Blood of Mercury

Kasaka stood at the gate of the prison, with his hands in his sleeves, quietly looking at Xila who came out of it, showing a gentle smile.

With a smile on his lips, he said softly, "My brother, it's a pleasure to see you again."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to support Sheila's shoulder.

Although released by Kasaka in the name of the cardinals, Shera's hands were heavily shackled and locked behind him. As he walked slowly step by step, the clang clang of the metal dragging on the ground came slowly.

Sheila looked at Kasaka with a sincere and sincere smile.

"I didn't expect that I would still be able to come out of here one day." Xila's eyes were full of gratitude.

Looking at Xila's expression, a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of Kasaka's mouth.

Afterwards, Kasaka's expression immediately became serious and sad: "Now, Shira. I want to tell you some unfortunate news... Lord Jupiter IV has been called by the Lord."

Sheila opened her mouth slowly, her eyes full of disbelief.

He made a difficult mouth: "What-what? His Excellency the Pope...he..."

"I thought you'd be happier," Kasaka hugged Syrah again and whispered in his ear, "After all, he made you suffer so much."

"This is not suffering. Brother in my Lord."

Cyla pointedly said: "It's growth. He taught me a lot -- a lot. I think it's only from then on that I can be considered a qualified cardinal."

"Is that so..."

With a sudden realization, Kasaka pulled up Sira's blood-stained hand, not shy at all, and the two walked side by side toward the Pope Hall above.

Before stepping into the final gate, Kasaka suddenly grabbed Xila's wrist and showed a look of help: "Sierra, since you said you learned a lot, then, you think a qualified cardinal... No. What qualities should a qualified first bishop have?"

"Well... pious. As the first bishop, the highest bishop of the cardinal group, the first person under the Pope. He will definitely be the most pious person closest to the gods."

Sheila answered without hesitation.

"Of course. What else?"

"Responsibility. Enthusiasm. Loyalty. And - I think - also the vision and intelligence for the job."

"Oh?"

Kasaka asked earnestly, "Can you please tell me in detail—"

"For example," said softly, Sheila suddenly stopped and turned to look at Kasaka, who was looking at her eagerly, with a pure smile like a holy child on her blood-stained and scarred face. "Discover our Cardinal Kasaka Mograine's ability and qualifications are sufficient for the Pope's vision, and the wisdom to assist him in handling all dangers."

"Oh, yes, yes... God bless you, you really have grown up, my brother, you will get what you want, I swear."

Kasaka couldn't help himself with excitement. A splendid smile burst into his face in an instant, and he couldn't hold back, and suddenly hugged Xila. He kissed his cheek forcefully: "Who else can I trust besides you? My brother, my own brother in the Lord, may the Lord watch over you, protect you, and grant you the grace of God for eternity—"

Having said that, he kissed Xila's cheek again excitedly, and blessed him with a low voice. Then he turned around, pushed open the door leading to the Pope's Hall, and a dazzling light overflowed in.

But Kasaka didn't see it. Behind him, Xila showed a snake-like cold look, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but there was no smile on her face.

"Ah... yes. I learned... I learned a lot from 'your' Lord."

Sheila's lips moved slightly, and she said softly in a low voice that only she could hear.

Afterwards, he put on a sincere but embarrassed gesture, and followed Cardinal Kasaka into the conference hall that had been separated from him for half a month.

In addition to Kasaka, the remaining ten cardinals have long been waiting here. Looking at Cyrah with joy, doubt, contempt, or pity.

And Xi La returned to haggard but still clear eyes. Use your fingers to draw circles in front of your chest and press to your chest to salute each other.

Two pure girls dressed in white removed Xila's blood-stained robes. With his head lowered, he gently wiped the blood-stained body and hair of Xila with a pure white cotton cloth soaked in warm water. He served him and put on a pure white shirt and a deep red robe. Wearing gold and red ornate shoulder straps.

Finally, a purple-robed bishop came over, knelt on the ground and raised the ring of Syrah.

Sheila slowly stretched out her left hand, took the long-awaited Quan Ring, and kissed it deeply, almost trembling.

"My lord... welcome back." The purple-robed bishop knelt on the ground, looked up at Xila's face with almost fanatical eyes, and said softly with a trembling voice.

"Thank you, my boy. May Tyre bless you."

Sheila lowered her head, gave a warm blessing, and gently kissed the young bishop's forehead.

As the purple-robed bishop withdrew with satisfaction, Xila stepped forward and walked towards the eleven people.

"Xila, let me briefly tell you about the predicament we are facing."

Kasaka said solemnly: "Now, we have lost the response to His Majesty Tyre's prayers, and no new priests will be produced. The believers are already on the verge of hesitation and collapse. Pagans and other gods are also ready to move. , many people above the silver rank began to sneak into Frankfurt - and what Tianshi can be sure of is that they are by no means the believers of Tyre who came to worship."

"To ease this predicament, some time ago...because some of us took...well, some slightly risky strategy, summoned a saint, and yet without the restraint of Jupiter IV, he let things change. Worse. Now Frankfurt is on the verge of collapse. We need you, Sheila. Only you can stabilize things now."

"But I'm just a cardinal, Lord Kasaka," Syrah said softly, eyes down. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"No, it's not what you think... The Sky Vision Division reported yesterday that a fairly young priest of Tyre appeared in the south and attacked Ra's temple with a magical technique... It was a bishop-level divine technique, and its power was infinitely close. Pope level, and he holds the right ring of Jupiter IV in his hand... Although he is supposed to be the new Pope~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But you can understand, we can't call a little-known , and the tyrannical and murderous young man shoulders such a heavy responsibility. We need you, Shira... only you can oppose him."

After that, everyone was silent, waiting for Shira's reply.

After a long time, Sheila nodded silently and took a step forward. and others formed a perfect circle.

"Then, everyone..."

"—All glory goes to Tyre."

Everyone prayed in unison, and the final ring of the ceremony was closed.

Then, a silver-haired old man with high cheekbones and thin lips said solemnly: "Then, in the name of the first bishop Guderian, I announce that the pope selection ceremony will begin now." (To be continued. .)

PS: There is another meeting today until ten o'clock... Chapter 2 is almost gone...

Hopefully this is an anti-flag...
