Devil's Bible

"Are you trying to frame me, to make me, a great knight, lead the way in breaking the rules?!"

“Young Master, you misunderstand.” The butler smiled slightly, showing no emotional fluctuation despite Naim’s refusal: “The accommodations inside the church have not yet been prepared, so it is normal to rest outside for the night.”

"Furthermore, this invitation from the family elders is also to introduce Lord Nair to someone who is of great importance to you."

"Young Master Nair probably doesn't know that you have a younger sister."

"That is, Miss Sissi."

Upon hearing this news, Nems narrowed his eyes.

coming!

Chapter 83 Princess Sissi

During the previous battle between Op and Poole, Op revealed some information about 'Nair' to attract Poole's attention.

However, there was one crucial piece of information he didn't reveal.

But the information was not false. Precisely because such a thing really existed, when Opp spoke of it, his expression and tone became relatively genuine.

After Oppe truly pledged allegiance to Nems, he immediately revealed this information—about Nems's sister.

Yes, when Niall discovered the truth eight years ago and angrily exposed these things, he had no idea that such a sister existed.

However, while traveling in Tail Town, Op discovered that the Dartmentley family had a 'sister' who was determined to kill Nell.

However, since he was a nobleman, Op didn't dare to investigate him too much at that time, but only roughly confirmed the truth of the matter.

"Whether you know it or not is meaningless. What determines one's stance is never bloodline, but will." Nemus knew this, but he did not intend to involve Nair's bloodline.

Even if it's true, she's just Neil's sister.

Moreover, that younger sister might have been brainwashed by the Dartmenley family since childhood, with her mind filled with the idea that Niall's sister is not right.

What use is this blood relationship?

In comparison, even Jacques would be better.

Jacques may be simple-minded and impulsive, but that's because he lacks experience.

Jacques actually grew a lot during the series of events in the village of Dorsal Fin.

If it were Nair instead of Naims, he might have firmly stood on Nair's side.

"Then I won't bother Young Master Nair any longer." The butler's face still held that unsmiling smile. After saying that, he turned and left without lingering.

Later that evening, the North District was dimly lit by oil lamps.

Unlike the village of Beiqi, where almost no one is active after dark, Baiwei Town still has quite a few people active even late at night.

The North District is for entertainment, while the South District is for labor.

"It seems that Nair is still unwilling to let go of his grudges," the head of the Dartmenley family said with a sigh as he sat in the inner room.

“Grandpa, there’s no need to wait for that person. I don’t think I can lose to him.”

"In two years, I will challenge him fair and square, then kill him to avenge my parents!"

"This guy has wasted his parents' hard work!" The speaker was a woman, a woman unlike any other noblewoman.

Unlike those elegantly dressed noble ladies, her attire was not elaborate; she wore practical monk's robes.

Even when attending banquets, she always carried a thin sword at her waist.

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she possessed a certain heroic air about her.

However, his handsome appearance was now ruined by the murderous intent in his brows.

"Sisi, he is, after all, your brother." The family head immediately offered words of comfort, but in reality, he was adding fuel to the fire.

"Furthermore, he has now become a Grand Knight, in charge of patrolling and maintaining order in the town of Baiwei."

"If he harbors resentment towards the family and causes trouble for them, like when he captured Xiao Hei this time, it will be extremely troublesome," the family head sighed.

"I'm going to find him!" Upon hearing the head of the family say this, the woman nicknamed Sisi, whose real name was Sisimari, gritted her teeth and said, her hand already gripping the hilt of her sword.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I won't fight. He's a great knight, how could he possibly bully a woman like me!"

"Let's see if he's still being reasonable!"

"Hey, Xixi, don't... act impulsively." Before he could finish the sentence, the family head saw Xixi run out, and his expression quickly became serious.

Acting with this stupid woman is exhausting.

“But there are advantages to being stupid. If her talent were even better, it would be even better,” Dartmenley thought.

As the head of the family, his name was deliberately downplayed, and he was simply referred to as Dartmenley.

Although Cecilia's talent is not bad, she is ultimately somewhat lacking in some ways.

With her bloodline talent and family resources, she might be able to reach a Steel-type stat of 70, but going any further is basically impossible.

This might be good, but it's not useful for the family.

Throughout history, the decline of noble families has primarily been due to a break in the flow of power at the gold level.

Without Gold-level power, no matter how many Steel-type creatures one possesses, their privileges will gradually diminish.

Nowadays, apart from one or two families, the nobles in Baiwei Town are no longer considered important by the nobles in Qiquan City.

The local bishop Rhine's family was one, and the other was the Dartmenti family.

The problem with the Dartmanley family is that the saint who founded the family died too young.

The foundation left behind was too small; apart from the sage's grandson achieving the Golden Seed status, the others did not receive much assistance.

They are called saintly nobles, but in reality they can only be considered golden nobles.

"The foundation of nobility is gold. Over the years, countless nobles have emerged and gradually disappeared."

"The so-called gold is that the lower part is like the upper part, and the upper part is like the lower part."

"Separation, combination, transformation, reshaping."

"Only in this way can alchemy be successfully completed!"

“Gold is the absolute center for distinguishing between the noble and the lowly.” Dartmanley was obsessed with alchemy and not only practiced breathing techniques but also had some knowledge of alchemy.

"The blood of saints must never be drowned by my own will!"

