Chapter 78 - Elendil

n“Please wait a moment, Cardinal Monn.”
nThe King’s voice caused Monn, who was about to leave, to stop in his tracks.
n
n
nHe turned his head and asked in puzzlement, “Is there anything else, Your Majesty?”
nThe King coughed lightly and did not know how to speak for a moment.
nIt could be seen that Monn looked like he had wanted to leave immediately.
nKing Aldrich braced himself and said, “I wonder if Cardinal Monn is interested to be a guest of the royal family?”
n
n
n“Oh?”
nMonn looked at King Aldrich and felt that today was really interesting.
nPreviously it was Prince Rostislav, and now it was this King.
nHe really did not know what was going on.
n
n
nHe chuckled and said, “The king is preparing to let me change jobs?”
n“Jump ship?”
nAldrich studied the meaning of the word carefully.
nIt was a little strange for a moment.
nBut he still understood the general meaning.
nHe nodded slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
n
n
nBut Monn was probably going to disappoint him.
nHe shook his head and declined politely, “I’m sorry, I think the current job is pretty good now.”
nAldrich was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he had already thought of this outcome before.
nBut at the same time, he could not help but ask, “But you’re only a cardinal in the Orthodox Church now. Why don’t you come to our royal family? Your position and treatment will definitely be the best.”
nMonn suddenly understood. So it was because he was a cardinal, that the father and son of the royal family felt that they had a chance to poach him to the royal family.
nHe smiled and explained, “A cardinal is only my current position. In a short while, I will be the Pope.”
nAldrich opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
nAfter all, no matter how much the kingdom gave him, his position could not be higher than the King’s, or even equal to the King’s.
n
n
nBut the Pope of Orthodox Church was different.
nThat was the Pope of a church, an existence that could talk to him, the King, on equal terms in terms of status.
nSince he already had such an identity, why did he still come to the royal family to become the King’s subordinate?
nAldrich shook his head helplessly. He had thought that it was lucky that Orthodox Church had not discovered this powerful cardinal, or perhaps this cardinal had received some unfair treatment in Orthodox Church.
nOnly then did he think of seizing this opportunity to recruit this powerful cardinal to strengthen the royal family’s strength.
nHowever, the Orthodox Church was still not blind from old age. How could they let such a peak-stage saint-level powerhouse go and not put him in an important position?
n“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
nMonn saw that that was nothing else, so he said calmly.
nAldrich had no choice, but he still did not give up and continued, “Since that’s the case, we won’t hold Cardinal Monn back. However, if Cardinal Monn change your mind, or if anything happens, you can come to the royal family at any time. The doors of our royal family will always be open for you.”
nMonn nodded slightly and did not reject Aldrich’s good intentions.
nHowever, he felt that he would not have a chance in this life.
nIt was because not only Andrew treated him well, but even the Pope was an amiable old man.
nThere was no black-hearted boss in the workplace.
n
n
nMonn passed through the banquet hall.
nThe nobles on the way gave way to him one by one, terrified by the sudden display of his strength.
nOn the other hand, Saintess Ace, the eldest Princess Cheryl, and Heidi of the Francis family all rushed up.
n“Are you done?”
nThere wasn’t a trace of jealousy on Ace who was smiling.
nMonn nodded, “I’m done.”
nAce, who knew Monn’s character, was delighted. It was almost time to get off work.
nMonn would not waste time at this boring party.
nShe said calmly, “Since we are done, let’s go home.”
nHer appearance made people wonder about the relationship between the saintess and the cardinal.
nIt sounded like a wife talking to her husband.
nThe eldest princess did not change her expression. She said with a smile, “Don’t leave in a hurry. Monn hasn’t danced with me yet.”
nHeidi was even more enthusiastic. She directly held Moon’s arm in her arms.
nShe acted as if it was a matter of course.
n“Of course Monn will come to my house. Let’s go now.”
nMonn sighed and ignored the three women. He directly used a space walk to return to his home in St Servant.
nSeeing this, Cheryl and Heidi were stunned. On the other hand, Ace secretly clenched her fist. She felt that she had won this time.
nIt was because she thought that Monn would still go to her house to wait for her to feed him.
nHowever, when she prepared a big meal and waited for Monn to come back, her expression suddenly became unhappy.
nIt was because Monn had gone straight back to St. Servant, and he did not go to Ace’s house even until it was time for Elma to come home in the evening.
nAfter returning to St. Servant, Monn, who had dinner with Elma, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the past few days had been really tiring.
nAfter taking a comfortable bath, Monn sat in his bedroom and rubbed his hands expectantly.
nToday was his weekly reward time again.
n“System, extract the reward.”
n Weekly reward is being distributed. You have received the Holy Sword — Elendil!
nHoly Sword?!
nHearing these two words, Monn almost immediately thought of the Holy Sword in Ace’s hand.
nHe could not help but feel a little strange.
nIf the holy sword was only slightly sharp but did not have any other abilities, then what was the use of it?
nHowever, Elendil’s words were somewhat familiar to him.
nHe said, “Withdraw the reward.”
nThere was a buzz.
nIt was as if something had crossed the boundary of time and space and sent something to Monn’s side.
nA blinding holy light suddenly appeared.
nMonn closed his eyes almost subconsciously.
nThen, he suddenly felt his legs sinking.
nA one-handed sword with a silver-gray scabbard suddenly appeared in Monn’s eyes.
n“This is Holy Sword Elendil?”
nMonn stared with a pair of stunned eyes.
nHe sized up the gorgeous one-handed sword in his hand.
nThe silver-gray scabbard was filled with the sun and moon that were meticulously carved with fine gemstones.
nMonn gently pulled out the sword.
nA cry that sounded like a lark was heard.
nThis was the cry of Elendil’s sword.
nMonn carefully felt that Elendil’s grip was wrapped in a layer of black leather. The top of the hilt was in a circular shape, and there was a golden light rippling on it.
nThe body of the sword was engraved with strange inscriptions that Monn could not understand.
nMonn could not help but look at the ineffable inscription.
nIt seemed to be emitting a luster that could attract one’s mind, causing Monn to be slightly intoxicated.
nIt was not until late at night that Monn finally broke out of this state. He could not help but sigh at the beauty of the Holy Sword.
