Chapter 633: Final Election (Asking for a Monthly Ticket)

With Cardinal Jerome and Cardinal Lawrence falling and losing their rivals, Cardinal Patrick entered the final race.

In addition, Cardinal Shilmelia of Narmen also became one of the final electors.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the attention of the ground. So much so that everyone's first reaction was not to believe it.

There are only three thoughts: first, impossible, and second, impossible. Third, it's still impossible~

How is this possible?

How could that woman, the young girl who had just graduated, become a cardinal archbishop?

There has never been a precedent for this in the Vatino's thousand-year history.

You must know that the cardinal archbishop is not so easy to become a super-large monopoly group, the Holy See, a super-large monopoly group, has a strong power organization all over the continent, has a strict organizational structure, has its own army, and implements its own laws, and is a powerful power organization that transcends the state.

The cardinal is the highest management of this organization, that is, the board of directors of the group of the Holy See, who really holds real power, and is a big man who is one level higher than the king of a small country, and everyone looks up to him.

The Holy See has millions of employees, and there are only a few dozen cardinals. I know the importance of this seat.

I want to be a cardinal, but it is not easy to be extreme, and I have to talk about both qualifications and ability. It is also necessary to talk about the back, and to have enough good luck, as well as popularity, prestige...... And so on and so forth, all of these conditions are indispensable.

The last person to set a record for promotion and become a cardinal as the youngest cardinal was fifty years ago, and he was forty-nine years old when he became cardinal. At that time, he was called a young and promising, talented man, and he also flashed in the history of the Holy See.

And Schillelia simply broke this record and created a precedent in the thousand-year history of the Holy See, and she has become a cardinal archbishop before she is even twenty-three years old.

It's a complete jaw drop.

For this alone, Schillelia has become a legend in the history of the Holy See, an icon for all female clergy.

And now, she is going to run for the Pope in one go, and she has entered the final campaign stage, no matter how you look at it, how it feels a little incredible.

How old is Sylmelia, and she is about to complete the triple jump of her life and rush towards the ultimate goal.

This can be said to have subverted the understanding of the Holy See by many people on the mainland.

Gambling casinos in many places on the mainland have found it profitable, and now they have all given up the previous ** lottery, stocks, futures, and even the most profitable football lottery, and have shifted their attention to this.

This is a once-in-a-decade event, and the whole continent is the focus of attention, so it is natural to do it perfectly.

Mr. Ma once said: "If you have a 300 percent profit, it will make people crazy." ”。

Now all kinds of transfer beasts have jumped out, commenting on the great significance of Schillea's candidacy for the Pope and the possibility of her becoming the Pope, and the people of the whole continent have also gone crazy, and everyone has been discussing the mysterious election at the Holy See headquarters all day long.

These puppies saw the amazing profits behind it, and they were already crazy with stage 3 epilepsy and meningitis

They have publicly offered odds for this pope election. There is no fear that the Holy See will be thunderous and angry, and after the fact, everyone will be held responsible, and they will be convicted of blasphemy, and they will all be thrown into the hard labor field to dig sand.

Of course, this also has something to do with their backstage bookmakers. The biggest dealer in their backstage is Flying Eagle International Co., Ltd. Now everyone knows that the Flying Eagle Group is huge, and only they are not afraid of the Holy See and dare to fight with the people of the Holy See.

Now this multinational company has the hegemonic demeanor of a super-trust and a monopoly business empire, and wherever it can make money, it must be intervened.

Moreover, with its strong and unparalleled strength, the flying eagle company stepped in, and the line strategy was completely the overlord of the mall, doing less work, giving the least effort, taking the least risk, but taking the most money.

So much so that when everyone mentioned it, they all loved and hated, affectionately calling the chairman of the company - that damn little dead fat man, the 'thunder tiger' who didn't spit out bones for eating people.

The implication is quite obvious, that is, although the little dead fat man is not very old, he is extremely old and spicy in doing things. When encountering prey, it is like a tiger, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing the other party's slag.

And this time is no exception.

With its strong marketing network all over the continent, the Flying Eagle Company opened a gambling game. In order to make more money, they even manipulated the odds and engaged in black-box operations under the instruction of Lorraine.

