"I apologize, but my mental energy will invade your body to some extent. This is to ensure you don't lie. I hope you don't mind," said the priest, who looked quite young.

“Oh, by the way, my name is Clement Cross.” As he spoke, a powerful surge of mental energy pierced into Nemus’s body.

In an instant, Nemus knew that this golden-race priest named Clement was no ordinary man.

The opponent's mental energy possesses a reading quality, making them extremely adept at probing.

Clement then began asking questions, one by one, the same questions that Guilliman and the others had asked before.

Nemes answered them all seriously.

When it came to the point where he had defeated the enemy and Nemus had escaped using the Oath Rope, Clement seemed to have noticed something, and his mental energy suddenly fluctuated.

The Levin family's golden seed, who had been silent all along, suddenly released his golden aura at this moment, pressing down on Nemus.

Then Killieman and Gotthard followed.

"You're lying! Who are you? And where did your historical number come from?" The furious question was like a sharp blade piercing through him at that moment.

However, faced with this situation, Nemus simply frowned and looked at the four Golden Seeds with some confusion.

The legendary aura that belonged to a legendary species manifested itself at this moment.

Although this aura was weak, it withstood the golden pressure of the four Golden Seeds with remarkable resilience.

“Everything I’m saying is true,” Nems simply said.

At that moment, the four golden pressures dissipated.

Nems received apologies from Guilliman and Clement.

Gotthard shook his head without saying anything, while the golden-blooded Levin snorted and left.

Chapter 291 The Holy Path

In the days that followed, Nems made no other plans.

Regarding the outcome of his case, he was simply told to wait for further news.

But Nems could clearly sense that his treatment had improved significantly.

He wanted to leave his temporary residence, and a female pastor would lead the way. Meanwhile, Nemes discovered that although the Dartmentley family's problems had been reported, some of the accusations were vaguely stated, and the church did not intend to take them seriously.

Nems could even go to the church's temporary dining hall to eat together.

Occasionally, some clergy would come to contact Nemus.

It's as if everyone is radiating kindness.

These people may not have been arranged, but they certainly know something.

Among them were many sons of high-ranking nobles.

They should have had some authority to learn about Nemes' situation from the church.

The information that someone can become a saint, and that once they grow up they will definitely become a legendary species, will definitely attract these people to invest.

Nems has received an unusually large amount of goodwill during this period.

It's as if the whole world is full of truth, goodness, and beauty.

However, the collapsed church area in the distance made all of this seem like a joke.

“That fictional demon is truly despicable!” A priest next to Nemus, who was munching on an apple, muttered.

As Nemus looked over, the priest continued, "He took all the church's supplies from Tailtail Town."

"The pursuit of him is now severely hampered, and many people in Baiwei Town have been implicated," the pastor sighed.

“It’s mostly a personal choice,” Nems said.

Of all the clergy who had come into contact with Nemes during this period, the emotions revealed by this pastor were the most genuine.

His name was Sanwu, and he was said to be an orphan who grew up in a church welfare home.

He approached Nemus with some ulterior motives, but they weren't serious, so Nemus could accept it.

“It’s all because that fictional demon is too good at bewitching people.” A person dressed in a strange priest’s robe walked out from the side and sat down next to Nemus, sighing as he spoke. He was Seprisen, who had survived the battle by sheer luck.

He initially completely underestimated Naim's existence.

It wasn't until he witnessed Nemus's power that he realized everything he was so proud of was nothing more than a little trick in front of such a top expert.

So after that, Sepperson seemed even more insecure.

Of all the people, his interaction with Nems was the purest.

It wasn't for any so-called investment, nor was he secretly trying to obtain historical information from Nemes; he just wanted a sense of security.

Although Sepperson knew perfectly well that with several Golden Seeds gathered in Tailtail Town, Nemus would never dare to return, he still felt a deep unease.

“A fictional demon, his existence is not normal.” Seppelison said in a heavy tone, hiding a fear that he himself was unaware of.

Nemes, on the other hand, did not comment on this discussion.

Amy arrived at that time and brought Nems a message.

The church area has been cleared, and now other members of the church are investigating other issues, such as the Dartmenley family's estate.

There might be some things involved with Naim, so Naim's help is needed.

Nems nodded.

Dartmanley Estate is devoid of any life. In just a few days, no one has lived there, and the entire estate is overgrown with weeds, giving it a somewhat desolate appearance.

Most of these items were confiscated by the church.

However, they did not disturb some of the things left behind by Saint-Datmenley.

These things are key if we want to rebuild the Dartmenley family.

And most importantly, there may be Dartmanley family 'sacred objects' among them.

Ordinary people at the bottom of society were unaware of this, and some ordinary nobles were also unaware of it, but the upper echelons of the church knew about it.

The Dartmenli Relics have major problems.

Therefore, although the object was a sacred relic, the church had no intention of taking it back.

