I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 136 Partners Gathered

Only after the man died "accidentally" did Phil Gray leave and return to the plantation.

"Cousin, you're back. I have asked them to burn all the useless or harmful crops in this plantation. The rest can be sold for a lot of money." Patrick came over. It was already night, but the moonlight was bright, and the empty land of the plantation showed that it had been cleaned up.

"That's good. We've finally gotten rid of the poverty we were in when we first escaped." Phil Gray smiled.

"Hey, Edith made a delicious meal, cousin, please taste it."

"So amazing, he can even cook!" Phil Gray couldn't help but look sideways.

They set up dinner under the moonlight at night and listened to Edith tell about her adventures at sea. It had been a long time since they had such a pleasant time.

"If only that guy were here, I would definitely let him see how charming I am!"

Phil Gray knew Patrick was talking about Eli.

But they should be able to meet soon.

He had a vague premonition.

……

They and the pirates searched the island carefully for two days, and finally heard that a new manager had come to the plantation of the God of Food Cult a few days ago. He was a follower of the God of Life and was good at cultivating various crops, especially growing flowers and plants.

"This must be Eli, but how did he get to the plantation of the God of Food?" Patrick said firmly.

"That's unclear, just like we didn't expect you to be with the pirates." Phil Gray thought for a moment, "Is it far from here? Let's go over and visit now."

"If we ride a horse, it might take half a day." Patrick calculated in his mind and replied.

"Horse riding?" This might be a good opportunity for him to learn how to ride a horse.

"Here, this is the horse!" Patrick brought a white horse. "This horse is called Snowflake. It's very docile. Cousin, you can try it."

"This horse looks beautiful, but I'm not very good at riding a horse. Can you teach me some basic skills?" Phil Gray said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course, riding a horse is not difficult, as long as you master some key points." Patrick said with a smile, "First, you have to wear safety equipment, such as helmets, gloves, breeches and leggings, to protect you from falling or abrasions. Secondly, you have to check whether the harness is strong, whether the saddle is in the right position, whether the stirrup straps are of appropriate length, and whether the belly straps are tight. Thirdly, you have to pay attention to the horse's behavior and expression, do not approach the horse from the front or back, do not make sudden movements or sounds to scare the horse, and do not feed the horse food with your fingers. Finally, you have to learn basic skills such as holding the reins, mounting the horse, giving instructions, and coping postures."

"Thank you, let me give it a try." Phil Gray was eager to try, and he followed Patrick's instructions and gently patted Snowflake's neck, feeling its soft and smooth hair.

"Very good, now you can try to get on the horse." Patrick said, "Remember, you have to get on the horse from the left side. Grab the reins and mane with your left hand, support the saddle with your right hand, step your left foot into the left stirrup, jump up and straddle the horse's back, and then step your right foot into the right stirrup. The whole movement should be fast and smooth."

Phil Gray nodded and imitated Patrick's instructions. He found that getting on the horse was not as difficult as he had imagined, but it was a little unstable.

"Don't be nervous, relax a little." Patrick comforted him, "I'm getting on my horse too, let's go together."

They both rode their horses along the path. Phil Gray felt the lightness and power of Snowflake moving his limbs beneath him, and he tried to squeeze his calves against the sides of the horse's belly and control the direction and speed with the reins.

"This feels really good!" He couldn't help but exclaim. Before on Earth, he was used to driving, but he had never tried this way.

"Hey, cousin, you can ask Ernest to teach you some advanced techniques later. Knights can be most effective on horseback."

"it is good."

After riding for half a day, they arrived near the center of Malu Island, where the plantation of the God of Food Cult was located.

In order to collect gourmet ingredients from all over the world, the God of Food Cult has established numerous plantations, bases, etc. Only by ensuring the quality of the ingredients can high-end gourmet food be made.

"What a huge estate! It's incomparable to Jonas Plantation."

Patrick exclaimed.

"Welcome to the plantation of the Church of the God of Food, my dear guests. May I ask what may I do for you?"

At the gate of the manor, a woman in a light green dress came over. She had a wheat ear-shaped hairpin on her head and looked at the two people who dismounted with curiosity.

It was almost dusk and the manor was about to close its gates completely.

"Hello, is your new manager called Eli?" Phil Gray asked straight to the point.

"Ah, let me see the list for you. He should have registered yesterday." The woman was very enthusiastic. She entered the wooden house at the entrance of the manor and came out after a while.

"How is it?" Patrick asked anxiously.

"Yes, his name is Eli. What do you want to see him about? He is in charge of the edible flower area and should not have left yet. Shall I take you to see him?" the woman asked.

"That's great!"

Phil Gray and Patrick looked at each other and said happily at the same time.

Passing by fields of green crops and huge pumpkins, they finally came to a flower bed filled with colorful flowers.

"That seems to be his style." Phil Gray laughed, and sure enough, he saw a well-dressed blond man leaning against the wall in deep thought.

"Hey, Eli, did you miss me?"

Patrick jumped in front of him, startling Eli.

"Oh, it's you, you silly guy, and... Phil, you, you came out of the abyss?" Eli's face was full of disbelief, but more of surprise.

"Yes, if you hadn't come out, I wouldn't have known that you had forgotten your boss so quickly and came to work for the God of Cookery." Phil Gray teased.

Eli shook his head repeatedly. "No, I jumped out of the boat that day and wandered on the sea for a few days. A ship from the God of Food passed by, so I followed them to this island, thinking of finding this stupid guy first, and then working together to find a way to rescue you from the abyss. To be honest, I've already thought about going to the Church of the Dead."

"Gentlemen, the plantation is about to be locked. Do you want to stay here?" The woman in green couldn't help but remind them.

"Ah, stay. Let me recommend you some delicious food from the God of Cookery." Eli smiled, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
