Chapter 155 – It’s Not That I’m Afraid

It wasn’t that the Vatican was afraid of Lei Yu, but rather it was because Lei Yu knew the secrets of the labyrinth. The secrets involved were something even Prophet Kalchas couldn’t understand completely, but these were only the thoughts of the Vatican. The fact was the labyrinth didn’t really have many secrets at all. Lei Yu only got rid of some guardians and nothing more, but then again, Lei Yu was indeed a powerful expert. After angering him, they could definitely subdue him, but then the Vatican would suffer heavy losses. That was basically the formidable effect of a Sixth Order Warrior, so the Pope wasn’t stupid enough to risk it.

After sending everyone in the hall away, it was now easier for the Pope and Lei Yu to discuss things.

“I’m not sure how your holiness wants to cooperate with a small character like me? Could it be that you want me to join the Vatican and become one of your faithful followers? If that’s the case, then that’s considered a pretty lousy trade off for me.” Lei Yu jokingly said.

Being able to attain the position of a Pope meant he wasn’t a petty person, but someone extremely shrewd. When dealing with Lei Yu or anyone for the fact, he would always step around cautiously. “Mr. Lei Yu, you are too fond of joking around.”

“Let’s get to the point. You want to know the secrets of the labyrinth, right? Your holiness, I can tell you outright that there’s no other secrets, except for a passageway that transports you back a thousand years to ancient Greece.” Lei Yu directly cut to the chase since he despised it when two people danced around a subject.

“Mr. Lei Yu, can you swear by what you’ve said to the almighty God? Prophet Kalchas once said that the labyrinth held an earth shattering secret, so could it really be as you’ve mentioned?” It was obvious the Pope didn’t believe Lei Yu.

“I really don’t know how Kalchas could live for over a thousand years, and I definitely don’t know why he suddenly died a decade ago. But I did see him a thousand years ago and he must have known something was going to happen to arrange our meeting. I’m not going to say anything else unnecessary, so if your holiness wants to take back the old ring, here you go. We’ll just pretend that I never entered the labyrinth.” Lei Yu directly took off the storage ring while waiting for the Pope’s answer.

The Pope wasn’t a fool. Perhaps there was a reason that Lei Yu didn’t want to reveal the secret, but even if there weren’t any secrets after all, he still wouldn’t take back the ring from Lei Yu. Doing that would definitely cause problems with their relationship, so it was more cost-effective to win over a friend with the ring than to gain an extra powerful enemy.

“Ha ha! Mr. Lei Yu, as I’ve said before, you really are too fond of joking around.”

Lei Yu slightly smiled, his heart was definitely unwilling to return the storage ring. “About our cooperation, I’m wondering what his holiness has in mind?”

“Mr. Lei Yu is really a direct person. The terms of our cooperation is very simple, you merely have to help the Vatican eradicate the Dark Council, so that we can accomplish the task set forth by our almighty God.” Said the Pope as he closed his eyes in sincerity.

Lei Yu waved his hand in haste. “Your holiness is overestimating me; I don’t have the good fortune of being blessed by God. As I’ve said before, I’m merely a little side character and can’t achieve anything big. There’s also one thing you should have already thought of – the Dark Council has visited me. They’ve also discussed cooperating with me but I, Lei Yu, still have a bit of intelligence and didn’t agree to their offer. I know how powerful the Vatican is, so I didn’t want to be saddled with such troubles. You can see my plight right?”
