Chapter 5 In the Name of the Father

The morning sun was shining brightly, shining on the snow-capped mountains in western Romania, reflecting a piece of pure white light. Although it is a world of ice and snow, you can feel the unique warmth of Dongyang.

Standing in front of the window, Shen Yi looked at the rows of silver-needle cedars and the snow-covered silver sea, and was intoxicated in this white world for a moment.

He lives in the southern coastal area of ​​China, and he has not seen a single snowfall for many years. When he went to the capital for a few years, he was either immersed in his studies, or thought hard about revenge. He occasionally had leisure time. In the bustling city, everyone was busy with their lives. , How many people can stop and appreciate?

I didn't expect that now that I entered the world of Van Helsing's mission, I would have the opportunity to be in the mood to see the natural features of the 19th century.

Theoretically speaking, if he didn't die, he would be able to see all kinds of fantasy worlds in the future.

Although I don't know why it exists.

"You look good, you seem to have fully recovered." Anna's voice came from behind.

Shen Yi looked back, she was wearing a bright blue long dress with exquisite lace on the side, and a red ribbon tied on her head, she looked quite casual and slightly wild .

She was standing at the door with her shoulders folded.

"It's thanks to your medicine." Shen Yi replied.

With despicable medical skills, Shen Yi has fully recovered last night, and all wounds have healed.

After becoming an adventurer, Shen Yi obviously felt that his physique was no longer the same as that of ordinary people, and his recovery ability was greatly enhanced. Even without the effect of healing, one night was enough for him to recover a lot.

"You don't need to make such an excuse. I know the efficacy of those medicines, but if you don't plan to tell them, I won't force you to ask them. Everyone has the right to keep their own secrets."

"You are a good and considerate girl." Shen Yi said with a smile.

Suddenly the bell rang in the small town, melodious and crisp.

Shen Yi looked out the window, and saw a large number of townspeople gathering again.

"What happened again?"

Anna replied: "No, it's nothing. It's the church bell. Most of the townspeople in Transylvania are devout believers. Today is a Sunday to pray to God."

"What are they praying for?"

"What else? May God free them from vampire slavery."

"Funny, after what happened last night, I thought they were welcoming of vampires."

"It's like no one welcomes*, except no one dares to resist. Dracula is too powerful."

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yi's mouth.

He picked up his coat and walked out the door.

"Hey, where are you going?" Anna asked.

"go to church."

"Are you a believer too?"

"Everyone has faith." Shen Yi replied.

—————————————

In the church, an old priest with white hair was preaching.

"Today, we gather here to express our devotion and thanksgiving to God. This is a suitable place, because it is full of holy light and free from the evil of the world. As we know, all evil spirits do not exist for no reason, it is It is the projection of evil in our hearts, the reflection of greed, hatred, jealousy, fear and other negative emotions in our hearts, God guides us, he is like the sun, warms us, drives away darkness, and drives away evil spirits."

"God is the Father and our Lord. To disrespect the Father is to abandon the light, and to rely on and rely on darkness and evil. The Father punishes him and makes him surrounded by evil spirits until one day, He came to his senses. If he could not take refuge, the Heavenly Father would send down holy light to wash away his sins."

"Let us pray to the Father, the Father grants us light, grants us air, grants us flowers, grants us clear water, grants us peace. In the name of the Father, let our hearts remain pure and no longer be eroded by the evil forces of darkness."

"Amen!"

"Amen!" All the believers prayed together in a low voice.

After the sermon is officially over, the priest usually asks some believers how they feel. Some believers often tell loudly that since they converted to Heavenly Father,

The mind is freed, and it is peaceful and so on. There are also some believers who will ask the priest about some things that happened, and the priest will give an answer.

At this moment, a townsman is praying for the priest's guidance:

"Silver Wolf died yesterday, Father, is this God's arrangement?"

The priest replied: "The Lord's will cannot be guessed, and we must obey the Lord's will. The Lord will punish us, we should accept it calmly, and the Lord will reward us, and we should also be humble and grateful. The silver wolf is the subordinate of the vampire Dracula, and the undead are evil. existence, the Lord will surely punish and destroy them."

