Devil's Bible

……etc

Bishop Rhine will provide solutions for many things, and then it's up to Grand Knight Nemus to arrange the personnel to carry them out.

Of the seven paladin teams, teams one through six are nominally all under the command of the Grand Knight.

The seventh team is the Judgment Team, which is directly under the Judgment Office and is the only team equipped with combat priests.

What Nemes needs to do is simply assign people, assign a specific team to handle the situation, or take matters into his own hands.

"To accomplish all this, the first thing we need to do is understand the strength of the clergy in Baiwei Town."

There are seven squads of paladins, each consisting of twelve Iron-type paladins.

The priesthood was not organized into ranks; there were a total of ninety official priests, nine of whom were of the Ironblood type.

It was these twenty or so church members of the Iron Seed that brought the entire town of Baiwei under control.

Of course, one thing to note is that it only takes three hours for Qiquan City to reach Baiwei Town using the air column.

In other words, if a major problem occurs, Baiwei Town can seek help at any time and receive strong support.

"Dispatch Team One and Team Six to continue to strengthen patrols, intensify investigations into cult issues, and send Team Three to work with Team Two, which is currently conducting the investigation."

"The dung beetle problem is a test for the promotion of trainee paladins. If you can solve it, you can get approval."

"Regarding the contraband issue, let the fourth and fifth teams arrest people first."

After glancing at the data and the responsibilities of each team, Nemes decisively issued the order.

Of the main issues, he focused on the issue of contraband; the others were simply carried out according to the usual procedures.

Previously, Baiwei Town did not have so many contraband problems, but in the past month, many signs have emerged, and most of them are related to the North District.

The reason, of course, is the chain reaction caused by Xibin's absconding.

He was the one who maintained the trade in contraband before, but now that he's gone, the demand for contraband won't disappear.

Naturally, some people will take the risk and continue trading.

Then, without the Spanish staff to cover it up, it would naturally be discovered.

Previously, the church had only arrested some of the people in the public eye; as for the buyers and the people behind the sellers, that was a different story.

He has not been arrested yet.

The goal of Naims was not to arrest people, but to lure all those who were already in or coveted this circle of interests to come here.

then……

“Re-establish the rules and acquire sufficient resources.” Nemes wasn’t truly dedicated to serving the church.

His current rate of stat improvement is not slow, but it is not considered fast either.

His current score has reached 32 points. Before reaching 30 points, he can probably improve by one point per day.

However, this speed slowed down after 30 o'clock.

"Based on this data, under ideal conditions, I have been able to calculate my strength improvement ladder. The next ten points will be a threshold, and the rate of decrease will be three times faster."

"It takes three days to get the value from thirty to forty."

"It takes nine days to get the value from forty to fifty."

"Then, when we get to our eighties or nineties, it will probably take another three years."

"It will take a total of thirty years from now until ninety o'clock."

"Therefore, we have reached a bottleneck. We need to see if we can obtain new data through various external means and try to break through the golden seed."

"This is the limit of Nair's own talent, combined with the development of the Sacred Bone and my triple coordinated modification."

Based on the analysis of most Iron-type Paladins, when it takes several years to improve a certain value, it means that their potential is almost exhausted.

In other words, even in an ideal situation, once Naim is raised to 90 using conventional methods, it is impossible to increase the value by any further simply by grinding over time.

"Therefore, resources that can accelerate cultivation are very important in this process."

Nems now has two core objectives: one is to establish his own religious order and collect personal beliefs.

Another option is to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Discipline Church and obtain sufficient information about the God of Discipline.

To reach a high-level position, becoming a "golden seed" is a must.

Thirty years is a long time; too many things can happen in that time. If the God of Discipline recovers his strength within those thirty years, then any action he takes will become incredibly difficult.

"So for me, it would be best to complete the promotion within ten years, then spend another ten years stealing secrets, and finally complete the work of becoming a master thief in ten years."

"Complete all operations within thirty years!"

"The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for me."

Naim was making all sorts of plans when he saw the butler Dartmanley, whom he had met the day before, visiting him again.

He arrived in front of Nemus in a legal, compliant, and procedural manner, his face still bearing that unsmiling smile.

"Young Master Nair, Miss Sisi is just being immature. I wonder if you could let her off this time? She already knows she was wrong." The butler had indeed come to plead for her.

"The purpose of establishing rules is to constrain more people."

“If you transgress the rules without paying the price, then the rules become meaningless.” Nemes said without even looking at the butler, holding a book of church doctrines in his hand, reading it carefully as he spoke.

"If fools do wrong things without being punished, it will only encourage more fools to appear."

"This is the simplest truth."

At this moment, even the butler was speechless. He could only hold back his words of advice, otherwise he would be a fool who didn't even understand the simplest principles.

"Young Master Nail's attitude is very firm, isn't it?"

"However, the family really hopes you can return."

"You will see the sincerity from the family!" After saying this, the butler bowed slightly and then withdrew.

Chapter 87 Prison Break and Old Bones Tavern

After Naims finished eating lunch in the church cafeteria, he heard the news of a prison break.

Without a doubt, the escapee was Xixi.

After this incident, Xixi was immediately placed on the wanted list.

Then the Dartmanley family's butler provided information that Cecilia had used the family's connections to escape to the slums of the South District.

