Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"As far as I know, the people who came from the church this time were military troops like the Knights of the Holy Order, not the search officers of the court. Their task was to escort and they really had a special passenger ship. If they came here specially If we investigate, then it shouldn't be this kind of battle, so I don't think they are coming for us. Although the port yesterday afternoon was a bit hidden, they might really have some secret affairs there, but I think it has nothing to do with us It doesn't matter much."

Standing in front of Garcia, the man named Gomez expressed his opinion. Unlike the suspicious Garcia, he believed that the sudden arrival of the church had nothing to do with him. The noise that occurred might just be some kind of accident.

"You are too rash Gomez. In any case, since the church's operation to Navaja this time involves secrecy, we must not take it lightly. Although the investigators are not here, we cannot think that they have completely treated us. Didn't notice, what if this is a cover?

"I got news earlier that people from the church lined up people to search the coastline and the city this morning and afternoon, as if they were looking for something... The behavior of this group of glow sticks is getting worse and worse. Doubtful, before falling into a passive position, we must make some preparations to protect the 'chrysalis' in the worst case."

With a serious expression, Garcia said to Gomez, her tone revealed her dissatisfaction with Gomez's rash attitude just now, and Gomez heard Garcia say that the church has opened up during the day. After carrying out the actual search operation, the brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.

"Are they really looking for something? Um... From this point of view, we have to pay more attention to it, but Ms. Garcia, I don't think it's time to make that kind of preparation for the time being, at least. ...At least we don't need to make any big moves until we are clear about the threat these glowing sticks pose to us."

Gomez continued to talk to Garcia, after hearing Gomez's words, Garcia glanced at him and then spoke slowly.

"So, what's your plan, Gomez."

"Ma'am, what I mean is, we can send someone to dream about those glow sticks, and find out from the dream what their real intentions are when they come to Navaha. If these guys are really coming for us, We can start to deal with it immediately, and if their goals are not ours, we don't have to waste energy.

"Now the power of 'chrysalis' has grown enough to support our ability to use dream traps. In dreams, no one will lie, and with the nature of dreams, even the group of magic sticks will find it difficult to find traces."

Gomez told Garcia his plan like this, after listening to Gomez's words, Garcia thought for a while, and then spoke again.

"What you said...does make sense, but there is a problem...to activate the ability of dream trapping, you must be around the dreamed person. Now those magic sticks are nesting In the port, the security is very tight, and it is very difficult to get close to the past, how can we use the dream trap without being noticed?"

"This is actually very simple, ma'am, although the guards at the port are tight, those guys don't stay there all day long, and many of them will also wander around the city. We can take advantage of this time to attack."

Gomez continued to talk to Garcia, and Garcia responded immediately after hearing Gomez's words.

"I know they'll come out...but it's all during the daytime. During the daytime, there's no foundation for sleepiness. Dream trapping doesn't work very well. And at nighttime, they'll all be on the boat in the port again. "

"No, no, Ms. Garcia, they don't all go back to the ship at night. As far as I know, there is a place, even in the middle of the night, that will attract some gods to go there. A small part of them, Even staying there until late, this is our chance to do something."

With a slight smile, Gomez said so, and Garcia couldn't help but speak curiously after hearing his words.

"Where...are you talking about?"

......

Time flies, and soon, the faint light in the sky dimmed, and the night completely descended on Navaha.

After the dinner time passed, the small seaside town that didn't have many entertainment venues quickly fell silent, many residents fell asleep early, and the stars and lights all over the city gradually went out.

In the middle of the night, except for some handicraft factories on the outskirts of the city that are still working overtime overnight, the most popular place in Navaha is the church in Navaha.

Like other cities of this size, Navaja's city church is neither big nor luxurious, it is a simple and ordinary church, just enough for citizens to use.

In the middle of the night, somewhere close to the center of Navaha, the gate of the Navaha City Church is still wide open, all the lights in the entire church are turned on, and solemn religious songs played by special instruments are heard from the church , accompanied by devout prayers.

Even at this time in the middle of the night, this ordinary church is still performing its own role. In the past, the door of the church was usually closed at this point. The reason for this situation is that It is because the church fleet is docked at Navaha Harbor at this time.

