffered a lot in life.

Emma felt very sympathetic towards these noble ladies. They seemed to be glamorous on the surface, but they were nothing after leaving their families.

From birth to growth, their only value is to turn themselves into attractive dolls.

Emma turned around and decided to provide these confused noble ladies with a special opportunity.

"Well, our Shadow Veil Assassin Team is still recruiting members. As long as you join us, you can punish evil and promote good, and uphold justice like us!"

Emma's exaggerated description failed to attract everyone. They looked at each other and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Emma scratched her head, realizing that empty promises wouldn't work, so she immediately changed her mind and decided to be practical.

"Hey~ If you join the Assassin Group, you can enjoy three free meals. We will provide the most basic four-person dormitory, and there will be professional assassin masters to guide the training. Action is worse than thought. If you are interested, come and sign up~"
