At the door of the Mechanical Church, the atmosphere once again fell into silence, but it was different from the previous silence due to Dinisha's majesty. The silence at this time was more like the last calm before the storm.
It was as if there was an invisible flame spreading among the crowd. For a moment, Dinisha and even the witches upstairs felt that what they were facing was not a crowd, but a crater about to erupt.
Dorothy had previously asked two intelligence officers, Madeleine and Audrey, to investigate the nature of the so-called "evil people" who had wandered into Sin City.
And the results of the investigation were indeed beyond her expectations.
Although there are indeed many evil people in this era, how can there be so many truly evil people? If there were so many evil people, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
In fact, among the large number of defectors every day, the proportion of real villains is actually quite small, and the majority are actually resisters.
They just couldn't stand the double oppression of the church and the imperial nobles, and their days were almost unbearable, so they couldn't bear it anymore and resisted, either intentionally or unintentionally, but such resistance was not allowed.
Even if most people's resistance is just a curse, they are still wanted by the church and the empire.
In the eyes of the church and the imperial nobles, they don't care why you resisted. Anyway, you are guilty if you don't accept it. If you have grievances, just hold them back. They are just a bunch of untouchables. How dare you offend me as a master?
Under such strong oppression, there have naturally been many incidents where the government forced the people to rebel. Many people could no longer survive outside and had no choice but to come and seek refuge in the Sin City.
It’s not that they don’t know that Sin City, the devil’s territory, is very cruel, and it’s very difficult to live here, but there is really no other way. They will definitely die outside, but they may die only if they enter Sin City, so why should they hesitate?
Tyranny is stronger than the devil.
It's just that the truth is this, but if you are forced to leave your hometown, you can only linger in this hell on earth. It is impossible for a person to not have resentment in his heart.
But what's the use of hating them anymore? They don't have the strength to deal with these two behemoths, the Church and the Empire. No matter how unhappy they are, they can only hold it in.
But this kind of anger will never dissipate. Even if some people have been tortured by life and become numb, they can no longer feel their anger. But as long as the time comes and someone throws a little spark like this, then after fermentation
The anger that becomes more and more violent will resurface in an instant.
The collapse of adults often only takes a moment, and the same is true for the anger of honest people. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone humans.
And now, Dinisha's speech is that little spark.
Soon, in this unsettlingly dull atmosphere, someone spoke.
The speaker was none other than the girl chosen by Dinisha.
"Then Teacher Dinisha, if this is the case, please allow me to join you. Although I don't have much power, if it is to deal with the church and the empire, then I am willing to do anything."
The girl with eyes almost spitting out fire said through gritted teeth.
Yes, they had no power in the past. When they were bullied, they could only hold back and endure. They could only drag their bruised and bruised bodies to the corner to lick their wounds alone. But it is different now, because of the Mechanicus.
The appearance of the mysterious machine gave them hope of resistance and even revenge.
However, in response to this, Dinisha showed a troubled expression on her face.
"Although I would be very happy if you can really join. After all, we are indeed short of manpower now, but you have to think clearly. This is very dangerous. We are not strong enough to protect everyone. The church
You should know very well how powerful the empire is."
The tone of Miss Shepherdess became softer again. She whispered to soothe the girl's emotions and persuaded her in this way.
"If you still stay in Sin City, relying on the power of machinery, you can protect yourself and live a comfortable life. But once you join the Mechanicus, you will go to the battlefield with us, which will take a lot of time.
Bleeding can even lead to death.”
"Teacher, you don't need to say more, I have already made up my mind."
However, no matter how much Dinisa tried to persuade her, the girl's face was still so determined.
After all, she had nothing left. Her parents had taken her to escape to this sinful city, but now she was all alone. Not long after her parents sent her to the city, she died from the injuries she sustained while fleeing.
It was too heavy and I couldn't hold it.
She originally thought that she might have no hope of revenge in this life, but now, that might be the only opportunity right in front of her, and she would seize it tightly no matter what.
With the girl taking the lead, some people in the crowd began to push forward, with the fire of hatred burning in their eyes.
"Lady Dinisha, and I, too, I am willing to join the Mechanicus and fight to the end with the Church and the Empire."
"Sister Sister, as long as you can give me a chance for revenge, I am willing to sacrifice everything."
"And me, too."
Soon, the crowd surged. There was no way, everything was lacking in this sinful city, but there was no shortage of evil spirits thirsting for revenge.
After witnessing all this, Dinisha felt a little regretful.
Having been almost burned to death by a witch hunter, she could understand how these people felt.
If it were her own, then she would not hesitate to comply with this craze for revenge, and would even fan the flames and accelerate the power of this craze, because it would bring her greater authority and higher prestige.
As long as she works hard to be the enemy of the Church and the Empire, and continues to instill in these people that only she can help them get revenge, and only by following her can they gain the power of revenge, then these evil spirits who long for revenge will always follow her.
Behind her, she becomes her strength, just like her former flock.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Killing to stop killing, and violence to combat violence, this is more in line with her concept. After all, she is just a village girl, and she really doesn’t understand any big principles.
, she only knows to take revenge when there is hatred, and to take revenge when there is hatred.
But who allows her to still have Dorothy now? Unlike her who is more eager to complete revenge simply and crudely, this childhood sweetheart hopes to redeem those who are still living in oppression.
To be honest, Dinisha didn't really agree with Dorothy's idea. After all, in her opinion, rescuing those weak mortals without power was troublesome and thankless, and settling so many people was a very laborious task.
