Chapter 38: Each Takes What It Needs



Du Yuqi was woken up by someone. He only felt his eyelids were very dry and he was still very sleepy. His body was still longing for rest. However, seeing the solemn expression of Deacon Wu Nian, he knew that things had changed. He forced himself to be alert and said:

"There seems to be some new news?"

Deacon Wu Nian looked at Du Yuqi and said seriously:

"Yes, there is indeed trouble on Mr. Paul's side."

Du Yuqi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said:

"What's the trouble?"

Deacon Wu Nian pondered and said:

"We used divine magic to treat Mr. Paul. Because of his special identity, all the paladins who were assigned to treat him were level 4 or above. According to the conventional plan, we first used high-level purification on him, which can remove all abnormal negative states in his body, including diseases, and then released rapid healing on him..."

"The problem arises here. We have failed to purify Mr. Paul's disease! Even the bishop-level efforts have failed! You know, unless the legendary plague apostle Di Ruiji takes action personally, otherwise such a problem will not occur. Then... there is only one possibility. The disease in Mr. Paul's body has transcended this plane, so the laws of this plane cannot take effect on him."

Du Yuqi was surprised and said:

“How is this possible…?”

Wu Nian shook his head and said:

"That's the only reasonable explanation."

Du Yuqi was about to argue when he suddenly remembered that he had used the special medicine penicillin to treat diphtheria for little Paul, and penicillin was brought from Earth! To be honest, penicillin has an extremely good killing effect on various bacteria, but some strains will develop strong drug resistance and mutate after facing the attack of penicillin.

The reason why people on earth have always been telling us not to abuse antibiotics is because we are afraid that one day bacteria, under the attack of antibiotics, will evolve too quickly and mutate into "super bacteria", making existing human drugs helpless.

It is obvious that the penicillin he used happened to cause the rapid mutation of the diphtheria Corynebacterium in Paul's body during the process of killing the diphtheria Corynebacterium. Because the source of the mutation of the diphtheria Corynebacterium came from the alien Earth, the diphtheria Corynebacterium mutated into bacteria that transcended this plane. It is like a human fetus that is exposed to alien mutation radiation. Even the most powerful scientists cannot predict what it will mutate into.

"This... Is God not going to give me a chance to survive? I have to face such a low-probability event?"

Du Yuqi roared in his heart. After a while, he faced the reality and smiled bitterly:

"Okay, maybe it's my fault, but such a low-probability event actually happened. What kind of heinous thing did the Ratness family do?"

Wu Nian actually continued Du Yuqi's words and said:

"Do you know the Ratnes family's family emblem, Reverend Du?"

Du Yuqi said:

"It seems to be cornflowers?"

Wu Nian nodded and said:

"To be precise, it is cornflowers blooming in the ice and snow. Cornflowers are difficult to grow locally, but they can bloom particularly luxuriantly in the flower garden of the Ratness family. This is because the Ratness family uses corpses and blood as fertilizer in the garden, and the Ratness family's flower garden is a full 340 acres... Therefore, this family has always had a mixed reputation in Chateli."

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"Okay, let's discuss Mr. Paul again. I believe the Holy Temple will not watch a count die, right? Especially when the count is the last heir of the family. If you save him, you can gain the friendship of the Ratnes family, and this friendship will be as strong as if it was spewed by the ice dragon Skarsa. At the same time, the name of the Holy Light will shine into the hearts of all nobles."

Wu Nian said calmly:

"But, I will also gain the jealousy of many people, especially those who may have their eyes on the territory of the Ratness family. It will take at least another 20 years for Earl Ratness's friendship to have a significant effect, but the jealousy I gain will be immediate."

Du Yuqi laughed and shook his head.

"Mr. Priest, there are as many people who want Count Ratness to die as there are people who want him to live. If he really dies here, I guarantee that the church will be blamed no less, and you will also lose the opportunity to invest in the life-saving grace of an earl, and this opportunity is something that many people would never ask for."

Wu Nian heard Du Yuqi's words and sighed, but did not refute. He changed the subject and said:

"So, we can only take the dumbest approach now. Since the abnormal state of illness is constantly eroding Mr. Paul's health, we can only take the dumbest approach and continuously inject health into Mr. Paul, so that the divine art: slow healing will always remain on his body."

Having said that, Wu Nian made a "please" gesture and led Du Yuqi inside.

After passing through numerous strict guards, Du Yuqi saw little Paul again. He was obviously in much better condition, with rosy complexion. He was now in a semi-comatose state, with his hands and feet moving from time to time. Although the "cough" sound in his throat was still clear, his little hands clearly had the strength to grasp.

Little Paul wore a set of jewelry on his neck and wrists. The jewelry was inlaid with white gems, and the surface even shone with a faint water light. From time to time, even the illusion of a cross would float up.

Wu Nian pointed at the pure white jewelry on this set of jewelry and said:

"This is a holy object made from Terra Stone crystals tempered by divine power. A total of 1,176 ordinary Terra Stones were used, and it took 73 years of bathing in holy light to form the Terra Divine Stone!"

"After obtaining this 15-carat Terra Divine Stone, we invited the most famous jeweler on the continent to make it into jewelry, and finally asked five great enchanters to grant it extra powerful power. This is a powerful legendary jewelry set that only the Archbishop is qualified to wear, known as the Enemy of Death. Now it is loaned to Mr. Paul for use."

