Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 100 Goddess Election
When Bai Jue arrives at the Holy Waterfall, a major event is about to happen in the Parthenon. For various reasons, the Parthenon is now in urgent need of a goddess who can truly hold power in the eyes of the outside world.

There are only two saints left in the Parthenon now, but the election has already been decided, and Izhisa can only be a runner-up.

……

Astraea slowly woke up, and the familiar chirping of birds came from the mountain forest outside the house, shrouded in a turbid darkness, with sparse stars dotted on the mountain line, hazy and extremely distant.

It's still dark, but it's time for her to work...

"Your Highness, before you start today's work, please drink this special cup of scented tea from Shenyin Mountain." the maid said.

Asharuya picked up the hot Shenyin Mountain Flower Tea and took a small sip. To be honest, if it wasn't for the deal with Bai Jue, she wouldn't do these messy things.

The position of the saint was pushed to her by her adoptive father's supporters, but there was really no choice for the position of the goddess. Even if she didn't know the magic of resurrection, the people of the Parthenon would have nominated her.

All this is just because of what the "holy son" once said. How ironic! Shuofeng and Wentai are both holy sons, but they are treated completely differently.

I really don't understand what those people are thinking...

"Your Highness, your white skirt and black robe are ready. Do you want to take a look?" the maid asked.

"no need."

"I really look forward to how you look in a white dress. You must be very beautiful. The temperament exuding from you is like the owner of the white dress from birth, just like the goddess we worship in Greece, who is the goddess of wisdom and peace. Symbol." The maid said longingly.

The white dress has almost become a special name for the goddess in Greece.

In Greece, almost no one wears a long white dress, as it seems to have become a form of respect.

On the day of the Festival of Flowers, all Parthenon personnel will wear black robes and black skirts. Only the last elected goddess will wear a holy white skirt and attract everyone's attention!

The culture of the Parthenon has penetrated into the lives of Greek people, especially the city of Athens.

On every election day, all citizens including tourists who come specially for the event will wear black to blend in with the whole atmosphere. One can imagine the scene: hibiscus and jasmine flowers all over the city, spectacular and gorgeous black crowds, and the elegant and dignified woman in a white dress, step by step ascending to the altar of the goddess.

That peerless and independent white figure is the crowning of glory far beyond all, and it is the perfect symbol that inspires countless ethnic groups in a country!

But to be honest, Astraea prefers black. White is too flawless and not as inclusive as black. She doesn’t know how long she will keep pretending like this...

……

As election day approaches, the city of Athens is covered with flowers.

A city is like a perfect garden. The edges and corners of high-rise buildings seem to be smoothed by these beautiful branches and tidbits. You are obviously walking in a modern city, but you seem to be traveling to a place with flower branches as walls. The petals are the streets of the ancient mythical country.

Black robes and black skirts have gradually appeared in people's sight. Black is actually a very broad definition, not to mention that Mediterranean clothing is ever-changing. Even black has many different colors, such as shiny and smooth leather clothes, and dark colors. The bright interlaced black stripes are a moment for everyone to show their unique side.

As for the styles, they are even more diverse. Black robes and black skirts are just general terms, and only Parthenon personnel will strictly abide by the dress regulations of robes and skirts. Citizens and tourists don't care as long as the colors are generally correct.

The election will take place over a total of four days.

The first thing that ignited the entire Athens was the sacred fire of the Parthenon from Asia.

The holy fire from the Aparthenon affiliated temples in various regions on the five continents will come across the ocean. The affiliated temples will write their supporters into the sacred fire, and a group of the most loyal adjudicators will conduct the process along the way. Escort to Greece to the city of Athens, ensuring that there will be no mistakes in every sacred fire.

A total of five holy fires arrived on this day, and these five holy fires also represent the official start of the goddess election!
The Forbidden Spell Elder personally presided over the election process, which was extremely serious and solemn.

The holy fire was lit, and many dragonfly-like flame elves flew towards the statues of Asharuya and Yizhisha, setting off their holy and noble images.

The support ratio on this day was three to two.

Although Astraea III and Ishisa II have been selected, they cannot show it so obviously, at least to let the outside world think that this is a very fierce competition.

