Chapter 669 Lies
Chapter 669 Lies
" Beniogre talked to me ". Jhonny said as the pope and the priestess became absolutely stunned at this revelation.
An audible gasp escaped the mouth of the priestess as she looked at Jhonny in new light entirely , which was close to blind devotion at this point.
Jhonny continued " I can never mistake that moment , whenever I close my eyes i relive it , that melodious voice , that divine warmth , there can be no doubt it was beniogre ".
Jhonny said as he closed his eyes as if reliving that moment, but internally he was only praying that beniogre did not appear out of nowhere and slap his a** off for lying.
When nothing happened , jhonny sighed in relief and continued his story " She told me to regain my strength as the assignment she had given me was of utmost importance…. ".
The pope looked at Jhonny with skepticism , beniogre and him were often in touch , all her assignments were usually given to him . Why did she give it to a outsider ?
The pope became critical of jhonny's story at this point as he could not beleive that beniogre had given someone else an assignment.
Jhonny said " Yes the goddess told me this , that you will not understand this assignment because your pride and love for the goddess is too much for you to question her powers.
Which is why it was given to an outsider like me ".
Jhonny's words did not convince the pope at all as he coldly said " Pray tell sir Jhonny what assignment did she give you ? ".
Jhonny did not shy away from the question at all , as he looked towards the goddess and said " Dont you believe that the godess is the all knowing almighty existance , under whose nose no wrong can be done ? ".
It was a rhetorical question , there was only one answer the pope could have given to Jhonny for it as he said " Yes … ".
Jhonny continued " Which is why she could not assign you this task , as you would never admit it that right under her nose , in the secure vault of the church , someone in performing a robbery right at this instance ".
The face of the pope lost all color at this second , as anger filled his eyes. And he said " You think someone is robbing the church's vault right at this second? ".
Jhonny nodded his head and said ' Yes '.
The pope laughed loudly at jhonny's face and said " Never have i ever seen someone make a worse joke.
There are currently more tier 4 paladins patrolling the church's premises than you have in your entire country.
I AM PRESENT HERE. And the entrance to the vault is guarded by over 400 men. Yet you think it's being raided this very moment? ".
The priestess felt confused at this second as she could not decide which side to be picked , as she remained silent.
Jhonny however looked at the pope and said " Yes ".
" YOU LIE ". The pope lashed out at Jhonny as he dismissed his claims as outrageous.
Jhonny however did not take offense at all as he said " This is exactly why the goddess gave this task to me an outsider . Because you would never beleive it ".
The pope felt like jhonny's logic had some merit to it , however it still made no sense that the church's vault could be raided as he said " Even so , why would he chose you? Of all people for this task?
Why not your pope shakuni ? Im sure he's more capable !
Why you ?
You know what i think? I think you are full of lies and are secretly trying to pry into the secrets of the vault ".
The priestess's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Jhonny as if he were the enemy now , but Jhonny did not take any offense at all.
Hearing the raised voice a few paladins entered the prayer hall to make sure everything was okay , giving hostile glances to Jhonny.
Jhonny did not reply using words for this question as he simply showed his hand and passed it through a table top as if it did not exist at all , as both the pope and the priestess's eyes widened in surprise to see this phenomenon.
Jhonny said " No walls can stop me , no matter how thick . Had i wishe to pry into your secrets i could have walked right through the vaults walls and nobody would be any wiser
SO DONT YOU DARE SLANDER ME POPE . I come in good faith. If you go down at this moment you will see evidence of robbery . The faster you react the more chances there are of us catching the theif , however the slower you react , the harder it will be".
The pressure was suddenly on the pope now as he did not understand how to react. Switching looks between Jhonny and the goddess's statue he fell into a dilemma.
The priestess said at this moment " Father , let's check once , we will know if it's true or false ".
The pope listening to the priestess finally said " okay , but if we don't see any signs of robbery this man will be jailed for a year speaking lies about the goddess ".
The pope's look towards Jhonny was hostile , however in jhonny's mind he thought ' Pfft , as it you can catch me . The second i see the item I'm going formless and running out.
Good luck trying to catch me later '.
Jhonny had completely cooked up the story about the robbery , little did he know that his imagination did not differ from the reality by much.
Poor dronacharya who had after 2 hours of laborious dripping finally opened a hole in the vaults wall big enough for his body to pass , was about to have the shock of his life in a few minutes time.
