Devil's Bible

Nemes collected some of Poole's flesh and blood to keep as specimens.

The reason why this further transformation was able to be completed so quickly in ten days was largely due to the help of the old pastor.

The new bloodline effect of the Oath Rope is extremely powerful.

His oath ropes were originally strands slightly thicker than a thumb.

However, as more and more special effects are added to it, and more and more contracts are attached to it, the length and changes of the Oath Rope are also increasing rapidly.

For example, it could previously evolve into a fine filament state that was invisible to the naked eye, and decapitate Benjamin when he was running at high speed.

Now it has been further refined. After the rope of oath splits into fine threads, the tips of these threads extend into more microscopic 'lines'.

This kind of line can influence the lifeblood of a person to a certain extent.

"Unfortunately, this requires extremely strong microscopic vision and extremely keen manipulation skills."

"If this ability could be improved by several levels, I might be able to directly edit bloodline genes with it." Nemus did not fully bring his past life's knowledge into this world.

People in this world may have bloodlines and genes, but many things are different from those in their previous lives.

The mere existence of a floating whale is enough to shatter the biology of my past life.

Science also needs to respect objective laws; it is merely a means of observing, summarizing, and generalizing about the objective universe.

Nems' problem at this moment is that his observational ability and precision are both insufficient.

It is impossible to fully utilize this special tool.

“What I need now is a real opportunity, an opportunity to unleash my power in a burst.” Nemus could sense that his seizure of his identity and entry into the material plane had entered a critical period.

Once the condensation is complete, one can unleash all of their power without covering their body with the demonic form to create a physical medium.

Nemus has largely completed the model for utilizing the power of faith. Once activated, the newly formed characteristics will become a bridge, connecting all of Nemus's power.

"There's only one problem now—the power of faith isn't enough!"

"The holy nail formed from twenty-one years of faith power, according to the estimate, is simply not enough to support the formation of the characteristic I want."

"And because I need to mobilize the power of both the demon's true form and the paladin's identity, I need two different types of faith."

"The faith in the God of Discipline lasts for about 150 years, while my own faith lasts for about 20 years."

"The faith in the God of Commandments is easy to obtain, but the faith in the statues in churches has never been invoked."

"The difficulty lies with the old pastor. He has been staying at the church and rarely goes out. I need to find a way to transfer him away."

"And the power of faith I have cultivated over those twenty years is even more troublesome, as the output of this faith is too low." Nems currently only has three and a half followers.

Towns, Poole, the village keeper, and the general public.

Towns is a typical shallow believer, capable of generating a year's worth of faith power in a year.

Poole, on the other hand, is a devout believer. The quality of the faith power he produces is extremely high. By exchanging quality for quantity, the faith power he produces in one year is roughly equivalent to that produced in five to six years. Furthermore, as Poole's strength increases, his faith output is also steadily rising.

The village guardian is a believer in a broad sense. He chose to be embraced by Nemus because of his unease about evil, which gave rise to a fear of evil and a powerful faith in him. This faith is explosive.

Normally, the village guards do not generate much faith power, but when they commit evil or witness evil, their faith power will explode by half a month to a month's worth.

The remaining half consists of all the villagers.

When they occasionally saw Nemus and greeted him, they would express their admiration and envy for Nemus's status as a paladin.

These things can also be considered as the power of faith in a broad sense, but they are too troublesome to extract.

"At the current pace, it will probably take seven or eight years to gather the power of faith for twenty years."

"If we want to speed things up, we can only increase the number and quality of believers."

These days, Nemus has not been idle; he has begun preparations to establish a secret cult.

The village has more than 500 people, most of whom are simple villagers.

They have lived in this small village their entire lives, and have basically never left. Their thinking and beliefs have long been solidified.

They only cared about their own little plot of land and the daily necessities of life.

Unless a major upheaval occurs, it is very difficult for such individuals to change their mindset.

Others are mainly teenagers.

"They still harbor the idea of ​​leaving the village and going out into the world. They don't want to stay here for the rest of their lives, either going up the mountain to collect herbs or working in the fields."

“During this time, some people have tried to join the church through me because they think I am easy to talk to.”

"With a certain amount of enticement, I am confident that I can lure some people to my side."

“But this would greatly increase the risk of exposure.” Nemes knew that Jacques and Isabella were still watching them.

Those two people seemed to have fallen into silence, but in reality, they were waiting for an opportunity.

They tried to integrate into the village and then observed anything unusual in their daily lives.

Isabella even probed into Towns' situation.

Fortunately, although Towns was full of pleasure-seeking desires, he was not completely blinded by them.

His fear of Nems restrained his 'lust' for Isabella, and he did not reveal any further information.

On the other side, Op was also waiting, hoping that there would be fewer people in the way.

Sure enough, today, an order came down that Jacques had acted without authorization and clashed with Nemes, so he was ordered to return to Swingtail Town immediately.

Jacques had no choice but to take his leave and depart from Dorsal Fin Village in the following days.

Although he felt resentful, Jacques knew he had no other choice.

After receiving the transfer order, Jacques left alone with his belongings early in the morning.

