Devil's Bible

Chapter 81 Commodity Trade
A steel grade with a value of 80 is considered a valuable asset, regardless of its intended use.

Most importantly, this person must have a large number of interest groups behind him.

However, the person in question escaped, the person with the problem was arrested, and those without evidence remained hidden and temporarily safe.

“After all, the other party rightfully monopolizes the trade of goods in the North District.” Nems was well aware of the shady dealings involved.

The North District is an area where nobles and the wealthy reside. Most of the people who live and settle in this area are people of status.

Although the volume of trade here is far less than that of the trading market in the southern district.

However, most of the supplies here are highly profitable, and they are high-end supplies.

The wealth contained within is not something that ordinary people can obtain, let alone hold onto securely.

Not only did he receive the Grand Knight title, he held it for over a decade.

Given his connections with cults, a hidden thread has already emerged.

That is the trading of illegal items.

These nobles and wealthy merchants in the northern district all had some problems, more or less.

For example, some nobles had their own 'breeding farms' in the wild. These farms might house valuable but dangerous creatures, or they might be used as a front to secretly mine and obtain other prohibited items.

Just like Prohibition, the more alcohol is prohibited, the higher the price of alcohol continues to rise.

The same applies to these contraband items; the more the church forbids them, the higher their prices become behind the scenes.

Nemes was almost certain that Grand Knight Sibin was likely the key figure in these contraband transactions.

Before the incident, he and his interest groups basically controlled most of the trading caravans in the northern region.

Only he could support the entire North District's contraband trade.

"So, most people don't actually want Xibin to be caught, which is probably why he was able to escape from the adjudication team,"

"Of course, if Xibin really has no ability, then it's not about helping Xibin escape, but about silencing him directly."

“This is a point that can shake up the entire landscape of Baiwei Town.” Nems has an almost natural advantage.

“Let’s go, come with me on a patrol.” Nems then called to Kru, and they went out together.

"Yes, Lord Nair, I wonder if you want a carriage, horses,..."

“Horses!” Nems had already learned the technique of communicating with Kru: ignore his rambling remarks and just tell him the choice directly.

Sure enough, although Kluth was a bit talkative, he was very efficient in handling matters.

Following Nemus's instructions, he immediately closed his eyes and communicated with the internal grid.

Because the church in Baiwei Town is large enough, and there are enough statues and sacred texts inscribed around it, the nearby grid has small branches.

The accompanying pastor has the authority to communicate directly with various departments of the church, thereby conveying the orders of the chief.

So when Nemes and Kru came out the door, several horses were waiting by the side for Nemes to choose from.

After observing for a moment, Nemes chose a horse that seemed to have some intelligence, and then set off with Kru.

Then you'll notice that both the South and North areas are unusually quiet now.

The church is located in the north section, but close to the area where the south section is located.

The dividing line between North and South is a river called Weizhong.

Starting from this point, extending along both sides of the river and into the north and south regions, there are small church outposts at regular intervals. These outposts are staffed with trainee paladins, trainee priests, and knightly squires, and a few more important outposts even have official clergy stationed there.

Unlike Jacques and Isabella, whose internships were actually audits, the trainee clergy here were truly interns.

Most of them were clergy with scores between two and six.

Once the value exceeds six, one can basically become a formal clergy member.

As for the attendants, they were mostly ordinary people.

Most of them lack the resources and talent to access the complete breathing technique, and they themselves find it difficult to master the breathing technique.

Therefore, they could only become squires, following the knights and helping them maintain order and support their families.

Compared to ordinary people, although the work is a bit more complicated, it is still a job that everyone envies.

"Greetings, Great Knight!" Nemus would greet people whenever he arrived at a new outpost.

In a short period of time, the name of the great knight Nemes had become well-known. At least within the church system, even the squires knew of Nemes' arrival and recognized his general appearance.

This was also thanks to Nemus's previous actions; as soon as he arrived in Tailwind Town, he took down a gang.

Then send all the paladins out in groups to patrol the area and strictly investigate any illegal activities.

And the previously chaotic noises in the market seemed to disappear instantly.

The clergy's own interest group spread, and in an instant, almost everyone in the city knew about it.

Among those people were some reckless individuals, but ultimately they didn't dare to disrespect the church.

On the other hand, it's also because the deterrent effect of Nems is too strong.

They wanted to get to Naim, but they didn't know where to start for the time being.

He seized upon a single problem and launched a direct attack on the enemy's stronghold. Most importantly, he actually succeeded, wiping out the gang and capturing its leader.

This kind of drive, this ruthless approach, this fighting ability—who wouldn't be afraid if they had it?

First, Nemes came to the post alone, and his family members were the Dartmenley family, with whom he didn't get along, so they couldn't be offended. Therefore, it was basically impossible to get to him from his side.

Secondly, Nemes has only been in Tailtail Town for two hours. Even if you want to send J-girl to slander him, you should wait until the next day. He has only been here a short time and is currently in a 'protected period' as he is basically not involved in anything.

Third, after careful consideration, these people realized that they had no reason to oppose Nems.

Thieves cannot fight with officials, especially when there is no clear conflict of interest.

In the past, some clergy members were intimidated by gangsters using underhanded tactics and had no choice but to submit. In essence, it was still a struggle between interest groups, and gangsters were just front men, using these methods to suppress and control the other side.

While it may seem that Nemes is now challenging the entire town of Tail, in reality Nemes is not really confronting anyone. He has only imposed a slight curfew. During this period, due to the cult incident, he was unable to do some things anyway.

“This choice is a little tricky.” Nemus immediately noticed the key to the problem: Black Viper was a force of the Dartmenley family.

This is both the good thing and the bad thing.

The Dartmenley family, due to their own circumstances, were unclear about their attitude towards Nemes, but Nemes struck first and caught them off guard.

Since Nems was new to the area and didn't have any vested interests, he naturally wouldn't be ostracized by other interest groups.

The temporary lay low for a while doesn't actually cause much loss to those people, so the situation has become this strange calm.
