Now, Dartmenley realizes that they have been working in the wrong direction all along.

Saint Dartment's death was related to the cataclysmic events, but it was probably not the main cause. The main cause of his death was likely related to fate.

Perhaps not as severely defying fate as that unknown saint, but still cursed by fate.

The obstacles on the holy path are a curse from fate!

Those were misfortunes, things similar to those that occurred during periods of historical transition.

Only in this way can we explain why the hero cursed by fate broke the curse after gaining historical significance and becoming a legendary being.

"According to historical records, this is the antidote for the family!" After arriving at this answer, Dartmanley felt himself entering a kind of 'orgasm'.

The excitement of finding the ultimate goal in life and being able to see the end completely revitalized his aging body.

Because of this state, he became more and more in sync with Saint Lu, and vaguely knew through Saint Lu that his ideas were correct.

Dartmanley was about to gather all his family members and tell them this information, so as to unite the entire clan's strength to obtain the historical number, but he suddenly calmed down.

“Most of the family members are good for nothing and good for making things worse; they are not trustworthy.” Dartmanley suffered greatly from this; most of the family members would fail him at crucial moments.

On the one hand, it was because of their own limited abilities, and on the other hand, it was because they were all cursed.

"The obstacles on the holy path are obvious, but the curse in our blood is hidden."

“Concentrating the family’s power might actually cause the plan to fail because of the accumulated curse.”

"Perhaps this is why our father was unwilling to tell us the reasons after he learned them."

"Being unable to recognize the existence of a curse through one's own abilities only becomes a burden." At this moment, Dartmenley realized this.

It was as if I had woken up from a nightmare and realized the stupid things I had done.

"The curse remains in my bloodline, yet I must still concentrate the power of my bloodline."

“A useless bloodline brings no glory, but rather sin and burden.”

"So the main person we trained back then, Neil, had very poor aptitude and abilities." Dartman couldn't help but recall Neil's performance during his time with the family.

A lot of effort and resources were spent on training them, but their achievements can only be described as mediocre, and they are completely unworthy of those resources.

"He gradually escaped his predicament after leaving his family."

“It is highly likely that after that, Nair had some opportunity to rewrite the curse in his bloodline.”

"The Breath of Holy Law? This breathing technique is said to be related to destiny and can bring revelation."

At this moment, Dartmanley couldn't help but feel the urge to support Nemes once again.

If Nemus obtains the historical information, will he also be able to lift the curse on the Dartmenley family?

However, he quickly abandoned the idea.

“There is another one in this family who might understand me.” Datmenli walked out of the library, glanced at Daros who was standing guard outside the door, and said, “Take me to see that child, the child of the Datmenli family.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Te also received the message.

He lit the note containing the information on a candle, then waved his hand, signaling his nominal father to leave.

Previously, White made a mistake.

He was not in a hurry to contact Zovin, believing that he could find him at any time.

So they chose to go and block Kluge.

As a result, Kru escaped, and when he turned back to look for Zovin, Zovin was nowhere to be found.

He failed to obtain the Sword of Polaris and then sought to search for it further.

Nems secretly began sending church personnel to investigate anything related to arrows, so White had no choice but to keep a low profile.

He never expected that this matter would involve information related to the legendary species.

"So it seems I'm the one who knows the most." White wasn't annoyed; instead, he laughed, his golden eyes filled with interest in the history of the world.

At this moment, he at least had the advantage in intelligence.

That's 'Kru,' a person with a demonic aura. He's clearly one of Nems's men.

Nems is definitely not as open and honest as he appears today.

The mastermind deeply hidden in Tailwind Town is not the previous demon warlock, but rather very likely Nemus.

“The capture of the demon warlock was also orchestrated by Nair; he was eliminating dissidents.”

"At the same time, Nair probably also took over the demon warlock's group. That curse warlock probably joined his camp because of this."

"The reason why Niall exposed this matter at this moment is merely a nominal withdrawal."

“Step back and make room for others to fight for that elusive number of history.”

“I absolutely cannot get involved before Nair actually takes the stage and the historical numbers are truly revealed.”

“But there’s still one problem: does Nair know my identity?” White frowned, unsure if he had been exposed.

At this moment, he began to suspect that the person who had infiltrated the White Trade Association was also one of Nems's people.

If so, his problem will most likely be exposed.

"So what should I do?" Bai Te's gaze shifted as he thought of the person he had been keeping an eye on.

"Rhine...heh!"

Chapter 219 Full of Suspicious Points

Isabella walked down the street, her expression serious.

She exuded an aura that made her unapproachable, completely different from her usual demeanor.

This incident involving Nems made her feel a sense of unease.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have never really known this Nair.

That's been the case from the very beginning.

Whether it's the garrisoned paladin in Backfin Village or the great knight in Tailtail Town now.

