When Shen Yi walked into the church, she was already prepared to watch Shen Yi being beaten up by the townspeople until he was running away, or he was simply tied up and still in the dungeon.
She has even begun planning how to rescue Shen Yi from prison.
But what she finally saw was the townspeople sending Shen Yi out of the church with respect.
No, there are exceptions.
Gasken, the bartender, glared at Shen Yi with angry eyes: "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. I know that there are some people in this world who have special abilities, but that doesn't mean anything."
"Indeed." Shen Yi replied with a smile: "Every person with ability is a gift from the Lord. The Lord hopes that these people can spread His glory, but some people have taken the opposite path. Some people have taken the opposite path. They are evil forces and will eventually be destroyed. Some people bury themselves like pearls in the sand, failing the Lord’s gift. But I am just responding to the Lord. Call to embrace the light and drive away the darkness. You don’t have to believe that I am the messenger of the Lord, because that is not important. What is important is that I follow the holy righteousness and obey the call of the Lord. I am guided by the Lord and come in the name of the Father. , try my best to do what I should do.”
Gascon looked at Shen Yi blankly.
Shen Yi leaned into his ear and whispered: "The reason why you know that there are many people with special abilities is because you are one of them, right? But you have never faced the responsibilities you should fulfill. If you face life with this attitude, you will never win Anna's favor."
This sentence made Gasken speechless.
I have to say that mental detection is indeed a good ability.
This allowed him to successfully establish a sense of omniscience and mystery in the minds of the townspeople. Coupled with the role of medical skills, some townspeople have begun to believe that Shen Yi is the messenger of God.
After successfully establishing prestige, Shen Yi returned to Anna's house. Anna grabbed Shen Yi and asked: "Tell me how you did it?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Yi pretended to be confused.
"Of course it's the attitude of the people in town towards you! Oh, my God, I've never seen anyone who can completely change other people's impressions of themselves in one hour! They start to respect you!"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Don't believe what you see with your own eyes, Anna, no one can completely gain the respect of others within an hour, even if you save his life. True respect is a kind of understanding, a A kind of admiration from the heart, which takes time to accumulate and cannot be achieved by short-term glory. The people in this town respect not me, but God. I just borrowed the name of his old man to help me. , but that’s all.”
Shen Yi briefly explained what happened just now.
Anna felt dizzy after hearing this.
"This is incredible, but...but why did you do this?"
"Because we are dealing with Count Dracula!" Shen Yi said sternly: "The Villaris family has not been able to eliminate that vampire for hundreds of years. Why? Because your family has been fighting alone. You should have united. All the forces that can be united can then fight again."
"It's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that we can't do it!" Anna replied loudly: "As you can see, the people here are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are not willing to cooperate with my family at all! They are willing to linger under the claws of evil forces! "
"That's because you don't understand human nature or the art of leadership. Do you know what it takes to make people willing to die for you?" Shen Yi asked Anna.
Anna shook her head blankly.
Shen Yi gently leaned into Anna's ear and said: "First, give them hope!"
"hope?"
"Yes."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "The secret of leadership is to first give them hope, and secondly to make people feel awe of you. And the so-called awe is to have respect...and fear."
"Promise and hope can control people's hearts. This is respect!"
"Thunder means can control the situation. This is fear!"
"By means of miracles, in the name of the Father, majesty can be increased."
"Exerting strength and using thieves as warning can establish confidence."
"People have awe and confidence in you. If you give them promises and hope, they will obey your leadership and follow your footsteps. Even if you let them die, they will have no regrets. As long as they see the light existence, they will even stand up and fight on their own!"
"Holding a sword in one hand and holding a book in the other, this is the eternal secret of rule. Unfortunately, the Villaris family only knows how to hold a sword."
Shen Yi's words had a huge impact on Anna.
She never thought that there would be such a huge shortcoming in the family's confrontation with vampires.
In fact, not to mention her, even other adventurers never thought of mobilizing the townspeople to jointly resist when they went through Van Helsing's mission.
Shen Yi didn't know whether this was in line with the bloody city's wishes, but he knew clearly that any method that was not explicitly stipulated but was beneficial to him was worth trying.
Whether on earth or in the current world.
He would have no problem strapping all of Transylvania to his chariot if necessary.
Anna thought for a while and then said tremblingly: "If you do this, many people will die."
"With God around, death is not terrible." Shen Yi said with a smile.
"So, you are confident that the people in the town will follow you to kill Dracula?"
"No, not yet." Shen Yi immediately replied: "They have just accepted me. I still need time to consolidate and strengthen their confidence in me."
"How to strengthen confidence?"
Shen Yi did not answer.
He quickly walked to a corner of the hall and pulled out a cross sword from the weapons rack above.
Bloody Crest Tips:
Baptized Cross Sword: Damage 5-12, 20 points of incidental damage to undead creatures, non-mission reward items, cannot be carried out of this world.
Shen Yi's fingers passed over the sharp tip of the sword, and a cold tone came out of his mouth:
"First kill Count Dracula's other subordinate."
At night, there was silence outside the small town in Transylvania.
Most people have fallen asleep.
There is a small forest 1,500 meters away from the town, which is the camp of the dwarf.
