Chapter 242: The Day of Death, the Time of Sanctification
"Heh, you wait to see the show." Shen Yan whispered to Erebes.
"What's the show?" Erebeth looked at the dead Vanswick, his neck folded into a strange shape.
Is this a good show? It's a little unbearable......
This matter is really full of twists and turns, and the truth has not been revealed to the world until the last moment. Seeing that even the judge was about to help him overturn the case, Vanswick died, without the slightest defense.
The guard who succeeded in the sneak attack had already put life and death on the line, but after waiting for a long time, he only saw the two whispers above, and he didn't mean to kill him at all. The guards hesitated, but the desire to survive prevailed.
He jumped off the gallows and fled in the direction of the Blue Palace.
Just now, when Shen Yan pulled Erebes, many people saw it, and they couldn't help but think about it...... I heard that Shen Yan is a sister control? Did he do it on purpose? Whisper.
Shen Yan looked at Erebeth with a dark face, "My good reputation has been ruined by you. β
Erebeth poked him in a lightning bolt, "Don't tell jokes on this occasion...... Hey?! β
Erebeth turned her head sharply to look at the still hanging corpse of Vanswick, among the people present, she was the second strongest person to sense the power of light, and the first in line was Shen Yan, who came from his bloodline.
Erebeth felt a bright force that was evolving and exploding within the corpse. "What's that?"
"Don't ask, I don't know if I ask again, keep looking." Shen Yan dragged her towards the roof on one side, "A big guy will appear in a while, let's hide away and don't wait to see us." β
*****
At this time, ordinary people also discovered Vanswick's anomaly.
Because the power of light has penetrated from the skin from the inside out, although it is a milky white light, it has replaced the torch as the strongest light source on the scene! Now, everyone knows that something is wrong.
"Does anyone want to raise sinners?" Someone roared angrily.
Some of the onlookers were joining in the fun, but others genuinely believed Nasher's propaganda and thought Vanswick was the sinner who betrayed Neverwinter! So I was so angry when I saw this scene! They rushed forward, throwing things at Vanswick, trying to destroy the corpses (so that they wouldn't be able to resurrect with magic)!
Shen Yan looked still indifferent.
"It's not a resurrection." Erebeth was more professional than the average person, and she felt that the light force was not directed to repair the flesh, but to shrink inward, more like ...... Sublimate the soul!?
After a little speculation about that incident, even Erebeth was stunned!
"That can't be, it's Vanswijk? How could it be ......"
"Anything is possible!" Shen Yan laughed heartily - like a slap in the face of a certain big guy!
As he said before, charity is made!
Vanswick in history was as stupid and sweet as it is now, even as kind as stupid! That's because he was taken by Archbishop Linton since he was a child, taught by himself, and never left the small circle of the church.
Van Sveck himself is well-qualified, intelligent and studious, and in the name of the archbishop's own disciple, who will let him come into contact with the dark side of society?
If Shen Yan expects to be able to train him into an elite agent with a short period of contact, to the extent that he can see through Deszel's disguise...... It's just wishful thinking! It's simply impossible!
Did Deszel just deceive Van Swijk alone? No! He teased all the higher-ups of the entire Neverwinter!
During his disguise, he was like a fish in water at the top level, and everyone regarded him as an elderly man with high morality, and he respected him abnormally! He couldn't even get inside the Temple of Heim, and no one could recognize him for what he really was!
Now everyone is putting the blame on Vanswijk, as if they had been deceived into believing Vanswijk too much......
Since Shen Yan can't make up for Vanswijk's "shortcomings", he can only find a way from his strengths. What are Vanswick's strengths?
Kind, genuine, helpful, and completely heartfelt!
Give him the right environment, and he'll be the next Nightingale.
Historically, Vanswijk had no chances, no performance, and was left with the name of a fool. But now, Shen Yan pointed out a clear way for him to do charity!
And to do the ultimate charity!
How difficult is it to save lives and distribute food in plague-ridden areas? People who haven't done it can't imagine it! Not only the plague, but the robbers who rushed out of the alleys he encountered almost every day, and he was stabbed several times in his body; And those who were dying of hunger, when he approached, pounced on him like wild beasts, grabbed him by the arm, and bit ...... The average person can't hold on for a week, but Vanswick does it for almost two hundred days.
It was exactly the time from the spread of the plague to the end.
More than two thousand tons of grain were distributed from him, and countless people were alive...... Half of the city's population has been helped directly and indirectly by him!
If this is not the highest feat, what is the highest good?
In this day and age, his good deeds are simply unmatched!
*****
The intoxicating scent fills the air.
