Chapter 714: The Research Institute
The weather was getting hotter.
Winter could be bitterly cold at times, but wearing more clothes always helped. There were ways to stay warm.
Summer, however, was pure torment. Even without clothes, the heat was inescapable. The air itself was scorching, and even the wind felt like fire—blowing not with relief, but with more heat.
Even in Eminence’s busiest streets, the crowds had thinned. People feared the heat.
Lynch thought of summers in Nagaryll. The temperatures there were even higher than in the Federation, yet it never felt as unbearable. Under the swaying trees, the sweltering heat turned cool, the breeze carried a refreshing chill that settled deep within.
Sitting in a rattan chair, feeling that breeze, watching Nagaryll laborers sweating at construction sites—there was no greater pleasure.
When Lynch entered the research institute, a team of workers was adjusting some equipment.
“What are they doing?” he asked casually.
The institute director, who had come to greet him, immediately explained, “They’re installing a temperature regulator. It maintains a stable temperature range inside the facility.”
