Southern Almany Federal, along the Mediterranean coast.

This is the territory closest to the Seven Hills Empire in the Almani Federation. After the failure of the military operation against the Seven Hills Empire, the defeated general of Almani's army fled back to the Almani Federation in a hurry and brought the Black Death into these lands. Now the Black Death has spread throughout the Almani Federation, and the epidemic in these lands close to the Seven Hills Empire is particularly serious. The rapid development of the epidemic has caused the Seven Hills Empire to give up its plan to counterattack the Almani Federation and even closed its border with the Almani Federation for this purpose.

The patients who increased at a terrible speed not only alarmed the princes of the Almany Federation, but also alarmed the Abraham Church that took root and sprouted in the Almany Federation. As the highest leader of the Almany Federal Diocese, Gregory led a team of clergy to leave Cologne and came to the border to inspect in person.

The road was very quiet, and less than one-tenth of the people walking outside. Some unpacked bones were piled on the side of the road, and the meat on it had been pecked by crows.

An adult who was sick and sick was lying on a stretcher, carrying two male laborers, one old and one young, and came all the way to the local church. They knelt at the door of the church and prayed silently for a while, and then a priest walked out, dipped his fingers in a little water, and drew a cross on the patient's forehead. The old man and the child lowered their heads and thanked for a while, then took the stretcher again and left the church gate.

Gregory looked at it from a distance. When he walked into the church, he frowned and asked the priest: "What did those three people come here just now?"

"The man on that stretcher suffered from the Black Death," replied the priest, "his father and son carried him and came to seek healing."

"Absurd! You should go to the doctor if you get sick. You are not the priests of Ibn Si's sect, why should you treat people?"

Gregory's shout scared the priest, and he hurriedly defended himself: "But no doctor can cure this disease! Rather than a disease, it is more like a whip of God, punishing the unrighteous one..."

"God's punishment? Absurd! Did these peasants enslaved God's elect, rob the Ark of the Covenant, or committed a serious crime like the Sodom?"

Gregori was the example of God's punishment in the scriptures. Among them, only Sodom was directly destroyed by God, but it was only the size of a city; the Tepuy, who enslaved God's chosen people, died only the first child of every family; as for another pagan robbery of the ark of the covenant, the plague brought down by God was nothing more than hemorrhoids; now the Black Death has spread to several kingdoms and empires. He used these three allusions to question the priest: What sin is it that can make God bring down this larger than these three. A more serious plague?

The priest was frightened and dared not say a word.

While talking, a small parade team came from a distance, which looked particularly eye-catching on the empty street. There was a trailer in the middle of the parade, with a cross erected on the car, and a naked man tied to the cross. There were two other people, one holding a chain and the other holding a whip with a nail, whipping the man hard, causing him to get bruised and covered in blood.

Gregory recognized the man tied to the cross as a clergy in the church and asked angrily, "What is this doing? What is the serious crime he committed?"

"Mr. Gregorian, he did not commit any sin, but was using this action to atone for people's sins." The priest replied in a low voice, "We don't know why God was angry this time, but as clergy, I think we should take the initiative to take on the punishment of God on man, just as the Son of God did."

"Absurd! Absurd! Absurd!" Gregory cursed three times in a row, "The doctor needs to treat the disease. The reason why all three-year-old children understand is what you have become like this! Stop this immediately!"

"But Lord Gregory..." the priest asked in a low voice, "What else can we do if we don't do this?"

Before Gregory could reply, the man holding the chain suddenly fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out nearby: "It's the patient!"

The crowd panicked, and in the blink of an eye, they fled around and disappeared, leaving only the man tied to the cross and the man holding the chains on the ground.

"Oh my God, it's another one of us!" the priest shouted in panic, "There are only three people in the local church who are still alive now!"

"It was during the march... Can't God hear our prayers?" A priest behind the priest cried, "God doesn't even care about the priests he has chosen. Could it be that he has given up on us humans?"

Although Gregory clearly expressed the displeasure of connecting the Black Death with God from the beginning, the local church still said three sentences of God's punishment - an idea that has been deeply rooted in their minds.

Gregory raised his head and sighed, feeling helpless: If the Black Death continues to develop like this, the foundations of both the internal and external churches will probably be shaken.

"It would be great if Lord Ibn Shina was there." A priest who was walking with him sighed and said, "He might be able to heal this basic thing. Unfortunately, he is in the east and cannot come back."

"Not necessarily, I heard that this disease has also occurred in our Tianfang Empire." Another priest who followed Gregorian interrupted, "Maybe the King of Kings will give a countermeasure soon."

This "King of Kings" does not refer to an apostle who inherited the title of Son of God. Unlike other apostles, the apostles of this sect are hereditary. Members of this family are listed as the head of the apostles because they can directly talk to the Son of God, and at the same time they have become the nominal leader of the Tianfang Empire. Although the four apostles are not in harmony with each other, they still have to listen to the dispatch of the King of Kings on the surface. His words have the authority to transfer Ibn Sina from the Eastern Expedition to deal with this plague.

Gregory's face suddenly became very ugly: "This is the land of our Cross Sect. How can we allow the apostles of the Star Moon Sect to step in? If we have to find Ibn Sina to solve the problem, then I have a better candidate - the King of Sweden. What do you think?"

The priests touched their heads and smiled awkwardly: Gregory is right. If you want to find people from the Crescent Sect to solve the problem of the Cross, it would be better to find a pagan.

But Gregory suddenly closed his eyes, as if he had noticed something-

"You guys wait a moment, I'll go."
