The team is full of girls who are single until retirement based on their strength

This is the center of the Vatican, the gathering place of faith, and the City of the Holy Spirit.

It has been a long time since she was separated from her teammates. Nellie was lying on her bed, her white and tender feet swaying in the air, her toes moving.

I wonder how Caesar and the others are doing now? Do they miss me?

The sun was shining in through the window, but Nellie didn't want to get up yet. She buried her head in the pillow.

Well, sleep a little longer.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door. I didn't want to answer it, but that wasn't an option. I had something important to do today.

"Your Highness Nellie? Your Highness Nellie? I'm coming in?" The girl's voice came from outside the door. Nellie wanted to bury her head in the pillow like an ostrich, but her junior was waiting for her at the door, and she couldn't let her see her lazy side. Nellie struggled to get up from the bed, sat on the bed and said:

"Enter."

The sunlight shone in from the window. A beautiful girl was sitting on the edge of the bed with her long hair spread out like golden threads.

There was a gentle expression on her face. She had never washed or dressed up, but her bare face revealed a sacred and breathtaking beauty.

Her delicate facial features seemed like a creation of God. Perhaps because she had just woken up, she looked a little fragile, making people want to hold her in their hands and protect her. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window, she must be thinking about something very important.

This was the scene that the girl named Weiguang saw when she opened Nellie's door.

Weiguang was holding a basin of water and a towel in her hands. She was assigned to take care of the current legend of the Holy See, the current saint, a powerful person who had one foot into the legendary level and a super figure who killed the Khorne legend - the Dragon of Destruction, who had been threatening the border of Ornn.

"Thank you for your help." Nellie smiled, her words as gentle as the spring breeze.

Wow, is this Senior Nellie? Wei Guang kept screaming in her heart, so beautiful.

Nellie wet the towel, washed up, and put on the complicated saint costume with the help of Weiguang. The decorations on her head alone weighed two kilograms. They fixed Nellie's hair on her head. If it weren't for the training of her adventurous life, the old Nellie would have found it difficult to stand up with all these things.

The outermost part was a golden shawl, which was buttoned at the back, and Weiguang helped her button it up. She could even appreciate the smooth back of the Saint's neck. The clothes she was wearing were also quite complicated, with different ways to wear the lining and outer garment. If Nellie had done it by herself, it would probably take a long time, but with Weiguang's help, she was able to put it on easily in about five minutes.

The gorgeous long dress she is wearing is painted with flowers, angels and swords. It is the dress of the Holy Virgin of the Vatican. Today's plan is to receive the Pope's commendation and the prayers of devout believers.

When I came out of the back door of the monastery, there was already a carriage waiting outside the door. This carriage would take the saint to the Holy Mountain. After receiving the Pope's commendation for her dragon-slaying achievement in the Gaia Cathedral on the top of the Holy Mountain, she would ride on a float down from the Holy Mountain to accept flowers from the people.

The carriage outside the door was decorated ornately, and the body was made of blazing copper, a precious magical material, with some parts covered in pure gold. There were reliefs of angels holding swords guarding the surroundings, and lightning flashed on the wheels. The carriage was pulled by two noble unicorns, whose golden manes looked like a ball of flames. The Vatican used epic-level magic beasts to pull the carriage, and this carriage alone was worth a fortune.

Because Nellie's skirt was very long, Weiguang had to hold up the hem of her skirt with her hands behind her to prevent it from touching the ground.

The carriage started off, and believers saw it and spontaneously cheered and saw it off on both sides of the road.

It is worth mentioning that although it is the Holy See, it does not believe in any specific gods. It only believes in light itself, and there is no specific god of light. The dogma of the Holy See is to love life, resist evil, and strive for progress. Everything that requires you to offer the power of faith to protect you is defined as an evil god or demon in the Holy See's definition.

The first pope who founded the Holy See once said: "There has never been any angel or god, nor do we rely on any creator. To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves!"

After hearing this, Caesar was impressed by the high level of ideological awareness of the first Pope, who had already broken through the mental cage set up by the free creatures in the spiritual world when they preached on the mainland.

