After Doolin received several guests individually, the charity auction began.

This time, because Dohrin invited the church as a co-organizer of the preparation, they provided a lot of valuable auction items for this auction. The Church is probably one of the most well-preserved forces in the entire world for things like antiques. Even now, some historians who want to look up more detailed historical materials before the Great Destruction have to go to the church headquarters in Sunset City, where there are still a number of relatively complete codexes, which carry countless times more complete records of history than those that have been circulated in the outside world.

Not only these books and codexes, but also some antique artifacts, many of which are fine, with ecclesiastical backgrounds, at least the items participating in this auction will not be underestimated by some discerning people.

There are always some people who think that charity auctions are just cheating money, and getting something that may have some meaning, such as a sock worn by a historical celebrity or Mr. Horn used by a famous ancient queen, etc., but these things do not have any actual value, plus the final donation, will not make everyone feel that this is real spontaneous charity, but more like a trick to rob celebrities under the guise of charity.

However, they can't avoid it, the higher the level of society, the more attention and focus on philanthropy are tilted. It's not that all high-level people are enthusiastic about doing good deeds, it's purely because once comments like "willing to donate and enthusiastic about charity" appear in court and appear in front of the jury, those jury members who do not have advanced degrees and knowledge and are at the bottom of society will have a hazy favor.

Perhaps the help they received came from this "defendant" gentleman, even if the help he received many years ago did not come from this gentleman's pocket, but he also helped many people who were in need like himself.

This may seem like a naïve or even impossible message, but it actually works, and in several famous cases, it was the word "charity" that really shook the jury resolutions.

A person who is willing to do good deeds must not be a bad person.

This is the consensus of the society, and besides, the money from charitable donations can still be deducted from tax deductions to a certain extent, so why not donate the taxes that should have been given to the empire in exchange for a good reputation and insurance?

When everyone arrived, the charity auction officially began, and it was a unique auction, because there was no quiet auction hall here, it was open-air, but there was an inexplicable atmosphere spreading. The wonderful scent of nature and the white veil, a symbol of purity, have aroused the enthusiasm of some people, so much so that from the first hot auction item, each item has to go through several rounds of bidding before it can be taken.

"The next auction is a very special commodity ......", the young auctioneer who had worked with Doolin stood on the podium and waved his small hammer in his hand, while Dürin's attention was on the person next to him.

Harry, the guy got an invitation out of nowhere, ran in, and sat right next to him.

At this time, Harry is a little low-spirited and not as high-spirited as before, and he has been active in the social and political arena for many years as "Maggs's successor" and "the next leader of the new party". With these two auras in his body, everyone will look up to him. But the sudden change caused Harry's brilliant political life to be cut in half, and while some people felt pity, many others were gloating.

There is nothing happier than watching a political star suddenly collapse, even within the New Party, there are many people watching Harry's jokes, thinking of themselves as the next Prime Minister and the leader of the New Party all day long, and talking all day long in a very high realm.

"I need a little help......," Harry whispered to Durin, "the committee has lowered my rating, and there are no new arrangements for me, and it may be necessary to refrigerate me for a while." I don't want to waste my best time cultivating my emotions, I have to find something to do. ”

Durin looked at him without speaking, Harry looked away at his knees, "In return, I will do my best to help you get the most advantage in the race, after all, I have been a governor and know more about this than you do, you should trust me." ”

"So what do you need me to order for you?"

Harry was silent for a moment, seemingly a little embarrassed, but he had to say it if it made him feel like a stain or a disgrace to his life compared to the current question.

The good situation was ruined because of some small things, and the family's support for him has been reduced to a minimum, during this time he approached Mags, who did not promise him anything, but let him rest for a few years and let him enrich himself. He knew very well that he had been abandoned by Maggs, and that if he could not find a new backer to bring him out, his political life would most likely be over, so this was his last chance.

Taking a deep breath and puffing up his chest, he said what he wanted, "In return, I would like to be able to give me a position in the state government, assistant to the governor, or secretary." ”

Du Lin's brows furrowed slightly, "Are you going to run for the next midterm election?"

