On the central avenue of Renas City, the part of the torso of the black-robed sage that had just been placed here was deliberately destroyed, and a crack ran from the position of the neck to the waist and abdomen.

Donald stood in front of the statue, frowning as the sculptor next to him explained the time and cost of repairing the statue.

The Black-robed Sage statue was a thoughtful and testing way to solidify his faith, inspired by the actions of the Claremont Sage he had seen in the village.

The latter spread his faith to every household as much as possible by making statues, and finally achieved complete control over the mountain village and the surrounding area.

What Donald is doing now is no different from what he did at the beginning, but there is a big difference in the objective environment.

The size and population of the city of Renas are undoubtedly much larger than that mountain village, and the increase in population undoubtedly means that it is difficult to unify ideas, Claremont can achieve his goals by doing good deeds for several years, but it is impossible for Donald, so he can only win the faith of the majority of the people through some major events.

Judging from the previous situation, Donald undoubtedly did this.

The elimination of the notorious aristocracy, the use of Sevet Talos to improve the living conditions in the city of Renas, and the promulgation of a series of decrees beneficial to the people's livelihood are all three things that the citizens of Renas have been waiting for for a long time.

As a result, Donald could clearly feel the power of faith in his mind growing at a rapid rate, with a large number of believers appearing almost every day, and he even thought that he would be able to take control of the city a few months earlier than expected.

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

That's when Donald realized a critical problem.

The gratitude and adoration of the populace is time-limited!

Their favor and worship for the black-robed sage is gradually dissipating with the passage of time, after all, no one will be grateful for the nostalgia of an unknown and unknown existence all day long, everyone is running around for life, they have no time, let alone that energy!

Donald placed the statue in various populated areas of the city of Renas as a token of gratitude for his life-saver.

It can not only serve to remind the residents of the existence of the black-robed sage, but also allow their gratitude and prayers to have a purpose, rather than being quickly consumed by time.

This was only the first step, and he was ready to start using various methods of public opinion propaganda in the coming days to strengthen the impression of the black-robed saint in the minds of the people.

However, the fact that his statue had only been launched was no longer in its infancy, to Donald's chagrin, as the destruction of such a statue was itself a blow to the reputation of the black-robed sage.

"Can you confirm who did it?"

This crack across the entire torso obviously could not have been accidental, but someone deliberately sabotage, and Donald naturally couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.

The other party's destruction of the statue is tantamount to not taking him seriously, he must find this person and let everyone know what the consequences will be!

"The statue was vandalized an hour ago, at 1 p.m., and we have already started to inquire about nearby businesses and residents, and we have not yet found a clear target. ”

Matters such as the destruction of public finances should be handled by the lowest level of police officers, but now it is the chief of the Renas City Police Department who is personally in charge of the investigation of this matter, carefully reporting the situation, peeking at Donald's expression from time to time, hoping to get some information from it.

"Target ...... not found"

The statue of the black-robed sage standing on the central avenue is the largest of all the statues, with a height of three meters, ordinary people must use certain tools to cause this kind of damage, and the destruction time is at noon, plus the sound of the statue being damaged, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of witnesses, but the police station has interrogated until now, but no one has said that they have seen the person who destroyed the statue, which is undoubtedly a little strange.

"Maybe it's because of the construction work in the neighborhood recently, so the people in the neighborhood don't pay too much attention to the situation here. ”

The police chief apparently had this in mind, 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 destroyed?"

Donald didn't pay attention to the police chief, but looked at the sculptor next to him.

"Please give me a few minutes. ”

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

Donald didn't bother him, just stood on the sidelines, accidentally caught a glimpse of a colorful card in the shape of a thousand paper cranes in the flowerbed next to him, and stepped forward to pick it up.

"Gulliver's Circus ......"

The contents of the card are 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 territory of the Empire, and has been performing in several cities in East Germany for some time now, and it must have come to our side, and I am still hearing about it this morning. ”

Stephanie leaned over to see the contents of the card and whispered.

"Oh, the circus coming to Renas today?"

Donald was clearly more concerned about when they appeared and what the significance of the cards in the neighborhood than about the circus show.

They've been here before!

"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 beside him again, and outside he naturally did not use Sewit, but always used the honorific titles such as Mr. Mayor and Sir Taros.

"What's wrong?"

Donald asked, glancing over at Anthony's location.

"Just now I saw people from the Anomaly Bureau go to the nearby block, and after asking, I found out that a fruit stand there had died an hour ago, and the death was a little strange, and I saw that the time coincided with the time when the statue was destroyed, and I thought it might be a bit tireless. ”

Anthony has been the director of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation for a short time, and he is naturally 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.

"Hmm...... It's inconvenient for me to go over, so you can go and see for me, and come back and tell me if you find anything. ”

Although Donald would love to go over and check it out for himself, his current status as the mayor of Renas City, it is understandable that he came to check the statue of the black-robed Sage, after all, he is his savior, but it is not appropriate for him to go to the scene of a murder like this in the market.

On the one hand, this does not match his "personality", Sewit Talos is not a person who is willing to visit the scene of a murder in a civilian area.

On the other hand, his appearance is likely to be misunderstood by others as something important has happened, and it will be self-defeating if it repeatedly attracts the news agency and the crowd on the Rainas side.