What she saw was always the facade that Nemus wore on the outside.

At first, in the village of Dorsal Fin, Isabella was wary of people she couldn't understand.

However, as time went by and she witnessed too much filth, Isabella gradually realized that not being able to see through things would actually give her and the other party some space.

But now, this delusion has been completely shattered.

She could condone Nemes's smuggling because it only sacrificed the future of a few floating whales to maintain the current order and did not cause much harm to humans.

Isabella's kindness stems from her fellow humans; she protects the phlox because the phlox are a habitat for humans.

She can distinguish between what's important and what's not.

However, Isabella could not accept Nemes's actions of imprisoning the Sibin family for the sake of historical records, and his sheltering of people like Op, who were associated with the old pastor.

In her view, people are equal, and it is wrong for someone to harm the rights of others for their own benefit.

It's true that Zovin's father, Xibin, was a criminal, but there's no such thing as being implicated in his crime.

If that's the case, then the Xibin family shouldn't be subjected to this kind of soft imprisonment.

Of course, this also involved a deal between Naimus and Sibin, with Naimus able to portray the soft imprisonment as protection.

This wasn't really a crime, but the way Nemes treated others during the process terrified Isabella.

This shows that Nemes doesn't actually care about other people at all.

This person is very likely an absolute egoist.

He treated the people well not because he was kind, but because it would earn him a good reputation.

He maintained order in the church only because it helped him gain profit.

From this perspective, there seems to be no problem.

But what if one day we could gain even greater benefits by mistreating the people?

So, will Nemes still do that?

But from this point of view, Nemes and she are absolutely at odds.

And this is even more evident from the fact that Nemes later sheltered Op and others.

Although the smuggling of whale skin ore was never confirmed, Isabella always remembered it.

Furthermore, she was fairly certain that when she and Jacques went to investigate, they did not find the existence of the mine or the miners.

Those miners were probably silenced; Op and his gang were absolutely ruthless criminals who treated human life like dirt.

Thinking this, Isabella once again retrieved some relevant files from the village of Dorsal Fin.

Although the case was mainly handled by Qiquan City, Baiwei Town also received a lot of people from Beiqi Village.

The more Isabella looked, the colder her heart became.

Most of Nems's testimony was quite reasonable, except for one point, which now seems somewhat inexplicable—why was the old priest driven to the brink of despair, and then, in his despair, suddenly realized the truth and took the pseudo-saint's potion?

According to the old pastor, he stayed in the village of Dorsal Fins for twenty years, during which time he established contact with most of the villagers.

He is able to transfer the damage through this connection.

As long as this ability remains unresolved, the old priest is unlikely to despair.

Isabella has seen many people who repent because they were driven to a dead end after all their efforts were thwarted.

So, how did Nemus, a paladin, handle damage transfer?

Isabella hadn't previously considered the darker aspects of human nature, assuming that Nemus possessed some special power.

However, since Op and his men are still closely associated with Nemes, she has to start thinking in that direction.

Isabella selected villagers from the backfin village who had been received by the tail-end town and found that there were far fewer than she had imagined.

With the list in hand, Isabella then went to find the survivors from that year.

Upon seeing Isabella again, many people seemed to have had their wounds touched, and were unwilling to talk about what had happened in the past.

However, some people also told Isabella about some of the things that happened when they woke up.

For example, when they were collecting the bodies, they found that many of them had died from swords and knives.

They were there, angrily denouncing the old pastor for transferring his hurt onto their family and relatives.

Although Isabella was embarrassed, she asked them to describe some of the wounds of the deceased.

After leaving these people's homes, Isabella seemed somewhat dazed.

Nemus is a highly skilled swordsman, and because of this, his sword techniques are very powerful, requiring many people to share the damage from the transfer.

Even so, the sword marks left should still be neat, not the rough appearance of a blade after being cut and chipped...

Although there were other possibilities, things gradually took a turn in a direction that Isabella least wanted to see.

"During my battle with the old priest, Nemus and Op, among others, cooperated. But once they discovered that the old priest could transfer damage, some of them directly attacked the villagers."

"That's why the old priest's damage transfer failed."

"The one who did it was most likely one of Op's men..."

Isabella felt a strong smell of blood rushing towards her.

Nemes's original image has now completely collapsed.

At the same time, all the doubts that had been lingering in my mind before surged up once again.

What exactly happened in Dorsal Fin Village?!

Besides killing the old priest, what else did Nemes do?

Is it true that Naims said Jacques was manipulated by the old pastor and died a gruesome death together?

A host of questions weighed heavily on Isabella's mind.

Excuses can be found for all of these things.

For example, killing those villagers in order to defeat the more dangerous old pastor.

But Nems was too ruthless.
