A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

"I won't take advantage of you!" Cloris emphasized.

"No, no, no, of course I won't take your money," said the proprietress, "It's just that the hotel on the next street was burned down by the believers of the Grace House after the price increase. I also have five tenants who believe in the Grace House. Although I Can drive them away, but... well, I don't mean to drive away the believers of the Grace House, just..."

After listening to the proprietress' explanation, Cloris understood.

The influence of the Grace House has really extended to the Laning Street.

The natives of the city that never sleeps regard the refugees as locusts, and some of the refugees who believe in the Grace House also regard these citizens as guilty of original sin.

The proprietress can drive away five tenants of the Charity House of Faith who do not agree with the price increase today, but what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?What if everyone in this street became believers in the Grace House?

But if the price does not increase, the wonder tax is also a sharp knife hanging over the head.

"I'll tell you about this matter after I discuss it with Mr. Moxiu, okay?" Cloris decided to help the proprietress.

Those refugees haven't even read a few pages of the scriptures of the Grace House, so how can their words be reliable?

"Then I'm counting on you," the proprietress nodded heavily, and asked a question that caught Cloris off guard again, "Little Shaqima, after spending so many days together, we have some friendship, so... if I also believe in the Holy Father of Mercy, can you let me worship Mr. Moxiu at the helm?"

PS:

In many plots, the protagonist is driven by events, and then actively or passively participates in it.

I think of some of the "repressed" and "suffocated" comments about the first volume at the beginning. This is indeed part of the truth. Fal Yar Cloris has no power to plan for a rainy day or resist. Before gaining extraordinary power, Her best destination is to become a nun, even being an oiran is not a bad ending. She has ambitions, but reality does not allow her to have ambitions, just like Tai Fei and Kai Ruien, even if she has any ideas, she has no destiny. The gift, in the end, can only "accept fate", saying that it is passively waiting for the golden finger, but without the aura of the protagonist, there is a high probability that people are not as good as dogs;

171. Walsh Kahler's Success Science

Bairuo is a slang word used in some areas, and its meaning is not much different from that of worshiping the mountain.This word is often used whether it is joining a gang association or joining an air bandit gang.

Cloris shook her head after listening to the proprietress' question, "You should not say 'worship the helm', but 'follow the right blood and become the lamb of the shepherd'."

There is nothing to learn from the emptiness, and Cloris has absolutely no intention of helping the Grace House to preach.

She said: "As long as you are devout, Mr. Moxiu will not turn a blind eye."

The proprietress nodded thoughtfully, and watched Cloris go away.

In Liberty Square, the Statue of Liberty Monument, which symbolizes the rule of the Chamber of Commerce in the past, has been mottled with copper and rust. The inscription on the base was originally a decree and agreement made by the business alliance for the city, and it is also blurred in the nearly 20 years of wind and frost.

It is far from noon at this moment, and the street lamp is also a light blue light that symbolizes the morning. As time goes by, it will gradually turn into a dazzling bright white, then orange at dusk, and dim at midnight.

However, in areas where many refugees live, it is dark most of the time, with only a few street lights illuminating the world.

The chairs were full of homeless people, and the guards and nuns of the Grace House were coming and going, arranging the scene and distributing leaflets. The order of the place was more stable than usual. Cloris was sitting on the cracked marble floor in front of the monument with a book in her hand, reading.

There are many people who really want to listen to the scriptures one after another. They sit quietly in the open space with calm and peaceful faces. The presence of these believers brings a strange silence to Liberty Square. Even the homeless don't dare to speak loudly. noisy.

Among the believers present, there are many who can read and write. They may not really believe in the Holy Father of Grace, but they only value the protection and potential benefits of the Grace House.If the people of the world were lambs, they might not be able to become the outstanding ones, be promoted to shepherds, and let those tramps who are ridiculous and shameful and have dirty clothes be their own compliant sheep.

The street lights gradually brightened, and the noon bell rang. Moxiu, accompanied by Ying 21 and another attendant, walked slowly in the eyes of everyone.

Cloris stared, and a goblin in a black-patterned robe with a white background followed Moxiu onto the podium.

Walsh Caller!Theo Pavel Kahler's brother!

Not only was this guy brainwashed by the Charity House, he also worked in collusion with them and put on their priest's uniform!

Mo Xiu smiled gently at Cloris in the audience, and the girl immediately drew a triangle and prayed: "Holy Father, be merciful!"

