Chapter 258: Collusion
The church knows this virus was researched by vampires, or at the very least knows it's related to vampires. But the money from selling the medicine is simply too much. Even if the church only gets a portion, it's still an astronomical figure.
One bottle costs ten silver coins. Buying two bottles a month, counting outsiders, Uridia has nearly a hundred million people. This number is even a bit hard for Loren to comprehend.
Because of this epidemic, Uridia's population has decreased significantly. The gods might not care about the feelings of their believers, but They do care about the number of believers. With such a large-scale reduction in believers, the church should intervene no matter what.
But the church is the church, and the church's higher-ups are the church's higher-ups. In the end, they still made a decision contrary to their duty.
"So the reason you came to find me is to have me help you deal with the Bloodline Rebels?"
Seeing Loren finally stop talking about the church, the Bishop quickly nodded.
"Right, recently the Bloodline Rebels have become increasingly brazen. Not only did they create the virus to poison Uridia's humans, they've also repeatedly hunted Uridia's vampires!"
Subconsciously, the Bishop placed himself on the moral high ground again. Although Loren had already seen through all his thoughts, this kind of thing was subconscious. Who knows how many times he's done it already.
This is the church's true appearance. After all, clergy are not like Angels who have already lost their humanity; they always have personal motives.