The dwarfs, like the wolves, are all subordinates of the vampire Count Dracula.
These dwarf demons, who look about the same size as dwarfs, always like to cover their faces. They hold a big ax in their hands and a small throwing ax on their waist. They walk staggeringly. They don't look threatening, but in fact they are. He is Dracula's most hated accomplice.
Like human wolves, they are also formed from dead life, have violent temperaments, cruel methods, and a taste for killing.
Quietly walking along the side of the woods, Shen Yi and Anna carefully approached the dwarf community.
Several dwarf warriors were patrolling around the outskirts of the camp.
Among a large group of dwarves, there was a particularly tall guy in a red cloak, wearing a mask and holding a giant ax in his hand, calling something from time to time.
That guy should be the leader of the dwarves.
After the attributes were improved, Shen Yi's eyesight improved greatly, and he could see the distance clearly even in the dark night.
Shen Yi aimed at one of the dwarf demons and quietly used mental detection.
The dwarf devil's head displayed:
"Dwarf demon soldier, attack 7-15, defense 2, vitality 50, no skills. Undead creature, sacred attacks can cause extra damage, power type. No special vitals. Good at throwing axes."
Judging from the strength of these dwarf soldiers, except for having no special vital points, they are far inferior to human wolves in all aspects. No wonder the second main mission only rewards 500 blood points. But the problem is, there are no people in the camp. To suppress a large group of dwarves, there are far more than ten.
This invisible increase in difficulty is a bit of a headache.
"There are more than 50 dwarf demons." Anna looked into the distance and looked at Shen Yi with a little worry: "There are too many, what should I do?"
When Shen Yi told her that he was going to kill the leader of the dwarf demons, the girl was really frightened.
Although she has always been adhering to the legacy of the Villaris family and taking it as her own duty to eliminate the undead creatures led by vampires, she has clearly understood how difficult these undead creatures are after hundreds of years of fighting.
At this moment, when she saw that there were more than 50 dwarf demons, she breathed a sigh of relief. Subconsciously, she hoped that Shen Yi would retreat despite the difficulties.
But Shen Yi replied: "So we have to move them apart first, at least halfway."
He showed no intention of retreating.
"How to adjust it?"
Shen Yi whispered a few words to Anna. Anna frowned nicely: "How can you be sure that the leader of the dwarf demon will definitely divide his troops? What if it doesn't?"
"It will definitely divide because it is a leader. As a leader, there are some things that must be done." Shen Yi answered.
"I do not believe."
"How about making a bet?" Shen Yi asked.
"What to bet on?"
Shen Yi thought for a moment and replied: "If I win, you will promise me one thing. Don't worry, it's not something difficult to do. How about that?"
Ana was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, I promise you."
His expression was calm and generous, but there was something strange in his eyes.
Shen Yi was stunned and immediately knew that she was thinking wrongly.
But since the other party didn't shake his head to object, he didn't bother to explain.
A dwarf sentry on duty was wandering around outside the camp holding an axe.
Not far away, there was a sudden sound of tree branches being trampled.
After the dwarf sentry heard the sound, he looked into the distance and saw a silver coin shining brightly on the ground not far away.
The dwarf demon walked over and looked at the silver coin, shaking its head and muttering something unknown. Then it suddenly picked up a handful of soil and covered the silver coin.
Undead creatures have always had a great aversion to silver utensils. Weapons made of silver can even increase the damage to them. When these silver objects do not exist in the form of weapons, the undead creatures will try their best to hide them from the sky. Yes, that behavior is entirely out of instinctive disgust.
After covering up the silver coin, the dwarf sentry discovered another silver coin not far away.
This dwarf demon obviously didn't have a high IQ, so he walked over and buried it again.
When the seventh one was buried, a cross sword suddenly stabbed out strangely, severing its throat extremely quickly. Black rotten blood shot out, and the dwarf demon staggered for a few times before falling heavily.
Shen Yi's figure appeared from behind the tree. Looking at the traces buried along the way, he shook his head and said to Anna with a bitter smile: "If we are fishing for people, then the other party will definitely choose to pick up the money. The same behavior, different behaviors People face each other and make different choices, but the end result is the same...it's interesting, right?"
Anna gave him a roll of her eyes.
Shen Yi picked up the body of the dwarf demon and ran towards the river.
Ten minutes later, someone finally discovered that one of their soldiers was missing.
The dwarves started shouting loudly, looking for the missing soldier everywhere.
After searching for a while, someone discovered that the missing dwarf was dead on the other side of the river.
This discovery made the dwarves extremely angry.
The dwarves rushed out, leaving only an empty camp guarded by two dwarf soldiers.
"Hey, hello!" Shen Yi suddenly appeared from behind a tree.
Following this greeting, a puff of green smoke came out of the gun in his hand.
A dwarf fell on the spot.
Another dwarf soldier was about to throw the ax in his hand when a sharp cross sword pierced his vest. The dwarf twitched a few times and fell to the ground dead.
"What should I do next?" Anna asked Shen Yi, taking out the cross sword.
Shen Yi stroked the gun body gently and said coldly: "Wait until they come back, and then... kill them all!"
