The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

In the evening, the public cafeteria of the Dark Vatican was full of people, and the congregants were all talking about tomorrow's Pope election.

"Hey, do you have the final candidate?"

"I have already decided to support Archbishop Vieri. Archbishop Vieri has done so much for the Holy See over the years, and he is such a good person. No one else can be the Pope!"

"Yeah, originally I thought Her Majesty the Holy Maiden was also a good candidate, but after much deliberation, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden is a woman after all, and if a woman is the master of the Holy See, it would be too much to say this."

"Hmph, what's wrong with women? Why can't women be popes? There are several popes in the Holy See of the Star Alliance who are women. Don't discriminate against us. I will support Her Royal Highness. Hey, Kali, who do you support!"

"There's no need to say that, Leimeng, if you support Her Majesty the Holy Maiden, I'm naturally on your side too!"

"Hehe, it would be great if Her Majesty the Holy Maiden ascends to the Pope's position. Don't forget that she and Miss Selina from Hurricane Ninetowns are good friends. If the Dark Holy See can establish an ally relationship with Dream Paradise because of this , which is of great significance.”

"..."

From people's discussions, it can be found that the focus of this Pope's election is basically on Vieri and Lucy. There are actually quite a few candidates, including the seven archbishops (the bishop in yellow has been killed), the leader of the Dark Knight , the head of the adjudication team, the dean of the Holy Amnesty, and other important high-level members, and members of the lower level, have a lot of fame among the congregation. High priests, cardinals, and even missionaries who have been set up as role models by the Holy See may become new The candidates for the pope, combined with the headquarters and divisions, totaled more than two hundred people.

However, although there are many people, all the congregants know that the new pope will definitely be born among Vieri and Lucy, let alone the secondary members, even the other six people inside and outside Vieri. The archbishop has not been mentioned much, and now what is left is the question of whether Vieri or Lucy will be the new pope, and everyone else is a foil.

Needless to say, Vieri's support rate is the choice of the public. As for Lucy, due to the first reform of the Holy See, many female congregants who think they have been treated unfairly hope that a female pope can further improve women's education. Therefore, a large number of female congregants led by women's rights organizations have become an important force supporting Lucy.

In addition, the Dark Vatican does not prohibit free love between believers. There are many couples in the Vatican headquarters. here.

As for Selena, she also contributed a lot to Lucy's general election. Some congregants were indeed influenced by her, and the efforts of Princess Fantasy were not in vain.

The two parties involved at this time were also in the public dining hall. The dark bishop Vieri was still approachable. Even during the meal, he always smiled and nodded to every congregation who greeted him. , this good popularity earned him more points in the Pope's election.

And Lucy was sitting in a corner, eating quietly. She didn't seem to be listening to the discussion of the congregation, and she never paid attention to it, but was a little absent-minded.

The day of the general election is finally approaching, but she is conflicted.

She hoped to obey the oracle of the former Pope and waited for the appearance of the Chosen Son, so she did not want the Pope to fall into the hands of others.However, from a personal point of view, Lucy did not want to be the Pope at all.

Once becoming the Pope, it means that her life will undergo tremendous changes, and the burden on her shoulders will be even heavier, because the fate of tens of thousands of people in the entire Dark Holy See is closely related to her.Lucy is a strong woman, but she is also a woman after all. What she wants to do is to help others, not to be the protagonist.

This kind of ambivalence and tremendous pressure was not so obvious a few days ago, but now Lucy is very anxious.

Because she found that every time she went to another hospital to talk to Ye Ling casually, she would feel much better, but now she hadn't seen Ye Ling for several days, and those troubles began to accumulate again, which made her worry about gains and losses.

Why, he hasn't come back these days?

Well, by the way, he is the kind of madman who only thinks about cultivation. He was able to take so much time to chat with me a few days ago, which is already very good.

Probably.

Lucy convinced herself, but now she still hopes for no reason that Ye Ling can suddenly appear in front of her and talk to her, even if it is insignificant, and her mood can be calmed down.

While in a trance, a person suddenly sat down in the seat in front of her: "Hi, Lucy."

Lucy came back to her senses and said in surprise, "Hua Xin? Why is it so early today?"

She knew that Hua Xin was influenced by Ye Ling. This beauty from the Hundred Flowers clan was also very hard-working. Most of the time, dinner was spent in the practice field. Just eat some dry food. It is very early for her now. of.

Hua Xin smiled and said, "Hehe, yes, because someone asked me to deliver a message, I almost forgot."

Lucy wondered, "Who? What news?"

Hua Xin lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear: "Ye Ling asked me to tell you that he wants to see you at Qingxin Lake outside the Holy See."

Lucy was surprised, Ye Ling wanted to see her uncharacteristically, and it was at Qingxin Lake, a place that was very important to her.

After hesitating for a while, Lucy asked: "What, Ye Ling really said that, why didn't he come and tell me in person, and why did he have to go to Qingxin Lake?"

Hua Xin explained: "Because Ye Ling is worried about the gossip in the Holy See, you had too much contact with him a while ago, which may affect your image of a saint, and even affect the Pope's election, so Deliberately avoid it."

Lucy suddenly said: "Oh, so that's the case. I said why I haven't seen him these days, but why does Ye Ling want to see me again tonight?"

"He said, as your friend, I want to cheer you up before the general election, but there are too many eyes and ears in the Holy See, so it would be better to find a secluded place." Hua Xin smiled and said, "Now he should be in Qingxin Lake is waiting, but if you don't have time, you don't have to go there, if you don't go before eight o'clock, you have something to do and don't have time to get away, and he will leave naturally."

Lucy thought for a while. At nine o'clock tonight, more than 200 pope candidates from the Holy See will gather for a meeting related to the election. Everyone must attend at that time, otherwise they will be treated as abstentions. It would not be wise to leave the Holy See at this time Act of.

However, Lucy was very eager to chat with Ye Ling casually. For some reason, she was very used to the feeling Ye Ling gave her. Even if she just talked about some ordinary topics, it could greatly relieve the anxiety in her heart.
