Chapter 14: Grace
Daylight enters the room through the windows, which are cleverly designed so that the windows do not interfere with direct light and do not drift into the room during rain and snow.
Shepard, who opened his eyes, reached out and touched the side of the bed, and the already cold bed board proved that the people around him had gotten up early.
He lay on the bed and looked at the roof, wondering how to face Hunter.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what to say, and the two rooms were so close that the children of the human race were enlightened very early, as long as they were not stupid, they would probably know what was going on.
After a long time, the door was pushed open, and Filina, blushing, only stuck her head in, and said quickly and quietly to Shepard, "Eat, eat......"
Then he swooped back and closed the door with a soft snap.
Thinking about Aranda of the Maru family, and then thinking about Filina last night, Shepard could only sigh in his heart: There is really a big difference between people and people.
After getting dressed and walking out of the room, Hunter was already sitting at the table, his face was as usual, and his expression was even more kind when he looked at Shepard?
The three of them held each other's hands and prayed before the meal, Filina's hand that was grabbed by Shepard was small and rough, after all, it was an ordinary family who had to work every day, the nervous Filina's palm was full of sweat, Shepard gently wiped the sweat from her palm with his thumb, Filina's body stiffened, and then finally relaxed.
After eating, he was cleaning up, and suddenly a hoarse and ugly voice came from outside the door: "Oh, my beautiful Filina, are you up?" Do you need me to help you? ”
The expressions of the mother and son suddenly became ugly.
'Looking for something to do?' It's really fast. Shepard glanced at them, walked straight to the door, and pulled the door open.
"Don't ......" Before the nervous Filina could stop it, Shepard was already standing in front of the ugly voice of the villain outside.
It was an ugly man with half of his face slightly deformed, probably hit by something heavy but narrowly surviving, he was tall but uneven, his arms were extremely thick, and one leg was in a strange posture, which seemed to be sloping or broken.
The door was opened, but it was not the mature and seductive peasant woman, or the stinky boy of her family, but a tall, well-proportioned, strong man who was not easy to look at, and the handsome face that no one in the town could match, made Sataru suddenly feel the malice of the world.
He glared at Shepard viciously, "Little cub, where are you from?" ”
Shepard looked at him indifferently and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Sataru gasped and felt like slapping the other person in the face: "I'm Sataru!" The captain of the temple guard in Yanan Town, a close confidant of the Samba Lord of [Fire Town]! ”
'Oh, this guy is the captain of the Templar Guard? Looks like the lord planted it to spy on the mayor? Or is it all the way? ’
Shepard was expressionless: "I'm a wandering hunter, and I spent the night here last night. ”
"Phew." Sataru spat out disgusting thick phlegm, and said in a strange manner: "What wandering hunter, how come I don't know? What the? You slept here last night? Damn Filina, this little Bichi, can't help but steal a man's ...... so soon"
Boom!
The Earth Splitter doesn't care about the jackal's barking, Shepard's mentality is like this, he doesn't discriminate against other people's appearance, but the captain of the guard not only almost spits thick phlegm on him, but also curses there in an extremely disgusting tone, which makes him really unbearable.
So he directly raised his foot and kicked out, kicked the other party out of the door more than ten meters with one kick, and collapsed on the ground for half a day without standing up.
It looks like plans are about to change again. He sighed inwardly.
Stopping the two behind him from trying to escape, Shepard walked over to the captain of the guard, dragged Sataru to the ground like a dead dog, and walked in the direction of the entrance of the village.
In the early morning, the town of Yanan had just woken up, and such an exciting thing happened, and the townspeople with a conscience had long been dissatisfied with the mischievous Sataru, but the stranger who dragged him was unrecognized.
Asking each other and asking, the other young people who were rescued had already told their families what had happened, at least their families knew what had happened, and soon, Shepard's identity was known to everyone, and even his belief in a god who could give healing powers was spread.
Syllable.
Throwing Sataru to the ground, Shepard looked at Krama, who rushed to hear the news, and said calmly, "Krama, where is your mayor?" Please let him come, I have something I want to tell him. ”
Krama looked at Sataru like a dead dog in embarrassment, and then at Shepard, and stopped talking.
"It's okay, I'm not going to kill him, you go to the mayor." Shepard made a promise, and Krama ran to the mayor's house uneasily.
The families who had been saved by Shepard and the hope of the next generation of the family gradually gathered together, and several young people ran to Shepard to ask what was going on, Shepard shook his head and did not answer, just stared at Sataru on the ground silently, lest he hang up like this if he couldn't get up in one breath.
