Chapter 843

Name:Warhammer Wizard Author:Emperor
Ryan stepped down after speaking.

There was a murmur in the chamber, and the expressions of more than 300 congressmen were very exciting.

Many of them participated in the Consul voting many times, and some even participated in dozens of times, but it was the first time they saw such a short speech as Rennes.

Most of the previous candidates would make full use of these 15 minutes to explain their governing philosophy and policies, promise what kind of goals they would achieve during their term of office, make certain promises to congressmen and the people of the empire, and incidentally criticize and smear Competitors and more.

Ryan didn't say a word about these things.

His words were not at all like a canvassing speech, but more like a declaration of victory, full of an undoubted dictatorship and arrogance that made a few people uncomfortable.

However, more congressmen were overwhelmed by this domineering.

In a world dominated by extraordinary power, people do not have to worship the strong, and the strong themselves will also worship the stronger.

No matter how wonderful the speech was, it paled in front of Rennes' strength and achievements.

So the other candidates gave up speaking.

So Ren dared to be so arrogant.

On the podium, the three holy soul wizards looked at Ren's words and deeds with admiration. Even Kelstone, the mortal enemy, couldn't help being moved. He looked at Ren carefully, and there was a bit of approval in his eyes. Of course, he was more concerned about Lei En. En this vigilance of the enemy.

Anse Wodos is the calmest. He knows his students very well. After knowing Rennes' ambitions, he will not be surprised no matter what Rennes does.

"Quiet."

Tim Kennan yelled loudly, and the congressmen quickly stopped their voices, and heard him announce: "Now start voting, and come to power in accordance with the order of their seats."

With a wave of his hand, a cube with a length, width, and height of about three meters appeared on the stage. This room-like thing was a polling station.

Its whole body is made of metal, with countless runes engraved on the surface, and a multi-layered rune circle is arranged, which can isolate all kinds of magic detection and peep thoughts, and is not affected by mind control. The side facing the audience is transparent , you can see the actions of voters to ensure the openness, fairness and justice of the voting process.

There is a door on each side of the polling station, which is the entrance and exit respectively.

The imperial councilors entered it, and after finishing voting, they came out from another door.

The first Reichsman came to power.

Ren recognized the other party. He was an alchemy sage from Ain Floating Void City. His name was Abnian. He was over a thousand years old, but he had not been promoted to a holy soul wizard. Abnian has been a Member of Parliament since the establishment of the Imperial Diet and is currently the oldest Member of Parliament.

Abnian is the first to come to power in each voting session.

The old-looking Abnian stepped onto the stage swiftly and entered the polling station with a steady pace.

Through the front glass, MPs saw a crystal-like gem appear in front of Abnian as he walked into the polling station.

This kind of gemstone is specially made, and you can complete the input by holding the corresponding serial number in your hand.

Each serial number corresponds to a candidate and cannot be changed after being entered.

And it will leave its own breath.

Consuls vote by name, one person, one vote, and the Supreme Council can check the votes after the event, eliminating the uncertainty of voting and preventing certain imperial members from taking advantage of troubled waters.

Abnian took down the hanging gem, paused for a moment, the gem in his hand flashed, the representative had completed the voting, and then released the gem, it was automatically transported into a transparent but closed box, displayed in front of everyone .

He walked out of the polling station, followed by the second Reich MP.

Then the third, the fourth...

Ryan sat under the stage very close to the polling station, his eyes were calm, and he calmly watched each of the imperial councilors go up to vote. On average, each person completed it in less than ten seconds.

His eyes scanned the closed box where the gems were kept, and the all-seeing eye had already been opened.

The rune circle of the polling station and the magic protection of the ballot box had no effect in his eyes. He saw the serial number inside the gemstone directly.

13, 13, 13...

The imperial councilors who have already voted have all voted for No. 13, which is their serial number.

"It should be stable."

Ren was completely relieved.

The seat order of the MPs is arranged according to the time when they entered the Imperial Council, and there is no distinction between high and low, but the higher the order, the older the seniority, most of them are Netherites and Balancers, and the MPs of the Modus are usually They are relatively young, and the order of seats is close, belonging to the young and strong faction.

