Devil's Bible

"These things aren't very convenient in Qiquan City."

It is estimated that there are five to seven gold mines in Qiquan City.

This number is unreasonable. It is the same as the previous expansion of the Holy Knights' numbers, caused by factional struggles that attracted external forces.

Because there are many people, the original power and benefits are diluted.

With various conflicts constantly arising, the time for development has been essentially wasted.

To be honest, given the current situation, even if Naims were to join in, he wouldn't be entirely confident that he wouldn't be used as cannon fodder.

The speed of thought, reaction speed, and keen observation of the surroundings of those born under the Golden Seed are truly extraordinary.

In the short term, Naim can ensure that he does not reveal any weaknesses, but in the long term, he cannot.

He wasn't in the mood to be a filler character; going to Baiwei Town would be more suitable for his current situation.

"Is that so?" After hearing Nems's choice, Killieman nodded and stopped thinking about it.

Although the Dartmenley family has gradually declined, their network of connections remains quite strong.

Even Guilliman received favors from him.

More than two hundred years ago, when he was just an ordinary paladin, he was helped by the last golden member of the Dartmenley family.

Now that the other party has come to him through various connections, after careful consideration, he still needs to agree.

Although everyone is now taking advantage of the Dartment's misfortune to gain benefits, if they don't lend a hand at this time, the enclosure faction nobles will feel a sense of loss.

After all, even nobles could not guarantee that their families would never decline.

Therefore, many nobles were also paying attention to this matter, which had a very positive effect on the unity of the enclosure faction.

This was in line with Guilliman's expectations; there were too many internal conflicts within the church, making it unsuitable to continue using this as a pretext for war.

What the land grabbers want to do is protect their own interests and safeguard their sovereignty.

However, the ruling faction is now arriving with great momentum and possesses the righteousness of the Church headquarters.

Most importantly, they are actually in the wrong regarding Niall's situation.

The experiment started in the church, and the Dartmenley family was definitely violating the rules.

As the whistleblower, Neil should not be buried like this.

While reporting violators may not usually yield good results, at least it appears to be a meritorious act on the surface.

Nair was sent down to the village of Backfin. Although his safety was guaranteed for seven or eight years thanks to the old priest's special connections, this procedure was wrong in terms of morality.

If we keep dragging this on, it'll only cause more trouble.

Sending him to Baiwei Town now is a good thing.

Anyway, the person has been sent there. Whether the Dartmenley family has the means to bring the person back into the family is their own business.

Whether Nems went to return to his family or to seek revenge, it was none of their business.

“It’s wise for young people to be more cautious,” Killieman said, signing his opinion on the document. Nemes’s trip to Tailtail Town was now a done deal.

Regardless of the momentum Gotthard brings, at least Guilliman is still the Grand Master and the person directly involved in the Naims.

The two have made their decision, and the matter is settled.

"Wait outside for a bit, someone will take you to the air column to Tailtail Town shortly." Killieman handed the signed documents to Nemes and then continued with his official duties without saying anything more.

Nems took the documents, bowed and took his leave, then sat down on a bench outside the Grand Master's office.

Soon, people came from both sides of the corridor.

One of them was the very person who was "meticulous and methodical," while the other was the female pastor holding a book behind Gotthard.

“Nair Datmenley, please come with me.” He said this directly after approaching Nemus in a formal manner, and then turned and left.

"Coward." The female priest who arrived on the other side uttered these three words in a low voice.

Everyone present was perceptive, and those three whispered words were clearly heard by everyone, including Killieman in the office.

However, there was no response to these remarks.

This kind of struggle cannot be explained in just a few words.

In the female pastor's view, they were reforming the church, removing its flaws, and then controlling the nobles who had infiltrated the church system.

This is the most correct thing to do.

Under such circumstances, Nemus, who was capable of striking at the land grabbers, 'willingly degenerates' and chooses to flee to Tailtail Town. Naturally, she despises this cowardly act.

Nems naturally wouldn't argue with the other party on this point.

It's good for young people to have ideals.

Nemes naturally still had ideals, but unfortunately his ideals were not aligned with those of the church.

They also clearly understand that changing the world requires more than just so-called passion.

Passion isn't a bad thing, but passion alone makes you a headless fly.

Nemes followed along methodically and soon arrived at the vicinity of the water jet.

A large number of specialized airships have already been moored here.

An anchor cable was attached to one side of the boat, and this cable was dropped into the blowhole.

Next, all that's needed is for the air column to be ejected, which will then pull the special vessel into the air column.

In other words, the moment you enter, the person sitting on it will feel a rapid change in the environment and will need some time to adapt.

However, the whole process wasn't actually that uncomfortable.

It's a bit like diving.

When you fall rapidly into the water from a height, you will feel completely overwhelmed by the water for a moment, but you will quickly adapt.

