Devil's Bible

Chapter 217 Saints and Destiny
In that instant, Lillian flew behind Zovin, her back pressed against his, and began to pant heavily.

Then Lillian quietly turned around, peeked out from Zovin's shoulder, and looked in the direction of Nemus.

But Nems seemed completely unaffected, as if he hadn't noticed her at all.

"Is it just my imagination?" Lillian didn't know why she was afraid.

Her special life form is considered to be at the gold level of life.

Although their ability to interfere with external forces is small and their combat ability is far weaker than that of normal Gold-tier beings, their lifespan is dozens of times that of Gold-tier beings.

If she doesn't want to die, then it's practically impossible for her to die.

If that's the case, why be afraid of a human?

With this idea in mind, Lillian crawled out from behind Zovin and carefully observed Nemus's changes.

Nems then did not show much abnormality, but calmly announced some information to the other clergy.

For example, the existence of the Book of Time.

At this point, many people suddenly realized why Nemes was often flipping through a strange book.

By this time, most people had put aside their doubts about Nemes.

Since Nemus shared secrets like the legendary species and the historical numbers with them at this time, it's highly likely that Nemus doesn't have any other secrets.

This is actually a technique. By throwing out something important, most people will assume that the person throwing it out is related to that important thing, and will instinctively assume that the person throwing it out won't have any other problems.

It's like when you've been acting strangely lately, and a psychopathic killer appears around you, and people start to suspect that you're the psychopathic killer, you say you've broken up with your boyfriend.

Then most people's doubts about you will be drawn to the topic of breaking up.

At the same time, one might instinctively feel that since they've broken up, they won't be in the mood to become a psychopathic killer.

Under attribution, every anomaly can be explained by a single cause.

Nemes, too, all his current anomalies will be explained by the laws of history.

Why is Nems so powerful? Why are his whereabouts sometimes mysterious? Why does he spend so much effort promoting the system of smuggling benefiting the church?

Previously, Nemes was not fond of luxury and had little desire for anything else. He also invested most of the profits from smuggling whale products into the church.

As a result, quite a few people have doubts about Nemes.

Do such 'saints' really exist in this world?

When one's virtue is too perfect, it can also be a huge pressure on ordinary people.

This pressure can actually transform into a sense of doubt.

But things are different now. Nemus is also greedy for the historical number and wants to become a legendary species, which is why he is doing this.

It was precisely because Nemes revealed this information that the trial finally came to a conclusion.

Op was sentenced to ten years in prison for smuggling and contact with cults, among other things.

His subordinates, Aro and the two outlaws, also received varying lengths of imprisonment.

On the other hand, Zovin's suspicions have not been completely cleared, and he still has the potential to kill his own family, so he has been temporarily detained.

He might have been acquitted, but after the emergence of the Fairy Bloodline in history, it became impossible for him to be released from the Church's sight.

As the interrogation concluded, various messages began to circulate outside.

"The numbers of history, a period of historical transition, all sorts of problems will arise... I see, I see!" Within the Datmenley family, Datmenley's eyes gleamed, his body trembling slightly, as if he had discovered a great treasure. Datmenley possessed a certain understanding of the numbers of history.

"Quickly, quickly, bring that book... never mind, I'll go myself!" Datmenley gave the order, but seeing Daros's blank look, he couldn't wait any longer and hurried to the family's secret library.

This book contains all sorts of secrets, rare breathing techniques and meditation methods, precious swordsmanship and magic, as well as a lot of content related to alchemy.

Dartmanley rushed in and pulled out a book.

I excitedly opened the book.

Looking at the contents of that page, Dartmanley finally saw hope for the family's rise.

"The lifespan of a saint is limitless, and the existence of divine power makes it virtually impossible for a saint to die naturally." Dartmanley flipped through the contents bit by bit.

The Dartmenley family is a family of saints, but the problem is that their saints only existed for a few decades before they died.

This is one of the reasons why the Dartmenley family has fallen to its current state.

This family secret book records several ways in which saints died.

"A holy person, one drop of blood for one drop of gold." Even a golden seed can only break through the saint's skin at most, causing a little golden blood to flow out, resulting in some minor damage.

"Or perhaps divine retribution will finally come,"

"Or perhaps it's destined by fate,"

"Or be defeated by calamity."

The secret records contain several clear cases of the deaths of saints.

The first case is that of Saint Joe, who lived 1,700 years ago. He angered the gods and was stripped of his divine power, and was killed by divine punishment.

The second case involves an unknown saint from 1,200 years ago. He defied fate, and his divine power mutated at that moment, turning him into a monster. He was then killed by other saints working together, or rather, he died the moment his divine power mutated.

The third case, or more accurately, the third type of case, also occurred 1,200 years ago, when a great calamity appeared on earth. In order to suppress the calamity, many saints died at that time. There are many such cases.

These three types of cases of saints dying are accounts that have been passed down for a long time.

Following these three types of cases, the Dartmanley family collected many more cases, some genuine and some fabricated.

"Six hundred years ago, Dartman walked the earth, following the path of the gods, and finally received a miracle, becoming a saint."

"Five hundred and sixty years ago, Saint Dartmenti once again went to the earth, never to return. The holy road was filled with lamentations and has been full of obstacles ever since."

For many years, the Dartmentley family has been searching for the true cause of Saint Dartmentley's death.

Because this ancestor died, but left the family with a huge problem.

If the family's sacred artifact cannot be used properly, it will in turn hinder the aptitude of family members and interfere with their advancement to the gold level.

In all these years of the family, only Saint-Datmenley's grandson succeeded in advancing to the next level more than 560 years ago, before the obstacle appeared.

More than two hundred years ago, Dartmanley's only golden seed claimed to have found a way to solve the family's predicament, and thus used Saint Lu.

Unfortunately, they too never returned.

The 'assistance' that Saint Road had accumulated over many years was depleted, and the family once again fell into a predicament.

Until now.
