"This is the Dark Space, the Human Body Blessing Formation!" Lucy explained, "It has one of the uses of the Dark Realm, which is to isolate the rebirth imprint on your body and the induction of the rebirth teaching. ”

The secret technique of the Dark Holy See is really strange enough, it can have such an effect, Ye Ling couldn't help but be amazed, but at the same time he said a little depressedly: "Since you have this method that can isolate the brand of rebirth, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help, Weishenme wants to trick me into returning to the Holy See?"

"Stupid, I didn't lie to you," Lucy scolded angrily: "That's right, the dark space can protect you from being hunted down by the Rebirth Sect, but its effect is temporary, and it can only last for a few hours at most, if you leave me, you can't add a second one in time, it's still a dead end!"

"Oh, so that's the case!" Ye Ling touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I blame you." ”

Lucy gave him another blank look: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, come with me!"

After that, her figure disappeared again, it seemed that this was not her destination, so Ye Ling had no choice but to continue to follow her, flying at full speed for at least twenty minutes, it was already far away from the Holy See headquarters, and when she reached the side of a lake, Lucy stopped and reappeared.

The lake is beautiful, the water is clear and clear, and there are a large number of white lotuses floating on the water, which is a plant that can float on the water and survive without being rooted in the soil, and it is like a natural boat that moves with the breeze.

Jumping into a white giant lotus, Lucy beckoned to Ye Ling and said, "Come here." ”

Ye Ling thought for a moment and jumped up as well, the space inside this giant lotus was very spacious, enough to accommodate several people, but it didn't look embarrassing.

This natural boat is interesting because it is made up of flower petals and exudes a faint, refreshing fragrance.

I have to say that this is really a good place with elegant scenery, relaxed atmosphere and good for leisure.

It's just that what makes Ye Ling wonder is how Lucy could suddenly be so idle...... Oh no, it should be boring to be idle and come here to play by yourself.

Lucy was a little dark, and the white giant lotus floated towards the center of the lake, there were many giant lotuses on the water surface, and each one was very large, after penetrating it, no one could find the existence of the two in the vast sea of flowers, as if they had come to an unknown private world.

The rhythm in the gray forbidden area is busy and tense, because there are too many deadly challenges here, so that Ye Ling is always tense, but in this flower lake, his mood also relaxed all of a sudden, leaning on a petal opposite Lucy, leisurely cocking Erlang's legs, Ye Ling praised: "This place is really good, how did you find it?"

Lucy smiled and said, "Actually, before the establishment of Turin City, this lake existed here, and I liked it quite much, so I asked the people of the city planning department not to destroy it, and named it Qingxin Lake." When I'm not in a good mood, I come over and take a break. ”

"Pure Heart Lake......" Ye Ling whispered twice, and then: "The lake is as its name suggests, pure heart, away from strife, very good, very good! It's just that, Miss Lucy, it seems that now is not the time for you to put down your mundane affairs, I heard that the new pope election of your Holy See will be held in a week, this is a grand event, but you are indispensable!"

"I hope I don't care about anything, at least not for now!" Lucy was half-lying on the white petals, at this time she finally looked like she was no longer the omnipotent Dark Celestial Maiden, but a weak woman, which made Ye Ling faintly feel that the new pope's choice of the Dark Church may hide an unknown contradiction, and it was this that made Lucy very unusual.

Brushing her sideburns, which were scattered by the breeze, Lucy said casually: "Hey, little fool, let me ask you a question, if you were me, between loyalty to the Pope and the Holy See, if you can't have both, what would you choose?"

"Pope?" Ye Ling was puzzled: "Isn't your new pope not elected yet, why can't you be loyal to him and the Holy See?" Oh, you are worried about Vivian's affairs, for fear that the archbishop will really fulfill his wish, don't worry, even if that archbishop becomes the pope, he can't do anything wrong, isn't the pope also under the supervision of you and the bishops, if it messes around, other high-level officials will naturally come forward to abolish him. ”

"Not Archbishop Vieri, but the last Pope, the one who revived our Dark See. Referring to the sixteenth generation of popes, Lucy's eyes were full of reverence: "He is a great, incredible leader, the eight archbishops of the Holy See, as well as many high-ranking people, were personally cultivated by him, and the rapid development of the Holy See to its present size is also largely due to the guidance of his grand vision." ”

"Oh, the last Pope?" Ye Ling became a little interested: "According to what you say, he is indeed very great, and he is also the most suitable to lead the Dark Holy See, but this Pope Weishenme has left?"

Lucy sighed and said: "He left on his own initiative, many years ago, no one knows the reason, including the Dark Celestial Maiden of the previous generation, and all the archbishops, this is a mystery in the Dark Church." ”

Ye Ling asked, "Then what does this have to do with your current troubles?"

"I can only tell you that the election of the new pope is now in some conflict with the wishes of the previous pope, and it is also created by the people he has personally cultivated, but it may be beneficial for the future of the Holy See. Lucy had already revealed a lot of secrets of the Dark Church, and she still had to keep some key things, but she just expressed the meaning tactfully: "What would you do if it were yours?"

Ye Ling pondered for a moment: "If the former pope is really as wise as you said, his will should also be reasonable, but, you also said, the former pope has been away for many years, and the situation of this shijie is changing every day, maybe his will is no longer suitable for the current era." In any case, the Pope is only an individual, he only leads and serves the Holy See, and the Holy See is collective, and in my opinion, the individual has to be subservient to the collective, no matter what. Objectively speaking, the emergence of a new pope is beneficial to your Holy See, after all, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the church cannot be without a pope!"

