Chapter 843: Elected consul

Ryan stepped down after speaking.
There was a low noise in the chamber, and the expressions of more than 300 members were all wonderful.
Many of them have participated in many consul votes, and some have even participated dozens of times. However, this is the first time I have seen such a short speech as Rennes.
Most candidates in the past will make full use of these fifteen minutes to explain their own ideas and policies for governing the country, what goals they promise to achieve during their tenure, and make certain promises to parliamentarians and the people of the empire. Discrimination of competitors and so on.
Renn said nothing about these things.
His words were not like a canvassing speech at all, but more like a declaration of victory, full of an undoubted dictatorship and arrogance that made a few people uncomfortable.
However, more parliamentarians were convinced by this domineering.
In a world dominated by extraordinary powers, people do not have to worship the strong, and the strong themselves will worship the stronger.
No matter how wonderful a speech, in front of Rennes's strength and achievements, it seems pale and weak.
So other candidates gave up their speeches.
So Renn dare to be so arrogant.
On the rostrum, the three holy spirit wizards were very impressed with Ren's words and deeds. Even the mortal enemy Kelston couldn't help but moved. They looked at Renn carefully, and his eyes showed some approval. Of course, he was more towards Lei. Well the enemy's vigilance.
Anse Verdaus is the most peaceful. He knows his students very well. After knowing Renn's ambition, he will not be surprised no matter what Renn does.
"Quiet."
Tim Kenan yelled loudly, and the MPs hurriedly closed their voices and listened to him announce: "Now we will start voting and we will go to the stage according to the order of their seats."
With a wave of his hand, a cube measuring about three meters in length, width and height appeared on the stage. This room-like thing was a polling station.
It is made of metal, with countless runes engraved on the surface, and multiple rune arrays, which can isolate various spell detection and prying thoughts, and are not affected by spiritual 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 an entrance and an exit.
The empire members entered it, and after they finished voting, they exited through another door.
The first imperial congressman came to power.
Ren recognized the other party. He was an alchemist sage from Aion Floating City. His name was Abunion. He was over a thousand years old, but he was not promoted to the Holy Spirit Wizard. Abunion has been a member of Parliament since the establishment of the Reichstag, and is currently the oldest member of Parliament.
Every vote, Abu Nian is the first to come to power.
The old-faced Abunion walked steadily, and quickly stepped onto the stage and entered the polling station.
Through the glass on the front, the members saw that when Abnian walked into the polling station, a crystal-like gem appeared in front of him.
This kind of gem is specially made, hold it in your hand and read the corresponding serial number silently to complete the input.
Each serial number corresponds to a candidate and cannot be changed after input.
And will leave its own breath.
The consul voting is a registered method, one person, one vote, and the Supreme Council can issue votes afterwards for inspection, which eliminates the uncertainty of voting, so as to prevent some imperial congressmen from fishing in trouble.
Abunion took the dangling gem and paused. The gem in his hand flashed to indicate that the vote had been completed. Then he loosened the gem. It was automatically transferred to a transparent but closed box and displayed in front of everyone. .
He walked out of the polling station, and the second imperial congressman entered immediately.
Then the third, the fourth...
Rehn sat in the audience very close to the polling station, his eyes calm and calm, watching the imperial congressmen go up to vote, on average, each person could complete it in less than ten seconds.
His eyes swept across the closed box where the gems were stored, and the all-seeing eye had already been opened.
The rune array and the magic protection of the ballot box at the polling station did not have any effect in his eyes. He looked directly through the inside of the gem and saw the serial number inside.
13, 13, 13...
The imperial congressmen who have finished voting all voted for the 13th, which is their own serial number.
"It should be stable."
Renn felt completely relieved.
The order of the seats of the members is arranged according to the time of entering the imperial assembly, and there is no difference between them, but the higher the order, the older the seniority. Most of them are Netherites and balancers, and members controlled by Mordus. Relatively young, the order of seats is close, and they belong to the young and strong faction.
