"It will hurt a lot, it might kill you, do you want to use it?" The vial of medicine in Downs' hand was filled with a pale blue liquid that rippled, giving it a feeling of the sky.

Shiratori nodded seriously, then took the medicine, confirmed the instructions, and drank it down in one gulp.

He immediately felt a burning pain all over his body.

Then he felt his bones cracking all over his body, and before he could recover from the excruciating pain, he felt as if his skin had been peeled off.

As the pain slowly subsided, Shiratori opened her eyes and realized something was wrong.

Everyone around him seemed to have shrunk, but he quickly realized that he had grown taller.

"This is Whale Transformation Type I. After use, you will gain a Level 1 Whale Transformation state."

"Don't worry, you can get this too if you work hard." Towns had been brainwashing the little devils in the park for a long time, so it was very natural for him to make empty promises at this time.

In reality, regardless of whether it's just empty promises or not, once Shiratori became a small giant with a single dose of the potion, these people have already decided to stick with this fabricated agreement to the bitter end.

After all, he really did give something!

Chapter 304 The Traitor

Agnelli sat in the carriage, facing Emerald.

Outside, Moritolus drove the carriage like a puppet.

There was no sound inside the carriage; even breathing seemed to have lessened, becoming barely audible.

Aimelu was no longer as lively as before. She propped her face up with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the carriage.

Meanwhile, Agnelli was also trying to find a reason to talk to Emerald, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he finally found a topic, a subject he didn't want to touch.

"Will we be able to see Nemes this time we go to Nanping?" As soon as this question was asked, Aimelu's expression immediately changed.

"Perhaps," Aimelu said, her head bowed, her body trembling slightly.

They were very close at first, and she admired Nemus, who radiated light from head to toe.

Perhaps they will be together soon.

only……

“Are you afraid, Agnelli?” Amélu asked.

"I'm afraid." At this moment, Agnelli's confident and mature facade had also vanished.

Those who know him well know that Agnelli is a coward, and his maturity and confidence are all imitations of Nemes.

This remains true even today.

“I love you, Emerald.” Agnelli confessed, but when he looked up, he only saw Emerald’s fixed gaze and her furrowed brows.

That aura of disgust made Agnelli very embarrassed, but he had already gotten used to it.

“I know it’s because of Nemes that you think I lied to you.”

"But I have no choice. I have a family behind me, and I have expectations of others."

“Most importantly, I was jealous of him.” Perhaps because Amélu had seen her worst side, Agnelli began to analyze why she had betrayed Nemus: “He was so radiant, so captivating, and your eyes were always on him at that time.”

“I’m jealous of him. Even though he pulled me out of my slump, I’m still jealous of him.”

"So when the pressure came, I couldn't hold on, but I don't regret it." Agnelli looked at Emerald with red eyes and revealed her true feelings.

Agnelli was the second son of a nobleman, and he was a neglected individual from childhood to adulthood.

Everyone's attention was focused on his eldest brother, who was quite talented, but dared not compete with the eldest son.

So gradually, pretending to be a pig became the real pig.

It was Nemes who gave him a hand and pulled him out of that situation.

He admired Nemes and wanted to be like him.

However, it was discovered that he could never be that pure.

If Nemus is the sun he cannot reach, then Emerald is the goddess who forever follows the sun.

He wanted to win the favor of the goddess.

So he did all this, but he didn't expect that even after his strength increased significantly due to his betrayal of Nemus, there would still be a barrier between him and Emerald.

“After all, I’m just a poor imitator,” Agnelli said with self-deprecation.

Aimelu looked at Agnelli and simply shook her head: "Don't blame yourself too much. In Nemus's situation at the time, everyone wanted him dead."

“You fought back, but you couldn’t withstand the pressure,” Amel comforted Agnelli. At the time, several factions within the church couldn’t tolerate Nemus.

The question was so pointed that everyone shrank back.

They are not people living in a vacuum; they have families and everything they own.

“At least you didn’t betray him, and you even pleaded for him.” Agnelli shook his head upon hearing Emerald’s words of comfort, sinking into dejection. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Emerald, and simply pondered his future.

They weren't really sure what to expect when they were sent here.

Although the church had given them their trump card, they weren't sure if they could actually suppress Nemus.

However, just as he couldn't withstand the pressure and betrayed Nemes back then, he naturally can't withstand the pressure now either.

However, since he was imitating Nemes, he had to show his 'fearlessness' in front of outsiders, and he didn't even show much of the related emotions, as if he really had no fear.

Once only a few of them remained, the panic in their hearts could no longer be contained.

