Chapter 1041.2 - The No.1 Struggle in 1,000 Years (Part Two)

Chapter 1041: The No.1 Struggle in 1,000 Years (Part Two)
“Half a year?” Fei lowered his head and sighed. Half a year was still too slow.
While the two talked, they entered Pope Entus’ back palace.
This place was still the same. There were many models of modern electronics as well as the wide tennis court, making Fei feel like he never left Earth. However, Pope Entus who was still energetic four days ago now looked old. His facial muscles loosened up and started to drip down, and wrinkles that looked to be carved out of blades were all over his face. His eyes now sat deeper into his eye sockets, and his eyes got a bit cloudy.
With grey hair on the two sides of his face, Entus sat on the couch in layers of leather coats as if he was ill, and it seemed like he had aged more than 40 years in just a few days.
“You… what happened?” Fei was shocked.
Entus waved his hand and signaled everyone in the palace to leave. When only Fei and Nash were left, Entus rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly before saying, “Is it really strange? I remember telling you that my life is coming to an end. When everyone dies due to old age, aren’t they all like this? If you came here two weeks later, I would have become a senior who had white hair, a few teeth, could only move slowly, and couldn’t talk clearly.”
“This… is there no other way?” Fei was anxious. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still unwilling to let this ‘homie’ go.
“Damn! If there is a way around this, do you think I would want to die?” Entus laughed and cussed. Then, he waved at Fei and told him to sit on the couch opposite to his. As if he was afraid of cold, Entus crawled deeper into the couch and said, “Ok, let’s talk about the main issue. From the look of things, behemoth orcs have to migrate within two months. The transportation ability of the Ancient Path of Blood of Behemoth is limited. I heard that Chambord grasped the technology for super-long-distance teleportation arrays. I hope that you can help in this area.”
“These aren’t an issue. Even if you don’t mention it, I will bring it up myself.” Fei nodded.
“Yo, your attitude sure is proper! You have placed yourself in the new role already! Hehe, anyway, all these troubles are for you, the new pope, to handle. I won’t waste my energy on them,” Entus laughed self-mockingly before saying, “Oh, right. I already announced that I’m about to pass away. Therefore, the selection of a new pope is already on the schedule. It will be decided within the next ten days or so. Be prepared.”
“What should I prepare? I’m not even an orc, so I’m not qualified.”
Entus mentioned this once before, saying that Fei was going to be the next pope of the Beast God Palace. However, this didn’t make any sense. Regardless of everything, there was no way that behemoth orcs would accept a human to represent the Beast God.
“As long as you are mentally prepared. Everything was decided 1,000 years ago, so nothing should go wrong. That existence had said that you will dictate the future of the orcs.” Entus rested his chin on his hand as he laughed lightheartedly, “I don’t care about that much. I’m about to die, so I should hurry up and sleep with a few more beautiful animal girls. My mind isn’t on this issue. Everything will go according to schedule, and we can see what will happen.”
Fei was at a loss for words.
Entus then pointed at Great Priest Nash of Fox Clan and said, “Stephen Nash is from my Fox Clan, and he is a talented priest and my most trusted assistant. He will plan the rest. I don’t know when I’m going to die. If I die before the new pope is selected, you can trust him on all issues.”
Entus sounded like Liu Bei who entrusted his sons to his subordinates before he died in Baidi Fortress according to Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
“Yuck! You are such a doomsayer! Don’t jinx it!” Fei was feeling a little sad.
Although he had only known Entus for a few days, the king felt like he and Entus were friends for thousands of years due to their connections to Earth.
Fei really didn’t want to lose this friend.
