The Pope smiled. "I know you're going to ask that."
Nathan didn't say anything after that, wondering if this meant he would agree to give it to him.
Unfortunately, the Pope could only shake his head. "Sadly, I can't afford to give this clue to you. It will remain there forever and no one, even you, can read it."
Nathan's expression turned solemn. "If that's the case, then there's no need to say anything more." He stood up while adding, "I believe our talk here is done."
Nathan didn't show any disappointment in his face. After all, he had confirmed one thing. If it was just a clue about the sea, the Pope shouldn't really mind giving it to him.
However, that note must contain any clue related to the intelligent alien. In other words, if he got this information, he would get a weapon that could slit the throat of the Holy Kingdom.
The Holy Kingdom needed to remain standing so that they could fight against the aliens, so other than the pope, no one was supposed to know this.
