Not a Witch

The Frost Rose has seven petals, and the seven petals are one.Now they have to fulfill the promises and ideals they set at the beginning.

Chapter 130 VII Pope's Coronation

The Holy Mountain of Karen Riel finally ushered in the Pope's election.

If everyone was still hesitating about who to choose to be the next pope, but with the events of the past month, Binnes became the only candidate.

The first is the downfall of Sibis, and a large number of people in his faction were imprisoned, suspended and imprisoned, losing all prestige and reputation.

In addition, although Otis was preserved, his prestige was also challenged a lot. Many of the previously hidden problems were thrown out by the remnants of Sibis in the counterattack, making them tired of explaining and sorting out.In addition, inside the Holy Mountain, under the siege of the Knights of the Holy Lance, such an astonishing assassination happened, which also made him lose face.No matter how hard it is to respond confidently to everyone's questions.

In this way, after the two candidates with the highest qualifications and popularity withdrew, among the remaining candidates, except Charente, no one had the corresponding strength and prestige to reach the Pope's threshold.

In the Seraph Cathedral on the top of the Holy Mountain, 163 archbishops, 625 bishops, 234 priests, and 129 paladin leaders gathered together.

They will vote on the next pope.

"Now, the voting begins!"

The bishop, wearing a golden-red capacious robe, stepped up to the stage and knocked down the small hammer in front of him. The sound of a jade chime echoed in the hall of the church, and then spread to the high dome.

The white and complex exquisite carvings are all over this church. On the pillars, window sills, walls, domes, and even handrails and guardrails, angels, wings, shells, waves, branches and leaves, flowers, etc. jointly construct this splendid and magnificent church. .

And when the afternoon sun shines into the room through the colored windows, you can also see the gradient halo slightly refracted in the air, making people feel like they are in heaven.

Lorraine Hill was wearing a nun's attire with a silver-trimmed black robe, standing on the edge of the hall, looking at the quiet and sacred voting scene, feeling the unique solemn atmosphere of the venue.

The clergymen in neat and elegant robes moved forward one by one in line and cast their votes in the transparent glass box.

When the sun was setting, under the watchful eyes of many transcendent people, the envelopes were opened one by one, revealed, and counted.

In the end, Binnes won with 70% of the votes.

Aquarius Palace Inner Palace, in the small hall on the second floor.

Binnes and Lorraine Hill sat opposite each other.

"Is your body recovering well? I heard from the nun who took care of you that you are still sleepy recently, and sometimes you can fall asleep just by sitting in the yard."

"It will probably take a while to fully recover, but it won't affect much. If you concentrate, you still won't fall asleep." Lorraine Hill stroked the hair next to his ear with some embarrassment, and said so.

"Then take a good rest, and don't worry about the college's assessment. Hehe, I will give you an evaluation."

After getting acquainted with Lorraine Hill, Binnes made fun of the 17-year-old silver-haired girl in front of her.

"This...uh, thank you Benny." Lorraine Hill couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, so she had to accept her kindness obediently.

After chatting with Lorraine Hill for a while and getting to know each other's recent situation, Benesse also started to talk about business.

"According to our recent report from the Frost Rose branch, the entire Frost Alliance has been mobilized, and a large number of soldiers have begun to gather at the border. In the port, a golem has also been sent to a steel warship, ready to Set sail. In the sky of Mozwa, airships can be seen rising into the sky every day."

"This time they almost poured all their strength into the country and started to mobilize and prepare for war." Bines said the recent worrying news.

"I see. I will immediately notify Crancia's internal staff and let them act quickly." Knowing that this matter is no small matter, Lorraine Hill's expression became serious.

"Well, if necessary, we will also send a 'team' to support you."

When Binnes said the word team, she emphasized her voice, which seemed to indicate that this team was extraordinary.

"Thank you." Lorraine Hill stood up to thank, and then looked out the window at the distant sky.

It seems that this war is inevitable.

Silverfinches fly out of the pages of the book, and they will carry these urgent messages through the stratospheric clouds and the sky to various places in Crancia and Verga, announcing the arrival of this crisis.

----

Three days later, in the Pope's Hall.

Benesse was sitting in front of the silver mirror, and a few nuns behind her were helping her dress up. She was wearing a gold-edged scarlet cloak embroidered with exquisite and lifelike wings. She was still wearing a pure white robe that showed her curves. The cuffs The collar and collar are intricate and delicate gold leaf patterns.

Slightly different from before, the pure white robe is embroidered with feather patterns with dark threads that refract light. When viewed against the sun, the feathers will reflect a faint golden color under the sun.

When everything was dressed, accompanied by six high-ranking priests, the new pope walked slowly into the hall of the church.

Today is the coronation of the Pope.

Standing neatly on both sides of the hall were high-ranking Transcendents in the church. The scene where thousands of people gathered was extremely quiet at the moment, watching the female pope walk slowly through the crowd.

When Benesse stepped onto the white-lit reception desk, the two old priests on the left and right announced in unison that the ceremony had begun.

First of all, Binnes first explained her own ideas and the future innovation policy of the church to all the high-level church leaders present.

She has said these many times recently, but the people present still applauded warmly, because it means that Benesse has made her oath of office.

Afterwards, Benesse turned around and faced the rear of the high platform.The huge curtain was slowly opened, revealing a huge angel statue about 100 meters high.

This statue is similar to a relief. Most of the angel's body is submerged in the stone wall. Her eyes are slightly closed and her hands are open. The three pairs of slender and wide wings behind her appear in the stone wall, lifelike.

