Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

'Here it goes again, which seat have you found?Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be under the school, this thing is really everywhere. '

Taking a deep breath, Edmund looked at the report in his hand and thought, this is not the first time that the Anyin Bureau has come into contact with similar idols, and they have already been in the dark in many places in the eight-pointed nest played against each other.

'Nest of Eight Points...Why are these guys chasing and desecrating these statues everywhere?Who is this heretical goddess... A lot of things are unknown, which is really a headache. '

Scratching his head, Edmund thought in his heart, then he glanced into the distance, and saw several charred corpses placed side by side.

'There is also a new force that has to be noticed this time, attacking a god statue stronghold in the eight-pointed nest and annihilating them all, this is a force that must be taken seriously.The ability to ignite a person from within is not something that ordinary apprentices or black-rank Extraordinary people can have.

"There are a lot of people, quick actions, high execution ability, and there are extraordinary people who are not low in rank, ah... It seems that I will have to write a five or six-page report for this later."

Scratching his head, Edmund murmured like this.

……

The sky was clear and sunny, in the afternoon.

King's Campus, female dormitory.

In a double bedroom on the fourth floor, Emma sat on her bed and looked at a book in her hand. Although she looked at the book seriously, her eyes flicked to the distance from time to time. Empty beds.

"Haven't you come back yet, Neveu, it's been a few days, nothing really happened..."

Looking at the empty bed, Emma murmured with a worried expression that it has been several days since her roommate bid farewell that night, and there is no trace of her, which is really abnormal.

"A lot of policemen suddenly came to the school today. It is said that some students have disappeared collectively. It feels so scary. Could Neveu's sudden disappearance also be related to this incident?" '

Emma thought this way in her heart, just when she was thinking about whether to go to see the police who are still in the school now, and tell them what happened here, there was a sound of opening the dormitory door. After Emma's attention was diverted, she found that the door had opened, and a familiar figure walked out from behind the door.

"Neff? You're back?!"

"Ah, Emma, ​​long time no see~"

Walking into the room, Nephness, who was dressed in a fashionable outfit and had a new bag on her shoulder, smiled and waved to her roommate sitting on the bed, while Emma immediately spoke in a little astonishment.

"Neveu, what have you been doing these two days? You can't see anyone all day long, you don't go to school, and you didn't say anything when you left. It's very worrying."

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I suddenly received a telegram that there was something urgent at home, so I hurried back, don't worry about anything."

Nephness smiled and said to Emma, ​​then closed the bedroom door and walked to her desk. Judging from her smile, she seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment.

"Is there something urgent at home? Um... no wonder, but looking at your body, I thought you were just going shopping." Looking at Nephness's new clothes and bags, which seemed to be expensive at first glance, Emma complained, while Nephness, who was already sitting on her seat, continued to answer with a smile.

"My bag was accidentally broken while I was doing errands. After finishing the errands, I went to buy a new one, because I had some money and changed my clothes by the way."

Nephness continued to say that at noon today, Dorothy came to the urban area to find her and Vanya, and distributed some spoils to them according to their efforts. In addition to things, I also got 100 pounds in cash.As a main female college student, Nephness went to the city to buy new clothes and bags immediately after getting the money, replacing her bag that was full of bricks and scum.

It’s a good feeling to be able to make money to support myself and to be extravagant by participating in the club activities of the Rosary Cross for the first time

Shopping and the complete disappearance of the Eight-pointed Nest's power in foreign campuses made Nephness feel better, so she came back soon.

'Well, then, it's time to get down to business. '

Thinking about it, Nephness, who was sitting on the seat, opened her new bag, and took out several old-looking books of different thicknesses from it, and put them on the table.

These are secret biography, the secret biography specially distributed to Vanya and her after Dorothy went to the city at noon today, and each of them has a few copies.

'According to Miss Dorothea, as long as I read these books and pray to Akka, I can accumulate the so-called 'spirituality', just like reading the velvet books before, after passing the spiritual accumulation, I Will be able to become eligible to step into the truly extraordinary. '

Looking at the several secret biography on the desk, Nephness thought with some excitement in her heart that she, who was a student of the Secret Society, also dreamed of becoming a real Extraordinary. She did not expect that in this whole secret Today, when the Zhixue Society is gone, she can actually glimpse the extraordinary way.

'Thank you Rosicrucian, thank you Akka...'

