Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

After a simple response, the doctor-looking man backed away slowly, while Ann Revers continued to walk forward, and finally came to an iron gate at the end of a corridor. Refus was dressed similarly, but the guards were simpler in form. They also nodded slightly after meeting Ann Refus.

Without saying anything, An Leifus opened the iron door in front of him, and entered a small and dark room. He placed a small table, and behind the small table was a nervous looking Vanya. On the other side of the small table, stood an old nun with an old face.

An Leifus turned back and closed the door behind him, then sat in front of Vanya, stared at her twice, and then spoke slowly.

"Sister Fanya Chafferon, thank you for your report today. We have checked at the History Department. The secret observatory there was indeed maliciously modified as you said, and the History Department The members of the team were also slightly contaminated by drug awareness, and the work of the History and Economics Office has been suspended, and all the contaminated personnel have been sent for treatment."

Listening to An Leifusi's words, Vanya was slightly taken aback, and then spoke with a sigh of relief.

"Phew... have you all been sent for treatment? That's great. Blessed by the Holy Mother, nothing bad happened." Vanya said devoutly, while An Leifusi continued to speak in a deep voice .

"The bad situation is actually not without it. The deacon Ludo Kok that you mainly reported has disappeared. We searched the History and Economics Office and his residence carefully, but we didn't find him."

"What...Deacon Kirk is gone, how could...he was still there when I left..." Listening to what Ann Reves said, Vanya said unexpectedly, and Ann Reves continued serious mouth.

"According to the information inquired by the History Office, Cork left there 10 minutes before our arrival and never came back. We think he may have received some wind and ran away early. Now it is estimated that It is no longer in the church area, and it seems to have taken a secret biography belonging to the library, and now the person has disappeared.”

An Leifusi said in a deep voice, while Vanya began to think in her heart.

"Deacon Kirk... I guess she has become Miss Dorothea's puppet... I hope she can follow the agreement and come back after reading the secret biography of the church..."

Vanya was thinking like this, and at this moment An Leifus spoke again.

"Koke's disappearance is quite possible, Sister Vanya, think about it carefully, have you ever disclosed information about Kok's problem to others?"

"Uh... Well, Your Excellency the Investigator, after I discovered that there might be something wrong with Deacon Kok, I have been very scared, and I dare not tell anyone at all, until today I saw Kok trying to use our joint letter to enter the library. It caused bad things, so I made up my mind to report it, and I didn’t tell anyone about it.”

As Vanya said, after listening to Vanya's words, Ann Revers' expression became more serious, since Vanya, as the whistleblower, did not tell anyone about Cork ... So how exactly did Cork get wind of it and escape in advance?

This kind of question lingered in An Leifusi's mind. In his mind, there were three possibilities. One was that Kirk's original plan was to escape after stealing the books from the library, and Kirk's disappearance was just that he was acting according to the original plan.The second possibility is that Cork has some extraordinary item that can foresee the crisis. He ran away relying on the early warning of the item, but the possibility of this situation is not high. When it comes to "Lamp" and "Enlightenment", they are very precious, not something he, a middle-level deacon with only black ranks, can have.

As for the third possibility, it is very serious. It is very likely that Kirk ran away after being tipped off by others, but according to Vanya's description, she only went to the referee when she made a report, that is to say The news could only come from the referee.

If this is the case, this matter is very serious. There is a heresy in the Inquisition. If this kind of problem really happens, it will be reported to Shenglinshan, and a large number of people will be involved when it is dealt with.

'It seems that an internal review will be required later...'

An Leifus murmured in his heart with a serious expression, and then he looked at Vanya again with sharper eyes, and continued to speak.

"Your report cleared the church of potential heresy, which is your credit, Sister Vanya, but before officially confirming your credit, there are some things that need to be confirmed with you.

"All the members of the History and Classics Office were slightly polluted by the knowledge of poison because of the hands and feet of the instrument, but why were you the only one who was not affected by the poison, but also noticed the existence of the poison, and even realized the weirdness of Coke... Can you explain these things?"

An Leifusi said seriously, listening to his words, Vanya swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then opened her mouth with some embarrassment.

"Um... This may actually have something to do with my personal habits. When we are working, people in the History and Classics Department will pray after studying the secret biography for a period of time to eliminate the influence of poison knowledge.

