"For the honor of the family, for everything, let's fight!" Dartmanley said solemnly. The other family members also knew that the family had reached a critical moment, and they would not survive if they did not fight.

The blood began to stir restlessly, and then it started to ignite.

Subsequently, most of the Dartmanley family members left the manor in batches, quietly heading to their designated locations according to the battle strategy agreed upon at the beginning.

Soon, only Dartmanley and the Holy Son remained in the entire manor.

"Is it really a good idea to send them to their deaths?" The Holy Son put down the flowers and asked Dartmenli.

“It’s all for the family,” Datmenley said coldly. “I’ve already investigated.”

“To extract historical data, one needs to occupy a position, just like the ‘protagonist’ in a play.”

“Nair has stirred up a storm in Tailwind Town. He is now consolidating his position step by step. In the process, anyone who has the opportunity to challenge for this position can take his place if they can defeat him.”

"Of course, we still need the help of history in this process."

"Therefore, it is still necessary to obtain the bloodline of fairies in any case."

"The earlier you step down, the greater the challenges you face, but the greater your chances of taking over. As long as you are qualified, you can earn enough historical recognition."

"So you just sent them to their deaths?" the Holy Son asked again.

“That was just a necessary sacrifice,” Dartmenley replied. “The family bloodline is cursed, and so am I.”

“They are not qualified, I am not qualified, I am too old, so it can only be you, Naim!”

“As the Holy Son, you are fully qualified.”

"We will do everything we can to pave the way for you."

"And you will become a legendary being, a saint, the new Saint Dartmenley."

"So...you're all going to your deaths?" the Holy Son asked again.

“That’s right, we all have to die, and death will clear away all obstacles for you!” At this moment, Dartmanli looked at the Holy Son with an indescribable expectation in his eyes.

"Let's go, time is running out." Datmenley said no more, took the Holy Path Sword, and closed his eyes.

Seeing the other party's resolute expression, the Holy Son nodded, then turned and walked outside.

As for the flowers he had been holding, he casually tossed them aside.

He shouldn't have become a plant that steals the chance to live from others.

The Dartmanley family, being social animals, are willing to accept him, regard him as their hope for the future, and provide him with all the sustenance. So perhaps he should also become such a social animal.

As the Holy Son departed, Dartmenley opened his eyes.

He didn't know if his choice was right or wrong, but his family had already reached this point, and he had to take a gamble.

He stood up and walked to the side. According to his measurements, the journey wasn't particularly fast, and he arrived quickly.

The house, built of exquisite stone bricks, was slashed open with an "X" by two swords, and then the bricks were kicked aside to reveal what was inside.

Inside the hall, a blood-red magic circle had been set up.

Cecilia was placed at the center of the crimson magic circle.

Chapter 224 Wild Ideas

“I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to get so close to the family.” Dartmanley glanced at the unconscious Cecilia in the center of the magic circle.

At this moment, Cecilia's entire body was covered in golden patterns. If one had even a little medical knowledge, one would recognize that these patterns were basically the major blood vessels in the human body.

In other words, at this moment, the blood flowing in Cecilia's veins has turned into some kind of golden substance.

This is actually the initial form of the golden medicine.

All that is needed is to use a magic array to extract blood from Cecilia's entire body to obtain the real golden medicine.

“We did anticipate that you would tamper with Cecilia’s body to ensure that you would know when she becomes the Golden Elixir,” a voice rang out. ’Pool’ was standing not far away, speaking to Dartmenley.

“You are… Nair’s squire?! Does Nair look down on me that much?” Although Dartmanley said this, he did not underestimate Poole in the slightest.

He held a sword in one hand and tore off his clothes with the other, revealing his body, which was over two hundred years old.

The lifespan of steel is actually only about two hundred years.

Dartmanley has reached the limit of his lifespan. Although he is still relatively healthy, this is only due to the use of many precious medicines and various secret techniques.

Since being defeated by Nemes, Dartmenley has aged considerably.

Its wrinkled body is covered with symbols forming a circular magic circle.

As Dartmanley slapped his palm onto the magic circle, he took a deep breath.

As if infusing a surge of power into his dim life force, his previously wrinkled and aged body straightened up in the next instant.

Youth seems to have returned to this body once again.

“Come on, you want this golden elixir, and so do I. Let’s settle this with a fight.” Datmenley’s eyes showed little emotion.

After saying this, Dartmenley swung his sword and slashed at Poole, who was guarding the magic circle.

At the very moment Datmenley made his move, the other members of the Datmenley family also made their move.

The number of people in the church prison has increased significantly compared to before.

One reason is that Isabella discovered their shady dealings with the nobility.

On the other hand, there are several important figures currently imprisoned in the church.

First and foremost is the owner of this treasure that has attracted countless people – Zovin.

At this moment, his net worth is astonishing. Although he knows that such matters are under close surveillance by those above, and that various factions also know that a little blood might be useless.

However, during the time he was imprisoned here, many people openly and secretly tried to draw blood from Zovin under various pretexts.

"Minister Dong-hyuk."

"What brings you here?" A church member suddenly asked warily from outside the prison.

