The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

"This is a dark space, a human body blessing formation!" Lucy explained: "It has a purpose in the dark world, that is, to isolate the rebirth brand on your body and the induction of rebirth teaching people."

The secret technique of the Dark Holy See is so strange that it can have such an effect. Ye Ling couldn't help being amazed, but at the same time he said a little depressed: "Since you have this method that can isolate the brand of rebirth, you can't help it if you don't want to help." Forget it, why did you trick me into going back to the Holy See?"

"Idiot, I didn't lie to you," Lucy cursed angrily, "Yes, the dark space can protect you from being chased by Rebirth Cult, but its effect is temporary, at most it can It's only for a few hours, if you leave me, if you can't add a second one in time, you will still die!"

"Oh, so that's the case!" Ye Ling rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I blamed you by mistake."

Lucy gave him another look: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, come with me!"

After saying that, her figure disappeared again. It seems that this is not her destination, so Ye Ling had no choice but to continue to follow her, and flew at full speed for at least 20 minutes. She was already far away from the headquarters of the Holy See, and arrived at the side of a lake. , Lucy stopped and reappeared.

This lake is very beautiful, the lake water is clear and clear, and there are a lot of white giant lotus floating on the water surface. This is a kind of plant that can float on the water and can survive without taking root in the soil. It moves with the breeze like a natural boat.

Jumping into a giant white lotus, Lucy beckoned to Ye Ling and said, "Come here."

Ye Ling thought for a while, and jumped on it. The space inside this giant lotus is very spacious, enough to accommodate several people, but it doesn't look awkward.

This kind of natural boat is very interesting, because it is composed of petals, exuding a faint, refreshing fragrance.

I have to say that this is really a good place with elegant scenery, relaxed atmosphere and suitable for leisure.

What made Ye Ling puzzled was how could Lucy suddenly be so idle... Oh, no, it should be because she was so bored and came here to play with herself.

Lucy was a little nervous, and the giant white lotus floated towards the center of the lake. There are so many giant lotuses on the water surface, and each one is very big. The existence of human beings seems to have come to an unknown world.

The rhythm in the gray restricted zone is busy and tense, because there are too many deadly challenges here, so Ye Ling is always tense, but in this flower lake, his mood suddenly relaxes, leaning on On a flower petal opposite Lucy, Ye Ling raised his legs leisurely, Ye Ling praised: "This place is really nice, how did you find it?"

Lucy smiled and said: "Actually, this lake already existed here before the city of Turin was established. I like it very much, so I asked the people in the urban planning department not to destroy it, and named it Qingxin Lake. When I’m in a bad mood, I’ll come over and take a rest.”

"Qingxin Lake..." Ye Ling read it twice in a low voice, and then: "As the name suggests, the lake cleans the soul and keeps away from disputes. It's very good! But, Miss Lucy, it doesn't seem like it's time for you to let go of your mundane affairs. Well, I heard that the election of the new pope in your Holy See will be held in a week, this is a grand event, and you are indispensable!"

"I do hope that I don't care about anything, at least for now!" Lucy was half lying on the white petals, and at this time she finally looked no longer the omnipotent dark goddess, but a weak woman. Woman, this made Ye Ling have a vague premonition that the selection of the new pope by the Dark Holy See might hide hidden contradictions, and it was this that made Lucy go crazy.

Rubbing her hair that was disheveled by the breeze, Lucy said casually: "Hey, little idiot, let me ask you a question. If you were me, between being loyal to the Pope and the Holy See, if you couldn't have both, what would you do? How to choose?"

"The Pope?" Ye Ling was puzzled: "Isn't your new Pope elected yet? Why can't you be loyal to him and the Holy See? Oh, you are worried about Wei Wen, for fear that the Archbishop will really agree Did he fulfill his wish? Don't worry, even if the archbishop becomes the pope, he can't do anything wrong. Isn't the pope also under the supervision of you and the bishops? drop him."

"It's not about Archbishop Vieri, but the last pope, the one who revived our dark church." Referring to the sixteenth pope, Lucy's eyes were full of reverence: "He is a great, incredible leader, The eight bishops of the Holy See, as well as many high-ranking officials, were personally trained by him, and the rapid development of the Holy See to today's scale is largely due to the guidance of his grand plans."

"Oh, the last pope?" Ye Ling became a little interested: "According to what you said, he is indeed great and the most suitable to lead the dark church, but why did this pope leave?"

Lucy sighed and said, "He left voluntarily. It happened many years ago. No one knows the reason, including the dark goddess of the previous generation and all the archbishops. This is a mystery in the dark church."

Ye Ling asked: "Then what does this have to do with your current troubles?"

"I can only tell you that the election of the new pope has some conflicts with the wishes of the previous pope, and it was created by people he personally trained, but it may be beneficial to the future of the Holy See." Lucy has already revealed She still has to keep a lot of secrets of the Dark Holy See, some key things, but she just expressed the meaning in a tactful way: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Ye Ling pondered for a while: "If the former pope is really as wise as you said, his wishes should be reasonable, but, as you said, the former pope has been away for many years, and the world's The situation is changing every day, and perhaps his wishes are no longer suitable for the current era. In any case, the Pope is just an individual, he only leads the Holy See, and serves the Holy See, and the Holy See is a collective, if we take In terms of personal opinion, no matter what happens, the individual must submit to the collective. Objectively speaking, the appearance of the new Pope is beneficial to your Holy See. After all, the country cannot live without a king, and the church cannot be without the Pope!"

