The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 342 The Useless Young Man

Li had a shameless face and was grinning foolishly, leaving the king and Edward speechless.

Which good person would expose someone else's plan in front of them? Li even laughed at the king right in the face. Was he afraid that he wouldn't die fast enough?

Edward's head was full of questions, and his anger towards the king was wiped out by Lee's interruption.

Only the king had a donkey face and glared at Li with dissatisfaction.

"…Since you saw through my plan, why did you kill Cid? Don't you want to see the kingdom become better?"

If Li answered that he didn't want to, then Li would completely stand against the kingdom.

Once such a thing is admitted, public opinion will never be reversed, and Li's idea of ​​relying on the North to conquer the Kingdom will never be realized.

"I didn't think too much about it. I took action only because that West German bishop was too irritating. Lian is innocent, and I can't just leave her alone."

The reason why Li Hui intervened in this matter was very simple, he was just trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

As for the king's long-term plans, what does it have to do with Li?

"A hero saving a beautiful girl? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. As far as I know, you only met the little girl from Freyr's family once before you went to rescue her. You were only five and a half years old that year!"

The king knew very well that Li and Lian had no close relationship. In terms of the friendship between Li and the Freyr family, Li and the head maid, Shimanda, were even closer.

Li really wanted to tell the old king that he had had many interactions with Lian in the dream world, but it was not easy to say such things out loud.

"I really don't have much contact with Lian, but I have a good relationship with Carton. We call each other brothers. If I can't even protect Carton's sister, how can I have the face to see Carton~"

The old king almost forgot that the Freyr family had a disappointing little son.

This is not the king's fault, because when Carton was in the royal capital, he was a transparent person who was bullied.

Carton became sensible and capable after he went to the North.

The Kings really don't pay enough attention to Cohen.

"Katon... I'm confused, why do young people who are cowardly in the capital always have amazing development when they come to your place?"

This problem has troubled the king for a long time.

The young people in the royal capital are generally infected by the lifestyle of luxury and extravagance, and there are hardly any of them who can take on important responsibilities.

Even the king's son, Prince Leon, was only trained by the king himself for a few years and then left alone.

"They are decadent, cowardly, and ambitious. They retreat when faced with problems, but they change when they arrive in the North. Why is that?"

The king asked this question twice, which shows how important this question is in his heart.

Come to think of it, the hope and future of a country lies in the younger generation.

If the younger generation is unable to shoulder the responsibility, no matter how much the parents worked hard to leave behind, it will still be completely destroyed in the hands of their children and grandchildren.

Lee was amused by the king's stupid question.

Li thought to himself, do you really think I am a wise man who can answer questions? The king must be getting old and confused.

"It's a simple truth. As a successful person, when you look at the work of beginners, no matter what they do or how well they complete it, it is worthless in your eyes."

The king looks down on today's young people because the king is judging them by the king's standards.

"Business in the Northland is very simple. You go there and do your job. If you make a mistake, you pay for it yourself, suffer losses, and go bankrupt. If you do it right, you gain experience, and you can do better and earn more next time."

The business environment in the North is completely new, and everyone there is a newcomer.

All newcomers are at the same starting line. If you make money from trading, it shows your ability. If you lose money, you will learn from your mistakes.

"Because there are enough opportunities for trial and error, young people grow up quickly. Your Majesty, if you also want the young people in the capital to stand up, then give them ample opportunities for trial and error~"

The king once again fell into deep thought.

It turns out that young people are useless. Is it because I have too high standards?

It was Edward who was the fastest to accept this point of view.

Edward had no concerns about his rights. He very much hoped that more young people would stand up and take up the banner of the Knights of Judgment.

"The main fighting force of the Knights of Judgment is now old. After I return, I will try to give the young people more opportunities."

"Oh, my respected Vice Captain Edward, the battlefield is not a joke. You should think twice before making this decision."

Li was not optimistic about Edward's idea.

Considering the current strength of the human kingdom, if it wastes even a little more, the war with the demons will most likely fail.

After the last failure, humans withdrew from the southern continent and gave all the fertile land and rich areas to the demons.

If we fail again, where can humanity retreat to?

Will they all go up to the plateau and herd cattle to survive?

"You mean, you don't want me to change the Knights of Judgment? But if one elite of the Knights of Judgment dies, we will lose one, and we have always been short of manpower..."

"Then you shouldn't let young people risk their lives. Find a controllable training method to let your Knights' candidates get familiar with high-intensity combat in advance~"

What Li said is a good idea.

“But where can I find a safe and controllable training program?”

"Since you asked sincerely, I will mercifully tell you! I am in charge of the Northern Warrior Training Camp. If you are seriously injured or die during training, I will guarantee your resurrection~"

Li took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Edward in a frivolous manner.

This business card was prepared in advance by Xiaoli. Xiaoli's qualities as a maid are really impeccable.

"…Warrior training camp? Resurrection?"

Edward knew that Li mastered the art of necromancy.

Edward just didn't expect that Li would turn his necromancy into a business, and a business of training warriors.

Edward imagined that soldiers could fight to their heart's content without worrying about the threat of death. Just thinking about that feeling was great!

"Wait a minute, the temple can also do this!"

Edward tapped his palms, awakening from the misunderstanding created by Li.

Lee's ability to directly resurrect the dead is indeed powerful, but the Temple also has the power of recovery.

Clergymen above the rank of high priest in the temple can also provide emergency treatment for wounds.

If there are enough high-level priests on standby when soldiers are training, the training efficiency of the soldiers can definitely be improved to a higher level.

However, there is a problem here.

"The temple can indeed do this, but whether the priests are willing to condescend is not something you and I can decide~"

The temple is good in every way except for the high-ranking priests, who are all too arrogant.

Normally, if a noble had a headache or a fever, these priests would charge high fees for treatment, and sometimes they would deliberately keep the person in suspense and not fully cure him.

Edward wanted to send the high-level priest to the training camp as a medical staff. Li felt that Edward could only accomplish this in a dream.

“…After all, there is something fundamentally wrong with the Holy Temple. Is there no hope for the Holy Temple?”