"And I often feel a little tired when studying. I want to be grateful to the Virgin Mary more than studying. Therefore, compared to others, I sometimes spend a little more time in prayer and occasionally a little less time in study... ...So at the end of the day, I may be a little less affected by drug awareness than others..."

Scratching her head, Vanya seemed to be a little embarrassed and said with a smile. After listening to Vanya's words, An Leifus raised her lips slightly, and said with a chuckle in her heart.

'To put it so euphemistically, it actually means that I am too lazy at work. By praying more to be lazy, so the impact of drug awareness is much smaller, which is a bit interesting.

'However, this nun prefers to pray rather than study secret biography, which also proves her piety from the side. '

An Leifusi thought this in his heart, and at this time Vanya was also talking.

"Because of my habit, I may be less exposed to drug knowledge than others. When I was eating in the cafeteria with my colleagues at night, we talked about the secret biography that I studied at work, and I felt There was something wrong with her conversation, so she realized that she might have been contaminated by poison...

"After that, I found a few colleagues and found that they were all in the same situation, so I felt that there was something wrong with our equipment, and the ability to resist poison recognition was weakened, but the problem is that our equipment was only collectively inspected yesterday. It has been passed, so the fault of the instrument is likely to be caused by the maintenance.

Chapter 260 Text

"From here on, I realized that someone might have tampered with the instrument, and there were people in the church who plotted against the law, but I was not sure, so I didn't spread it all the time. I just strengthened my prayers and studied secrets in the following time. I also pretended to be studying when I passed it on, and I kept my eyes closed when I looked at the instruments... Knowing that Deacon Kok behaved too abnormally this morning because of the joint letter, that's why I began to doubt him..."

After Vanya finished speaking, she fell silent with anxiety. After listening to her words, An Leifusi thought for a while in silence before speaking.

"Sister Vanya, I have sent someone to investigate your background and recent situation, and found that there is nothing wrong with it. Combined with the fact that you reported the situation, and the inspection against you did not find any problems, your words are convincing enough force.

"Observe meticulously, stay calm, be devout and firm... I am glad that the Lord has such an excellent servant like you, and I am glad that you are one of us."

An Leifusi said seriously, and Vanya immediately responded humbly.

"Where is there, as a servant of the Lord, I am far from good enough, I still have a lot to do..."

"You don't need to be humble in this matter. I told Sister Vanya before that your report this time has cleared up hidden dangers for the church. The church will not be stingy with rewarding devout believers who have made merit... Sister Anlei, I've finished my question, it's your turn."

As he spoke, An Leifus looked at the old nun who had stood silently aside for a long time, and she said to Vanya with a smile.

"Sister Vanya, the archbishop has already known about you, and as a reward, the archbishop has granted you a promotion to a mid-level deacon."

'Promoted...'

Hearing the words of the old nun, Fanya blinked her eyes in disbelief. She originally thought that this time she would be able to get away with it safely and everything would be fine if she didn't get discovered. Opportunity.

"No, thank you very much for the gift of the Archbishop. I will definitely continue to dedicate myself to the Lord in the future."

Vanya said thanks with her hands on her chest, while the old nun nodded and continued to answer.

"Well... I hope you can continue to work hard. By the way, since your teaching rank is going to be promoted to a middle-level deacon, then to match it, your extraordinary rank will also be promoted to a black earth rank. Now you need to choose from the path of the three saints. One is your promotion route, after you choose it, we will prepare corresponding rituals for you to help you accumulate the remaining spirituality."

"The Way of the Three Saints?" Listening to the old nun's words, Vanya asked with some doubts, while An Leifusi spoke at the side.

"Heh, stay in the history book, don't read books to be stupid. When you reach the black soil steps, extraordinary people need to choose auxiliary spirituality to confirm the future branch path. And the path of the three saints is the three branch paths that extraordinary people can choose for promotion in our church. "

An Leifusi explained that he knew very well that most of the Extraordinary people in the History Department are used to operate instruments and study secret biography, and it is extremely difficult to get promotion opportunities. Many people are apprentices Worked there for a lifetime, so many people don't know much about the extraordinary advancement mode within the church.

