"This is a dark space, a human body blessing formation!" Lucy explained: "It has one of the uses of the dark world, which is to isolate the rebirth mark on your body and the induction of the rebirth teacher."

The secret technique of the Dark Holy See is really strange, and it can actually have such an effect. Ye Ling couldn't help but marveled, but at the same time he said a little depressedly: "Since you have this method that can isolate the rebirth mark, why don't you want to help?

Forget it, why did you try to trick me into returning to the Holy See?"

"Idiot, I didn't lie to you," Lucy cursed angrily: "Yes, the dark space can protect you from the pursuit of the Rebirth Cult, but its effect is temporary, and at most it can

It only lasts a few hours. If you leave me and can't replenish the second one in time, you will still be dead!"

"Oh, that's it!" Ye Ling touched his nose and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you."

Lucy rolled her eyes at him again: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, come with me!"

After saying that, her figure disappeared again. It seemed that this was not her destination, so Ye Ling had no choice but to continue to follow her. They flew at full speed for at least 20 minutes. They were far away from the Holy See headquarters and arrived at a lake.

Turning aside, Lucy stopped and reappeared.

This lake is very beautiful. The water is clear and clear. There are a large number of white giant lotus floating on the water. This is a plant that can float on the water and survive without taking root in the soil. It moves with the breeze like a natural boat.

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

Ye Ling thought for a moment and jumped up. The space inside the giant lotus was very spacious, enough to accommodate several people, but it didn't seem embarrassing.

This natural boat is very interesting because it is made of flower petals and exudes a light, refreshing fragrance.

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

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

Lucy felt a little secretly excited, and the white giant lotus floated towards the center of the lake. There were many giant lotuses on the water, and each one was very big. After passing through them, no one could find two in the vast sea of ​​flowers.

Human existence seems to come to an unknown and small world.

The rhythm in the gray restricted area is busy and tense, because there are so many fatal challenges here that Ye Ling is always tense. However, in this flower lake, his mood suddenly relaxed and he leaned on

Sitting on a flower petal opposite Lucy, leisurely crossing his legs, Ye Ling praised: "This place is really nice, how did you discover it?"

Lucy smiled and said: "Actually, this lake already existed here before the city of Turin was established. I liked it quite much, so I asked the people in the city 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 recited it twice in a low voice, and then said: "The lake is as its name suggests. It purifies the soul and keeps away from disputes. It is very good! However, Miss Lucy, it seems that now is not the time for you to put down your worldly affairs.

Well, I heard that the election of a new pope in your Holy See will be held in a week. This is a grand event and you are indispensable!"

"I hope I don't care about anything, at least now!" Lucy was lying half on the white petals. At this time, she finally no longer looked like the omnipotent dark goddess, but a weak one.

Woman, this gave Ye Ling a vague premonition that there might be an unknown contradiction hidden in the Dark Holy See's selection of a new pope, and it was this that made Lucy lose her normalcy.

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

How to choose?"

"Pope?" Ye Ling was confused: "Your new pope hasn't been 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 succeed.

Did you fulfill his wish? Don’t worry, even if the archbishop becomes the pope, he won’t be able to act recklessly. Isn’t the pope also under the supervision of you and the bishops? If he messes up, other high-level officials will naturally come forward to depose him.

Drop him."

"I'm not talking about Archbishop Vieri, but the previous pope, who was also the one who revived our dark church." When mentioning the sixteenth pope, Lucy's eyes were full of reverence: "He is a great and incredible leader.

The eight bishops of the Holy See, as well as many senior officials, were personally trained by him. The rapid development of the Holy See to its current size is largely due to the guidance of his grand plans."

"Oh, the previous Pope?" Ye Ling became a little interested: "According to what you said, he is indeed great and the most suitable to lead the Dark Holy See. But why did this Pope leave office?"

Lucy sighed and said: "He left on his own initiative. 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 Holy See."

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

"I can only tell you that the current selection of the new pope conflicts with the wishes of the previous pope, and it was created by people he personally trained. However, it may be beneficial to the future of the Holy See," Lucy had already revealed.

