Two columns of men in black carried Paul's body slowly from the church, followed by a group of cardinals.

Lin Daguan is also one of them, because he is a bishop-level cardinal, and his position is relatively high. Bai Lizi, covered with a red robe, wearing a red melon hat, the ponytail has been spread out and draped, and the two sides are behind the ears, the expression is silent and solemn, and it is really presentable.

In the specially divided area on both sides of the church entrance, a group of people in black suits are standing, who are heads of state and envoys. Not to mention the President of Italy, the President of the United States was among them, as well as dignitaries and envoys from other countries, who were the first to see Paul's body carried out because of their location.

After saluting to show respect, the eyes of a group of dignitaries fell on Lin Zixian's body one after another, all of them had strange eyes, and they all obeyed Lin Daguan, and it was strange that they could do this as a hooligan.

As Paul's body moved forward, the people in the square rushed closer, crowding the guardrails on both sides of the passage, and the sound of crying quickly spread in the square. Some wept and prayed with their fingers clasped, and others reached out to Paul with tears streaming down their faces, as if trying to save the deceased pope.

A great sense of grief hung over the whole square, and in accordance with Paul's last wishes, there was no private ceremony, and Paul's body was carried to the altar in St. Peter's Square and buried in the coffin in public.

A group of cardinals stood on either side of the altar, and Chief Bishop Henry stood in front of Paul's body and made a slow gesture.

At the moment when Paul's body was placed in the coffin, the cries of the believers were so loud that many fell to their knees.

Thomas, dressed in a black priest's uniform, looked solemn, knelt on one knee in front of Paul's body lying in the coffin, and shook out a white silk scarf fluttering in the wind, solemnly and holyly covering Paul's face.

A tray was brought with a scroll of papers on Paul's life. and some commemorative silver coins found in the Vatican. Thomas took the tray, placed the paperwork in the coffin, and spilled the silver coins into it.

After Thomas got up and stood aside, the moment the coffin lid carefully covered the coffin, it was over, as if the sky had fallen, as if the believers were going to say goodbye to their beloved ones, I don't know how many people cried to death, it was simply crying for the sun and the moon.

Lin Zixian's scalp was numb by this cry. I was in a panic, I had never seen so many people crying together, and the scale of the funeral was really grand. It made his nose a little sour, and looked at the bishops on the left and right, but the old gods were there. I don't see any sadness.

Chief Bishop Henry placed a copy of the Red Gospel on the coffin, making a very divine gesture and reciting words in his mouth.

The ceremony lasted for three hours, and the coffin was lifted again, and the elderly cardinals breathed a sigh of relief, and they really couldn't bear it for a few more hours, I'm afraid Paul hadn't buried it yet. They're going to follow in their footsteps.

Amid heart-rending cries and solemn hymns, the procession of coffins slowly walked towards St. Peter's Basilica, where the papal cemetery in the basement of the basilica was the final destination of Paul's life......

After Paul's burial, dignitaries and envoys shook hands with the bishops standing in the front row in turn in the main hall on behalf of the governments and said goodbye to the condolences.

Lin Zixian was also in the front row of bishops. Who called him a high rank. When the president of the United States, who was the first to walk, shook hands and approached him, two bodyguards quickly approached, wary of Lin Zixian, attracting everyone's sideways glances.

The president of the United States is like a nobody. I shook hands with him, but didn't say any words of condolence. The attitude of shaking hands with others and greeting them was obviously different, and as soon as he put his hand together, he let go, as if there was some germ in his hand, and continued to hold it with others all the way.

The attitude of the others was the same as that of the President of the United States, and they shook hands with Lin Zixian on the scene, and they had nothing to say. Lin Zi didn't care, he didn't feel lost or embarrassed, if it wasn't for the formalities, he wouldn't have bothered to do it.

After sending off a group of distinguished guests, Henry made another speech to the group of cardinals, to the effect that they would meet again in the afternoon for the first sermon, and then announce their disbandment.

At the end of the scene, Lin Zixian was sharp-eyed, swept around, and saw a guy who deliberately avoided him and chased after him quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the church, Lin Zixian stretched out his hand and patted a cardinal on the shoulder, the body stiffened, turned his head and nodded, and said embarrassedly: "Lord Bishop." ”

It was none other than Lin Zixian's direct subordinate, Bishop Agassi, who was in charge of the teaching affairs of Greater China. However, looking at his cautious eyes left and right, it seems that he doesn't want to have more contact with Lin Zixian, but he was caught by others, and he can't hide if he wants to.

"Agassi, are you deliberately avoiding me?" Lin Zixian asked knowingly.

"No, no." Agassi shook his head again and again in denial, but there was a wail in his heart, he really didn't want to have anything to do with this 'terrorist' now, didn't he look at the other cardinals who passed by and looked at him strangely? What is the future......

