The dominant belief in the kingdom of Dogurlander is the sun, and there is an official in the eight-office system who is the high priest who specializes in the belief in the sun.

Moreover, not only is the slogan of the kingdom's army "Glory to the sun", but the extraordinary power of the royal family of Dogurand also comes from the sun, and the stronger the belief in the sun, the hotter the power of the sun itself.

Over the years, it can be said that the whole people believe in the sun, and the so-called "Scarlet Church" is just a small group of doctors who study blood.

But since the outbreak of the bestiality plague 26 years ago, the situation of the Sun Faith covering the entire kingdom has slowly changed.

Since the royal family knew nothing about the beast disease, the alchemists were unable to study it all night, and a large number of infected people could not be treated.

Later, although the alchemists succeeded in refining the salt crystal and controlling the spread of the epidemic, the salt crystal could only prevent the epidemic and protect those who were not infected, and had no healing effect.

And those who have already been infected are numbering 100,000,000 million, and once these infected people become more sick and uncontrollable beasts, all parts of the kingdom will be destroyed overnight.

At that time, it seemed that there was only one way left for the royal family, and that was to execute all the infected and burn them on the spot.

Even if this would be unpopular, it would be the only way to keep the kingdom alive.

Just when the royal family decided to kill and Dogurand was about to usher in the darkest era, a second way appeared.

In the face of the engulfing beast plague, the doctors who studied blood in the Crimson Church invented the "blood therapy" that is still widely used today, using purified blood pressure to control the animal plague in the body of infected people, so that they can lose their infectiousness and live like normal people.

At first, blood therapy was only used on a small scale in the city where the church was located, but when it was found to be effective, it burned the whole territory like wildfire, helping the royal family to suppress the worst waves of the epidemic and restore order.

Because blood therapy can only suppress the disease factors and cannot be completely eliminated, it means that the infected person must be treated with blood for life, and once it is suspended, the infectious disease may recur, and the animal plague may come back.

The deadly place is here, and millions of infected people in the kingdom need blood healing, but the alchemists can't figure out the principle of blood healing at all, and they don't know how those purified blood are made, so they can only be provided by the Crimson Church.

This means that the Crimson Church, which has purified blood, actually holds the lifeblood of the kingdom.

The royal family once wanted to buy the blood healing principle with a lot of money, but the Scarlet Church was extremely tough and refused to hand it over, and the royal family failed to let them loose after several coercion and temptations, and the spies who inserted it did not have access to the core information.

The royal family has not taken violent measures, but in exchange for the strong resistance of the epidemic doctors, and even threatened to cut off the supply of purified blood, which caused a panic among the people.

In the end, in desperation, for the sake of the stability of the kingdom, the royal family could only give up their hardline attitude and choose to cooperate with the Crimson Church, allowing the epidemic doctors to travel through the six major provinces to suppress the bestial epidemic.

Today, the scale of the Crimson Church is extremely large, such as Shilin Town, where Chino was originally located, and even that kind of border town has the epidemic doctor of the Crimson Church, and the rest of the big cities can be imagined.

For civilians, when they are really facing life and death, many people are more willing to trust the epidemic doctors in front of them who can suppress the beast disease than the ethereal sun, and the status of the Crimson Church is getting higher and higher in the hearts of civilians.

Today, the sun is still the dominant belief in Doguland, and there is nothing to argue with that.

But beyond the sun, a lingering scarlet shadow has appeared.

...

Let's go back to the present.

As soon as Perseus heard this topic, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water: "It's true, just last week's incident." ”

Sting frowned: "Solandale is only 12 years old after her birthday..."

Perseus clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The archbishop said that he could wait until Solandale was 16 years old. ”

"Damn... intends to marry a royal princess, which is clearly an attempt to intervene in the politics of the kingdom and tie the church and the royal family deeper. This tie, it will be difficult to untie it again in the future. Sting held his forehead and said helplessly, "Even if you don't think about it so far, only about personal happiness, I don't think Solandale will like each other." The archbishop's son, heh, is as fat as a pig, and his eyes are smaller than mung beans, and all the dragons I raise are better looking than him. ”

Thinking of Solandale being carried into the room by the fat pig and crushed under him and crying, Pertheus's blood surged, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his pupils: "The church... I swear that in the future, as soon as the alchemist finds out the principle of blood healing, or finds other ways to control the beast plague, I will behead all these church dogs! Let their heads rot slowly on the walls!! ”

"Bang!" Speaking of anger, Perseus couldn't control his emotions and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

The king was furious, and the audience fell silent.

The banquet hall was very noisy just now, and no one heard what the two on the stage were talking about, and now in this situation, of course, no one dares to ask.

Everyone looked down at the table in front of them, motionless, not daring to make any sound, except for the sound of Percius's heavy breathing echoing all around.

Solandelle looked at Pertheus and cautiously asked, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

Perseus didn't want his daughter to see the abnormality, so he deliberately put on a drunken look, shook his head and smirked: "Oh-I-with you-Uncle Sting drank too much~ It's okay!" Go on, why are you stunned? If you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”

Whether it was true or false, the king's word was the truth, and everyone suppressed the timidity in their hearts and continued to laugh and laugh, and the banquet hall soon became lively again.

Solandelle looked at her father's stupid "drunk" appearance, grinned, and continued to learn magic tricks from Chino.

On the stage, the servants quickly came to clean up the pieces of the cups, and brought new cups, as well as wine and food.

Pertheus held a jug of wine in his left hand and a whole leg of roast lamb in his right hand, drinking and nibbling there with his head down.

Sting sighed and asked silently, "What are your plans?" I want to know what you really think. ”

Perseus stuffed his mouth with meat, kept pouring wine into his mouth, ate without an image, and even began to make his voice indistinct and hoarse: "I have a daughter, but my people have thousands of daughters. Born into the royal family, everyone must pay for the kingdom, this is our destiny, just like Sulla did 12 years ago. ”

As soon as he heard his late wife's name, Sting's eyes began to redden, he glanced at Lorna in the audience, and nodded lightly: "I can't get Sula back, I'm sorry for Lorna in this life." But you have at least 4 years left. ”

Perseus snorted, and continued to eat and drink without image, as if that would be the way to forget his troubles.

After eating, he wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve, and there were some wet marks on it, and I don't know if it was wine stains or something else...