Throughout the following night, many people who supported Izhisa and did not know the inside story had trouble sleeping. Although the outcome of the Holy Flame was predictable to many insiders, the advantages brought at the beginning could easily affect subsequent public opinion.

But by the next day, those worried people couldn't help but smile.

Announced today are the support intentions of the world's major magic organizations.

The Forbidden Spell Elders arranged for Yizhisha to win this round.

From the outside, it seems that Yishisha is much better than Asharuya in terms of connections and power. Magic organizations from all over the world are more willing to support Yishisha as the goddess. In this contest, Yishisha is the winner!

The election has been going on for just two days now, and some people are happy while others are worried. The final result concerns the interests of too many people. Yishisha’s huge advantage has triggered another wave of praise for Yishisha.

The Forbidden Spell Elder secretly recorded these people. These are potential factors that tend to favor Yizhisha and need to be controlled.

When the anxious night finally passed, on the third day of the election, the Forbidden Spell Elder announced the support from within the Parthenon!
Internal support is also decisive. If the internal support intentions are equal, or if Yizhisha is in the lead, then Yizhisha will definitely be the goddess!

"I am Hailong, the Lord of the Knights' Hall. I have sworn to serve Saint Asharuya until death."

Hailong read out his support in front of the two statues. His words also showed that once Yizhisha became the goddess, he, the master of the Knights Hall, could also pack up and leave.

But internal support is like this. If you make the wrong choice, you will be doomed. There is no such thing as neutrality in the Parthenon. It will either be glorious or fall!

"We are willing to pledge our allegiance to Saint Asharuya!" the Golden Knights of the Knights' Hall declared loudly.

"We are willing to pledge allegiance to Saint Asharuya!" the Silver Moon Knights of the Knights' Hall declared loudly.

"We are willing to pledge our allegiance to Saint Asharuya!" the Knights of the Blue Star Knights of the Knight Hall declared loudly.

The entire Knights' Hall represented the most powerful armed force of the Parthenon. They all supported Asharuya as the new goddess. This majestic momentum spread throughout the city of Athens, making this election once again "unfair".

The three-day election was full of ups and downs in the eyes of outsiders, but in the hearts of Yizhisha and Astraea, it was very clear.

They knew very well what the final result would be. In any case, the two sides would most likely be evenly matched in terms of internal and external votes, and then Asharuya would become the goddess with a slight advantage.

This is to deal with the Holy City and for the "Son of God." "We in Athens have always maintained the tradition of democracy and fairness. Although the vast majority of goddesses in the past have ascended to the top of the Goddess with an overwhelming advantage, this time is completely different. This shows that we have two outstanding candidates for the goddess!

They are all outstanding enough, and no matter who ends up being the goddess, she will be able to bring endless glory to our Parthenon." The Forbidden Spell Elder said loudly.

His voice cast a spell and could be heard wherever people stood in the city.

The close result means the final election will enter a special stage.

Many people anticipated this part.

"Since we are equally outstanding, both inside and outside, the goddess will be decided by us Athens ourselves in the end. People in black robes and black skirts in Athens, who are you willing to support? Give us a final answer. The people's will is the will of God!" The Forbidden Spell Elder said to everyone in the city of Athens.

The people’s will is God’s will!
The final decision is left to this city.

Every resident of Athens has a vote.

In fact, this is the oldest way of electing goddesses. The first goddesses were elected by the residents of Athens.

But after thousands of years, the goddess gradually became the focus of the world, and the votes from the city of Athens were no longer used as a reference.

After such a long time, even the people of Athens themselves forgot that they also had the right to vote for the goddess, and even became the key to the selection of the goddess. The whole city was boiling for a while!

"Choosing a goddess to cover up the negative impact brought by the previous Palmisano and to make the Parthenon strong again is old-fashioned, but also very effective." Izhisa commented on the Parthenon.

Asharuya remained silent and didn't say anything more.

"At this moment, your decision is the will of God. Our glorious people of God, please listen to the truest call of your heart and tell us who is the daughter of God in our Parthenon!" said the forbidden spell elder who presided over the ceremony.

Everyone in Athens, even tourists who come here just to feel the atmosphere, is eligible to choose black robes and black skirts!

"Have you seen the two kinds of flowers that can be seen everywhere in this city?" At this time, the voice of the Forbidden Spell Elder echoed in the air, attracting everyone's attention.