At first, it was just a news release that Cardinal Hilmelia did not have much chance of winning, so the odds of her election were extremely high.

After a while, he said that she was the star of hope of Ney'an, the savior of the half-orcs, and there were millions of believers in the development alone, who were kind-hearted, charitable, and jealous and hateful, and that she was a genius of the Holy See that had not been encountered in a hundred years, and that she was simply an angel who came into the world to save all the people from fire and water.

A little later, news came that she was related to the ** queen of Almohad.

Later, another news came that Cardinal Patrick used despicable means to frame Lawrence Cardinal, and then fabricated evidence to frame Jerome Cardinal......

All kinds of rumors are flying in the sky, so that they can't even figure out what is true and which is false.

Some of these rumors were designed to create public opinion and suppress Patrick.

Others, Lorraine started as a clever chess player, taking into account the future. In order to pave the way for future things, make a good layout in advance, and give vaccinations to the people.

Usually people who believe in this and believe in that will have a heated argument together, and it is better to wave their fists and try to persuade them when they are annoyed. Anyway, it's true and false, false and true, and the people of the whole continent who are tossed are dying.

After this fatigue bombardment, when Schillea really became the first female pope, people would not think that it was unacceptable for a woman to become a pope, or even accept it naturally. This is called a public opinion offensive, and it is this method that Lorraine has seen in her previous life those who engage in hype.

And in this way, it will also be convenient for Shilmelia to control the entire continent in the future.

And Cardinal Patrick didn't know the power of this public opinion at first, and was caught off guard.

You must know that although the cardinal archbishops of each diocese control their dioceses, they also have to consider their own position and situation when facing the turbulent world discussion.

At the very least, when faced with the questioning of the heavyweight aristocratic senators of the diocese, they must also explain accordingly. You can't directly tell those ruffians who have eaten all day and have nothing to do: "Lao Tzu just likes to vote for Patrick, if you don't accept it, you bite me?"

The ruffians had been bought by Lorraine and were one of the bosses behind the gamble.

According to Lorraine's carefully calculated odds, if Schillelia wins, then they can make a fortune. And if Schilleria loses, they will lose a lot.

Those puppies have always been arrogant, and they have a problem with the Cixi witch who wants to live for another three or five hundred years - if you don't let me have a good time, I will never let him have a good time~

In order to make up for the losses, they must be working against their cardinals, leading the common people to resist rent and donations, and make stumbling blocks for those bigwigs.

At that time, everyone will really be unlucky.

As a result, several wavering cardinal archbishops, persuaded and persuaded by the local nobles, relented and threw themselves into the camp of Schille.

Now is the last chance to campaign, no matter if you win, you must choose a side.

Just being a wall-riding faction has no future. People are lonely, and no one will be treated.

When the time comes, no matter which side comes to power, the first thing to clean up is these wall grasses, which can make room for private people to press and insert, and second, they can also kill chickens and monkeys to deter the hostile side.

And it turned out that the cardinals of the Lawrence line and the cardinals of Jerome's line fell because of the fall of their leader, and they completely lost the papal race, and the entire faction also collapsed.

Because of the success of Lorraine's frame-up, everyone believed that Lawrence and Jerome had fallen to Patrick, and out of anger at him, or out of sympathy for the two unfortunate friends, they immediately turned to Hillelia.

As a result, Sylmelia's power suddenly soared.

But despite all the efforts of the Lorraine people, her weakness was too obvious in the eyes of the diehards, who were young and female.

In this situation, the guys, out of the prejudices that had developed over the years, chose to support Cardinal Patrick more firmly.

Lorraine found that although there were many people on his side, they were still weaker than Patrick and were in a relatively disadvantaged position.

But fortunately, the final election of the Pope is different from the election of the President of the United States, and everyone is directly elected by one person, one vote. And you have to get more than three-quarters of the votes and get everyone's recognition to win.

This requires that candidates must make promises to those who hold the ballots to make their policies in the interests of all, so as to ensure the stability and development of the Holy See. In this way, we can win the support of others, and in essence, we will be the same as making a pro-people appearance before the election of the legislators, going to the street and holding hands with everyone to say good things and ask for votes, all for that vote, and as for the promises made after being elected, we will talk about it after being elected.

