Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"understood."

Listening to Greg's words, Elena fixed her gaze on Edric, and with her concentration, orange circles of light formed around the edges of her pupils.

Just like that, Elena stared intently at Edric for a moment, then frowned slightly.

"No, I can't see it, I can't see any traces of spirituality, and I can't tell what kind of spirituality Extraordinary he is. He is either a "shadow" or has a "shadow" Extraordinary item on him, and his spirituality is not low. The current I can't see through..."

Elena spoke seriously, and Greg and Turner looked even more serious after listening to her words.

Elena's detection doesn't work, which proves that the opponent's anti-detection ability is very sufficient. With Elena's current spiritual reserve, she can't see through it at all. When the opponent's situation is completely unclear, all choices must be made. Be more cautious.

"Heh... Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm not your enemy. Put down all the guns that are aimed at me. If you accidentally fire it, you will be in trouble."

With a chuckle, Edric glanced around. Although it was just a seemingly normal look around, they all saw the sniper positions where the hunters were secretly aiming at him. This made the two who knew the arrangement of the hunters The captain couldn't help being slightly surprised.

That guy knows our defense situation, and he has a clear grasp of the current situation. How did he do it?

Thinking of this, the captains of the hunters couldn't help being startled, the atmosphere at the scene became more dignified, people knew me but I didn't, and the appearance of poor information made the hunters more cautious, and they all kept predicting the man's psychology in front of them. Turning it up made them even more afraid to act rashly.

For a while, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then Greg broke the silence.

"Those people in the study below...are you killing them?"

"It's just a simple cleaning, a little accident happened." Edric continued to respond, while Greg continued to question.

"Are you here specifically to attack the Holy Communion? You were also responsible for the Burton case last time? You sent the two calls from the Bureau?"

"That's right, are you satisfied with my information?" Edric spread his hand slightly, and said with a smile. Listening to his words, the three of them looked at each other, and then Greg continued to speak seriously.

"You...or are you using us as pawns?"

"The chess pieces are not enough, but we think that since Igwent has come, we should give due respect to the hidden rulers of Igwent. Those flowers are just a small reminder of good intentions. We think It is very rude to do things in Igwinter without notifying the owner here."

While talking, Edric stared at Greg, and then continued to speak.

"Please don't misjudge our goodwill, otherwise we will not be able to ensure who will pay the price of the misjudgment. Please believe that we have always been happy to cooperate with the authorities. This time, the flowers are not doing you a good job. A loss avoided? Mr. Messhouse..."

Edric's words were vague, and at first the three of them were confused, but the direct roll call at the end shocked Greg and the two people around him.

'He knows who we really are, and this organization knows far more than we think...'

Such thoughts emerged in the hearts of the three of them, which not only made their nerves collapse to the extreme, and the alert line was pulled to the highest level, but they also dared not do it directly.

"What is the purpose of your coming to Igwent?!" Greg continued to question with a sullen face, while Edric waved his hand in answer.

"Our purpose... Heh, it's actually not impossible to tell you, if you are not afraid of the risk of losing control on the spot..."

After Edric finished speaking lightly, the three of them and the hunters around couldn't help but startled, and then quickly explained the meaning of this sentence.

The purpose of this organization involves a huge secret, which contains taboo knowledge. Hearing him say that the purpose is equivalent to oral transmission of secret transmission. At their current level, if they listen to all of them, they may be strongly aware of poison. The infection is out of control, very dangerous!

The purpose of knowing poison is implied, what is this?All of a sudden, the hunting people were both fearful and curious, and of course they also had unbelief.

"Hmph...it's just a small Holy Communion, what a big secret." Turner bluntly said that although the Holy Communion did evil in Igwent, it was far from an ancient association with a strong influence. Imagine what great secrets could be hidden in the actions involving them.

Facing Turner's words, Edric continued to speak without any change in expression and tone.

