Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, a new blood therapy plan?! What does this mean? They pricked up their ears and waited for the next step.

"In the past, blood therapy could only be used on those infected with bestial diseases, suppressing their signs of bestiality and infectiousness. And now, we've found new blood therapy agents that can be used directly on uninfected people, giving them the ability to permanently immune to infection! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and after a short period of dead silence, exclamations erupted, and a minister couldn't help but ask: "Permanent immune infection?" You mean, as long as ordinary people are treated with this new type of blood therapy, they will not be eroded by the epidemic even if they come into direct contact with people infected with the animal plague? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what it means." "We may not be able to completely cure the bestiality now, but as long as this new blood treatment protocol is implemented, there will be no new infected people in Doguland."

"The number of infected people will no longer increase, and the once infected people will slowly grow old and die due to the passage of time, and the number of infected people will one day be zero, and we will use this method to defeat the animal plague that has plagued the kingdom for decades!"

Heated discussions rang out everywhere, and everyone was whispering to the people around them, obviously the news was too shocking, if what the archbishop said was true, maybe in a few decades there would be no more animal plague in Doguland!

The minister then asked a crucial question: "How much does this new blood therapy cost?" If you want to use it for the entire kingdom, how much will it cost each person? ”

The archbishop smiled slightly, revealing his shoddy clothes: "The Crimson Church exists to defeat the beast plague and save the vast number of beings. The fees we charged in the blood therapy were to offset the cost of research and to maintain daily expenses, and the rest of the monthly coins were all sealed in the treasury, and none of the congregants used them for personal gain. ”

"Blood heals have taken so much wealth from the people over the years, and now, it's time to give them all back to the people - as long as His Majesty the King approves it, the new blood heals will be released in the form of a great charity, and all the costs will be borne by the Crimson Church, and the people will not be charged a single monthly coin!"

The news was so shocking that it caused everyone to fall into an uproar.

After so many years of the Crimson Cult's existence, the amount of money they have made from blood healing is incalculable, and many people feel that they are consolidating their influence in Dogurand and hoping to gain political status through it.

But if the things announced by the archbishop are really properly implemented, after many years, there will be no more animal plagues in the kingdom, and all the wealth taken from the people will be returned to the people, and the family funds accumulated by the Crimson Church over the years and the bargaining chips with the kingdom will all be reduced to nothingness.

If that were the case, the Crimson entity might cease to exist, but their dedication would go down in history, and it would not be an exaggeration to call the archbishop who led it all saints, whose name would forever be sung by the troubadours.

Just when everyone was respectful of the news and exchanged their heads with each other, at the table of the new royal family "Helsin Family", Lu Ge knocked on the melon seeds and sneered: "I don't think this cub has a good heart." My lord, what do you say? I'm going to make a fool of him again? ”

With the usual smile on his face, Chino looked at the archbishop on the stage with a playful gaze: "Don't make a sound, let him continue his performance." ”

The archbishop bowed his head to Perseus and his ministers: "Now that I have said what I have to say, let me make this good news, and the hope of defeating the beast plague, a New Year's message from the Crimson Church, and a birthday present to the Nine Princesses." ”

After speaking, the archbishop slowly stepped down and left with the accompanying congregation.

As the Archbishop walked past the Helsing's table, Chino's smile rang out: "The victory over the beast plague is the contribution of the gods in mortal bodies, and you have really surprised everyone. ”

The archbishop didn't look back at Chino, his eyes full of indifference and looked straight ahead: "I hope this surprise will delight you, Lord Twilight Death." ”

"You should be the one who should be happy." The corners of Chino's lips curled dangerously, and his amber pupils filled with a smile, "I'll give you a big surprise after a while." ”

The archbishop did not respond to Chino, and he and his congregation walked out of the temple gate and disappeared into the snow outside.

After the archbishop left, the whispers of the ministers slowly died down, and everyone looked up at Pertheus on the throne, waiting for his reaction to the matter.

