A steward brought a few people to the two wings, which were the guest rooms for foreign guests, but not many guests were able to enter the headquarters of the Dark Holy See and stay at the property.

The wing room is very simple, except that it is clean and spacious, it has no advantages, because the Dark Church advocates pure heart and few desires.

"Just two of you, let's stay here for a while, and if you need anything, just talk to the steward, there is something going on over there in the Holy See, I'll be with you, and I'll come back to lunch with you in the afternoon." After saying a few words, Lucy hurried away, and went straight to another place in the Holy See, where the night was particularly thick, indicating that the mysterious liliang was stronger, and further on, it was almost impossible to see, as if it had fallen into an absolute dark void, and even the light from the lamps hanging by the side of the road could not penetrate this darkness.

Like many formations, the Dark Realm is full of traps that can be touched by the slightest carelessness, but Lucy is very familiar with it, because she has walked here thousands of times, even with her eyes closed, she can reach her destination.

After a while, a glimmer of light appeared in front of her, and Lucy emerged from the darkness of the night to a magnificent building worthy of the Great Hall.

This is the Central Council of the Dark See, one of the most important departments for many sects, and is reserved for the most senior members of the Holy See to discuss important matters, and it is not accessible to other members of the Headquarters.

Pushing open the door of the council room, three old men with childish faces were already waiting.

Although their beards and hair are white, their faces are very ruddy, and there are no wrinkles, and they look like the kind of people who are wise and calm, and have experienced strong winds and waves.

These three old men are all archbishops of the Dark Church.

Like the Holy See of Light, the Holy See of Darkness has eight bishops, composed of high-ranking people with strong liliang and great wisdom, who are the central members responsible for making the Holy See function, and have the highest decision-making power except for the Pope and the Dark Celestial Maiden. However, five bishops went out on an outing, and only three remained in the Holy See.

Seeing Lucy, one of the old men said slowly, "You're back!"

This old man is relatively thin, looks no different from ordinary people, speaks slowly and logically, no matter his appearance or temperament, he does not have the power of a powerful person, and people who see him would never think that he will be one of the famous archbishops of the Dark Church, but the dusty black robe shows that he is not only an archbishop, but also the highest-ranking black-clothed bishop among the archbishops!

The eight archbishops are all top leaders above 10,000 people under one person, but the division of labor is different, and the status is slightly different, and the black bishop can be called the chief bishop, he is definitely a man as wise as the sea, and has the power to handle almost all the affairs of the Holy See, big and small. When the Dark Celestial Maiden traveled, he temporarily took over the responsibility of the Holy See.

Lucy came to the round table in the center of the chamber and sat down: "Yes, I'm back, Bishop Vieri, is there anything important that you hastily sent me a letter to return to the Holy See?"

The Holy See did not tell her directly in the message, but summoned herself back to the Holy See tens of thousands of miles to personally attend the discussion, indicating that this matter is not trivial.

I don't know Weishenme, from Bishop Vieri's calm tone, she smelled a hint of unhappiness.

"There is rather bad news, but we must tell you," Vieri's voice became mournful, "Your Highness, Archbishop Egrus has suffered misfortune on his way to the will of my lord!"

Lucy's delicate body was shocked, and her face suddenly became bloodless, because Egrus is not only the yellow cardinal of the Dark Church, but also a very important person to her, since she was chosen by the Dark Church when she was a child and became the future inheritor of the Dark Celestial Maiden, all the archbishops have been very good to her, but Egrus is more like a loving father who cares about her growth, and the relationship between the two is very good, so this news is definitely a major blow to Lucy.

But she didn't show a grief-stricken reaction, because since she was a child, Egrus had taught her that to be the image representative and spiritual leader of the Dark Church, she had to remain calm and composed, no matter what happened.

Biting her lower lip tightly and letting go after a while, Lucy tried her best to control her emotions, but her voice was still a little shaky: "This is ...... How did it happen?"

"Bishop Egrus was killed!" The old man in red beside Vieri slapped his palm on the round table, his excitement overflowing: "Since Bishop Egrus, we have found the place where the incident occurred according to the clues he left along the way, and found obvious traces of fierce battle damage!"

