House Witch

  The next day, in Sin City.

  Dorothy and Denisa were still wandering around the city under the leadership of Alice, but today everyone did not go to the bustling central city, but wandered around the relatively remote outer city.

"The most suitable growth environment for faith is suffering. The more miserable the place, the easier it is for faith to be born, because apart from faith, they can't find any other way to get a moment of peace for their tormented hearts. .”

   On the way, Denisa said so.

  The shepherdess had a slightly complicated face when she said this. After all, faith was once the pillar of her own persistence.

  When she was young, her mother often took her to pray to God together.

  If you are hungry and have no food to eat, then pray while starving, and your mother will tell her about the scene of heaven where honey is everywhere in the mouth of the Radiance Sect.

When it rained, the house leaked, and there was still thunder outside. The mother and daughter could only curl up in the corner of the house and keep praying while keeping warm. The mother would tell her that thunder is the anger of the gods, and it will only rain down on the wicked. Punishment will not hurt good people like them.

Because it was her mother's words, the young Denisa believed it, and she gradually got used to frequent starvation and scary thunder, because she always felt that as long as she obeyed the teachings of the gods, Then one day you will be able to go to heaven.

  Although they didn't have the chance to ascend to heaven, they were redeemed by the priest. The life of the mother and daughter was indeed much easier.

   It is also because of the priest that their beliefs are becoming more and more pious.

  Especially my mother, this poor woman was still reciting the scriptures of God before she died, she was considered a standard fanatic.

  It’s just that Denisa, after following the priest to learn words and knowledge, after breaking away from the ignorant vision that a normal village girl should have, Miss Shepherdess has been vaguely questioning her previous beliefs in her heart.

  Is devout faith really useful?

  Why did she and her mother believe in gods so much before the arrival of the priest, but the days became more and more difficult?

   It is clear in the scriptures that the gods will bestow food, health, and everything they need, so why do they still often go hungry and their mothers often get sick?

She once tried to seek answers from her mother, but her mother was very angry with her questioning, and scolded her for questioning the majesty of the Lord of Radiance, saying that the gods have been watching them, and it is because their piety moved the gods that they are so great The lord of glory sent the priest to redeem them.

  In short, mother, I attribute everything to the grace of God.

  But because she studied with the priest and grew up with Dorothy and has a close relationship, she actually knows the father and daughter far better than the mother.

Although the father and daughter have been wearing the costumes of priests and nuns, they have almost never prayed to the gods, especially the child Dorothy, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a blasphemer. play on the head of the idol.

  In Denisa's heart, she felt that it was the priest himself who saved her and her mother, so why should this credit be attributed to the lord of glory?

  It is difficult for her to understand the brain circuit of her mother.

  Of course, this time she learned how to behave. Instead of questioning her mother's words, she obediently admitted her mistakes, as if everything you said, mother, was right.

  But in her heart, Denisa, who was still young at that time, began to think about what faith is.

  Of course, relying on her half-baked knowledge level at that time, she naturally couldn't get the answer.

It's just that as she grew up a little bit, plus Dorothy, a younger sister who fished every day and always left the nun's job to her older sister to help, this allowed Denisa to have regular contact with those ex-girlfriends in the village. An opportunity for believers who come to pray.

   During this process, she gradually discovered that guiding her beliefs is so simple, it is almost no different from her usual herding of sheep.

It's even easier than herding sheep, because those who are more devout believers have stronger self-management skills, such as my mother, you don't even need to find a reason to lie to her, she will take the initiative to help you find a reason Come and fool yourself.

  In this way, Denisa has a certain understanding of what faith is. The so-called faith is nothing but self-deception in despair and powerlessness.

  The worse people live in reality, the more pious their beliefs are, because they really have nothing but beliefs.

  For these people, you only need to show them your strength, and they will respect you. You only need to give them some illusory promises, and they will believe in you.

