As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 159
Chapter 159: Coming to The Village
The problem of Asher staying here was no more.
Finally, Monn was relieved.
After all, Monn couldn’t afford to continue feeding this gluttonous elf girl.
It was better to send her back to where she was from.
Walking out of the Holy Church.
Monn was ready to deal with the matter of the night feline monster that Jerome had mentioned.
But Monn looked behind him and felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.
He had clearly told them that only Ace and Monn were needed.
The two of them would only make the mission more difficult.
Despite what Monn said,
Heidi and Asher were still unwilling to stay behind at the church.
They insisted on following Monn to investigate.
The night feline monster was already very fast.
If something had happened, Monn did not know if he could protect the two vases in his hands.
At that moment, he heard a burst of exclamations behind him.
“Wow! This is so beautiful!”
Without even looking, he knew that Asher must have seen something that caught her eye.
As expected,
Asher’s eyes lit up as she looked straight at the garland on top of a stall.
The stall owner rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, “Miss, you really have good taste. This garland suits you really well!”
Upon hearing this, Asher nodded in agreement.
Seeing this scene, Ace rubbed her forehead.
Silly girl, she only said that to make you buy the garland!
You actually took it seriously?
Heidi looked at her with disdain and softly spat out, “Country bumpkin.”.
She felt a little embarrassed.
She then pretended not to know her and moved to the side.
Monn sighed and didn’t want to care about them.
He could only think about the village in the east.
Seeing this, Ace hurried to follow.
At the same time, she shouted, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll leave you!”
Hearing this, Heidi immediately turned her head.
She saw Monn walking toward the east without stopping.
Heidi didn’t care about Asher anymore and ran straight over.
Asher finally came back to her senses when she heard what Ace said.
She ignored the stall owner’s urging and immediately caught up with Monn and the others.
It wasn’t Asher’s fault for only looking and not buying.
It was because she didn’t have any money!
Even if the stall owner had made her stay, she didn’t have the money to pay him.
Asher ran all the way and caught up with Monn and the others.
After crossing the busy area, Monn arrived at an empty street.
Further in was a desolate village.
Monn frowned at the sight.
He found that the village was strangely quiet.
Asher also noticed this.
Her heart tightened, thinking that something else might have happened.
Just then,
Creak…
An old wooden door suddenly opened, making a sound that made one’s teeth ache.
Hearing this sound, Ace hurriedly pulled out her Holy Sword and got ready for battle.
Heidi and Asher knew that they were weak, so they both hid behind Monn.
Seeing this, Monn sighed helplessly.
He felt the heat of the two bodies hiding behind him.
This was the reason why Monn didn’t want to bring Heidi and Asher along.
Monn needed to be on guard against the sudden attack of the night feline monster.
But now, he also needed to protect these two burdensome girls.
Wasn’t this distracting?
Life wasn’t easy, Monn sighed.
But they were here, Monn had no other choice.
He could only brace himself to protect the two of them.
Just when the whole atmosphere was filled with tension,
Behind the door, an old man’s head popped out.
He looked around.
Then he saw a few people in the uniform of the Orthodox Church.
His cloudy eyes lit up.
They had opened a branch of the Orthodox Church in San Lorenzo,
And he knew about it,
The whole village had gone to see the ascension ceremony yesterday.
Who would have thought that the members of the Orthodox Church would come and settle the matters in their village today?
This was something that the old man had not expected.
After all, most people had just gone to work, and the rest basically had other matters to settle.
As the village chief, he had many matters waiting for him to settle.
So being the Pope of the Orthodox Church would definitely not be easy.
The leaders of the Orthodox Church were indeed very attentive. They even dispatched people to settle matters in their small village so quickly.
However, why did the two people standing in the middle look so familiar?
The village chief thought for a moment and recalled if he had seen Monn and Ace somewhere before.
The next moment, as if he had recalled something, the village chief’s eyes suddenly widened and his jaw dropped.
“You… Aren’t you Pope Monn?”
The village chief first spoke to Pope Monn, then turned to ace and said, “You are Her Highness, the Saintess!”
Recalling the identities of these two people, the village chief instantly became terrified.
Then, he hurriedly ran out of the room and said, “I’m truly disrespectful. I didn’t know that Pope Monn and Her Highness, the Saintess had come personally!”
The village chief touched the sweat on his forehead, feeling somewhat terrified.
He didn’t know why the Pope and Her Highness, the Saintess had come?
He didn’t know that what had happened in this village was related to a Holy Rank powerhouse.
After all, Jerome saw that night feline monster didn’t have any intention of hurting people.
He only said that it was a mischievous magical beast and that it was not a big deal.
That was why the village chief was a little puzzled. Why would the Pope and the Saintess come over because of such a small matter?
However, he did not vocalize his thoughts.
The village chief, who knew his place, understood that he only needed to cooperate with them in their work.
Monn saw him come out and asked, “Why doesn’t there seem to be anyone in this village?”
When the village chief heard Monn’s words, he wiped his sweat and said, “It’s because the soldiers guarding this place were injured last night. Everyone was a little scared, so they all hid in their homes and no one dared to come out.”
After hearing that, Monn and the others immediately understood.
The magical beast didn’t seem to want to hurt humans.
However, it scratching that soldier yesterday still left a shadow on the villagers.
It made them scared to go out again.
They hid at home even during the day.
After all, no one knew for sure that the magical beast would not hurt humans.
Now, twelve people were sure that it really only appeared at night.
And not during the day?
