Beside his podium! With his amplification magic device! Steal the votes of the common people who originally came for him!
"Forget it, I can't stoop to the level of Duke Moss's faction... I'll just consider it a dog bite." Dane closed his eyes, ultimately deciding to maintain his composure.
"No matter how clever Tang Ke is, he can't turn black into white!"
"Simply tripping up your opponent won't create a significant gap in skill. Fortunately, a long time ago, the Mino Warrior taught me a lot—the wisdom and methods to turn black into white!"
On the other side, Tang Ke continued to speak confidently to Jenny:
"Even my infamous father will become the most virtuous noble star in the capital in this election!"
"There...there's still this kind of power?" Jenny's eyes widened in surprise. "This...this is almost like lost magic!"
"The Mino Warrior's vision and wisdom are more magical than any magic!"
Clenching his fists, Tang Ke, who called himself "Mino's top disciple," had an inscrutable expression on his face:
He calls that: the power of marketing!
in the crowd.
Dane simply stepped down from the podium, adopted a friendly and approachable demeanor, and began to address the surrounding civilians at the top of his lungs:
"Fellow commoners, Grand Duke Thanaus is an extremely kind and just noble among many. It is thanks to the Blood Cross that the orphanages in the capital have sufficient funds to be established in various parts of the western district, spreading the goddess's light to every child..."
His hypocritical and empty words won the praise of the crowd, and his affable but affected demeanor won cheers. A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Dane's lips, but his expression grew increasingly noble.
"Without a doubt, the title of the greatest nobleman of the year should also belong to the Tower..."
A voice, choked with emotion, suddenly burst forth from the crowd:
"Duke Moss! He is practically the embodiment of light and justice!!!"
A commoner with a ruddy complexion emerged from the crowd, exclaiming with exaggerated gestures, "I saw it with my own eyes just yesterday! He helped an old lady cross the street!!!"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Dane was completely stunned, not yet realizing what was happening... Then several well-dressed and robust middle-aged men suddenly appeared from some unknown corner:
"That's right, that's right, I saw it yesterday too. Duke Moss actually...didn't run up the bill! He paid it all on the spot!!!"
wow——
The crowd stirred again.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Dane finally realized something was wrong:
"We were just talking about Grand Duke Thanaus's achievements, weren't we? Isn't your jump around a bit strange?!"
"This is nothing!!!" Another exaggerated voice rang out from among the commoners:
"I saw Duke Moss get up early yesterday!!!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it too! He even picked up the overturned trash can by himself! Pfft!"
Excited voices rose and fell:
"—Duke Moss, he's really starting to behave like a human being!!!"
Dane listened in stunned silence, staring at these guys whose spirits were slightly different from ordinary civilians and whose expressions were extremely exaggerated... and that one over there just now! Were you laughing?!
"You mean: yesterday Duke Moss helped seven or eight old ladies cross the street, straightened thirty-seven trash cans, and also paid for seven or eight breakfasts all by himself???!!!"
With his eyes wide open, Dane looked on incredulously.
"Yes, yes!"
Faced with contradictory accusations, these people nodded vigorously without batting an eye.
What a fuss!
Dane gradually came to his senses. Weren't these people just talking nonsense?!
What's most infuriating is... that some people actually started to believe it!
“Duke Moss… has he really changed his ways…” A hesitant voice gradually rose from the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other.
"In that case, it doesn't seem quite right not to vote for Duke Moss..."
"Hey! Wait a minute!!!" Dane was shocked:
"Even if it were true, what just happened has nothing to do with greatness! Isn't that just basic human decency?!"
"What... what's going on... Tonks?" Jenny stood on the podium, stunned by the commotion in the distance.
The speaker, dressed in thick clothes and tall and strong, seemed somewhat like a servant of the Duke of Moss's household... There were also some commoners who couldn't help but laugh, and she seemed to see heavy money bags on their waists.
"That's just marketing tactic." Tang Ke smiled, unsurprised as he watched the crowd gradually gathering in the distance.
"The Mino Warrior calls these people: the Navy."
Dane sensed that the situation was getting out of control. These ignorant civilians seemed to be being manipulated by some mysterious force. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem and stepped in front of them: "Wait a minute! Don't you think something's wrong?"
