I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 26: Participating in the Flower Show

With Gene's help, Ernest took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and even trimmed his hair and shaved his beard.

At this moment, they saw Ernest's appearance more clearly. His long face had a straight nose and thick eyebrows. His facial contours were very three-dimensional. At first glance, you could tell that he was an upright man. This was no different from what Phil Gray saw with the "Eye of Destiny", except that he was more mature and weathered, with a scar at the corner of his eye.

"Really? I was right. He looks so much like the Duke of Surrey." Patrick sighed as he looked at him.

Phil Gray simply told Ernest about their current situation. If they wanted to return to the Vatican, they would have to see the situation of the Gray family. As for them, they could only protect themselves and increase their strength as much as possible.

"What level are you at now?"

"I'm at the Remarkable level, but because of my legs, I can only exert the power of the Blessing level." Ernest seemed a little ashamed and frustrated. In the past ten years, he had made almost no progress, and he just heard that the Knight Commander who betrayed His Majesty had reached the Divine Revelation level.

"It's okay. You're already the best among us." Patrick consoled her, then said hesitantly, "And maybe your leg can grow back."

"Grow out again?" Phil Gray asked curiously.

"Yes, the high-level favored ones of the God of Life, that is, the favored ones at the level of divine revelation and above, can regenerate severed limbs. Well, perhaps the favored ones at the level of remarkable people can also try it." Patrick explained.

"I know." Ernest was not as excited as he had imagined. He said calmly, "But the high-ranking followers of the God of Life are mostly high-ranking members of the Church of Life. Given our current situation, it is difficult to ask them to help."

"I have money...well, I mean, we will be able to return to the Vatican sooner or later. When the time comes, asking them for help will only be a matter of a word from my cousin, right?" Patrick looked at the only twenty gold coins left in the space and changed his words.

Ernest shook his head and said nothing.

But Phil Gray and Patrick both understood that what this knight wanted most was to protect their safety before they returned to the Vatican, and after they returned to the Vatican, perhaps his role would not be so great.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Don't forget that we have a future teammate who is a highly regarded God of Life. Maybe he has some solution." Phil Gray said with a smile.

"Yes, the flower show is tomorrow, right? Hehe, I have to reserve a room for our new teammate in advance." Patrick also laughed and took out the contract from the space stone.

Influenced by them, a faint smile appeared on Ernest's face.

The flower show arrived on time. For other cities, holding a flower show in winter is simply unbelievable. However, for the city of Dur, which is full of vitality in spring, summer, autumn and winter, winter is the perfect time.

They need bustle, colorful flowers to dispel the biting cold of winter and the white snow covering the sky and the earth, and most importantly - to show the miracle of life.

The guests in the pub walked out together.

"Let's wait until the sun rises higher before we go." Phil Gray looked at Patrick who was shivering.

Patrick shook his head, the coldness in his body not enough to quench the fire in his heart.

"No, no, no, I can't wait to see my future teammates perform."

Ernest was leaning on a cane. Gene wanted to support him, but he refused. His back was straight like a sharp sword.

"It's you guys, are you going to see the flower show too?"

They turned around and saw the man wrapped tightly in his coat. It was the businessman from yesterday.

He had a kind smile on his face.

"Yes."

"What a coincidence! I've been to many cities, but the flower show in Dur is the best. Some of the flowers are ones I've never heard of."

The businessman said with emotion, and then he remembered something and asked:

"By the way, what happened to the homeless guy from yesterday? I saw you brought him to the inn upstairs. How is he now?"

Phil Gray and Patrick did not answer, but looked at Ernest.

The businessman didn't understand what was going on, so he looked at him, only to find that the disabled man looked quite familiar.

"I am the homeless man from yesterday."

"Ah?" The businessman looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. "I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry for the offense."

"fine."

They walked together to the square, where the snow had been cleared. Colorful flowers were placed along the way, forming a symbol of the Church of Life - a nascent bud.

There were so many people visiting that it was even a bit crowded. They looked towards the center of the square, where there was a newly built platform, and behind the platform was a row of seats, where sat beautiful and exquisite noble ladies, the mayor of Dur City, and the pastor of the Church of Life.

"They are the judges of this flower show. Every contestant can display a flower that he or she has collected or cultivated. The more unique and rare the flower is, the higher the score will be. The first place winner will receive a bonus of 1000 gold coins provided by the Church of Life and the City Lord's Mansion." The businessman introduced to them.

"So this is what a flower show looks like." Patrick looked very interested.

Phil Gray frowned slightly. This seemed a little different from what he saw with the Eye of Destiny that day. This was an ordinary flower show, while the scene he saw was a flower show of those favored by God.

Thinking of this, he asked cryptically:

"Is there another flower show?"

The businessman was a little surprised when he heard this. He lowered his voice and said, "There is indeed a flower show. It is attended by the God-favored and held in the Cathedral of Life. How did you know about it?"

This businessman was indeed well-informed. He was an ordinary person, but he knew about the existence of those favored by God. However, since he knew something, there was no need to hide it.

"We are the ones favored by God. We have a friend who is also a person favored by God. He is going to participate in the flower show and we want to go and take a look."

"You are actually the ones favored by God!" The businessman almost exclaimed, but managed to control himself. "Oh, I'm actually curious too. Why don't we go and see together?" His eyes lit up, because he had always been very curious about these things.

"of course can."

They quickly rented a very spacious carriage in the square and headed straight for the Cathedral of Life in Dur City.

In the carriage, Phil Gray learned that the businessman was named Ron, and that he purchased and sold food from various places in the Western Continent.

Since knowing that they were the ones favored by God, the merchant seemed very excited, but he did not ask all kinds of questions. Instead, he kept talking about his understanding of the ones favored by God and the various miraculous events he had heard before.

Soon we arrived at the Cathedral of Life.

"There are far more people coming here today than usual. It seems that they are all here to participate in the God-Favored Flower Exhibition." The businessman looked at the people coming and going with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
