Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

The search officer said to Joad like a reminder, and Joad replied immediately.

"Ah... You are wrong, we naturally all remember the holy scriptures, and did not regard the dragon as the main apostle. This is just a feeling after the rest of our lives..."

Joad explained this to the investigator, and after the investigator heard his words, the look of guard in his eyes did not weaken much, and he continued to speak in a stern tone.

"Is it just emotion... um... I see. I appreciate your explanation, Your Excellency Joad. I have already understood the general situation last night. Regarding the strange dream moth and dream dragon, I It will be reported immediately.

"The incident in Navaha is very serious. We need to send more manpower to conduct a more detailed investigation. For the next period of time, please, Your Excellency Joad, you and the other three fighters who participated in last night's battle stay in Navaha for the time being." Waha for a while, cooperate with our investigation."

The investigator said to Joad in the mirror like this, it seems that Joad's words just touched a little of his keen nerves as an investigator, and there was a hint of guard in his eyes looking at Joad, and Joad was slightly startled after hearing his words, and then continued to speak.

"The four of us... are still here? No, sir, we also have escort missions. Devout believers need to go to the Holy Land of the Holy Mother. Our mission is to escort them. We are here just to wait for you to take over the Sea Abyss Sect By the way, the case has been rested... The waiting time has been long enough, and according to the schedule, we can't wait any longer."

Joad said to the investigator like this, indicating that several people on his side had a mission and could not stay to cooperate with their investigation, but the investigator did not take Jord's words seriously.

"Unfortunately, this Extraordinary incident is very serious. You are the most core participants. Without you, it may be difficult to carry out the investigation...We need you to stay here..."

The searcher said to Joad sternly, listening to the searcher's words, Joad frowned deeply for a moment.

"But, our task..."

"Your mission can continue. All we want is for the four of you who participated in the battle to stay, and the rest of you can still continue the pilgrimage. This fleet is so big, it can still sail without four people... ..”

The investigator said to Joad, but Joad continued to speak helplessly.

"That's right, the fleet can still set sail without us, but our entire convoy consists of only four white ranks. If we are not there, the risk of the fleet's sailing will increase a lot..."

"You don't need to worry too much about this, the distance from here to Ivig is not too far away, and the waterways are very safe, even ships without Extraordinary people can sail safely, let alone fleets.

"Besides, I see that the four of you have obvious sequelae after the battle with the monster, and your mental state is very bad. If you go to command in this state, you may be more likely to do bad things, so you stay now to cooperate with our investigation and cultivate yourself. It is the best choice, the fleet will appoint experienced officers to sail to Iviga...I will report to the higher authorities and explain your situation clearly, this is a special situation, and you will not be held responsible."

The investigator said seriously to Joad, after listening to his words, Joad seriously thought that his current mental state was really not suitable for commanding, and after sighing, he said to the investigator.

"Well, we stay, and the fleet sails on."

......

In Navaja in the afternoon, in a house full of dust and cobwebs, a skinny young man with a trance-like expression and thin clothes was walking in the house, looking at the surrounding scene with a blank expression.

This young man is a painter who lives alone. He was sent to a mental hospital a year ago because of insomnia. This morning, Yoyo woke up and found himself lying on the street of Navaha.

Looking for vague memories, the young man returned to the home he hadn't returned for a year, stepped on the creaking floor, and looked around at the dilapidated furniture and many dusty paintings.

As he walked, the young man came to a locked door. After he found the hidden key in the vase, he opened the rusty door lock. After entering the door, he walked up to the upward stairs. He went straight to a hidden attic.

When he walked into the attic, what caught his eyes was rows and rows of hanging paintings, and the paintings on these paintings were all grotesque moths of various shapes.

These paintings range from abstract ones to detailed ones, some fine ones, and some scribbled ones, but the objects in the paintings are all moths. These are all the works of young people during the moth worship period, and they are creations after he received enlightenment.

The young man walked slowly to the end of the attic, where there was a large easel, and on the easel board, there was an unfinished painting of moths. After looking at this painting for a few times, the young man seemed to want to continue writing It was finished, but he couldn't do it for a long time. After a short pause, he stretched out his hand and tore off the painting, and then replaced it with a new drawing paper.

