Devil's Bible

Chapter 119 Feedback on the Holy Path (Twentieth Chapter Since Release)

"My lord, it won't be long before Dartmanley discovers that I have sided with you." The white-tailed fox made his position clear.

During their brief time together, the white-tailed fox chose to trust Nemus.

The Dartmanley family is aristocratic, and it's perfectly normal for aristocrats to be untrustworthy towards someone like her.

Normally, if this were to get out, no one else would have any negative impression of the Dartmenley family; on the contrary, they would probably laugh at her.

Whether or not Nems is ruthless, one thing is true.

That is, Nemes treated her as a person.

The white-tailed fox, having seen countless people, was naturally able to confirm this.

She saw many contradictions in Nems.

He has no reverence for life, yet he can completely disregard social status and treat people like her as human beings.

This contradictory attitude makes Nems all the more charming.

"Oh?" Nems nodded, neither surprised nor suspicious of the White-tailed Fox.

It is estimated that Dartmanley initially used the White-tailed Fox as a pawn. When he saw that Cecilia was almost finished being refined, he detonated the lightning within the White-tailed Fox's forces.

They successfully delivered Cecilia to Nems.

This is why the white-tailed fox fled after the incident, but did not go to Dartmenley, her master's home; she herself knew that Dartmenley was not trustworthy.

So he disguised himself as an old man and begged on the street, waiting for the storm to pass.

The disguise was indeed quite good; even those involved in the fabricated agreement would have a hard time finding her in a short period of time.

However, Nemes now possesses another 'magic weapon' for information gathering.

Nemus closed the Book of Time in his hand. The Book of Time's greatest strength was its ability to read the past.

He uses his own information to expand outward from the past, thereby acquiring information.

After skipping over the information about the Prayer Angel, Nemus quickly investigated the Tail Town area, starting from when he took over Nair's identity.

Therefore, it is not difficult to identify the white-tailed fox from the intersection.

Even Nemus needed the Book of Time to find the White-tailed Fox, so how did Dartmenley and the others determine the whereabouts of the White-tailed Fox?

"The Dartmenley family seems to possess a special sensory ability; they will sense when a certain event occurs."

“I once saw two gangs, backed by powerful forces, secretly agree to seize some of Dartmanley’s businesses in the South District.”

"However, on the very night the agreement was reached, Dartmanley issued orders for me and Black Viper to go and wipe out those two gangs."

“I investigated afterwards and found that no one in the gang leaked the information.”

"Similar things happened afterward, as if they were able to get information when something unfavorable to the Dartmenley family occurred."

"This method of perception is more like a supernatural sense."

“I think that by submitting to Lord Nemus, I can probably trigger this feeling.”

“I see.” Nems nodded, not finding it strange at all.

The Book of Time can access information from the past, but this is merely an ability derived from the bloodline of fairies.

Although the Dartmenley family has weakened and no longer has a single Gold-level individual, it is perfectly reasonable that they were once a family of saints and possess some special abilities.

"This world is full of all kinds of monsters and powerful beings, and all kinds of unbelievable powers have been wielded by people before."

“That’s not surprising.” Nems had witnessed some even more outrageous abilities before, such as the rumor that a certain family was born with the ability to randomly control an animal and make it their companion.

Then, when a certain guy awakened his ability, his companion creature randomly became a floating whale.

He rose to prominence overnight, instantly becoming someone even the most promising talents would fawn over.

Even with such an outrageous ability, a little bit of sensory ability is acceptable.

"If that's the case, then Dartmenley will probably have a backup plan soon."

Nems, on the other hand, was quite looking forward to it.

After all, he estimated that he would need to settle down for about half a year, and without some struggle, wouldn't it be too boring?

"You stay with Op and the others for now, and don't go out during this time." Nemes made some arrangements for the white-tailed fox: "After a while, I'll see if I can arrange for her to be placed in the church prison, where Cecilia is."

Nemes stood up, and the white-tailed fox immediately stood up as well, following behind Nemes to show his respect.

Nemes waved his hand and left the house through the main door, heading towards the church area.

Along the way, Nems met many clergymen or trainee clergymen.

Most of them looked at Nems with reverence, and some of the bolder ones even came up to talk to him.

And Nems would stop and talk to them precisely.

Throughout the process, Nems was able to accurately recall their names, understand their family situations, and even know their current predicaments, providing accurate encouragement and assistance.

Inside the church, Nemus was exceptionally popular. In just half a month, he had already won the approval of many people as the great knight.

"As expected, it all comes down to profit." Nems said while talking to someone, reaffirming his policy of aligning interests.

After Nemus set up his operations, he immediately ordered an adjustment to the salaries of church personnel and even provided new subsidies, at least for the six paladin teams under his command.

The majority of the profits from whale product smuggling went into the church, according to Naim.

He also plans to extend this subsidy to adjudication teams and clergy groups.

Unfortunately, the adjudication team refused, and the priestly community is currently in charge under the Rhine.

Even so, as the benefits were actually received, most paladins' impression of Nemus improved rapidly.

Then there was the matter of Nemus giving Gabriel and his two companions new opportunities, which earned him a good reputation among the trainee clergy.

After all, for trainee clergy, failing the assessment was a failure, and whether due to unforeseen circumstances or other reasons, they would remain silent for several years as a result.

How many young trainee clergy members have a few years left?
They provide generous benefits during normal times, and can be used to rescue people in critical moments.

By doing these two things, Nemes is already qualified to run for the title of the most popular person among the clergy in Tailtail Town.

While Naim consolidated his base.

Inside the Dartmanley family's manor castle in the North District.

Datmenley slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with indifference.

Nearby, quite a few people had already been gathered by Dartmenley.

“The Holy Path has already given feedback!” Datmenley looked at the people his family had gathered, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Nail refused the family.”
