The Pope's words made Fern feel very uncomfortable. Fern thought that after all, the Pope was Mo Kexuan's closest relative and he should be respected.
At first, Fern kept thinking in his heart that the Pope was an elder and he should not be disrespectful, so at first Fern did not pay much attention to what the Pope said...
What Fern didn't expect was that the Pope didn't believe him at all. He looked at Fern with a strange look in his eyes, showing no intention of continuing to communicate. He mostly blamed and complained to Fern, and even scolded him.
This made Fern, who was originally kind-hearted, unable to accept the Pope's behavior. However, whenever Fern thought of Mo Kexuan, he still endured his words. Fern felt that compared to losing Mo Kexuan, these harsh words were nothing...
The Pope looked at Fern with a very serious expression and said, "I'll ask you one last time, was it you who caused Mo Kexuan's death?"
After the Pope said this, he still stared at Fern fiercely...
Fern replied to the Pope in a calm manner, "Mo Kexuan's departure is indeed related to me, but it is definitely not me who hurt Mo Kexuan to the point where she is now. Please believe me!"
Fern's words were unbelievable to the Pope. After Fern finished speaking, the Pope did not show any relaxation or trust, but more disdain. In the Pope's heart, he was still stubborn at this time. What Fern did not expect was that he angered the Pope even more...
The Pope was already furious at this time. Fern could see that his expression had changed drastically. The mermaid standing next to him seemed to have noticed something as well, but before Barbara could react, Fern pushed her hard to the ground...
Fortunately, Fern reacted in time and saved Barbara, so that Barbara was not seriously hurt.
Barbara, lying on the ground, didn't know what had happened. She looked at Pope and Fern with a confused look, thinking that something bad was going to happen. Both of them had murderous intent in their eyes...
The Pope looked at Fern with a stern look and said, "Who is she, and why do you protect her so much?"
Fern looked at the Pope and hurriedly explained, "She is a mermaid. When I was healing Mo Kexuan in a cabin in the mountains, I encountered her and saved her."
In his heart, the Pope didn't know whether he should believe Fern's answer, but judging from his current demeanor, even if he believed Fern in his heart, he would not show it on the surface.
The Pope smiled and looked at Fern and said, "You'd better answer my question honestly. Judging from your actions just now, I think... your relationship is not ordinary, right?"
Fern heard that the Pope did not believe him. Fern wanted to explain to the Pope and gain his trust, but before Fern could open his mouth, the Pope cast a magic spell at Fern...
Fortunately, Fern dodged in time and escaped with a backflip. Fern saw that the Pope had no intention of talking, and didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only fight with the Pope on the premise of not getting hurt and not harming the Pope. Barbara, who was watching from the side, was very worried.
Barbara knew very well that Fern was definitely no match for the Pope and was very worried that Fern would get hurt.
In fact, the Pope did not want to do anything to Fern. Instead, he wanted to make sure whether Fern was firm in his heart and whether he had enough confidence to save Mo Kexuan. The Pope just wanted to test Fern's determination.
Fern knew very well in his heart that no matter how the Pope made things difficult for him, he had to face it calmly for the sake of Mo Kexuan and not hurt innocent people.
Looking at the Pope's current state, Fern could understand more or less, because when he learned about Mo Kexuan's departure, his will was also very confused...
After a brief ideological struggle, the Pope started to attack again. Fern could only reject such moves by dodging. Besides, Fern's strength alone was not enough to resist the Pope.
After several rounds of fighting, the Pope looked at Fern and said, "Is this the extent of your strength? How can I trust you to get things done? I think you are just refusing to accept my offer."
As soon as the words fell, before Fern could respond, the Pope's spell suddenly attacked, and the two began to fight each other again. This time Fern did not show weakness but used all his skills to resist the Pope's tactics with all his strength.
The Pope just wanted to use this method to inspire Fern a little bit and make him realize how capable Fern is.
After experiencing the Pope's magic, Fern showed obvious symptoms of physical discomfort, but he still insisted on resisting and wanted the Pope to see his determination.
