Chapter 39: Making Up Your Trump Card (Handsome guys and beautiful girls, come and take a look! φ(ω) )

Jacques turned and left at that moment, choosing to go back was the best option, and it would be best for him to go with him.

Then, whether you report any anomalies in the dorsal fin village or simply forget about everything that happened there, either way you can get yourself out of danger.

If they get involved now, they might have to face a Steel-type priest, a being who can control hive beasts, and a patient with whale disease.

They are merely inexperienced clergy members who have not yet matured. Getting involved in these matters is presumptuous and extremely unwise.

Isabella herself also has the ideal of revitalizing her family. Under such circumstances, is she really going to risk her life for the people of a small village?
This time, Isabella learned how those people she so disliked came to be in the church.

Those people were formed through these choices.

If she chooses to run away with Jacques today, she will instinctively refer to today's example when facing similar situations in the future.

When faced with a situation, they choose to escape.

Then, gradually, they will abandon the church's teachings on disciplining sentient beings and maintaining order, and their inherent kindness, which comes from empathy and emotional resonance with others, will also disappear.

She will gradually become the kind of person she herself despises.

Then one day, an innocent little girl barged into her life, making some 'naive and childish' remarks, her eyes filled with disdain for her.

At that moment, she would feel a pang of pain, and then she would suddenly recall the past, lamenting that her youth was gone, and then either feel regret or become stubborn.

But no matter how you look at it, that appearance must be ugly.

“Jacques, you need to keep an eye on the caravan that is about to leave and secretly plant information about this place within the caravan to ensure that the church in Baiwei Town receives the information.”

The church has some secret communication methods, such as sacred codes that can generally only be understood by clergy.

When a caravan enters a town, it is subject to certain inspections.

Even if these people were smuggling whale skin ore, they would inevitably have some things to cover it up that would be exposed to the inspecting priests and paladins.

The secret message will then be discovered, allowing the church to receive the information.

“Of course, if you leave now, it’s still fine.” Isabella didn’t want to interfere with Jacques’ choice.

"The order from Tailwind Town is very clear: as long as you leave, you will still be a member of the Dartmentley family, still a paladin, and will not be affected by the turmoil here."

"Jacques, I hope you can put aside those emotions and make a serious choice."

"This may be the turning point in our destiny."

“No, I’ll stay and investigate.” Jacques’s gaze hardened. If he left now, he would live in unease for the rest of his life.

After making their decision, the two quickly got to work.

Meanwhile, Nemus was squinting, waiting for Isabella or the old priest to make a move.

He was certain that once the veil covering the strange events in the backfin village was lifted, the matter would be unlikely to be resolved peacefully.

Let Isabella go first to test the old priest's true strength, and then it will be time for me to make my move.

"The most crucial thing now is my own power of faith." Nemus realized that this was something that couldn't be rushed.

“Unless…” Nemus’s thoughts drifted back to the past, before he fell into the abyss, Nemus also had another identity.

At that time, he may have also accumulated some of his own faith power.

However, Nemus was unsure whether he could regain his past human identity.

"And once we touch that thing, it's very likely to attract the attention of the God of Discipline, so we need to consider it carefully." Around noon, Naim deliberately gathered with a group of young people and lit a fire.

I made a soup with bones, cured meat, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and the like.

The young people's thinking was not so rigid, and they gathered together to listen to Nemes talk about things in Airfoil City.

The extravagant lifestyle of big cities is something people in these small villages can only dream of.

Many of their fantasies still revolve around people in big cities having an endless supply of cured meat on the emperor's golden hoe.

Nemes only mentioned some things that Nair had seen before, and the young people were already stunned, even stopping the soup they were holding at their lips, as if they were thinking about all the splendor and magnificence.

“Not bad desires…” Nemus slowly collected the desires that were surging in these people.

This is one of the main materials for summoning demons.

If one is an ordinary person and has no way to collect desires, then the only option is blood sacrifice.

At the moment of killing the opponent, stir up their soul emotions to attract demons.

But Nemes couldn't afford to use such a wasteful method.

A person can be used in many ways; simply sacrificing them will only waste most of what is useful.

As long as you understand the rules, summoning demons is definitely the most cost-effective option.

The demons in the abyss are rampant, and most of them want to come to the material plane to taste fresh flesh and souls.

A lesser demon needs to hunt down at least several hundred of its own kind in order to ascend to higher realms using their flesh and souls.

But humans might only need half the number to do it.

And most importantly, humans have very weak resistance.

Hunting one's own kind is like a wild animal hunting a creature of similar size in the wild; if one is not careful, one will get injured, and then become prey for others because of the injury.

This kind of trouble doesn't exist in the material plane.

Furthermore, because they were summoned, they have the option to retreat to the abyss if they encounter danger in the material plane.

Of course, these days, if you don't know the ropes, summoning demons can become quite troublesome.

Those wizards liked to summon demons to use as magical materials, which ruined the market.

Wizards have a strong learning ability. Early wizards were just underlings following the demons. As they gradually broke free from the demons' influence, they began to modify the demon summoning techniques.

After all, demons are born extraordinary beings, and even a single drop of their blood is considered extraordinary material.

Thus, a group of wizards emerged who used various methods to lure some demons who were not quite clear-headed to the material plane. They then used contracts, magic circles, and other means to cut off the demons' escape routes and then used them as breeding materials.

Since then, the demons of the abyss have become increasingly vigilant, and each time they are summoned, they need to test the energy response from the outside world.

If the wizard's energy fluctuations are detected, the summoning is very likely to fail.

Fortunately, as a member of the demons, Nemus naturally knew how to summon demons efficiently.

Having made all these preparations, Nems now had another trump card up his sleeve.

But at that moment, Nems heard a loud noise coming from not far away.