"These statements are completely devoid of authenticity, aren't they? Where's the logic? Where's the evidence?"
"What should we do? Dane seems to have found out!" Jenny became anxious.
“It’s no use.” Tang Ke shook his head with a sigh: “Once the momentum is established, no one will really think about the truth anymore…”
"Is he jealous because his own Grand Duke is not as good as Duke Moss?"
Among the commoners, some people looked Dane up and down a few times, then clicked their tongues in amazement and made sarcastic remarks:
"Some noble children are like this—"
"What the hell am I jealous of?!" Dane was getting a little frantic. "I mean, Duke Moss would never do such a thing, are you guys out of your minds?!"
Hey! Look, he's in a hurry again!
"Grass!"
"You, when you can't win an argument, you resort to insults?!"
Jenny stared in disbelief at the gradually boiling crowd. Now it was no longer the online trolls making their voices, but ordinary people speaking in unison, their voices clear and lucid!
Even more outrageous, as the noise intensified, the crowd gathered there not only didn't decrease, but actually increased dramatically!
Chapter 185 The Hero of Light Who Suppresses the Kingdom
There's something dirty inside!
Dane's heart was roaring.
His composure gradually crumbled, and he found it increasingly difficult to maintain his composure, his mood becoming incredibly bad.
He came here to enjoy the admiring gazes of these commoners and nobles, not to engage in verbal battles with these lowly and ignorant people.
"Guards! Where are the guards?!"
With a gloomy look in his eyes, Dane chose the most radical method and prepared to arrest all those who were talking nonsense!
"What should we do, Tom? Things seem to be getting out of control?" Jenny's heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat worried.
"It's alright." Tang Ke remained calm and suddenly made a subtle hand gesture towards the crowd:
"At this point, it's time for the second method mentioned by the Mino Warrior to come into play..."
"Ouch."
As Dane approached, an old man suddenly groaned and collapsed limply to the ground.
Dane was taken aback for a moment, then his heart leaped with joy. He thought this was the perfect opportunity to show off his aristocratic demeanor, so he quickly walked over with a concerned expression and gently helped the old man up: "Old man, are you alright?"
*Thud!* The old man, who had been barely breathing, suddenly sat up straight, grabbed Dane's arm tightly, and his eyes gleamed: "You bumped into me?!"
"Huh?" Dane was stunned. "I didn't!"
The old man's tone grew increasingly certain: "If you didn't hit me, why did you help me up! It was you!"
???
Dane's mind was a complete mess.
At that moment, a civilian passing by suddenly turned around and bumped into his back. The civilian flew into a rage: "Fine, you didn't keep a safe distance from me, you bumped into me!!!"
"Guards! Where are the guards?! What kind of speech is this?! It's harmful to people!!!"
What the hell?!
Dane, feeling the indignant gazes of the crowd, froze completely.
"Mino the Hero calls this: Blackie!"
On the podium, watching this scene, Tang Ke felt a surge of satisfaction: "After experiencing so many setbacks, Dane has grown and understands the wickedness of people... I've done a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!"
Jenny silently grumbled to herself.
If Dane knew the truth, he'd be kind enough not to put you in a sack and beat you up...
……
"Your Holiness, the noble selection in the commoners' district today seems particularly exciting. Would you like to go out and take a look?"
"Your Holiness, it seems that there are fewer silver crosses in the church lately, for some reason?"
"Your Holiness, for some reason, there seem to be some strange rumors circulating in the nearby alleys..."
Holy Church.
Hope pushed the wheelchair and chatted with the elderly man sitting in it.
The old man's face was numb, his complexion was ruddy, but his spirit was filled with a deep sense of despondency, and he did not respond to Hope's words at all... Hope sighed, silently turned and left, leaving Pope Brad to be alone.
"Archbishop Hope, what's wrong with Pope Brad?"
The priest who came to visit looked worried and somewhat saddened as he gazed at Brad in his wheelchair from afar.
"Who on earth did this to Pope Brad?"
"I'd like to know too." Hope sighed.
"His Holiness the Pope now really looks like a hundred-year-old man, so weak it's heartbreaking..."
