章節 353: Actually I'm the Pope
Beta could see that this young man's eyes were filled with stubbornness, as well as a deep hatred.
For something like this to happen, it could only mean that this young man's close relatives had met with misfortune. Beta thought for a moment, then asked, "How long have you been investigating this matter?"
"At least four months." The young man's tone was abnormally cold. "My sister disappeared four months ago in Charonte City. I couldn't find her no matter what, and I couldn't find her dead or alive."
Beta asked, "Could she have already left Charonte City?"
"Impossible." The young man shook his head. "I have friends at every city gate in Charonte City. If my sister left, they would definitely know."
"You have quite a lot of influence." Beta thought for a moment, then asked, "What is your relationship with Old Bush?"
"He is my adoptive father."
No wonder! Beta suddenly had an idea. "I can bestow upon you a certain amount of power, but of course, it will be temporary. You can continue to rely on your own power to track down the murderer, and when you've found him, come back and tell me. After this matter is over, I will take back that power. What do you think? "
Beta could remove the contract with any Round Table Knight at any time, because he was not worried that the Knight would bite back at him. And now, he found this young man very pleasing to the eye. As a lord, he had a good eye for people. Although he could not see through a person's nature at a glance, he could at least see a person's general character, whether they were a talent, whether they were a talent, and whether they could be groomed.
"I believe that everything in this world comes with a price." The young man's expression was one of disbelief. "What price do I have to pay in order to obtain power? My loyalty, or my soul? "
"I'm somewhat interested in your loyalty, but I can forget about your soul. I'm not a demon. " Beta smiled casually. "The price you have to pay is to help me investigate the truth behind these matters. My intuition tells me that the enemy hidden in the shadows is very likely a vampire. If an ordinary person were to face him, it would be impossible for them to survive. So, when you investigate these matters, once you get close to the core truth, it will be extremely dangerous."
"So I need power, right?" The young man's eyes flickered, and then he shook his head and said, "I don't know what a vampire is, but I can tell from your words that it seems to be a very powerful evil creature. I don't think you can directly bestow me with the strength to fight against him. "
This young man was very cautious. Beta increasingly felt that he could become a competent Knight. "What I gave you was only the seed of power. If you want to grow stronger, you have to work hard. In addition, although you're just a seed, you can still be stronger than ordinary people at the beginning. Although the gap between you and a vampire is so big that it's hopeless, at least you'll have two to three percent more chances to survive. "
The young man was stunned for a moment before he said, "You are the most straightforward noble I have ever seen."
Beta shook his head. "That's because you've seen too few nobles."
"Alright, I accept." The young man chuckled coldly. "It doesn't sound like I'm losing out. Of course, I can't tell if there's a trap in it, but in order to find my sister as soon as possible, I'll take the risk and trust you for once."
"A wise choice." Beta snapped his fingers, and Jessica jumped out of Mystra's Mansion. Beta pointed forward and said, "Make him a second-class Knight."
Jerry looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in surprise. As an ordinary person, he rarely interacted with professionals because professionals looked down on ordinary people.
For ordinary people, everything about professionals was magical. The same blunt knife, in the hands of ordinary people, was hard to chop firewood, but in the hands of a professional, cutting rocks was as easy as cutting bread.
He watched the beautiful girl walk toward him, and for some reason, he suddenly fell to one knee.
The girl tapped him lightly on the shoulder with a dagger, uttered a few words of vows, and then a terrible pain came over him, and he did not even have time to scream before he fainted.
"Huh, such a big reaction, he's a good seedling." In a trance, he heard that person's voice, ethereal and unreal.
He didn't know how long it took, but when he woke up, he found himself lying on the ground.
"Did I get tricked?" That was his first reaction when he woke up.
Subconsciously, he jumped up, only to find that his jump was at least two meters high.
After a thud, he landed on the ground in a squatting position. He maintained this posture for ten seconds, then really stood up.
He looked at his hands and moved his feet, feeling as if there was endless energy emerging in his body. And most importantly, he could see a strange floating window in front of him, on which a lot of words and numbers were written. For some reason, he actually understood what these things meant.
In addition, he found that he actually had a reconnaissance ability.
Trying to use this ability, he suddenly had a lot of information in his mind just by looking around.
