Under the hazy moonlight, the woods are densely covered with trees.
In the hut where Orion lived, Ogden wiped the silver powder on his sword.
His hunting dog, on a leash, lay lazily on the doorway.
"It's all over, Orton." Ogden stared at the newly forged sword and said to himself: "Your brother has been completely freed."
Then he fell into a long silence.
Orion Ogden, whose real name was Ulton, was sitting on the bed. His eyes were blank and he didn't know where he was looking.
"But you are still a guilty person." Ogden murmured. "You took the ax and killed your brother with your own hands. That was your biological brother. You deserve to go to hell."
He covered his face with his hands and sobbed silently.
"Lord, my fault is too serious, I am guilty." Ogden faced the icon, his voice hoarse, "Remember, Lord in heaven, my wife passed away, I just want to give her a girl who can go to Mass three times. Funeral. My brother, who loves gambling, actually wanted to steal the money I paid to bury her. But Lord, even so, I shouldn't have done it. The impulsive devil bewitched me... Lord, I killed I am a sinner after losing my loved ones."
A former knight, Ogden closed his eyes and repented, tears falling down drop by drop.
A young man wearing a tunica suddenly appeared outside the door.
He saw a repentant Ogden.
"What are you repenting for?" Chen Yi asked.
"Is it you?" Ogden was startled. He had no idea when Chen Yi appeared outside the door, and the hunting dog didn't notice him.
Then, Ogden's eyebrows shook with anger, his voice was low, and he suppressed his panic and said: "When did you come, did you hear it?"
Chen Yi nodded.
"You came here, it seems you discovered me." Ogden took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Yes, the ghost you met is my brother."
Chen Yi's eyes fell on the short ax at his waist, and he said calmly: "I saw that your ax was stained with blood."
Ogden quickly looked down and saw that his hatchet was clearly clean.
"Not now, but in the past." Chen Yi said.
"...Who are you? You are pretending to be a ghost here." Ogden's voice almost trembled, "Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized how stupid the latter question was. He was the ghost's brother. Needless to say, this must be the reason why the young man in front of him came here.
"A... true believer." Chen Yi said casually, and then smiled, "The Lord said that there is a soul waiting for forgiveness hiding here."
Ogden was stunned. He moved his neck and looked at the icon. After a while, he looked back at Chen Yi.
"...He...what else did he say..." Ogden gripped the sword tightly, "What did he want you to do?"
Chen Yi did not answer, but asked: "How long have you been on the run after killing your relatives? You pray every day, don't you?"
Ogden swallowed and nodded.
"Are you guilty? Has anyone ever convicted you?" Chen Yi continued to ask.
"...No one has ever judged. My lord has acquitted me because my brother broke into my house and attempted to desecrate the sacred burial..." Ogdennu said while moving his lips, and he became emotional. , "But, my soul is guilty. I killed my own brother. I committed one of the biggest crimes in the scriptures. My soul is guilty!"
"So you came here incognito, praying and repenting every day and night." Chen Yi said in a gentle tone.
"My sin is too heavy, too heavy. Lord, no amount of repentance can undo it!" Ogden's eyes were red, and his hand grasped the sword helplessly.
Chen Yi stared at him.
"Why do you feel guilty?"
Ogden squeezed his eyes and spoke slowly: "I did the evil act of killing my relatives...I mean, I must be guilty. My lord took pity on me, and he didn't do it because of past friendship. Convict me... I am guilty of the flesh and guilty of my soul.”
"No, the world has judged your body," Chen Yi said, "it is sinless."
Ogden was startled for a moment, and then he said in a trembling voice: "But my soul is still guilty for committing such evil deeds...Have you never read the scriptures and don't know that killing your relatives is a great crime?" Crime?!"
"In that case, tell me," Chen Yi stared into his gray eyes and asked softly: "Who defines the sin of the soul? Is it you?"
Ogden's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "How could it be me? Of course, of course it's the Lord!"
"Then why do you think your soul is guilty?!"
The words fell on my ears.
Ogden's heart felt as if he had been hit hard, and he was completely stunned.
"You are a devout true believer, have you defined the sin of your soul?" Chen Yi continued to ask.
Ogden's breathing suddenly stagnated for a long time before he shuddered and said: "No, no, only the Lord."
Chen Yi glanced at him, at the soul.
"Return to the body what is physical, and return to soul what is soul." Chen Yi said softly.
"...What do you mean, sir, what do you mean?!" Ogden looked at Chen Yi, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Leave the sins of your body to the judgment of the world," Chen Yi looked directly into his eyes, raised his hand, making a circle gesture, with his fingertips pointing upward: "And the sins of your soul must be handed over to the Lord."
Ogden couldn't hold the long sword in his hand.
Every hair on his weathered beard shrank fiercely.
"Lord, Lord above all!" Ogden groaned, tears welling up in his eyes.
Chen Yi still stared at him, through his body, staring at the trembling soul.
That is a sinless soul.
"Then now, you have handed over the sins of your soul to the Lord." Chen Yi raised his hand, made a ring salute, lightly tapped Ogden's forehead, and said slowly, "He said you are not guilty."
The long sword in Ogden's hand clattered to the ground.
Unable to stand any longer, he fell to the floor holding on to the door frame and cried like a child.
The hunting dog was awakened. It looked at Chen Yi and could not see any malice in the young man. It turned its head, looked at its master again, walked to Ogden, and gently licked the latter's tears.
Chen Yi looked calmly at the crying Orion, the former knight.
"Lord, please have mercy..." Ogden burst into tears.
"You will go through many twists and turns in this life." Chen Yi looked at his fate.
Ogden looked up at him with tears on his face.
"Where do you want me to go?"
"Silver Cana, the Lord's Holy Land." Chen Yi paused, "Your destiny lies there."
Ogden clasped his hands together and clenched them tightly. He trembled: "Lord, He is so forgiving. How should I repay the Lord? Please tell me."
There were long tears on the hunter's cheeks.
"No, no need."
Ogden looked at Chen Yi in disbelief.
“For the highway you dedicate to the Lord, the Lord dedicates to you.”
