Chapter 532: Ancient God

A day later, the statue arrived at Viren Port in a fair and open manner, and was loaded on a ship in a fair and open manner, and finally unloaded on an uninhabited island ten nautical miles away in a fair and open manner.

The island was not big, only about one or two square kilometers, and there was no vegetation on the island, except for stones.

Volibear personally moved the statue weighing several tons to a huge rock in the center of the island.

Then he dug a deep pit on the rock, buried the statue one-third of the way, and backfilled it with sand and stones to fix it to prevent the statue from being blown down by strong winds and waves.

After doing everything, he released a few small black snakes around, and then he went home.

Now that the nest has been hit and the bait has been hooked, whether the fish can be caught can only be left to time.

Ethan waited for more than ten days, but there was no movement.

But Ethan was not in a hurry at all, because he was sure that the other party would come.

These days, Ethan took a few children to stroll the streets every day, eating here and playing there, and his life was also leisurely.

The reason for such a swagger is, on the one hand, to let those people arrange spies in Maro City to see what he is doing!

On the other hand, it is also to appease people's hearts.

When the Duke's Mansion was attacked before, those unstable elements in Maro City also took the opportunity to riot.

Robbery, murder, arson, made the people of Maro City panic.

And these unstable elements are not all unemployed vagrants, but more honest people in people's eyes. They all have decent jobs, and even public officials.

This may sound incredible, but this is the fact.

However, Ethan is not surprised at all.

The world is like this. There are no absolutely honest people. Whether they will explode depends purely on whether the desires in their hearts can be satisfied.

When the desires in their hearts cannot be satisfied for a long time, hatred will accumulate.

Once chaos occurs, the demons in their hearts will awaken.

And this riot caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, hundreds of stores were looted, and many public facilities were burned.

This is a heavy loss for vested interest groups like Ethan.

Not only did they lose hundreds of hardworking cattle and horses, but the social order was also seriously disturbed. It is unknown how long it will take to recover.

Moreover, due to the large number of participants and insufficient law enforcement, only a few people can be caught, and it is not even clear who did it, so it is quite difficult to hold them accountable.

Ethan feels that it is necessary to solve this problem thoroughly, and he also has ways to solve these problems.

Recently, the parliament unanimously passed a new tax bill, which aims to encourage people to develop the entertainment industry through tax cuts and subsidies.

The entertainment industry here does not refer to traditional industries such as brothels, but emerging industries such as football, basketball, singing, and dancing.

Ethan hopes that by chasing stars or watching competitive sports, people can find their own passion, thereby releasing pressure and paralyzing their nerves.

This trick has been proven to be feasible countless times in the previous life, and it can also drive some unproductive GDP.

In addition to this trick, Ethan also used a big trick-Parliamentary Representation Law.

The so-called Parliamentary Representation Law refers to allowing people in an area to elect a representative from the people around them.

These representatives will be allowed to attend the parliament and can make comments and suggestions on behalf of the people in that area.

Of course, the above is for the people of Maro City.

In fact, these people are a supplement to the administrative power of the parliament, which can be understood as the last mile of express delivery.

Those who can be elected are generally well-known figures in a certain area.

They generally have a certain influence and the ability to solve chaos, which is often said to be a person who can do both black and white.

The parliament will give these people some benefits, such as identity, status, and immunity from illegal activities, and then let them assist the parliament in managing the people in the area.

In this way, without spending a penny, the lack of administrative power is made up.

The voice of the parliament can also be transmitted to everyone's ears, and it can also give ordinary people a place to speak. Of course, it is not really for them to speak, but to give them an outlet to vent.

The introduction of these two new policies is also highly praised by those businessmen, and everyone tacitly cooperates with each other.

When Sophia learned that Ethan launched this new policy, her eyes lit up.

"Ethan, did you really come up with this?"

"You saw it with your own eyes, why are you asking this?" Ethan laughed.

"Because I don't think this is something that humans can come up with. If it's you, it's too scary. You can't be the reincarnation of the evil god!"

"Who are you scolding?" Ethan was a little angry: "I'm thinking about the people! Although the cattle and horses raised in captivity have less freedom, they are at least well-fed and well-clothed compared to the animals in the wild!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Sophia laughed and said, "You are right!"

Ethan was made even more angry by Sophia's sarcasm, but he couldn't refute it and could only sulk alone.

Sophia saw that Ethan seemed really angry, so she quickly changed the subject and talked about another thing.

"Let me tell you something. When Saberi came back from the dwarves this time, he brought back an old acquaintance."

"Who?"

"Gaia!"

"Gaia? I have some impression of this name, but I can't remember who it is!" Ethan fell into deep thought.

"Gaia is the elf tracker who came with the [Knight King] before. Have you forgotten her so quickly?"

After hearing what Sophia said, Ethan immediately remembered the little girl with an apple on her head.

This little girl used to swear and expose people's dirt regardless of the occasion, but her archery skills are not bad.

Thinking of her, Ethan couldn't help laughing.

"It turned out to be her! Is she okay?"

"Although her mental state is not very good, her body is fine!" Sophia nodded: "This time the elf hometown exploded, she happened to be tracking an elf fugitive in another place, and just escaped.

Now that the elf hometown has sunk, she has nowhere to go, and she happened to meet Saberi, so they came to Maro City together. I currently arranged her in Turing Manor.

Of course, I tell you this because I want to tell you a news she brought."

"What news?"

"A top-secret news!" Sophia said mysteriously.

"Tell me about it, let me feel how secret it is."

"Was the explosion in the elves' hometown caused by an ancient god?"

Ethan frowned immediately: "An ancient god?"

"Yes! An ancient god! It turns out that under the [World Tree] in the elves' hometown, an ancient god has been suppressed.

According to her, this ancient god is called Yogg-Saron, a nightmare, and the elves call it "a waking dream."

For hundreds of thousands of years, the elves have been continuously drawing power from it. They have always lived in peace.

This time, the Queen's Celebration is also going to draw power from it and bless all the guests.

But for some reason, it suddenly ran away and caused a big explosion."