This fleet is a pilgrimage fleet, and there are many enthusiastic believers with firm faith on board. These believers from all over the world carry out various religious activities in strict accordance with the rules every day, among which evening prayer is an important part. .

For these dedicated believers, prayers at various times of the day are absolutely important. Although the holy scriptures of the church do not clearly stipulate the place of prayer, but for the devout, if there is a church nearby that they can go to, then It is best to pray in church.

Therefore, since the fleet of the church docked at the port of Navaja, the port of Navaja has been flooded with pilgrims on the fleet. Opportunities for religious activities, and the city church in Navaja is also forced to extend the development time because of them, such as now.

In the church in the middle of the night, there are countless various pilgrims sitting in it, performing tonight's vespers. Among them are rich people in bright clothes, ascetics in ragged clothes, and even ordinary people. Priests and nuns, and Vanya was among them.

Staring at the Altar of the Three Holy Spirits in front of her, wearing a standard white nun's uniform representing the medical staff, Vanya is concentrating on today's evening prayer.

It was not early at this time, and the originally crowded church now had a lot of vacant seats. Because of her nature, she didn't like to fight, Vanya chose a late time to come here for evening prayer. During the time period, most of the pilgrims have returned to the boat, and the last group of people who remain in the church now, after they finish praying and go back, the church can also close.

Amidst the solemn music permeating the entire church, Vanya closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her body, prayed intently as before, and prayed devoutly to the Lord in her heart.

At this time, Fanya had already prayed for a while, and it seemed that because the night was too late, waves of drowsiness couldn't help rising from Fanya's heart, constantly lingering in her spirit , Under the influence of this drowsiness, Vanya, who was praying, couldn't help but find it difficult to concentrate.

Among the frequent nodding, Vanya couldn't help temporarily suspending her prayer, took off her glasses and yawned big, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

'Woo...he seems a little sleepy, is it too late now? Sure enough, the time for evening prayer should not be chosen too late, otherwise it will be easy to be sleepy and difficult to concentrate.

'But having said that... I used to have such late evening prayers before, but I wasn't too sleepy at the time... For prayers, it should be easy for me to concentrate That's right...'

Rubbing her eyes, Vanya thought in her mind with some perplexity that since she was a child, she liked to pray very much, and it was relatively rare for her to experience depression during prayer.

'Maybe it's because I was a little too tired when I filed the wounded yesterday, so I feel so sleepy now...In short, hurry up and finish the evening prayer, and go back to rest after finishing... '

"Although I'm a little sleepy, I have to cheer up and continue to pray. If the daily prayer is incomplete, it is disrespectful to the Lord..."

While thinking like this, Vanya continued to pull herself together, put the glasses back on, closed her eyes, hugged her hands, and continued to pray with a focused expression.

But this time, after Vanya's prayer lasted for a short time, a greater drowsiness hit her, and this time, Vanya failed to cheer up again, but unconsciously fell asleep in between.

In this way, on the pews of the church, during the pilgrim's evening prayer, Vanya lowered her head with her eyes closed, and her hands naturally drooped. Sitting on the chair, the even and soft breath indicates that she has entered the dreamland at this moment.

......

Vanya, who fell asleep, had a dream unconsciously.

At this time, Vanya was standing on the large square in the North Tivian Church District, surrounded by blurred figures coming and going, Vanya was in the most familiar scene, with a blank look on her face. Looking at everything in front of her, she didn't know what happened and what she was going to do.

Since Vanya did not use lucid dreaming to enter the dream, she did not realize that she was in a dream at this time, she was walking around in the square in the dream without any purpose, at this moment she wanted to do something, but don't know how to do it.

Just when Vanya was feeling lost in her dream world, suddenly, among the group of blurred figures coming and going, a shadow that was covered in black mist and couldn't see her figure slowly approached Fanya. When Nia came, he stopped in front of the dazed Vanya, and after showing some kind of smile, he spoke.

"Hello, lady nun."

"Um... hello... sir... who are you?"

