Chapter 09: Turbulent Night (4)(1/2)

"Baby, it's time to go to bed." Shelley said with a smile.

"But mom, I don't want to sleep yet," Little Ricci said while lying on the bed.

"You can't grow up if you don't sleep well."

"But I've grown very fast."

"Uh..." Shelley frowned, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He really had no experience as a mother for the first time. The key was that her child was still the unique weirdness in the world. This made her very confused: "Anyway, do you know if you have to sleep well? Otherwise... Mom will tell you another story."

As she said that, Shelley pulled out a fairy tale from the bookshelf next to her.

"No need for mom!" Ritchie hurriedly called out: "I will sleep well!"

"Do you think I'm not good at speaking?" Shelley's mouth pouted, and she was so angry.

"No, mom, no, I just... suddenly got sleepy." As he said that, Ritchie quickly pretended to yawn.

"Okay, then you go to bed." Shelley put the fairy tale back, blew out the candle, got up and left the room.

The moonlight poured into the gaps in the curtains obliquely.

After the door closed and Shelley's footsteps gradually faded away, Richie crawled up with his head and mind.

"What did you just tell me?"

The guardian angel and the inducing demon quickly appeared in front of Ricci's bed.

Delia stammered and said, "Sir Saint...Sir Saint took the Silver Moon Knights to the Holy See Mountain, and almost all the Cardinals were caught by him. They are now interfering in the Pope's election."

"Yes, the same is true of the message I received." Salina spread her hands.

"Great! Dad finally figured it out!" Little Ritchie cheered: "Then what should we do now? Let's go to support Dad?"

"I don't think this is a good idea. You don't know how to use flying magic yet." Salina said helplessly.

"So, we can only miss such a big thing, and we can only sit here and wait for news?"

"Yes." The guardian angel and the inducing demon replied in unison.

Little Ricci rolled his eyes, and was a little discouraged.

...

In his room, Shelley sat at the desk and wrote a letter silently.

"Gray, Ritchie is so fast that I'm almost unable to teach you. However, he is still very well-behaved and will definitely grow into a Paladin who is as great as you. Don't worry about the family affairs, leave it to me..."

...

"No, I need to step up my magic so that I can support my father! Have you found the book you are looking for?"

The guardian angel and the guardian demon each took out a thick book and handed it to Gray. One was called "The Secret Words of the Abyss" and the other was called "The Holy Whisper".

Yes, if you want to learn magic systematically, you must first start with language. Abyss and Temple are the two most basic magic languages. In addition, there are also the derived "Ancient Elf Language", "Dragon Language", which is also the native language, "Dragon Language", "Element Language", "Void Language", and "Chaos Language" as the instinctive language... In short, the process of learning magic is actually a process of fighting against various complex magic languages. This is why the powerful and boundless existence of magic often lasts for a long time, and it is difficult for humans to have good magic attainments. Of course, if the talent is high enough, it can be accelerated.

Looking at the obscure and complex symbols, Little Ritchie, who has been thinking she is smart since childhood, feels dizzy for the first time.

Gripping his teeth, under the night, the second generation of lich who was still growing up hid in his room and began to study hard in the dark, fighting against various magical languages.

Aibod, who was floating outside the castle, was sweating desperately.

...

Azrant Hill.

The flying pigeons have begun to return one by one.

"One vote for Lord Dominiel."

"One vote for Lord Anqiro."

"One vote for Lord Dominiel."

"One vote for Lord Darren."

Carl read one after another.

Grey listened quietly.

The Cardinals listened carefully.

The three candidates listened in cold sweat.

Finally, the final result came out.

Carl read loudly: "Lord Dominiel eleven votes, Lord Darren forty-three votes, Lord Anchiro eleven votes. Except for the two Cardinals who were not present, the other votes have been ordered."

Carl announced loudly: "Lord Darren was elected as the 551st Pope with a high vote!"

"Congratulations, Lord Darren, you were elected as you wish." Grey said softly.

