nSister Millie did not live in the Orthodox Church’s St. Servant Cathedral.
n
n
nInstead, she lived in a small monastery next to it.
n
n
n
n
nThere were three nuns there, and they were usually responsible for guiding the prayers and worshippers.
n
n
nMonn held Little Alma with two big and fat salmon in his hands.
n
n
nThe pedestrians on the road showed surprised looks on their faces when they saw them!
n
n
nIt was mainly because the fish was too big!
n
n
n
n
nThe two fish would probably be as tall as Little Alma if they were standing up!
n
n
nIt was already past eight o’clock when the father and daughter arrived at the monastery.
n
n
nMillie had just woken up and was fetching water from the well outside.
n
n
n“Aunt Millie!”
n
n
n
n
nLittle Alma shouted and ran over excitedly when she saw Millie, who was in a nun’s clothes!
n
n
n“Little Alma!”
n
n
nMillie was also surprised!
n
n
nAt that time, because Monn had no conditions and experience of taking care of Alma.
n
n
nHe left Alma with her to live.
n
n
nMoreover, he gave her 15 pounds a week for food expenses!
n
n
n
n
nThere was no need for so much if it was only for Little Alma’s food expenses!
n
n
nThe 15 pounds was enough for two months of food expenses if it was for an ordinary household!
n
n
nThe money was personal gratitude from Monn to Millie.
n
n
nThe cute and obedient Alma had Millie’s favor that year!
n
n
nNuns could never get married and have children.
n
n
nTherefore, for Millie, she almost regarded herself as the little girl’s biological mother on the year she raised Alma!
n
n
nThat was the reason why Little Alma often missed Millie.
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn!”
n
n
n
n
nMillie held Little Alma in her arms and bowed slightly to Monn.
n
n
nAlthough she was familiar with Monn, he was still a cardinal after all.
n
n
nHe was much higher than her in terms of rank!
n
n
nTherefore, Millie was still cautious when facing Monn.
n
n
nMonn approached the two of them, smiled, and waved his hand.
n
n
n“I haven’t gone to work yet. I’m just Alma’s father now!”
n
n
n“Millie, how are you?”
n
n
n“Thank you, Cardinal Monn, for your concern. Recently, life in the monastery has been as peaceful as ever. Nothing has changed.”
n
n
nMillie smiled and replied.
n
n
n“Well… I came here today to ask you to teach Alma how to stew fish soup!”
n
n
nMonn raised the fish bucket in his hand and smiled embarrassedly.
n
n
n“You know, I… don’t know how to cook!”
n
n
nMillie smiled kindly, then nodded and said gently.
n
n
n
n
n“Of course, Cardinal Monn. Please pass me the fish!”
n
n
n“I’ll help you carry it in. These two fish are heavy!”
n
n
nMonn carried the fish bucket into the monastery’s kitchen and then placed the two big fish into a pool.
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn, come over for lunch. This fish is so big. I can make a big meal for you and Alma!”
n
n
nMillie said with a smile.
n
n
nMonn nodded. He had tasted Millie’s cooking before.
n
n
nAlthough it was not the level of a chef, it was still much better than his cooking!
n
n
nHe chatted with Millie for a while in the monastery and accompanied Little Alma to play with the big white goose raised in the monastery.
n
n
nIt was almost nine o’clock.
n
n
n“I’ll leave Alma to you then. I’ll come back at noon!”
n
n
n“Alma, listen to Aunt Millie. Don’t be mischievous!”
n
n
nMonn walked out of the monastery and said goodbye to Millie with a smile. At the same time, he pretended to be stern and pointed at Alma’s little head!
n
n
n“Got it, naggy Father Monn!”
n
n
nLittle Alma hugged Millie’s arm and replied with a pout!
n
n
nMonn slowly walked in the direction of the cathedral after handing Alma to Millie.
n
n
nHe began his day’s work.
n
n
nGenerally speaking, there were relatively few dark creatures that dared to wreak havoc near the Orthodox Church.
n
n
nTherefore, what Monn needed to deal with every day were some routine matters.
n
n
nOccasionally, he would encounter cases of dark creatures wreaking havoc.
n
n
nMonn was used to handing them over to the archbishops, bishops, and so on.
n
n
nAlthough he had just calculated the money for Little Alma Yesterday, the money for grammar school was not enough.
n
n
nBut, he still had to go to the monastery to have lunch with Alma at noon.
n
n
nSo Monn still did not go out to hunt dark creatures.
n
n
nAnyway, there was no need to be in a hurry to make money!
n
n
nPope Andrew gathered the four cardinals under his command, as well as the deputy commander of the Holy Knights in the morning.
n
n
nCurrently, the three main churches of the Orthodox Church had stationed Holy Knights.
n
n
nHowever, the commander of these three Holy Knights was not the commander, but the three deputy commanders!
n
n
nThe commander of the Holy Knights, who had the strength of a Holy Rank, followed the pope all year round, living in the temple thousands of miles away from St. Servant.
n
n
nWhen all the cardinals and the deputy commander of the Holy Knights, Philip, arrived.
n
n
nPope Andrew announced two important news!
n
n
nThe first thing was that the day before, the body of a werewolf who was advancing to the Holy Rank was discovered more than 50 kilometers northeast of St. Servant, the capital of the Kingdom of Kate!
n
n
nAnd the cause of this werewolf’s death was another unknown expert who might have the strength of an Advanced Stage Holy Rank!
n
n
nAndrew guessed that the werewolf clan had sent an expert who was about to advance to the Holy Rank to hide that near to the capital. They must have other motives.
n
n
nPerhaps, the werewolf clan might make a big move against the Orthodox Church and the capital, St. Servant soon!
n
n
nThe second thing was that the pope’s pilgrimage once every three years would be brought forward because of the werewolf matter.
n
n
nHe was expected to arrive at St. Servant’s Cathedral within a week!
n
n
nAt that time, the Pope would test the strength of the bishops, archbishops, and cardinals under his command.
n
n
nHe would also review the work of the various bishops in the past three years!
n
n
nMonn understood immediately.
n
n
nWasn’t this similar to the chairman of the head office who would visit the various branches at the end of the year?
n
n
nIt was just a deterrence and a favor, even though it was said to be an inspection.
n
n
nAs for the first thing, it made Monn somewhat confused.
n
n
nAccording to the pope, the “Mysterious Advanced Stage Holy Rank Expert ” he mentioned.
n
n
nShould be Monn.
n
n
nBut, what the hell was that werewolf that was advancing?
n
n
nMonn didn’t remember killing werewolves!
n
n
nSuddenly, Monn remembered that after he threw the “Dimensional Slash” at the stone platform.
n
n
nHe seemed to have indeed heard a faint cry.
n
n
nBut at that time, he thought that the cry was far away, so he didn’t care.
n
n
nNow, it seemed that his “Dimensional Slash” had directly penetrated the stone platform.
n
n
nAnd then, he killed a werewolf that was about to advance to the Holy Rank that was hiding under the stone platform?
n
n
nThe corner of Monn’s mouth twitched a few times, and he silently mourned for that werewolf for three seconds in his heart.
n
n
nThat werewolf’s luck was bad!
n
n
nMonn cleared his throat and suddenly felt like asking.
n
n
nIf he stood out and said, “I killed that werewolf.”
n
n
nWould he be able to obtain a bounty on the dark creatures from the Orthodox Church and the Kingdom of Kate?
n
n
nThe cardinals, who lacked money, couldn’t go through all these.
n