"The iceberg is only floating on the tip of the iceberg, and the morning stars are only visible. The ship will never think that there are only small reefs on the water and move forward safely. If you only act on the surface, it will be bad. As the captain of the hunter, you should be more aware of this point. , Mr. Turner."

Listening to Edric's words, Turner was at a loss for words for a while. He was going to ask the other party to explain what the purpose was, but it would be bad if it was really a strong knowledge of drugs.

At this moment, although Edric didn't do anything at all, he had already put enough pressure on the hunter trio with words alone. Even Turner, who had a relatively reckless personality, did not act rashly at this time.

'The tip of the iceberg... does he mean... the water of the Crimson Communion is deeper than we thought before?There are more unknown deep-seated things involved in it? Thinking about Edric's words, Elena thought, and at this moment, Edric, who was looking at the silent scene in front of him, smiled for the last time, and then spoke.

"What you said just now is a warning... I'm here to wait for you to convey this warning. I should go now, and I will see you soon..."

While talking, Edric turned around, and seeing this situation, Greg hurriedly asked the last one.

"Hi! What's the name of your association?"

Listening to Greg's words, Edric's figure paused slightly, and then spoke slowly with his back to Greg and the others.

"You can call us...

"Rose Cross"

After finishing speaking, Edric jumped from the steeple in full view of everyone, jumped from a very high position to the bottom of the house, and disappeared from everyone's sight, and over there was the tumbling iron mud river.

……

On a certain river beach by the shore of Baihe River, in a hidden place with dense grass, there is a dry sewer pipe hidden. Accompanied by a sound that continuously radiates from the pipe mouth, a small hand finally pushes the pipe away. The rotting iron fence at the mouth.

Dorothy struggled to climb out of the dry sewer pipe, stood on the ground and patted the dust on her body, then took a long breath, and then looked at the Barker mansion standing in the distance.

"Phew... It's really tiring to talk riddles, I'd better get out of here..."

After finishing speaking, Dorothy picked up her suitcase and ran away from Barker's mansion, and Brandon who turned out behind followed.

Chapter 89 view

Through the secret passage in Buck's mansion, Dorothy finally escaped from a hidden beach in Baihebin, and then she used the corpse puppet ring to remotely wake up the man in the carriage parked in a hidden alley in Baihebin. Back up the corpse, let him drive the carriage to Buck's mansion, and finally pick up Dorothy and the corpse Brandon at the intersection of the beach.

Riding on the carriage, Dorothy immediately rushed to a river beach in the lower reaches of the Iron Mud River to recover the corpse doll Edric. After disposing of the corpse doll and the carriage, Dorothy boarded an ordinary The rented carriage drove towards home.

Finally, when the carriage stopped at the side of Nanyanghua Road, Dorothy got out of the carriage with two suitcases, and then entered the apartment building and climbed all the way up. By the time she reached the fifth floor, she was out of breath up.

'Huh...huh...Qi's Extraordinary doesn't add any physical strength. It's too bad. If there is no corpse puppet ring and dragon roar, then the frontal confrontation ability is simply extremely poor. '

After entering the house, Dorothy immediately ran into her room, locked the door completely, and then threw herself on the bed, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... It's finally over, I was almost scared to death at the end..."

Lying on the bed, Dorothy sighed to herself, the sudden arrival of the hunters at the end was indeed beyond her expectations, and it was the biggest variable in her plan at the moment, if it hadn't been for relying on Edric To lure them away and wait long enough to try the combination to open the door for myself, after that I really don't know what to do.

Edric was arranged by Dorothy in the attic before as a spare chess piece. When Turner smashed the door, she had no choice but to use Edric as a bait to transfer the trio who were studying the secret room upstairs Top, and then deal with them.

As for how to deal with it, it is naturally fooling, bluffing, and telling riddles.

As long as you confuse the other party in a fog, pretending to be tall, make the other party dare not act rashly, and buy yourself time, it will be considered a success.