Pertheus's face was very flat, and as a king of the city, it was impossible for him to read his inner thoughts from his expression, whether it was surprise or doubt.

After a moment of silence, Perseus smiled faintly and sighed, "What amazing news, I was going to announce something at tonight's banquet, but compared to the news from the Crimson Church, what I am going to announce seems to be nothing new." ”

Pertheus was clearly diverting the subject, not wanting to talk too much about the new blood therapy proposed by the archbishop.

Lan Xian has served the king for so many years as the king's right hand, and he also has a good grasp of Perseus's thoughts, so he took the opportunity to pick up the topic: "Your Majesty, the king's words are not trivial, as long as they come from your mouth, we will definitely listen to them." ”

Persius propped his face with his palm and asked, "Lan Xian, you are the most knowledgeable of all the people, I have a question - do you know what the average life expectancy of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Doguland is?" ”

Lan Xian didn't think twice: "Back to Your Majesty, you are 55 years old. ”

"Well, 55 years old," Perseus sighed and said slowly, "After the New Year, I will be 59 years old, which is already over the average life expectancy. To put it mildly, even if I suddenly die of illness in the future, it is a reasonable thing. ”

The ministers were frightened by this, and Lan Xian also said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the New Year is a festive season, please don't say such unlucky words..."

Perseus smiled briefly: "Yes, yes, no, no, why do you need to look at the season?" For example, my father, isn't he violently ill in office? He died a few years younger than I am now. ”

The ministers did not know what these words meant, and they did not dare to answer rashly, for fear of committing any taboos, so they could only remain silent one by one.

Pertheus continued: "If a king dies, his descendants will judge him for his merits and demerits. Whether I, the "Twenty-fourth Emperor of Doguland", am a master or a tyrant, I will not ask you this, and if you do, you will not speak your heart. Only when I die, will my merits and demerits be judged by future generations. ”

"There's nothing wrong with dying, after death, you're light, you're no longer entangled in official business, you're exhausted, and you have enough time to sleep. In fact, I have been thinking that if death really comes to me one day, I will accept it calmly and settle down. ”

"There's just a few things I can't worry about... Not only me, but you must not be reassured, it is a question that will eventually come, and it cannot be avoided-"

Persius reflected the ministers in his eyes, and a loud voice resounded through the hall: "Who will be the next king after me?" ”

No one thought that Perseus would actually poke out the crown prince at the New Year's banquet without warning, and the ministers' faces changed several times, no one dared to speak, and subconsciously focused their eyes on the prince and princess at the front table.

Faced with such a sensitive issue as the crown prince, Andre, Burton, and Solandale were also at a loss, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to move.

Perseus beckoned to the three children, motioned for them to come to the stage, sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, it is really difficult to be a father, and you have to pay attention to your children at all times. If the child is not good, you have to bother, and if the child is too good, you have to bother. ”

"Like me, I'm bothered right now. Tell me, my three children are so good, who do you want me to choose for the crown prince? ”

There was no other sound in the hall except for Pertheus's echo, and the ministers did not dare to speak just now, and now they did not dare to speak up, and the same was true of the three candidates who were put out.

"Smack." Perseus clapped his hands vigorously, causing everyone to tremble, he broke the dead silence of the scene and smiled angrily: "What's wrong? Why do you all keep your heads down? Hurry up and say a few words, otherwise what's the point of me singing a one-man show alone? ”

Lan Xian hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the matter of the crown prince is too sensitive, and it has always been decided by the former king himself, we must obey Your Majesty's will and dare not express any opinions." ”

Persius frowned and looked at Lan Xian with a disgusted gaze: "Look, reading too many books is pedantic. If the kings did that, do I have to do that? Is it true that this has always been the case? ”

"Throughout the history of the founding of the country of Doguland, this land has produced both masters and tyrants. The Lord has always listened to all directions, has his own judgment, and is willing to accept the opinions of others. Tyrants, on the other hand, without exception, exclude dissidents and act arbitrarily. ”

"I am the king, the ruler of Doguland, and all the ministers here. I don't care if future generations will say I'm a tyrant, at least I don't want to be a tyrant. ”

"Therefore, the more critical the national event, the more the prince and the ministers must discuss it, and for things like the crown prince that will affect the next few decades or even hundreds of years, I have to take into account the opinions of all parties, rather than appointing whoever I want based on my personal preferences."

