Devil's Bible

The head of the church is more like an elder who connects the various factions; he is useful, but not particularly useful.

That is why, even when the leader died, it did not affect the continued operation of the Floating World Society.

This time, having profited from the clergy of the latrine, they captured the noble family and located the manor that was the core of the Floating World Society.

Using this as a starting point, the adjudication team, in conjunction with some information provided by that noble family, investigated and identified some people who had been in contact with this manor during this period. Under focused investigation, most of the elders of the Floating World Society were arrested.

The elders possess a list of followers below, and although these may not be their real identities, they at least have relatively accurate information about their characteristics and contact details.

Many people probably haven't heard the news of the elders' arrest yet. If they're not vigilant enough, they could simply be lured out and arrested by using information about the gathering.

Even if they don't come out, as long as you investigate based on the information, you can usually catch them.

There are very few people who can completely conceal their identity and leave no trace when interacting between a normal identity and a cult identity.

"So far, only two elders have not been captured, one of whom has already fled to the wilderness."

"The other person has been very secretive since joining. Even the leader doesn't know his identity, only that he is definitely a spellcaster close to the level of the Iron Seed."

"And the followers who followed these two elders are estimated to be only seven or eight left, which is not many."

"In general, the Floating World Society, which originally had nearly two hundred members, is now estimated to have only about twenty members left."

"Furthermore, many of these people have lost contact with their superiors, so even if they wanted to carry out cult activities again, they would be powerless to do so."

Klu reported all the information.

For example, there are still some people who are suspected, but there is no direct evidence to prove that they are related to the Floating World Society.

These people have certain identities, so they cannot be arrested directly.

"Then let the adjudication team lift the state of emergency and shift their monitoring from all other aspects to these suspected targets."

“The church has become too slow lately.”

“Yes, sir!” Klure immediately replied.

This step also indicates that the trade in whale products will resume.

Because of his performance over this period, Naim is entitled to a 20% cut of all trade.

It may not seem like much, but it represents the entire whale product trade in the northern region.

A few whale dung pellets alone could feed an average family of three for a month.

With the order issued, the city returned to its former tranquility, at least on the surface.

The Floating World Society has suffered a major blow. Although some members remain, they are unlikely to achieve anything significant.

“However, the Floating World Society is very likely just a front for something else.” Nemus looked at the various documents that followed, pondering the information he had gathered.

It has been confirmed that there may be a 'chairman' or similar figure hidden behind the Floating World Society.

"Otherwise, if that golden medicine is refined now, who will use it?!"

Nemes recalled the well in the wild, then turned back to look at the information that Angel A had secretly gathered during this time.

Based on the assumption that whoever might benefit is likely the mastermind, several names came to mind for Nemus.

Currently, there are fewer than thirty people openly working in the steel industry in Baiwei Town.

There might be more in secret, but it won't exceed fifty people.

Among them, only two or three people have the potential to be promoted to Gold-level.

“The noble ‘Ben’ family, head of the family—Czech de Ben.”

"Bai Te, son of the chairman of the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce."

"The Church, the Bishop—Rhine."

Chapter 101 The Golden Medicine Appears Again

"Who could it be?" Nems really felt that this world was quite interesting.

Everyone has their own thoughts. There are many talented people in Beiqi Village, and the same is true for Baiwei Town.

Of course, aside from these three individuals having the potential to advance to the Gold rank, the Dartmenley family has been going through a period of turmoil recently, and it is said that some members of the family may also have the potential to advance to the Gold rank.

However, the Floating World Society has been established for quite some time, and the Dartmanley family has been making constant moves since entering Baiwei Town.

Support the Black Viper and the White-tailed Fox to compete for interests with other forces.

It lacks the strength and time to support the Floating World Society.

"In any case, it will be some time before the golden medicine is refined. Now that it has been interrupted, that person will probably not be able to advance for a while."

“In this situation, there’s no need to worry too much. I should focus on my own advancement.” Nemus took out the Book of Time.

The outer shell of the Book of Time was made of a special kind of wood that Nemus couldn't identify.

The paper inside the Book of Time is delicate parchment, on which are now densely covered with writing.

However, upon closer inspection, Nemus discovered that while the words looked like sacred cryptic texts, they were not actually cryptic.

So-called sacred esoteric texts are simplified versions of sacred scripts, used for recitation and chanting.

Nems naturally recognized sacred texts, but the words he was looking at were much more complex, approaching sacred script, yet he hadn't gained enough insight from them.

"So, we still need to obtain the fairy bloodline potion to understand these words?" Nemus had already had Xibin's family taken into custody, and Xibin's body had been prepared and sent over.

"I'll find an opportunity to go and take a look when the time comes. In any case, I'm still very interested in the secrets of the legendary species."

Nemes then turned his attention to the Dartmenley family.

Ever since the day the Dartmanley family's butler met her, and after Sisi escaped from prison and went into hiding, the family had been very well-behaved and had not shown any unusual behavior.

The Dartmanley family even cooperated to some extent when Nemes led the team to arrest the Fauvist cultists.

The silence seemed somewhat strange.

“Especially Xixi, she doesn’t seem like someone who could hold it in for so long.” Nemus didn’t think he was wrong about her.

Cecilia's personality was distorted from a young age.