Then, the young man started his own creation. Since the paint on the side had already dried up, he directly picked up the pencil and quickly drew on the drawing paper. He had just returned to his home. The first thing the young man did was to create a new painting on the side.

Under the control of the young man, the lines are constantly arranged on the huge drawing paper, sketched and formed. Under the enthusiasm of creation, the skinny young man seems to be tireless. With the passage of time, an image gradually Appeared on the drawing paper.

But this time the image on the drawing paper is completely different from the grotesque moths that fill the attic.

With fangs and sharp claws, huge wings stretched, dense scales, thorns and long horns, it is a mighty dragon that spreads its wings and wants to fly. Under the young man's exquisite skills, the dragon's irreversible and powerful posture is captured It is fully displayed, which is completely different from the grotesque and weird style of moths. The purest power, antiquity, and majesty are reflected on the drawing paper.

After finishing the painting, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, then dropped the pen, and sat down on the chair behind him, gasping for breath while staring at the drawing paper in front of him, staring at the dragon he had drawn on it , stunned.

Chapter 420 Reporting

Under the clear sky is the endless sea, in the sky there are seabirds flying freely, under the blowing of the sea breeze, sparkling waves appear on the sea surface.

On the huge sea surface, there is a white passenger ship moving forward slowly, the wake behind the ship is dragging for a long time.

This is a passenger ship that has just sailed from Navaja. At this time, Dorothy is sitting in the first-class cabin of this passenger ship, sometimes looking at the clean and tidy cabin she is in, and sometimes looking at the vast expanse outside the porthole. the sea.

'The environment is okay...Although it is much worse than the cabins on cruise ships like the Shining White Pearl, but at least it is clean, and at least it is not uncomfortable to live in...'

Sitting on the fixed seat by the porthole, Dorothy commented on the environment of her journey in her heart. Although it is much smaller and simpler than the luxurious cabin of the Shining White Pearl, it is not Unacceptable. After all, this is already the best cabin on this passenger ship. There are two other grades of cabins, one is a multi-person room that squeezes four people, and the other is a Datong bunk that squeezes more than a dozen people. It is already possible to have a single room It is thank goodness.

"Although the cabin is not good... But I still miss the luxury cabin on the Shining White Pearl, it's really comfortable to live in..."

Sitting on the chair, Dorothy looked at the surrounding environment and thought with some nostalgia that the Shining White Pearl was the most comfortable vehicle she had ever taken. Everything was fine except for a large number of cultists on board. Unfortunately, Now it has been blown up by her own hands.

"If there is a chance in the future... let's make a special trip to find a luxury cruise ship to travel there~ Do a lot of research before going to make sure there are no messy things on it."

Standing up from the chair, Dorothy lay back on the bed and thought about it, and then she began to think about the form of Navaja and her current plan.

'Anyway, I finally came out of Navaha Navaha before the church started a large-scale search. I thought it would take a day or two for people from the church to come after this happened, but I didn't expect to arrive on the same day …

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they were the people who were called to deal with the matters of the Haiyuan Sect before, but they ran into Hei Meng's troubles again. With all these messy things piled up, those guys are probably busy." .'

Dorothy was thinking like this, she was used to getting into a lot of troubles for the local official Extraordinary organization after arriving in a place.

'But then again, why did those guys from the Black Dream Hunting Group choose to hatch the chrysalis on that day? Then a bunch of church ships and Extraordinary people gathered at the port, and hatching means going to war directly. Can't they change the time and wait for the church people to leave before they become immortals? Why are they in such a hurry and have to have such a hard knock on the church people? It's because after the church's investigation failed, they decided that they had been exposed. Do you want to give it a go? Then the strategic focus is a bit weak.'

Lying on the bed, Dorothy thought a little puzzled. She was still a little confused about the fact that the Black Dreamhunters had suddenly emerged moths, but she soon stopped thinking about it. Instead, turn your mind to your current goal.