Dartmanley witnessed the Dartmanley family's heyday.

At that time, the family's golden seed was still there; it had not perished.

Within the family, everyone had special privileges and could access resources from the church; that was when the family was at its most glorious.

Unfortunately……

After the passing of the Golden Seed, the burden of the family fell on his shoulders, and he was determined not to let the family decline under his leadership.

“Since Nair has activated the essence of a saint, he must possess the corresponding holy blood…”

“If he is willing to return to the family, my entire clan will help him become a Golden Seed. Even if it costs me my life, it will be worth it.”

"If he doesn't want to go back to the family, then he can only blame me."

Under the flickering light of the oil lamp, Datmenley's gaze seemed to waver as well, a glimmer of gold appearing from it before vanishing again.

On the other side, Xixi gritted her teeth and walked out of the restaurant. She then summoned a horse, asked for Naimus's location, and rode straight to where Naimus was.

"Lord Nair, this is dinner." In the house assigned to Naim in the church district, Kru brought over some food.

The Vinaya Pitaka does not advocate a curfew; its main requirement is to avoid waste. Therefore, church meals often have leftovers that are kept rather than thrown away.

After spending half a day together, Kru had a general understanding of Nems' habits.

If he prefers luxury, he will go to some high-end pubs, hotels or private chefs in the North District to buy food.

Nems, being practical, went directly to the church's refectory and took some leftover food.

But at that very moment, the sound of horses galloping could be heard outside.

Chapter 84 You Dare to Kill My Horse

Nemus raised an eyebrow, and the next moment, a lot of rustling sounds came from inside.

Along with it came a stench of horse manure.

Clearly, someone rode in on horseback and then defecated here.

After the sound of hooves faded into the distance, a woman could be heard shouting, "Nell Dartmenley, you have no sense of honor, you have betrayed your family, your parents, and your honor, yet you have become a Grand Knight! If you have even a shred of honor left, then resign from your position as Grand Knight."

"This must be Nair's brainless, stupid sister." Naims pushed open the door and glanced outside.

Some clergy members are already watching the spectacle from the shadows.

Meanwhile, the so-called younger sister, Sisi, was riding her horse some distance away from Nemes' house.

"Kru, have someone clean it up."

Nemus calmly gave the order, showing no anger at the other side's disgusting tactics.

“Nair…” Upon seeing Naimus appear, Xixi was about to continue loudly belittling Naimus.

"Shoot her horse," Nemus ordered, and an arrow flew out the next moment.

Xixi immediately realized what was happening, pulled on the reins, and tried to turn the horse around.

However, the arrow came quickly and struck the horse directly.

The arrow flew through the air, leaving behind a trail of crimson blood mist.

The decent horse immediately lost its strength and fell to one side. Xixi quickly twisted her body and jumped up, landing to the side.

On the side, Poole, dressed in linen clothes, walked over with a cold face.

He looked up and bowed to Nems.

"You dare kill my horse?!" Xixi demanded sharply as soon as she landed.

"Is the First Patrol Team present?" Naims asked directly, ignoring Xixi's question.

As a result, several paladins among the onlookers had to put on an expression and quickly stepped forward.

"Members of the First Patrol Team greet the Grand Knight." *3.

"What is the penalty for riding a horse into the church district at night, according to the Paladin's Code of Governance?" Nemus asked.

"What crime is it to show contempt for a Grand Knight and to insult a Grand Knight?"

"Nair, did you hear me..." When Sisi saw that Nemus was completely ignoring her, she immediately walked over angrily to question him, but before she could finish speaking, she was sent flying backward.

My head was buzzing, and my mind was completely blank.

Then I first felt a burning sensation on my face, and then my whole body ached.

“Your Excellency, according to the law, this is a crime of disrespect.” Upon seeing Nemus’s behavior, a paladin immediately gave the answer: “The church is the domain of God, the abode of God’s shepherd. Those who are disrespectful must serve six months to three years of hard labor.”

"The Grand Knight is a key figure in the Church, and insulting him is a sin of disrespect, punishable by three months to a year of hard labor."

The so-called torture required the condemned to not wear fine clothes or adornments, not enjoy rich food, not live in luxurious residences, and to spend long hours praying and repenting before the idols of gods every day, as well as to perform obligatory labor, etc.

In cases of severe injury, the perpetrators are subjected to excruciating torture, including cutting their hands and feet, and then continuing this torture day after day.

The main message is that if you are disrespectful, you will be made to repent through suffering.

The problems can range from minor to serious. If they are minor, one can simply cut back on food and clothing, honestly be imprisoned and repent for a few months, and then be released.

In severe cases, someone might die in less than a month.

"Then let's get started, what are we waiting for?"

"He rode his horse into the church at night and allowed the horse to leave filth behind. He shall be severely punished and sentenced to three years of hard labor!"

Xixi, who had just regained consciousness on the ground, heard these words.

"Nair, how dare you do this if you don't want to?!"

"I'm a girl, I'm a noble lady, how could you hit me and even try to arrest me!!" Xixi roared angrily, her cheeks swollen and her voice cracking from the force of her blows, making her words exceptionally sharp and ferocious.

"Ignore him, arrest him and take him to be tortured." Nemus didn't even bother to glance at Xixi.

Just a foolish pawn unaware of its own stupidity.
