It should be noted that due to transportation issues, Naims hadn't sent many people to the inland areas.

Judging from the commotion they caused and the fact that the local church couldn't handle it, they must have some ability.

"So, is it some cult using a shell company to go public, or is there some powerful individual who used some berserk parts that I leaked to advance their strength, but they themselves are not on the agreement?" Nemus wondered.

Although the Oath Rope gains the "Knotting Records" property, its own abilities are further enhanced.

Nemus can observe the situation of any follower within the "fictional agreement" through the rope of oath.

However, Nems sensed that none of the few fictitious members of the inner city were the so-called leader.

This is very interesting.

“These people are even more interesting.” Nemus looked at Agnelli, Emerald, and Moritorus.

Through these days of communication, Nemus learned that Agnelli had reached the pinnacle of the Steel type and was confident of advancing to the Gold type.

Amélu is not far behind. In the years since Nemus's death, she has made rapid progress, and her current value has reached over eighty.

As for Moritulus, he was the most mysterious of these people.

All Nemes knew at the time was that Moritorus himself had been captured by a cult and possessed by a demon.

However, the seal was placed in a timely manner, and the individual's will was not truly damaged.

It was only because his appearance changed drastically during the demon possession that he wore armor all day long.

However, such individuals are generally only at the extreme value of the steel type; if they are stronger, they are just similar to the old things from the previous adjudication department.

What Nems couldn't understand was, how did these three people dare to do that?

In the battle of Tailwind Town, Nemus clearly demonstrated a dominance no less than that of the Golden Seed.

As a result, the Blue Whale has sent these three Iron-type Extreme Combat Powerhouses over?

Do they really believe that Nemes will remember the past, or are these three just cannon fodder?

"But judging from their expressions, it doesn't seem like it. The three of them are quite confident." This is what made Nemus curious.

In terms of age, Nemus was the youngest and strongest at the time.

These three people are currently around thirty-one or thirty-two years old, and the youngest is almost thirty.

Based on Nems' understanding of them, the fact that they have grown to their current level is already their limit.

Could it be that they have actually developed a way to counter the Golden Seed in just a few years?

I was idly letting my thoughts wander.

Because of his travels these past few days, he has had virtually no private space, making it difficult to quietly practice meditation.

However... Nems's thoughts went from scattered to firm in just one breath.

"Where are we?" Nems suddenly asked.

Sanwu, who was chatting with Aimelu and the others, immediately gave the answer: "We are currently on the trade route three kilometers outside Zhongping Town, and we have been on our way for seven days."

As a steel-type priest, Sanwu is able to sense grids in most places.

The grid can help you roughly determine your location.

However, the reason why Sanwu was able to make an accurate judgment so quickly is because of his special nature. His spirit is naturally resilient and he can maintain the release for a long time without suffering too much burden.

Therefore, he is extremely skilled in long-lasting spells and divine arts.

From the moment he started, his spirit was always connected to the grid.

"Come down, someone has come to 'welcome' us." Nems emphasized the word "welcome".

The others immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and became alert.

Even Sanwu is like that; he seems dull, but he is actually very intelligent.

"Shouldn't the city where the fabricated agreement and the cult leader were discovered be Nanping Town?"

"And we haven't had much contact with people along the way, why..." Aimelu said with some surprise. The back of the whale's middle section has large plains, and therefore there are many towns here.

Basically, the staple food for the millions of people living on the back of the whale comes from this region.

They usually grow whalebone wheat.

That is why this region is so vast.

Nanping Town and Zhongping Town seem to be very close to each other based on their names, but in reality, the two places are almost three days' journey by horse-drawn carriage.

If they reach the vicinity of Nanping Town, it is normal for them to be discovered and then ambushed.

However, now...

Before anyone else could even process what was going on, a massive number of enormous black objects rushed toward them.

"Is it a wild boar?" Nemus drew his sword, and after a short breath, the sword light instantly spread and shot out, forming sword energy.

Huge black wild boars were cut in half and scattered on both sides of the road.

The smell of blood mixed with the odor of entrails immediately enveloped this stretch of road.

All the anomalies seemed to disappear as a result.

Chapter 298 Dream (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!!)

However, the next moment, Nems realized the problem.

All the foul stench, and the bodies of those wild boars, vanished in an instant.

It's as if the wild boar the size of a carriage that appeared before was just an illusion.

However, those who had disembarked from the carriage earlier had all witnessed the attacking wild boars.

Both Sanwu and Aimeru still had magical fluctuations in their hands.

Agnelli stood beside Nemus, and after seeing Nemus's swordsmanship, he simply sheathed his sword, which he had drawn a section of.

"Illusion magic?" Agnelli's eyes flickered as he scanned his surroundings.

