I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 204 Team Reunion

"You're right, it's time to change everything, but it's not that easy to change..." The old man sighed, his thin body revealing helplessness and desolation.

The forces on the island who support sacrificing the Dawn God's favored ones to light the lighthouse are too powerful. This comes from their obsession with light.

If the problem of darkness cannot be solved fundamentally, there is no possibility that their concept will change at all.

"Perhaps we are here to change all this. To tell you the truth, I am here at the will of God, to make light truly return to this island."

Phil Gray said slowly that he believed that the advice given to him by the Day Prophet to light the lighthouse did not mean that they had to use their lives as fuel, but that there were other solutions.

The old man looked at him in disbelief, "Really? The gods haven't abandoned us?"

"Yes, although you have killed His followers, He will not abandon anyone who believes in light. I just hope that after you gain light, you can atone your sins to these innocent people and wash away the sins in your bodies with your actions from generation to generation!" Phil Gray pointed at the stone tablet and said sternly.

"Okay, I believe you." The old man's eyes were filled with tears.

Somehow, he felt that what this outsider said was so true, he really believed that their gods had sent messengers to save them!

"Elder Mi, you are here. I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere. You didn't know that we have a distinguished guest!"

At this moment, a hoarse male voice accompanied by several footsteps appeared in their ears, and then two elderly men with the same gray hair came over, and behind them were many familiar faces.

Phil Gray was slightly startled. It turned out to be their team.

Elder Mi's face changed quickly, and he put away his previous expression and became extremely calm. He stroked the marks on the stone tablets with his fingers, "Yes, let me take a look at them. Are these the distinguished guests that Elder Li and Elder Mu mentioned?"

He shifted his gaze from the stone tablet to the person who came.

Elder Li pointed at the crowd behind him and said, "Yes, Elder Mi, you would never imagine that most of these distinguished guests are followers of the Dawn Cult. I never thought that one day we would be able to meet so many people from the Dawn Cult. We are so lucky!"

He looked at Elder Grant and the knights, his eyes filled with fanaticism and a hint of greed.

Elder Mu standing beside him was also excited as if he had seen a god, "You are here to save us, right? Light, we are about to have light!"

Phil Gray sneered in his heart. Before, he might have thought that these islanders were longing for light and expressed his respect to them, but now it seemed that their eyes clearly wanted to eat them alive and use them as fuel to light the lighthouse!

Perhaps the anger in him was a little too strong, and he felt a cold gaze sweeping towards him.

"Elder Mi, who is this? He is not a servant of the temple, right? How did he enter the temple casually?" Elder Li's eyes suddenly fixed on Phil Gray and asked with a puzzled expression.

Phil Gray felt that now was not the time to reveal his identity. He wanted to freely explore the real situation on the island instead of being surrounded by these two old guys and listening to their lies.

If I had followed my friends from the beginning, I might not have known all these inside stories.

Thinking of this, he signaled Elder Mi with his eyes, wrapped his head tightly with his black robe, huddled his body, and looked scared.

Elder Mi glanced at him and said indifferently, "This is the person who was sent to the temple to learn knowledge a few days ago. I saw that he is quite smart and can be trained later, so I brought him with me."

"Oh, that's great. Over the years, the intelligence of the island residents has deteriorated so seriously that it's not easy to find a few smart people!" Elder Li believed his words and said with emotion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Elder Mi, you are in charge of managing the supplies on our island. If there is any delicious food in the warehouse, please take it out to entertain our guests." Elder Mu said.

"No, we're not hungry, it's just that one of our companions is lost. Please help us find him on the island." Martin walked forward and said anxiously.

Phil Gray saw that the others also looked worried, and it seemed that they were all concerned about their own safety.

I should find a chance to tell them that I'm fine later.

“Oh, are your companions also followers of the Dawn Divine Cult?” Elder Mu’s eyes lit up.

"Yes." Martin nodded without thinking much about it.

Elder Grant looked carefully at every part of the temple with a serious expression.

"Okay, don't worry, we will definitely help find it." Elder Li patted his chest, "I will send someone to lead a team to search. Elder Mu, please introduce our temple to these guests first."

"Okay, everyone, please look. This stone tablet was built to commemorate the pioneers on our island who pursued light. A thousand years ago, the island fell into darkness. It was the pioneers who led the people to build five lighthouses and used their lives to bring light to the island for three hundred years. The names behind them are also heroes who made great contributions to the pursuit of light. They lit the lighthouses one after another and brought light to the island. Therefore, they are here to be admired by our generations..." Elder Mu pointed at the stone tablet and told the story passionately, completely concealing the darkness and conspiracy behind the story.

"Light the lighthouse?" Elder Grant grasped the key point.

"Yes, we also have a request for you." Elder Mu knelt down in front of them suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

"The reason why our island believes in the sun and respects the Dawn Cult is because only the Dawn Cult's favored ones can help us light the lighthouse. So I hope you can help us light the lighthouse. This is not difficult. It only requires a little bit of your divine power. It's just a small effort for you, but it can help more than 100,000 people on our island embrace the light again! We will also carve your names on the stone tablet to remember your kindness!"

Elder Mu spoke with tears in his eyes and looked at them with expectant and pleading eyes.

If the truth was not known, who in the Church of the Dawn could refuse such a request in the face of such a group of poor believers who still worship the sun in the darkness?

Just a little bit of divine power...

It was ridiculous. Phil Gray watched Elder Mu's performance coldly.

Elder Mu continued, "We can first light the lighthouse in the center of the island, which is near the temple. When its light illuminates every part of the island, your companions will also be able to see it, and will they come to join you?"

Elder Ge Lan and others did not seem to doubt his words, but agreed to Elder Mu's request and planned to light the central lighthouse first.

"Go and help them." Elder Mi said to Phil Gray who was standing next to him.

"Aren't you going? Elder Mi, don't you want to see the moment when we usher in the light?" Elder Mu asked puzzledly.

"I need to hurry and take inventory of the supplies on the island. The savior will be here in a dozen days, and I need to prepare to report the situation on the island to him." Elder Mi said calmly, "This kid is very smart. Just tell him what to do."

"Okay." Elder Mu nodded, glanced at Phil Gray, then turned to look at the guests with a flattering smile, but after being in the dark for so long, he did not notice how distorted his expression was.

Phil Gray nodded, pretended he couldn't speak, and followed them.

While Elder Mu was walking in front, he gently mobilized his power of destiny, and then quickly walked to Ernest's side.

Ernest sensed it the moment the power of destiny appeared. He turned his head sharply and saw Phil Gray lift up his hood, wink at him, then quickly put it down and continued to hunch over, pretending to be a native of the island.

The moment he saw his Majesty, he breathed a sigh of relief and put aside the worries of many days.

He tapped Eli's arm with the hilt of his sword, then pointed to the black-robed man following them.

Eli also realized it and smiled playfully.

Their boss saw them but did not recognize them. It seems that there is something interesting going on here!
