Indeed, after so many years of changes, the Lane Empire is the world of the Star Church, and the Holy Light Church only has a poor chapel in a few large city-states in the Lane Empire, and as the pope in St. Paul, it has developed, and now even the larger towns have a church.

However, what Faleus was most annoyed about was what St. Paul did, St. Paul did not realize the idea when he was elected as the pope, and increased the control of the Doolan Empire, but instead developed the church of the Lane Empire, from which he did not know how much he was greedy for, and wanted to gain both fame and wealth, which shattered the aristocratic dream of the Great Church of Pharyus.

The people who are now sent to the Lane Empire are all guys who have lost in the battle, and the church of the Lane Empire has only a slightly better status than the Inquisition.

Faleus said: "Your Majesty, I think this is a mistake at all, our church only looks better in the Lane Empire, there are still few believers, but a lot of financial resources have been spent, and there are not even a few priests in each church, because no one wants to go! Your Majesty developed Lane, but it led to the loss of control of the Orlan Empire! In this case, I think Your Majesty should be responsible for what you have done and serve as the cardinal archbishop of the Lane Empire." ”

After all, St. Paul was powerful, and Faleus's words left room for him, and according to these charges, if established, where would St. Paul still hold the priesthood? However, all the people in the council hall had no opinion on Faleus's words, and it would be good to be able to expel St. Paul in a different direction.

St. Paul calmed down, his gaze scanned the whole hall, and finally he said with a hint of disdain: "According to the doctrine, vote." ”

But Aris left no room for it, and said: "There are only two kinds of voting: succession and abdication, according to the doctrine, if you abdicate, your majesty will be found guilty, and all priesthoods will be revoked, and you must ask the oracle to rule." If the priests present are still religious, then please be responsible to the Church and agree to my proposal. ”

The hall fell silent for a moment, no one expected Aris to be so reckless, even Joyla looked at Aris angrily, isn't this adding to the chaos?

But according to the doctrine, although there are people in history who retired from the papal position and continued to hold the priesthood, but that was through the oracle, and the truth of the oracle is unknown, it depends on the means of the pope at that time, Arris, obviously will not let St. Paul get the oracle.

Before the heads of the church could speak, St. Paul was full of confidence and said, "Yes, I agree." He winked as he spoke.

A privy deacon behind St. Paul said: "Cardinal Aristine, the other heads of the Church have not denied that His Majesty can continue to hold the priesthood, so they also say that they only think that His Majesty is at fault, not guilty." You are the only one who thinks that Your Majesty cannot hold the priesthood, so if the result of the ballot is that Your Majesty succeeds you, Cardinal Arist, I think you are slandering Your Majesty and must be held responsible, and in the same way, you must retire and accept the oracle!"

The privy deacon, however, did not say that Joyla, to strike at the enemy, of course, preferably one by one, was agreed between St. Paul and his men.

The meeting turned into a duel, and Aris's face twisted a little, and he decided to fight, saying, "Okay, I agree!"

The atmosphere in the conference hall immediately became very oppressive, and everyone's breathing became lighter.

Looking at São Paulo's confident look, Raphael had a hunch of something. São Paulo was clearly unaware of Joyla's private actions to be so confident.

Looking at Joyla again, she saw that Joyla had no tendency to speak, and it seemed that she didn't realize what was going to happen next.

Raphael spoke: "This meeting has dragged on for too long, it is not good for the glory of the Most High God, if Your Majesty abdicates, then it is guilty, and a new pope must be elected, I suggest, it is carried out in the way of electing a new pope, if other cardinals get more votes, then Your Majesty is guilty, if Your Majesty gets more votes, you are not guilty!"

Joyla finally came to her senses, this matter is very important, if once she wins, then whatever happens after that, she will stand on the highest point, absolutely advantageous, and hurriedly said: "Agreed." ”

St. Paul's heart is bored, relying on delay, after preparing for so long, let's decide the winner.

Still not waiting for the other sect leaders to speak, he said indifferently: "Yes, that's it, in half an hour, the official vote." ”

The atmosphere was tense and depressing, and people kept making excuses to get out of their seats and use various methods to contact the clergy outside the conference hall, who were also the electors of the Great Assembly, and they all had one vote.

There were more than 2,000 official participants in the hall with a radius of more than 100 meters, almost all of whom were senior religious leaders, and there were almost 20,000 low-level clergy above the priesthood outside the main hall.

On the periphery, in the small city-like Temple of Light, there were no less than 100,000 Templars surrounding the conference hall.

In the midst of an uproar, all the people in the conference hall finally stood up, divided into six teams, and walked to the ballot box, and all the mysterious people behind Raphael only followed Raphael, but did not participate in the vote, so as not to arouse doubts.

The head of the Great Sect has one or two private guards, and no one will care, but voting will not work.

After solemnly tossing the red quadrangle ticket into the same red box, Raphael glanced at São Paulo and saw that he was still very calm.

Exhaling softly, Raphael returned to his place, in fact he didn't know what the outcome would be, he could only say that he did everything that had to be done.