Nephness thought silently of gratitude in her heart, and then began to read when she was about to wait for someone. Emma, ​​who saw this scene on the other side, tilted her head slightly.

"Neffu, are you preparing to rework with so many books you have taken?"

"Ah, yes, these study materials of mine are just for reviewing for the exam... what? Retaking!?"

Hearing Emma's words, Nephness turned her head in shock, looking at her as if she suddenly realized a terrible thing.

"Yeah, have you forgotten? Last semester's Preet Architecture Appreciation class, because the exam questions were leaked, everyone re-examed this semester. You were still reviewing when you were about to leave. This time you completely missed the exam. "Emma said flatly what made Nephness despair.

'Ahh... I forgot, there are exams! !I'm totally out of luck with this wave! ' Nephness cried out in despair in her heart, and her previous happy mood was instantly washed away.

Now Nephness is thinking about whether to go to the teacher to explain the reason, but as long as the relevant truth is told, it may cause more trouble.

For a moment, Nephness, who was in a happy mood just now, felt the gloomy future.

'Aka... please save the students! '

Chapter 230 Communication

The northern suburb of Tivian, the King's Campus of Royal Crown University.

In the afternoon, in the vast school library, the students in the scattered seats were reading books seriously. Everyone kept the basic silence as before, unlike other places in the school where discussions about the police and the sudden disappearance of students.

In a corner of the library by the window, Dorothy was sitting in a familiar position, beside her were stacks of various books, and in front of her was an open book, The words on the book are all handwritten, and the clear and clear handwriting appears out of thin air in the blank spaces. This is "Wen Hai Hang Zhi".

"Dear 'Scholar', please forgive me for interrupting. I still have new questions to ask you today. This time I need to ask you about the function of an instrument. Its main body seems to be a wooden box with a A big brass horn, the box has a drawer, and there is a black disc with holes inside, the specific appearance is like this..."

Words and words appeared on the pages of "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", and behind the words, a simple sketch appeared, and a few simple strokes vividly outlined the appearance of an instrument.

Dorothy looked at the pattern on "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", and soon knew what it depicted, and she immediately wrote a response on the book.

"Greetings, Mr. Capak, the machine you describe is called a phonograph, a machine capable of playing recorded sounds, and the black disc with holes you are talking about is called a record, and is a machine for recording sound. medium, with the phonograph, you can play back the sound recorded on the record."

After finishing writing Dorothy's reply, she watched her handwriting slowly seep into the paper. After waiting patiently for a period of time, a new sentence appeared on the page of the flight log. Compared with last year's handwriting, this time the handwriting is slightly crooked, as if people were a little excited when writing.

"A machine that can play back the recorded sound? To be able to invent such a machine, the country across the sea is really too smart. Dear bachelor, can you teach me how to use this magical 'gramophone'? "

Looking at the newly appeared words on the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" in front of her, Dorothy smiled slightly, and then picked up a pen and continued to write on the book.

"First, you need to install the disc properly..."

Afterwards, Dorothy patiently wrote how to use the gramophone on the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", and slowly answered the questions that appeared on the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", one after another. The young tribal youth seems to have finally succeeded in making the gramophone around him work.

"Really! Dear Maester, what you said is true! This gramophone can really play the recorded sound! Such a beautiful sound, this is really amazing!"

On the navigation log, the handwriting of the response became very scribbled. Just seeing the handwriting, Dorothy could imagine the scene of the excited tribal youths in the distance before the music.

'This guy named Kapak is really a young man full of curiosity. He didn't expect that this flight log would go to the New World across the sea. Fortunately, such a guy got the contact text. '

Dorothy thought this way in her heart. When communicating with Capac as Aka that day, Dorothy told the other party that there was someone who held similar texts as him. Shortly after that, how many Rossi changed her identity and contacted Capac.

In order to find out the specific situation of the other party, this time, Dorothy changed her name to "Bachelor", and sent a new message to Capac as a person who was also favored by Akka, and the other party was also very happy. Almost surprised to reply.

Under Dorothy's flickering, Capac quickly believed in her new identity. Suddenly, Capac seemed to have found a long-lost companion, and chatted with Dorothy very enthusiastically.

After all, it is easier and more convenient to communicate with Aka, a powerful spirit who doesn't know what the real body is, and a bachelor who has the same experience as himself.

During the communication, Kapak would often ask Dorothy how to use some industrial products. Kapak collected a large number of industrial products, but not all of them came with instructions for use like medicines. Rosie also often explained the usage of these things to Kapak, just like she did just now.