Not every high-ranking person needs to maintain a stable image like Vieri or the Dark Celestials, Cardinal Terrence in charge of guarding and combat training is the polar opposite, he has a pair of copper bell eyes, straight red nets erected, extremely majestic, his temper is as fiery as when he was young, and many people in the Dark Curia are in awe, but for a large organization like the Dark Curia, a similar role is necessary, it is not enough to conquer the Cult ideologically, an archbishop who acts sternly can better help to govern the Holy See。

Bishop Josephine, who is in charge of the economic operation of the Holy See, is the only woman among the eight archbishops, and women are always more sensitive, she sighed and said: "Bishop Egrus is the most popular person in the Holy See, and is deeply respected and loved by all the Holy See, and now his departure is really a great loss to our Holy See!"

Lucy's brows furrowed suddenly, Egrus is one of the five bishops who are out and about, however, this archbishop is also a super strong, even if he is not in the dark curia, it is not easy for anyone who wants to poison him, and asked at the moment: "Bishop Terrance, have you found anything else from the scene, I mean, who may be the other party?"

Terrance shook his head and said, "The scene has been processed, and only traces of the battle remain, but I can't find out more information!"

Vieri added: "But after we discussed, Zuihou agreed that it should be the work of the Supreme Sect!"

Lucy's beautiful eyes widened, "What, Supreme Sect?"

The Supreme Sect is one of the nine major sects in the gray forbidden area, and the Rebirth Sect and the Dark Holy See are equally famous, if the Rebirth Sect will at least do some hypocritical superficial work to cover up its evil, then the Supreme Sect is an out-and-out cult that is indignant to people and gods, believing in the creed of self-respect, and maintaining its rule by extreme means, which makes people smell and change.

The members of this sect are almost all evil demons and murderers, and their henchmen are all composed of bandit groups, and the Supreme Sect Master Dugu is one of the notorious five evils in the gray forbidden area, just by this name, you can see how crazy he is, what an invincible person.

Lucy wondered, "The Supreme Sect is indeed at odds with us, but we shouldn't dare to attack Bishop Aegrus. ”

The opposition between the Dark Curia and the Supreme Cult on good and evil doomed the two sides to become enemies, but the Dark Curia did not think that a strong conflict would happen so quickly.

For the Dark Holy See, which has just gained a foothold in the Gray Forbidden Zone, their top priority is to develop at a high speed and strengthen the Holy See's Liliang, and the reason why the Supreme Sect did not fire on the Dark Holy See is because of the coercion of the Rebirth Sect.

The same is a cult, but the Rebirth Sect and the Supreme Sect are not allies, located between the two major sects in the east and the middle, there is also a contradiction, this contradiction with the rebirth of the sect leader Fae took office, the ambition of the Rebirth Sect has been greatly expanded and intensified, the Supreme Sect Leader Dugu Rebellious Sky is also a big man who can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, he has always been very angry about the rapid expansion of the Rebirth Teaching and Research after issuing a new generation of rebirth marks, and the conflicts between the two religions are also constant, so Dugu Rebellious Heaven has no reason to start a war with the Dark Holy See, so that the Rebirth Sect has a chance, and the Rebirth Sect also holds the same idea, so they are opposed to the Dark Holy See, and they have been holding back.

Now, the Supreme Sect has killed Egrus, which is not a skirmish, it is equivalent to directly declaring war on the Dark Church.

Could it be that they are not afraid of breaking the current balance, so that the Rebirth Sect can reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Seeing what Lucy was thinking, Vieri said again: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I know that you must have some doubts in your heart, but in the past few days that you have been away from the Holy See, the situation has changed a little, and we have recently gotten rumors that the Reborn Sect Leader Fae and the Supreme Sect Master Dugu Jizun had a secret meeting, and the content of the secret meeting is unknown, but these two people have always been incompatible, but they have met together, which shows that they are likely to want to put aside their grievances with each other and join forces to deal with us first!"

Vieri nodded and said, "That's right, our Dark Holy See has developed too fast in the past few years, whether it is the Supreme Sect or the Rebirth Sect, they may both think that the threat to them from the Dark Holy See is greater than that of the other party, so they may reach an agreement to deal with the Holy See first." It's a pity that we didn't have time to alert the high-ranking guys who were out there, and these damn guys took action!"

Lucy's face changed again, if the speculation of Terrance and the others is true, then there may be a conspiracy behind it that is very unfavorable to the Holy See.

Terrance clenched his fists and said: "The victimization of Bishop Egrus is just a prelude, once the Supreme Sect and the Regeneration Sect are united, they will definitely have a greater follow-up, for this reason we have summoned all the bishops back to discuss how to deal with it, in addition, I think there is one thing that is also imperative!"

Lucy subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Terrance said word by word: "Elect ...... New Pope!"
