Father Rhodes nodded towards him with a solemn expression.
The old guy wants to use this thing to control him or kill him.
Xia Yanzhen opened the small bottle, took a look, and smelled it. The liquid in the bottle was slightly red and looked relatively clear.
It feels a bit like iced black tea, with no special taste, color and tasteless.
The expression on Father Rod's face was very calm, showing nothing unusual at all.
Without the information about God's Dream, Xia Yan really wouldn't have discovered that this thing was poison, not medicine.
Now that I’ve discovered it…
Xia Yanzhen smiled at Father Rhodes, then suddenly took action and removed Father Rhodes' chin.
"Woooooooo..."
After his jaw was removed, Father Rhodes could only let out a horrified whimper. In desperation, Xia Yanzhen poured some Black Death liquid into his mouth.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
After filling him with medicine, Xia Yanzhen let him go and took a step back.
Father Rhodes didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed to the door he had just visited.
Xia Yanzhen followed.
The stairs sloped downward, with twists and turns, and the two of them entered the church underground one after the other.
Father Rhodes panicked and used the key to open a rather heavy iron door.
Behind the iron door, candles were lit and the lights were bright. Father Rhodes rushed in, took a small bottle from the table, opened it and poured it into his mouth.
After finishing the drink, I started drinking the second bottle.
The two bottles look different and have no labels. They are just placed on the table.
Except for certain people, it may be difficult for others to distinguish between the bottles and jars on the table, which ones are medicines and which ones are extracted poisons.
After drinking three bottles in a row, Father Rhodes' clothes and beard were all wet before he turned around and looked at Xia Yanzhen with extremely malicious eyes.
Xia Yanzhen walked over and closed his chin again.
Father Rhodes put his hand on his chin and did not speak. It hurt when he moved his face.
But the pain in his body was not as good as the pain in his heart.
"You want to kill me. I'm just fighting back a little. You don't have to look at me like that, right?" Xia Yanzhen said, with a teasing tone and a relaxed expression.
"I didn't want to kill you..." Father Rhodes said.
"Really? Can you drink some more?" Xia Yanzhen tossed the Black Death liquid in his hand up and down.
"I just want to conquer you in this way and use it for my use." Father Rhodes said, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. "With me here, you can always get the death-defying medicine, and you won't die."
"Your church is quite good at naming the death-defying drugs." Xia Yanzhen walked to the table and asked, "Which ones are poisons and which ones are medicines?"
"You said you can let me go?" Father Rhodes said, "I am now in charge of Nayasi, and I am considered an important person in the church. I will soon become a bishop. If I die, the port of Nayasi will be out of control, and the church will lose
The control here will definitely become furious and hunt you down."
"Are you threatening me?"
"This is not a threat, this is a kind reminder." Father Rhodes said anxiously, "This matter is my fault. There is no need for you to be an enemy of the church. Join the church and I will help you. If you have the strength, you will surely soar to the sky!
"
"Divide first."
Xia Yanzhen pointed to the bottles and jars on the table.
Father Rhodes selected a total of five bottles from them: "These are all death-resistant medicines. There is only one bottle of Black Death liquid, and the others are all messy things."
Xia Yanzhen reached out and picked up one of the bottles, and the message emerged:
【Death-resisting Medicine】
[In order to combat the Black Death, the Eternal Church researched and manufactured pharmaceuticals, which can effectively alleviate and contain the outbreak of the Black Death, but cannot eradicate the Black Death. 】
"The church is called the Eternal Church?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Father Rhodes was stunned and nodded.
The full name of the church is indeed the Eternal Church. A long time ago, there were churches that believed in other gods.
But now, only the Eternal Church, the only church, stands on the earth.
The Eternal God is also the only God.
Gradually, there was less emphasis on the “eternal” in front of it.
The Eternal Church is the only church, and Eternal God is the only God. They are both unique and do not need to be distinguished by prefixes.
Father Rhodes didn't know why Xia Yanzhen asked this question, but he just felt that this person was becoming more and more mysterious.
He claimed to be the son of a blacksmith and ran out of the outbreak area.
He is not a knight, but he has great strength and is not affected by the purifying holy light.
He doesn't understand a lot of "common sense" at all, but he can identify the fluid of the Black Death and knows the true name of the church.
Contradictions and mysteries are revealed everywhere.
If Father Rhodes is given another chance, he will definitely not poison Xia Yanzhen again, but will choose to run away and report this person's appearance to the bishop.
Let them worry about this mysterious man.
Xia Yanzhen picked up the bottles chosen by Father Rhodes one by one and made sure that they were all death-defying medicines.
Five bottles in total.
"How much longer can one bottle last?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"It varies from person to person. Some people can live six or seven days longer, or even more than ten days, and some people can live three or four days longer." When Father Rhodes said this, his face looked very ugly.
From now on, he will be a lifelong companion of the death-defying drug.
You can't stop taking the medicine for the rest of your life.
Once the medicine is stopped, the Black Death breaks out and you will die within three days - no, this is the Black Death liquid created by those bird lunatics, it is only more powerful than the ordinary Black Death.
After stopping the medication, he might die suddenly within a day.
When he gave Xia Yanzhen this thing, Father Rhodes didn't even think about whether he planned to conquer or kill him.
