There is no such symptom with divine wine, but the taste is so enjoyable that some people subjectively do not want to give it up.
The sacred wine is a taboo for Lily, but for the Soma clan, and even for many people... they are not very resistant to it.
Is real life beautiful?
Only the strong are qualified to talk about what a hero is and what a dream is. There are too many people in Orario who come with the idea of becoming a hero, but after ten years of hard work, they can't even meet the basic attribute requirements for promotion to level 1, and they don't even have the conditions to find a powerful monster to fight with.
Should we tell people like this that being addicted to alcohol is wrong, and that they should muster up their courage and face reality bravely... before they are beaten by monsters in the dungeon?
Hearing about others getting promoted every six months or a year, compared to yourself, you don’t even have the qualifications to find a great cause?
Inexplicably, Lily somewhat agreed with Soma's idea. For those who were immersed in the magic of the divine wine, the divine wine was a poison that enchanted them, but for those who were willing to drink the divine wine when they were sober, the divine wine was the meaning of their existence.
Including Lily herself.
——It’s not like anyone forced her to drink the divine wine.
That was because the clan had achieved certain results in its development, and the leader rewarded everyone with the divine wine, including giving a glass to Lily at that time.
Although Lily was only six years old at that time, she was not unaware of the harm of the divine wine.
She knew why she could only beg on the street. It was because of her irresponsible parents who, in order to drink one more glass of the magic wine, did not care about her life or death, and even their own life or death.
As expected, the parents died during the adventure in the dungeon.
Although she knew the magic power of the divine wine, when the divine wine fell into her hands, her first thought was to taste it.
Chapter 75 Action
There is no money to make the divine wine popular to the extent that all the stupid clan members can adapt to it.
We no longer brew the sacred wine, but there is no way to be sure whether that is really good for the children.
This was Su Mo's true thought, and Lily couldn't find any fault with it.
But Lily was obviously not satisfied with this result.
Lily took a deep breath and then asked, "I have no problem with what you did, but even so... apart from these two most extreme measures, there are always some actions you can take, right?"
If Su Mo really treats his clan as non-existent, then it is normal for him to ignore them.
But it’s not that he doesn’t value his family. He has thought of some solutions, but he has not taken any action. This is too abnormal.
Su Mo looked at Lily in confusion and said, "Who said I didn't take any action?"
Lily thought to herself, you are the supreme god of your clan, if you had taken action, would your clan be in such a mess now?
Thinking this in her heart, it was impossible to say so. Lily asked back: "Excuse me, what exactly did you do?"
Allow the leader to do whatever he wants and oppress his fellow clan members without stopping them? Manage the clan according to your own wishes and reward and punish as you please?
As long as you, Soma, do something, it won't be completely useless.
Su Mo said: "How do you think you survived as a child?"
Lily was shocked: "What do you mean?"
Su Mo asked back: "Who took care of you when you were young?"
Lily opened her mouth. Her parents were such a terrible couple that they had never fulfilled their parental responsibilities at all. Ever since she could remember, her parents had been exploiting her for begging.
Lily also wondered how she survived when she was younger and had no memory, and how she was raised by her parents.
Lily thought it was impossible.
She was born not long ago, and she could already look for milk? She could survive on her own.
Whenever she thought of this question, Lily always regarded it as a miracle. No matter how carefully she looked into it, she couldn't find the answer from her memory.
Is it because of God’s care?
Lily instinctively refuted, and found some evidence from her memory, saying, "When I was a kid, I was begging on the street."
"Even earlier." Su Mo said.
"...I still remember that I was so skinny that I barely managed to survive."
Su Mo said calmly: "You are a family with blood relationship. Even if I am your God, I have no right to interfere with what you do."
Su Mo added in his mind that persuasion was the limit of what he could do. If the members of the clan really didn't listen, how could he interfere further?
Lily added in her heart, could it be that her own God really had advised her parents? But he did so in a way that normal people couldn't understand?
"In fact, it was because of that experience that you were able to maintain your self-esteem after getting rid of your addiction to the divine wine, wasn't it?" Su Mo said, "If I forcibly interfered and made your childhood a little happier, who can say for sure whether you would continue to be addicted to the divine wine?"
Lily thought, but isn’t this just shooting the arrows first and then drawing the target?
Attributing her current situation to the sufferings of the past? Does she still need to be grateful?
Thinking of this, Lily sighed again.
Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, this is a very common way of thinking? The gods' thinking is more complex than that of humans, and they can see further?
If the gods really think so, their followers will naturally have no choice but to accept it.
Needless to say, it is human beings' luck to meet a god who thinks this way. Regardless of the form, as long as they have such a heart, at least things will not get too bad.
But the problem is...
Lily said suspiciously: "But... when my parents died..."
When talking about the death of her parents, Lily did not feel too much sadness in her heart. If one could sympathize with the parents who let a child under three years old beg for food, then he was a saint.
Su Mo looked at Lily in confusion and asked, "You're asking me about this topic?"
Lily had a question mark on her face.
Su Mo asked back, "That's what I wanted to ask. After your parents died, I brought you back to my room. For a while, you kept coming to my room, but after drinking the magic wine, you never came again."
Lily: "..."
Is this true?
The dwarf girl moved her lips and searched her memory, but found that she had no impression of it at all.
Su Qing whispered to Artemis: "The human brain is amazing, isn't it?"
"……what happened?"
Artemis asked quietly, and Soma and Lily pricked up their ears to listen.
Su Qing shrugged and said, "After becoming addicted to the divine wine, he felt sorry for the gods who took care of him, so he instinctively forgot his past memories."
Some had suffered a severe mental blow, some had completely lost their memory, so where did Lily end up?
Then, Su Qing added: "However, I instinctively forgot that memory, and then regarded the person I felt sorry for as the perpetrator. This situation should not be common anywhere."
In most cases, it’s just because of guilt that one instinctively doesn’t want to see the other person.
Su Qing guessed that Lily's fondness for Su Mo was most likely due to this forgotten memory.
Somo's control over his own clan is really strong. The other members of the clan respect Somo because they desire the divine wine, want to stay in Somo's clan forever, and can understand the harm that Somo's indifference will do to the clan.
But this didn't make sense to Lily. She had always planned to leave the Soma clan, but she still used honorifics to address Soma. This was very strange.
Lily opened her mouth.
Does she care about the lives of other people in the family?
of course not.
As a member of the original protagonist group, Lily naturally possesses traits such as kindness and repaying evil with kindness.
But that won’t show up now.
After escaping from the sea of suffering, being generous to those who once bullied you is a sign of vision and kindness.
He has not yet escaped from the sea of suffering, and has been badly bullied by his own clan members, but he still cares about the life and death of those who bully him. He is truly a rare animal, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a saint or a Buddha. Lily has not yet reached this level.
Asking Su Mo about his opinion on his clan was essentially her way of seeking an answer to her own treatment.
Now...you tell her that the reason she was able to live until now is entirely because of God's care?
Lily thought, is this some new trick? But there is no need to go to such a big trouble to deceive her.
Sensing Lily's doubt, Su Qing waved her fingers and said with a smile, "Do you want me to help you remember?"
Things that were once engraved in the mind have suddenly been forgotten. However, anything that exists will leave traces. It is not difficult to make those memories emerge along the traces in the brain.
Su Mo sighed secretly.
This is not something an adventurer would use.
He was not stupid. He thought about the several large pantheons in the heavens that rarely came down to the mortal world. He also thought that the Indian pantheon did not even have the time to be bored... There were actually quite a few possibilities, but most of them were within that framework.
Su Mo pondered for a moment.
We have been friends for billions of years, how could you possibly harm me?
So I chose to leave it alone and pretend that I didn't know. Since my fellow God friends didn't invite me, there was no need for me to get involved.
It would be better for him to just focus on his own clan's affairs. If he were to force himself to get involved, he might not be a help but could become a burden.
Lily hesitated again and again, but finally refused Su Qing's help. She didn't want to recall the bad memory that she had long forgotten, but she said that she reluctantly believed Su Qing's words.
Lily then asked, "I was adopted by a group of elderly couples, and not long after, the store was smashed by the people of the clan..."
Su Mo asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with me?"
Let me be honest, you can't blame me, Soma, for the things that Soma's family has done.
Lily's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed, "Since then, I have been working hard to make money, regardless of how my companions in the clan abuse me.
No matter how they beat me, I never gave in and saved all the money I earned. "
"Just to be able to break away from the clan one day."
As she spoke, Lily looked at Su Mo sincerely.
Su Mo nodded slightly, and then asked with some doubt: "If you want to leave your family... can't you just come to me directly?"