Dorothy has an advantage in intelligence, through the detection of the corpse puppets, he can know the deployment of the hunters.In addition, Dorothy also gave Edric the Ring of Hidden Obstacles injected with "Shadow", allowing him to block the extraordinary detection of the hunters.In addition, Greg and the others believed that the murder in the study was done by Edric.

The suppression of the information gap is the basis for Dorothy to be able to solve the riddles, and the riddles that are devious enough to be devious enough to not speak human words are the key to shocking the hunters.

Using Edric to deal with the hunters made Dorothy feel how tired it is to be such a non-human riddler. After this time, Dorothy began to sincerely admire the characters in some works who can go from head to head. Riddles at the end of the whole process, things that can be explained clearly in two or three sentences have to go around for a long time, how tiring it is, and it takes half a catty of saliva.

As for the last moment, when Greg asked the name of the club he belonged to, Dorothy casually said one in order to deal with it. After all, if you want someone to set up a void target, you must have a name.

Of course, although the name was said casually, it was not fabricated out of thin air.

Rosary Cross, this name is a secret association that appeared in a work called "The Blood of the Holy Demon" in the long memory of Dorothy's previous life. , the full name is the Knights of the Rose Cross.It is said that the name itself also has important meanings in the mysticism of Dorothy's original world.

Greg asked the name of the association, and this was the first name that came to Dorothy's mind, so she used it directly. It's just a name anyway, it's not a big deal.

After lying on the bed for a while and almost rested, Dorothy stood up directly, then sat on the edge of her seat, and began to inspect the spoils this time.

First of all, Dorothy opened the boxes that were collected by Buck’s family, and then began to inspect them one by one. First, there were a few pieces of mortal jewelry that looked good. These can be exchanged for cash after the limelight passed. It is about 120 pounds in cash, plus Dorothy's original 215 pounds, and now Dorothy's cash is 335 pounds.

Then there are some sigils. Dorothy found 4 normal sigils and [-] strange sigils. They look similar to normal sigils, and they are all "cups". The seal, but the incantations drawn on it were several times denser, so that Dorothy couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

Is the strange "cup" seal related to Buck's sudden explosion at that time, and I will ask Aldrich later. '

Thinking like this, Dorothy put down the two complicated versions of the "cup" sigil in her hands, and then picked up the last one with a somewhat special sigil.

Dorothy did not find this sigil in the secret room, but in the study, by the wall where Buck was hit by Long Houhou before. It was obviously something that fell directly from his body.

Judging from the symbols above, this sigil is not a "cup", but two overlapping symbols are depicted on it. After identifying it, Dorothy found that it was the two symbols of "Shadow" and "Enlightenment".

'Heh... It's still a sigil of the dual domain, I don't know what it is for, and then I asked Aldrich one more question, if I remember correctly, the combination of 'shadow' and 'enlightenment' seems to mean dream? '

After thinking about it in her heart, Dorothy put away the special talisman in her hand, and then looked at the next loot, which were two secret books, one of which was "The Taste of Red" that she had read before. , is a secret biography of a novel carrier, suitable for corrupting others, and now Dorothy has a duplicate copy in her hand, and it will not be spiritual to read again, so she considers looking for a chance to sell it in the future.

Then, Dorothy looked at another secret biography, which was called "Praise of Cup Mother".

After flipping through it briefly, Dorothy found that this book was a collection of poems, mainly including hymns to a god.

This god has many names in the poem, named "Mother of Cups", "Blood Cup", "Mother of Ten Thousand Meats", "Goddess of Destiny"... She is a goddess purely in the realm of "Cups", It is said to be the god that best represents the attribute of "cup".

'Is this the god worshiped by the Crimson Communion?Since the Holy Communion is such a virtue, then there is a high possibility that this is also an evil god?But it doesn't have to be...'

