In Brasov, the capital of the neutral nation, Li Huailin's party appeared at the entrance of the Church of Light's headquarters with Dr. Lakwald. They were here for the key item. Yes, it was a crown, but it wasn't the crown of any country's emperor. It was the crown worn by the Church of Light's Pope.
Why would something left behind by Dr. Lakwald's ancestors become the crown of the Church of Light's Pope? No one knew. Even Dr. Lakwald himself didn't know. However, he was certain that the ornament in front of the crown was the key item left behind by his ancestors. They needed to remove it from the crown. That was why they were here.
"Hey, what do we do now? We can't just run in and tell the Pope that we need your crown. Please give it to us, "the Jade Summoner said.
"Why not?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Yes, the Pope is benevolent. When he hears that the continent is in danger, he will definitely give it to us," Dr. Lakwald said innocently.
"Really? Is it that easy? The players here can't even enter the door, "Raging Wind said in disbelief.
"Sigh, you guys don't understand." Li Huailin put his hands on his hips and snorted. When the Jade Summoner saw Li Huailin's action, she facepalmed. Yes, she knew that this was Li Huailin's signal to start acting tough.
"Do you have a way?" Ru Feng Seems Real said cooperatively.
"Of course. I have a way to deal with any situation that you think you can't." Li Huailin took out the Church's uniform from his bag and put it on. He then took out the Church's Cardinal's badge and put it on. Because he was wearing heavy armor, his outfit was a little out of place. However, it didn't matter. The guards at the door had already noticed.
"Lord Bishop!" A few guards of the Vatican immediately bowed to Li Huailin.
"Lord Cardinal?" The people around them were stunned. Not only had Li Huailin become a duke, but he had also become a bishop in the Church? Indeed, although Li Huailin had been a Cardinal for a long time and was in charge of the Church of the Human race, not many people knew about it. Not even NPCs knew about it, let alone players. Cardinal Li Huailin had never appeared in the Church District, so no one had ever seen him. Therefore, the few people who learned about it were shocked.
"Hmph." Li Huailin smiled faintly, "Of course, I can do whatever I want. Would the Radiant Church dare to not give me face?"
"…" Wind didn't know what to say. This guy was too good. Up until now, there had been players who had become high officials, but no one had ever become a Priest in the Church. This was because they didn't know how to earn Favorability. He didn't expect that Li Huailin had already become a bishop. Even Wind was a little impressed.
"Lord Cardinal, it's great that you're here. The Supreme Pontiff is currently holding a meeting. I've already sent someone to look for you, but they couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to already know about it. However, I'm a little late. The meeting has already begun. Please go in quickly." The guard hurriedly said to Li Huailin.
"Church meeting?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised. It sounded like a big matter. He didn't expect to run into it, "What is it?"
"This … Someone of my rank …" The guard had a confused look on his face. How could a gatekeeper like him know what the entire church was talking about?
"Oh, I understand." Li Huailin knew when he saw the guard's expression, "Right, this is my attendant. I forgot to bring my Holy See badge. It shouldn't be a problem for them to come in together, right?"
"Did you forget to bring them?" The guard asked subconsciously.
"Yes, do you have a problem?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … No, no, there shouldn't be a problem with the person brought in by the Lord Cardinal." The guard immediately said. Although he felt that there was a problem, he didn't dare to stop Li Huailin, a Cardinal. The Radiant Church had a total of four Cardinals. Apart from the Supreme Pontiff, the Cardinals were the most powerful. As a guard, how could he dare to question Li Huailin?
"En." Li Huailin nodded, then waved his hand to the people behind him and said, "Let's go."
"We're in just like that?" Twinkle Orange was slightly taken aback. Everyone knew that players couldn't enter the Holy See's headquarters. Up until now, no player had ever said that they could enter. She didn't expect that it would be so easy for her and Li Huailin to enter.
