Chapter 22: Plan

Norn's head was throbbing and his body and bones felt weak at the moment as the burden of using the skill Limit release for only a minute and a half was taxing for his body.

Minerva hurried forward as she recovered slightly her mana and strength to support Norn's body before he falls down.

Are you alright?

Yeah,I'm fine.I just used a new skill and it quite take a toll on my body.

Then Norn take out a Mana potion and an healing potion.He chugged down the healing potion and handed the Mana potion to Minerva.

Here drink this so that your mana recovery would speed up.

Ok,Thanks!

After they recovered and healed up Norn and Minerva headed to the Avendin city.

______________________________________

As Norn and Minerva entered the city gates they could see the crowded buildings clattered around the area and the blue hue stretching out the morning skies.

We entered a tavern to eat breakfast.

As we finish eating our simple breakfast meal from the tavern we heard a group of tavern costumer talking to each other.

Did you hear?

Nomnomnom!about what?

Did you know that the pope is dead?

Really,how did the pope die?

I heard from a friend that he died from an unknown disease.The church people only know that the healthy pope suddenly became weak and bedridden then the next day after that he died.

But some of the church people thinks that this was an assassination to the pope.They know that he might be poison by an undetectable lethal poison.

By the way who would replace the dead pope?

Uhmmm!My friend said that the new pope would be Cardinal Cayn.

We heard the conversation from the nearby table.

Minerva suddenly had a sad and sorrowful expression on her face.

She stood up from her seat.

She would ask them and confirmed if the pope death is true.

Uhmmm!Excuse me!Sorry if I bother the both of you.

I just accidentally heard you conversation.

Would it be fine if I ask you if the Pope's death true?

Ahhh?

Yes,it's true beautiful miss.

This story is from a friend working near the church so the source of this information is really trustworthy.

Uhmmm,ok thanks for telling me.

No problem beautiful miss.

Sniff!!tears falling on her face.

Minerva felt her heart in pain from sorrow and sadness of the death of the kind and gentle pope.

She suddenly hears the death of the pope so the abrupt news really shocked and sadden her.(Norn thought)

Are you okay?

Norn then handed a white handkerchief on her to wiped her tears.

Thanks!

We should leave this crowded place and find a quiet place to rest and talk seriously.

They go to an old inn in the southern part of the city.

Talking with the innkeeper they began completing the procedures to rent a single room.

As they entered the room Norn asked Minerva on what's her plan now that the pope is dead.

To be honest I really don't know what to do know.(There was still sadness and bitterness on her sorrowful face)

She couldn't go back to the church as the new pope wanted to catch her as he was an enemy of humanity a member of the evil organization Wraiths.

She felt weak and hopeless.

Confused and lost that what's she felt at the moment.

Uhmmm!!Well,Minerva why don't you join me?Be my ally.

I plan to create an organization.

An organization that protects and defends humanity from destruction and extinction.

This would be a group that had an unyielding spirit and unbreakable heart to face any evil monstrousity.

It is a fact that you are being hunted down by the evil organization Wraiths and even the new pope want to catch you and offer you to Sphinx the diabolical jackal.

At this point you really doesn't have any choice left.

Yeah,I know Norn.

I would help you so please don't doubt my intentions.

Minerva knows that joining Norn is her last hope and maybe he might become this world saviour someday.

Thanks,Norn I would join you.(Minerva thanked Norn while gazing at him full of gratitude)

First,let's create a new identity for you and second,I can also lend you a hand in finding an S class disguising artifact that would conceal and hide your identity and lastly lets joined the adventurer guild as a party and train before the Noble's academy enrollment.