Subsequently, the Dartmanley family released a statement saying that the prison break was entirely Miss Sissi's personal act and had nothing to do with the family.

However, the paladins who went to capture her spent the entire afternoon without finding Cecilia's whereabouts.

"Lord Nair, are we sending men to raid the White-tailed Fox's encampment? This is very unusual; a noble lady wouldn't possess such exceptional stealth skills," Kru said from the side. "So, it's highly likely that the White-tailed Fox helped conceal them..."

“No need. Xixi’s escape may seem like a provocation, but it’s too stupid to do so.”

“The Dartmenleys wouldn’t be that stupid.” Nems knew that the Dartmenley family might be cruel, arrogant, or corrupt, but they would never be stupid in certain matters.

"Judging from this situation, Cecilia is more likely a special experimental subject." Nems knew that Nair had never known she had such a younger sister.

Based on the other person's age, we can actually deduce a lot of information.

The bloodline experiment began when Niall was seven or eight years old, and then twelve years later, when Niall turned twenty, he unexpectedly discovered the truth.

After reporting the bloodline experiments, Nair went to the village of Dorsal Fins and stayed there for eight years.

Nair is currently twenty-eight years old, while Cecilia looks like she is eighteen or nineteen.

In other words, when Niall was eight years old, Cecilia had just become pregnant when the bloodline experiment began.

It can be basically confirmed that Cecilia was a product of an experiment.

His eccentric personality was definitely cultivated by the Dartmanley family from a young age.

In this world, apart from those family members who lack talent and are deliberately spoiled, every family attaches great importance to the cultivation of their offspring.

Any family member who can move freely outside the home may not be exceptionally intelligent, but they are certainly not stupid.

This is completely different from Cecilia.

“In essence, Cecilia and her proxies are on the same level, or even lower.”

"After all, in the past, such disgusting acts of suddenly appearing in front of people were always carried out by white gloves sending out some money-grubbing scum or worthless cowards."

As dusk slowly descends and the light fades, it gives one the feeling that everything has come to an end.

Nemes stood up, pushed open the door, and prepared to go back to rest.

Then they noticed a small dot flying over from mid-air at a fairly good speed.

As it flies closer, you can see the structure of this thing.

"A construct?" It was a bird whose body was mostly made of wood.

The bird's two eyes are two rubies.

"Lord Nair?" Kru asked Naims, then began chanting incantations, preparing to unleash a spell.

“No hostility.” Nemus allowed the bird to approach, and the constructed bird disintegrated after flying to a certain distance.

Inside his body, a piece of paper floated to Nemus's front.

"Mr. Nair, tonight at eight o'clock, Old Bones Tavern, to discuss business. Sincere offer has been made."

By the time Nemes finished reading the contents of the paper, Poole had already picked up the two rubies that had rolled to the side. He could vaguely feel the Deep Well Blood within his body resonating with the two rubies.

“Whale Blood Diamond.” Nemus glanced at it and immediately recognized what it was.

Two whale blood diamonds, each the size of a little finger, require a large amount of deep well water to be extracted using alchemy.

Or perhaps someone is bold enough to cut through the whale's skin and obtain the real blood of the floating whale, using that blood to refine whale blood diamonds; that would be much easier.

“It seems someone has already investigated your background.” Nemes told Poole to keep the whale blood diamond; currently, only Poole could use it.

The person sending the letter is essentially using it to convey their own abilities.

“But that’s not surprising. You didn’t hide your background, so it’s normal that others would be able to find out.” Nemus roughly knew who was behind it all.

"It seems that the order to arrest that group of people had an effect."

In the morning, Nemus issued an order for the paladins to arrest those involved in the contraband trade.

Several wealthy businessmen and members of the nobility have already been arrested.

Even after Xibin fled, they couldn't resist secretly contacting people to find and sell contraband.

Most of the contraband traded by these people is related to floating whales.

The floating whales are so big that each family member can eat a small amount without the whale noticing.

So everyone is doing it, and naturally some people are benefiting from it.

Nemes sent someone to fetch the list of those to be arrested. Some of the nobles had already confessed and were willing to pay money to avoid trouble.

This was a privilege reserved for the nobility.

If it is just the purchase of prohibited items, the crime is not serious and can be redeemed with money.

"Most of them are cultivation supplies."

"A small portion consists of resources similar to whale skin ore."

"They even smuggle whale dung?!"

"Based on this, we can roughly pinpoint who it is."

Among those arrested, most of the buyers confessed, while the sellers remained tight-lipped, all claiming they were innocent.

Only one of the sellers made the offer.

"Darth Ruved, after capturing the buyer and obtaining the seller's information, went to search the location as usual, assuming he had moved, but unexpectedly he was still in the same place..."

“Interesting!” Nemes put the notes aside and crossed his arms. “It seems the message to arrest these people has been received.”

“Smuggling whale dung fragments would probably only get him three months in prison. If he pays enough bail, he might not even have to spend a single day in jail.”

The town of Baiwei is inhabited by dung beetles, so there are always a lot of dung balls being pushed out in that area. Naturally, some fragments are left on the road, and when the wind blows, they will drift to other places. The church has no way to supervise these fragments.

So some merchants secretly collected them and then sold them.

This thing is illegal in a way, but it's really just a way to make a living through hard work. Unless you run into it head-on, almost no paladin is willing to get involved.
