Chapter 1044: Arguing with the Pope

The Pope's voice seemed to ring in his ears, and Jiang Chen looked around stiffly.

In this wide outer hall of the temple, only monks and nuns were coming in and out, and there was no sign of the Pope.

Moreover, they behaved as usual and obviously could not hear the voice.

"Your Holiness, are you talking to me?"

Jiang Chen quickly calmed down and asked a question respectfully to the air.

As soon as this was said, all the staff of the Church looked at him in astonishment.

This was exactly the effect Jiang Chen wanted.

He did not like the way of communication where he was in the light and the other party was in the dark, which was not good for him.

For these ordinary members of the Church, the Pope was undoubtedly sacred and glorious. He was the embodiment of justice and authority, and also the benevolent father of supreme goodness and universal love.

And Jiang Chen's loud question was to bring the Pope to the light.

As expected, the Pope's voice sounded again, and this time everyone heard it. He said, "'Why don't you go see Sanqiu?' This is naturally for you. Is there anyone else who wants to take Sanqiu away besides you?"

For a moment, everyone else in the hall bowed and saluted to show respect.

Even if only the Pope's voice came, it would be worshipped.

"Your Highness, I promised to take Sanqiu to travel around the continent, but the ascetic monk suddenly took him away. Naturally, I want to bring him back."

Immediately, Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts very straightforwardly. In front of the Pope, there is no point in beating around the bush.

"Sanqiu is a child who has a fate with my Church of Light. The ascetic monk will naturally lead him to the light, and he is willing to pursue the light."

Pope Odin's voice echoed in the hall, sounding both kind and detached.

Under this set of rhetoric, Sanqiu became a devout believer of light, and he stayed voluntarily.

"Your Holiness, you are right. Sanqiu is destined to be with the light."

Jiang Chen knew that he could not refute the Pope, but he also had a way to deal with it. He then continued, "That is why I am willing to take on the task and take Sanqiu to travel around the continent. I want to be his guide and take him to pursue and spread the light."

"So that's how it is. Traveling around the continent to pursue and spread the light is naturally a right way."

The Pope's words were full of relief, but then he said, "However, Sanqiu is currently studying the Holy Bible of Light in the Temple Garden. It won't be too late to travel after he understands it."

"..."

Jiang Chen knew that it would be a long time before Sanqiu could understand the so-called Holy Bible of Light and then travel.

After all, the Pope has the right to define "understand". If he says he understands it, then he understands it. If he says he doesn't understand it, then he doesn't understand it.

After thinking silently for several seconds, Jiang Chen finally found a way to deal with it. He said slowly: "Your Holiness, there is an old saying in my hometown, which is 'What you learn from books is shallow, and you must practice it to know it'. I think that traveling and reading the Holy Bible at the same time can help Sanqiu understand it faster."

"What you said makes sense. In this case, you should go to see Sanqiu and ask him what he wants."

The Pope was silent for several seconds before he slowly said something.

Although he had said this before, the previous one was active, and this time it was passive, and the two meanings were completely different.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I will explain the reason to Sanqiu, and I believe he will understand it!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and responded loudly.

After that, he turned and walked towards the depths of the temple.

"Uh..."

Just after taking two steps, Jiang Chen paused and asked awkwardly: "Your Holiness, how should I get to this temple garden?"

However, no voice responded to him.

"Fanchen Saint, I'll take you there."

At this time, a nun came over and said very respectfully.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

...

More than ten minutes later, under the guidance of the nun, Jiang Chen came to a remote place behind the temple.

This is an artificial garden with fragrant grass and colorful flowers.

As soon as Jiang Chen stepped in, he saw several figures pruning flowers and trees.

These figures are men and women, the men are tall and burly, and the women are tall and graceful, and their looks are extremely outstanding.

What's surprising is that these people have a pair of wings of different colors behind them!

"Is this... the Winged Clan?!"
