Chapter 114: Zen Rang Campaign
Campaigning for the throne is a time-honored tradition of the Wizarding Nation.
It is said that this was the rule established by the first Queen of the Wizard Nation and the first Holy Magister who founded the Council of the Spires of the Stars at the beginning of the establishment of the Wizard Nation.
Unlike the Magister Promotion Ceremony, where everyone can pay for a ticket, the Throne Zen allows only magicians with the title of "Magister" and guests specially invited by the Council of the Spires to enter the campaign.
"The princes will give a speech on national policy!"
The king is the ruler of a country, and he is in charge of tens of millions of people up and down the country, and his responsibilities are not insignificant.
Although the situation in the country of the Wizard is slightly different, in this campaign called "National Focus Speech", it will undoubtedly help the princes win the favor of the Grand Magus who have the right to vote.
First up is Crown Prince Ignas.
He first bowed to the Holy Magister Solomon, who was sitting at the head of the high platform, and then began his speech that lasted for dozens of minutes.
Ignas, who has been cultivated as the heir to the throne, is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing that his speech had been praised by a group of great magisters, the corners of the crown prince's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
He knew very well in his heart that the so-called "national policy speech" was nothing more than a formality, and the outcome of this campaign ceremony was predestined long before the ceremony was held.
"Hmph, Camilla's potion is really useful, and I'm afraid that the archmage who supports me is more than half."
Ignath counted the archmages on the stage who gave him approving glances, and glanced at Prince Avar, who was preparing to appear.
As the crown prince, Ignas already had fifteen pre-voting votes, and if half of the archmages supported him, he would have won the race.
"It's your turn."
Ignas, who had stepped down from the stage, looked at Avar with ill will, and began to think about how to torture his "enemy".
"I give up speaking."
Avar stepped up to the stage, only saluted the Grand Magus, and then stepped down again.
"You're giving up?"
Ignaus looked at Avar and sneered.
"Don't expect me to let you go, my dear brother."
In response to the crown prince, it was the indifferent look of the fourth prince.
He looked at Ignath as if he were looking at a dead man.
As Lin Xiao's servant, Avar can communicate directly with other servants who also serve Lin Xiao through the communication system built by the servant contract.
The fourth prince knew that he would inevitably become the new king of the Demon Guide Country.
But the timing of his own coronation is not above this Zen election.
Everything is under the control of his mysterious master.
"Next, Prince Elijah."
Elijah, who had not yet begun to prepare for his speech, had no idea that Avar would step down from the stage so soon.
Although it is well known that the "national policy speech" has a limited impact on the outcome of the election, it is extremely rare for a prince to choose to give up directly in the Chan Rang election in the past dynasties.
According to the tradition of the Wizard Nation, once a new king is enthroned, all candidates who are unsuccessful in being elected to the throne will lose their royal status and privileges.
These former princes would be assigned to different levels of government in the court under the arrangement of the Minaret Council, depending on their ability to run for Chan.
It can be said that the "national policy speech" is a "performance" performed by the princes who feel that they cannot obtain the throne in order to improve their power and status in the future in the Demon Guiding Country.
In this case, Avar's direct abandonment of the "national policy speech" can only illustrate one problem.
Or, he is completely sure of the throne.
Either that, he had already decided that he would leave his homeland after the Zen Rang election campaign and never return to his homeland.
In fact, Elijah was not unable to understand Avar's choice.
If Ignas became the new king, he would certainly not let go of these former "competitors", let alone let them stay in the court.
However, given the current situation, Ignas may not be able to win, right?
Why did his fourth brother choose to give up directly?
Elijah had secretly contacted the other princes and was ready to support Avar against Ignath.
At this moment, he always has a feeling of being betrayed.
"You think you can get away?"
"It's not that you don't know Ignath's vicious heart, even if you are willing to give up everything in the Demon Guide Country and go away, he will be able to let you go?"
Elijah, who sighed, felt that the tide was turning.
The fifth prince completely ignored the other possibility.
What if Avar had been completely sure about the outcome of the campaign?
What's the point of wasting saliva on that long speech?
More than an hour later, the throne Zen let the campaign finally enter the core link under the nervous mood of the princes.
"Open Vote!"
In order to prevent cheating, each archmage will publicly name the successor they support in turn.
This kind of rule of public voting also made every prince who participated in the Zen Rang election extremely tormented.
"Archmage Vane, support the fourth prince Avar!"
The first ballot was recorded on a magic float suspended in the air.
"This man is Solomon's henchman, and it is difficult to control with potions."
Looking at the vote Avar received on the magic float, Prince Ignath forcibly comforted himself in his heart.
"Don't panic, this is just the beginning."
"When it's Camilla's turn to vote on the Grand Magister, who is controlled by Camilla's potion, the show will come."
"Archmage Oneri, support the fourth prince Avar!"
The second archmagister is still a member of Solomon's faction.
"It seems that this old guy Solomon has really fallen to the slut Avar!"
Looking at another ballot in Avar's name, Ignas's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Archmage Nick Sal ......"
As soon as he heard the name, Ignas's eyes lit up.
This person has always been his staunchest supporter, and he must definitely vote for himself!
"Grand Magister Niksar, support Elijah the Fifth Prince!"
"What?"
Ignath's eyes fell to the ground as Nixal heard the name come out of Nicosar's mouth.
He wouldn't have been so shocked if Nixarr had voted for Avar.
How can the fifth prince, who has been living at home all the time, get Nick Saar's support?
Not only Ignath, but all the princes except Avar were stunned by Nichol's choice.
Even Solomon, who was sitting on the high platform, couldn't help frowning.
"What's going on?"
Solomon looked sideways at Archmage Niksar.
This person has obviously promised himself that he will vote for the fourth prince Avar!
Looking down in thought, Solomon set his eyes on Camilla, who was sitting at the end of the Grand Magister's line.
"Could it be her?"
"No way, I've already cleared all of her potions, and there's no way I'll be able to control Nichol's actions!"
"What's more, she has no reason to let Nick Sal vote for the fifth prince!"
Solomon's mind was in turmoil.
He really couldn't understand why the election would go in a direction that he couldn't predict.
Of course, it was the crown prince Ignas who collapsed the most.
As vote after vote was cast in Elijah's name, he was completely stunned.
