"The Eternal Guards in the dormitory all wear the same golden gloves as Ning Lu, which are said to keep evil spirits and curses at bay, not to mention Venom Powder. They dragged the leper to a corner of the dormitory like a bag of mud, keeping the beast and the silver man in the cage within each other's sight, and two guards carried in something similar to an iron frame, which was all made of cast iron, and the lower body was like a mummy enclosed with iron plates and impermeable, and the upper body was attached to the parts of the human body to form a very small cage, and the person imprisoned in it was like entering a coffin, except that the arms could be stretched out, but the head and the rest of the body could not move。 ”

"The moment a person is locked in, the iron door is closed, and the needles inside are deeply pierced into the flesh, and the lower half of the person's body will be soaked in his own blood, until he dies in this torture instrument due to excessive blood loss. But when the Eternal Guard stuffed the silver man into the iron frame, the latter did not show the slightest expression of pain, and it seemed that Ning Lu had ordered his men to remove the long spikes from the torture instrument before carrying it, so that the leper would not die of blood loss rather than being burned at the stake. The silver man mooed and howled inside, trying to bite the guard's fingers, but his teeth gnawed at the gold. At this point, I really understood more and more why the men, women, and children could bear to watch a witch or some other abomination being burned alive, because the beast was moaning and moaning in an iron cage in the skin of a three-and-a-half-year-old child, and bleeding profusely. ”

Although the silver man had no face, when I saw the straw and firewood sticks piled higher and higher around me, I could clearly discern the terrifying expression dangling on the plane that was supposed to be his face. The Eternal Guard's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long to finish, and the leader of them held a torch, but hesitated, and he glanced back at Ning Lu with a pleading expression. I know the hesitation of the leader, the prince's chamber in Xiba is the most luxurious palace in Shushan City after the royal palace, and now it is here, in the prince's dormitory, burning a leper to death, and burning the whole temple with it, which no dynasty or generation has ever heard of. Ning Lu glared angrily at the leading guard with the torch, who immediately threw the torch into the pyre, and the other guard poured oil on the iron woman's rack, and in a few moments, the tongue of fire rushed to the top of the high hall, and the silver man was swallowed by the flames, and he could only hear his crazy howl inside, and the voice was not a human voice at all. ”

"As for the rest of the story, I can't describe it to you, Sether, for the same reasons I told you before. Anyway, when the silver man no longer made any noise from the iron frame, and most of the temple was burned, Nimrod cut down the iron fence and chains, and released Siba from the cage, and held him in his arms. I followed the father and son, and the three of us escaped from the smoke of the fire, by which time more than half of the Prince's bedchamber had been burned down. As soon as we reached the open space in front of the palace, the Prince's dormitory collapsed with a deafening thunderclap. The entire city of Shushan came out to watch and sigh at the scene in front of them, whether it was a nobleman or a lowly slave, the collapsed building was like a huge monster dying in the flames, wisps of black smoke billowing up and tumbling into the dark night. Those who heard the sound wept, some prayed, and some groaned. Many people ventured into the dangerous ruins to pick up something of value, but never to return from the flames, and were buried forever in the fire along with the lepers. It's ridiculous that even wild dogs and night beasts don't get close, but humans dare to surround and try to enter!"

"I looked around, and the only people who felt relieved were me and Ninglu, the two of us who seemed to have been fished out of deep water. By the light of the fire, we looked at the beast's face, and saw that Siba's soul had finally returned to his eyes, and thankfully, though he was as hideous and ugly as yesterday, my son had returned! Then, drenched in sweat and covered in water, his eyes were now the real Siba, the eyes of men, closed. ”

"This whole thing has been processed and described by many people as a terrifying legend circulating in Shushan City. The magnificent ancient city, which was the capital of the Cushites, had long since disappeared under the iron hooves and butcher's knives of the enemy a thousand years ago, but the event has been forever recorded by the pen and ink of paper, and I have seen different versions of the story in the works of poets, families, dramatists, and bards throughout the ages. As I look down at Nimrod's grave and re-step on the ruins of Shushan, which has been hidden by history and dust, I can remember that it was in this land, for the soul of my son Siba, that we burned the abominable sorcerer, the filthy leper 'Silver Man', and that the sins and lusts of this land were purified in the fire, and we burned all abominations and fought a terrible struggle against the devil and his minions for a living, innocent soul.

"A victory worth celebrating. Sether looked at Isis's blindness and whispered.

"Do you think this is a victory worth celebrating?" she immediately retorted, then shook her head repeatedly, "If this is a victory, then it is an extremely short, insignificant victory." Because as a human being, you should not take it lightly for a single day in this world, Sether, you have read the Book of Grace, what does it say?"

"'Be sober, keep watch, for your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, marching about in search of whom he may devour,'" Sether said of the Book of James, "All mankind, until they have a right relationship with the King of eternity, live in the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of this life." Even death doesn't set humanity free, that's why you say the victory was short-lived, Isis. Can you tell me what happened next?"

"I see in you the great mercy and grace of the King of kings, who has given you worldly beauty, wealth, and power, and such deep spiritual insight. Isis did not answer, but frowned, his face both envious and jealous.

"Doesn't he give it to you as well, Isis?" asked Sether softly, "is not His grace filled with every human being? the deserving and the undeserving, the righteous and the sinner, the good and the wicked—what human being in this world has dared to boast since he was born that he has never received the love of the King of Eternity? There is no such person, for to live in this sunlight is grace." ”
