Devil's Bible

"Oh no, they're coming for my house!" In the Central Plains, a middle-aged man from the prestigious Pameshi family clapped his hands, realizing something was wrong.

Not long ago, news came from headquarters.

The headquarters, the Central Command, summoned the Holy Son, Nemus.

Even the slightest connection between them allows one to uncover information.

That was the extremely difficult task assigned to Nemus by the Cardinal: to reclaim the territory of the Azure Whale.

However, once Nemes completes his work, he will be eligible for the status of a Cardinal.

Having this identity doesn't necessarily mean one will immediately become a cardinal bishop.

However, one's status and position will immediately change.

The reason why Galis is so special is because the merits she has made before were great enough to warrant her being immediately appointed as a cardinal bishop.

There were no vacancies at the time, so this 'prospective' status was created.

The church has been very restrained in its treatment of this identity.

Over the years, far fewer people have been prepared for this role than for cardinals.

Because if one is not careful, the thirteen cardinal bishops could expand their power.

This almost happened in history; one of the preparatory bishops and thirteen cardinals all lived long lives.

He couldn't wait that long, so he used his prepared identity to begin pushing for the emergence of the fourteenth Cardinal Bishop.

The church experienced great turmoil during that period, and factional strife became exceptionally intense.

In the end, it was only when the pope of that generation directly summoned the God of Discipline that the man was completely suppressed.

Therefore, for a long time, the disciplinary church did not have a cardinal bishop prepared for the position.

The reason for bringing up this identity now is partly because Jialisi had already acquired it before, and partly because she is seeking change.

Cardinals may seem to wield unlimited power, but they also represent the interests of their respective groups.

In such a closely connected situation, it is difficult for them to change themselves.

The troublemaker was his own nephew, the one who was dissatisfied was his own daughter, and the one who secretly plotted was the descendant of the pope, whom everyone favored.

Similar incidents are definitely not uncommon.

They were mostly family members or relatives.

Most importantly, they all basically represent their own interests.

Their reason is sufficient to know that this state of prioritizing self-interest over faith is wrong, and that the church will inevitably face serious problems as a result.

However, they find it very difficult to detoxify themselves.

Therefore, what is needed at this time is a knife.

The Holy Son Nemus is such a knife.

Hayes Parmehi also saw the knife.

He was well aware of what the people above were thinking, because one of the cardinals was his uncle.

The other party had revealed to him more than once that everyone at the top wanted to change the internal atmosphere.

For various reasons, the thirteen cardinals checked and balanced each other. Reforms targeting lower-ranking officials were possible, but reforms targeting the actions of high-ranking officials like Hayes, who belonged to the elite class, were never approved.

But now it's different.

The fact that Nemus became a knife indicates that the fourteen old men have made up their minds to force him into a corner.

Sure enough, Hayes soon received orders to carry out a secret mission, either to lend out the sacred relic—the Source Whale Bone Ship—or to take the Source Whale Bone Ship with him while carrying out the secret mission.

However, the moment Hayes saw the task, he basically knew that there was no choice.

The Bone Ship of the Source Whale—there are only six Source Whales in this world. To legally obtain one of their bones and craft it into a bone ship is more precious than one's own life. Lending out a bone ship is tantamount to entrusting one's most valuable possession to another for use.

Any losses are possible during this process.

If it's just a mission, then he can basically determine what kind of mission it is. If he doesn't bring the bone ship, then even if he comes back alive under the best circumstances, he will basically lose half his life.

So he had no choice but to take the bone ship on the mission.

Only in this way can the optimal solution be obtained.

Of course, he could also sacrifice himself for the family and leave the bone ship with the family.

The problem is that those old guys above almost figured him out: he's a selfish person who thinks his own interests are the most important.

Under these circumstances, he could neither sacrifice himself nor abandon the bone ship.

"A bunch of old geezers, they're just too full to eat, so they won't let the people below them eat." Hayes spat.

Then, turning around and beckoning, some black energy began to gather, and the demon butler, dressed in a black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, bowed and went to invite Nemus.

This is a kind of 'luxury item' that has recently become popular in the Middle Kingdom.

Private Devil Butler.

This requires the user to be able to subdue the inherently chaotic demons time and time again, and then discipline the demons through contracts and other means.

Thus, the demon was transformed from a state of chaos into a perfect steward who was entirely noble, could execute orders with a single thought, and knew order and etiquette.

If the butler is not properly trained and makes a mistake, then even the master will be implicated and punished.

Therefore, this is a very dangerous hobby.

One careless move and you'll end up in a mess.

Over the years, there have been many incidents caused by the devilish butler.

However, among these nobles, there were still quite a few who were training demon butlers.

It's all for this danger, and the sense of superiority that comes from having something you don't.

This is also a way to demonstrate one's status and power.

On this precious land of Middle-earth, those who haven't reached the Ironborn level within a certain period of time will be sent to live on the backs of floating whales.

But the privilege that allows me to keep demons here is enough to make many people uncomfortable, and also to make their master feel a sense of...

"I'm fucking awesome, aren't I!" Hayes said as soon as he met Nemes.

When Nems saw Hayes, he felt slightly surprised.

Although Hayes was a top aristocrat, he had a very obvious air of 'nouveau riche'.

He seemed to have no regard for etiquette, sitting there like a big, burly man. Upon seeing Nemes, he immediately waved him over to eat.

Then, pointing at the demon butler, he shared his insights on showing off.

He then pushed the object in front of him toward Nems.

After a quick glance, Nemes was pretty much certain that these snacks were rare resources.

Because there is only so much healthy land left, and the land capable of producing all kinds of things is also very limited.

At this moment, Hayes is able to use these things to make desserts.

If its raw materials are given to any type of black stone, it is confident that it can immediately break through to the steel type.

Even steel, if used in the long term, can greatly benefit from becoming gold.

Making desserts is a waste. (End of Chapter)
