Chapter 335: Tickets
There was no doubt that there was a commotion in this square.
Worshipping the strong and praising heroes has been the constant theme of mankind for thousands of years. And in the relatively peaceful and happy Maleno Empire, there is something more added to the main theme, that is, the admiration of money.
And aristocracy happens to be an existence with all three elements at the same time.
The brutal and immoral aristocracy has long been eliminated in the long river of history, and what is left of the Maleno Empire today is a noble court that has been praised since ancient times. Ordinary people always have hope and reverence for the aristocracy, and only a small number of people can correct their mentality and treat them equally.
And Marina, who returned to the snow castle as an illegitimate child, her name was widely spread among the ordinary people of the Maleno Empire. It can be said that Marlena is a bridge connecting the boundaries between nobles and commoners, and some scholars even call her a clarion call for a "new era".
Its specific significance is nothing more than the elimination of differentiation differences, the equality of personality, the opening of upward channels, and so on.
But ordinary people can't manage so much, they only know that an ordinary girl in a remote village has become a nobleman!
And now that ordinary girl is standing in front of their eyes, and she declares her identity!
If you take a closer look, although there is a little difference from the rumors, this girl is not so ordinary......
Seeing that everyone's attention was not on her, Angelina quietly squeezed out of the crowd, and it seemed that it was difficult to stay in this scene. Ellie saw it and didn't interfere much, after all, if she was pushed into a hurry, God knows what else she would do. You know, those people on the committee should also be here.
If Ellie can't produce evidence on the spot, something will happen.
Soon, a group of adults wearing teachers' uniforms and armbands of the organizing committee appeared in the square.
According to the process, under the supervision of more than half of the members of the organizing committee, everyone opened the small box containing the "Snowflake" ballots.
The moment the box was opened, ballots poured out like a wave, spilling out all over the sky. The technician didn't react at all, just holding the box and stunned on the spot.
Not only the technicians, but also the members of the organizing committee, even the onlookers, even the workers in the distance, and even Marlena and Ellie themselves, were all stunned in the rain of votes.
The astonishing silence lasted less than five seconds before being replaced by stubble after stubble of gasps.
Ellie looked at Marlena, her eyes filled with the same surprise as Marlena.
"Count the votes!"
"So much...... I'm afraid it's more than a thousand, right?"
"That's not ...... Lit??"
The members of the organizing committee separated the students, including Ellie and Marlena, and split up to collect the scattered ballots and put them into a special external ballot counter they had brought with them. Unlike the one on the bulletin board, this counter is not indicated by the liquid in the glass column, but is displayed visually in the form of a number on a hedron.
As the ballots were fed in stacks upon stacks, the numbers on the hedron also jumped from single digits to ten digits, then hundreds of digits, and finally, broke the 1,000 mark!
"It's really more than a thousand!!"
"Oh my God, are they really that good??"
After all, only a small number of students can go to the preliminary examination site, and more students' sources of information are still passed on by word of mouth among students. And now, they were still a little skeptical, and they suddenly looked forward to the show "Snowflake".
"Broken ...... Thousand. The technician who delivered the ballot turned his head and looked at his leader.
“...... It's amazing......" The leader of the organizing committee sighed and turned around, as if ready to announce the result.
"But!" the technician said weakly, holding up the ballot in his hand, "there are still so many ...... votes"
“......”
There was only a slight delay in the counting of votes, and the technician continued to meticulously deliver the ballot papers to the counter.
About five minutes later, the number on the hedron stuck on a four-digit number starting with 2 - 2333, which is the number of votes "Snowflake" has received so far.
With more than 1,000 votes, the show will be able to advance with glory, advance to the ranks, and be famous in the annals of Calamus Academy. And Ellie's "Snowflake" has more than doubled the required number of votes! 2,000 votes!!
This is something that has never happened in the entire history of the Imperial Academy!
Although there are a large number of students in Imperial College, there are also many programs that participate in the election and participate in voting! Even if you distinguish between singing and dancing programs and non-singing and dancing programs, the number of votes for most programs is only a few hundred.
The law of twenty-eight doesn't seem to apply here.
Because the students of the Imperial Academy, after all, are all elites who have gathered here through strict selection! Although there is a gap between the elites and the elites, it is not very large! Therefore, most of the program levels are between the middle and the middle. It's rare to find programs that stand out in particular, because all of them are excellent!
All the shows carry the dreams of the performers and the enthusiasm of the supporters, and every show has its reasons for making the cut!
“...... Are we witnessing history?"
"Then I'll be sure to ask for an autograph in a moment!"
"At the official party, I'm going to give them flowers!!"
2,333 votes, but this number pulled one vote for Ellie and Marina.
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief, this matter should be over for the time being......, right?
"That. The technician raised his hand, interrupting the leader who was thinking or talking.
"What's wrong?"
"Among these votes...... Three of them were fakes......" the technician frowned, telling the fact in all seriousness. His expression was solemn but quite confident, and it was clear that this was the result of his repeated identification.
Marlena leaned in and calmly reconfirmed: "Confirm it's a fake ticket?"
"Sure. The technician said, "The magic sigil on it has traces of forgery, obviously. ”
The director of the organizing committee looked at Marina, also frowning, as if thinking about how to speak.
Originally...... There is more than one way to do ghosts......
"Although there is no record of fake votes in the history of the Imperial College Winter Festival Gala, according to the rules, all tickets should be manually re-examined and the voters and performers investigated. Speaking of this, it seems that the director of the organizing committee felt a little stiff, and comforted: "Three fake tickets, I know your show, it is very exciting, and the real number of votes should be a lot." This fake ticket, someone should be deliberately playing tricks......"
"I see. ”
Marlena nodded, then lowered her eyelids and pondered.
When the technician tapped the votes, Marina's thinking seemed to have finally come to fruition.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Turning to the crowd, Marlena raised her head and said, "Among the more than 2,000 tickets, three fake tickets have been mixed. ”
There was an uproar and consternation!
"So. Marlena paused, and said decisively: "We give up these two thousand three hundred and thirty votes!
The noise became louder, and even the cadres of the organizing committee showed puzzled expressions.
"So, after all the equipment is restored, I hope that you can use your votes to send us to the promotion position again!!"
