Chapter 413: Chapter 88: Memory Recovery (Part 1)_4
"If Ah Dai were just an ordinary civilian, your grandfather would never allow you to associate with him. This is because, you are my granddaughter, and your father, Xuan Ye, is the most probable candidate to become the next Pope. Within the church, you have a status equivalent to a princess. With your identity, how can you develop feelings for an ordinary civilian?" The Pope, smiling at Xuan Yue’s pale face, said, "Don’t rush. Your grandfather hasn’t finished speaking yet! Although your grandfather opposes you having relationships with people of unequal status, he doesn’t object to your association with Ah Dai. You once mentioned that Ah Dai might be the Savior of the Millennium Catastrophe, although your grandfather can’t confirm this claim. However, the prophet Pu Lin from the Pu Yan tribe may have predicted correctly. Judging by the current circumstances, his assumptions are gradually becoming reality. Regardless of whether it’s Ah Dai or you, both of you have achieved what ordinary people can’t do, and your progress has been very rapid. If you indeed are the Saviors of the Catastrophe as you and Ah Dai claim to be, then this is a decision made by the Sky God. How can your grandfather oppose the Sky God’s arrangement? Child, I know you are missing him very much right now, wanting to find him as soon as possible. But you have been apart for three years. Without your grandfather’s assistance, you may not be able to trace him even if you search for years. So, patiently listen to your grandfather’s words." Xuan Yue, her eyes shining brightly, asked joyfully, "Grandfather, do you know where Ah Dai is?"
The Pope smiled and replied, "Although I don’t know where he is, I am confident that I can help you find him. Ah Dai is not the same person you knew. During the three years when you forgot him, many things have happened in the mainland. A year ago, your Ah Dai had already become a death god known to everyone. In the Empire of the Sunset City, at least thousands of lives were lost at his hands."
Upon hearing the Pope’s words, Xuan Yue trembled all over, took a step back with a pale face, and said shakily, "No, it’s impossible. Ah Dai could not have killed so many people. He’s so kind, how could he become the Grim Reaper?"
The Pope sighed and said, "I am not too clear about the specifics, but you don’t need to worry too much, those killed by Ah Dai were all members of the dark forces in the Empire of the Sunset City. He seemed to have killed to rescue the elves, and those who were killed by him almost deserved to die. What your grandfather wants to tell you is that Ah Dai’s abilities are now vastly different from when you were with him. I’m afraid, even if your father wanted to defeat him now, it would be a struggle."
Xuan Yue’s eyes flashed with surprise, she said with relief, "Ah Dai has the Sword of Hades, of course ordinary people can’t deal with him."
The Pope shook his head seriously, "No, what your grandfather was saying is all under the premise that he does not use the Sword of Hades. The Judgment Chief once personally tested his skills and almost fell at his hands. You should be familiar with your uncle’s abilities."
Xuan Yue opened her mouth wide in surprise and muttered, "Grandfather, you’re not joking with me, right? My uncle is, apart from you, the most formidable person I have ever met. Oh, but also, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang is quite powerful too. It’s impossible for Ah Dai to be able to confront my uncle."
The Pope gave a bitter smile, "If it were not for the fact in front of us, I would not believe it either, but it is the truth. Do you remember nearly a year ago, I used the Divine Healing Technique in the Prayer Temple? You asked who I used it to save, that time, it was for Ah Dai. Although Ah Dai nearly defeated your uncle with his strongest attack, he himself paid a heavy price. The strong attack launched by himself severed many of his crucial meridians, and he nearly died."
Xuan Yue was extremely anxious, she grabbed the Pope’s clothes, "Grandfather, why didn’t you tell me this earlier? Ah Dai, how is Ah Dai now?"
The Pope replied, "I did not tell you earlier because I was afraid it would affect your cultivation, at that time you were at the most critical stage of your cultivation. Please don’t worry, you do know how powerful the Divine Healing Technique of your grandfather is, right? With your grandfather and your uncle’s help, Ah Dai could be healed even if he was at death’s door. However, he left the church immediately after he was cured."
Xuan Yue, relieved that Ah Dai was fine, her cheeks flushed slightly, she asked with a bit of coyness, "Then, didn’t he mention me? He had already come to the church, why didn’t he look for me?"
The Pope shook his head, "He didn’t mention you in front of me. However, he seemed troubled when he left, as if he was in a melancholy mood."
Xuan Yue muttered longingly, "Ah Dai, why didn’t you come to see me? Have you forgotten Yue Yue?" Overwhelmed with longing, she firmly told the Pope, "Grandfather, since you are not against it, I’ll go looking for Ah Dai now."
The Pope nodded, "All right, your grandfather won’t stop you. With your current magic level, self-protection shouldn’t be a problem. When facing enemies, you cannot be careless. Your grandfather should feel assured with you having the Angel Wand and Phoenix’s Blood."
"Grandfather, how can I find Ah Dai?"
The Pope’s lips moved slightly, the light elements in the Temple of Light wavered, and with a wave of his hand in the air, a rift appeared. The Pope fetched two not very thick books from within the rift, pointed to the one with a red cover, and said, "Remember the magic regarding Phoenix’s Blood your grandfather taught you?"
