"...Huh?"
Hearing Gray's words, Aiwass was stunned for a moment and opened his eyes slightly.
His brain is still in a strong fluffy feeling - not the excitement and imbalance of drunkenness. It feels like shrinking into a dry and warm bed on a cold winter day. If you close your eyes at this time, you will soon enter infinite tranquility without thinking about anything.
Because of this, Aiwass felt that his brain was running so sluggishly for the first time.
But fortunately, his instinct was still running, and he was keenly aware of something wrong from this accident. Although he couldn't immediately figure out why he felt something was wrong, Aiwass subconsciously thought that something was wrong. Put your hands up.
No matter what happens, I can't handle it now. It's better to refuse first and talk about it later when you wake up.
This thought passed through his mind for a moment.
——But then, Aiwass found that he could not raise his hand at all.
His dominant hand to comfort Gray was firmly held by her, unable to break free.
He was stunned for a moment, and was about to raise his left hand... when he heard Gray speak again: "Raise your hand in agreement."
The next moment, there were eleven cardinals Hands up. Aiwass quickly put down the left hand he was about to raise.
Except Aiwass, there were nineteen cardinals present.
Eleven people agreed. There is no doubt that it has passed half and can enter the discussion stage, but it has not yet reached two-thirds - that is the number of votes for direct approval.
Therefore, according to the rules of the Theocracy, the saint and those who have not yet voted can conduct an additional round of narration.
Gray grabbed Aiwass's hand and said to the cardinals: "There is no doubt that I cannot continue to participate in the papal election in this state.
"But we The next pope must be elected here - because this time the eternal pope's body is already approaching its limit. We don't have to wait until March 3 next year.
"I regard Aiwass as the acting pope, which means 'before I recover, he will temporarily take over the position of pope and preserve the [Holy Crown]'. It is not that I will let Aiwass truly rule. The Theocracy - In other words, if you plan to elect me as the pope, you can choose Aiwass first. And during the period of acting as pope, I will also assist Aiwass to continue to manage the Theocracy. What objections do you have? "
"I have objections"
Cardinal Cyril said.
His voice was hoarse and he seemed to be in quite bad condition.
Once he left his ceremonial site, Cardinal Cyril's body's equilibrium state was broken. The traces of arborization and amber on the body have become active - it looks like the vines are twisting and swallowing the crystals and gradually crystallizing.
Aiwass looked at him worriedly.
This cardinal is the last one to arrive, and he should also be the one who least wants the election to take too long... He must return as soon as possible.Go to your room.
Cardinal Cyril spoke, his voice mixed with the creaking sound of a curved and strong vine: "Her Royal Highness the Saint... is acknowledging that she can recover from the amber state as soon as possible. But If it is not restored for a long time, should Cardinal Aiwass be allowed to rule the Theocracy for decades?"
Yes.
When people heard this question, they immediately woke up and waited for the pure white saint's response.
Gray also nodded solemnly and answered:
"Cardinal Europa claimed that this poison will end within a few months... So let's just The tentative decision is three months to half a year.
"If I recover before June 3, we will complete the handover of the Holy Crown before June 6; if I recover before September 3, We will complete the handover on September 9th. And if it has not been restored by the 'Ultimate Day', then the second round of papal election will be held on that day - excluding me and Aiwass.
"In other words, it will only be a temporary pope for six months at most. I don't think this will have any risks or violate any taboos."
Pure White Saint He said solemnly and seriously.
Her eyes are missing the straps, and when people look at her face, they feel a little strange.
But at this moment, this face seems more sincere.
"I also have objections."
Cardinal Belisarius slowly raised his hand: "If Cardinal Aiwass is elected pope, then he will be the supreme leader of the Theocracy. The ruler and the spokesperson of the Nine Pillars. If he refuses to return the Holy Crown on September 9, there is nothing we can do, because we will still have to obey the orders of the current Pope.
"So, how can we do it. How can we ensure that Aiwass, as a human being, will not abuse his power and that he can return power to Pure White in a timely manner? ”
Same as what Cardinal Cyril said before.
Cardinal Belisarius’ question is exactly what the elves are most worried about at the moment. He is simply like a mouthpiece, Speak out what the elves who are not present but have something to say want to say!
At this moment, everyone in the Theocracy is applauding Cardinal Belisarius for his courage and justice!
But Chunbai just shook her head slightly.
She raised her head, supported her body that seemed a little weak, but said firmly: "Although Aiwass. He is a human being, but he is also Si Zhu’s favorite, and he is also a cardinal recognized by the Nine Pillars God.
"As the only human Cardinal at present, and the only short-lived Cardinal, we have to believe in the possibility brought about by this miracle. Rather, it is precisely because of Ai Wentz is human, so making him the acting pope is the least risky decision.
“As we all know, people in every circle are close to the cardinals who govern this layer. Because elves are free - we can freely choose our living environment and live where we want to go.Over a long period of time, we will eventually come to the area that is most suitable for us.
“And because of the charisma of each cardinal, each one has his own supporters. In addition to each cardinal’s own supporters, the Theocracy also has mediators, home factions, and monument repairers. We will wait for all forces. Each force is composed of multiple cardinals... Therefore, anyone elected will definitely get the support of the residents of his own circle, the support of his own followers, and the support of his own circle.
“But on the other hand, at this time I was caught in an accident due to the assassination by the Hawkeye organization. If I am absent from the papal election at this time and let one of you be elected as pope, this may cause controversy - the controversy comes from 'if pure white participates in the election normally, will the situation be the same as now'.
"Since there will be people who support someone being the pope, there will naturally be people who will oppose it. Opponents will definitely make a fuss about me, making me seem like an opponent of His Majesty the Pope - I don't want that. So. No matter who is the pope, he is the ruler of the Theocracy and the holy leader of the church. I don’t want people to be hostile to each other, and I don’t want the Theocracy to be divided because of this...
"So. I made a bold decision, even though I am not fit to be Pope today. But he still participates in elections as an ‘agent’. ”
The Pure White Saint’s thinking is clear.
She reviewed various situations with people very clearly.
Among them, she emphasized One point - indeed, I can not be the pope, Aiwas can not be the pope, but what if a certain cardinal you hate, or a cardinal from a certain faction you hate, becomes the pope? What should I do?
Should I just admit it, or say "it's not fair, let's rematch"?
If it's the former, I won't feel comfortable and won't admit it; In the latter case, the Theocracy will be divided. Under the background that the Saint was forced to withdraw from the election, no matter who is elected, he will not be recognized by others.
Aiwass was confused. He looked at the Pure White Saint in confusion.
This must have been agreed upon, right? !
