The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

As we headed north, desolation and cold became everyone's fantasy.

Every time we pass through a small town, the local prosperity refreshes everyone's cognition again and again.

The weather outside was indeed cold, but once you entered a building, whether it was a tavern or an inn, you would be so hot that you would sweat all over.

"These people are really something. Wood is free, right? Why is the stove so hot?"

The female knight who was traveling with her kept complaining, walking back and forth in front of Lian in a small vest that showed her flesh color.

"Be quiet. We can't let the Vatican knights next to us look down on us."

"Yes yes yes~"

Freyr Lian, the eldest daughter of the Freyr family, accepted the order from the kingdom to suppress the rebellion in the north.

Traveling to the north with her was an elite group of knights of the Holy See.

Looking back on the process of working together with the Vatican Knights over the past few days, Lian felt very uncomfortable.

Wherever those Vatican knights arrived, they would display the banner of the temple and impose additional taxes.

Watching the knights plundering the last of their wealth from the free folks, Lian wanted to draw her sword and chop them down several times, but she finally held back.

"How can the Vatican Knights still look upright?"

After spitting at the Vatican knights in the next room, Lian unbuttoned her chest to let the heat out.

What his personal guard said was right, the stove in this hotel was indeed too hot.

"Miss, are you reading the young master's letter again? You've read it many times along the way."

Lian reads every letter from her younger brother Carton carefully.

Lian would burn the normal greetings and letters reporting safety after reading them, but there were a few letters containing important information that Lian always carried with her and did not dare to let go for even a moment.

"Miss, those people in the Holy Hall dared to attack the young master, are we really going to endure it?"

Lian raised her hand and pushed away the guard's big head, letting her go to the side and calm down.

Lian's eyes swept across the letter, and every time she saw the words about Carton's head being injured by the kobold, anger surged in Lian's heart.

Lian was furious after reading the letter, especially when the priest who harmed Carton dared to jump out and cause trouble. Lian wanted to kill all the trash next door.

Lian's chest heaved with anger, and she wished she could return to her brother immediately.

"Carton, it's my sister's incompetence that failed to take good care of you."

After putting down the worrying letter, Lian picked up another secret letter.

This letter contained many things that concerned Lian. The one that confused Lian the most was a name that she had long forgotten but suddenly popped up recently.

"Weize Li, the one who started the rebellion in the North, could it really be him?"

In Lian's memory, Li is still the same as when he was six or seven years old. Lian still remembers that when she was a child, she had a bad temper and would pull a shy little boy to hide in a dark room to play the game of princess and knight.

"That boy, is he already capable of controlling a territory..."

Lian couldn't understand how Li managed to control the North.

Lian also didn't understand why Li did this.

But Lian understood how much effort it took to turn a barren land into a fertile territory.

Lian continued to look through the remaining letters, looking at the manufacturing methods of various novel things that Ximanda sent to her.

There are also manufacturing drawings of key machinery.

Given Lian's status, after obtaining these good things, she should present them to the king so that the entire kingdom can gain industrial power.

But can the kingdom really accept these changes?

"My lady, those knights are causing trouble again!"

There was a loud noise outside the hotel and a woman's terrified scream.

Lian put away the secret letter and went to the window to look out.

I saw several aggressive Vatican knights beating civilians on the roadside, and two people were pulling a girl.

Lian only took two glances and figured out the general situation.

"Those bastards are getting more and more outrageous the further they get from the capital!"

Seeing the knights below draw their swords and try to chop down the civilians who were trying to stop them, Lian jumped directly from the hotel window and kicked down the Vatican knights who were using force recklessly.

The knight who was kicked rolled on the ground, then got up cursing.

When the angry knight saw that the person who attacked him was Lian, he laughed instead.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Miss Lian. Miss Lian's kick was really powerful, it made my bones crisp~"

The knight whistled at Lian while moving his aching shoulder.

Lian jumped out of the hotel directly without even having time to put on her coat. She did look quite alluring now.

She had an attractive figure, but Lian's face looked even cooler than the temperature outside.

"You bastards, causing trouble everywhere, what kind of knights are you!"

"Ms. Lian, you have to understand that it was these civilians who angered us."

The Vatican knights who were caught committing evil deeds by Lian did not realize their mistakes at all.

When the bullied civilians saw that Lian was supporting them, they immediately began to denounce her.

"Miss, they were the first to make excessive demands, wanting women to serve them. We refused, and they beat us up! Please help us!"

The crying of the civilians made Lian's face look even worse. She was also a woman, so she naturally knew the bad intentions of the knights of the Vatican.

Lian wants to stand up for those who are being bullied.

However, the knight who was causing trouble was the first to retort.

"Miss Lian, why do you have to listen to these peasants' nonsense? You are a noble, and so am I. We are standing together. These peasants dare to resist our orders. They are guilty!"

The knight took a step forward, his eyes roaming over Lian without disguising.

"I now suspect that they are involved in the rebellion in the North. Miss Lian, do you think it's okay for me to arrest them?"

Lian, who originally wanted to be patient, could no longer suppress her anger after hearing the Vatican Knights' self-righteous words.

Lian reached out and took off her earrings, and the pitch-black sword took shape in her hands.

The Vatican knights who saw this scene drew their swords.

"I've long known that the Freyr family has the intention of rebellion. Lian, you are also guilty of associating with the rebels!"

The Vatican Knights were doing disgusting things along the way just to make Lian take the initiative.

Now that their goal has been achieved, the knights are very excited.

Lian is the daughter of the Grand Duke, and her figure and fighting skills are first-rate.

As long as we can control Lian and take her back to the capital, we can enjoy it as we please~

The Vatican Knights had a good plan, but unfortunately they underestimated Lian's strength.

How could a group of young people who relied on family connections to enter the Vatican Knights be a match for Lian, who possessed the divine weapon?

Before the Vatican knights could activate the enchanted runes on their swords, the black rose in Lian's hand had already swept out.

"Great sword skill, Annual Rings!"

The clanging sounds of breaking metal continued to ring out, and the Vatican knights were so frightened that they retreated desperately.

Some timid knights were so frightened that they peed their pants.

The enchanted swords in their hands and the sturdy blessed armor were easily cut through by Lian.

Lian did not take their lives. After disarming the Vatican knights, Lian put away the sacred weapon and walked straight back to the hotel.

"Miss, are we just going to let them go like this?"

They have bullied the young lady, and Lian's personal guards just want to kill all those bastards.

Lian stopped the guards and took them back to the hotel room.

"Killing those bastards is useless. The source of the evil is not them..."

Lian looked down outside. The frightened Vatican Knights were still in a daze.

Lian sighed, with no one to confide in about the pain in her heart.