The Gaia Cathedral was built by the Vatican itself. With the blessing of divine power, the church was built in an extremely magnificent manner. The church is 177 meters high and 341 meters long, and can accommodate more than people. The whole church is made of white marble. It is a dome-shaped building with colored glass modified in specific positions, which can reflect beautiful patterns under the sunlight.

Arriving at the church in advance, many bishops and other figures had already arrived, and Nellie just had to enter on time. After Nellie entered the church, various people kept coming to greet her. Although she had experienced many adventures, Nellie herself rarely experienced such scenes. Her master was only an archbishop, which was already a very high position in the church, but in a short period of time, several people wearing white robes and red holy belts hanging from their necks came to greet her. Although she didn't know them, she still recognized the archbishop's clothing.

Fortunately, with Wei Guang's help, Nellie was able to barely cope with it. Those who could be here were at least bishops. There were about forty people on the scene, including eight archbishops, five men and three women.

Archbishops rarely gather in the Holy Mountain. They are responsible for their own cities. In the Vatican, the duties of the archbishop in the city he is responsible for are basically the same as those of the city lord. This time, they all returned to the Holy Mountain from different places for Nellie's commendation, which shows the importance the Vatican attaches to this matter.

At this time, the oldest Archbishop Kane asked Nellie, "When did you come back?"

"Half a month ago." Nellie quickly replied. Of all the archbishops, she only knew Archbishop Kane in front of her, because he was a believer of Master Nellie and could be said to have watched her grow up.

Bishop Kane looked the oldest among the few people, with a face full of wrinkles and six crisscross scars all over his face, the intersection of the scars was in his left eye socket. He was over two meters tall, with explosive muscles that seemed to be about to burst the archbishop's uniform. If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, he would look more like a gangster from somewhere, with a red ceremonial robe draped behind him like his cloak.

At this time, Bishop Kane used his only remaining eye to look at Nellie in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you seem to be full of energy and spirit. It seems that you have gained a lot in the past few years outside."

"My teammates taught me a lot." Nellie nodded in response.

"Your teammates have certainly taught you a lot." A male voice came from the side: "The title of Dragon Slayer is draped on you, and you can gain a lot more."

The speaker was a thin man, also wearing a red bishop's robe: "The glory of the dragon's blood only falls on you and your teammates. Don't forget the church that raised you."

His words sounded a bit harsh and malicious. Nellie had never met this man before and didn't know why he said that.

"I have never forgotten the help the Holy See has given me." This was the only answer Nellie could give.

The faint light behind him whispered through magic: "This is Archbishop Houmo."

It was a name she had never heard of before. Nellie had some doubts in her mind.

"You should watch your words, Archbishop Houmo." Kane said with a frown.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, but fortunately a female archbishop stepped forward, reached out and grasped Nellie's hand and raised it up: "Good child, you must have suffered a lot during these days outside."

Nelly didn't recognize the bishop in front of her, who looked like a middle-aged woman in her 40s or 50s. Fortunately, the faint light behind her reminded her, "This is Archbishop Mina, the archbishop in charge of the City of the Holy Spirit."

She looked very kind and gentle: "Your hands are covered with traces of frost."

"It's okay." Nellie said this, and the atmosphere on the scene returned to calm after a brief awkward moment. Several other archbishops also came forward to talk and express their concern. Only Archbishop Houmo and another female archbishop did not come over, but walked away together.

After some greetings and introductions, everyone dispersed. They still had to complete the tasks they would be commended for later. Only Archbishop Kane remained at the scene.

"Where is your master?" Kane asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen her since I came back." Nellie was also a little puzzled. It was her master's arrangement that asked her to slay the dragon. She thought it was impossible to accomplish, but she didn't expect that she could really do it. When she set out, she was only at the Silver Rank. As a result, a few years later, she returned to the Church with not only herself but also the head of the Dragon of Destruction. It was incredible to think about it.

When he wanted to share the joy of returning home in glory with his master, he couldn't find his master.

"Haven't you seen me today?" Kane frowned, and the scars on his face changed with his expression. Today was a very important day, but she didn't show up even at this time. Why?

"No." Nellie shook her head.

"Do you know what's going to happen later?" Kane continued.

