Chapter 531: Voted Through
"Humph!"
"The Council of Truth will not pass such a proposal that destabilizes the order!"
"Lord Douglas. ”
"I think your proposal contains selfish motives, and you are no longer fit to serve as the rotating speaker of the Council of Truth. ”
"After the vote on this proposal, I will join Sommerfeld Allan and Cronindiego as three people to jointly initiate an impeachment proposal against you!"
"Then, elect the new rotating Speaker of the Council of Truth!"
Mondor was obviously very dissatisfied with Douglas's direct way to put the proposal into the voting stage, and after speaking angrily, he sat down directly and did not continue to say more, as if he was very confident in his words.
After all, in his opinion, it is basically impossible to get more than eighty percent of the members of the Council of Truth to not object.
Because, Mondor knew that the various interests in the Mage Federation had already been distributed by mage organizations large and small, and finally gathered into the most powerful eighteen of these mage organizations, that is, the Mage Organization of the Council of Truth, which was firmly grasped.
The pattern of interests has long been fixed, and a delicate balance has been maintained between the various mage organizations of the Council of Truth, and a tacit understanding has been maintained for thousands of years, maintaining the status quo, and not allowing an overly powerful mage organization to appear in the Mage Federation.
Because the birth of a powerful mage organization will inevitably seek the status and resources corresponding to the power it controls, in reality, it is interests, and that will break the balance of power between mage organizations, and the conflict of interests will lead to more problems.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the eighteen mage organizations of the Council of Truth have maintained this tacit understanding very well, and have developed peacefully without incident, and if anyone tries to change, they will be unanimously resisted and suppressed by all the remaining mage organizations.
"Three co-authors, in line with the additional agenda. ”
"Then as the second additional item, wait for the completion of the vote on the first additional item, and then vote. ”
To Mondor's surprise, Douglas not only did not block it, but directly accepted the proposal and asked for a vote as the second additional item.
"But for now, we need to vote on Item 1 first. ”
"This time it was still a secret ballot, so please feel free to vote. ”
After saying a word in a formalized manner, with the movement of Douglas's fingers, the light curtain opposite the large round table suddenly lit up, and the interface of voting resurfaced on it.
The data on it began to beat in an instant, and it was clear that it was the vote of someone who already had the answer in mind.
There is no doubt that Douglas voted yes and Mondor voted against......
......
Soon, the beating data on the voting screen slowly slowed down the refresh speed and was about to be finalized.
The results are shown first by the upvotes in the first place.
"8 votes in favor!"
Seeing this vote, a smile slowly appeared on Mondor's face, and a trace of contempt appeared in his eyes when he looked at Douglas.
The next moment, the negative votes in the middle also slowly emerged.
"6 votes against!"
"It's impossible to !!"
The low number of votes for it was a matter of course, but the surprisingly few votes against it made him almost jump all at once.
"There were 21 abstentions, and the total number of participants was 35. ”
"More than eighty percent of the members of the Truth Council do not oppose the proposal. ”
"Resolution passed!"
After reading out the result of such a vote, Douglas glanced at Mondol with an indifferent face.
At this point, if you don't know that the situation is wrong, you are really stupid, Mondol looked at the others oppositely, his face full of shock and incredulity.
Due to the special composition structure of the Mage Federation, it was originally an extremely loose mage organization consortium, and many mage organizations that belonged to the same group did not look at each other at each other, so even the Mage Organization of the Council of Truth did not dare to say that they had absolute dominance over their supporters.
However, now those mage organizations that have a good relationship with themselves and are more willing to support them have actually abstained, what the hell is going on!
"Major resolutions can be passed by more than eighty percent of the members of the Truth Council without objection. ”
This provision was established to prevent the Council of Truth, which is already divided internally due to conflicts of ideas and interests, from reaching a consensus, and when the members of the Council of Truth are unable to reach a consensus at all, it will allow the majority resolution to finally take effect.
However, for a long time, it seems that people have ignored, not opposed, and sometimes do not need to be in favor......
It is indeed difficult for many members of the Council of Truth to convince them that they vote for it, but it is not completely impossible for them not to disagree.
To some extent, Mondol's thinking was not wrong, and the long-standing tacit understanding between the eighteen Truth Council mages maintained relative peace and stability.
Even though there are more or less conflicts of ideas and interests between the various Mage Organizations of the Council of Truth, so small frictions are inevitable, but large conflicts are restrained and avoided, which allows more resources to be invested in development rather than in battle.
And that is one of the important reasons why the Mage Federation can become a holy place in the hearts of all spellcasters in the world in the development of the wizard plague.
However, that was the measure that had been taken in the past, and it was the best solution in a stable environment based on the situation of peaceful development.
And now, the energy storm has slammed into the depths of the astral plane, causing a tide of secondary elements to sweep across the southwestern part of the Norandar plane, and the Cult of the Evil Moon has attracted the power of ancient abomination, uniting with careerists to set off a turmoil that has devastated large swaths of the region.
The general environment has changed, and in the foreseeable future, turmoil will be the main theme, and in this case, the measures implemented must also be changed accordingly.
Many members of the Council of Truth can see this, but change comes with its own risks, especially today, and not everyone is willing to take that risk.
Therefore, in the face of the proposal of Douglas, Norton and Hawking, there are staunch opponents, that is, Mondor's faction.
In addition to the opponents, there are naturally neutrals, who know that change is needed, but they can't make that kind of decision themselves, so they have a wait-and-see attitude towards the proposal of the Douglas trio, and have the idea of letting others explore the way.
Under such ideas, coupled with the early lobbying and co-optation that the Douglas trio had prepared, it is still okay for them to maintain an attitude that they may not agree, but do not oppose.
And this attitude is reflected in the vote, which is the abstention.
In the end, all of this led to the current vote!
At this time, Mondol and his party, who had recovered from the shock caused by the seemingly unbelievable voting result, probably understood in a sudden turn of mind, and their faces showed a look of chagrin.
However, the big picture is set.
"In my capacity as the rotating chairperson of the Council of Truth, I announce that from the next day, the three mage organizations of the Council of Truth, Elemental Blade, Star Wisdom, and Ouroboros will merge, and finally lead the specific battle against the Evil Moon Cult as the 'Arcane Ring'!"
Then, Douglas's loud declaration of land acquisition resounded throughout the entire hall of ten thousand laws!