"Sister Vanya, to advance to the Black Soil Step, you need to select one of the three branches as the future promotion route by choosing the auxiliary spiritual method, and these three branches also coincidentally correspond to the Three Saints.

"If you choose 'Sabi' as the auxiliary spirit, then you have chosen the way of the Father. If you choose the 'stone' as the auxiliary spirit, you have chosen the way of the Son. If you choose the 'cup' as the To assist spirituality is to choose the way of Our Lady.

"Unless there are some special circumstances, we will all choose side paths based on our main beliefs. Then, Sister Vanya, can you tell me which of the three saints you mainly believe in?"

The old nun spoke in a calm tone, while Vanya spoke after being slightly startled.

"I have followed the teachings of Our Lady since I was a child."

……

Tivian North Church, No. 17, Green Shade Town.

At night, in the study room, Dorothy was sitting in front of her desk, seriously flipping through the secret biography she got from Kirk. A copy was originally stored in the church library, and Kirk tried his best to steal it. secret biography.

Dorothy looked at the words on the page with a frown. She struggled to read the secret biography in front of her. The reason was that the secret biography was not written in Pulitzer...at least not entirely.

The language used in this secret biography is very close to Pulitzer, but there are differences. Many words are extremely ancient. Dorothy can only see it when she reads ancient Pulitzer documents in the Guanda Library. These words, but this is not a pure ancient Puritic article, because it still uses another language in it. Dorothy has some impressions of this language, which is the imperial language.

In the poems of the Lord of Light, and in the message next to the statue of the mirror moon, Dorothy can see the imperial language, and at this time, there are many letters in the ancient secret biography in Dorothy's hand. , which is like a case of Old Pritic mixed with Imperial.

No, it cannot be said to be mixed, because the two languages ​​in the secret biography are not written separately. Here is a piece of ancient Prith, and there is a piece of imperial language. The two are completely mixed together. It's like the writer of esoteric biography writes it as a language.

Faced with this situation, while Dorothy was full of doubts, slight guesses emerged in her heart.

"Perhaps... this is a language."

Looking at a series of pinyin letters on the secret biography, Dorothy murmured that the identity between the ancient Puritic language and the imperial language in front of her meant that they seemed to be one language.

Or to be more precise, the Prith language evolved from the Imperial language, and this secret biography was written at a certain period in the middle of this evolution process, so it is said that there will be an ancient Prith language. A case where the alphabet and the imperial alphabet are mixed together.

"Pritish...was it evolved from the Imperial language? So...Pritish used to be the empire that the Imperial language refers to? The empire created by the King of Light?"

Suddenly, such an idea appeared in Dorothy's mind, but she didn't rush to confirm it. Instead, she took out another book from her desk and opened it.

There are also a bunch of pinyin letters in this book. Although it is not Puritic, there are many similarities between the letters used.

This book is a foreign book. It is a dictionary of Farano, a neighboring country located on the mainland with a narrow strip of water across the sea from Preet. Dorothy borrowed it from the library, thinking if she could learn some foreign languages ​​in exchange for New Dragon Roar.

Careful observation shows that both Farano and Pulitzer love phonetic writing. Although there are differences between the letters, there are many similarities, and there are even many similarities in vocabulary. They are obviously two languages ​​​​with a relationship.

And comparing the Farano language with the Imperial language in the secret biography, similarities can also be found... Even the different letters in the Prith and Farano languages ​​seem to have their prototypes in the Imperial language.

That is to say... If Prith is evolved from Imperial language, then Farano may also be evolved from Imperial language. Imperial language is the two modern major languages ​​of Pulit and Farano common ancestor of .

"This means... Guprit is not the empire, but a part of the empire... and Farano on the main continent was also a part of the empire..."

Dorothy murmured like this, and then she looked at the world map with three continents hanging on the side of the study, and she set her eyes on the main continent.

From the knowledge I recently acquired in the library and the news I read from the newspapers, it seems that all countries in the main continent have more or less similar phonetic characters, so could it be that the languages ​​​​of all these countries are controlled by the empire? Did language evolve?

Could it be that these entire continents were once under the rule of the Lord of Light and were the land of the empire he created?

