Chapter 43 I gave up on you
Yes, Shuer has repeated the same dream as the first time. It is precisely for this reason that after waking up this time, he was able to face everything so skillfully, even know everyone's behavior well, and be prepared in advance. Only when facing a certain wild animal, because that guy was too difficult to predict, the pranks he had when he first met were different, so Shuer was in trouble every time. He had already known what others wanted to say and do what would change according to his attitude.
There was a fierce debate with Judy, agitated with Lisa for mission arrangements, and a lot of harm to Saffle to keep them away. He fought with Ferres for the details of the ceremony, and even... he mobilized the Brown Star Fleet to erase the three countries and their citizens forever from the map of Pavatiga.
Try step by step, fall again and again, and every failure means that the world in the dream of Lord Kaiya is completely destroyed, and Shuer steps forward along the destroyed world, trying hard to find slim hope.
How many times has the dream been repeated? Shuer can't remember it. How many worlds have been destroyed? Shuer is too lazy to calculate. How many times has he pushed the person he loved into the abyss with his own hands? Shuer didn't even dare to count. He tried his best again and again, but he gained despair again and again. The feeling of frustration and guilt continues to accumulate, making Shuer's shoulders heavier and heavier.
It's really tiring. There are no comrades, no support, and even no one to share the mood and psychological pressure. No one can tell anything to say. Every time I can only fight alone. It's meaningless to tell the people around me. It's not a good idea to do anything except make them at a loss. Instead of letting them end up in confusion and anxiety, it's better to bear it alone. At least, Shuer believes that his ability to bear is a little stronger than the girls.
Yes, as Lord Luna said, Shul is not a fragile person. In fact, his psychological quality is amazing. If it were someone else, after repeating the same nightmare dozens of times, he probably had a mental breakdown due to despair. No matter what Shul thought in his heart, at least he could face every familiar face with a smile on the surface. Just the smile on his face was worthy of Lord Luna's praise.
But no matter how strong the psychological quality is, there is still a limit. Once the limit is broken, it is often more intense than ordinary people's reactions, just like once a dam filled with water collapses, the destructive power often increases exponentially. Obviously, Shuer has reached the brink of collapse. Even if he walks out of his dream, his inner pressure cannot be relieved. The dam filled with water is facing the danger of collapse at any time, so...
"So, do you want to see me at the first time?" The goddess was very satisfied with Shur's decision. Faith is the spiritual sustenance of mortals, especially for priests. When needed most, seeking spiritual comfort from faith is the choice that a priest should have. Perhaps when Shur came, he did not intend to tell the truth, but he just wanted to meet the most important god for him, but Luna did obviously better than he thought. She could see through the pain and depression in his heart at a glance. "I just happened to be very idle now, and I am very interested in listening to the stories in your dreams."
"My pleasure."
At some point, Shur had already sat next to Lord Luna, skillfully filling the two of them with tea cups, tea leaves from their hometown, brewing methods from their hometown, and the goddess who made her rebirth in Pavatiga in front of her. All of this made Shur's mood gradually calm down, and he was talking about his dream experiences like telling other people's stories.
"Actually, you know how to withdraw from Kaia's dream." Shur became more and more relaxed as he spoke. The goddess did not interrupt him, but just held the teacup and listened quietly. Until Shur's statement or venting temporarily stopped, she asked in a cold voice, "When you can't hold on, why not withdraw in time?"
"I have my responsibility. If I haven't found the answer, how could I withdraw at will? Ha, admit failure at will? I don't have this kind of hobby." Shuer leaned on the back of the chair with his whole body relaxed, and said leisurely, "And I don't feel that I can't hold on. After all, whether it's a dream or a reality, you will always be with me, right?"
"Yes, I'm with you, but..." There was a little more teasing in the goddess's voice, "But what did you do to me in your dream?"
Shuer's movement suddenly froze, and the smile that had just begun to appear frozen on his face.
"You underestimate our connection too much, Sul." Luna said lightly, "You are my apostle, and this is my holy land. Although I cannot see your thoughts directly like spiritual contact, at least I can feel your emotions."
Shuer looked a little embarrassed and blocked his sight with a teacup.
"Since you came in, I had already felt that you came to see me with the idea of atonement, and your heart was full of apology." Although Shure couldn't see his appearance, he could feel Lord Luna's gaze converging on his face. "So I didn't let you get up just now. If this could make you feel better, I wouldn't mind. But even the gods, I'm curious. I really want to know what makes you feel so guilty that even the oracles can make up at will?"
"Ha, ha." When Shuer's eyes blew and laughed dryly after talking about his feat.
"You just woke up from your dream and didn't have time to do anything worth apologizing for. Oh, you can't feel guilty because you slept for too long." The goddess' tone was very relaxed, but the words said were not at all. "The only explanation is that you did something you thought you were unforgivable in your dream and wanted to ask for my forgiveness. So... what did you do?"
It sounds ridiculous, it is just a dream act. Who will be responsible for the behavior in the dream? However, for the priests, this kind of thing is not ridiculous at all.
A qualified priest must have a heartfelt respect and worship of the gods, and always implement this faith from the consciousness to the behavior. Therefore, even in a dream, the priest cannot do anything that would insult the gods, otherwise this faith will be cast a shadow.
Of course, the behavior in the dream cannot be known by others, so no matter what you do in the dream, it will not be condemned. Unfortunately, faith cannot be deceived by itself. Unless you cannot remember the dream, the priests themselves know in their hearts whether they have blasphemed the gods.