The Pope would stop after a few fights. Now the two were facing each other. The Pope looked at Fern with vicious eyes and told Fern: "Do you want to continue? If it doesn't work, just give up!"
Fern responded firmly to the Pope, saying, "I will not give up. I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself."
The Pope rejected Fern with a sinister laugh and said, "How can I trust you when you are like this?"
Fern looked into the Pope's eyes, his eyes revealing reluctance and disdain...
The Pope pressed Fern step by step, making Fern's heart almost on the verge of collapse. However, for Mo Kexuan, Fern felt that this little bit of suffering was worth it. As long as he could settle Mo Kexuan better and gain the trust of the Pope, it would be worth it no matter how dangerous it was!
The Pope did not feel soft-hearted when he saw Fern like this. Whenever he thought of Mo Kexuan, the pain in his heart was ten times more than it was now. The current Pope would not trust anyone easily.
As Barbara watched blankly on the side, Barbara wanted to help Fern deal with the Pope, but was rejected by Fern with just a look. Fern didn't want Barbara to be involved in this war. For Barbara's safety, Fern immediately stopped Barbara's actions.
Barbara was very distressed watching this. In order not to disobey Fern's order, she could only wait foolishly...
Fern endured it all silently without showing any dissatisfaction. Every blow from the Pope would strengthen his inner belief.
After many battles with the Pope, Fern found himself too weak. Fern thought that with his current ability, no matter who appeared and threatened Mo Kexuan, he would be powerless to resist, and he did not have enough ability to protect Mo Kexuan...
Fern thought that he had to store Mo Kexuan's body with the Pope no matter what. This was the safest place.
Fern used her firm faith to support the Pope's torture on her. Fern did not give up and persisted with strong willpower...
The Pope just wanted to prove whether Fern was sincere, so he made things difficult for Fern in every way, trying to make Fern give up. However, judging from Fern's performance so far, the Pope has some trust in him.
Fern is holding on with his last bit of will. The Pope looks at Fern now and thinks a lot in his mind. He doesn't know whether he should trust Fern now. Can Fern, who has suffered so much, seize this opportunity? Can he do what Fern promised and wake Mo Kexuan up?
Many questions emerged in the Pope's mind. Looking at Fern, who was weak but still holding on, the Pope began to hesitate. However, the tragic reality forced the Pope to be cautious in everything and not dare to trust anyone easily.
The Pope is a man who has experienced great disasters, so it is understandable that he is rigorous in his work. After all, not everyone here will treat everything with care and see it through to a good start.
When Fern was still conscious, Barbara couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly stood up and fought with the Pope. The Pope didn't do anything to the girl, but warned the mermaid: "Do you know what you are doing? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The mermaid looked at the Pope and said nothing...
But Barbara still did not stop, and continued to use magic to attack the Pope. The Pope looked at the mad Barbara and subdued her with a magic. Barbara was very angry, but her body could not move at all...
The Pope didn't want to hurt Barbara, but he had to stop her behavior. He could see that Barbara was very worried about Fern.
The Pope looked at Barbara and said, "You want to save him. What is your relationship with him?"
Barbara looked at the Pope and said, "You have to believe that he can save your sister. Please don't torture him anymore, okay?"
The Pope looked at Barbara with a puzzled look and said, "Sister?"
Barbara said, "Yes, brother can save sister. You have to believe in brother."
The Pope suddenly realized that the sister Barbara was talking about was Mo Kexuan. It seemed that their relationship was indeed very good. The Pope felt a little relieved, but he was not completely reassured.
The Pope looked at Fern's painful struggle, and then looked at Barbara who was desperate to rescue Fern. The Pope's heart was touched...
The Pope just watched quietly, waved his hand gently to dispel Barbara's spell, and returned to the cold storage room with Mo Kexuan's body without looking back...
Barbara, who had recovered her body, immediately came to Fern's side and helped the unconscious and very weak Fern out of the castle.