Chapter 260 Analysis

At night, Dorothy sat at her desk, staring at the world map hanging on the wall, which gave a complete picture of the world.

This world mainly has three continents, among which the main continent located in the center of the map, also known as the Light Landing Continent, is where most of the modern countries in the world are located. Pritt is not far from the mainland. These are the main continental countries. The industrial revolution originated here, and it has the most advanced civilization.

In the mythology, the place where the Luminous Savior descended is the Holy Linshan, which is located in the center of the main continent. This is also the main battlefield for the Luminous Savior to fight against evil gods and save the world. The center of the church today.The entire continent is covered with mountains and rivers, criss-crossing rivers, and vast plains. Most areas have a livable climate. Only a part of the eastern part lacks precipitation, which is grassland and desert.

And located in the south of the main continent is the continent of Ufiga, also known as the southern continent, the hot sand continent.The northern part of the continent of Ufiga is a desert. It is said that a prosperous civilization once fell here, so there are a lot of ruins buried under the yellow sand.In the south is a dense rainforest, which contains many primitive countries and tribes.

There has been communication between Uphega Continent and the main continent since ancient times. They are connected by a small and narrow snake-like isthmus. .

In contrast, to the west of the main continent is a new continent that was only discovered in the last few decades, also known as the Western Continent or Starfall Continent, separated from the main continent by an ocean that is much wider than the Sea of ​​Conquest.

The New World, like Ufiga, is now being colonized and plundered by colonists from various countries on the main continent, and the secular regime above cannot resist the pace of the industrial powers of the main continent.

In addition, to the north of the main continent, there is actually a Northern Continent. However, this continent is located in the polar region and is covered by thick ice sheets all year round. It is called the Extreme Ice Continent. Not much, so the average person doesn't take it into account when talking about continents.

Dorothy stared at the map in front of her, and her gaze was fixed on the main continent, which can be said to be the largest in area. If her previous conjecture was correct, then the empire once created by the Lord of Light was exaggeratedly large, and one country ruled The largest continent in the world, how powerful it is, and even the languages ​​​​commonly used in the countries on the main continent today are all evolved from the differentiation of the imperial language. The imperial language may be the language of the countries on the main continent. The common ancestor created evolutionary differences due to regional differences.

Dorothy read some history books of Preet and other countries on the main continent in the library, and found that the history of these countries became more and more vague and hazy as they went up, and if they were traced back to the end, they would all be traced back to the salvation of the Radiance Cult Mythology, that is to say, all secular history books on the main continent started with the salvation myth of the savior of light, and the history of various countries began with the salvation myth, and then gradually changed from hazy to clear.

As for the history before the myth of salvation, there is no record in any secular history books, and the clue can only be found in the secret biography.The huge empire that once ruled the entire continent has no shadow in the history of each country.

For example, Dorothy once knew about the existence of the King of Light in the secret biography. According to the secret biography, it was the King of Light and his allies who expelled evil gods and demons, and finally he established the empire.

There are obvious differences between the secret history and the myth of the Radiance Cult, but the images of the King of Light and the Savior of Radiance overlap to a certain extent.

According to the mythology of the Radiance Cult, the savior is a god who descended from the sky because of his mercy to the world.In the secret history, the King of Light is an emperor who has gained power like a god, and he has transformed from a human into a god.

"It seems that the Cult of Radiance hides a lot of history..."

Looking at the pile of books on the desk, Dorothy murmured, it is obvious that the history of the current secular world is dominated by the Cult of Radiance, while the real history is estimated to have been hidden.

'Based on the information obtained so far, it is already certain that there was a huge empire on the former main continent. The myth of the savior of light may have some connection with the founder of the empire, the king of light, and the light religion may also Is the origin of the empire period.

'And the message next to the Mirror Moon Statue in the ruins below the school is in Imperial language, so this Mirror Moon Statue may also be built by the Radiance Cult during the Empire period, and the goddess symbolized by the Mirror Moon Statue is likely to be The heresy of the Brilliant Cult during the Empire...or, maybe it was the orthodox belief at that time, but it was abolished for unknown reasons, and the activity and collapse of the Star Shushu Society may also be a matter of the Empire. '

Thinking this way in her heart, Dorothy tried her best to summarize all the information she got for the purpose, trying to restore the real history of this world, but now she can only restore it to this extent at most.

