Chapter 048 The Most Suitable Candidate

Wang Bo continued, "Leo Aiolia is a pure fighter. He's fine for brawling, but he can't manage the Sanctuary."

Aiolia also snorted coldly, seemingly displeased with Wang Bo's assessment of him, but like Aldebaran, he did not refute Wang Bo. Because he knew very well that he was indeed a fighter.

"Scorpio Milo is a woman..."

Before Wang Bo could finish, Milo interrupted loudly, "Do you mean that because I'm a woman, I can't be the Pope?"

If Wang Bo dared to say yes, she would make him pay.

Wang Bo continued without changing his expression, "This woman is rather emotional and lacks management experience. She can't manage the Sanctuary."

Milo glared at Wang Bo unwillingly, but she had to admit that Wang Bo was right. She couldn't even manage the Scorpio Temple well, let alone the vast Sanctuary.

"Aries Shura, like Leo Aiolia, is a pure fighter, so he won't do."

Shura remained expressionless and silent.

"Aquarius Camus, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, can't distinguish between reward and punishment. He's fine as a teacher, but he can't manage the Sanctuary."

Camus looked at Wang Bo seriously. He wasn't actually familiar with this person, but he never expected to be seen through at a glance. This surprised Camus quite a bit.

"As for the last one, Pisces Aphrodite, he's a good warrior, but just a warrior. He can't be a leader."

Aphrodite, like the others, said nothing. He was originally a low-key person.

Saori Kido noticed that Wang Bo had evaluated most of the Saints but had left out Mu, and couldn't help asking, "What about Mr. Mu?"

Wang Bo said, "He's okay. His strength is among the top of the Saints, and he's a disciple of the previous Pope. Although he was once schemed against by Saga, he's still fit to be a Pope."

Saori Kido couldn't help but smile, "Then it's decided. Let Mr. Mu be the Pope."

Mu quickly said, "Lady Athena, although I am a disciple of the previous Pope, my master did not choose me as Pope. There must be something I did not do well enough. So I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of being Pope."

Saori Kido was a bit troubled. If Mu was unwilling to be the Pope, then who could be?

Helpless, Saori Kido had to cast a pleading look at Wang Bo again, because she found that Wang Bo could indeed solve many problems with just a few words.

She was just a young lady. She might not even be able to manage her own family's business well, let alone manage the Sanctuary. It was too difficult.

Wang Bo received Saori Kido's pleading look and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Do you really think I'm Doraemon, able to solve any problem?

Mu doesn't want to be Pope, and I have no way... Hey, wait, it seems I actually do have a way, damn it.

Wang Bo coughed and said slowly, "Well, if Mu doesn't want to be Pope, I do have a candidate who should be more suitable than Mu and also has experience managing the Sanctuary."

The Gold Saints couldn't help but focus their eyes on Wang Bo. Saori Kido couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

"The previous Pope, Shion."

"Please don't joke," Mu said with displeasure. If it weren't for Wang Bo's kindness to the Sanctuary, he would have slapped him long ago. "My master has already..."

"Died, I know."

"Then you still..."

"Sometimes, death is not the end." Wang Bo interrupted Mu's words.

Mu looked at Wang Bo with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I know the art of soul recall, which can summon the souls of the dead back from the underworld. At this moment, Hades should not yet be awake, so my soul recall technique has a high success rate."

"Soul recall."

Mu murmured, not questioning Wang Bo. In fact, the Gold Saint of Cancer could send souls to the entrance of the underworld, so summoning a soul back from the underworld was not a big deal.

He was just a bit hesitant about whether to summon his own master's soul.

Wang Bo said, "The previous Pope died early, and many confidential matters were not passed on to the next Pope. So I think we should summon Shion back to reorganize the Sanctuary. What do you all think?"

The group of Gold Saints looked at each other, and finally their gazes converged on Mu.

Mu pondered for a moment, then bowed to Wang Bo and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Wang Bo."

"You're welcome."

The reason Wang Bo was so eager to help the people of the Sanctuary was simple: he wanted to gain some prestige there and build relationships, so that in the future he might be able to recruit a few Saints to help him with his work.

"Shion's body should still be around, right?" Wang Bo asked.

Mu nodded.

After Saga died, he had taken a tour of the Sanctuary, found his master's body, and placed it in a coffin, which had not yet been buried. He never thought he would have to take his master out of the coffin again.

This was truly disrespectful.

When his master returned, he would definitely apologize to him.

Mu led Wang Bo to the burial site of the past Popes, and the Gold Saints followed, including Saori Kido.

As Pope, Shion's coffin was actually made of gold—truly extravagant.

But the Sanctuary was wealthy, so making some gold coffins was nothing.

After Mu opened the coffin, he lifted out a well-preserved corpse. Logically, Shion had been dead for over a decade; for anyone else, only a pile of bones would remain.

But Shion's corpse was still intact. Though not exactly lifelike, it was close.

Wang Bo was surprised by this but not puzzled. After all, Shion had once been a Gold Saint in life; it was not difficult for his body to remain undecayed.

However, this saved him some resources. Originally, Wang Bo had thought that if Shion's body had decayed, he would use a large amount of the Fountain of Eternal Life to restore it.

Now it seemed that just a tiny bit of the Fountain of Eternal Life would suffice.

Wang Bo stepped forward, took out a bottle, and poured a few drops of the Fountain of Eternal Life onto Shion's wounds. The Fountain of Eternal Life began to take effect; Shion's skin softened from stiffness, and his pale complexion turned rosy.

His body gradually regained vitality, but the only regrettable thing was that his brain showed no activity, and his heart did not beat.

He was still a dead man.

But that was fine; once his soul returned, everything could be resolved.

Wang Bo put away the bottle and began to chant a spell.
