Devil's Bible

In that case, Isabella might as well do it herself.

With the help of magic, Isabella was able to approach a place completely silently.

Several spells were cast upon her, and Isabella immediately concealed her form and movements.

During this process, she even used her newly learned sealing technique.

Sealing techniques are quite mysterious, requiring the use of the relationships between things.

It is a special spell that is difficult to learn and master.

Most sealing spells on the market are actually not very good.

It's called a seal, but it's actually more of a suppression.

Sealing techniques aim to lock up as many things as possible with minimal force, while suppression directly uses brute force to overpower.

The two are not on the same level.

Isabella seemed to vanish completely, and then she entered the alley called Clean Alley.

Many doors on both sides of the alley were ajar, and the alley was quiet.

The rooms on both sides are most likely where the cleaners live.

Anyone who accidentally wanders into this alley could be abducted into a room and then disappear from the public eye.

Isabella could even smell the stench of many corpses here, as body parts were being transported out every day.

Soon, Isabella found a slightly cleaner room.

As the saying goes, you'll find yourself disliking whatever profession you choose to work in.

After cleaning themselves, the scavengers, once they come ashore, often find themselves increasingly disgusted by the stench of death on their bodies.

Therefore, in such an environment, the place where one stands out from the crowd is often where the leader is located.

Sure enough, when Isabella arrived at the edge of the house, she focused her attention slightly on her ears, and her senses began to spread rapidly, with the sounds inside the room quickly entering her ears.

"I told you to go and cause trouble, but it's either windy or rainy, how many days has it been?!" Inside the room, someone was questioning him.

"Don't be so angry!" Another voice seemed quite helpless as well.

"There's really no other way."

“We had already found the right person, but that guy went crazy, became insatiable, and turned himself into a demon.”

“We were dealing with it when suddenly another guy next door started demonizing in front of the clergy.”

"We've received a notice from above that we all have to go into hiding for the time being, so we really don't have time to do anything for you."

"That's your own problem. You gave guarantees when you accepted the goods." The person who raised the question didn't care about any of that.

"You need to understand that you've secured your current position not just by fabricating agreements."

"You were incredibly bold when you wanted to break free from the fictitious agreement, but now you're so secretive and obedient to it?"

"Do you really think our family is someone to be trifled with?" The threat in that person's words grew stronger and stronger.

"You don't need to worry about that, envoy. I will handle things properly in the remaining time." The leader of the Scavengers' voice turned slightly cold at this moment.

"I hope you really have that ability!" As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Isabella immediately held her breath and glanced at the door out of the corner of her eye.

Then she saw someone putting on a hood, and after a brief glance, Isabella memorized his face.

The face looked somewhat familiar, but Isabella couldn't quite place it at first.

Their attention gradually focused on the room.

As expected, the conversation inside the room did not end.

Another person who hadn't spoken before asked, "Boss, should we give chase...?"

Chapter 141 Inside Story

“No need!” The scavenger leader shook his head, rejecting his subordinate’s suggestion.

"Right now, we are working together, both openly and covertly, to put pressure on the cult leader."

"Strive to obtain the Rampage Accessory Type IV."

"Then truly gain control over the rights and interests of the fictitious agreement."

"We can't cause too much trouble outside. The Dartmenley family is, after all, a great noble family."

The other person's words immediately connected Isabella's memories, and she remembered who that person was.

“Byrne?” Isabella had visited the Dartmenley family before, and during that visit, she met Nair’s uncle, Byrne.

Jacques had also told her about the other person, because his sister had married Nair's father, and he had been very eager to get closer to him.

On the one hand, he helped the family manage some businesses, and on the other hand, he did some things that the Dartmentley family couldn't do on the outside.

This person was quite capable, so even after Nair left the family, he still gained Dartment's trust and worked for Dartment.

“Datmenley is cooperating with a fictitious agreement… no, with a part of the fictitious agreement?!” Isabella immediately became alert and continued to listen to what was happening inside.

At the same time, they also paid attention to the Rampage Accessory Type IV.

Currently, their intelligence only covers Type II, but now the fabricated agreement has even produced Type IV?

"I don't know what that brat Fass is capable of, to obtain Type IV, and now he's even going to hand over the entire fictional agreement to such a brat." The leader's sigh gave Isabella even more information.

It is said that very few people were appointed as bishops in the fictional agreement, and Fass was one of them.

It now appears that Fass, who is to become the future leader of the fictional agreement, is unable to convince the current followers, leading to internal strife within the fictional agreement.

This is actually good news.

Once chaos erupts within the fabricated agreement, their secrecy will be diminished, eventually dragging all those involved into the mess and bringing them all down.

“People like the Cleaners, since they are determined to rebel, will try to remove the restrictions of their own agreements.”

“Originally, even if we captured them, we might not have been able to obtain more intelligence information, but now that's no longer the case.”

Contracts are not so easy to break, especially when the location of the contract's entity is unknown.

However, if the signatory cooperates and gradually erodes the contract's effectiveness, then the situation is entirely different.

The church has considerable resources in this area and has even helped many people break their pacts with the devil.

Isabella was pondering whether to capture the scavengers and use them as a starting point when she overheard them continuing to discuss their next move.

"Although that kid is indeed not qualified, the Berserk Part IV is really powerful."

