March 3, twelve o'clock at noon.
In previous papal elections, this was the time when the new pope was announced.
All cardinals will vote among three candidates - the saint herself can be selected as a candidate, but does not have the right to vote.
After each round of voting, the three candidates will select one of their "supporters" from among the people who voted for them and give a short speech to count the votes for themselves. . Candidates may also choose to speak themselves.
After the speeches are completed, there will be another round of voting. Until someone gets more than two-thirds of the votes, that is, an "absolute majority" approval is obtained.
When there were twenty-one cardinals, 15 votes would be needed; now there is one vacancy, so 14 votes are needed.
If after thirty-three consecutive rounds of voting, no one still obtains an absolute majority. Then in the thirty-three rounds of voting, the person who obtains the most "relative majority" will be elected.
In the same way, Galatea is the most classical conservative. To put it simply, they are the most hated "old-fashioned" faction of the "Controlled Fire" faction, and the faction among the elves that supports "the inheritors are more noble" the most.
In the third round of elections, Awas Moriarty from Avalon had already achieved an absolute majority.
Except for Fafna and Galatea who politely voted for each other, everyone else voted for Aiwass. Aiwass cast his vote for Cardinal Favrna.
The Eighteenth Circle is considered the "prison" of the entire Theocracy.
Allowing the election of Aiwass, who is a professional, may also continue to promote the professionalization process of the Theocracy...
"It is not just this problem. I very much disagree with Homeland. There is a reason for Pai's idea - if these projects are all taken over by us, how can humans be independent if they are both high-quality and cheap? "
In the first two rounds of elections, there were still some "favor votes." In other words, other cardinals who are usually friendly with these cardinals will choose to cast a few rounds of favor votes to let the other party know that "someone still supports them" before voting seriously. This is also to prevent the opponent from losing too badly - it will appear as if everyone is targeting him.
...Although he is only a "surrogate pope", he is essentially an agent of the Pure White Saint.
They got a human substitute pope who was only nineteen years old!
Several old elves were drinking tea in the Resolution House, commenting on the election results of this generation of eternal popes:
-But this year's situation is different.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
But there is no doubt that this is still an amazing thing!
But the Theocracy doesn’t like imprisoning people, because that means the prisoners have done nothing and instead need someone to guard them. In the Theocratic State, allAnyone who violates taboos will be taken advantage of... If they are clergy, they will treat people for free, and if they are alchemists, they will synthesize alchemical medicine. Even people who know nothing can relearn a craft and serve others.
These short-lived species discussed this result.
Because a cardinal who favors the interests of elves may choose that elf without thinking, while a cardinal who favors xenophobia may deliberately not choose that elf. In this way, it will appear less respectable and the selected results may not be recognized.
"If Fafna is allowed to be the pope, the Theocracy will become a construction team. If too much is given and humans get used to it, then reducing help in the future will become hatred. Even if you help others , we can’t help without any bottom line.”
“In fact, the saint is the best, she is the most fair and unbiased, but who let the saint be assassinated suddenly?”
But since the three candidates are all races other than elves, it is fair...
"Yes, she is a black dragon, with a gloomy and violent nature...Who can care about her now? I feel sorry for her child. I have submitted reports twice and hope that the child will be raised by other cardinals."
The lizard man beside him nodded. Agreeing: "I feel like any cardinal might start a quarrel when he comes to power."
"That's it." I thought about it carefully, and it seems that every cardinal cannot satisfy everyone. ”
In high-level positions, pure-blood elves have completely opposite views.
Because the entire process of the papal election was broadcast live...as early as two hours The elves of the Theocracy have already known the candidate for the next pope.
Since they no longer like humans, they naturally cannot support Favna's down-to-earth pro-foreign approach to helping other races. Thoughts, compared with Favna, it is better to support Aiwass
At the same time, this is also the location of the "Decomposition House"
So in the third round. Aiwass received seventeen votes.
At this age, Aiwass became the eternal pope!
The elves rushed to tell each other - the assassination of the saint and humans. Pope, these two pieces of news are enough to become a topic of conversation for dozens of days, adding a lot of embellishment to the peaceful and boring lives of the elves.
"It should be fine, the scope of Ningbo is so small. It looks to be less than three centimeters in diameter. ”
Because of this, Aiwass only received six votes in the first round. But in the second round, he received 13 votes and was almost directly elected.
p>Such ideas are popping up all over the Theocracy.
Those who commit serious crimes and must be sentenced to death must have their flesh, bones, souls and other elements to the greatest extent possible. Use. Only in this way can they make up for the losses and damage they have caused to others and to the entire Theocracy.
The Theocracy will already know the final election.result.
——Although Aiwass himself was the one who killed Cardinal Loki. But at least he is a professional, much better than Galatea!
"I know that poison! I have an elf friend. She became amber because of the controlled fire spreading this poison last month. Now she even has difficulty walking..."
p>"It's better than letting Favna's kid be the pope."
Nineteen years old... In pure-blood elven families, children of this age are not even literate. They can only grow up to half a meter tall at most. They are still in their carefree childhood and have not learned any knowledge.
The elves surprisingly agreed with this result.
And I also think that the election process is very fair - since Aiwass, the agent appointed by the Saint, is a human, then if the other two electors have elves, the election process will appear less fair and unfair. Not so pure.
"Indeed."
A dwarf finished a pint of cold beer, smacked his lips and suddenly said: "I actually think it's not bad to let Aiwass take over. "
"This just shows that His Highness is in good spirits!"
In the third round of voting, Matilda voted for Aiwass. .
At that time, there will be a pure white beam of light rising from the 21st ring to the sky, which is the 22nd ring. Subsequently, basic information such as the name, appearance, and identity of the new pope will be reflected on the crystal screens on each floor of the Theocracy. People will also know that a new eternal pope has been born in the Eternal Theocracy.
"For example - I don't want Cardinal Galatea to take the throne. If she becomes the pope, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the two-story ruins. In that case, we adventurers What are you doing?”
Because of this, this is the darkest and coldest place in the entire Theocracy.
At this moment, in the tavern of the second circle.
The main idea is: Almost done.
Although there are also categories of elves who dislike humans, they usually belong to the extreme faction.
"That's right! I've always said there's a problem with this. What if humans get used to our help and then feel that their own construction teams are too expensive? Just like those trolls in the south If they don't develop planting technology, they can grow all over the mountains and fields in the southern continent, and they won't be able to eat them all."
"If you really want to help them, you can't. Let them feel that these things come too easily. We have to wait for decades to let them know the importance of these technologies, and then they can follow the guidance and cultivate their own scholars to solve this problem. This is the long-term solution..."
