The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer
Chapter 329 For Whom the Bell Tolls
Watching the carriage carrying Lian and a group of girls go away, Li stood silently by the roadside, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Since the ascension ceremony, I have merged with my self in this world.
Li always felt that the hand of fate was pushing him from behind.
Just now when Lian invited him to leave together, Li subconsciously wanted to agree.
Returning home hand in hand with a beautiful girl should be the best ending for many stories.
However, for Li now, there are more important things to do in the royal capital.
Just as Li was able to fish in troubled waters under the nose of the Holy Temple, Li was also afraid that if he was not in the royal capital, the kingdom would have new movements that would threaten the rapidly developing North.
In this age without technological equipment, transportation and communication are big problems.
Once Li was unable to detect the changes in the royal capital in the first place, he felt uneasy.
Mr. Li feels that the kingdom's true power is still dormant. This is a world with extraordinary powers and different races. A human kingdom that has been able to function for hundreds of years is definitely not just the corruption that is now revealed.
"Master, you are still looking. Is Miss Lian so worthy of your nostalgia?"
Emma, this naughty kid, has liberated herself and released her nature since she was taken away from the assassin training camp by Li and Xiaoli.
Emma kept jumping back and forth on Li's baseline, breaking through from time to time.
Every time Li or Xiaoli became angry and wanted to teach Emma a lesson, she would giggle as if she had gotten a huge bargain.
Li knew that this was Emma's way of attracting attention to herself. She was trying to gain family love from Li and Xiaoli.
If people want to live happily, they must draw emotional nourishment.
This is also the reason why Li Yaolian took the girls north with her.
Li Conglian felt the self-abandonment caused by a shattered worldview. If she were left alone, she would definitely develop a mental illness.
“Living with the fate and expectations of others on your shoulders is a little hard, but it also allows you to stop being confused.”
"Master, what you said is so hard to understand~"
Lee took off his hat and placed it on Emma's chattering face.
The world is quiet.
The next moment, the world became noisy again.
Ding dong dong dong~
The church bells rang, striking thirteen times in a row.
The number thirteen is not auspicious in religious terms, so naturally this number is only used in very few places.
This is the death knell!
Li Yao looked at the church in the distance and knew that Bishop West Germany’s death must have been discovered by someone.
This dispute with the Holy Temple has just begun.
...
"For whom the bell tolls!"
The sudden ringing of the funeral bell instantly radiated throughout the entire cathedral. The clergy who were originally doing their own things stood still after hearing the bell.
The church's funeral bell has not rung for more than twenty years. The last time the bell was rung was to bury the previous archbishop.
However, when the previous archbishop died, everyone in the cathedral had already known that the archbishop was seriously ill, and even the royal capital and other places had already prepared for the archbishop's death.
But what about this time?
There was no sign and no one even knew who died!
After the heavy bell sounds gradually subsided, the clergy came back to their senses from their shock.
They all clasped their hands together and recited passages from the scriptures devoutly.
At this moment, the entire cathedral was united, and the holy light in people's hearts echoed each other, creating a column of light in the cathedral that reached high into the clouds.
When the people in the royal capital saw this wonderful sight, they all bowed their heads in silence. The whole kingdom was united, and the power of light was unprecedentedly strong.
All the dirt hiding in the dark corners of the royal capital was washed away by the holy light.
When people walk on the streets, they can hear miserable wails dissolved in the holy light from time to time.
People didn't know what was killed by the Holy Light, but everyone knew very well that it was harmful heresy.
"Praise the goddess, praise the holy light!"
The people in the royal capital were enjoying the long-lost holy light.
In the church, those who really knew what had happened were now running around like ants on a hot pan.
"The Archbishop has arrived!"
In the high-level meeting hall of the church, the archbishop arrived late.
The archbishop was preaching to a noble lady when he heard the tolling of the funeral bell.
The archbishop, whose sermon was interrupted by the death knell, was in a very bad mood. After he returned to the church, he had a sour face.
"Who rang the death knell? It's that unlucky guy who died in an accident again!"
The archbishop was very clear about the personnel structure of the church. As early as when he came to power, he replaced all the bishop-level personnel.
According to his age, he, the archbishop, was the most likely to die, but now a young man has surpassed him!
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened. Bishop Cid has died. His death was not an accident!"
"Sid? Is he dead?"
Upon hearing the news of Sid's death, the archbishop was stunned.
The archbishop looked around the entire venue, and everyone whose eyes passed by lowered their heads and did not respond.
The archbishop only saw a special box placed in the center of the venue.
"Can anyone tell me what is going on?"
Others did not want to take on such a heavy responsibility and in the end, the unlucky one could only be the water prison guard who neglected his duty.
The poor water dungeon guard was escorted to the meeting place with red eyes, and his hands and feet were shackled with heavy shackles.
The guard wanted to ask for help and protest his innocence, but he did not dare to disobey the opinions of so many adults.
"Sinner! Tell us how you found out Bishop Sid was dead!!"
The guard, who was treated as a criminal, trembled as he recounted the whole incident.
"The water dungeon holds criminals who rebelled against the West German bishop. We check on the criminals every day. Every time we check, the criminals are floating in the water dungeon. If we see that they haven't escaped, we will go back outside..."
There is nothing wrong with the guard's workflow because every guard does it this way.
It’s a pity that when it was his turn, such a big case happened.
"You never identify the criminal!"
"…Because criminals are also people I cannot afford to offend."
After the guard muttered this, the meeting place was silent for a moment, and then the leaders of the temple sitting around burst into strong condemnation.
"It was your neglect of duty that killed Bishop West Germany!"
"You shouldn't use such clumsy words to defend yourself!"
The news of Sid's death was only revealed after so many days, and the course of events can be said to be very clear.
The guards would check the water dungeon every day. After watching the prisoners soaking in the water from a distance, they would go back outside to breathe fresh air.
Little did they know that the head floating in the water dungeon had long been replaced with that of a West German bishop.
It was not until the Holy Maidens killed the knights and escaped, and the soldiers who encountered problems wanted to find Bishop West Germany to take charge of the situation, that people discovered that Bishop West Germany was nowhere to be found.
After searching around for a while, someone finally remembered that Bishop West Germany often went in and out of the water dungeon.
As a result, Sid's head was salvaged from the dungeon.
The archbishop listened to others' explanation for a long time before he finally understood what had happened.
He knew that Sid met his own death because he had provoked someone who was capable of resistance.
This result is what he deserves.
