By Seeing Beasts' Training Paths, My Beast Became Invincible-Chapter 44: Pope Luke’s hobby
Ursa asked, her voice carrying a hint of worry.
"It’s really fine?... I don’t think giving a hidden card to a rival land is a good idea."
Rocky shrugged slightly and said,
"Don’t worry. They can’t analyze my pill, so making another one is impossible."
It was a big mistake by his cousin.
Just because he possessed the fire pills didn’t mean he had the formula to produce them.
Even the plant association was powerless to analyze his fire pills, let alone a land that was too green to be capable of doing that
The fire pills from the system always carried unique traits that no one could analyze to recreate.
He possessed the exclusive rights to that formula.
One day passed.
Rocky, Ursa, Nicole, and Diana sat on a long bench in the vast church. A lot of people were heading to the other long benches.
All of them wore eager expressions, waiting for Pope Luke to preach.
Nicole blinked as she glanced around the church in surprise. Even though she had lived in the castle of the Kingdom, compared to this place, it was still smaller.
"It seems I underestimated the citizens’ belief in God in this land."
Rocky’s attention was focused on an old man wearing the distinctive outfit of the believers in front.
He smiled brightly, making everyone nearby feel he was a good man.
He cleared his throat and began to preach.
Ursa pulled Nicole’s hand back to their seat and grumbled,
"Nicole, don’t act naughty. Otherwise, Pope Luke will have a bad impression of us. We need his help."
Nicole pouted and slowly stepped closer to Rocky. Her face looked sad when Ursa stopped her from taking in the view of the church.
Rocky smiled and rubbed her head as usual.
"I’m gonna take you to look around at the end today."
The next moment, Nicole smiled brightly and grabbed Rocky’s hand, pressing it to her head again.
"Thank you, big bro... you’re always good to me, not like someone."
Ursa just let out a long breath and said,
(Rocky, you’re spoiling her.)
Two hours went by.
Rocky and his group headed to Pope Luke after he finished his preaching.
’’Greetings, Pope Luke. We’re cousins of King Johnny. I suppose you’ve received his message and know why we’re here.’’
The Pope nodded politely and glanced at Diana, who was standing behind them. He frowned for a moment, then said,
’’I see... First, follow me. We’ll have some tea before discussing your sister. I already know about her situation.’’ 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
’’Don’t worry. I can handle this.’’
Rocky, Ursa, and Nicole let out long breaths as if a burden had just been lifted from their chests.
Finally, Diana could return.
Ursa and Nicole’s eyes were tearful as they happily hugged Diana.
Rocky nodded in satisfaction.
’’First, I want to thank you in advance.’’
Luke simply nodded and said,
’’There’s no need to thank me. It’s a trade-off. Thanks to that, I don’t have any complicated feelings toward your cousin. I should be the one thanking you.’’
Just like that, all of them headed to the garden behind the church.
Rocky glanced around in surprise, as he could see many kinds of plants growing there.
He even had to stop Bobby from doing anything weird to the Pope’s garden. After all, Bobby possessed a nose capable of smelling plants extremely well.
(The Pope’s garden is a treasure... I’m sure of it.)
It was rare to find a forest or any place that could catch Bobby’s attention like this.
Pope Luke smiled when he saw the ape’s actions on Rocky’s shoulder.
He said,
’’Your ape is a good beast, and it seems to have a high affinity with plants... Actually, I’ve collected many plants from around the world in this garden. So that explains your beast’s reaction... No beast can escape the attraction of these plants, especially if they come from a high-ranked one.’’
He glanced at Rocky’s beast for a while, then rubbed his chin.
A thought sparked in his mind.
’’You guys can pick a single plant from my garden. It’s a small gift for you.’’
Rocky and Bobby perked up in amusement.
Rocky cleared his throat, his voice humble. Bobby also nodded.
’’If so, we’re very grateful for your kindness.’’
He summoned the system screen as his beast kept shaking its head nonstop. It seemed Bobby was trying to tell him something.

Rocky rubbed his chin while looking at the system screen.
(Corpsehand Flower? That’s a bizarre name.)
Rocky hesitated for a moment, then asked the poke,
’’You said you’ve collected almost all the plants in the world, right?’’
Luke smiled.
’’Forgive this old man. It was an exaggeration. But I can assure you, most of the plants in the land of Lunaris are in my garden.’’
Rocky paused for a while.
’’So... is there any other garden?’’
The Pope frowned.
He didn’t expect Rocky to ask that, because he did have another garden. He had always concealed it with a thick mist to keep certain annoying traits away from it.
’’Yes, I do.’’
He stood up and spoke to Ursa and Nicole.
’’You two can look around here for plants, while we head to the other garden. That place is quite special. I think only his beast can enter it.’’
Ursa nodded, while Nicole gave Rocky a thumbs-up.
’’Try to get it. I believe in you, big bro.’’
***
Luke and Rocky slowly approached the deepest part of the garden.
Luke glanced at Rocky’s beasts and said,
’’Your beast is quite strange. It doesn’t look like any beast from the back zone I’ve ever seen before.’’
’’Can I ask how you found it in the black zone?’’
Rocky frowned for a moment before answering.
’’Well, actually, I don’t know. My beast taming is trash, so I just picked them randomly.’’
Luke smirked.
’’That’s really lucky.’’
Rocky just nodded indifferently. His eyes shifted into alert mode. That old man gave him a strange feeling — even his beasts seemed uneasy.
He glanced at Matt, who was still leaning on his shoulder, yet staring at the place warily.
He summoned the system.
