Black Knight From Blue Star

 Chapter 625 The campaign begins

 The Pope announced the candidates for the election of Cardinals on the second day.

As expected, it directly caused an uproar.

It is not unusual for all male cardinal archbishops to stand for election, but it is somewhat surprising for the Saint of Light to stand for election.

  After all, since the establishment of the Church of Light, there has never been a female pope.

 Besides, this matter is a bit ‘abnormal’.

 After all, in almost everyone’s intuitive mind, the pope should be male.

There was an uproar in the Church of Light, but Sharon Deckard's home was peaceful.

Karina lives here now. She learns to make some pastries every day, and then makes Hardy and Ryan to eat.

 As the ‘experiment’ subject, Sharon has eaten a lot of desserts in the past few days.

As soon as she came in and saw Karina and the cakes on the table, she shook her head helplessly and said, "There's going to be a big commotion outside, but it's better for you to hide here and be at ease."

 “You used the wrong word, they are the ones who are anxious!”

"Is that something I can learn casually?" Sharon rolled her eyes angrily: "If I have time to study, wouldn't it be better for me to practice more physical skills!"

Of course, most women practice this just to maintain their figure.

　Karina’s eyes widened and she was a little confused: “Why?”

 The so-called overkill is overkill.

Carina looked at her speechlessly.

Carina smiled, she actually knows body art.

 There is a reason why she has such a good figure.

Carina smiled: "I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's them who are."

“It’s okay, among the high-level magical arts, there is the body shape changing technique. Go and learn it.” Karina said with a smile.

  In French, the pronouns for men and women are different, which can be heard at a glance.

Lapis smiled and said: "Holy girl, your mind is still too bright. I can actually understand their thoughts. If I were not with you, I would be like this."

At that time, there was a knock on the door. The maid opened the door and found that the person standing outside was Lapis.

"Still do not understand!"

She is a woman, and as a woman, if she ascends to the position of pope, wouldn’t it be a very exciting thing for all the nuns?

 Lapis sat down: "They are jealous of you."

Carina was a little confused: "Them? Who is against me?"

It is also an entry-level skill for advanced swordsmanship - unicorn body swordsmanship.

 Physical art is actually something similar to yoga, which was passed down from the elves.

She looked at the girl who brought out another plate of exquisite pastries and sighed: "If I keep eating like this, I will become a fat woman."

 “Most of the nuns!”

"Jealousy is a woman's most straightforward and strongest emotion." Lapis explained: "They are jealous of your beauty, your figure, your talent, and your identity. Now... they are even more jealous. Jealous that you can compete with men."

Carina sighed helplessly.

 She grew up with Hardy and Ryan, and actually had no other female friends.

 In fact, she doesn’t know much about women’s personalities.

Lapis looked at Karina's confused look and said, "But this is good. At least you don't have the common problems of most women. This way you are more suitable for becoming a superior."

Sharon, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said, "So how supportive are the male pastors of Karina?"

"On the contrary, it's better. It doesn't seem too annoying." Lapis smiled: "They are just a little uncomfortable, but they don't show strong opposition."

Sharon blinked her beautiful eyes and sighed: "So, Karina's chances of winning are naturally not great." "Of course not. Almost all the nuns are against her." Lapis spread her hands and made a helpless gesture: "The men's attitude towards her is also quite ambiguous. Her chances of winning are almost non-existent!"

 Sharon sighed.

 Lapis continued to look at Karina: "So, do you want to give speeches and lobby?"

Karina shook her head: "No need. Before leaving, Hadi said that after we start the campaign, nothing we do will have much effect. On the contrary, if we do nothing, we can paralyze our competitors."

 “Then when did he come here?”

 Hearing the sound of Hadi's name, Lapis' eyes visibly lit up.

 The same goes for Sharon next to her.

Carina looked at the other party's expression and smiled: "Actually, Archbishop Lapis is here to inquire about Hadi."

Lapis blushed a little, but did not refute.

 She was once a very career-minded woman. She always believed that the relationship between men and women and the affairs between men and women were just a waste of life and meaningless.

 But after experiencing the kindness of men in person, she understood why many strong women end up trapped by love.

Karina laughed: "On the most important day, he will appear."

 When Lapis and Sharon heard this, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

 In the following days, Saint Karina did not make any campaign moves.

 At first, the other archbishops thought she had some special plan, but as the election day approached, she still made no move.

Then they all breathed a sigh of relief and went to deal with other **** archbishops.

 The Pope even sent someone over to ask about the situation in detail several times and asked Karina why she did something.

Carina didn’t answer or pay attention.

 Made the pope sigh in the temple: "Maybe the saint was frightened by Goebbels' words."

In fact, the Pope didn’t really think that Karina could succeed in the election at first. After all, Karina’s foundation in the Holy See was too weak.

He just hoped that the appearance of the saint would bring about the slightest change in this already stagnant and increasingly degenerate Church of Light.

 After this hope was shattered, the old pope's complexion became obviously worse.

 Twenty days passed quickly.

 This day is the day when the new pope is born.

 Everyone in the Church of Light gathered in the square in front of the temple.

Eleven candidates are all standing on a high platform.

 In front of them, there was a white spar.

 This is ‘counting times’.

Carina stands on the high platform, and the other eleven male cardinals are obviously not painted in the same style.

 The others are all men, and all of them are middle-aged or elderly.

 Only she is a young girl, and very, very beautiful.

Just standing there can attract everyone’s attention.

In the past twenty days, more than a dozen candidates have been fighting openly and secretly, each with their own interests... In fact, the winner has already been decided. Now I am standing here, just looking for a decent way to exit.

 When the old pope appeared on the high platform, there were excited cheers below.

 The old pope glanced at Karina with a look of indifference, and shook his head helplessly.

"Now the election officially begins." The Pope hunched over his body, used the magic of amplification, and said to the bottom: "Inject your light power into the light stone in front of the candidates."