I don’t know when, but the whole city was silently filled with two kinds of flowers, one was jasmine and the other was hibiscus.

The Forbidden Spell Elder cast a spell, and his voice seemed to resound in everyone's mind. It wasn't a loud roar, but it could be heard clearly by 900,000 people.

"Do you know the blessing method of praying?"

Of course, people in Athens knew the prayer method, which was the most magical spell in the blessing system.

This spell is opened by a blessing mage. During the duration of the prayer spell, all those who pray will give this spell some power. The more people who pray, the more powerful this spell will be!
Once upon a time, a Greek goddess prayed for a thunder spell, and people in a city prayed together, making this thunder spell even more terrifying than the forbidden curse, and killed the tyrannical Titan at that time.

This prayer can be for rain, for wind, for auspicious snow, for health and healing, or for the power to destroy heaven and earth, for the power to destroy gods and slay immortals, as long as there are enough people praying together. More, a small prayer spell will become extremely magnificent!

Of course, there are only a few people who can perform this prayer method.

The former temple mother Pamixi was the only remaining petitioner in the Parthenon, and now, relying on the enhancement obtained from the soul of 'Bai Jue', she can do it.

"Do you see the flowers around you? The hibiscus represents Asharuya, and the jasmine represents Yizhisha. When you hold the flowers you want and silently recite the words of prayer, it is equivalent to helping me complete a prayer spell."

“For every ten thousand prayers, one more hibiscus flower will bloom in our statue of Saint Astraea, and for every ten thousand prayers, one more hibiscus flower will bloom in our statue of Saint Irisya. Jasmine Millennium Flower!”

The method of praying is rare in the world, but now it appears in this grand election, and the people of Athens can't help but feel excited about it!

This was probably the most "fair and just" election. When the two saints were tied, the people of Athens would make the decision.

The most important thing is that the method of prayer cannot be mixed with any falsehood. Every petitioner must abide by this law. They cannot hold two kinds of flowers in their hands, let alone recite the words of prayer twice, and even if It is difficult for the caster to control the final result, everything is under people's sight!

Many elections can be operated behind closed doors. Even if the seal is opened in front of everyone, there are still many ways to change the outcome.

But magic is difficult to operate behind the scenes.

So the temple specially prepared
From the expressions on Asharuya and Yizhisha's faces, it can be seen that they are not completely ignorant of this prayer decision, but have made it through.

It is not unknown whether people in the city of Athens prefer Astraea or Yishiya.

Izhisha had just been resurrected, and very few people knew her. What she had done for the people of Athens was all in the past, while Astraea's contributions to the people of Athens were all seen by people.

This is a no-brainer vote.

As for the intentions of tourists, the city of Athens limits the number of tourists to a maximum of 10,000. Compared with the huge base of 800,000, the final result is determined by the local residents of Athens.

"Do the two saints agree with this prayer decision?" The Forbidden Spell Elder symbolically asked for their opinions.

The two of them didn't think too much about it and nodded at the same time, indicating their agreement with this approach. Yizhisha also admitted defeat. It might not be a bad thing for Wentai's adopted daughter to become a goddess. It was the existence of this "holy son"...

The two saints stood beside the Forbidden Spell Elder. At this point, any extra words were meaningless. All they had to do was quietly watch these citizens...

The city of Athens is the foundation of the Parthenon, and it is perfect that the election is ultimately decided by the people of Athens.

"After you have completed your prayer, please release your hands and let it fly to the sky with your wishes!"

People held flowers and fulfilled their prayers one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of flowers, as holy as the ripples of snow on the Alps, dance slowly in the festive atmosphere of the Acropolis of Athens, their petals and petals intertwined and the fragrance overflowing.

And the eyes of the people watching are like an inverted starry sky, with flower rain flying towards the cloud of prayer, and the light of the cloud of prayer bathes everyone's shoulders...

The prayers were completed one after another during this period of time, and this flower rain that seemed like time was flowing backwards gave everyone a stunning picture. God has always been an ethereal concept in the hearts of the people.

Everyone's prayers were invisible, but this time, people could watch their own prayers, and watch the flowers representing their beliefs float toward the statue, being chosen, recognized, and cared for...

"The final result is as you can see, Asharuya has seven flowers, Yizhisha has two flowers..."
