Devil's Bible

"If you have any more Golden Fleece, could you please turn it into a wedding dress?" the shepherd asked the fake tailor after revealing himself.

In any case, the princess's problem still needs to be solved.

After confirming that the Golden Fleece truly existed and was incredibly beautiful, the shepherd immediately invited the fake tailor to make him a wedding dress.

"Of course I can. Sewing the most beautiful dress in the world has always been my dream." The fake tailor nodded seriously.

"I've roughly figured out how to make the most beautiful wedding dress," the fake tailor said excitedly.

His father and uncle were also getting the Golden Fleece for the first time, so they were only partially aware of some things.

Therefore, the control over the power of the Golden Fleece is not actually very stable.

Any change in mindset can cause problems with the "golden wool" (a metaphor for something seemingly worthless).

"So, was that gold wool sweater never actually taken to the palace to be presented to the king that day, or was the box and the sweater sent out together later, or did my father make more than one gold wool sweater?"

"No one can answer that now."

"I already have an idea. The golden wool sweater improved according to my method will have more refined control and be able to enter three adjustment modes." The fake tailor had been studying clothing-making techniques for a long time.

He had also read through the clothing-making manuals left by his father and uncle many times.

I am fully confident that I can create an even more beautiful garment.

"I already have the image of the wedding dress in my mind." The fake tailor was completely absorbed in his art.

Looking down at the Golden Fleece, the shepherd could roughly tell that the fake tailor's 'heart of gold' had returned somewhat. He had regained his morality because he had witnessed the real existence of the Golden Fleece.

Without delay, the shepherd and the fake tailor discussed their plan and began preparing to use the Golden Fleece to infiltrate the palace.

As long as he obtains the aura of the god Nia, he can immediately make the big dog find His presence.

As for whether it could be accomplished, the shepherd didn't have many thoughts on it; in any case, he should do it.

Then, we will overcome all obstacles in the process.

With this thought in mind, the shepherd activated his Golden Fleece garment, and his entire being instantly became invisible, as if he didn't even exist.

Walking on the snow, the shepherd can feel its presence, but he will not leave any footprints on it.

This kind of invisibility is completely different from those invisibility abilities that only conceal one's physical form, which gave him the confidence to infiltrate.

Tragedy reigned throughout the lower city.

The shepherd approached a house and found that the entire family was dead.

Inside the dilapidated house, there were several shriveled corpses.

The murderer was the husband, but his body, which had been found to have committed suicide, was also among the bodies.

Winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it has even started snowing.

In this kind of weather, even bears go back to their dens to hibernate.

However, they are human, and they cannot hibernate.

They used to receive a winter allowance, which provided them with some food to help them get through the winter.

However, first, it was the princess's birthday, and a portion of the winter allowances for all citizens was cancelled to prepare for the princess's birthday banquet.

Then came the struggle between the two princes for the throne. The eldest prince, who was in charge of logistics and resources, withheld resources from the second prince, who was in charge of people's livelihood, in order to force him to submit.

So the second prince simply stopped working.

The remaining subsidies were also discontinued.

People like fake tailors who still have skills are okay, but for those who can only sell their physical labor, there is almost no way to make a living.

One, two, three...

Some had been dead for days, while others had just died.

When the shepherd saw this scene, he felt as if he had been completely detached from this world.

He knew there was much suffering in the world, but he hadn't imagined it would be this bad. The shepherd quietly handed some copper coins to those who were barely making ends meet.

It's not that he doesn't want to give more, but that the world has gone mad.

At this moment, if they had silver or gold coins instead of copper coins, they probably wouldn't survive.

Once a little bit is revealed.

What awaits them is a chaotic battle.

At this point, these people were not much different from wild beasts.

The little man within the shepherd once heard someone say, "Even the worst order is better than complete chaos."

However, he now realizes that while this statement may have some truth to it, a corrupt system, when it systematically begins to oppress people, is equally terrifying.

The shepherd glanced at the lower town and finally stopped what he was doing.

He understood very well that without changing the system, the winter would continue for so long, and no matter how much he tried to save people, he couldn't save more.

He could only do his best to hand over all his money before quickly entering the upper city.

He observed carefully along the way and indeed discovered the problem.

Most people in the upper district were barely making ends meet, and in this process, he was no different from Grandpa Farmer and the others.

That means we must maintain a sense of happiness; we must imagine that people living in the uptown area are happy.

Even they themselves have to imagine it this way.

Only in this way can they prove the difference between themselves and those people in the lower city.

But in the shepherd's eyes, they had different resources, produced different things, and lived in different places, but apart from that, they were no different.

It's all the same—how pathetic.

The shepherd's conviction grew stronger, and then he entered the palace.

Inside the royal palace, however, lay a completely different scene.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and countless maids and guards were busy with their tasks in a busy yet orderly manner.

The nobles present were all dressed in thin clothes, showing off their physical charm.

Despite it being winter, the palace was not cold at all.

Everywhere there were braziers, with precious charcoal burning inside.

The entire palace seemed even warmer than springtime.

The shepherd paused slightly before continuing on his way, and saw a group of people playing and frolicking in the distance.

It was a group of women, and in their hands was precious white flour. As they laughed and joked, the flour turned into snowflakes in a snowball fight.

Joyful laughter mingled with the flying flour.

A peaceful and joyful scene.

However, the shepherd who witnessed this scene only felt that all around him were the corpses of those who had starved to death or killed each other because they could not get any assistance.

At this point, the shepherds received the news.

To celebrate the birthday of the king's youngest princess, the palace held a three-day banquet.

As the shepherd walked past the women, he came to the kitchen.

Food carts were pushed in, each filled with a variety of exquisite dishes.

Then all the food was thrown aside.

Because this was yesterday's food.

Today's food needs to be completely fresh. (End of Chapter)
