History Is Composed of Countless Individuals; the "Spirit-Refined" Elixir: Ice Soul Condensation Elixir

"As for the accusations and scorn directed at her by the public at the time, even by some officials, which ultimately led to her conviction and burning in Rouen..."

The old man slowly shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.

"We cannot use modern ideas and complete information to harshly judge ordinary people from centuries ago, who lived amid war, panic, religious fervor, and deliberate propaganda and misinformation from hostile forces."

"People are always easily deceived, incited, and blinded by the fears and interests before their eyes."

"That is a weakness of human nature, and also a tragedy of history."

"But neither can we remember only those who were deceived and incited into throwing stones at her and cursing her loudly, then use that to completely deny that era and everyone in it!"

"When Jeanne fought, how many peasants, soldiers, and minor nobles sincerely followed her, believing she was a messenger sent by God to save Gaul?"

"After she was captured, how many worried for her Fate, prayed for her, or even tried to help her?"

"After she was burned at the stake, were there truly no people who sighed for her, wept in secret, and passed down her story from mouth to mouth, ultimately restoring her reputation and having her canonized as a Saintess?"

The old man looked at him and said earnestly:

"History is composed of countless individuals. There is Radiance, and there are shadows."

"Jeanne's story held betrayal and indifference, but also loyalty, devotion, and centuries of remembrance and reverence."

"We cannot deny the profound bond between an entire people and her because of the mistakes of some, much less conclude that this country was fundamentally 'unworthy' of being saved."

"So, back to your question: if she truly is that Jeanne, why would she still save us?"
