Chapter 220: God's Gift
Hearing the gentle male voice coming from behind, Sophie showed an expected wry smile, and she immediately tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.
And when they saw the carriage stop, the group of homeless people were also stunned for a moment, and then saw the golden cross, as if they realized something, and then crowded forward, in their eyes, the people in the carriage were the messengers sent by the God of Light, and the God of Light would definitely save them.
Some people even had tears in their eyes, but most people didn't have much culture, so naturally they couldn't say any beautiful words of gratitude, and finally an old man took the lead and stood respectfully in front of the carriage, his hands clenched into fists together, kneeling down and saluting, which was the act of praying to the god of light, this old man was obviously a devout believer in the god of light.
Soon, all the people around reacted, knelt on the ground like the old man, and prayed.
"My lord, are you a messenger of God?" The old man asked, his voice still trembling.
Sophie did not answer, but stood on the shelf, gently lifted the golden curtain of the carriage, and then out of it came a very immature-looking teenager, the boy had white hair and eyelashes, even the hair on his face seemed to be transparent, under the glow of ice crystals and sunlight, it seemed to exude a divine glimmer, looking at the men, women and children crawling underground, a trace of pity flashed in his pure and flawless pupils.
"How pitiful."
The first old man who knelt down raised his head slightly, looked at the young man, and was immediately impressed by the appearance of the heavenly man, he was the messenger of the God of Light!
So compassionate, so flawless, it seems unreachable, as if it can't be touched, but yet it feels like the other person is close to you, intimate.
"Please...... Save us! ”
"Please save us!" Everyone said in unison.
The boy smiled a benevolent smile, completely out of proportion to his age, a smile that only some kind of exalted person would show, a pity for the insignificant.
And this kind of mercy for the weak is called mercy.
"I don't have enough food, but I'll save you."
As soon as he finished saying this, he gently stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and that finger touched the void in front of him, as if stirring the surface of the water, stirring up ripples in the air, and at the same time, his eyes were also glowing with a pale golden mist, and the glowing mist finally completely enveloped his eyes, and at a glance, it seemed as if his eyes were two bright lights, not dazzling, revealing a softness that made people fall into it.
The faint light emitted by the fingertips enveloped everyone, and then the golden glow like snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, landed on the body, and disappeared.
Then everyone felt an incredible power welling up in their bodies, even those who had not eaten for several days, the hunger was gone, and the spirit was replenished, as if they had just drunk and eaten and then woke up, their bodies were full of strength, and even their originally dull and tired eyes became bright.
Feeling the changes in their bodies, the people were prostrate on the ground, and suddenly one of them screamed and shouted: "Miracle! It's a miracle!! ”
"Thank you!" Everyone stood up, their faces excited.
The young man smiled indifferently and shook his head: "No, don't thank me, this is the blessing of the God of Light to the trapped people." ”
"Thank you for the blessing of the God of Light!"
"Thank you for the blessing of the God of Light!"
Everyone shouted like this, and for the first time they felt so close to the blessings of the gods, and in this moment, all were redeemed.
And at this moment, a person stood up tremblingly, walked in front of the young man tremblingly, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Why...... Why haven't I been blessed by the God of Light? ”
The person who spoke was a man, and now you could see at a glance that he was different from the people around him, he still had that very tired eyes, and his body did not become stronger, but still the kind of weak and windy wind, and kept holding on, as if the blessing just now did not take care of him at all, which can also be seen from the horror in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but your faith in the God of Light is not religious." The young man looked at each other and said bitterly, "So you have not been blessed by God." ”
"No...... That's not right! I believe in the God of Light very much, and when I used to be in my hometown, I used to go to the Holy See every week to pray, and I would recite the whole canon, so how could I not be religious? The man spoke almost with tears, he was telling the truth, and he had even recited a few very obscure teachings, and he felt that he was pious enough, and that it was not enough to prove his faith.
Listening to the man's words, a tear slipped from the corner of the young man's eyes, his crying had no warning, and it was not like acting, but a kind of pity, looking at the other party's eyes, like looking at a person who had not yet woken up.
"I'm sorry, I can't save you right now, the God of Light has only given me the ability to save God's believers. I have planted the seed of blessing in all of us, but if the seed is to sprout, it is only through your true heart. He gently patted the man on the shoulder as a sign of reassurance, then turned to the others and said, "Keep going, and it won't be long before you see the Holy See's asylum, where you can rest." ”
One last glance at the man, he slowly slipped into the carriage, and then Sophie lowered the curtain again.
"Wait, sir! Please...... Help me. ”
The carriage continued to move forward, and the man's cry echoed behind him, and Sophie could hear the sobs coming from the carriage, so she frowned and sighed.
As a magician, although he has a powerful power that others can't match, because of his overly pious heart and dedication to saving sentient beings, this young man has to bear too much responsibility and pain.
Sophie has seen so much of this sordid world, and she understands that sometimes she has the heart to save people, and she must have the consciousness to abandon some important things, and if she thinks about saving everything, then one day her spirit will collapse.
However, I'm afraid that's why he's a magician, and he's not.
"Sophie, that man...... What will happen? ”
"Lord Bai, the God of Light will not abandon anyone, the reason why he is not blessed now, any suffering and setbacks now is a test for him by the God of Light, that is the grinding that must be experienced to the country of God, the pain experienced by the body will eventually dissipate, and in the end, all that can be left is the sublimated soul." Sophie said seriously.
The people in the carriage were silent, and the carriage continued to move forward, the clattering hooves of the horses splashing heavy snow, leaving a series of plum blossom-like footprints behind them, and then finally covered with snow again.
