On the other side of the world, the Pope had left the hospital and returned to his official residence - at 7 a.m. Mass was finished in a private church, and had breakfast alone, and no one briefed him on the news. The rest of the morning he used to pray and rest according to the doctor's instructions. Before lunch, he appeared at the study window, frequently greeting the pilgrims gathered in the square in front of the Pope's official residence, and blessed them. After enjoying his lunch with a gold-edged meal plate with his seal, the Pope was reading alone, writing lectures or reading theological works throughout the afternoon and evening.

Of course, prayer is also essential. The Pope gets strength from the saint with meditation and prayer - everything begins with prayer, and everything ends with prayer. His rock-solid faith and perseverance to resist pain all come from the unshakable respect and love for the saint - even though his vitality and vitality have almost been exhausted in nearly a century of life, his soul can still be reborn in every prayer.

The youngest city in the city of Ferlencui was where he was born. He began to receive Old Testament education at the age of 5, entered the boarding school founded by a local monastery at the age of 11, and entered the Holy Lords Theological Seminary at the age of 20 and listened to the teachings of God. He not only had a profound theological attainments, but also was able to strictly discipline himself with the traditional spirit of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he was highly praised by a teacher and a dean - a cardinal. When he just left the seminary, he became the secretary of the Bishop of Ferlencui, sharing the pastoral work with him, serving as a military priest in local wars, and then served as a foreign representative of the Holy Lords' State in public church offices or embassies in various countries. He became one of the cardinals at the age of 54, and was elected as a pope nine years later - the first pope who had never come from the Holy Lords or Ross in nearly a hundred years.

Many people think he is a transitional pope because his age is too old - but he did not remain silent or inaction because of his aging - he rebelled against the Holy See's disagreement or understanding of the outside world, and made demands in several meetings to adapt the church to the times, improve the church's pastoral work, restore the vitality of the church, enhance the exchanges between the church, and even the exchanges between denominations, recognize the freedom of religious belief between individuals and groups, and promote many cardinals, including many non-Ross and the Divine Lord's national bishops, and publicize the 14th century pardon documents about the Templars... Especially in recent years, his footprints have involved almost every part of the world. No matter whether the people of that country believe in the saints, as long as they have the intention of acceptance, he is willing to stop to bless, pray, preach, and explain it endlessly - vow to spread the glory of the saints to every dark corner.

No one can deny his achievements, but more people, especially radicals, believe that the concessions and retreats taken by the Pope in a series of reform measures were too tolerant—or indulgent. They blamed the repeated reductions of believers on the fact that the Holy See abandoned the harsh rules and tough measures of the past, especially the "deal" with the secular government, or "compromise to each other". They could not see the concessions of the secular regime, and the Holy See gained greater space and future benefits, and only focused on what was lost in front of us and some old customs that no longer conformed to the current situation.

The most conclusive crime is probably to stop the action against Crown Prince Alexander Sallyeli Ferdinand - although he is indeed a dark creature... the undead, the Pope sighed, but he could not see the need to capture him at all. Although those people, whether it is the Holy Principality or Ross, or even within Sardinia, think that they can re-control Sardinia through this gap, shock and control the whole world - this idea is very naive, and it is often exhausted by the pope - this idea may have become a reality hundreds of years ago, when the spread of knowledge and technology was not as wide and profound as it is now, and the public is foolish.

, weakness and incompetence, a twisted werewolf or vampire can completely lose their courage, reason and normal thinking ability, and let the Holy See mercy - the Holy See easily reached the peak of glory and power, and even the king had to bow to the Pope to show humility and loyalty; but now, the silver-haired Pope shook his head, and highly developed technology can gain the trust of mankind - a ability that can be in his own hands without relying on others. When encountering danger, they may express gratitude for the church's help, but if the church attempts to rule mentally and physically, it will definitely die faster than the dark creatures.

The Vanjo riot is very telling. The results of the investigation by the international evaluation agency with great strength and authenticity show that after the emergence of real vampires and caused a terrible disaster, there were five significant growth in Ross in the country - the growth of Old Testament civic believers, the growth of private gun ownership, the types and amounts of accident insurance, non-human race research projects and institutions, and the last one is the most ridiculous - the worship of dark creatures and the growth of believers of other sects.