Now the competition has entered a white-hot stage.

Because the situation is evenly matched, and it is impossible for anyone to take half a step back, both sides have used all kinds of conventional and unconventional means to win this war.

In the Guangming Council, the two sides quarrel every day.

They first compared each other's images to each other.

For example, "You bastard"

"You stupid pig"

"You bitch"

“……”

At this time, whoever has a louder voice, who has enough lung capacity, and who can spray their own spit on the other person's face will win.

Then in the second stage, it is to expose each other.

"You peeked at girls taking a shower. ”

"You had unclean hands and embezzled public funds. ”

"Thirty-seven years ago, you borrowed me three gold coins in order to go to the hair wash room for a massage, and now you are about to return it. ”

“……”

At this time, everyone compares to see who reveals the ruthlessness, tearing the scars hidden in the deepest part of the other party's heart, tearing it more bloody, if you can take it with blood tendons when you remove it, then you can get more points.

In the third stage, everyone will have a small universe explosion. Transform directly into a beautiful female warrior...... Uh, Bah, Bah...... Directly turned into a street hooligan. Start the PK showdown.

The most famous of these is the Three Musketeers in Red. They were friends with Obakhm and Pope St. Paul, and they had formed a political alliance for many years. Not only is the strength strong, but they are all brave and good at fighting, which is extremely powerful. Make a name for yourself on the mainland.

Although Cardinal Adoras is nearly ninety years old, because he likes to snatch girlfriends when he is young, he often decides with others, so he makes a good swordsmanship, Dugu Nine Swords, one sword turns into nine swords, the moves are ruthless, and he is invincible.

And the cardinal archbishop of Portosi is nicknamed Iron Armor King Kong, tall and fat, charging into battle, and invincible.

In one-on-one, his strength may not be able to be exerted, but as long as he fights in a group p, uh, he can see his strength.

In a fight, like a heavy chariot, you can easily tear through the enemy's defense line as long as you rush through it fiercely. Ren was six or seven people who couldn't withstand his onslaught, and then the rest of the people rushed in from the gap, carrying each other and beating each other.

If the others are fighting head-on in the open, then Cardinal Alamo acts like a thief assassin, directly in the midst of the hosts, beheading the enemy general.

This is the master of the squatting pit yin man, under normal circumstances, he is hiding behind, throwing a teacup, smashing a chair or something, but as long as the enemy shows a flaw, he quietly sneaks over, and then stumbles under his feet, grabs the vital point in his hands, and then comes to a big monkey to steal peaches, and a small monkey picks grapes or something, the painful enemy immediately screams, and is immediately defeated.

And Patrick's side is not a provincial lamp.

Although most of them are politicians and bureaucrats, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, they uphold the characteristics of professional politicians, and they are extremely vicious. Not only has a slight upper hand in numbers, but also is extremely organized, orderly and united. It's on par with Shilmelia's side.

As the host, Obakhim should also pay attention to his identity, and he can't pull too obviously, but within the scope of his authority, he is still a big Ratra.

Despite this, it was the earth-shattering sound of the wooden gas knocking every day, and the tired wrists were inflamed. Every afternoon, when I get off work, the first thing I do is to go to Lester and ask for a few pairs of plasters to stick on my hands.

Although it seemed a bit humiliating for him to do this as a cardinal, in this kind of fatigue and injury, it was the magicians' medicine that was more effective.

These days, everyone's life is extremely regular.

Wake up early in the morning, feast on the feast, and then rest a little, and then enter the Sistine chapel to convene the Great Council of the Holy Light, which is sacred and solemn yet lively.

Everyone sat down in two groups. Then Obachem banged on the wood, announced the meeting, and then everyone began to fight.

First, there was a group ridicule, and then the two sides began to point at each other and scold each other. And then there was the small commotion. He stabbed the other person with his fingers and pushed him twice.

Then, it is to start throwing teacups and copying chairs to start a war.

As the battle entered the white-hot stage, all the command systems of both sides had failed, and everyone began to fight. At this time, the personal ability of these bigwigs is tested the most.

These old guys have been in battle for a long time, and they are treacherous, slippery, and vicious, making stumbling blocks steal peaches, and all kinds of tricks are repeated.