"But what if Count Dracula comes to trouble us?"

The priest replied, "Then we should face it calmly, the Lord...has his own arrangements."

"The question is, when the Lord's arrangement comes, can you see it? Can you understand it?" In the church, a loud word broke the short-lived peace.

The believers looked back and saw Shen Yi standing at the door of the church.

Hulala, a large group of people stood up, and someone shouted: "It was that foreigner who killed Silver Wolf and brought disaster to the town. How dare he come here!"

"Quiet! Holy place, don't make noise!" the priest shouted.

Everyone fell silent at the same time.

Shen Yi walked towards the pulpit with a smile, and came to the priest's side: "Your Excellency, can I say a few words?"

The priest looked at Shen Yi, thought for a while and finally nodded: "Everyone has the right to express their opinions, and the Heavenly Father is magnanimous. Even if he is a heinous person, you cannot deprive him of the right to speak. But if you blaspheme Lord, you will be punished."

He backed away, and Shen Yi formally stood on the stage.

Shen Yi looked around at the townspeople in the church, and said loudly: "Before I make a formal speech, I want to tell you a little story."

"The story goes like this. There was once a believer who impressed his kind Father with his piety. After his death, he returned to heaven, and the Father summoned him. The Father asked him: What reward do you need? He replied : I want my son to be a big shot."

"The heavenly father agreed to his request. After the son of the believer knew the reward from the heavenly father, he never had a proper job. He abandoned the field, stopped farming, and waited for the heavenly father to arrange for him to become the duke of a country every day. But how could he He couldn't wait. But he firmly believed that the benevolent Heavenly Father would fulfill his promise, so he waited resolutely. Day after day, year after year. He became more and more poor and destitute. In the end, he was forced to live in a broken courtyard, where he begged for the day, until a freezing and snowy day, he had no clothes, no food, and died miserably like that."

"After he died, he went to see the Father and asked why the Father hadn't fulfilled his promise."

"Heavenly Father said, I have never forgotten my promise to your father. But if you want to become a big man, you must first become an official. Even if it is only the lowest civil servant, I can make you flourish, but you just don't do anything. , May I ask how can I make you a big shot? I have no choice but to change the conditions, hoping to make you a general. But I sent you letters for recruiting soldiers time and time again, but you didn’t even read them. Throw it away. If you go, I can guarantee that you will never be wounded by the enemy's sword. Wherever you go, you will write the glory of military exploits, but if you don't go, I have no choice. So, I just I can change the condition again, I hope you can become a businessman. As long as you go into business, your business will always be booming. No matter what you do, you will always have customers, but you still don’t do anything. There is really no way, I can only let it go Some gold is under the stone slab in the yard where you live. You just need to do a little cleaning to find the existence of the gold. But you still don’t do anything... No matter what reward I give you, you need to find it yourself and pursue it , to work hard at least once to get it. So, it's not that I didn't fulfill my promise, but that when I gave you a reward, you didn't know how to cherish it at all, and turned a blind eye..."

Shen Yi told this simple story in a flat tone, with a strange smile in his eyes.

He looked at the believers in the church, paused for a while, and then continued: "Unfortunately, in my opinion, the people in the small town of Transylvania are just like that stupid and lazy child. Waiting for the salvation of the Heavenly Father, but when the salvation of the Heavenly Father has arrived, they don’t know how to cherish and love, and instead treat those who help them with the attitude of an enemy.”

"What are you talking about?!" A townsman stood up.

It was Gasken, the tavern boy who had a crush on Anna.

"You heard what I said." Shen Yi said loudly: "As you can see, when Heavenly Father sent his messengers to rescue you from danger, your attitude was that you were afraid of offending evil. Look at this What is going on in the town? You are oppressed by vampires, but you ignore the help from the outside world, and try to arrest the person who killed the silver wolf and hand it over to Count Dracula to appease his anger. Is this the way you treat the gift of the Father when He gives you help? You pray every day for the light to come and the darkness to go away from you. But when the light does come, you choose What you want is to abandon the light and embrace the darkness! So, what are you!"