Most of the councillors who voted in the front were Netherites and balancers, not shareholders of trading companies. Now that they voted for themselves, there would be no suspense.
Soon after, Ottiluk came to power.
The consul candidate still has the right to vote. Ottyluk was the first candidate to go up. He completed the vote without hesitation. When he stepped down, he glanced at Rennes, his eyes were a bit complicated.
Renn nodded slightly to him.
The All-Seeing Eye can see clearly that the number 13 is shown in Ottyluk’s voting gem.
The empire members came to power one by one, and cast their solemn vote under the supervision of the three holy soul wizards.
The atmosphere is solemn and there are more and more gems in the ballot box.
Almost an hour later, the voting was drawing to a close.
Viola got up to the stage, and the half-elf's stunning beauty attracted the attention of the imperial congressmen, but this attention only lasted a few seconds before it was all attracted by Renn, who came to the stage behind him. Ren and Viola entered the Imperial Assembly at the same time, and their seats were connected in sequence, and they were also one of the most junior members.
Ren entered the polling station and quickly completed the vote.
After him are three members who have just entered the imperial parliament in recent years. In less than half a minute, the entire voting process is over.
"Invoice now."
Tim Kenan walked to the side of the polling station and raised his hand to release a burst of soul power. Suddenly, the glass wall on the front of the polling station turned into a magical image, and a row of candidates’ names were listed below, from left to right, each There is a columnar container above each name.
The jewel in the ballot box flew out of the air, bursting into light, and projecting a number.
The first gem is number 13.
It flashed into the magical image and dropped into the container above "Rene Augustus", as if it was charging. The bottom of the columnar container lit up, and the number "1" was displayed on the top.
This means that Rennes got a vote.
The gems flew out one by one, and the speed was very fast. In an instant, a dozen of them were invoiced. All of them were voted for Ren’s name. The columnar container has been lit up for a short period of time, and the number of votes is also rising rapidly. Got 20 votes.
Tim Kenan did not stop and continued to bill.
Soon, Rennes's votes reached 30, 40, 70... When it exceeded 100 votes, all the other candidates still had no votes.
The imperial congressmen looked at each other, and there was a commotion.
They have never seen this before.
In the past, some candidates had absolute advantages. For example, the incumbent consul was re-elected and supported by factions. Other factions also negotiated their interests. In the end, they won more than 70% of the votes, or even 80%.
Even so, other candidates can at least get some votes, more or less, and there is never a unique situation.
Invoicing is still in progress.
More and more gems were put into Renn's name, and the columnar container was lit up one by one, and the number of votes quickly approached 160 votes.
According to imperial law, the candidate with more than half of the votes wins the election.
The 319 imperial congressmen were present, and the criterion for victory was 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 by 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 taking office.
There are no special circumstances. The only winner is the new consul, and the Supreme Council generally does not veto it. But it is not absolute. There has been a case in the history of the empire that won an election, but in the end it was not passed in a vote in the Supreme Council.
In the surprised eyes of the imperial congressmen, Rennes got more than 160 votes!
Happiness!
The imperial congressmen clapped unanimously, and Ren stood up and raised his hands to the people, but did not speak because the billing was not over yet.
In the continuous warm applause, Rennes's votes are still rising rapidly.
Soon it broke through 200 votes.
Two-thirds of the votes have already been opened, and the other candidates still have no votes. Their names are bleak, making Rennes's name even more shining.
The empire members stared at the magical image, their eyes full of weirdness.
220 votes, 250 votes, 280 votes...
Rehn's votes broke the 300 mark, still a 100% vote rate. The imperial congressmen involuntarily held their breath, with the last 19 votes left. Will there be a miracle?
After a few breaths, the last gem flashed out of the ballot box, bursting into light, thrown into the container where Renn's name was in everyone's gaze.
"Wow..."
The empire members were in an uproar, and a miracle was born.