The same goes for the air column; there is airflow everywhere, so you don't have to worry about breathing. It feels like you've become a swimming fish.

Nemes sat on the boat without any discomfort.

He is now a steel species, a non-human with various strong adaptability.

Those improvements did not develop into special characteristics, but they were still far beyond those of ordinary people.

The boatman was adjusting the boat's position slightly before casting out his fishing net.

After a few seconds, I pulled it back.

Inside were some stones, wood and other miscellaneous items.

After some searching, he still managed to find a clump of white, paste-like solid.

That's whale scent, which has some value.

The boatman cast his net a few more times, but the catch was not great.

This made the boatman's face turn pale.

Getting from Qiquan City to Baiwei Town is easy, but getting back is much more troublesome.

Chapter 77 Looking for trouble

The air column quickly reached its destination, taking even less time than Gotthard's flying carpet, basically only about three hours.

The originally dense column of air began to thin out, and land and water could be seen not far away.

The boatman skillfully maneuvered the boat, then, riding the gradually weakening air currents, landed steadily on the water's surface. With the ripples, he brought the boat close to the shore.

Next, he will rest here for a while, sell the goods in the ship's hold, and then purchase some things. It will take him two to three days to travel downstream to return to Gas Spring City.

Aside from the air spring that sends a column of air directly to Baiwei Town, the floating whale has another special feature: when whales mate, the two whale tails are the closest to each other.

At that time, the two floating whales first communicated in the area of ​​Baiwei Town.

This is why, although Baiwei Town is not as prosperous as Qiquan City, it is bustling with people and its commerce is quite developed.

Although it is a town, its surrounding population and territory are no smaller than those of Kiquan City.

This has resulted in a large and diverse population in Baiwei Town.

The outlaws under Nemes's command were the other whales who escaped to Tailtail Town.

"Therefore, although you don't have to directly face the power struggles between the Golden Seeds in Baiwei Town, the complex environment here should not be underestimated."

"Ordinary steel products might not be able to hold off the various forces here."

In Baiwei Town, merchants, gangs, and nobles mingle together, making it difficult to distinguish one from another.

Although the Church oversees everything, and most of the time, the nobles stand with the Church, that is only most of the time.

With various interests intertwined, a newly arrived garrisoned Grand Knight, while unlikely to lose his life, will find himself in a precarious situation.

They won't kill you, but they'll find all sorts of ways to make you miserable.

Nemes had seen others go through something like this before.

Before the new official could even get going, his pet was skinned, its bones removed, and hung at the door, its blood splattered everywhere.

It's not that the murderer couldn't be found, but rather that the murderer didn't leave and simply waited to die on the spot.

Various factions have too many ways to cultivate a group of loyal followers.

Someone goes mad, kills your pet, confesses, and lets you do whatever you want with them.

But I just felt nauseous.

For those people, human life is worthless; as long as they can disgust you, that's enough.

If you don't back down and make things difficult for them, then all sorts of disgusting things will continue to happen.

Those people will stop at nothing.

They're capable of using all sorts of underhanded tactics.

For example, you could hire a prostitute (J) and have her stand at your doorstep, saying that you're freeloading and not paying, while she does so.

People gathered around to watch, and soon all sorts of rumors and gossip spread everywhere.

And these people who come to disgust you are like dead pigs; most of them aren't even afraid of death.

If you don't want to be disgusted by this endless cycle, then bow your head.

"I expect to face this situation as well."

“Datmenley will definitely not let this go so easily in order to force me back to my family and make me their breeding pig.”

"And given the various interests at stake, my life will certainly not be peaceful."

"Therefore, the first rule when encountering problems is to be ruthless."

"These people have complicated relationships. They're just taking advantage of your pride, your adherence to rules, and your inability to find the real mastermind behind this complex web of relationships, to know who's targeting you, and because you have no evidence."

"Without evidence, there is no legitimate basis for action."

“So, we must strike first!” Nems held the order signed by Guilliman, glanced at the boatman, and headed straight for the church in Tailtail Town.

He was certain that within half an hour, everyone of importance in Baiwei Town would know of his arrival.

The boatman will most likely also become part of the message relay.

Nems has no intention of keeping quiet; there's no need.

Anyway, his information will soon be known to everyone because of something.

As for which matter it is? Nems hasn't encountered it yet, but that's not difficult.

"After all, there are just too many things that could run into me in a town like this."

There is often a gap between rules and reality, and the existence of local bullies can render many rules ineffective.

All you need to do is seize the opportunity and head there, and you'll discover a multitude of problems.

Sure enough, before Nemes even reached the church entrance, he witnessed the 'injustice'.

"This is a contract you signed yourself; it's something you personally agreed to."

"Your daughter is coming with me today. You are a slave, and your daughter is a slave too!"

In the bustling city, a group of gang members dressed in flashy, open-chested long-sleeved shirts were surrounding two people.