Moreover, as long as they can simply overthrow the rule of the church and the empire, then the oppressed civilians will naturally be saved.
Isn't it the same thing to resist first and then save? Why go out of your way to save first and then resist?
Years of experience in herding sheep have taught Dinisha that a group of sheep with a common purpose is often easier to manage.
Therefore, leading an army of vengeance is definitely more powerful than leading a ragtag group of people.
After all, not all redeemed people know how to be grateful. White-eyed wolves are not rare in this world. If there are these guys in the team, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to form a fighting force, and they may even hinder you.
However, who makes Dorothy her good sister? No matter what her sister wishes, she will find a way to help her accomplish it.
Moreover, she herself was actually redeemed by Dorothy, so she really had no position to oppose this good sister's idea of redeeming more people.
After all, when she was tied to the stake, she had longed for a hero to save her. Now that the hero was here, how could she bear to use her narrow thoughts to restrain the hero's hands and feet?
So, this time, let's take the road of redemption. Although this road is much more difficult than the road of revenge, for Dorothy, she will find a way.
so.
"quiet"
Miss Shepherdess shouted angrily. Her voice was not very loud, but it miraculously drowned out the voices of the Avengers in the square. An invisible force swept the whole place, making the people who were excited just now suddenly feel like
The students who saw their class teacher generally calmed down again.
"What do you think of the Mechanicus? Is it a tool for your revenge? Have you forgotten the second article of the doctrine?"
Dinisha asked the crowd sullenly, but this time, she did not wait for anyone to answer, but gave the answer herself.
"We will revolutionize the world with machinery, so that all those who are in suffering can be saved."
"I thought that as the redeemed, you should have a better understanding of this second doctrine, but now it seems that I was naive. You are just like those who once oppressed you. The church is no different from the empire. You are gaining strength.
The first thing he did after that was to resort to violence."
"Revenge? It's revenge now, but what happens after the revenge is over? Will you who are used to solving problems through violence become new oppressors? Are you worthy of our teachings these days?"
This time, Miss Shepherdess' words were harsh. She shook her head, her eyes sad and sad.
"What's more, what do you think of the Church and the Empire? How can they be so easy to deal with? The Mechanicus has no gods. We are just humans. This time we came to Sin City just to leave the legacy of the Mechanicus.
After we fail, no one can inherit our cause, but you."
She did not continue to say the rest, but just sighed.
However, after witnessing her disappointment, the people who were originally excited suddenly became mute. They lowered their heads in shame, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Yes, no one understands the value of this redemption better than those who were rescued from hell by the Mechanicus, but look what they just did, they actually tried to coerce their benefactors to help them take revenge, trying to
How blasphemous it is to use this redemptive power for violence.
At this time, many people recalled the teachings of the Mechanicus. In the past few months, although they had learned the teachings from the Mechanic monks, compared with these boring teachings, the knowledge of the mechanical way
It is undoubtedly more interesting and practical, and the monks have never asked them to study the doctrine too much, unlike other sects who want you to memorize the doctrine backwards and forwards.
But now, with such shame, they look back at the teachings and feel that every one of them is so direct to the heart.
"There is no distinction between high and low professions, everyone should be equal."
"Workers all over the world should unite, unity is strength."
"Labor is the most glorious, workers are the greatest"
What a simple doctrine. It is not at all as complicated and obscure as the doctrines propagated by previous cults. But looking at such a simple and unpretentious doctrine now makes them even more ashamed.
It turns out that the Adeptus Mechanicus had taught them everything long ago, but they were blind and let down the Sister's hard work.
Especially the girl who was singled out, her face turned red at this time, her hands clenched the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned white when she squeezed them hard. She was most ashamed.
However, just when she was thinking about repenting to Teacher Dinisa and begging her to forgive her, she noticed that the face of the nun teacher in front of her suddenly changed. She tensed up at first, and then relaxed.
"Well, it seems the time has come. I forgot to ask your name, my sister."
Miss Shepherdess asked.
"Qiong, Teacher Dinisha, my name is Joan."
The girl said her name, but at this time she was even more nervous. Being naturally sensitive, she vaguely noticed something.
"Well, Joan, you are a good boy. I hope you can go further in the path of mechanics."
Dinisha reached out and patted the girl in front of her on the shoulder. Then she didn't speak anymore and just walked forward slowly.
Although the crowd that was originally blocking her didn't know what was going on at this time, when they saw the nun approaching, they parted ways in awe.
Just like that, the shepherdess wearing a black and white nun's uniform separated from the crowd and walked straight ahead, and in front of her was the direction of the city gate.
"The enemy has arrived, and it's time for us to leave. The factory will be left to you. I hope you can continue the Mechanicus well. This is our only prayer for you, my brothers and sisters."
The nun was obviously walking very slowly, but when people came to their senses, she had already arrived at the city gate. After leaving such words, everyone realized that the originally majestic mechanical church in front of them began to emit sounds.
Roaring, countless steel and gears flipped, and finally turned into a floating giant ship, also flying outside the city.
Speaking of outside the city, some sharp-eyed people noticed something unusual outside, that is, the sky was too bright.
"What is that? The legendary angel?"
Someone saw the angels coming from afar with the holy light and shouted in shock.
Angels are coming.
ps: I’ve been getting more and more depressed recently. You guys are probably tired of it and are using excuses like raising books to deal with me, blah blah blah.
