Chapter 22 Peripheral Members
The East City area of Nasir is the poorest part of the town.
The people living here are lonely and helpless. Even if they get sick, most of them can only endure it. If they can't, they will die in pain.
This is how the poor people in Dongcheng used to live, as if they were ants crawling on the ground and no one cared about them.
Until five years ago, the appearance of Eileen Fisher was like a ray of gentle light to the poor.
She only charged high fees for treatment to the rich, but if middle-class people came to see Irene, the treatment costs would be greatly reduced.
As for the poor, Irene would come here once a week in person, stepping on the dirty mud with her expensive shoes, and treat the illness or injury of a poor person for free.
At first, she treated diseases and injuries in private, but later, in order to expand her influence, Irene chose to treat patients publicly.
Every time Irene cured people's illnesses, everyone would gather around and watch quietly. She would pray silently for a while, and everyone around her would pray with her.
Until the prayer is over, Irene will perform a shocking "miracle".
People who witnessed miracles time and time again admired the noble Irene more and more in their hearts, and she herself grew more noble, sacred, and inviolable. Thousands of poor people in East City gradually became a hidden huge force for the Fisher family.
There was an old lady in her eighties in Dongcheng. Everyone called her "Old Comb" or "Grandma Nada". She was respected by almost all the poor people. The most important reason was that the three sons of the old lady Nada were the leaders of the largest thieves gang in Dongcheng.
The three men were hot-tempered, insidious and cunning. Their gang of thieves numbered fifty or sixty people and was a perennial scourge to the town of Nasir. The only person who could stop and reprimand them was the old woman Nada.
The old woman Nada had warned them not to commit murder or rape. The gang of thieves formed by the three brothers is currently the most notorious in Nasir Town.
Three years ago, on the night when the jungle natives attacked the town of Nasir, the old woman Nada was hacked and wounded by the jungle natives who had fled to the East City to hide, and she was almost on the verge of death.
At that time, she was lying on the bed in pain, silently praying to the Lord of Savior she believed in.
However, He never responded, and the old woman Nada already knew in her heart that no one in the town of Nasir had ever seen the miracles of the almighty Lord of Savior in decades.
Even if He is a real and powerful god, if He will never respond to us or save us, do we still have to believe in and pray to Him day and night?
Tonight I am about to die after praying to the great Savior for more than seventy years.
The old woman Nada, immersed in despair and pain, thought about many things, but she did not die in the end. Her sons invited Ms. Irene from the Fischer family.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Irene calmly came to the old woman's house, and her three sons were waiting outside.
The gentle breath slid across the skin like soft silk, as soft and warm as a spring breeze. The emerald green mysterious power saved the old man from the hands of death.
After being rescued, Nada said weakly: "You saved me, I will definitely repay you in the future."
However, Irene did not ask for anything at that time, but just said it very calmly.
"My Lord's will saved me, and thus redeemed your fate."
The old woman Nada fell into deep thought. She had never heard of what god the Fischer family believed in.
Later, she and Irene became more and more familiar with each other, and they would often talk together and become close friends regardless of age difference.
A year ago, when the two were discussing religious issues, the old woman Nada finally couldn't help but ask about her beliefs.
Irene did not say which god in the True God Church she believed in, but just said:
"I carry out the will of my Lord and walk in the world with the power of healing. If you are willing, you should also pray to Him."
"Do you believe in the Lord of Savior?" Nada continued to ask in confusion.
Irene just smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
Nada could vaguely feel that attitude itself was a hint.
Could it be that her faith is in some great being who has not yet left his name in the world?
Tonight, the red and silver moons are shrouded in thin clouds, and the stars are hazy.
Irene came to the old woman Nada's house again and talked to her alone.
In the past, treatments were always performed in front of a crowd. Nada knew that when Irene from the Fisher family came to see him alone, it was usually because she had something to discuss.
Irene looked very calm, her eyes contained wisdom as deep as the universe, and her words had a fascinating aura.
"The Lord has bestowed upon you enough grace. You and your children have not been troubled by illness or pain for several years. Now you can no longer enjoy the treatment that should only belong to the devout for free."
