10757 AH, June. At this time, it was exactly four years after Gray appeared in the surface world.

Salted Fish Harbor.

Two angels disappeared and floated in the air.

The corners of Elbald's eyes twitched as a blonde boy who looked a little resembling Shelley was playing in the courtyard of the inner court of Salted Fish Harbor Castle. Shelley was standing by and watching, looking like a good wife and mother.

"It's ...... A child born five months ago? Don't you think he looks at least five years old?"

"Maybe it's growing up a little faster. Catherine replied with a blank face.

"Is it as simple as growing faster?" Abd. was shocked.

"You know, he's not human. So it's normal to be a little abnormal. ”

"But he's not a lich either. So, what exactly is he?"

"I don't know. Catherine shrugged, "I think they probably created some new species." ”

"You've been there for him, don't you even know what's going on?"

"Even if you're around them, you won't know what's going on. He used the power of the Demon Lord, Vivien also participated, and asked several big demons to help, do you understand the high-level black magic? ”

"So is this Gray and Shelley's child anyway?"

"It should be said ......," Catherine thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

At this moment, Abbot suddenly noticed that the child below was holding the ball and staring at him.

He ...... You can't see us, can you?"

Before he finished speaking, little Richie had already run towards Shelley: "Mom, Mom, I saw two birdmen flying in the sky, can I knock them down?"

"Birdman, where?"

Little Richie pointed in the direction of Abbed and Catherine, and the two of them were startled.

"Does he really see us?"

Of course, Shelley craned his neck but didn't see anything: "Where?"

"I'll knock them down for you. ”

So, little Richie raised his hand.

"What does he want to do?" Abbed looked at with half-squinted eyes, and the next moment, the corners of his eyes began to twitch again. Because he saw that Richie's hand condensed a black fireball bigger than his head!

"Damn! What is this?"

With a wave of his hand, Richie slammed the black fireball towards them.

The two angels were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged. The black fireball grazed between them and caught Elbald's wings. The feathers of the wings burned......

"What the hell is this?" Abbed hurriedly plucked out the few feathers that had been ignited in pain, and he was saved. I was scared into a cold sweat.

Looking back, Abbot and Catherine find that Shelley is already harshly criticizing Little Richie.

"Where did you learn this?"

"Yes......" Little Richie said aggrievedly, sucking his fingers, "I saw that Aunt Vivien used it, and then she learned it." ”

"You can't learn that, you know? It's something that only bad kids learn. Richie is a good boy, what if he hurts someone?"

"But those two are birdmen, not people. ”

"Birdmen are human beings, and we must treat all races equally and not discriminate against them. Your dad is a lich after all. ”

"Oh, I see......"

"You won't be allowed to use it again, you know, or I'll punish you for not eating snacks." ”

"Got it, Mom. I'll be a good boy. ”

Taking Richie by the hand, Shelley left the courtyard.

The two angels were already sweating profusely.

"We've just been discriminated against?"

"Sort of. I think this kid is more dangerous than Gray......"

One person may not really be able to change a world, but if it's a race......

......

At this moment, far north, in the territory of Gustav, Gray was riding a horse and walking slowly with his Knights of the Silver Moon.

It was raining, and the ground was muddy.

All those in the procession who were afraid of the rain were stuffed into the carriages, and those who were not afraid of the rain hurried through the rain with impunity.

Little by little, the rain slid down the armor and seeped into the armor.

"It's terrible, why are we in such a hurry? I feel like the whole world is wet. It's horrible. The black cat grumbled in the armor.

"We have to get to Mount Azrant as soon as possible. Gray whispered.

"What's the use of our arrival? The Pope is dead, and even if we do, we can't change that. May him be well in heaven. ”

"I think there's a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

Gray shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a feeling." ”

"Isn't the question clear?" Vivien whispered in Gray's mind, "When the Pope dies, all paladins and cardinals of the Cardinal, and bishops everywhere must attend the memorial service. But that's just the name. The real meaning is to elect a new pope. You have a vote in your hand, but do you know who to vote for? Also, Levi and a few of them have votes in their hands. ”

"Isn't the Pope ordained by the Holy Spirit?" asked the black cat.