Most of the MPs who voted earlier were from the Nether faction and the Balance faction, and they were not shareholders of the trading company. Now they all voted for themselves, so there is no suspense.

Not long after, Otiluke took the stage.

Candidates for the Consul still have the right to vote. Otiluke was the first candidate to go up. He completed the vote without hesitation. When he stepped down, he glanced at Rennes with complicated eyes.

Ren nodded slightly to him.

The all-seeing eye sees clearly that Otiluke's voting gem shows number 13.

The imperial councilors came to power one by one, and under the supervision of the three holy soul wizards, they cast their own solemn votes.

The atmosphere is solemn and solemn, and more and more gems are in the ballot box.

After nearly an hour, the voting draws to a close.

Viola got up to go on stage, and the stunning beauty of the half-elf attracted the attention of the members of the empire, but this kind of attention only lasted for a few seconds, and all of them were attracted by Ren who followed closely on the stage. Ren and Viola entered the Imperial Parliament at the same time, and their seats were consecutive, and they were also one of the most junior members.

Lane entered the polling station and quickly completed the vote.

Behind him were three members of parliament who had just entered the Imperial Parliament in the past few years. In less than half a minute, the entire voting process was over.

"Voting now."

Tim Kenan walked to the side of the polling station, raised his hand and released a wave of soul power. Immediately, the glass wall in front of the polling station turned into a magical image, and a row of candidates' names were listed below, from left to right, every Each name has a columnar container above it.

The gems in the ballot box flew out of the air, burst into light, and projected a number.

The first jewel is number 13.

It flashed into the magic image and was thrown into the container above "Ren Augustus". As if charging, the bottom of the columnar container lit up a grid, and the number "1" was displayed on the top.

This represents Wren getting one vote.

The gems flew out one by one at a very fast speed. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen gemstones were voted on, and all of them were voted for Ren's name. Got 20 votes.

Tim Kennan didn't stop and continued to vote.

Soon, Ryan's votes reached 30, 40, 70... When it exceeded one hundred votes, all the other candidates still had no votes.

The imperial councilors looked at each other, and there was a commotion.

They've never seen this happen.

In the past, there were also some candidates who had absolute advantages. For example, the incumbent consul was re-elected and received support from factions, and other factions also negotiated interests, and finally won more than 70% of the votes, and may even reach 80%.

Even so, other candidates at least get some votes, more or less, never alone.

Billing is still in progress.

More and more gemstones were put into Ren's name, and the columnar container lit up one by one from the bottom to the top, and the number of votes quickly approached 160.

According to imperial law, the candidate who received more than half of the votes won the election.

There were 319 Reichstags present, and the criterion for winning the election was to get 160 votes. If no candidate gets more than half of the votes, then the names of the top three candidates will be submitted to the Supreme Council, and the holy soul wizards will vote with a show of hands to elect the consul.

Of course, the winner with more than half of the votes must also be approved by the Supreme Council before he can take office.

Without special circumstances, the only winner is the new consul, and the Supreme Council will generally not veto it. But it is not absolute. In the history of the empire, there was a situation in which the election was won, but in the end it was not passed in the vote of the Supreme Council.

Under the amazed eyes of the members of the Empire, Rennes won more than 160 votes!

Clap clap!

The members of the Empire applauded unanimously, and Ren stood up and raised his hand to the people, but he didn't speak, because the counting of votes was not over yet.

Amid the continuous warm applause, Rennes' votes are still rising rapidly.

It quickly broke through 200 votes.

Two-thirds of the votes had been counted, and the other candidates still had no votes, and their names were dimmed, making Wren's name shine brighter.

The imperial councilors stared at the magic image closely, their eyes full of disbelief.

220 votes, 250 votes, 280 votes...

The number of votes for Rennes broke through the 300 mark, still 100% of the votes. The Imperial MPs held their breath involuntarily. There are still 19 votes left. Will there be a miracle?

After a few breaths, the last gem flashed out from the ballot box, shining brightly, and under everyone's gaze, it was thrown into the container where Ren's name was.