Aupu's caravan is still in the planning stages and is usually organized only once every one to two months, bringing enough herbs, animal furs, and other goods to Baiwei Town or Changbei Town.

They would exchange these supplies for enough necessities and then bring them back to the village.

It was supposed to be soon, and after learning about Jacques' situation, Aupert even asked him to wait two days before setting off together.

However, since Jacques insisted on leaving, Oppein did not stop him.

After leaving the village, Jacques glanced back at it and, finding no one watching, resolutely left the main road and disappeared into the woods.

Please keep reading, thank you.

Chapter 33 Old but Not Dead

Jacques made this decision with great determination.

When operating in the wild, the journey is also unknown because the risks encountered are unknown.

Currently, there is a road between Beiqi Village and Baiwei Town for caravans to travel on, and the journey takes about three days.

If you stray off the path, you're very likely to get lost, which could take a long time.

Therefore, the church branch in Baiwei Town gave him a relatively ample time to return.

Even if he did exceed the time limit, he would at most be punished. As a nobleman, he still had certain privileges.

He was unwilling to slink back like that, and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly monitor the operation of the entire Backfin Village.

He believed that his departure would make those people think they had won, and in their smugness, they would naturally become careless and might make mistakes.

On the other side, Opp did indeed breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He stood up, and beneath his obese body, some black things were wriggling.

After a change, the black things completely disappeared and stopped moving.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Op quickly called for his newly hired servants to prepare the goods.

"We will not restart whale skin mining for the time being, but will rely on our existing stock to sustain the operation."

"The special medication over there cannot be stopped."

"We don't have much stock left, so we still need to find a way to get that thing out ourselves." Op sighed and adjusted his mindset.

He had once thought he could tame the nest beasts and turn them into his animal companions.

However, they underestimated the wildness of the dangerous creature.

He's been raising this thing for seven years, and he still can't tame it.

We must purchase specially made medicine from the Calamity Cult at a high price to suppress the ferocity of the Nest Beast.

The Calamity Cult is a group of cults that study calamities on Earth and seek to gain power from them.

According to them, the calamity itself is not a calamity, but a righteous god. It only became a calamity because of the evil conspiracy of the gods.

However, such statements should be taken with a grain of salt; various cults like to boast that they are orthodox and the true gods.

Oppe didn't want to deal with these people, but given his current situation, not doing so meant certain death.

"This damn world, this damn cult, this damn church... this damn old pastor!!" Op's mental state fluctuated, but eventually returned to stability.

The miners have been silenced, and the mine has been destroyed.

He wants to break through again and recruit enough miners, both of which are troublesome matters.

Every day you delay means a day less money.

For the past ten days or so, the newly arrived paladin has been running all over the village under the guise of exercising, and even in the surrounding mountains and gullies. He will investigate any corner or nook he sees that shows even the slightest trace of human activity.

Isn't the goal to find the mines they're mining in?

On the contrary, the trainee pastor was always around the church, and at most he would walk around the village.

Op has tried more than once to gather manpower to resume mining.

But at this moment, he could only endure it.

Because he is still waiting for a signal.

-

Meanwhile, Nemes suddenly sensed something and went into his basement.

At this moment, Leah was struggling, her whole body covered with marks from the ropes of the oath.

"Is the Whale unable to hold on?" Nemus looked at the other party's condition and couldn't help but strengthen the sealing effect of the Oath Rope once again, but the effect was not ideal.

When the village guards caused those things, Lia had already entered the critical period of becoming a whale.

It was Nemus who suppressed it with the Oath Rope, and at the same time, in the process of researching whale disease and giving Poole whale power, he also made some adjustments to it.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lia's changes were becoming uncontrollable, and her urge to transform into a whale grew stronger and stronger.

"As expected, anything related to the floating whale is not so simple." Nemus looked at the pained Lydia, but at this moment he was thinking about where to get some internal organs.

The villagers' homemade dried offal has already been eaten up. If Leah doesn't get to eat this during the whale transformation process, she will most likely die from whale transformation disease.

He could only hold onto his own oath for a day or two at most.

“We can’t let her die yet. Once the contract is broken, the village guardians probably won’t feel at ease.” Nemus frowned.

"It's not the right time yet."

“Wait a minute…” Nemus suddenly frowned, realizing a problem he had previously overlooked.

So where did the village guards' internal organs come from?

Nems discovered from Nair's memories that although people occasionally died in the village, in general, not many bodies went missing.

Most of the corpses would be...

"Bury him in the cemetery behind the church!" Nems's mind raced instantly, a series of guesses popping into his head.

This is a major problem that he has overlooked.

"Old pastors often preside over funerals."

"Given his spiritual cultivation, it doesn't matter whether the village guards stole the internal organs before the burial or after the burial."

"It's highly likely that it won't escape the old pastor's perception."

“My attention was completely focused on the whale disease before, and I naturally overlooked the need for internal organs because of the seal that suppressed it.”

"Now that I think about it, it was a fatal mistake."

"This mistake made me misjudge the old pastor's character!" Nemus's impression of the old pastor was probably that he was an old man who had become soft-hearted and hesitant.