Colorful light fell from the gloomy ceiling and merged with the white light on Vanswick's body, reflecting the heavens and the earth.
There was a faint sound of "holy, holy" in the space, and transparent angels flew over the city, saluting Vanswick's corpse.
Vanswick's soul composed of white light finally broke away from his body and hung above his "corpse", looking down at his dead self with some blankness.
Vanswick, with the here and now, the sanctification of the soul!
It is a great irony for Neverwinter and the group of people in front of him to become a saint after his death, a sinner who was sentenced to be hanged by the laws and people of Neverwinter...... People in this era have not yet developed to the point where they are like Internet trolls in the cartography room, where it is dark when their eyes are closed, and the basic bottom line is still there.
They dare to question the judges, they dare to question the law.
But in the face of the recognition of Vanswick by God and heaven and earth, they finally broke the last bit of luck and guessed that they had hanged an innocent, even a good man in the form of a saint...... If you even question heaven and earth, then why can't you go to heaven, this world can't tolerate you!
What's more, those people who Vanswick had helped finally mustered up the courage to see the wind change and speculated, after all, there were more people speaking for him, and quickly drowned out Nasher's spies who had been swaying the direction of public opinion.
"You're amazing." Erebeth looked at Shen Yan deeply, and the excitement in his eyes was overflowing! Everyone thinks that Vanswick is a good man with good rewards, but Erebes knows that everything is in the hands of Shen Yan - he created a saint alive!
"Wait, it's not over yet." Shen Yan said with a smile, and by the way, he dragged Sister A back a distance.
*****
Sure enough, just as the loud chant reached its climax, a one-eyed, one-armed old warrior appeared in front of Vanswick and stretched out his hand towards the light-filled soul.
The crowd at the scene let out a neat exclamation - Tyr descend!
Yes, Tyr couldn't sit still...... Soul sanctification is a special state, and strength is scum, but plane affinity has reached its peak! This kind of soul is excellent in the kingdom of God - just like the elven mother tree planted in the elven kingdom, anyone who comes to visit it, and the air is good.
No matter how much Vanswick is also his believer, even if Tiel's previous idea was to let Vanswick continue to "be tested" after his death, but now that idea has long been thrown out of the sky!
However, just as he stretched out his hand, an elf suddenly appeared, and he only took one step before he stopped between Tyr and Vanswick. "Tyr, this soul is mine, you...... Unworthy! β
"Corellon!"
"Father!"
Tyre and Vanswijk lost their voices at the same time.
The main god of the elves, Corellon, the father of all elves, the god of races. For Vanswick, it's a question of who should I choose?
"Come with me, kid, abandon that hypocritical fellow, and I will teach you to start a new life anewβin the spirit way." Corellon said kindly to Vanswick.
As the main god of one of the largest races in the entire multiverse, he was even tired of seeing the true gods, and he really didn't need to personally take in a spirit who happened to be a saint.
However, if someone teaches the magic archer profession to the entire race without reservation, enhancing the elven heritage, it is equivalent to Kreilon owing him a great favor! Now Shen Yan made a "small request" from the town, and the sleepy dragon had to come in person even if he was lazy and at home...... If you don't come, someone will say, "Think about what you did to Bahamut in the first place."
I'll go...... How could there be such a nasty elf!
I regret creating the Elven race!
"He is my believer, and he deserves to go to the kingdom of my God!" Tyr's hair stood on end, angrily stopping the Sleepy Dragon. "Fall, choose, redeem! That's my path! Do you have any comments on my path? Genie! β
"Make a mistake?" Corellon scoffed, this statement was okay to fool mortals, but it was a joke to tell it in front of the gods. Because Vanswick is a random book in their eyes! He knew everything Vanswijk had been through, and he knew the causes and consequences of the canonization of souls.
"You tell me, what mistake can an elf who has been locked up in a temple since childhood? His only mistake was to be stupid and to trust the old fellow named Linton, but does it matter? He is not yet two hundred years old, and he is still a child! β
Shen Yan and Erebeth shook their bodies and almost didn't fall off the roof...... What a powerful reason!
However, this also attracted Corellon's attention, and his gaze looked at the past and present lives of the two people. Shen Yan's share is chaotic, but there are still traces of those belonging to Erebes.
"Sure enough," Corellon sneered, "it's not a coincidence at all, I don't know what your plans are, but these people are all in your calculations!" I'm afraid that his so-called mistakes are also specifically misled by you...... Oh, God of justice, what justice!
I just want to ask one question now, Tyr, Vanswick are elves, and the two over there are also elves, all in your calculations. Come on, tell me, do you have anything to think of elves? β
