Devil's Bible

Chapter 77: Finding Trouble (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On)
The air column quickly reached its destination, taking even less time than Gotthard's flying carpet, basically only about three hours.

The originally dense column of air began to thin out, and land and water could be seen not far away.

The boatman skillfully maneuvered the boat, then, riding the gradually weakening air currents, landed steadily on the water's surface. With the ripples, he brought the boat close to the shore.

Next, he will rest here for a while, sell the goods in the ship's hold, and then purchase some things. It will take him two to three days to travel downstream to return to Gas Spring City.

Aside from the air spring that sends a column of air directly to Baiwei Town, the floating whale has another special feature: when whales mate, the two whale tails are the closest to each other.

At that time, the two floating whales first communicated in the area of ​​Baiwei Town.

This is why, although Baiwei Town is not as prosperous as Qiquan City, it is bustling with people and its commerce is quite developed.

Although it is a town, its surrounding population and territory are no smaller than those of Kiquan City.

This has resulted in a large and diverse population in Baiwei Town.

The outlaws under Nemes's command were the other whales who escaped to Tailtail Town.

"Therefore, although you don't have to directly face the power struggles between the Golden Seeds in Baiwei Town, the complex environment here should not be underestimated."

"Ordinary steel products might not be able to hold off the various forces here."

In Baiwei Town, merchants, gangs, and nobles mingle together, making it difficult to distinguish one from another.

Although the Church oversees everything, and most of the time, the nobles stand with the Church, that is only most of the time.

With various interests intertwined, a newly arrived garrisoned Grand Knight, while unlikely to lose his life, will find himself in a precarious situation.

They won't kill you, but they'll find all sorts of ways to make you miserable.

Nemes had seen others go through something like this before.

Before the new official could even get going, his pet was skinned, its bones removed, and hung at the door, its blood splattered everywhere.

It's not that the murderer couldn't be found, but rather that the murderer didn't leave and simply waited to die on the spot.

Various factions have too many ways to cultivate a group of loyal followers.

Someone goes mad, kills your pet, confesses, and lets you do whatever you want with them.

But I just felt nauseous.

For those people, human life is worthless; as long as they can disgust you, that's enough.

If you don't back down and make things difficult for them, then all sorts of disgusting things will continue to happen.

Those people will stop at nothing.

They're capable of using all sorts of underhanded tactics.

For example, you could hire a prostitute (J) and have her stand at your doorstep, saying that you're freeloading and not paying, while she does so.

People gathered around to watch, and soon all sorts of rumors and gossip spread everywhere.

And these people who come to disgust you are like dead pigs; most of them aren't even afraid of death.

If you don't want to be disgusted by this endless cycle, then bow your head.

"I expect to face this situation as well."

“Datmenley will definitely not let this go so easily in order to force me back to my family and make me their breeding pig.”

"And given the various interests at stake, my life will certainly not be peaceful."

"Therefore, the first rule when encountering problems is to be ruthless."

"These people have complicated relationships. They're just taking advantage of your pride, your adherence to rules, and your inability to find the real mastermind behind this complex web of relationships, to know who's targeting you, and because you have no evidence."

“Without evidence, there is no justification for action.” “Therefore, we must strike first!” Nemes held the order signed by Guilliman, glanced at the boatman, and headed straight for the church in Tailtail Town.

He was certain that within half an hour, everyone of importance in Baiwei Town would know of his arrival.

The boatman will most likely also become part of the message relay.

Nems has no intention of keeping quiet; there's no need.

Anyway, his information will soon be known to everyone because of something.

As for which matter it is? Nems hasn't encountered it yet, but that's not difficult.

"After all, there are just too many things that could run into me in a town like this."

There is often a gap between rules and reality, and the existence of local bullies can render many rules ineffective.

All you need to do is seize the opportunity and head there, and you'll discover a multitude of problems.

Sure enough, before Nemes even reached the church entrance, he witnessed the 'injustice'.

"This is a contract you signed yourself; it's something you personally agreed to."

"Your daughter is coming with me today. You are a slave, and your daughter is a slave too!"

In the bustling city, a group of gang members dressed in flashy, open-chested long-sleeved shirts were surrounding two people.

One of the men being pulled was disheveled, reeked of alcohol, and had a die hanging from his waist—a habit of old gamblers.

He struggled to resist the pulls of those people while protecting a girl leaning against the wall behind him.

Clearly, this is a gang pressing for repayment of debts. If gamblers can't pay their bills, not only will they become slaves, but their families will also be captured and enslaved.

only……

"I seem to remember that according to the doctrine, human rights are divinely endowed, and no human being is allowed to become a slave, whether in debt or otherwise!" a voice rang out. Human rights are divinely endowed; all people exist because of God, so no one can deprive another person of their human rights and reduce them to slavery.

Of course, doctrine is doctrine, and reality is reality.

Slaves are not openly present, but a large number of similar entities exist in secret.

"Who cares about this?" The woman with the open-chested long sleeves turned around and saw Naimus. She quickly tried to recall him, but she couldn't remember the name Naimus.

"Sir, you misunderstand. I was just indebted to you for too long, and it was just a slip of the tongue." Although he didn't know Naimus, the open-chested man still sensed Naimus's extraordinary aura, so he immediately became serious and explained, "They are not slaves, but debtors who work for us to pay off their debts."

"Do you have any money? If not, we'll come back next time!" After saying that, she opened her long sleeves and looked at the man who was protecting her daughter, asking, "Then you'll have to work as a farmhand for even longer."

The threat was already obvious.

"Tell me, do they want to take you as slaves?" Nemus asked with a smile.

The gambler glanced at the open-chested long sleeves, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and was about to speak.

He can't afford to mess with these gangs; he's just a slave now. If he says anything out of line, he might not even die peacefully.

"Ah!" A sigh seemed to echo in the gambler's ears, a sigh that he couldn't seize the opportunity.

Then a gangster thug rushed out, his short knife already plunged into the gambler's throat.

The gambler's words were immediately cut off.

"Great! Arresting people in the street to enslave them, and then silencing them on the spot!"

"As the newly appointed Grand Knight of Baiwei Town, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