"Do you think so," Lucy said in annoyance, "am I wrong?"

"I don't know if you're right or wrong, this is an internal matter of your sect," Ye Ling snorted, and then said: "As for personally, I don't want that archbishop to be the new pope, it seems that many people say how good he is, but he can't even control his own grandson, a competent grandfather is not counted, I don't think he can really manage the Holy See well." Lucy, if you go to run for the Pope, I will raise my hands to support it, but unfortunately I don't have the right to vote!"

Lucy laughed, noncommittal: "If you were me, would you run for the new pope?"

"NONONO!" Ye Ling shook his head violently without thinking about it: "Don't always compare me with you, everyone's personality and pursuit are different, I am the kind of person who likes to live a free and adventurous life, and I have no interest in the Pope's divine horse, if I really sit in this position, tsk, I deal with so many official duties every day, and I can't go anywhere casually, then I might as well kill me with a knife!"

Lucy smiled dumbly and said: "Is it that sitting in the position of the Pope is similar to going to prison, you must know how many people want to become the master of our dark Holy See, and from now on stand at the peak of this shijie, calling for wind and rain." ”

"For me, it's almost like going to prison, no matter how much power you have, it's not as good as freedom," Ye Ling chanted casually on a whim: "Life is precious, aiqing is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away!"

Lucy asked, her memory was quite good, and she immediately followed and chanted: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be very talented, but I don't understand, freedom is really that important?"

She is a person who has been designated as the heiress of the dark sky since she was a child, and she has never known what it is like to be free, for her, the affairs of the dark church are all she has, and she will never do it if Lucy leaves other things to be free.

Ye Ling smiled: "You won't understand, think about it, many birds that have been caught, they are kept in captivity in gorgeous cages, and they no longer have to work hard to forage everywhere, but they would rather hit the cage until they die, because no matter how superior the conditions, they can't compare to the boundless blue sky that allows them to soar." ”

Lucy thoughtfully: "Well, you have a point, I have never considered this kind of problem from any other angle. ”

The two chatted and chatted, the topic gradually diverged from the Holy See to other things, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed, Lucy's frowning willow eyebrows also stretched unconsciously, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and it began to descend from the middle of the sky, but it was the second half of the night.

"Oops, it's so late!" Lucy, who noticed it, quickly stood up: "The duration of the dark space's effectiveness is almost over, we have to go back, hey, thank you for staying with me for so long tonight!"

Although Ye Ling didn't give any advice on building Xing, and later talked about some irrelevant topics, Lucy always felt much more comfortable.

Ye Ling also stood up and said, "It should be that I thank you for taking me in, a poor person who will be cut by the thugs with a kitchen knife wherever I go." ”

"Gangsters?" Lucy smiled again: "Okay, if the Rebirth Sect can only be regarded as a gangster, then most of the gangs in the gray forbidden area are paper tigers, and your tone is really not small, have you completely forgotten how you were cut into meat sauce by a kitchen knife that day?"

"How could I forget, it's because I'm scared that I have to comfort myself so much, but fortunately, now that I have a personal bodyguard by my side, I don't have to worry too much for the time being. ”

"Go, who's your personal bodyguard, go die!"

“......”

The night was thick, and the dark Holy See was somewhere.

The headquarters of the Holy See during the day is always shrouded in a hazy veil under the shroud of the dark realm, and it is even more secluded in the middle of the night.

However, a ghostly figure was still moving in some antique mansion, he was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and his black robes were different from ordinary priests and priests, and his style was unique to the Holy See, and it was actually the black-clad Archbishop Vieri.

He hadn't slept so late, because he was waiting for someone.

Before the man returned, Vieri kept walking, his face was grim, and at this moment he was thinking about something in his heart.

I didn't expect Lucy to come to such a hand.

Female candidates, damn female candidates!

If Lucy hadn't proposed to repeal the ban on women running for pope, he would have no rival in the Dark See, and becoming pope was just around the corner!

And now, the outcome is unpredictable.

Vieri believed that his prestige, ability, status, and seniority in the Holy See would be enough to win the votes of countless congregational votes.

It's just that the Dark Celestial Maiden is also the image spokesperson of the Holy See, and the Holy See deliberately created this perfect woman, which makes Lucy's status in the hearts of all the cultists also lofty and transcendent, which is enough to bring a huge threat to Vieri, and he has to scruple and admit that his dream may be in vain.

Overall, Vieri thinks his odds are still higher, probably the best compared to Lucy.

A slight advantage is not enough, Vieri cannot tolerate his odds of winning below ninety-ninety-nine, what he needs is "inevitable", not "very likely", he has been waiting for this day for many years, and there is absolutely no room for error!

There are still some days before the general election, if she can find a haode opportunity to make her status in the eyes of the church plummet, then her position will be certain.

However, this is not an easy task, and it takes a good chance to make Lucy lose the trust of the heavier ones.

The person who sent the follower has been gone for so long, so he must be back soon.

While he was thinking, Vieri suddenly realized, came back to his senses, looked at the darkness in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"

A shadow flashed out of the thick night, came to Vieri, and was about to salute, Vieri waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, tell me what you have found." ”