After the clergy in the temple voted, the clergy outside the hall were also divided into six teams, and slowly entered the conference hall from the east to vote, and after voting, they came out from the west, but the clergy who had voted out of the conference hall were tacitly divided into two sides, and under the leadership of some of them, they formed a formation.

As the vote was over, St. Paul's pupils constricted as he looked outside the temple at the two great factions, where it was evident that there were relatively few supporters of him, about seven thousand, while the other factions were all mixed together, no less than thirteen thousand!

St. Paul couldn't believe that this was true, and that many of the 13,000 men he had co-opted had been courted by his subordinates, and according to his subordinates, they were willing to support him.

Are these damn bastards just pretending?, São Paulo's face contorted a little, and he fought through the urge to wait for the vote count to finish.

Raphael gestured to Joyla with his eyes.

When Joyla saw it, she showed a hint of joy and nodded slightly.

Raphael looked at the others again, and saw that Gloria was glaring at him, so Raphael simply took the follower behind him, walked over, leaned into Glori's ear, and said, "Don't get involved, dear. ”

Gloria bit her lip and looked at the counting table in the counting hall, and continued, "Raphael, I chose him, although I hate him. ”

Raphael said: "Yes, he is your father after all, my dear, I still want to say that you can hate me." ”

Gloria gritted her teeth and said, "I hate you, I hate why you can't use other methods, the kind that can help me." ”

Raphael laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "My dear, you think too highly of me, I am just using everyone's interests to promote the development of things, and it is impossible for me to surpass him in a short time." ”

Gloria said angrily, "But why are you in such a hurry?"

Raphael tugged at the corners of his mouth, looked at St. Paul, and finally decided to make his words clear, and said: "Glori, I have always liked you, but Valerie is my wife! Of course, I don't want to miss out on the opportunity, so I can be sorry for you, but I still have to pursue my goals. And, if I get stronger, I might be able to save you. Don't you realize that the crisis is near? What the hell!"

Silver eyes were full of suspicion, and Gloria said, "Can you save me?"

Raphael gritted his teeth and said, "Everything is possible, little Sissi, she survived, although her soul was a little damaged." I've been working hard for you and Valerie. As for São Paulo, you don't need his wings anymore, he will take advantage of you more than others. ”

Glori's eyes softened, and she said, "Raphael, I said it, I don't blame you, really, but you have to take care of your body, you really don't refuse to come, don't be played to death by Lucia, the goblin." ”

Raphael sneered awkwardly, "Honey, that's different. ”

Gloria said disdainfully, "What's the difference? Don't tell me, some are just just having fun." ”

Raphaelton couldn't quibble, so he said, "Well, although some of them weren't my intention, I'm really the bastard I like when I see beautiful women." ”

Gloria said with a slightly red face: "I don't blame you, it is normal for powerful men to have many women, and it doesn't hurt that you capture their hearts, I just told you to pay attention to your body." But Lucia dared to betray me, damn it. ”

Raphael said, "Hell, what do you do if you get her to that position? Do you want to see who kills her in the end? Then you might as well kill her directly, Lucia had a lot of swords for you at the beginning, right? Now she's following me, what's wrong? I don't think there's anything wrong with her." ”

Gloria bit her lip and said, "I didn't expect São Paulo to push her into that position, well, I don't blame her." ”

Raphael hesitated and said, "How are Helen and Gina?"

Gloria chuckled and said, "They're fine, Helen has confessed to me, and as you say, I can't blame her." As for Gina, she actually helped me continue the family, what am I unhappy about?"

Looking into Glori's eyes, Raphael saw that she was not talking back, so he relieved himself and said, "Regardless of whether St. Paul fails or not, you must control those Clark people, at least don't let them turn to Aris." ”

Gloria thought of Eve's mirror image and said, "I'm curious how you got that necklace, apparently in the Heresy Dungeon. ”

Raphael and Glory explained their secret techniques, and then they became mentally alert and said, "It's going to be announced." ”

The counting of votes was over, and the counting priest cried out in a trembling voice:

"Cardinal Archbishop Gloria is a saint of God and, according to the doctrine, does not participate in the election of the Pope. ”

"Cardinal Glasius is in charge of the Inquisition and, by doctrine, does not participate in the election of the Pope. ”

"There is a temporary absence of Cardinal Archbishops of the Orlan Empire. ”

"There is a temporary absence of Cardinal Archbishops of the Lane Empire. ”

Cardinal Ariz, two thousand one hundred and fifty-two votes. ”

"Cardinal Joyla, fifteen thousand six hundred and seventy-eight votes. ”

"Your Majesty St. Paul, four thousand two hundred and twenty-one votes. ”

"Damn!" St. Paul's face instantly turned hideous, and he picked up the canon in his hand and shouted: "You damned scum, if you dare to rebel against me, rebel against the Pope, you are an apostasy!"

The privy deacon beside him immediately gave an order to a messenger bracelet, and there was a loud sound of metal grinding, and the clergy outside the main hall of the council all drew their weapons.

The periphery of the conference hall was even more resounding with shouts of killing.

The people in the council hall are also clearly divided into two factions, there are still few people in St. Paul, but St. Paul doesn't care, in the outer Templars, he is definitely stronger.