I just want to eliminate this threat first.
In the end, you shoot yourself in the foot.
"So short?" Xia Yan really felt that this time was a bit short.
"It's already pretty good," Father Rod said.
Not only that, after long-term use, some drug resistance will develop, and better anti-death drugs must be used, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.
Ten years after the Black Death, the anti-death drug was developed by the church in the second year.
But many high-ranking people still died from the Black Death.
Anti-death drugs are not a panacea.
While Father Rhodes was talking, Xia Yanzhen touched other bottles and jars, but no information emerged.
This time Father Rhodes did not dare to lie.
Xia Yanzhen put away these death-defying drugs one by one, causing the muscles on Father Rhodes' face to jump again and his expression unable to be controlled at all.
What is this?
A trick?
Father Rhodes was about to say something when there were deliberate footsteps outside. The dark crow from before appeared and silently delivered a letter.
After delivering the letter, Dark Crow left the room.
Father Rhodes opened the envelope, looked at it, frowned, and said proactively: "It's an order from above, asking me to seal off the whole city to find someone."
After a pause, Father Rhodes did not lie, and he did not dare to lie: "The person he is looking for is the last orphan of the Demon Damon family, a pair of siblings..."
The head of the Damon family was originally an earl.
Under the king, every noble is a lord and has his own territory.
People in many places only know the lord and don't know who the king is.
Even a baron has a strong sense of independence. The territory of a duke is also known as a principality.
As a middle-level lord, the earl was already a big shot.
But after the outbreak of the Black Death, Earl Damon's territory bore the brunt of the plague. After persisting for several years, it has now become a dead land.
The Dimon family is a thing of the past.
Only one twin brother and sister escaped from the territory and wandered around for three or four years.
"What does the church want to do with the Damon siblings?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Because they are followers of the devil." Father Rhodes said, "The source of the Black Death is in the territory of the Daemon family. It was Earl Daemon who summoned the devil, causing the Black Death and causing this unstoppable epidemic.
Disaster.
"Unless these demon siblings die, the Black Death will never stop!"
"Oh." Xia Yanzhen responded noncommittally, "So these siblings are here?"
When Father Rhodes said this, he had a look of conviction on his face, and Xia Yanzhen had no intention of debating with Father Rhodes whether "witch hunting" was correct or not.
Maybe they really are demon siblings?
"It's very possible, you see..."
Father Rod couldn't wait to seal the city and conduct a comprehensive search.
If we can really catch these demon siblings, it will be a great achievement.
Let alone a bishop, even an archbishop might become one.
"Go." Xia Yanzhen said.
As if he had been granted amnesty, Father Rhodes was about to go out when he stopped and said, "Please join Nayasi's guard team first. If you want to truly join the church, you need to go through the bishop..."
No matter what period of time, it is not easy to truly become a member of the church.
"Oh, don't worry." Xia Yanzhen smiled.
The laughter made Father Rod's heart tremble.
In fact, he now desires Xia Yanzhen to join the church more than anyone else.
He even wished that the son of a blacksmith could transform into a bishop and become his superior.
In this way, Rhodes' safety can be guaranteed.
"If you can capture these two siblings, it will be easy for you to join the Knights." Father Rhodes continued to contribute.
Use your own way to "seduce" Xia Yanzhen.
In Father Rod's mind, becoming a member of the church is a great honor.
Climbing up in the church, becoming a knight, and holding a high position are things that countless people would never dare to do.
Now that Qingyun Road is in front of you, how excited should you be?
Returning to the magnificent "hall" of the church, Father Rhodes ordered the entire city to be cordoned off to capture the demon siblings.
Nayasi was originally in a semi-blocked state, making it difficult to get out.
A complete lockdown is not a big deal now.
It is not difficult to arrest someone in the whole city. With an order, the guards will attack. Breaking into other people's homes and rummaging through boxes and cabinets is a basic operation.
The Middle Ages did not pay attention to human rights.
Not to mention that when the Black Death spreads, the church is like God, taking away from ordinary people and controlling their life and death.
After Father Rhodes gave the order, he sent the two Dark Crows out to look for the demon siblings.
"Your priest's clothes are good, do you still have them? Lend them to me," Xia Yanzhen said.
The clothes on his body were uncomfortable and felt damp, as if he could squeeze water out of them.
After hearing Xia Yanzhen's words, Father Rhodes hurriedly went to get clothes.
Naturally, it is impossible for ordinary people to wear the clothes of a priest. It is a capital crime - the kind that the church will hang to make a warning to others.
But now, Xia Yan really does whatever he says and breaks the church's rules, so Father Rhodes can only grit his teeth and admit it.
After changing into a black priest's robe, Xia Yanzhen also bought a cross and a Bible.
After a sudden transformation, he looked more like God's spokesman than Father Rhodes.
"From now on, please call me Father Chamonster."
Xia Yanzhen said to Father Rhodes.
"Okay, Father." Father Rhodes smiled very hard and awkwardly.
Nayasi was the eldest, and no higher-ranking clergy came forward. He said that Xia Yanzhen was a priest, that is, a priest.
No one dared to refute.
It's like Father Rhodes didn't dare to refute Xia Yanzhen.
