Devil's Bible

“No nobles can accept someone as morally corrupt as you,” the king said seriously.

"It's not just me, it's the same for the entire kingdom."

The king was not lying. Although they were kings, they were only dukes, and their titles were only dukes.

The essence of this title is a substantial inheritance of power.

The monarchy is divinely ordained, and the power of the nobility is a force that flows down from the monarchy.

This power is considered a moral exemplar.

There once was a queen who was very charming. After the king died, she governed the country and was recognized by the people. However, Snow White, the daughter of the king and the former queen, was not satisfied.

Believing that she was the one who should hold power, Snow White secretly escaped from the palace and began an affair with a prince from a neighboring country.

With the help of the other party, the queen's secret mastery of witchcraft was exposed.

Immediately, the surrounding countries raised troops and began to attack.

Although Snow White eventually became queen, most of the country's territory fell to neighboring countries.

The prince then became the new king.

The kingdom was deeply wary of the possibility that those who possessed witchcraft might wield state power.

Once a soldier becomes the princess's husband, he will have the right to inherit the throne.

This gave neighboring countries an excuse to directly attack his territory.

Therefore, any nobleman could secretly collaborate with a witch to achieve his goals through witchcraft.

However, they would never allow anyone who possessed witchcraft to have even the slightest chance of inheriting a noble title.

“I can leave this country immediately after the wedding and never touch the inheritance rights.”

“If necessary, I can be locked up in a cell immediately after reviving the princess.”

"Never come out," the soldier said earnestly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the shepherd also used the big dog to find Grandpa Farmer and his group.

They were being escorted by some guards when the big dog arrived and easily rescued them.

The shepherd did not approach them; he was no longer from their world.

Because they had previously been close to the king, he ordered his guards to arrest them.

If they continue to maintain contact, they'll likely be unable to escape whatever happens to the shepherd later.

Even now, the shepherd is somewhat worried that if he touches upon things related to the god Nia, morality, and laws in the future, it will displease the nobles, who will then seek trouble for him in various ways.

After rescuing the villagers, the shepherd had his big dog give them some copper coins, and then he stopped contacting them.

Copper coins were the most wealth they could acquire without attracting attention.

When the big dog returned, the shepherd was surprised to find that the blacksmith and his men were following behind the dog.

Although the shepherd did not want to see them, they wanted to see the shepherd.

Upon seeing the shepherd, the shepherd expected to be blamed.

But I didn't expect it.

"Hey sheep farmer, are you alright?"

We heard you had an accident.

"Don't worry, your sheep are all fine, they're plump and healthy."

Upon hearing these words, the shepherd's eyes welled up with tears.

But at this moment, he deliberately said, "You fooled masses, don't try to get involved with me." "I have nothing to do with you." As he said this, the shepherd felt his face turn into that of a puppet: "And I will never go back."

He startled them by making it look like witchcraft.

Seeing this, the shepherd slowly walked away, no longer paying attention to them.

"What about your sheep?" the chicken farmer asked.

"I don't want that sheep anymore." As he said this, the shepherd felt three blessings upon him, and the blessing of success dissipated.

When the fairy gave him her blessing, she told him not to forget his home.

But now, that blessing has completely vanished.

The shepherd felt his spirit constantly changing, and as the blessing dissipated, he also successfully grasped the power of certain moral principles.

Blessings naturally originate from morality and law; they are a reward for those who abide by morality and a punishment for those who do not.

In comparison, the morality of blessing is much clearer, unlike the morality of witchcraft, which has many ambiguities and thus causes strong opposition.

In this situation, the blessing will be relatively stable.

"But the rate of improvement is also slow." At this point, the shepherd realized that the extension of the blessing lay in fame.

Generally speaking, a blessing is just a foundation. Only when your reputation spreads and is associated with a certain morality will people's perceptions empower your blessing.

"No wonder the hero has to wander around in different places."

"They need to spread their fame in this way, and then use that fame to influence the moral realm behind the blessings."

The shepherd was quite surprised that he was able to quickly analyze the workings of the blessing force and the underlying philosophy when he was feeling sad.

During this analysis, the shepherd felt as if his inner sadness had been separated from him.

It was only then that the shepherd realized that this 'puppet-like' blessing was somewhat special.

This blessing is a rather explicit moral lie.

Lying is immoral most of the time, so as long as you don't lie, you will receive blessings.

During the blessing, the body seems to receive some kind of real protection, enabling it to maintain its true knowledge.

As long as true knowledge is not lost, then other parts of the body are unimportant.

It can be replaced, and with the blessing power, it is completely no different from the original body in use.

For example, if someone is missing an arm, they can simply take a piece of wood and use it as an arm.

With the bestowal of true knowledge, it can be quickly transformed into a normal body.

However, once you lie, your body becomes like a puppet, and the body pieced together from various materials becomes apparent.

If someone breaks your body apart at this time, you will find it difficult to move.

"This blessing actually has a certain magical quality to it," the shepherd remarked, marveling at the advantage of the blessing bestowed by the old carpenter.

I increasingly feel that this blessing is not simple.

He had just lied to avoid implicating his fellow villagers, and therefore genuinely believed that such a lie was for the good of others and not immoral.

Thus, I vaguely sensed the area of ​​'the moral realm of lies'.

There are few gray areas in this region, but the blessing has exploited those loopholes.

This led to the formation of puppetry, a form of witchcraft that is not witchcraft itself.

To some extent, he added a side effect to the blessing, but this side effect was not so bad that it could be used as witchcraft to a certain extent.

"That old carpenter is no ordinary man." (End of Chapter)
