Inner wall area, in a side hall of the monastery.
"Elder, an urgent secret letter has just been sent from the outer wall area."
A middle-aged man wearing a white monk's robe said respectfully in a low voice.
At the same time, he held up both hands and handed over the black secret letter he had received.
Stuart, who was dealing with several documents, frowned slightly and raised his hand to take them.
The middle-aged man immediately took small steps forward and handed it to him.
Opening the black secret letter, Stuart quickly glanced at it.
His old eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light, "That old Richelieu actually dared to privately pass on the position of Pope for so many years.
Pope, he thought his wings were hardened."
"Elder, in my opinion, there is probably some reason for this."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and said.
Stuart frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Didn't the five supervisors come back with news?
They didn't know about such a big thing, or did they say that they had been killed?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head even further, "My subordinates think so too."
Stuart slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, kneading the secret letter in his palms, "Being able to kill five supervisors quietly and control Richelieu is at least a quasi-pioneer level master.
Others What is the reaction of the forces?
Can you guess which force secretly intervened in the outer wall area?"
"This is still under investigation by my subordinates," the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
Stuart stared down at him.
After a moment, he slowly looked away and said coldly: "Let Delphine take Francis and the others to the outer wall area to investigate, even though this is a backward barbarian land eroded by radiation. , but it is also an important part of our strategic plan.
We must not let others plunder it so easily, let alone snatch the fruit from our hands.
Hmph, we have to cut off his hand."
"Yes."
The middle-aged man felt slightly ashamed and lowered his head in agreement.
After the succession ceremony, the name of the new Pope Barton was immediately published in major newspapers and periodicals, spreading to all corners of the outer wall area.
For a time, except for the underground miners in the slums and the adventurers who went out to pick up gold in the radiation zone, almost everyone People don’t know.
Accompanied by Richelieu, Barton carefully dealt with the big shots sent by all forces, and then was taken by Richelieu to the Holy Temple of Light where the Pope lived and where Richelieu once lived.
As soon as he entered the Holy Light Palace, Barton didn't have time to marvel at the majesty and splendor of this "bedroom" before he saw a familiar figure sitting on the throne.
However, although the latter's face was familiar, the temperament he exuded was the same as his memory.
The kind-hearted young man in the story is completely different.
Despite this, he didn't think about it and ran over quickly in excitement, saying: "Dee, Dean, I have really become the Pope."
"Presumptuous" Kaqi, who was standing next to Dudian, immediately yelled, "How do you call my young master?"
Dudian raised his hand slightly to indicate that it was okay.
Barton was startled for a moment, then realized what he was feeling.
The intense joy and excitement in his heart suddenly came to his senses.
He suddenly remembered that this scene had been predicted by Dudian seven days ago.
In other words, all of this was done under his arrangement.
Thinking of He couldn't help but feel deep awe in his heart.
He had seen the shocking scene where countless people looked up when he took the stage.
He clearly knew how lofty and great the position he was sitting in was, but such a great position, in front of Dudian, Still seems insignificant.
"Master."
Barton immediately lowered his head and shouted like he did when he was training with the Lane family.
"You and I are friends, there's no need to be like this."
Dudian waved.
Barton is no longer the ignorant boy he was before.

How could he really believe Dudian's politeness?
He immediately shook his head and said: "Master, it is my honor that you are willing to let me be your brother.
Without you, there would be no one."
Today, you will always be my loyal young master."
He said, bowing his head and saluting.
Dudian stood up immediately, held his arm and said, "You will always be my brother.
It is my honor that you are willing to believe in me."
Looking at Dudian's sincere eyes, Barton's eyes were slightly moist and he was very moved.
Kaqi saw Dudian's uncharacteristic appearance and couldn't help but shook his head secretly, curling his lips in his heart, hypocritical and shameless Dudian said: "I came to you today mainly to protect you."
"Protect me" Barton was startled, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart.
Richelieu, who was watching silently from behind, had a glimmer of light in his eyes and lowered his head in silence.
Dudian stared at him and said slowly: "You should know the truth of the equivalence of giving and receiving.
To be honest, I have thought about it for a long time for you to sit in this position.
It is not easy to be the Pope.
You have to face darkness all the time.
The assassination of believers and the assassination of other forces, Lord Richelieu must be very aware of this, don’t you think so?”
Richelieu looked up at him, then looked at Barton next to him, and nodded slightly, "Yes, honor and sacrifice coexist.
When you get this honor, you must be prepared to sacrifice at any time."
Hearing this, Barton suddenly became a little nervous, but he was embarrassed to show it, but with his experience, he couldn't hide his thoughts.
Dudian saw his thoughts, stared at him, and said: "Master Richelieu is right.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Are you afraid?"
Barton looked at Dudian's deep and undisturbed eyes, and suddenly felt a trace of courage welling up in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid."
Dudian patted his shoulder and nodded: "Very good, you don't have to worry.
I'm here to protect you.
With me here, no one can hurt you unless I die."
A stream of heat surged out of Barton's heart, and he said movedly: "Don't say that, I will die even if I die.
You gave me my life in the first place.
If I sacrifice for you, at least I will repay the favor."
Du Di'an silently recited these two words in his heart, and at the same time said thank you to one person, that is Aunt Dai from Meishan Orphanage.
The moral idea of repaying kindness was taught to these orphans by Aunt Dai.
"You will send an order to the Temple of Elements later and invite me to discuss magic.
In this case, I will be able to live here openly and protect you from now on."
Dudian said.
Barton nodded heavily.
Richelieu sighed secretly, knowing that Dudian was going to extend his finger to the core institution of the Holy See, the Temple of Elements.
That night, lights were brightly lit all over the business district.
All the pubs and streets, as well as every household while eating, were talking about today's papal succession.
In particular, the six reforms announced by Barton were discussed by many squires, nobles and Rich businessmen talk about it.
The ladies and gentlemen of these squires and nobles were even more curious about Barton's age, appearance and other information.
"The new pope is indeed as great as Master Antonia sang.
From now on, our lives will be at least twice as rich."
"Yes, the Holy See of Light is good.
It is much stronger than the military.
Every year they have to fight for military pay."

"The military is nothing.
They start fights between nobles and ask us for money.
It's disgusting."
"Shh, keep your voice down, let the people in the military know about it, and be careful about arresting you and putting you in a dark cell."
"That's right, let's talk about the new pope.
I heard that a legendary knight in the Knights Hall has publicly praised the new pope's greatness.
I heard that the new pope is not very old, he is still a young man.
Tsk tsk ” "To have such talent and glory at such a young age is even scarier than the legendary magical genius Du Dian.
They are all young heroes."
"Yes, I thought that the magical genius was already a once-in-a-century figure, with unprecedented achievements at a young age.
I didn't expect that the new pope would be the same, but why haven't I heard any news about him before?"
"What do you know?
The Holy See of Light must have cultivated him as the next pope a long time ago.
How could he be exposed so easily?
Unless they are out of their minds."
"Yes, if the dark cultists knew that such a person was the next pope, they would not send people to assassinate them every day."
“This brother still sees things thoroughly.”
"Thank you, everyone, we should drink a toast to this great new pope."
"cheers" There were countless heroic drinks in the tavern, and glasses clinked