What this means is that the trial period of enjoying health is over, and now it is time to make a decision.
Nada's expression changed for a long time. She no longer cared about living, but when she thought of her three children, they had been seriously injured more than once.
Moreover, she did not reject the God who saved her, and was sincerely grateful to Irene. In fact, the priests of the Orthodox Church on the East Coast would never save poor people like them.
Nada asked respectfully: "How great is your God, no, I mean my Lord?"
"The Dawn, the god we believe in, is the lost Lord of the Dawn. He is the incarnation of all things in the world, and the widely known Lord of Redemption is also a manifestation of Him."
Irene closed her eyes and continued calmly:
"Remember, do not spread the secret of believing in Him. Only the messengers chosen by the Fisher family are qualified to spread His greatness."
"Once you do not follow the doctrine of keeping secrets, God will gradually become disappointed and eventually withdraw His blessings from you, and you will suffer a terrible curse."
Nada quickly shook his head, nodded with awe in his eyes and said:
"No, absolutely not, Messenger, I will definitely abide by the teachings and keep the secret!"
In the world of Krad, gods are not superstitions, but real and great beings. However, there are very few true gods, and many "mysterious beings" that are similar to demons in concept often take advantage of the situation and try to seize people's faith.
After saying this, Irene took out a bottle of dark red potion from her arms and continued calmly:
"Then drink it, and you will feel the lost Lord of the Morning."
The old woman didn't even hesitate, she immediately smiled and drank the potion calmly.
After a while, she said uncertainly and confusedly:
"I, I don't seem to hear any sound. Has the Lost Lord of the Dawn not come yet?"
"He will come, but He who is great and powerful wants to see your performance first."
Irene smiled and continued, "If you perform well enough, you may even be granted permanent extraordinary powers."
Nada was extremely shocked and subconsciously did not believe her at all.
Although mysterious beings can grant ordinary people temporary extraordinary powers, ordinary people without talent can never become truly extraordinary people.
"Okay, I understand."
Nada has lived for more than eighty years, and of course he understands the specific meaning of "good performance".
The health of herself and her children would be guaranteed in the past and in the future, so it was only natural that some resources would be spent on it, the old woman nodded quite soberly.
Irene turned and left, thinking silently that the blood containing the Fisher family's bloodline would definitely have an effect.
Granny Nada will become a peripheral member of the Order of the Dawn and another pawn of the great Lost Lord.
If she dares to betray, my Lord will notice it immediately.
During a routine family meeting, Byrne took out a plan that he had revised repeatedly over the years. It contained a series of ideas on how to establish a secret cult. The doctrines and rules made extensive reference to the scriptures of the Orthodox Church.
They finally decided to only admit a very small number of people of status in Nasir Town into the Dawn Cult, and each vote to admit new members must be agreed by all three core members.
Except for the five major orthodox churches, all other beliefs on the continent of Oden are not recognized, and the Inquisition of the Orthodox Church also hates pagans very much.
Once confirmed as a heretic, the worst possible outcome would be life imprisonment, and the worst possible outcome would be "purification" on the spot.
The fewer people who join the Dawn Cult, the lower the possibility of the entire cult being exposed, so the structure of the entire organization must be streamlined.
Irene was the core priest, followed by other members of the Fisher family, and then various peripheral members. The structure of the newly established Dawn Cult was extremely simple.
The current peripheral members of the Order of Dawn are only Nada and an old servant of the Fisher family.
Late at night, Granny Nada stood by the window and couldn't sleep at all. She kept thinking about the whole ins and outs of the whole matter. She was basically sure that the Fisher family had been servants of the Lord of Dawn from the very beginning.
She couldn't help but think: "Irene trusts me like this, what will they do if I report this matter to the Tribunal?"
Suddenly, some extremely powerful will seemed to sense her subtle emotions, woke up from behind the scenes, and stared at her coldly from the highest point. The twisted and terrifying aura it exuded seemed to completely destroy everything.
How great!
The old woman fell to her knees, trembling all over, sweating profusely, and prayed madly.
"Lord of the Dawn! Great Lord of the Dawn, please forgive my disrespectful thoughts..."
He is staring at Himself!
