Devil's Bible

Chapter 172 Division of Labor
Nems's thoughts seemed to be clear in an instant.

The thing most closely related to his current advancement to the Gold Seed is naturally the 'Holy Son Project'.

Although Neil himself is not exactly a 'Holy Son', he can only be considered an individual that Dartmenti created by using scraps from the Holy Son Project.

However, with Nemus taking over and subtly transforming this body with his divine power, activating its essence, Nemus could, in a sense, be considered a holy son.

Rhine is now almost fifty years old, so there is a slight discrepancy in his age.

However, Nemus felt that there was a high probability that Rhine was a 'holy child' created by the old priest.

"As for whether it is true or not, we only need to investigate the Rhine family to find out."

Nems thought to himself.

Then he looked at the situation on the field.

On one side is the smug Donghyuk, and on the other is Roman, who wants to speak up and interrupt.

Faced with this situation, Nemus spoke up: "The position of bishop has been vacant for a long time, which is not conducive to the stability and development of Tailtail Town. It would be better to decide it as soon as possible."

"What do you think of Donghe's proposal?" Nems asked, glancing at Roman and Isabella.

His current idea is to have Isabella step down and focus on the Rhine, but the position of bishop cannot be taken away by Donghe so easily.

Donghyuk may lack talent, but he has big ambitions.

Naims knew without even guessing that once Donghyuk took over, he would definitely bare his fangs at him.

This is not conducive to the development of Nems.

Although he had many ways to break Dongluo's fangs and trim his claws.

However, this also requires a lot of effort.

Why not let Donghyuk and Roman fight each other?

Although Donghyuk has gained a lot of support, it is not so easy for him to completely subdue Roman.

In this process, he actually needs to rely on Nemes' support.

Nems could have taken the opportunity to make Donghyuk realize the reality, thereby completely suppressing him.

The fact that the position of bishop remains undecided actually has its advantages for Nemus.

With no top leader, Nems, as the second-in-command, while not having complete control over everything, now had the power to intervene in most matters.

This is actually more advantageous for Nems.

“I disagree,” Roman immediately objected upon hearing Nemes’s question.

This one sentence, "I disagree," completely darkened Donghyuk's expression.

"I've only been in Baiwei Town for a short time, and I've only just been promoted to the Steel type, so I won't compete this time." Isabella, seeing this, also spoke up, indicating that she was withdrawing from the competition.

Dong-hyuk's expression improved slightly at this moment, and he even nodded to Isabella.

But before Dong-hyuk could even open his mouth to attack Roman...

“Then let’s compete,” Rhine said before he could.

Although he had nominally abdicated, he was, after all, a priest who was just one step away from reaching the Golden Seed level.

As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately stopped talking and waited for Rhine to finish.

"The position of bishop cannot be determined solely by strength; it also requires the ability to handle affairs."

“I plan to have the three of you each manage a department, and let the results over a period of time show your abilities.” Rhine didn’t seem to care about Isabella’s earlier statement about wanting to quit.

“I…” Isabella frowned, about to interrupt.

"Isabella, you should go back to the Redemption Department." Rhine's words made Isabella stop her from refusing.

The Redemption Department is the department she observes to have the most problems.

"Roman will go to the Confessions Department, and Donghyuk will go to the Missions Department."

The three departments assigned by Rhine were precisely the three main functional departments of the pastor.

Medical treatment, repentance, and missionary work. Of these, the medical treatment department receives the most revenue.

The confessional department has access to many secrets, but it is also subject to the most constraints.

The missionary department has the broadest functions; they need to go door-to-door and to various places to spread God's teachings.

It also served functions such as a church college.

They also need to use their own senses to help explore the 'atmosphere' of the city during this process.

Once they discover demonic energy or other criminal issues, they can transform from 'missionaries' into leaders who eliminate those who hinder their missionary work.

They have some authority to mobilize sentries to help them temporarily deal with criminals.

If they encounter any serious problems, they can report directly to their superiors and request permission from Nemus to deploy six paladin teams.

It can be said that the Missionaries Department has the most tedious work, but it is also the place where it is easiest to achieve results.

This also reveals Rhine's attitude.

Although Isabella is going to the Redemption Department, her beliefs will inevitably clash with the existing members of the department.

Previously, a day's work would simply be spent sitting in the department, chatting, and drinking tea.

There's no need to painstakingly cast spells, nor to come into contact with those filthy, impoverished, and lowly people.

They can also gain a lot of 'profits' from this, which means they can collect money while sitting down.

In this situation, Isabella's attempt to break the deadlock will inevitably face opposition from countless people.

But it's unlikely that Isabella will give up.

Therefore, Isabella was essentially being manipulated.

As for Roman, he could hardly accomplish anything in the Department of Confessions.

This department does indeed have access to a great deal of public secrets, but according to church rules, they cannot disclose these secrets to outsiders at will; they must keep them confidential.

However, some people with serious problems rarely go to the confessional.

In other words, there are constant minor secrets, but no major secrets.

The returns were decent, but only decent.

To achieve any results, he would have to persuade a notorious villain to repent for his sins, surrender himself to the church, and donate a large amount of his wealth as a token to the church.

Otherwise, Roman would have virtually no chance of winning.

Although Donghyuk wasn't particularly bright, he at least knew which departments of the church held the most power.

Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied that Rhine did not directly support his election and even brought Isabella back.

However, Donghyuk was still satisfied with this arrangement.

Seeing Donghyuk's expression, Naims shook his head.

Donghyuk's biggest problem has become clear: he is too short-sighted.

Although the Missionary Department held the most power, it had too many functions, making it prone to problems.

Competition is not just about comparing achievements.

Often, when comparing yourself to others, you don't necessarily have to do better than them. You just need to stay calm and let them make mistakes.

Given Donghyuk's current state, he had absolutely no idea about this.

When he gets home, Dongluo might give him some pointers, but it won't help.

Many times, he knew the facts, but many things happened unexpectedly, and his shortsightedness prevented him from handling them properly.

He couldn't bring his grandfather to his side to constantly give him advice.

“So… Isabella.” Nemus couldn’t help but look at her. Although it was the most difficult, the one most likely to win was this one whose heart was not in the position of bishop.
