The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Gabriel is the Pope's right-hand man like Cambecas, but he is obviously not as trusted by the Pope as Cambecas. This is from the fact that the Pope gave Cambecas a teleportation scroll that can ignore the domain but he can see it without giving it to him. Out.

Although Gabriel is the oldest of the several cardinals in office, he is actually several decades younger than Cambecas and is in his prime.

When Gabriel was young, he was extremely gifted, intelligent and comprehensible, and very good at reading people's hearts. He not only adapted to the "darkness" of the Holy See, but quickly integrated into it.

It is said that he was especially loved by the pope at that time, and there were even rumors that the pope wanted him to be his son.

But then the Pope suddenly changed his mind for some reason, and the position of the Holy Son remained vacant until the current Holy Son appeared more than ten years later, and won the Pope's favor all the way up to the high position of the Holy Son.

No one knows whether Gabriel, who missed out on the position of Son of God, is willing or not. This man is thoughtful, and he can still be respectful and respectful to the Son of God, who is very young in terms of strength and qualifications, for more than ten years. faithfully assist.

Nothing out of the ordinary was done.

But Reese, who knew how deep the water in the Holy See was, never felt that Gabriel was an honest person from the very beginning, otherwise, why would the Pope be wary of him secretly.

Now that the confidant Cambecas, whom the Pope can really control, dies, Gabriel's ambitions will begin to be revealed.

Jointly swallow the connections of Cambecas?You must know that the power in the hands of Cambecas is all the power of the Pope.

This is equivalent to taking a share of the Pope's power. Gabriel is completely fancy that Ruisi's backer is the Holy Son, so he pulls her to avoid risks together.

After all, although the pope is old, if he is determined to kill, even Gabriel can't bear it.

Reese sneered, although it might arouse the Pope's suspicion, since Gabriel dared to do it, why wouldn't she dare?

Tang Qiu didn't know as much about the inside story of the Holy See as Reese, but she could still distinguish some superficial situations clearly. Gabriel's proposal had advantages and disadvantages, but in her opinion, it was completely worth a try.

The pope is a lion whose claws and claws have become blunted. He may still have power, but at the same time he has to protect the young lion cub.

If you worry about too many things, you will lose the opportunity and lose momentum, and the lion will not be afraid.

"The Holy Son's exit must be to suppress the black witch. At that time, all the bishops will leave the Holy See, and they will not be under the Pope's eyes. There will be more things to do." Tang Qiu saw that Ruisi seemed to be reluctant to Gabriel's proposal. Interested, he frowned slightly, "This is an opportunity, Reese."

"As long as you leave the Holy See, I will take care of Cambecas' subordinates. You just need to install/insert someone you can trust in the position they vacated."

Ruisi raised her eyes and stared at Tang Qiu for a while, then said with a half-smile, "You can handle it? Speaking of which, Mario just told me something very interesting."

She had known for a long time that Mario would definitely report to Ruisi, so Tang Qiu was not surprised when she heard her words. She observed Ruisi's expression and saw that she was the same as usual, so she curled her lips slightly and said calmly. Said: "What's interesting? About werewolves or vampires?"

Tang Qiu's attitude was undoubtedly a kind of tacit consent. Ruisi played with the cup in her hand, smiled lowly, and sighed: "You are really bold."

A member of the Holy See was actually able to make friends with two people from hostile forces, and according to Mario's description, Tang Qiu didn't know the ordinary two werewolves and the vampires.

Rui Si sized Tang Qiu up with interest, and asked curiously, "What is your identity?"

Tang Qiu lowered her head and took a sip of water. The faint scent of roses spread in her mouth. She raised her eyes and looked at Ruisi. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand in front of her. Under Ruisi's curious eyes, her palm stretched , The sharp nails slowly emerged.

Tang Qiu turned his palm over and knocked his nails on the table, a crack appeared on the stone table.

She withdrew her hand, looked at Ruisi with a smile, and jokingly said, "Does this identity make you feel safe?"

Ruisi regained her senses slightly, looked at Tang Qiu in surprise, and after a while, said slowly: "Yes."

Tang Qiu's real identity is a werewolf. Although Ruisi was surprised, this just explained the doubts Mario said. Tang Qiu did not choose to avoid talking about it, but confessed to her, which made Ruisi somewhat happy .

As for why a werewolf came to the Holy See to become a bishop, to be honest, Reese didn't care, because it had nothing to do with her.

But speaking of werewolves, Reese remembered one thing. She touched the cup, frowned and said: "For a while, Audrey found me and inquired a lot about you and werewolves, she may have doubts." Now, you have to be careful not to be caught by her."

Tang Qiu felt a little helpless for this intuitive presiding judge. She sighed and said, "I will."

For a period of time to come, she probably won't be staying in the Vatican, and Audrey won't be able to catch her if she wants to.

The Holy Son's exit was indeed to suppress the Black Witch. In fact, his power of light had not yet been practiced to satisfy him, but the tragic death of Cambecas at the hands of the Black Witch had too much influence, and he had to come out early .

The Pope, who refused anyone to visit him on the grounds that he was unwell, did not rest in his bedroom. In the white castle behind the manor, thick curtains blocked the sunlight outside, and only a faint candlelight provided a glimmer of light for the room. , the pope sat on the throne with his eyes closed and meditated, silently reciting incantations. I don't know if he was old. Apart from his body becoming weak, even his memory was slowly deteriorating.