'The city I'm going to now is called Telua. According to the information collected by Navaha, this city is the largest city in the southern region of Castile. Ha is much bigger, and it is the closest big city to Navaha. A city of this size should have a branch of the White Stonemasons Union...

'Now the study tour group on Neveu's side has also finished their visit in Navaja, and it is estimated that they will take a boat to Troyes tomorrow, and transfer from there to the fleet on the side of Iviga. We are about to set sail, and if we do this, we will finally be able to reach our destination in a few days, it will not be easy...'

Thinking about Neveu and Vanya's current itinerary, Dorothy thought in her heart that if it had been according to the original plan, they would have already been in Iviga by now, instead of still going around here.

But fortunately, everyone is finally starting their journey again. At this time, Dorothy hopes in her heart that her journey will be smooth sailing, at least there will be fewer things.

......

Conquer the North Shore of the Sea, Navaja.

The southern port area of ​​Navaja is currently busy. After a few days of docking, the Church Fleet at the port is preparing to set sail and begin its pilgrimage to Iviga again.

"It's finally time to start again... It was only a short stop at first, and I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen."

Sitting in her own cabin, the white nun Vanya looked at the busy scene outside the window and couldn't help muttering that Dorothy had already told the brief truth about the strangeness of the city this morning and the specific reason for last night's change. to her.

'I really didn't expect...In such an ordinary small town, there is such a dangerous cult association hidden...Manipulating dreams, sucking dream cocoons, cultivating monsters, and torturing the spirit... ..No matter how you look at it, the degree of harm of this association is no lower than that of the Wolf Blood Society...

"If I didn't have Aka's shelter, and Miss Dorothea was nearby to help me, I would have been killed by these cultists at the church the night before...Although I was never forced I believe, but Akka saved me again...'

Putting her hand on her chest, Vanya thought of this, this is not the first time she has received the grace of God, as a nun, she has been directly protected by the gods over and over again, which makes her often feel While having a strong sense of unreality, the reverence for A-Ka has also risen to a higher level.

'No! This time it's not just me, but also the innocents of the entire Navaja...Although Akka and his mortal servants have never preached any teachings to help the world, their actions Often it's an act of salvation, and sometimes it feels like it's doing better than the church, and this time it even saved a city...'

Looking out of the window at the city that is about to leave, looking at the people who are working on the pier, Vanya has a lot of feelings in her heart.

At the beginning, Vanya was very frightened about being inspired by and sheltered by the Ability God, fearing that when she was exposed, it would lead to serious consequences. But now she has no such fear at all. In the bottom of my heart, I was even more thankful that I was able to contact A-Ka and was able to save many people directly or indirectly under His guidance. This was something she could not do as an ordinary Bible reader before. .

'According to Miss Dorothea, the change last night was caused by the monster in the dream created by the dream association, and that monster was finally defeated in the dream by the apostle of Akka.

"Did Miss Dorothea actually have the ability to communicate with the apostles of the gods at such a young age? It seems that her status among Aka's servants is not ordinary. I really want to know who the apostles of Aka are." what kind of...'

Vanya thought in her heart longingly, and at this moment, her eyes looking out of the porthole suddenly captured an unusual scene.

Vanya saw several figures walking away from the port on the busy pier that was preparing to set sail. One of the figures she knew was Joad, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet.

Chapter 420 Reporting

"That's...Your Excellency Joad, he is in a bad mood. Now the fleet is about to set sail. What is he going to do when he disembarks and walks into the city? Is he going to something?

"And those people around Mr. Joad...that suit is a heresy investigator?! Is this someone from the Castile Tribunal? Where are they going to send Mr. Joad? This fleet It's clearly about to set sail..."

Looking at the scene on the shore, Vanya couldn't help murmuring in confusion, but what she didn't know was that there were more than one pair of eyes observing the scene on the shore at this time.

......

Navaha, there is a high-rise hotel not too far from the port, in the guest room on the top floor of the hotel, there are two figures standing in it at this time, they are two men of different ages.

One of the younger young men stood by the window, he opened a gap in the curtain, and then peeked into the distance through the gap, the direction he saw was the port where the fleet was about to set sail.

