A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

what is this?

Lorenzo pulled a piece of paper from his pocket…which had been rolled up and stuffed into his pocket.

It's not ordinary paper, the texture is very unique.

He took it out and opened it, and saw a withdrawal voucher... Without any conditions, he could withdraw 100 florins with this voucher.

who is it?

Lorenzo was certain he hadn't had it on him that morning, but now he suddenly had it.

Who is in the middle? Well, it seems that only Thomas is there.

He was the only one who had the conditions, after all, the two of them were in close proximity several times, stuffing things back and forth.

You actually stuffed this thing into me!

Money is the devil's temptation!

Find Brother Thomas tomorrow and return it to him.

Then again, it seems Thomas is quite rich and willing to give money.

He was thinking about it when there was a knock on the door.

He didn't think about it, so he threw the check on the table, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and went to open the door.

Outside the door was a figure dressed as a nun.

But even the hood couldn't hide her curly, lighter-colored blonde hair, which looked like flowing spring water in the moonlight. Her eyes, even in such a dim place, still sparkled like emeralds.

Her face lifted and she looked at Lorenzo.

The two people looked at each other.

The girl's cheeks were as delicate as white rose petals at first, but soon they took on the color of pink and red roses.

"Oh, Brother Lorenzo, won't you invite me in?"

"It's so late, you..." Lorenzo didn't finish his words, but the other party pushed forward and squeezed into the door.

"…You shouldn't have come to my room!"

"Hey, we are just friends!" The girl closed the door skillfully with her backhand.

Chapter 14 Spy 2

Lorenzo took two steps back and fell down on the edge of his bed.

"Lucretia, you can't come here. This is against the rules..." Although he said so, Lorenzo was obviously lacking in confidence, and his voice was so soft that it seemed inaudible.

"How did you get here?" His next sentence finally sounded a little louder.

"Oh, there's no one over there, so I took advantage of the situation and came over!" The girl said by candlelight. "Today is All Saints' Day, have you encountered anything unusual?"

She seized Lorenzo's hand, and he drew it back as if burned by a branding iron.

"No...no...nothing! I'm just in charge of receiving...a few newcomers today."

"Nothing? Why are you so excited?" Lucretia said, and suddenly she checked herself. She pulled her hand hard and took off her nun's robe completely, revealing the clothes underneath.

Lorenzo's face flushed red.

"How is it? I put on my makeup today and went to the market to buy it... It's the most popular style this year! I'll put it on, just for you to see!"

Lorenzo's face turned extremely red. He opened his mouth to speak, but he became dumb like a fish. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

There was no doubt that Lucretia had bought more than just clothes. The aroma filled the air, making Lorenzo feel slightly dizzy and his mouth dry.

"Hey, didn't your teacher look for you? He's just left you here for a year."

"Holy Father...Holy Father...He must have other...arrangements..."

"What do you think of this dress? Does it look good?"

"looks great."

"I said it was worth it, but it's too expensive," Lucretia said. "I've spent all my money."

Her eyes turned and she saw the check on the table.

On the bare table, besides the candlestick, there was only a piece of paper, which was indeed very conspicuous.

She picked it up and saw this at a glance.

"This is... Brother Lorenzo, is this your money?"

"Yes...it's mine." Lorenzo's voice was a little choked.

"Can you lend it to me? I'll pay you back when I have money!"

"Ah... OK..." Lorenzo felt his brain turn into mush, unable to think straight. He waited for a long time, until Lucretia left and the candlelight was about to go out, before he slowly calmed down.

My mind was completely blank, I didn't even know what was happening. Everything felt as unreal as a dream.

He quickly knelt down and prayed for God's forgiveness.

While he was praying, two heavily armed patrolmen were walking down the corridor outside.

Although they were patrolmen, judging by their luxurious equipment, one could tell that they were at least knights.

Only God's eyes could detect that the two of them were very careful to avoid Lucretia. They seemed to be patrolling normally, but they had no contact with this woman at all.

She was allowed to walk away from the monks' accommodation area as if she were in an empty place.

When the two people walked around the corner, they were suddenly stunned because they saw a familiar figure standing there.

Although wearing ascetic clothes, one of the soldiers nudged his companion with his elbow, and his companion immediately understood.

In the city of Rome, many people know that the Pope will go somewhere incognito from time to time.

"Holy Father!" The two knights saluted, but because of their armor, they could not perform the full salute.

"How are you today?" Leo XI asked. "Is that woman here again?"

