After the letter was sent, Illya kept thinking: Will he come to my inauguration? He didn't even attend Agilu's inauguration.

He has broken his oath not to return to the elven kingdom for the rest of his life, so it should still be possible, right?

However, the Pope must have been so angry when he said that to him so unceremoniously!

He won't hate me for that, will he? I didn't do anything.

Illya leaned back in her chair and looked wistfully at the autumn rain outside the window.

She had in her hand a copy of the teachings of the goddess Emilia, which was much thicker than the usual teachings.

It is a top-secret reading that has been passed down from generation to generation by successive popes.

Illya's thoughts drifted back to Sombra.

There, she spent the happiest years of her life.

I also experienced the most uncomfortable moment in my life.

She remembered that when Mei Yi saw Kira's letter hidden in the book, she decided to go to Kira, and before triggering, he gave Illya a long look.

Illya understood what Meiyi meant.

But she just took a deep breath, shook her head slightly, and said to Mei Yi, "Please be careful, come back with Qiluo." ”

Mei Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hmm." ”

If I hadn't rejected him then, what would we be now?

Thinking of this, Illya shook her head vigorously, but the images in Sombra kept breaking into her mind.

At that time, almost everyone could appreciate the extraordinary relationship between the two, and as long as Elijah reported to Meiyi, Evelyn would leave under the pretext of leaving for an excuse. At that time, Illya was a slightly serious priest, very ignorant of male and female love.

But after getting along for a long time, even gods will have human feelings, let alone a beautiful girl who is in her prime.

Illya knew that Mei Yi was very talented, and "The Beauty of Mathematics" opened up another world for her, but she still felt that Mei Yi had obtained the position of big lord through the relationship of a princess.

Meiyi's careful care of her along the way touched her very much, but that's all.

It wasn't until Mei Yi dealt with the collective rebellion of her major lords with thunder that she was shocked, and she was a little worried that this human being was addicted to power and disregarded the teachings and will of the goddess.

Until the great flood of Meloville.

Because she was not in good health, she stayed in the lord's mansion to act as the lord, and Meiyi led people to run around the fields and cities and villages every day.

Her heart was deeply shaken when she heard the people in the mansion report to her about the lord's work.

In particular, Mei Yi jumped into the flood with extreme exhaustion and rescued a little girl.

"Come back to us, you still have a future!"

Since then, she has felt that every moment with Meiyi is very comfortable.

She experienced the purest emotion between men and women after stripping away all identities.

Until a letter of dispatch from the king took Mei Yi away.

Thinking of this, Illya slapped her head vigorously, tears already wet some of the shabby teachings.

The Pope stood outside the door of Illya's room, silently watching his successor.

Child, love will only weaken you, make you miserable, and make you fall.

Throw away these superfluous emotions and take over the Goddess's instructions.

Soon, it was August, and the weather was already bright.

The continuous autumn rain rarely stopped, and the streets of True Spirit City were full of fallen leaves and flowers that had been knocked down by the wind and rain.

The wide square of the main temple had long been filled with the nobles and well-known figures of the entire elven kingdom, including all of the elven principalities and tribes, and the outer city of the main temple was crowded with countless people. Before the ceremony began, they were all talking casually.

In the main temple, the Pope personally combed Illya's hair in a style that only a Pope can keep.

Illya closed her eyes and didn't look at herself in the mirror.

Mei Yi, in the end, there is still no reply.

Although this was originally expected, why did I still feel so uncomfortable?

I couldn't stop the tears.

She tried to hold back, but she couldn't.

Pope Clepeossu said: "All right, Illya, don't hold it back, if you feel too uncomfortable, cry out loud." The ceremony is still two hours away. ”

Illya couldn't hold back any longer, opened her eyes, covered her face with her hands, and began to cry bitterly.

"Your Excellency, I am so weak, am I not fit to be a pope at all?"

Pope Kepeosu said softly: "The most terrible thing is to let those who have no feelings succeed them as pope. ”

After a long while, Illya sobbed, "Why didn't he want to come to my inauguration?" I want to see him. ”

Pope Kepeossu said: "There will be opportunities to see you later." After succeeding as the Pope, there is no place in this world that you need to worry about except for Warcraft. The power of our Lord Temple is not inferior to that of any other nation. I don't care what you want to do with this power. After the ceremony, I was an ordinary old man. ”

* * *

The priests of the main temple and the temples of the kingdom were arranging the succession ceremony, and the voice of the roll call came to Illya's ears from time to time:

"The Elves, Elves and Humans United Kingdom Duke Zezong attends the succession ceremony of Pope Illya."

"King El of the Elves of the Principality of Silun attends the succession ceremony of Pope Illya."

"Queen Ai Yi of the Orthodox Elven Principality attends the succession ceremony of Pope Illya."

