Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation

In the cold court, two cardinals faced each other quietly.

It wasn't raining outside the window, but the atmosphere between the two was not harmonious.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I didn't do anything wrong."

The Rusty Nail Bishop walked out of the shadows slowly, and the rivets pierced on his body collided lightly while walking, making a strange rhythmic sound.

"The seal moved, and the Archbishop personally took charge and asked us to find the deceived monks. This is something you and I know."

"He is an outsider, and he is the most suspicious. I didn't take him down directly, but just tested him secretly. I was restrained for your sake."

Although Herbert didn't have much self-awareness, his identity was actually quite special in the eyes of the monastery's high-level officials.

[Silver Wing] The second son of the Duke.

There were monks of noble origin in the monastery in history, but most of them were downtrodden nobles who were desperate, or small nobles who violated the commandments and were forcibly sent to reform.

Herbert was the only noble who took the initiative to apply to join the Misty Monastery in the past two hundred years.

And he is also a strong successor to a powerful noble in the kingdom!

As for whether he has committed the crime of "blaspheming the princess", everyone knows it in their hearts, and no one will really treat him as a criminal.

Not to mention the purity oath he made later, which is a strong proof of this.

He is innocent.

But whether Herbert is pure or not, he is still a special existence, and it is difficult to treat him equally with others.

Was he really plotted against?

Or does he have other purposes?

It is not new that the Frost Crystal Kingdom has been trying to reach into the Misty Monastery for so many years and trying to support a bishop with a kingdom background.

The high-level officials of the monastery are aware of the royal family's little thoughts, but they did not come forward to stop them, which is a disguised acquiescence to their little actions.

The monks are detached from the world and devote the rest of their lives to order and fight for justice.

But this is not completely isolated from the world. Monks who cannot be completely self-sufficient still need funding from others.

Although the monastery has respect for the gods and accepts their blessings, they are not servants of the gods.

The Mist Monastery is not a church of gods. It will not specifically worship a certain god, nor will it fight with them for the gods. It will only fight for justice and order in the world.

The church of gods still needs donations from believers to maintain its operation, and this is even more true for monasteries without believers.

The monastery will accept the kind donations from the nobles, and when necessary, it will send monks from the Knights to help them solve some minor problems.

Of course, those that do not involve principles.

Such as fighting against bandits that ravage the territory, hunting monsters that endanger the people, and guarding the border between humans and monsters.

The monastery does not want the kingdom to extend its hands too far, and it is enough to maintain the status quo.

Therefore, Herbert was thrown directly into the alien prison as a warden after becoming a paladin.

This position seems to be not low, responsible for guarding important alien prisoners, but there is little contact with other monks, and there is no way to cultivate feelings.

The promotion in name only seems glorious, but in fact, there is no real power, which effectively prevents some things from happening.

However, when the monastery's top leaders made this decision, no one would have thought that this position actually suited Herbert's heart.

All of them were foreign ladies, and he was so happy.

"But he is no longer an outsider now."

Bishop Thorn snorted and said in a low voice: "When he made a vow before the gods and received the protection, he was already a member of the monastery."

Bishop Rusty Nail stared at him silently with dead fish eyes after Bishop Thorn finished speaking, and after a long time, he slowly said:

"... You obviously agreed with my approach before, so don't make it seem like I'm deliberately targeting him now."

"Humph! I don't care about that."

Bishop Thorn did not change his expression, waved his big hand, shook his smooth bald head, and said in a low voice: "Now, you have tried it, do you have any questions?"

Bishop Rusty Nail did not answer, just squinted at his rogue colleague.

After a long while, he sighed weakly and said:

"His spirit is extremely strong and is hardly affected by me. In addition to the Pure Protection, he should also have magical artifacts to protect the soul, and the grade is at least above the legendary level."

Hmm?

The expression of the Thorn Bishop changed slightly, and he frowned and asked: "Then what he said just now was all a lie?"

Is it all a disguise?

Then I was deceived by him?

This shouldn't be!

I have been the chief judge for so many years, how can I not distinguish between truth and lies?

"No, you were not deceived. What he said was all the truth from the bottom of his heart."

"And that was only part of it. There is still a large part that has not been aroused."

Bishop Rusty Nail recalled the unwillingness and anger he felt, and sighed with some emotion:

"As a wronged teenager, he urgently needs a battle to prove himself and use the honor of victory to maintain his spirit..."

He paused here, shook his head and said: "Even, his subconscious hopes to be able to sacrifice gloriously to wash away his grievances."

After these words came out, the two cardinals were silent.

Sacrifice.

Die to show one's will.

Everyone is afraid of death. Even among the Paladins, not everyone has the faith to sacrifice.

Without much explanation, they can feel the pressure Herbert is under mentally.

Although he can't see the slightest regret on the surface, he has never forgotten it and has always kept it deep in his heart.

"Have you found out who is persecuting him?"

"I have, but I won't tell you. This is not something we should get involved in."

"...Ha, I understand." Bishop Thorn snorted coldly, curled his lips in disdain and said, "It seems that he is a big shot who can rank high in the kingdom."

Bishop Rusty Nail shook his head and stopped explaining. Instead, he said, "Now, we can confirm that Herbert is indeed innocent, not a deceived person, and can be trusted."

"As the archbishop said, he is indeed an excellent seedling. I will absorb him into the next expansion of the Knights."

"Indeed, he is an excellent... huh?"

Bishop Thorn was stunned for a moment, then he was furious on the spot, pointing at his unethical colleague and angrily said, "You want to rob people!? Absolutely not! Don't forget, he is from my Inquisition!"

Damn old thing, what are you going to do! ! ?

"Ha."

Bishop Rusty Nail sneered, ignored Bishop Thorn's anger, turned around and walked out without looking back.

As he walked, he whispered quietly:

"You are the one who must not forget."

"Herbert is a Paladin."

"You, a Punishment Monk, can't teach him...ha!"
