Only I Have Two Towers Episode 263

Give Me That

Jin Yun-ho rubbed his forehead.

The Pantheon had just been recorded a moment ago.

As everyone expected, floors 81 through 85 were all SSS+.

Nevertheless, the Vatican’s concerns had not subsided.

Yun Mi-ri, who was beside him, shrugged her shoulders.

“Isn’t this the first time? The Vatican being this proactive.”

“That’s right. They’re not just contacting us, but also making requests to the Blue House. They want a meeting with our side.”

“They seem to know something more, don’t they? With just the information they’ve disclosed, I don’t think it’s worth going this far.”

He slowly nodded his head.

Even if problems arose from the Runner’s climb, they would ultimately occur in South Korea’s Tower.

Vatican City had nothing to do with Italy’s Tower, which they were climbing together.

Yet this level of interest and effort.

No matter how much the Vatican was an organization for world peace, it felt unnatural.

“I’d like to go see. What they know that makes them act like this.”

Jin Yun-ho felt the same way.

If he could, he wanted to freely participate in the meeting and hear their honest story.

However, there were issues that neither side could compromise on.

# They wanted the unconditional participation of the Runner, the tower climber.

The Vatican promised thorough confidentiality, but Jinhyeok, the person in question, wouldn’t welcome this.

Knowing this was obvious, even asking was a big burden for their side.

Ding.

“!?”

Jin Yun-ho’s eyes widened as he checked the text message.

Jinhyeok was asking if he could meet with the Vatican for some reason.

He had already informed Jinhyeok about the Vatican’s various requests after the section reinforcement.

When he replied with an update on the current situation, a phone call came in.

# Hello, Team Leader.

“Yes. Mr. Jinhyeok. You must have worked hard climbing.”

# Oh, don’t mention it. But I’m sorry for asking so suddenly.

“Sorry? The Vatican will probably be thrilled. We’ve been taking a negative stance all along.”

# But that meeting would take quite a while to go through official procedures, right?

“Hmm… Yes. We’ll try to shorten it as much as possible, but it’s a meeting between government agencies. If we accept, nearby Italian government or the Blue House will probably want to join too. Organizing those things and deciding on personnel and location will take quite some time.”

# The person actively contacting from the Vatican is a cardinal, right?

“Yes. Cardinal Carlo Monchine.”

# Could you ask him if I could visit personally?

He was momentarily speechless.

It wasn’t because it was an unreasonable request.

He just couldn’t imagine it.

How was he planning to personally visit a Vatican cardinal?

Well, since he’s a Runner, he’ll figure it out somehow?

“I’ll relay that right away. He’ll definitely say yes.”

# That’s great.

At the murmuring sounds, Jin Yun-ho carefully asked.

“But Mr. Jinhyeok? Where are you?”

# Oh, is it a bit noisy? It’s because I’m at an airport.

“An airport?”

# Yes. The airport name is… Leonardo da Vinci. I enjoyed reading the Da Vinci Code novel.

Jin Yun-ho swallowed dryly.

Leonardo da Vinci Airport. Rome, Italy.

What on earth was this.

This incredible execution power.

“I’ll contact the Cardinal right away.”

# Thank you. I’ll tell you how it went when I get back.

Jin Yun-ho hung up after the greeting.

Then he organized his thoughts and took action.

“Mi-ri. Send replies to the Blue House and Vatican. Say the meeting will be difficult.”

“Understood.”

The same request would come again soon, but it didn’t matter.

By then, the Cardinal and Jinhyeok would have finished their meeting.

“And find Cardinal Carlo Monchine’s personal contact information.”

“Yes.”

He leaned against the desk and drummed his fingers.

A mysterious smile formed on his lips.

He was already looking forward to hearing it.

The review of the meeting with the Cardinal that Jinhyeok would share when he returned.

A medieval residence located inside the Vatican in Rome.

Cardinal Carlo Monchine, who had sent a reply, narrowed his eyes.

Since they were the ones in need, he had replied that he understood, but he couldn’t get a feel for it.

How exactly was he planning to visit?

He got up from his seat and walked to the window.

This place was far from ordinary security zones.

This was the Vatican, classified as top-tier security even in Italy.

Not only the latest security systems, but personnel skilled in detection and security were deployed inside and out.

Even an invisible person couldn’t make it here undetected.

‘I should contact him again after all…’

Swoooosh!!

At the sudden sensation, he turned his head toward the window.

A specific range of divine power disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, the security team was in chaos.

# It’s the rear entrance. All divine-related equipment has lost function.

# The detectors nearby have also been disabled. Something’s wrong.

# Leave minimal personnel at each gate and provide support to the rear entrance.

Knock knock.

Had even 3 seconds passed since the knock was heard?

With a click, the locked door opened.

Someone entered wearing a cloak.

The situation was so surreal that his thoughts seemed to stop.

Then he remembered the text messages they had exchanged earlier.

“Are you perhaps…?”

The man who removed his cloak smiled brightly.

“Hello. I’m Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

Jinhyeok pointed to the door he had just opened and entered through.

“Sorry. I was going to wait until you opened it, but people were rushing over.”

