The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 446 Questions

The gates of the palace were opened, and a corridor connecting the area that was originally separated from the church had been built.

After the renovation and construction, the royal palace and the church were combined into one, which in a practical sense emphasized the Pope's ruling status.

The old king returned to his familiar palace to work. Except for appearing in front of the public on specific days, the king's work and life had not changed much.

"Please come in, Knight Saoirse!"

Saoirse met the king with trepidation. She had already learned from Edward about the changes in the capital and the king's thoughts.

But when it came time to meet the king, Saoirse was still extremely nervous.

A red carpet led straight to the king's room, where the king sat on the glittering golden throne, waiting for Saoirse's report.

Saoirse took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee about seven and a half steps away from the king.

"Your Holiness the Pope..."

"You could come a little closer. It's tiring to talk when we're so far away."

Saoirse looked up in surprise and saw the king smiling at her.

The kind old man does not feel any pressure from being in a higher position. Is this the king before and the pope now?

Instead of feeling relieved, Saoirse became even more serious.

"Your Majesty, I am a sinner who failed to complete the mission assigned to me by the Holy Temple."

"Whether you are a sinner or not is for me to judge. Raise your head, Knight Saoirse!"

Saoirse looked up with a flushed face, as if she had been whipped.

The Pope must have the dignity of a Pope, and now this is the right thing!

Seeing Saoirse's strange reaction, the old king's mouth twitched. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the Knight Saoirse in front of him.

"I saw the report that returned before you. Vizar Li is going to launch a war against the capital?"

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Servants brought in boxes from outside, which were the weapons and equipment brought back by the transport vehicles.

"Your Holiness! The population and resources of the North are not as good as those of the capital, but you should not take it lightly. They are using the powerful industrial production capacity to narrow the gap with the orthodox kingdom!"

Saoirse pointed to the box next to her and warned the old king in a tone that could attract the most attention to the matter to be careful.

The old king fell into deep thought. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly twice.

Then there was a long silence among the kings.

The old king did not let anyone open the box and check the items inside. He just thought silently, which made Saoirse a little anxious.

"Your Holiness! Please take my words seriously. Once the northerners start a war, it will be very difficult to deal with them!"

Saoirse even wanted to take the initiative to show the weapons in the box, but when she thought about the danger of raising weapons in front of the Pope, she could only stand there and worry.

"…Ah, I believe what you said. I am not stupid enough to underestimate the people of the North."

The old king had personally played against Lee on the chessboard, so he naturally understood that every move Lee made would not be simple.

"I'm just very surprised, Vizor Li, why did you act so quickly? Do you have any idea?"

On Lee's last day in the capital, the old king set a trap for Lee, then let him go as a favor.

Logically, Li would temporarily maintain the situation in the north to give the old king more time to reorganize the kingdom.

What made Li suddenly change his plans?

Silsa was a little confused. She didn't know the king very well and didn't know what kind of answer the king wanted to give this time.

Fortunately, the saint came in soon.

"Your Holiness, I think this is related to the sudden appearance of God in the North."

The saint then slowly narrated what had happened during this trip to the north.

When describing the situation, the saint tried her best to only state objective facts, without adding her own views on the North.

But the king could tell from the saint's actions that she had undergone considerable changes after this long journey.

For example, the saint did not hold the holy book that she valued most in her hands, but simply hung it around her waist with a chain.

After the Saint, Edward also came in to give his report. Only Lucas, a nobody, didn't even have the qualifications to enter the King's Chamber.

"Your Holiness, I must return to the Knights of Judgment immediately. The southern coast must not be lost!"

The old king allowed Edward to return and lead his troops to fight the demon.

Seeing them make the decision, Saoirse became anxious again.

"Your Majesty, my Lord! The North is the biggest threat. I think we should dispatch Lord Edward to fight against the North..."

As soon as Saoirse expressed her opinion, everyone in the audience focused their attention on her.

Saoirse panicked immediately. She bowed her head and apologized, but she didn't know where she was wrong.

Edward also didn't expect that Saoirse, who performed well in the North, would express such stupid opinions after returning to the capital.

"Knight Saoirse, you must understand that demons are the greatest enemy of mankind at all times!"

Saoirse was too ashamed to retort. She took several steps back and retreated directly to the side of the servant at the door.

Seeing that Saoirse no longer interfered with the decision, the king returned to his kind smile.

"Captain Edward, I'm relying on you to maintain the coast. As for Vizor Lee, if I find out what methods he used, I will inform you immediately."

The king's audience was over and everyone left the palace.

Having made a mistake, Saoirse quickly ran to Edward.

"Lord Edward! Please punish me. I have made an unforgivable mistake!"

"I am not qualified to punish you. If you really want to make amends for your mistakes, go and report to Lucas."

Saoirse bowed respectfully, but her heart was filled with resentment.

Everyone has long known what kind of person Lucas is, and Saoirse is dissatisfied with Edward's treatment of her.

Edward could see that she was unhappy and looked down on Lucas.

But Edward would not change his decision.

Saoirse is capable and determined to be loyal to the kingdom, but sometimes being too determined can lead to irreversible consequences.

Others will not be able to understand this kind of thing. Only by experiencing it personally and suffering some pain will young people understand the value of trade-offs and compromises.

Edward looked up at the sky. White clouds were floating in the sky, and they looked no different from yesterday or tomorrow.

The weather will not change because of any decision made by people on earth, and time will not slow down because you are anxious about the present.

The sense of urgency in Edward's heart gradually eased. He knew that as long as he did his job well, he would have no regrets.

Now, Edward only cared about one thing, which was that, like the king, he couldn't figure out from which angle Lee would launch an attack on the kingdom.

"Li, how many amazing things will you do?"