Dominier and Ancillo II immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But the elected Darren IV screamed: "No—! This is impossible! I asked for a new vote count! There were not so many people supporting me!"

"Sir Darren, there are only sixty-six tickets in total, and I can't order the wrong one." Carl spread his hands.

Darren IV suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned his face to look at the other cardinals: "You...you have deliberately made me elected!"

The hall was quiet and no cardinal expressed his opinion on this.

"You!" Darren IV trembled slightly, and pointed his hand at Dominier and Ancillo II who were sitting together.

Dominier spread his hands and said, "I support you."

"So too." Anchiro II echoed.

"You are taking revenge on me!"

"No, we just think you have a better relationship with the Paladin and are more suitable for being a pope."

"This is not fair! I just met him privately, and I didn't even reach any agreement!"

"This is fair!" Gray's voice suddenly overwhelmed everything.

Turning back, Darren IV stared at Gray with his eyes wide open and trembling slightly.

"Carl." Grayjean went aside and whispered: "Take our new pope here, he needs to make a statement of inauguration."

"yes!"

Carl waved his hand and immediately several Silver Moon Knights surrounded Darren IV.

"No—! You can't do this! This is cheating! This is cheating! I said I didn't support me before, so why did I suddenly support me? This is unfair!"

Darren IV struggled wildly, but it was obviously useless. He was almost dragged by the Silver Moon Knight to the center of the hall.

"I came to canvass the votes before, but now he doesn't want to give them to him. Unfortunately, it's too late. Even the poison can only be swallowed." Fangmao, who was standing at the door, joked speechlessly.

Finally, Darren IV, who was suppressed, finally stopped struggling. Or rather, he finally realized that no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless. After adjusting his emotions, he stood in the middle of the hall in a panting and said breathlessly: "Thank you! Your support for me! I will remember everyone who voted for me today. Don't worry, I know who you are! I will firmly implement the program I proposed before! I can't blame me, it was you who voted to select me!"

He almost gritted his teeth and said this. Dominiel and Ancillo II in the audience looked at him expressionlessly.

At the end, Darren IV said viciously: "Okay, it's over. I have nothing to say. Tomorrow will be a new day, everyone will go back. Lord Paladin, you can also lift the blockade."

As he said that, Darren IV turned his head and wanted to leave, but Gray reached out to stop him.

"Pope, please wait a moment."

Darren IV was stunned.

Dominier chuckled and said, "What else does he want to do?"

The Cardinals all opened their eyes wide.

"The Pope has been elected. Do you have any other plans?" asked the Black Cat.

Looking at Darren IV, Gray whispered: "The Pope has just taken office. As I said just now, the Holy See has deviated from its original direction. I think we should take this opportunity to discuss how to go next. Of course, before that, we need to summarize the mistakes we made before."

"What does this mean?" someone asked in a low voice.

"What do you want to summarize by Lord Paladin?" Darren IV asked suspiciously, his face turning red and white.

Turning his face, Gray looked at the Cardinal present and whispered: "The Cardinal is the most fundamental, and there are no pests allowed here. So, the first thing you did when you became the Pope, I suggest that the members of the Cardinal should be reexamined."

Grey glanced at Levi, who was lying on the ground, and added: "Of course, there are Paladins."

The Cardinals' eyes were twitching, as if they had realized something.

Darren IV felt like he was going crazy: "It's too late, what's wrong tomorrow..."

"No, now, right now." Grey interrupted Darren IV's words, turned his face and said firmly: "Carl, go and search the Cardinal's residence, bring all the things with words, and bring all the things you think are suspicious. Now, here we are going to re-examine each of our Cardinals."

Putting down a few simple words is like dropping a bomb.

If everything before was just a long-term threat, then searching the residence would be a threat that would be fulfilled immediately.

The Cardinals were in an uproar.

"Gray! You're too much! You're trying to eliminate dissidents!" Dominiel roared first.

Immediately afterwards, there were other bishops.

"You actually dare to search our residence! Who gives you the power!"
To be continued...