Of course, in addition to explaining, Dorothy was also constantly inquiring about Kapak's own situation. After several exchanges, Dorothy had already got a general idea of ​​the other party's situation.

First of all, Dorothy knew that the other party’s name was Capac, and that the other party’s place was the continent on the other side of the sea. He said that there were invaders from Prieter who came across the sea from the east to invade their land. According to the map The location above, Dorothy believed that it was the new continent to the west of the main continent.

In the subsequent communication, Dorothy determined that Capac was an aborigine of the New World, a tribal youth. He hated the invaders like many other aborigines, but he did not reject the things of the intruders. interested in industrial products, so Dorothy often explained the uses of these industrial products to Kapak, and in exchange he would also explain some situations in the New World to Dorothy.

For example, Dorothy learned that there are many aboriginal tribes in the New World. Kapac's tribe is called the Tupa tribe. They were loyal to the same king a long time ago but later split.For example, the New World has many spirits of the wild that the main continent does not have.For example, conflicts between colonists and so on...

And every time she explains to Kapak, Dorothy can get some information about the New World, and this time, Dorothy hopes to have a deeper understanding of the mystic or religious information of these tribes.

"Kapak, I want to ask you, do you have any mainstream religious worship? I mean not the worship of the spirit of the wild, but the worship of the gods, just like the radiance three worshiped by the colonists. Saint like that."

Dorothy wrote down the words on the flight log, and after watching the words on the book slowly disappear, she quietly waited for the other party's reply.

After a while, Kapak's handwriting appeared vividly on the paper again.

"Dear scholar, you may not know. In our culture, there is no difference between gods and spirits. Everything is spirit, and everything is god. Although spirits may be strong or weak, except for evil spirits, we all repay you. With reverence.

"We worship the spirits of the wilderness, the spirits of our ancestors... These spirits are all around us, and many of them can directly communicate with shamans and even appear, which is very different from the concept of intruder gods.

"If we want to say, among the spirits we worship, who is the closest to the existence of the God of Light that the invaders talked about, there is only one.

"On this land of ours, each tribe believes in a different spirit, but no matter which tribe they are in, they will offer the highest worship to one existence, that is the 'great soul'.

"He is the place where all souls in this world are born and finally return. He is the ancestor of souls and the end of souls."

Chapter 240 Search

'The great soul...the place where all souls originate and eventually return...is this the god worshiped by the aborigines of the New World? '

On the seat in a secluded corner of the library, Dorothy watched Capac's reply and thought, in terms of this description, if this great soul is really a god, it may be a god that belongs to the "Sabi" domain.

'If you just listen to the description, it looks very powerful, even more powerful than the three holy wolves of the glow, but I don't know if this is true, and if it is, it may be a false bragging myth .

Dorothy thought this way, and then she continued to ask Capac some detailed questions about that great soul, but the answer was beyond Dorothy's expectation.

"I'm sorry, respected scholar, I don't know much about the great soul. On our land, although all the tribes people worship the great soul, but the degree is not high. Although the great soul is revered, However, the importance of each tribe is not as high as the spirit of the wilderness of each tribe, and the shaman in the tribe generally does not directly hold sacrifices to great souls.

"For our ordinary tribal people, the great soul is very noble, but it is not important. Some other spirits are more closely related to our lives, so I don't know much..."

Seeing Capac's reply, Dorothy frowned slightly, and his words reminded Dorothy of some associations.

'Exalted, but unimportant...?This feeling is a bit like the Savior of Radiance. As for the appearance of Radiance Religion, the most important thing in Radiance Religion is the Three Saints. Almost all the main rituals and prayers revolve around the Three Saints, as the Savior who is the source of the Three Saints. On the contrary, it seems that the sense of presence is not strong, and there are some background boards. '

Dorothy thought about it like this, and then she didn't think about it more, and instead chatted with Capac about other things.

In the ensuing exchange, Capak told Dorothy some of his difficulties.

"Dear bachelor, to tell you the truth, I very much want to acquire more knowledge to help my tribe, especially medical treatment. I have seen the magic of invaders' medicines, and now I am eager to master Learn more about medical treatment to help My people who are afflicted with various ailments.

"However, what troubles me is that if I want to ask Aka for more knowledge, I also need to offer valuable knowledge, but unfortunately, the precious knowledge among the tribes is provided by the shaman. Keep it, I don’t have the right to touch it for the time being.”