The appearance of the angel is dignified and beautiful, and the eyelashes under the eyes are also shown in the fine carvings. Her upper body is leaning forward, revealing a beautiful and beautiful body curve, and she is wearing a soft robe. Even if it is a stone carving, it can still make people feel Feel a lightness and softness.

It is said that this statue was completed shortly after the War of Chaos by gathering hundreds of famous sculptors. They spent several years carefully carving it, and then invited successive popes and archbishops to continuously reinforce it. symbol of the church.

The benevolent and beautiful angel, sacred and beautiful, has caused countless people to be shocked and convinced by this beauty the moment they see it.

At this moment, Benesse knelt down on one knee, pressed her hand on the stone wall in front of her, and recited the oath passed down by the popes of all ages.

"I will become a pure white flame that burns"

"Dispelling the haze of confusion"

"Defend the last order of this world"

"no matter how many times"

"From the Darkness"

"From Under All Evil"

"Out of all despair and chaos"

Chapter 130 Eighth Late Dusk

When Benesse became the new pope of the church, she immediately began to rectify various internal problems.

Among them, the training mechanism, assessment mechanism, election mechanism, etc. were repeatedly discussed in the meetings held, trying to determine a relatively fair new system.

During the discussion, Lorraine Hill also attended the meeting for the first time as the sage of Crancia.She will be involved in this change within the Church as an advisor and diplomatic envoy.

Of course, when she changed her identity, she also took off the pendant she was wearing before, and restored her original appearance.This shocked all the bishops and priests present.

Many people thought in a trance that this sage descended from an angel, because the breath and soul were too similar to those of a high-ranking angel.

Because of this, the original feelings of repelling outsiders also dissipated immediately, replaced by various curiosity and speculation.And because of the goodwill towards this silver-haired 'angel', the church also became more friendly towards Clancia in the next few meetings.

"Then, the new system within the church has been finalized. It will be announced at the headquarters and each branch."

The presiding priest at the meeting read out the new system negotiated and formulated during this period, and then began to talk about external matters.

"It is foreseeable that Frostrose's war against Clancia is about to begin."

"According to the policy set before, we will give limited support to Clancia and provide several medical teams. If you want to participate, you can sign up." After speaking, the host scanned the venue.

Almost all the people present at the meeting place are above Sequence 6, and they are high-level transcendents in the church, and many of them are also bishops.After hearing the host's reading, sporadic people raised their hands.

Lorraine Hill was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, which was on the right side of Binnes.She looked at the volunteers who raised their hands, and one of the familiar faces smiled at her.

That's...Jua?The girl recalled the bishop she had seen in Hoplander. When she fought Zenep, her appearance and hair color were not hidden. The priest probably recognized her.

But judging by her friendly appearance, she shouldn't talk nonsense.And it is not the same now, even if it is revealed that Lorraine Hill is Lacey, it will not affect the overall situation, but can take the opportunity to merge New Virga into Crancia.

She nodded slightly to Zhu Ya, responding to his silent greeting. At this time, Benesse beside her also turned her head to ask in a low voice.

"Does Lorraine know Zhu Ya?"

"Yes, I met once before." Lorraine Hill looked at the woman with red hair, feeling the wonder of life.

"After that, I will send Zhu Ya to Solander as the bishop, so it will be convenient for me to communicate with you."

"Then trouble Binez."

After the meeting, the church gradually became busy, and various personnel began to be transferred according to the new rules and regulations, but Lorraine Hill was idle instead.

As for the students of Emenas, they only knew that Rosier had recently participated in a certain confidential mission and would not show up again.But in fact, she has been staying in the secret scripture room in the holy mountain recently, flipping through those ancient books.

On the hard blue-gray stone wall, special orange-yellow gemstones are inlaid, exuding a warm yellow light, illuminating the library deep underground.Rows of stone bookshelves are neatly arranged, among which are various books that are yellowed and old.

These stone bookshelves are no more than one meter apart, parallel to each other, extending continuously to the interior, and their ends are blurred and deep in the dim light.

After obtaining the permission to view, Lorraine Hill spent almost all of this time here, quickly browsing and searching for information about Chaos and the Twilight Age.

However, there are no outstanding gains.

As expected, Keus was right. The information from the Tribunal Division may be more detailed and true.The things she browsed these days basically did not escape the scope of what she saw in the Judgment Division.

The things that the former scepter priest of the Copper Candle Palace collected and sorted out are indeed rare essences.

Knowing that it would be futile to continue searching like this, Lorraine Hill also resolutely gave up.

------

Inside the Pope's Hall.

Glazed flame lamps lit up to illuminate the interior space, and the various drawings on the walls also became clear in the firelight. Together with numerous sculptures, they decorated the interior, presenting a resplendent and resplendent world.

Under the guidance of a nun, Lorraine Hill came to Benesse's new office, looking at everything around him curiously along the way.Today she was going to ask Binnes to borrow the storage device unearthed from the ruins.

"You're here, Lorraine." Binnes was sitting at the desk at the moment, signing and reviewing various documents.

"Well, did I bother you?"

"No, it's almost over."

Binnes replied, while Lorraine Hill sat on the sofa beside her, waiting for Binnes's work to end.

When she looked at the figure working under the light, her eyes became heavy unconsciously. Slowly, the silver-haired girl leaned back on the chair and fell into a peaceful nap.She's still a little sleepy lately.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Wake up, little Lorraine, it's time for dinner."

At some point, Benesse had already walked in front of her, and she whispered in Lorraine Hill's ear, waking up the sleeping girl.
