Devil's Bible

After the shepherd arrived near the capital, he stopped summoning the big dog.

They even used exaggerated blessings to alter their appearance.

He secretly entered the capital.

I discovered that the capital city is truly prosperous, with all sorts of novel things converging on it.

At the same time, most of the people in the capital city are living quite well.

A smile appeared on the shepherd's face, which showed that, in any case, the country was not completely ruined.

But the shepherd's smile vanished the next moment.

"Who are you?" A group of guards approached the shepherd at that moment and asked sternly.

"Travelers from outside..."

"Are you a nobleman?" The lead guard glanced at the shepherd, interrupted him, and asked.

“No.” The shepherd shook his head.

"And you, a lowly person, dare to come here to smuggle yourself across the border?" The guard's words stunned the shepherd.

"Go where you belong!" With that, the other guards behind the shepherd raised their swords and pointed them at the shepherd, ordering him to walk to the side.

Upon seeing this, the shepherd resisted the urge to flick the tinderbox and summon the big dog.

They were directed to walk to one side, and were soon dumped in a district of the capital.

The grand and powerful families built city walls, completely separating the two different districts.

The shepherd was still observing when he was kicked away by the guard behind him.

The shepherd stumbled and fell in the town. The chaotic and disorderly environment made him feel uneasy.

"Are you alright?" At that moment, a person dressed in burlap appeared beside the shepherd and helped him up.

"It's nothing." The shepherd shook his head and stood up.

"What on earth is going on?" the shepherd asked, puzzled.

"You're from out of town, aren't you?" the linen-clad man said with a smile. "Come with me first, you can call me the fake tailor."

“This isn’t the place to talk,” the fake tailor said, glancing towards the city wall where several guards were watching them.

After seeing this, the shepherd nodded and left with the fake tailor.

He only understood what had happened after the fake tailor and the shepherd explained it to him.

"The entire capital city is now divided into the upper city and the lower city."

"Only nobles, wealthy merchants, scholars, and warriors are allowed to enter the Upper City."

“But the lower city is where we lower-class people should stay,” the fake tailor sighed.

According to the fake tailor, the king could not bear suffering, yet he had no way to eliminate it, so he could only keep suffering away from the king.

So these poor people were gathered together and driven to the lower city.

In this situation, the upper town became glamorous, while those in the lower town could only suffer more.

Outsiders have to pay a hefty entry fee to enter the city.

After entering, you need to pay a lot of money, find a hotel to stay in, and get a certificate from the hotel before you can live in the upper district.

Because of his identity, the shepherd was afraid of leaving any traces that would attract the attention of others.

That's why he secretly used the big dog to climb over the city wall, completely unaware of this.

Then, as if he were a newcomer, he looked around everywhere.

Furthermore, the shepherd's clothes were dirty and looked undignified.

This attracted the attention of the guards, who then dumped him in the lower city area.

Only then did the shepherd realize how naive he had been. He thought the kingdom wasn't completely rotten yet, forgetting that the kingdom was the first place to rot.

The shepherd learned a lot of information from the fake tailor.

For example, the palace houses objects bestowed by the god Nia, and it is said that those who touch them will receive blessings.

However, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer exhibitions.

The shepherd lowered his head in thought. There must be a powerful force protecting the palace. He didn't need to obtain the divine gift; he only needed to summon the big dog there and let it sniff the scent of the god Nia.

Then the shepherd felt a gust of wind rushing towards the back of his head.

"I am actually omnipotent!" The shepherd instinctively uttered the blessing of the great talker.

The fake tailor, who was wielding a stick, suddenly felt a numbness in his hand and realized that the shepherd had somehow turned into a puppet.

The force of the recoil startled the fake tailor.

Then a large dog appeared, bit the fake tailor's collar, and lifted him up.

The shepherd looked at the fake tailor with bewilderment in his eyes.

"I want to change the world!" After saying this, the shepherd returned to normal.

"So, why did you attack me?"

"I...I want your clothes." The fake tailor, with the dog holding his collar, dared not lie at all and quickly told everything he knew.

It turns out that the fake tailor was a descendant of the two tailors who made the most beautiful clothes for the king back then.

His father and uncle, having unexpectedly obtained the Golden Fleece, sewed it into a perfect garment and presented it to the king with great joy.

However, there were some problems with their 'technical skills'.

In theory, once the king puts on that new garment, he will gain the ability to become invisible; the garment will make him invisible as well.

When necessary, it can also, like the golden sheep, proactively loosen restrictions, thereby revealing its golden luster.

Unfortunately, due to improper handling, the garment only made itself invisible.

The king appeared naked before the public, and his father and uncle were beheaded for fooling the king.

The fake tailor's family also fell into ruin and were driven to the lower city.

Therefore, the fake tailor was determined to create the most beautiful dress so that he could return to the Upper Town.

Unfortunately, those in the lower district do the hardest and most tiring work but receive very few resources.

Those good materials will never end up in the lower city.

Therefore, the fake tailor was always troubled by his lack of materials.

Although the shepherd's clothes were dirty, the fake tailor, who came from a family of tailors, was able to recognize that the shepherd's clothes were made of extremely high-quality sheepskin.

That's why the fake tailor wanted to knock the shepherd unconscious and take the clothes.

At this point, the fake tailor remained unchanged.

The absence of moral and legal norms did not alter the fake tailor's appearance in any way.

The fake tailor wasn't particularly good-looking, nor was he ugly; he looked just like an ordinary person.

At that moment, the shepherd realized that the fake tailor no longer cared about morality at all.

Life in the lower city completely eroded their sense of morality.

They ignored those things, treating everything they saw as a lifeline to escape this hell.

They would do anything for this lifeline and wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Morality and immorality are no longer relevant to them in this birthplace of morality and law. (End of Chapter)
