Cosma Empire

After Dooling received several guests alone, the charity auction began.

This time, because Du Lin invited the church as the preparatory co-organizer, they provided a lot of valuable auction items for this auction. The church may be the best-preserved force in the whole world for things like antiques, not one of them. Even now, some historians who want to inquire about more detailed historical materials before the Great Destruction must go to the church headquarters in Sunset City, where there are still many relatively complete manuscripts, and the historical records carried are better than those circulated by the outside world. complete countless times.

Not only these books and manuscripts, but also some antique cultural relics, many of which are exquisite and have church backgrounds. At least the items in this auction will not be looked down upon by some picky people.

There are always some people who think that charity auctions are just cheating money, and some things that may have certain meanings, such as socks worn by a certain historical celebrity or Mr. Horn used by a well-known ancient queen, are put up for auction. , but these things do not have any real value, plus the final charitable donation, it will not make everyone feel that this is a real spontaneous charity, it is more like a trick to rob celebrities under the guise of charity .

But they can't avoid it. The higher the level of society, the more attention and focus on charity. Not all high-level people are enthusiastic people who do good deeds, purely because once comments such as "willing to donate money and enthusiasm for charity" appear in court or in front of a jury, those who do not have advanced degrees and knowledge reserves, live in society The lower jury members will have a vague affection.

Perhaps the help they received came from this "defendant". Even though the assistance he received many years ago did not come from this gentleman's pocket, he also helped many people who needed help just like himself.

This may seem like a naive or even impossible message, but in fact it works. In several famous cases, it was the word "charity" that really shook multiple jury decisions.

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

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

When almost everyone had arrived, the charity auction officially started. This was a unique auction, because there was no quiet auction hall here, it was open air, instead, an inexplicable atmosphere was spreading. The wonderful breath of nature and the pure white gauze more or less aroused the enthusiasm of some people, so that starting from the first hot auction item, every item participating in the auction had to go through several rounds of bidding before it could be won. Down.

"The next auction is a very special product..." The young auctioneer who had worked with Du Lin stood on the presiding stage vigorously and waved a small hammer in his hand, while Du Lin focused on the person beside him body.

Harry, this guy got an invitation from somewhere, ran in, and sat next to him.

At this time, Harry was a little depressed, not as high-spirited as before. In the past many years, he has always been active in the social and political arena as the "successor of Magus" and the "next leader of the new party". With these two auras around him, everyone will look at him high. However, the sudden change cut Harry's brilliant political life in half. While some people felt pity, more people were gloating.

There is nothing happier than watching a new political star suddenly collapse. Even in the new party, there are many people who are watching Harry’s jokes. It was placed very high, and it would be a disaster if it fell down, but it was comfortable.

"I need a little help..." Harry whispered to Dooling in a low voice, "The committee lowered my rating and there is no new arrangement for me,

Might have to refrigerate mine for a while. I don't want to waste my best time cultivating my own character, I have to find something to do. "

Doolin looked at him without speaking, Harry looked away and looked at his knees, "In return, I will try my best to help you gain the greatest advantage in the election. After all, I have been a governor and know more about this than you More, you should trust me."

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

Harry was silent for a moment, as if it was a bit difficult to say, but he had to say what he felt was a stain or shame in his life compared to the current question.

The good situation was ruined by some minor incidents, and the family's support for him has dropped to the lowest level. During this period of time, he approached Maggs, but Maggs didn't give him any promises. He enriches himself. He is very clear that he has been abandoned by Magus, and if he cannot find a new backer to promote him, his political life is very likely to end here, so this is his last chance.

He took a deep breath and puffed his chest before he said his request, "In return, I hope that I can be given a position in the state government, assistant to the governor, or secretary."

Du Lin frowned slightly and then let go, "Are you planning to run for the next mid-term election?"

"Uh... yes." Harry was a little surprised by Dooling's sensitivity. Participating in the mid-term elections as an assistant to the governor or secretary and then becoming the mayor is the best way for many assistants and secretaries to enter the political arena. They have more With high-level Zuozheng experience, he is also very familiar with various cities in the state, and he has very good innate conditions. As long as Du Lin does not openly oppose him, even if he does not support him, he will have a way to restart his political career. .

Behind every great aristocrat there are many friends who are very interested in various investments, including political investments.

Du Lin took out a cigarette and lit it, crossed his arms and thought for a moment, "I can't promise you now, you know that there are some things we can't do as we want, and this matter needs to be approved by the Prime Minister. "

Harry was a little disappointed. In his impression, Dooling had always been the kind of person who had the courage to break the rules. He seldom obeyed the rules made by others, but was willing to abide by the rules made by himself. But at this moment, he unexpectedly became honest. Yes, it made Harry feel like he was being targeted.

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

Du Lin nodded, "I will contact you as soon as I have the exact news, and don't forget the money."

When it came to money, Harry's face turned ugly again. After he was dismissed, his campaign funds were temporarily frozen. If he was sure that he would continue to run for the Prime Minister of the Empire, the money could still be used. But the problem is that if he fails to win the election, loses the money, and loses the governorship at the same time, those capitalists who usually praise him to the sky can swallow him alive as soon as they turn around.

Therefore, the money cannot be moved temporarily, and it should be frozen if it is temporarily frozen.

But the problem is that Harry still owes Dooling a large sum of money. If he can't recover, the family can't use this money to repay his personal debts. The bigger the family, the more rules and stricter they are. Du Lin's last words really hit his nails. When he asked Du Lin to borrow the money, the New Party Committee hadn't revealed his intention to dispose of him. He felt that as long as he got through this difficult stage, it would be too easy to get the money together, even if If you can't be the prime minister, you can still be his governor. A local policy is enough for him to get more money from those capitalists.

He took a deep look at Du Lin, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, "I will never forget." After speaking, he got up and bent over to leave Du Lin's side. He is not suitable at this time. Excessively exposed in public, this time I got the invitation letter because I asked my elders to get it from a small nobleman who has interests in the family.

Watching Harry leave, Du Lin turned his attention to the auction again. At this time, he began to look at the auction item carefully, and flipped through the album. This is a collection from the church. It is said that it was once Luo The belongings of the Pope of the West, a statue of God the Father, has all kinds of magical abilities... Of course, these cannot be verified, because so far no function has been confirmed to exist, and most of them are church remnants It is recorded in the handbook, such as glowing or something.

Logically speaking, such a valuable item shouldn't be put up for auction. In fact, the people here, except those in the church, don't really understand this item. This statue, which is only the size of a forearm, has always been an unspeakable taboo. People in the early church discovered a secret by sorting out past documents. The appearance of this statue is very similar to the description of Pope Rossi himself. resemblance!

Some records record that Pope Rossi is an apostle of God, the incarnation of God walking in the world, but the problem is that no one has a clear description of God’s appearance, so why is the Rossi Church and the god they believe in so different? similar? Some senior clergy believe that there may be an unknown history hidden in it, with amazing inside stories.

Later, after the Orthodox sect overwhelmed the other sects in the church, the Lord who revered the Orthodox was the real God, and he was the "successor" approved by the Father God. Lord, this is where today's Orthodox Church comes into being.

This statue is one of the few remaining things. It will inevitably cause some people to have some bad thoughts in the church. There will always be some people who will hold on to the "tradition". With these reliance, the small group of people who are jumping can't jump.

As for why not destroy... No one dared to destroy anything related to Pope Rossi!

That is a kind of doubt, injury and even betrayal of belief, faith, and history!
