Devil's Bible

Chapter 125 Advertisement

Gabriel felt as if all the blood vessels in his body were knotted together.

His body quickly went limp, and he subsequently lost the ability to move.

“Alright, stop.” Nemus said softly, his words carrying an undeniable authority.

Booker immediately stopped. Galen had originally planned to launch an attack immediately, but he also felt a chill on his body, and his sword swing stopped involuntarily.

Only Brent gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Regardless, Gabriel was his current companion, and he was going to rescue him.

"He does have some chivalry." Nemus looked at Brent charging towards him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Gabriel harbors darkness within him, yet also possesses his own principles, making him a highly valuable asset. Therefore, he inflicts upon Phos the same suffering as Phos's family, assuming the identity of Phos.

Although the feud between Phos and Gabriel cannot be resolved, at least it allows them to exert their strength from different positions without interfering with each other.

As for Galen, he was just a jealous man with limited talent.

On the contrary, Brent is indeed a talented person.

Although it's unlikely that such a person would be on his side, Nemes still admired him.

His intervention this time was merely to define the nature of this incident.

Several steel balls bounced.

Brent squinted, sensing the continuous ripples emanating from the blade.

Swinging swords and slashing.

The blade danced, deflecting the incoming steel balls.

But the next moment, Brent found that his pace was gradually slowing down.

Compared to Phos's previous action of releasing dozens of steel balls at once, Nemus's release of them one by one indeed posed a much smaller threat.

However, its operability has been greatly improved.

Each one was aimed at his vital points. He either dodged or slashed at each one with his sword. Before he knew it, his movements were under control.

"You don't need to be so agitated." Nemus fired the last steel ball, which struck Brent directly in the chest, halting his charge and making it difficult for him to breathe.

However, Nemus did not kill him, but instead spoke loudly.

"I only had a small collaboration with the Floating World Society, which is how I obtained the position of elder."

"Right now, it's just selling some demonic power and giving these people at the bottom a chance. Why make a big deal out of it?"

Nemes resorted to sophistry, crying wolf.

Even when it's clearly their own problem, they preemptively accuse others of being unreasonable and won't let it go.

Most importantly, in the process, Nemes raised a big banner—the people at the bottom of society.

Therefore, even if the church has the right to exercise jurisdiction over this matter, it will be greatly reduced as a result.

Of course, Nemus's real purpose was to leak the false information that he was the elder of the Floating World Society who had not yet been captured, and to impersonate Becky.

As things stand, the scale and prospects of the fictitious agreement far surpass those of the Floating World Society.

However, once Nemes's title as the cooperative elder is established, the fabricated agreement will naturally be regarded as an organization at a lower level than the Floating World Society, before it causes too much trouble.

The perception that "it's just a small organization formed by a surviving, marginal elder" was thus established.

In the end, this battle was just a fight between three trainee paladins and some lower-class people who had gained demonic powers. Not even a real demon appeared, so it wasn't a big deal.

However, at the same time, the impact of this event is not insignificant.

Phos's combat prowess was fully demonstrated in this battle.

“Just like Phos.” Nems spread his arms, attracting the attention of many people.

The people in the South District are less afraid of death than you might imagine; many of them are bloodthirsty spectators.

After the battle began, there were more onlookers than expected.

In the past, there have even been instances where eating the flesh of a paladin could grant power, leading to incidents in the Southern District where a paladin was sacrificed and his body was looted and dismembered by countless people.

Now, those who are even slightly intelligent have already learned some of this information.

For example, fictitious agreements could allow the sale of power in batches.

Nemus slightly pulled open Phos's collar, revealing black patterns from his chest to his collarbone, then to his neck, and finally to his earlobe. These patterns resembled a restless flame.

"This is a berserk accessory I developed, which allows the recipient to directly awaken the power of their mental energy."

"When paired with the alchemical bracers, a battle similar to the one we just fought can be formed." Nemus wasn't lying, but there was a slight discrepancy in his narration.

Phos's "just now" is "just now," and Nems's "just now" is also "just now."

Phos's situation is normal, while Nemus's meticulous control over the steel balls is the ultimate goal of berserk accessories.

Perhaps it was only after Fasdo went berserk several times, completely aligning with his berserk mental energy, and undergoing a long period of training, that he was able to achieve this.

At this point, we can only say that 'the pictures are for reference only, and the actual product shall prevail.'

However, the others are unaware of this, as the appeal of the 'picture' released by Nemes has already taken effect.

Among the onlookers, countless people were moved by this.

Having become bloodthirsty spectators, they naturally also wanted to become part of the blood-drinking crowd in the arena.

Previously, they didn't have many ways to control their power, but now—

The name 'Crazy Accessories' became deeply ingrained in people's minds at that moment.

"Then goodbye!" Nems said, and then withdrew from Phos's body.

Phos has not yet matured. If his mind is invaded for too long, he may develop a mental illness as a result.

With Nemus gone, Phos regained control of his body.

Phos could feel the vast difference. The mental energy that was obedient in Nemus's hands was now subject to a thousand problems when he tried to control it himself.