The other man is a middle-aged man with a beard. At this time, he is sitting behind a table in the house, with a pile of documents in front of him. The man is focusing on Organize these files.

"Those magic sticks are really leaving, and they are about to set sail now, but a new batch of magic sticks suddenly appeared at the port, and their clothes look like people from the court!"

The young man standing by the window spoke while looking into the distance with superhuman eyesight, and after hearing his words, the middle-aged man who was sorting out the documents in the room gave a pause, then turned his head to look at the young man and spoke.

"Is it actually those lunatics from the referee? Then things will be troublesome... These guys are much more difficult to deal with than the Knights. It will be very difficult to find out what they are. Big......

"But from another point of view... Costa and the others are basically sure that they have been carried by these magic sticks. Otherwise, the people from the referee will not appear here. They should be here. To take over the case..."

The middle-aged man frowned after putting down the things in his hands and said, obviously, both of them are members of the Haiyuan Sect, and the reason for coming to Navaha is to confirm the relationship between Costa and the others who have lost contact with Deep Blue Heart. intelligence.

"Looking at it now, Costa and the others should be in danger. Either they were caught by the magic stick or they disappeared. It is more appropriate for us to let Bailei Island directly prepare for the soul call."

The man by the window spoke in a stern tone, while the middle-aged man on the other side replied coldly.

"Calling the soul? That's too far away. If Costa and the others died here, setting up a ceremony on Bailei Island would not be able to recruit them. If Costa and the others really died, we don't know how long they died. If it’s been a long time, no matter how close you are, you won’t be able to get back.”

The middle-aged man said out loud that calling souls is also a very important ability in the hidden world. Large-scale Beyonder organizations will hire some "Ji" Beyonders to specialize in summoning souls, but the ranks of these "Ji" Beyonders are usually Not very high, usually only at the level of apprentices or black soil.

For associations that do not major in "Sabi", the ability to summon souls is very limited and subject to many restrictions, distance is one of them. After all, the essence of the soul-calling ceremony is to use a medium to call the dead soul, and let it float to the ceremony The distance between the soul and the ceremony must be considered. The soul-calling cannot directly summon the spirit into the ceremony regardless of the distance like the psychic.

This is why the Haiyuan Sect cannot use the soul-calling ability to confirm the death of Costa and others, because the main stronghold of the Haiyuan Sect is on an island in the vast sea, and the stronghold with the soul-calling ability is too far away from Navaha. That's why they sent the neighborhood of Navaha here to investigate directly, but the result of the investigation was very bad.

"Then what should we do now? Now that the lunatics from the referee have arrived, it will be very risky to continue the investigation, or should we stop our investigation and report to the higher authorities first?"

With a stern expression, the young man opened his mouth and said, it was obvious from his expression that he didn't want to deal with the people of the referee, but the middle-aged man on the other side answered with a cold snort.

"Report? What do we get in return? First, we didn't find out the status of Costa and the others. Second, we didn't find out the whereabouts of Deep Blue Heart. How can we report this result?"

"Then what can we do?! Now that the referee has arrived, we can't...huh?"

When the young man was about to say something to the middle-aged man, suddenly he looked into the distance as if he saw something, he frowned and rubbed his eyes, then looked carefully again, this phenomenon It aroused the curiosity of the middle-aged man.

"What's wrong? Did you see anything?"

"Hmm... Strange, the fleet of the Glowing Gods is clearly about to set sail, but the captain has come down, and there are some other officers... What is this going to do?"

The young man said this, his words aroused the curiosity of the middle-aged man, so the middle-aged man also stood up, walked to another window, opened the curtain and looked towards the direction of the port, after a while He also saw the phenomenon that the young man just mentioned.

"That's Joad Schneider, isn't he the commander of this escort fleet? The fleet is about to set sail, why did he leave instead, and there are other captains and Joad's adjutants, it looks like they are He was hijacked and left by the lunatics of the referee..."

