Devil's Bible

Chapter 128 I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time

Isabella felt ice-cold all over at that moment.

What bothered her was not that the system was flawed, but that after the problem was obvious, everyone took it for granted.

And the sense of disconnect is too strong.

Isabella mainly lives in Fountain City, and perhaps because Fountain City has several churches and a cathedral, this problem has not occurred.

The villages she had visited before did not have a large population.

The largest villages and towns only have a little over a thousand people, and only one or two pastors are needed to support them.

She had been to Baiwei Town once before, the time she went to Beiqi Village with Jacques.

She came from Qiquan City to Baiwei Town, where she searched for the power of her bloodline.

It was at that time that she met Jacques and remembered her childhood playmate.

Isabella met Jacques before the Dartmenley family completely withdrew from Gas Spring City. They attended the same religious academy and had a good relationship.

Isabella wasn't in office when she came to Baiwei Town that time, so she wasn't very clear about the situation there. After getting news of the old pastor from Jacques, she left with Jacques.

Only after truly entering the departments of Baiwei Town did I discover that Baiwei Town was outwardly glamorous but inwardly rotten.

At least that's the case here at the Redemption Department.

“No wonder some people say that the doctors in Baiwei Town are highly skilled.” Isabella didn’t get angry, but said this with a smile.

The male priest, who had initially seemed somewhat smug, paused for a moment, unsure whether Isabella was praising him or mocking him.

However, seeing the smile on her face, the male pastor felt that Isabella was not the kind of person who would speak ill of him.

Stopping her conversation with the male pastor, Isabella glanced at the timetable. So far, the Redemption Department's donation performance was outstanding, with countless people lining up for various honorary titles.

There are no people who truly need medical treatment.

If these wealthy merchants or nobles were to come, then someone like the male priest would immediately greet such important clients, so there would be no need for Isabella here.

With this in mind, Isabella stopped wasting time in the redemption department.

She went directly to the church's records department.

The church has a public archive room where most information that doesn't involve secrets can be found.

Isabella had previously researched this information in order to ensure the safety of her bloodline.

After entering the archives, Isabella began to investigate the changes in Baiwei Town during this period.

Soon, Isabella got what she wanted to know.

After all, while Baiwei Town has changed somewhat recently, the changes haven't been as significant as one might imagine.

Regarding the increase in the number of people with spiritual power, any research will immediately yield relevant information.

"A fictitious agreement!"

"The multiple identities of the fictional god."

"Special Rampage Accessories".

"What is Baiwei Town doing?" Isabella felt completely stunned when she saw the information: "Such a big matter, and they haven't dealt with it yet, instead treating it as an ordinary cult?"

However, Isabella quickly realized that her ability to sense emotions was a special bloodline characteristic, derived from the priest's spiritual power.

Ordinary priests wouldn't have this kind of perception.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the Fictitious Protocol is still just a small cult. There may be a few dozen, at most a hundred, in the Southern District. They have obtained the berserk accessories and have a mental strength of around four to five.

These people are not yet capable of casting spells and are unlikely to achieve great things.

"No, absolutely not!" Isabella carefully reviewed the information about the berserk accessories. For example, berserk accessories can cause mental energy to become agitated.

However, as she walked along, she observed that more than a dozen 'commoners' possessed similar qualities, but their mental energy was not restless.

“The information the church has gathered has been misled.” This was Isabella’s instinctive feeling.

"The members of the fictitious protocol, and their technical level, are definitely much higher than we imagined!"

“I might need to find the person in charge.” Isabella carefully reviewed the documents and discovered that during this period, a paladin named Gabriel would arrest members of some fictitious agreements every month.

And there have always been people trying to find the person behind the fictitious agreement through this method.

Brent, who had picked her up by the trade route earlier, was one of them, and the others were...

“Trainee Paladin – Arcee Kia.” Isabella continued to peruse the other party’s information.

Alsi was one of the victims when the fictitious agreement began to surface in the South District a few months ago.

He fell to the brink of death after shielding Brent from an attack by an alchemical weapon.

On the verge of death, his bloodline reverted to its ancestral form and awakened.

This kind of thing is not common, but it is not uncommon either.

The Gia family has some elven blood, although elves are not a naturally gifted race.

However, its distance from the extraordinary is undoubtedly closer than that of humans.

If a human adult's stat is only one, then an elven adult will automatically have a stat of three to five.

If they can train, elves have a much higher chance of growing into a steel species than humans.

After all, elves have a relatively long lifespan, giving them more time to increase their stats.

The awakening of her bloodline turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Arcee. Not only did she survive until the priest's treatment, but she also awakened her stats and some of the special abilities of an elf.

Afterwards, because of Al's act of taking a bullet for him, Brent chose to recommend him for entry into the church.

Al has now become an apprentice paladin.

It is said that in the past few months, apart from recuperating from his injuries, he has spent most of his free time searching for members of the fictitious agreement in the Southern District.

"I should meet with these people when I have time," Isabella thought to herself, then put down the documents in her hand, preparing to look up information about Nemes.

Nemes has been in Tailtail Town for half a year now, and he must have done a lot of things, which should be documented in some files.

Although it wouldn't be comprehensive, at least from those materials she could roughly understand what Nemus had done in the past six months.

"Isabella, it's been a long time." Perhaps it was because she could see whoever she wanted, Isabella was suddenly startled and looked behind her. Nemus, dressed in the robes of a clergyman, was not far from her.

Isabella's keen senses, however, played no role in this process.

Isabella wouldn't have noticed Nems's presence if Nems hadn't spoken up.

Even now, even though Isabella has seen Nemus's presence and actively tries to sense him, she has not detected the slightest trace of his aura.

“I’ve been looking forward to your arrival for a long time.” Looking at Isabella, Nemus said this with a sincere smile.
