As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 49
Advertisement
Saint-Servant, the Holy Church.
Andrew stood under the golden statue with his hands on his chest, eyes closed and his expression devout.
He prayed every night as routine.
Suddenly, an archbishop ran in in panic.
He shouted at the same time, "Not good, your Holiness! The entire Monster Forest is suddenly covered by a group of bats, I'm afraid a vampire has descended! !"
Hearing the words 'vampire', Andrew, who was praying devoutly, instantly opened his eyes.
He immediately activated his own Holy Power to sense.
"This aura!" Andrew's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "It's that crazy woman, Miranda!"
After learning about the owner of the aura, Andrew immediately activated his Holy Power and flew towards the direction of the Monster Forest.
Monn and Lucius might not be able to block it!
Andrew was secretly anxious!
He wanted to fly to the Monster Forest immediately.
Suddenly, Andrew, who was flying, paused for a moment and stopped in the air.
His expression gradually became strange.
In his perception, Monn's aura suddenly rose, and then, Miranda's aura instantly disappeared completely.
It was as if it was erased by something.
Andrew stood where he was and carefully sensed for a while.
In the next moment, Andrew's expression became even stranger.
"This Munn, why did he suddenly come to the city?"
Andrew was puzzled and began to fly in the direction where Munn's aura had appeared.
Saint Selvan, market.
When Andrew arrived near Monn.
He saw him standing in front of a vegetable stall with a few green vegetables in his hands, arguing with the stall owner.
"Boss, the price is not right. Yesterday it was five shillings. Why Is it ten shillings today?"
Monn stared at the owner with an unfriendly expression, as if he was punishing the illegal shop owner.
The stall owner smiled bitterly, "Cardinal, I didn't want it either."

"A few days ago, I don't know why, but almost all the crops have rotted by seventy percent."
"The grain supply is almost insufficient now."
"The market demand can't keep up, so the price will naturally rise."
The stall owner explained.
Hearing this, Monn reluctantly handed over ten shillings.
Beside him, Andrew saw Monn's expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Monn looked over hearing the laughter. When he saw Andrew, he said calmly, "Long time no see, Pope Andrew."
Andrew coughed lightly, "Long time no see, Cardinal Monn."
After greeting him, Monn turned around and was about to leave.
Andrew hurriedly stopped Monn, "Cardinal Monn, can you tell me what exactly happened in the Monster Forest?"
Monn glanced at Andrew and said calmly, "Yes."
Andrew nodded and his expression became serious.
Then, he heard Monn say, "I will go to the conference room to report in detail about the related matters in the Monster Forest after I go to work tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Pope Andrew."
After Monn bowed, he carried a handful of vegetables and walked past Andrew, heading straight home.
Andrew was stunned, not knowing what expression to make.
...
The next day.
Lucius also brought the Knights back to Saint-Servant.
He settled the Knights and then went to the Holy Church and explained the specific situation yesterday to Andrew.
After listening to the whole process, Andrew was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
Although he thought that Monn's strength was not simple, he did not expect that Monn actually had a divine level Spell that could not be mastered by at Saint level.
Moreover, from Lucius'description, that slash that could tear space apart could not help but remind him of the strange saint level aura that had suddenly appeared in the Suva Mountain Range.
At this moment, Andrew was very sure that the strange saint level before was definitely Monn.

Thinking of the stone platform and the corpse of the saint level Werewolves, Andrew felt that it was not strange that Monn killed the Vampire Count Miranda in an instant.
Although Andrew suddenly felt relieved, the others still could not believe it.
The usual unremarkable Monn was actually a hidden big shot?
This made them unable to accept it for a moment.
Everyone was clearly Cardinals, why were you so outstanding?
At nine o'clock in the morning, Monn arrived at the Holy Church on time.
As soon as he arrived, Monn noticed that something was wrong with the Holy Church today.
Why did everyone look at him strangely?
Although Monn was puzzled, he did not think too much about it.
He still had to go to the meeting room to report on his work.
When he arrived at the meeting room, Monn became felt even more strange.
The cardinals, who usually ignored him, greeted him one after another, with flattering smiles on their faces that could be seen at a glance by a discerning person.
Feinar stood in a corner and tried his best not to look at Monn, afraid of being noticed.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for being too impulsive back then! How could meng en be the kind of person who doesn't do anything!"
Feinar was regretful in his heart. The most important thing was why no one had told him about Meng en being so strong?
Andrew saw the cautious crowd after Meng en arrived and smiled silently.
"Monn, everyone knows about your achievements. I believe that the Pope will be very pleased when he knows about it. Maybe you'll get a promotion in your position."
Monn replied with an 'oh'and asked, "Is there a bonus?"
Andrew was suddenly choked by Monn's words. He did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "I can try to apply to the Pope."
Monn nodded. It was fine as long as there was a bonus. If there was a salary increase for the position, he could consider it.
While discussions went on about Monn's strength at the Holy Church.
West of the continent, the Vampire Territory.
Prince Robert's residence.
The cold, shriveled corpse of a female human was suddenly thrown out.
In the study, Robert was dressed in a black and red noble's gown. He held a crystal goblet in his hand.
Fresh and rich blood was shaking.
On the table was a wooden bucket filled with freshly extracted human blood.
Robert tasted the blood and closed his eyes to enjoy it for a while. He asked, "Is Miranda still not back yet?"
Beside him, the vampire maid lowered her head and said respectfully, "Not yet, Your Highness."
At this moment, a bat covered in blood flew in from outside the window.
It landed on Robert's shoulder and let out a few soft cries.
In the next moment, Robert's calm and pale face instantly turned ferocious. The crystal cup in his hand was also thrown to the ground.
It turned into blood-stained shards.
"What a waste!" Robert roared.
Seeing that her Master was angry, the vampire maid hurriedly knelt on the ground with her entire body trembling.
The bat standing on Robert's shoulder suddenly let out a miserable cry. Then, out of nowhere, a faint black flame burned it until there was not even a residue left.
After calming down a little, Robert returned to his gentlemanly appearance and ordered, "Go and check on the more powerful Cardinal of the Zhengyi Sect."
The vampire maid knelt on the ground and replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

Duality of a Soul
In the land of magic and demons, knights and forgotten ancient technologies. What would you do if you were to wake up one day amidst all of this without your memories? Will you do everything you can to get them back to be who you were, or leave the past behind and begin anew? Follow along with our main character as he struggles to establish his new identity while the shadows of his past threaten to consume him. To be a detested hero or celebrated villain? Only time will tell. Author’s Note: Heavily influenced by fantasy goodness far and wide, I hope to make it somewhat original with a sense of familiarity to you. The overall story is pieced together through the perspective of the characters presented, first + third person narrative styles because I enjoy reading novels with similar storytelling. Please feel free to provide any comments and constructive criticisms for me because I love to read what you think so I can continue to improve on my imperfections and make the story better. Cheers!
