At the same time, the arbitration tribunal can also enter a state of first-level alert.

At that time, the number of things the tribunal could intervene in began to increase dramatically.

Upon receiving the whistleblower letter, Roman immediately notified Isabella.

That's right. Even though they are competitors, and when it comes to matters of fairness and transparency, even Roman would trust Isabella.

That's the charm of Isabella: when it comes to ordinary people and the fairness of power, you can always trust her.

Isabella had just declared war on Nemes when she discovered that Roman had delivered this thing to her.

So she didn't hesitate much. She was going to join forces with the ruling faction to investigate Nemus. And if Nemus, as a Grand Knight, interfered with her using his power, she wouldn't be able to access many of the relevant files.

However, once Naim's power is limited, it will be much easier for them to investigate Naim.

Over the past six months, Naims has definitely done a lot of things. It's impossible for him to handle everything perfectly. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we will definitely find traces, and then we can find other evidence by following those traces.

These pieces of evidence may seem trivial, but many major events are revealed by the connection between seemingly insignificant matters.

If there is enough evidence, then Nemes can be convicted.

Most importantly, if Nemus is indeed using his Grand Knight authority to cover up something, then once that cover is gone, what he is hiding will most likely be exposed.

Therefore, they acted immediately and entered the adjudication process of the tribunal.

So, just as Nemus observed Dartment rushing in, he was confronted by members of the Tribunal with an investigation restraining order, which restricted his power as a Grand Knight.

At the same time, the restraining order also clearly states that all of today's actions will be recorded by the grid and sent to the Gas Springs Cathedral, and even to the headquarters of the Discipline Church, where they will be filed.

If it is ultimately found that Nemes is innocent, then the tribunal will be punished. If the process causes serious consequences and is not just for the investigation but for a power struggle, then it will be classified as a false accusation, and the false accusation will be punished accordingly.

If Nemes does anything beyond the restraining order during this process, he will be punished more severely no matter what problems are found later. However, if no problems are found and it is proven that the excess was to deal with an emergency, he will be completely innocent.

In short, it is still a game of strategy.

The restraining order minimizes interference from those in high positions who wield power over investigations, but also ensures that those in high positions do not lose their power to handle emergencies due to the restraint.

If one is innocent, then the ones who should be worried and fearful are the adjudicators.

Nemes looked at the restraining order and smiled.

Sure enough, as soon as someone went in, others would naturally follow suit and start a group.

Donghyuk, a man who had little hope left, had barely submitted his whistleblower letter when Dartmentley, without prior agreement, launched an attack on Naimus.

They executed a perfect teamwork, one in front and one behind.

Looking at Nems, Roman took a deep breath, remaining vigilant in case Nems resorted to desperate measures.

This was also the case when Xibin was still a Grand Knight.

The tribunal discovered the problem and immediately applied for an investigation restraining order. At the same time, because the old pastor's case was of great importance, they also called for assistance from the city of Gas Springs.

Gotthard, the golden-blooded one, found the president of the Floating World Society, killed him along with several elders who happened to be there, and brought back a batch of evidence before leaving.

This contains most of the evidence against the Spanish.

At the time, there was more evidence against Xibin than expected, so when the restraining order was issued, Xibin went berserk, killed someone, and fled.

Roman couldn't help but worry: if Nemes suddenly went berserk, could he defend against it?

However, it was clear that Nemes did not give him a chance to verify it.

“I can accept the restriction order, but… it seems like a large-scale battle is about to break out in Tailtail Town. Are you really sure you want to restrict me at this time?” Nemus said something that sounded more like a threat.

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Although Roman was a little scared, he didn’t want to lose face at the moment, so he replied forcefully.

Just looking at the smile on Nemus's face, a wicked fire rose within him.

He could sense Nems's contempt for him.

It seemed as if Naim was certain that Roman could not bear the responsibility for the serious consequences caused by the restraining order.

Being perceived as incompetent struck a nerve with Roman.

"We will find out your problems, and then slowly push you into a corner, tearing away your disguise layer by layer, so that you can be removed from your current position and become a rat that everyone wants to kill!" Roman couldn't help but speak harshly.

"Heh... I hope you can do it." Nemus chuckled insincerely, and then an alarm suddenly went off outside.

At the same time, Isabella and Roman received a message from the grid—the church prison had been attacked.

At that moment, the grid communicator set up in Naim's office also received the message.

However, instead of quickly making personnel changes as usual, Nemes just looked at Isabella with a slight smile.

Upon seeing this, Roman immediately became agitated and wanted to interrogate Nemes about whether the attack was related to him.

After all, what a coincidence! Nems had just threatened them with a large-scale battle, and immediately a mass attack on church facilities occurred—a sight rarely seen in decades.

However, Isabella, who hadn't said much, stopped Roman.

"The most important thing right now is to support the prison!"

After Isabella finished speaking, she looked at Nemus and said, "I request that the Grand Knight go to the confinement room and suspend the exercise of his authority."

Chapter 231 Strong Luck

Nemes stood up, did not answer Isabella, and simply walked towards the solitary confinement cell.

He went ahead, with Isabella and Roman following behind him, also leaving to provide support. Just as they came out, they stood a short distance behind him, one on his left and one on his right, like two lackeys.

Not far away, there was a large number of members of the adjudication team.

"Great Knight, you've come at the right time. A large-scale battle is taking place in the prison. We would appreciate it if you could..." Just then, the captain of the fifth squad appeared.

Team Five is the action team. In daily life, if something happens in Baiwei Town, Team Five needs to be dispatched to cooperate with the missionary department to bring the person back.

