Obviously, the general trend can be seen from this round of voting.

But everyone discovered something strange.

That means Celia actually has seven votes?
There are actually two more votes than before.

Who is it?

Judging from the current 120 candidates.

At least 81 votes are needed to be elected Pope.

But looking at the current situation, whether it is conservatives or liberals.

Both sides are far apart.

After all, even people in the same faction have different ideas.

Maybe you think this candidate is suitable to be Pope.

I think the other one is suitable.

Hence the inconsistent voting situation.

Only on the first day of voting.

No one thought that it would be voted out within one day.

But everyone can see that Celia has two more votes.

Don’t underestimate these two simple votes.

This represents a certain trend.

The conservatives felt inexplicably uneasy when they saw that Celia had two more votes.

"It's just two votes. It won't affect the overall situation at all."

"It must be the liberal side. They think differently."

I can vote for Celia.

Everyone present thought they were liberals, after all, they had proposed it a long time ago.

Want to allow female clergy.

So they take it for granted that this is what the liberals voted for.

There are some people who do not want an ultra-conservative pope.

But they can't stand the current liberals.

After all, the previous Pope was a liberal.

Some of these interests simply do not align with their ideas.

So some of them think that it would be a good idea to vote for some unknown candidates.

As for Celia's two extra votes.

Even Celia herself was confused.

Why would anyone vote for her?

Soon the two rounds of voting in the morning were over.

These bishops cannot go out at will and can only stay in the Sis Church.

Whether it's sleeping or eating, I can only stay in here.

It's just that so many popes have been elected over the years.

This set of procedures is already very complete.

So living here for a year or two is not a problem.

So after the two rounds of voting in the morning.

These bishops began to leave the voting place one after another.

Some of them went to lunch, while others held various small meetings in the corridors and other places.

Everyone is discussing how to vote.

"I think it would be better to elect Cardinal Parolin."

"He has always been the right-hand man of His Holiness Francis."

"No, I don't think he's very devout to God."

"If we continue to elect him, wouldn't that mean we are still on Francis' side?"

Obviously, everyone is not very satisfied with Parolin.

On the other side are the conservatives.

"I don't want to see a liberal pope again."

"Look at what a mess this damn Francis has made of the Vatican since he came to power."

“Even the most traditional rituals of the Mass are banned.”

"This is cutting off the roots of our Church!"

“Why can Christianity survive till today?”

“It’s all because we obey God’s teachings.”

Everyone has a different opinion.

It is basically impossible to find the greatest common divisor.

But just as voting was about to begin in the afternoon.

An unexpected guest arrived.

They are several cardinals from the United States.

However, these cardinals are vaguely led by someone.

The person walking in the front was dressed very simply, barefoot and wearing a white robe, with four iron needle-like objects sticking out of his limbs.

If you look closely, you can see that his feet are actually some distance from the ground.

The man was suspended in the air.

The person who came was Anderson, the leader of the spiritual society.

In fact, in a broad sense, spiritual societies are also part of Christianity.

It's just Protestantism.

Traditional Catholicism is now gradually declining in the United States.

There are more Protestants.

Standing outside the Church of the Sith.

They are some guarding paladins.

Their role is not just to guard the cardinals inside.

More importantly, prevent them from sneaking out.

After all, the entire secret meeting process needs to be isolated from the outside world.

So these paladins are both guards and monitors.

"Stop." The Knights Paladin directly stopped several cardinals led by Anderson.

One of the cardinals said in a loud voice, "We are here to participate in the election of the Pope."

"If you know what's good for you, don't block the road," said another cardinal dissatisfiedly.

But the Paladin Leader sneered, "The election has already started inside."

"The two rounds of voting this morning have concluded."

"You are already late."

"According to the regulations, you cannot participate in this papal election."

There is a rule in the Vatican that as long as the secret meeting begins.

You need to be completely isolated from the outside world.

There can be no exchange of information.

Prevent external information and people from influencing the election of the Pope.

So once you start, no matter what.

No one outside is allowed to go in, and no one inside is allowed to go out.

Therefore, it is totally against the rules for Anderson and the others to come here now.

Anderson just smiled slightly, his voice filled with infinite tenderness, "We are all children of the Lord, we are all brothers and sisters."

"Might as well get out of the way and let us in."

"May God bless you." Anderson prayed and made the sign of the cross on his chest.

Anderson now looks exactly like a respected charlatan.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave people the feeling that he had been immersed in the church for a long time.

He looks very pious.

But there was no way the Paladins would give way.

"Get out of here quickly."

"Otherwise, we will hand you over to the Inquisition on charges of interfering with the election of the Pope." The Chief Paladin said sternly.

They looked like they were here to cause trouble.

The Paladin Leader did not fail to notice the abnormality on Anderson's body.

Saw Anderson flying.

But in the Vatican, there are all kinds of people who possess different mind blades.

An extraordinary person that is rarely seen by the outside world.

In fact, it is not that rare in the modern Vatican.

After all, the Vatican’s believer base is too large.

More people than any other country.

In addition, the threshold for Mind Blade is lower, so the extraordinary people in the Holy See are not too rare.

The Chief Paladin himself is the owner of a mind blade.

So he didn't think Anderson was anything special.

Anderson saw that his words had no effect.

"I'm sorry."

"I will ask you to go to God."

"Amen." After Anderson said this, tremendous power burst out from his body.

Directly control all the Paladins at the scene.

Every paladin stood there like a wooden stake, motionless.

I watched Anderson and his group walk in.

The Paladin Leader felt as if his entire body was covered in cement, unable to move.

The terrifying force directly imprisoned him in place.

There is no power to resist at all. (End of this chapter)
