Chapter 4154: Yes, Sorcerer Supreme (V)
And in the councilor voting session, the original hundreds of candidates were left with only thirty-something. At this time, a round of secret ballot was conducted to eliminate most of them, and finally only five people were left. Then these five people took turns to give speeches and conduct the final round of canvassing.
Strange originally thought the other four were cannon fodder, but in fact, their speeches were quite decent, and it couldn't be said that there was no content at all. Some said to strengthen interstellar security management, some said to focus on restoring the economy of the large portal area, and some said to focus on helping weak civilizations. Anyway, it sounded quite like that.
Strange didn't prepare a speech draft at all, and he didn't know what to say. He thought that anyway, he was the Sorcerer Supreme, so talking about magic-related things was fine. So he talked about the common development of magic and science, and efforts to improve the level of magic education, etc. Anyway, he changed the set of building magic colleges on Earth.
But he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, the entire conference hall was silent. Strange didn't panic. This three major empires clearly wanted to use cold violence and had to make him look ugly today. He was too lazy to pay attention to this group of villains. After finishing, he flicked his cloak and went down.
"Damn it!" The Skrull general watching the entire election process in the back hall gritted his teeth and said, "This group of humans is really cunning, they actually thought of such a way to break the situation! This will definitely make people's hearts fluctuate."
"Humans do have too much advantage in magic. At present, except for a few native magic races and races that use divine power, the number of races that can use magic is estimated to be less than three digits. Most of them are just barely able to use it. There are really too few who are proficient in this like humans. You say who doesn't covet their portals?"
"But this Sorcerer Supreme is just talking, can he really teach us portals? Even if he teaches, how many races can learn?"
"Can't learn portals, can't learn anything else? Even if there is one disciple in a civilization who can become a Sorcerer Supreme, will you do it?"
The Skrull general and the Duke of the Shi'ar Empire sighed together.
Don't look at the Shi'ar Empire as if it is a civilization that can use magic, but in fact it is not. They use divine power, which is the set of Asgard. Their power comes from the Shi'ar twin gods, but it is not as strong as Asgard. It can only be said that they have reached a balance of quality and quantity to rank among the three major empires, but they have always been the last one before, and they have been better recently.
The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are even worse. They haven't had any magic inheritance for a long time. Although all power goes to the same destination in the end, magic power is obviously closer to the source. The closer the power is to the source, the lower the loss and the higher the efficiency, and the stronger it is.
And they also have another hidden worry in their hearts. Because the two strongest of the three major empires are both mechanical civilizations, this leads to any civilization in their jurisdiction that wants to develop mechanical civilization must be subject to them. Even that kind of civilization whose technological level is only one line behind them, just because they started late, was controlled by them in terms of lifeline resources, so they had to listen to them instead of overthrowing them and becoming the boss themselves.
Over the years, the three major empires have also used methods such as locking technology or controlling key resources to limit many civilizations with great potential to ensure that their status is not shaken.
But if Strange really wants to engage in some magic education, and really teaches a few magic civilizations, not to mention as strong as humans, even if it is one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, their restriction methods targeting the technological route will fail by more than half.
Even if there is no way to teach a whole civilization, letting a civilization that was originally very advanced produce a very powerful mage, the consequences are about the same. Although magic depends on talent, magic talent is not unique to humans. Who can say that among so many civilizations, there really isn't one or two with magic talent?
If they really bypass the technology control lock, then this group of civilizations is also a force that cannot be underestimated, and the three major empires are a bit weak now. If this group of people doesn't talk about martial arts and takes advantage of the danger to stab the three major empires, then the interstellar situation is afraid that it will be chaotic.
Originally, the three major empires did arrange some actors in the speech session, but they were all booing. No matter what the human leader who came up said, they only needed to mock him below, creating an atmosphere that humans are just country bumpkins and cannot be on the stage, so they could give humans a hard time.
This method is a bit childish, but anyway, there is no need to pay anything. If it succeeds, it's fine. If it doesn't, there is no loss. Then why not disgust humans?
Who would have thought that after Strange finished these words, many civilizations had some of their own little thoughts. The actors who had been arranged also had their own thoughts and had no time to make strange noises below. Either they were busy pressing keyboards to send letters to their own people, or they were whispering to their companions, or even flirting with some allies.
The eerie silence lasted for several minutes. And Strange took this as a warning from the three major empires, flew back to his seat, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed. He didn't listen to what they said at all, anyway, there were no good words, and it was annoying to listen to them.
Just like this, the speech ended, and the next round of voting began. This time it was a real-name vote. In fact, long before the election started, which civilizations would vote for whom had already been arranged. This link is the real formality.
But because of Strange's words, the originally very boring process really performed a few thrilling moments.
Those who were originally arranged to vote for Strange would worry that they would vote for humans so crisply, which might cause further suspicion from the three major empires, making the three major empires feel that they were moved by the chips thrown out by Strange; while those who were originally arranged not to vote would worry about offending Strange, and if they wanted to engage in some dark transactions later, it would be more troublesome.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the conference hall could no longer be said to be surging, but the atmosphere was enthusiastic on the surface. The election, which had not had a ripple for thousands of years, was really fiercely contested.
