He sneered coldly and said, “Don’t make a scene here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m making a scene, am I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thorn Bishop laughed bitterly, eyes rolling wildly—but all were hidden beneath his crown, rendering his fury utterly powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know what you want—you’re trying to get Herbert to join your knightly order. Dream on! I will never agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible. Absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight-Lieutenant said calmly, “You know full well he doesn’t belong in the Inquisition. Staying in the Third Ordinance Hall is merely wasting his talent. You’re violating the Ordinances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re committing a crime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m violating the Ordinances? Fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inquisitor-General was thoroughly enraged and laughed bitterly, nodding repeatedly as he gritted his teeth: “I’m too tired to argue with you, noble. Let’s go straight to the Grand Archbishop! Let him decide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see how he rejects you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he kicked open the already trembling door he’d smashed earlier and sprinted back along the same path toward the monastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, a brute with nothing but muscles... The Grand Archbishop won’t care about this nonsense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rust Nail Bishop snorted, then turned to face the trainees in the yard and whispered coldly: “What are you all laughing at? What’s so funny?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eee!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, every smile vanished from their faces. Each one stared straight ahead, training with renewed fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were even more precise, their expressions even more serious than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssssh!

The rule forbids more than two entering simultaneously. Have you forgotten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The profane energy of the Prayer Idol has been unusually active lately, so the Grand Archbishop summoned me to assist in guarding it. Whatever you need, I’ll relay it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inquisitor opened his mouth, coughed awkwardly twice, and muttered, “Uh... we don’t have anything to ask. Nothing...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ash Bishop slightly lifted her head, gazing at the towering brute who, even bowed, stood a head taller than her, and asked softly: “Then what exactly are you two here for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inquisitor-General immediately realized his mistake—but the Knight-Lieutenant stepped in, bowing respectfully: “Your Grace, this is how it happened...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added no embellishment, recounting the entire incident clearly and completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Herbert’s request for “freedom,” and his stated demands—all laid bare without omission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Grace, we cannot waste his talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, the Ash Bishop nodded. Once she confirmed the Inquisitor-General had nothing more to add, she stepped through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, she reappeared before them and declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Grand Archbishop has responded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Herbert may join the Knightly Order, but it must not interfere with his duties in the Third Ordinance Hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is simultaneously under the jurisdiction of both the Inquisition and the Knightly Order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rust Nail Bishop’s eyes lit up; he bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already anticipated this outcome—he’d hoped for nothing less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thorn Bishop’s expression, however, grew complex. He wanted to argue, but in the end, said nothing, and bowed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left to do but compromise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ash Bishop nodded at the two, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Furthermore, regarding Herbert’s claim that the heretics have behaved well... the Grand Archbishop agrees to grant them certain rewards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they may not leave the monastery for now—the risk is too great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, their movement range within the local prison may be expanded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One opened her eyes—and saw only darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you can’t kill me!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weak, frantic voice rang out nearby, jolting Herbert from his daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert tried to identify the source—but quickly realized the voice came from his own mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was him—pleading desperately, fleeing from the terrifying presence behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I the victim this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Herbert pondered, “he” let out another pitiful cry:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m your father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He” screamed that name—with hatred and terror:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ELIZA!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to patrons 20220625211750849 and 20200504015545393 for their support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly startled—I realize tomorrow is the recommendation day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanjiang still needs more follow-up reads—I need everyone’s full support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new book ranking ends on Wednesday, so before then I’ll try to write extra chapters and repay some overdue ones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see if we can make one final push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope fate treats me a little better this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you all so much!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s charge forward together—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","53e80bdd2688ca1d277d9b7422d76f0f1157d021851b1a1a69b1f83745701381","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-61","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-59",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
