Devil's Bible

Chapter 292 The New Bishop

“Those who defy fate will be subjected to its cruel distortions, and even saints have no way to escape it,” Nemus sighed.

The Dartmenley family's current situation shouldn't be considered defying fate, but rather hindering it to some extent.

But they were still ripped off so badly.

Dartmenley told the Holy Son Naim all of this, and Naim kept this information and told it to Naim.

"From this perspective, the number of history should be considered part of the power of destiny, but it may be different from the conventional number of destiny." Nemus sensed the change in the maxim of destiny.

"Perhaps if I can delve deeper into the problems within the Holy Path and discover something more profound, then will a new maxim of destiny emerge?"

A proverb of destiny is essentially a record of the world at its creation.

Although it doesn't grant any special abilities, it is essentially the general outline of the world.

Nemus's foresight enabled him to develop the Sword of Fortune and achieve success in many things, all of which stemmed from his reading of the original prophecy of destiny.

If you can read a new proverb about destiny, your understanding of destiny is very likely to increase significantly.

“Fate is inextricably linked to the world, to God, and to all numbers.”

“This is the direction for climbing to the top in the future.” One of the reasons why Nemes was willing to take over Dartmenley was because of this.

Fate is an elusive and uncertain thing.

Although Nemes had grasped some of the essence and laws of fortune, he did not know much about destiny.

Often, things that are bad are not necessarily unacceptable.

When something is too high-end, many people can't even get close to it. In that case, exploring the issues involved might actually lead to a way to understand it.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can suppress these problems to a certain extent; otherwise, you will only be courting disaster.

Nems is not in much trouble at the moment. The suppression of the two related forces of historical destiny and fate has prevented Nems from being affected by the bloodline curse of the Dartmenley family.

Furthermore, according to the information passed down by Naim, the number of history should be able to dispel the curse of fate.

"Perhaps I haven't truly reached the legendary level yet, or perhaps there's some other information here that I haven't obtained."

Nemes wasn't worried about this. The Dartmenley family was basically wiped out, and Jacques had also died after extracting the Saint's Elixir.

In this situation, the curses rooted in one's bloodline are basically gone and need to be re-accumulated.

In other words, Nemes bought up the Dartmenley family's assets at rock-bottom prices.

If the misfortune brought by the curse of fate can be resolved, then Nemus will have gained a holy relic for nothing.

Furthermore, the Bloodline family wields considerable authority within the church, and once the Dartmenti family returns to normalcy, they will immediately rise to the top echelons of the church.

Nemes cleaned up some of the Dartmenley family's belongings in the basement, and then handed over some of the less important items to the church.

Some important things, however, were all left to Nems.

Many of these things can be considered a valuable asset.

For example, various hidden legends, and various cultivation methods and secret techniques that are difficult for outsiders to obtain.

The Dartmanley family possesses a collection of various sword techniques, spells, alchemy techniques, and sealing techniques.

By thoroughly learning these things, Nemus's strength will increase.

These are the family's true foundation, but unfortunately, the Dartmenley family has too few talented individuals. Very few of them are capable of utilizing these resources.

"This is also because technological development is not fast enough."

"A small number of people control most of the high-end information."

"But these few people do not pass on their skills, but rather their bloodline."

"Although the bloodlines in this world possess certain extraordinary abilities, these abilities are not enough to guarantee that every generation of a family will be a genius."

"So much of this data and technology has been wasted," Nemus thought to himself, picking up a sword manual.

This sword technique itself is not of a high grade, and it is even quite useless to practice.

Because the swordsmanship developer went to study magic, he carefully studied the principles of magic casting and then concluded that mental power could manipulate elements because mental power had mastered the language of the elements, thus enabling communication with them.

The language of this element is because mental power is a direct extension of human will, so it is naturally able to carry information; the flexible control of mental power also makes it easy to form various structures, thereby resonating with various elements and making it easier to transmit information.

Therefore, the developers believe that if one's will can be directly infused into swordsmanship without relying on mental power, then perhaps one's swordsmanship could also carry information such as elemental language, thereby enabling swordsmanship to exert the effects of magic.

So he spent half his life developing this sword technique, imbuing it with his will, thereby releasing magic.

The final result was that after swinging the sword with all my might for half an hour, the blade was able to be imbued with fire elements.

"The theory is barely correct, but the practical techniques are half right and half wrong," Naims commented.

This thing was indeed useless, but in Nemus's hands, it became one of the materials for him to further improve the Sword of Fortune.

Even the most determined person cannot influence the outside world without projecting their mental energy.

The opposing theory lacks a medium.

And Nemes now has this medium in his hands—the transport.

The Dartmenley family has collected quite a few similar items.

If the Dartmenley family alone possesses so much technical information, what about the other noble families?

Even if most of the information is overlapping, as long as there is one that can inspire Ness, that is enough.

"It seems we need to pay more attention to this aspect of collection next." Nemes thought to himself as he completed the cleanup of the Dartmenley house.

Finally, after that day, martial law was lifted in Baiwei Town.

Some of the clergy from Qiquan City will stay behind to ensure order and stability in Baiwei Town.

Meanwhile, the new bishop was also decided – Roman Capo became the new bishop of Wagtail Town.

In the early stages of the incident, he challenged Nemes in an effort to achieve results, but later, as he gradually realized that he could not beat Isabella no matter what, he chose to give up.

On the day the war began, he happened to be on a mission in the South District—a mission that originally belonged to the Missionary Department.

Unfortunately, after Dong-hyuk ruined his own career, the missionary department didn't have any outstanding Iron Seed priests, so they asked Roman for help.

So Roman left the church district in a daze, and when he came back, he found that the church was gone.

A few days later, it was discovered that there were few Ironborn priests left in the local area. Coincidentally, the bishop competition held by Rhine earlier had not been rejected by several Goldborn priests.

Thus, Roman was elected smoothly with the other two candidates no longer available.
