Chapter 7: God's Providence
I feel like I'm in a very dangerous situation right now.
When entering the portal to the Temple of the Gods in the depths of the Sanctuary, Shure thought like this, well, his attitude was very serious, and he was even seriously considering, whether to go to the city guards to borrow a helmet strap on his head first, so as not to be smashed by the moonstone that fell from nowhere.
However, it's just a matter of thinking about it, the battle priest who serves the gods wears protective gear to worship the gods he serves, this kind of picture is already ridiculous just thinking about it, if you really dare to put it into action, it is estimated that the stone that hits the top of your head will become hundreds of times larger.
Walking into the Hall of Divine Joy in Pain, Shul had already refused Lisa's follow, and it was too early for Lisa to know many things, so let's talk about it when I had to tell her, I believe she would understand.
Letting go of his chaotic thoughts, Shur straightened his robe and walked slowly to the icon of the Holy Hall, which, as always, hung his head slightly with pity and love, looking down at the mortal world with affection.
"Heh......" Shur looked up at the appearance of the icon, the icon of the Holy Hall is the symbol of the gods, looking directly at the icon means looking directly at the gods, for mortals, this is a very rude behavior, especially for the priests, but Shuer does it quite naturally, and it will not make people feel abrupt at all. After staring at the icon for a moment, Shur exhaled lightly, smiled and shook his head, "Praise the Lord, may your body hang in the sky forever, may the light from the outside shine on the world forever, praise the Lord, thank you for your mercy and protection, your love for me, I will always remember it." ”
"What the hell did you encounter in Kaeya's dream? "Something amazing happened, it was obviously a stone icon, but it suddenly moved, carefully distinguished, I don't know when, the surrounding area is no longer a closed sacred hall, but a vast dark moon land, and the front is no longer a stone icon, but a real god, the real lord of the dark moon. Luna, dressed in a long black dress, was slowly falling from the base of the icon, "Was it a blow of something?
Hearing this cold voice again outside the dream made Xiuer feel an inexplicable feeling, maybe only this kind of voice is the most in line with Luna's identity, always cold and indifferent, but always in the cold, reflecting the wordless love.
"Mistress Luna, you...... I still can't act. Shuer was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, not respectful in his attitude, but like his usual smile, "After a long time, you have ...... in this regard Ahem, what a surprise to me. ”
"Huh?" Lord Luna's impression suddenly became full of danger, if mortals could see the faces of the gods, I am afraid that Shur would have been lucky enough to see the threatening eyes of the gods at this time, "What do you want to say?"
"Praise the moon without light, praise you. Despite the terrible threat, Shul looked calm and said with a smile, "Seriously, if you really want to hide it, you shouldn't end up responding to my 'I can't hear it'." ”
The god didn't respond, but waved his hand casually, causing a seat to appear next to him, and then sat down on it, as if he hadn't heard Shuer's words.
"Heh......" Shuer smiled happily and continued to himself, "It's a pity, in order not to worry me, or to let me get back quickly, you finally responded to my question, I am indeed very moved, but since you have already responded at the time, it is pointless to pretend that you don't know anything now, or do you think I will ignore such an obvious anomaly?"
Just like in a dream, Luna faced Shull with one hand on her cheek, and after a long silence, she said softly, "I thought you were here to apologize for playing tricks in front of me, didn't you?"
"No, I'm not going to plead guilty. Shure lowered his gaze, shook his head, and said, "Since I realized that you took the risk of separating a part of your consciousness lurking in my spiritual body and entering Lord Kaeya's dream adventure together for fear of falling into Lord Kaeya's dream, I am no longer ready to ask for sin, heh, the superficial act of asking for guilt is an insult to your pity." ”
"Well, yes, the desire to survive is really strong. Luna scoffed humanely, "If you say that, I wouldn't be able to punish you, would I?" ”
"Huh, hey?"
"You're not a forest spirit, you don't have to laugh so stupidly. ”
"Ahem, praise the Lord, the light of your wisdom shines on all things, and in your eyes there is no hiding from all mortal tricks, you ......"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Luna said angrily, "It's okay to escape the punishment if you want to, tell me how you know." ”
"Because...... The Lord is with me. Shure said, "Praise the Lord, you will always ......."
"Huh? ”
"Ahem, okay. Shur scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Actually, one of the purposes of the last dream I asked to see you was to verify my suspicions. ”
"I know, although I didn't understand it until later. Luna's voice actually gave people a feeling of gnashing of teeth, it seemed that the safety of His Excellency the Great Battle Priest was in danger, "I'm asking why you are asking for this verification, you won't tell me it's a coincidence." ”
"Of course not, I also had this kind of speculation in my last dream. Shure sighed, and finally explained honestly, "The point is that I haven't had any contact with other gods in so many dreams. ”
"Hmmm......"
"In my dreams, I have sensed the power of different gods countless times, but no matter how important the occasion, I have never been in contact with the will of other gods, not even by descending on the apostles, oh, I have been in contact with Pavatiga many times, not to mention that in such an important situation in the dream world, theoretically speaking, I should have had many chances, but not once. I can feel that this is not deliberate, but ...... It's as if fate deliberately avoided a similar situation. ”
"Later, I slowly figured out that the dream took the initiative to avoid similar situations, probably because Lord Kaeya and the gods are both gods, and they can't simulate their will in the dream, which is the natural reaction of the dream to ensure self-consistency. ”
"Originally, I was more and more sure of my judgment, but in the dream when I destroyed your body, I subconsciously contacted you, hoping that you would get out in time, and you ...... Rejected me. Speaking of this, Shuer still sighed a little gloomily, "This makes me doubtful, not doubting my previous judgment, but doubting ...... Your status. ”
"So you chose to test me?"
"Yes, because I know. Shure smiled and uttered the phrase he used to say in his last dream, "The Lord is with me." ”
