Chapter 272 The Young Pope
Chapter 272 The Young Pope
Just when Bai Hao thought that the Life Goddess Sect's search activities had nothing to do with his own Kalia, the casual chat with those scholars in the academic institute once again sounded the alarm for Bai Hao.
"My child, your red-haired sister seems to meet the requirements of the Life Goddess Sect for a new priest."
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao frowned and looked at an old elf with white hair and beard. His name was Javier. Bai Hao was deeply impressed by the double-auger drill he invented a few days ago.
He originally thought that he was an elf scholar specializing in machinery, but after chatting with him for a few days, Bai Hao felt that he was indeed an old elf who had lived for thousands of years and knew almost all knowledge.
"A new priest?"
"Yes," Javier stroked his white beard and nodded close to Bai Hao, "I am the honorary scholar consultant of the Goddess of Life Sect. When I was drinking with the bishop yesterday, I heard that the top leaders of the sect headquarters were looking for a priest..."
Bai Hao immediately thought of what he had seen and heard on the way to the academic institute, so he told the red-haired girl about the missing person notice in her hand.
"Oh, that was a flyer sent out three days ago. The sect's requirements for finding people have long been changed, and they are even more detailed!"
Bai Hao couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "How exactly is it?"
"Well, let me think about it. She is between twelve and thirteen years old, a red-haired apprentice of fire magic, and not from Scott... Oh, and one more thing, she is not a pure person."
"..."
This is completely about Kalia. It is just listing all the characteristics of Kalia, and it is just short of just reading Kalia's name.
So Bai Hao said without thinking too much: "It seems that it has nothing to do with my sister. Her hair is actually silver like mine, but she dyed it red because she likes it. Moreover, she is still unmarried and her body remains pure..."
For a strange sect to be looking for someone so precisely, regardless of whether its purpose is good or bad, we must hide first, and then let the Campbell family's secret department investigate thoroughly before making a decision.
If the reason they were looking for Kalia was the same as the reason the Moon Goddess Sect was looking for him, then Bai Hao could still communicate with them well. After all, it is not advisable to hit a smiling person.
But if the Cult of the Goddess of Life has evil purposes like the Burial Abyss Organization, huh, Bai Hao doesn't mind confronting it. Kalia is definitely under his protection.
He is not only the young master of the Campbell family now, but also has the behemoth Moon Goddess Sect behind him. He has the ability to protect Kalia from being harmed by others!
Thinking of this, Bai Hao continued to ask tentatively: "I wonder what the purpose of your sect's search for the priest is? Why are you mobilizing so many troops in Scott?"
Javier shook his head and said softly, "I don't know about that, but this is an order directly issued by the Pope, so it must be a very important matter."
Afterwards, Bai Hao discussed magical theories with the scholars as he had done in the previous few days, and left the institute with the two girls at noon. He did not let Kalia wear a hood or wrap herself up tightly.
The three of them left the institute slowly, just like they had done in the past few days. Bai Hao knew that any sudden unusual behavior would make him appear guilty, and he didn't want Kalia to be found by the sect for the time being.
Bai Hao must first figure out what the intentions of the Goddess of Life Sect are. He doesn't believe that something that can make the sect's Pope take it so seriously would be simple. If not handled properly, Kalia's life might be in danger.
……
In the inner city of Scott, in the Cathedral of the Goddess of Life.
With a smug look on his face, Quilandi said to Xifan: "After the unremitting efforts of our followers over the past few days, we finally found 172 girls who meet the Pope's requirements. It's half a day faster than expected!"
Xifan nodded slightly after hearing this, then gracefully took off his hood, looked at Quilandi and said softly: "The girls designated by the Pope are very special. I have to check each girl carefully before I can finally confirm it."
"Haha, Archbishop Xifan, please do as you please. I have already settled the girls in the central church. I believe the person the Pope is looking for must be among them!"
"Huh, that's best!"
Watching Xifan hurriedly heading towards the Central Church, Quilandi gently shook his head and said to himself, "After all, the Pope has just ascended the throne. It is normal for a teenager to like girls of the same age, but he actually came to me to find a human. His taste is really special."
The missionary nearby was curious when he heard this and asked, "Aren't the elves' sexual desires extremely low? And they basically look down on us humans, right?"
"Hmph, what do you know?" Quilandi curled his lips. "Which of those people in high positions is normal? It's normal to have some minor quirks. The elf archbishop of Gibis is also fond of homosexuality. I heard that he needs at least ten handsome orcs to serve him every night before he can fall asleep."
"Oh, this is outrageous. Bishop, you are an upright person and you always think about us, the believers."
Quilandi listened to the missionary's flattery without saying anything. I am upright? I am already over seventy years old, how can I not be upright? How can I be as dissolute as those young bishops?
Alas, I used to be a girl killer, but unfortunately I am old now and my body does not allow it.
……
Because of Kalia's matter, Bai Hao did not personally go to Cook to get his stealth cloak in the afternoon. He had to hurry and find out the reason for Kalia's physical abnormality.
Looking at Kalia standing naked in front of him, Bai Hao opened his divine vision with an indifferent expression. He wanted to carefully observe every detail of Kalia's body.
"Kalia, I will release various magic or divine arts later, and you just need to block them like you did the other day."
"Well, after we block it, can we just..."
"No, you've been targeted by the Cult of the Goddess of Life. Time is running out. I need to understand the abnormality of your body before they find out!"
"Ok."
"Close your thighs and stop trying to seduce me!"
"Oh……"
Campbell's secret department was very efficient. Before evening, Bai Hao received a very detailed investigation report. Just as Bai Hao had guessed, the Cult of the Goddess of Life was indeed looking for Kalia.
"The Pope's revelation?"
"Yes, young master!"
Michelle carefully considered her words and said seriously, "Not long ago, their pope had a dream while preaching in the United Kingdom of Elves. After waking up, he said he wanted to find Miss Kalia."
"Does the Pope of the Goddess of Life sect also dream? I remember that high-level elven wizards usually have difficulty even falling asleep."
"Young Master, the current Pope of the Goddess of Life Sect is just a young elf who is only fifteen years old."
"A fifteen-year-old teenage elf?"
"The old pope died of illness last year, and the current pope is his only offspring."
Bai Hao nodded and said, "I know this, but I didn't expect that the Pope who is over 3,000 years old has a child who is only in his teens. This is not as simple as having a child in old age."
Bai Hao then asked, "Have you investigated the reason why he was looking for Kalia?"
"Hmm..." Michelle said with an unnatural expression, "It seems that the young pope wants to take Miss Kalia as his concubine or his only wife. He thinks she is the wife given by God."
"ah?!!"
Bai Hao immediately jumped up and shouted with a ferocious expression: "He wants nothing!"
