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

"So the way to select the successor to the Pope is to have us fight?" Nellie asked late at night, sitting on her bed after a day of parades.

"Yes, considering that you are a priest of the mercy route, you can choose a reliable servant to be your duel agent and fight for you." Weiguang answered with her head down, watching her mouth and nose and her heart, making it difficult to see her expression.

Nellie takes the compassionate route. After all, she is just a nurse. You can't let the support go up and fight with others face to face.

Professionals in the Holy See generally have two routes to choose from. One is the mercy route, which uses divine power to heal and protect teammates and then buff them. The other is the punishment route, which uses physical power to influence the cultists. Nellie is a typical priest of the mercy route, and the other three competing saints all choose the punishment route.

"According to the principle of fairness, the highest rank of the servant you can choose cannot exceed the gold rank. Coincidentally, I happen to be a gold rank punishment knight." Wei Guang turned his body to the side, revealing the scabbard on his waist and saluted slightly.

"......" Nelly didn't say anything.

Weiguang also raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet Nellie's gaze which was fixed on her.

......

"I say, do you and the master think I'm a fool?" Nellie said faintly. It was already night, her long golden hair was loose, her eyes were bright, and you could see the resentful light projected from below.

Wei Guang did not speak, but continued to speak: "Tomorrow there will be four saints, including you, who will participate in the Pope's successor ceremony, but your opponents tomorrow should actually be only two, and there is another saint who you can consider as your own."

There was a gust of cool air. The evening breeze in September was not very warm, and it might feel a bit cold when blowing on people. Weiguang walked to the window and closed it, then picked up some materials that had been placed on the desk at some point and began to introduce them to Nelly.

"Hey, hey, stop talking to yourself." Nellie said dissatisfiedly.

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

The selection of candidates for the Pope was still scheduled to take place on the Holy Mountain the next day.

This is the place of trial on the Holy Mountain. Compared with other places in the world, the Holy See emphasizes absolute procedural justice. Except for those who are unforgivable and will be executed directly, most criminals will face their own trials here, and the court of the Holy See will state their crimes. If the criminal is wronged or dissatisfied, he can also apply for a trial duel and use the sword in his hand to express his needs.

Of course, if you ask for a trial duel, you will be facing a Punishment Knight who is at least epic and experienced in battle. Because you are guilty, the Knight's innate favorability towards you is negative, and he may draw his sword and torture you to death with extreme disgust, so you still need to be cautious in a duel.

The news that came out yesterday was so explosive that the attention of the whole world was drawn here.

The Ornn Empire, the Demon Continent, the Orcs, the Elves, and the Dwarves all sent representatives to watch the ceremony.

The place of judgment as a whole is like a huge theater stage. In order to show the fairness and justice of the trial to all believers, countless stands are built around it where believers can watch the trial.

There is a specially opened platform in the middle of the seats around, where people from various forces can watch the ceremony. The archbishops of the Vatican sit on the higher stands.

There were countless people coming to watch the selection. You could just sit on a small stool and sell melon seeds, soda, etc. in the front row, and you could definitely make a lot of money.

A crocodile who was over four meters tall and had muscular body was sitting on the platform in the middle and looking down. Because he was too tall, there was no chair for him to sit on, so he had to sit cross-legged on the ground and put his tail under his butt. The Kingdom of the Holy See and Aoun were both races with humans as the main ethnic group.

"Where are they? Today's contestants." He spoke in a muffled voice, with a fierce gleam in his eyes as big as fists.

"Over there." The fox-man with two white fox ears pursed his lips. The crocodile named Clayton looked in the direction he pointed and saw the stands where the archbishops were.

"That bald human muscle guy over there is one of the Holy Sons, called 'Zhi'. He is said to be an Ascetic in the Punishment Route."

Looking in that direction, I saw a big, shiny bald head reflecting white light under the sun, wearing a loose white robe that revealed his strong chest and abdominal muscles. On his head was a laurel wreath that symbolized his status as the Son of God.

Clayton narrowed his eyes. There were two archbishops standing on the stands. One of them seemed to be named Hou Mo, an archbishop with very little information about him, and the other was a female archbishop with a very charming appearance.

"That woman doesn't seem to be a pure human being." Clayton sniffed.

"You can smell it from such a distance?" The fox man Hake at the side looked sideways. There were probably more than ten thousand people here, and the mixture of smells was unimaginable, not to mention that they were hundreds of meters away from there.

"That woman has a magic pattern on her neck, idiot." Clayton glanced at the fox man with contempt in his eyes.

The fox man did not look embarrassed, and continued, "That woman is also one of the new archbishops who took office in the past two years. Her name is only Mei. She is a mixed-race, said to be a mixture of human, demon, and orc."