Even though Nems was an outsider, he was the original owner of these spiritual powers.

However, this thought was fleeting, and Phos soon began to finish up.

Before leaving, Nemes gave him the choice of whether or not to kill Gabriel.

That's right, while Nemus did have the idea of ​​recruiting Gabriel, it didn't conflict with letting Fass choose whether or not to kill Gabriel.

Although this was just a showcase event, the main purpose of the event has already been accomplished.

However, the pretext used was still for Fass's revenge.

“I will not forgive you.” Phos looked at Gabriel, who was growing weaker on the ground. “This time, I did not defeat you personally.”

"Next time, next time I will kill you!"

After saying this, Fass glanced one last time at Al, who seemed to be dead not far away, and then beckoned Booker to leave.

As the two left, the pastor stationed at the church outpost arrived to provide support.

Upon seeing this, Brent swayed and collapsed.

Chapter 126 Half a Year Later

“An unfamiliar ceiling.” Brent opened his eyes, his hand unconsciously reaching for his chest.

There was a scar there, about the thickness of a finger, like a hole.

Even though almost half a year has passed, he is still immersed in that battle.

"I remember now, I'm here to pick someone up today." Brent sat up in bed, remembering his mission.

Six months ago, because they failed to truly investigate the individuals behind the fabricated agreement and some key members, Fass, Booker, and others escaped.

So Brent's promotion ultimately failed.

However, since taking office, that Grand Knight Nair has vigorously promoted the church's welfare mechanisms.

So a month ago, he, who originally had to wait in line, got another chance and successfully killed a small demon wandering in the wild, becoming a formal paladin.

Today is also his first day officially taking office and arriving at his new post, and on his very first day, he has new additional tasks.

There is a pastor near Baiwei Town who has completed his transfer application and is coming from that village. He needs to meet him along the way.

Brent dressed and washed up, then ate some simple dry rations. After checking the area around the house and confirming that no dangerous creatures were approaching, he began to patrol along both sides of the road.

He now belongs to the sixth squad of Baiwei Town.

As Nemus relaxed the assessment criteria for trainee paladins, the scope of paladins' work also expanded.

For example, Nems increased field patrols.

In the past, people who committed crimes in Baiwei Town would habitually run to the wilderness.

Because of the complex terrain and numerous dangerous creatures in the wild, it is generally difficult to search for them.

Naims believes that, in any case, the trade routes between Baiwei Town and the surrounding villages and towns still need to be kept safe.

Therefore, a number of outposts were set up around the trade route to protect its safety while also guarding against wanted criminals who might escape into the wilderness.

This policy has been well received by most business people.

In the past, safety on trade routes in the wilderness depended entirely on the quality of the guards hired by the merchants and their luck.

Although the situation remains the same, as long as you can get to the vicinity of the outpost, you will at least have one more option to survive.

Those wanted criminals also have various needs; they cannot obtain commercially produced goods from humans in the wild.

Therefore, they often come to the side of the trade route to commit robbery or similar acts.

With the arrival of the knights stationed along the trade routes, this situation improved dramatically.

Although there were occasional injuries, it did achieve the desired effect.

For example, another elder of the Floating World Society who had previously fled to the wilderness was thus exposed, his location was discovered, and he was killed by Mr. Poole.

In addition, there were some wanted criminals with minor offenses who couldn't bear the harsh conditions in the wild and chose to surrender.

Brent knew very well that he needed to be careful in the wild; dangerous creatures were a minor issue, but the wanted criminals were the real problem.

Their primary task is to investigate any unusual activity in their surroundings during patrols; fighting with people is not their main function.

They act as an early warning system; once they lose contact, it means something is amiss, and what follows is a comprehensive, tight-loop investigation.

The clattering of hooves alerted Brent.

He moved slightly closer to the cover, looked into the distance, and gazed at the approaching person.

The first thing to appear was a white horse, followed by the people on its back.

For just a moment, Brent thought he saw the fairy princess.

Her golden hair flowed, making everything seem to be in slow motion.

However, Brent immediately came to his senses, because the woman had slowly stopped her horse and was looking in his direction with her icy blue eyes.

"Is it the garrison paladin who came to pick me up?"

"Hello, I'm Isabella, the new priest of Tailtail Town." Her bright smile was enough to make countless people stunned.

Even though Brent was currently focused entirely on his spiritual practice, he still felt Isabella's charm.

Brent marveled at Isabella's charm, but still followed the rules, blushing slightly as he said, "Hello, I am the paladin stationed on Trade Route Six. Please show me your credentials."

After completing the handover and confirming Isabella's identity, Brent led Isabella along the trade route towards Baiwei Town.

"How is Grand Knight Nair doing in Tailtown?" Isabella asked, leading her white horse along the way.

To this day, she still cannot be completely certain about what happened in the backfin village, there is absolutely no problem.

She vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Nemus was definitely not a simple person. After she was controlled and fainted after fighting the old priest, something special must have happened.

Nemes' victory over the old priest was not as simple as the report suggested.

The simplest point is Jacques.

Jacques was probably under control just like her, so why did she survive while Jacques disappeared?
