I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Three people walked on the street, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun. The spring evening was quiet and beautiful.

Eli went to the Life Church to get the latest newspapers, while Phil Gray and Ernest searched the city for restaurants run by the God of Food to store food for Hei Ye.

By the time night had completely fallen, they had already left the city and boarded a large train heading to the next destination.

After entering the territory of the Kingdom of Barrow, Phil Gray leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Outside are rolling mountains and lonely and desolate wilderness. There are very few villages, and some areas are sparsely populated.

He had read in a book that the people of the Barrow Kingdom were all very tall, and even the women had large frames. It was said that this area was once a place where ferocious beasts gathered a long, long time ago, and small villages were often destroyed by the beast tides. Later, the God of War blessed the people here, and they were born with the characteristics of bravery and sturdiness. Although the ferocious beasts are gone now and their genetic traits are becoming increasingly diluted, their stature is still taller than those in other areas.

They did not stop for long and passed through the Kingdom of Barrow before arriving at the east coast of the Western Continent. There was a port called Acomo here, which was mainly used for ships crossing the two continents.

"We'll rest here for one night and set off tomorrow morning!"

Phil Gray looked at the Yaase Sea between the East and West continents and felt a little excited. They were finally going to another unknown continent.

"Okay, I asked around, and there will be a passenger ship bound for the East Continent at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. It belongs to a long-distance fleet of a great noble in Barrow. The ticket price is very reasonable. I'll go buy it." Eli said, walking towards a shop with a picture of the sea. Tickets must be purchased from this kind of special shop.

Waiting there, Phil Gray looked at the surrounding scenery with some boredom. He saw a lot of people arguing not far away. There were some construction materials and some strange tools around them.

Is this a building to be built?

Phil Gray was a little confused. A businessman-looking man happened to walk by and was talking to another friend in a suit.

"Do you think the Creation God Cult's plan is feasible?"

"Why not? There's nothing they can't make."

"But that's too crazy, right? How much building materials would it take? And how can it be built floating on the sea?"

"They have their own ways, and we just have to wait and witness the miracle."

"What are they going to do?" Phil Gray couldn't help but ask.

The merchant and his friend all looked at Phil Gray, and the merchant replied enthusiastically, "The Creator Cult plans to build a bridge across the east and west continents, so that large trains or horses can travel between the two continents as if they were crossing flat land, without having to worry about encountering danger at sea, and it also reduces the time required for travel."

What a crazy idea.

Phil Gray sighed in his heart and admired this group of crazy craftsmen even more.

After staying in Acomo Port for one night, they boarded a passenger ship to the East Continent.

This passenger ship is different from Gold Coin No. 3. It looks quite simple, but the cabin is very large and can accommodate nearly two hundred passengers. Naturally, each guest room is also more simple.

The restaurant was noisy, with babies crying and elderly women shouting at the top of their lungs. Most of the people on the ship were ordinary people, but there were also some nobles and priests from various churches. They were heading to the East Continent to visit relatives and friends or to look for business opportunities.

Of course, there are also people who go to the East Continent to seek refuge because they have offended someone.

Phil Gray and his two friends found a place to sit down, had a simple midnight snack, and then returned to their respective rooms.

The ship has set sail, and according to their estimate, it will take about nine days to reach the East Continent.

"Meow~"

Night jumped onto the bed and curled up beside his pillow. Phil Gray rubbed its fur, opened the blue curtains, and saw the boundless ocean outside.

What does the deep blue underwater world look like? It is said that there is the kingdom of the goddess of the sea down there.

Phil Gray thought of his pair of key earrings and wondered if he would encounter any news of treasure along the way.

……

Nine days passed in a flash. They played "Nobles" on the boat for several days, during which Ernest was the one who won the most.

Phil Gray also borrowed some interesting books from the reading room on the ship, such as "Observations in Seru County", which tells a series of strange things that a young priest of the Church of the Dawn saw when he traveled to Seru County. The residents of this county all believe in the god of fertility, a subordinate god who is both male and female and controls the power of reproduction.

Phil Gray was attracted by the book and wanted to know what kind of customs and practices this pastor had seen.

So he opened the first chapter and read the following opening:

My name is Abraham Wells, and I am a pastor from the Church of the Morning Star.

I was born in a devout family and have been passionate about God and adventure since I was a child. I once dreamed of spreading the light of dawn all over the world and letting more people know our Lord God and his grace.

However, I didn't expect that my first mission would be to go to Sailu County, the strange place known as the "Land of Birth".

I have always been curious about Seru County because I heard that there is an ancient and mysterious belief there. They worship a subordinate god called the "God of Fertility" who has both male and female characteristics and can change his gender and image at will.

The residents of Selu County all believe in this god. They think he is their protector and benefactor. They hold various ceremonies and festivals to please him. The most famous one is the "Fertility Festival", which is an annual grand celebration. All men and women who can give birth will gather in the square of the county town on that day for an unrestrained carnival. It is said that on that day, the god of fertility will descend on the earth and randomly select the object he likes from the crowd to mate. Whether it is a man or a woman, or even an animal or a plant, it is possible to become his partner. And those who are lucky or unlucky will receive his special blessing or punishment. Some people will conceive children or multiple births, and some people will lose their fertility forever.

What a weird festival, Phil Gray complained in his heart.

After reading this book, he read some other books such as "The Biography of Queen Samantha Bridges of the Kingdom of Lanxi" and "The Life of a Listener to the Dead", and gained a deeper understanding of the East Continent.
