Chapter 312 311 The Rumor Is so "Real"

Chapter 312 311. The rumors are so “true”

The majestic Papal Tower area is quiet, and the leaves of the silver maple trees are piled up but no one is cleaning them - the fallen leaves of the Pope are also part of the autumn scenery.

Ever since the Pope fell ill for the second time, the hearts of everyone in the church have been being grasped by invisible hands.

Winter is coming, and everything dies. Last year, the Pope was blessed by the God of Glory, and he experienced the warmth of spring despite his serious illness... What about this year?

In front of the Time Corridor, the nuns in black silently guarded the tower behind them. At some unknown time, they and members of the Papal Knights began to kneel and pray facing the silver maple tree.

On the high tower, Laurend's hand was held tightly by Sera.

After only leaving for a short period of time, when he came back, Laurend's previously rosy face had turned pale. His flesh and blood seemed to have been severely sucked by a terrifying blood-sucking monster, and it was visibly shriveled and sunken.

Serra put her head on Laurend's hand and remained silent.

Laurend's hands were cold, and the late autumn wind was blocked by the window, but withering was already brewing in Laurend's body.

Laurent's winter is faster than everyone else's.

Seeing the gentle smile on Laurend's thin face, the sadness rising in the hearts of Lu Yu and Lulu was somewhat difficult to suppress.

The nun in black took out the list that the two of them had selected together from the secret compartment and handed it to Lu Yu solemnly.

"This is a gift from Laurende and I to you. Open it and take a look."

Lu Yu slowly unfolded the scroll. There were many names on it, including more than a hundred people.

He raised his head and looked at the black nun in confusion.

"The nuns in black are the majority, and the young people of the Papal Knights are a small minority." The nuns in black said, "For you, we have strictly screened their origins. Without exception, they are all orphans rescued by the Theocracy. And since he is not yet convinced of the glorious doctrine, his loyalty belongs only to Laurend.”

"Leave it to you, Lu Yu." Laurent's voice was weak, "They are all great children... but precisely because of this... they cannot stay in the Theocracy. The new pope needs a new team... Their Loyalty will only bring them unnecessary disaster... take them away...from the Theocracy."

"Your territory...your manor needs people, doesn't it...Look, I've prepared it for you, are you satisfied?"

Every word he uttered with difficulty hit Lu Yu's heart, and he choked up: "Satisfied..."

"Treat them well... They are all reliable and hard-working children..." the pope said. "You gave yourself a territory and a home, and give them a home... These fallen leaves flying in the wind will eventually need a home."

"Don't use such a blasphemous tone... You made it through last year, and you will definitely be able to do it this year too!"

"I know my body well...miracles don't happen every time. Living one more year allows me to see that Sera has a reliable partner around her...no longer alone...I am very satisfied. Maybe the God of Glory really exists... He fulfilled my wish."

Laurende added with a smile: "And if I don't say it now... I'm afraid I won't be able to say it later..."

Sierra, who never raised her head, said in a low voice: "Stop talking... Just say a few words less, it will be better for your health."

Laurend raised the hand held by Sera, touched her head, and rubbed the two drooping rabbit ears, his smile as warm as ever.

Lu Yu knew it was inappropriate, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Pope's choice..."

The nun in black nodded slightly: "It has been decided and will be announced soon."

Laurend said: "Your plan to take me away is perfect... Let's start setting up..."

Sera and Lu Yu nodded, leaving Lulu in the room to accompany Laurend, and immediately turned around and left.

Lulu looked at the backs of the two of them, hesitated to speak, then turned around and touched Laurend's kind face, and the ups and downs in her heart were instantly healed.

"Lulu." Laurende waved.

Lulu stepped forward obediently.

Laurent smiled and said: "They both love you deeply."

Lulu was stunned for a moment. She only understood the superficial meaning and laughed: "I am also very glad to know them."

Laurend and the nun in black looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Serra came to the Glory Cathedral. Today was a regular meeting, and the archbishop and high priest were both there.

Serra pushed the door open and attracted everyone's attention. She came to everyone as if no one else was there and announced lightly: "The candidate for the Pope has been decided and will be announced soon."

Everyone put down the scroll in their hands, and the nervousness and surprise in their eyes were clearly visible.

Already knowing that Serra could not be crowned Pope, everyone's thoughts were a little wild.

After Sera finished speaking, she left, but Archbishop Antonio of the Inquisition stopped her.

"I think you should know that your position as Chosen God will be retained, but the Theocracy will give birth to a new Chosen God in the future."

Serra knew what Antonio wanted to reveal: "I won't do anything to that divine choice, don't worry."

No one knows why Serra lost the qualification to compete for the Pope. The common speculation is that Serra really had some indescribable... entanglement with the glutton.

Ever since Sera brought the glutton Lu Yu to Meira, many things have left people confused.

At the birthday party of Storm Prince Zenil, he stood up for Lu Yu's servants for a moment and did not hesitate to offend Zenil.

