As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 186

The outskirts of the Elf Forest.
Or rather, it could no longer be called the outskirts of the Elf Forest.
Because in the place where they were, almost all the trees had been wiped out by Monn.
There was no jungle.
Only bare land.
It looked very shabby.
He felt the complicated look in Jerome's eyes.
Monn felt a chill in his heart.
It felt like Jerome was looking at his brother-in-law?
Monn was a little confused.
But Monn usually didn't think about things that he didn't understand.
In front of absolute power, Monn wasn't afraid of anything.
He looked at Sylvia from the corner of his eyes,
His gaze was inexplicable.
Behind Monn.
Sylvia lowered her head.
She looked down.
Just now.
Sylvia had witnessed the fall of all her clansmen.
But she didn't stop them.
On one hand, she didn't have the ability to stop Monn.
On the other hand, she didn't want to stop Monn.
She knew in her heart,
The darkness who wore the outer shell of the night feline monsters were no longer her clansmen.
Instead, the darkness invaded her home and invaded her clansmen.
She clenched her fists and put them down weakly.
For the night feline monsters clan, this was probably the best possible outcome.
At least they weren't driven by the darkness anymore.
They didn't become the villains who brought disaster to the continent.
This was the most comforting thing for the night feline monster clan in the northwest.
It was also the only thing that made Sylvia make peace with the deaths of her clansmen.
There was no other way.
She even thanked Monn for freeing her clansmen.
Otherwise, she would also face the pursuit of her clansmen.
She would have lived a horrible life.
Sylvia lowered her head and thought carefully.

A huge weight had finally been lifted from her heart.
Although Monn had completely destroyed the bodies of her clansmen,
Monn was also the night feline monster clan's savior.
He had even helped them take revenge,
Because the darkness that controlled the night feline monster clan had also been wiped out by Monn.
This was undeniable.
At the same time, she marveled at Monn's strength.
Her heart was also palpitating.
If Monn had used this trick to capture her that day...
She would not be here anymore.
After thinking it through, Sylvia raised her head and looked at Monn with gratitude in her eyes.
Her heart was even more determined to work for Monn.
Because she had nowhere else to go.
Even if she ran away, where could she go?
It would be nothing more than a life of killing magical beasts in the forest, eating magical beasts and drinking magical blood.
That kind of savage life was not what she wanted.
She might as well work at Monn's place.
She had three meals a day and a stable place to sleep.
It was not like she was living alone in the open.
She felt lonely.
She lived alone without her pack.
It drove her crazy.
She didn't want to live like that anymore.
Being with Monn was the best thing for her.
So she was grateful.
He gave her a place to live.
Monn didn't know what Sylvia was thinking,
But he clearly sensed that the frustration in Sylvia had disappeared.
He didn't know why,
But the change was always good.
So he didn't have to worry about losing a free labor force.
So he didn't have to clean up after himself.
Monn was relieved.
He was finally able to slack off.
If Sylvia knew what Monn's plan was,
She wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This wasn't what she thought.
She thought he was doing it for her own good.
But in the end, it was just to get a free labor force.
This would definitely make Sylvia confused.
Of course, Sylvia did not know.
She was still grateful to Monn.
She imagined her life from now onwards.
Her gaze returned to the bare Elf Forest.
It was said to be bare.
In fact, only fifty meters in front of Monn became an empty space.
The entire Elf Forest was still very large.
Even if she flew into the sky, she would still not see the end of it.
After handing the Holy Grail to Jerome.
Monn said, "Many thanks to the royal family for the Holy Grail."
Jerome was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Of course. When the time comes, I will have to do something to thank you."
To be honest.
It was their kingdom's responsibility to eliminate the threat to San Lorenzo in the Elf Forest,
But their kingdom didn't have many talents.
That was the why they wanted Monn in their kingdom.
But it couldn't be helped.
The Kingdom of Kate was complementary to the Orthodox Church in the first place.
They couldn't do without one.
Even the entire Orthodox Church had people who overpowered the Kingdom of Kate in the past few years.
That was the reason why the King invited Pope Monn to join his kingdom.
On one hand, he didn't want the Orthodox Church to continue to grow,
On the other hand, his kingdom really needed a high-end combat force.
The Orthodox Church's emperor was a True God.
However, the highest level in the kingdom was only of peak Holy Rank.
Moreover, he was already very old.
He would probably be buried in the ground in a few years.
As for the Pope of the Orthodox Church, although he was not young, he was still a young man in terms of the usual age of a True God Holy Ranker
This made His Majesty, the King of the Kingdom of Kate very anxious.
Once the Orthodox Church became too strong,
The Kingdom of Kate would definitely be suppressed.
When that time came, the Kingdom of Kate would no longer mean anything to the people.
This was not what the King of the Kingdom of Kate wanted to see happen,
That was why he was so attentive to Pope Monn.
On the one hand, it was to win over Monn.
On the other hand, it was also to plan ahead.
Judging from Monn's momentum,
Once the current Pope of the Orthodox Church ascended,
The person most likely to succeed to the papacy was Munn, who would definitely reach the peak of True God Holy Ranking in the future.
The Orthodox Church would definitely hand over the papacy to Monn.
In short, no matter what the two possibilities were, the King would not lose out.
This was exactly what His Majesty, the King had planned.
And, almost all the aristocratic families were planning this.
Otherwise, why would there be so many nobles coming over to give gifts during the inauguration ceremony of just one Pope?
Jerome was disdainful of those who wanted to curry favor with Monn.
Did they think Monn would care about their little gifts?
Jerome smiled disdainfully.

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.

Dhanurana
Out of an unnaturally quiet night, a bedraggled woman in noble finery requests access to the southern capital. Who she is has been lost to time for most, but her continued existence will throw everything further out of balance. Janurana had barely survived her royal house's destruction at the hands of foreign invaders, surviving day by day in the scattered pocket forests and arid shrub lands, constantly escaping the ghosts of her past. The south has barely survived their recent Pyrrhic victory against the north immediately followed by a coup. The north is bloodied but unbowed, on the brink of civil war, but still ready to take up arms against the southern invaders. The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle. And Janurana is just that. Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life. *** Set in a fantasized bronze age India featuring LGBT female leads. Told in an omniscient pov with glances into multiple characters. This is my first book even if I've been working on it for a while but I hope you can all still find some enjoyment and take a break from everything happening in the world. Remember to work on your dreams. :)
