As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 65
Advertisement
The next morning.
The sun rose with the morning dew.
Monn pushed the door open, stretched, and breathed in the fresh air.
Then he saw Saintess Ace, who had been eating and living here again last night.
He did the math in silence.
Because of the extra mouth, their recent food consumption had increased by nearly 20 shillings.
This result made his heart ache for a moment.
The good mood he had in the morning disappeared in an instant.
It just so happened that this shameless woman walked over, looking refreshed.
She smiled and greeted Monn.
Monn was so angry that steam almost came out of his nose.
He snorted twice and turned away from her.
Ace was a little confused.
She asked without thinking, "What did I do to offend him?"
She didn't think that she had offended Monn.
It seemed that it was not her problem.
Ace was relieved.
She also got breakfast.
Monn brought Ace to work in a bad mood.
In the Holy Church.
Andrew looked helpless when he saw the two of them arrive 'on time'.
He put down the file in his hand and said, "You guys are really 'punctual.'"
Ace smiled sheepishly.
Monn was very calm when he arrived. He even said, "It's the basic rule for employees to arrive at the workplace within the stipulated working hours."
Andrew: "..."
Was that what I wanted to say?
Even Ace was speechless.
So, Andrew decided to let it go and said instead, "We have a lead on the holy artifact from yesterday."
"Oh,"said Monn, indicating that he was not interested.
On the other hand, Ace looked like she was listening to a story. She looked at Andrew expectantly.
Andrew touched his beard and continued, "In the records of the Holy Church, the black fog often represents death, and when people talk about death, they can't help but think of the wings of death."
"So, this holy artifact called the Dark Holy Grail was made from the bones and skin that the wings of death retreated in order to break through to a true God level."

Wings of Death?
It was another new species that he had never come into contact with before.
Munn thought.
"Wings of Death?"
Ace asked Monn's question. She also did not understand this magic beast called Wings of Death.
Andrew cleared his throat, he explained, "The Wings of Death is the overlord-level magic beast at the center of the mountain range of magic beasts. It became a true God five hundred years ago. Although it has not been seen for hundreds of years, no one has dared to enter the center of the mountain range of magic beasts until now."
"There isn't a single piece of flesh on its body. Its entire body is made up of giant bones."
"Every time it flaps its wings, it will bring about a land of death."
"The black fog that will definitely bring about the aura of death when it appears."
After Andrew's detailed introduction, Monn and Ace could be considered to have a basic understanding of this death wing.
But they didn't have much feeling.
After all, it was a magical beast from five hundred years ago, which was still very far away from them.
Andrew introduced some knowledge and then began to talk about serious matters. "Yesterday, through the holy weapon, the crops in the city have also returned to normal."
After briefly explaining the changes in the city, Andrew looked at Ace. "I also thank her highness the Saintess for her help at Saint Servant."
"It was my duty."
Ace once again reverted to her holy appearance when they first met on the day she came to Saint Servant.
Then, Ace seemed to have thought of something, and her eyelids drooped.
Her mood also sank.
"Since the issue of Saint Servant has been resolved, then I have to return to the King's City to report to his Holiness the Pope."
Speaking of this, she grew a little sad, and she secretly glanced at Monn from the corner of her eyes.
When he heard that Ace was leaving, Monn did not have much of a reaction. He even felt glad that the freeloader is finally leaving.

As for if he'd miss her, it would only take a second for Monn to go to the King's city with his ability. What was there to miss if he could meet her anytime?
Ace, however, did not think of that.
Seeing that Munn did not have any reaction at all.
She could not help but feel a little depressed and upset.
Seems like she didn't freeload enough.
She'd have to up her game next time!
Ace thought to herself angrily.
Andrew looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed in his heart.
He coughed to attract their attention.
"Since Saintess Ace wants to return to the King's City, why don't you bring Cardinal Monn along?"
Hearing this, the two of them blinked.
I'm going to the King's City?
Monn is going to the king's City? !
"Cough, the werewolf army has already gathered. We, the Orthodox Church, need to discuss war preparations with the kingdom. As a pope, it's inconvenient for me to leave Saint Servant, so I can only hand it over to Cardinal Monn."
Andrew explained.
Despite having some doubts at the beginning, Monn did not refuse. Since it was a job, he would accept it. Of course, it had to be during working hours.
Moreover, with the space walk, he could return home in time no matter where he went, so it did not matter.
Monn nodded. "No problem."
Ace's eyes lit up immediately.
Her previous emotions also disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly said, "Then let's pack up and leave now."
So urgent?
Andrew was puzzled.
But seeing Ace's expression, Andrew could see what she was thinking.
He couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, he thought of his past self.
After leaving the Holy Church, Monn looked at the sky.
He said, "Let's go."
Ace was stunned. "Where are we going?"
Monn was puzzled. "The capital."
"AH..." Ace came to a realization and asked curiously, "Don't you need to pack your things?"
A question mark slowly rose above Monn's head.
He felt that Ace didn't have a brain.
Speechless, he raised his hand, and a pure white crystal quietly floated in the air.
Ace was stunned again.
She thought of the time when Monn brought her on his space walk.
She suddenly came to a realization.
Monn didn't need to bring anything at all.
He could just go home if he needed something.
Ace was a little envious.
At the same time, her eyes lit up, and she licked her lips and said happily, "Then can I go to your house to freeload tonight... I mean to eat?"
For some reason, she felt that the food prepared by Monn was much better than the food prepared by the imperial chefs of the capital.
If Elma heard this, she would definitely think that there was something wrong with Ace's taste buds.
When Monn heard Ace's words, his face instantly darkened.
They had already gone to the capital, yet she was still thinking about the food at his house.
This woman really had a vicious heart!
Did she want to eat till they're poor?
But Ace's words also reminded him.
After being freeloaded for so long, he decided not to go home this time after going to King's City.
Every night, he would bring Elma over over and freeload at Ace's, for all that she's put him through
You still want to continue freeloading?
I'll eat you up!
The Saintess should be quite rich, right.
Monn nodded.
Just like that, two people each with their plans walked out of St. Servant and headed for King's City.
Because there were no coordinates for the King's City, Monn had to walk there for the first time.
