"4 groups of night watchmen, half of Stanford's strength, and a night watch order leader and at least 3 royal archmages with level 8 magical powers, such a lineup of such power, may I ask this beautiful and wise young lady, do you really think I can be ready? If so, then I must thank you for your extraordinary recognition of me, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, not to mention that I'm ready to take the people you want from this group of people, I don't even have the courage to appear on that lawn and stand in front of that group of people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

With mockery and teasing, the Alpha with the big sword in his arms looked playful, and he remembered the scene when the lonely and weak girl appeared in front of him that night alone with two whole boxes of gold, and suddenly he was a little puzzled, how could this noble lady, who did not seem stupid, expect him to complete this absurd and almost crazy task alone?

It's pitiful, but it's just a straw after all, and he can't save his life.

The moonlight sprinkled indifferently on the windowsill, quiet and cold, it was strange that even at this time Elizabeth could still be silent and calm, she was not angry or desperate and hysterical, just looked at the adventurer Alpha standing on the wall, and met the latter's slightly scarlet eyes, she said seriously: " I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know enough about the adventurers in the imperial capital, but in the wasteland, I know that the so-called adventurers are people who are willing to pay the price of their lives to win profits and wealth, so since you have received 20,000 gold from me, you should have the consciousness to bear the cost of your life, respected adventurer, are you right?"

Alpha sneered and pursed his lips, neither saying nonsense about having to have a life to enjoy, nor wondering why the girl, who was obviously still a child, didn't worry about him just turning away and leaving with her two chests of gold, he just stood like that, cruel and playful, indifferent.

This undoubtedly brought Elizabeth a great sense of suffocation, and she bit her lip tightly: "Adventurer, are you planning to betray your faith?"

Faith?

Alpha, who had long since lost his soul and had long forgotten who he was, laughed dumbly, from suppressing his laughter with difficulty, to laughing out loud, and finally even laughing to tears, he was like hearing a great joke similar to a priest telling him that God would eventually redeem his filthy soul, he laughed so freely and presumptuously that even the bright moonlight seemed to have quietly retracted its dazzling light because of the treachery of this picture.

He finally reluctantly restrained his laughter, and said sharply in a voice still smiling, "As you wish, I swear to defend my faith firmly." He bit the word faith especially hard, and made no secret of his rejection, and then he continued: "But this noble young lady, when it comes to faith, don't you think that 20,000 pieces of gold are really cheap for my faith? ”

Elizabeth did not hesitate in the slightest: "Present your conditions." After a pause, as if afraid that he would repent, she quickly added, "Any conditions." ”

"Any conditions?"

"Any condition. ”

"Well, with you, it's barely enough to get my faith. ”

There was no longer any hiding his naked eyes, and Alpha's reddened eyes kept swimming over the girl's still immature body.

No one could have imagined Elizabeth's determination, and she did not even hesitate in the slightest.

"Good. ”

Alpha was stunned and couldn't speak.

Then, after a long time, when the killing screams on the lawn opposite him gradually subdued, he slowly collected all his emotions, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Wait, I will fulfill our deal, and I will take him out of here and back to your wasteland - even if it costs him his life." ”

Elizabeth's eyes darkened.

She turned.

Is there still time to wait?

......

"There's really no time to wait. ”

In the electoral hall next to St. John's Cathedral, Mass looked up at the hourglass of time hanging in the center of the hall in front of the hall, and realized that the time was almost up, he frowned quietly and imperceptibly, and then put down the quill pen in his hand that had basically not stopped for the past few days, and he looked around calmly at the adults who were waiting for the results of another election. Yes, the sixth election for the next cardinal archbishop of Noe is going on at this time, and it stands to reason that as a candidate, even if Mass does not wait for the results of the election in fear, at least he should be in a good position, and in the process of the election, he should give all the adults as much respect as possible, and wait quietly for the results, just like his rival from the south, the Bishop of Tiffano, and sit and wait carefully.

But no, not only did he not correct his attitude at all from the beginning to the end of the Mass, but even during these six elections, he was always immersed in all the teaching affairs concerning the province of Noe, completely ignoring the adults in the election hall, and never paying attention to anyone.

Arrogant?

Apparently yes.

But for Mass, this in itself was a normal thing to do, and it was of course the most important thing for Noi to do, both before and after the election, rather than waiting for nothing to do.

Of course, for the adults from the south, his arrogant gesture is undoubtedly difficult to understand and accept, but there is no way, no matter how difficult it is, they must accept it, because like the presbyterian members who sit at the top and are in charge of arbiting the results of the election, they also know very well that it is a mass, a mass of the Holy See.

The results of the 6th election have finally been announced.

Unreasonable, as expected, there is still no final result.

It seems that Bishop Tifano has indeed won wide support during the years when the Mass has been away from the ecclesiastical center, otherwise how could his votes not be lower than the votes of the Mass for six consecutive times? Such a result must be taken seriously even by the Mass? After all, if the election of the cardinal archbishop is inconclusive for seven consecutive times, the candidate will automatically lose his candidacy.

Everyone then looked to Mass who was seated on the leftmost side of the electoral hall, including Bishop Tifano, who was also seated opposite him.

They were still curious about how the Mass would react, just like the previous five times.

Or do you ignore it, don't take a stand, and let the seventh election go on as normal? In that case, it is very likely that he, the sun of the Holy See, will once again become the focus of attention of the entire continent, and it will still be a less glorious focus.

The adults in the south looked playful, and the six consecutive failures had given them enough confidence that they began to look forward to the negative emotions of this young papal sun, even if they were not out of shape and angry, it should always be possible to frown a little and show anxiety, right? As for the adults who had absolute faith in the Mass, although they categorically did not think that the Mass would fail, the inconevitability of six inconsequence made them a little nervous.

I wonder how this sunny sun, who was personally pointed out by His Majesty the Pope as the hope of the next generation of the Holy See, could fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Is it really just because the Holy See has never had a precedent for a so-called 'acting cardinal'?

In front of everyone's eyes, Mass suddenly stood up slowly.

Look at!

In the end, he was still nervous and couldn't sit still, no matter how perfect his expression was and how calm he looked, he still didn't say anything like the previous 5 times, ignored it, and let the election continue next time!

The adults in the south couldn't help but even be slightly excited by the fruits of this victory, which was perhaps not worth mentioning at all!

The atmosphere in the election hall suddenly became much thicker for a while.

These, the Mass that calmly rose up seemed to turn a blind eye.

He just glanced at the adults in the hall casually, and sighed inexplicably, "I'm sorry, I'm running out of time." ”

Then, while everyone was confused, he turned his gaze to the Bishop of Tiffano across from him, and met the old, calm face of his greatest rival, and he smiled suddenly, as sunny as before, as warm as before.

He said, "You think you are smart enough, but God is far wiser than you, and he is on my side." (To be continued.) )
