Poseidon is trying to find his way into the city of Douala. The Mage Tower was the ultimate defense of the Great City, and although he was not afraid of this dead thing that was not controlled by the Space Mage, he was unwilling to attract too much attention before finding Liu Ci.

On the other side, Connie Sr. disappeared from his room, and when he reappeared, he was at the entrance to the Holy See Black Prison in the Holy Land.

"You're here."

A face without sorrow or joy, trying to squeeze out a pleasant smile when facing old Connie, but it is extremely funny because of the stiff laughing muscles.

Old Connie patted him on the shoulder, and the other party was even more excited. He was a man of absolute trust in His Majesty the Pope, otherwise he would not have been arranged to guard the Black Prison, but it seems that he would prefer to be Mr. Connie Sr.

Edward, who was blind, would have been surprised to see this, and he told the caretaker that Chrissy was deaf and mute, but in fact his hearing and voice were intact. This is not that Edward is blind, in fact, even His Majesty the Pope is qualified to access the Black Prison of the Holy Land Harbour in the opinion of all the high-ranking clergy.

The caretaker untied the key that never left him, and opened the Black Prison of Port Sanctuary for Connie Sr.

It is pitch black here, and there is a magic array that can swallow up the light, although there is a railing between the cells, there is also a sound-absorbing magic array inside the railing, unless the Pope is accommodating, the prisoners not only can't see the scene of the black prison clearly, but even the voice of the prisoner next door doesn't want to hear it.

These methods of making prisoners fearful were no strangers to old Connie, who slowly walked into the depths of the black prison with a special candlestick in hand. The sound of footsteps sounded, and the prisoners thought that they would be given food twice today, and their hands and feet were weak, and they were inevitably secretly excited in their hearts...... Among the prisoners, there are many big people who once alarmed the party, but after being in the black prison, they were banned from their whole body abilities, only a piece of shoddy black bread and a crockpot of water every day, barely starving to death, but their feet were soft all day long, and the dignity of the strong could not last long under the perennial hunger.

Unfortunately, the footsteps of old Connie gradually passed through their cells, and it was not the guards who had come to distribute the food—the gods were above, so there was only the second case, when the Holy See was going to interrogate or dispose of a prisoner, and the prisoners were not only gloating that it was not themselves, but also faintly feeling sad that the rabbit had died.

Connie Sr. walked deeper into the Black Prison and stopped in front of Edward's cell. His arrival alarmed not only Edward, but also his neighbor Chrissy.

Chrissy's eyes were not blind, her ears were more sensitive than ordinary people, and when she heard the footsteps that were wrong, she forced herself to look up: Hey, how could it be him?! She was both surprised and had a premonition that it had come true.

Old Connie glanced at her, "Green Elf, if you are willing to keep quiet and not disturb me talking to Mr. Edward, I will have a favor for you in a while." ”

The hard life in the black prison not only made Chrissy Town dispel her arrogance, but also taught her to compromise. Old Connie is not easy to mess with, and she is also a little moved by the benefits that the other party said...... It would be nice to give her a few more pieces of bread, she's almost the first green elf to starve to death.

The corners of Edward's mouth lifted slightly, "Let me guess, right, your old Mr. Connie in Douala City?" ”

If he didn't know that Edward was not only blind, but more likely to continue to be blind for the rest of his life, Old Connie would have doubted whether the other party could see him, but it was precisely because of this that his perception of Edward went to a higher level.

Among other things, Edward's memory is amazing, and Connie Sr. and he have only met once a few years ago, when the Priest of Light led him to his shop before Edward left the Holy Land for his post in Selmont.

In a short period of time, he can still hear his own voice, and this memory is by no means very comparable.

But the more this happened, the more satisfied Connie Sr. became.

"Do you want to be the next pope?"

As soon as he was satisfied, he explained his intentions. Edward was stunned when he heard this, but Chrissy couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaim.

"Ahh

Old Connie glanced at her with a warning look, and Chrissy quickly lowered her head, but the elves' ears were pointed, unwilling to miss a word that followed.

Edward seemed to be carefully considering Connie Sr.'s unobtrusive proposal, and waited a long time before he looked up and asked, "Why me?" ”

Old Connie looked satisfied with his appreciation. Neither did he think he was mad or mock him for being inadequate, Edward simply asked why he was ...... In Edward's opinion, there are twelve priests of light in the Holy Land Harbor, there are six bishops in the Bright Continent, and there are countless upright seminarians in the Holy Land Harbor Monastery, and each of them is more worthy of cultivation than his current self.

So why Edward? Connie Sr. smiled kindly, "Edward Wren, I know your secret. Others join the Holy See, perhaps for the sake of ethereal theology, or for the sake of supreme power, but you have no desires, neither to learn the magic of light, nor to be an undercover agent of the Dark Council...... Whether it's natural magic or dark magic, you're climbing higher and higher in the Holy See just to get the legendary reincarnation, right? You want to find a person's soul and resurrect him with reincarnation......"

