Walking through the long cloister, the doors of the chapel quickly come into view.

Before the two of them could reach the door, the thick gate opened first, and two young women dressed as maids hurried out. Seeing the two of them pulling together outside the door, they stopped slightly and bowed slightly, and then left quickly.

Judging from the direction they left, they should have gone to the apse.

In the chapel, two emaciated figures are lying on makeshift beds. Needless to guess, they must be Miss Alina and Mr. Ronald in the mouth of the young pastor who came to report the letter.

Fang Qiuling's face was solemn, and he looked at the figure lying on the bed quietly.

The two figures, a man and a woman, are very thin, and the hands and feet exposed outside the clothes are very thin, not the kind of thin that is full of texture that comes from the management of the body, but the thin kind that is skinny. The first reaction was malnutrition.

At the same time, their skin is generally a leaden gray, the kind that is extremely unnatural at first glance and knows that there is a problem. On joints such as elbows and ankles, large black spots are scattered all over them, like tattoos. However, this kind of tattoo has no beauty at all, and it seems to crack and suppurate easily. Without any special observation, Fang Qiuling saw a lot of large and small scabs around the spots.

"Why are the two of them so skinny? Is it a refugee from the outside? Been hungry for a long time, right? Fang Qiuling whispered to Pastor Ed, "Well, it doesn't seem to be a refugee. The clothes look good, the children of rich families? ”

"you......" Pastor Ed opened his mouth to explode into foul language, but he remembered that he was in the chapel now, and he swallowed the dirty words in the back, "...... It was the young lady and the young lady of the Count de Harus's family. ”

"Count DeHarus's house? It's the child of the lord's family......"

Fang Qiuling's eyes flashed. In his memory, there was no "little lady" in the house of Count Deharus, and there was no "little son".

Lord of the Lake of Mist, Count Otis Obreen von Diharus, he has two sons.

The eldest son, Charles Dipiy Otis von DiHarus, who should not be over forty years old this year, is a strong man with silver subversive power. The second son, Theodor Otis von Diharus, in his early thirties, was a wizard who had mastered the spells of the seventh level.

The men of the two earls' families were quite good and handsome, but unfortunately both died in the First Kuroshio War.

The eldest son, Charles Dipiy Otis von DiHarus, held the castle together with his father, Count DeHarus. At the end of the siege and defense of Fog Castle, the battle was irreversible, and Charles had to give the order to retreat to the remnants of the Seventh Knights, and then led a few guards to launch a counter-charge against the army of the undead.

The Charr burst into the army of the undead, slaying many of them one after another, and finally died under the bombardment of the necromancer's tactical-level spells. It was precisely because of his courage that the remnants of the Seventh Knights were able to leave the battlefield smoothly.

The second son, Theodor Otis von DiHarus, led the Knights of the Misty Sunset to cover the retreat of the people to the Rift Fortress. Unfortunately, on his way to the Rift Fortress, Teodor was attacked by the Dark Nation's elite assassination team of Mamo. The two sides fought fiercely and eventually died together.

In addition to the eldest son Charles and the second son Theodor, what other children does Count DeHarus have?

Fang Qiuling silently searched for the answer in his mind. At the same time, Lady Mogre had already knelt down on one knee in front of the two emaciated figures and began to pray.

After a brief prayer, the blue-blue divine power gathered in the chapel in a halo of light visible to the naked eye. The divine power converged, and wisps turned into a whirling storm. As the last prayer fell, the storm retracted inward, tumbling and changing like a fusion, finally turning into two blue-blue clouds.

A very characteristic divine technique, Fang Qiuling recognized it after just a few glances - Ultramarine's blessing, a high-level divine technique comparable to an eighth-level spell, a special divine technique that could only be performed by a paladin who served the god of wind, Notos.

As the spell ended, slender lightning began to beat frequently between the two turquoise clouds, accompanied by a faint sound of thunder—not caught by the ears, but directly in the heart.

After a series of small lightning bolts, a small rain of light began to fall. The light and rain are tangible but not qualitative, and the scene of falling one after another is reminiscent of continuous spring rain. A tiny blue-blue glow fell on the two emaciated figures, causing ripples of the same color on their skin. Large and small scabs then begin to fall, revealing intact skin beneath the scabs. However, the black light soon covered the skin again, and it didn't take long for it to crack again, and then scab over again under the effect of light rain......