"Holy Father is merciful," Moxiu nodded, then looked at the audience, and got straight to the point, "Before preaching the scriptures today, I would like to thank the Holy Father for the gift of letting a new pastor come to the world."

A pastor, to put it bluntly, is a clergyman who has served in the Grace House and is qualified to preach.

There are more than ten shepherds of the Grace House in the city that never sleeps, but there are only three real speakers, Moxiu, Qifa and Paya.

Walsh Caller came on stage, looking rather funny.

Goblins are distributed all over the world, but most of them have low status.They are short, weak, and fluffy and look natural and harmless. As a subspecies of humans, this change reduces their heat loss in the harsh winter of the Dark Ages. The degeneration of their stature makes them less likely to be the target of predators. They are flexible. Limbs, keen inspiration, and brilliant minds further enhance their survivability.It is enough to survive, but it does not allow them to have a place in the upper realm after the new century. They can only be integrated into various countries as vassals. They are very good scholars and businessmen.

Among slaves, goblins are often domesticated as beautiful pets or high-ranking servants.At the same time, the goblins who were able to sneak into the deep world had more or less the experience of being sold into slavery.

Let such a slave and goblin be their shepherd, the first reaction in everyone's heart is disdain and contempt.

But at the same time, a row of audience applauded enthusiastically.

"I know," the goblin began to speak at this time, "some people think that I am a slave and I am not qualified to preach. But Yusha said that people do not judge success or failure based on their appearance. If you don’t have the qualifications, then you think the words of Saint Usha are wrong, and if you think the words of Saint Usha are wrong, I will give him a free pass to meet the saint Usha, and give him the opportunity to discuss the scriptures with the saints in person !"

Walsh Caller swept across the crowd, and some people couldn't face the sharp gaze directly, and lowered their heads uncomfortably.

"But," Walsh Kahler changed the subject, his originally serious expression turned into a smile, "A slave like me can become a shepherd, why can't you?"

This sentence is a pun with two meanings.

Cloris faintly had a bad premonition.

Walsh didn't explain the question, but it clearly got the audience interested and thinking about what he had to say next.Compared with Moxiu's lectures, Walsh is very colloquial and down-to-earth: "Most of you are refugees who suffered from natural disasters, and some are aboriginals with family businesses in the local area, but no matter who they are, there must be a better way out for life. It got narrower and narrower, and I realized that our Grace House is not for food and water. Who believes in the Grace House? You?" Walsh looked at a refugee, who quickly looked away, and he turned his gaze again, "It's still you ?”

No one dared to answer this question directly.

"You and I are both sinners, what is there to say? The Holy Father will forgive every sincere redeemer, but if you are not honest under the watchful eyes of the Holy Father, it will be hard not to go to hell!" A listener who clapped his hands before said, "Come on, tell me, why did you come to listen to the scriptures of our Grace House?"

"To live!" the man shouted.

This is obviously a trick.

Cloris covered her forehead.

She already understood Walsh Caller's routine, and the girl could even predict that the goblin's next speech could be summed up in three words - "Successful Learning".

"To live! This is not a shameful thing! The Holy Father should encourage your honesty!" Walsh Calle asked his entourage to bring a box of soft bread and water, and rewarded those who told the truth.

"For living, for food and water," Walsh Culler said with tears in his eyes, and his voice was calm and suppressed, "you said, give you food and water, so that your family can live, such a church is worthy Is it not worth relying on, relying on, is it worth being grateful?"

"It's worth it!" It was still the few Tuo who clapped their hands before shouting, but there were two more emotionally infected refugees in the middle.

"No, you don't understand, because you have always been selfish in your heart and never understood what gratitude is, otherwise it would be you standing here today, not me," Walsh Kahler sneered sneered, "Not me, Walsh Culler, a mediocre goblin who in your opinion is too lowly to be a slave!"

This sentence has convinced many people.Why can he?not me! ?

After the emotions were lifted, Walsh Kahler began his heavy narrative: "I have experienced no less than anyone else in the suffering you have suffered, but if I say why I can be redeemed today and stand out from the lambs, We have to start from the bitter, hungry ice and snow..."

172. Cloris' Theory of Happiness

Walsh Culler’s speech has two main purposes. One is to gain empathy and a sense of identity with his own tragic experience, and the other is to use a humble starting point (point) to inspire the audience’s fighting spirit—a goblin can survive. Why can't they be priests if they are so well-behaved! ?

