Chapter 843 Elected Consul(1/2)
Renne stepped down after saying that.
A low noise sounded in the chamber, and the expressions of more than 300 congressmen were very wonderful.
Many of them participated in the consul's votes many times, and some even participated dozens of times, but it was the first time that they had seen such a short speech as Rennes.
Most of the past candidates would make full use of these fifteen minutes to explain their ruling philosophy, governing the country, and promising what goals to achieve during their term of office, making certain commitments to parliamentarians and the people of the empire, and smearing their competitors, etc.
Renne didn't mention these things.
His words were not like canvassing speeches at all, but more like a declaration of victory, full of an unquestionable dictatorship and arrogance that made a few uncomfortable.
However, more members of the parliament were impressed by this domineering aura.
In a world dominated by extraordinary power, people do not have to worship the strong, but the strong themselves will worship the stronger.
No matter how wonderful the speech was, it seemed pale and powerless in the face of Rennes's strength and achievements.
So the other candidates gave up their speeches.
So Ren dares to be so arrogant.
On the rostrum, the three holy soul wizards looked at Renne's words and deeds with admiration. Even his mortal enemy Kelstone could not help but be moved. He looked Renne carefully, and his eyes showed a little praise. Of course, he was more wary of Renne, the enemy.
Ancivodaus was the most peaceful. He knew his students very well. After knowing Rennes' ambitions, he would not be surprised no matter what Rennes did.
"Quiet."
Tim Kennan shouted loudly, and the MPs quickly stopped and heard him announce: "Start the vote now and take the stage in the order of their seats."
He waved his hand and a cube with a length, width and height of about three meters appeared on the stage. This thing that looked like a room was the polling station.
It is made of metal, with countless runes engraved on the surface, and is arranged with multiple rune arrays, which can isolate various magical investigations and peeping thoughts, and is not affected by the control of the mind. It is transparent to the side below the stage, and the actions of the voter can be seen to ensure the openness, fairness and justice of the voting process.
There is a door on each side of the polling station, namely the entrance and the exit.
The Imperial parliamentarians entered and after completing the vote, they came out of another door.
The first Imperial Congressman came to power.
Renn recognized the other party. He was an alchemist from Ain Floating City. His name was Abnian. He was over a thousand years old, but he had not been promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard. Since the establishment of the Imperial Parliament, Abnian has been a member of parliament and is currently the oldest member of parliament.
Abnian was the first to take office in every vote.
Abnian, who was old-looking, walked up to the stage quickly and entered the polling station.
Through the glass on the front, the MPs saw Abnian walking into the polling station, a crystal-shaped gem appeared in front of him.
This gem is specially made. You can complete the input by holding it in your hand and silently reciting the corresponding serial number.
Each serial number corresponds to a candidate and cannot be changed after input.
And it will leave its own breath.
The consuls vote is a registered method, with one vote per person, and the Supreme Parliament can issue a vote for inspection afterwards, eliminating the uncertainty of voting and preventing some imperial MPs from scrambling to catch up.
Abnian took the hanging gem and paused for a moment. The gem in his hand flashed, indicating that the vote had been completed, and then the gem was released. It automatically teleported to a transparent but closed box, displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
He walked out of the polling station, and the second Imperial MP went in immediately.
Then there is the third, the fourth...
Rennes sat down at the stage and was very close to the polling station, his eyes calmly watching the Imperial Congressmen go up to vote, and on average, each person can complete it in less than ten seconds.
His eyes swept through the closed box where the gems were stored, and the eyes of full vision had already been opened.
The rune array of the polling station and the magic protection of the ballot box had no effect in his eyes. He directly saw through the inside of the gem and saw the serial number inside.
13,13,13…
All the Imperial Congressmen who had completed the voting vote voted for No. 13, which is their own serial number.
"It should be stable."
Rennes felt completely relieved.
The order of seats for members of parliament is arranged according to the time they entered the Imperial Parliament. There is no distinction between high and low, but the higher the order, the older the qualifications, the older they are. Most of them are from the Nathirs and the Balanced Sect. The members controlled by the Modus are younger, and the seats are close, and they belong to the young and strong.
Most of the members who voted in the front were from the Nathirs and the Balanced Ones, not shareholders of trading companies. Now they have voted for themselves, so there is no suspense.
Not long after, Otiluk came on stage.
The consul's candidate still has the right to vote. Otiluk is the first candidate to go up. He completed the vote without hesitation. When he stepped down, he glanced at Renn, his eyes a little complicated.