The negotiations between those naive radical bishops and the Rossian government did not bring much practical benefits to the Holy See. In addition to letting the relationship between the two countries fall to freezing point, the only biggest gain is the vigilance of the entire international community.

Sometimes the Pope really wants to yell at these bishops with rigid brains. The ears are yelling at these rigid bishops. Unless there is a disaster that destroys all technology (from equipment to data, memory) and human society enters a state of drastic regression, even if the sage reappears, it is impossible to regain the glory of the past!

Unfortunately, he was too old - the church reform and internal struggles made him fly and grow old quickly - without notice, his body was weak enough to be saved by technology, although his soul still tenaciously maintained its vigorous fighting spirit.

"You should rest, Father." Madam Prem said softly, pulling away the Gospel Road from the pope's hand. Recently, the pope is easily reading and sleeping unconsciously while thinking - and a faint cold wind can make him catch a cold and enter the hospital. According to the doctor, his immunity is extremely low, and everyone is paying attention to his body - the bishops of the neutral faction are worried that they will lose this calmness, but the leaders of the kao, the conservative bishops are worried that the radicals will seize this opportunity to do something irreversible, and the fact is that the radical bishops are slowly extinguishing the top levels of the church - their main force is clergy from the age of forty to fifty, who are stubborn, tough, cold, and eager for power and wealth, especially the cardinals from Ross. In their hearts, their country seems to be more important than faith and the development of the church.

The pope opened his eyes and stood up slowly from the rocking chair with the support of the nun. He suddenly wanted to cough a little. After enduring it for a few seconds, he finally coughed loudly without restraint. It was endless. The nun had to hold his noble and thin body, so that when he fell to the ground, he felt that he was holding a bronze bell that was being ringed with force.

"You should not leave the hospital." She said with a little reproach. She had this power and obligation. As one of the longest-serving nannies, she had served the Pope since she was just a local bishop. With just a small look, she knew what she could do. In addition, after becoming a nun, she once entered a medical school to study for nurses, and then further studied and became a doctor. She saved thousands of lives in field hospitals and poverty-stricken schools, thus allowing her to make correct judgments. She had always expressed her objections to the Pope's persistence in certain places, although she would not disobey the Holy Father.

While Madam Prem was about to notify the hospital, the Pope stopped her.

“I have my mission.”

"A healthy body is the key to your continued fulfillment of the mission delivered by the Saint Sage."

"But I don't have much time." The Pope pointed peacefully at his body: "Nothing can cure aging, no, I don't want to waste my little time in the ward without any use."

Madam Prem was silent, she put down the phone, and when the Pope thought she had convinced the stubborn follower, she saw her take a deep breath.

"Human technology cannot, so what about the gifts of the sage?" she said in an extremely firm tone: "The sage will show miracles in you."

***

"Show the miracle of the Saints?" Lily replied calmly, "Maybe I can, but why should I do this?" she added, "What can I get?"

Her words shocked Joan of Arc, who was sitting opposite her, and her face turned red quickly. She had to take a deep breath to continue speaking, and the trembling was not so strong, but these did not prevent her from finding a small note from her.

She read the above words.

Anne, who was sitting next to Lily, exchanged a look with Feli. They did not expect that the Holy See or the symbols and leaders of the Holy See would make such concessions because of Lily's ability (very similar to those that Rosalia once showed, but Lily did not need to perform atonement or conduct prayer parades, nor was it so gorgeous, but equally effective).

They arrived here as fast as possible for this weird negotiation - the two found that the various countermeasures they discussed on the plane did not seem to be useful. These two women of similar age have the same stubbornness and wisdom, and also know each other's bottom line and firmly stick to their own bottom line.

The confrontation between them is simple and sharp.

"But you are not sure that these promises can be fulfilled... You do not have any position, title, or identity in the Holy See... You are not even a nun who has made a formal vow," Lily raised her chin and said very seriously: "Even a cardinal, it is hard for me to believe that he can do this."

"Yes... only the Holy Father can do these, if he had no choice but to put down the burden of the world." Joan of Arc stared at her: "I am just a messenger, a messenger with olive branches and warning lightning."

"I saw the olive branch, what is lightning?"

"..." Joan of Arc hesitated for a while, stretched out his hands, and answered Lily's question softly as if he wanted to ask for some forgiveness.

This answer almost made the three people present jump together!~!
