Devil's Bible

Chapter 84 You Dare to Kill My Horse
Nemus raised an eyebrow, and the next moment, a lot of rustling sounds came from inside.

Along with it came a stench of horse manure.

Clearly, someone rode in on horseback and then defecated here.

After the sound of hooves faded into the distance, a woman could be heard shouting, "Nell Dartmenley, you have no sense of honor, you have betrayed your family, your parents, and your honor, yet you have become a Grand Knight! If you have even a shred of honor left, then resign from your position as Grand Knight."

"This must be Nair's brainless, stupid sister." Naims pushed open the door and glanced outside.

Some clergy members are already watching the spectacle from the shadows.

Meanwhile, the so-called younger sister, Sisi, was riding her horse some distance away from Nemes' house.

"Kru, have someone clean it up."

Nemus calmly gave the order, showing no anger at the other side's disgusting tactics.

“Nair…” Upon seeing Naimus appear, Xixi was about to continue loudly belittling Naimus.

"Shoot her horse," Nemus ordered, and an arrow flew out the next moment.

Xixi immediately realized what was happening, pulled on the reins, and tried to turn the horse around.

However, the arrow came quickly and struck the horse directly.

The arrow flew through the air, leaving behind a trail of crimson blood mist.

The decent horse immediately lost its strength and fell to one side. Xixi quickly twisted her body and jumped up, landing to the side.

On the side, Poole, dressed in linen clothes, walked over with a cold face.

He looked up and bowed to Nems.

"You dare kill my horse?!" Xixi demanded sharply as soon as she landed.

"Is the First Patrol Team present?" Naims asked directly, ignoring Xixi's question.

As a result, several paladins among the onlookers had to put on an expression and quickly stepped forward.

"Members of the First Patrol Team greet the Grand Knight." *3.

"What is the penalty for riding a horse into the church district at night, according to the Paladin's Code of Governance?" Nemus asked.

"What crime is it to show contempt for a Grand Knight and to insult a Grand Knight?"

"Nair, did you hear me..." When Sisi saw that Nemus was completely ignoring her, she immediately walked over angrily to question him, but before she could finish speaking, she was sent flying backward.

My head was buzzing, and my mind was completely blank.

Then I first felt a burning sensation on my face, and then my whole body ached.

“Your Excellency, according to the law, this is a crime of disrespect.” Upon seeing Nemus’s behavior, a paladin immediately gave the answer: “The church is the domain of God, the abode of God’s shepherd. Those who are disrespectful must serve six months to three years of hard labor.”

"The Grand Knight is a key figure in the Church, and insulting him is a sin of disrespect, punishable by three months to a year of hard labor."

The so-called torture required the condemned to not wear fine clothes or adornments, not enjoy rich food, not live in luxurious residences, and to spend long hours praying and repenting before the idols of gods every day, as well as to perform obligatory labor, etc.

In cases of severe injury, the perpetrators are subjected to excruciating torture, including cutting their hands and feet, and then continuing this torture day after day.

The main message is that if you are disrespectful, you will be made to repent through suffering.

The problems can range from minor to serious. If they are minor, one can simply cut back on food and clothing, honestly be imprisoned and repent for a few months, and then be released.

In severe cases, someone might die in less than a month.

"Then let's get started, what are we waiting for?"

"To ride a horse into a church at night and allow the horse to leave filth is a capital offense, punishable by three years of hard labor!" Sisi, who had just regained consciousness on the ground, heard these words.

"Nair, how dare you do this if you don't want to?!"

"I'm a girl, I'm a noble lady, how could you hit me and even try to arrest me!!" Xixi roared angrily, her cheeks swollen and her voice cracking from the force of her blows, making her words exceptionally sharp and ferocious.

"Ignore him, arrest him and take him to be tortured." Nemus didn't even bother to glance at Xixi.

Just a foolish pawn unaware of its own stupidity.

"Ahhh!" Seeing that the two nearby paladins were really going to grab her, Xixi immediately screamed loudly, her hand even touching the hilt of her rapier.

Seeing this, both paladins, who were experienced in combat, immediately changed their attitude when they saw the other party gripping a weapon.

Fortunately, Xixi still had some 'ability'. She regained some of her composure and quickly said, "I am a nobleman's offspring, and I have immunity."

"And I came here to find Nair, so I was in a hurry and that's why I rode my horse."

"Besides...besides...what kind of problem is it for a sister to scold her brother!" Only at this moment did Xixi shyly reveal that she was Nair's sister.

Then, Xixi suddenly looked at Nemus, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, "Nel, are you even being reasonable?"

"Do you really need to make such a big deal out of this?"

"You betrayed your family, betrayed the honor of your bloodline, wasted your parents' hard work, and abandoned me, your younger sister. Now that you're back, can't I even say a few words to you?!"

"What, did I say something that hurt you?"

Sisi was still unwilling to admit defeat. She wanted to see Nemus furious and frustrated, to make him suffer and be miserable. That would be the best revenge!

"So-called blood ties are nothing more than a bond for incompetent people to band together for warmth. It is boring enough in itself, so where is the glory in it?"

"Glory is only ever about power. When your power surpasses mine, then come and talk to me about what glory is."

After saying that, Nemus drew the sword of a paladin from the side, and then the sword flashed in his hand.

"Ah!" All that could be heard from the other side was a scream.

Sisi was tortured by Nemes himself, with cuts made in both her hands and feet.

And during this process, Nemus, whose swordsmanship was not good, accidentally veered off course and cut Sisi's mouth.

With his mouth full of blood, a section of his tongue was cut off, and many of his teeth had fallen out, so naturally he couldn't make any sound.

The paladins in the first team didn't dare to linger either; Nemus's attitude had already explained everything.

So they immediately grabbed Xixi, restrained her movements, and took her to prison.

On the other side, Kru ignored the storms and had already used magic to cleanse the filth.

He stood aside, waiting for Nems's instructions, while glancing at the simply dressed Poole.

Based on previous events, Poole appears to be loyal to the Grand Knight.

Furthermore, Nems had previously ordered the horses to be shot, which suggests he placed a great deal of trust in Poole.

Is this person probably a squire of the Grand Knight?
There are different kinds of squires. A typical squire is someone who makes a living by relying on the church.

However, the squires of a great knight are actually just subordinates without the status of a paladin.

"It seems necessary to cultivate a good relationship with him?" Kru's mind raced, and the next moment, he saw Nemes turn around and look at him.

The discerning look in his eyes made Kru feel a chill.
