honor me as god

Chapter 504
Hearing this news, Edward's forehead was already filled with cold sweat, and he almost shouted: "What's going on?! The Scarlet Church has used the blood for purification as a coercion, demanding more political benefits?!"

Perseus shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's not coercion, but it's more terrifying than coercion. It's not that the Scarlet Church has purified blood that can't be produced on purpose, but that it can't be produced at all."

"It can't be produced." Edward muttered, and asked in amazement, "They didn't promise before that they could provide purified blood stably for a long time. Why did they suddenly say that they couldn't produce it?"

A self-deprecating expression appeared on Perseus's face: "You must never have imagined that the fact that the purified blood could not be produced would be involved with another seemingly unrelated person."

Perseus' eyes fell on Kino, and he said two words solemnly: "Ah Bao."

Kino frowned tightly, not quite understanding how Po could be involved with the blood of purification of the Scarlet Church.

The muscles on Perseus's face twitched, and anger ignited in his eyes: "It was only after I communicated with the archbishop this time that I learned that there is a necessary medicinal material in the production process of the purified blood, called "blood essence herb." ". "

"Blood Essence Grass is one of the treasures of heaven, material and earth. It grows in the land of flowers that is like spring all the year round. It is a specialty of the Far East Dynasty and can be used by some warriors to practice.

"But for us, Blood Essence Grass is not a raw material required for any potion formula, nor does it have health benefits, so this commodity is not circulated in the kingdom."

When Perseus said this, his fists were clenched: "That is to say, people from the Scarlet Church have been making private transactions with the Far Eastern Dynasty, buying blood essence grass in large quantities to make purified blood, and out of the "Church The confidentiality principle of the Special Asylum Act, they didn't tell us about it, and I was kept in the dark."

Lan Xian frowned suspiciously: "So, the production of the Purified Blood was discontinued because of the lack of blood essence grass? Then, can't we buy it from the Far Eastern Dynasty with a lot of money through the Abao caravan?"

Perseus sneered with sarcasm, and glanced at Kino intentionally or unintentionally: "Let him tell you."

Kino got up and said silently: "Lord Lan Xian, and everyone present here, you may not know that Ah Bao is dead, kidnapped by his bodyguard Hu Shanrong, and finally died in the desert."

Perseus had secretly entrusted Chino, Edward, and Resakhall to deal with Abao's affairs. In order to avoid leaking information, he did not disclose it to other ministers.

Only now did everyone know that this giant merchant wearing a three-clawed golden dragon robe was actually dead!

When everyone was astonished, Lan Xian subconsciously said: "So, blood essence grass"

Perseus said solemnly: "A Bao is the person in charge of dealing with the Scarlet Church in the Far East. After his death, the imperial court fully took back the control of A Bao's caravan, and interrupted everything between the caravan and Dogland. deals, including their cleansing blood supply agreement with the Scarlet Church."

"A few days ago, the archbishop came to me because he had to disclose this matter. Without the necessary material of blood essence herb, the Scarlet Church could no longer continue to produce the purified blood. The archbishop explained to me that the current production The purified blood reserve will last for another four months at most."

"After that four months, if the supply of blood essence grass cannot be restored..." Lan Xian realized the seriousness of the problem and dared not say anything.

Perseus' face was gloomy, and he said what Lan Xian didn't dare to say: "The veterinary epidemic will break out again in Doguland."

For a long time, doctors have been helpless against veterinary diseases. There are ways to suppress or block the spread, but they cannot be cured.

This also means that once infected with animal epidemics, they will always be infected.

Since the outbreak of the animal epidemic, the number of infected people in the Kingdom has been countless. Even after the war, out-of-control eradication and other factors, there are tens of millions of infected people in Dogland.

Except for the plague beast warriors of the Troy family, other infected people were scattered and locked up in various epidemic areas. Those who had the money to buy the blood of purification to suppress infectivity could live in the upper-level epidemic area, except that the range of activities was restricted. They need to report to the local defenders on a regular basis. In other respects, they are no different from ordinary people, and they can still live freely.

Those who have no money to buy purified blood can only be imprisoned in the lower epidemic area, which is a horrific hell. Those who cannot suppress the animalization factor will be locked in cages, their spirits will be twisted, and their limbs will be deformed until Become an uncontrollable plague beast.

In the lower epidemic area, every piece of air is full of sources of infection. Outsiders entering there must wear complete protective clothing and apply salt crystals on all parts that may come into contact with the air to prevent infection.

And those plague beasts in cages will become experimental samples, used by alchemists for research, testing medicines day after day, or subject to vivisection, becoming a "cornerstone" on the road to find a cure for animal plague.

In all fairness, the lowest level of cleansing blood is not expensive, the course of treatment is once a month, and the price is 160 iron moons, most commoner families can afford it.

This kind of purified blood is also one of the cornerstones of maintaining the stability of the kingdom. It gives most civilian infected people a way to survive, allowing them to maintain a basic life in the upper infected area, or at least live like a person.

But now, the supply of blood essence grass and the production of purified blood have been cut off, which means that millions of infected people are about to relapse and even deform into plague beasts.

Once the veterinary disease returns and the situation is completely out of control, as Perseus said, Dogrand will be wiped out.

If the high-level officials of the kingdom let it go, it means that they will face millions of twisted and manic plague beasts, as well as newly infected people who were infected after the outbreak of the animalization epidemic.

Even if we can show the momentum of war and send troops to eliminate them, the number of plague beasts is still too large. Even if we can win, the national strength will be ruined.

If an iron-fisted policy is adopted to execute all the millions of infected people in the upper and lower epidemic areas in advance and burn them on the spot, this can eliminate the hidden danger of animal epidemics in one fell swoop, and even use this to get rid of the scarlet church's coercion.

But you must know that infected people are also human beings and have their own relatives and friends.

Hundreds of millions of infected people are behind millions of families. If they gather in one city, it will be fine. They are scattered all over the kingdom, and the extended network of relationships is already difficult to estimate.

If all these infected people are executed, will their relatives agree?
My father, mother, children, brothers... were executed for no reason just because they were infected with an incurable disease.

As long as this kind of policy is implemented, people will be excited and popular uprisings will happen everywhere.

And the Troy family.
It's true that Troy is a royal family, but don't forget that their clan, including the leader Edward, are all infected.

Once the people of Troy lose control due to the loss of the purified blood, especially if a high-sequence plague beast warrior like Edward loses control, the destructive power will be unimaginable.

Now, Dogrand is at a dead end at both ends, and it is a dilemma. It is no wonder that Perseus is so haggard.