This was the so-called power. The young man clenched his fists tightly. If he had this ability from the start, he would have found out about his sister's disappearance a long time ago.
Although he didn't know if it was too late now, having power was still better than not having power at all.
The young man suddenly ran to the place where his sister had disappeared. It was a dark alley, and apart from a few beggars, there was only the disgusting smell of feces. Because it had been too long, even with the reconnaissance ability, he could only get some unimportant information. But the young man didn't give up, and immediately went to the next place.
Beta was shrouded in Lesser Invisibility as he followed behind the young man. Beside him was Emma, who was also shrouded in Lesser Invisibility.
"You're the most extravagant spellcaster I've ever seen. Almost all of your spells are cast with scrolls." Emma curled her lips slightly. "You know a lot of magic. Since you're so talented, why don't you become a magician?"
"A magician." Beta shook his head slightly. If he had chosen to be a magician, his path would definitely be different from what it was now.
Indeed, he knew a lot of magic. If he had chosen to be a magician, his combat ability would definitely be much stronger than it was now. But Beta didn't think that the future Divine Nobles were necessarily worse than the Magicians. Also, Beta had a different feeling about the profession of Divine Nobles. He really wanted to know what would happen when the Divine Nobles became Demigods.
It was something that he couldn't do in the game, and it was also his obsession.
Seeing that Beta didn't want to say more, Emma tactfully didn't ask anymore.
The two of them followed the young man to the river. The female corpse had already been moved away, but Jerry was still very serious about looking around.
"What is he doing?" Emma found it strange. "What kind of ability did you give him?"
"I guess his profession is a scout," said Beta slowly, "After so many Knights of the Round Table, I found that there is a pattern to it. If the conferred person already has a profession, his profession won't change. If he doesn't have a profession, the profession that he wants most will appear, not the most suitable one. "
Emma frowned. "Although I understand that you have a special ability that can turn non-professionals into professionals, I still don't understand how you do it. It's almost like a baptism. It's said that only the Popes of the major temples have this ability." Emma frowned.
Beta had been worrying about how to explain his special ability in the future. After hearing that, he thought of something and said, "I am indeed the Pope of the Church of Woking, the Pope."
After a brief silence, Emma patted Beta's arm heavily. "I didn't expect such a dull person like you to be so funny."
"It's true. The Goddess Woking appointed me personally." Beta shrugged. "You can ask Shirley if you don't believe me."
There was another brief silence.
Emma's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Really!"
"Alright, I believe you. I didn't expect you to be the Pope." Emma squeezed his face with his fingers, making it into a crumpled mess. "But in my impression, the Pope should be an old man like this. You're too young. You don't look like one at all."
"Actually, I'm more than 300 years old," said Beta half-truthfully.
"I'd be a fool to believe you." Emma shook his head. "Alright then. Lord Pope of the Church of Woking, you've successfully baptized another believer. I also have a question. Can you baptize me too? It should increase my strength. "
"If I really do that, the Goddess of Storms will definitely descend and start a war with the Church."
Emma was a little disappointed. "You're right. Sigh, Pope. I really didn't expect that the person who keeps running around with us is actually a Pope."
"You're not the Saintess yourself!"
"It's different. The Saintess is just a name." Emma smiled. "The Pope is a powerful figure. He's as powerful as the king. I don't understand. Since you're the Pope, why do you still want to be a noble? It's against your identity, isn't it? "
"I can't help it. Our goddess has been sleeping for too long." Beta smiled. "People don't really remember her name now. After a while, when her name spreads all over the world, I, the Pope, will naturally live up to my name. Well, the situation has changed."
Jerry, who was in front, finished investigating the corpses and then hurried to another place. After three times in a row, he seemed to have gained something. When he was on his way to the next location, he found three men in black blocking his way.
Seeing them, Jerry only hesitated for less than a second before he turned around and ran away. Seeing him, the three men in black immediately chased after him.
Beta and Shirley followed closely behind. Although they weren't Assassins, with Secondary Invisibility, they wouldn't be discovered by the people in front of them.
As Emma jogged, she asked, "Should we help him get rid of those three men in black?"
"No, lest we startle the snake, wait until he is really in danger."
