Devil's Bible

"Ahhh!" Seeing that the two nearby paladins were really going to grab her, Xixi immediately screamed loudly, her hand even touching the hilt of her rapier.

Seeing this, both paladins, who were experienced in combat, immediately changed their attitude when they saw the other party gripping a weapon.

Fortunately, Xixi still had some 'ability'. She regained some of her composure and quickly said, "I am a nobleman's offspring, and I have immunity."

"And I came here to find Nair, so I was in a hurry and that's why I rode my horse."

"Besides...besides...what kind of problem is it for a sister to scold her brother!" Only at this moment did Xixi shyly reveal that she was Nair's sister.

Then, Xixi suddenly looked at Nemus, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, "Nel, are you even being reasonable?"

"Do you really need to make such a big deal out of this?"

"You betrayed your family, betrayed the honor of your bloodline, wasted your parents' hard work, and abandoned me, your younger sister. Now that you're back, can't I even say a few words to you?!"

"What, did I say something that hurt you?"

Sisi was still unwilling to admit defeat. She wanted to see Nemus furious and frustrated, to make him suffer and be miserable. That would be the best revenge!

"So-called blood ties are nothing more than a bond for incompetent people to band together for warmth. It is boring enough in itself, so where is the glory in it?"

"Glory is only ever about power. When your power surpasses mine, then come and talk to me about what glory is."

After saying that, Nemus drew the sword of a paladin from the side, and then the sword flashed in his hand.

"Ah!" All that could be heard from the other side was a scream.

Sisi was tortured by Nemes himself, with cuts made in both her hands and feet.

And during this process, Nemus, whose swordsmanship was not good, accidentally veered off course and cut Sisi's mouth.

With his mouth full of blood, a section of his tongue was cut off, and many of his teeth had fallen out, so naturally he couldn't make any sound.

The paladins in the first team didn't dare to linger either; Nemus's attitude had already explained everything.

So they immediately grabbed Xixi, restrained her movements, and took her to prison.

On the other side, Kru ignored the storms and had already used magic to cleanse the filth.

He stood aside, waiting for Nems's instructions, while glancing at the simply dressed Poole.

Based on previous events, Poole appears to be loyal to the Grand Knight.

Furthermore, Nems had previously ordered the horses to be shot, which suggests he placed a great deal of trust in Poole.

Is this person probably a squire of the Grand Knight?

There are different kinds of squires. A typical squire is someone who makes a living by relying on the church.

However, the squires of a great knight are actually just subordinates without the status of a paladin.

"It seems necessary to cultivate a good relationship with him?" Kru's mind raced, and the next moment, he saw Nemes turn around and look at him.

The discerning look in his eyes made Kru feel a chill.

Chapter 85 Key Revelation

Have I been exposed?

How did I get exposed?

"It must be a coincidence." Three thoughts flashed through my mind.

Despite being a priest, Kru maintained a calm demeanor and emotional composure throughout.

"Interesting?" Nems couldn't see anything wrong with Kru, but this time, it was 'fate' that caused the fluctuation.

To be precise, it is the 'revelation' obtained after practicing the Breath of Sacred Law.

When practicing the Breath of Holy Law, one acquires discipline, which is similar to the special characteristics gained by a Discipline Paladin by solidifying the life aura with holy nails.

The gift of discipline is far less convenient than the discipline Nemus received from Godhood.

However, this is quite normal, since divinity is the essence of the God of Discipline, and the Holy Nail Technique is merely something created by the Church of Discipline, an organization that worships the God of Discipline.

Nems was naturally quite adept at practicing the Holy Law Breath once again.

As for the precepts that can be obtained through cultivation, Nemus does not value them. Instead, he chooses to strengthen the existing Precept of Forgiveness obtained from the Holy Nail, so that Nemus can receive more mitigation when suffering attacks from the Ironblood.

The key point is that after practicing the Breath of Sacred Law, one can place oneself within the laws of heaven and earth, thereby gaining enlightenment.

"After I obtained the motto of destiny, my sense of destiny became stronger."

"The power of revelation has thus been altered."

"In that case, I'm starting to have doubts about whether I should further advance the Breath of Holy Law." Nemus himself did not intend to cultivate the Breath of Holy Law to a relatively advanced level.

Because back then, this breathing technique was one of the reasons why it was sacrificed to become a prayer angel.

Having understood the nature of numbers, Nemes understood this even more clearly.

The Breath of Holy Law, a breathing technique, can increase the number of species without using other resources.

That means that cultivators must obtain seeds through some kind of channel.

Numbers don't come out of thin air, at least not from a breathing technique.

"These breathing techniques and meditation methods that claim to improve one's spiritual level through practice are all bait for fishing."

Therefore, Nemus had no intention of continuing to advance the Holy Law Breath, precisely because he didn't want to fall into another trap.

Who knows, some of the golden ones might suddenly decide that you're too difficult to control, so they might as well sacrifice you and send you up to become a prayer angel instead.

