The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 433 Leftovers

"Lady Saint, would you like to go to the cafeteria together?"

Early the next morning, Lucas came to the saint's door diligently.

The quick glance yesterday left a deep impression on Lucas.

Lucas didn't sleep the whole night. The anxiety typical of young people drove him to look for the saint again early in the morning.

Just before knocking on the door, Lucas became conflicted again. He was afraid that the Saint would hate him for disturbing her, but he also didn't want to miss any opportunity to get close to her.

Lucas knew that he had important things to do today and he shouldn't be so distracted, but he just couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, the saint seemed to have noticed his presence and took the initiative to open the door.

"Lucas, I remember telling you that you don't have to wait at the door so early in the morning."

"I'm sorry! But I'm your knight! Standing guard is my duty!"

The saint smiled playfully and opened the door to let Lucas in.

The saint changed into a nightgown, which was a bit conservative. Lucas felt a little regretful when he saw it.

"Lady Saint, I asked the hotel staff and they said that I can take the food back to my room to eat. I will go to the restaurant to get it now."

"Then I'll trouble you, my little knight~"

Lucas left the Saint's room lightly. He was completely fascinated by the Saint's special temperament and did not notice that the Saint behaved differently today than usual.

Poor boy, he thought the saint had changed her mind about him.

After breakfast, the saint did not go to the church this time, but stayed in the hotel lobby, waiting silently.

When Edward and Lucas came out, they were blocked by the Saint.

"Saint, will you join us today?"

The saint nodded, holding the holy book in her arms, and said nothing more.

Lucas on the side was so happy that he wanted to tell the saint about the strange things happening in the Northern military camp.

But Lucas thought again that he seemed to have nothing to be happy about.

Neither Edward nor the Saint paid any attention to this immature and foolish boy.

"Your Highness, is there anything special about the church of the northerners?"

“…They are exploring the inner world of man, rather than blaming all suffering and torture on the gods.”

Edward nodded, and their communication was cut short.

Three guests came to the military camp, and Lian was still the one to entertain them today. The Saint seemed a little disappointed that Li was not there.

This was not the first time Lian had seen the Saint. When she was under the control of the Saint in the temple, the two sides had had considerable conflicts.

Lian originally thought that after seeing the development momentum of the North, the Saint would reflect on herself, but the Saint in front of her didn't care, which made Lian a little dissatisfied.

"Lady Saint, I wonder what you think after seeing the development of the North."

When the saint saw Lian looking for trouble with her, she gave a playful smile.

"Frel Lian, I didn't expect you to really get close to Li this time. It's really not easy~"

The saint's words were incomprehensible. Lian pondered over them for a long time but still couldn't figure out from what standpoint the saint said this.

"You mean engagement? I'm engaged to Li, what does it have to do with you!"

"Of course it matters, because the Li who is with you is just the leftovers of me~"

It was the first time that Lian met someone with such a foul mouth, and the saint in front of her had a more awkward personality than when she was in the royal capital.

Could it be that the bastard Li had an affair with the saint while he was stranded in the royal capital?

"What do you mean!"

"I don't mean anything~"

"Oh! Are you looking for trouble? How can you, as a saint, talk like that?"

Lian felt uncomfortable all over because of the provocation of the saint.

Edward and the others couldn't understand what the saint had eaten today and why she started arguing with Miss Frere.

"Lord Saint?"

"Hmph~ Never mind, I'm here to look for Li, where is Li?"

Lian subconsciously glanced in Li's direction, then realized that what Li was doing was confidential.

"Why should I tell you...wait! You can't go over there!"

Li, who was called by Amber to do research, is now having a headache with a problem.

Li wanted Amber to develop a device for long-distance communication. Amber took out a magic circle model, but there was a problem that could not be avoided in actual use.

"Lee, you've also seen that a single communication can be transmitted clearly, but once multiple communications occur, the sounds will be mixed together."

In front of Li and Amber was a magic array plate with complex magic runes combined into a dizzying pattern.

This magic circle can transmit sound dozens of kilometers away, and the sound will remain original without distortion.

Li was very excited during the initial test, but when multiple people were communicating at the same time, the voices were all mixed together, like a garbled CD, making a crackling and harsh sound.

Magic is a very convenient thing that can solve many special troubles. However, due to the problems of magic itself, it can also be difficult to solve them.

"Is there no way to divide the sound transmission channel into different frequency bands?"

Based on the experience on Earth, Li explained the communication principles of electromagnetic waves.

Amber didn't react after hearing this.

"Magic sound transmission is not the wave you mentioned. It is a supernatural power, a power transmission based on magic!"

Amber talked a lot, but Li didn't understand a word she said.

Compared with Amber, the magic expert, Li's knowledge of magic is similar to that of a college student who only knows how to attack with all his might.

“…Alas, I still don’t have enough technical experience.”

After discussing for a long time without finding a solution to the problem, Li finally sighed helplessly.

Just then, Lian appeared at the research center with the Saint.

"Lee! This madman attacked the guards with holy light, and I couldn't stop him!"

The first time Lian saw Li, she complained to him.

Normally people are not allowed to approach here. Even with Lian's authority, she needs to report before she can come in.

But today, the saint insisted on seeing Li. After learning Li's location, she ignored all obstacles and broke directly into the most heavily guarded research and development center in the north.

Soldiers armed with live ammunition immediately surrounded the place. They pointed their tubular weapons at the saint, as if ready to shoot at any time.

Edward, who came along, noticed the special weapons held by the guards. He was sure that the North had more than one weapon hidden.

But now is not the time to ponder this issue.

"Saint! We are guests, so we are more or less..."

Everyone ignored Edward's words, especially the Saint and Li who were confronting each other in the field.

Li looked at the saint carefully for a few times and felt an extremely familiar aura from her.

Lee raised his hand to stop the soldier.

"All clear, return to your posts!"

After the soldiers confirmed that Li's order was effective, they all retreated quietly.

Only a few people related to Li and the Saint were left at the scene. They looked at the two people who were inexplicably targeting them with puzzled eyes.

Li and the saint looked at each other for a long time, and finally, Li made a gesture of invitation.

"Saint, let's talk outside."
