"Who will be the new pope?"
The "audience" under the stage at this moment had a strong sense of curiosity.
Since the Thorn Event, the choice of the pope for the Bright Church in the New Continent has been a hot topic on the Mysterious Side. The original pope, Charles I, was astonishing. If it weren't for being jointly undermined by the Holy Prophet, the Holy Confessor, and a mysterious witch, Charles I would have gained unimaginable fame.
Later developments also proved that he was indeed an exceptional pope. He was crowned by the Lord of Light as the Angel of Guidance, Judgement, and Justice.
The Mysterious Side has been filled with speculation, with many archbishops and some old antiques or young strong individuals having supporters.
But at this moment, the audience realized they were wrong.
The new pope is a stranger?