After finishing thinking about the real history of this world, Dorothy turned her eyes back to the secret biography in front of her. Dorothy didn't know Imperial language very well, so it was very difficult to read.

Now Dorothy can only vaguely see that the secret biography at present is a secret biography that records the ritual of the Virgin Mary in the early days. Xi was taken aback.

This book records the secret biography of the ancient Radiance Sacred Virgin’s sacrifice ceremony, and records the prayers used in the ceremony and the process. In the records about the process of the ceremony, the vocabulary of blood sacrifice appears relatively frequently. In the column of sacrifices, Dorothy could barely identify that most of the sacrifices were cattle and sheep, and she did not see anyone, but she was really surprised because the current Radiance Cult does not even conduct blood sacrifices of livestock. of.

And after struggling to identify some of the above words, Dorothy discovered that in this secret biography there was a time when the Virgin was called a mother directly, and this situation would not happen now, the original Dorothy Xi also believed in the Virgin Mary since she was a child, and knew the various titles to pay attention to when praying to the Virgin Mary.

"It seems that there is a big difference between the former Radiance Sect and the current Radiance Sect..."

Looking at the secret biography in front of her, Dorothy murmured that due to language problems, she was able to interpret very little of the secret biography. If she wanted to fully understand it, she would at least need to master the Imperial language completely.

'But I promised Vanya that I would return the book to the church after reading it. It looks like I can't read it all at once, so I can only write it down in one breath, and then I will read it slowly after I learn the Imperial language. . '

Dorothy thought in her heart that since Vanya didn't want the church's property to be damaged, Dorothy promised to return the secret biography after reading it, but fortunately, Dorothy's ability as a polymath was enough for her Forcibly memorized the images of every page of this secret biography, so it doesn't matter even if it is returned.

"Tomorrow, please ask Beverly to send this secret transmission to the church. After learning the imperial language, I will fully interpret it. Right now, I can also extract a wave of spirituality here." '

Thinking about it, Dorothy extracted the spirituality of the part of the secret biography that had been interpreted, and obtained 2 points of "cup", 2 points of "lamp" and 1 point of "enlightenment", which was more spiritual than she imagined. Much more.

'This secret biography of the Holy Mother's Sacrifice has a lot of spirituality, 2 cups, 2 lamps and 1 enlightenment... Other secret biography of three or four hundred pounds a book, the whole book has almost only this spirituality, this one only extracts There are so many after just a small part, and there will definitely be more if they are fully extracted later. This secret biography has a lot of spirituality in general.

'And it is also worth noting that among the three saints, the connection between the Virgin and the 'cup'... According to the content of this secret biography, it seems that there did exist blood sacrifices in the early worship of the Virgin, and the Virgin and motherhood There is also a great connection between flesh and blood and motherhood... such a combination has to make people think of the mother of cups. As long as the "cup" spirituality is involved, will such characteristics inevitably appear? '

Dorothy thought about it like this, but in the end she didn't think about it deeply, she just breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the darkening night outside the window.

"Huh... Forget it, anyway, there is too little information now, and I don't want to have more, so hurry up and take a shower and sleep."

While muttering, Dorothy put away the things on the table, stretched herself, and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

After she took a comfortable bath, put on her white pajamas and lay down on the bed, she began to meditate again.

'So...do you want to go to the dream world tonight?Every time I go there, I don’t gain anything at all, so why don’t I go…’

Lying on her own big bed, Dorothy thought so. When she was sleeping at night, she would use mimicry to enter the dream world when she had nothing to do, and then wandered around like trying her luck to see if she could gain something. , but it is a pity that they return empty-handed every time.

"Inexplicably, there is no night in the empty woodland. Every time the time runs out, I return in vain, making wool..."

Dorothy complained in her heart that what she saw in "Dream Explorer" should be very lively in the dream world. There are many dream world creatures, and they may carry ancient memories. However, since Dorothy entered the dream world, she has never seen any of them. This made her so angry that she didn't want to go to the dream world recently.

'Forget it, try your luck for a few more days, if you really can't find anything, then just go and have a look every few days, and get a little more sleep every day. '

Thinking so, Dorothy closed her eyes and fell asleep.