“However, perhaps the plan can be slightly changed now.” Nemes’ thinking was not rigid, and he quickly thought of a problem.

That means the one using the Breath of Holy Law to fish is most likely the God of Discipline.

He obtained one-fifth of the divine authority of the Commandments and also mastered a portion of the maxims of destiny.

Could he also become a semi-expert in fishing?

If that's the case, then he needs to continue practicing the Breath of the Holy Law, not just practicing it, but also thoroughly studying it.

“But Kru and Poole…” Nemus’s attention gradually turned to the previous revelation.

In the instant Kru looked at Poole, Nemus had an epiphany—that these two people would be a key asset in his future growth.

As for what kind of help it provided, Nems didn't know.

Revelation is, after all, just a premonition, not a prediction.

“I know Poole very well. He is talented, loyal to me, and his faith is at the level of devotion. It’s not surprising that he provided key assistance to my growth.”

"And what about Kru? A church pastor with a talkative personality?"

"And why?"

"And there's future growth, which I can vaguely sense, and it's extremely crucial." Nemus squinted slightly, recalling the feeling brought about by the revelation.

Then some images flashed by.

However, those images were too blurry, and seemed to be pieced together from countless images, with many possibilities within them.

“Isabella, Poole, and Kru… the rope of oath… the clock…” In a daze, Nemus could only extract these few elements from them.

"It seems I'll need to gather more information about Isabella later." Nemus noted this down and also began to pay attention to Isabella.

After Isabella woke up, she was taken to the City of Air Springs.

Then Nems broke off contact with the other party.

Normally, Isabella would spend six months to a year in spiritual practice to heal her mental wounds before becoming a formal priest in some place.

"Six months to a year? That makes sense." Nems' revelation couldn't perceive the distant future, probably only about a year from now.

In other words, I will likely encounter a key growth opportunity in the coming year.

“So, I still have at least six months to develop.” As Nems thought this, he asked Kru to find a place to stay near the church so that Poole could be settled.

Among his subordinates, Poole, as the village keeper, was naturally taken to Tailtail Town by the church personnel along with the villagers of Backfin Village.

He had been lying low in the southern district.

As the village keeper, naturally no one contacted him.

Until Nemes arrived.

As for Op and the others, they are still in the wild at this moment.

Most of them had already died in the open.

To reintegrate into society, a new and legitimate identity is required.

Furthermore, Aupu had some acquaintances who knew him from his previous business dealings in Baiwei Town.

Therefore, Op and others still need to undergo a certain degree of transformation.

Otherwise, a town of 500,000 people—not too small, not too big—might be recognized at any time.

However, this is not too troublesome. After Nemes establishes a foothold in Tailwind Town, he can arrange for Op and the others to enter the city.

However, before that, Angel A, as well as Leah and Downs, who are all new faces without any problems, can come and help me first.

He is currently being watched openly by many people, so he can't do things in secret.

We still need manpower.

"There are too many people in this city who are frustrated and unfulfilled."

“They witnessed the prosperity of the North District across the Weizhong River, while they could only roll in the mud in the South District, selling their bodies, labor, and dignity to make a living.”

"They won't care whether the opportunity is evil or not, as long as they are given it."

"This is also why various gangs and cults have sprung up."

“Now, I’m going to give them a chance…” Nemus glanced back at the South District before entering the room.

Both the north and south were brightly lit, but in the south district, countless people were still staying up all night selling themselves.

That was a huge market of faith.

The God of Discipline cannot monopolize everyone's faith.

It can only be said that the social environment of the phobic whales leads most of them to tend to have one god and one territory on their backs.

It is rare to find a whale carrying multiple deities simultaneously.

This also creates a problem: if there is only one type of church, there will inevitably be marginalized groups that are abandoned by the mainstream belief system due to the monopoly of faith.

These people are his greatest help.

Thank you for your support!!!

Chapter 86 Numerical Improvement

The next morning, Nemes arrived at a training ground in the church district.

At this moment, most of the paladins and trainee paladins are here for their daily training.

Upon seeing Nemus's arrival, most of the paladins bowed and softly addressed him as "Great Knight."

In just one day, Nemus had already proven himself to be a ruthless character by eliminating the Black Viper and personally sending his sister to torture.

Without other direct conflicts of interest, no one would provoke Naims on matters of basic etiquette.

Today marks the official start of Nemus's career as a Grand Knight.

As a Grand Knight and the second-in-command of Tailwind Town, he has quite a few things to deal with.

In particular, the position of Grand Knight has been vacant for half a month, and a lot of things have accumulated.

After finishing his morning exercise, Nems went into his office, where Kluth had already organized the work documents.

As for Poole, he was given the necessary paperwork and approvals by Kru early this morning, and then he stood next to Nemes, awaiting Nemes's orders.

“Cults need to be investigated further.”

"It seems that adult whale dung beetles have appeared over there, and we need to send someone to deal with them."

"Promotion approval for trainee paladins".

"Regular inspections of each area."

"Control and restrictions on prohibited items."
