The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The first half of the Saint's rescue operation went very smoothly.

But what will happen next? Lian’s heart is always hanging in the air.

Lian and Li stood on a high place and saw only the little assassins led by Emma who successfully infiltrated the Saint's team.

Afterwards, Lian was taken away by Li, and the two of them were going to the outside of the royal capital to pick up these poor girls who had escaped from the tiger's mouth.

“Will this really not be a problem?”

"Lian, you've already come this far. There's no doubt about the outcome. Where has your vigor and determination as a soldier gone?"

"Hey~ Do you always have to talk to me in this tone? Can't you be gentler when dealing with girls?"

"Gentle? An unrivaled female warrior holding a black rose, gentle?"

Li's contemptuous smile made Lian blush. Lian clenched her fists, wanting to punch them hard into Li's face.

"Okay, I'm sorry, it's my way of speaking that's wrong. I have to be gentle when dealing with a gentle lady like you."

Seeing that Li had calmed down, Lian also put down her fist.

However, Li then began to provoke Lian's nerves again.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing that has always puzzled me."

"what's up?"

"That's it. Why did you wear the earrings I gave you when you were working for the king and wearing the robes of the Secret Order?"

In the previous environment, Li and Lian were in a hostile state, and Lian should have refused to have any contact with Li.

"…It's just an earring. Besides, it was given to me by my younger brother!"

Lian turned her face away, her blushing face said it all.

When Li saw Lian’s shy look, his intention to play a teasing on her was finally satisfied.

While the two were talking, the carriage had already left the royal capital.

Li took Lian and jumped off the carriage and walked half a circle around the city wall.

At the bend of the city wall, a hole covered by dead grass and debris revealed its true appearance.

Lian looked into the cave curiously. It was pitch black and there was no end in sight. Only cold wind carrying foul air was blowing out from the cave entrance.

With no good topics to discuss, Li and Lian could only stand side by side stupidly.

Time passed bit by bit, and Li suddenly felt something crawling up his arm.

Li tilted his head slightly and found that it was Lian beside him who was holding his arm.

"Thank you, Lee. Thank you for everything you have done."

There were faint tears in Lian's eyes. Recalling what happened when she returned to the royal capital, Lian found that the worldview she had firmly believed in before had long collapsed and shattered.

If it weren't for Li, who lent a helping hand at the critical moment, Lian couldn't imagine what would have become of her.

"Lian, we are friends. Remember, when we were little, I promised to be your knight."

Although this is not Li's true words, at this time, he has to say what women like to hear.

Lian recalled their experiences as children, and a string in her heart was touched.

The innocence of childhood has long disappeared as she grows up. Lian put her arms around Li's neck and gave him a kiss with a different meaning.

Li didn't expect that Lian would actually kiss him, and a strange feeling passed between the two of them.

"Lian, why are you so emotional all of a sudden?"

After their lips parted, Li patted Lian's back to calm her excitement.

Lian was about to explain that she was just emotional, then she noticed that many little heads were sticking out of the hole next to her.

The rescued saints had arrived at the exit of the passage without knowing when.

They walked without making any sound!

Lian blinked her eyes and realized that the hug between her and Li was seen by them all.

Lian, who was socially dead, wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"Master, this woman is so shameless. You helped her, but she actually took advantage of you!"

In Emma's mind, Li is the hero who saves the world.

Such a great young master, whom I have never kissed, and neither has Sister Xiaoli, but this guy Lian has already started to kiss him!

This is too much!

"Emma, ​​don't make trouble. Did you bring everyone here?"

After seeing Li Helian, the saints brought by Emma realized the crux of the problem.

The one who planned everything behind the scenes and finally saved everyone was such a young boy!

"He was just chewing with Lian~"

"If I had known that Emma's owner was such a handsome guy, I should have run faster!"

The girls all became annoyed. Regardless of whether Li was handsome or not, the fact that Li dared to go against the Holy Hall showed that this guy was definitely capable.

At any time, a man who is capable, wise, and has subordinates is definitely a good candidate to spend the rest of your life with.

Li was stared at by a group of women with ferocious eyes, fearing that they would suddenly abandon their reason and divide him up.

Li grabbed Lian's hand, and the two of them moved away from the crowd to discuss future matters alone.

"Lian, now you are charged with betraying the kingdom and the temple, have you ever thought about what to do?"

Lian looked at Li expectantly. She didn't want to think now and just waited for Li's arrangements.

Li suddenly realized that Lian actually had a love brain!

"Ahem~Lian, I think you should go to the North to join your brother, and take those girls with you."

"Take them with you? Do you want me to support them?"

Li blinked and saw Lian's true nature again. She was actually a scumbag!

"No, Lian, you were the one who asked me to rescue them. Now that they've been rescued, are you just going to walk away and not care about them?"

Lian felt a little embarrassed, that wasn't what she meant.

"It's not that I don't care. I feel like I can't even take care of myself. If I take them with me, what if something goes wrong again?"

"Then don't worry. The environment in the North is quite good. We are in need of talented young people right now. You can all find jobs in the North."

A bunch of noble ladies, even the worst ones can read and count. Such people are not popular in the king's palace, but they are high-level cattle and horses in the north.

"Also, you may have underestimated your brother. Carton has invested in a lot of industries in the past two years. He is now the richest man among the younger generation in the North, and even in the entire human kingdom."

There are only a few dozen women, and at most a few dozen pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Kadon can fully afford such consumption.

“…That’s my brother’s money! How can I spend it on these little girls!”

"Hiss~ Lian, think about it, Kadon is already an adult, he should get married and have children. You know all the girls who have experienced oppression with you. It is better for such a girl to be with your brother than a woman who suddenly appears out of nowhere and wants to rob your family property!"

Lian pinched her chin and thought for a long time, and finally agreed with Li's statement.

Lian and the girls behind her, whether forced or voluntarily, have embarked on a path of no return.

Now the only place to stay is the North, which is the only remaining hope.

Lian buried her head in Li's arms, and sadness flashed through her heart again.

"Li, at this point, the conflict between us and the Kingdom and the Holy Temple cannot be reconciled. I feel like we're going to have to go to war, isn't that right?"

Li stroked Lian's hair to calm her down.

"The kingdom has been at peace for long enough. It's time for a civil war. But I promise you, even if there is a war between humans, I will try my best to control the scale of the war and not hurt innocent people."

Li's assurance touched the softest part of Lian's heart.

Lian wants to become a knight in order to protect the weak from being bullied.

"Li, let's go, let's go to the North together!"

“…I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you, Lian.”
