Chapter 512
The torso of the black robe saint that had just been placed here on the central avenue of Reinas City was deliberately damaged, and a crack ran from the neck to the waist and abdomen.
Donald stood in front of the statue, frowned listening to the sculptor beside him explain the time and cost of restoring the statue.
The statue of the black robe saint is a way of consolidating his beliefs that he came up with after deliberation and testing, inspired by the behavior of the sages of Claremont that he saw in the village.
The latter spread his beliefs to every household to the greatest extent possible by making statues, and finally achieved complete control over the mountain village and the surrounding area.
What Donald is going to do now is no different from what he did in the past, but there is a big difference in the objective environment.
The area and population of Reinas City will undoubtedly far exceed that of the mountain village. The increase in population will undoubtedly mean that it is difficult to unify ideas. Claremont can achieve this by doing good deeds for a few years. For his own purpose, Donald is impossible, so he can only win the faith of the majority of the people through some major events.
From what has happened before, Donald certainly did.
Destroy the notorious nobles, use the identity of Serveit Talos to improve the living environment in the city of Reinas, and issue a series of decrees that are beneficial to the people’s livelihood, these three things are the citizens of Reinas long awaited.
Therefore, during that time, Donald could clearly feel that the Power of Faith in his mind was growing at an extremely fast rate. Almost every day, there would be a large number of believers. He even thought that he could be better than expected. took control of the city months earlier.
However, after a month passed, Donald quickly found that the growth rate of Power of Faith was constantly slowing down or even disappearing.
It was then that Donald realized a critical issue.
The gratitude and worship of the people is time-limited!
Their goodwill and admiration for the black robe saint is gradually dissipating with the ebbing of time, after all, no one will miss and be grateful for an existence of unknown identity and origin all day long, everyone They are all working hard for life, they have no time, let alone the energy!
So Donald placed this statue in various densely populated areas of Reinas City on the grounds of thanking the life saving benefactor.
It can not only remind the residents of the existence of the black robe saint, but also make their thanksgiving and prayers have a purpose, so as not to be quickly consumed by time.
This is just the first step, and he is ready to use various publicity methods in the next few days to strengthen the impression of the black robe saint in the public’s mind.
However, the fact that his statue is being attacked at the very beginning of the plan is no doubt much to Donald’s chagrin, since the destruction of such a statue is itself a blow to the reputation of the black robe saint.
“Can you confirm who did it?”
This kind of crack across the entire torso is obviously an accident, but someone deliberately sabotaged it, and Donald can’t pretend that there is nothing. happened before.
The other party’s behavior of destroying the statue is equivalent to ignoring him. He must find this person and let everyone know what the consequences of doing so will be!
“The statue was destroyed an hour ago, at 1:00 p.m. We have already started inquiries with nearby businesses and residents, and we have not yet found a clear target.”
Things like destroying public finances should be handled by the lowest-level police officers, but now the chief of the Reinas City Police Department is personally in charge of the investigation, cautiously reporting the situation, From time to time peek at Donald’s expression, hoping to get some information from it.
“Can’t find the target…”
The statue of the black robe saint standing on the central avenue is the largest of all statues, with a height of three meters. If an ordinary person wants to cause this kind of damage, he must use certain tools. The damage time is at noon, and coupled with the sound of the statue being damaged, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of witnesses, but the police station has questioned it so far. No one said they saw someone vandalizing the statue, which is no doubt a little strange.
“Maybe it’s because of the recent construction work nearby, so the people nearby don’t pay too much attention to the situation here.”
The police chief obviously also considered this issue. , but he was more worried that the mayor would think they were incompetent, so he hurriedly found a reason to try to explain.
“Can you see how the statue was damaged?”
Donald ignored the police chief and turned his attention to the sculptor next to him.
“Please give me a few minutes.”
The sculptor also just arrived from home, and asked his assistant to pick up a wooden bench from a nearby shop, and immediately He stood up with a magnifying glass and began to observe.
Donald didn’t bother him, but just stood by, accidentally caught a glimpse of a colorful card in the shape of a thousand paper cranes stacked in the flower bed next to him, stepped forward and picked it up.
“Gulliver’s Circus…”
The content on the card is very simple, with a clown’s head on the front and some performances and tickets on the back price.
“I heard that it is a circus that parades around the empire, most recently in several cities in East Germany, and they have performed in several cities in East Germany. It should be our side now, this morning. I’m still hearing people talk about it.”
Stephanie leaned over to read the contents of the card and said softly.
“Oh? The circus coming to Renas today?”
Compared with the circus show, Donald was obviously more concerned about when they appeared and where the cards appeared. Significance of this neighborhood.
They were here just now!
“Mr. Mayor, I think it’s necessary for you to come and see what’s going on here.”
At this time, Anthony’s voice sounded next to him again. Werther is called, but he will always use honorific titles such as Mr. Mayor, Sir Talos.
“What’s the matter?”
Donald glanced at Anthony’s position, walked over quickly and asked.
“Just now I saw people from the Anomaly Bureau go to the nearby block. After asking, I found out that a fruit stand there died an hour ago. The death looks a bit strange. I see the time and the statue. The time of the destruction coincides, and I think there may be some tricks in it.”
Anthony has been the director of the Anomaly Bureau for a long time, and he is very clear about the appearance of some people in the bureau, so Immediately I met on the street and went over to inquire about the situation.
“Well…I’m not convenient to go there, you can go and see for me, and let me know if you find anything.”
Although Donald wanted to check it out in person, But his current identity is the mayor of Reinas City. It is understandable to come to see the statue of the black robe saint. After all, it is his own life saving benefactor, but he does not like this kind of murder that happened in the market. Not suitable to go to the site.
On the one hand, this is inconsistent with his “personality”. Serveit Talos is not a person who is willing to go to the civilian area to visit the murder scene.
On the other hand, his appearance is likely to be misunderstood by others as something important happened. In case the news agency and the masses on Renas’ side are attracted again, it will be self-defeating.