Hearing that these countries, which she had only read about in books, attended her succession ceremony, Illya's heart was unwavering.

When she saw that the Pope was a little tired, she said, "Your Excellency, rest first, and I'll ask Angelia to tie my hair." ”

Pope Carpiosu said, "Okay, then I'll go sit down for a while." It's strange that people know that they have to take off their responsibilities, and they seem to be immediately overwhelmed by endless pressure. ”

Angelia was a very serious person, and she stood behind Illya, and with a blank face, she helped Illya continue to comb her hair.

"Parrott, the First Elven Knights of the Sea, attends the succession ceremony of Pope Iliya."

Angelia saw Illya's puzzled expression in the mirror and said, "Actually, it's a group of pirates." As a result of your succession ceremony, Queen Agiro gives a three-day pardon to all fugitive criminals or criminal syndicates. As long as they don't break the law during this time, the kingdom won't capture them. ”

"Medusa of the Knights of the Sea Zero attends the succession of Pope Illya."

Angelia said: "The notorious female pirate leader, it is said that she has a pair of magic eyes, and everyone she sees is turned to stone. In fact, he just likes to pour enemies into bags full of mortar and stones. ”

Illya smiled bitterly, "Angelia, don't scare me today." ”

Angelia looked at Illya in the mirror and said, "Okay, I got it." ”

Registration continues,

"Flair Knights of the Sea Flying Order attends the succession of Pope Illya."

"Tiger Elf Tribe Elder Bart attends Pope Eliya's succession ceremony."

"Elder Femilis of the Black Jiao Elf Tribe attends the succession ceremony of Pope Elijah."

"Yin Li, the elder of the Bai Zhi Elf Tribe, attended the succession ceremony of Pope Illya."

"Queen Heffy of the World Tree Elf Principality attends the succession ceremony of Pope Elijah."

Illya asked, "Angelia, are you sure King Meiyi won't come?" ”

Angelia said, "I'm sorry, Illya, I didn't ask him, and he never took the initiative to mention it. ”

Illya sighed and didn't speak again.

Angelia said, "Illya, according to my understanding of him, he will come. ”

Illya didn't speak.

After her hair was tied, Illya, with Angelia's help, put on a pink papal gown. Unlike the acting papal vestments worn in the past, the formal papal garments had wide black edges on the collar, cuffs, and hem, embroidered with snowflakes and sword patterns.

The new Pope's hair was stiff, and Illya felt a little uncomfortable.

After Angelia went out, Illya looked at the beautiful clothes in the closet. These clothes were all added to her time in Sombra City, and she never wore them again when she returned to the main temple.

The days in Sombra City came back to mind.

Discuss things with Meiyi.

Listen to Meiyi's stories of all that are new and interesting.

Tell Mei Yi the story of what happened in the church.

Demonstrate her spiritual skills to Mei Yi, every time Mei Yi is amazed, she will be a little secretly proud in her heart.

She shook her head vigorously again, "Forget it, it's all over." ”

She sat back on her stool and took deep breaths.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she could hear her own heartbeat.

At that time, Kira was in the same mood when she ventured out to do those things in the Land of the Winds?

She was luckier than me, and Mei Yi staged a heroic rescue at the last moment.

I can't even see him before I succeed him.

* * *

The square was bustling with people shouting.

The knights of the main temple had returned from all over the place, thousands of knights patrolling and maintaining order, and a large number of plainclothes knights were shuttling through, keeping an eye on the guests attending the ceremony.

You know, many guests say that what kings, elders, princes, in fact, all have a common identity - criminals, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, if something goes wrong, the inauguration of the Pope is ruined.

Parrott, the leader of the "First Elven Knights of the Sea", squinted his eyes, looked at the dignified and beautiful noble lady and lady in the square of the Elf Kingdom, and said: "There are still many beautiful women on the mainland, and there are only those female slaves who are like dead fish on the sea, and there are fierce and savage female pirates. ”

Medusa, the leader of the "Knights of the Sea Zero", mocked: "Parrott, you don't want to fight these nobles, do you. Don't really think of yourself as the head of the First Elven Knights of the Sea, but just a pirate leader. If you dare to move, these Templars will cut off your hands in no time! ”

Parrott squinted his eyes and said, "Of course I don't dare to fight the idea of these nobles, but as for those human women, even if they disappear, I guess no one will pursue them, right?" It's strange that there are so many humans in the square, and they are still talking to elves and goblins? Where is the arrogance of the elves and elven nobles? ”

Only then did Medusa notice that, indeed, in the past few years since she left the mainland, it seemed that a lot of unusual things had happened between humans, elves, and goblins.

There are indeed many human races in the Goddess Square.

Until she went to sea to fight for her life, it was almost impossible for humans to come to this square.

What has happened in the Kingdom in recent years?