When voting, everyone started to flirt; when counting votes, every vote read out caused a large area of uproar. Everyone's brains were turning to smoke, and they were all thinking about what this civilization meant by voting for this person, whether Strange's chips, whether he would accept it or not, and whether he really didn't care about the three major empires.
Although the political landscape in the universe has been stagnant for thousands of years, many young politicians have no real election experience, but being able to kill out from their own clan and sit in this position is itself a human essence. When the brain turns, it is enough. Most people understand that the three major empires have already lost once.
Sure enough, when the vote results came out, the faces of the three major empires were already ugly to the extreme.
Of course, they wanted to arrange for Strange to win, but not to win in such an overwhelming way. I saw that in the voting results, Strange's votes were more than the other four combined.
The script they originally arranged was that Strange won by a narrow margin, and at the same time, the person whose votes were similar to his would also be arranged by them into the standing organization to specifically oppose Strange.
Now it's good, Strange's votes are so high, not only will it make the other few people look useless, but it will also cause those who didn't vote for him to start feeling pressure. Because if most people don't vote for him, anyway, he can't remember, and even if he remembers, it's the law that doesn't blame the public; but just these few people didn't vote, then he can definitely remember. Although the Speaker doesn't have much power, he is the Sorcerer Supreme. It's simple to engage in some things later and give these few civilizations small shoes to wear, right?
Sure enough, as soon as this voting result came out, the faces of some people below began to become a bit terrified. They began to constantly look for people from the three major empires in the crowd, wanting to find support and strength from them.
Strange opened his eyes and glanced at the voting results, and let out a sneer. He was actually just laughing, the three major empires really didn't even act, wishing everyone would vote for him, and then stuffed this black pot hard to him.
But this sneer sounded in the ears of those who didn't vote for him, which was no different from the whisper of death. This revenge list is really too short. No matter if you flip from front to back or from back to front, it won't be long before you flip to them.
But at this time, the three major empires were also silent. Although this result exceeded their expectations, it didn't get out of their control. And today's start was unfavorable, they still had to calculate how to quickly find the place, and they had no time to ignore those small civilizations.
This led to even greater pressure on those civilizations. Seeing that the three major empires didn't intend to ignore them, they were eager to make up for it. If they want Strange not to hold a grudge, they can only find ways to please him. They hurriedly contacted their own clansmen. They couldn't do big things, but they could still do small things.
Therefore, when Strange was led to the Speaker's office, he found that the conditions of this office were actually quite good.
The office is a huge ellipse, the left side is the office area, with desks and some office machines; the right side is a 270-degree panoramic skylight, which happens to be able to see the situation of the other two planets. The planet shield flickers with faint light, countless standard spaceships come and go, and the light blue tail flames weave into a beautiful net.
What's even stranger is that the expected warning did not come. The table is clean, the machine is running smoothly, the main brain is loud, and even the hot water in the water dispenser is burned.
Strange was indeed a bit confused. Is this the sugar-coated bullet of the three major empires? First use these seemingly normal, even very considerate arrangements to paralyze yourself, and then give yourself a blow?
When thinking of this, the main brain made a "beep" sound, and then a voice Strange was quite familiar with sounded:
"Hello, I am Jarvis. I just retrieved the surveillance of the office and found that three groups of people have come here to clean up. From their physical characteristics and genes, it can be seen that they come from three civilizations. The names and geographical locations of the civilizations have been sent to your desktop."
"Jarvis, how did you come?" Strange was a bit surprised and said, "Is Wanda okay? Your little daughter should be born around Christmas, right?"
"Yes, Wanda doesn't intend to continue to delay. She can just take advantage of the Christmas holiday to rest. And I also have three days off for Christmas, we are preparing to go to Long Island for a vacation together."
"Not bad." Strange threw himself into the swivel chair behind the desk, and even put his legs on the table, saying, "Then are you here to assist me in being this Speaker?"
"Yes, I am temporarily acting as your electronic private secretary. Considering that you are not good at paperwork, this part of the work will be handled by me, you just need to sign."
"Alright, let's start. Which documents need to be signed?"
"Look down at the display screen in front of you, the main content of the document is on it. There is a smaller display screen on your right hand, and the pen for signing is floating next to it. I will help you switch the content, you just need to sign on it after taking a look."
Strange sat up straight and looked at the screen on the table. The text on it had been translated into English, but unfortunately, as a typical American, he couldn't fully understand English either.
"My God, what is all this?!" Strange couldn't help but say, "What is 'Suggestions on Coupling Coordination in the Systematic Work of Political Concentration Improvement in the Pan-Ring Star Area'? What is this?"
"If you don't understand, just sign."
"If I don't understand, how can I sign?"
"It's normal not to understand. Documents written in this form are meant to be incomprehensible."
"What if I didn't understand but signed, and passed some extremely harmful measures?"
"Extremely harmful measures will not be written like this. They will be written as simply as possible, so that you didn't understand but signed, and it has nothing to do with them."
"But if I understood, I wouldn't sign."
"The premise of understanding is that you have to read. As far as I know, the average time for your at least thirteen predecessors to read a document is 0.02 seconds. To be honest, faster than me."
"This is not reading at all?!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the three major empires not having good intentions, you could also not read it. Anyway, if there are any harmful measures, the ones most easily harmed are them."
"Makes sense." Strange tilted his head, signed his name on the document with a big pen. ===== CHAPTER 4155 =====
