What Redd is angry about now is that if he hadn't asked Douglas to investigate Laena, no one would have reported anything about Red God's church to him.
As a person who owns Demon Dragon, has been exposed to magic, and also possesses this kind of super extraordinary power, he is very aware of these gods and ghosts.
The power of faith is the media basis for whether gods can interfere with reality.
Redd has always been afraid of Red God. After all, he can basically conclude that the so-called doomsday natural disaster is caused by Red God.
The purpose is to destroy Valyrians, which is no longer under his control, and at the same time seal the underground passage to another world, and at the same time turn this place into a desperate place, so that no one can get involved here.
Ever since he started rebuilding Valyria city, he had been worried that Red God would give him another doomsday disaster.
But he didn't expect that Red God had already started preparing.
Gathering enough power of faith should be its first step. The spread of Red God faith must be interrupted.
Redd knows very well how terrifying fanatic believers who have faith are. They are not afraid of death and sacrifice. When the number of these people who are not even afraid of death reaches a certain level, their explosive power is terrifying.
The life and death of Laena is no longer important. He must first solve the problem of Red God's church. After all, Free Cities is his blood pack, and this basic disk cannot be lost.
There are only two ways to deal with these fanatical believers, one is to crush their faith, and the other is to physically transcend them.
The first one was too ink-stained. Redd chose the second one without hesitation.
But before that, he had to confirm Douglas's attitude.
If Douglas already believes in Red God, then he can only abandon this more useful subordinate.
After all, I have followed him for so long and have worked hard, so he will be gentler and let him go faster.
Redd leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands on his abdomen, and looked at Douglas's face.
That gaze was calm and direct, like a knife being pushed out slowly, looking for an angle to cut into.
His voice was very calm and casual, as if he was asking casually, and his face still had that gloomy expression, as if it was a simple inquiry.
"Have you had any contact with the Red God church?"
Douglas worked his way up from the bottom.
He has worked as a mercenary and as a pirate, and he also bought his knighthood with money.
He never believed in any gods, only power and money.
In his opinion, there is no difference between the so-called church armed forces and mercenary bandits. The former is to plunder the people's money, while the latter is to rob the money of noble businessmen.
He saw that Redd was unhappy, so he chose to tell the truth.
The Red God Church had indeed contacted him, or in other words, the Red God Church had sent people to contact him and persuade him to believe in Red God.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
In addition, the Red God church has never defaulted on taxes, so his attitude towards the Red God church is not to suppress or take care of it, but to allow it to develop.
After all, there is more than one Red God church in Free Cities.
It's just that in recent times, Red God church has developed relatively rapidly and is more prominent than other churches.
He didn't see anything wrong with this.
Redd After listening to the other party's answer, I was quite satisfied and there was no need to consider replacing him.
Just now Mental Power of Redd has been locking Douglas, observing his expression, eyes and heartbeat changes to comprehensively judge whether he is lying.
Douglas's heartbeat remained stable while answering, his breathing rhythm did not pause or accelerate abnormally, his eyes did not evade, and his fingers did not move uneasily.
Taken together, those indicators point to the same conclusion - Douglas is telling the truth.
After confirming that Douglas was still usable, Redd said directly, "Go back to Free Cities as quickly as possible and help me do something."
Douglas replied cautiously, "I don't know what it is."
Redd took out a golden scale of King Ghidorah from the system space and placed it on the table.
The scale was about the size of a human face, and its surface was covered with fine golden lines, glowing with a dull luster under the candlelight.
Its edges were cut smoothly and neatly, indicating that it was processed after being removed from King Ghidorah.
It is much heavier than ordinary metal, and seems to contain some kind of heat inside, making a slight sound when it touches the table.
"With this scale, you can command Demon Dragon.
I allow you to take away fifty Demon Dragon from the underground Dragonpit.
There is only one requirement, and the Red God church will be destroyed, and no Red God believers will be left.
No one or thing related to Red God is allowed to appear in Free Cities."
Douglas looked at the golden scales the size of a human face on the table and swallowed.
He didn't expect that an ordinary person like him would have the opportunity to command Demon Dragon.
You know, Demon Dragon is a powerful magical creature.
You know, even House Targaryen is only one person and one dragon, but he has been given the power to command fifty Demon Dragon.
This power was so great that he felt it was unreal.
As for destroying a church and massacring some believers, in his opinion, it is nothing compared to this power.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the golden scales from the table.
The weight of the scales was heavy in his palm, and that weight made him feel a real weight that could not be underestimated.
He put the scales into the pocket on the inside of the breastplate to ensure that it would not slip off during movement, then stood up straight and gave a brief but solemn salute to Redd.
"I'll leave now."
Redd nodded and said nothing more. Douglas turned around and walked out of the castle's study, walking quickly along the stone steps towards the port.
His footsteps made an even and rapid sound on the stone floor, walking farther and farther on the dirt road leading to the port, and finally disappeared into the outline reddened by the volcanic light in the twilight.
Douglas boarded a transport ship bound for Volantis that evening.
He only brought the minimum entourage and the simplest luggage before departure. All necessary tools and supplies will be mobilized from the local garrison and material reserves after arriving at Volantis.
The transport ship left the port in the darkness, sailed eastward along the route modified by King Ghidorah, passed through the edge of the Smoking Sea, and arrived at the port of Volantis in the early morning of the third day.
Douglas did not rest after getting off the ship and went directly to the underground Dragonpit.
The underground Dragonpit of Volantis is located in a deep well inside the Black Wall. The caves transformed into Dragonpit extend deep along the volcanic rock formations and have special ventilation systems and material supply channels.
Douglas stood at the entrance of Dragonpit and took out the golden scale from the inside of the breastplate.
The scales heated up slightly in his palm, and became brighter when they came into contact with the high-temperature airflow coming from the depths of Dragonpit. The fine golden lines on the surface began to flow slowly, as if they were injected with some kind of activity.
