Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 673 The Eve of the Election Ceremony
Although the Candle Priest is held on January 1st, it is just a holy day given over by the Eternal Self. Because Hengga had no plans to celebrate the festival, he left this day to Si Zhu.

"The number three" is the sacred number of the candle maker.

Therefore, March 3rd every year is the time of year when the power of the candle is strongest. If you want to perform any ritual that requires borrowing the power of the candlestick, you can put it on January 1st or March 3rd.

The day when the Pope changes will always be placed on this day.

…But actually speaking, this year is not a regular papal election day.

Generally speaking, the pope prefers to choose an integer number of years to leave office. The best case scenario is three hundred years, and the next best thing is three hundred and thirty three years. If you can't choose a holy number, it will be another integer number.

Today is 1899, and next year will be 1900 - from "one" to "nine", which is a very auspicious number for elves. And until next year, it happens to be the -year term of this generation’s eternal pope.

Stacking so many BUFFs but ignoring them... This is not just a matter of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Even passers-by would guess that most of the eternal popes of this generation left their posts early due to force majeure.

Because of this...the night before, passers-by on the street started talking worriedly.

And all of this started when Aiwass got on the elevator——

In other words...only this year, people other than cardinals can directly enter the election ceremony. This means that the things they may capture are certainly not limited to those that can be captured by a few fixed cameras, nor will they be reviewed by the Cardinal before being shown to everyone as in the past.

Usually, short-growing species are relatively 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 people running around with cameras.

But something counter-intuitive is that... it is not in the "tops" position, but in the "accessories" position.

In addition, the black robe is also decorated with sparse golden patterns, which look like feathers and fish scales. Aiwass also wore a long sacrificial shawl on his shoulders - its color matching was exactly the opposite of that of the robe, with a golden background and a black thorn pattern.

In the second ring, which is filled with various advanced entertainment facilities, people can watch various music performances and sports competitions remotely through this device.

Wait until tomorrow morning, and the election ceremony will be transmitted to each ring through the live crystal.

It’s not that the elves are still being reserved—but they have come up with equipment that is far more portable and expensive than cameras.

Preparations for the papal election ceremony will begin at 1 a.m. on March 3 and will not officially begin until 9 a.m. on March 3. Three hours later, the results were announced at 12 noon.

[Extraordinary jewelry (dark purple)]

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

Anyone could see that he was wearing a black robe of special texture, with a strange diamond-shaped crack on his chest. The edges of the breach are decorated with golden thorn patterns. Black sin thorns spread out and intertwined with the golden thorn pattern.

Fresh exceptions often mean fun.

It is a photographic stone that can be recorded and broadcasted. It is the technical crystallization of divine arts and rituals. It can be regarded as a specialty of elves. It retains the sound through the magic directed at Ge Tiansi, solidifies the picture through the magic directed at Lingbo Tiansi, and then encapsulates them into a white crystal through ritual technology.

If there is still demand, the data inside can even be transmitted remotely through rituals. If set up on the ceremony stage, this equipment can achieve a similar "live broadcast" effect.

[Cardinal’s Evidence·Aiwass]

Although in principle, Aiwass, who was also contracted by the Lord of Scale Feathers, should succeed and complete this "director" work... But for some unknown reason, the Pure White Saint personally changed the details of the ceremony - directly A group of "cameramen" were deployed to assist in completing the broadcast.

At ten o'clock in the evening on March 2, Aiwass put on his new clothes, took Isabel and Lily through the "elevator" and began to move upward.

And in the middle of the twisting sin thorn, lay an emerald of extremely high quality. There are layers of cracks inside it that are collapsing inward, and the closer it goes inward, the darker it becomes... It looks like irises and pupils.

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

[Cloak-Cardinal Robe]

[Feature: Automatic cleaning (triggered only on the dedication path)]

[Characteristics: Automatic repair (triggered only on the path of dedication)] [Mythical trait: scaled feathers (triggered only on the path of dedication)]

[Scaled Feathers: The priority of all divine spells of "Adaptation - Lord of Scaled Feathers" +1]

["——Hello, hey, hey? Can you see this line?"]

This robe can exert extremely powerful power on Aiwass - it is specially used to amplify the advanced divine arts acquired by Aiwass. No wonder other cardinals wear this outfit every day...

But the last line surprised Aiwass.

Who wrote this? Why does this "equipment introduction" pop up from your own panel?
...Is it the elf craftsman who made this dress, or...the Lord of Scales and Feathers himself?
But Aiwass felt that it didn't seem like it.

The Lord of Scale Feather has the strongest prophecy ability. Even if he didn't know that Aiwass had a system, he could definitely see his past and future performance and figure it out. And the elf craftsman who will only interact with Aiwass once has no need to use this method to talk to Aiwass through the air...

The most important thing is that the other party did not leave his identity or contact information at all!

Even if Aiwass wanted to respond, there was no way he could!
So Aiwass could only pretend not to see it.

Anyway, the attributes of this coat are very popular with Aiwass - not only does it have a strong priority bonus, but it also has a very practical self-cleaning function!

Anyway, put it on first!

And this kind of clothing with a sacrificial cape and a hole showing sin thorns and gems...and it's not red or white, looks too familiar.

Not many people noticed Aiwass at first, but later on, more and more people were reminded by the people around them. People who noticed Aiwass's attire spread rapidly in this small lift.

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

"——Wait, is that really a Cardinal? That's a human being."

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

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

"Can humans also be cardinals? It's fake, right..."

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

"Do you have any brains? Who dares to imitate the cardinal's clothes?"

Noises, whispers, quarrels, arguments... they have been heard since Aiwass appeared in front of people. Lily's presence was like nothingness, melting into the crowd. Even if Aiwass wanted to find her, it was not easy to find her.

And Isabel basically didn't make any disguise, but with her elf-like beauty, no one discussed her at all, and no one even took a second look at her. All eyes just glanced past her and focused on Aiwass.

This relieved Isabel, who was initially worried that her identity would be exposed.

But no one really noticed her, but it made her feel a little subtle.

——Forget it, it’s pretty good.

Thinking like this, Isabel took two more steps towards the crowd without leaving a trace.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, squeezed through the crowd, and got in front of Aiwass.

"This distinguished...Mr. Cardinal?"

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