The belief propaganda of the Radiance Church is actually quite simple. It is nothing more than bragging about the beauty of heaven, and then giving you a promise that as long as you have enough faith, you may be able to go to heaven in the future. Those people who have been tortured by the suffering of life Will firmly believe in your promise as if grasping the last straw.

   As for the facts

Well, in the eyes of the sheep, she, the shepherdess, is probably a god-like existence. She will always lead them to find the most delicious tender grass, and she can also protect them from the hands of wolves. She is so omnipotent .

  But how will the flock know their final destination?

Of course, because of the existence of the priest, even if Denisa vaguely understands this, she still maintains her devout belief in the Lord of Radiance. After all, she has never left the village, and has never seen other church personnel. In fact, she naively thought that maybe the entire Radiance Sect staff was as beautiful as father and daughter, Father Priest and Dorothy.

  It's a pity that the appearance of the witch hunter later completely shattered all her fantasies.

   Fortunately, she recalled carefully now, and found that she believed in the Lord of Radiance rather than the Lord Priest and his father and daughter. The Lord of Radiance betrayed her, but at least these two family members did not betray her trust this time.

  Although, after figuring out Dorothy's identity as a witch, Denisa feels that even the priest is a bit too risky after all, and he should just give up on himself, otherwise he wouldn't be in the current fleeing situation.

   It's not worth it to take risks for a owner like her.

  Even if the two watched her being burned to death at that time, she would only be angry for a while in the end, and when she calmed down afterwards, she would probably be more sad than angry.

   After all, she has no right to ask others to give up everything in order to save her. The priest and Dorothy don't owe her anything, but she owes her father and daughter too much.

  In short, first find a way to repay a little.

  Since Dorothy begged herself to help her start a sect, let’s do it. Denisa felt that she still had some talent in this area. After all, no one in the village was better at shepherding sheep than her before.

   It's just that the priest doesn't seem to want Dorothy to take such a risk, so the shepherdess doesn't know whether she is helping Dorothy or hurting Dorothy.

  In fact, she was thinking about persuading this younger sister at the beginning, but who made her keep calling her good sister? Who can stand it.

   On the other side, Dorothy was obediently following Denisa at this time, carefully observing the back of this good sister.

Because she has been in charge of the family for more than a month, and Lilith, the rich woman of the vampire queen, has taken care of her, so the food level of the family is naturally good. Therefore, Denisa is not as malnourished as before. With enough nourishment, her skinny figure, which was originally flat in front and back, finally had some graceful curves.

  Although there is still some distance from Dorothy's favorite cart, the future can be expected, and the future can be expected.

   It's just that the house witch naturally won't feel guilty at this time. She is observing whether there is anything unusual about Denisa.

After all, she was so scared that she almost lost sleep last night. Well, although I know that their every move will be observed by the God King in this night of the witch, the abnormal cliff on Denisa last night is that the God King almost fell asleep. Come on, that terrifying power, she also felt a similar aura from the devil king's contract when she signed the apprenticeship contract with Mr. Spider.

  Even last night, in her perception, the aura of the Lord God King was more terrifying and vast than that of the Lord Demon King, so it was very scary.

   It's just that, even though it might be a little bit crazy to think so, the nerd witch still wants to say that God King's **** is really good, and she can blow that jio last night for the rest of her life.

  Ahem, forget it, let’s not play to death, this is really not fun.

   Fortunately, after observing all the way, Dorothy found that Denisa herself didn't seem to remember what happened last night, and she was still a normal shepherdess at this time.

"Good sister, what you said is indeed right, but we are not here to deceive people. Our purpose is to save the world. What we need are comrades, not believers. However, for now, it is true to start from the suffering people It's easier."

  The otaku witch nodded in relief, affirming Denisa's words.

   "Isn't it a lie?"

  Dinisha murmured and repeated Dorothy's words. To be honest, she didn't really believe in it, just like she still felt that Dorothy's core teaching that man conquered nature was very unrealistic.

