As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime-Chapter 213 - The Ash Mountain Range

“What has brought you to the Orthodox Church?”

Monn’s tone was flat.

He asked for the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce’s visit in a very straightforward manner.

Vivian was stunned.

She was caught off guard by Cardinal Monn’s straightforwardness.

However, Vivian quickly reacted.

Knowing that Cardinal Monn did not want to waste time, she said, “Our Chamber of Commerce does have a request.”

Vivian’s face turned serious.

Monn did not interrupt her and let her continue.

Vivian continued, “Our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has found a gold mine in the Ash Mountain Range. According to the laws of the kingdom, as long as we hand over a certain amount of gold, we can develop it ourselves. However, there is a Kobold Tribe in the Ash Mountain Range, and there are many Holy Rank powerhouses among them. Our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce does not have the opportunity to develop it at all, so… ”

After saying the specific things, Vivian looked at Monn expectantly, hoping to get Monn’s help.

At this juncture, Ace actually came forward and said coldly, “Sorry, we Orthodox Church doesn’t have such a business.”

Vivian was a little disappointed to be rejected by Ace.

This was the strongest combat force she knew in the vicinity.

Of course, they could also hire mercenaries.

But, not to mention if the mercenaries could defeat the Kobold Tribe or not, their credibility alone would not make Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce feel at ease.

Only the righteous Orthodox Church would be able to put their minds at ease.

But they had decisively rejected.

Vivian was a little disappointed. She made a final struggle and said, “We can give half of the gold mines that we have developed to the Orthodox Church. is that not enough?”

Ace frowned.

She was about to reject righteously.

But she was suddenly stopped by Monn. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Monn’s eyes looked very calm. He said faintly, “We will help you with this. Don’t worry. It is the basic principle of our Orthodox church to eradicate all threatening creatures.”

Ace, who was pulled down by Monn, looked at Monn speechlessly.

If it were not for the deep light hidden in Monn’s eyes…

Perhaps Ace would have believed it.

Vivian, who was still feeling lost, was suddenly stunned.

She could not believe the sudden turn of events.

But she was very sure that she had not heard wrong.

She remembered that the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce had once heard that Cardinal Monn was very fond of money.

At first, they did not quite believe it.

After all, the cardinal was a Holy Rank powerhouse.

How could he like such ordinary money?

But after witnessing the change of events… 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Vivian felt that what they heard was not wrong.

The cardinal was indeed a little different.

The cardinal agreed to help the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce with the Kobold Tribe.

He therefore invited the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce into the Holy Church to discuss some details.

Of course, even if Monn helped the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce drive out the Kobold Tribe…

And the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce would give half of the gold mine to the Orthodox Church…

Mon wouldn’t take the gold mine without permission…

As Monn had agreed to it in the name of the Orthodox Church.

Monn would only use this gold mine to develop his Holy Church.

Of course, he could still get a raise in salary or something.

This was actually the main purpose of Monn’s agreement.

“The Kobolds who occupied the gold mine?”

Monn held his chin and pondered for a moment.

It was not difficult to guess what Kobolds were from its name.

This was a race that had the head of a dog and the body of a human.

Kobolds, werewolves, pygmy, bear-man, lion-man, fox-man, and so on were all from the beast race. The difference was that they usually lived in their own tribes. Only the royal family of the beast race could command them.

“Monn?”

Ace reminded him softly. He had been silent for a long while.

Monn came back to his senses. He looked at Vivian who was standing in the middle of the hall and said, “Miss. Vivian, the gold mine you mentioned is worth 10 million gold coins. Where is the exact location?”

Vivian said, “The gold mine is located in the southeast of the Kade Mountain Range, about 500 kilometers away. It is hidden in the Ash Mountain Range. Only Our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has the exact location information of the gold mine.”

Monn looked at Ace who was beside him.

Ace nodded and said, “If I remember the location correctly, the Ash Mountain Range was named by the orcs.”

Vivian smiled bitterly and said, “Your Highness, you are right. The Ash Mountain Range was indeed named by the orcs. But you can rest assured that although it is close to the border of the orcs, there are not many orcs.”

But Ace said, “Thousands of years ago, the Ash Mountain Rnage was ruled by the orcs until a giant dragon descended and burned everything in the mountains into ashes with its powerful dragon flame. Although the giant dragon was killed by a few golden behemoths of the beast race, its soul did not fall into the arms of the Dragon God. Instead, it became a giant full of resentment. The ghost of the dragon shuttles through every corner of the Ash Mountain Range.”

Vivian shook her head and said, “Your Highness, the ghost of the giant dragon is only a legend. It can not be taken seriously.”

“We, the Orthodox Church, will not use our lives to test whether this legend is true or false,” said Ace

Although Ace knew that Monn was very strong, she still had to be careful in the face of the unknown.

Monn knew what Ace was worried about.

So, he did not stop Ace from asking.

At the same time, Monn was also a little curious. He asked, “Miss. Vivian, your Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is from Sapphire City, right? Why would you want to cross the city to seek the help of our Holy Church?”

Vivian shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then explained, “Cardinal Monn, our Sapphire City is only a medium-sized city. There is no Orthodox church in it. The overall strength of the city is not strong. There is no one who can reach the Holy Rank.

If it is mercenaries, forget about whether they have the strength or not, just the credibility of the mercenaries is very unreliable.

We, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, do not believe that the greedy mercenaries would not have any thoughts when they saw such a big gold mine.

On the contrary, we believe in the Orthodox Church!”

Vivian looked into Monn’s eyes.

Her tone was very sincere.

Monn nodded with understanding.

He now knew the reason why the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce came to seek their help.

Monn said, “In that case, take us, the Orthodox Church, to investigate the specific situation of the Ash Mountain Range. Then we will help the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to fight against the Kobold Tribe.”

Soon, Monn made his decision.

He looked at Vivian and said, “In the meantime, Miss. Vivian, your team can stay in the Holy Church temporarily. When the time comes, you can go to the Ash Mountain Range with us. Of course, you have to return to Sapphire City first. I will arrange for someone to inform you.”
