Chapter 441

The next day, in the City of Sin.

Dorothy and Di Di Nisha were still wandering around the city under Alice's leadership, but today they didn't go to the prosperous central city area, but were wandering around the relatively remote peripheral city area.

"The most suitable environment for faith to grow is suffering. The more bitter the place, the easier it is to give birth to faith, because besides faith, they can't find any other way to let their hearts, which are suffering, obtain a moment of peace."

On the road, Di Di Nisha said this.

When this Miss Shepherdess said this, her face was slightly complicated. After all, faith was once the pillar she insisted on.

In her childhood, her mother often pulled her to pray to God together.

If they were hungry and had no food, they would pray while starving. Her mother would tell her about the scene of Heaven where honey flowed everywhere in the mouth of the Radiant Church.

If it rained and the house leaked, and there was thunder outside, the mother and daughter could only huddle in the corner of the house to keep warm while continuing to pray. Her mother would tell her that thunder was the anger of the gods, which would only bring divine punishment to evil people and wouldn't hurt good people like them.

Because it was her mother's words, the young Di Di Nisha believed it. She slowly got used to being hungry often, and also got used to the scary thunder, because in her heart, she always felt that as long as she followed the teachings of the gods, she would eventually be able to ascend to Heaven one day.

Later, although she didn't wait for the opportunity to ascend to Heaven, she obtained the salvation of the Father. The days of the mother and daughter were indeed much better.

It was also because of the Father that their faith became increasingly pious.

Especially her mother, this poor woman was still chanting the scriptures of God before she died. She could be considered a standard fanatic.

It was just that because Di Di Nisha followed the Father to learn characters and knowledge, after breaking away from the ignorant vision that a normal village girl should have, Miss Shepherdess actually had been vaguely questioning the faith of the past in her heart.

Is pious faith really useful?

Why was it that before the Father arrived, she and her mother believed in God so much, but their days were getting harder and harder?

The scriptures clearly said that God would bestow them food, health, and everything they needed, so why were they still often hungry, and why was her mother often sick?

She once tried to seek answers from her mother, but her mother was very angry at her questioning, scolding her for how she could question the majesty of the Radiant Lord, saying that God had been watching them, and it was precisely because their piety moved God that the great Radiant Lord sent the Father to save them.

In short, her mother attributed everything to God's grace.

But because she followed the Father to learn, and also had a close relationship with Dorothy, she actually understood this father and daughter much better than her mother.

Although the two had always worn the clothes of a Father and a nun, the two almost never prayed to God, especially Dorothy, that child. Saying she was a blasphemer was not an exaggeration. When she was young, she even dared to climb onto the head of the church statue to play.

In Di Di Nisha's heart, she felt that clearly it was the Father himself who saved her and her mother, so why should this credit be attributed to the Radiant Lord?

She found it very hard to understand her mother's train of thought.

Of course, this time she learned to be good and didn't question her mother's words, but instead obediently admitted her mistake, looking like "Mother, everything you say is right."

But in her heart, the young Di Di Nisha started to think about what faith was.

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

It was just that as she grew up a little bit, plus Dorothy, this sister, always slacking off and always throwing the nun's work to her, this sister, to help, this gave Di Di Nisha the opportunity to frequently contact the believers who came to pray in the village.

And in this process, she slowly discovered that guiding faith was so simple, simply no different from her herding sheep on weekdays.

Even simpler than herding sheep, because those increasingly pious believers had stronger self-management ability. For example, her mother, you don't even need to find reasons to lie to her; she will take the initiative to find reasons to deceive herself.

In this way, Di Di Nisha had a certain understanding of what faith was. So-called faith is just a kind of self-deception in despair and powerlessness.

People who live worse in reality often have more pious faith, because besides faith, they really have nothing.

For these people, you only need to show them power, and they will fear you. You only need to give them a little illusory promise, and they will believe in you.

The faith propaganda of the Radiant Church is actually quite simple. It's nothing more than boasting about the beauty of Heaven and giving you a promise that as long as your faith is pious enough, you will have the opportunity to ascend to Heaven later. Those people who have been tortured by the hardships of life will firmly believe in your promise as if they have grabbed the last straw.

As for the facts....

Well, in the eyes of the sheep, she, this shepherdess, is probably a god-like existence, always leading them to find the most delicious tender grass and protecting them from the wolves. She is omnipotent.

But how would the sheep know their final destination?

Of course, because of the Father's existence, even if Di Di Nisha vaguely understood this, she still maintained her pious faith in the Radiant Lord. After all, she had never left the village and had never seen other church personnel. In her heart, she actually naively felt that maybe the entire Radiant Church personnel were as beautiful as the Father and Dorothy.

It was just a pity that the appearance of the witch hunters later completely shattered all her fantasies.

Fortunately, she now carefully recalled and found that rather than saying she believed in the Radiant Lord, it was better to say she believed in the Father and his daughter. The Radiant Lord betrayed her, but at least these two family members didn't betray her trust this time.

Although, now that she had figured out Dorothy's witch identity, Di Di Nisha felt that even if the Father was still too risky, he should have just abandoned her; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into such a fleeing situation now.

To take risks for someone like her who had nothing—this wasn't very cost-effective.

Even if the two had watched her be burned to death, she would only have been angry for a while. After calming down, the sadness and sorrow would probably be more than the anger.

After all, she had no right to ask others to abandon everything to save her. The Father and Dorothy didn't owe her anything, but she owed the father and daughter too much.

In short, let's find a way to repay them a little.

Since Dorothy asked her to help found a sect, then go do it. Di Di Nisha felt that she still had some talent in this aspect. After all, no one in the village was better at herding sheep than her before.

It was just that Father didn't seem to want Dorothy to take such risks, so at this time, Miss Shepherdess didn't know whether she was helping Dorothy or harming her.