Elected unanimously!
This is the first time a consul elected unanimously in the more than a thousand years since the establishment of the imperial parliament. Everyone knows how difficult it is. Unanimous election means not only the approval of the imperial congressmen, but also the conquest of all competitors.
No matter how prestigious it is, it is almost impossible for competitors to vote for themselves.
And Ren did it!
There were a total of fifteen candidates in this election. Except for Rennes, the remaining fourteen contenders voted for Rennes. They are absolutely unprecedented and no one will come.
"Papa Papa..."
More than 300 imperial councillors all stood up and paid the highest respect to Rennes, and the three holy spirit wizards on the rostrum also applauded.
At this moment, everyone gathered in Rennes.
Although Rennes 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 to conquer other candidates. They participated in the revenge operation together, witnessed their achievements, and voted for themselves.
What really surprised him was that members of the Netherites also voted for himself.
The imperial councillors controlled by the Netherites accounted for one-third.
But they are not united.
Rennes once made a list, some of whom are members of Nether City, who obeyed the orders of Floating City instead of Kelston.
Some of them joined trading companies. After investigation, they thought that they could be wooed. They exchanged the number of shareholders to vote. In the future, there is a high probability that they will completely join in and join the Mordu faction camp.
Part of it comes from the Floating City of Ain, following the Great Sage Kangjerad. Because he resurrected the Sage Channien, the relationship between the two parties has become much closer, and he is willing to vote for himself.
The rest are diehards.
There were about forty members of these members. They were completely at the mercy of the Duke of Redstone Kelston. Rennes strategically abandoned these members and did not do any work.
However, they voted for themselves.
Ren looked at Kelston on the stage. This mortal enemy was also looking at him. The opponent noticed that his gaze had no previous hostility, and he even showed a slight smile and nodded slightly in greeting.
Kelston took the initiative to release his kindness.
This surprised Rennes. The Eye of Soul looked at the opponent and found that Kelston's hostility to him was still there. The soul was flushed red, but not as red and black as before, indicating that the hostility had faded a lot and was no longer so. It's strong.
"what's the situation?"
Renn was at a loss.
He and Kelston have been immortal for a long time, and there has been no overlap in the past few years, but in private, both sides have tried their best. Kelston tried to kill himself many times, and he kept giving Kelston Next trip, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com destroys the opponent's floating city and territory.
Why suddenly, Kelston's position softened?
Is he persuaded?
Rehn immediately rejected this speculation. With Kelsey's arrogant and arrogant character, he would never bow his head to anyone, let alone admit defeat.
He dared to calculate even Master Ogulevi, how could he be softened to himself?
The only possibility is that Kelston is planning a bigger conspiracy, but it will take time. Now that I see my power is strong, his strength is skyrocketing, and he has the artifact Holy Blood Amber, he can only evade his edge and show his goodness through this voting. I numb myself and gain room for relaxation and time.
Renne immediately thought of something.
Kelston has been conducting a certain magic experiment for many years. No one except himself knows the content of this magic experiment.
His retreat is good, it must be related to this magic experiment!
"Congratulations to Speaker Rennes."
"Congratulations to Speaker Rennes for being the first consul elected by unanimous votes."
Rehn was still thinking about what Kelston had conspired, and the surrounding empire members expressed their congratulations. He had to put his mind back, smiled, and responded: "Thank you for your support. Thank you for your vote for me. With every vote, I will do my best so that you will not regret your choice today."
He didn't act too excited, the process was still the last step.
That is the vote of the Supreme Council.
The three holy soul wizards on the stage have disappeared. Members of the assembly know that the holy soul wizards are voting by a show of hands, and the result will come out soon.
Sure enough, a few minutes later.
The figure of Grey Eagle Duke Tim Kennan returned to the podium and announced loudly: "The Supreme Council passed unanimously, and Ren Augustus was elected the 120th and 45th consul of the Empire!"
