Chapter 79: Purple Spot Disease
Suya apologizes for explaining Lilith's current physical condition to Finn, and in more tactful words she can't do anything about the Warlock Maiden's illness.
The young paladin looked at the sleeping warlock girl again, then reached out and lifted the quilt over him, and moved his feet off the bed.
"Ah, Mr. Finnβ"
"It's okay, I've rested."
Finn smiled and waved at the worried nun to show that he was fine, then slipped his feet into a pair of leather boots that lay beside the bed, and walked to the edge of the bed where Lilith was lying.
Lilith's eyes closed peacefully as if she had fallen asleep forever, her long black hair spread out on a white pillow, her body from the neck down was covered under the sheets, and her quiet and beautiful sleeping face made her look like a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale.
Fein looked at the sleeping girl intently, and with the intention of trying, he removed the hot towel from the girl's forehead and replaced it with the palm of one of his own hands.
He pressed the palm of his right hand on Lilith's forehead, then exhaled to adjust his breathing a little, and then used the skill on the warlock girl in front of him. A pale golden glow shone from the paladin youth's hand, and the glow gave a warm visual effect inside, and then turned into a warm current that soaked through the surface of the skin on the warlock girl's forehead.
"How's it going, Finn?"
After seeing the warm light sink into Lilith's head, Arya, who was standing by and watching the whole process, reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Finn's clothes, and whispered about the results of the holy healing.
There was no joy on Finn's face. He looked at the warlock girl who still had her eyes closed, then shook her head at Arya and said, "No reaction at all. My skills won't help Lilith. β
"No response?" Arya was stunned, "But I remember, didn't you heal me and Monroe at the city hall of Azur Harbor very well?" Why can't I change Lilith? β
With that, she looked into the eyes of the young paladin with a strange and unwilling expression on her face, expecting to get a reasonable answer from the other party's words.
"Because...... Lilith shouldn't be hurt. Finn thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know exactly what state she's in right now. β
"But then again." He thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at the Miss Nun on the side, "Miss Suya, you just mentioned purple spot disease?" β
"Yes." Su Ya looked at him and admitted, "Purple spot disease is a strange disease that suddenly spread in the city a few days ago, and people who suffer from this disease will have dark purple bruises on their skin, and then their spirits will gradually become sluggish and fall into a coma. As you can see, due to the rapid increase in the number of sick residents in the city, the auditorium has been cleared for the care of the sick. β
"I can see it." Finn nodded, then walked away from Lilith's bed to the other single bed.
On that bed lay another middle-aged man. The man's face looked very haggard, his skin exposed to the outside of his linen shirt was covered with dark purple bruises, and the not too relaxed expression on his face seemed to tell Finn and an old priest standing beside him that he had fallen into a terrible nightmare and could not break free from the pain of waking up.
Finn lowered his head slightly to observe the middle-aged man, watched the old priest standing beside his bed wipe the cold sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and then raised his eyes to look at the elderly priest and asked, "Excuse me, is this the symptom of purple spot disease?" β
The old priest was dressed in a white robe, and looked to be in his fifties. He raised his eyes and glanced at Finn, then replied to the young paladin in front of him in a calm voice, "Yes, this poor gentleman is suffering from the Purple Spot Disease. Purple spot disease has been spreading in the city since the last few days, and it will weaken and eventually fall into a deep sleep, but it will not be dispelled. β
After that, the old white-robed priest sighed softly and helplessly, and took out a small silver bracelet from his robe in front of Finn, held five fingers, lifted the priesthood badge he hung on the silver bracelet, and cast a magic on the sleeping purpuropathic patient in front of him.
A glimmer of holiness poured out of the emblem bracelet in the old priest's hand, and quickly turned into an invisible stream of air into the patient's body, but the final spell effect was as useless as the skill Finn had used against Lilith not long ago.
The old priest withdrew the silver bracelet with the emblem into his robe, and the two pupils, slightly clouded by age, cast a gloomy gaze on Finn, which seemed to say, "As you can see, I have done my best. β
After the old priest proved that he could not expel the purpura from the man with his simple and direct actions, Fein looked at the poor patient a few more times, and then reached out to help the latter pull up the corner of the collapsed quilt, and gave up the naΓ―ve idea of trying his luck with his skills again.
After all, although they are both negative types of health statuses, the two types of states that reflect the physical health of the character are also different - for example, the Paladin skill can heal injuries but cannot expel them, and the priest profession specializes in magic that can expel diseases for sick characters but cannot cause the injured person to heal immediately.
Besides, with the memories and experience of being a gamer in his previous life, Fein knew that purpura was not really a disease in the traditional sense.
He knew that the reason why people with purple spot disease had dark purple ecchymosis on their skin was because the source of purple spot was not a viral plague, but something born from the abyssal plane or the sulfur hell region of the underworld. That kind of thing is the heart of the demon baby.
Demons are naturally chaotic and evil creatures, and these creatures full of destruction and destruction** often have a powerful power far beyond ordinary humans in adulthood, but at the same time, they also have a period of their own infancy like human babies.
The form of the demon juvenile is known as the "demon baby" by the scholars of Feldia. Once the organs of this demonic creature invade the body of a xenomorph creature, it will move into its new nest like a greedy parasite, and frantically absorb the spiritual and physical nutrients of its host, so that some of the weak magic power contained in it will amplify with it, and finally make the dark purple bruises produced by the expansion of the magic power appear on the epidermis of some host creatures with poor physical tolerance.
Think about it this way......
"Could it be that the first time in history that the Demon Shepherd Sect and the Dark Alliance have joined forces, it has already started at this time?" Finn frowned, and immediately made this highly probable conjecture in his mind.
