Chapter 1354: Strange Waves
Because he was not familiar with the rules of the game, Marzaha, after experiencing the initial success, was quickly swept into the whirlpool and made a disgraced face.
Soliciting bribes, collecting taxes, and exposing them, this set of skillful and smooth three consecutive times, the entire Fearless Order was directly pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
Next, the performance of the followers of the Order of the Fearless exemplifies the attitude of the people of Picheng towards religion.
Before, when you were hello, I was good, everyone, since your order doesn't want money, then I'll believe it.
Now that the Order has been kicked out to collect money, the believers who originally believed it immediately started their own little calculations.
Has the Order solicited donations from itself?
No.
Does the Order solicit donations?
Judging from the reports, there is.
Where did the money come from?
It must have come from the hands of those devout believers.
In other words, this fearless order believes that it doesn't need money, but if it really believes, it will be ruined!
With this in mind, the believers quickly started their own little ninety-nine - between faith and Jin Hex, the vast majority of believers decisively and without hesitation chose the latter.
The reality of the people of Picheng has made the Marzaha people stupid.
In Shurima, the fatalistic Marzaha preaches the herdsmen to sacrifice the fattest rock sheep to the void; In Noxus, Marzaha, who was bait by immortality, was able to get the nobles to treat him as guests.
But to Piltover...... The sect that Marzaha had managed to build through fear was nothing to mention in front of Kimhax, and it almost fell apart overnight because of a report.
The difference between this...... It's just too big.
Even to the point where Marzaha began to doubt life.
In this case, the Void Prophet finally realized that Piltover was different from all the places he had been to before, and that the people here were so realistic that religion was a bit difficult to follow.
Even Marzaha was a little suspicious, if it weren't for the Void Crisis, he might not be able to pull up this fearless order at all!
In desperation, Marzaha had to keep a low profile - after discovering the reality of the people of Picheng, he had already begun to think about whether he could expand his influence by "believing in me to make a lot of money".
And after the public opinion could not dig up new information, it also quickly reversed course and began to fire at their ultimate goal.
Following the Order of Fearless, the new president of the Supreme Council, Oriana, was thrust into the limelight.
With the help of the events of the Fearless Order, Orianna is also suspected of selfishness in religious management - according to Leather City Today, is the Wings of Liberty no longer free, or is the Cult of the Guardian of the Storm no longer guarding the faithful? Why did the young chairman of the Supreme Council suddenly reward a religion of rich money with strong opportunistic overtones?
Is this a distortion of human nature, or is it a moral degradation?
When Camille was the chairman of the Supreme Council, although her family was not involved in the media industry, the media giants of Pitt City would at least sell her face, and although the reporting was not completely neutral and objective, most of the time it was impartial.
Now that Camille has left Pitt City and Oriana has taken the throne, the media giants have naturally changed their doors quickly, led by Pitt City Today, including the Pitt City Morning Post and the Evening News, a large number of newspapers have stood on the opposite side of Oriana, waving their flags and shouting for the downfall of the chairman of the Pitt City Supreme Council.
Orianna was overwhelmed.
Under the bombardment of newspapers, Oriana's popular approval rating has been declining, and her policies have been difficult to implement, but now, except for the police and garrisons, Orianna has almost no people of her own in Pitt City - she still has quite connections in the academic world, but because of the ignition plan, the people in the academic community are in a state of isolation and secrecy, and these connections are not needed!
All of a sudden, Orianna was almost embattled!
At this time, Marzaha, who was secretly observing, finally figured out what was going on - although Marzaha, who had no high-level connections in Phi City, could not fully understand what was going on, but it was confirmed that the new chairman of the Supreme Council did not seem to be very reliable......
So, after much deliberation, Marzaha began to change the court.
Seeing that Oriana's line is already a broken ship, I can't sink with her!
Malzaha's backlash was a heavy blow to Orianna - her previous commendation was partly to appease the panicked Piltover, and on the other hand, she hoped to have a share of her own power in the religious world, and now she is not afraid of the Order's direct backlash......
It's over.
At this time, Oriana finally realized that she had fallen into an absolute disadvantage in this struggle - in the absence of basic support, no matter how many ideas she had, no matter how good the methods, no one would implement them.
If it weren't for Catherine's support, I'm afraid Orianna would have been completely hollowed out by now!
Taking a step back, even with the help of the police and the garrison, Oriana's current role as chairman of the Supreme Council is almost in name only.
Then, at this critical moment, when Oriana was on the verge of despair, the Cult of the Storm Patronus suddenly extended an olive branch to her without warning.
Suddenly, overnight, the Twin Cities Cooperation Project made a statement, both explicitly and covertly, through various channels, saying that although the chairman of the Supreme Council had changed, he would continue to accept the guidance of the chairman of the Supreme Council.
The west wind is rising, and the east wind is rising again.
The political winds in Piltover have been completely unpredictable these days.
But in any case, after these cooperation projects and cooperation organizations, Orianna successfully took over her first basic market.
The impact of the Twin Cities project, which involved nearly a third of Piltover's share of tax revenue, was so profound that with this power as a foundation, Oriana was finally able to speak out loud.
Under these circumstances, no matter how dissatisfied some people in the Supreme Council may be, they cannot ignore the views of the Twin Cities Cooperation Organization and continue to act in an empty way.
So, in the blink of an end, Orianna gained a foothold overnight - and through this experience, she also grew a lot rapidly.
Although technically a political newcomer, Orianna is no longer a complete rookie at this time.
What's even more interesting is that because of the popularity of political gossip during this time, the panic atmosphere caused by the Void Crisis has been diluted a lot, and when people's attention is distracted, the horrors of the Void Crisis have almost become a memory of the past.
It seems that Piltover has returned to the way he was before the Void Crisis.
And for now, it seems that in the process, Orianna has gained a firm foothold, the other members of the Supreme Council have gained some power, and the people of Picheng have come out of the haze of the Void Crisis, and it seems that only our Mr. Void Prophet has been knocked out of a large amount of gold by the tax bureau and the religious committee, and he has been made a person inside and outside because of the change of court.
This time, Marzaha finally couldn't laugh.
