"Huh?" Hearing the voices of the people in the hall, the people who came with Li Huailin were shocked. What's going on? He just killed the Pope, and now you want him to be the Pope? Do you think this is a fight between monkeys on Monkey Mountain? You just killed your boss, and now you want him to be the new boss? This is too casual.
However, looking at the surrounding bishops, none of them seemed to be afraid of Li Huailin. Instead, their faces were full of devotion and worship. It was as if they were about to kneel and lick Li Huailin's boots. Of course, thinking about it this way made it even more terrifying. What method did Li Huailin use to subdue these bishops who had already been influenced (Nao) by the Church of Light? How could they not see it at all?
Of course, Li Huailin really didn't want to be the Pope. He was only here for the quest item. However, he now understood why these people wanted to withdraw from the Pope position. It was because the system notifications were exploding, and all kinds of favorability points were surging. He couldn't understand why. However, he wasn't even interested in the Emperor of the continent, so he wasn't interested in the Pope position. He didn't care about the persuasion of a large group of people. Instead, he waved at the Jade Emperor on the stage.
"Me?" The Summoning Jade Emperor pointed at himself and asked.
Li Huailin, who was on the stage, waved his hand and pointed at Dr. Lakwald, who was behind the Jade Emperor Summoning. The Jade Emperor Summoning understood and called out to Dr. Lakwald, then motioned for him to go on stage.
Dr. Lakwald hadn't recovered from the shock yet. This was a huge blow to him. To be honest, he didn't know where to start. He went on the stage with a confused expression. To be honest, he didn't know what Li Huailin was doing. Anyway, he couldn't understand it. Although he didn't understand it, Dr. Lakwald was now afraid of this guy. He could even kill the Pope with a single slap. If he asked you to go up, would you dare to not go up?
As soon as he got on the stage, he was immediately pulled over by Li Huailin. "Come, come and see. Is this the thing?"
Li Huailin handed over the Pope's hat. Dr. Lakwald picked it up and looked at it. Then he fiddled with it and nodded. "Yes, this disc is a relic of my ancestor."
Sure enough, it was the disc that Li Huailin had noticed. After Dr. Lakwald finished speaking, he used a little force, and the disc in front of him was removed. It wasn't broken, but it looked like there was some kind of mechanism behind it. After receiving the original disk, Dr. Lakwald immediately checked it again. Then, he nodded to Li Huailin to confirm again. "That's right, it's this one. It's exactly the same. Look at the back, there's our family's mark."
"Let me see." Li Huailin took it. He tried to take it off earlier, but he couldn't. Only Dr. Lakwald fiddled with it for a while. It seemed like the system's mission had been set. The original mission was probably for them to take the disc, not the entire hat.
Li Huailin took the disc and looked at it. He was blinded at first glance because the name of this thing was actually orange. In other words, this thing was at the level of a divine artifact.
Elemental Seal (Legendary): Damaged. Currently, it has no value.
Although the name was orange, this thing didn't look like a piece of equipment. It was different from other Legendary items. At present, this thing didn't have any attributes, and there wasn't any binding option. There was also no unsealing mission. It looked like an ordinary mission item. It was not that Li Huailin had never encountered such a situation before. He had seen things like purple stone tablets before.
Since it was an S-level hidden mission, of course, Li Huailin knew that the possibility of encountering a divine artifact was very high. This thing called Elemental Seal also proved this point. It seemed that the reward of this mission was indeed a divine artifact. His efforts were not in vain.
This thing was definitely what he was looking for. It couldn't be a fake. The name and color were all there was to it. Since he had obtained it, of course, Li Huailin had to continue with the mission. As for the things here, Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
He turned his head and looked to the side. There were a few old men sitting on his left. They should be the elders. The three people sitting on his right looked similar to the one he was wearing. They should be the other three Cardinals. Li Huailin glanced at them. One of the Cardinals was already an old man in his seventies. The other two were about fifty. Li Huailin also found someone who was pleasing to the eye at first glance. It was this Cardinal named Rick Melekden.