  How can a person win the day? Everything in the world operates under the shadow of fate. As a part of fate, it is impossible for human beings to resist fate. Even your resistance may be an arrangement of fate.

   But who told Dorothy to say that, just like she would not refute her mother back then, Denisa would not refute this good sister now.

  Yeah, what you said is right, I just listen to it seriously and it’s over.

  Anyway, as long as everything is realized in the end, it really cannot be regarded as a lie.

  Dinisha understood Dorothy's meaning in this way.

   Just like that, the two sisters had their own thoughts, and only Alice, who didn't think about anything, jumped up and down at the front, leading the way for the two sisters beside her.

  The little witch is the most carefree, she really doesn't worry about anything.

As a gathering place for the wicked, the City of Sin is naturally not a place of kindness and harmony. It is not because everyone is not a good person that they will laugh and live in harmony with each other. Evil people have their own troubles. This is the most real thing here. portrayal.

  The class and oppression here are far more rampant and obvious than in other cities. Don't look at the auction house before, the city center is extremely prosperous.

  But on the outskirts of this sin city, large areas of slums are the norm.

After all, villains can reproduce. Maybe your ancestors were big villains, but the children of big villains may not be so vicious. In this city of sin, people cannot stand firm if they are not ruthless. Therefore, the descendants of these villains They were squeezed out to the periphery by the new villains. People like them who are not cruel enough are actually not suitable to live in this city.

   It's just that, similarly, the label of descendants of the wicked also makes them have no way out in the outside world, and they can only struggle near this sinful city.

   Well, it’s really a struggle. Many small and medium-sized villains who are not evil enough to be considered great villains, and who are unable to live in the central city, count on oppressing these people to eat.

   Gangs run rampant in these civilian areas, cults breed, and most of the misfortunes and ugliness in the world can be seen here.

  However, if you look at this place from the perspective of a new religious entrepreneur, this place is simply the most suitable hotbed.

  After all, the suffering masses here are in desperate need of salvation.

"So, Dorothy, what kind of religion do you want to build? If it's just like the Radiance Sect, it's actually quite simple. As long as we work hard, it's not difficult to clean these places in a day or two. "

  Dinisha said very calmly and uttered terrifying words.

   Indeed, with Dorothy and her current strength, it is definitely not enough to deal with the Church of Radiance, not even the gang of big villains in the central city, but there is no pressure to open Wushuang in this marginal city.

  As long as they can clean up and straighten out these chaotic places, then it is not too difficult to harvest the beliefs of these tortured people.

  As long as you donate a little illusory belief, you can live a stable life. Most people in the slums will not refuse such a good thing.

   "No, Denisa, you and I can't make a move, we have to let them save themselves, otherwise how can this be considered as the victory of man?"

  "There are too few gods and saviors in this world, and the only thing most people can rely on is themselves."

  Dorothy shook her head and said so.

   "Are you serious? You expect such a group of mortals who can't afford enough food and clothing to overthrow those extraordinary people?"

  Dinisha couldn't help it anymore. She stared at the younger sister with wide eyes, thinking that she was a little whimsical.

  If such a gang of mobs had the ability, why would they be bullied to such an extent?

   Only when they are led by a strong man and obey the will of the strong man, can they be somewhat useful, otherwise they are useless.

"Of course I'm serious. Although a candle is small, it can also start a huge fire. This group of people is indeed a mob now, but as long as someone can ignite the flame in their hearts, then don't say that they are omnipotent." Yes, but it's enough to be useful."

   "And my belief is exactly that they lack that fire."

  The otaku witch was leaning on a bird walking stick. She looked up at the messy slum in front of her. There was a raging flame burning in her dark eyes.

  The flame was so scorching hot that it even made Denisa lose her mind for a while.

   "Then I will wait and see."

  The shepherdess nodded and said nothing more.

   Naturally, it is impossible for her to be persuaded so easily. As she said, she will keep watching what kind of tricks this younger sister can come up with.

  God King is looking forward to it.