"...When I was the most desperate, the most embarrassing, and the most directionless, it was the Grace Church that gave me the hope of life. If you want to know why I can succeed, well, I will tell you now," Walsh said. Kale wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and his red eyes exuded radiance, "Because the Grace House taught me virtue, kindness, and gratitude, ask yourself, which ones do you really possess?" He pointed to an audience , "Are you humble? Are you frugal? Are you gentle? Are you hardworking? Have you ever been generous to the needy? Have you ever had a second of restraint in the face of delicious food?" In the end, he gazed with urging force——

"Are you really loyal to the merciful Father?"

The man confessed with tears streaming down his face: "Honorable pastor, I have sinned..."

Some audience members in the audience were already moved, but they were not ready yet. Telling a story by one person is not enough, so Walsh Calle greeted an audience member: "Amor, you come up. Tell me how you live every day now. Yes, have you had any bread?"

The audience came to the stage: "Yes, Mr. Kahler, I can eat all-you-can-eat soft bread every day, and eggs and milk every week... Before I met Mr. Kahler, I could only eat rotten Dried meat, worms in the dirt, mud mixed with flour stuffed into the belly, this is how my wife died, woo woo woo, in order to survive, I, I ate... I am guilty!"

"God will forgive your candor," Walsh Caller reassured, "tell me how you got there?"

"Because of loyalty! If the Holy Father wants to take my life now, I can die immediately!!" Amor said enthusiastically, "The kind Mr. Kahler gives each of us a chance to go up! If I take two Individuals come to listen to the scriptures, let them be baptized by the Lord and become true believers, and I can have a piece of soft bread! If I bring ten people to listen to the scriptures, I can be promoted from a general believer to a fourth-level believer. Receive soft bread and clean water!!"

Cloris finally understood why this goblin became a priest so quickly, this guy must have come up with such a wicked idea!

The original missionary model of the Charity House was to use relief to attract refugees to listen to the scriptures, and then gradually let them listen to the inspiration and enter the mansion to be baptized. However, these refugees are ghosts and spirits, and they have doubts about becoming true believers. Not baptized.

The ancient gods in the deep world also have a wide range of beliefs. The stories of these beliefs are passed down by word of mouth among the people. Most believers sincerely believe in the power of the gods, so they are also cautious about baptism. If you put the label of this god, you will not only be watched by the gods, but also have to strictly abide by various religious rules, and it will be very troublesome to convert at that time.

If you don't get baptized and just become a general believer, most of the gods will not regard it as a sin.

Most of the people who listen to the scriptures just want to receive relief, not really want to enter the Grace House to be subject to various constraints.

But as long as people believe in religion, they will have clean food and water every day...

The materials of the Grace House are also very limited, and it is impossible to provide the best daily food for every baptized believer. Walsh Culler's idea perfectly solves this problem. They only need to turn the "supply" into a "reward" for the outstanding ", you can harvest multiple believers with limited resources!

Walsh Kahler asked several audience members to come on stage and asked them to tell their "success" stories. Unusual boasting.

Still, their stories do evoke empathy, adding credibility and appeal, as if if they did, they could become like them.

But in fact, when you pull people to the end, you will find that they are always a hair away from success, just like the price that can't be cut overnight.

Cloris pretended to be concentrating, but finally froze.

But then, Walsh Calle looked at her: "Under the Father, the lambs are brothers and sisters for each other. You are brothers and sisters. You have noble virtues and strive for each other, but this can only make you better each other, Instead of being me..." Walsh Caller said to Cloris with a deep voice and wise eyes, "Sometimes success is just a little chance, a ray of wisdom, so let's listen to Shaqima How should I put it, don’t be shy, little Sachima, tell me how you comprehended the true meaning of the scriptures?”

Why is it my turn?

Cloris was "flattered", she "smiled" and walked onto the stage, hiding her thoughts of wanting to kill Walsh Caller, cleared her throat:

"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that so many suffering people gathered together because of the mercy of the Holy Father. Compared with everyone else, I actually live in warmth and happiness..."

Her face was filled with satisfaction and joy like a spring breeze. Her brown copper skin was smooth and smooth, and she looked ordinary, but in fact, some of the delicate features of her facial features were covered up by her skin color.It's not great, but it's considered outstanding among refugees.

The girl in front of her can't be a lady from a wealthy family, but most of them are living in a comfortable life.That happiness does not seem to be fake, faintly making the audience feel jealous.

Shaqima's smile is pure and simple: "My father is a warrior and scholar who is brave, magnanimous, wise and knowledgeable, and is respected and admired by the neighbors. My mother is kind, beautiful and tough. She endured physical pain because of giving birth to me. Frail and sick, they gave me a warm childhood in a not-so-good environment, and they are heroes who pursued hope and light all their lives..."