Seeing the question from the shadow in front of her, Vanya in the dream spoke in confusion, while the shadow continued to answer with a smile.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are? Sister, I think your clothes are quite special. You should have a special position in the church, right? Can you tell me your position and name?"

"Ah...my name is Vanya Chaferon, I was originally a Bible reader at the Division of History and Classics in Tivian Division of the Archdiocese of Priet, and now I am a temporary healing nun at Grace Hospital. …”

Facing the black human figure in front of her eyes, Vanya in the dream answered bluntly with blank eyes, and listening to Vanya's words, the shadow nodded.

"She was originally a Bible reader, but now she is a healing nun? Sure enough, I read correctly. The person wearing her clothes should be a magic stick with a special position... If it is a medical staff, it may be responsible The fleet's healing mission... may also know what their purpose is..."

Thinking about Vanya's answer just now, Heiye murmured, and then he put his eyes back on Vanya, and then spoke.

"Then...Sister Vanya, I still have some questions to ask you, please cooperate with me..."

"certainly."

Listening to Sombra's words, Vanya nodded silently.

......

Late at night, on the third floor of a high-end hotel somewhere in Navaja.

Dorothy, who had just taken a bath, was trembling and putting on her clothes. Just as she was wiping her hair with a towel while sitting by the brazier warming up, suddenly her eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something. His expression changed, and the hand that was wiping his hair gradually slowed down.

"Huh? Vanya's prayer tonight...why did it stop suddenly? It was intermittent before it stopped. Did something happen?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Conquer the North Shore of the Sea, Navaja.

In the hotel late at night, Dorothy, who had just showered, was wearing pajamas and was wiping her hair beside the brazier. But just now, the soft voice of prayer that was lingering in her ears suddenly stopped intermittently. , This phenomenon made Dorothy frowned slightly, and a little bit of confusion rose in her heart.

As a clergyman who received religious education since childhood, Vanya has a very high belief self-discipline. As long as she is free, she will carry out daily worship rituals according to the tradition of the Radiance Church every day, among which morning prayer and evening prayer are very important. The important part is that Vanya will perform these two daily prayers on time, and the time of each day will not differ too much.

In the past, the object of Vanya’s prayers was naturally the Three Saints of Radiance. However, since she came into contact with Aka and was rescued by Aka’s revelation, her daily prayers have undergone some subtle changes. The deviation of the object, during the process of her prayer, the "lord" mentioned in her mouth is no longer the Three Saints of Radiance.

Every time Vanya prayed, although the content of the prayer was the same as before, the prayer was the same as before, but the object of praise in this prayer had changed to the "" who gave her real revelation and saved her life" Aka". This kind of change is very subtle, and even Vanya herself is not very aware of it. When she used to pray, she always specified the object of prayer to one of the three saints. , and now when she prays, she always uses "Lord"...this kind of more general title.

For Vanya's subconscious transformation, Dorothy understands more clearly than Vanya herself, because Akka is essentially herself and the system, and Dorothy can hear all of Vanya's prayers of.

For Vanya's more frequent prayers, Dorothy can actually set up a shield if she thinks it is noisy, but because Dorothy thinks it is too troublesome to turn on and off the shield every day, she does not set it, because she is afraid that if the shield is turned on and forgets Guan will block some important prayers from Vanya, such as in emergencies.

Besides, from Dorothy's point of view, Vanya's prayer voice was actually quite nice. Although the contents of the prayers were quite similar, Vanya's voice was quite good. I don't know if it was the influence of the music inside the church. When Nia poured her emotions into her prayers, her voice even seemed to be singing. Dorothy sounded pretty good, so she didn’t block Vanya’s prayers, but turned down her voice a little bit, and kept going every day. Can be reminded of the time by the sound of prayer.

Vanya's daily prayers are held in the morning and evening, and the time is about the same every day. In the past few months, Dorothy has become very familiar with it. arrive.

'Well... Vanya's prayers today... I kept praying... Why did it suddenly disappear? And there were intermittent situations before, and there was obvious sleepiness in the voice of prayer... ...was this falling asleep during prayer?

'It's the first time I saw Vanya sleeping during prayer...In the past, she was very focused when she was praying, but today she suddenly fell asleep...Because she was too tired recently the reason?'

