Devil's Bible

Chapter 18 The Breath of Holy Law
As Nemes walked along the village's cobblestone path, the villagers who passed by bowed respectfully upon seeing him.

Nems would also greet people with a friendly smile.

This has never happened before.

Just as Nemes said of Nair, Nair wanted to be a bad person, but he wasn't bad enough; he wanted to be a good person, but he didn't have the perseverance to do so.

Despite having good intentions, they shut themselves off with a sour face, making themselves isolated and helpless.

However, in reality, it is not difficult to change a person's public image.

Nems was certain that the two church personnel, ostensibly interns but actually there to audit the villagers, received overwhelmingly positive feedback when they inquired about their situations.

Just by doing this, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

"So you understand now?" Downs followed behind Naimus, having changed his clothes, and heard Naimus's words.

"What kind of person you are is not important to most people; what matters is what kind of person you act like."

Creating a persona is one of the fastest ways to gain benefits from strangers.

"Most people have limited brains, and they often cannot handle complex things. Therefore, because they do not like to think, they tend to label people."

"Then the brain will follow that label to process how it treats you."

"So pretending to be the persona they like is a way to reap huge rewards without much effort."

Towns nodded, seemingly understanding.

Nems told Towns all this simply because he didn't want his men to be too foolish.

The other party is at the height of their power and arrogance. If they don't even have this much common sense, it will arouse the jealousy of others and cause problems with the things you've arranged. That would be the biggest loss.

Nemes smiled and nodded to a villager, and then they arrived at the residence where Op was.

Then, Nemes informed Op's servant of his visit.

Opp hurriedly came to the door to greet Nems.

In Opp's study, the servant placed down the brewed black tea and pastries, then turned and left, closing the door behind him.

"Downs is really lucky. Although he encountered a demon, he unexpectedly embarked on the path to the extraordinary and even gained Mr. Nair's favor." Op didn't immediately ask Nair what he had come for, but instead remarked to Downs, who was standing behind Nair.

This claim only came out yesterday, and Towns didn't tell everyone he met, but Opp still knew about it, which only shows that Opp is paying close attention to them.

"I'm just trying to be a good person to the end; I can't just turn a blind eye to sinful things like demons!" Although Nemes was talking about Downs, his words had a hidden meaning.

Opp noticed the slightly sarcastic tone in Nems's voice and was about to test him when he heard Nems continue.

"After all, church personnel will be coming to inspect in a couple of days. If things are handled well, I can extricate myself more easily."

As soon as Nemes finished speaking, sweat began to bead on Op's forehead.

He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe himself, but his gaze became sharp.

"Oh, congratulations! Mr. Nair might get promoted and leave our little village this time." After a slight silence, Opp offered his congratulations with a hint of joy.

"It's not certain yet," Nems laughed and chuckled. "Besides, even if I could leave, I might not be willing to."

"After all, it's not common to see someone as generous as Mr. Op."

"I have only done some of my duties, yet I have received so many tokens of appreciation from Mr. Op."

"Of course, of course!" Opp's smile was now completely forced.

He understood the meaning behind Nems' words. Nems had discovered his business and now wanted him to clean things up and make things look good.

At the same time, the bribes given to Nemes previously needed to be legitimized and transformed from bribes into token donations.

This is Naims clearly signaling that he wants to extricate himself from these matters.

Otherwise, it would become Naim's 'duty'.

However, the threat in his words was not as obvious as it seemed.

"I've only come today to discuss the donation of the token, so I won't bother Mr. Op any longer." Nemes stood up and took his leave, leaving the tea and pastries served by the servant untouched.

“Please go ahead!” Opp also stood up, but unlike before, he did not escort Nems to the door.

“The commandment of forgiveness has not been violated. It seems that the current situation has not yet achieved my goal of forgiving Op.” As Nemus left, he turned his head and looked at the shadowy place to the side.

The rope of oaths seemed to be responding, and the village guardian, who also carried a section of the rope of oaths, was hiding there.

Naims came here today to stir up trouble.

The message was sent to prepare Aupu for the investigation, and at the same time, the village guards were arranged to keep watch and find the location where Aupu was mining whale skins and some of the people involved.

Only by confirming these things can Nems gradually gain the upper hand.

They will have a clear judgment on whether to silence these people to ensure their own safety or to help cover it up and get away with it.

Nems did not intervene directly, but instead had the village guards do it, in order to distance himself from the matter on the surface.

"We still don't have enough manpower," Nems thought to himself.

Although Downs possesses demonic power, he lacks experience and is prone to making mistakes.

Although Poole is mature beyond his years, calm and loyal, he is not strong enough.

With so few people, I feel constrained when I'm doing things.

“It is still necessary to develop a covert force, in the form of a religious order…” After confirming the importance of his faith in Purna, he decided to develop his own religious order.

But this matter cannot be rushed.

The true God's churches are now found all over the world.

Any religious group that is not affiliated with the true God will be severely punished by the church.

With such a small number of people, even if they could form a cult, it would be quickly discovered due to its lack of organization, and then they would be implicated.

Do not underestimate the church's determination to crack down on heretics.

“So, first you need to control your demonic aura.” Nemus decided to take it one step at a time and first deal with the minor issues with Downs.

"I will transmit the breath of holy law to you. You need to endure the pain and practice it again and again!"

"The Breath of Holy Law?!" Upon hearing this name, even Kurog, who was feigning death inside Downs' body, couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Nair, who exactly are you?!"

Even though He was just a minor demon in the abyss, He had heard of the great name of the Breath of Holy Law, since its existence was engraved as common knowledge in the inherited memories of demons.

This is the most advanced breathing technique within the Discipline Church. It is said that even ordinary people can use this breathing technique to improve their seed level, advancing from Black Stone Seed to Steel Seed.

Aside from church saints, practically no one would know how!
　Coo coo, coo coo coo, coo coo coo coo, coo coo!
