I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

"We do have many unsatisfactory aspects. It would be great if we could get your help!" Eli looked excited, and his shaking hands even caused him to spill a lot of wine in the glass.

Fake Phil said kindly, "Sometimes destiny doesn't necessarily move in a certain direction. The gods actually point us in many directions. Rather than saying that the gods determine our destiny, it's better to say that we choose our own destiny. As a follower of the God of Destiny, I can sometimes see the results of these directions. If I tell you which directions to choose, you can avoid some bad consequences."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendulum. Phil Gray took a careful look at it. There were some delicate patterns carved on it, such as the intertwined flowers of fate, and on the three ripples was a person bound by iron chains, symbolizing the river of fate and the shackles that the power of fate gave to mankind.

"Who of you wants to go first?" asked the fake Phil.

Phil Gray kept thinking in his heart, is this his skill? Or is this pendulum a treasure? What is his purpose in pretending to be himself to help strangers?

Phil Gray really couldn't see this man clearly.

"Me!" Caroline had always wanted to expose the identity of this liar, but she had no direct evidence and she had to cooperate with Phil Gray and others, so when she heard the liar's question, she couldn't hold back.

"Miss Caroline, do you have any difficult decisions to make? Or do you want some oracles to guide you to avoid getting into trouble in the future?" The fake Phil didn't seem to mind Caroline's dissatisfaction with him, and asked sincerely.

"Hmm..." Caroline was in a dilemma. Her life seemed to have been going well without any difficulties, and she didn't feel that her fate had reached a low point. She could only ask casually, "I want to know when my god will give me the motto to reach the next stage."

The fake Phil nodded, indicating that he already understood. He stretched out his arm, brought the pendulum close to Miss Caroline, released the white power of destiny from his fingertips, and then closed his eyes.

The pendulum began to swing on its own, and the white divine power emitted a soft light through the clear unknown material. The pendulum hanging in the air rotated clockwise for a while, then counterclockwise for a while, and slowly stopped after about half a minute.

The fake Phil opened his eyes, but the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a worried expression.

Although Caroline knew that he was impersonating the Pope, his identity as the Blessed One of the God of Destiny could not be wrong. His solemn expression made her feel a little uneasy. "What's wrong? I just want to know when my God will give me the words to enter the attention level. Why do you look like that?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and his aura became defensive yet somewhat aggressive.

Fake Phil shook his head. "Miss Caroline, I do see a few directions for your future. Are you the one favored by the Daytime Prophet?"

"Yes." Caroline nodded, but she was somewhat certain about his ability. After all, the power of the Day Prophet was not as easy to identify as life and wisdom, and she had not mentioned it to him, but he already knew it.

Fake Phil continued, "You will soon receive the advice of the Daytime Prophet, but this will take you to an extremely dangerous situation. The worst outcome is death, and you only have a one in ten chance of avoiding this dangerous consequence."

"Ah?" Caroline exclaimed after hearing this. She seemed to have not expected to hear such news. She asked half-doubtfully, "How can I avoid such consequences? What is that one in ten chance?"

Fake Phil sighed and said, "In the classics of our Destiny Religion, it is mentioned that destiny has three elements. The first element is 'fate', which is a person's innate endowment. For example, some people are nobles, some are commoners, some are ordinary people, and some can become gods' favored ones. The second element, 'luck', is the acquired experience, which is usually presented as a winding river, the river of destiny. It starts from the starting point of 'fate' and has ups and downs. No one can present a straight line. Therefore, the river of destiny has many tributaries, flowing to different results. The third element is 'probability', which can be understood as the probability of some destiny events. By changing the 'probability', some unfavorable events can be reduced. In a figurative way, it is to broaden the tributaries of good luck so that your river of destiny can flow in the direction of good luck, rather than falling into the tributaries of the trough or even heading towards a deadly situation of exhaustion."

After hearing this explanation, Caroline nodded in understanding, "So this one in ten probability can be increased?"

"Yes, I just used the pendulum to take a quick look at your future fate. But to get more accurate information or change your fate, you need to set up a very troublesome ceremony. Through the ceremony, you can receive some instructions from the gods to help you make the right choice at the critical moment when your fate is diverted." Fake Phil sighed.

"Why bother? Can you operate it?" Caroline asked anxiously, not knowing whether she had completely believed what he said.

Phil Gray thought carefully about what he said in his mind. He seemed to have heard about the three elements of destiny, but he did not understand it thoroughly. Ultimately, it was because he had not systematically studied the theory of the God's Favored.

But now it seems that this fake Phil is quite capable.

"I can arrange this ceremony on the ship, but I lack some necessary materials. If I were still in the Vatican, these materials would naturally be within my reach, but I was traveling abroad and did not bring these materials with me." The fake Phil frowned and said with some regret.

"What materials are needed?" Eli asked with a smile, and pointed upwards, "Isn't our Gold Coin No. 3 known for having all the resources you can get as long as you have gold coins?"

"Oh? To set up this ceremony, you need 50 blue crystals with a purity of % or above, grams of powder made from pearls transformed from deep-sea mermaid tears, the spiritual fire of a commander-level skeleton undead, and a crystal of the light of dawn. The last item, this lady should have it herself, right?" Fake Phil listed the materials one by one, each of which was extremely precious.

Caroline's mouth twitched. She felt that her life was not worth these precious materials, and she doubted whether his purpose was to cheat money. But after hearing the last sentence, she unconsciously believed the fake Phil's words a little more, because there was indeed a crystal of the light of dawn in her space stone!
