Chapter 229 - The Tool

n

n

nMonn saw the whole world fighting for the throne very clearly.

nThat’s why he didn’t want to get involved.

n

n

nHe kept his distance.

nNot even close.

nHe kept his mouth shut about the throne.

nIt could even be said that he walked around it.

n

n

nDon’t look at him as a Cardinal.

nHis mouth was full of various doctrines.

nThe commonly used spells also represented the light.

nBut only his heart knew best.

n

n

nThese were all superficial, for the sake of the congregation.

nWhat he wanted in this world was always to live, to live well.

nIt would be best if he could return to his original world.

nHe could not go back, but also lived in peace in this world.

nFar away from disputes, far away from fame and fortune.

nOf course, this was a beautiful wish.

n

n

nWhere there were people, there would be politics.

nWhere there were people, there would be constant struggles for fame and fortune from ancient times until now.

nAlthough the world was big, not everyone could do whatever they wanted.

nLiving in this world, they did not want to hand over their lives to others.

nThen they had to be the person who controlled the life and death of others.

nOnly in this way could one had the capital to make decisions for their own lives.

nBut to control the life and death of others, it meant that one had to be strong.

nOnly the strong had the right to speak.

n

n

nWho would not want the right to speak.

nEven if it was the strong, there were also open and hidden fights among each other.

nIn order to expand their own power, in order to consolidate their own power.

nWho was not doing their best.

nWho was not doing everything they could.

nIn order to live well, no matter how much one did not want to fight or to snatch.

nAll must face the reality.

nIn the Kingdom of Kate, ranks were divided clearly.

nSome people are born with good fortune, born to not worry for survival.

nBorn in the upper class, was the offspring of the aristocracy.

nOne did not have to worry about life.

nEvery day, one had the protection from the ancestors, and also able to eat the delicacies from all over the world and dressed luxurious in silk.

nIf one was born as a commoner. Only a small number of them had talent. They were tough enough and had good luck.

n

n

nThey could become professionals and change their fate of being bullied.

nMore commoners were just cheap labor.

nIn order to live, one had to wake up early and sleep late.

nIn order to eat, one had to endure beatings and taunts.

nSlaves were even more miserable than commoners.

nSome slaves were born slaves, and these people were lucky enough to turn over a new leaf.

nThe number of slaves increased almost every day.

nThe reason was that anyone who made a big mistake, or offended a noble or a professional, would be implicated.

nNaturally, close friends and family would also be implicated.

nSome of those who were directly related would be executed at that time and lose their lives.

nThe rest would be branded as slaves and sent for slavery to entertain.

nThe good-looking slaves would be sent to the auction house.

nThey would be bought by people of all races who were interested.

nThis was also why there were more and more relationships between the orcs on the continent.

nAll races liked to buy slaves from humans that were cheap, easy to use, smart, good-looking, and fertile.

nThese slaves that were bought by all races were basically destined to become breeding grounds for other races.

nThe professionals were nobles, while the commoners had the talent of a mage or a warrior.

nAs for the slaves with such talent, it would not change the fate of the slaves.

nThey would only become the servants of the important figures.

nWhen Monn had just arrived in this world, he had also thought of looking for an opportunity to sweep away the previous gold and silver, allowing the birds to fly high in the sky and the fish to leap freely in the vast sea.

nBut when he gradually understood the Sallum Continent.

nHe completely threw this idea into the clouds.

nWhat a joke.

nDid his identity as a Cardinal wasn’t pleasant?

nWhy escape?

nWhat was there to escape for?

nThis Kingdom of Kate was his motherland, Saint Cedar City was his hometown, and the Orthodox Church was his favourite unit!

nHe was already the most powerful and influential Orthodox Church’s Cardinal in the country.

nWhy did he still need a bicycle.

nBe content!

nAt least he was now a person with status.

nWherever he went, he would receive admiration.

nIf he was a slave in this world…

nThe picture was too beautiful.

nHe couldn’t even imagine it.

nHe had seen too many talented slaves, just because of their status, they could only live under the oppression of others.

nOr they could be locked up in a dog cage at a slave farm, and they could be beaten and scolded.

nOne’s life and death were in the hands of the workers of the slave farm.

nMonn finally understood the happiness of comparison.

nHis Paladin army was basically filled with mages and warriors that he had selected from the slave farm.

nIt could be said that every soldiers in his Paladin army was personally polished by him.

nThis was also the main reason why his Paladin army’s combat strength was high and they were all loyal to him.

nThe paladins who had been selected from the slave farm after all kinds of tests had been graced by Monn.

nThey were more appreciative and hardworking than the paladins who had been selected from the commoners.

nThe same starting line, and those who worked harder would always be ahead.

nSeeing the paladins who had been born in the slave farm, they cherished their current life, worked hard to train their bodies and hone their skills.

nIt deeply touched Monn.

nIn fact, what was the difference between him and the paladins who were born in slave farms?

nThese people were trying to break free from the shackles of fate.

nSo was he!

nThe paladins who were born in slave farms were relying on their own efforts to live with dignity.

nHe was the same.

nThe difference was that everyone stood at a different height.

nThe way they struggled was different in the eyes of others.

nThe way paladins expressed themselves was to make their skills more proficient and their bodies stronger.

nMonn, on the other hand, trained people he could trust and worked hard to earn money.

nSince ancient times, only those who had an army were qualified to stand firm.

nAnd to raise an army, one had to use money.

nUnlike those who were originally natives of this world, he didn’t have any foundation.

nHe could only fight alone.

nThat was why he was trying to amass as much wealth as possible.

nBecause he knew that in the eyes of the gods…

nHoly Rank powerhouses like them were no different from grasshoppers jumping around in the grass.

nJust like how he had seen Grey Iron Rank and Mithril Rank people after he became a Holy Rank.

nHe did not put the other parties in his eyes at all.

nThe reason was very simple. The other parties were too weak.

nThey were so weak that he could crush them to death with a flick of his finger.

nEver since he learned that there were many gods in this world…

nMonn had been very careful to hide his differences from the other people in this world.

nHe did it so that he wouldn’t be targeted by the gods in this world.

nHe knew very well that being weak was a sin.

nNo matter how high his status as a Cardinal was among the humans.

nTo Gods, he was just the stronger of the many bugs.
