Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 413 Day and Night

Compared to the first air conditioner that uses the energy of the scorching sun, or the home version of the game console that Baptism has been looking forward to, Pope Silverbeard is more concerned about what is happening right now.

For example, an inquisitor of the church is missing and is carrying a deadly parasite in her body.

He had to admit that his first impression of Duan Mingyuan was not a good one.

Recently, he had heard many legends about the other party. Even the Iron-Blooded Bishop praised him highly. This made him subconsciously think that Duan Mingyuan was a serious person worthy of discussing important matters with him.

A decent person would not stay in his room leisurely and invent air conditioning under such circumstances.

"I want to discuss Yelena's matter with you."

After the celebration banquet, he called Duan Mingyuan to the small room next door and asked, "What do you think about this epidemic?"

Although his first impression was somewhat disappointing, the Pope was very much looking forward to Duan Mingyuan's answer.

He had expected Yelena to be able to dig out some useful information from Jean-Saintfield's brain, but he didn't expect that she was infected with parasites.

Right now, he could only hope that Duan Mingyuan would do something inexplicable again.

"The housekeeper was the first person attacked by Yelena. Although I healed the wound on her neck, I couldn't change the loss of her scorching sun energy."

After leaving the basement, Duan Mingyuan asked Jinli about the housekeeper. Jinli said that the housekeeper's scorching sun energy was the strongest among the servants, and she also served as a clergyman in the church when she was young.

However, after being attacked, the butler's status changed to that of an ordinary person.

Over the next hour, her body began to react to the high temperature. She was sweating profusely and her face looked much more haggard, which seemed to be a sign of heat stroke.

"Although the maids thought they had saved the butler, when I examined his wounds, I discovered that Yelena had never intended to take his life from the beginning."

Duan Mingyuan continued, this is fundamentally different from the zombie virus that people are familiar with. The infected people will not lose their minds and bite to death every living thing they encounter. They tear the other's flesh and blood just to drain the energy from the other's body.

"What does this mean?"

The Pope was in awe. After entering the room, Duan Mingyuan seemed like a different person, looking like a medical researcher.

Is it...

Is it true that there is someone who is so accomplished in medicine and can also manufacture air conditioners?
In his opinion, these two things can only be described as completely unrelated.

"This shows that the situation is much more difficult than the zombie virus. Yelena's actions also represent the thoughts of the Night Witch to a certain extent."

If the Night Witch had caused a zombie crisis in the Holy City, he would have classified her as an out-of-control lunatic, but now it seems that the witch's plan is more dangerous than they expected.

"Black parasites appeared in the bodies of every infected person. We might as well assume that Yelena's draining of the Sun's energy from people's bodies is only the first step of the plan. After losing the Sun's energy, the parasites will further transform the host's body."

After learning the details of the feud between the wizard and the Church of Embers, Duan Mingyuan could vaguely guess the plan of the Dark Night Witch.

If it was just destroying the holy city, or killing Pope Silverbeard, an old man who had one foot halfway into the coffin, this might not be enough to eliminate the hatred in the heart of the Dark Night Witch.

For these devout believers of the Sun King, there are things in this world that are more terrifying than killing them.

For example, the collapse of faith.

"This is a parasite born to target the scorching sun energy. In the worst case, it may disintegrate the scorching sun energy of every believer and transform them into the opposite..."

At this point, Duan Mingyuan got stuck.

In fact, he didn't know the specific name of this dark energy. In the words of the Church of Embers, it was a trick of the devil. The Pope nodded seriously, and he understood Duan Mingyuan's warning.

"What would you do if it were you?"

he asked again.

This should have been the decision he should have made as the leader of the Church of Ashes, but right now, he was at a loss as to what to do.

What he faced was a battle without the smoke of gunpowder, and the Night Witch, as always, hid in the darkness, patiently spying on the changes in the Holy City.

Perhaps in a few days, this most sacred land will be occupied by a group of pagans.

"I'd make an extra-large air conditioner, big enough to cover an area of ​​the city."

?

The Pope looked up, his face full of question marks.

He didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to air conditioning.

How obsessed are these blue-star people with air conditioning?
Duan Mingyuan explained slowly, "This is a city with a surface temperature of 50 degrees. The believers of the Embers Church have been able to live in such an environment because of the protection of the scorching sun energy. This has allowed your bodies to develop a certain degree of tolerance to high temperatures. But once the scorching sun energy in the believers' bodies disappears, what will happen?"

The answer has been given by the steward of baptism.

Even if they have a strong will, their bodies will react to high temperatures by causing dehydration, heat stroke, etc. At the same time, the maids' mention of Yelena's fear of strong light is also a good clue.

As enemies of the Church of Ashes, the "devils" are naturally at their weakest after dawn.

"If in this situation, the temperature in one urban area drops below the range they can tolerate, the human body will naturally make a choice."

This is Duan Mingyuan’s suggestion.

He did not advocate that the Church of Embers should go on a chaotic search for Yelena in the middle of the night.

Yelena is the bait thrown by the Night Witch, and the night is the devil's stage.

Acting rashly might turn more of the church's elite into breeding grounds for parasites.

"You mean, just leave Yelena alone?"

Rationally, the Pope agreed with Duan Mingyuan's judgment, but emotionally, he found it difficult to accept allowing a pathogen to wreak havoc on the sacred land of the Church.

“This is just my personal advice.”

Duan Mingyuan shrugged. In fact, he did not want to get involved in the century-long feud between the Embers Church and the Wizards Association. What he said just now was just a reminder to his Baptist friends. "As for what is the best decision for the church now, it all depends on your judgment."

At this moment, a pair of eyes were spying on the room.

The glass with colorful flowers reflected the image of the room, but in the world reflected by the glass, the figure of another person also appeared in the room.

The figure frowned, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes as he looked at Duan Mingyuan.

After staring at Duan Mingyuan for a long time, she raised her index finger angrily and drew a bright red cross on the part of the mirror that reflected Duan Mingyuan's figure.
