The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The Holy See, which has always claimed to be the guardian of the Statu Continent, reacted quickly after the darkness took away the peace of the Statu Continent for thousands of years. The Bright Knights in the territory escorted the Bright Priests to various countries for support.

Although the darkness has come, the light is still unstoppable.

The number of casualties in various countries gradually eased after the Holy See was dispatched. Some small and medium-sized countries that did not establish the Holy See in their countries discovered the role of the Holy See and hurriedly sent envoys to ask for assistance.

The coming of darkness unexpectedly let the world know the indispensability of the Holy See in the continent of Statu, the reputation of the Holy See has not decreased but increased, and even some nobles who are hostile to theocracy and think that it has exploited their rights and status have honestly shut up .

After all, rights are more important than one's own life.

Without the Holy See to deal with the dark forces, human beings can only watch the land of Sistatu fall.

Although the Holy See directly controlled the collapse of the situation, the dark formation still exists. All countries, including the three empires, are waiting for the Holy See's next move. Completely expelled from the Star map continent.

However, what is surprising is that the Holy See has not taken the next step for some reason.

Compared with the hell on earth outside, the Vatican is still sacred and beautiful, and the darkness stays a hundred miles away from the Vatican. Even the vegetation and flowers here are not affected, and they are as vibrant as usual.

Mario escorted Tang Qiu all the way to the Vatican country in a low-key way. Because a large number of light knights were sent outside, the guards of the Vatican country were not as strict as before. He drove the carriage, avoided the guards and returned to Ruisi's manor by the path.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the manor. Tang Qiu opened the door and got down from the inside. He raised his hand to support the hood and nodded slightly to Mario.

Mario led Tang Qiu in and brought him to the garden. He glanced at Ruisi who was sitting on the bench with closed eyes and meditating. He lowered his voice and said to Tang Qiu, "Give me your nameplate."

The blond bishop is now missing in the files of the Central Holy See that records the personnel of the Holy See. He has to take the nameplate to find a place that manages these and change the records back.

Tang Qiu handed the nameplate to Mario, and after watching him leave, she turned and walked towards the bench. She took off her hood, sat down on the seat opposite Ruisi, and skillfully picked up the teapot in front of her for herself. Poured a cup of tea.

Hearing the sound, Ruisi squinted at Tang Qiu with half-opened eyes, and asked lazily, "Are you done with your business?"

Tang Qiu responded, lowered her head and took a sip of the warm tea. The aroma of roses spread in her mouth. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "It seems that the black witch has not brought any trouble to the Holy See."

The outside is in disarray. In the Vatican, not only the archbishops in red, but even the bishops are still leisurely staying in the Vatican. I don’t know if they know the strength of the monsters created in the dark formation as time goes by. will become stronger and stronger.

Tang Qiu felt that Ruisi probably didn't know.

As Tang Qiu guessed, Reese did not know about this. Only the Pope knew the information brought back by the knights sent by the Holy See. Although she also sent people to investigate, the information she got was pitifully small.

All she knew was that the darkness was under control for the time being, and she thought that the Black Witch wouldn't be able to make any waves this time.

Ruisi's expression gradually became serious. She straightened up and looked at Tang Qiu for a while, then frowned and said, "...From your description, is the black witch planning to overthrow the Holy See?"

"However, after the darkness fell, the black witch disappeared. Are they still plotting something?"

After the dark formations appeared one after another in every corner of the Situ Continent, the Black Witch did not take any action except to wipe out the endless monsters.

Tang Qiu discovered the suspicious point that Ruisi discovered earlier than her. She discussed it with Irene before she came to the Central Holy See. There are more important things.

For example, they have always insisted on it and regarded it as a lifelong belief... Summoning the Dark God.

"The black witch came prepared this time, and it's not just the Garcia family that needs to be taken seriously." Tang Qiu remembered the "werewolf" army created by Grana, and said solemnly: "The Anderson family will definitely take this opportunity to The Statu Continent is even more chaotic."

As for whether the remaining most mysterious family of black witches will appear, no one can tell for sure.

"Oh? That's really good news." Reese leaned back on the chair, with a slightly mocking smile on her lips, and said slowly: "The Pope also intends to use this opportunity to suppress the darkness to establish prestige for the Holy Son." .”

"I hope the Black Witch can live up to her expectations and not disappoint the Pope."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress the darkness to build momentum for the Holy Son?No wonder until now the Holy See has not sent a red-clothed archbishop to solve the dark formation. It seems that the Pope has discovered that this situation is a good time to establish his reputation among the common people and even the nobles... But why did he think so much about the Holy Son? comprehensive?

"The Pope really does his best for the Holy Son." He had never met him before, but Tang Qiu had already developed a strong interest in the Holy Son.

Reese just sneered at Tang Qiu's emotion. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She picked up the cup in front of her with a blank expression, and lowered her head to take a sip of the cold tea. .

The Holy See is now paying attention to the movements of the dark forces. Even Cambecas and Audrey, who have almost torn their skins, have tacitly ceased fighting. A bishop who disappeared and returned did not cause any waves under the cover of Reese. Until the pope gathered everyone to discuss suppressing the dark forces, some people who knew the blonde bishop were surprised to find that she had returned.

After the Pope left the customs, Reese, who had always been arrogant and arrogant in the Central Holy See, restrained her personality and became much more transparent, but no matter how restrained she was, she was still the most eye-catching existence when she appeared.

The auditorium used to discuss important matters in the Central Holy See, Vogt and other red-clothed archbishops came here early to wait, and the bishop also arrived on July [-]/[-], only three seats were vacant near the steps.

