Chapter 166: The White Cardinal

readx;

The buildings on the top of the hill are still white, and the magnificent buildings are all tall. The brush, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info are still intricately carved, and you can feel a solemn atmosphere from a distance. The roof, which was nearly ten meters high above the ground, seemed to be tailor-made for the giants, and the three of Francis looked unusually small when they walked inside.

"Mistress Francis is going to Caesar to study magic, right?" On the way, Alede kept talking to Francis about the church, and talked about Francis as he talked. will definitely give respect to the strong dragon clan, just like Alaide, after being stunned by Francis's domineering, now he has to answer questions when he sees Francis.

"yes, but I'm graduating now, so I'm here to fulfill my promise," Francis sighed, it seemed impossible to take a few days off.

"You're really trustworthy, Your Holiness the Pope really didn't see the wrong person," Alade looked at Francis with admiration.

"Alaed, you're going to the church down the hill again, aren't you?" Just as the three of them passed through an archway, a rough voice stopped them. A tall figure came out from behind the pillar, with short red hair and a strong physique. Francis recognized him at a glance, this man is the knight of Alaide, the former idol of Randy Grace, the very braggart dragon knight Taylor.

"Tailor, look who's coming?" said Alaed, pointing at Francis, at Taylor.

"Who are you?" said Taylor, looking warily at the two Francis, who felt a heavy pressure on them.

"Don't you know me anymore?" Thaler the Dragon Knight," Francis pulled down his hat and looked at Taylor with a smile.

"Oh Mr. Francis, you're finally here" Taylor looked at Francis in surprise, he had been listening to the Pope muttering about Francis for the other day, and now he was finally waiting for him.

"yes, it only arrived today. Aleide is preparing to take me to the Pope."

"By the way, didn't the three of them come with you last time?" Taylor said, referring to Dis, Aeolos, and Saber.

"They're waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain, this is Ulquiola, and I'm my bodyguard," Francis pointed to your, and formally introduced the two of them.

"It's such an honor to meet you, my name is Taylor" Taylor is already a god now, and as a god level, his perception is even keen. But even so, he still couldn't see the depth of your, he only knew that the strength of the man in white in front of him was definitely far superior to his own.

"I'm Alaide"

Your looked at the two of them and nodded, and stopped talking.

"Don't mind, your is like that, doesn't talk much"

"It's nothing, come with me first, the Pope, Lord Pope should be in the Pope's Hall now" Taylor didn't care about your's indifference at all, this is the prerogative of the strong.

"Papal Chamber?" Francis was a little surprised when he heard this place for the first time.

"Yes, this holy mountain is the general site of the Church of Light, and the scale is very large, in addition to the Temple of the Goddess, there are also the Pope's Hall, the Hall of the Holy Maiden, the Templar Knights' Hall, the Inquisition, ......" Taylor said more than a dozen places in one breath, and Francis was a little dizzy when he heard it.

"Are there so many?" asked Francis, far-fetched.

"Actually, it's more than that," Taylor said in a low voice, "There are some places that are still forbidden, and even the Pope is not allowed to enter easily."

"What a troublesome place," Francis glanced around, and every few meters he could see several swordsmen in white armor. According to Taylor, these were Templar warriors, each of whom was a high-ranking warrior.

"Here we are" walked a long way, and just when Francis was completely lost, Taylor finally stopped.

The three glittering characters of "Papal Room" are engraved on the top of the gate, and more than a dozen guards stand side by side on both sides.

"Knight Chief Taylor, what's the matter?" a guard approached Taylor, who was technically their boss as the Knight Chief of the Knights' Palace.

"Tell the Pope that the guest he's waiting for has arrived," Taylor patted the guard on the shoulder, telling him to go in and let him go.

"Okay" The guard looked at Francis and your suspiciously, the Pope's guests were these two young men, and after seeing Francis's face, the guard was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after Taylor reminded him.

"I guess the Pope will be happy to see you" Regarding Francis's strength, Taylor definitely has a say. He had seen with his own eyes how Alade had fallen, and he could overwhelm a dragon with his momentum alone, and this strength would definitely become the mainstay of the church.

"Hahaha... Francis, you're finally here, but my hair is gray" As soon as the guard entered, Pope Griffitz came out of it. Looking at Francis, who was standing next to Taylor, the Pope's smiling eyes couldn't be opened.

"Your Excellency, I can't afford this kind of crime."

"Hahaha...... Let's go, let's go inside" Griffiths grabbed Francis's hand and pulled him directly into the Pope's Chamber, followed by the duo of your and the Dragon Knight.

A group of guards looked at each other, all wondering who the maiden was who had entered, and the Pope had been so casual with her.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"So you met Alaide in the church halfway up the mountain?" Griffitz glanced at Alaide reproachfully, and he guessed what Alede was doing there.

"Yes, thanks to Al and Captain Taylor, I was able to find this place, or I would have to get lost"

"Haha... You're here at the right time, that spatial rift... And the information you provided last time in Lantia was also provided, according to these contributions, now you can be promoted to the rank of white cardinal" Griffiths touched the white beard, he really didn't see the wrong person, this young man can definitely take his place in the future.

"Congratulations to the white cardinal, if so, he is the youngest bishop on the Holy Mountain"

"By the way, what rank are you now?"

"Now I'm an eighth-order light mage" In the past year, the magic power in Francis's body has been condensed to the limit, and the advanced holy level is not far from him.

"Very well, I have something here that I would like to ask you for in private," Griffitz gave Francis a strange look, a look of victory.

"Please, privately?" Francis looked at Griffitz strangely, what else could he not do as a pope?

"You should know that the selection of saints for the church is about to begin, hasn't that little girl Randy Grace been coming to the Holy Mountain for a few days?" Randy Grace is his granddaughter, and in terms of seniority, he is now Francis's elder.

"Well, I know about this, but I can help with the selection of saints?" Francis didn't think he could help with the selection of several women.

"Of course, it seems that you don't know much about the selection process," Griffitz said, rising from his chair and taking a few steps back and forth.

"In addition to the requirements of strength, character, etc., the Holy Maiden of the Church also needs to complete many tasks, and the results of these tasks directly determine whether her ability is qualified for the position of Holy Maiden, and Philomena has done a good job, but..." Griffitz suddenly paused, and his brows furrowed.

"Although I am the Pope, not all cardinals obey my orders, and their position determines that their status in the Church is only slightly lower than mine, and the power in their hands is quite amazing... This time, a cardinal has also set his sights on the position of the Holy Maiden... So, Philomena's last mission might be a bit of a hassle, and I'd like to ask you for a favor privately."

"Is there such a thing in the church?" Francis looked at Griffitz in surprise, in his opinion, the people in the church should be the most devout believers, right, and the same believers in the goddess, shouldn't they work together?

"Speaking of which, there is also my reason here, the cardinal lost to me when he competed with me for the Pope, and he has been obsessed with it all these years, so he also participated in this selection of saints in order to fight for that breath back, hey......".