Everyone had no choice, and some of them knew that he lived in Hunter's house yesterday, so they all cleverly ran to Hunter's house to inquire.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a strong body followed Krama to this side, and Shepard knew at a glance that the mayor of Yanan Town had arrived.
The stout middle-aged man had a resolute temperament that was good at making decisions, he walked into the crowd, frowned at Shepard, and said coldly: "You are the stranger?" Although you saved the young people in the village, you can't hurt the people in the village at will! ”
Shepard sneered, suddenly put his hands in a prayer posture, and said loudly, "My lord! Please bless you in heaven and let me save the life in front of me! ”
With that, he spread his hands, and a ball of golden energy appeared in midair, and with a gentle push, he pushed the golden energy mass into Sataru's body, which had not yet taken in and out of breath on the ground.
The crowd of onlookers let out a cry of exclamation, and then, Sataru's body lying on the ground trembled violently, he coughed frantically, the coagulated blood clot was coughed out by him, and the golden light converged on his head, and the originally badly deformed head gradually returned to its original appearance.
By the time everything calmed down, Sataru's breathing was even and powerful, and his appearance was not bad when he returned to his original appearance, coupled with the temperament on his body that had been tempered by blood and fire, compared with the ugly slope before, it was like two people.
"This, what's going on......"
"Oh my God, look, look at Sataru, look at his face......"
"Miracles, miracles!"
Mayor Yanan stared at Shepard with an ugly face: "You specially asked Krama to call me over, just so that I can see this?" ”
With a smile on his face, Shepard raised his arms gracefully and easily, raised his head slightly, and said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen of Yanan, I have come here to spread the glory of my lord [Lord of Light, Tonatiu]! Will you believe in our Lord? The pious will be blessed by my Lord just as I am! ”
He looked at Mayor Yanan again and smiled: "Mr. Mayor, please give me your answer, are you willing to believe in my lord?" I think you already know what happened to them, my strength is not something you can resist, please believe that I came with good intentions, and besides, the reward that Lord Samba gave you, such as the power that can save your life at a critical moment, is more credible, right? ”
The last sentence hit Mayor Yanan like a heavy blow, and he looked at Shepard in shock for a long time before he hesitated: "...... Even though I am the mayor of the town, I also value the opinions of the townspeople. ”
Shepard laughed, "It's easy. A warm but not dazzling light emanated from him, and the majesty of the gods was gently released by him.
The crowd around them suddenly fell silent, and they looked at the handsome man in the center of the crowd who was shrouded in light, like a righteous man from heaven, the chosen messenger of God, who came here and made this place suddenly become sacred.
Shepard asked aloud again: "Townspeople of Yanan Town, tell me, are you willing to follow me, Pope Shepard of the [Church of Light], believe in my lord Tonatiu?!" ”
The crowd recovered from shock and panic and responded in a haphazard manner: "Yes! We do! ”
Shepard's face was solemn: "Since you are willing, then kneel!" ”
The crowd of onlookers knelt down in unison, and the other townspeople who came to see the excitement also subconsciously fell to the ground when they saw other movements, and Shepard was shrouded in light in the center of the crowd.
Mayor Yanan knelt down without exception, such a spectacular scene had great assimilation power, making the individual's resistance so fragile and shallow.
Shepard glanced at the crowd, kneeling on one knee and kneeling on both knees, distinguishing which were the family members who had been instructed by the young man he had brought back, and which were the ignorant townspeople.
But it didn't matter at this time, he attached a trace of divine power to his vocal cords, so that his voice could be filled with sacredness and affinity, and he said aloud words like revelation: "If you are willing, pray with me to my Lord over there!" ”
"My lord Tonatiu, you are the Lord of Light!"
"My lord Tonatiu, you are the Lord of Light!"
"You are the symbol of the sun and the moon, the ruler of light!"
"You are the symbol of the sun and the moon, the ruler of light!"
"Thou hast swept away filth and uncleanness with flame and blessed us with warmth and peace!"
"Thou hast swept away filth and uncleanness with flame and blessed us with warmth and peace!"
"Thy glory dispels ignorance and savagery, and let wisdom shine!"
"Thy glory dispels ignorance and savagery, and let wisdom shine!"
"My lord Tonateu, Lord of Light! and thy kingdom shall rise up in the heavens, and be with us and with the world. ”
"My lord Tonateu, Lord of Light! and thy kingdom shall rise up in the heavens, and be with us and with the world. ”