Sitting on her own seat, Dorothy couldn't help touching her chin while looking at Hang Zhi in front of her. After she understood Kapak's plight, she began to think.

'This little brother is talking about a problem. In this kind of tribe, traditional inheritance knowledge is very precious, and there is no position that should be out of reach, and this little brother's status in the tribe does not seem to be It's very high, I don't know how long it will take to let him get in touch with the precious knowledge of shamans, maybe I can help him a little bit and improve his status among the tribe. '

Dorothy thought this way, in her opinion, as long as Kapak can make a little more contribution to the tribe, maybe he will have more opportunities to get in touch with the knowledge passed down in the tribe.

Thinking like this, Dorothy took up a pen and continued to write on the flight log.

"I can understand your difficulties, Kapak, I think I can help you with this matter, how about this, I can sacrifice the corresponding knowledge to A-Ka but don't need anything in return, I ask A-Ka Aka begged to give you the rewards I got, and after two days, you can pray to Aka to receive it."

After finishing writing, Dorothy watched as the handwriting in front of her eyes gradually sank beneath the pages of the book, and after a while, Capac's slightly distorted handwriting jumped out on Dorothy's paper again.

"Really!? Thank you so much, Bachelor! I will remember your kindness, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity!"

Looking at the handwriting on the book, Dorothy could imagine Capac's happy and excited scene, and Dorothy smiled slightly at this.

'If you want to have a good return, you need an upfront investment. It is necessary for that kid to gain a higher status in the tribe, and this investment is nothing to me. '

Dorothy thought this way, what Capac wanted was some knowledge about medical treatment. Coincidentally, there is a medical department in the Holy Crown University, and many medical books are kept in the library.

'For the tribal people in the New World, some basic medical knowledge should be able to play a very good role, such as the prevention and control of plagues, parasites, how to use various medicines and medical equipment correctly, trauma treatment, Simple surgeries and so on...these are all technologies that can improve the survival rate of people in backward environments.It should not be difficult to find books about these technologies in this library. '

Thinking of this, Dorothy looked around, and looked around at the spacious and bright library with neatly arranged rows of bookshelves.

This is the library of the Capital University of the Priet Kingdom. Its collection of books is astonishing, covering all aspects of the mundane field. It can be said that except for secret biography, books in other fields can be found here. .

This is why Dorothy likes to spend time in the library when she has nothing to do, because a lot of knowledge that is not secret is also very useful. For example, she learned civil engineering knowledge last time to command the corpse to clean up the ruins and dig tunnels.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

While muttering, Dorothy stood up from her seat, ready to look for related books.

At this moment, the system's alarm sounded in her head.

'Warning, information retrieval for self detected...Warning, information retrieval for self detected.Estimated retrieval completion time is 97 seconds, please be prepared. '

Hearing this voice, Dorothy was startled for a moment, then frowned and sat back on her seat. She had heard such a warning from the system before when she was in Igwent, and she knew what it meant.

'The warning is...someone is divining me?who is it?Is it the Security Bureau?Or the Nest of Eight Points? '

Dorothy thought of this in her heart. Obviously, the last time she made a big fuss, stopped the desecration ceremony, and killed a white order, which was enough to attract the attention of relevant forces and consume precious "enlightenment" resources for divination.

"I feel that the possibility of the Anyin Bureau is unlikely... I didn't threaten them anything, and they probably didn't know that the battle in the ritual field involved the White Order.But the Nest of the Eight Points is different, they clearly know that they have lost a white level of combat power, and the important ceremony has been prevented, and my hatred value is probably already very high with them. '

Dorothy analyzed in her heart like this, but she didn't think about anything further. For her, the more important thing at present is to deal with divination.

'The system consumes spirituality and blocks retrieval for me. '

Dorothy said silently to the system, but fortunately, both "Shadow" and "Qi" are very rich now, and she is not too afraid of divination.

'This search has been blocked...'

Along with the consumption of 1 "Shadow" and 1 "Enlightenment" spirituality, the sound of the system came, and just when Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, the warning sound of the system came again.

'Warning, information retrieval for self detected...Warning, information retrieval for self detected.Estimated retrieval completion time is 97 seconds, please be prepared. '

Recalling the warning sound of the system like a repeater in her mind, Dorothy was slightly taken aback, and then said involuntarily.

'Hey, is this still against me? '