"Even you think so," Lucy said annoyedly, "Is it my fault?"

"I don't know if you are right or wrong. This is an internal matter of your church." Ye Ling laughed, and then said: "As for the personal point of view, I don't want that archbishop to become the new pope." , It seems that many people say how good he is, but he can't even control his own grandson. A competent grandfather is not counted. I don't think he can really manage the Holy See well. Lucy, if you run for I will raise my hands to support the Pope’s words, but it’s a pity that I don’t have the right to vote!”

Lucy laughed, noncommittal: "If you were me, would you run for the new pope?"

"Nonono!" Ye Ling shook his head violently without thinking: "Don't always compare me with you, everyone has different personalities and pursuits, I am the kind of person who likes a free and adventurous life, yes The Pope has no interest at all, if you really sit in this position, tsk tsk, handle so many official duties every day, and can't go anywhere casually, then you might as well kill me with one knife!"

Lucy laughed dumbly and said: "Could it be that sitting on the pope's seat is similar to sitting in prison? You have to know, how many people want to be the lord of our dark church, and stand on the pinnacle of this world from now on, commanding the wind and rain."

"For me, it's almost like being in prison. No amount of power can compare to freedom," Ye Ling said on the spur of the moment, "Life is precious, and love is even more expensive. If it's for freedom, You can throw both!"

Lucy clicked, her memory was pretty good, and she immediately chanted: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be very talented, but I don't understand, is freedom really that important?"

She is a person who has been designated as the heiress of the dark sky since she was a child, and has lost her freedom. She has never known the taste of freedom. To be free, she would never do it.

Ye Ling smiled and said: "You won't understand, think about it, many captured birds are kept in gorgeous cages, and they no longer have to work hard to find food, but they would rather keep hitting the cages , until I die, because no matter how superior the conditions are, they can’t compare to the boundless blue sky where they are allowed to soar.”

Lucy was thoughtful: "Well, what you said makes sense. I have never considered this kind of problem from other angles."

The two chatted, the topic gradually diverted from the Holy See to other things, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. Lucy's frowning brows also unknowingly relaxed. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Jianyue has reached the mid-heaven, and then began to descend from the mid-heaven, but it is the middle of the night.

"Oh, it's already so late!" Lucy, who noticed it, stood up quickly: "The duration of the dark space is almost over, we have to go back, hey, thank you for staying with me for so long tonight!"

Although Ye Ling didn't give any constructive advice, and later talked about some irrelevant topics, Lucy always felt much more comfortable.

Ye Ling also stood up and said, "I should be the one thanking you for taking in me, a poor person who will be hacked by gangsters with kitchen knives wherever I go."

"Little gangster?" Lucy smiled again: "Well, if the Rebirth Cult can only be regarded as a gangster, then most of the gangs in the gray forbidden area are paper tigers. Your tone is really not small, completely Have you forgotten how you were chopped into meat paste by a kitchen knife?"

"How could I forget? It's because of fear that I want to comfort myself like this. Fortunately, there is a personal bodyguard by my side now, so I don't have to worry too much for the time being."

"Go, who is your bodyguard, go to hell!"

"..."

The night is thick, somewhere in the dark Holy See.

During the daytime, the headquarters of the Holy See is always shrouded in a hazy veil under the shroud of the Dark Realm, and it is even more mysterious in the middle of the night.

However, a ghostly figure is still moving in a certain antique house. He is walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. His black robe is different from ordinary priests and priests. His style is unique in the Holy See. Yes, it turned out to be Archbishop Vieri in black.

He didn't sleep so late because he was waiting for someone.

Before that person came back, Vieri kept walking with a stern face. At this moment, he was thinking about something in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Lucy would do such a trick.

Female candidate, damn female candidate!

If Lucy hadn't proposed to abolish the regulations prohibiting women from running for the Pope, he would have no opponents in the Dark Vatican, and becoming Pope is just around the corner!

Now, the outcome is uncertain.

Vieri believed that his prestige, ability, status, and qualifications in the Holy See were enough to win the votes of countless congregants.

It's just that the dark goddess is also the image endorsement of the Holy See. The Holy See has deliberately created this perfect woman, which makes Lucy's status in the hearts of all congregants lofty and aloof, which is enough to bring a huge threat to Vieri. I have to be scruples and admit that my dreams may fail.

In general, Vieri thinks his odds of winning are still higher, probably [-]% compared to Lucy.

A slight advantage is not enough. Vieri cannot tolerate his odds of winning below [-]%. What he needs is "inevitable" rather than "probable". He has been waiting for this day and has been thinking hard for many years. There is no room for loss!

There are still a few days before the general election. If she can find a good opportunity to make her status in the hearts of the congregation plummet, then her position will be assured.

However, this is not an easy task. There must be a good opportunity to make Lucy lose the trust of the heavier people.

The person who sent out the follower has been away for so long, and he should be back soon.

While thinking about it, Vieri suddenly noticed, came back to his senses, looked at the darkness in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"

A shadow flashed out from the thick night and came to Vieri, just about to salute, Vieri waved his hand and said: "There is no need to salute, tell me what you find."
