Chapter 159 - Coming to The Village

n
nThe problem of Asher staying here was no more.
nFinally, Monn was relieved.
n
n
nAfter all, Monn couldn’t afford to continue feeding this gluttonous elf girl.
nIt was better to send her back to where she was from.
nWalking out of the Holy Church.
nMonn was ready to deal with the matter of the night feline monster that Jerome had mentioned.
n
n
nBut Monn looked behind him and felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.
nHe had clearly told them that only Ace and Monn were needed.
nThe two of them would only make the mission more difficult.
nDespite what Monn said,
n
n
nHeidi and Asher were still unwilling to stay behind at the church.
nThey insisted on following Monn to investigate.
nThe night feline monster was already very fast.
nIf something had happened, Monn did not know if he could protect the two vases in his hands.
nAt that moment, he heard a burst of exclamations behind him.
n“Wow! This is so beautiful!”
n
n
nWithout even looking, he knew that Asher must have seen something that caught her eye.
nAs expected,
nAsher’s eyes lit up as she looked straight at the garland on top of a stall.
nThe stall owner rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, “Miss, you really have good taste. This garland suits you really well!”
nUpon hearing this, Asher nodded in agreement.
nSeeing this scene, Ace rubbed her forehead.
nSilly girl, she only said that to make you buy the garland!
nYou actually took it seriously?
n
n
nHeidi looked at her with disdain and softly spat out, “Country bumpkin.”.
nShe felt a little embarrassed.
nShe then pretended not to know her and moved to the side.
nMonn sighed and didn’t want to care about them.
nHe could only think about the village in the east.
nSeeing this, Ace hurried to follow.
nAt the same time, she shouted, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll leave you!”
nHearing this, Heidi immediately turned her head.
nShe saw Monn walking toward the east without stopping.
nHeidi didn’t care about Asher anymore and ran straight over.
nAsher finally came back to her senses when she heard what Ace said.
nShe ignored the stall owner’s urging and immediately caught up with Monn and the others.
nIt wasn’t Asher’s fault for only looking and not buying.
n
n
nIt was because she didn’t have any money!
nEven if the stall owner had made her stay, she didn’t have the money to pay him.
nAsher ran all the way and caught up with Monn and the others.
nAfter crossing the busy area, Monn arrived at an empty street.
nFurther in was a desolate village.
nMonn frowned at the sight.
nHe found that the village was strangely quiet.
nAsher also noticed this.
nHer heart tightened, thinking that something else might have happened.
nJust then,
nCreak…
nAn old wooden door suddenly opened, making a sound that made one’s teeth ache.
nHearing this sound, Ace hurriedly pulled out her Holy Sword and got ready for battle.
nHeidi and Asher knew that they were weak, so they both hid behind Monn.
nSeeing this, Monn sighed helplessly.
nHe felt the heat of the two bodies hiding behind him.
nThis was the reason why Monn didn’t want to bring Heidi and Asher along.
nMonn needed to be on guard against the sudden attack of the night feline monster.
nBut now, he also needed to protect these two burdensome girls.
nWasn’t this distracting?
nLife wasn’t easy, Monn sighed.
nBut they were here, Monn had no other choice.
nHe could only brace himself to protect the two of them.
nJust when the whole atmosphere was filled with tension,
nBehind the door, an old man’s head popped out.
nHe looked around.
nThen he saw a few people in the uniform of the Orthodox Church.
nHis cloudy eyes lit up.
nThey had opened a branch of the Orthodox Church in San Lorenzo,
nAnd he knew about it,
nThe whole village had gone to see the ascension ceremony yesterday.
nWho would have thought that the members of the Orthodox Church would come and settle the matters in their village today?
nThis was something that the old man had not expected.
nAfter all, most people had just gone to work, and the rest basically had other matters to settle.
nAs the village chief, he had many matters waiting for him to settle.
nSo being the Pope of the Orthodox Church would definitely not be easy.
nThe leaders of the Orthodox Church were indeed very attentive. They even dispatched people to settle matters in their small village so quickly.
nHowever, why did the two people standing in the middle look so familiar?
nThe village chief thought for a moment and recalled if he had seen Monn and Ace somewhere before.
nThe next moment, as if he had recalled something, the village chief’s eyes suddenly widened and his jaw dropped.
n“You… Aren’t you Pope Monn?”
nThe village chief first spoke to Pope Monn, then turned to ace and said, “You are Her Highness, the Saintess!”
nRecalling the identities of these two people, the village chief instantly became terrified.
nThen, he hurriedly ran out of the room and said, “I’m truly disrespectful. I didn’t know that Pope Monn and Her Highness, the Saintess had come personally!”
nThe village chief touched the sweat on his forehead, feeling somewhat terrified.
nHe didn’t know why the Pope and Her Highness, the Saintess had come?
nHe didn’t know that what had happened in this village was related to a Holy Rank powerhouse.
nAfter all, Jerome saw that night feline monster didn’t have any intention of hurting people.
nHe only said that it was a mischievous magical beast and that it was not a big deal.
nThat was why the village chief was a little puzzled. Why would the Pope and the Saintess come over because of such a small matter?
nHowever, he did not vocalize his thoughts.
nThe village chief, who knew his place, understood that he only needed to cooperate with them in their work.
nMonn saw him come out and asked, “Why doesn’t there seem to be anyone in this village?”
nWhen the village chief heard Monn’s words, he wiped his sweat and said, “It’s because the soldiers guarding this place were injured last night. Everyone was a little scared, so they all hid in their homes and no one dared to come out.”
nAfter hearing that, Monn and the others immediately understood.
nThe magical beast didn’t seem to want to hurt humans.
nHowever, it scratching that soldier yesterday still left a shadow on the villagers.
nIt made them scared to go out again.
nThey hid at home even during the day.
nAfter all, no one knew for sure that the magical beast would not hurt humans.
nNow, twelve people were sure that it really only appeared at night.
nAnd not during the day?
n