After Nemes arrived, he vaguely sensed something.

Naim also left some related information.

Regarding the Dartmanley family's sacred relic—the St. Path.

This item amplifies the characteristics of the Path of the Saints and can continuously store support.

It is said that this kind of assistance can help people get promoted.

Whether it's upgrading to steel or gold.

Of course, the Dartmenley family hadn't used this thing for a long time.

Nemus slowly walked into the basement, his bloodline automatically sensing his movements, and then he found that he could not distinguish between up and down.

Although it was supposed to be a downhill slope leading to the basement, Nemes found himself walking uphill instead.

My thoughts wavered slightly, and the uphill road suddenly turned into a downhill road.

Nems regained his composure and then found that it had become a flat road again.

There was nothing around me except this road, which changed constantly with my thoughts and will.

When Nems wanted to go back, he found the door right behind him.

Withdrawing his gaze from behind, Nemus took a slight step forward and entered the basement.

"Nemus, are you alright?" Noticing that Nems's gait was unusual, a clergyman nearby immediately offered a friendly greeting.

Nems shook his head, knowing in his heart that he had already established a connection with Saint Path.

The so-called holy path is not a substantial thing, at least it does not exist here.

It's more like a phenomenon, bound to certain channels.

After Nemes, who had the Dartmentian bloodline, arrived here, he was able to sense the Holy Path and became its only bound person.

All I need to do next is find a passage or path, and I can easily move it to another passage.

With a single thought, one can activate the 'assistance' within the holy path.

This boost is even somewhat similar to the power brought by the legendary "Legendary Journey," and the two can complement each other.

However, Nemus soon sensed that something was spreading and wriggling along the Holy Path, emanating intense malice.

These malicious forces want to invade one's body, connect with one's bloodline, and thus trigger something.

However, the next moment, it seemed that history had already completed the suppression.

Nemus even sensed that the divine essence, along with its motto of destiny, seemed to have undergone some changes.

"So, the Dartmenley family's misfortune was indeed due to fate?"

Chapter 292 The New Bishop

“Those who defy fate will be subjected to its cruel distortions, and even saints have no way to escape it,” Nemus sighed.

The Dartmenley family's current situation shouldn't be considered defying fate, but rather hindering it to some extent.

But they were still ripped off so badly.

Dartmenley told the Holy Son Naim all of this, and Naim kept this information and told it to Naim.

"From this perspective, the number of history should be considered part of the power of destiny, but it may be different from the conventional number of destiny." Nemus sensed the change in the maxim of destiny.

"Perhaps if I can delve deeper into the problems within the Holy Path and discover something more profound, then will a new maxim of destiny emerge?"

A proverb of destiny is essentially a record of the world at its creation.

Although it doesn't grant any special abilities, it is essentially the general outline of the world.

Nemus's foresight enabled him to develop the Sword of Fortune and achieve success in many things, all of which stemmed from his reading of the original prophecy of destiny.

If you can read a new proverb about destiny, your understanding of destiny is very likely to increase significantly.

“Fate is inextricably linked to the world, to God, and to all numbers.”

“This is the direction for climbing to the top in the future.” One of the reasons why Nemes was willing to take over Dartmenley was because of this.

Fate is an elusive and uncertain thing.

Although Nemes had grasped some of the essence and laws of fortune, he did not know much about destiny.

Often, things that are bad are not necessarily unacceptable.

When something is too high-end, many people can't even get close to it. In that case, exploring the issues involved might actually lead to a way to understand it.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can suppress these problems to a certain extent; otherwise, you will only be courting disaster.

Nems is not in much trouble at the moment. The suppression of the two related forces of historical destiny and fate has prevented Nems from being affected by the bloodline curse of the Dartmenley family.

Furthermore, according to the information passed down by Naim, the number of history should be able to dispel the curse of fate.

"Perhaps I haven't truly reached the legendary level yet, or perhaps there's some other information here that I haven't obtained."

Nemes wasn't worried about this. The Dartmenley family was basically wiped out, and Jacques had also died after extracting the Saint's Elixir.

In this situation, the curses rooted in one's bloodline are basically gone and need to be re-accumulated.

In other words, Nemes bought up the Dartmenley family's assets at rock-bottom prices.

If the misfortune brought by the curse of fate can be resolved, then Nemus will have gained a holy relic for nothing.

Furthermore, the Bloodline family wields considerable authority within the church, and once the Dartmenti family returns to normalcy, they will immediately rise to the top echelons of the church.

Nemes cleaned up some of the Dartmenley family's belongings in the basement, and then handed over some of the less important items to the church.

Some important things, however, were all left to Nems.

Many of these things can be considered a valuable asset.

For example, various hidden legends, and various cultivation methods and secret techniques that are difficult for outsiders to obtain.

The Dartmanley family possesses a collection of various sword techniques, spells, alchemy techniques, and sealing techniques.
