When news of historical precedent arrives at this time, it inevitably piques the interest of those at the crucial juncture of their promotion.

Legendary species, these are species that only appear in various legends.

They may not be stronger than saints, but they are definitely rarer than saints.

After all, apart from a few special races like fairies, no one else has any way to access history.

Furthermore, there are often problems with extracting historical numbers, and even if an ordinary person does their best, they simply cannot obtain the corresponding numbers.

However, every time a legendary species appears, it causes a huge uproar.

They are truly legends, and their deeds are naturally etched in the memories of countless people.

Each legendary species possesses different abilities, but what makes them truly special is their ability to often achieve legendary status.

In other words, for a legendary species, no matter how difficult a task is, it can be solved step by step, and then it can succeed and become a legend.

This is also the most talked-about characteristic of the legendary species – the legendary journey.

Once they embark on their legendary journey, they can create possibilities from the impossible and rise again and again from adversity.

Of course, while the special feature does exist, it is not invincible.

There are also legends of them dying on the way.

For unknown reasons, a legendary being fought a saint, ultimately dying a heroic death.

Of course, this death also made him a legend.

However, afterwards, the church to which the saint belonged went to great lengths to suppress the legend.

As a result, people only know that such a thing happened, but they don't know which legend it was or what caused the conflict with the church.

This "certainty of success" is very appealing.

“Let’s go, let’s go and meet that great knight of Tailwind Town.” Parson’s lips twitched slightly when he mentioned the great knight, and his tone was sarcastic.

The position of Grand Knight only appears in outer towns.

In his view, it was a poor imitation of the name of the head of the Qiquan City Regiment.

As for Nemus, the Great Knight, Parsons wanted to see just who dared to steal his historical number!

Chapter 248 Arrogance

"Is that so?" Nemes sat cross-legged in the solitary confinement room, receiving the report from Kru.

After transforming into a young man, Granny Bird chose to retreat after failing to defeat Kru in several battles.

The opponent was quite fast, and Kru was busy dealing with the underground park, so he didn't give chase. However, he did leave some curse marks for future tracking.

Nemus didn't care much about this; it was just a clone of a different kind of demon.

Nems is now more focused on the vanished 'Bird Granny'.

Indeed, in a short period of time, Nemus had already obtained information about Granny Bird.

The other party is a genuinely kind person who is respected by many in the South District.

Even within the fabricated agreement, there were people who had received her favors.

Whether they are good or bad, most people will respect her, because no one knows if they will one day be seriously injured and lying on the street waiting to die.

A person who can disregard external factors and focus solely on saving lives is a possible escape route.

As a result of this understanding and mindset, the place where Grandma Bird lives becomes increasingly safe.

When Zovin was taken in, those ruthless bounty hunters quietly gathered outside, partly because they wanted to preserve their last escape route.

After receiving the information, Nemus's expression was somewhat puzzling.

"Is this fate?" Nemus made a choice, letting Zovin grow up freely, thus avoiding any direct connection with Granny Bird.

According to the original 'story', their own people would clash with Granny Bird while chasing Zovin, resulting in Granny Bird's death.

This would not only allow Zovin to regain his spirits, but would also bring him new enemies and create internal problems.

Although the people who fabricated the agreement all signed contracts with Nemes and were quite loyal to him.

But this doesn't mean they're like subordinates in a game, with their loyalty locked and they won't betray you no matter what you do to them.

If Nemus does something they find unacceptable, these people might risk being tortured to death by the contract to betray Nemus.

But even if Nemus hadn't done that, Granny Bird still died a violent death.

This is no longer Nemes's problem, but rather Granny Bird's own fate has come to an end.

Her life was over, so even if it wasn't Nemes who sent someone to kill her, there would have been other factors that led to Granny Bird's death.

"However, this also freed me from most of the cause and effect." Nemus was more concerned with the changes in fate involved.

Amidst these changes, I also felt more of the effects of fate.

“No wonder, the right choice will be favored by fate.” In that situation, Naims chose to meet the challenge, which was the right choice. As a result, a lot of misfortune stayed away from him, while good luck accumulated in Naims’s favor.

“This matter of Granny Bird can be used to my advantage, thereby turning my enemies against each other.” Nemus immediately thought of a way to make Zovin and Arojie stand against each other.

As for Zovin, his willingness to act as bait to help Isabella ambush the Bone Monster already proved his stance.

It's highly likely that Isabella and the new peacemakers will protect him.

Zovin and Isabella will probably team up.

Next, I might encounter some trouble...

"Bang!" The door to the solitary confinement cell was kicked open, and Parsons appeared in the doorway. His entourage, who had brought him with him, stepped back quite naturally after kicking open the door.

"You're the Great Knight Nail of Tailwind Town?" Parsons stood at the door, raised an eyebrow, glanced at Nailmus, and then asked.

The nonchalance and disdain in his tone were unmistakable.

