World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination - Chapter 323

Chapter 323

The Pope was sitting on the throne as the Hayes walked inside the hall . Hayes looked at the Pope before walking towards him . He had dreamed many times to sit in that throne but suddenly he felt that it was not a good place to be . There was a tall statue of Uther behind that throne . The one who was sitting on that throne will have to betray the man in the statue behind him . It required a strong mind and resolution .

Hayes thought in his mind that perhaps they weren’t worshipping Uther anymore but the throne that Pope was sitting on . Perhaps the throne was the god that ruled them all .

“Praise the great Uther! Praise the great Pope!” Hayes walked to stop about 10 meters away from the Pope .

The Pope always disliked when people got too close to him . Uther wondered if Pope was protecting something or concealing it . Or was it just a psychological problem? Did Pope think that anyone who approached the throne was a threat to his rule?

Hayes snorted in his heart: “Great Uther?” Afterwards, he looked at the gigant statue behind the throne . All the paladins were praising and praying for Uther day and night while Uther was in another place and fighting for another person .

“Hayes …” The Pope’s voice was etheral . It seemed as if it was echoing from all over the place instead of a single person .

“Yes, Pope . ” Hayes bowed his head in respect . He didn’t know why but he thought that everything was quite fake at the moment . After the last meeting, he was seeing everything under a new light . Nevertheless, he knew that if he had slightest hostility towards the Pope then only the ashes of his body would float in air after moments .

In addition, he saw everything from a different perspective . Everything in the church was much more clear to him . IT was dirty, hypocritical, full of sins and interests of people controling it .

“What is the result?” Pope asked . Everyone knew that the Pope didn’t like nonsense . He preferred direct questions and laconic answers . The Pope was never interested in the process but the result .

Moreover, each Pope could use a particular spell that was called Great Prophecy . It wasn’t an offensive spell but no one had doubt about the power of this spell . That’s why it was stupid to try to lie to Pope .

“It is the Redemption Battlegear that Duke Xiao gave me . ” Hayes put forward the box and opened its lid .

The sacred light was exuded from the box and covered the hall . This hall was sacred and full of light power but the power of light exuding from the battlegear still could be felt .

The Pope’s facial expression stayed same but he lifted his index finger of the right hand and gently tapped on the throne . IT was a conditional reflex not something that Pope controlled . It was a sign and direct manifestation of the turmoil in Pope’s mind .

The mood swings of the Pope weren’t shown on his face after experience of so many years . That’s why the facial expression on Pope’s face wouldn’t change even if he saw or heard about the most shocking thing in the world . Perhaps it was the reason why the tapping with his finger had manifested in an unconscious manner . However, no one knew about this habbit of Pope .

“I saw the man called Uther . I felt pure divine light exuding from his body . At the same time, he showed paladin magic which was the true spell from the ancient times . I can assure you that he wasn’t cheating as I could feel the power of light from his body . ” Hayes added . His voice was calm but not loud . It was as if he was narrating a small matter .

“Do you mean that he is the real Uther?” Pope’s tone was calm . You couldn’t feel neither fury nor panic but the index finger of his right hand tapped two more times on the throne .

Hayes shook his head: “I’m not sure . We have found ancient paladin magic in ruins too . Using ancient magic doesn’t mean that he is the Uther . Nevertheless, Duke Xiao didn’t seem to try to spread the knowledge of his Uther but only have remarks within the certain range . Likewise, he has characters called Antonidas and others by his side . ”

“He isn’t spreading…” Pope responded .

“They spread in a certain range because they want to win the support of public . . They aren’t interesting in spreading it far and wide because everyone will turn attention to them . This puny Duke is waiting… He willl reveal everything once they are strong enough…” Pope murmured as he looked at the murals in the cathedral . Now he knew why he couldn’t use the Great Prophecy as he willed . The reason was that the real Uther had come back and regained some strength . As a result, the strength of faith that Pope could borrow was getting less . The power of faith was a weird force . There were few people in the continent who knew about the inner works of this force . Pope himself didn’t believe in God or any kind of deity . But he knew that the power of faith that he could control rested upon Uther . People prayed and believed in this faith and that power gathered together for people like him to use . Pope believed that this force had nothing to do with this world but from an alternate reality . There were some books in the Church which told that there were infinite number of planes in the universe . There were some powerful creatures that lived in those planes which were regarded as gods from this dimension . It wasn’t an accident that the creators of the Church used such “gods” to bring people together . This belief had turned into some kind of energy which could be used as the power of faith .

Hayes knew that Pope was aware that Uther was the real one when Hayes heard Pope murmur those words .

Hayes wasn’t aware that all those decades of prayers had put Uther as a god in his heart . It was the power of faith in his body which made up paladin’s strength . It wasn’t just about mana or battle energy . This power of faith was much stronger than ordinary mana or battle energy .

“You don’t seem to be surprised at all… Have you already made decision in your heart?” Pope looked at Hayes . Hayes felt a great pressure over his body .

Hayes nodded: “Yes . . I felt a very familiar feeling from him . . It felt as if I had seen him many years ago… ”

Pope added: “Good…Good…Very good… He is back… ” Afterwards, Pope stood up from the throne . He used a handle to slowly walk towards the back of the throne . Pope looked like an ordinary old man at this moment .
