In the evening, the public cafeteria of the Dark See is full of people, and the congregation is talking about tomorrow's pope election.

"Hey, do you have a final candidate?"

"I have decided to support Archbishop Vieri, who has done so many things for the Holy See for so many years, and is so Haode person, who else can he be for the position of Pope!"

"Yes, I originally thought that Her Highness the Holy Maiden was also a good candidate, but after thinking about it, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is a woman after all, and a woman is the master of the Holy See. ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with women, weishenme women can't be popes, there are several popes in the Astral Alliance Bright Holy See who are women, don't discriminate against us, I will support Her Highness the Holy Maiden, hey, Kali, who do you support!"

"This still needs to be said, Lei Meng, you support Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and I am naturally on your side!"

"Hehe, it would be good for Her Highness to ascend to the Pope's throne, don't forget that she is good friends with Miss Selena of Hurricane Nine Cities, and it would be of great significance if the Dark Curia was able to establish an alliance with Dream Heaven because of this. ”

“......”

From people's discussions, it can be found that the focus of this papal election is basically focused on Vieri and Lucy, there are actually not many candidates, including the seven archbishops (the yellow bishop has been killed), the head of the Dark Knight, the chief of the adjudication, the abbot of the Holy Indulgence and other important high-level members, who have a lot of prestige among the congregation, and the high priests, cardinals, and even missionaries who are set up as role models by the Holy See may become candidates for the new pope, and the total number of subordinates is more than 200 people in total.

However, although the number is large, all the congregants know that the new pope will definitely be born between Vieri and Lucy, not to mention the other minor members, even the other six bishops outside Vieri have not been mentioned much, and now the rest is the question of Vieri or Lucy as the new pope, and everyone else is a foil.

As for Lucy, due to the first reform of the Holy See, many female congregants who believe that they have been treated unfairly are eager for a female pope to further improve the status of female congregation, so a large number of female congregants led by feminist organizations have become important liliang to support Lucy.

In addition, the Dark Holy See does not prohibit free love between believers, and there are many pairs at the Holy See headquarters, and some female members of the Church are feminine or blow the pillow wind, so that their lovers are also on Lucy's side.

As for Selena, she also contributed a lot to Lucy's election, and some of the congregation were indeed influenced by her, and Princess Dream's efforts were not in vain.

At this time, the two parties were also in the public dining hall, and the dark bishop Vieri was still that approachable, even during the meal, he always smiled and bowed to each of the congregants who greeted him, which earned him more points in the papal election.

Lucy, on the other hand, sat in a corner, eating quietly, and the discussion of the congregation seemed to be unheard, and she never paid attention to it, but was a little absent-minded.

The day of the election is finally coming, but she is very conflicted.

She wanted to obey the oracle of the former pope and wait for the Chosen One to appear, so she did not want the pope to fall into the hands of someone else. However, from a personal point of view, Lucy did not want to be the pope at all.

Once she becomes the Pope, it means that her life will change dramatically, and the burden on her shoulders will be even heavier, because the fate of tens of thousands of people in the entire Dark Church is closely related to herself. Lucy is a strong woman, but after all, she is also a woman, and what she wants to do is to assist others, not to be the protagonist.

This kind of ambivalence and huge pressure was not so significant a few days ago, but now Lucy is very anxious.

Because she found that every time she went to the other courtyard to talk to Ye Ling casually, she felt much better, but now that she hadn't seen Ye Ling for several days, those troubles began to accumulate again, making her suffer from gains and losses.

weishenme, he hasn't come back for a few days?

Well, by the way, he's the kind of madman who only thinks about cultivation, and it's good to be able to spare so much time to talk to me a few days ago.

Should...... That's right.

Lucy persuaded herself, but now she still hoped for no reason that Ye Ling could suddenly appear in front of her and say something to her, even if it was inconsequential, her mood would be calmed down.

In her trance, a man suddenly sat down in the seat in front of her: "Hi, Lucy. ”

Lucy came back to her senses and said in surprise, "Huaxin, why is it so early today?"

She knew that Hua Xin was affected by Ye Ling, this beauty of the Hundred Flowers Clan was also very hardworking, many times dinner was spent in the training ground, just eat some dry food, and now at this time, it was very early for her.

Hua Xin smiled: "Hehe, yes, because someone asked me to help convey a message, I almost forgot." ”

Lucy said, "Who?

Hua Xin lowered his voice, and only the two of them could hear it: "Ye Ling asked me to tell you that he wants to see you, in the Qingxin Lake outside the Holy See." ”

Lucy was surprised, Ye Ling uncharacteristically wanted to see her, and it was in Qingxin Lake, a place that was very important to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Lucy asked, "What, Ye Ling really said that, he didn't come to tell me in person, and he had to go to Qingxin Lake?"

Hua Xin explained: "Because Ye Ling is worried about gossip in the Holy See, some time ago, you had too much contact with him, which may have an impact on your image of the Holy Maiden, and even affect the pope election, so I deliberately avoided it. ”

Lucy suddenly said: "Oh, so that's the case, I said why haven't I seen him in the past few days, but Ye Ling wants to see me again tonight?"

He said that as your friend, before the election, I want to cheer you up, but there are too many eyes and ears in the Holy See, and it would be better to find a secluded place. Hua Xin smiled: "Now he should be waiting in Qingxin Lake, but if you don't have time, you don't have to go, if you don't go before eight o'clock, you have nothing to do, and he will naturally leave." ”

Lucy thought for a moment, tonight at nine o'clock, more than 200 candidates for the Pope will gather for a meeting, and everyone must be present at that time, otherwise they will abstain, and it is not wise to leave the Holy See at this time.

However, Lucy was very eager to talk to Ye Ling casually, for some reason, she was very used to the feeling that Ye Ling gave her, even if it was just talking about some ordinary topics, it could greatly relieve the anxiety in her heart.