He took Lu Yu back to his home and allowed him to live there for a long time without caring about the opinions of the outside world.

Take Lu Yu to the Pope's Tower in the name of "telling stories" to meet the Pope.

During this period, many people witnessed Sera and Lu Yu acting together and riding on the same dragon.

Not long ago, Sera was suddenly sent away from the Church by the Pope in the name of "missionary work", and at the same time, the glutton Lu Yu disappeared in Mela.

Putting all these things together, many people have already outlined the "original situation" in their minds.

There are rumors that Sera is pregnant and left the Church to avoid suspicion. To be honest, everyone sneered... But on the night when Sera lost her qualifications as Pope, this idea suddenly came to mind again...

Someone was secretly looking at Sera's flat belly, thinking about the authenticity of the rumors, and wondering how Lu Yu could take down this troublesome God's Chosen Lord...

Sera naturally felt the vague gazes of everyone gathered on her belly, but she was not annoyed and smiled faintly.

"You also think I have Lu Yu's child?"

Antonio started coughing, as if it was contagious. Archbishop Boulder of the Inquisition next to him was also coughing. This tacit understanding spread rapidly... The high-ranking officials of the Church kept coughing as if they had contracted a deadly infectious disease.

A group of people over 40 were burning with gossip, and were exposed in public by Sera. Even if they were usually calm and prudent, they were inevitably embarrassed at this time.

Sera smiled evilly and lifted her clothes, revealing her flat and smooth belly. The archbishop and the priests turned their heads and covered their faces.

"Actually, I really have Lu Yu's child. Do you want to come over and touch it and feel the child's heartbeat... oh... he just kicked me, it hurts."

"Stop it, Sera!"

David, who has always had a good relationship with Sera and has become the archbishop of the Executive Court, lowered his head and stopped him.

If ordinary people do this, most people will believe that the rumors are false...

But if Sera does this, everyone will only think that she is sure that everyone has to be proud and dare not verify it... She can be a sacred and dignified chosen one, or a troublesome devil. This is the truth that can only be seen at their level.

"Since I am leaving, I also want to say a few sincere words to everyone."

Sera pushed David away and sat in his seat. She didn't care that no one sat down around her, as if she was the protagonist here.

"In the last days of the Pope, I hope to be with him quietly. After he dies, I will leave the Church with the name of the glorious chosen one. Everything will have nothing to do with me. Everything I have in the Church will become history. Many years later, perhaps no one will remember that there was such a person as Sera Ophelia."

"Don't disturb my last time with Laurend. The one who is lucky enough to become the Pope in the future should also remember one thing... I have been bathed in glory and will not be your enemy, but... don't force me."

There was silence, and no one spoke.

Sera smiled and looked around at the silent crowd. She was very satisfied with the weight of the stone she threw into the lake. Now was a good time for her to say something else.

"Laurende has handed over the matters after his death to me. This will be the last thing I do in the Theocracy. I hope we can still cooperate happily as before."

Sera dared to call Laurende by his name, but the people present did not dare to be disrespectful. After all, this was a privilege for Sera, who was like Laurende's daughter.

Antonio, the oldest, glanced at the people present, sighed, and took the initiative to answer: "Sera's words are too unfamiliar."

"I have been dealing with diplomatic affairs for the Theocracy. I have traveled all over Mela and have seen too many farces. It is better to speak in an unfamiliar way now, so as to avoid regrets in the future when accidents that no one wants to see happen."

"You are also a child who grew up under our watch... Why do you speculate about us so much?" A high priest also sighed.

"Position changes people's thoughts." Sera said.

She walked to the altar of the God of Glory, picked up a cake and took a bite. Sera was very pleased with everyone's surprised eyes.

They didn't dare to blame themselves, and their hesitant look made Sera laugh wildly in her heart.

Walking to the door, Sera turned her head and said, "Actually, I also want to say goodbye to everyone. I hope that on that day, everyone can still smile at me like when I was a child."

The tenderness in the words touched everyone's heart.

This cute, stubborn, and excellent child was educated by Laurend, and each of them accompanied her on the road of growth...

After Sera left, sighs came one after another in the silent hall.

When Sera was no longer a threat to themselves, everyone was willing to keep some tenderness for her.

After all, she had the shadow of Laurend and their past memories.

Sera, who walked out of the temple, tried hard to hide her inner joy, and the corners of her mouth were constantly pressed down and raised.

The emotional foreshadowing was in place, the trailer had been issued, and the next step was the scene arrangement.

Lu Yu, holding the Pope's token, was questioned by the Pope's Knights because what Lu Yu said was simply unacceptable.

"All members of the Pope's Knights leave the Pope's Tower area."

In this way, only the black-clad nuns were left to guard the Pope.

This was an unprecedented transfer order!

The Pope's voice came out from the token held by Lu Yu, which puzzled the Pope's Knights, but they had no choice. When leaving the Pope's Tower, they looked back every few steps... They didn't understand why their respected Pope wanted to drive them away...

There's more later