She still had to keep a lot of secrets of the Dark Holy See, some key things, but expressed the meaning tactfully: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Ye Ling pondered for a moment: "If the former Pope is really as wise as you said, his wishes should be reasonable. However, you also said that it has been many years since the former Pope left, and the world's

The situation is changing every day, and perhaps his wishes are no longer suitable for the current era. No matter what

Well, the Pope is just an individual. He only leads the Holy See and serves the Holy See. The Holy See is a collective. In my opinion, no matter what, the individual must submit to the collective. Objectively speaking, the emergence of the new Pope

, which is good for your Holy See. After all, a country cannot live without a king, and the church cannot live without a pope!"

"Even you think so," Lucy asked worriedly, "Am I wrong?"

"I don't know whether you are right or wrong. This is an internal matter of your religion," Ye Ling laughed, and then said: "As for from a personal point of view, I don't want the 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, and he's not even a competent grandfather. I don't think he can really manage the Holy See. Lucy, if you run for the Pope, I will support you with both hands. It's a pity.

Just don’t have the right to vote!”

Lucy laughed and said noncommittally: "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 freedom and adventure.

The Pope has no interest at all. If he really takes this position, hey, he handles so many official duties every day and can't just go anywhere, then he might as well kill me with a knife!"

Lucy laughed dumbly and said: "Is it true that sitting in the Pope's seat is almost the same as sitting in prison? You have to know how many people want to become the master of our Dark Holy See, and from then on stand at the pinnacle of this world, making all the changes."

"For me, it's almost the same as being in prison. No matter how great the power is, it can't compare to freedom." Ye Ling chanted casually on a whim: "Life is precious, but love is more valuable. If it's for freedom,

Both can be thrown away!”

Lucy asked, her memory is quite good, and she immediately chanted: "Haha, 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 Church since she was a child. She has lost her freedom and has never known the taste of freedom. For her, the affairs of the Dark Church are everything to her. Lucy must leave other things behind.

She would never do anything to gain freedom.

Ye Ling smiled and said: "You won't understand. Think about it. Many captured birds are kept in gorgeous cages and no longer have to work hard to find food. However, they would rather keep banging against the cage.

, until they die, because no matter how superior the conditions are, they are not as good as the boundless blue sky where they can fly."

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

As the two chatted, the topic gradually branched from the Holy See to other things, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. Lucy's frowning eyebrows unknowingly relaxed, and time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye,

The moon has already reached the mid-heaven, and started to set from the mid-heaven again, but it is already the middle of the night.

"Oh, it's already so late!" Lucy, who noticed it, quickly stood up: "The duration of the effect 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 suggestions, and the conversation afterwards was about 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 man who would be chopped up by gangsters with kitchen knives wherever I go."

"Little gangsters?" Lucy laughed again: "Well, if the Rebirth Cult can only be regarded as little gangsters, then most of the gangs in the gray restricted area are paper tigers. Your tone is really not small, completely

Have you forgotten how you were chopped into pieces with a kitchen knife that day?"

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

"Go, whoever is your personal bodyguard, go to hell!"

"..."

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

During the day, the Holy See headquarters is always shrouded in a hazy veil under the shroud of darkness, and it becomes even more mysterious late at night.

However, a ghostly figure is still moving in a certain antique house. He puts his hands behind his back and paces back and forth. The black robe is different from ordinary priests and priests. Its style is unique to the Holy See.

Yes, surprisingly it was Archbishop Vieri in black.

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

The man hadn't come back yet, and Vieri kept walking with a stern expression on his face. At this moment, he was thinking about something in his heart.

I didn't expect that Lucy would do something like this.

Female candidates, damn female candidates!

If Lucy had not proposed to abolish the regulations prohibiting women from running for the Pope, he would have no opponents in the Dark Holy See, and becoming the Pope would be just around the corner!

But now, the outcome is uncertain.

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

However, the Dark Goddess is also the image representative of the Holy See. The Holy See deliberately created this perfect woman, which made Lucy's status in the minds of all believers noble and transcendent, which was enough to bring a huge threat to Vieri.

I have to worry and admit that my dreams may come true.

Generally speaking, Vieri believes that his chances of winning are still higher, probably ** compared to Lucy.

A slight advantage is not enough. Vieri cannot tolerate his chances of winning being less than 99%. What he needs is "inevitability" rather than "probability". He has been waiting for this day and has been planning for many years. Absolutely

No room for error!

There are still a few days before the general election. If she can find a good opportunity to make her status in the eyes of the church plummet, then her ascendancy will be certain.

However, this is not an easy task. It takes a good chance to make Lucy lose their trust.

The person who was sent to follow him has been gone for so long, so he should be back soon.

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