Just when Emlyn White was hesitating whether to pray to the Fool, Mr. A was doubting life in a safe house in the East District.
As a senior Extraordinary who has been a shepherd for a long time, he also has his own rules for acting.
Shepherd, which means "all living beings are the Lamb of the Lord, and I shepherd all living beings on behalf of the Lord", which is also the origin of the word "pastor".
Therefore, Shepherd is one of the few extraordinary sequences whose playing methods have nothing to do with their own extraordinary abilities.
When he herds extraordinary people, he will not get any feedback from the magic potion. Instead, he will get considerable feedback when he develops believers and strengthens the religion.
Just like ordinary people shepherding sheep, only the stupidest shepherds will keep waving their whips and driving the sheep away, while smart shepherds will train "head sheep" to lead the sheep and raise "shepherd dogs" to protect the sheep.
Among them, the leader sheep is the leader who actively believes in our Lord and leads other lambs to believe in our Lord, while the shepherd dog is an extraordinary power to protect believers.
If you want the sheep to be obedient, you must first feed the leader sheep. If the leader sheep gets benefits, it will become the envy of the other lambs. They also want to be the leader sheep. If they get benefits, they will obediently follow the pace of the leader sheep.
However, I don’t know since when, the grazing process he summarized seems to be useless.
It's not because the mentality of the lambs has changed, but because the surrounding wolves have become more cunning and cruel.
The shepherd dogs he trained were completely unable to withstand the attacks of wolves, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Obviously half a year ago, Backlund's East District, dock area, and factory area were still in such chaos that no matter how he preached, it would not attract official attention.
But now, every time his missionary work started to improve, they would be eliminated by the official Beyonders, which made him begin to wonder whether the Beyonders in Backlund were really idle to this extent.
But the most important thing about his life is——
The forces developed by Snow have survived all these raids unscathed!
Mr. A feels that this situation is too fake. The scale of his fat and big meat cult is far less than one percent of the enthusiasm, and the noise it creates is far less than the labor movement.
But the two families that jumped the most didn't do anything at all. Instead, their own fat and meaty religion was brutally wiped out.
If he hadn't seen the Zealot and the labor movement praying to the Lord with his own eyes, and he could also receive confirmation when praying for the Lord's gospel, he would even have suspected whether these two organizations had secretly surrendered to the officialdom!
In fact, Mr. A does not really have to herd the animals himself, because from a certain perspective, Snow itself can be regarded as the leader and shepherd dog he developed.
But the problem is that his loyalty to the Lord in his heart prevents him from sitting back and enjoying the results with peace of mind. He always wants to do something.
He began to observe the behavioral patterns of the Enthusiasm and the workers' movement, tracked and assassinated those official Extraordinaries who came to clean up the Fat Meat Cult, and even pretended to be official Extraordinaries to tentatively attack the periphery of the Enthusiasm and the Labor Movement in order to obtain enough support.
information.
Then, he discovered an even more incomprehensible situation——
The "shepherd dogs" protecting these two organizations are actually those "jackals"!
"Did Snow corrupt the upper echelons of Loen's military? Drive a nail into MI9?"
Every time I see MI9 helping to cover up information about the labor movement and enthusiasm, and how they try their best to erase all traces of cults, and even secretly block information about "belief in heathenism," Mr. A feels very ridiculous.
Because this is no longer something that can be done by corrupting one or two people. You must know that Loen's military is not a one-spoken organization. The major nobles restrain each other. MI9 is said to be an agency directly under the king, and there are still internal
Many party branches, even the lower-level members, basically come from major aristocratic families. In other words, even if they dominate one or two high-level officials, the lower-level members will still not obey orders wholeheartedly.
But the problem now is that almost all MI9 members who appear in the East District and the factory area are covering up their enthusiasm, and the labor movement is even more outrageous——
Protecting them are the bankers, capitalists and emerging aristocrats.
It was difficult for Mr. A to understand the psychology of those who were forced to lose a lot of money to improve workers' conditions to protect the labor movement, but he still understood one thing -
That is, Snow's idea of "shepherding" is different from his.
What he adopted was the traditional "herding triangle" composed of a shepherd, a sheep, and a shepherd dog, while Snow's method was to directly raise all the sheep in pens.
He gives all the sheep enough "forage" so that they can grow, and drives them to unite for profit. Although this method is not as pious as the traditional lamb development method, the speed and stability are far superior to the head sheep method.
Even in this structure, there are no so-called shallow believers, and all the lambs will not disperse in a rush because of the death of the leading sheep. Each lamb has its own interests. Even if there is no official acting as a shepherd dog, they will still encounter difficulties.
Never fight for your own interests.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Mr. A's mind, and he seemed to understand why the official would take the initiative to act as a shepherd dog.
Just like Snow gave benefits to civilians to pray to the Lord, for the official, the stable East District and Factory District can reduce the internal friction of the kingdom. At the same time, the royal family and the church themselves are not monolithic. Compared to the church, the royal family does not care so much
Beliefs, even if they are followers of the evil god, as long as they do not affect the rule of the royal family, they will be happy to see them check and balance each other with the righteous church.
After realizing this, Mr. A felt that his whole being had been sublimated, because he even saw the possibility that Aurora would become the "Church of the Righteous God"!
"Backlund Parish may not need me anymore." Mr. A smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking about when to transfer to other parishes with the look of the Dark Saint.
This is not an escape, but that he is impatient and wants to experiment with this new set of "shepherding rules" in other areas!
Let the Aurora Society become the Orthodox Church, and let the Lord's faith no longer be suppressed by the Seven Gods. Just thinking about it makes Mr. A tremble all over!
…
Just as Mr. A was thinking about the future, the little sun in the "Sanctuary of the True Creator" had just woken up from his deep sleep. He listened to the fire burning quietly beside his ears and the steady breathing of the team members who guarded the camp dutifully.
Count your heartbeat silently.
Every mature Beyonder in Silver City has the ability to judge the approximate time based on the level of hunger. After a short period of contemplation, he slowly relaxed a little. There was still a long time before departure, enough to participate in the Tarot Club.
