System! I Will Not Be a Saint!

"It's nothing, it's gone."

Vera smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, unblocking the formation.

Because if the blockade is too long, the protectors of these three saintesses cannot be sensed, and they may be in a hurry.

"Have afternoon tea together later?" Vera asked after looking back at Syl after manipulating the formation to open the iron door.

"Okay." Jane showed a hearty smile, and quickly agreed to Vera's invitation.

But Syl shook her head, and she said apologetically:

"I have to go and see a protector who was injured because of me later, and I may have to leave first."

"Oh...it's okay, it's important. You can drink afternoon tea at any time," Vera nodded, pointing outside and said, "Then I'll take you out."

"That's right, you can't let those who protect you feel chilled," Jane nodded, understanding Syl's approach, and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back to practice swords."

It seems that if Searle is not around, Jane also loses her mind to drink afternoon tea.

In this way, the three of them walked towards the exit of the basement.

"Archbishop Ashara, the other archbishops are waiting for you..."

In the corridor on the top floor of the church, Ashara, who was looking at the sunlight outside the window and in a certain direction, was stopped by a nun behind her.

"Conference room?" Ashara turned her head, looked at the nun, and asked plainly.

"Yes, they are all in the conference room." The nun seemed a little nervous, and the archbishop who had never seen before seemed to exude an indescribable majesty.

"Okay, you first, go down." Ashara nodded, as if noticing that her distraction made the nun in front of her feel pressured, the corners of her mouth curled up, showing a faint smile.

But this smile didn't seem to relieve the tension in the nun's heart. After hearing the words that she could leave, she nodded quickly and walked away quickly.

"Ugh......"

After the nun left, Ashara sighed slightly.

She raised her hand, and with a thought, a few golden translucent tentacles of holy light emerged from her fingertips.

But the roots of two of them have begun to turn black.

If she summons more tentacles, she will see that there will be more blackened tentacles.

She has lived for too long, and the spiritual pollution she helped Syr resist last time has begun to corrode her spiritual body.

Either the physical body was exhausted and died, or the spiritual body was corroded and died, or the spirit collapsed and died... It was very difficult for Ashara to escape this disaster.

Except for promotion.

But the road to promotion, there are too many crazy people on this road, Ashara doesn't expect to continue walking.

If she didn't have much time, she could only think about clearing the way for Syl and finding a reliable guardian for Border Town.

time is limited.

Ashara clenched her right hand tightly, the tentacles on her hand dissipated.

She reached out to put the hood on, then put her hands back inside her robes, and started walking towards the meeting room downstairs.

When Ashara walked to the door of the meeting room, the nun was already waiting at the door.

When she saw Archbishop Ashara approaching, the nun stretched out her hand to help her open the door.

After saying "thank you" in a low voice, Ashara bowed her head and continued to walk inside. There was a lot of voices inside, as if they were all discussing something.

After Ashara entered, the gate automatically and slowly closed, and the breath-blocking formation was triggered accordingly.

The conference hall is grand and grand, and it was built on two floors. Six huge load-bearing columns carved with fine patterns bear the weight of the entire conference hall.

As for the decoration, apart from some necessary decorations for the Church of Hope, there is only one long table.

The entire conference hall was filled with archbishops from all over the world, about 50 to [-] people.

Seeing Ashara come in at this time, they all fell silent for a while, without the eager discussion just now.

But Ashara didn't say anything, just looked up at the vacant seat next to the topmost seat, and chose to sit at the end.

After taking her seat, Ashara kept her head down, hiding her expression in the shadow of the hood, while the others gradually resumed the discussion just now when they saw that Ashara didn't make a statement.

They were young or old, but when they became archbishops, they all heard of such a legendary archbishop who lived for 300 years in the church.

But apart from knowing that the archbishop is super powerful, he will only help the church when it is in crisis, and he doesn't show up at other times, so I don't know other news.

It can be said that this mysterious archbishop is a transparent person in this meeting, just like before.

"Ahem..." At this time, an old man standing at the front of the long table cleared his throat and said, "That's it, let me preside over this meeting."

"Actually, I have a suggestion. Since the goddess can't choose a new pope for us now, and the old pope can't name it, why not vote directly..."

Yes, what the church has been busy with these days has always been the search for a candidate for the new pope.

The previous pope stepped down, and the church must have a new pope to take charge of the overall situation.

And the archbishops sitting there are obviously qualified to sit in this position.

In the past, before the previous pope abdicated, he would directly identify the next pope, and then directly hold the sacred handover and coronation ceremony.

But now that there is no identification from the previous Pope, the scene has become chaotic.

Just the archbishops sitting here hugged into several groups.

