Chapter 163: Throwing Stones
When many Spirit Beast Clansmen heard the Beast Emperor speak, they couldn't help but be in an uproar, their spirits were much more uplifted, and many of them even whispered to each other.
Today, they have clearly understood that the time that the Spirit Beast Clan has really been waiting for for a long time has finally officially arrived, and the battle for the new Beast Emperor has now officially begun!
"Please be silent!"
A spirit beast deacon standing under the high platform, obviously instructed by the Beast Emperor, said loudly at the moment: "According to the tradition of our Spirit Beast Clan for many years, anyone who selects the Beast Emperor for the throne must adopt the method of public voting in order to show justice. ”
When he said this, he raised his palm high and waved it slightly, and immediately from the direction of the gate of the Beast Temple, a team of elite guards walked in.
These guards were all subordinates of the Beast Emperor's most trusted Praetorian Guard, about a dozen or so, with three people as a team, each carrying three thick rattan baskets in.
In the basket are stacked with three different colors of red, yellow, and blue, each of which is about 30 in number, and it seems that each of them is the size of a bowl or more.
They placed the three large baskets in front of everyone, and each of them shouted, and directly poured out the stones, and directly piled up the stones like three hills on the spot.
The deacon's face did not change, and he continued to announce loudly: "These three strange stones of different colors now represent the three Beast Emperor candidates, among which the red represents the eldest prince Yueyao, the yellow represents the second prince Yueze, and the blue naturally represents the third prince Yueze. ”
After he said this, an extremely incomprehensible smile appeared on his face and said, "Everyone, the rules are so simple, you might as well start here." ”
In such a solemn occasion, such a grotesque scene appeared really made people feel a little weird and ridiculous, but all the powerful figures of the Spirit Beast Clan were full of solemnity, and they didn't dare to relax at all.
They all clearly understood that although this selection method of "throwing stones into the basket" seemed to be a bit primitive and backward, it was also the tradition of the Spirit Beast Clan to decide on major events for many years, and it had been followed for too many years.
The reason why the Spirit Beast Clan chose this method is, to a large extent, to directly tell all the candidates to see which races ultimately choose to support you.
And all the families have directly announced their positions in the process of voting, so they will also bear the corresponding consequences.
Even if you learn about those families that oppose you, it will be more able to inspire the future Beast Emperor to deal with and maintain relationships with these families, and even whether it will trigger a series of retaliation, but it is often unknown.
"Since the Beast Emperor has already given the order, why are we hesitating?
Seeing that many people next to him were silent, the Ao Jiao patriarch of the dragon clan was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let my dragon clan be the first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up straight, strode to the side of the three stone piles, directly bent down and picked up a red stone, and threw it in the first basket, and then Shi Ran returned to his seat.
Seeing that he had taken the lead in setting an example, the deacons also announced loudly at the moment: "The eldest prince Yueyao, get one vote first!"
Although the eldest prince Yueyao knew that the dragon clan would definitely support him, but seeing Ao Jiao's patriarch so powerful, he couldn't help but show a trace of complacency on his rugged face.
"Hmph, Ao Jiao's patriarch is really happy, but with such a voting result, will it be too obvious?"
Seeing that Ao Jiao was stealing the limelight, the patriarch of the Feng clan couldn't help but stand up and teased: "No matter what my Feng clan does, it is always striving to be the first, and such major matters will naturally not be left behind." ”
After he finished speaking, Huo Ran actually left his seat, followed the example, directly picked up a yellow stone in the stone pile, threw it directly into the basket, and walked back with a cold face.
"Second son Yueze, also get a vote!" the deacon announced with an expressionless face.
Seeing that the patriarchs of the dragon and phoenix clans had made a choice, everyone immediately began to stand up one after another and choose the candidates they supported.
It's just that with the figures shuttling back and forth, most of these family figures choose to support the two sons of Yueyao and Yueze, and the blue stone representing the third son of Yuezao has not been thrown into one for a long time.
Nian Yu's face was calm, looking at everything in front of him coldly, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
It wasn't until he suddenly discovered that the patriarch surnamed Shi of the Lion Heron Clan finally picked up a blue stone and put it into the basket after pondering for a long time, that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, someone still voted for the third son of the moon!
In addition to sighing, he also knew that the reason why the Lion and Heron clan chose to support the third prince of the month was mostly because the eldest disciple of the Qiu Master was their clan.
After nearly a month of hard work, although he has done his best to mobilize at least three medium-sized families to support the third prince of Yue, judging from the current situation, it is still too thin after all.
Now, he can only pin all his hopes on Master Qiu, as the "saint" master of the spirit beast race, he must have an extremely amazing network power.
As the deacon read out the choice of throwing stones, the mood of the year became heavier and heavier.
Even if you add the votes of yourself and Qiu Shi, and those medium-sized families they have launched, so far, they are far behind Yue Yao and Yue Xuan by no less than five votes.
It seems that he is still too optimistic, and he actually has a sense of frustration in the rest of the year, could it be that this time he doesn't even care about himself, and he is still too slim for the ascension of the third son of the moon?
"Golden Crow Clan, Blue Stone, the Third Prince of the Moon gets one vote!" the deacon's voice suddenly woke him up from his distraction.
Hearing the result of this announcement, not only the Qiu Shi himself, but also the third prince of the moon, as well as many figures from the spirit beast family, couldn't help but be stunned.
It turns out that this so-called Golden Crow Clan, although it is a medium-sized family, in the past records, it has always been the leader of the Dragon Clan, but how could he change his temper today and support the third son of Yuesan?
Qiu Shi looked at Nian Yu with a determined face, and couldn't help but admire the abnormality, this seemingly ordinary acting commander of the three armies, even the Jin Crow clan was able to convince him, I don't know how many benefits were exchanged behind it!
The Ao Jiao patriarch was even more annoyed at the moment, and while looking at the Golden Crow patriarch with angry eyes, he secretly complained in his heart about the evil and vicious methods of the past few years.
Looking at the angry appearance of the patriarch of Ao Jiao, the patriarch of the Feng clan was gloating, as a member of the supporters of the second son of Yueze, he would rather see that the Jinwu clan supported the third prince of Yue, rather than the eldest prince Yueyao.
It's just that his smile didn't last long, and it was completely fixed on that old face.
The deacon's reading rang out again, and this time, he heard the name of a family that was all too familiar.
"Black Crow Clan, Blue Stone, the third son of the moon has one more vote!"
The patriarch of the Feng clan crooked his mouth almost instantly, isn't this crow clan one of his hardcore clans?