"coming?"

“How’s the frequency lately?”

“It’s every two days, and the festival hasn’t changed.”

"Are you new here?" Leo XI noticed that one of the knights was unfamiliar.

"Yes, Holy Father," another knight quickly replied. "He is new."

"Pay attention, but don't take any action." The Pope nodded with satisfaction and motioned them to leave.

The two knights then left.

"The Holy See actually... came to personally care about this matter?"

"That's perfectly normal. That's Brother Lorenzo over there... You know who that is. The only student of the Holy See!"

"So that woman?"

"Hush... The Holy See possesses the authority bestowed by Christ to accurately identify pagans, spies, sorcerers, or anyone else with malicious intent in a crowd. That woman is clearly a spy, even a pagan, and she approached Brother Lorenzo with evil intentions. This matter must not be spread!"

"Then what are you hesitating about? Arrest that woman right now!"

"Oh no, no. It would be a shame to arrest her directly. The Holy See will definitely use this opportunity to pass on completely false information. This would be far more effective and beneficial than arresting her directly..."

The two people whispered and slowly left.

Leo XI did not stop. He glanced at the house where Lorenzo was in the distance and walked to the other side.

He was very familiar with the surrounding environment and of course knew all the shortcuts.

A short while later, he arrived at the nun's quarters.

The rule of this place is naturally that men are not allowed to enter... However, any rules are enforced by people.

There is a garden next to it, which is a good place for a date or a meeting.

Leo XI did not dare to get too close, but only listened from a suitable distance. He heard the laughter of men and women over there.

"...So, that person, whatever I say is what it is..."

"...like a piece of wood, stupid, meaningless..."

"...How can I be as charming as you..."

Leo XI smiled faintly. He could tell it was the female spy's voice. As for the man, his voice was even deeper, and it was hard to make out what he was saying. But Leo XI knew from the voice that it was the famous playboy he had found nearby.

He may not have any other skills, but he is really good at seducing women.

Female spies are still women. Furthermore, they are women who undertake dangerous missions and face intense pressure. In some ways, such women are easier to hook up with than normal women.

A woman's sweet moan was heard from the other side.

Not yet... not yet, thought Leo XI.

It takes time and more importantly, a suitable opportunity.

He needed this woman to make Lorenzo make an unforgivable mistake.

Lorenzo himself found it unforgivable.

What can fundamentally change a person? It's nothing more than two things: love and hate.

When Lorenzo makes an unforgivable mistake, remorse and a desire to atone for his sins change everything.

Maybe... there is a chance to turn a gentle and kind person into the most cold-blooded and ruthless warrior.

A warrior filled with the urge to martyrdom, willing to fight for Christ, willing to shed his last drop of blood without regret.

The only problem was that this required patience... and even Leo XI wasn't sure how long he had to wait.

When he thought about what he was about to do, his heart felt as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake and the pain was unbearable.

But this was the responsibility God gave him, and he had no choice.

Leo XI turned and left, it was time to meet the spy who had just arrived today!

Chapter 15 Spy 3

Leo XI walked slowly along the familiar road, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the household registration office.

Looking at the time, the relevant personnel should have delivered the files of today's new employees.

"Holy Father!" Several staff members immediately recognized the Pope.

"Bring over the files of the people who just joined today." Leo XI spoke directly.

"Yes!"

There were only nine new hires today, and they had just been brought in, so finding them was easy. In a blink of an eye, Leo XI had a pile of documents in his hands.

He saw clearly that among all the people present today, only that person had practiced martial arts.

In a blink of an eye, he found the target's file.

"Thomas of Bohemia... huh? It's a common name." He saw the letter of introduction in the file. "From the Chomutov Monastery... I seem to have heard of this monastery somewhere."

Suddenly, he clapped his hands and remembered.

Isn’t it the monastery affected by the Bohemian Civil War?

It was originally just an insignificant monastery in the countryside, and the Roman church leaders didn't care at all - if they knew that such a monastery existed.

But if something like this happened, it would be enough to leave an impression on the church leaders, even himself.

It is said that the monastery was occupied by rebels and all the monks were driven out...

Although it was eventually recovered, the lord did not return it to the church, and the two sides are still arguing over it.

Although the letter itself is flawless, but... because of this incident, this kind of thing is difficult to verify.

As a spy tool, it's perfect.

Then he saw the evaluation issued by the examiner: the martial arts level is at the mid-level.

Leo XI snorted coldly.

That idiot!
