"Necromancy?"

When she heard the news, Lilith did not hide her surprise, this was not the magic inherited by the righteous gods, but the magic exclusive to those evil gods.

The "resurrection" of the dead is undoubtedly an act of desecration of the corpse, which is not allowed by the major churches, let alone that such "resurrection" is only to allow the body to move.

"Well, it's probably in the brain area, but I can't fix it."

Joshua recounted the area where necromancy lurked, and with that clear goal in mind, Lilith quickly found the area.

"This is a corpse explosion technique, fortunately it was discovered in time."

Lilith let out a sigh of relief, fortunately she found it in time, otherwise if the old man's body suddenly exploded at the funeral, she didn't know how much damage would have been done.

"This magic hasn't been dormant for a long time, it should be a matter of these two days, and thanks to this, I can deal with it relatively easily."

Lilith chanted the incantation, and a pure white light shone out of her hand, and wisps of black smoke emanated from the old man's mouth and nose, and soon disappeared.

If it weren't for Joshua's earlier discovery, even if Lilith could dispel this necromantic magic, the old man would have died on the spot if he couldn't bear the burden.

"It's just these two days?"

Joshua's expression was gloomy, and if Lilith hadn't lied, it meant that there was a cultist lurking in the town of Black Mountain.

"I guess I want to frame you."

Lilith also reacted, for this small Black Mountain Town, it is not difficult to ask which old man is not in good health, and Joshua, as the only priest in Black Mountain Town, will definitely come to listen to the old man before he dies.

As long as you can make good use of this time period to release the corpse explosion technique in advance, then the corpse will explode immediately after Joshua listens to the confessional old man and closes his eyes.

Joshua, as the last person to be alone with the old man, will undoubtedly be pulled to the highest level of suspicion.

Now the enemy is dark and I am clear, even if the two understand each other's methods, but they can't prevent it in advance, even if Black Mountain Town is a small town, they can't defend it in the face of so many old people.

"Can you take me to the cemetery in Black Mountain?"

"Will there be a clue there?"

Joshua asked, but he still took Lilith with him, after all, Joshua was just a newcomer when it came to magic.

"Necromancy is not a magic that is traditionally used with the help of magical elements, it requires a large amount of death qi to activate, and death qi generally only appears on corpses and dying people, so there is a high probability that there will be clues there."

Lilith looked at Joshua and asked shamelessly, regaining some of her superiority as a senior.

That's right, no matter how talented Joshua is, he is only a beginner, and I still have an advantage in terms of knowledge.

It's a pity that Lilith's sense of superiority didn't last long.

["The reason why the stupid people are stupid is not because of their ignorance, but because of the narrowness of their vision, since the town of Montenegro is on the border of the empire, and there were constant wars a few decades ago, if it is about death, how can it be compared to a cemetery? ”】

War!

Lilith's smug expression froze for a moment, even though the last war had been thirty years ago.

It was a war between humans and orcs over a territorial dispute, and the orcs drove straight into the empire, but fortunately a heroic figure rose to fend off the danger.

Although the exact course of the war is not recorded by the Church, there is no doubt that the town of Montenegro, which fell as a frontier at the time, suffered heavy casualties.

The cemetery may not be able to accommodate even half of the dead.

This guy knows but doesn't tell me, wait for me to make a fool of myself, right?

Absolutely!

"Miss Lilith, what's wrong with you?"

Joshua looked at Lilith who suddenly stopped, and at the same time felt the other party's complaining gaze.

So...... Why do you look at me like a scumbag?

"Joshua, was the former town of Montenegro affected by the war?"

"War? I had forgotten that during the War of the Roses thirty years ago, the town of Montenegro was the first to be attacked due to its location, and most of the old people in the town did not want to talk about it, so I forgot about it. ”

Joshua felt that Lilith was worthy of being a saint, and that she remembered such a big event as war so clearly.

This guy is definitely laughing at me.

Lilith got Joshua's "compliment" and blushed instead, and for a while she had no place to vent her anger, so she could only kick Joshua's calf.

"If that's the case, then there are too many places to search, and there are some places where the bodies are buried that we don't know, and we still need to get the help of the lord here, just leave this matter to me."

Lilith left in a huff, much to the confusion of the second monk Joshua, but he decided to go to the cemetery anyway, and by the way, to see the old priest who had died.

Joshua's steps became heavy, and although there was no specific day to visit the grave in this world, Joshua would still keep the old priest's jealous diary in his heart and take care of it every year.

But time outside of this will not pass, after all, everyone has their own life, and it is not easy to raise a group of children.

Gradually, Joshua moved away from the crowd, and the closer he got to the cemetery, the fewer pedestrians became, and when the rows of tombstones appeared in Joshua's field of vision, he was left alone.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, are you surprised to see me at this time?"

Joshua found Father Andrew's tombstone and sat in front of it, as if the old priest was still alive in this world, and said something about the family.

With the recent arrival of the Holy Maiden Lilith, the Montenegrin weekly newspaper is also on the right track, and the orphanage is running well, Anna has become more and more irritable......

It's like a child who goes out to work and comes home to vent his bitterness to his father, who just listens silently, but the relationship between them is not father-son.

"Honestly, I actually hate you, I really hate you."

Joshua has not forgotten the events of more than ten years ago, when he was still very emaciated, he took Anna to the dilapidated church, where he hoped to take shelter for a while, but Father André planned to drive her away.

"What's the use of saving you, my short life has proven one thing, human beings have limits, and the more you want to save, the more desperate you become."

Father Andrew's words didn't sound to Joshua at all, but he didn't need to think about why the old priest said them.

He needed the old priest to take them in, so Joshua swore that night.

