Chapter 345 - Episode Forty-Five - Pope Sateria (10)

What do you think, Abel-sama? Abel-sama is too good a person to be just a sorcerer in a remote area! Would you be willing to become the Pope of the land and lead the people?

There was no hesitation on Saterias face when she said she wanted to make me the Pope.

However, not only am I not familiar with the Levi Church, I have nothing but bad feelings towards Levi.

In the first place, I dont think Im capable of being the head of a religion or a country.

U-Um, I dont think Im as good a person as Sateria-san think I am and I think youre getting your information wrong. And I cant become a Pope like that. I dont know anything about Levis religion

I have no idea what Sateria expects of me, but Im sorry, I have no reason to say yes.

She said she was doing some research on me, but I cant help but think she was just doing a random search.

Maybe Levi was restricting her actions, so she couldnt move too far.

Ive heard that Abel-sama is troubled by the restrictions on magic in the laws of the Dinrat Kingdom, but if Abel-sama becomes the Pope, he can interpret the scriptures as he pleases! Besides, the Riveras Kingdom has an abundance of rare magical ores, and many of the ancient and unexplored magical tablets have been preserved! There should be no shortage of research subjects! I will gather the best sorcerers from all over the country and prepare the best sorcerer division in Riveras Kingdom! There is no one who will give up on their magic training too soon! With the survival of the country at stake, they will learn from Abel-sama until they fall!

Are you serious!?

I couldnt help but lean forward and raise my voice.

Peter, with a stunned look on his face, looked at Sateria, Me, and Levi in turn.

He hadnt expected this, as expected.

Sateria Are you planning to sell your country to the devil, after doing all that research? Are you insane!? You must have been so overwhelmed by the pressure that you became a fool!?

Peter pointed his finger accusingly at Sateria.

Sateria You! You are trying to control me by bringing in Abel, who is against me! How long do you plan on belittling me, this Levi. Dont be ridiculous! Suddenly, youre handing over the position of Pope to a man from another country, of all places, to the Dinrat Kingdom, who has captured the other three High Priests? Theres no way the people be convinced?

Levi opened his mouth wide and shouted.

The people of Riveras Kingdom are getting slightly aware that Im an ornament. If Levi had appointed you, no one would have complained publicly. Besides, Abel-sama is said to be able to handle Levi-samas spear.

Sateria said to Levi with cold eyes.

You, You want me to declare to them that Abel will be placed at the center of the Riveras Kingdom? Theres no way Im going to do anything that would strangle me like that!

If you cant do that, then Levi-sama will just be erased by Abel-sama here, and I and the country will die in peace. I wont even use the Dragon Vein if Levi-samas selfishness causes this to break up!

Sa, Sateria, you are you trying to control the sovereignty of Abel and the country and turn me, me, into a mere decoration? You do you really think that this is acceptable ?

Levi called out to Sateria, either to persuade her or to plead with her.

Yes, thats right. Im very sorry Levi-sama, but if we dont do this, Riveras Kingdom will be no more.

Sateria bows to Levi nonchalantly.

In order to gain the trust of the Dinrat Kingdom, it is best to have a sorcerer of Peters caliber at the center of the kingdom. In addition, we need to weaken Levi-samas influence in order to convince them. Besides, without the three of the Four Great Priests, we need more alchemists than Lord Penrath to suppress the civil unrest in the various regions. Levi-sama, this is a hole that has widened because of your selfishness. With Abel-sama alone, he can fill it all by himself.

Levis eyes were bloodshot, and he moved his mouth as if he was going to say something.

But no words were spoken. A little later, a groaning sound escaped Levis mouth.

I I, a god, am deceived and Im going to be tamed and killed by this little girl ?

As soon as he said this, his three eyes closed.

Peter was no longer taunting Sateria, but was looking at her with a serious expression.

I see, so you were prepared to go that far.

F-Finally, Levi and Peter gave up ?

Does that mean, Eh, I-Im going to be the Pope?

I glanced at Levi.

He gave me a very sad look and then turned his face away.

This was a complete change from his initial belligerence.

It seems that he had entrusted my defeat to the dragon vein.

It was a good thing that Sateria had the key to the vital dragon vein.

If it had been any other high priest, things would have gone horribly wrong.

What Is Abel really going to become the Pope of Riveras Kingdom?

Mea asks me timidly.

I look sideways at Sateria.

She gave me a very beautiful smile.

It seems so

I wonder if I have to fill out the Four Great Priests.

Weve got me and Sartellia locked in, and then weve got Altamir and Old Pen?

The collector I dont want him. Maybe he wont come even if I call him.

No, we dont know yet. There might be even more amazing people sleeping in Riveras Kingdom.

What if we increase the number of slots to seven?

It seems like Abel is getting further away.

Mea said sadly.

I crossed my arms and thought for a moment.

Do Mea also want to become Levis high priestess?

Are you sure!?

Meas voice bounced and she looked at Sateria.

Sateria nodded with a smile.

Yes, yes, Its not a problem if its Abel-samas recommendation. If Abel-sama is willing to take on the job, I will manage to get through some of the difficulties. The Riveras Kingdom has a lot of problems, but lets work together to turn it into a peaceful country.

A peaceful country Ah!

Mea suddenly shouted as if she had a flash of inspiration.

Is something wrong, Mea-sama?

Sateria asks Mea with a smile.

Oh, no, Im sorry,
