Devil's Bible

Chapter 336 Robert's Elitism

“The Levin family.” Killieman pondered, naturally harboring some doubts about the Levin family.

The Levin family is a prominent local noble family.

Three members of his family were born into the Golden Family.

If it weren't for certain rules imposed by the church on enclosing groups, such as the rule that once a member of the Golden Seed becomes the Grand Master of a certain area, his direct descendants and descendants within three generations cannot continue to serve as the Grand Master of that area.

Then it seems likely that the Grand Master of Azure Whale City will not even fall into Guilliman's hands.

The founder of the Levin family was the second Grand Master of Azure Whale City.

His descendant, the second Golden Seed of the Levin family, who was four generations removed from him, happened to break free of the restriction, and thus he became the fifth Grand Master of Azure Whale City.

The previous Lotus Levin, unfortunately, was the grandson of this fifth Grand Master, so even though he successfully advanced to the Gold Saint level, he still had to take up a post in another region.

So much so that when Killieman took office, he had some minor conflicts with the Levin family.

One member of the Levin family even called him an outsider.

However, now 178 years, 3 months and 9 days have passed, and he has long forgotten those conflicts.

Currently, Nems is also considered to have a connection with the Levin family.

Some of the information provided does indeed present a possibility.

Let Nemes investigate; that seems like a good idea.

“Investigating the Levin family is too troublesome; they are difficult to cooperate with,” Killieman shook his head, explaining the difficulties.

Nobles have privileges, and the higher the rank of the noble, the more privileges they have.

For example, the Levin family has one of the most important privileges: their personal files are not stored in the church, but in their own homes.

It is said that the abnormal reaction of the grid was caused by the need to carry out a special mission in secret.

At the same time, there were some traitors within the church, so Grand Master Levin applied for grid supervision authority over his family's territory.

Although the supervisory power was later returned, the family members' personal archives were not moved.

This resulted in a fixed Levin family member joining the church in each generation and becoming a full-time archivist stationed within the Levin family.

In addition, the great nobles also possessed a variety of unique privileges.

This privilege may have been granted during a special period, and even if it is revoked later, some remnants remain.

Or perhaps they performed some special feat and thus received a reward from the church.

These powers accumulated little by little, forming rules, whether overt or covert, which in turn became the privileges of these nobles.

“So you can investigate, but the Levin family will never cooperate,” Killieman said.

The arrogance of the nobles was even greater than that of the old clergyman; their privileged arrogance, accumulated over hundreds of years, made them utterly unwilling to cooperate with someone they looked down upon.

Without substantial evidence, those people wouldn't take it seriously at all.

Even if they clearly have nothing to do with this, they won't cooperate to clear their names; they'll just think, "Why do you dare to investigate him?!"

“And based on my understanding, these people have all committed crimes to varying degrees, making it even less likely that they will cooperate with your investigation.” Killieman shook his head.

If he hadn't already reached the golden age, he probably would have felt an even greater headache.

Nems nodded, understanding Guilliman's meaning.

You can investigate, but you shouldn't and shouldn't investigate openly.

We can keep a watchful eye on things and, once we find some substantial evidence, then strike hard.

"Also, you'd better keep a close eye on that girl you brought out."

“I can get her out, but if something happens to her…” “There are quite a few people watching you too,” Killieman said seriously.

“I understand.” Nems nodded seriously, then said goodbye to Guilliman and left Guilliman’s office.

Watching Nemes' departing figure, Guilliman felt a fluctuation in his emotions.

In recent years, the church has been declining.

As the ruling faction, led by Gotthard, rose to prominence, various dangerous figures from the outside world also began to covet the realm of God.

Within the church, the conflict between ordinary clergy and noble clergy has become increasingly irreconcilable without anyone noticing.

It's clear to everyone that the situation is in danger, but precisely because of this, everyone's ulterior motives are becoming more and more numerous.

In this situation, even someone with the highest potential is gradually becoming powerless.

After the incident involving the fabricated demon, although the church headquarters did not punish him because they still needed him to maintain the stability of the Azure Whale, they did not punish him.

However, he was also aware that his influence within the church was diminishing.

If he continues to cause big trouble, it will become increasingly difficult for him to get things done.

Even the position of Grand Commander could be taken away by someone else.

What truly distressed Killieman was not the power he wielded, but the fact that his ideals would never again have a platform to be realized.

Having served as the Grand Master for over a hundred years, he hoped to make Azure Whale City better and better, and the church stronger and stronger.

This is the glory God has given him, and it is also the mission he must fulfill.

Only by fulfilling this mission and having a clear conscience could he peacefully depart for God's kingdom at the moment of his death.

Enjoy the eternal peace and bliss promised by God in the Kingdom of Heaven.

This mission came from his family—the Robert family.

To be precise, he was not of noble blood, but rather the adopted son of the head of this noble family.

His biological father was a paladin of commoner origin who sacrificed himself in battle to save Robert's patriarch, who then adopted the young Guilliman.

The Robert family stood out somewhat among all the nobles.

Because they actually adopted the concept of 'land grabbing' as their family philosophy.

Their ancestors were of the golden race and saints, and they inherited the glory from their ancestors.

Therefore, as nobles, they must be elites!
Become an elite, and then, like the hand of God, help God manage His territory.

Simply put, it is elitist politics.

Therefore, they will go to great lengths to help maintain social order, because it is their responsibility.

Most of the so-called land-enclosing aristocratic members, however, saw no responsibility, only the potential benefits.

That's why the Robert family seems so out of place.

They don't care much about bloodlines, but rather about individual abilities and talents.

Even adopted children are given a family name.

However, no one can remain an elite forever, and even elites cannot always correctly complete all their tasks.

The more responsible a person is, the more likely their interests are to be infringed upon.

The same is true for the Robert family.
