As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 11
Advertisement
Sister Millie did not live in the Orthodox Church's St. Servant Cathedral.
Instead, she lived in a small monastery next to it.
There were three nuns there, and they were usually responsible for guiding the prayers and worshippers.
Monn held Little Alma with two big and fat salmon in his hands.
The pedestrians on the road showed surprised looks on their faces when they saw them!
It was mainly because the fish was too big!
The two fish would probably be as tall as Little Alma if they were standing up!
It was already past eight o'clock when the father and daughter arrived at the monastery.
Millie had just woken up and was fetching water from the well outside.
"Aunt Millie!"
Little Alma shouted and ran over excitedly when she saw Millie, who was in a nun's clothes!
"Little Alma!"
Millie was also surprised!
At that time, because Monn had no conditions and experience of taking care of Alma.
He left Alma with her to live.
Moreover, he gave her 15 pounds a week for food expenses!
There was no need for so much if it was only for Little Alma's food expenses!
The 15 pounds was enough for two months of food expenses if it was for an ordinary household!
The money was personal gratitude from Monn to Millie.
The cute and obedient Alma had Millie's favor that year!
Nuns could never get married and have children.
Therefore, for Millie, she almost regarded herself as the little girl's biological mother on the year she raised Alma!
That was the reason why Little Alma often missed Millie.
"Cardinal Monn!"
Millie held Little Alma in her arms and bowed slightly to Monn.
Although she was familiar with Monn, he was still a cardinal after all.
He was much higher than her in terms of rank!
Therefore, Millie was still cautious when facing Monn.

Monn approached the two of them, smiled, and waved his hand.
"I haven't gone to work yet. I'm just Alma's father now!"
"Millie, how are you?"
"Thank you, Cardinal Monn, for your concern. Recently, life in the monastery has been as peaceful as ever. Nothing has changed."
Millie smiled and replied.
"Well... I came here today to ask you to teach Alma how to stew fish soup!"
Monn raised the fish bucket in his hand and smiled embarrassedly.
"You know, I… don't know how to cook!"
Millie smiled kindly, then nodded and said gently.
"Of course, Cardinal Monn. Please pass me the fish!"
"I'll help you carry it in. These two fish are heavy!"
Monn carried the fish bucket into the monastery's kitchen and then placed the two big fish into a pool.
"Cardinal Monn, come over for lunch. This fish is so big. I can make a big meal for you and Alma!"
Millie said with a smile.
Monn nodded. He had tasted Millie's cooking before.
Although it was not the level of a chef, it was still much better than his cooking!
He chatted with Millie for a while in the monastery and accompanied Little Alma to play with the big white goose raised in the monastery.
It was almost nine o'clock.
"I'll leave Alma to you then. I'll come back at noon!"
"Alma, listen to Aunt Millie. Don't be mischievous!"
Monn walked out of the monastery and said goodbye to Millie with a smile. At the same time, he pretended to be stern and pointed at Alma's little head!
"Got it, naggy Father Monn!"
Little Alma hugged Millie's arm and replied with a pout!
Monn slowly walked in the direction of the cathedral after handing Alma to Millie.
He began his day's work.
Generally speaking, there were relatively few dark creatures that dared to wreak havoc near the Orthodox Church.

Therefore, what Monn needed to deal with every day were some routine matters.
Occasionally, he would encounter cases of dark creatures wreaking havoc.
Monn was used to handing them over to the archbishops, bishops, and so on.
Although he had just calculated the money for Little Alma Yesterday, the money for grammar school was not enough.
But, he still had to go to the monastery to have lunch with Alma at noon.
So Monn still did not go out to hunt dark creatures.
Anyway, there was no need to be in a hurry to make money!
Pope Andrew gathered the four cardinals under his command, as well as the deputy commander of the Holy Knights in the morning.
Currently, the three main churches of the Orthodox Church had stationed Holy Knights.
However, the commander of these three Holy Knights was not the commander, but the three deputy commanders!
The commander of the Holy Knights, who had the strength of a Holy Rank, followed the pope all year round, living in the temple thousands of miles away from St. Servant.
When all the cardinals and the deputy commander of the Holy Knights, Philip, arrived.
Pope Andrew announced two important news!
The first thing was that the day before, the body of a werewolf who was advancing to the Holy Rank was discovered more than 50 kilometers northeast of St. Servant, the capital of the Kingdom of Kate!
And the cause of this werewolf's death was another unknown expert who might have the strength of an Advanced Stage Holy Rank!
Andrew guessed that the werewolf clan had sent an expert who was about to advance to the Holy Rank to hide that near to the capital. They must have other motives.
Perhaps, the werewolf clan might make a big move against the Orthodox Church and the capital, St. Servant soon!
The second thing was that the pope's pilgrimage once every three years would be brought forward because of the werewolf matter.
He was expected to arrive at St. Servant's Cathedral within a week!
At that time, the Pope would test the strength of the bishops, archbishops, and cardinals under his command.
He would also review the work of the various bishops in the past three years!
Monn understood immediately.
Wasn't this similar to the chairman of the head office who would visit the various branches at the end of the year?
It was just a deterrence and a favor, even though it was said to be an inspection.
As for the first thing, it made Monn somewhat confused.
According to the pope, the "Mysterious Advanced Stage Holy Rank Expert " he mentioned.
Should be Monn.
But, what the hell was that werewolf that was advancing?
Monn didn't remember killing werewolves!
Suddenly, Monn remembered that after he threw the "Dimensional Slash" at the stone platform.
He seemed to have indeed heard a faint cry.
But at that time, he thought that the cry was far away, so he didn't care.
Now, it seemed that his "Dimensional Slash" had directly penetrated the stone platform.
And then, he killed a werewolf that was about to advance to the Holy Rank that was hiding under the stone platform?
The corner of Monn's mouth twitched a few times, and he silently mourned for that werewolf for three seconds in his heart.
That werewolf's luck was bad!
Monn cleared his throat and suddenly felt like asking.
If he stood out and said, "I killed that werewolf."
Would he be able to obtain a bounty on the dark creatures from the Orthodox Church and the Kingdom of Kate?
The cardinals, who lacked money, couldn't go through all these.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.
