Devil's Bible

Chapter 216 The bright card
As soon as Nemes spoke, everyone understood one thing: Roman's actions this time were likely to be fruitless.

Mentioning Gotthard at this point implies that Nemes's actions have already been endorsed.

And the biggest problem now is that Roman himself belongs to the ruling faction, and he has no way to refute Gotthard, the leader of the ruling faction here.

Then people's attention fell on the term "historical number".

"The so-called 'historical number' is a resource that enables legendary species to be created. It can only be obtained by controlling the course of history." Nemus revealed this information without hesitation.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked, and some even stood up, staring at Nemus and Zovin in disbelief.

“The Lillian family possesses fairy blood and the ability to extract the numbers of history,” Nemus then revealed the source of all this.

"Before he died, Xibin entrusted me with the secret of the Lillian family. Zovin also awakened the fairy bloodline, and his blood is the key to the number of history."

“That’s why his family has been able to survive until now.” Nemus said seriously, “The transaction was normal. I regularly received Zovin’s blood, but just over a month ago, Zovin broke the restrictions I placed on him and disappeared. Apart from Zovin, his entire family died.”

“I suspect that Zowen was unhappy about being constantly bled, so he killed his family and ran away…”

"you are lying!!"

"You're lying!! Nail, do you dare tell the truth?!"

Zovin's eyes widened in fury, his face flushed crimson, veins bulging on his cheeks, as if blood were about to burst from them. He stared intently at Nemus and let out a roar.

He never expected that Nemes would be so shameless as to turn the tables at such a time.

They actually pinned the blame for the deaths of his entire family on him, making him the murderer!

“Of course, this is just my suspicion.” Nemus did not show much emotion in the face of Zovin’s shout. He waited until Zovin stopped before continuing, “Besides, based on the idea of ​​keeping the historical number a secret, I did not rush to issue a warrant. I issued a commission to bring the person back.”

"As for whether those two people accepted the commission, I'm not quite sure."

"But during this process, I received information from the client that they were about to capture Zovin when they encountered special external help, which is why they were unable to bring Zovin back."

"And that very night, I received this secret message with an arrow in it." Nems took out the whistleblower letter that was suspected to have been sent by White.

“I arranged for a secret investigation, and many people can testify to that,” Nems said, and several clergy members immediately nodded in agreement.

This is actually a skill. People tend to simplify things. When you tell a fact that everyone can confirm, most of the other things will also be believed.

"So I think there might be another possibility—there is a mysterious person hiding behind this, who also covets the destiny of history, so he encouraged Zovin to escape, and then killed Zovin's family, thus completely severing my relationship with Zovin."

Hearing Nems' calm words, even the previously extremely agitated Zovin had a moment to consider whether the truth was as Nems said.

After all, when the two fugitives were chasing him, they did receive some assistance from spatial forces, which caused his Polaris Sword to undergo new changes.

He did not actually witness Nemes killing his family. He only learned from Lillian that his family had been murdered, and naturally assumed that Nemes was the killer.

However, this idea only lasted for a moment before Zowen rejected it.

Nems is definitely not innocent; his relationship with Op is inexplicable. Beneath his seemingly righteous exterior lies not a shred of justice!
However, Zovin regaining consciousness was not enough; most of the other clergy also basically believed that the deaths of Zovin's family had nothing to do with Nemus.

Of course, for others, this is not important, so what if it is?

Xibin committed such a serious crime, yet he possessed so much wealth and the legendary resource of fairy bloodline.

After Xibin's failure, his family should die.

Who the murderer is is irrelevant.

The most important thing now is the historical record!
“I have now reached the most critical period before extracting the historical numbers,” Nemus continued. “During this period, history will be turbulent, so many things will happen that are unfavorable to me.”

"Only then did I realize the truth of Lord Gotthard's words."

"I will try to stay out as little as possible during this period."

"Please maintain order."

Nemes said these things, but he was looking directly at Zovin.

It's as if they're saying, "Welcome to those of you who are hostile to me; come and cause me trouble during this time."

"Oh no, oh no!" Lillian flew beside Zovin, her voice much softer, and said anxiously, "This Nair is really different from ordinary people who covet the number of history."

"His state, his influence on history, has gone beyond the normal range. A historical trajectory centered on Baiwei Town would at most only involve the back region of the Azure Whale, how could it be..."

Lillian flew around somewhat anxiously, vaguely sensing that things were getting out of control.

Generally speaking, because we now live on the backs of floating whales, unless a super-major event is involved, the course of history will only focus on the back of one whale.

Lillian originally thought that the changes here this time would at most extract two or three tenths of the historical data, less than one tenth, which would not be enough to create a legendary species.

In other words, the historical changes here can at most reach the Gold level, which is enough to create a Gold-level hero.

Even if it further spreads and enhances its historical influence, involving the entire future historical development of the Azure Whale, the historical impact would at most reach five or six tenths.

At most, it's just a few golden races fighting each other, with one or two golden races dying.

However, the current historical fluctuations are quite unusual.

Nems's willingness to confront historical challenges head-on is something that most people don't possess.

The current situation has entered a period of historical transformation, yet there is still no golden opportunity; it should only resemble a local-level historical change.

Lillian had never witnessed such contradictory historical changes in her thousand-year history.

Just when Lillian was completely baffled, she suddenly sensed something.

She looked up at where Nemus was, and then saw Nemus's smiling eyes fall on her!
