Hearing this, Edward's forehead was already overflowing with cold sweat, and he almost roared: "What's the matter?!" The Crimson Church is coercing the blood of purification to demand more political benefits?! ”

Pertheus shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not coercion, but more terrible than coercion." It's not that the Crimson Church has purifying blood and deliberately can't get it, but it can't produce it at all. ”

"Can't produce it," Edward muttered, asking in dismay, "Didn't they promise that they could provide purified blood for a long time, so why did they suddenly say they couldn't produce it?" ”

A self-deprecating look appeared on Pertheus's face: "You must not have imagined that the fact that the Purifying Blood could not be produced would be involved with another person who seems to have nothing to do with it. ”

Pertheus's gaze fell on Chino, and he said two words solemnly: "Po." ”

Chino frowned, not quite understanding how Po could be involved with the purifying blood of the Crimson Church.

The muscles on Percius's face twitched, and anger burned in his eyes: "It was also after communicating with the archbishop this time that I learned that in the production process of purified blood, there is a necessary medicinal herb, called "Blood Essence Grass". ”

"Blood essence grass is one of the treasures of heaven and earth, growing in the land of flowers and languages like spring all year round, and it is a specialty of the Far Eastern Dynasty, which can be used for some martial artists to cultivate.

"But to us, the Blood Essence Herb is not an ingredient for any potion recipe, and it has no health benefits, so it is not a commodity in the kingdom."

Persius said this, his fists clenched: "In other words, these people in the Crimson Church have been privately trading with the Far Eastern Dynasty, buying blood essence grass in large quantities for the production of purified blood, and out of the principle of secrecy of the Special Asylum Law of the Church, they have not told us about it, and I have been kept in the dark. ”

Lan Xian frowned suspiciously: "So, the birth of the Purified Blood is due to the lack of Blood Essence Grass?" Then wouldn't it be okay for us to purchase a lot of money from the Far Eastern Dynasty through the Bao caravan? ”

Pertheus sneered with sarcasm, and glanced at Chino, intentionally or unintentionally: "Let him tell you." ”

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

Persius had secretly entrusted Chino, Edward, and Resahar to deal with Po's affairs, but in order to avoid leaking the news, he did not disclose it to the other ministers.

Until now, everyone knew that this giant businessman wearing a three-clawed golden dragon robe was actually dead!

While everyone was stunned, Lan Xian subconsciously said, "So, Blood Essence Grass..."

Perseus said solemnly: "Ah Bao is the person in charge of the trade with the Crimson Church in the Far East, and after his death, the imperial court fully recovered control of the Ah Bao caravan, and broke off all transactions between the caravan and Dogulander, including their agreement with the Crimson Church for the supply of purified blood. ”

"The archbishop came to me the other day and was forced to disclose it. Without the necessary ingredient of the Blood Essence Grass, the Crimson Church could no longer produce purified blood. The archbishop told me that with the purified blood reserves that have been produced so far, it will last for another four months at most..."

"After those four months, if the supply of blood essence grass can't be restored..."Lan Xian realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was a little afraid to say it.

Pertheus's face was as gloomy as water, and he said what Lan Xian did not dare to say: "The bestial plague will break out again in Dogulander. ”

...

Doctors have long been helpless against bestial diseases, and there are ways to suppress or interrupt the transmission, but there is no cure.

This means that once you are infected with the zoonic plague, you will always be infected.

Since the outbreak of the animal plague, the number of infected people in the kingdom is incalculable, and even after war, uncontrolled erasure, etc., there are now millions of infected people in Dogulland.

Except for the plague beast warriors of the Trojan family, the other infected people are scattered and locked up in the epidemic areas in various places, and those who have the money to buy purified blood pressure system infectious can live in the upper epidemic areas, except for the range of activities is limited to a certain extent, and they need to report to the local defenders regularly, and they are no different from ordinary people in other aspects, and they can live freely.

Those who have no money to buy purified blood can only be imprisoned in the lower plague area, which is a terrible hell, and those who cannot suppress the beast factor will be imprisoned, their spirits twisted, their limbs distorted, until they become uncontrollable plague beasts.

In the lower affected areas, every piece of air is filled with infectious agents, and outsiders must wear full protective clothing and apply salt crystals to all areas that may come into contact with the air to prevent infection.

And those plague beasts in the cage will become experimental samples, used by alchemists to study, test drugs day after day, or vivisection, and become a "cornerstone" on the road to exploring the cure of the beast plague.

To be sure, the lowest grade of purified blood was not expensive, the course of treatment was once a month, and the price was 160 iron moons, which most civilian families could afford.

This purified blood is also one of the cornerstones of the kingdom's stability, giving most of the civilian infected a way to survive and maintain their basic lives in the upper affected areas, or at least live as individuals.

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

Once the bestiality disease returns, the situation will be completely out of control, and as Persius said, Doguland will be wiped out.

If the kingdom's higher-ups let it go, it means that they will face millions of twisted and manic plague beasts, as well as newly infected people who have been infected by the outbreak of the bestiality epidemic.

Even if we can take out the momentum of war and send troops to wipe it out, the number of plague beasts is still too large, and even if we can win, the national strength will be weakened.

If an iron-fisted policy is adopted, all the millions of infected people in the upper and lower epidemic areas are executed in advance and burned on the spot, which can eliminate the hidden danger of animal plague in one fell swoop, and even get rid of the coercion of the Scarlet Church.

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

Millions of infected people are behind millions of families, and if they are gathered in one city, they are scattered all over the kingdom, and the network of relationships that extends is incalculable.

If all of these infected people were to be executed, would their relatives be able to agree?

My father, my mother, my children, my brothers... Just because he was infected with an incurable disease, he was executed for no reason.

As long as this kind of policy is implemented, the masses in various localities will inevitably be aroused and popular unrest will be born.

And then there's the Trojans...

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

Once the people of Trojan lose control due to the loss of purified blood, especially a high-order plague beast warrior like Edward, the destructive power is unimaginable.

Now, with Doguland in a dead end, in a dilemma, it's no wonder Perseus is haggard like that.
