Chapter 592: First Pope
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Of course! Let me ask you, do you know which generation the current Pope is from?” The Dragon G.o.d asked.
“I…” Jiang Fei could not answer. He really did not know which generation the current pope was from.
“The thirty-fourth generation!” Isabella was clearer about this.
“And how many coffins are there in the tomb?” The Dragon G.o.d asked again.
“Thirty-two.” Jiang Fei counted this not long ago.
“Since thirty-three popes had died, why are there only thirty-two coffins?” The Dragon G.o.d continued to ask.
“I… could it be…” Jiang Fei had an inkling of what was going on.
“That’s right! That little golden man is the mummy of the first Pope. It has the strength of a peak Overlord. If you dare to go in, you will immediately be cut into pieces!” Dragon G.o.d glanced at Jiang Fei disdainfully.
“F*ck! I was wondering why there were no ambushes in this tomb at all. It turns out that the big boss is in there!” Jiang Fei could not help but start cursing at the wickedness of the Luminous Church.
This was absolutely a good move by the Luminous Church. They made the first pope into a mummy that guarded the tomb. With the strength of a peak Overlord, no tomb thief would have a good ending if they walked in there. This was why the Luminous Church was so at ease in regards to the Pope’s Tomb. After all, only G.o.ds could defeat a peak Overlord.
But which G.o.d would dig the graves of others? Moreover, this was only an Overlord Level ancestral grave. Which G.o.d would even waste his or her time?
Even if the Divine Light G.o.d died, the Nephilim King Augustus who hated the Luminous Church so much would not necessarily go and dig the Divine Light G.o.d’s grave. So, he would definitely not dig the Pope’s Tomb. This was not only not beneficial to him, it would also shame him.
“So we came here for nothing?” Jiang Fei said, unsatisfied. It was not easy getting this Treasure Map. They struggled to find the place and they could not take anything home even after coming here. This made him really upset.
“Well… it’s not that you can’t take anything…” The Dragon G.o.d Bennette Straz slowly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Fei.
“Mmm?!” Jiang Fei was surprised. Then, he suddenly remembered the common characteristic of Nagas, that was, they were all greedy!
“What’s going on?” Does the Dragon G.o.d want to join hands with me?” Jiang Fei wondered.
“Hehe! We’re like-minded people, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll help you take care of the little gold man inside and we’ll split the treasures eighty-twenty. What do you think?” The Dragon G.o.d smiled cunningly.
“I get eighty percent and you get twenty?” Jiang Fei asked.
“Nonsense! I get eighty and you get twenty, of course!” The Dragon G.o.d glared at Jiang Fei. If Jiang Fei was not a “like-minded” person, he would not even get twenty percent.
“Well!” Jiang Fei thought about it for a moment and decided not to make a counter-offer to the Dragon G.o.d. After all, he would not be able to do it without the Dragon G.o.d anyway. Moreover, the Dragon G.o.d could just take everything for himself, so Jiang Fei had no right to bargain.
More importantly, Jiang Fei took a fancy to the meaning behind this cooperation. If Dragon G.o.d dug the ancestral grave of the Pope together with him, he could bring this up when it was appropriate. At that time, the Luminous Church would definitely get angry at the Naga Race. Then, it would not be that easy for the Nagas to remain neutral.
“Hehe, now I’m really starting to like the personality of the Nagas being greedy!” Jiang Fei laughed in his heart. It was too hard for Nagas to just walk away if they saw treasures lying there before their eyes. Their greed was too heavy, so even though they had remained neutral for thousands of years, they would offend the Celestials just to get their hands on the treasures in front of them!
“Okay! Deal. You guys just wait by the door!” The Dragon G.o.d said and swaggered into the stone room.
“Who is it?! You actually dare to step into holy ground!” Sure enough, the golden man at the center of the hall immediately awakened as soon as it felt something alive entering the room.
“Buzz!” Just as the golden man roared, its pair of emerald eyes completely flew open and emitted two green laser rays aimed at the Dragon G.o.d.
“F*ck! It attacks you even before you have the chance to speak!” Jiang Fei could see the situation inside the stone room through the projection.
“Hmph!” The Dragon G.o.d snorted. Then, a golden light blocked the emerald rays. At the same time, the Dragon G.o.d waved his hand and a golden dragon claw descended from the sky. All of a sudden, the mummy of the first pope was held down on the ground.
“Roar!” The first pope tried to struggle, but he could not break away from the dragon claw. Although it had the strength of a peak Overlord, the Dragon G.o.d Bennette Straz was an Intermediate Celestial, stronger than the Nephilim King and the Sea Emperor. Against him, the first pope could not do anything at all!
The Dragon G.o.d arrived in front of the first pope in two steps. He reached his hand out and tapped the top of the first pope’s head once. The first pope instantly calmed down and stopped struggling like crazy. It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep once again.
“Okay, come in!” The Dragon G.o.d waved. Jiang Fei and the two girls entered the tomb.
“That looked easy!” Jiang Fei said.
“Want me to let go of him so you can try?” The Dragon G.o.d smiled at Jiang Fei.
“No, he’s all yours!” Jiang Fei quickly shook his head. After he had entered the stone room, he looked at the golden man’s attributes through the mysterious ring. It really had the strength of a peak Overlord. This golden man could definitely kill Jiang Fei with just one touch.
“Okay, let’s divide the loot!” The Dragon G.o.d pointed at the coffins.
“How should we?” Jiang Fei asked.
“Didn’t we already agree on this? Eighty-twenty. I’ll get the short end of the stick. Seven of the thirty-two coffins are yours. You can take the coffin and all the buried treasures inside those coffins!” The Dragon G.o.d said with a big wave.
“Don’t try to trick me! I know that the little golden man in your hands is also worth a ton!” Jiang Fei did not fall for the Dragon G.o.d’s trick at all.
“Hehe… you actually saw through it…” The Dragon G.o.d was a little embarra.s.sed. After all, his behavior just now was pretty much the same as trying to trick a little kid with a lollipop. If this spread out, it would be quite embarra.s.sing.
“I want twenty out of thirty-two coffins. The rest of the coffins and the little golden man is yours!” Jiang Fei shared his own idea. In truth, the little golden man was a peak Overlord, so it certainly worth more than that. However, Jiang Fei could not handle this little golden man, so he had to settle for a little less.
“Mmm… okay!” The Dragon G.o.d agreed after a little hesitation. After all, the value of this little golden man was already more than all the other coffins combined.
“Err, what about the corpses inside?” Jiang Fei suddenly remembered that the coffins did not only contain buried treasures, but also the bodies of the popes.
“What can we do with those things? Leave them here, of course!” The Dragon G.o.d shrugged. He was really here just for the money.
“Hoho, the bodies of these popes have been preserved very well. I have an idea!” Isabella suddenly said.
“Ah?” Jiang Fei was surprised.
“These popes were very powerful when they were still alive. I can extract the essence in their bodies!” Isabella said. Blood extraction was not limited to just Nephilims. People from the Light Faction could also be extracted. It was just that Nephilims could not use the essence extracted from people of the Light Faction. However, Jiang Fei had a lot of girls under him who were from the Light Faction who could benefit from this.