Almost a week has passed now. Given her condition, it's absolutely impossible for her to have hidden peacefully in a place like the South District for so long without causing any disturbance.

Perhaps it's true that if someone is on your mind, that person will receive a message.

Nemes was pondering the situation of the Dartmenley family when Kru, who was beside him, obtained the latest intelligence from the Grid.

“Sisimari has been found—she’s gone mad.”

Nems showed a slightly surprised expression upon hearing the news.

"It is said that the white-tailed fox betrayed the Dartmenley family."

"After Cecilia fled to her, she was imprisoned by the white-tailed fox and subjected to inhuman torture. During the torture, Cecilia went insane."

"It was during this period that one of White-tailed Fox's subordinates became involved in the Floating World Society. After being captured, he revealed this information."

“Sissimari has now been brought back.”

“Let’s go, let’s go see him.” Nemus stood up, vaguely sensing that he had grasped something.

The Dartmanley family's initial attitude was very clear, subtly implying both a threat and a desire to win them over.

Simply put, it's a carrot and stick approach.

In this situation, most of his actions would be prevented, making it difficult for him to move an inch in Baiwei Town. At that point, he would be unable to advance or retreat, and would ultimately have no choice but to rely on the Dartmenley family, with whom he had a blood relationship.

Inviting guests, beheading, and taking them in as dogs are roughly derivatives of this approach.

It's not exactly new, but if Nems isn't capable enough, he simply won't be able to counter this kind of scheme, and the chances of success are still quite high.

In this situation, Nemes struck first.

After that, the Dartmenley family's attitude changed.

When Sisi broke in that night to cause trouble, the Dartmenley family couldn't possibly stop her. In other words, Sisi's arrest was actually within the Dartmenleys' expectations.

"Their attitude towards me has changed." As Nemes thought this, that vague feeling became clear, and he understood Dartmenley's thoughts.

"Indeed, there are no eternal enemies in this world."

To the average person, Nair's betrayal of his family led to its decline, from a noble family in Airspring City to a place like Tailtail Town.

This is an absolute feud.

That was indeed the case at first; Datmenley harbored ill intentions towards Nair.

Even after Nemes took over and used various means to facilitate the awakening of the Holy Bone, and spread the reputation of the awakening of the Saint's essence, the Dartmenley family's thoughts did not change much.

They used various means to force Nemus to return to the family, with the sole purpose of stealing and plundering Nemus's research results.

However, everything has changed now.

Poole opened the cell door. Cecilia was still a wanted fugitive, and after being caught, she was naturally put back in prison.

Nemus stepped inside and saw Cecilia with a completely broken expression.

The former Miss Sissi was now in a sorry state, slumped in the hay, her body trembling as Nemus walked into the prison.

"According to the person in the know, the White-tailed Fox must have obtained some kind of human alchemy secret technique, which allows it to use people with bloodlines as the elements for alchemy. It has been causing a lot of trouble for Cecilia during this period."

Drawing the Forest Sword, Nemus used the tip to lift a corner of Cecilia's clothes, revealing needle marks all over her body.

"It's the Golden Medicine again!" At this moment, Nemus finally understood what the sincerity the butler meant when he saw him for the last time.

It was this crazy, eccentric woman, Cecilia, standing right in front of me.

To be precise, it is a golden medicine refined using this Cecilia as a vessel.

The white-tailed fox's desire to advance to the Iron species was merely a ruse.

What truly caused all of this was Dartment's magnum opus of research over the years.

Back then, Nair's parents and some family members became 'medicine'.

It nurtured the younger generation of some families, such as Jacques.

And now, this younger generation has also become the raw material for medicine.

The goal, of course, is to truly cultivate a genuine golden seed.

"From this point of view, the Dartmenley family is very sincere and genuinely wants to welcome me back to the family."

"And if I'm willing to accept, I estimate that the position of head of the Dartmenley family will be mine next."

“A half-finished gold elixir.” Naims narrowed his eyes as he looked at Cecilia.

Chapter 102 I am not yet strong, but when I am strong, things will change.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Nems has no reason to refuse.

First of all, he is not Neil and has no psychological trauma related to this kind of thing.

Secondly, he does need to reach the gold mine as soon as possible in order to better deal with the situation ahead.

Then, once he agrees, he can easily take over the entire Dartmanley family, and his future endeavors, whether it's establishing a cult or taking control of Tailtail Town, will be much smoother.

Finally, if this matter is not agreed to, it will only provoke the Dartmenley family to take desperate measures and give up any hope of reconciliation with Nemes, leading to a series of problems.

It's all benefits and no harm; there's no reason to refuse something like that.

Nems, however, did not rush to make a decision.

After briefly checking on Cecilia's condition, Nemes left the prison.

Soon, Nems arrived at a fairly decent mansion.

The mansion's gates were tightly shut, and there were no signs indicating that it belonged to the family.

Upon Nemes' arrival, the servants immediately opened the gate to welcome him.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people inside the mansion.

Then, Xibin's entire family appeared in the mansion's hall.

"Welcome, Lord Nair." The old woman swallowed the hatred for her son's murder, but that was all.

In the current situation, they have no means of revenge, and in fact, for the sake of their future livelihood, they will have to serve their future enemies.

In contrast, Zovin's emotions were not hidden as skillfully.
