"We can't go back directly, we must get permission, I'll figure something out,"
the cardinal in red said.
He thought for a while, took out his phone, and dialed a number, "The sacrificial ground in the barracks is clear now, should I return to the Church Court to retrieve the casting materials?"
"What? You didn't bring your casting materials?" The voice on the other end sounded somewhat surprised.
"They're too valuable, locked in the drawer, I forgot," said the cardinal in red.
"This..." The voice still hesitated.
"It'll be quick; just give me twenty minutes," the cardinal in red said.
"Alright, hurry up and don't delay things," the voice replied.
"Understood," the cardinal in red said.
He hung up and turned to Wu Xiaode, "I can take you in, but I might not be able to see the Pope."
"Let's get inside first," Wu Xiaode said.
"Let's go."
The cardinal in red walked down the stairs.