"The missionary department has found some case information, and we need to inquire about Zovin's situation."

"Don't worry, it's not an interrogation, he'll be in the jail," Donghyuk said in a low voice, appearing very businesslike.

And this is indeed Donghyuk's current power.

Although he made a mistake that led to the death of his grandfather, it also caused Dong-hyuk's competitiveness to disappear completely.

However, the competition is not over yet, and Donghyuk is indeed still the head of the mission department.

He does indeed have the relevant authority to investigate certain cases.

So the guards at the prison gate had no choice but to let Donghyuk in.

The moment he stepped into the prison, Donghyuk's heart pounded, and his blood began to circulate faster.

Not many people actually know that the Donghe family and the Xibin family are related.

After all, the Xibin family inherited Lillian's name.

Donghyuk's family did not.

Therefore, although they are relatives, there is a kind of barrier between them that others do not have.

Donghyuk tried his best to calm himself down and then walked towards the cell where Zovin was.

Upon entering the private room, it was discovered that there was another door separating Zuowen from the rest of the room.

There is only one small window for communication between the inside and outside.

Zuowen was sitting on the ground when he heard the knocking. He then saw Donghe behind the small window and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Zowen, the missionary department has found some information that I think you need to know. Perhaps you can provide some intelligence." Donghyuk tried his best to make it sound like a formal inquiry, while glancing at the prison staff listening in from the side.

Zuowen's attention was immediately drawn to it, and Donghe, seeing this, immediately handed over a piece of paper that seemed to have something written on it through the window.

The supervisors nearby walked over, seemingly wanting to see what was written on the paper.

"This is closely related to the case and is classified information!" Donghyuk quickly interrupted the other person.

After a few seconds of eye contact, the supervisor could only say, "You can't put your hand in."

Upon hearing this, Donghyuk nonchalantly crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it in.

Zuowen picked up the crumpled paper, unfolded it, glanced at it a few times, and then looked at Donghe over there.

Donghyuk immediately straightened up, as if he were making an oath before a statue.

"This guy, he's practically a bloodline with no descendants left, what's he even thinking about?" Lillian sat on Zovin's shoulders, swinging her tiny, finger-sized feet, and also saw the contents of the paper, and made a comment.

The paper clearly stated that Zovin should hand over the secrets of the History Number and anything related to fairies. Donghyuk swore he would avenge Zovin's family, rescue Zovin, and kill Nemus.

Donghyuk even gave a rough outline of his plan.

First, they proactively disclosed the tavern's collaboration with Nemus in smuggling whale products. Even if they couldn't force Nemus to step down from his position as Grand Knight, they could at least limit Nemus's power.

Once Nemes loses power, he can seize the opportunity to regain control of the tavern and take back control of the smuggling business.

He used the profits from smuggling as leverage to win people over and get them to elect him as bishop.

Then came revenge.

In the name of the bishop, he joined forces with others to take action against Nemes.

Currently, Donghyuk is still lacking in strength, so he needs information from the historical records to find Nemus's weakness. If he could activate Nemus's bloodline and grant him the power of the fairy, that would be even better!

The entire plan can only be described in four words—outlandish.

It is filled with countless assumptions.

It's completely impractical; its feasibility is practically nonexistent.

"You can leave now. I have nothing more to say." Zovin shook his head and tore the paper in his hand to shreds.

Donghyuk's eyes immediately turned red.

He paid such a high price and made such great efforts.

As a result, his family's business has been seized by Nemes, his grandfather was burned to death because of him, and his reputation has been completely ruined.

He must obtain the power of the fairies and the number of history in order to turn the tide.

In order to ensure the plan went smoothly, he even secretly sent someone to report Nemus!

Chapter 225 Madness

Donghyuk was trembling all over.

The trembling was so intense that the supervisors nearby noticed something was wrong.

"What are you doing, Donghyuk?" The question rang out, but it didn't reach Donghyuk's ears.

"I have no way out." Donghyuk thought to himself.

He then raised his head, his eyes fixed intently on Zuowen.

"You little brat who will die with your whole family, why, why won't you listen to me?!" Donghyuk demanded.

Filled with resentment, he no longer cared about anything else.

Beneath this resentment lies a fear—a fear of Nems.

Since Nemus became a Grand Knight, he has been completely overshadowed. Nemus is the perfect child, while he is a good-for-nothing who can't do anything right.

This continued, as Nemus wielded increasing power, while he became essentially Nemus's errand boy.

His grandfather also kept telling him to learn more from Nems.

But deep down, he still harbored a desire to prove himself.

So the moment he was nominated as a candidate for bishop, Donghyuk had the idea that he had to become a bishop no matter what.

He put in so much effort, yet he ended up playing the clownish role.

He burned his own grandfather to death, yet he gained nothing from the battle.

The way he was completely overwhelmed by Naim made him even more terrified of Naim.

He had already given up hope, but then Zovin's situation suddenly came to the fore.

So he took a desperate gamble and devised this plan. In his mind, if everything went smoothly, he would become a legendary hero, while Nemus would only become a pariah.
