As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 148
Advertisement
Just as Monn and the others were passing through this forest, a cry for help suddenly came from within the Elf Forest.
It made Monn and the others subconsciously stop in their tracks.
Then they looked towards the Elf Forest.
At this moment, the cry for help was getting closer and closer.
Along with it were some wanton laughter.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
A shadow suddenly appeared in the eyes of Monn and the others.
It was a girl who looked like she had walked out of a painting.
She had a slender body and was dressed in emerald green clothes.
Her waist-length golden hair seemed to glow with a golden glow under the sun.
And under her dense hair, two long pointy ears hung with a few strands of long hair on them.
At a closer look, a delicate face with panic appeared in front of Monn's eyes.
This face, which was not much different from his previous life, instantly reminded Monn of a name.
Elf!
But this elf seemed to be in some kind of danger.
She ran out of the jungle and saw humans, who made her a little dizzy, standing in front of her.
Her small face suddenly turned pale.
She wondered if she had entered some human's territory.
Why were there humans everywhere?
Please, she just wanted to take a look from afar!
Why did such a dangerous thing happen!
The footsteps and laughter behind her made her feel despair.
She did not know what to do, but she suddenly felt that the humans in front of her were different.
That was the Orthodox Church's Cardinal of the human city, right?
She blinked her big emerald-like eyes.
Looking at Monn's red clothes, she had some impression of it.
She seemed to have seen it in the records of the elves.

Mother said that although humans were cunning fellows, there were good people among them.
She also told her that should she accidentally meet with an accident one day, and she really had no other way out, she could try to ask the members of the Orthodox Church for help.
Although it was also possible that she could meet bad people, the probability was relatively small.
Thinking of her mother's words, a strong light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
That was the color of hope.
She gritted her silver teeth and quickly rushed in the direction of Monn.
They saw the girl running towards them, but they didn't think there would be any danger.
However, as Holy Knights, they still raised the holy spears in their hands.
They aimed straight at the elf girl.
A murderous aura rushed towards her.
It made her face pale.
However, she still continued rushing over.
At this moment, a few men in mercenary uniforms with weapons in their hands rushed out from the Elf Forest.
When they rushed out, they saw the back of the elf girl who was not too far away from them.
They were instantly delighted.
They had originally come here to try their luck, but they did not expect to meet an elf girl.
This made them ecstatic.
As long as they caught her and sold her to a famous nobleman in the city, they estimated that they would be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
For the sake of their future rich life, they decided to do this directly.
Who knew that this girl could run so fast? They had chased her for a long time.
It was just that she was not very smart.
She actually ran to a place that was opposite to where the elves were.
This made them even happier.

Just when they wanted to continue the chase, a strong murderous aura was suddenly directed towards them.
It stunned them on the spot.
Only then did they realize that countless people had appeared in front of them.
From the looks of it, they looked like the Kingdom's army.
This made them feel a little terrified.
At this moment, the elf girl finally ran to Monn's side.
Her eyes were sharp, and she could tell at a glance that Monn was the leader of this group of people.
She ran in front of Monn, and she panted heavily from all the running.
Her face was covered with a layer of fine sweat.
She placed her hands on her knees and panted as she said, "This... Cardinal Lord, can you... can you save me! Those bulky people are trying to catch me and sell me to the human nobles!"
The elf girl knew the consequences of being captured by the humans.
She looked up at Monn, her eyes filled with hope.
They heard the elf girl talking to those people.
The faces of the people who chased after her were instantly covered in a cold sweat.
Especially when they heard the elf girl address that person.
Cardinal Lord!
These words instantly made them think of the Only True God Sect in their Kate Kingdom.
The Orthodox Church!
These three words appeared in their hearts.
They instantly started trembling.
Although they currently didn't have a church of the Orthodox Church in San Lorenzo, they were still very familiar with the rules of the Orthodox Church.
Thinking of their own actions and the words of the elf girl, they instantly became afraid.
"Cardinal... Cardinal Lord..."
One of the people who looked like the leader suddenly spoke.
However, he was hesitant.
Nevertheless, he still struggled, he wanted to say something to explain.
However, Monn only glanced at them indifferently.
He ignored their words.
He waved his hand and said, "Capture them."
"Yes!"
As soon as Monn's voice faded, a few Holy Knights stepped out.
They slowly approached them.
The mercenaries looked at the approaching Holy Knights and their faces instantly turned pale.
One of them hurriedly tugged at their leader's sleeve and said nervously, "Boss, what should we do!"
The person who was addressed as "Boss" also had a ghastly expression on his face.
However, he looked at the endless number of Holy Knights.
Gritting his teeth, he could only lower his head in the end and say, "Obediently accept your fate! If we are little more obedient, perhaps nothing would happen."
It was different from what everyone had expected.
Their boss actually did not tell them to run away.
This was something that they could not understand.
And their boss had long since seen through their doubts. He said resentfully, "There are so many Holy Knights, do you think you can get away with it? You might as well be a little more obedient. Perhaps you can even be given a lighter sentence!"
The few of them instantly understood.
At the same time, they were impressed.
The boss was indeed the boss.
He thought of everything!
In their hearts, they had no intention of resisting at all.
The Holy Knights easily captured a few of them.
At the same time, the Holy Knights were satisfied with those who were sensible.
The elf girl also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.
At the same time, she was very grateful to Monn.
Her mother was right.
The Kingdom's Orthodox Church could be trusted!
They were the good people of mankind!

Tales of the Implock - A LitRPG Monster Evolution Story
Nyx - A demon, weak and small, too fleeting of a creature to survive the infernal wastes in which he was born - but after multiple brushes with death, the otherwise inconsequential demon experiences a destiny-changing encounter with an unknown and eccentric god, foreign to this world. Cast from the domains of old and conspiring gods to a land of which is sheltered from the divine, beyond the reach of whence they scheme, the impling who soon would come to be known far and wide as Nyx will find a new purpose. Born of Pride, with the fires of ambition fanned and burning deep within, Nyx will grow, learn, and evolve. From a weak and pathetic impling, to that of a mighty arch demon of untold demonic power, nothing would stand in the way of his ascent. Yet, the yearn of power might not be the only thing the power-manic demon will come to desire as he will encounter others who might just matter as much to him as the ecstasy of power does. [Info]This story features a wide breadth of characters with unconventional views, morals, and actions. There is no black and white - there is only grey. In a world where strength rules, notions of good and evil blur. The protagonist of this story is not a hero. He is not human. He is a megalomaniac demon trying to find his place in the world of which he has been discarded. This novel is my first crack at making something serious, a piece of work I can be proud of. It is a part of a bigger universe that I am creating, The Aethos, and I fully intend for this story to be professionally edited, then self-published on Amazon. The novel will continue on for a long adventure, as each arc will be made into a proper book. Therefore I heavily encourage feedback and interaction. Anything to improve my story and my writing is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and welcome to the Aethos. [Schedule] - Five chapters a week. [Discord] - Here
