Devil's Bible

Chapter 29 Sacred Bones
"Stop!" Fortunately, his reinforcements arrived.

The old pastor, sitting in the carriage, quickly shouted to stop.

Isabella, riding on horseback, displayed a dashing and heroic side.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Nemes moved his foot away and kicked Jacques aside.

He never intended to kill the other person.

The moment I put it down, a thought flashed through my mind.

The precepts have been updated.

[Main Law: Forgiveness]

[Discipline Feedback: New (Jacques) - Sacred Relic &%……￥]

[The new trait has changed; it now activates the Sacred Bone trait within the body of Identity 2, Neil Dartmenley.]

[Holy Bone: Enhances the ability to bear divine abilities, reduces the side effects of divine abilities, and adds adaptability to the power of faith.]

As these lines of information flowed, Nemus clearly sensed the changes in Neel's body.

My bones felt slightly itchy all over, but it disappeared quickly.

At the same time, Nemus could sense that his originally dim life aura had also changed.

"Powers of the same origin can also undergo coordinated changes under the influence of precepts? That makes sense."

“After all, both Nair and Jacques are products of the Dartmenley family’s illegal bloodline cultivation experiments.” Memories of Nair flashed through Nems’s mind.

Jacques Binaire was much younger, his skills were clearly more advanced, and he had not defected from the family, so his skills were more fully developed.

However, with the help of the discipline, Nemus made up for this progress in one fell swoop, and may even have slightly surpassed it.

“After all, Jacques still needs secret techniques to temporarily gain faith from miracles, and I have purified faith nails in my body.”

Nems sensed the change in the power of faith, and a joyful expression of harvest appeared on his face.

The use of the power of faith has taken another step forward today.

The purified faith, combined with the sacred bones that are adapted to the faith, is causing the sacred nails within Nemus's body to show signs of 'melting'.

Nems even discovered that the holy nails, which were originally in a state of being both real and illusory, had undergone a certain degree of ossification and fused with the original bones in Nems' body.

“Unfortunately, now is not the time for further investigation.” Nemus looked at the old priest who had disembarked from the carriage and chose to question him: “Is Your Excellency intending to protect this apprentice paladin who attacked me without cause?”

To gain the upper hand, one must often occupy the moral high ground.

When you are unreasonable, you should use morality to make yourself seem reasonable. When you are reasonable, you should consolidate your advantage and ensure that the other party is not easily let down.

The old priest looked at Nems, who still had a smile on his face, and the broken knight's sword beside him, and then at Jacques, whose face was flushed red and who was vomiting and panting beside him. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He truly hadn't expected Jacques to act so impulsively.

Especially after seeing the white and yellow bone ball exposed on Jacques' chest as he moved, the old pastor's face became increasingly grim.

However, after a moment's thought, the old pastor said, "The young man is caught up in his own understanding and can't figure things out. He just acted impulsively."

"Nair, please let him go for my sake, okay?"

“I will punish him severely afterward and ensure that the Dartmenley family behind him will never cause you any more trouble.”

“In any case, he is still young... he shouldn’t be burdened with guilt for this.” The old pastor seemed somewhat dazed as he said this.

"I agreed to your request before because I owed you."

"Now that I'm saving him, it's because I owe him something."

"He's a victim too, isn't he?"

The old pastor could only offer some soft words at this point. "Are you really sure Dartmenley won't cause me any more trouble?" Nemes then asked to confirm.

"I'm sure!" the old pastor said confidently, still retaining some authority.

In fact, the reason why Nair has had no trouble here for almost eight years is because he is here.

Although the old pastor admitted to having some selfish motives, he genuinely cared for these people on many occasions.

after all……

“Part of Dartment’s sins also comes from me.” The old pastor couldn’t help but think of his former disciple.

Thinking about the changes in the other person, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Perhaps I really am a hypocrite." Thinking this, the old priest looked at the reluctant Nemus and continued to add to the offer: "I can also personally compensate you with a fine knight's sword."

"It is inscribed with eleven sacred characters and possesses considerable power."

The old pastor was truly sincere at this moment.

Inscribing sacred texts on objects is equivalent to enchanting them.

On most artifacts, three sacred characters are inscribed. For each additional character, the difficulty of inscribing increases by 3+n%.

The difficulty doubles when ten sacred characters are inscribed.

Therefore, the more words there are, the more the value increases.

Niel had previously tried to break the demon contract with a sacred dagger, but it only had nine characters.

But that was the only inheritance Nair had received from her parents, and it was extremely precious.

A knight's sword with eleven sacred characters would definitely attract a lot of paladins' fervent pursuit.

Seeing this, Nems decided to stop while he was ahead. Looking at Jacques, who was gradually regaining his senses, he said, "Have him fix my door later."

After saying that, Nems left his house, which had no door, and headed towards the village.

Looking at the empty doorway, the others felt too embarrassed to go in any further.

Upon seeing this result, Isabella couldn't help but sigh.

She vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Nemes. If Jacques didn't act impulsively, there might still be a chance to use Dartment's power to push the church to conduct a real review.

It's probably impossible now.

Meanwhile, Jacques, seeing Isabella's slightly disappointed look, felt even worse than when he had been defeated by Nemes.

Jacques, whose self-esteem was severely damaged, simply let out a muffled groan and fainted.

Seeing this, Isabella shook her head. If Jacques had simply admitted his mistake, she would have thought more highly of him.

“But that’s only natural. He’s just a young man in his early twenties. Not everyone is as sensitive as I am to other people’s emotions.” After her grandfather passed away, Isabella became very empathetic towards others after sensing his emotions.

She can sense the sadness and despair in other people's emotions.

The reason Isabella thought there was something wrong with Nems was because she found that she couldn't sense any of Nems' emotions at all.

Such people do exist, including the old pastor, but the old pastor possessed a profound level of meditative attainment.

Having experienced a lot myself, it's normal to be able to control my emotions and not let them show.

So what was the reason for Nems's death?
Isabella then put aside these emotions and began to think about how to deal with the mess.

With the death of a tainted witness, they will now have a lot to report.

How did everything turn out like this?