"Wow..."

The imperial councilors were in an uproar, and a miracle really happened.

Elected unanimously!

This is the first time that a consul has been elected unanimously since the Imperial Parliament was established more than a thousand years ago. Everyone knows how difficult it is. To be elected unanimously means not only the approval of the imperial parliamentarians, but also the convincing of all competitors.

No matter how prestigious the consul is, it is almost impossible for his competitors to vote for him.

And Ryan did it!

There are a total of fifteen candidates in this election. Except for Rennes, the other fourteen contenders all voted for Rennes, which is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.

"Papa papa..."

More than 300 imperial councilors stood up and paid the highest respect to Rennes, and the three holy soul wizards on the rostrum also applauded.

At this moment, everyone focused on Rennes.

Although Ren had known the voting results in advance with his all-seeing eyes, he was also surprised that he would be elected unanimously. In his opinion, it is not surprising that other candidates were convinced. They participated in the revenge action together, and it is normal for them to vote for themselves after witnessing their achievements.

What really surprised him was that all the councilors from the Netherist faction also voted for him.

One-third of the Imperial Councilors are controlled by the Nesser faction.

But not united.

Ren once made a list, some of which were members of the Floating City of Nether, and obeyed the orders of the Floating City, not Kelstone.

There are also some who have joined the trading company. After investigation, I think they can be wooed, and they have exchanged the number of shareholders for voting.

Some of them came from the Floating City of Ain and followed the great sage Congerald. Because he resurrected the sage Chanian, the relationship between the two parties has drawn a lot, and they are willing to vote for themselves.

The rest are diehards.

There are about forty members of these councilors, and they are completely under the command of Kelstone, the Duke of Redstone. Rennes strategically abandoned these councilors and did not do much work.

However, they voted themselves.

Ren looked at Kelstone on the stage, and this mortal enemy was also looking at him. The other party noticed his gaze, and there was no hostility in the past. He nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Kelstone offered kindness.

This surprised Ren. The eyes of the soul observed the other party and found that Kelstone's hostility towards him was still there. The color of the soul was red, but it was not as red and black as before, indicating that the hostility had subsided a lot and was no longer so strong.

"what's the situation?"

Ren was at a loss.

I and Kelstone have long been immortal, and there has been no intersection in the past few years, but in private, the two sides have tried their best. Kelstone tried to kill himself many times, and he kept giving Kelstone Stumble and destroy the opponent's floating city and territory.

Why all of a sudden, Kelstone's position softened?

Is he cowardly?

Ren immediately denied this speculation. With Kelstone's arrogant and vengeful character, he would never bow to anyone, let alone admit defeat.

He even dared to plot against Master Ogulev, so how could he give in to himself?

The only possibility is that Kelstone is planning a bigger conspiracy, but it will take time. Now that he is powerful, his strength has skyrocketed, and he has the holy weapon holy blood amber, he can only avoid the edge temporarily and show his favor through this vote. Paralyze yourself and gain room and time for relaxation.

Ren immediately thought of one thing.

Kelstone has been conducting a certain magical experiment for many years, and no one except himself knows the content of this magical experiment.

His backward gesture must have something to do with this magic experiment!

"Congratulations, Speaker Ren."

"Congratulations to Speaker Rennes for becoming the first unanimously elected consul."

Ren was still thinking about Kelstone's conspiracy, and the surrounding imperial councilors congratulated him one after another. He had to put his mind away, smiled, and responded: "Thank you for your support. Thank you for voting for me. For every vote, I will do my best so that you will not regret your choice today."

He didn't act too excited, and the process was still short of the last step.

That is the vote of the Supreme Council.

The three holy soul wizards on the stage had disappeared, and the congressmen knew that the holy soul wizards were voting by show of hands, and the results would come out soon.

Sure enough, a few minutes later.

The figure of Tim Kenan, the Duke of Greyhawk, returned to the rostrum and announced loudly: "The Supreme Council has passed unanimously, and Ren Augustus has been elected as the 120th and 45th consul of the empire!"