“If we want to defeat them, we still need to gain other support.” After hesitating for a moment, the Scavenger leader decided to take the risk: “Go and arrange for people to take action against the tavern and make a big scene.”

"Boss, this..." The subordinate seemed a little hesitant.

“We already have irreconcilable conflicts with the tavern, but since we’ve gotten involved with Dartmenley and the tavern, we have to choose one side to stand with.”

"The tavern is more disciplined. If we make a big scene, the church might not have time to pay attention to the details of our fabricated agreement," the leader said seriously.

"When you're making a move, just be careful not to reveal too much information about the Berserk accessories."

They had previously mastered some extraordinary cultivation techniques, but because their progress was too slow, they turned to the fictitious agreement.

It's just about rapidly increasing stats through Berserk accessories.

Compared to those who rely entirely on Berserk accessories, they have more diverse methods, but their characteristics are also less prominent.

That's why they felt that Phos, who relied entirely on Berserk accessories, was unworthy.

The conversation then ceased, the subordinates quickly left the room, and the leader fell silent.

Isabella, sensing the continued sound of the spell, did not linger and left Cleanse Alley.

After sharing the basic intelligence, they began to discuss the next steps.

“Things are going just as we expected. These people can’t resist, and they will inevitably act for their own benefit.” Gabriel’s hands were trembling slightly. Although he was talking about this, his thoughts had already turned to another area.

"If the fabricated agreement causes chaos, then the so-called cult leader behind it will surely appear in public, right?"

"At that time, I will let you see my Blood Sword again."

Previously, the Blood Sword he created had been criticized by Nemus for various flaws, and Nemus even turned around and improved upon it.

Now, all Gabriel wants to do is to unleash the swordsmanship he has been honing over the past six months once again.

"No, this matter still needs to be reported!" Al said angrily after hearing the news. "The Dartmenley family, as nobles, actually cooperated with a fictitious agreement. This must be reported and they must be investigated and punished."

“No, this involves too many issues.” Brent shook his head quickly. He looked around and noticed that David and the other elders of the church all looked solemn.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "According to my family, the tavern is very likely connected to many people in the church."

"Datmenley's targeting of the tavern is very likely..."

At this point, Brent could no longer continue.

At this moment, Gabriel, who was determined to prove himself again, seemed to have thought of some kind of rumor.

Isabella had just arrived and was unaware of the problem, so she didn't rush to ask.

Suddenly, it seemed that only Al was puzzled as to why a tavern, a place that sold whale products, would be associated with the church.

"Is it related to Grand Knight Nair?" Isabella asked calmly only after everyone had calmed down.

When looking at things, one must look at their essence. Isabella has a certain understanding of what is most important to the Dartmenley family right now.

By working backward from the essence, we can quickly discover the key contradictions and conflicts, and then identify the two parties involved in the conflict.

No one answered, but at times like this, the fact that no one answered was itself an answer.

Isabella frowned, sensing that things were getting complicated.

What was originally a simple cult incident suddenly turned into a struggle between the nobility and the church.

"If I remember correctly, the previous Grand Knight Xibin was stripped of his position for smuggling whale products to a cult."

“I will ask Grand Knight Nair and hope he can give me an answer,” Isabella said. Al immediately followed behind Isabella, also wanting to question Nemus about why he was involved in smuggling!

Chapter 142: The Lack of Power

When Isabella found Nemes, he was handing the corrected documents to Kru.

As Isabella watched Kru take the documents and leave the room, she couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

Especially the glasses the other person was wearing.

Before he could take a closer look, Al beside him asked a question first.

"Great Knight, why do you cooperate with those smugglers?" Al questioned sharply, looking at Nemus as if he were a criminal.

It has to be said that Al is indeed pure, so pure it's sick.

Isabella hadn't expected Al to be so brave, regardless of whether there was any evidence or whether the matter had been definitively classified.

In terms of the superior-subordinate relationship alone, Al has no right to question in this way.

Even the adjudication team can only come and conduct an investigation.

Unless the evidence is conclusive and the matter escalates to the point where Nemus loses his title as Grand Knight, no one else can question him so loudly.

Nemes looked up at Isabella before turning to Al.

"Medical expenses are three gold coins, food expenses are three gold coins, training medicine is seven gold coins, and I won't even mention other miscellaneous expenses. All told, Al, you probably owe me thirteen gold coins." Nems didn't directly answer the question, but said this instead.

“There are no such expenses, paladin training…” Al immediately retorted, he had nothing to do with a villain like Nemus who cooperated with smugglers.

“Indeed, there is.” Isabella’s testimony interrupted Al.

"Whether it's a paladin or a priest, or even a member of the church, it requires a lot of money from the moment they join."

Gold coins have strong purchasing power, but everything belonging to the clergy is valued in gold.

"The church in Tailwind Town is in serious financial trouble," Nemus said seriously at this moment.

"Before I took over, the trainee paladins not only didn't receive a salary, but they also had to pay for many things themselves."

"Given your financial situation, even if you joined the church, you wouldn't be qualified to truly become a trainee paladin."

Paladins are much cheaper to train than spellcasters, but that's only relative.

Compared to ordinary people, each paladin consumes the resources that an ordinary person would consume in a month or even more each day.
