The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 430 The Value of the Devil

A big man jumped out of the devil's mouth, calling the devil "baby".

Lucas was completely stunned. He looked at the faces of the three workers quietly, then cast his gaze up to the sky.

Lucas thought he might be dreaming.

"Goddess, please wake me up from this nightmare..."

Lian and Edward, who heard the unusual noise, rushed over to rescue Lucas.

"stand at attention!"

At Lian's command, the three workers who were on top of Lucas immediately stood up straight, and pulled Lucas up to stand as the fourth.

The workers in the military factory are also under military control, and they will not refuse the orders of the regiment commander Lian.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Report to the commander! We were trying to transport a batch of newly-made ammunition to the warehouse, but this guy rushed over, attacked and destroyed the transport vehicle!"

A worker who looked like a farmer explained the whole incident succinctly.

Edward's eyes lit up and he appreciated the personal qualities of the Northern soldiers even more.

"Let him go and report the damage to the maintenance team."

"Yes!"

Lian solved the problem in no time, but Lucas refused to accept it.

"Lord Edward! The people of the North are true heretics. They are trying to control the devil. We must not let them do that!"

Edward had already seen the transport machine in front of him. It was made entirely of steel, with four wheels supporting its sturdy body.

Edward, who often fights demons on the battlefield, is naturally very familiar with this.

Edward looked at Lian beside him, demanding an explanation with his eyes.

Lian was not panicked at all, although she did the same thing as Lucas when she first saw the transporter.

"Lord Edward, this is just a tool for easy transportation. Do you have any questions?"

Edward was silent for a while, but finally he strengthened his belief.

"The people of the North are using demonic technology. You are touching the forbidden area!"

"I don't think so."

Lian signaled Edward to move aside and avoid the main road in front of the factory.

The driver got back into the car and the transportation process started again.

Looking at the metal car that suddenly started moving, Edward suppressed the urge to chop it with his sword.

"Lord Edward, you can see that this thing is a dead object that needs to be controlled by people. It is the same as those fixed production machines in the factory, except that it has four more wheels."

The nobles in the royal capital can accept industrialized production, so why can't they accept moving machines?

The answer is, I really can’t accept it.

Like a still wax figure, you will appreciate it with an artistic eye.

But when the wax figure moves and walks with you, you will have to call you awesome if you don't wet your pants.

"This is not just a problem with the machine. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will leave!"

Edward's departure not only means the failure of cooperation, but also means that Edward will become an enemy.

Knowing that the people of the North are using devilish methods, Edward's Knights of Judgment will soon head to the North.

"Lord Edward, I once asked Li a similar question, and he told me that the devil himself is not wrong."

"Demons are the enemy of mankind. They are not wrong. Are we wrong?"

"Then Lord Edward, why don't you think about it carefully, where did the demon come from?"

Edward was silent. He was very good at fighting demons, but he really didn't know where the demons came from.

"Demons come from the magma of the blazing hell..."

"That's what the temple said publicly to scare people. What I'm asking about is the true origin of the demon."

Being stared at by Lian's serious eyes, Edward wanted to argue, but he didn't know what to say.

From the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, demons were his enemies. Who would have the time to check the demons' household registration?

"Li told me some conjectures, and I also got some evidence from His Majesty the King..."

Lian stood at the door of the factory where workers were coming and going and told Li the information he got after going to the capital.

Those demons are actually the product of human greed.

"You said that demons were weapons created by ancient wizards for power!"

Edward, who had come to this conclusion, was filled with rage.

He hated himself for being born too late and not being able to live in the same era as those ancient wizards!

"The authenticity of this conclusion is still to be discussed, but the possibility is 70% to 80%. Therefore, the North is currently preparing for war, in order to fight against those real enemies and prepare for future wars!"

"Are you going to attack hell?!"

"Yes, first stabilize the kingdom, then take back control of the southern continent, and finally completely eliminate the mastermind, the mother nest, the portal, or something else that has been sending demons here for some unknown reason!"

When Lian said this, her eyes were full of determination, without a trace of confusion.

Edward looked at the workers passing by and found that they were doing the same thing.

Edward had never thought before that the North would set such a grand goal.

Edward thought about stabilizing the kingdom, and he also thought about taking back the southern continent, but it was the first time that the concept of completely solving the problem of demons and the problems behind them appeared in Edward's mind.

But Lian said something that shocked Edward.

"Demons are also valuable. Using demonic techniques to attack demons is called giving them a taste of their own medicine."

Lost, lost in all aspects.

If the North's goal was simply to unify the kingdom, Edward felt that they would have achieved it by now.

The reason why the kingdom is still in the stage of confrontation between the north and the south is that the northerners deliberately control the rhythm.

The North still needs resources from the capital, just like a beast will not hunt all its prey at once.

Absorb nutrients and fatten yourself. The north is full of jackals and tigers.

terrible!

"Lord Edward, do you want to continue~"

The kind smile on Lian's face looked like a devil's trap in Edward's eyes.

Seeing that Edward did not deny it, Lian happily called her subordinates to move a box of new products out of the factory.

Seeing Lian pick up a cylindrical object, Edward barely suppressed his anxiety and uneasiness.

“…What is this? A new flavored can?”

Edward knew that the canned food produced in the North was very delicious, and his subordinates strongly requested that the military rations be replaced with canned food from the North, but Edward was influenced by various factors and delayed making a decision.

The king is speeding up the construction of a canning production line, striving to produce logistical supplies to supply the army.

However, Edward tasted the sample sent by the king, and the taste was indescribable.

"Go prepare a truckload of canned food and send it to the hotel where Lord Edward is staying."

"Yes!"

Lian's deputy immediately went down to carry out the order, so fast that Edward had no time to stop him.

Edward shouted in a very low voice.

"Come back soon! I don't need canned food! Oh, why did you go so far away... Master Lian, please explain what you have in your hand. You specially introduced it. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be very important."

Lian was almost amused by Edward's little action. In order to maintain her dignified image, Lian tried to hold back her laughter in pain.

In order to divert her attention, Lian threw the jar away.

Lian threw the jar onto an open space seven or eight meters away. There was a bang and a fierce chill swept over.

With the place where the can landed as the center, a lump of ice quickly solidified and soon grew into an iceberg about three meters in height.

The cold air flow made Edward shiver unconsciously, but his heart was burning hotly.

"This is an intermediate ice spell, Arctic Cold!"