"To be honest, I'm lucky that there have been many kings in history who didn't have good heirs and had to pick from a pile of rotten wood that was relatively less rotten. But each of my three children has the temperament of a crown prince. ”

Pertheus got up and came to Andrei's side, stretched out his hand to put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Take Andre as an example, he has been intelligent since he was a child, he knows everything about government affairs, he can sit in meetings at a very young age, and he has been assisting me since he was an adult, and some things are handled more easily than me. ”

"Andrei's nickname among the people, I think everyone has heard of it - Prince Ci. Looking at the 24 kings since the founding of Dogulander, how many of them can be named 'compassion'? If such an excellent prince is made the crown prince and crowned and succeeded to the throne in the future, all the people must cheer. ”

Andrei looked flattered, and stood there with his leans over, muttering, "Father's reputation... My father is too famous..."

After Persius finished speaking, he walked up to Bolton again, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Let's talk about the boy Bolton that I am proud of, an out-and-out general in the army, who guards the country for his father all the year round, is chivalrous and courageous, full of blood, and I don't know how many great military exploits there are before and after him, and is admired by countless soldiers. ”

"If Bolton inherits my position, not to mention other aspects, at least in terms of military and military affairs, everyone can sit back and relax, the entire territory of the kingdom will be as stable as a rock, and whoever dares to offend the majesty of the laurel must have no return!"

Bolton's personality was more upright and less restrained, and now he was praised by his father, and the joy on his face could not be hidden, and he hammered his heart and saluted Pertheus.

Finally, Perseus walked up to Solandelle, crouched down and took her into his arms, and said in a doting tone: "Ah~ And my little daughter! As smart and clever as her second brother, and as strategizing as her seventh brother, she first solved the big case of Danyu City's greed for ink, and then commanded the remnants of the frozen fortress to complete the evacuation of thousands of miles, and she was able to write and martial arts! Such a wonderful child is a gift from the gods. ”

"Although the 24 kings since the founding of the country have all been men, and there has never been a queen, isn't history sometimes used to break? There is no law that says that the crown can only be worn by men, not women. ”

Perseus took Andre, Burton, and Solandale by the hands, folded them together, and said earnestly: "The greatest wish of my father's life is that the three of you are safe and harmonious, and don't listen to the rumors outside, saying that being born in the royal family is a curse, doomed to cannibalism, and so on." ”

"You are all my proud children, all of them are rare talents in Dogurland, no matter who is crowned king in the future, my father only hopes that you will not fight, do not rob, do not be jealous, but do your best to assist the person on the throne, and the three brothers and sisters will take responsibility together and create a glorious and prosperous world."

The three siblings fell to their knees in front of Pertheus and cried out, "Obey the teachings of your father!" ”

"Come, come, come, children get up." Percius smiled and helped the three of them up one by one, motioned for them to sit back in their seats, and then looked at the ministers and smiled, "Okay, all the heartfelt words are finished with you today." Sooner or later, it's time to put it on the agenda, and I think it's time to put it on the agenda. ”

"As I have just said, I will not be an arbitrary king, but I want to learn from the masters of history and listen to all directions. So on the question of who to appoint as crown prince, I would like to hear your opinions. ”

"Let's have a good New Year in the past two days, and you don't need to worry about it. After the Chinese New Year, all officials above the "main city level" and officers above the "deputy general level" of each regiment can directly write a letter of recommendation to me and select the best to recommend! ”