Some spells of light spells were disappearing from his mind, the pope muttered silently for a while, sighed slightly, the power ring on the index finger of his right hand shone softly in the darkness.

The door of the castle was pushed open from the outside, and the light drove away the darkness, causing the Pope to frown slowly, but after discovering who the person who pushed the door came in, the brow slowly relaxed again, and he beckoned at the Holy Son He waved and said slowly, "Come here and sit down."

The Holy Son walked over and walked up the steps naturally and sat down on the first chair under the pope. He was not as respectful and cautious as others when facing the pope, but was very close to him, "I saw the bones of Cambecas, indeed. Died at the hands of the Black Witch."

The Son stood up straight with his hands on his lap, with a hint of arrogance between his brows, "It seems that Cambecas is really old, and he is so careless."

Hearing him mention the word "old" made the Pope frowned. He naturally knew the state of Canbecas, and it was not to the extent that he would lose his life due to carelessness. The Pope interrupted the words of the Holy Son and said earnestly: "Cambecas' death may not have been that simple."

The Holy Son froze for a moment, and frowned, "Then what else could be the reason?" It was evident that it was caused by the power of darkness to be corroded like that.

The Pope was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Let me handle this matter. You should concentrate on studying how to suppress the black witch so that the reputation of the Holy See can be further improved."

He originally wanted to send Cambecas to assist the Holy Son in suppressing the Black Witch, but now... the Pope was thinking about which of the remaining cardinals would be more suitable.

Before he could think about it, the Holy Son spoke again, "I discussed the suppression of the Black Witch with Gabriel and Reese yesterday, and a preliminary decision has been made."

"Don't worry, His Majesty the Pope, I will definitely let the light shine on every corner of the Sistatu continent again."

pope:"……"

"Think more about everything, and you can't believe everything Gabriel says. You must know that you are the Holy Son." The Pope raised his hand and patted the Holy Son's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "You are the Holy Son chosen by the Goddess of Light. My position is yours, and it is your duty to lead the Holy See back to the top."

The Holy Son lifted his chin and said solemnly: "I will not disappoint the trust of His Majesty the Pope and the Goddess of Light."

"Good boy." The Pope withdrew his hand, rubbed the space between his brows, and said wearily, "I'm a little tired, you should go back first."

The Holy Son nodded, got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Pope again. The Pope seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly asked, "The red-clothed Archbishop Reese next to you, can she trust her?"

Reese came to power when he had handed over the rights to the Holy Son when he was not managing the religious affairs. Because of the relationship with the Son, the Pope did not pay much attention to Reese, but occasionally he heard Cambecas complain that this woman was ruthless.

At that time, he believed that the Holy See could not be controlled only by Cambecas and Gabriel, and occasionally needed some different voices, so he let Reese develop his own power.

If a powerful woman can be completely controlled by the Holy Son, it will be a great help for the Holy Son to secure the position of pope.

Mentioning the Son of Raise nodded without hesitation, and said as a matter of course: "Of course you can trust it."

Seeing that he was so sure, the Pope didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

After the Holy Son left, darkness returned to the castle. The Pope stared at the void and wondered what he was meditating on. He moved his hand on the throne and chanted a spell in a low voice, but nothing appeared after the spell was chanted.

His face slowly sank, and he sank into the throne as if he had aged a few years.

The Xitai clan began to ignore his call, which is really not good news.

The Pope sat in the dark for an unknown amount of time, when there was a slight sound of footsteps, the Pope's expression moved, and he raised his eyes slightly, and at some point there was a tall figure standing under the steps.

Long silver hair hangs down her waist, and the saint is wearing a well-regulated white robe, but she still can't hide her elegance. She looks at the pope on the throne with her hands hanging by her side, and the same golden eyes are compared with hers. Son of God is more ethereal and mysterious.

Seeing her put her hand down, the Pope sighed and said, "What's the matter with the Holy Son's power of light?"

Phoenix shook her head slightly, "I don't know, it seems to have entered a bottleneck."

Although it was rumored that the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter were practicing the power of light together in the Garden of Eden, it was actually the Holy Daughter who was assisting the Holy Son to practice.

The Pope looked solemn, raised his eyes and glanced at Phoenix, and asked, "Can't you help him?"

Before Phoenix frowned, she heard the pope muttering to herself, "He is also a descendant of the gods, why doesn't he have the ability to prophesy?"

The gods are naturally sensitive to the power of light, and some people have the talent for prophecy. The pope always felt that the gods were more capable than that, because the strength of the first pope was so powerful that he could almost be compared with gods, and he could also create Things like teleportation scrolls that ignore the domain.

It's a pity that the number of descendants of the gods became less and less, outsiders only knew half of their family, and even the Holy See didn't have many records about the descendants of the gods.

After hearing the Pope's soliloquy, the saint retracted what she wanted to say, and stared at her clothes with slightly downcast eyes.

The Pope recovered from his contemplation, touched the ring in his hand, and said lightly: "Campecas is dead, but the bishop who was with him came back alive."

The saint whispered, "I'll investigate."

The Pope nodded, "Thank you, Phoenix."