Aris stood at the front of the ascetic chieftain and shouted, "St. Paul, you are the apostate, and as the Pope, you have started civil strife!"

St. Paul's face turned pale, and he laughed a few times and shouted, "Arris, die!"

The canon rippled, and a huge holy aurora struck Aris.

The holy power of the ascetics surged, and Aris slammed the thick wooden staff, white light appeared, and a simple and extremely round holy shield was condensed in front of him, and the dozen or so ascetics around him stirred up the holy power together.

The thoughts of these ascetics seemed to be in common, and the holy shield suddenly became huge, completely blocking the holy aurora.

With a loud bang, the dozen or so ascetics were all so impacted that they were bounced out along with their shields, but they were not seriously injured.

St. Paul's move seemed to be a signal, the rumble outside the temple was deafening, and the people inside and outside the two sides collided together, the sounds of fighting, cursing, and screams sounded in an instant, and the light and shadow of all kinds of holy arts and fighting spirit flickered continuously.

Joyla used the magic of the holy robe, and white shadows flashed out of her, protecting the most important subordinates around her, but she was not stupid, and she never wore the dedication crown.

Sorrenzo and De Cora were helping Raphael fend off, parrying the Pope's attacks on his behalf, while Raphael calmly locked his eyes on only one person, and that was São Paulo.

Lucia was behind Raphael, strangely helping the mysterious man who had been following Raphael to fend off the attack.

There was chaos in the main hall, and in general, the people of St. Paul were mainly self-preservation.

The figure with his back bent stood quietly in the hall, as if all the battles were illusory, and this figure was clearly like an old man in the last years of the wind and candle, but no one attacked him.

Even in the perception of the higher echelons of the Church, it is a terrifying existence!

Still hanging his head reverently, Glasius said softly: "Innocence is long gone, conceit has caused us all to fall into the kingdom of sin, all kinds of evils leading to the kingdom of God, when will it stop, when to regret it, but there is no way back, ask the Father for forgiveness." ”

After muttering, he raised his head and roared, "Stop it all!"

The sound waves were like substance, as loud as the tide of the sea, overpowering all the sounds, scattering and even spreading throughout the Holy Capital.

It's a pity that no one listens to Glasius, and the fierce fight continues.

The conference hall is big, but it can't stop so many masters from using their strength, in all kinds of fluctuating magical energy, one giant pillar after another collapsed and shattered, and the hall was full of smoke and dust, and after a while, the entire huge roof of the hall collapsed.

The priests in the hall made great concerted efforts this time, gave up attacking each other, and shouted in unison, all kinds of fighting magic rushed to the sky, and the magic elements around the entire hall were a little disordered.

There was another loud bang, and the top of the hall turned into countless rubble, scattering to the surrounding sky, and the surroundings of the conference hall were like a rain of rubble, and the screams continued to sound.

The entire conference hall has disappeared, and this time it will not affect the attack, the people in the field are fighting even harder, and the air is full of all kinds of strange fluctuations, I have to say that the Holy Light Church is indeed powerful.

In the bloody atmosphere, a large number of Templars from the periphery poured into the confines of the conference hall, all of them from St. Paul. Of the nine legion commanders, six of them still supported St. Paul in the end, and the strength of the Templars was obviously stronger than St. Paul, and the control of Faleus was weaker than expected.

Grasius's withered hand fluctuated, and he grabbed a holy spear that flew towards him, tore it to pieces like a rag, and said, "You can't stop it, can you? St. Paul, you have sinned, you have made the church more and more corrupt! Forgive me, Father, I will commit a new sin." ”

Seeing that there were already Templars rushing in from the periphery, St. Paul felt a little more sure in his heart, and laughed sarcastically: "What Father? We believe in the Supreme Goddess of Light, you old fool, do you want to kill me? Come on, let's go one-on-one, Glasius, see how powerful you really are!"

Grasius's eyes became even more cloudy, and he said, "It is said that you are the number one master of the church, but you must die, and the church should be reborn." ”

Hooking his palms, St. Paul said disdainfully: "Freshman, with Joyla? her ideas are more worldly than mine! Come on, Glasius, come on." ”

The Divine Code erupted with a hint of pale golden white light, and all of these white rays shrank into St. Paul's body, St. Paul put away the Divine Codex, and the holy power around his body surged, and a circle of human-shaped ripples appeared around his body.

A burst of fireball was hitting São Paulo, and with a wave of his hand, São Paulo flew out like a small bug.

The air fluctuated strangely, and Grasius's whole figure turned into ripples, and he just moved, approached St. Paul, and punched St. Paul's throat.

St. Paul blocked Grasius's hand, took a wrong step, and kicked between Grasius's legs.

Grasius also kicked São Paulo in the foot.

"Poof!" there was a slight impact, and the two were bounced away by each other's forces.

The space where the feet hit each other was shattered into fine crumbs, and the hands fought each other brought up strings of tiny water droplets, which were actually continuous spatial fragments, rippling around with strange waves.

All magic, fighting spirit, and people touched by the water droplets were all knocked away.

Grasius and São Paulo both paused and threw themselves at each other. (To be continued.) )