Nellie still had a confused expression on her face: "What's the matter?"

"Your master is really something. He didn't even tell you this." The big muscle master looked a little dissatisfied: "What an irresponsible master."

Nelly didn't know what to say about Kane's evaluation of her master. After all, they were both her elders, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"According to the news I received, the Pope is thinking of selecting a successor to the Pope." Kane said, "It should be today."

"In the two years that you were away from the Holy See, the Holy See selected two saints and one saint. Plus, you were also named a saint after you slayed the dragon. So the one selected should be among the four of you," said Kane.

"One of the saints is the disciple of Hou Mo just now."

"Selecting the successor to the Pope? Why is such an important matter being handled in such a hurry?" asked Nelly.

"I'm not sure either." Archbishop Kane said, "I received this news half a month ago, which is around the time you came back. Since the news was kept secret, not many people knew about it. Your master should have known about it, but I don't know why she didn't tell you."

Archbishop Kane has left, and time is running out, so Nellie also has to prepare for the next commendation ceremony.

She wondered why her master didn't tell her such an important thing.

--------------------------------------

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Gaia Cathedral opened and people began to enter, entering under the arrangement of priests and nuns.

There were salutes roaring outside the church. For today's commendation, the Vatican mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources within a week. The entire Holy Spirit City has a population of over 10 million, and there are many things to consider when holding such a ceremony here.

Since her teammates were not here, only Nellie was awarded for slaying the dragon. The fall of a legendary dragon was a world-shaking event, and the dragon's corpse was a fortune that could shock the entire continent. A band was playing outside the church, and melodious music was heard. Griffins and chimeras were flying over Gaia Church, and petals were falling from the baskets in their hands.

Yates Bert was an ordinary believer. A week ago, a monk came to his house and invited him to attend the commendation ceremony. Legend has it that a saint who had never been seen by anyone killed a dragon that had done many evil things in the distant Orn Empire. As a devout believer of light, he naturally wanted to come and see the saint, and he also heard that the Pope would also appear.

He got up early this morning and headed for the Holy Mountain. He was very lucky because most of the other people could only pray and wait outside the Gaia Cathedral, but he could go to the Gaien Cathedral to watch the Pope's investiture up close.

The road leading to the holy mountain is already crowded with people on both sides. Soon the saint will ride on a float from the church and come down this road.

Thanks to the Holy See's continuous assistance to church believers and the protection of people's lives and property in times of disasters, the believers are quite welcoming to the Holy See.

Chimeras, griffins, elemental elves, unicorns and other creatures that are rarely seen on ordinary days are everywhere today, flying in the sky.

After waiting outside until ten o'clock, we were finally allowed to enter. A band was playing, and people began to slowly enter the venue under the order maintained by the Vatican knights.

Guyon Cathedral is rarely open to the outside world. It is usually only open to the public on special occasions, such as festivals or major events. He was lucky to have a seat in the middle, so he could see the surroundings clearly.

There were high stands around the church, where the archbishops stayed. There were people on seven stands, seven archbishops, which was a rare situation. The archbishops had very important responsibilities, and they would not come back unless it was something very important. Even the canonization ceremony of the Son of God or the Saint would only have one or two archbishops at most. But now there were seven archbishops, and many bishops were sitting here like him.

The success of the dragon slaying by the Saint was announced only seven days ago. The fall of the legendary dragon was totally worth the return of so many people. Dragons are creatures of the same level with extraordinary combat power. To defeat a legendary dragon, at least three humans of the same level must fight. It is even more difficult to kill it. If the announcement had not been made too hastily, Yates Burt believed that even more archbishops would have returned.

Angels formed by light elements appeared in the air. They were the bishops in the stands releasing blessings. The angels with white wings shook their feathers towards the audience, shedding light that had the function of eliminating diseases and repairing the body.

There were bursts of exclamations from the believers. This kind of scene is rare.

An archbishop walked from the back of the church to the heaven in the middle, and an elemental spirit flew in front of him and cast a sound amplification magic.

Bert recognized this archbishop. He was originally a punisher from the Inquisition, and later became the successor archbishop after his retirement. Including this archbishop, there are now eight archbishops.