Edward, who looked cold, became excited for the first time, "Don't say it again!" ”

Old Connie ignored him and said to himself: "This idea really doesn't fit your smart mind and cold-blooded character, but I like it very much, because if you become a pope, you will only specialize in reincarnation, and you will not be interested in the power of the Holy See." Wouldn't it be nice for each to take what he needs? ”

Poor Chrissy was stunned. Although she is well-read and even knows the secret that the Pope can borrow life from God, she is willing to swear by a natural druid, and she has never even heard of any "reincarnation technique"! Chrissy suddenly felt a sense of "uncertainty", and she was even more reluctant to leave out a word, even the pain, cold, and hunger that had plagued her these days were put aside for the time being.

Edward was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I thought it was just a legend. ”

Yes, decades ago, he had been given notes left behind by a necromancer. Not only did the note contain some extremely rare forms of dark magic, but it also said that the Holy See had a forbidden technique called "Reincarnation", which could resurrect the deceased as long as their soul was intact for any number of years.

Edward verified the dark magic on the notes, and they were indeed true. However, he had been a member of the Holy See for decades, and had even become a bishop, but he had never heard of it again. Sometimes even Edward, who was a hundred times more resolute than ordinary people, couldn't help but suspect that this was just the necromancer's imagination.

But now, there are people who say a word about their thoughts, Edward is not really disgusted by this, he is just curious, it seems that old Connie knows something.

"Of course it's not a legend, someone has done it before, that's why you learned the name of the spell. Okay, let's not talk about reincarnation, let's get down to business, you haven't answered my question yet, would you like to be the next pope of the Holy See, Edward Wren. ”

This time, Edward didn't think about it for too long, he only asked, "How?" ”

Chrissy is also curious, Edward is now in the black prison of the Holy See, and he is an ironclad "bishop involved in the black", but old Connie wants him to be the next pope. Not to mention whether His Majesty the current Pope will agree with Lao Kang's whimsy, with Edward's situation at this time, the Holy See has been in control of the mainland for thousands of years, and she has never heard of a pope who is blind!

Old Connie smiled, he was so satisfied with Edward's character, not greedy for power, and not dragging his feet.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll contact you again. You just need to know that I have taught five popes, and they have been very successful in their positions, and you will definitely become a qualified pope. ”

Old Connie accentuated the word "qualified", and Edward, whose EQ and IQ were higher than others, immediately stated: "I only need reincarnation." ”

Old Connie smiled and said, "I'll give you reincarnation." ”

The conversation between the two came to an end immediately, and Chrissy couldn't help but interject and ask, "If the people of the Holy See have the art of reincarnation, then why didn't the successive popes use it, but instead took the risk of borrowing life from God?" ”

Old Connie rebuked: "Mouthy elf, I only said that there is indeed reincarnation in this world, and that someone has successfully used it, when did you say that the successful person is a member of the Holy See?" Chrissy didn't have time to think about it, and Old Connie changed his tone again, "Do you still want benefits?" ”

Chrissy immediately shut up. Old Connie didn't break his promise, he snapped his finger twice, and the chain that locked the elven wings of Chrissy Town and made her worse than death fell off on its own.

She fell to the ground and made close contact with the surface of the cell. But she did not hate the damp and cold ground in the slightest, for the greatest restraint that had kept her in the black prison was untied.

"Until you find a way out, you'd better pretend to be chained to your wings, His Majesty the Pope has a mirror that can see any corner of the Holy Harbor. It would be unfortunate for him to think of you at a thought! ”

After Connie Sr. finished speaking, he did not continue to talk to Edward, and slowly shook out of the black prison with the candlestick in his hand.

Seeing that the guards had closed the cell door again, Old Connie was rarely moved with compassion: "You wait a little longer, in two years, the celestial phenomena in this holy land port may change." ”

The Keeper's facial muscles stiffened, and only his eyes were moved: "No, you don't have to worry about me, Mr. Connie, to know you must be the God of Light who is very kind to villains." ”

Connie Sr. said no more, he thought that the current pope would be his last student, and he had let go of his power for so long that most of his men who had been with him had become marginal figures.

It wasn't until Old Connie had been away in the black prison for a long time that Chrissy, who had recovered after untying the chains, immediately sobered up: "He said that he taught five popes? Braggart that old guy, although he is very strong, but who doesn't know that the life span of human beings is very short, the popes are all great sages with a life span of four hundred years, counting the longevity borrowed from God, each pope can probably be in power for nearly two hundred years. Even if he only taught before the new pope took office, the five terms added up to a thousand years, how could human beings have such a long lifespan?! Unless it's not human......"

"No, unless he knows...... Reincarnation. Edward added faintly, his unfocused eyes burning at the thought of this.