The fox frowned and said, "There is no relevant information. For some reason, the bishops and above in the Holy See have changed frequently in the past two years. Nearly one-third of the archbishops have been replaced in the past two years."

"That muscle guy, Saint Son, looks very strong." Clayton blinked his eyes: "I want to have a muscle clash with him."

"According to the information we have collected, that person should be of the Gold Rank, born in the Inquisition, and was accepted as a disciple by the Bishop named Mei because of his military exploits."

While the two were chatting, another person came up to the stands. He was a handsome black-haired man wearing a white robe commonly seen on priests. He had a smile on his face and had no obvious features.

"Look, the one who just walked up is the disciple of Archbishop Houmo. There is no detailed information about him. We only know that his name is Feilin." A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed on the fox man's hand. He reached out and took down the small bamboo tube tied to his leg, and then took out a small note from it.

"Oh, wait, there's more news." Unfolding the note, the fox man read: "Holy Son Feilin, is he suspected to be the legendary Faceless Man?"

After Huck finished reading, he looked up at the stands again, only to find that the Son of God named Feilin in the stands seemed to be looking at him, but his squinting eyes made it uncertain whether he was looking in this direction.

The fox man smiled awkwardly, but found that the saint named Feilin tilted his head slightly and showed a warm smile. He was really looking here! For some reason, the smile that seemed very warm to others made him break into a cold sweat.

"What about the other two saints?" Clayton asked. Huck withdrew his gaze and hid next to the crocodile brothers next to him without leaving a trace, trying to use his huge body to block the view from the stands.

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

The other two saints were also on a stand somewhere.

The big muscle tyrant sat in the stands and asked Nellie next to him, "How was your rest yesterday?"

"It's okay." Nellie nodded.

Since she returned to the Holy Mountain after her adventure, the girl named Wei Guang has been taking care of her daily life. She was carrying a token from her master, and she thought she could be trusted, but it seems that she and her master are hiding something from her.

Where is the master? Why hasn't he shown his face since he came back from the adventure? What's the matter with Wei Guang? She claims to be his prospective junior sister, and as long as she passes the assessment, she can be accepted as a disciple by the master. Last night's confession, her strength happened to be stuck at the gold level, and the level limit of her duel agent happened to be the gold level. Is it really such a coincidence?

Weiguang was standing behind her at this time, with her short hair tied up, standing behind Nellie without saying a word.

"Your master hasn't shown up yet?" Kane asked.

Nellie shook her head: "No, I haven't even seen a letter."

There was another person in the stands at this time, she was the other saint among the four.

She was wearing simple light armor, and her short silver hair was only a few inches long. If she didn't have an Adam's apple, she might be considered a melancholy handsome man. According to Wei Guang's introduction last night, she was a disciple of Archbishop Kane, named Finn. She sat aside without saying a word, holding a silver sword in her arms and closing her eyes to rest.

The rules of the game are very simple, just go up and fight, and whoever can fight to the end is the winner.

"Since Finn will also be on the field soon, I won't introduce you two to each other." Kane crossed his arms and said, "We'll talk about everything after you two finish fighting. So, have you chosen your duel agent?"

"I've chosen it." Nellie nodded and glanced at the faint light beside her.

"Is that so?" Kane nodded. He could see that although the little girl standing next to him was only about fifteen years old, her internal strength had reached the golden level. Nelly's master died somewhere, but he would not be so indifferent to the selection of the candidate for Pope, so this was the backup plan she prepared for Nelly?

After a while, the sun was shining directly on the Place of Judgment, making the bricks and stones on the ground look like gold.

Kane took a step forward and his figure instantly appeared above the venue.

"Silence." He glanced at the people in the audience, then turned his gaze to the other archbishops.

"The candidate for the Pope will be elected from among the four saints. The Pope is the one holding the lantern. This ceremony will be kept simple. The one with greater strength will naturally be the most suitable person. Since Saint Nellie is not a punisher, after our discussion and decision, we will allow her to choose a duel agent to fight in her place."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience. I thought the selection of the Pope's candidate would be absolutely fair, but the saint named Nellie allowed someone to fight on her behalf. What else could this be but a shady plot?

"A dark conspiracy!" someone in the audience shouted, "The pope's election should be fair!"

Some goblins mixed in the crowd and tried to add fuel to the fire, and they also shouted, "Fair!" Although these little creatures are timid and fearful, the joy of adding fuel to the fire is deeply engraved in their bones.

"Quiet." A knight in the stands said in a flat tone. He just took a look and all the little guys shut their mouths.

The man who was shouting was quickly taken away by the knights who were maintaining order, but the noise from the surrounding stands gradually became noisier.