"Since you are tired, then I will go down for you, even if it is just a drop in the bucket, I will be a good person."

Although Joshua was a child at the time, he was an adult at heart, and he could see that the old priest was not unwilling to save people, but simply tired.

Father André may have saved many people before, but in the end he should have experienced some kind of blow and was disheartened.

"At that time, you should still want to save us, it was because I saw this that I made a vow, I was forced to survive and didn't swear sincerely, but since I swore I'll keep it, don't worry I'm going astray, old thing."

Joshua came to see the old priest this time, and the incident happened suddenly, otherwise he would not have returned empty-handed, but the frugal old priest would not have cared too much about this.

So, the next step is work......

[The cemetery is still deserted, no one answers Joshua's words, the summer cicadas begin to hiss, and the calm days make Joshua feel a little suspicious...... It's so quiet. 】

It's normal to be quiet, who has nothing to do in the cemetery.

Joshua looked around and made sure there was nothing to do with the rider or the black limousine before he ignited his original sin power.

The emotions that had surged in his body just now were refined into the power of original sin, and he once again opened the so-called sixth sense that he didn't know it was unaware.

As Joshua's gaze "looked", the remains that had been hidden underground were in full view, and continued to go deeper and deeper into the ground.

No?

Joshua was stunned, this result really surprised him.

According to Joshua's thinking, even though the cemetery is the easiest place to be found, it is not a place to give up.

Setting up some means here can completely have the effect of hiding people's ears, but now it seems that not only is he not aware of it, but even the fate text is not aware of it.

"Suspicious? What is the meaning of the Destiny text? Is it that the trap is not perceived, or that there is no trap where there should be. ”

With neither the Sixth Sense nor the Destiny text noticing anything unusual, Joshua can only admit that it is safe.

But if it's safe here, things start to get interesting.

"According to Lilith, although the Blood Church is a rat crossing the street, there is absolutely no shortage of manpower, so if you don't set any traps here, it means that the other party has limited manpower."

Joshua doesn't care how many miscellaneous fish there are, and the guards in the town don't eat dry food, but in terms of high-level combat power, it should still be the black-robed man, and even if there is foreign aid, there won't be too much.

If you don't set traps here to weaken the combat power of Black Mountain Town, it can only be because of the lack of manpower that makes it too late.

"I'm sorry, I'll talk to you about this time, this town still needs me to protect, after all, I will work hard to do what I promised you, as for whether I can succeed or not, I can only resign myself to fate."

Joshua said to the silent grave that if he were the unknown priest, he would not be blamed for such a thing, even if he ignored the old priest.

But now that he has the strength, even if he can't defeat evil, he should hold up a safe place for the people around him.

On the way back to the church, Joshua looked at the calm but peaceful people and things in Black Mountain, in fact, he had already understood that the protection was not because of the oath he once made, but because he now had strength.

If he has the power, he will protect it, and no one asks him to do it, but he does it if he wants to.

"The priest is back."

"The priest is back."

"The priest is back."

……

Joshua heard the children's welcome as he got closer, and at the same time saw Anna drying clothes on the side, the gradually hot wind pulling her hair, and a glance back saw Joshua's figure.

"Didn't Miss Lilith come back with you?"

"She has some business to attend to, and I stopped by to see Father Andrei, so I came back late."

Joshua helps Anna dry the children's clothes while keeping the necromancy a secret.

If he could, Joshua didn't want Anna to get involved in the fight with the cultists.

"But what about Doris? I didn't see her just now. ”

"She picked the flowers."

"Defloration?"

It's not that Joshua doesn't understand the meaning of "picking flowers", but Lilith once mentioned that Doris's vindictive cultivation is already at the level of a grandmaster, and she can be competent in commanding an army in the imperial army.

"Even if it's a grandmaster, it's a human being, people will die if they are killed, what's so strange about picking flowers."

Anna gave Joshua a blank look.

Whether it's vindictive spirit or magic, with the continuous advancement of apprenticeships, professions, elites, and grandmasters, humans can indeed gain inhuman power.

But even when he became a grandmaster and began to pay little attention to the number of weak people, his biological nature still did not fade.

They vomit when they drink too much, they hurt when they are beaten, they die if they can't breathe, and they can't live if their heads explode.

As for the legends above the grandmasters, they are called legends, not only because they can do the things of legends, but also because they themselves are beginning to detach themselves from biological symbols.

The head can be recast if it explodes, and the body destroys the soul host object to continue to survive, which is something that only a legendary-level powerhouse can do.

"Is that so? But Anna, do you also want to cultivate Dou Qi? ”

Joshua was a little puzzled, although Anna was a little irritable, but she had never understood such a thing as vindictiveness.

"These days, I see that you and Doris are often tired of being together, so I went over there to check it, and by the way, I also wanted to see if I could cultivate Dou Qi."

I don't know if it's because Anna has a sense of alienation after Joshua became a god, or if she is in a girl's other feelings, but she has indeed gotten closer to Doris recently.

As for not learning magic, it's probably because this girl just doesn't want to read.

"Joshua, has it become dangerous lately?"

“……”

Joshua's sudden question silenced Joshua, who would hide some information but didn't want to lie to Anna, and not answering was an answer.

"Promise me that no matter what happens, you will protect yourself first, okay?"

"Hmm."

Joshua agreed, and in the distance Lilith approached with an unusually "rounded" nobleman, followed by a group of knights in full gear.

"Anna, I'll get out of here for a while, and I'll be back later."

Looking at those burly knights, Anna's heart also relaxed a little, so she didn't stop Joshua, but just told her to be careful.

Back in the church, Anna knelt before the idol of the goddess and prayed:

"O dear goddess of light, have mercy on your devotee and give him the power to dispel evil."