The aristocracy and the fanatics fought each other, while the conservatives and neutrals waited and watched.

Because this is an opportunity that was completely impossible for the noble faction before.

Winning the position of Pope means not only relying on resources, he can pile himself up to the fifth level, and even touch the sixth level.

Most importantly, it can further promote the integration of the church and the nobility, and gradually turn the Goddess of Hope Church into the back garden of the nobility.

The fanatics insisted on completely changing the dogma back, because the church had already made too many concessions to the nobles in Sharon's previous reforms.

They want to fully regain the rights originally held by the Goddess of Hope.

The conservatives, on the other hand, hoped to maintain the existing relationship between the aristocracy and the church, and were unwilling to let aristocrats and fanatics be popes.

As for the neutral faction represented by Ashara, it's just a matter of seeing which side is more reasonable.

Although they belonged to one church, they were divided into so many interest groups, which made Ashara, who hadn't been in contact with the power field for a long time, feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, the aristocratic faction and the fanatic faction heard the proposal of the archbishop presiding over the meeting, and they all expressed their agreement.

After all, their numbers are equal, and their task is to persuade the neutrals to fall to their side.

"Then..." Archbishop Locke, who was in charge of the presiding, looked at the people present after seeing that they all agreed, and said slowly, "Those who intend to run for the pope, go to the altar to tell your contributions, And what it can bring to the church."

"Let the goddess and us hear your opinion... Opponents can raise their hands, and the old man will count the negative votes."

Soon after Archbishop Locke finished speaking, an archbishop from the aristocratic faction with a noble family relationship stood up, passed through the long conference table, and walked onto the altar.

"I'm Blaise Dasaya. I have served in the Cod City Cathedral for 47 years, and I have purified nearly a hundred monsters that disturb the people..."

"...believing that the closer union of church and state is the quickest way to increase the power of the church...the above is my statement."

After a speech that lasted more than half an hour, Blaise, with short chestnut hair and a monocle, looked down at the archbishops sitting below.

And the host Locke on the side also asked in a timely manner: "Anyone who opposes please raise your hand."

Except for the aristocrats, most people raised their hands, especially the conservatives, who opposed it more fiercely than the fanatics.

It is because of the surname Dasaya.

If the Pope's surname is Dasaya, I hope that the Goddess Cult will be bound to the royal family forever, instead of the current situation of peaceful mutual assistance. This is what conservatives don't want to see.

Ashara listened to the speech of the person above, she also shook her head lightly.

Too young...not convincing, and his identity is very sensitive, he is not suitable to be the pope, and he doesn't know his attitude towards the saint.

Ashara quietly waited for the next archbishop to go up.

The next one was the fanatic archbishop. As soon as he went up, he suggested to completely sever ties with the nobles and pick up the original teachings of the church - to bring hope to the world.

Her resume was almost perfect, and the fanatics were all very loyal to the saintess. Ashara originally planned to find a suitable one among the fanatics.

But the result was not as Ashara wished.

Before the voting began, the previous Blaze retorted:

"I admit that your qualifications are old enough, and you have been the archbishop for 87 years, but what about your records of purifying Warcraft? What about the results of negotiations with other churches?"

"The pope does not just want to accomplish the goal of bringing hope to people, but for this goal, he has to do other things."

"You are a person who only stays in the church for a long time without any low-level experience. You have powerful magic power to purify monsters and only a handful of times. How can you be the new Pope?"

"Are you trying to bring despair to the Church of Goddess of Hope?"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the people present were in an uproar.

In the Church of Goddess of Hope, this is almost the most vicious words.

But indeed, those who were hesitant before raised their hands decisively and voted against it.

It seems that this Blaise is planning to use the first-mover advantage, as well as to challenge the people behind, to achieve his goal, and it seems that he has succeeded in doing so.

The white-haired archbishop who gave the speech just now turned pale when she was told, she gritted her teeth and said:

"You will betray the teachings of hope, Blaise, and if that day comes, I will purify you for the goddess."

After speaking, the archbishop sat down with a straight face, looking unhappy.

Her shortcomings are indeed obvious. As one of the older archbishops, it's fine that she hasn't purified monsters much, and she has been nested in the church for many years, just praying and chanting every day.

It is very suitable to be an archbishop full of faith, kindness and knowledge, not a Pope who dominates the overall situation.

Ashara sighed slightly.

She almost watched the child grow up, and she knew very well that although the child would take good care of the saint, she was really not suitable to be the pope.

At this time, on the conservative side, a trembling old man stood up.

He stood up, coughed a little, snapped his fingers, and appeared on the holy platform in the next second.

"Let me say a few words..."