"Silence! Knights, maintain order!" Kane ignored the discussions in the audience and said, "The time is up. The four candidates or duel agents must enter the venue immediately. All bishops, please arrive at the magic output nodes and prepare to build a defensive barrier."

"Go with the will of the God of Light." Archbishop Houmo said so in the stands. He patted his disciple on the shoulder, and the latter stood up and jumped towards the place of judgment in the middle.

The muscular bald guy had already started. Without saying a word, he rushed to the field like a cannonball and crashed into the center of the field. The saint named Fen also appeared on the stage in a flash.

Nellie was wearing casual clothes today, with leather armor on to facilitate movement.

"Make way, make way." She walked down from the stands. Since there were quite a lot of people coming to watch the candidate for Pope today, the seats were full and the aisles were also full of people.

When they heard Nellie's voice and looked back, they all made way after discovering the laurel wreath on her head that symbolized her status as a saint.

The crowd parted like a tide after reminding each other, and Nelly walked down the stands step by step and walked to the arena in the middle.

"Saint Nellie, where is your duel agent? Please let her go on the field quickly." Kane frowned and said to Nellie who was holding a magic wand below.

"I'll do it." Nellie shook her head and said.

"Are you sure?" Kane asked again, implying that you should quickly send your agent to the field.

The difference between the mercy route and the punishment route is quite large. The magic power of the priests who take the mercy route will gradually turn into another form called holy power through training. This power is quite gentle, and it is more effective to use it to release buff or recovery magic, but it is probably not even half as powerful as the lethal divine power.

"I'm sure." Nellie replied again. She took out a rubber band from her pocket, clamped the staff in her hand under her armpits, and began to tie up her hair.

"Respect your choice." Kane has asked several times, and even if he is biased, it cannot be too obvious.

Those who were shouting about the inside story on the stage also quieted down after seeing this.

"I admire your courage." The man named Feilin took out a dagger from his waist and said, still with a smiling expression.

"I will be gentler later, for the sake of our future friendship, right? "

The muscular bald guy didn't say anything, but nodded.

The girl named Fen just pulled out the sword. She couldn't understand why Nellie made such an unwise choice, but it had nothing to do with her. She originally thought that she could let the girl named Weiguang deal with one of the two men to relieve the pressure, but now it seems that is not possible.

After the game starts, the first thing the two opponents will do is to get rid of this person called Nellie. In the subsequent battle with the two opponents, I am sure that I will be targeted more, but it doesn’t matter. I just need to believe in my sword. Fen thought so. She had no idea what she would face later.

That's Nellie, who is extremely angry.

Nellie is very unhappy now. When she returned from Tulong, she was not welcomed by her master, but was schemed against by him. It seemed that he wanted her to succeed the Pope, but he didn't ask her if she wanted to. Weiguang was also in the same group with her master.

I don't want you to play for me.

You three gold-level players, what's with your expressions? You three are looking at me together. Do you think I'm a soft persimmon that's easy to bully? I'm someone who has half a foot into the legend level. Even though I'm just a support, I'm still someone you need to look up to. Why do you look at me like this?

"Begin!" As Archbishop Cain announced in the air, the angels made of elements blew the holy trumpet.

"Om~"

The Faceless One is an ancient profession of the Inquisition, considered an assassin profession, using two daggers. His body shook, and his clothes burst open. This muscular big light bulb is over two meters and five meters tall. The Ascetic is focused on honing his strong body, and at this time, his clothes burst open.

Finn did not attack Nelly, but rushed towards Felin. This was the best plan she could come up with. Let the muscular man eliminate Nelly. It was already the most she could do to help her tie up one of them.

"Boom!" A huge noise suddenly rang out, and a strong divine power fluctuation came from the direction of Nellie, with a dazzling white light flashing.

【Physical fitness exercises】Improve your physical fitness.

[Holy Armor] Adds a layer of armor made of light elements to the surface of the body.

[Holy Flame] Adds holy flames to your attacks.

The epic-level divine spell [Body of Archangel] greatly improves magic power, physical fitness, and mental strength, and allows the use of some angelic divine spells.

[Eyes of Aurora] can resist all illusions and make all invisibility invisible.

......

A full forty-five buff magics bloomed on Nellie's body, and the shining light was brighter than the scorching sun in the sky. The three people on the field were stunned at this time. What level of fluctuation was this? Was it a real angel of light?

Nellie twisted her staff and opened the small mechanism on it. The staff split into two parts, connected by an iron chain. The magic gem on it was bigger than a fist, and the staff turned into a flail.

As Nellie swung the flail, it began to spin and created gusts of wind, even blowing the three people on the stage off balance.

If everyone is like this, I’ll beat you to death.

Who said that a magic wand can’t hurt things?
