As A Cardinal, I Don’t Do Overtime - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: You Should Be Glad That I Do Not Intend to Kill

They pushed aside the humans outside the city walls and headed towards the elven army in the distance.

The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, Miss Vivian, and the Grand Mage Joyce followed the Orthodox Church’s Holy Knight Army.

There was also some confusion in their expressions.

“Teacher Joyce, what do you think His Holiness Pontiff Monn is here for?”

“Definitely it can’t be war!”

Vivian looked at Teacher Joyce speechlessly.

Of course, she knew that it would not be war.

After all, the Orthodox Church was the divine church of the Kingdom of Kate. How could they attack Sapphire City for no reason.

Coming closer, Castellan Komuk quickly tidied his clothes.

Looking at the noble and handsome Pontiff Monn, he felt for the first time that his looks and physique were a little too shabby.

“Your Holiness Pontiff Monn, welcome to our Sapphire City!”

“I am the castellan of Sapphire City, Count Komuk!”

While Castellan Komuk bowed, at his back the presidents of the Mercenary Union and the Mage Union, the mercenary group leaders, and the nobles in the city did not dare to neglect the most solemn etiquette.

“Castellan Komuk, I hope that the arrival of the Holy Knights of the Orthodox Church did not cause any trouble to your Sapphire City,” Monn said calmly.

He didn’t follow the etiquette of the Orthodox Church.

He just nodded slightly as a return salute.

Castellan Komuk and the others weren’t angry. They weren’t surprised at all.

Monn was the Pontiff of the Orthodox Church. Only the ruler of the Kate Kingdom, not even the princess and prince of the kingdom, could make him follow the etiquette of the Orthodox Church.

This was the embodiment of status.

Castellan Komuk had a kind smile on his face.

“Your Holiness Pontiff Monn, your arrival is the honor of our Sapphire City. Naturally, there won’t be any problems. Moreover, I believe that our Kingdom of Kate and the Orthodox Church will always maintain a friendly relationship.”

Monn smiled faintly, “Of course, we are the divine religion of the Kingdom of Kate!”

Castellan Komuk heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Monn’s purpose was not to bring war to Sapphire City, then everything would be fine. “I wonder why Your Holiness Pontiff Monn has suddenly come to our Sapphire City?”

As he spoke…

Kumok looked at the Holy Knights behind Pontiff Monn.

The murderous aura on their bodies made him feel extremely terrified.

He was not an ignorant commoner.

He could feel the difference of the Holy Knights.

It was not something that Pontiff Monn could gather in San Lorenzo in such a short time.

And every Holy Knight had complete discipline.

Moreover, he couldn’t see the end of the line, but every Holy Knight gave him a sense of awe.

Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb.

Fortunately, His Holiness Pontiff Monn did not have the intention to start a war.

Otherwise, Sapphire City would definitely be filled with rivers of blood today.

Monn said calmly, “I heard that in Sapphire City, some greedy nobles have been exploiting ordinary civilians. The city is filled with complaints, so I came to see who has the guts to do so!”

Hearing this…

The expressions of several nobles behind Castellan Kumok changed instantly.

At the same time, Monn’s gaze fell on them and memorized their appearances.

Since he was going to the Ash Mountain Range, Monn naturally had to make ample preparations.

He had a thorough understanding of the Ash Mountain Range.

Along the way, Monn had also learned about the specific situation in Sapphire City.

This investigation made Monn frown.

The economic situation was obviously good every year, but the commoners at the bottom level were living a life worse than death.

With one look at Monn, he knew that it was definitely caused by the nobles of Sapphire City.

Thus, he decided to take a look.

When the day of reckoning came, these people, including their families, could not be able to escape.

Castellan Kumok smiled sheepishly and said, “Your Holiness Pontiff Monn, you must have misunderstood. There is absolutely no noble who would dare to do something like exploiting civilians! If there is, I will definitely find them and hand them over to you to deal with.”

Munn said, “It would be the best if this is the case.”

Castellan Kumok was instantly stunned.

He had thought that Monn would not let go of this topic, and he did not expect it to be over so quickly.

Castellan Kumok’s expression was also captured by Monn’s eyes.

Of course, Monn wanted to clean up this group of nobles now.

But Monn was, after all, a member of the Orthodox Church, and not a high-ranking member of the Kingdom of Kate.

With his status, it was not appropriate to deal with this group of nobles.

It was better to tell Francis about the situation here, and then inform the King of the Kate Kingdom through Francis.

It would be most reasonable and proper for them to resolve this matter.

The purpose of Monn’s visit today was to intimidate them so that they would not act recklessly.

Seeing the atmosphere was heavy…

Miss Vivian, who had been following Monn and the others, walked over and looked at him with a beautiful smile.

“Respectable Pontiff Monn, on behalf of my father, the Marquis of Bauhinia, I sincerely invite you to come to our territory as a guest.”

Vivian’s words eased the atmosphere.

“Miss Vivian, I will remember your invitation,” said Munn

Vivian said in disappointment, “It’s a pity. If you can come to our territory, it will be our honor.”

Monn said, “There will be a chance!”

It was time to leave.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Monn was ready to leave.

Even without the urging gaze of Castellan Komuk, Monn would not want to stay here for long.

Before he left, he glanced at the humans indifferently.

No one dared to look at him in his eyes.

Even the two presidents of the Mage Union and Mercenary Union also avoided Monn’s gaze with the excuse of human etiquette.

Even though they were peak Amethyst Rank experts, they still did not dare to disrespect Pontiff Monn.

…

Under the gazes of countless people in Sapphire City…

Monn led his Holy Knight Army towards the direction of the Ash Mountain Range.

The heavy footsteps of the Holy Knights heavily struck everyone’s hearts.

The huge Holy Knight Army and countless white heavy armors also made the people behind them tremble in fear.

Everyone believed…

The combat strength of this Holy Knight Army was extremely terrifying!

Fortunately, this Pontiff Monn did not bring any trouble to Sapphire City.

Many of the big shots of the forces heaved a sigh of relief.

However, for the commoners, small nobles and ordinary mercenaries, they did not seem to feel the threat of the Holy Knights.

Instead, they were very excited because of the arrival of the Orthodox Church.

They vaguely knew why the newly appointed Pontiff Monn had come to their Sapphire City.

Although there were no results at the moment, they were still very grateful.