They are also responsible for the transportation of resources and prisoners.

However, faced with the request from the fifth team captain, Nemus could only shake his head, indicating that he was unable to help, as communication with these subordinates was restricted under the restraining order.

Speaking carelessly could be interpreted as colluding with subordinates, leading to the issuance of orders and so on.

Seeing this, Roman had no choice but to produce the restraining order from Naims.

"Nonsense!" the fifth team captain roared angrily.

They were in the middle of a battle when they somehow managed to restrict the commanding knight.

"Let's not waste any more time. We do have sufficient reasons and evidence to apply for this restraining order." Isabella was also slightly annoyed at this point; things had come too coincidentally.

If it weren't for this coincidence, their attack would have been perfectly timed, but now it seems somewhat disregarded the overall situation.

"Great Knight, please follow the members of the Judgment Team to the solitary confinement cell. The Grid will be watching you, while we need to go and provide support!" After Isabella finished speaking, she didn't give the five team captains any time to argue and led her people directly towards the prison.

Isabella, on the other hand, was relatively well-known, and the captain of the fifth team knew that now was not the time to discuss such matters.

They could only call out to the others to go to the prison together.

"I must say, the Dartmenley family is quite my lucky star." Nemes glanced behind him discreetly before continuing toward the confinement room, with the two remaining members of the adjudication team quickly following.

So far, everything is going more smoothly than expected.

While Datmenley's raid caused considerable trouble, it indirectly helped Nems complete his preparations in many ways.

Sitting in the solitary confinement cell, Nemus took a deep breath, sensing the current state of his body.

Although the historical turning point is still in a period of transition, the driving force has already begun to emerge.

My stats are increasing rapidly, and the first version of the Saint's Potion I took earlier is almost used up.

In other words, at this point, my value has reached eighty-three.

"This body has had defects after all. Although I have made up for many of them, the problems are still very serious."

"The exact value cannot be reached."

The so-called perfect value means reaching the theoretical limit.

The theoretical limit for Black Stone Seeds is ten points, but most cultivators reach eight or nine points before they can no longer improve, and thus seek resources to complete their advancement.

Reaching the perfect value has certain advantages, such as a higher success rate for advancement, easier subsequent cultivation, and the opportunity to obtain a characteristic called Perfect Form.

This characteristic makes it easier for individuals to enter a state of enlightenment.

Of course, achieving the perfect numerical values ​​is extremely difficult, and obtaining the perfect posture is even more difficult.

Nemus only successfully acquired the Perfect Form trait when he became a different kind of demon and raised his stats to the maximum of 300.

Nair's current body doesn't have that opportunity.

"I just don't know if I can quickly make up the remaining number and reach ninety." If Nemus were to rely solely on his own cultivation, it would still take him two or three years to reach ninety or more.

The current chaos is expected to reach its peak within a week.

At that time, everything will end.

"Historical numbers do not have the effect of developing numerical values; they are simply pure numbers."

"So even if I extract the historical number, I will still need a lot of energy to help me enter the promotion state, complete the absorption of the logarithm and the promotion."

"Before that, I need to do other things to quickly develop my stats, break into the ninety-something range, and qualify for promotion."

Nemus pondered the details of the future over and over again.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the Holy Son will side with the Dartmenley family. Bound by the family bloodline, it will be difficult for him to complete the true transformation into a saint."

In the future scenes we saw before, there was a crucial detail: the Holy Son followed behind Isabella, which was how he completed his key transformation and became someone who could crush Nemus.

But now, future developments are changing in a different direction.

Perhaps it was because he revealed the existence of the historical number that Dartmenty discovered something, which led him to make a certain decision.

This determination inspired the Son.

Thus, the Holy Son, who should have gone to Isabella, stayed with Dartmenli and was regarded by Dartmenli as his future successor.

"These are indeed interesting future developments." Nemus savored the details.

However, he did not take the future he saw as a certainty.

Any change in a decision could potentially cause future fluctuations.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is not the future, but whether one has the qualifications.

In all three visions of the future, he did not win.

In fact, at this moment, Nemus vaguely sensed that no matter how many future versions of himself he saw, he would not win in those future versions.

"To become a legendary species and acquire the secrets of history, one must do what others cannot and make breakthroughs beyond the normal future at crucial moments."

"Otherwise, in the face of the tide of history, let alone achieving historical success, being able to withdraw unscathed would already be considered a great act of caution."

"A crucial breakthrough is the most important thing!" Nemus carefully sensed the changes in his body.

As people gain a better understanding of the future, a certain quality accumulates within their bodies, gradually solidifying and taking shape as numerical values ​​develop.

At this moment, if you look closely, you will find that Nemus's appearance has changed slightly. His facial features are still the same, but he gives people a different feeling.

The palm lines on the hand converged, several lines twisted together, becoming clear and thick.

Meanwhile, three moles appeared on Naim's left earlobe.

The information about its characteristics also became clear at this moment.

Its name is—Strong Luck!

[Strong Luck: When you reach a crucial moment in your life, as long as you make the right choice, fate will respond to you!]

Chapter 232 Luck is Human Kindness

The moment the properties coalesced, Nemus sensed something converging towards him.

Of course, this convergence is not the main point.

The impact of such strong luck can only be mitigated at crucial moments.

However, there is a prerequisite: only by making the right choice can one obtain a response from fate.

And there is a vague sense that if a wrong choice is made, fate will not only not respond, but will also have some kind of backlash.

Therefore, while this characteristic itself may be very useful, it is best not to use it.

Its true value lies in the change in destiny that this ability brings.
