Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 403: Treasure House of Memory
Duan Mingyuan has always advocated solving problems at the source.

Judging from the information he has received so far, the source points to the "Void Demon" mentioned by the Church of Embers. The hatred between the church and the wizards has given the demon room to plot.

But from another perspective, the Church of Embers is the civilization closest to the Void Demons.

Human beings’ original concept of “cocoon” came from the destroyed Embers Empire. The survivors of the empire believed that it was demons that destroyed their homes, and the concept of void demons was born from this.

For devout believers of the Sun King, the only thing that can make them afraid is the darkness that even the Sun King's light cannot shine through.

The iron-blooded bishop kneeling on the ground could only glare at Duan Mingyuan, but in fact, he was completely unaware of what had just happened.

There was a brief blank in his consciousness before the inherent barrier was broken and the gem infused with the power of the Sun King shattered.

The pagan in front of him seemed to be at ease.

Even during the bloody battle on the Wizard Star, he had never seen such power.

"Since you don't want to speak, I won't force you."

Duan Mingyuan was very sympathetic to the Iron-Blooded Bishop. It was said that he was a veteran who had participated in the Wizard Star Wars. The activation of the inherent barrier just now must have consumed a lot of his mental energy.

However, in the face of Duan Mingyuan's consideration, the Iron-Blooded Bishop had a bad premonition in his heart.

He was familiar with that look.

This is the charity shown when facing prey that cannot resist.

Just as he always treats those who are about to be burned at the stake with gentleness, because he knows that what awaits them will be the burning flames.

"Stop him now!"

The Iron-Blooded Bishop shouted loudly, and the guards who had been hesitant finally came to their senses. They took up their weapons and rushed forward without hesitation.

But the next moment, the steps forward stopped involuntarily.

The Iron-blooded Bishop looked at the guards who were frozen in place like puppets, and what came into his eyes was a strange scene he had never seen before.

The guards' bodies were dislocated.

The more he tried to move forward, the more obvious the misalignment became.

The front half of their bodies bent forward seemed to be embedded in another space, while their back half were blocked in the real world.

This is... an inherent barrier.

At this moment, the Iron-Blooded Bishop finally understood everything.

They were still in the inherent barrier constructed by Duan Mingyuan, but compared with those oppressive barriers, Duan Mingyuan's barrier was much more silent, and they could not even detect its existence before being attacked by the barrier.

"As long as you stay where you are, you'll be fine."

Duan Mingyuan gave the guards a friendly reminder.

This was an inherent barrier that he had temporarily built based on A Jing's suggestion. After special training on consciousness space and the reversed world some time ago, he had a deeper understanding of the concept of "space".

He could already vaguely predict where the objects that were shattered by the reconstructed space would eventually go.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

People's eyes made him feel pressured. He didn't understand why everyone was looking at him as if he were a perverted murderer. Even Fuling was no exception. She unconsciously took several steps back, as if she was afraid that Duan Mingyuan would get excited and kill her as well.

Duan Mingyuan had to ask Fuling a soul-searching question, "Do I look like the kind of murderer who would burn people to death just because of a disagreement?"

Fuling nodded subconsciously, but then she seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly shook her head. Her thoughts were all in a mess.

Duan Mingyuan is obviously not a normal person. A normal person would not have the courage to attack the Chief Judge of the Church of Ashes and smash the ruby ​​that is irrigated with the energy of the scorching sun.

This gem is a symbol of status, and even in the Church of Ashes, only a few people are qualified to hold this gem.

When she saw the iron-blooded bishop fall to the ground, her mind was filled with thoughts about whether there was any possibility of reconciliation in this matter.

All her thoughts came to a dead end, and even her genius brain could not imagine any possibility of reconciling with the Church of Ashes after attacking the Chief Judge.

To think of the worst, this is likely to escalate into a war between the Church of the Embers and the Mandragora Consortium.

The wizards' carefully planned plan was realized so easily by Duan Mingyuan.

So, Fuling’s little brain crashed.

She suddenly remembered that she had not had time to drink papaya yogurt today. Maybe she should go back to her room and drink a cup of iced papaya yogurt to calm her nerves.

But on the other hand, Fuling's nod dealt a huge blow to Duan Mingyuan.

There is nothing more deadly than doubt from your teammates.

This forced him to explain his plan to the Iron-Blooded Bishop and Fuling at the same time. "Mr. Bishop is a person who doesn't like to communicate. That's nothing. In addition, he is old and may not remember things that happened many years ago accurately. So I just plan to simply check his memory bank. No one will be sent to the stake, and no one will be seriously injured or killed. After finding the information I want, the believers will help him go back to his room to rest."

Duan Mingyuan believed that he had always been a person who respected the elderly and loved the young. He also kindly reminded the Iron-Blooded Bishop, "Don't worry, the whole process will not cause any pain."

"you dare……"

The roar of shock and anger came to an abrupt end, and the Iron-blooded Bishop's eyes were in chaos, with fragments of past memories flashing before his eyes one after another.

These are the highest level secrets for the Church of Ashes.

He wanted to stop him and warn him of the consequences of exploring these secrets.

This would spark a war, just like what they did with Wizard Star.

The Church of Embers’ fleet will point its guns at Blue Star, and then—

"No, you won't."

Suddenly, a devilish voice appeared in the mind of the Iron-Blooded Bishop. Duan Mingyuan not only invaded his memory, but also seemed to understand his thoughts.

"Because there is nothing you need on Blue Planet."

The demon in his mind suddenly understood, which meant that the memories stored in his mind brought enlightenment to the demon.

This old man, who had fought in countless battlefields and cleared out countless opponents for the church, felt fear for the first time.

This fear does not come from failure.

Instead, someone pried open his memory, revealing all the memories that should have been buried.

The whole process lasted only a minute, but the torture seemed to last for centuries.

During this process, he tried all the counter spells he knew, but they were all ineffective in the face of the demon.

When the revolving lantern footage disappeared, the bishop once again met Duan Mingyuan's gaze.

The latter gave him a polite smile and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Excellency the Judge."