The audience was full of question marks.

I came to hear you sing Versailles?

Cloris ignored those gazes, and continued to say calmly: "They didn't specify which god they believed in. If they really had faith, it must be 'light' and 'hope', but it is this kind of people, cruel The heretics persecuted them, red blood poured like hell from hell, but it didn't drown them, nor their vision and legacy..."

Raise first and then suppress——

Can this fucking be called a warm childhood?

Listeners discover whether their own standards of happiness are even a little bit high.

"It sounds like little Shaqima, just like everyone else, has also struggled through a miserable ordeal..." Walsh Calle wiped his sweat, and suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to give this girl a chance to show off.

Her routine is also not ordinary!If you let it go, your position in front of Moxiu will be in jeopardy!

"No, Mr. Kahler, do you think the test of the Holy Father is a tribulation?" Cloris looked at Walsh Kahler sternly, even with anger in her eyes, "My parents made me survive, I inherit their behests, and I shoulder their unfinished business. My life flows from their blood. The Holy Father keeps me alive. The glory they yearn for will eventually spread to the earth. I am the continuation of their lives. I am ...a gift from the Father! How can you twist it into a miserable ordeal?!"

173. Moxiu's Invitation

Walsh Culler's success theory is to treat suffering as empathy, supplemented by the gap in reality, and promote and motivate the audience's confidence and motivation in the form of "reward" induction.

Cloris, on the other hand, substituted more of her religious identity, attributed everything to the gift of the Holy Father without thinking, subjectively ignored personal efforts and achievements, completely disrupted Walsh Kahler's established ideas, and did not do anything. A tool man who walks with his nose.

If you have virtues, it is the character that the Holy Father rewards you. If you have harvest, it is the opportunity that the Holy Father bestows on you.

But this kind of fanaticism seems difficult to be recognized by pragmatic audiences.

Cloris continued: "My family was ruined, I was sold to a brothel by mercenary guards, and I was beaten, scolded and tortured countless times, but is this really tragic?"

The audience was bewildered.

Isn't this tragic?

"If you feel miserable, you must have missed the opportunity that the Lord left in every trial! The Holy Father blessed me to escape from the villains, He guided me to this place, and finally, I saw the real 'light' ' and 'hope' - right here! That's you, it's us each other! As long as we are sincere, all thorns will not hinder! However, I know that many people who are already in happiness and light feel that they are not That’s why we need pastors to guide us, so that we can see and hear the Lord’s call!”

Cloris set her eyes on Moxiu in the corner.

Walsh Caller's eyes were bright and thoughtful.

Some listeners who only wanted relief dismissed it, while those who really wanted to listen to the scriptures were already thinking about what opportunities the Lord had left for them that they had missed in their life.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that if many regrets can be avoided, I will be able to live a better life, and I will not be reduced to such a field...

"I'm so stupid, really, I have won more than 1000 Aegis, but I still gamble. My wife has already persuaded me to stop. She said that if I gamble for a long time, I will lose. My God, it must be the Lord through her." My mouth gave me a warning, but I ignored it!"

Some people cry, some are annoyed, some are happy, in short, they all found the direction of life.

Moxiu whispered to his entourage at the side: "There are some ways of Paya, but this child has a broader vision than Paya. She knows life rather than accepting it. She also knows how to identify the right pastor. You and me They are all gentle lambs, but she is extraordinarily cunning, like Walsh, hiding the truth behind the show."

Cloris' speech was summed up by Moxiu as "submissive".But if the girl is really that kind of person, why would she ask him to deal with the traffickers who kidnap children?Therefore, Mo Xiu evaluated the girl as "cunning".

"The master means...?" The two attendants couldn't figure out whether they agreed or denied this sentence.

Mo Xiu spoke softly: "Don't underestimate young people, they can always produce whimsical ideas that old people don't have... Our suffering is also a grand drama, showing the Lord what it should be. You don't have to pay attention to her You don’t need to say what is false and what is true in this grand drama. True and false are your essence. Don’t listen to how she sings, but watch what she does in the end. Everything in the world comes to the same goal. .In comparison, Qifa and Paya can’t be wrong, but their swords are slanted.”

Ying 21 asked: "Then Shaqima...?"

Mo Xiu laughed: "Let's see what she is going to do. Remember, a true shepherd must have the awareness to die at any time, and we will shed the right blood at that time."