Shen Yi roared: "A group of hypocrites! A group of selfish, lazy, incompetent, and cowardly unbelievers! You have blasphemed the gift of the heavenly father, ignored the glory of the heavenly father, embraced the power of darkness, bowed your knees to the evil, Then come and ask for forgiveness from the Father? Are you worthy?"

"You bastard!" Gasken yelled through gritted teeth, his face was flushed red, and his fists were tightly clenched.

However, he did not rush forward to beat Shen Yi, because before him, someone stood up and yelled at Shen Yi: "How can you, a foreigner, be qualified to be the messenger of the Heavenly Father? When the gift of the Heavenly Father comes, we will naturally will know!"

It was Norson who spoke.

He turned his head and yelled at the townspeople behind him, "Get rid of this bastard!"

boom!

gunshots.

Northon wailed and fell down clutching his thigh.

On the podium, the gun in Shen Yi's hand emitted wisps of blue smoke.

Everyone was shocked by this shot.

The priest yelled, "How can you do something bloody in a holy place?!"

Shen Yi turned back and glared at the priest: "Holy book: All those who are loyal to the Lord swear to obey the commandments, laws, and regulations, and fulfill the promises written in the book. Those who violate it will be severely punished. Satan has the Lord's permission to bring disasters." To Job; Moses and Aaron brought ten disasters to Egypt according to the will of God; those who disobey the will of the Lord will be punished by the Lord. The Lord is merciful and severe. The gift of the Lord can bring you light , but if this place has been invaded by evil forces, then it should be cleared!"

Shen Yi had a deep understanding of many sources of the Bible, so the priest had nothing to answer when he said something.

Nuo Sen covered his legs and shouted: "I have not been corrupted by evil! I am God's most loyal believer!"

Shen Yi sneered: "Northnla Hall was born in 1865 into a merchant family. You don't believe in God, what you really believe in is money and status, and you aspire to become a real noble. But on the other hand, Germany Count Kula is the one who rules this land. So you bow down to him and provide him with information about the town at any time in exchange for your own safety. What you want most is to marry Anna Villaris, so You can prove that you can become a true nobleman in Telan Town. But you are worried that you will be bound by the oath of the ancestors of the Villaris family, so that you will not be able to go to heaven after death. You are a completely selfish existence, How strange, for a selfish and despicable villain like you, how can you be confident that the Heavenly Father will take in a person like you?"

"You..." Nuo Sen was taken aback by Shen Yi's straightforward confession. These things only exist in his heart, how would he know?

Shen Yi slowly aimed his gun at the townspeople in the church: "Don't be surprised, my father told me all of this. This man's filth is disgusting. He deceived and deceived the townspeople. In the name of the father, this shot just now is my punishment for you."

"Personating the Father's emissary and using worldly weapons in the Father's halls, you deserve to be punished!" Gasken yelled.

Perhaps because of Anna, Gasken has never had any good feelings for Shen Yi.

"Gasken Powell, once an orphan from a foreign country, was taken in by the old carpenter here after he came to Transylvania, and has since settled here. Everyone knows that you have a strong physique and a brave and ruthless character. You also have an excellent capacity for drinking, but few people know that you are a descendant of the Vikings. Although you are just a tavern guy, good at fighting and showing off, you are actually a real warrior. It's a pity It is because you did not shoulder the honor and responsibility that a warrior should have, allowing yourself to be buried in the small town and watching the townspeople here being humiliated."

Shen Yi continued to speak calmly, and everyone looked at Gasken in amazement at the same time.

The young man's face became panicked: "You... how do you know?"

"As I said, father knows everything." Shen Yi's expression was indifferent.

"Is he really the messenger of God?" The townspeople began to discuss among themselves.

Seeing Nuo Sen who was shot in the thigh, Shen Yi suddenly walked over and stretched out his hand to press Nuo Sen's injured leg.

Despicable medical treatment activated.

Nuo Sen's injured leg started to improve.

"Oh my god, this is a miracle!" People exclaimed, looking at Shen Yi with fear in their eyes.

Shen Yi said slowly: "This is the Lord's gift."

Everyone bowed down to Shen Yi at the same time.