Sitting next to the brazier, Dorothy put the towel in her hand beside her while thinking in her heart. She guessed that Vanya fell asleep in prayer because she was tired, but when she returned After thinking about it more carefully, she found that Vanya probably didn't have anything particularly busy recently.

'Vanya is currently on a pilgrimage. In a sense, she is traveling at public expense. She doesn't have any missions... When the Knights of the Holy Order fought against Costa at the port the day before yesterday, they didn't suffer much damage. Their own medical power It can be solved, and I didn’t ask Vanya for help...I didn’t assign any tasks to Vanya...In this case, will Vanya fall asleep in prayer because of exhaustion?'

Dorothy continued to think in her heart, although she was a little surprised by Vanya's behavior of suddenly falling asleep while praying, but it was not to the point of being suspicious, after all, it was already late at night, and she couldn't hold back when she felt sleepy Falling asleep suddenly is quite normal.

'However... It's still late winter and early spring, and the weather is still very cold. If Vanya sleeps like this, she may still be at risk of catching a cold. And if she is praying in a church or other public places, she should sleep like this It was not so good in the past, not to mention easy to be stolen, but it would be bad if someone took advantage of it with careless hands."

Dorothy was thinking like this, adhering to the idea that she should go to bed to sleep well, she was going to wake up Vanya who was already asleep, after all, it is really not good to sleep in public in such a cold weather.

Then, Dorothy slightly touched the puppet mark on Vanya's body, intending to wake up Vanya, but when she did so, Vanya was not awakened, and after repeated After a time or two, Dorothy noticed that something was wrong.

'Huh? Strange... Is this not waking up? Is Vanya's sleep so heavy?'

Feeling that something was wrong, Dorothy frowned slightly, and then she decided to use some other method to wake up Vanya. She used the puppet mark to control Vanya who was sleeping soundly, allowing her to open her eyes. After taking advantage of Vanya's vision to glance at the church she was in, she asked Vanya to raise a hand and pinched her face.

However, even so, Vanya still hasn't woken up, and Dorothy, who controls Vanya's body, can feel that Vanya's consciousness is still in a deep sleep. This phenomenon makes Dorothy's heart immediately alert Woke up, and at the same time thought of a phenomenon.

"This is... deep sleep?! Vanya actually fell into a deep sleep?"

Dorothy murmured in astonishment, Dorothy is no stranger to Vanya's current state, just a few months ago, Greg encountered this phenomenon on the train to Tivian, At that time, he was drugged by the people of the Nest of Eight Points, and fell into a deep sleep state, sleeping like a dead person, unable to wake up even if he wanted to, now Vanya looks similar to Greg's state at that time, the whole Everyone fell into an undisturbed lethargy.

Seeing Vanya's current state, Dorothy's complexion suddenly became more serious, because she knew that this kind of deep sleep that could not be awakened at all was not a normal sleep state, it was a state created with the participation of extraordinary factors. It is not easy to enter into deep sleep.

And now that Vanya has inexplicably entered this deep sleep state, she must have encountered something.

This is extraordinary interference!

"Why did Vanya suddenly fall into a deep sleep? Who is targeting her? The Nest of Eight Points? Could it be that they also want to replace Vanya like they replaced Greg? And use this to infiltrate the church?"

'No...no, if Nest of Eight Points wants to find a replacement, it must be done in a private environment like a train carriage, and now Vanya is in the church, surrounded by a bunch of people who are praying at night. There is no way to replace it on this occasion... this time it should not be the eight-pointed nest who is making trouble...

'But who is targeting Vanya, if not Bajian? And why are they putting Vanya in a deep sleep?'

Facing the situation in front of her, Dorothy thought solemnly in her heart that now she needs to figure out the specific situation of Vanya, and figure out who she provoked during the day? Why was she being targeted?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

'To clarify these questions...I need to ask Vanya directly, but she is now in a deep sleep and can't answer at all...Hiss...It's a little difficult to do. ...'

Scratching her head, Dorothy thought with some distress, but after a short thought, Dorothy had some ideas in her mind.

