The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 464 The Saint Who Named Herself

"There is no time to waste here, Lord Feng, please go to the battlefield in person and take control of the situation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the order, Duke Feng turned and left the palace.

The king prepared a royal army for him, and these people would serve as Duke Feng's personal guards to protect his safety.

Grand Duke Feng actually has his own personal guards, but the purpose of this aristocratic war is to consume those useless nobles.

Li assured Duke Feng that he could revive him even if he was in danger.

Cooperation between the two sides is one aspect, but competition is another.

Duke Feng has always wanted to fight the Northern Army led by Li Tiao, otherwise he would not have accepted the invitation to war this time.

Duke Feng took the appointment letter and wanted to go to the military camp outside the city to select some soldiers.

"Duke Feng, please wait a moment!"

Suddenly someone spoke, and Duke Feng turned around and saw that the person was wearing a church robe with a holy book hanging around his waist.

"Lady Saint! Blake Feng, pays respect to the Saint!"

"Grand Duke Feng, you don't have to treat me like this. I am a saint in name only. Please call me by my name, Maria!"

"Maria?"

Although Grand Duke Feng was not a member of the temple, he knew that the saint raised in the temple had no name at all.

Maria's face turned slightly red and she explained embarrassedly.

"I chose this name myself. After I went to the North, I found that I had a lot of problems. Pastor Martin told me that if I want to save others, I must first know myself."

Duke Feng was somewhat surprised that the saint in front of him was also influenced by the North.

"Reverend Martin, I know that the thoughts of that wise man can always inspire people."

Maria and Archduke Feng talked for a while about Pastor Martin.

After both parties got to know each other, Maria explained her intentions.

"Grand Duke Feng, are you accepting the Pope's order to lead the war in the central part of the kingdom?"

"Yes, Maria, this is your majesty's order and my expectation."

Maria showed a sad expression. She looked like a wounded bird, very lovable.

"Grand Duke Feng, I need your help with something."

When Archduke Feng saw that Maria had something to say, he raised his hand and asked his followers to stay away.

When only two of them were left, Maria bowed in gratitude.

"Grand Duke Feng, war will bring pain and death. Can you please end the war?"

"…As expected of a saint who truly yearns for light and benevolence, I understand your intentions, but the outcome of the war cannot be determined by my promise."

"Please wait a moment! Lord Feng, I don't understand, is war so necessary? Can't we solve the problem by sitting down and discussing it together? Must some people die and let pain and despair come before people will stop?"

When Grand Duke Feng saw Maria crying, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Even though the saint had been to the north once, she still saw too little.

War is the last resort to solve problems when no decision can be reached at the negotiation table.

At this point, no one will pay attention to the words negotiation, peace, and communication.

"Lady Saint, blindly advocating kindness and friendship will only make our enemies happy. You don't want your kindness and friendship to be bestowed upon the enemy. The goddess will not bless the demons, and I will naturally not discuss anything with the enemy in the north!"

Duke Feng couldn't get along with the Saint, so he simply changed back to calling her the Saint.

Seeing that Grand Duke Feng explained the matter so clearly, Maria decisively slapped the holy book at her waist.

"You heard it, right? They are enemies. There are only two outcomes: destroy them or be destroyed. Being too merciful is just giving in, and there is no way to stabilize the situation!"

The holy book flashed several times quickly, as if to refute, but it eventually dimmed.

Maria smiled again and bowed to Grand Duke Feng again.

"Thank you for the explanation, Mr. Feng~"

"Ah! Wait a minute, those questions you just asked, could it be that..."

Duke Feng was confused. He thought those questions were the doubts in the saint's mind, but looking at the current situation, it seemed more like the holy book was asking the questions.

“It’s the Holy Scripture.”

"Gah!"

Duke Feng's heart skipped a beat and he felt as if a dark cloud was gathering over his head.

But when I looked up, the sun was shining brightly today, with not a single cloud in the sky.

"How can the Holy Scripture raise these questions? The Holy Scripture is not a goddess..."

It's over! I can't think about it anymore. I have blasphemed the goddess!

After living in the north, Duke Feng was no longer so devout in his belief in the goddess.

But there are many things in this world that prove that God is indeed paying attention to this world.

Not believing in the goddess is one thing, but denying her ideas in front of her is another thing!

Duke Feng felt as if he was covered in honey and dancing in front of a hungry griffin.

"Please forgive me, goddess! I deserve to die!"

Maria felt very strange when she saw someone like Grand Duke Feng showing such fear on his face because of the gods.

When they were in the North, Li and Theresa dared to throw the holy book into the cesspool without batting an eyelid.

Compared with them, Duke Feng's awe of the goddess is worthy of praise.

"Well, the goddess won't blame us for such trivial matters, otherwise the human race would have perished long ago."

The saint who would explode on the spot when encountering similar scenes in the past can now just laugh it off.

Maria grabbed Archduke von by the sleeve and dragged him away to avoid him standing in the middle of the road and embarrassing himself.

Grand Duke Feng is a commander sent by the kingdom, and it would not be good for him to be seen in such an embarrassing state.

When Duke Feng mounted his horse, he still hadn't fully recovered from his shock.

He saw the saint riding a horse parallel to him and asked her about his doubts.

"Is the Saint Lady also going to leave the city?"

"Well, not only will I leave the city, I will also follow your team to take a look at the central part of the kingdom."

"This! Saint Lady, you are the symbol of the Holy Temple, it would be safer for you to stay in the capital..."

"Grand Duke Feng, the goddess does not need anyone to symbolize her, please just call me Maria~"

Grand Duke Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after Maria corrected his address.

Maria really didn't pursue the matter, which meant that his nonsense just now was forgiven by the goddess.

However, when he thought about Maria taking the Holy Scripture with him, Grand Duke Feng became nervous again.

The goddess's surveillance camera has been following me, this is really a cover-up.

"Ms. Maria, His Majesty the King needs you, and the people of the capital need you, so you should..."

Maria glared at Grand Duke Feng fiercely. She was a little annoyed by his nagging.

"Grand Duke Feng, the goddess wants to witness this war in person. You and I are her eyes!"

The holy book emitted a golden light, blocking Duke Feng's words of refusal.

Duke Feng cursed in his heart, wondering why he had to take on such a difficult task.

Wouldn’t it be nice to stay in the manor and live your retirement life? I’m so unlucky!
