The Ancients World Chapter 160: The Holy City VII

Chapter 160: The Holy City VII

The Pope looks at hard with severe discipline. Many of the guards make their way over and prepare for a fight, but The Pope holds up his hands and stops them. "You are either extrely arrogant or extrely desperate. I can tell by the look in your eyes that its desperation. If you knew how many people wanted to speak with The Blind Speaker, you would understand why I can't give you special treatnt. Please leave before I have the guards throw you out." I don't move an inch from my spot.

I lean my head down and look him directly in the eyes. "After all the horrible shit I've seen in this city, it's safe to say that the church is no different than the people they let surround it. You will go down as the worst Pope ever. Sitting in your ivory tower, looking down on everyone. No wonder the coalition was ford. You sure as hell can't be trusted." I see the twitch of his eye at my comnt, and he wears a giant frown. "If you won't help a single person. How do you have the ego to think you can help billions. If anyone is arrogant here, it's you." He is now fully mad.

I don't think anyone has ever spoken to such a high figure in society. Many people around us are looking at with intense scrutiny. The guards are even thrown for a loop. "In all my years as Pope. This is the first ti anyone has ever spoken to like that. The anger I feel now is enough to abuse my power and have you hung from the gallows. However, perhaps the reason your words make so mad is because they are true." The Pope fully waves the guards off. "If you wish to et her, follow . She is the one who decides who sees her or not once we get there." I un-tense my body and look back at Sally with a smile.

I can see her smile under her hood. The Pope begins to walk to a very old door, and we follow him. "Please do not speak out of turn when we et her. She is very powerful and very wise. The long flight of stairs will give both of us ti to mule over the things said." I nod my head as we walk down the stairs. We walk down flights and flights of stairs. All of the rooms we pass are filled with treasures the church keeps locked away. After several flights, we reach the bottom floor, and a massive door is now in view. "Walk up to the door. It's up to her if you speak to one another or not." I walk up to the door. Sally tries to follow . The Pope stops her. "Only him." I look back at her and nod in reassurance.

I walk up to the door and knock on it. There is no answer, I push on it, and it creaks open. I see a single white hovering light in the center of the room. In an instant, it transforms into a see-through ghost woman. "You have finally co... We must speak alone..." She waves her hand, and I'm sucked into the room as the door slams behind . "You have grown powerful since you first arrive here, Cera..." I tense my body and back up slightly. I have no idea how she knows my real na. "You have co for another piece to your power, at least the clue to where it's at." I nod my head, and she smiles slightly.

She is doesn't look past her 20's and while still a ghost. She is very beautiful. "I want the clue to the location of my mana aura. My quest tells this is where I can get a clue on its location. It also says that I need a powerful ally at the end of this quest." She nods her head as if already knowing the details of the quest. She waves her hand again, and our scenery changes. I don't know the place, but I'm sure she'll explain it to . She conjures up and table and tea set. She then changes into a physical form. She sits down at the table and indicates for to join her.

I walk up to the table and take a seat across from her. "I know everything about you, Cera Adamo. It was you who made the wish after all." She knows everything, doesn't she. She might know what's happened to the tiline fully. "You have caused great trouble with the decisions you've made—especially with your wish. Breaking the flow of ti is a serious thing, and you have abused that to the fullest extent." She doesn't have to tell about my mistakes. I would have made a smarter wish if I anticipated all of this happening. "However, a wish is a wish, and in my opinion, you couldn't have made a better one for yourself. Though it has co at the cost of billions of lives." Now, this is sothing I don't want to hear.

I lean back in my chair, trying to relax from this stressful situation. "Are you going to tell where I can find my mana aura or not? Lecturing is too late at this point." She sighs and snaps her fingers. A scroll appears, and she tosses it to . She takes a sip of tea and waits for to read it. I open the scroll and its instructions. As I read, I get a notification. I open my quest logs and see that my divine mana aura chain quest has changed.

[Chain Divine Mana Aura Quest]

[Description: Now that you have reached tier 1, you must undertake the real challenge. While many mana aura quests are the sa, it's a known fact the rarer a class is, the harder the quests will be for that class.]

[Objective 1: Go to The Valley of Fallen Gods.]

[Objective 3: Return to The Holy City to speak to The Secret Keeper of Titans.]

[Difficulty: Divine]

[Rewards: Divine Mana Aura]

[Hidden]

[Hint: You will need a powerful ally to help you at the end of this Chain Quest, you will not be able to defeat the boss with your current strength.]

My quest has been updated in large amounts. I've never heard of a place called The Valley of Fallen Gods. "Don't let the na deceive you. There are no actual fallen gods there. There was a large battle between very powerful beings, mortals with godlike powers. They killed each other in a battle for supremacy as only the strongest could rule in the end. No one made it out alive. The Mana Aura that you seek is there." I nod my head and stand up. I bow to her slightly and make my way to the out-of-place door in this open field. "Be cautious, though Cera. What's in that Valley is unknown even to ." I bow my head in thanks once again.

I exit the door and see that Sally is patiently waiting. The Pope looks at with strange intrigue. "You are very lucky. She doesn't speak to everyone. Which begs the question about who you are... I'm still having a hard ti placing your face. Now that your business is done, I take it you are no longer going to need anything from the church?" I confirm his words with a nod. "What you said early, your words are true. I hope one day they won't be." He snaps his fingers, and we are now back in the mass gathering chamber. We quickly make an exit and get out of view of any guards.

Sally tugs on my shirt. She tilts her head, trying to communicate for to tell her what happened. "We are heading to The Valley of Fallen Gods. I have a marker on my map about 4500 miles north. The bad news is most of that territory has probably been taken by monsters..." Sally flinches at the thought of monsters. She doesn't have to be afraid anymore. She has her own power and as we walk down the street to the exit of the city. A worldwide announcent goes off, and it puts a smile on my face.

[World-wide Announcent: A player has discovered the legendary class: Battlemind! This is a one-of-a-kind class and has been removed from the potential options!]

[World-wide mission: The coalition of Free Kingdoms want's any information regarding the player with the legendary class battlemind! Rewards include legacy-grade weapons and armor!]

Hailey did it. She has her legendary class. Now she has a bunch of attention. I wonder if she'll keep herself hidden like . "Wow... A legendary class... Only one grade below yours..." I hear her whisper. The church must have announced it to the people of Gaia just now. I don't have to worry about Hailey now. "I take it from our direction we are leaving for the valley right now." I nod my head confirming her words. The Valley of Fallen Gods here we co.
