The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 382 Holy Water and the Devil

Under the royal capital, there is a complex underground passage, one of which leads directly to the interior of the temple.

Vampire Chief Vlad, who changed into a new skin again, quietly came to the temple to get in touch with the fallen ones among them.

The priest who met with Vlad seemed very nervous. He was always suspicious and even the birds in the sky would scare him.

"Vlad! You are crazy! Don't you see what day it is?"

On the day when bishop-level figures gathered in the cathedral, Vlad actually dared to run into the cathedral!

If Vlad were discovered, the priest who was there to pick him up would be in big trouble!

"I'm wearing a priest's robe. No one will pay attention to a little deacon like me."

The priest robe Vlad was wearing was genuine, and the sacred runes engraved on it continuously released holy light.

These holy lights would cause Vlad's body to feel continuous pain. Every time he endured it for a while, Vlad would scratch his back with his backhand.

"Today is the day to select the Archbishop. We, the vampire clan, have invested a lot in the Archbishop. I hope our investment will pay off!"

The bishop that Vlad supported was the one who presided over the meeting.

According to the original plan, this bishop has the greatest probability of ascending to a high position, and after he ascends to the position, the vampire clan will be able to obtain the most help.

"The plan didn't work. The king came over unexpectedly. Now the atmosphere in the conference hall is very tense!"

The priest who was in contact with Vlad wanted to interrupt the conversation immediately.

There were many outsiders in the temple today, and the weak-willed clergy did not want to meet with Vlad at all.

"Wait! You said the king? What is the king doing in the temple?!"

When it comes to the king, Vlad becomes extremely angry.

Vlad was originally a progressive vampire. When he was young, he dreamed of uniting with humans to improve the status of the vampire clan.

But what about the result!

The damn human royal family has always treated vampires as outsiders. For hundreds of years, humans have only given vampires strange looks and the name of damn monsters!

Vlad was completely disappointed with humans, so he joined the primitive faction and devoted himself to destroying the human kingdom and making vampires the masters of this land.

"The king is running for archbishop. No, according to the king, he wants to be pope!"

"pope?"

The position of Pope has never appeared in the history of the Temple. Vlad couldn't understand why the king wanted to personally get involved in this matter.

Wouldn't it be nice to pick an agent and have an agent competition like we did before?

The king himself running for the highest office in the temple sounds like a hippopotamus seeking to be the leader of a herd of rhinos.

Vlad felt very uncomfortable. The election was originally a sure win, but now the king became an exception.

Vlad wanted to run to the conference hall to see what was going on there, but in the end he resisted the urge to reveal his thoughts.

"I really don't know what the king is thinking... Tsk, forget about what's going on at the venue. Is the holy water I want ready?"

Vlad did not insist on running for archbishop, which relieved the clergy.

"Of course, the holy water you requested has been prepared long ago!"

The clergy couldn't understand why Vlad, a vampire, needed so much holy water.

Fortunately, a small matter like preparing holy water would not attract the attention of others.

The priest led Vlad to the holy water reserve warehouse of the temple. The gatekeeper had already greeted them, and the two of them walked in with swagger.

The exorcism holy water produced by the temple would be sold for several gold coins in the outside world for just the size of a perfume bottle.

There was so much holy water in the storehouse that it had to be stored in large jars.

The floor of the storeroom was wet; the clergy were clearly not taking good care of the holy water when using it.

Vlad didn't care about the priest's attitude towards the holy water, but the ground wetted by the holy water made Vlad's soles suffer a lot.

"These damn cloth shoes!"

The soles of his cloth shoes were soaked with holy water, and Vlad felt so painful that he wanted to cut off his feet right there.

The priest glanced at Vlad's smoking soles and made a subtle suggestion.

"You can actually wear rubber-soled shoes made in the North. Those shoes are waterproof."

"…Aren't clergy supposed to wear uniforms? I even changed into a pair of cloth shoes when I came here."

"The clergy do have a dress code, but the shoes are basically hidden under the robes, and no one is so strict about it now."

Vlad typed out a curse word in his mind.

What the hell? Is it that this disguised vampire is even stricter with himself than a real clergyman?

The sanctuary is awful!

Vlad was somewhat suspicious that after a few years, the people in the temple would even forget their signature magic.

By that time, there will be no need for any more conspiracies or intrigues, as humans will have perished on their own!

"I always feel like my wisdom and efforts are just wasting time..."

Vlad confirmed that the holy water in the warehouse was authentic, which was the only good news today.

Vlad grabbed the flatbed cart in the corner, loaded two large jars of holy water, and slowly left the warehouse.

"Go back and keep an eye on the venue. I'm also going to transport the holy water back."

Vlad sent away the priest with whom he had a secret deal, and entered the secret passage carrying the heavy holy water.

Holy water cannot be transported using magic, and Vlad, the pampered vampire, was almost crushed by the heavy vat.

Fortunately, there were his men in the secret passage to help him, otherwise Vlad would have a real headache about how to transport the holy water back.

Vlad twisted his protruding disc and asked his men.

"How's that demon?"

"Chief, the demon hates narrow and dark environments. It keeps crashing into the cage that holds it, and even ate a member of the tribe who came too close!"

"Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from that thing?"

The little vampire who was blamed by Vlad lowered his head and endured the criticism from the patriarch.

Vlad saw that they were in low spirits and offered comfort.

"Well, there is only one step left for our plan. In a few days, we vampires will no longer have to hide. We will truly live in the sunshine with peace of mind, and no one will look down on us anymore!"

Vlad's words inspired the vampires' fighting spirit.

Everyone was shouting slogans and pulling the big vat filled with holy water with great force.

Vlad followed the team into the depths of the secret passage, where he found a cage made of rare metals embedded at the end of the passage.

In the dark and lightless environment, there were a pair of dark red lights flickering in the cage.

Vlad activated his dark vision and clearly saw the demon's dark eyes staring at him.

"Hate it! Hate it! Demons, don't you want to destroy everything? Your chance is coming soon!"

Vlad's excitement was palpable when he saw the caged demon.

The demon in the cage didn't react at all, just stared at Vlad silently.

Vlad felt a little bored when he saw that the demon didn't respond to him.

Vlad took the broken bowl handed to him by his men and scooped a bowl of holy water from the large vat.

The holy water dripping down the edge of the bowl burned Vlad's arms so much that they trembled. Vlad held the bowl tightly in his hand, took a step forward and handed the holy water to the cage.

The demon, who had been watching Vlad calmly, saw Vlad reaching his hand into the dangerous area, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit off Vlad's arm.

"what!"

"what!"

The next moment, two screams were heard in the deep secret passage.
