As soon as Jaime announced the start of the election, all eyes were on the five cardinals sitting at the long table.

Although there are still many people in the church who are equal to the cardinals, such as other high-ranking churches in the hall, only the cardinals can have the final say on the matter of pope election, which is a rule set by His Majesty the first Pope Sanny three hundred years ago, and it will certainly not change today.

Leo's gaze also swept over the five cardinals, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, you must know that under normal circumstances, the number of cardinals should be twelve, but today there are only five cardinals present, not even half of the original number!

"The Church of Light is really suffering from this infighting," Leo thought to himself, "Even if I become the Pope, it seems that I will have to have a period of recuperation." ”

But Leo immediately put away this thought and turned to the voting situation, after all, this is the real important thing, as long as he defeats Ambrosi as a conspirator in the voting process, Leo does not believe that he can be turned upside down.

Although he was initially shocked by Ambrosi's entropy demon identity, Leo is not the fledgling and ignorant magic apprentice now, he has quickly adjusted his mentality and figured out the key to the matter.

Since you can't use the identity of the Entropy Demon to do anything to Ambrosi, then just defeat him openly!

Not only Leo, but Ambrosi's eyes were also focused on the five cardinals, and Ambrosi had a very confident and steady expression on his face.

The five cardinals, namely Scott, Walker, Edward, Garcia and Leslie, in Leo's impression, except for the bishop named Garcia who once sided with Bishop Nelson and did not take refuge in Leo's side after Bishop Nelson's death, the other four people now belong to Leo's side.

In Leo's opinion, the only unstable factor should be Bishop Leslie, who once defected to Ambrossi, but even if Bishop Leslie played a two-faced trick, Leo would not care, then Leo would still be able to win by a vote of 3 to 2.

Bishop Scott, the eldest of the five cardinals, spoke first: "I support Lord Leo as the next pope. After saying that, he gave Leo a flattering look.

Leo was not surprised by this, and also gave him an encouraging look.

But the surprise still happened, and the second Bishop Walker surprised Leo: "I support Lord Ambrossi to become the next pope." ”

Leo's body shook violently when he heard this, and his eyes showed an incredible light, you must know that this Bishop Walker is one of Leo's most staunch supporters all along, Leo has fully confirmed Bishop Walker's loyalty after many contacts these days, but such a usually loyal Bishop Walker, but at this time he rebelled!

Although his face was still calm, the intense anger had surged into Leo's heart in an instant, and the feeling of being betrayed was so unpleasant that Leo even wanted to cut off the head of this traitor Walker for a moment and kick it into the sea to feed the fish!

Ambrosi, who was sitting across from Leo, looked much better, and looked at Leo with a smile all the time, his face full of mockery, obviously Bishop Walker's betrayal had already been in Ambrosi's plan.

Bishop Walker's choice also caused an uproar in the hall, not to mention Cheeto and Duke Habs, who were on Leo's side, and even the other church leaders quietly exchanged words for a while, after all, these people are all big names in the church, although they can't understand inside information such as the Entropy Demon and the Vengeful Brotherhood, but things like the positions of the cardinals are clear.

After the two cardinals voted, Leo and Entropy Demon voted to one, although it seemed to be a temporary tie, but in fact, Leo knew very well in his heart that he had lost for a while.

Leo's bad luck didn't seem to be over yet, and the third Cardinal, Edward, spoke: "I support Lord Ambrossi as the next Pope." ”

As soon as Bishop Edward's words fell, the entire hall exploded in an instant.

You must know that this Bishop Edward, like Bishop Walker, has always been a die-hard supporter of Leo, but he betrayed Leo one after another at this time!

In this way, the votes of Leo and Dandrion will be 1 to 2, and if Dandrion gets any more votes, then he will be able to win with a majority of three votes!

Leo couldn't stay calm anymore, he never thought that these two cardinals, who had stood on his side from the beginning, would turn against the water together at this time!

In the eyes of these high-level leaders, Ambrosi actually had no hope of winning, and would definitely be easily crushed by Leo, who did not expect that after only three votes, Ambrosi was already only one vote away from victory!

Leo's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and the only two cardinals who had not voted were Bishop Garcia, who had never taken refuge in Leo's side, and Bishop Leslie, who was completely unsure if he was reliable.

As long as either of these two people votes for Ambrosi, then Leo will lose the papal election!

We can't go on like this, something has to be done! Leo made a decision in his heart immediately.

Seeing that Bishop Nagarcia was about to speak, Leo immediately coughed and spoke first: "When I was investigating the scene of Bishop Nelson's death, the word 'An' that had just been engraved appeared under Bishop Nelson's desk. ”

Bishop Garcia's body shook violently when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly showed extremely sharp eyes, staring at Leo deadly: "Lord Leo's words are true?" ”

Leo's face was straight: "In the name of the omnipotent Supreme Light God, there is not a single word of truth in my words. ”

Bishop Garcia took a deep breath and turned his head to look deeply at Ambrosi.

Ambrosi obviously realized that something was wrong, and immediately sneered and said, "Lord Leo, just by virtue of just one Anzi, you want to frame me?" Isn't that too shoddy? ”、

Leo shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just stating the facts. ”

Leo had long known that Bishop Garcia and Bishop Nelson were close friends, so Bishop Garcia was reluctant to join Leo's camp after Bishop Nelson's death, because Bishop Garcia had always suspected that Leo had assassinated Bishop Nelson.

Although Leo also knew Bishop Garcia's suspicions, Leo had no evidence to clear his suspicions, and it wasn't until today that Ambrosi revealed his true colors, Leo finally thought of the word "An" engraved by Bishop Nelson before his death, and launched a fierce counterattack!

Don't think that only you, Ambrosi, can do petty tricks, and I, Leo, am not the kind of person who sits idly by!

Sure enough, after Leo revealed the word "An", Garcia's gaze at Ambrosi immediately became wrong, and after only a moment of hesitation, Bishop Garcia made his own decision: "I support Lord Leo to become the next Pope His Majesty, and I hope that Lord Leo can thoroughly investigate the cause of Bishop Nelson's death after he ascends the throne, and give Bishop Nelson's family an explanation!" ”

Leo's mood suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and he nodded vigorously with a smile on his face: "That's natural, please rest assured Bishop Garcia, I will never let go of any sinner who dares to assassinate a major minister of the church like the cardinal!" ”

Ambrosi's face was obviously gloomy from Bishop Garcia's decision, but he only snorted heavily, and did not say anything.

After this blow, the votes of both sides became two to two.

Only the last and most crucial vote remains.

Bishop Leslie's vote!
