I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

"Ahem, I did like Miss Edith before. Besides the fact that she was kind and pretty, there was another reason. It actually had something to do with your father, my uncle..." Patrick suddenly scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"Ah? My father?" Phil Gray was puzzled and looked at Frank, signaling Patrick not to reveal too much.

Patrick certainly understood. He said cryptically, "He used some means to predict that my future lover's name would be Edith. I looked for her for a long time. When I was a guest in Kao City, I happened to see a girl in the garden. She made me feel moved. Later, I asked the servants of the city lord's mansion and found out that her name was Edith. I felt that she was my destined lover, but she was always cold to me and treated me as an ordinary friend. I was very disappointed. Sometimes I wondered if my uncle had made a mistake, but I still missed her. When I went to the wedding, I also thought there would be a turn for the better, but there wasn't. She and her groom still walked under the statue of the god."

"I always thought I liked her, but now thinking back, it might just be the influence of her name that made me obsessed. In the days after I left Kao, I found that I didn't find it that hard to accept. I gradually forgot about her and used friendship to heal the wound of love. Haha, in fact, there was no wound. It was not until the appearance of this elder Edith that I knew what true love was and what fate had arranged for me!"

Phil Gray patted him on the shoulder, "So how did you win the heart of this pirate boss?"

"There's no need to capture her. Fate made me fall in love with her, and she fell in love with me at first sight. After all, I'm so handsome, right?" Patrick said proudly. He touched his fiery red hair. "Edith and I are the only ones with red hair in this sea area. If this isn't fate's arrangement, what else could it be?"

Phil Gray didn't quite understand this destined love, he just felt it was a little too hasty, he could only pat Patrick on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, I hope you can be happy, maybe you can ask your uncle to give you a grand wedding on the sea later."

Patrick was shy instead. "It's too early! Let's talk about it when you get back... um, home, cousin."

Phil Gray smiled.

"Cherish the people around you, don't wait until you lose them to regret." Frank seemed to remember the time when he was still on earth, but that time was too long ago, like a wall covered with mottled moss, and it had become blurred.

The past is only the past.

"Of course, this Miss Edith is really amazing. Don't look at her young age and being a woman. She has been wanted by both the Lanxi Empire and the Puna Kingdom for five years, but she is still a big pirate who dominates the sea!" Patrick said with a smile.

This doesn't seem like a good achievement, does it? Phil Gray's eyes changed, but Patrick continued to add, "Don't get me wrong, the pirates she led never did anything bad. Instead, they helped some poor people. Colin was just greedy and liked to talk, but he wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally. These pirates had experienced some bad things. For example, some of them were oppressed by the nobles of a certain kingdom and couldn't make a living, so they came here to become pirates. Although Edith is not a believer in the God of Destiny, but a favored one of the Goddess of the Sea, what she did has been changing the fate of many people."

"Oh, such a girl is indeed worthy of admiration."

Frank came over and said, "From what you said, you are from the area of ​​the Destiny Cult?"

"Yes, but I believe in the God of Death." Phil Gray pointed to the Holy Stone of Death on his wrist, "It was that knight who led me to this path of faith."

This is not a lie; he heard this advice after passing through the death tunnel.

Now that he thought about it, the deceased he met in the cemetery also said that he sensed a familiar aura on him, and might have known something. If he had the chance to go back, he would like to ask again.

"Oh, that's really interesting. A friend of mine once mentioned some ideas about whether gods choose believers or believers choose gods. However, he was persecuted after leaving behind a book, and the book was listed as a banned book and burned. Now it seems that the families of the Cult of Destiny can also have followers of other gods, which fully confirms his point of view. Unfortunately, he died too early." Frank said regretfully.

Phil Gray thought of the legendary Mr. Dwyer and consoled him, "Don't be sad. His teachings have not been lost in history. Today, someone has inherited and carried them forward. At least many people know about them now."

"is it?"

"Yes, if there is a chance for me to visit the Light of Wisdom, I would be happy to summon you out, let you see your former church, and discuss with the old gentleman who now believes in the theory of choice."

He was also very curious about what these old men who were both scholars and believers were like. After all, he really couldn't see any wisdom in Mr. Frank.

Except that the plaque on his cabin was written in ancient script.

"That would be great!"

"Well, I have summoned you for too long. You are a ghost after all. Staying under the light of the Day Prophet for too long will cause harm to you. I have nothing to do at the moment. Do you want to go back and rest?" Phil Gray asked with a concerned look, but in fact he just wanted to discuss some other things with Patrick, things that this ghost must not know.

"Okay, then you must call me back in a few days, no, a day. I want to see other places!" Frank urged. He was really afraid that Phil Gray would not call him again. He added hastily, "Next time I come out, I will bring you something fun."

"Okay, Mr. Frank, bye!"

"goodbye!"

The black fog flashed by, and the ghost returned to the abyss.

"Cousin, have you upgraded again? Can you summon ghosts now?" Patrick asked enviously.

"Yes." Phil Gray recounted what happened after Patrick left, including their experience on the Blacktooth Shark, the fake Pope they met, and what happened to him in the abyss.

"Let me think about it. In terms of age, there are only two of us in the direct line of the Grey family. There are indeed a few people of similar age in the collateral line. However, how could they dare to pretend to be your cousin and cheat you out of money?" Patrick thought carefully. "To be honest, I can't think of who that guy is!"