She actually wanted to persuade this sister at first, but who told her to always call her "good sister"? Who could stand that?

And on the other side, Dorothy was following obediently behind Di Di Nisha, carefully observing the back of this good sister.

Because for over a month, she had been the one cooking at home, plus the support of the wealthy woman Lilith, the vampire queen, the family's food level was naturally not bad. Therefore, Di Di Nisha finally didn't look as malnourished as before. Under sufficient nutritional nourishment, her originally withered and thin figure finally had some graceful curves.

Although there was still some distance from the big car car that Dorothy loved most, the future was promising, the future was promising.

It was just that the Home Witch naturally wouldn't have lecherous thoughts at such a time. She was observing whether Di Di Nisha had any abnormalities.

After all, she had been so scared that she almost suffered from insomnia last night. Although she knew that their every move in this Witch's Night would definitely be observed by Lord Shen Wang, the abnormality on Di Di Nisha last night was definitely Lord Shen Wang almost descending. That terrifying power was something she had felt from that Demon King contract book when she signed the apprenticeship contract with Teacher Spider before.

Even last night, Lord Shen Wang's aura was more terrifying and vast than the Demon King's in her perception, which was very scary.

It was just that, although thinking like this might be courting death, the Home Witch still wanted to say that Lord Shen Wang's butt was really nice. She could brag about that kick last night for a lifetime.

Cough cough, forget it, better not court death. This really isn't something to brag about.

Fortunately, after observing all the way, Dorothy discovered that Di Di Nisha herself didn't seem to remember what happened last night. At this time, she was still a normal shepherdess.

"Good sister, what you said is indeed very right, but we aren't here to fool people. Our goal is to save the world. We need comrades, not believers. However, for now, starting from the sufferers is indeed easier."

The Home Witch, who was relieved, nodded, which could be considered affirming Di Di Nisha's words.

"Not fooling people?"

Di Di Nisha murmured and repeated Dorothy's words. Honestly, she didn't believe this very much. Just like she still felt Dorothy's core doctrine that man can conquer nature was very unrealistic until now.

How can man conquer heaven? Everything in the world is operating under the shroud of fate. As a link of fate, humans cannot resist fate, and even your resistance might be fate's arrangement.

But who told her this was Dorothy's words? Just like she wouldn't refute her mother back then, Di Di Nisha wouldn't refute this good sister now.

Yeah yeah, everything you say is right. I'll just listen to it as if it's true.

Anyway, as long as it's all realized in the end, then it can't be considered fooling people.

Di Di Nisha understood Dorothy's meaning like this.

Just like this, the sisters had their own thoughts, and only Alice, who hadn't thought about anything, walked in the front, leading the way for the two sisters beside her.

The little witch was the most carefree; she really didn't worry about anything.

The City of Sin, as a gathering place for evil people, naturally wouldn't be a kind and harmonious place. It wouldn't be that everyone would smile and get along harmoniously just because they weren't good people. Evil people have their own evil people to grind them; this is the truest portrayal here.

The class and oppression here were far more rampant and obvious than in other cities. Don't look at the prosperity of the central city area when they went to the auction house before.

But in this City of Sin, large areas of slums were the norm.

After all, evil people also reproduce. Maybe your ancestors were big evil people, but the children of big evil people might not be that evil. And in this City of Sin, if you aren't ruthless, you can't stand firm. Therefore, the descendants of these evil people were squeezed to the periphery by new evil people. People who aren't ruthless enough like them actually aren't suitable for living in this city.

It was just that, similarly, the label of descendant of evil people also left them with no way to live in the outside world, and they could only struggle near this City of Sin.

Yeah, it was really struggling. Many small and medium evil people who weren't evil enough to be big evil people and didn't have the ability to live in the central city area relied on oppressing this group of people to eat.

Gangs are rampant in these civilian areas, evil sects are breeding, and most of the misfortune and ugliness in the world can be seen here.

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

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

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

Di Di Nisha said terrifying things with a very calm expression.

Indeed, with Dorothy and her current power, dealing with the Radiant Church definitely wasn't enough, and even dealing with those big evil people in the central city area wasn't very good, but opening a "no-double" in this peripheral city area was effortless.

As long as they could sweep and rectify these chaotic places, then harvesting the faith of these suffering people wouldn't be very difficult.

As long as you offer a little bit of illusory faith, you can live a stable life. Most people in the slums wouldn't refuse such a good thing.

"No, Di Di Nisha, neither you nor I can make a move. We have to let them save themselves. Otherwise, how can this be called man conquering nature?"

"There are too few gods and saviors in this world. Most people can only rely on themselves."

Dorothy shook her head and said this.

"Are you serious? You're counting on such a group of rabble who can't even eat their fill to overthrow those transcendents?"

Di Di Nisha still couldn't help it. She stared at this sister, feeling that she was a bit whimsical.

If such a group of rabble had that ability, why would they be oppressed to this point?

They only have some use under the leadership of a strong person and obedience to the strong person's will; otherwise, they are useless.

"I am naturally serious. Although the candle flame is small, it can also trigger a huge fire. This group of people is indeed a group of rabble now, but as long as someone can light the fire in their hearts, then not to mention omnipotent, but being usable is enough."

"And my faith happens to be that fire they lack."

The Home Witch leaned on a bird-shaped walking stick. She looked up at the dirty and messy slums in front of her, and there was a raging fire burning in her pitch-black eyes.

That fire was so hot that it even made Di Di Nisha lose her composure for a moment.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Miss Shepherdess nodded and didn't say anything more.

She naturally wouldn't be persuaded so easily. Just as she said, she would keep watching what kind of tricks this sister could come up with.

.... Shen Wang in expectation...
