I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 248 Selection News

After arriving at the city of Lampuja, they were lucky that the city's lockdown had been lifted, otherwise they would have had to force their way in.

The style of the city is no different from that of Catomero, with black houses or white bone buildings everywhere.

In addition to believers decorated in death style, there are also some undead creatures passing by from time to time on the streets.

Phil Gray was no longer interested in this. He looked at the sky and said to his companion, "Let's buy two tickets for the big train tomorrow morning and then find a hotel to rest for the night?"

"Okay." Eli had no objection to this.

They found the stop where the train stopped, bought tickets, and checked into a nearby hotel.

"Hello, what would you like for dinner?"

As soon as they went up to the third floor and looked at the rooms, a young man wearing a black tuxedo, with deep red eyes but an extremely handsome face walked over.

"Vampire?" Eli asked with interest.

"Yes, but we generally call ourselves the blood clan. Would you like to try some of our clan's specialties?"

"No, we're not interested in human blood. Just something normal people eat."

"Okay." The boy left respectfully.

"I didn't expect this to be an inn run by vampires. I was wondering why the boss just now looked so noble."

Eli couldn't stand the innkeeper downstairs. He felt that he lacked the service enthusiasm that the customer is God.

"How did vampires come about? Were they transformed from humans?" Phil Gray was a little curious. He had seen them in the abyss before and thought that after people died and went to the abyss, they could turn into various undead spirits, such as vampires, ghosts, etc. However, he clearly felt that the young man just now had the breath of a living person.

“They are all just the bloodline of a quasi-god from long ago. That quasi-god mastered the law of blood and could gain power from blood. He had hoped to become a subordinate god of the God of Death, but he escaped from the abyss back to the human world for a human woman, angering the God of Death. Not only did he lose his original position as a god, but he also completely perished because he could not return to the abyss.

"But during the hundreds of years he spent in the human world, he left behind many descendants. These descendants were able to inherit his bloodline and gain strength through blood. Even if they were not favored by the gods, they were able to possess physiques and speeds that surpassed ordinary people. Therefore, they were very arrogant and regarded themselves as true nobles."

Although Eli had been away from the Church of the Dead for a long time, he had not completely forgotten what he had learned in the church academy as a child.

"I see. The eternal loneliness after becoming a god and the brief enjoyment in the human world are weighed differently by everyone."

Phil Gray did not think that giving up his position as a god for a woman was something worthy of criticism. Different people have different pursuits, and since he was not the other person, he had no right to say anything.

"Yes, if it's for my sister, I'm willing to give up any godhood."

"Okay, I know you're a sister-con. No need to stress it anymore."

Phil Gray laughed.

After a while, the vampire boy brought dinner, which included two plates of grilled lamb chops, vegetable salad, fish roe fried rice, and wine. It was quite a sumptuous meal.

"Thank you."

Phil Gray has always been satisfied with inns that provide meals, no matter who the owner is.

"If you two have any other needs, please let us know." The young man said enthusiastically after setting the dishes.

"We two just came back to the Church of the Dead from somewhere else. What's the latest news in the city? What's the latest news in the church? You can sit down and talk to us."

Phil Gray knew that the servants in the inn were generally well-informed.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many knights in the martial arts dramas on Earth in the previous life who would specifically ask the waiters.

"No need to sit down. Thank you for your kindness. There are many major events that have happened recently. First, our Pope went to the Abyss a few days ago. All cities have held celebrations. The celebration in our Lampuga City has just ended."

"We know this."

The celebrations in Catamerlo are still fresh in their memory.

"There is also the selection ceremony in five days. His Majesty did not designate a successor before he left, so the elders of the Divine Church have formed a selection committee to choose the successor to the Pope from among the four Holy Sons. The entire election process will be open to all believers."

"Five days later? So anxious?"

"Yes, there must be someone in the church who makes the decisions."

"Can you get to the headquarters in such a short time?" Phil Gray frowned. It was a good thing that the Pope did not designate a successor to the Holy Son, so there was no need to compete with the new Pope for the position.

But this time is too rushed.

It takes about five days to take the train. If they are lucky, they can arrive on the same day, but if there is any delay along the way, they will have to compete with the new Pope elected by the public when they arrive.

That means being enemies with all believers of the Church of the Dead.

"Do you two want to watch the selection ceremony of the new Pope? It doesn't matter if you can't make it. For this selection ceremony, the Elders have introduced their latest invention from the Church of Creation. Relying on the holy objects of the three elders, all cities in the Church of the Dead can see the scene of the four saints competing in real time." The vampire boy said excitedly.

"No, we are going to participate in the selection, not to watch."

Phil Gray said.

"Ah? You two are... the Sons of God? But I remember there was only one young Son of God, the other two were older, and there was one Saintess..." The vampire boy wondered, and even began to doubt the gender of one of them, but he never thought that the customer might cheat him.

"That's about right." Eli raised his eyebrows. "Go find me an envelope and a pen. We need to write a letter to the elders. The selection can't start without us. I have to ask them to postpone it as much as possible."

"Ah? Okay, okay." The vampire boy hurried down.

After a while, the boy didn't come, but the vampire boss who had been rude to them when he came in came up.

He brought a pen and paper, still looking extremely noble, and sized up the two guests again. After confirming that they possessed extraordinary strength at such a young age, he asked, "Are you the hidden saints in the church?"

"That's right. Because we are so outstanding, the elders hid our identities from the outside world. There are only four saints in the open. We rushed back this time to participate in the selection of the new Pope. The elders thought we would arrive soon, but we were delayed for a while." Eli said pretentiously.

"Oh, really? Then I look forward to your performance. I'll treat you two to your daily expenses today. These are tickets for a large train that departs at twelve o'clock tonight. I'm sure you two will arrive on time if you take this train." The vampire boss took out two tickets from the space and placed them on the table.

In an instant, Phil Gray and Eli both felt that the boss looked much more pleasing to the eye. The noble and reserved demeanor was clearly the behavior of a true aristocrat, and they withdrew their previous dissatisfaction.

"Thank you. When we become Popes, we will help you promote your hotel and won't let it continue to decline." Eli said with a smile.

"Looking forward to it." The vampire boss chuckled, but his eyes were always on the other customer.

His intuition as a vampire told him that the man in front of him would be the opportunity for their vampire clan to rise again.

But no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't find anything special about him. Was his statement about participating in the selection of the Pope just arrogance or was he really confident?

Is it a scam or is it true?

"We still have to write a letter to the elders before we leave, so I won't talk to you for long. After the dust settles, you can come to our headquarters and we will be happy to entertain you." Phil Gray said politely.

"Okay." The vampire boss nodded slightly at them, turned and left. A true nobleman who knew his limits.

Hopefully his investment will pay off handsomely.

Phil Gray considered his words and wrote a lot on the letter paper, while Eli on the side clamored to add some content. Finally, after half an hour, he completed the letter to the elders.

"To the cathedral at headquarters?"

"The cathedral receives many letters from people every day. Our letter is too insignificant. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to send it directly to the residence of a certain elder."

"Great Elder?"

"Well, I happen to know his address." Eli said excitedly, as if he had done some kind of mischief. "I hope it hasn't changed over the years, but it definitely hasn't changed. That guy's mansion has been inhabited by dozens of generations. It's just that he probably didn't expect that there would be people other than those old guys who knew his lair."

"Um, how about sending another copy to the cathedral, or sending copies to other elders as well, so we can do it in multiple ways?"

"good idea."