“Parsons Levine, you're the one who teamed up with that priest to try and get the History from me, right?”

“How can you say that?” Parson’s contempt was undisguised: “You have no right to be involved in the annals of history. That thing should have been mine.”

"If you return the relevant items now, I might not hold you responsible."

"Otherwise, your time as a great knight will come to an end."

"We might have to make a trip to the Judgment Prison in Qiquan City."

"And hand over that controlled whale transformation too." The squire who had kicked the door earlier stood next to Parson, looking at Nems with a smile, and spoke on behalf of his master.

It's normal for a master to personally reclaim something as important as historical records.

Controllable whale transformation is ultimately just one path for those at the bottom to advance to the steel species.

Although it is also important, the master doesn't need to speak up, otherwise it would seem too greedy and undignified.

Therefore, it was his attendant who spoke up.

"I will plead with Lord Parsons on your behalf. Perhaps you can return to Qiquan City and take a position there."

Seeing the two of them, Nemus smiled and shook his head. In just a few words, the arrogance of the master and servant had filled the entire solitary confinement room.

Engaging in this kind of communication is a complete waste of time.

What's even more interesting is that among the people following behind the two was the elderly pastor from before.

He, who had been too scared to speak by Naimus before, now seemed to have shaken off all the shadows. He stood up straight and looked down at Naimus.

"Then go ahead and do it, if you can."

"Close the door now and get out of the confinement cell!" Nems' words made Parsons' squire feel as if he had been greatly insulted.

Can Nemes be compared to his master Parsons?

What Parsons does is his master's prerogative.

You, a mere high-ranking knight from Wagtail Town, dare to order me around?

"Or are you, as the investigator's entourage, deciding to lift my confinement?"

Church rules stipulate that even when under a restriction order, Nemus remains a Grand Knight, representing the Church of Tailtail Town.

Therefore, Naims cannot be interrogated.

Even investigators from higher-level local authorities are not acceptable.

All they could do was investigate any potential problems with Nems within the limited timeframe.

They didn't close the door to the solitary confinement cell at that moment, because Nems believed that if they voluntarily admitted to stopping the investigation, there would be no problem ending the confinement.

"Hmph! Let's go." Parson wasn't angry when he saw that Nemes wouldn't budge. He was just a nobody from a small place, unaware of the greatness of the nobles of Qiquan City.

Later, Naim will surely regret his underestimation of him today.

The attendant didn't close the door, but instead glanced at the priest and asked him to come over and close the door.

The pastor immediately ran up to close the door and then tried to catch up with Parsons.

However, he was glanced at by the attendant, so he quickly fell half a step behind the attendant.

His mouth was full of dissatisfaction and accusations against Naims.

He said he would definitely make Nems hand over the items.

They then went on to talk about some dirty secrets from Naims, and so on.

Chapter 249 Main Song

Watching Parsons leave, Nems already knew who the person was, but he didn't care much.

He's just a guy who developed strong self-confidence from a young age in a family environment.

Although he is over sixty years old, his physical endurance is probably not as good as Isabella's.

The configuration looks good, but it's just good.

Compared to someone like Isabella, Parsons was not a true genius.

Any relatively outstanding person, if placed in Parsons' position, would not perform too badly. If their thinking and will were more resolute, they might even surpass Parsons in his current state.

It seems like an extreme value, but the other party still has a lot to do in the steel industry.

Therefore, Parsons could be a powerful fighting force, but he was not considered a serious enemy.

The other party's weakness was clearly demonstrated in what just happened.

If Nemes were in Parsons' position, he wouldn't have talked so much about these things, but in reality, he wouldn't dare to take action.

They appear arrogant and domineering, but are actually weak and easily bullied.

In this situation, the key is to ignore church rules and take a hard line to seize key interests.

For Parsons, the key interests lie in historical numbers and controlled whaleization.

At this point, you don't need to worry too much about other issues.

Would violating church rules have a significant impact on Parsons?

Or will the impact outweigh the potential benefits?

If his power were stronger, he could disregard the church's rules in a short period of time and use torture to force Nemes to hand over his possessions.

Whether Nems can hold out, whether there are other means of resistance, or whether there are any pitfalls in the historical numbers are all things to consider later.

And afterwards, they probably won't face much punishment.

Even if there is punishment, it will be within the church. There may be some loss of reputation, but it will not cause any damage to actual interests.

His focus was on him, the eldest son of the Levin family.

At this stage, when it comes to matters of vital interest, we should not go all out, but instead underestimate the enemy.

Essentially, it is arrogance.

They believe that the current situation is not worth paying any price for, even if it is just reputation that does not involve any substantial benefits.

Then look at Nems; he started plotting smuggling on his very first day in office.

By now, everyone knows that smuggling is closely related to Nems, but is it a big problem?

The key is the interests. As long as the interests are there, the transfer of interests has been completed, order has been stabilized, and practical things have been done.
