Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 504: Night is Coming

As a ray of setting sun shines into the ward, the day is about to end, which also means that everyone will say goodbye to Shiori forever.

Olmia had returned to the Temple of Autotes earlier to deal with the pile of church affairs. She was not familiar with Shiori, so she would not sigh like Bai Hao.

Rice wine was indeed a famous delicacy in southern Xinjiang. Yula and Kalia had been drunk several hours ago and were now lying on a bed hugging each other and snoring. Even the dwarf guards who had been drinking with them were all unconscious.

Finina hugged Bai Haodu's thigh and muttered to herself, all illogical talk in her sleep. She was obviously very drunk. The same was true for Shiori. The old dwarf who claimed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk couldn't even hold the glass steadily.

Now, the only conscious person in the ward is Bai Hao. It's not because his alcohol tolerance is better than those alcoholic dwarves, but because Bai Hao has been using magic to break down alcohol, which allows him to always stay in a slightly tipsy state.

Bai Hao always kept Olivia's warning in mind. Even though he was now at the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Bright Moon, Iris's incarnation could attack him at any time, so he had to stay awake.

Especially not long ago, the God of Light Element also introduced the divine power of Iris, the human life. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how excellent the defense around him is, Feng, who believes that "man can conquer nature", will always have a 51% chance of winning.

If Bai Hao is a little careless, he will be doomed.

"Oh, little Baihao, I think it's about time for me to go to bed. My eyelids are getting heavier..." Shiori held a half-empty bucket of rice wine and looked at Baihao with half-open eyes.

The setting sun was as red as blood, becoming increasingly intense, and the color of the ward had completely changed from white to crimson red.

Night is approaching.

Bai Hao was somewhat moved when he saw the drowsy Shiori. It was the first time for him to see a dwarf about to die of old age up close, especially since this dwarf was his friend.

Shiori's face was still rosy, and there was no trace of death or decay on his body. He seemed like a drunkard who was about to fall into a deep sleep, but Bai Hao knew that this sleep would be a permanent one.

Bai Hao sighed, and helped Shiori fill the wooden wine glass in front of him. He said calmly: "Drink this last glass and go to sleep. I toast to you, the great Master Shiori, my master in the field of forging, my friend!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen Xiao Baihao take the initiative to toast. I didn't expect to see it at the last moment of his life."

Shiori raised the wooden wine glass tremblingly. Bai Hao clearly saw through the divine vision that the magic power in Shiori's body was constantly dissipating. At this moment, Shiori was gradually transforming from a great magician into an ordinary old man.

"Don't show such a sad expression, Xiao Baihao. Didn't you also say that dying of old age is also a kind of happiness?"

Shiori clinked his glasses with Bai Hao gently, and said weakly, "Please give me a farewell party."

Bai Hao held back his tears and tried not to look at Zhuo's wrinkled old face. He just continued to drink rice wine proudly. This time he did not use magic to speed up the decomposition of alcohol, but savored the trance brought by the mellow aroma and bitterness.

However, before Bai Hao finished the wine in the cup, there was a sound of a wooden cup falling to the ground from the opposite side, and the rice wine spilled all over the floor.

Bai Hao stared at the old man opposite him in a daze and found that he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, and the hand that was holding the wine glass dropped limply.

Shiori is dead.

Bai Hao looked at the peaceful Shuai in silence for a while, then slowly raised his cup and drank the remaining rice wine. The sunset outside the house gradually faded.

At this time, Bai Hao could already see the bright moon appearing on the horizon.

"Drinking can never dispel sorrow. When you sober up, you are often even more sad."

A pleasant female voice came from behind Bai Hao, elegant, proper and full of courtesy. Bai Hao remembered this voice. Not long ago, he had spent a wonderful day with the owner of the voice.

"Cornelei, why are you here?" Bai Hao was a little confused when he heard that. He turned to look at Cornelei who was wearing a beautiful dress. She was still as perfect as ever.

Cornele did not answer Bai Hao's question, but walked slowly to Bai Hao's side and took out a piece of manuscript paper from her arms with some excitement. The densely packed numbers and symbols on it quickly attracted Bai Hao's attention.

"What is this equation about?"

Bai Hao looked at the scribbled words on the manuscript paper with great interest. The more he read, the more fascinated he became. He couldn't help but ask, "You seem to have got the answer. With such a huge amount of calculation, what is this..."

"It's about the energy output threshold of the 180 spires of the headquarters church!"

Bai Hao was stunned by Cornelie's nonchalant words, and then he frowned and said, "How do you know this? The values ​​required for calculation are not something you, a non-religious person, can easily obtain, even if you are a divine person!"

"It's very simple," Cornelie said with a sly look, and then she patiently explained, "You just need to go to the Moon Purification Pavilion on any of the spires to investigate, because the 180 spires that serve as the core of the formation are all exactly the same. If you know one of them, you can calculate the maximum energy output value of the entire Purification Formation!"

Bai Hao nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Cornelle said, but soon narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "No, no one can enter Yuejing Pavilion except the Spire God Envoy and the Bright Moon Saint. Not even me. Who are you..."

"Well, I'll tell you about this question later, dear Viscount Campbell. Don't you want to know why I want to calculate the maximum output value of the energy of the Purification Array?" Cornelle said as she slowly stood up and walked to Youla's side.

Cornelie's behavior was very strange, which made Bai Hao alert. He immediately used the magic of divine sound to inform Olmia and Ovenelite. In any case, Cornelie had no motive to go to Yuejing Pavilion, let alone calculate such a complicated number.

It was obvious that the Cornele in front of Bai Hao was not the one he knew. After just a brief thought, Bai Hao's answer was clear.

"You are not Cornelie, you are the incarnation of Iris, you are Feng!" Bai Hao shouted, but did not act rashly, because at this moment Cornelie's hand had already pinched Youla's delicate neck.