It was a perfectly normal trade route, surrounded by sparse bushes, with some trees further away.

There are no forests, so the visibility is excellent; a quick glance reveals very few places to hide.

Illusion-based spells are usually difficult to cast from a distance.

In other words, the spellcaster may be nearby.

In this situation, the other party probably wouldn't be able to hide it even if they wanted to.

However, after looking around, they still couldn't find anything wrong.

Even Nems is the same.

His senses were sharp, and he sensed the subtle fluctuations of elements forming ahead of him.

They could only see these illusory wild boars and could not sense the presence of the spellcaster at all.

"It seems we'll be facing some interesting opponents this time," Nemus couldn't help but remark, "Talented people emerge from the back of the Azure Whale."

Back when he was still riding on the back of a blue whale, he used his talent to crush all those who dared to challenge him. Such strange individuals are quite rare.

Moritolus is one of them.

I don't remember most of the others.

Unlike Azure Whale, which produced an old priest and Lia in its dorsal fin village, and the Holy Son can also be included.

The number of talented people in Baiwei Town is countless.

There's no need to elaborate on people like Kru and Becky, who are on their side, as well as Xibin, the Demon Warlock Ben, Heisenberg, Rhine, Bait, and so on.

Zuowen can be considered one of them, albeit barely.

And Isabella...

Such a small town as Baiwei has so many talented people.

Then, as soon as they left Baiwei Town, they encountered this special illusionist again.

"Could it be that the Azure Whale has some kind of property that attracts the supernatural?" When Nemus came out of the Abyss, he did not take the designated summoning path, but a random exit of the Abyss. At most, he sensed the territory of the God of Discipline through his divine power during the process.

When he came out of the exit, he was already near the back fin mountain.

So Nemus casually possessed a stone, forming a statue, and then, with the help of a certain anomaly, quickly made contact with Nair.

This idea was put aside.

After finding nothing amiss, Nemes and his group entered Zhongping Town ahead of others.

Zhongping Town is much larger than Baiwei Town in terms of area alone.

However, the population is relatively dispersed.

Because of the vast expanse of farmland, the villages are mostly scattered across different areas.

Large numbers of people usually only gather in Zhongping Town during grain harvest season.

Nems and the others did not intend to leave immediately this time.

There are two possibilities for this seemingly harmless attack outside Zhongping Town.

One possibility is that there are problems in Zhongping Town, so they are testing the waters.

Another possibility is that a crucial change is taking place in Nanping Town, their destination along the way, and the person in the shadows wants to use this method to stall them.

In either case, they would first go into Zhongping Town to take a look before drawing any conclusions.

Currently, they tend to favor the latter.

Nems didn't have any particular thoughts or opinions on this.

Given his current situation, he can accept either a positive or negative outcome.

If the outcome is positive, you'll have earned some credit; if the outcome is negative, then the fabricated agreement will provide a target for merger and acquisition.

In short, Nemes is playing on both sides, so there's no need to panic.

With this mindset, Naims remained very composed.

He constantly adjusted his mood and then became aware of his mental changes.

It must be said that meditation was a field Nemus had never explored before, and it contained many new elements.

Nemus had indeed studied a lot of magic in order to perfect his swordsmanship, but it was just magic.

Naim only had a general understanding of meditation, which involves spiritual insight, and when he actually tried to practice it, he found it to be fraught with difficulties.

For example, most of the pastors in a church wear glasses.

This was not caused by reading books, but by spiritual practice.

Priests need to develop their spiritual power and then combine it with their senses; this is a distinctive characteristic of priests.

Other spellcasters may also use some senses, but not as much as priests.

The most commonly used methods of human perception are just a few: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Therefore, priests usually start with sight or hearing, and in the process, their mental strength may be accidentally damaged.

Such damage is too subtle, and direct treatment may interfere with the integration of the mind with perception, so most priests simply use glasses instead.

In any case, once the mind integrates perception, a little vision impairment is not a big problem.

Nemus's spellcaster class should naturally be priest.

There's no way around it; he has too many advantages in this line of work.

First, why do priests need to unify their senses? Because they need to sense the grid to obtain the power of faith and thus cast divine spells.

Secondly, given his current status, obtaining the priest's spiritual materials would be far too easy for him. He wouldn't even need to say much; just a simple mention would bring up a wealth of information.

Others would even naturally come up with reasons for him, such as using these things to develop swordsmanship.

In short, don't meddle too much in the affairs of saints and legendaries.

Naims got off the carriage and saw the church in Zhongping Town.

The church is very large, even larger than the one in Baiwei Town.

Compared to Baiwei Town, the church in Zhongping Town has more grassroots staff.