"It used to be, but it hasn't been for a long time. I said more than 5,000 years ago. They found that people who did not have support within the Holy See, even if they were given the position of Pope and the support of the Holy Spirit, would be entangled in infighting and could not do anything. The lifespan of human beings is very short, and decades pass quickly. So, they simply let the Holy See choose the Pope itself. ”

"Then why don't they raise up a new pope before the previous pope dies? With the support of the Holy Spirit, it should be easy to increase the support rate, right?"

You're right, but the Holy Spirit's view of humanity may be different than you think. Vivien replied softly, "What they want is not for the Holy See to produce a suitable pope with their strong intervention. Rather, the Holy See itself elects a suitable pope. ”

"Oh, in that case, I think Gray's vote would have to be cast for himself. ”

The rain poured down, splashing crystal droplets on the emerald green leaves.

In the sky, Belinda, wearing a mask, disappeared and spread her wings to follow closely. On the other side, Zeda, who also concealed his figure and spread his wings. The two looked at each other, consciously or unconsciously.

The dwarves were crammed into the carriage like cargo, looking out the window of the carriage as if they were dead, but they were dressed in armor as if nothing had happened, and their own people walked in the rain as if they were alive and loveless.

"I suddenly felt dead and became a skeleton soldier didn't seem like a bad thing. Why are we crammed into a carriage with the elves?"

"Hey, hey, hey, shouldn't I say that?" Andrew, who was also crowded in the carriage, said angrily: "I don't dislike you, you stinky dwarves actually dislike me?"

"What? are you not convinced? Do you want to fight?"

The whole carriage began to shake, but the undead knights around it seemed to be no longer surprised. If the elves and dwarves don't quarrel together, then you need to see if something is going on.

"Can you guys stop moving! it's already crowded!" Jones, who was also in the car, screamed. Dora shrank aggrievedly.

Mount Azrant is the seat of the Holy See. The specific location is actually located less than five kilometers from San Lorenna, Gustavus Empire. San Lorenna, on the other hand, was the second largest city in the Gustavus Empire.

It must be said that the distance between Salted Fish Harbor and San Lorenja is very long, and even if there are wide roads along the way, even if it is the Knights of the Silver Moon, it will take at least two to three months to make a round trip.

"I kind of miss Shelley and Richie. Gray said.

"You've only just left Salted Fish Harbor......"

"Can't you think about it soon after you left?"

"Well, you can. It's always like this when you're a dad for the first time. ”

"We have to get things done quickly and go back, otherwise the child will grow up without a father's love. Maybe I should bring them along. ”

"Forehead......" The black cat spread his hands helplessly.

So, the Knights of the Silver Moon galloped in the torrential rain.

A group of cavalry greeted him, and the lead knight saluted Gray respectfully: "Lord Paladin, I'm here to clear the way for you!"

"Can you keep up with us?"

"Try to ......"

......

At the same time, Mount Azrant, Holy See.

Magnificent halls, intricate frescoes, lifelike statues, ornate colorful glass windows, quaint, openwork corridors crawling with vines.

As solemn as ever. Perhaps because of the Pope's death, the whole Holy See has become quieter. What I could occasionally hear was either the sound of the wind or the chirping of birds in the courtyard. Everyone's steps were extremely light, and there was hardly a sound.

The Pope's coffin has been placed in the main hall.

The balcony of the road shone through the glass windows of the dome and fell on his wrinkled, pale face. His eyes were closed, but his mouth was slightly open, as if he had nothing to say. There are flowers all around.

The cardinals and paladins stood silently on either side.

One by one, the people walked into the main hall. There were clergy, there were aristocrats, and there were merchants. One by one, they paid homage to the Pope's face, saluted, and placed the flowers in their hands beside the coffin.

"Will he come?" asked one of the cardinals in a whisper.

"Definitely coming, I heard it's already on the way. Someone replied.

"What is he doing here? We're just sending a symbolic invitation, not really trying to invite him. ”

"It's okay to come. He only has one vote in his hand, what can he change?"

"No, he has two votes. In addition to the Paladin, he is also a saint. Also, paladins can't run for the new pope, but saints can. Have you thought about it?"

"Does it matter? No one will vote for him anyway. Who's going to vote for a lich? to be the pope?"

"Shh

"Oh, sorry. ”

"Then what we need to think about is what we should do if he does run and he doesn't get elected. And...... Do you want to continue to let him be a paladin, and also a saint. Remember that book a few years ago? I've had a million copies printed. ”
