As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 197
Advertisement
The Elf Forest.
The Elven Queen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
She knew exactly what her foolish daughter wanted to say.
How dare she say that she was almost 700 years old?
Don't you know that women are always young?
She suppressed the anger in her heart.
The Elven Queen swore that after Pope Monn and the others left,
She would beat Asher in the ass!
Betty covered her mouth.
Asher whimpered.
Then she looked at her mother's face.
Suddenly she realized that she had said something wrong?
But there seemed to be no turning back?
What should she do?
Thinking of her miserable life ahead,
Asher suddenly fell silent.
Her Majesty, the Elven Queen no longer looked at her silly daughter.
On the battlefield.
The thick smell of blood mixed with the goblins' stench was extremely unpleasant.
The Elven Queen did not want to stay a second longer.
She decisively left the mountain giants and 300 elven huntress to clean up the battlefield, while she led Monn's group and the rest of the elven army back to the Elf Land.
When the army returned with great victory, the entire Elf Land was filled with excited cheers.
Groups of beautiful female elves surrounded the Elven Queen and looked at her with adoration. From time to time, they would burst out with beautiful praises.
In the elven race, the Elven Queen was the great ruler and had the faith of all elves.
As a result, Monn and the others were also warmly received by the elves.
...
In the elven conference hall.
Her Majesty, the Elven Queen sat on the main seat, while Monn sat beside her.
The group of people quietly waited for the report after cleaning up the battlefield.
Not long after.
Boxes and boxes of gold coins were carried to the hall by the elves.

"Your Majesty," said Eiffel respectfully, "These are the gold coins we obtained after cleaning up the battlefield, a total of 30,000! In this war, we killed 5,000 goblins, sacrificed 36 elves, and injured more than 200..."
After hearing Eiffel's report,
The Elven Queen said, "Eiffel, don't be sad! The sacrificed elves have returned to the arms of the Goddess. They will protect us in the Divine Kingdom!"
The tears at the corner of Eiffel's eyes gradually disappeared. She said firmly, "Your Majesty, you are right. Their will and belief are with the elves. Their souls will gain eternal life in the Divine Kingdom!"
Hearing their conversation, Monn was deep in thought.
Goddess?
The Goddess of the Elves?
Could it be the Goddess of Life?
This time, Monn seemed to have found the reason why the elves were all female.
Of course, this was only Monn's own guess.
This world was very big.
Although in the entire Selu continent,
Monn could be considered an expert,
In front of a true expert, he was still not knowledgeable enough.
Above the Advanced-Level Holy Rank, there was the Demi-God Level.
And after that, there was the True-God Level strength.
It was said that Monn's strength was already comparable to the strength of some ordinary Gods.
But right now, Monn was still stuck at the peak of the Advanced-Level Holy Rank.
He hadn't made any progress yet.
It wasn't far from the next month's card.
Hopefully, he would be able to obtain something good.
Monn was deep in thought.
But very quickly.
Monn's gaze was unconsciously attracted by a pile of golden colors.
Gold coins!
So many gold coins!
Monn's eyes lit up.
He knew that the elves had plundered the goblins after exterminating them.
The goblins were just too rich!

So many gold coins, how long would it take him to spend them all?
Monn couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The Elven Queen, who had been silently observing Munn, instantly noticed the change in Monn,
But she did not point it out.
As from the future that she saw...
Monn's greedy nature was very well understood by her.
The next moment, she heard Monn speak.
"Your Majesty, the Elven Queen, the goblins are actually wantonly drawing out the aura of darkness that comes from the Abyss. If we don't control it, I'm afraid that something unfavorable will happen to the Selu continent. I suggest that from today onwards, we, the Orthodox Church, and the elven race, establish an alliance to crusade against the goblins. What do you think?"
Monn's expression was serious, and his tone was very righteous.
But based on Ace's understanding of Monn,
Monn was definitely interested in the wealth of the goblins.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with thinking that,
Because Monn was indeed interested in the wealth of the gnomes.
But the main reason was because the goblins had summoned the aura of the Abyss to the continent.
Monn wasn't the kind of person who would destroy any race that had money.
It was just that the goblin class incident had given Monn a reason to seize their wealth.
For the Elven Queen who knew Monn's personality.
She had already guessed that this would happen.
Rather, it was the result of her deliberate guidance.
It was precisely because she knew how greedy Monn was,
That the Elven Queen had asked Eiffel to bring up the wealth of the goblins that she had collected on the battlefield.
The main goal was to let Monn see the coins.
This would help promote the alliance between the Orthodox Church and the elves.
It would also so that Monn would help them eliminate the goblins in the Elf Forest.
Once the goblins were destroyed, the entire Elf Forest would belong to them.
In the meeting room of the elves.
The Elven Queen and Monn discussed in detail about the alliance's crusade against the goblins.
When it was getting late,
Monn and the others finally walked out of the Elf Land.
Knowing that Monn had a 9-to-5 rule, the Elven Queen deliberately timed it well.
She didn't waste any of Monn's time.
She didn't even ask Monn to stay at night.
As the Queen was so familiar with Monn's formal rules, Ace look at Monn with resentment.
On the way home, Monn was puzzled why Ace was looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
Ace pouted. "And you said you don't know that Elven Queen!"
Monn felt a little strange. "I really don't know her."
"Then why does she know so much about you!"
Ace pointed in the direction of the Elf Land.
She looked very confused.
Monn shrugged. "I want to know too."
"Um..."
Seeing Monn's perfunctory attitude,
Ace almost burst into tears.
But Monn was helpless.
He really didn't know the Elven Queen.
It was more like the Elven Queen knew him.
Her familiarity with Monn's every move.
Made Monn feel afraid.