Reese came with Tang Qiu and Monica neither early nor late. The archbishop in red was not in the same area as the bishop. Reese watched Monica find her place with Tang Qiu before walking casually. own position.

Her place was opposite Vogt, and there was one place vacant on the steps.

Below the steps, one left and one right belong to Cambecas and Gabriel.

The auditorium was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard. Tang Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at the several red-clothed archbishops standing in the front, then lowered his eyes, quietly waiting for the Pope's arrival.

After waiting for an indeterminate amount of time, the pope arrived late surrounded by Cambecas and Gabriel, the knight of light with a golden long sword on his waist, and the priest in ordinary robes without rank guarding the Pope's safety.

Hearing the movement, Tang Qiu raised her head slightly, and looked at the Pope unobtrusively. She had been in the Holy See for a long time, but this was the first time she saw the Pope.

More than ten years ago, the Pope began to go out in depth on the grounds of physical discomfort, and later he was unable to retreat, and the power in his hands was gradually handed over to the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden.

Although he has the intention of abdicating, the serious aging of his body is also one of the reasons.

The power of light can delay aging. The pope has lived several hundred years longer than ordinary humans. He looks steady and energetic, but his hair is completely white and his face is full of old age.

The Pope walked up to the steps, slowly raised his head and stared at the throne above for a while, then walked up and turned around to sit down, with his left hand on his right, stroking the ring between his fingers representing the identity of the Pope, with an inscrutable expression on his face .

Cambecas and Gabriel stood in front of the steps, with their hands hanging by their sides, and their faces were so flat that no emotion could be seen.

While stroking the power ring, the Pope glanced at the archbishops in red calmly, and said slowly, "The Goddess of Light loves the world, the first pope Cynthia inherits the will of the Goddess of Light, even though the black witch is cold-blooded and evil but Still haven't killed them all."

"But it turns out that dark creatures are not merciful." The pope paused for a moment, turning the power ring in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If they are not wiped out, more innocent civilians will only die in their hands."

He glanced at Cambecas as he spoke, and Cambecas answered with interest, "What His Majesty said is that if the Goddess of Light sees what the Black Witch has done to this continent, I believe she will also be angry .”

The Pope nodded, looked at the faces of the archbishops in red one by one, and said indifferently: "I plan to leave the matter of eliminating black witches to the Holy Son."

His gaze jumped from the archbishop in red to the bishops behind him, "I'm running out of energy, please help him deal with it."

The bishops responded in a low voice, and Reese, who was standing in the front row, looked down at the hem of her robe, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

The Pope's spirit was indeed weak, and he felt tired after speaking for a while, so he raised his hand and waved everyone back.

As the flow of people came out of the auditorium, Tang Qiu and Monica stood aside and waited for Ruisi who hadn't come out yet. After Monica came to the Vatican, she stayed in the manor that Ruisi prepared for her, without any hassle. For the teaching affairs, she calmed down and practiced the spell of light, which made a lot of progress.

Although Monica doesn't have a thorough understanding of the power disputes within the Central Holy See, but she has been in the Holy See for a long time, even if she doesn't want to pay attention, she can still spy on the undercurrents inside.

As he was about to abdicate, the pope was jealous of all the cardinals.

Of course Tang Qiu could see what Monica could see, but compared to Monica's worried mood, Tang Qiu was much more relaxed.

Tang Qiu and Rui Si had already guessed, so they were not surprised at all.

The archbishop in red has the same right to inherit the position of the Pope as the Holy Son. How could the Pope be willing to let them show off in suppressing the dark forces and establish their prestige.

The archbishop in red stayed in the auditorium for a short while, and then came out. Reese was the first one to come out. Tang Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at her. A somewhat familiar figure arrived.

She froze for a moment, then turned her head to look, the other party had already walked behind a red-clothed archbishop, and the two were talking with their heads down.

Reese glanced at the blond bishop's line of sight and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Tang Qiu came back to his senses, pointed at the familiar man, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that man?"

Reese glanced, "The Bishop of the Holy See of Seville, Gabriel's confidant."

"what happened?"

The Holy See of Seville?Tang Qiu touched his chin with his hand, and said thoughtfully: "It's nothing, I just think it looks familiar."

"Be careful when you meet him. This person is as cunning as Gabriel." Reese didn't have a good impression of this person. She turned her gaze away and took Tang Qiu and Monica away.

Cambecas, who had just come out of the auditorium, happened to see a side of them. He looked at Tang Qiu's back in surprise, and said to the accompanying priest beside him, "Is that Grace? Didn't it mean that she was attacked by a black witch and then disappeared?"

The news of Tang Qiu's return was overwhelmed by Rui Si, and the accompanying priest was also confused, "This... I will go back and send someone to investigate."

Cambecas squinted his eyes and was about to say something when his shoulder was hit hard suddenly, and he almost fell forward with a pounce.

"Audrey." Cambecas gritted his teeth and looked at the enchanting woman who passed by him, and shouted bitterly.

Audrey glanced at him contemptuously, snorted coldly, and strode away.

"This woman!" Seeing people around him watching him, Cambecas could only suppress the surging anger. He took a deep breath, turned and left with the priest with a cold face.

Audrey strode up to Reese and the others who were about to leave the Central Holy See. She raised her hand to stop the three of them, her probing eyes fixed on Tang Qiu.

Tang Qiu graciously let her look at her, and even greeted her with a smile.

Audrey stared at Tang Qiu for a while, frowning more and more tightly, a hand stretched out from the side and squeezed Audrey's chin and turned her head around, Ruisi raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What's up?"

Audrey patted her hand away, and said expressionlessly: "The court has the right to review suspicious people."

She glanced at Tang Qiu, "You'd better take the initiative to come to the court to report what you did during the time you were missing."