Looking at the scene in the distance, the middle-aged man said with a frown. As a spy of the Sea Abyss Sect, he knew many captains who often appeared in this sea area, and Joad was one of them. His fleet often through this sea.

"Jode? So he is the commander, but why didn't the commander keep up with the fleet when it set sail? He looks like he was escorted ashore by a lunatic from the court."

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, the young man said in confusion, and the middle-aged man spoke slowly after pondering for a while.

"Well... I think, this may have something to do with the change that happened last night. It should be what Joad and the others did last night, which caused them to be targeted by the referee. People are often more ruthless..."

"What happened last night? Tsk...I couldn't sleep at all last night, and I don't know what happened?" the young man said while rubbing his temples, while the middle-aged man answered calmly.

"I don't know, but something must have happened, otherwise there wouldn't be such a large-scale anomaly this morning. The city of Navaha may hide some secrets that we don't know...

"In short, the current situation seems to be more complicated. Judging from what it looks like now, Joad and even the high-level executives on his fleet are distrusted by the people of the referee for some reason. The people of the referee used their power to detain them. Now this A pilgrimage fleet may be about to set sail again without Jord and the others."

The middle-aged man murmured, and while he was talking, there was a slight gleam in his eyes.

"It seems that our report can have some slightly substantial content."

Chapter 420 Three Sea Fog

Under the dark night, there is an endless vast sea. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the sound of the waves slaps, the starry sky in the sky is covered by thick clouds, and it is almost dark when you look around.

On the dark sea surface, there are several light spots that are moving forward in line with each other at a long distance. If you look carefully, you can find that they are the lights of several ships, a ship that is not too small. The team is sailing on the dark sea.

This is the escort fleet of the church to escort the pilgrims. After leaving Navaja, the fleet sailed day and night towards the original target Iviga. Now it is the second time that the fleet left Navaja It was night, and they were not too far away from their destination.

The central part of the fleet is escorted by three ordinary passenger ships, which carry pilgrims going to the Holy Land of the Virgin. The believers of the Virgin Mary from the folk, either because of their pious beliefs, or because of generous donations, or because of their noble character, they were rewarded by the local church with the honorary qualifications to come to the pilgrimage through official channels, almost all of them The representative of the faith of Our Lady among the people.

Of course, in addition to these folk believers, there is also a small part of the pilgrims who are the church's own clergy. They are often allowed to participate in this pilgrimage because of their own applications or rewards from their superiors, and Vanya is one of them.

In the cabin of the passenger ship, Vanya was praying piously as before. After the daily prayers, she opened her eyes and looked at the time on the wall.

"Is it already this time? It's getting late..."

After checking the time, Vanya got up slowly and yawned, then turned her head to look at the endless black sea outside the porthole, and looked at the stars and bright moon in the sky that were often obscured by dark clouds.

"The sky is so dark... You can hardly see anything here. I have read the scene of fish jumping under the moonlight in the book. I thought I could meet it once in such a long boat. As a result, the recent weather is not very good most of the time...'

Vanya thought about it in her heart with a little disappointment, and then she stretched her waist, looked at the pile of books and a small map on the table beside her, and focused her eyes on the map for inspection. After a few glances, I tried to confirm my position on it.

'From Navaja, we have been sailing at sea for a while now. According to the crew, we will arrive at Iviga in a short time. Although His Excellency Joad and the others are not on board, the entire fleet is on board Normal operation, everyone is performing their duties, and there is nothing wrong. My initial worries seem to be unnecessary.'

Fanya thought in her heart that she had to be a little worried when she saw that Joad and others had to leave the fleet because of the search officer. Now that the fleet can still operate normally even without the commander, Nothing went wrong, and her original worry gradually disappeared.

"I hope Lord Joad and the others will be safe in the end. May the Lord bless them."

After the last muttering, Vanya tidied up her books on the table, then went to the bathroom of the cabin to wash up briefly, took off her nun clothes and put on her pajamas, and finally turned off the books on the table. After turning on the light, he lay down on his bed and covered himself with a quilt.

Finally, amidst the slight shaking and the gentle sound of the waves, Vanya gradually fell asleep peacefully.