"What do you plan to do?" Jade Emperor asked as they walked towards the Cathedral. "Although he's a Cardinal, his rank is lower than the Supreme Pontiff's. What if he refuses to give it to you? Do you think it'll work to reason with the Supreme Pontiff? "
Although the Supreme Pontiff's hat was only an external object, its value wasn't limited to its symbolic meaning. Just like how the crown represented the Emperor's throne, the Supreme Pontiff's hat was also a symbol of the Supreme Pontiff's position. Otherwise, wouldn't the crown be worn as a symbol of coronation? Now that Jade Emperor said that he wanted the crown, wasn't it obvious that he was eyeing the Supreme Pontiff's throne? Jade Emperor didn't know what kind of person the Supreme Pontiff was. However, if someone asked him to lend the crown to him and he wanted to save the world, would the Supreme Pontiff just say, "Okay, I'll give it to you?" No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem possible.
As soon as Jade Emperor finished speaking, Li Huailin suddenly stopped. Of course, everyone else stopped as well.
"What's wrong?" Jade Emperor asked.
"You have a point." Li Huailin nodded. Although he didn't know how the Storyline would develop, Li Huailin was currently considering … the issue of time. Yes, it was obvious from the quest that this quest would take a lot of time. Judging from the quest's name, this quest was called the Blessing of the Four Elements. Therefore, it was very likely that he would have to deal with more than just the wind element in the west. Previously, the four corners of the continent were plagued by elements. Based on this situation, it was very likely that after dealing with the wind element, he would have to deal with the other elements. This was only the first step of the quest. It was likely that the second and third step would be the same.
In that case, time was a bit of an issue. In any case, Li Huailin and the others would have to travel to the four corners of the continent. Not to mention the time spent fighting, just the time spent on running was enough. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a big deal. After all, this was an S-rank quest. It wouldn't be a loss to spend a few days or even a week or two to complete it. However, the problem was that Li Huailin didn't have time. He would have to participate in the next trial tomorrow afternoon. He only had a little more than a day left. Just running alone would be too late.
And now, what about the progress of this quest? It wasn't even the beginning. They hadn't even gotten the key item. Li Huailin thought for a while. Since there was a quest, then they should be able to get the Supreme Pontiff's hat. However, it definitely wouldn't be that simple. There must be some conditions that the Supreme Pontiff would have. Maybe he would have to ask them to complete the quest, or maybe he wanted them to have a good impression of him, or something else. Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be given out just like that. Li Huailin felt that it was impossible for them to not be busy doing a few rounds of the quest.
As soon as the Jade Emperor said this, Li Huailin thought about this problem. He didn't have much time. If he were to waste it on running errands for the Supreme Pontiff, then he might not even be able to start the first round of the quest tomorrow. Therefore, he needed to save some time here.
So how could he save time? Indeed, it was as the Jade Emperor said. If it was in the Human Empire, then no one would dare to disobey him. After all, he had a high position. However, this was the Church of Light. Although Li Huailin was a Bishop, his position wasn't as high as the Supreme Pontiff's. Of course, it was true that Li Huailin had a good impression of him in the Church. However, the problem was that if he had a good impression of him, would he give him the Pope's hat? No matter how good your relationship with the Supreme Pontiff was, if you asked him for the crown, he would chop you to death.
Yes, Li Huailin thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Even his own Supreme Pontiff wouldn't give it to others so easily. Of course, he could get it in the end, but it would take time. Li Huailin didn't have it, and he didn't want to waste time here. So what should he do?
"Hmm …" Li Huailin thought for a while. The others didn't disturb Li Huailin at this time.
After standing for a while, Li Huailin suddenly understood, "I'll go. It's such a simple reason, and I actually thought about it for so long."
"Do you have a solution?" asked the Jade Emperor.
"Yeah, I'll just kill the Supreme Pontiff. Isn't it fun?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"…" Everyone was silent. They stared at Li Huailin speechlessly.
"Why do you all look so convinced?" asked Li Huailin.
"No, you're going to kill the Supreme Pontiff?" Asked the Jade Emperor. "Hey, this is his headquarters. Why do you want to do something like this?"
"No matter how I look at it, he won't give it to us easily. Then we'll just steal it," said Li Huailin.
"No, where do I start …" The Jade Emperor didn't know how to persuade him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Look at the Supreme Pontiff. He's a high-level NPC. He's definitely very powerful. How are we going to fight him? Besides, look at the NPC guards here. Are we going to die later? "
"Okay, okay, listen to me." Li Huailin suddenly interrupted the Jade Emperor. He then walked to the side of the garden, picked up a brick, and said, "There's no problem in this world that can't be solved with a brick. If there is, then give me two."