Of course, Li Huailin didn't know this person. Even if Li Huailin had come to the Vatican before, he didn't pay attention to this person. Of course, he didn't know that this person was originally the next Pope. The reason why Li Huailin picked this person was very simple. He was pleasing to the eye. Melekden was really pleasing to the eye. Although he wasn't handsome or cool, he didn't make people feel uncomfortable. This was probably the reason why he was able to get to this position.
"You, yes, you, come here." Li Huailin pointed at Bishop Melekden.
"Huh?" Bishop Melekden was obviously stunned. Of course, he didn't know why Li Huailin called him. However, calling him at this time usually wasn't a good thing. Melekden only thought about it for a moment, and he was a little scared. This guy had just killed Pope Carlo in front of him. Although he didn't know why he was very grateful to him, he was still a little scared. The current Pope had already been killed. Melekden was a pre-selected candidate, so wouldn't it be his turn?
Melekden stood up a little shakily. He thought for a moment and immediately said, "Bishop Ruolin, I sincerely support you as the next Pope. I have no intention of fighting with you."
"Who the f * ck told you that I'm going to be the Pope? Come here." Li Huailin waved his hand again.
"…" Melekden really didn't believe it. He was panicking, but there was nothing he could do. How could he not go when Li Huailin called him? He couldn't run away now. He had no choice but to go. Every step he took felt like he was going to the execution ground.
"Can't you hurry up?" Li Huailin frowned. He looked pleasing to the eye, but why was it so troublesome? He didn't even have much time left, and this guy was still walking so slowly.
Hearing Li Huailin's urging, Melekden had no other choice. He quickly ran to Li Huailin's side. Just as he stood still and thought about what to do, Li Huailin suddenly put his hand on his head. Melekden's heart screamed. Was he going to be killed too? However, it was too late to dodge. He closed his eyes and felt something on his head. When he opened his eyes slightly, he realized that it was Li Huailin who had placed the Pope's hat on his head.
"Bishop Ruolin, this …" Melekden didn't understand. Why was it on his head? It wasn't something that could be worn casually.
The entire hall immediately quieted down. No one knew what was going on. Didn't they just elect Li Huailin? Why did Li Huailin put the Pope's hat on Bishop Melekden's head? What was going on?
Without waiting for them to react, Li Huailin immediately said, "Okay, you're the Pope from now on. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Huh?" Melekden was stunned. I'm the Pope? What was going on? The other bishops were also stunned. They didn't know what was going on.
Of course, Li Huailin was just trying to get away. He was very busy and was about to go on a mission. He didn't have time to argue with these people, so he chose the simplest method, which was to throw the blame. Li Huailin didn't know what the consequences of his actions would be. He left the rest of the aftermath to Melekden to take care of, and then he ran away. Li Huailin didn't know what consequences his actions would bring.
Yes, Li Huailin's identity was not ordinary now, so no one thought that Li Huailin's action was just a simple action. After thinking about it for a while, the bishops in the hall slowly understood what he meant.
"So that's how it is." A bishop nodded. From his point of view, Li Huailin did this because of the current situation. Li Huailin was now the Emperor of the Continent. The Holy See hadn't said anything yet, so Li Huailin was dissatisfied with this. So he came here today to deal with this matter. First was the punishment. Pope Carlo, who didn't respond before, was of course hung on the ground. The new Pope Li Huailin didn't succeed him, but instead handed it over to Bishop Melekden.
The most interesting thing was that Melekden was actually appointed by Li Huailin. Yes, Li Huailin just announced that Melekden would succeed him. To them, this was a title conferral. Therefore, everyone understood that the most important point that Li Huailin wanted to make clear was that the Radiant Church's Pope should be conferred a title by the continent's Emperor. In other words, Li Huailin wanted to remind everyone of the hierarchy.
Thinking of this, everyone understood what Li Huailin meant. Although this wasn't Li Huailin's original intention, it was what they understood.
"We agree that Bishop Melekden will succeed the position of Pope." After giving them a few looks, a few bishops immediately said, "Do you recognize the new pope that Li Huailin helped up? This is where you stand. If you don't stand properly, you'll be in trouble. The former pope, Carlo, is still lying on the ground. Most of the bishops can still see the situation."
"Hmm, very good. I'll leave it to you." Of course, Li Huailin didn't think too much. He patted Melekden, who was still in a daze, and pulled Dr. Lakwald away.