Agnelli didn't speak again, and Emerald also stopped talking. She looked out the window, and countless scenes flashed before her eyes, but her eyes seemed utterly empty.

Everything from the past flashed before her eyes.

Nems' figure seemed to appear not far away.

Aimelu's eyes widened suddenly, and then her whole body trembled.

"Wait!" Aimelu exclaimed, only to find that she was now the only one left in the carriage.

She hurried to the front of the carriage and lifted the curtain, only to find that Moritorus, who was driving the carriage, had also disappeared.

Horses, unmanned, galloped along the trade route.

He then rushed directly into a wheat field.

The earthy and grassy smell made Aimelu feel nauseous.

She quickly cast a spell to protect herself and then climbed out of the carriage.

"Is it a dream?" Aimelu couldn't help but wonder, looking around, but everything felt terrifyingly real.

Before she could think, a figure slowly approached from a distance.

That posture, that demeanor, that face...

"Nemus!" Emerald exclaimed in surprise.

Her expression changed slightly. She jumped off the carriage and landed by the roadside, looking at Nemus with a mixture of emotions in her eyes, as if tears were glistening in them.

"I'm so glad you're alright."

"You should leave quickly, Moritulus is completely different from before."

"Once he locks onto you, you can't escape!"

Nemus looked at Amélu, who was worried about him, but his expression never changed; he just kept looking at him like that.

Aimelu and Nemus exchanged glances, their eyes filled with increasing turmoil.

However, it was at this moment that the strong shaking woke Aimee up.

"wrong!"

As she regained consciousness, Aimee opened her eyes and found Agnelli not far away, looking at her with concern.

She herself remained in the carriage.

The carriage was also moving normally.

Some houses have appeared ahead, and they are almost at Nanping.

Aimelu took a deep breath, gave a sweet smile, and told Agnelli that she was alright.

At the same time, their gazes involuntarily fell on Moritorus.

The person who always wore armor was one of their group's secret weapons.

Although they were once companions, their current situation is completely different from theirs.

Concealing her true intentions, Aimeru entered Nanping Town with them and found the local church to explain the situation.

On the roof on the other side.

Nemes was standing on it, followed by Kru and Phaethon.

Chapter 305 Gold and Discipline! (Bonus Chapter 5/10)

"Moriturus?" What Aimelu saw before was an illusion, but it wasn't just an illusion.

Since Nemus wanted to test them, he naturally started with the individuals who were easiest to test.

Aimelu...

Nems looked at her and smiled.

What was discovered during this trial is very likely only a part of the whole picture.

Although they were former teammates, Nemus wasn't actually that familiar with Moriturus.

Back then, Moritulus was already in this state of never taking off his armor, and he was taciturn and usually made no moves.

Moritolus was often ostracized.

It was at that time that Nemes took Moritorus into his team and treated him well.

After that, Moritolus quietly followed in his ranks, fighting on the front lines.

However, Moritolus was also one of the traitors back then.

Nems' thoughts drifted back to the past.

There wasn't much discussion about the matter.

Naimus was young and impetuous, and he had the idea that if he was obedient and restrained by society before he transmigrated, and was still timid and submissive after such a great miracle as transmigration happened to him, then he would have transmigrated for nothing.

Therefore, in his second life, Nemus truly possessed a deep-seated self-confidence.

He firmly believed that he could change the world and become a driving force for global development.

However, he overlooked the differences in the world, and his perceptions did not completely change.

They want to reform the church's 'problems', but they don't realize that these problems are precisely the root of the church's problems.

At that time, Nems's desire for change aligned with the pro-government faction, so he could be considered a pro-government figure.

However, when Nemes articulated what he wanted to reform, the conservatives abandoned the idea.

At that very moment, all parties were preparing for the sacrifice of the angels, and the church secretly searched and arrested a group of pure and qualified children.

Nems disagreed with the child sacrifice, so he attacked the clergy who were trying to capture him.

Then came the siege, imprisonment, and sacrifice.

During this process, his once kind and optimistic superior became the one who gave the order to arrest him, and his close companions and teammates turned their swords against him.

Those he had helped in the past, unaware of the truth, thought he was secretly kidnapping children for sacrifice.

They turned around and despised him.

Even many of the children were manipulated into identifying him.

Nems now suspects that he discovered the church's secret search for children because the church deliberately leaked the information to him, just to give him an opportunity to act.

At that time, his stats were quite high, his swordsmanship was superb, and he was very popular on the back of the blue whale.

If we arrest and deal with them openly and honestly, we will inevitably encounter various problems.

So they simply took him to a secret place and used the taboo nature of the church's gray area to minimize the impact.