"One of the special abilities of this set of jewelry is that once the wearer is injured or their health is threatened, the magic solidified on it will automatically be activated, allowing the wearer to permanently maintain the effect of a slow healing spell until he is completely cured. The slow healing spell will have a basic recovery ability. No matter who the wearer is, if it is Mr. Paul, it will be assumed that it was released by a fourth-level paladin. Of course, if someone with devout faith wears this set of jewelry, the slow healing spell will be elevated to a new level and be assumed to be released by the awakened Apocalypse."

After hearing Wu Nian's explanation, Du Yuqi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Let's put it this way, if she could wear such a set of jewelry, she would almost certainly not die unless she was torn into pieces or her head was chopped off.

He suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were naive, because he regarded the four burly, well-armed guys standing next to Mr. Paul's cradle as bodyguards and gave the new Earl Ratnes the treatment of aristocrats. But now it seems that these four guys are indeed bodyguards, but it is estimated that their main goal is to protect this enemy of death.

"So now we can only wait." After Du Yuqi finished reading all this, Wu Nian said to him:

"We have tried our best. If Count Ratnes's condition does not recur, then the chances of recovery are very high."

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"Yes, I am sure of that."

Wu Nian then looked at Du Yuqi with burning eyes and said:

"Well, it seems that Pastor Du told our High Priest a wonderful story before? The content of the story is about the siege, which is very similar to the situation we are facing now."

Du Yuqi looked around, Wu Nian naturally understood what he meant, and took him to a secluded place. Then Du Yuqi coughed and said:

"That's right, but I'm just saying it. If you take it seriously, you'll lose."

"Holy Light is the original glory and the final salvation." Wu Nian said seriously: "I don't want to beat around the bush, because the Holy Church has shown its utmost sincerity, so I hope that Pastor Du will also spare no effort to assist us... Now we have encountered a big problem, that is, after all, thousands of refugees have poured into the Minsk Holy Church, and most of these people are devout believers of the Holy Light. If we don't handle it carefully, it will bring shame to the Holy Light!"

Du Yuqi squinted his eyes and thought:

"The best way to deal with this is to identify the real traitors among these refugees, and then start a civil war in the name of the heretics outside, kill these real traitors, and finally put the blame for the attack on the heretics. At the same time, activate the magic trap I mentioned and turn the area around the Minsk Cathedral into a dead zone."

Wu Nian whispered:

"One hundred and thirty-eight fanatics who are willing to sacrifice everything for the Holy Light are ready. Eleven super-large magic traps are also being made. These even include the legendary Black Plague Sea of ​​the Apostle Diregi, the Strong Acid Storm of the Mage Scholar, and so on... It can be said that everything is ready."

"The only problem is that we lack someone who can blend in with the refugees and preside over this matter. This person's task is very difficult. He must protect the devout believers from harm and identify the traitors among the refugees. At the same time, this person must appear to have nothing to do with the Minsk Cathedral on the surface. Otherwise, these things he does in the future will inevitably be discovered by others."

Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said:

"I understand. I am the one who proposed this plan. I have sufficient confidentiality and ability. At the same time, I am from another world and have nothing to do with you. Strictly speaking, I am indeed the most suitable candidate... I also think there is no problem in helping you do this. However, there are two things I must state first."

Wu Nian Dao:

"you say."

Du Yuqi said:

"I came to Arad in response to a summons. The content of the summons contract is to ensure that Count Ratness is alive within eight hours. Now it is estimated that at least four hours have passed. It may not be enough to do these things for you in the next period of time."

Wu Nian Dao:

"Okay, I know about this. It's not a big problem. What's the next question?"

Du Yuqi spread out his hands and said:

"If you want me to do something, you have to give me some authority or benefits. Otherwise, if I have to wait for you to slowly build up my authority in such a tight time, even if I can wait, you can't, right?"

Wu Nian hesitated for a moment and said:

"what would you like?"

Du Yuqi said:

"People who come here are either waiting for treatment like me, or seeking shelter. The order outside is obviously very bad, and many people must be very annoyed, so we can just start with these three points. First, I hope to get some treatment resources, such as giving me a dozen bottles of primary alchemy potions. Secondly, you can make some room, such as an old warehouse that can shelter from the wind and rain. Finally, you can arrange a few people to respond to me when necessary. It's that simple."

After hearing this, Wu Nian said cheerfully:

"no problem."

He then said to Du Yuqi with some concern:

"Although the response plan you proposed is not bad, there is a big problem, that is, it must be completed before the other party launches an attack. According to some of the information we have currently grasped, the enemy is indeed plotting something. Your guess is indeed... Is it too late now?"

Du Yuqi unconsciously stroked the black dimensional ring, and after a while he said in an affirmative tone:

"It's still in time. If the other party really had this conspiracy long ago, then when the riots first started, they would have organized a large number of refugees to attack. At that time, there would really be no solution. Now it has been nearly seven or eight hours since the riots broke out. Since the refugee wave has not arrived at this time, it is enough to show that they must have come up with this plan at the last minute..."

"Under the current circumstances, it is not difficult to get a large number of refugees, but it is absolutely not an easy task to guide these refugees to organize and rush to the Minsk Cathedral. Refugees are not sheep, how can they be obedient? Moreover, if you use this trick, it is best to gather enough people at once to prevent you from being prepared. Therefore, even if the most pessimistic estimate is that the enemy will need at least one day to complete a series of preparations."
