The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 424 It's All Right

Edward has become the head of the group, and this is something to be happy about.

In the past, the Holy Temple was afraid that Edward would take control of the legion and fail to react in time, so it deliberately arranged a captain with a noble status but no ability.

Edward silently endured that piece of trash riding on his head. It was really not easy these years.

Now, after all the hard work, Edward has no one to hinder him and can do great things!

With Li's warm hospitality, everyone got drunk. Neither Li nor Edward used their abilities to dispel the alcohol, and they enjoyed the feeling of being together among friends.

After sending Edward to the hotel, Li whistled and prepared to go home to sleep.

However, just as he took a few steps, a tail followed him.

Li didn't need to turn his head to know that the person who exuded the aura of faith could only be the Saint...

In fact, Li didn't feel any breath of faith at all. He just smelled the fragrance of the shower gel used in the bath center.

"Saint, you are tired from the journey. Why don't you take a rest early and come out for a walk instead?"

The saint put on her robes, her entire face was shrouded in shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"Weize Li, you are indeed different from the rumors."

"Oh? What are the rumors about me?"

"It has devil wings and eats a person every day, with sauce."

"Ha~ I didn't expect the saint could tell jokes."

Li and the Saint really had nothing to talk about, and the Saint's jokes made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Li could never understand why this saint was so hostile towards him.

He had never eaten the rice from the Saint's house, nor had he ever eaten the Saint's tofu.

“…I can sense the evil in your heart!”

“…I’m sorry, that’s rude.”

Li originally wanted to go home and sleep, but the saint was following him, so Li couldn't bring her home.

In order to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, Li thought of a good place to go.

Here in Windmill River Bay, there are some places that are still open at night.

Sweatshops that exploit labor, the sex industry that does booming business at night, casinos opened by nobles, bathing centers where people can stay overnight, and churches that give alms to the poor.

Li chose the last option!

"There's really nowhere good to go at night. I think the saint should be more friendly to the church."

Li led the saint across a street and came to a brightly lit church.

Some homeless wanderers were clinging to the corner of the church, and each of them threw a copper coin to Li when he passed by.

"Only one copper coin per person. Is this to make up for your guilty conscience?"

Li paused and looked at the saint with an unhappy expression.

"What's wrong with one copper coin? There were more than a dozen people just now, which means more than a dozen copper coins. And I give them to them every day! Saint, how many people have you helped, and how many copper coins have you given?"

The saint's breath was choked, and her eyes under the hood were a little evasive.

She just wanted to belittle Li, who had done so many evil things but pretended to be kind.

But what Li said hit the saint's sore spot.

The saint had always stayed in the temple before. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all provided by the temple. She had no money of her own and naturally had never given alms to the poor.

Only when some ceremonies are held...

Thinking of this, the saint raised her head.

"The ceremonies I performed have blessed many believers, and the Holy Communion I distributed has fed many poor people!"

"Then you really did some good things."

Li praised sincerely, but he couldn't do anything about the saint.

The saint could hear the sincerity in Li's words, which showed that Li was really pleased that the saint had given alms to others.

It was clearly a compliment, but the saint felt that she did not deserve it.

The saint took a deep breath and then blamed all her discomfort on Li.

This damn heretic, he must have used evil magic to affect my emotions!

While the saint was relieving herself of her worries, Theresa led several young clergymen, carrying freshly baked bread and distributing it to the homeless people living under the wall one by one.

When the saint saw them doing good deeds, she hurried over to praise them.

"To the clergy who are trapped in the north but still yearn for light, the Holy Light will protect you!"

Theresa turned her head away in embarrassment. She couldn't understand what was going on with the saint all of a sudden.

Theresa didn't recognize the saint, so she had to look at Li who was counting ants beside her.

Theresa's eyes were filled with the words "Where did you find this psychopath?"

"Ahem~ She is a saint, carefully nurtured by the temple, a pure saint who truly serves the goddess."

nurture?

What a strange choice of words.

The saint liked Theresa's gentle and kind aura very much. She came close to Theresa and enthusiastically took her hand.

"Sister, the merciful goddess will remember everything you have done, and the suffering people who have received your help will also remember that you are sowing the seeds of glory, and the holy faith will blossom everywhere..."

Theresa forcibly pulled her hand back. She used to think that Li was prejudiced against faith. But today, when she met the saint who was fanatical about faith, Theresa finally understood that Li's prejudice was not wrong.

"These are all things that should be done. They are not worth being thanked or remembered."

Theresa replied casually, and after finishing the job quickly, she told her companions to retreat back into the church.

However, the saint was stunned by Teresa's casual words.

It's all as it should be...

How can it be as it should be?

It is indeed as it should be.

As the goodwill ambassador of the church, the saint's job is to give alms to the people.

Giving alms is the work of the saint. Just like the clergy just now, they did not feel complacent because they did good deeds.

The Saint grabbed Li's arm, her hands were shaking, her whole body was trembling.

Li was frightened by the saint's behavior. Just when he was about to shout "mockery", he found that the saint's condition was very abnormal.

The saint seemed to have suffered some kind of impact and her body was about to break.

"Hey! Don't scare me, I didn't do anything!"

If the saint suddenly fell ill and died in front of him, Li felt that no one would listen to his explanation.

Would Edward raise his sword and strike himself?

"It's our duty to help the poor, right?"

"what?"

"You say, shouldn't I be happy about this?"

Li was a little speechless.

"Of course you can be happy. You helped others. Why are you unhappy? Are you crying?"

"But the nun just now was not happy about what she did."

"Ha~ Teresa, she's usually pretty happy, but she gets a sour face when she sees me."

The saint did not believe what Li said. Instead, she felt that her ideas had been wrong all along.

"No, as a saint, mercy is my duty. I shouldn't think of this as something to show off! I was wrong."

Seeing the saint's appearance, Li suddenly realized that the saint's mentality was changing dramatically.

This is a good thing for Li!

"Well, if this is wrong, then the nobles protecting the people in their territories is nothing to be proud of. They following the spirit of chivalry is nothing to be proud of. Even the king's hard work is justified. It is right for merchants to make a lot of money. Even if the fields have a good harvest, farmers should not be complacent..."

Hearing Li's words, the saint's eyes widened suddenly.

"So, the nobles were wrong, the king was wrong, everyone was wrong, and the temple was even more so..."
