Chapter 239: It's Not Medicine, It's Poison!
Watching Xia Yan's true body rise up, the black mist that immediately dissipated.
Father Rhodes smiled.
As a priest, he actually did not have a high status in the whole Church, and he could not have used the purifying light of the Church.
But inside the church it's different.
The church is filled with the gifts of God, and he, as a priest, can also use the purifying light in it.
When the purifying light was used, Father Rhodes was relieved.
Purifying the Holy Light can purify the Black Death, but the powerful purification power will also purify people into the most innocent, innocent and innocent children, which is roughly equivalent to a baby not long after birth.
"Sun and Moon"
In other words, a person who has been purified will become a complete fool, and may not even be able to cry.
It is better not to kill than to kill.
It was only in the next second that the smile on Father Rhodes' face disappeared.
He watched in amazement as Xia Yanzhen walked out of the dissipated holy light, the black aura completely disappeared, but the person did not become a fool who could only drool.
"No, it's the Black Death on your clothes, and no one else gets it!"
Father Rhodes discovered the anomaly.
He saw Xia Yanzhen come in and suddenly ordered to kill someone, because in the church, as a priest, he saw a trace of black aura lingering on his body.
It was the embodiment of the Black Death, which would surround the dead body.
Some objects contaminated with the poison of the Black Death will also have such black gases.
This filth is hidden under the divine power of the church.
A man with the Black Death was invited to church?
Father Rhodes naturally didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered him to be killed.
But I don't want to, people don't get the Black Death, but their clothes are stained with some Black Death poison.
As long as you don't get in close contact with her clothes, there is no danger.
However, the point is not whether the poison of the Black Death was clothing or a person, but why this person was unscathed by the purifying light!
Could it be that he is the most devout believer in the gods?
Xia Yanzhen couldn't see the Purifying Holy Light, and he walked up to the surprised Father Rod.
Fr. Rhodes couldn't help but take a few steps back and crashed into the high platform with the cross in his hand, still holding the Bible of the church.
Immediately afterwards, Father Rhodes gritted his teeth, turned into a battle priest, and smashed the thick Bible in his hand on Xia Yanzhen's head.
was snatched by Xia Yanzhen and smashed back.
"Ouch!"
Father Rhodes was a man over fifty years old, an old man in the dark Middle Ages.
was smashed like this, fell directly to the ground, and couldn't get up at all.
The Power of the Bible!
He could only reluctantly aim at Xia Yanzhen with a cross, muttering something in his mouth, doing futile self-comfort.
Xia Yanzhen looked at Rod condescendingly: "Don't read it, I have some questions I want to ask you." β
"Who are you?" Fr. Rhodes was inward-looking, "The church will not let you go!" β
"Alright, alright." Xia Yanzhen said, "You are the one who invited me in, and you are the one who shouts and kills, and you are the one who can't beat the cruel words in the end, don't you feel ashamed when you are old?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Father Rhodes was speechless, his face flushed.
"I'm actually just asking if the church should have a cure for the Black Death, right?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Father Rod's answer was not an answer: "So you are a knight of the lord!" β
"What do you mean?" Xia Yan was really interested.
"You're not a knight?" Father Rhodes was a little strange.
"Do you think I should be?" Xia Yanzhen asked rhetorically.
In this Middle Ages, there was a transcendent power controlled by human beings, which was divided into two systemsβthe church system and the lord knight system.
Joining the Church gives you access to supernatural powers.
Loyalty to a lord (king) becomes a knight and also gains supernatural powers.
Knights who are loyal to them often have a powerful body far beyond ordinary people, and when they wear heavy armor, they are mobile fortresses and ten thousand enemies.
The Church also has its own Order of the Red Cross.
The people who bury the institution can also be classified as the "dark knights" of the church, which are different from the red knights.
Both the Church Knights and the Lordship Knights were resistant to the Black Death.
The probability of getting the disease is low, and the survival time after getting the disease is longer.
If it was an ordinary person, like Xia Yanzhen, who had close contact with items contaminated with the poison of the Black Death, he would have been sick a long time ago.
So, this man is a knight!
"Who are you loyal to? Does he have a grudge against the church? "There is no grudge that cannot be resolved β in the face of life." β
A knight must be loyal to his master (liege) in order to have power.
Father Rhodes believed that Xia Yan was really a knight under the command of a certain lord.
I am afraid that the lord has contracted the Black Death, and because he has a grudge against the church, he will not be treated by the church, so he will take risks.
"I'm not a knight." Xia Yanzhen didn't mean to pretend to fool people, and directly identified himself, "I'm just the son of a blacksmith, just came out of the outbreak area, and came here to find a cure for the Black Death. β
"Impossible!"
How could Father Rhodes accept something more than he knew?
