Devil's Bible

Chapter 98 Golden Medicine

With the death of Xibin, some of his influence gradually faded away.

As Angel A disappeared and Nemus stood beside Xibin's body, preparing his final appearance, the members of the Judgment Team arrived.

They remained where they were, staring at the corpse beside Nems.

The once glorious Grand Knight Xibin, who had been a prominent figure in Baiwei Town for over twenty years, has now come to an end in this way.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Feeling sorry for others of the same kind, and having been misled and lured, I ended up with nothing after all my hard work. Some people even couldn't stand it and I felt a lump in my throat.

"Why didn't you show mercy, Great Knight? If you capture us alive, we can learn more about the Floating World Society!" a paladin of the Iron race asked.

He had lived in this town of Baiwei for decades. More than twenty years ago, when Xibin came here, he was just an ordinary apprentice paladin.

The clergy are only a small group, and over the years, they have naturally had various interactions.

These interactions wouldn't make them hold back when interrogating the Spanish student, but they would evoke feelings of sadness in them after the student's death.

"So...you're accusing me?" Nemus looked at the person who asked the question, his face expressionless, and simply asked.

At this moment, Nemus's record of defeating Grand Knight Xibin one-on-one seemed to stand out even more, weighing heavily on that person.

"No, of course not!" The man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately responded, his words slightly slurred.

The slight feeling of sympathy for others in my heart vanished in an instant.

At the same time, a sense of horror crept into his heart: "How could I have thought it was justified to kill Xibin?"

If someone else had killed Xibin, their focus would have been on what kind of strength that person possessed, why they were able to kill Xibin, whose strength was over 80, and what kind of grueling battle they had gone through.

However, when Nemes carried Xibin's body, they naturally assumed that it was not surprising that Nemes was able to kill Xibin, so they focused more on the grief over Xibin's death.

This, in turn, led him to say things without thinking.

Only when I came to my senses did I realize what the problem was.

“Nair has a convincing power; whatever he does, people feel that there’s nothing wrong with what he’s doing!”

"And this convincing understanding was successfully established in my mind in just two or three days, even though I had not had much contact with it."

“If we let Nair continue, he might be able to establish his own authority and completely control Baiwei Town within the next half month, becoming even more powerful than Xibin before him.”

At this moment, the man clearly felt the power emanating from Nemus from within.

"In that case, let's get to work and investigate the clergy stationed at the latrine!"

"Based on the last information Xibin provided, they have a problem!"

Nemes handed Sibin's body to Poole and Kru, who had also caught up with him, and then, as was his custom, gave instructions to the members of the adjudication team.

"Yes!" Some members of the adjudication team responded instinctively, but their expressions soon turned sour.

The Arbitration Team is theoretically not under the control of the Grand Knights, but this theory has been violated at this moment.

From the moment that paladin asked that question and then stopped questioning him, they unknowingly put Nemus at a disadvantage.

Nemes then glossed over the topic, letting them off the hook, and pointed out that the clergy of the dung road had problems, which was the duty of the adjudication team.

With a combination of suppression and attack, they were no longer able to resist Nemus.

Even they themselves understood that if this continued a few more times, the Judgment Team would become like other paladin squads, with its power limited and governed by the Grand Knights.

As Nems and his men left, these people gradually broke free from the atmosphere of being controlled.

"This person is terrifying." Someone remarked, and the others nodded in agreement. The adjudication team then proceeded swiftly towards the latrine.

Then they discovered a paladin who was trying to escape.

This paladin is a member of the Floating World Society, and secretly uses the society's power to enhance his own strength.

Previously, the monitoring of the cesspool was not strict, so he could cooperate with outsiders to kill those mutated adult insects.

But now, it's impossible. Although there are fewer people in the latrine, he still doesn't have the final say.

Without the help of others, he was unable to handle the ever-increasing number of adult insects.

They could only try to cover up the news of the adult insects, but it was still not perfect, and information that the adult insects might have appeared was leaked.

Then a trainee paladin appeared, and due to his secret spells, those people were unable to defeat the adult insects.

He knew he couldn't keep the truth hidden for long, and he was already hesitating about whether to run away.

It wasn't until Xibin died that he realized a battle had taken place beside the latrine.

He tried to escape, but was caught red-handed.

With a new breakthrough, everything becomes much easier.

The adjudication team is very professional in its interrogation and investigation.

By extending its reach into the church, the Floating World Society naturally gained many advantages, such as causing a great deal of commotion that altered even whale dung, yet remained undetected for a long time.

However, this also created a loophole, and the connection with this mole is not so easy to sever.

If a clergyman is quietly recruited as a mole, it must be because he has obtained some enormous benefits that are difficult to obtain within the church.

Such a flow of benefits is not so easy to cover up; if you investigate, it's not too difficult to find out the truth.

What follows is relatively simple.

A day later, the adjudication team was short-handed, so Nems naturally took the matter under his overall control and, together with several of his teams, launched an operation to make the arrest.

Then they caught a big fish.

The Floating World Society has close ties with a noble family, and its headquarters are even located in that noble family's industrial park in the wilderness.

There was a well in that industrial park, drilled through the whale skin, and all sorts of things were continuously being thrown into it.

Basically, the well was used as a crucible or a petri dish.

The purpose of the Floating World Society can be roughly analyzed from this.

Whale blood, skin, and meat alone still have some use for steel-type materials.

However, it cannot help people break through the Golden Seed level.

"So, they're refining a golden elixir!" In the wilderness, inside the nobleman's manor, Nemus and a few others had gathered around the well.

Even though the well was deep, a pungent smell still emanated from it.

Everyone looked rather grim.

Because it is necessary to refine the golden elixir, it is necessary to constantly stimulate the floating whale, causing it to mobilize more nutrients from its body to converge here, and then use this small well to draw some of the nutrients to condense the golden elixir.

This behavior is utterly insane, like using explosives to trigger an earthquake and landslide just to dig a canal.
