Chapter 673 The Eve of the Election Ceremony

Although the Candlelight Festival is on January 1st, it is just a holy day that Hengwo gave up. Since Hengwo had no plan to celebrate the festival, this day was given to the Candlelight.

"The number three" is the holy number of the Candlelight.

Therefore, March 3rd of each year is the time when the Candlelight has the strongest power in the year. If you want to perform a ceremony that requires the power of the Candlelight, you can put it on January 1st or March 3rd.

The day of the change of the Pope is always on this day.

...But normally, this year is not a regular Pope election day.

Generally speaking, the Pope tends to choose an integer year to leave office. The best case is 300 years, and the next best is 333 years. If you can't choose a holy number, then it will be another integer year.

It is now 1899, and next year is 1900 - from "one" to "nine", which is a very auspicious number in the eyes of the elves. And next year, it happens to be the 300-year term of this generation of the Eternal Pope.

Having so many buffs but ignoring them... This is not just a problem that drives people with obsessive compulsive disorder crazy.

Even passers-by would guess that this generation of the Eternal Pope left early due to force majeure.

Because of this... the night before, passers-by on the street were talking about it with some worry.

The preparations for the Pope election ceremony will start at 1 a.m. on March 3rd, and will officially begin at 9 a.m. on March 3rd. Three hours later, the results will be announced at 12 noon.

At 10 p.m. on March 2nd, Aiwass changed into his new clothes and took Isabel and Lily to move up through the "elevator".

Normally, short-lived species are already rare at the height of the fifth ring. But tonight, it was like a New Year's Eve celebration, and the streets were full of short-lived species running around with cameras.

The elves were not still reserved - instead, they took out equipment that was far more portable and expensive than cameras.

That is a recording stone that can record and broadcast. It is the technical crystallization of divine arts and rituals, and it is a specialty of the elves. It retains the sound through the divine arts of the God of Song Tiansi, solidifies the picture through the divine arts of the God of Lingbo Tiansi, and then encapsulates them into a white crystal through ritual technology.

If there is still a need, the data inside can even be transmitted remotely through rituals. If it is set up on the ritual platform, a similar "live broadcast" effect can be achieved through this device.

In the second ring full of various advanced entertainment facilities, people use this device to watch various music performances and sports games remotely.

By tomorrow morning, the election ceremony will be transmitted to each layer of the ring through the live crystal.

Originally, this technology was not needed, because it was enough to transcribe the "multi-camera real-time monitoring" of Cardinal Loki. However, the monitoring of that layer was damaged by Aiwass. Although it was repaired quickly, there were still some bugs occasionally-for example, the monitoring magic mirror pointing to a certain place would suddenly freeze for a period of time, and the corresponding magic mirror needed to be restarted to return to normal.

Although in principle, Aiwass, who also contracted the Lord of Scales and Feathers, should succeed to the throne and complete the work of "directing"... but for some reason, the Pure White Saint personally changed the details of the ceremony - directly put a group of "cameramen" to assist in the broadcast.

In other words... only this year, people other than the cardinals can directly enter the election ceremony. This means that what they may shoot is definitely more than what those fixed cameras can shoot, and it is not like in the past that they will be reviewed by the cardinals before being shown to everyone.

Fresh exceptions often mean fun.

And all this started when Aiwas boarded the elevator -

Anyone can see that he is wearing a black robe of special texture, with a strange diamond-shaped crack on his chest. The edge of the crack is decorated with a golden thorn pattern. The black sin thorns spread out and intertwined with the golden thorn pattern.

And in the middle of the winding sin thorns, there lies an emerald of extremely high quality. There are layers of cracks inside it that collapse inwards, and the darker it gets the further inward it gets... it looks like an iris and pupil.

In addition, there are sparse golden patterns on the black robe, which look like feathers and fish scales. Aiwass also has a long chasuble on his shoulders - its color combination is exactly the opposite of the robe, with a golden base and a black thorn pattern.

There is no doubt that this low-key but luxurious cardinal robe also has attributes.

But what is counterintuitive is... it is not in the "upper garment" position, but in the "accessories".

["——Hey, hey, hey? Can you see this line of words?"]

This robe can exert extremely powerful power on Aiwas - it is specially used to amplify the high-level divine spells that Aiwas has learned. No wonder other cardinals wear this set of clothes every day...

But the last line of words surprised Aiwas.

Who wrote this? Why did this "equipment introduction" pop up from my panel?

...Is it the elf craftsman who made this dress, or...the Lord of Scales and Feathers himself?

But Aiwass felt that it seemed unlikely.

The Lord of Scales and Feathers has the strongest predictive ability. Even if he didn't know Aiwas had a system, he could definitely see his past and future performance and deduce this matter. And the elf craftsman who would only deal with Aiwas once, there was no need to use this method to communicate with Aiwas across the air...

The most important thing is that the other party didn't leave his identity and contact information at all!

Even if Aiwas wanted to respond, he couldn't reply at all!

So Aiwas could only pretend not to see it.

Anyway, the attributes of this coat deeply pleased Aiwas-not only has a strong priority bonus, but also has a very practical self-cleaning function!

In short, wear it first!

And this kind of clothes with a shawl, a hole in it, revealing sinthorns and gems...and it is neither red nor white, looks too familiar.

At first, not many people noticed Aiwas, but later, more and more people were reminded by people around them. People who noticed Aiwas's dress spread rapidly in this small lift.

"...Is that the cardinal's clothes?"

"——Wait, is that really the cardinal? That's a human."

"What? I'm face-blind, don't lie to me. Isn't this an elf?"

"Don't look at his face, look at his height and ears - this is obviously a human!"

"Humans can also be cardinals? It must be an imitation..."

"Who said that humans can't be cardinals? Do you discriminate against humans?"

"Do you have a brain? Who dares to imitate the cardinal's clothes?"

Noise, whispers, quarrels, arguments... Ever since Aiwas appeared in front of people, it has been endless. Lily's presence was like nothingness, melting into the crowd. Even Aiwas couldn't find her easily.

And Isabel basically didn't do any disguise, but with her elf-like beauty, no one discussed her at all, and no one even looked at her. All eyes just passed by her and focused on Aiwas.

This made Isabel, who was worried about her identity being exposed at first, feel relieved.

But no one really noticed her, which made her feel a little weird.

- Forget it, it's good.

Thinking of this, Isabel hid two more steps towards the crowd without leaving a trace.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, squeezed through the crowd and came to Aiwas.

"This respected... Mr. Cardinal?"

She asked half respectfully and half hesitantly, and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, can I take a photo of you?"
