"Huh--" The candle light lit up, illuminating the surrounding quaint stone walls.

This is a secret room in the palace that has not been used for a long time and has long been forgotten. At this time, it is holding a person with an advanced status, or in other words, a person with an advanced status.

Kino sat down on the chair in front of the table, looked at the old man in front of him and said, "I don't know your name yet, or do you still want me to call you 'Archbishop'?"

The person imprisoned here is none other than the powerful Archbishop of the Scarlet Church who once controlled the lifeline of the kingdom with blood therapy.

The Archbishop has always been a commoner, and he was not in trouble when he was secretly detained after the decisive battle in the royal city, so his appearance looks the same as usual, but his weathered eyes are full of tiredness and have long lost their former glory.

"Names are just secular things. You are the winner now and can choose any name you want." The archbishop's eyes slightly shifted from Kino's face, staring at the space behind him and said, "Where is that monster girl?

?Not with you?"

The time limit for the summons has come and Fitch has returned to the world of gluttony, so Kino calmly replied: "Back to the place where she belongs."

"What on earth is she?" Bitterness appeared on the archbishop's weather-beaten face, and he looked at Kino's face in the candlelight faintly, "Or should I ask, what on earth are you...?"

In front of Kino's eyes, a scarlet warning appeared on the triple shackles interface.

The Supreme Being forbids those who refuse to directly disclose reincarnation information to people in the native world, so Chino shook his head and said: "Believe me, I am now happy to have an in-depth discussion with you on this topic.

, but for some reasons, I can’t tell you.”

The Archbishop did not pursue the question further and silently changed the subject: "The Scarlet Church has been destroyed by you, what are you going to do next? There are hundreds of thousands of people infected with the zoonosis in the kingdom."

"Remember that I told you at this year's New Year's banquet that I would give you a big surprise -" Kino said with a smile, "I have developed a medicine to cure the disease of lycanthropy."

Surprisingly, the Archbishop did not show any surprise, and seemed to have already expected the answer: "By studying that monster girl, right?"

"You seem to have a deep understanding of her... and the beings with the same origin as her." Kino leaned forward slightly and looked directly into the eyes of the Archbishop, as if he wanted to look into his heart to find the answer, "That creature

―You know what I’m talking about, that creature you hid in the ancient temple in the far north that can gain power by devouring others, how did you create it?”

"How was it created?" The Archbishop showed an unspeakable bitter smile, "You have a big misunderstanding of me. I am just a mortal, how can I create a creature that transcends known laws?"

Kino: "What do you mean?..."

The archbishop's eyes were distracted, as if he was lost in memories, and he slowly recounted his story: "I used to be a wandering doctor. I traveled around the world to treat illnesses and save people, and I went to many places in the world."

"More than thirty years ago,

I was traveling and practicing medicine in the Far Eastern Dynasty, and during this period I got lost in the ancient mountains and accidentally entered an isolated mountain village."

"I consider myself proficient in Far Eastern languages, but I can't understand what the villagers there say. It seems to be some kind of rare method.

Because of the language barrier, it was difficult for me and them to communicate normally, but with the most basic sign language, I managed to stay overnight."

"While living there, I discovered a very strange thing. Every household in the villagers did not get sick. When they were injured while working, the wounds healed much faster than normal people."

"Moreover, that mountain village has strange beliefs. The totems they worship are not recorded in any books. They are like some unknown gods. When they hold sacrificial rituals, they will eat a strange kind of meat. That

The seed meat is black like rottenness, but it doesn’t have any peculiar smell.”

"I was pretty sure that kind of meat did not come from wild animals. The desire to explore caused by the unknown aroused my curiosity. I pretended to leave the village, but actually secretly followed their village chief, and finally found that kind of meat in a primitive cave.

The source of dark meat..."

Hearing this, Kino could already predict the result: "It comes from the kind of creature we are talking about."

The Archbishop nodded: "It was still very young at that time, only as big as a puppy, but it has already shown extremely terrifying characteristics - if you scratch it with a knife, the wound will heal instantly as before, even if you cut off pieces of flesh.

, it will grow back directly. Perhaps this scene reminded the villagers of the immortality technique in ancient books, and they enshrined it as a god."

"The existence of this creature also aroused my curiosity. I thought that if I could use its characteristics to make medicine, I might be able to create a medicine that can cure all diseases, so I took the creature away during the dark night.

into the cave."

"The villagers sent out the next day

Now that the 'god' has disappeared, I'm looking around like crazy. They are following my trail and I can only try my best to escape... The next day after the chase, something terrible happened."

"Several villagers caught up with me. Their appearance was more terrifying than any cancer patients I had ever seen. Their bodies were riddled with holes and bleeding like a sieve. They struggled to reach out to me, and some

He rushed over and tried to gnaw the creature I took away with his mouth."

"I was so frightened that I broke free and continued to run away. They were crying desperately, and they were still speaking in a dialect that I couldn't understand. They repeated it back and forth, as if they were saying the same words."

"After I escaped from the mountains, I took the creature across the desert and returned to my hometown in the Kingdom of Doguland, and used my medical knowledge to start research on the creature."

"The deeper the research, the more terrifying I feel about the existence of that creature. Every piece of its flesh and blood has infinite vitality. uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com It can continue to survive after being separated from the body, and even has independent consciousness.

Parasitism within the body of other organisms.”

"I once saw with my own eyes that an experimental rat swallowed a small piece of its flesh and blood, and then its appetite became extremely huge. It could eat dozens or even hundreds of times its own body weight in food in a day, and it was very harmful to the original flesh and blood of that creature.

Having abnormal desires.”

"Once the feeding is stopped, the rats will bleed all over their bodies, fester from the inside out, and be eaten back by the parasitic flesh and blood in their bodies. This is also the reason why the villagers were desperate at the beginning. From the first bite they took of that creature, it has become

Its slave."

"Later on, all this started to give me nightmares.

In the dream, I kept dreaming about the scene when I was in the mountain village, and it suddenly occurred to me that the villagers were shouting the same words when they were holding sacrifices feverishly, and when I was crying in despair after I escaped."

"I visited many people from the Far East and finally got the answer from a senior linguist. Those villagers did not speak a dialect, but an ancient language thousands of years ago, when the Sun King existed."

"And that word that keeps appearing in the mouths of the villagers means-" The archbishop's eyes flickered strangely in the candlelight, and he faintly said two words...

"Gluttony."