Renne nodded slightly to him.
The Eye of the Full View can see clearly, and No. 13 is shown in Otiluk's voting gem.
The Imperial parliamentarians came to power one by one, and cast their solemn votes under the supervision of the three Holy Soul Wizards.
The atmosphere is solemn and there are more and more gems in the ballot box.
Nearly an hour later, the vote was coming to an end.
Viola got up and her half-elf's amazing beauty attracted the attention of the Imperial Parliamentarians, but this attention lasted only a few seconds before being attracted by Rennes who followed behind. Rennes and Viola entered the Imperial Parliament at the same time, with seats connected in sequence and one of the most experienced members.
Rennes entered the polling station and quickly completed the vote.
He was followed by three members who had just entered the Imperial Parliament in recent years. In less than half a minute, the entire voting process ended.
“Issuing the invoice now.”
Tim Kennan walked to the side of the polling station, raised his hand to release a soul power, and suddenly, the glass wall on the front of the polling station turned into a magical image, with a row of candidate names listed below, from left to right, and there is a columnar container above each name.
The gems in the ballot box flew out from the air, shining light and projecting a number.
The first gem is No. 13.
It flashed into the magic image and put into the container above "Ren Augustus". It was like charging. The columnar container lit up one square at the bottom, and the number "1" was displayed on the top.
This means that Rennes gets a vote.
The gems were pulled out one by one, and the speed was very fast. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen of them were completed and all were cast to Rennes' name. The columnar container had lit up a small amount, and the number of votes was also rising rapidly, quickly exceeding 20 votes.
Tim Kennan did not stop and continued to issue the invoice.
Soon, Rennes' votes reached 30, 40, 70... When more than one hundred votes, all other candidates still failed to win a single vote.
The Imperial parliamentarians looked at each other and couldn't help but have a commotion.
They have never seen this.
In the past, some candidates had absolute advantages, such as the current consul for re-election and received support from factions, and other factions also negotiated interests, and the final vote rate exceeded 70%, or even 80%.
Even so, other candidates can get at least some votes, more or less, never a single situation will be there.
Invoice is still in progress.
More and more gems were thrown into Rennes' name, and the columnar containers were lit up from above, and the votes quickly approached 160 votes.
According to imperial law, candidates with more than half of the votes won the election.
The 319 Imperial Congressmen who attended the event, the criterion for winning was to get 160 votes. If no candidate received more than half of the votes, then the names of the candidates with the top three votes were handed over to the Supreme Council, and the Holy Souls wizards raised their hands to vote and elected the consul.
Of course, winners who receive more than half of the votes also need to be approved by the Supreme Parliament before they can take office.
There is no special situation, the only winner is the new consul, and the Supreme Parliament generally does not reject it. But it is not absolute. There was a situation in the history of the empire that won an election but was not passed in the Supreme Parliament vote.
Amid the surprised eyes of the Imperial Congressmen, Renn received more than 160 votes!
Slap sex!
The Imperial parliamentarians applauded at the same time. Rennes stood up and raised his hand to signal to the people, but did not speak because the invoice was not over yet.
Amid the continued warm applause, Rennes' votes were still rising rapidly.
It quickly exceeded 200 votes.
Two-thirds of the votes have been issued, and the other candidates still have not won a single vote. Their names are dull, making Renne's name even more shiny.
The Imperial parliamentarians stared at the magical image, their eyes full of incredible.
220 votes, 250 votes, 280 votes...
Renne's votes exceeded 300 mark, and he still received 100% votes. The Imperial congressmen couldn't help but hold their breath. There were still the last 19 votes left. Will there be a miracle?
After a few breaths, the last gem flashed out of the ballot box, radiating light, and in everyone's eyes, he threw himself into the container where Rennes's name was.
“Wow…”
The Imperial parliamentarians were in an uproar, and a miracle was really born.
Election unanimously!
This is the first time that the consul who was elected unanimously since the establishment of the Imperial Parliament has appeared in more than a thousand years ago. Everyone knows how difficult this is. Unanimously elected not only means the recognition of the Imperial Parliamentarians, but also conquer all competitors.
Even the consul with a high prestige is almost impossible to let competitors vote for themselves.
And Rennes did it!
There are a total of fifteen candidates in this election. Except for Rennes, the other fourteen competitors voted for Rennes, which is definitely unprecedented and has no future.
"Baobabababababa..."
More than 300 Imperial parliamentarians stood up and offered their highest respect to Rennes. The three holy soul wizards on the rostrum were also applauding.
To be continued...
