Chapter 747 747: 396 Saints Invited (6.2K, Seeking Comfort——)_4

Herbert, being human, naturally felt instinctively anxious.

However, just as Herbert had said, he was already prepared.

Just now, during his conversation with Valentina and the others, Herbert gleaned quite a bit of "emotional value" from them, successfully regaining his usual composure.

Especially Kreti, whose highly cooperative stress reactions made Herbert quite satisfied.

Herbert passed through the wooden door without feeling as if he'd crossed any special barrier and naturally walked into an ordinary room.

The interior décor was very simple and plain, with only some worn wooden furniture. The overall environment could even be described as impoverished.

The Sun Pope resides in such a place?

"Is this... hmm?" Herbert was puzzled, when suddenly his ears twitched.

Creak.

Hearing a sound behind him, Herbert turned back to find that Bishop Evelyn hadn't followed him in. Instead, she stood outside the door, lowered her head, and gently closed the door.

Click.

Herbert frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and raised his gaze to the view outside the window; it was an ordinary terrace.

The sunshine was warm, and the breeze was pleasant; everything seemed exceptionally comfortable and ordinary.

But Herbert's intuition told him this was just the facade others wanted him to see.

This feeling was like unexpectedly stepping into a moment from the past.

Everything appeared ordinary, yet exuded an ancient atmosphere.

In the center of the terrace, there was a small round table and two deck chairs, with one chair occupied by an ordinary old man with white hair and beard.

He lay lazily with his eyes closed in a rocking chair, a small cup of fragrant "Tears of the Sun" on the table, exuding a rich aroma similar to coffee.

There was no imposing presence.

He seemed like an everyday elderly man, sunbathing in the warm sunlight, enjoying his rare leisure time.

Without hesitation, Herbert pushed open the door and walked onto the terrace, slowly approaching the old man and bowing respectfully.

"Your Eminence, it is an honor to meet you."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, first quietly scrutinizing Herbert. When he confirmed Herbert's inner calm matched his exterior, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He smiled kindly, nodded at Herbert, and said with a laugh, "Haha, child, get up, come, sit here, don't be nervous... oh?"

The Sun Pope was about to persuade further, but before he could finish, he watched the young man lie unceremoniously into the chair.

Not only did he lie down, but the young man even rocked back and forth comfortably.

Creak, creak...

The entire motion was smooth and unhesitant.

"Haha!"

The Pope laughed heartily, nodding with delight, and said, "Very well, child, you surprised me, haha."

What an interesting little fellow.

It's been many years since he had seen such a bold young person.

Seeing Herbert seemingly about to sit up, he waved his hand and said, "No need to get up; this is fine, no need to be formal..."

Then, the Sun Pope fell silent.

Because he realized Herbert wasn't trying to get up; he was merely adjusting to a more comfortable position.

He glanced at Herbert with a sidelong glance, his mouth twitching slightly.

You kid...

Aren't you a bit too brazen?

...

...

Meanwhile, as Herbert was meeting with the Sun Pope, the remaining team at the mansion resumed their calm, each attending to their own matters.

Flora was quietly reading a book on the surface while contemplating the current situation, silently analyzing what needed to be done.

Kreti huddled in a dark corner, trying to feel better, muttering complaints about Herbert's misdeeds.

As for Valentina... she continued to chew.

Chomp chomp chomp.

Suddenly, Valentina's ears twitched, and she pulled her head out of the third jar, looking toward the main door.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm—"

The next second, the door was gently knocked on.

Knock knock.
