Kino was recruited by Perseus at this time, and it was most likely related to the Scarlet Church. I don't know what Perseus and the Archbishop had been talking about all night in the past two days.

Lorna seemed to have thought of something and stuck her head out and asked: "Have I been drafted?"

"No." The imperial guard shook his head.

Lorna scratched her head and said with a depressed look on her face: "This, this, this, this, this, is wrong! I am the prince now! If you want to discuss some important matters in the kingdom, you should take me with you."

Solandel was amused: "Okay, let Kino do the business. Nana, why don't you accompany me to show Mimolo around the palace?"

Lorna didn't want to play with this ugly fat man at all. She didn't want to say anything else. His fat, tumor-like face made him look bad no matter how beautiful the scenery was. She originally wanted to eat something, but she lost all her appetite when she saw his face.

.

But Lorna couldn't leave Solandel alone, so she came over to hold her hand, protected her behind her, and said to Mimolo with a strong face: "You can play with us, but you

Don't get too close to Solan, if you touch her casually, I will throw you into the warm water lake!"

"No, no, no, I won't touch her. I'll just follow you. When you get tired from walking, just take me to eat something delicious." Mimolo kept waving his hands, his expression almost innocent.

Honest person has the word "honest" written all over his face.

With Lorna here and being summoned by Perseus, Kino did not stay long and left with the royal guards.

Arriving at the palace hall, Kino found that the place had been put under martial law, and royal guards were guarding all entrances and exits. There was a dignified atmosphere like the previous plenary meeting.

Along the way, Kino didn't see anyone from the Scarlet Church again, presumably because the summit meeting between the two parties had ended.

Walking into the main hall, walking through the corridor, and entering the royal conference room, Kino discovered that the level of this meeting was really high. In addition to the leader of the Dagon family who was far away in the "Sea of ​​Broken Moon", there were also other people who were unable to return in time due to military affairs.

Sting and Bolton from the royal city, as well as other high-ranking rulers of the kingdom, are among them.

King Perseus, the king's left hand Lan Xian, the chief spiritualist Horned Heron, the leader of Troy Edward, the second prince Andre, the royal bachelor and minister of law Yuan Wen, and nine people including the finance minister Baldian.

The royal prince Kino is considered the smallest among these people.

Through careful observation, Kino discovered that there were some fragments left on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up. Judging from the color, they should be ceramic slag. Looking at the table, only the saucer was left on the tea cup in front of Perseus, and the cup was gone.

It seems that Perseus just lost his temper and smashed the cup.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very silent. Judging from the erratic looks in other people's eyes, no one knew what Perseus' intention was in convening everyone this time, nor what he had discussed in his previous meeting with the Archbishop. The dignified king was actually

I was so angry that I smashed the cup.

"Sit." Perseus' voice was hoarse, and he said this to Kino.

Kino sat down on the last empty seat, which meant that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived.

Perseus slowly raised his head, and after Kino saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Of the three children of Perseus, except for the battle-hardened Bolton who looks rough, Andre is a standard handsome man, and Solandel has an angel-like appearance. From this, it can be imagined that Perseus was definitely a beauty when he was young.

He is so charming that even though he is now middle-aged, his heroic spirit is still compelling.

But now, the once heroic king has thin cheeks, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes are bloodshot. It seems that even his hair has turned white. I don't know what stimulation caused him to look like this.

Perseus was haggard, but his majesty as a king was not diminished. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said in a deep voice: "With so many people gathered here, you must be prepared in your hearts. I have a

Very bad news to tell everyone.”

"Doguland is facing catastrophe."

Even the high-ranking rulers who were used to seeing big winds and waves couldn't help but gasp when they heard Perseus's words.

Doguland is facing annihilation?!

Since the "Laurel War", the kingdom has been stumbling. Although it is far from its peak national power, all fields are recovering.

What happened now to make Perseus, who had personally experienced the "Laurel War", say such a thing?!

As the king's right-hand man, Lan Xian took the lead in speaking out: "His Majesty, please speak clearly and let us share your worries."

Perseus put his hand on his forehead and said silently: "As you all know, the Archbishop of the Scarlet Church came to me overnight a few days ago. I initially thought he wanted to put forward some conditions, or to further discuss the marriage with my daughter.

But after the conversation, I learned a piece of news that can be called a disaster from him."

"The "purifying blood" cannot be produced."

Everyone was immediately shocked, especially Edward, whose face turned pale.

27 years ago, before the "Laurel War" broke out, a lycanthropic disease broke out in Doguland. The cause is still unknown.

This zoonosis can be spread through the air and is extremely contagious. Once you get close to an infected person without protective equipment, you may be infected.

Unlike the deadly plague, those infected by the zoonosis will not die from the disease. Their body parts will show signs of lycanthropy. While their whole body will be deformed, their sanity will also be eroded.

If left alone, the infected person will deform into a "pest beast" in the later stage, a terrifying creature that is highly contagious, has no remaining sanity, cannot control its behavior independently, and kills all life around it indiscriminately.

Later, there were two things that brought the lycanthropic epidemic under control. One was the "salt crystals" refined by the alchemists of the Hutch family, which could temporarily block the spread of the disease after being sown on infected people or in epidemic areas.

The second thing, which is also the key to completely controlling the lycanthropy disease, is the blood therapy of the Scarlet Church and its necessary "blood of purification".

Infected people injected with purifying blood will temporarily suppress the lycanthropic factors in their bodies, making them lose their infectivity and be able to live like normal people.

High-grade purifying blood can even strengthen the beast transformation factor while suppressing its original restlessness, allowing the infected to independently control the power of beast transformation without losing control or becoming a source of infection. This is the Trojan Family Epidemic.

The Origin of Beast Warriors.

The plague beast warriors of the Trojan family, including the leader Edward himself, are essentially infected with the beast-turned-disease. It is precisely because of the existence of high-level purifying blood that they can live like ordinary people and turn into gargoyles in the war.

A pestilent beast like a meat machine.

In the past 27 years, perhaps because the blood of purification has existed for too long, it has become a very common item in the Kingdom of Doguland, just like firewood, rice, oil, and salt. It is used by everyone from the royal family of Troy to the lowest civilian infected.

The purifying blood, no one thought it would suddenly disappear.

But now, Perseus actually said that the purified blood cannot be produced?!