"Nothing is impossible." Xia Yanzhen said, "The person who those guards said just now is me. β
Father Rhodes Tong Kong earthquake, is it really a blacksmith's son?
What the hell is going on?
Knight power is not inherited through blood, and if you want to gain power, you must be loyal!
It's an iron law!
"Okay, I think I'm gentle enough, if you still want to consume my patience......" Xia Yanzhen looked at the two men who got up and slowly approached, like hunters.
"Wait."
Father Rhodes, looking at Xia Yanzhen's face hidden under the endless vortex, his heart was for a while.
This man gave him the feeling of being an outlaw.
There weren't many such outlaws before.
But now we are in the tenth year of the Black Death, and the church is getting stronger and stronger, and the world is becoming more and more chaotic.
In troubled times, there are more and more outlaws who dare to be enemies of the church.
Father Rhodes didn't want to test this man's patience with his own life, he had a great future ahead of him, and the bishop could look forward to it.
"Stand down, and I'll have a good talk with the blacksmith's son." Fr. Rhodes made a quick decision.
The two burial traps of the Ravens (the official name for the interior) retreat.
"Let's go, let's change places." Father Rhodes slowly got to his feet, a pained expression on his face.
His old waist fell not lightly this time.
Taking Xia Yanzhen into a small room inside the church, Father Rhodes asked, "What do you want?" β
"Why do you say I'm a knight?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Father Rhodes stared at Xia Yanzhen, this person really didn't act like a disguise.
Without asking any more nonsense, Father Rhodes briefly talked about the knightly system.
"I see." Xia Yanzhen nodded, it was not surprising that there was an extraordinary system in this world.
However, if it is an ordinary Black Death and an ordinary Western medieval background, it may not be less difficult.
After all, with the medical technology of the time, there was no cure for the Black Death.
"And does your church have a cure for the Black Death?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Father Rhodes shook his head and nodded: "Thorough treatment, full recovery, not now, may be possible in the future." But there are ways for the church to prevent and contain. β
Xia Yanzhen didn't speak.
Can it be prevented and contained, but not completely treated?
Is this really the case, or is it an opportunity for the church to expand its power?
Anyway, now the church is the first in the world, and the monarchy is divinely granted.
More and more people only recognize priests and bishops, but do not know city lords and lords.
Xia Yanzhen believes that whether it is true or false, the current situation is definitely what the church wants to see.
"How is it treated?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Instead of answering, Fr. Rhodes asked, "Did you ask for yourself, or for someone else?" β
"My family is dead." Xia Yanzhen said, "It's all said that I came out of the outbreak area. β
ββ¦β¦ Indeed, you have the Black Death. Father Rhodes began to flicker, "That's why I attacked you just now. I don't want a dead body in the church. β
"What is a dead body?" Xia Yan really heard the pedestrian shout.
What exactly it is, the identity information is not given.
Father Rhodes explained what a dead body is, and that this thing and the knightly system are not secret.
If you have the heart to ask, you will be able to know.
There is nothing to hide.
Strictly speaking, the people who got the Black Death were only patients, and those who got up after death were dead bodies.
To call a sick person a dead body is to miscommunicate and falsely spread the truth.
"Can you tell I have the Black Death?"
Xia Yanzhen looked at Father Rhodes and returned to the previous question.
"Well, in the church, everything that does not belong to God will be hidden." "If you want to live, you have to bask in the glory of God." β
"You want me to join the church?" Xia Yanzhen could hear the sound outside the strings.
"Hmph." Father Rhodes snorted and said haughtily, "How easy is it to join the Church?" But I can let you enter the guard first, and then actually join the church in the future, it's not impossible. β
"Can you be healed by the church if you enter the guard?"
"Other people look at the situation, your words, I can call the shots and treat you." Fr. Rhodes said.
"Treat first." Xia Yanzhen said.
Father Rhodes stared at Xia Yanzhen for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll go get the medicine." β
Stand up and open the other door and go deeper.
After a while, Father Rhodes came out with a small bottle, and he handed the bottle to Xia Yanzhen: "If you drink it, you can curb the Black Death." However, if you use it for the first time, you will feel uncomfortable, and even have obvious symptoms of the Black Death, and when the medical team comes back in a few days, you can be fully treated, and then you can extend your life for half a month. β
Xia Yanzhen looked at the small bottle in his hand.
This thing is a prop - what's inside is a prop:
γLiquid of the Black Deathγ
[The blood extracted from the Black Death patient, after continuous refining, extraction, purification and change, is no longer transmissible, but it still contains the power of the Black Death. It only takes one drop, and after entering the human body, it can make people suffer from the Black Death, which can break out quickly in a short time. γ
[Because the Black Death infected by this substance is also not transmissible.] γ
This thing isn't medicine, it's poison!
