Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 45: broken statue

On the central avenue of Reinas City, the torso of the black-robed saint that had just been placed here was deliberately damaged, and a crack ran from the neck to the waist and abdomen.

Donald stood in front of the statue, frowning as the sculptor beside him explained the time and cost of restoration.

The statue of the saint in black robe is a way to consolidate his beliefs that he came up with after careful consideration 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 first place, 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 his goals by doing good deeds for a few years, but Donald is not. Impossible, so he can only win the faith of the majority of the people through some major events.

From the previous situation, Donald undoubtedly did this.

Destroying the notorious nobles, using the identity of Serveit Talos to improve the living environment in the city of Reinas, and issuing a series of decrees that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, these three things are the three things that the citizens of Reinas have been looking forward to for a long time.

Therefore, during that time, Donald could clearly feel that the power of faith in his mind was growing at an extremely fast rate, and a large number of believers appeared almost every day. He even thought that he could control this a few months earlier than expected. city.

However, after a month passed, Donald soon found that the growth rate of the power of faith was slowing down or even disappearing.

Only then did Donald realize a critical issue.

There is a time limit to the gratitude and worship of the people!

Their favor and admiration for the black-robed saint is gradually dissipating with the passage of time. After all, no one will miss and be grateful for an existence of unknown identity and origin all day long. Everyone is working hard for life. No time, no energy!

So Donald placed this statue in various densely populated areas in Renas City on the grounds of thanking the benefactor.

It can not only remind the residents of the existence of the black-robed saint, but also make their thanksgiving and prayers have a purpose, and will not be quickly consumed by time.

This is only the first step, and he is ready to use various publicity methods to strengthen the impression of the black-robed saint in the minds of the public in the next few days.

However, now that the plan has just started, someone has attacked his statue, which undoubtedly annoys Donald, because the destruction of this statue itself is a blow to the reputation of the black-robed saint.

"Can you confirm who did it?"

This kind of crack across the entire torso obviously couldn't be an accident, but someone deliberately destroyed it, and Donald naturally couldn't assume that nothing had happened.

The other party's behavior of destroying the statue is equivalent to not taking him seriously. He must find this person and let everyone know what the consequences of doing so will be!

"The time when the statue was destroyed was an hour ago, that is, at 1 pm. We have already begun to inquire about nearby businesses and residents, and we have not yet found a clear target."

Destruction of public finances and other matters should be handled by the lowest-level police officers, but now it is the chief of the Reinas City Police Department who is personally in charge of the investigation of this matter, carefully reporting the situation, and stealing from time to time. Seeing Donald's expression, I hope to get some information from it.

"Cannot find target"

The statue of the black-robed saint standing on the Central Avenue is the largest of all the statues, with a height of three meters. If ordinary people want to cause this kind of damage, they must use certain tools. The destruction time is at noon, and the statue is added. It stands to reason that there should be many witnesses to the sound of the damage, but no one has said that they have seen the person who destroyed the statue, which is undoubtedly a bit strange.

"Maybe it's because of the construction that's been going on nearby recently, so the people nearby don't pay too much attention to the situation here."

The police chief obviously had this in mind too, but he was more worried that the mayor would think they were incompetent and rushed to find a reason to try to explain it.

"Can you see how the statue was destroyed?"

Donald ignored the police chief, but turned his attention to the sculptor next to him.

"Please give me a few minutes."

The sculptor had just arrived from home, and asked his assistant to pick up a wooden bench from a nearby shop, then stood up with a magnifying glass and began to observe.

Donald didn't bother him, 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, and walked up to pick it up.

"Gulliver's Circus"

The content on the card is very simple, with a clown's head printed on the front, and some performances and ticket prices on the back.

"I heard that it is a circus that parades around the empire. Recently, they have performed in several cities in East Germany. It should be our side now. I still heard people talking about it this morning. What about this."

Stephanie leaned over to see the contents of the card and said softly.

"Oh? To the circus from Renas today?"

Compared with this circus show, Donald was obviously more concerned about the time when they appeared and the significance of these cards appearing in this nearby area.

They just came here!

"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. He naturally wouldn't call him Serveter outside, but would always use the honorific titles such as Mr. Mayor and Sir Talos.

"What's wrong?"

Donald turned his head and glanced at Anthony's position, walked over quickly and asked.

"Just now I saw someone from the Discord Bureau go to the nearby block, and after I asked, I found out that a fruit stand there died an hour ago. The death is a bit strange. I think the time coincides with the time when the statue was destroyed. , I think there may be some tricks in it."

Anthony has been the director of the alien for a long time, and he is very clear about the appearance of some people in the bureau, so he went over to inquire about the situation as soon as he met him on the street.

"Well, it's not convenient for me to go there. You can take a look for me and let me know if you find anything."

Although Donald would like to go check it out in person, he is the mayor of Renas City now. It is understandable to come to check the statue of the black-robed saint. After all, he is his savior, but it seems like this happened He was not fit to go to the scene of a murder in the marketplace.

On the one hand, this does not match 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.
