Devil's Bible

Chapter 200 The Transition of Historical Stages

As the demon incident was resolved, time passed day by day.

A month later, there was a knock on Nemes’ office. When Kru opened the door, he saw several priests.

"Great Knight, you must do something about Priestess Isabella!" The priests began to complain as soon as the door opened.

The sweltering heat outside did not affect the cool comfort inside the office.

Kru's everyday magic was quite effective, maintaining the temperature in the office.

Seeing these pastors pleading for mercy, Nemes looked helpless.

"What's wrong now?" Nemus couldn't help but ask.

Originally, the Redemption Department shouldn't have been so one-sided; their wealth made them very powerful in combat.

However, the changing situation has forced them to be more cautious.

Donghyuk's performance during the demon warlock incident a month ago was utterly disgraceful.

He made a series of wrong decisions, which not only cost his grandfather his life but also completely ruined his own reputation.

Although he is still one of the candidates for bishop, no one is willing to choose him anymore.

In the mission department, most members go about their own business, and no one pays any attention unless he issues a formal, legal, and compliant order.

After all, Donghyuk himself doesn't have many personal connections; people are more likely to acknowledge Dong-ro.

Now that Dong Luo has been 'killed' by Dong He, although it is their family matter and they have no way to take revenge, it is indeed appropriate to sever ties.

As for the tavern business, with the relocation of the merchant Das, most of the relationships quickly changed hands, choosing to obey Nemus's orders.

It can be said that Donghyuk has nothing left but his bad reputation.

However, after that, he became completely disoriented and rarely took charge of anything.

Because at that moment, he knew that he had no chance left.

My grandfather died, our relationship fell apart, my reputation was ruined, and my abilities were just so-so.

The so-called bishop is nothing more than a terrifying dream that seems very close, yet is actually very distant.

In this situation, if Roman is unable to achieve results in the Confessions, then Isabella is the most likely candidate to be promoted to bishop.

Many people with discerning eyes could see the current situation, and as a result, Isabella's popularity soared.

With these people's 'investment,' it wouldn't be too difficult for Isabella to implement reforms to the Redemption Department.

Since Isabella is likely to become a bishop in the future, those businessmen who have invested heavily in the Ministry of Salvation are now in a dilemma.

In recent times, as the Redemption Department has reopened to the public, some civilians have also dared to come to the Redemption Department for treatment.

This has led to a sharp decline in the profits of these herbal and medical merchants.

In the past, these commoners who had some money but not much could only go to the pharmacies and hospitals they owned for treatment, even if they were covered in injuries and illnesses.

Whether it's a major illness or a minor ailment, they can extract a lot of benefits from it.

But now, these people rush to the Redemption Department whenever they have free time, and the priests' spells and divine magic are basically enough to heal them with just one spell.

Once the results were seen, naturally many ordinary people were willing to line up at the Redemption Department rather than go to them.

“We’re casting spells every day now, and our spirits are really breaking down,” several priests from the Redemption Department quickly complained.

"Oh, the hospital's financial report for this month is out, right?" Nems ignored what the group was talking about and instead asked this question. The priests immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Over the past month, Nemus's power has grown further, and now he has basically control over all matters, big and small, in Tailtail Town.

Faced with Nems's question, these pastors were suddenly jolted out of their entanglements of interests and chaotic emotions.

“Great Knight, it’s out.” One of the priests couldn’t help but curse, wondering why he had been so bewitched to come see Nemus. At this moment, he could only choose to tell the truth.

“Clergy, get less involved in these things. You serve God, not those businessmen.”

"Kru, send someone to warn those medical merchants!" Nemus then gave the order and stopped looking at the priests.

The church in Baiwei Town is now practically his private property, yet those businessmen are able to use their profits to get these pastors to work for their interests.

This is actually a reduction of the church's power.

As history unfolds, he needs to firmly grasp the changes in Baiwei Town and bring most of its power under his control, ensuring that no one can do whatever they want.

"It is fairly predictable that a lot will happen in the coming period."

“And once these things get out of my control, they will gradually become a heavy burden on my fate.” Nemus could sense the problem.

However, he has no way to solve those problems right now.

For example, Isabella, Rhine, the Holy Son, and White, who may hold secrets.

These key figures are either closely related to Nems' future and will be useful in the future, or they are not so easy to kill.

Nemus is now at the crossroads of history; the entire town of Tailtail has entered a state of calm before the storm after the demon warlock incident.

"So there's a high probability that something will go wrong on my end, which will gradually bring up all sorts of other issues I have."

"Finally, if I don't handle this well, then I will be the enemy of the entire city."

The same thing happened with the previous Spanish student. At a crucial moment, the old pastor and the Aupu caravan went bankrupt, dragging the Floating World Society into the picture.

Then the tribunal came to investigate and 'unexpectedly' discovered that Xibin and Fushihui had a deep connection, and the evidence was conclusive.

So his position was taken over, and Nemus, who took over his position, quickly seized on his weakness and threatened him.

In an instant, he went from a revered knight to a pariah.

Next, Nems will also reach this stage, a special stage in which the driving force of history will increase, and the risks will also multiply.

However, at times like these, it's difficult to fill the gaps and to know what's right and what's wrong.

For example, Nems had Kru send someone to warn the Medical Chamber of Commerce.

This was Nemes's way of enhancing the church's authority and further consolidating power.

However, it is possible that some members of the medical chamber of commerce are unwilling to accept this situation and therefore try to save themselves.

In the process, they may inexplicably obtain some information that is detrimental to Nemus.

For example, they might investigate organizations like the Aupu Chamber of Commerce and then use that information to threaten Nemus.

But does that mean we shouldn't deal with the potential problems?

No, they might think Nems is scared, so they choose to push their luck and cause more trouble.

So for now, we can only proceed step by step and wait for problems to arise.