Leo's evaluation of this is: Even if that Zhao Zilong comes, it is impossible to kill him from this siege.

Although Lorraine didn't speak, she was very impressed with Leo's evaluation in her heart.

By the time both sides were so tired that they couldn't move on the ground, the sun was already in the west.

Obakhim also knocked on the wood and announced the adjournment of the meeting. Everyone cleaned up and went back to dinner. Take care of your own affairs, then take a good rest, go to bed early in the evening, and recuperate so that you can continue to fight the next day.

The life that everyone has lived during this period of time is extremely fulfilling, although it is painful, but it is also deeply memorable.

Many years later, those bigwigs who are still alive can't help but reminisce when they think of these days: Those days were really happy~

Originally, everyone thought that such a fulfilling and happy life could go on forever, but one day, the deadlock in the election campaign was broken by a sudden news.

×××××××

As if waking up from a dream, Lorraine heard the tomming of the door.

He thought it was Leo making trouble again, so he scolded at the moment, then turned over and was about to go back to sleep.

But then I heard an anxious voice say, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency......"

Lorraine suddenly came to her senses.

He looked up at the window, and saw a waning moon hanging in the middle of the sky, and the night was still very deep, and it was the deepest time of the night.

He immediately put on his clothes and got up, and if he could come and call himself at this time, there must be something urgent.

Lorraine came to the door, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was a low-ranking priest. The man's appearance looked familiar.

Lorraine thought for a moment, and then remembered that this person was a close confidant of St. Paul's side.

He couldn't help but wonder, at this time, what was the matter with him coming to him?

The attendant saw his doubts, bowed at the moment, and said, "My lord, Your Majesty has something important to look for you, please go over as much as possible." ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment and said, "What is the matter?"

The attendant bowed again, and said expressionlessly: "My lord, I am only responsible for conveying orders. Just know, very important things. ”

Lorraine looked at him twice, but seeing his expression, she knew that even if she asked, she would ask in vain. He snorted with a little dissatisfaction at the moment.

But this is the invitation of His Majesty the Pope, even if he is unwilling, if he does not go, it is still light to be charged with contempt for the Holy See, and the most important thing is that Shilmelia will also be furious, saying that she did not take her father seriously. It's looking for ballast again, picking noses and eyes.

Does Schillea still have a life in her belly, Lorraine knows that she can't afford to mess with this aunt now, and everything has to follow her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, you wait a minute." I'm going to change my clothes. ”

After a while, the squire was a little anxious, and Lorraine got dressed and came out again.

Lorraine looked at him and smiled, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go." ”

The attendant did not slack off at the moment, agreed, and then took the first step and walked outside.

Lorraine followed him into the hall, only to see that Obakhim and Rester were already waiting there.

He looked at the other two people with dazed and sleepy looks, and it was obvious that they were also hurriedly woken up in their sleep.

Lorraine and them looked at each other, and it seemed that the two old fellows didn't know what was going on.

The attendant nodded to them, and then went out with the three of them.

The middle of the hall fell silently.

But then, a head with a nightcap emerged from the corner, the little face was pink, white and chubby, and it was none other than Leo's grandfather.

And on top of his head, a chubby head that was also wearing a nightcap appeared, which was Xiaobai.

The two little ones got up together at night to pee.

These two bad guys are all stupid and bold, and they are never afraid of the dark.

And they were all very particular about getting up to pee, not going to the toilet, not looking for a night pot, but having to find the largest and most beautiful flower in the garden outside, and then peeing on the flower branch, and the next morning, they were happy to see that the whole flower was burned to death by their child's urine.

The two of them got up to pee, and as soon as they came out of the room, they heard movement, so they sneaked over to see what was going on.

At this time, they saw that the figures of Lorraine were about to disappear into the night, and they glanced at each other at the moment, and then quietly followed.

Lorraine followed the squire through the garden, and found that the knights of the guards who had been guarding him were gone. It's as if they never appeared.

Lorraine's heart sank. Apparently they were evacuated. And the reason for the withdrawal is nothing more than that there is a secret thing that people don't want to see.

He faintly smelled something unusual in the air.
