Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 720 - 387 Mysterious Lady (Seeking votes!!!)_2

This was the first time he encountered the Lady of Confusion after becoming the Holy City Guard Captain, and he still didn't know how to handle this trouble.

After listening, the Sun Pope shook his head slightly and said softly, "...No, there's no need for that."

"You must remember, regarding that lady, do not interfere with her in any way; just have more people pay attention and keep an eye on her movements."

The Sun Pope understood that blocking her would be useless.

You can't stop her.

Even if it seems like you successfully blocked her, next time she'll randomly appear somewhere else.

You simply can't stop her.

Blocking is not as good as channeling, especially when blocking isn't feasible anyway.

If that's the case, then it's better to just ignore her existence.

If anything arises, deal with it when there's actually a problem.

Moreover, there's a high chance that nothing will go wrong. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

In the eyes of outsiders, the Sun Church has always been seen as brash and reckless, only knowing how to brandish weapons and charge at evil with a war cry—this is not a stereotype, it's what they've always done.

Confront evil head-on, don't worry about whether you can win or not, just go for it.

If you win and vanquish evil, it's a gain.

If you lose, you sacrifice yourself and ascend to the Divine Kingdom, also a gain.

Both outcomes are profitable, a big win.

Thus, the warriors of the Sun Church have always been known for their fearless approach to death.

However, that's just the nature of the Sun Church's actions; the upper echelons are not mindless fools incapable of adapting.

When the situation demands caution, they still opt for a more prudent approach.

"Yes, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, the Guard Captain nodded seriously, and after resolving the matter, he exhaled a sigh of relief.

Yet, unable to resist his own curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Eminence, what... exactly is she?"

Does the Church truly not have any discoveries about the Lady of Confusion?

Not even a little?

I don't believe it.

He thought that if the Church truly had no discoveries, it would be impossible to allow such an unidentified special existence to act recklessly.

They must know something, but it's inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, leading to this reaction.

Now that he had successfully reached the Legendary Peak and been promoted to the Guard Captain of the Holy City, he was truly among the higher echelons of the Sun Church.

He should have the right to know, right?

With eager anticipation, he raised his head slightly, hoping the Sun Pope would enlighten him.

He didn't need to know the truth, just a little hint would suffice.

But in the end, the Sun Pope didn't answer, merely lowering his gaze to the Guard Captain's eyes.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know..."

Only when the Guard Captain instinctively averted his gaze did the Pope shake his head slightly and gesture for the Guard Captain to leave.

"Go, my child, you have your mission to fulfill."

"...Yes!"

The middle-aged knight immediately fell silent, rose to put back on his helmet, bowed, and decisively turned to leave.

He did not ask further, nor did he persist even a little.

Insisting and acting spoiled towards elders is a privilege of the young, a privilege he no longer possessed at his age.

It seemed he had failed the test just now by averting his gaze.

Moreover, since His Eminence the Pope wasn't revealing anything, there must be a reason for it, and he still wasn't qualified to know.

"It seems I need to continue working hard!"

"I wonder when I will advance to epic and become a Saint... by then, I should have the qualification, right?"

"But it feels like it will still take a long, long time..."

The Guard Captain mused to himself as he respectfully pushed open the door and quietly left.

Creek.

When the door closed, leaving only the Sun Pope in the empty hall, the old man exhaled deeply.

"Whew... what is she?"

The elder, who the Guardian thought knew everything, shook his head gently and murmured, "Indeed, what is that?"

The Guard Captain assumed the Sun Pope knew the inside story but was unwilling to share it, but in fact, he truly didn't know.

The old Pope shook his head, paced the hall, and finally bowed his head before the towering statue, whispering in his heart.

"My Lord..."

"Please enlighten me."

He asked devoutly, trying to seek answers from the divine.

But as always, he received no response.

Yet even so, the Pope maintained his listening posture, nodding slowly after a long while.

"I understand now..."

The Sun Pope looked up, his gaze first landing on the face of the statue, then continued to the dome of the hall.

He looked at the mural on the ceiling depicting the scene of the Sun God's Divine Kingdom, featuring extremely magnificent patterns.

And at the center of the dome, the blank space beside the deity.

No matter which text from the Sun Church you look at, this mural always looks like this now.

But perhaps only the Sun Pope knows, still remembers, that it originally wasn't empty but had an erased "void."

"..."

He pondered deeply and finally withdrew his gaze.

"Could it be this one?"

After finally getting away from the strange lady knight who kept thanking him, Herbert returned with the Angel Battle Armor to the Third Commandment Hall.

Though according to the Rusted Nail Bishop's idea, Herbert should set off right now; after all, just going to make an appearance, to smooth things over, a quick trip wouldn't take long.

But Herbert decided not to be that hasty and to first organize his affairs.

Though he felt that the two sides wouldn't end up fighting, but... what if?

Right?

Herbert had never considered himself a walking catastrophe, not one of those Death God elementary school kids who bring trouble wherever they go.

Nonetheless, he decided to prepare more and act after planning.

Through the Rusted Nail Bishop, Herbert submitted an application to take a Monster Girl on a trip to the Archbishop.

The Rusted Nail Bishop initially rejected this request.

The reason was simple: Herbert was going to the Holy City of Radiance, the Sun Church's stronghold.

For people of the Justice Faction, there are few places in this world safer than that.

And as allies, the Sun Church surely wouldn't act against Herbert. Taking a Monster Girl prisoner as a bodyguard would be seen as a provocation.

Although one of Herbert's goals this time was to express the Monastery's discontent, doing so would be a bit excessive, wouldn't it?

But surprisingly, the Archbishop approved Herbert's request without a second thought.

Even the usually rigid Rusted Nail Bishop couldn't help but feel envious after receiving a light-hearted response from the Archbishop.

He felt the favouritism of both the Ashen Bishop and the Archbishop towards Herbert once again.

It must be said, it was truly enviable!

Sour.

Rusted Nail Bishop didn't know if he had become a sour lemon.

Joyfully, Herbert returned with permission to the Third Commandment Hall, ready to mobilize and deploy.

The choice of companions this time had long been made.

Given the trip to the Holy City of Radiance, saturated with Light Power, suitable Pocket Monsters had to be chosen.

So, the answer was clear.

"It's decided! You, come with me to the Holy City of Radiance!"

"Hmm?"

Flora blinked and pointed at herself.

Me, me?

Herbert looked at the wide-eyed Enchanting Demon lady pointing at herself, nodded vigorously, and smiled, "Flora, you heard right, it's you."

Before Flora could speak, Kreti couldn't contain herself.

She burst into laughter, delightedly clapping, "Puhahaha! A demon, going to the Sun God's Holy City, hahaha! How interesting!"

Then, while Kreti was laughing, Herbert gave her a very subtle smile.

"Heh."

"Hahaha... uh, um?" Kreti's laughter froze.

She suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be...

Herbert glanced at the uneasy demoness sideways, chuckling with amusement, "What are you laughing at? You also have to come with me."

"Rather, why would you think you could escape?"