'Maybe... I can communicate with the sleeping Vanya through the dream like I helped Greg before... But the problem is that I don't know where Vanya's dream cocoon is in the dream world? Even if I know I don't have the Dream Anchor Seal to pass through, even if I can pass, if I want to enter someone else's dream cocoon, I still need to borrow the extraordinary ability of the dream diver, so I may not be able to find her little fox for a while.'

After seeing that Vanya could not be woken up, Dorothy wanted to communicate with her in the dream, but without the coordinates of the dream world and the dream anchor symbol, her dream mimicry could not get past her, so If you want to communicate in a dream, you need to think of other ways.

'By the way... When I was helping Greg before, I used the information channel to successfully send a message to Greg's dream, and I was able to receive the information in his dream. Maybe I can also use the information channel to check Fanny Ya's dreams and communicate with her.

"Just right, Vanya has been praying to me before falling asleep, I can directly use the information channel to get information from her side."

Thinking of this, Dorothy immediately started to move, she started to mobilize the information channel linked with Vanya, and use it to directly obtain the thought information of Vanya when she was asleep.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the information channel cannot directly forcibly obtain the information linked to the brain of a person in this way, but when Vanya prayed to Dorothy, there was always a "give yourself Dorothy thus gained the right to read Vanya's thoughts directly, because everything of hers naturally included her own thoughts.

Finally, after some small attempts, Dorothy successfully obtained Vanya's current thinking information through the information channel, saw the scene in her current dream, saw the church square in her dream, and saw Vanya talking to each other on the square and the shadow in front of her.

Dorothy frowned even more when she saw the black shadow.

......

"Sister Vanya, I want to ask you, who is the highest officer of your fleet?"

Standing on the square in the dream, the black shadow asked the confused Vanya, and Vanya answered directly.

"It's His Excellency Jord Bianchi, he is the commander-in-chief of our fleet."

"Bianchi? Sounds like an Ivig... Where did your fleet come from? Where is the destination? Why are you going there?"

"Our fleet set sail from Farajo, and the destination is Iviga...The purpose of our trip there is for a pilgrimage..."

The shadows with vague human nature asked Fanya various questions one by one, and Vanya answered each other one by one in confusion. Facing the shadows' questions, she almost knew all the answers, but in the hotel The old Dorothy was startled when she saw this scene.

'Someone... there was someone else in Vanya's dream? And this guy is still asking for information on Vanya...Is he the one who pulled Vanya into a deep sleep? '

Seeing the scene in Vanya's dream, Dorothy thought in surprise that she originally only wanted to get in touch with Vanya in her dream through the information channel, but then asked her who was targeting her, but she didn't expect That person actually entered Vanya's dream directly, and even asked Vanya for information through the dream!

The sudden change of the situation made Dorothy stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and realized the seriousness of the matter immediately.

'It seems that this guy has the ability to enter other people's dreams and obtain information in the dreams...It's very similar to the ability of the little fox dreamer. Now Vanya's deep sleep should be Based on this guy's ability, it seems that he wants to collect information about the church fleet from Vanya...

'Although I don't know why this guy wants this information? But the current situation is very bad for me. Now Vanya has been controlled by him in her dream, and she is in a state where everyone knows everything. If this continues If so, this guy might ask questions that involve me, and if Vanya answers truthfully at that time, I will be exposed!'

Dorothy thought with a serious face, although the shadow is mainly asking about the information about the church fleet, but since she and the church fleet have a great connection in secret, if the shadow asks the fleet to the end, how much will it be? Rosie herself would surely be confessed by Vanya.

It was precisely because of Dorothy Church that the fleet came to this small town, and it was precisely because of Dorothy Joad that they confronted Costa head-on. If the shadow was allowed to continue asking Vanya, Vanya will definitely tell about Dorothy's existence, which is what Dorothy is extremely unwilling to see!

'This guy seems to be investigating the reason why the church fleet came to Navaja. If he breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line, I'm afraid I will be exposed...

"No! If things go on like this, Vanya will definitely say everything she can't say! Although I don't know what faction this guy belongs to, but I absolutely can't let my information fall into his hands!"