"Uh...... Yes. Harry was a little surprised by Durin's sensitivity, participating in the midterm elections as an assistant to the governor or secretary and then becoming mayor is the best way for many assistants and secretaries to step onto the political stage, they have a higher level of political experience, and they are also very familiar with various cities in the state, and they have very good innate conditions, as long as Dulin does not openly oppose him, even if he does not support it, he has a way to start his political career again.

Behind every nobleman there are many friends who are interested in all kinds of investments, including political ones.

Durin took out a cigarette and lit it, crossed his arm and thought for a moment, "I can't promise you right now, you know that there are some things that we don't do what we want, and this matter needs the nod of His Excellency the Prime Minister." ”

Harry was a little disappointed, he had the impression that Durin had always been the kind of person who had the courage to break the rules, he rarely surrendered to the rules set by others, but he was happy to follow the rules set by himself, but at this moment he actually became honest, which made Harry feel as if he was being targeted.

He forced a smile, "Okay, call me as soon as possible." ”

Durin nodded, "I'll contact you as soon as I have the exact news, and don't forget the money." ”

Speaking of money, Harry's face became a little more ugly, and after he was dismissed, the campaign funds were temporarily frozen, and if he was sure that he wanted to continue to run for the prime minister of the empire, the money could still be used. But the problem is that if he can't succeed in the election, loses the money, and doesn't even have the governorship, the capitalists who usually lift him up to the sky can swallow him alive with a turn of face.

So this money can't be moved for the time being, so let's freeze it temporarily.

The problem is that Harry still owes a large amount of money to Doolin, and if he can't get back on his feet, the family can't use it to pay off his personal debts. The bigger the family, the more rules and stricter they are, and Du Lin's last sentence really pinched his death hole. When he first asked Dührin to borrow the money, the New Party Committee had not yet revealed its intention to dispose of him, and he felt that as long as he got through this difficult stage, it was too easy to make up the money, even if he could not be the prime minister or his governor, a local policy would be enough for him to get more money from the capitalists.

He gave Durin a deep look, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, "I won't forget." After speaking, he got up and bent over and left Durin's side, now this time he is not suitable for excessive exposure in public, this time he got the invitation letter from the elders from a small nobleman who has interests in the family.

Watching Harry leave, Durin turned his attention to the auction again, and only then did he begin to look closely at the auction item and flip through the picture album, which was a collection from the church, said to be the belongings of the former Archpope Rossi, a statue of God the Father, with all kinds of magical powers...... Of course, none of this can be verified, because none of the functions have been confirmed to exist so far, and most of them are recorded in the remaining codexes of the church, such as luminescence or something.

It stands to reason that such a valuable thing should not be put up for auction, and in fact, the people here, with the exception of the church, do not really know about it. The statue, which was only the size of a small arm, had long been an unspeakable taboo, and people in the early church had discovered a secret by compiling through the documents of the past, and the statue looked very similar to the description of Pope Rossi himself!

Some records record that Pope Rossi is an apostle of God, the embodiment of God walking on earth, but the problem is that no one has a clear description of God's appearance, so why is the Church of Rossi so similar to the God they believe in? Some high-ranking clergy believe that there may be a hidden history and an astonishing insider.

Later, after the Tenshod Sect overwhelmed the other sects in the church, the Lord of Tensho was the real God, the "successor" recognized by the Father, and comprehensively replaced the Lord of Light with the appearance of Pope Rossi as the main one, which gave rise to today's Church of the Lord of Tenzheng.

This statue is one of the few things that remains, and it will inevitably cause some people to have some bad thoughts in the church, and there will always be some people who will hold on to the "tradition" and not let go, so it is better to simply take it out and auction it off, without these dependents, the handful of people who are stumbling will not be able to jump.

As for why it wasn't destroyed...... No one dares to destroy anything that has anything to do with Pope Rossi!

That is a suspicion, a wound and even a betrayal of faith, of faith, of history!