Ultramarine's blessing is not a healing magic, but a blessing magic. The effect is an overall increase in the body's various functions, as well as a positive buff similar to a quick healing.

The major holy places in the present world have been conducting in-depth research on spells. Healing spells are the obvious embodiment of the difference between "spirit" and "reason", and they are the most intuitive "miracles", so they have always been a key project in the field of magic research.

After a great deal of observation and practice, combined with analysis of modern scientific theories, the researchers came to a slightly surprising preliminary conclusion. Healing spells, most of them to be exact, clerical spells and druids' nature spells are included, and the most direct effect of their spells is not "healing", but time acceleration!

Accelerating the flow of time in a small area accelerates the metabolism of the human body within the spell's area of effect, resulting in wounds that take a long time to heal naturally in a short period of time.

With such a preliminary conclusion, the researchers naturally put forward a warning: do not accept the treatment of healing spells as much as possible, because healing spells come at the cost of overdrawing your life!

The effect of a healing spell is not actually a "healing", but a "time acceleration", which is a technique to manipulate time by changing the flow of time on a local scale.

The acceleration of the time flow shortens the time of metabolism, which affects the cycle of cell division in human tissues, thus shortening the time required for cells to change from one to two, two to four, and four to eight. The speed of cell division is accelerated, and it is hundreds or thousands of times faster, and the wound heals naturally faster, and the healing process becomes observable to the naked eye.

The publication of this research result caused an uproar for a while. Those therapists who didn't care about headaches, brain fever, and brainless brush healing spells suddenly put themselves in danger, and their "business" plummeted.

According to the research of modern scientists, cells in the human body are usually capable of dividing 50 to 60 times, and some say 40 to 70 times. Modern medicine has not completely solved the mysteries of the human body, which means that there is no very precise value to define.

Whenever a cell divides, the chromosomes inside the cell are duplicated. In the process of replication, a small piece of the end of the chromosome is broken. At the end of each chromosome there is a long repetitive piece of DNA called telomeres. This region doesn't have any code, it acts like a hat that protects the rest of the chromosome during replication. When chromosomes replicate again and again, that is, cells continue to divide, causing telomeres to become shorter and disappear, and then chromosome duplication occurs again, the process of replication becomes extremely unstable. Because without telomere protection, the process of replication will directly act on the coding region of the chromosome, which is a very, very bad thing, and will cause a large number of mutations that will cause the chromosome to mutate in the process of replication.

Of course, mutation usually doesn't happen. Because when telomeres are too short for chromosomes to replicate safely, cells age. Senescence, for a cell, means that it transforms into a different state. In the senescent state, cells can still survive for a long time and continue to perform the normal functions of the cell. Cells in a state of senescence do not divide again.

Of course, there are also abnormal cells, such as cancer cells......

In other words, there is a limit to the number of normal cell divisions, and it is not possible to divide indefinitely. This also means that every healing spell is overdrawing the body's potential, exchanging its future life span for the healing of the wound in front of it, and consuming its own life force.

Ultramarine's Blessing is a buff-type spell that strengthens various body functions with a positive buff that heals quickly. Rapid healing is a healing spell that works continuously, and is essentially a manipulation of the flow of time, speeding up the metabolism to recover from damage done to the body as quickly as possible.

As the metabolism accelerates, the growth rate of the cell accelerates, and the cycle of cell division becomes shorter. Let's put aside the loss of life force, the growth and division of cells also require energy, and they are consumed. Where does all this consumption come from? It comes from the daily diet, which is often referred to as nutrition.

Why are the two figures in front of you so thin? Fang Qiuling quickly had a conjecture.

If nothing else, it should be that the priests have repeatedly performed healing magic techniques in order to cure the plague suffered by these two people. Healing magic is caused by multiple activations of metabolism, resulting in a large depletion of stored capacity in the body.

The healing technique accelerated the metabolism, and the body's functions were improved during the cycle of the divine magic, which in turn suppressed the epidemic. On the surface, people have become energetic, and the epidemic seems to have been removed. However, in fact, the epidemic has not been eradicated, but only suppressed by active bodily functions. When the effects of the healing magic passed, the body's functions declined, and the epidemic once again gained the upper hand. As a result, the epidemic is repeated and cannot be cured.
