"How often do they proselytize?" Alex turned his head and asked the Tech-Priest. Alex was curious how much treatment the workers could get.
The Adeptus Mechanicus's treatment is very expensive, and if there is free and cheap medical service, Alex doesn't mind providing support for this Sisters of Battle.
Regarding this question, the Tech-Priest accompanying him vented a heat flow from the heat sink on his body, expressing the Tech-Priest's emotions and attitude at the moment.
But the Tech-Priest still answered Alex's question: "They patrol the entire residential area about twice a week on average, providing treatment to those in need, and the reward they ask for is blood."
However, speaking of which, the Tech-Priest seemed to have remembered something and added: "The medical technology they use is very backward, and it takes effect slowly. It is far better to remove the diseased organ and replace it with a mechanical prosthetic."
"Does Inquisitor want to investigate these church members?" The Battle Sister next to Alex had already touched the Bolter on her body. It seemed that as long as Alex gave an order, they would investigate this religious group that was also part of the Ecclesiarchy.
Judging from the Battle Sister's actions, this investigation would be difficult to call friendly.
This is not surprising. Although they are both part of the Ecclesiarchy, the Sisters of Battle are still very repulsed by the strange factions of the Ecclesiarchy.
Especially when an Inquisitor shows scrutiny and suspicion towards them, the Sisters of Battle often treat them with a more fanatical and extreme attitude.
However, Alex did not give the order immediately, but just examined the shrine in front of him and the Sisters of Blood Oath Society and Priest who were treating the workers in front of the shrine.
Some patients in poor health have been treated, while on the other side, some miners who look healthy are donating blood.
The people of Blood Oath Society stuck blood collectors directly into the arms of these people, and then used portable glass test tubes to collect the blood.
Alex couldn't help but frown slightly, not because he found anything wrong, but he just felt that these blood might not meet the requirements of 'medical treatment'.
After all, although these miners look healthy, living in the Lower Hive of Hive World, these people's bodies have suffered a lot of pollution and the devastation of harmful environments, and it is difficult to truly call them 'healthy'.
In fact, not only Alex was frowning, but even the Tech-Priest next to him was making a sharp electronic sound.
Well, he cursed very rudely.
But Alex also had to admit that the Blood Oath Society's treatment was effective, and they also had serious medical supplies and drugs. Blood therapy was just one of the treatment methods they used, although this was the most important treatment method.
"Go and invite the person in charge of the Blood Oath Society. I hope to have a detailed talk with him to understand their missionary activities and specific doctrines." Although Alex felt that something was wrong, considering the variety of Ecclesiarchy branches, he decided to find out more about it first.

At this time, in the work shed, Old John was guarding the bedside, looking at his youngest daughter on the bed, feeling extremely distressed, and also regretting whether he should have come to this planet.
Their family can actually be said to be lucky, but it can also be said to be unlucky.
To say they were lucky was because after arriving at Zaporozhye, their family quickly found a job and settled down.
Old John was appointed as a foreman because he had mining experience.
The eldest son, who was approaching adulthood, also became a miner.
Although this job is indeed tiring, the income is enough to support their whole family.
If you count Old John's wife's income, they can even let their other children go to school instead of hanging around on the streets, trying to so-called 'subsidize the family'.
The so-called misfortune is because they are not adapted to the environment here, or rather, the children's fragile bodies, born from Hive World, are difficult to cope with the stimulation brought about by the sudden change in environment.
The older children are fine. Although they felt uncomfortable for a few days, they quickly adapted to the new environment.
Only the youngest daughter had a fever, and they lacked access to medical care.
Old John tried to ask the Tech-Priest in the neighborhood for help, but the other party said that everything of Adeptus Mechanicus was not free. A treatment injection that was enough to treat the little girl required Old John to work for Adeptus Mechanicus for five years without pay in exchange.
For his daughter, Old John certainly wouldn't say that he was unwilling to pay such a price, but what was despairing was that the Tech-Priest assessed that Old John's body was not enough to support him serving Adeptus Mechanicus at a high intensity for five years.
Even if he was willing to accept the transformation surgery and be transformed into Servitors, Adeptus Mechanicus believed that he lacked the necessary qualifications and would waste valuable resources.
"Daddy, I feel so uncomfortable..." Natasha's murmur made Old John's eyes sore.
He tried to take out some food from his body. In the past, among the Lower Hive dwellers, there was a custom that 'as long as you are full, you won't feel uncomfortable', or rather, a kind of self-comfort under the lack of medical conditions.
But Old John searched all over his body and only took out half a protein bar.
Although their lives have been relatively better since they came to this planet, Adeptus Mechanicus obviously would not provide extra living supplies or food beyond the necessary needs.
Or to be precise, Adeptus Mechanicus would not provide anything beyond what is necessary to maintain life for free.
"This child needs bloodletting to reduce the fever." A red-robed Battle Sister appeared next to Old John at some point. Behind the Battle Sister stood his uneasy second son.
Old John immediately protected his daughter nervously. He had seen the so-called bloodletting treatment in Hive City, the so-called 'treatment' of cutting people open to bleed, and he would never allow anyone to use it on his daughter.
However, this Battle Sister didn't mind, just gave Old John a gentle smile, then took out a blood collector, and after signaling Old John to step aside with an undeniable firm attitude, she stuck the blood collector next to the girl's neck.
Dark red blood flowed into the blood collector along the pinhole, and the little girl's face turned pale visibly.
But the little girl's face also relaxed a lot, which finally relieved Old John's hanging heart.
The Battle Sister took out a red test tube and a silver cup again, poured the red liquid in the test tube into the cup, adden
System: added medicine and stirred it, and then fed it to the little girl.
After doing all this, the Battle Sister pulled out the blood collector and said to Old John: "Bring this child to the street square for a re-examination tomorrow. She should have her fever gone tonight after taking the medicine."
After speaking, the Battle Sister turned and left.
Old John glanced at his son and didn't blame him. He just looked at his little daughter, whose face was obviously much better, and tucked the blanket on her body again.
