Chapter 168 - The Coming of the Elves

In the end, Heidi did not leave the Holy Church.

It was not because Monn gave in.

It was because Jerome had suddenly come to the Holy Church.

As soon as he entered the door, he performed the etiquette of a noble.

Then he said, “I heard that Pope Monn has captured the night feline monster?”

Monn looked at him indifferently.

He thought that Jerome came at a bad time.

Were all lords so idle?

Was there no other official business?

Jerome did not know what Pope Monn was thinking.

He had only heard the villagers on the street talking about the night feline monster.

He found out that what had happened after asking the soldiers.

It turned out that Pope Monn had captured the night feline monster and brought it to the Holy Church.

Only then did he hurry over.

Heidi was very happy to see Jerome coming.

She thought that he was really sensible.

Heidi was very satisfied!

She even walked over and patted Jerome on the shoulder.

She was very vocal about her satisfaction.

Jerome was confused.

He didn’t know what had happened.

Monn was helpless.

He couldn’t get rid of Heidi before dinnertime.

He pointed at the Sylvia with his chin.

He didn’t say anything more.

Jerome turned to look at Sylvia.

A short purple-haired girl,

With two cat ears on her head, a wagging tail behind her, and a pair of big cat eyes.

She looked at them curiously.

Jerome immediately knew that this little girl was the night feline monster who had been stealing food in the village.

He just didn’t know how Pope Monn dealt with her.

It looked like she had been taken in?

He stared at Sylvia, who stood silently beside Monn as if he were her guard.

Jerome felt strange.

He could not help but ask, “Pope Monn, this is…”

He pointed at Sylvia.

Monn said casually, “As a punishment for her theft, she will be acting as a volunteer in the Orthodox Church during this period of time.”

“Volunteer?”.

Jerome was surprised,

But he was fine with the punishment.

Since Sylvia was caught by the Orthodox Church,

Of course, they should be the ones to punish her.

Sylvia did not commit serious crimes.

Therefore, Jerome did not have any objections.

He smiled and said, “Then let’s do as the Pope says.”

Of course, the Pope did not have any objections.

The explanation was only out of respect for him.

The Orthodox Church did not actually have to inform Jerome at all.

By settling the matter of the night feline monster thief, Jerome felt as if he had accomplished something.

At the same time, he lamented that Pope Monn’s efficiency was truly high.

He had only brought up the matter today, yet it had already been settled before nightfall.

This kind of efficiency could be said to be terrifying.

Jerome couldn’t stop sighing in relief.

As expected of the famous Pope Monn.

Jerome was relieved as the matter of the night feline monster thief was settled.

Then, he left the Orthodox Church with his guards.

He returned to the Lord’s Mansion to continue his work.

Although Monn really wanted him to take Heidi with him when he left,

Jerome didn’t think to do so.

He couldn’t drive Heidi away,

So he had no choice to bear the cost of Heidi’s dinner.

After Jerome had left,

He called Philip to see how the recruitment was going.

He looked at the list in his hand,

And found it was going well.

There was a rule,

That only righteous people could be recruited.

The Orthodox Church could not just accept everyone.

In this regard, Monn asked Philip to keep a strict watch.

He absolutely could not let a sinful person join the Orthodox Church.

Of course, Philip was an elder of the Orthodox Church.

He had noticed this problem.

Philip had sent people to inquire about all potential recruits’ character and principles, as well as what they had done.

He would not miss a single detail.

By the time the recruitment was arranged, it was already the afternoon.

Monn did not have much to do next.

This was the true ease of being Pope.

He only needed to hand over some trivial matters to his subordinates.

As Pope, he only needed to guard the rear.

This was the real work of an Orthodox Church Pope.

It was evening, and Monn left work on time.

He was followed by a few followers.

Monn watched the number of people whom he had to pay for, increase.

He was very worried about his family’s finances,

As he had more stomachs to fill.

Because there were more people today,

Monn didn’t get expensive ingredients.

He had instead bought some cheap dishes,

But there were many advantages.

Heidi looked at Monn.

Her face was full of surprise. “Are we really going to eat these things tonight?”

Monn glanced at her and said, “What’s the problem?”

“Well…”

Heidi was a little speechless.

This was the first time in her life that she was going to eat such cheap food.

It might have been a good experience,

But Heidi did not want to upset her stomach.

Besides, she wondered if she would really be able to swallow it.

She rummaged through her pockets.

She took out just the right amount of gold and hurriedly gave it to Monn and said, “Here, buy something edible.”

Monn did not seem to refuse at all.

Alas, since there was no way to send Heidi back,

Monn might as well pay for her food using her money.

Monn didn’t believe that Heidi could swallow things.

With her delicate lady body,

She definitely couldn’t stand such suffering.

Monn had just given her some side dishes, and Heidi couldn’t stand it.

Just as Monn was thinking.

Since it was Heidi who paid for it, Monn didn’t have to be so stingy.

Moreover, Asher was a big eater, so Monn could not afford to buy less.

If the elves came and heard that he had mistreated one of them,

Wouldn’t that cause a rift between the two races?

Although the elves already seemed to hate humans,

Monn did not care.

Of course, the main thing was that Asher was a big eater.

Monn was afraid that they wouldn’t have anything else to eat even before Asher ate her fill.

Of course they had to prepare more,

So that they wouldn’t starve.

With Heidi’s money, they bought all kinds of food.

Then they went home,

At the same time.

Not long after Monn left,

A group of uninvited guests suddenly came to San Lorenzo.
