There is a fundamental difference between the Holy See and the government:

The former is based on faith, in the heart, on the true protection of the human community by the Holy Light, and on the spiritual sustenance that human beings need in the face of disaster.

The latter is a necessary life, a necessary condition for the formation of a social society in which human beings live, streets, houses, jobs, and salaries, which are the basic conditions that everyone must have if they want to live.

To put it bluntly, the existence of the Holy See depends on the devotion of the faithful, and the existence of the imperial government is that it must exist.

This natural difference has led to the fact that the Holy See does not need to pay too much too much, and the word 'faith' alone can gain an extremely large mass power.

At the same time, it will naturally lead to its foundation only by faith, and can only rely on the heartfelt belief of believers, if one day, mankind does not worship the Holy See, then the Holy See will inevitably perish.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Holy See, the first pope clearly saw this, so the blood prison came into being.

[No person above the Pope has the right to interfere with the operation of the blood prison]

This rule is just as high as the Temple of Light is naturally noble and not bound by the law.

Because faith will make people blind, piety to the extreme, there will be no right or wrong, the blood prison is subordinate to the Holy See, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, as long as it does not affect the normal operation of society, even if the Pope personally comes to fish for people, it is absolutely impossible, even if the Holy Maiden's own mother is locked up here, it will not be affected by any amnesty decree, because this kind of behavior will cause the collapse of faith and shake the foundation of the Holy See.

This also leads to the fact that the higher the status of the person within the Holy See, the lower the influence on the blood prison, if the position of the pope is achieved, then the ability to control the blood prison is basically zero, and if Her Royal Highness wants to go to the blood prison to see a person, it has to go through layers of approval, and if you can give an answer after a month, it is already considered fast.

As for the prisoners in the blood prison, they are naturally the most vicious.

It is the most terrifying place without any hope, cruel, bloody, without any humanity, as long as you step into the blood prison, it means that you lose all your rights as a human being, and according to legend, the first meal of a new prisoner after entering is a red-hot nail.

This statement may have originated from the people's conjecture of fear, but in any case, a mad killer like Godfrey, who had assassinated a dozen clergy, spent two or three days in the blood prison, and then he no longer had any arrogance, completely relented, confessed all his crimes, and left the inquisition department to do whatever he wanted, in order to leave that terrible place.

Erin lowered her head slightly, without much hesitation: "I have money, I have a lot of money, can I do something?" ”

This is a very straightforward statement, a woman like Erin rarely expresses her attitude in front of others in such a clear and non-metaphorical way.

But at this time, she said her biggest reliance without scruples:

"I know that the location of the blood prison seems to be deep in a mountain, I can buy all the facilities around that mountain, the road developer, the ownership of the railroad, sell all the supplies to carry food and drink inside the blood prison, I can pay for every jailer and his family for the next ten years, there is a executioner, he must have a family, a child, I can take care of his children's education for the next few decades, so that his offspring can live a carefree life, I just want him to take care of a prisoner, Anyway, I should be able to do something, right? ”

She said softly.

But these words were heard in Mrs. Hudson's ears, and for some reason there was some resentment:

"What's the use of you having money, that bastard killed the emperor of the empire! At this level, you think you can influence it with money? Not to mention money, in order to save him, I am willing to abandon my status as a Holy See Saint, but it is useless! ”

Mrs. Hudson doesn't know what's so good about that bastard guy and why a woman who pops up out of nowhere cares so much about him and is willing to spend so much money for her, this woman seems to be a little prettier and more mature than herself.

Well, none of that matters, at least not at this time, because the two of them have the same purpose, to get that hateful madman out first, and the rest later.

"The existence of the blood prison is very special, and it is difficult for the personnel of the Holy See to have any influence in it."

"But it's a prison, and if there's a prison, there's someone, and since there's someone, there's definitely something that can affect it!" Erin suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said, she is a businessman, she clearly knows that there must be an intersection between people and society, and the existence of the blood prison is definitely not just for abuse and punishment, it exists for warning, for deterrence, to put it bluntly, or for the stability of human society.

So, there must be someone who can say something.

Even if it is the murderer of the previous emperor.

Thinking of this, Erin was suddenly stunned, raised her head and looked solemnly at Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden in front of her: "You say, can the emperor do something?"

Franklin's first experimental funding was provided by Erin.

His energy lab was funded by Erin.

Even all the expenses of the experiments after that, and even the cost of political campaigning, were funded by Irene.

Then in front of the new emperor of the empire, Erin has plenty of speech capital.

I just don't know what kind of help this new king can give in this incident.

The administrative state of Dilifini, although it is divided into a state territory, but there are not too many cities, the geographical location is in the driest region of the planet, there is not too many people, surrounded by mountains, but there is no mining industry, and in the northwest of this administrative state, there is a nameless mountain range, located in a vast uninhabited land of more than a thousand kilometers.

There is no water, no vegetation, only endless mountains and weathered rocks, and the temperature difference between day and night is 50 degrees, so there are not too many animals that can survive here, and there is a veritable place where birds do not.

And in the midst of this mountain range, an institution that terrifies the people of the entire empire is located.

Blood Prison.

In fact, in the entire empire, not many people know what the blood prison really looks like, after all, there are very few people who are qualified to enter the blood prison and can come out alive to tell what it looks like.

But everyone knew that it was a human purgatory, where there was a punishment that would make normal people tremble at the sound of it, and where the screams had not stopped for decades, and where the smell of blood could break through the thick rocks, making the whole mountain smell of blood.

I don't know if this description is exaggerated, but it undoubtedly has a great deterrent effect.

Somewhere in that nameless mountain range, a high wall of rock and steel stood silently in the scorching sun, and the main body of the blood prison inside had no buildings, it went deep into the mountain range, and only with the help of those natural air circulation, it was necessary to breathe inside, and to get out, either through the only exit, or through the rock wall of the whole mountain range.

On the outside, due to special geomorphological reasons, there is a high temperature of nearly 40 degrees during the day, and the dry breath evaporating in the desert can make the human body surface temperature rise to about 50 degrees, in this extreme environment, it only takes 20 minutes for a person to reach the physiological limit and pass out.

At night, hundreds of kilometers of unsheltered winds can suppress the temperature to minus 15 to 20 degrees, and under this wind, the human skin can not withstand even 10 minutes, and it will quickly lose moisture, and finally lead to dry cracks, peeling, and then extensive frostbite and ulceration, and finally death.

Therefore, there is hardly any need for security here, and even during the second demon invasion, few demons survived in this barren land, and there are still many demon remains under the burial of those wind and sand.

At this moment, it was ten o'clock in the night, and the heat that had accumulated throughout the day was quickly carried away by the strong wind in half an hour, leaving only the cold that quickly decreased.

Inside the blood cell, in an overly spacious and empty area, some prisoners were eating.

They are so calm, or so lifeless, that they even eat mechanically chewing and swallowing, maybe they don't want to do it, but they don't dare not do it, and even if they eat slowly, they can't eat, and they will suffer the most terrible punishment.

That's how it is here, even the most basic requirements for food and water are full of despair

And that's when .

"When the long grow~~"

There was a sound of chains dragging on the ground, and all the prisoners who were eating jerked their heads up and looked in the shadows.

There was horror in his eyes.
