Chapter 164: Turning Point
Seeing the two patriarchs of the Feng Clan and the Dragon Clan, they were all shocked, but Nian Yu's heart was not happy at all.
These two medium-sized families, it was difficult for him to gain their support at a very tragic price of interests, and they were used as surprise soldiers at today's voting meeting.
Although they all kept their promises and supported the third son of Yuesan, judging from the current number of votes, I am afraid that it is still far from enough.
What worries him even more is that even the Chilling Cicada Clan launched by the Qiu Shi also voted for the third son of the month, but compared with the other two candidates, the gap was inevitably pulled to about ten votes.
......
"Xishan Yue clan, Huangshi, Yueze Second Son gets votes!"
"The Mountain Movers, Red Stone, and the Grand Prince of Yueyao get votes!"
"The Emperor Crocodile Clan, Huangshi, Yueze Gongzi has another vote!"
As the reading of the deacons came to an abrupt end, the face of the year was finally hard to see.
As a wise and shrewd person, he naturally knows the number of votes cast in his chest, if there is no mistake in remembering, the third son of the month has so far, and the gap between the eldest prince Yue Yao is a full ten votes!
In other words, it is tantamount to announcing that the journey of the third prince of the moon to compete for the throne of the beast emperor has also stopped!
He put his gaze back on the bodies of the many spirit beast families, and even looked at Master Qiu face to face, and couldn't help but be covered with a layer of bitterness.
Because in the end, almost all the spirit beast clans have completed the stone throwing, but the only ones left are two families, the Golden Retriever Roar Clan and the Ape Clan.
These two families are the same ethnic groups that have insisted on abstaining for many years, and for thousands of years, no matter how big or small the affairs within the ethnic group, they have always refused to participate in voting, which can be described as a law that cannot be shaken.
Although Qiu Shi has a close relationship with the patriarch of the Golden Retriever family, he also knows the insistence of the Golden Retriever clan best, and for the sake of self-preservation or other considerations, they will not take over the right to vote.
As for the ape family, Nian Yu and Qiu Shi have no way to climb, this obscure medium-sized family, although the reproduction is considerable, has always maintained the tradition of keeping silent.
The deacons were obviously quite aware of the grotesque traditions of these two families, and they looked at them hesitantly:
"Do the Golden Retriever Roar and the Ape Clan still adhere to the past tradition and do not participate in the relevant recommendation votes, and are directly treated as abstentions?"
The patriarch of the Golden Retriever Roar family, after hearing the words of the deacon, didn't even look at it, and said directly in a deep voice:
"Exactly, my Golden Retriever Roar will not participate in this vote!"
The deacon nodded, but still did not forget to say to the ape patriarch:
"Patriarch Yuan Kong, I'm afraid that you are also sticking to the traditions of the past, if that's the case, then I will directly announce the results of today's stone votes!"
Yuan Kong, the patriarch of the ape clan, was an old man with a thin face and even some sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, after listening to the words of the deacon, he did not answer directly, but asked faintly:
"Dare I ask this deacon, can you read out the results of the current votes of the three candidates before I answer this question?"
The deacon was slightly stunned.
He obviously didn't understand what kind of trick this ape clan elder was going to do, so he had to look back at the Beast Emperor as if asking for help.
In fact, as soon as Patriarch Yuan Kong's words came out, everyone present was quite surprised, especially Qiu Shi and Nian Yu, who couldn't help but brighten their eyes in the case of frustration, and even full of ardent expectations.
What did Patriarch Yuan Kong mean by these words? Could it be that things have taken a turn for the better again?
Could it be that their ape clan chose to abandon the past traditions in this election of the Beast Emperor, and chose to speak out bravely?
The Beast Emperor's expression was meaningful, but he also had a hint of appreciation, and immediately said to the deacons: "It's okay, since Patriarch Yuan Kong wants to know the result, then read it out in a bright light." ”
The deacon nodded, and immediately stepped forward, whispered to several other Praetorian Guards who had recorded the votes, and after confirming that the results were correct, he turned back and announced:
"According to the final count of votes, now the eldest son Yueyao has a total of 22 votes, the second son Yuexuan is 23 votes, and the third son of the month has no more and no less, just thirteen votes. ”
"Patriarch Yuan Kong, it is undeniable that your vote is extremely critical now......
When he said this, he looked at the other party with a profound gaze and said: "If you vote for the third son of the month, then it will just break the disparity of ten votes for it, but if you choose the other two sons, then the third son of the month will directly lose the qualification to compete for the throne." ”
With the positive announcement of the deacons, the eyes of everyone present all fell on the patriarch of the ape clan.
The eyes of Qiu Shi, Nian Yu and Yue San Gongzi were all hot and hopeful, but it was difficult to hide some apprehension.
This patriarch of the ape clan, who is not very familiar with each other, even if he chooses to support it, he is afraid that he may not be the third son of the moon, on the contrary, it is more likely that the other two sons are more likely.
And the dragon and phoenix moving mountains and other clans, including Yueyao and Yueze, were mostly puzzled, and they really didn't think that this ape clan elder had taken the wrong medicine, and he actually planned to participate in this battle?
The Beast Emperor sat up slightly, looked at Yuan Kong with a calm expression, and fell silent for a while.
Everyone is obviously extremely curious, what kind of choice will this family, which has been actively abstaining for many years, make?
"Hehe, it's the first time in so long that the ape clan has been so much noticed, I'm really flattered!"
Seeing so many eyes shooting at him, Patriarch Yuan Kong couldn't help but laugh a little dryly and said: "My ape clan has never asked about current affairs for a long time, so I didn't want to participate in this stone voting election, but an incident that happened recently greatly changed my mind. ”
He turned to look at the third prince of the moon, and said with a smile: "In the spirit ore vein extraction incident a month ago, I heard that because of a little friend named Cinnabar, coupled with the decision of the third prince of the moon, my precious grandson Yuan Benchu directly entered the first-level spirit extraction area, and got great benefits, and soon after coming back, he was directly promoted again. ”
When Patriarch Yuan Kong said this, he was already smiling and walking out of the crowd, walked directly to the three-color stone pile, picked up a blue stone, and threw it into the basket in a very chic manner.
His actions caused an exclamation at the scene, and the Ao Jiao patriarch of the Dragon Clan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted directly:
"Yuan Kong, do you know what you're doing? You are a typical example of taking the benefits of others to repay your kindness, and now that the final election of the Beast Emperor is resided by the virtuous and capable, isn't it contrary to your original intention?"
"Isn't it just a stone vote now? Could it be that my ape clan doesn't have this qualification?"
Elder Yuan Kong faced Ao Jiao's questioning, but he sneered at each other: "In addition, if you talk about any kind of benefit exchange to repay kindness, I'm afraid that some people will do it more obviously." ”
"You!" Patriarch Ao Jiao was obviously poked in the sore spot, and he was speechless in anger.
"That's it, now that the ape clan has made a decision, according to the rules of our spirit beast clan for generations, it can't be changed. ”
The Beast Emperor's face was gloomy and resolute, and his tone was unquestionable: "Now that the results have come out, and there is no possibility of changing them, then I announce that all three of them will be one of the candidates, and each will select three young players to carry out the next round of 'polemic' levels!"
Seeing the Beast Emperor's decisive appearance, everyone knew that there was no possibility of changing this decision, and they had different expressions at the moment, so they had to accept the final result.
But at this moment, a young and hearty voice suddenly sounded: "Wait, I have something to say!"