"It's good if you don't have it, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go, come to my room and sit down." Lin Zixian pushed him on the back, and regardless of his many reasons and excuses, he forcibly took him away.

The funeral was over, but there were still a large number of devout believers in St. Peter's Square, who continued to lay on the floor and wait for the results of tomorrow's papal election......

In the afternoon, the cardinals of the Holy See gathered again in the church, because it was necessary to give two sermons for fear that the election would not be clear before the new papal elections. Once now, once after entering the place of election.

Chief Bishop Henry took the podium and personally preached that there are now 118 cardinals in the Holy See who are eligible to be elected and to be elected......

In fact, it is to tell everyone about the current situation of the Holy See, and what kind of pope you need. Of course, you might as well pick up some private goods by the way.

Being able to preach on the stage is a cheap thing, and the self-leaning nature in Henry's words is more obvious, if you listen carefully, you will find from his words that he is the person who is more suitable to be the pope, and obviously hopes that everyone can choose him.

However, everyone is not stupid, you will choose you when you say you will choose? It depends on the preacher's eloquence to see if he can impress everyone.

In fact, anyone who is a member of the Holy See, even an ordinary believer, is eligible to be elected as pope, but this is not possible. If it did, the collegial panel would have promoted him all the way to bishop and then pope.

Agassi, who was a little depressed, sat with Lin Ziidle, and was relied on by Lin Ziidle, and couldn't run away. In fact, Lin Zixian didn't want to be annoying, but some things he didn't understand needed to pull an acquaintance to solve his doubts, so Agassi was a little helpless and whispered to him, making a good relationship between the two.

After the sermon, the cardinal's residence seemed a little lively, and many people got busy and began to visit the door and build relationships. Although everyone said it implicitly when they met, to put it bluntly, it was to canvass for themselves.

Even Lin Zixian, a 'terrorist', had many people come to see him, because he also has a ballot in his hand, and it is not uncommon for a vote to decide the ownership of the pope at a critical moment. As for what will happen to the Caesar Bishop after the election is completed, it is not everyone's concern.

Therefore, it was the first time that Lin Daguan found himself so valued in the Holy See, and every now and then someone knocked on the door, and when he came in, he was so troubled that Lin Zixian couldn't talk to Agassi if he wanted to.

The most promising to become a pope are the six bishops of the collegial court, after all, most of the cardinals are usually scattered all over the world, and they do not interact with each other often, but everyone inevitably deals with these six, relatively speaking, the six are the most well-connected, and naturally the most likely to become the pope.

Therefore, these six people are the most active of all the cardinals, obviously with the mentality of grinding the gun in the battle, and playing the emotional card under the pretext of caring about everyone's life, hoping to win one vote and count one.

"Don't worry! I'm going to pick you! ”

Lin Zixian patted his chest politely and sent a cardinal out of the room, and finally gave a big guarantee.

Lin Daguan's expression of piercing the window paper made the cardinal a little embarrassed, and he secretly said that Bishop Caesar's words were too direct. However, he still won the cardinal's favor, because Lin Zixian's words made people feel down-to-earth when they listened, not as vague as others.

At this moment, he saw Bishop Henry, who had come to care about everyone's life, coming from the corridor, the two looked at each other, and Lin Zixian snorted unceremoniously.

Henry didn't have a good impression of him, anyway, he knew that this guy wouldn't vote for him, so he didn't bother to waste his expression to condole, and turned his head away and followed the cardinal's greeting sent by Lin Zixian.

Lin Zixian slammed the door, walked back to the sofa opposite Agassi and sat down with a sarcastic expression, and sneered: "It seems that there are many people who want to be the pope!" The one just now was pulled away by Bishop Henry as soon as he went out. ”

Agassi is speechless, you don't even remember people's names, and you are embarrassed to promise people that you will definitely choose them? It's too cheating, isn't it?

Agassi really convinced this guy, ten people came in a row, this guy patted his chest to everyone and promised that he would choose someone, this heroic way of guaranteeing that he pierced the window paper, the visitors probably hadn't seen it, and the visitors left embarrassed one by one. Looking at everyone's expressions when they left, it is estimated that many people took his boldness seriously, and I don't know how they would feel if they knew that Caesar didn't even remember their names.

When he was stunned, Lin Zixian suddenly looked at him and said with a smile: "Agassi, who are you going to vote for?" ”

Agassi smiled bitterly, "I'm still thinking about it." ”

Lin Zixian thought to himself, could it be that I had a relationship with you for a long time, so you didn't express it? Suddenly surprised: "Agassi, the vote is in your own hands, anonymous voting, do you still need to consider this?" ”
