The Holy Mountain of Carenriel finally ushered in the papal election.
If everyone was still hesitating before about which candidate to choose as the next pope, but as the events of the past month have continued to unfold, Begnès has become the unique candidate.
The first was the downfall of Sibyss, which led to a large number of people in his faction being imprisoned, suspended and imprisoned, and their prestige and reputation were completely lost.
In addition, although Otis was saved, its prestige was also challenged a lot. Many of the previously hidden problems were thrown out by the remnants of Theibis in the counterattack, leaving them tired of explaining and clarifying. In addition, inside the Holy Mountain, in
Surrounded by the Knights of the Holy Lance, such a shocking assassination incident occurred, which also made him lose face. It was no longer possible to respond to everyone's questions with confidence.
As a result, after the two candidates with the highest qualifications and popularity withdrew, among the remaining candidates, except Charente, no one had the corresponding strength and reputation to reach the threshold of the Pope.
In the Seraph Cathedral on the top of the Holy Mountain, 163 archbishops, 625 bishops, 234 priests, and 129 paladin captains gathered together.
They will vote on the next pope.
"Now, the voting begins!"
The bishop, wearing a golden and red robe, walked up to the stage and struck the small hammer in front of him. The sound of jade chimes echoed in the hall of the church and then reached the high dome.
White and complex exquisite carvings are all over this church, on pillars, window sills, walls, domes, and even handrails and guardrails. Angels, wings, shells, waves, branches and leaves, flowers, and other patterns together create this brilliant and magnificent church.
.
And when the afternoon sun shines into the room through the colored windows, you can also see the gradual halo of light refracted slightly in the air, making people feel like they are in heaven.
Lorraine Hill, wearing a nun's uniform with a silver-edged black robe, stood at the edge of the hall, looking at the quiet and sacred voting site and feeling the unique solemn atmosphere of the venue.
One by one, clergymen wearing neat and elegant robes walked forward in line and cast their votes in the transparent glass box.
When the sun set in the west, under the watchful eyes of many extraordinary people present, each envelope was opened, revealed, and then counted.
In the end, Beanies won with 70% of the votes.

Inside the Palace of Aquarius, in the small hall on the second floor.
Beenice and Lorraine Hill sat opposite each other.
"Is your body recovering well? I heard from the nun who took care of you that you are still sleepy recently, and sometimes you can fall asleep just sitting in the yard."
"It will probably take a while to fully recover, but the impact will not be big. If you concentrate, you still won't fall asleep." Lorraine Hill said this while stroking the hair beside his ear in embarrassment.
"Then have a good rest, and don't worry about the college's assessment. Haha, I will give you an evaluation."
After Beenice got acquainted with Lorraine Hill, she teased the 17-year-old silver-haired girl in front of her.
"Well... uh, thank you Beenice." Lorraine Hill couldn't think of anything to retort at the moment, so he had to accept her kindness.
After chatting with Lorraine Hill for a while and understanding each other's recent situation, Beenice also started to talk about business.
"According to our recent report from the Frost Rose branch, the entire Frost Alliance has now been mobilized. A large number of soldiers have begun to gather at the border. In the port, one after another demon statues have also been sent to the steel warship, ready to be ready at any time.
Set sail. In the sky of Mozwa, you can see airships rising into the sky every day."
"This time they have almost mobilized their entire country and started mobilizing to prepare for war." Beinis said about the recent worrying news.
"I know, I will immediately notify the internal staff of Crancia and ask them to take action quickly." Knowing that this matter is not a trivial matter, Lorraine Hill's expression also became serious.
"Well, if necessary, we will also send a 'team' to support you."
Beenice emphasized the word team when she said it, which seemed to indicate that this team was extraordinary.
"Thank you." Lorraine Hill stood up and thanked him, then looked out the window at the distant sky.
It seems that this war is inevitable.
Silverfinches fly out from the pages of the book one after another. They will carry these urgent messages through the layers of clouds and the sky, and go to various parts of Crancia and Verga to announce the arrival of this crisis.

Three days later, in the Papal Hall.
Beenice was sitting in front of the silver mirror, and several nuns behind her were helping her dress up. She put on a red cloak with gold edges and exquisite and lifelike wings embroidered on it. She was still wearing a pure white robe that showed off her body curves, with cuffs.
The collar and collar are decorated with complex and exquisite gold leaf patterns.
What is slightly different from before is that the pure white robe is embroidered with a pattern of feathers using refracted dark threads. When viewed against the sunlight, these pieces of feathers will reflect a faint golden color under the sunlight.
After everything was neatly dressed, accompanied by six high-ranking priests, the new female pope slowly walked into the church hall.
Today is the Pope's coronation ceremony.
On both sides of the hall stood neatly the high-level extraordinary beings in the church. The place where thousands of people gathered was extremely quiet at the moment, watching the female pope slowly walk through the crowd.
When Beenice stepped onto the front stage illuminated by white light, the two old priests on the left and right announced in unison that the ceremony had begun.
First of all, Benice explained her ideas and the future reform policy of the church to all the church leaders present.
She has said this many times recently, but everyone present still applauded warmly, because it meant that Beanies had sworn her oath of office.
After that, Beenice turned around and faced the back of the high platform. The huge curtain was slowly opened, revealing a huge angel statue that was more than 100 meters high.
This statue is similar to a relief. Most of the angel's body is sunk into the stone wall. Her eyes are slightly closed, her hands are open, and the three pairs of slender and wide wings behind her appear in the stone wall, lifelike.
The angel's appearance is dignified and beautiful, and the eyelashes under her eyes are also revealed in the fine carvings. Her upper body leans forward, revealing her graceful and beautiful body curves, and she is wearing a soft robe. Even if it is a stone sculpture, it can still make people feel...
Feel a lightness and softness.
This statue was said to have been completed by hundreds of famous sculptors shortly after the War of Chaos. They spent several years carving it carefully, and then asked successive popes and archbishops to continuously strengthen it, and it gradually became a
The symbol of the church.
The benevolent and beautiful angel is sacred and beautiful. Countless people are shocked and impressed by this beauty the moment they see it.
At this moment, Beenice knelt down on one knee, pressed her hand on the stone wall in front of her, and recited the oath handed down by the popes of the past generations.