Unable to wait, he had asked Kancheo, the infiltration specialist, to help.

Cardinal Carlo Monchine still had his mouth open.

It was a natural reaction.

Setting aside the method, this was much earlier than when he had expected to meet.

Knock knock.

“Cardinal? There was a commotion outside, are you alright?”

Only then did Carlo come to his senses and speak.

“Yes. There’s no problem at all, so you don’t need to worry.”

“Understood.”

Carlo dismissed the people and pointed to a sofa on one side.

“Did you also eliminate the divine power just now…?”

“Yes. I couldn’t see any opening to dig into, so I unintentionally eliminated some of it. It’ll be replenished again soon.”

Once again, dry saliva was swallowed.

Unintentionally eliminated it.

What kind of class would one need to awaken to make such a thing possible?

‘They say he always breaks expectations.’

Experiencing it firsthand, he could understand.

Why such words had spread in the world.

Carlo sat down after bringing two cups of coffee.

The surprise ends here.

There’s much to discuss.

“I heard you reinforced the 81st floor section. You also climbed up to the 85th floor.”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

“Would you tell me the related story?”

He took a sip of coffee.

And smiled at the corner of his mouth.

He would tell the story.

That’s why he came here.

But first, there’s something he needs a definite answer to.

“It might be rude to say this right after arriving, but actually, the reason I came is to make a proposal.”

“A proposal?”

He took out a sheet of paper from his chest and handed it over.

It was something Dark had drawn in Momo’s sketchbook that he had torn out.

Carlo’s eyes widened as he examined the drawing.

He could immediately tell what it depicted.

The Pauline Chapel located inside the Vatican.

“How did you…?”

It’s a place only the Pope and Cardinals can enter, and the chapel has never been publicly revealed even once.

Jinhyeok drew a satisfied smile at Carlo’s reaction.

The places that the Yodel Compass and dandelion seeds had repeatedly drawn.

They were the chapel in the drawing he just handed over and the Vatican Palace in Rome.

And lastly, one more thing.

He presented a drawing he had carefully folded away.

“There’s a statue like this in the chapel, right?”

Carlo slowly nodded his head.

When he could even depict the statue in the innermost part, what more was there to hide?

“It’s Michelangelo’s statue, Saint Peter’s Cross.”

Michelangelo, the great sculptor and artist representing the Renaissance era.

It was something he had personally carved when the chapel was built.

After thinking for a moment, Carlo continued speaking.

“Are the proposal you just mentioned, the Pauline Chapel, and Michelangelo’s statue related?”

“Yes. They’re closely related. Before I tell you what it is, when you hear my proposal, the story I’ll tell you is related to the Divine Realm deity Azriel. More precisely, it’s about his resurrection and the heretics who desire it.”

“!!!!”

Carlo’s calm body stirred.

This was the story he most wanted to hear from Korea and the Runner.

“Please tell me your proposal.”

The moment Carlo heard the keywords Azriel and resurrection, he had made up his mind.

He would accept whatever proposal the Runner made.

“Give me that statue.”

Except for such ridiculous nonsense like this.

How long had it been?

Since he almost shouted at someone.

At least since becoming a priest, it had never happened once.

Cold sweat flowed down Jinhyeok’s back.

Carlo’s face showing tremendous changes in real time.

This must be what it feels like to curse with one’s face.

“As additional information, even if Italian Players reinforce that section, a completely different floor will appear. I’m the only one in the world who received a request from God Azriel.”

Sweat also flowed down Carlo’s temple.

It was a fact he already knew, though he hadn’t revealed it externally.

While the Runner entered the Tower, Vatican Players had quietly tried reinforcing the 81st floor.

They searched thoroughly but couldn’t find the information they wanted.

In other words, the information Carlo wanted was known only by the Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok before his eyes.

Carlo, who had taken deep breaths dozens of times, barely managed to speak.

“Even if I wanted to give you the statue, making a hundred or thousand concessions, the Vatican would absolutely not allow it. Unless Michelangelo were alive to create an identical statue… Huh?”

Carlo’s mouth fell open once again.

Jinhyeok rummaged around and pulled out a statue that looked exactly like Saint Peter’s Cross.

It was made by Teacher Daemomo, whose craftsmanship was extraordinary.

“The lacking details will be perfectly filled in if you show me the real thing.”

Carlo, who had been speechless for a long time, opened his mouth.

“What exactly are you planning to do with that statue?”

Since it was the question he’d been waiting for.

“After resurrecting God Azriel.”

He answered with a bright smile.

“I’m going to kill him completely. So he can never come back to life.”

Cardinal Carlo Monchine’s pupils shook greatly.

A story that far exceeded what Carlo had hoped for, an ultimate solution if only it were possible.

Though he had made an outrageous request, it was a temptation too sweet to ignore.

Several hours after Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok’s visit.

Cardinal Carlo Monchine entered the Pauline Chapel and clasped his hands together.

And toward Michelangelo’s statue Saint Peter’s Cross… more precisely.

‘God, please forgive me.’

He offered a prayer of apology toward the fake statue that Yoo Jin-hyeok had switched.

Ding!