While thinking this way, Dorothy glanced at the cover of "Praise for Cup Mother" again, and then continued to think.

'But it's a pity that this secret biography is actually the carrier of poetry. If it is exchanged for knowledge of other worlds, it will probably be a loss, and it can only be regarded as spiritual accumulation. '

Dorothy thought of this. She asked the system before that the redemption of foreign world knowledge is classified. What kind of local knowledge can be exchanged for what kind of foreign knowledge, such as language for language, appraisal for appraisal, so this That's why Dorothy didn't exchange "The Taste of Red", because Dorothy felt that the novel might not be very useful after exchange, and she tended to exchange for specific skills. Similarly, this "Praise of Cup Mother" is poetry, and when the time comes I don't know what poems to exchange for.

Now Dorothy's soul book is not much left, and she can only exchange it at most once before the next promotion, so she needs to carefully consider what knowledge to use for exchange.

Chapter 90 Fish

Sitting on the chair, Dorothy did not immediately read the "Praise for Cup Mother" but put it aside first, closed the suitcase on the table and put it down, then picked up another suitcase from one side and put it away. Put it on the table.

This suitcase was stolen by Brandon from the Anyin Bureau, and it contained the items in the Anyin Bureau's sealed vault. Although most of it was missing due to the sudden attack by the fierce old lady at the front desk, there was still a little left .

Taking a deep breath, Dorothy opened the box, and then began to examine the contents, and then found that there were indeed a few things inside, except for a little spiritual storage, it was an Extraordinary item.

First, Dorothy found six gold coins with sun symbols and two silver coins with moon symbols in the suitcase, as well as a small stone sculpture the size of a thumb. According to the passive identification technique, this is a spiritual storage. In each gold coin is stored a bit of "light", in each silver coin is stored a bit of "shadow", and in the figurine is stored a "stone",

'A total of six 'lights', two 'shadows' and a little 'stone'?Also, for me, 'Light' and 'Shadow' are very practical spirituality, detection and hiding are very important. '

After reading the spiritual storage, Dorothy shifted her gaze to the extraordinary items left on the box, and saw that it was an old book with a copper cover. There were no logos or words on the cover. Dorothy's front and back After sizing it up, he turned it over, and what he saw were yellowed blank pages. After turning the book from beginning to end, he couldn't see a word inside, just like a draft book.

'Good guy, it's a book without words. '

Looking at the blank book in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help complaining that, of course, she knew that the things stolen from the Security Bureau would not be ordinary goods, so she used the passive identification technique to observe carefully, and found that it was There is a trace of purple light around the book, which means that it is an extraordinary item related to the spirituality of "Enlightenment".

"It's actually something related to 'Enlightenment'. It's interesting. It seems necessary to find out what the purpose of this thing is..."

While thinking like this, Dorothy grabbed a gold coin from the box, and was about to appraise the wordless book in front of her.

Picking up the paper, pen and drawing tools, Dorothy drew a magic circle with the meaning of "lamp" according to the knowledge about identification in her head, placed the book in the center of the circle, and arranged the identification method in an orderly manner. ceremony.

If Dorothy has the spirituality of the "lamp", then the firmness technique can be used directly, but if the "lamp" is a foreign object, then a corresponding ceremony needs to be arranged, which is more troublesome.

Fortunately, the identification ceremony was relatively simple, and Dorothy quickly finished the arrangements. Then, she activated the identification technique on her own initiative. With the consumption of the spirituality of the "lamp", the gold coins on the magic circle suddenly became dim , and the information of the identified object directly appeared in Dorothy's mind.

"Wen Hai Hang Zhi"

"The words written on this book will be able to set sail in the book. If the spirituality of 'enlightenment' is injected, the words will be able to enter the sea of ​​literature. The words written on the book will always have a link with this book."

'What the hell, a book that lets words go? '

Looking at the identification results in her mind, Dorothy's head was in a daze, she couldn't figure out what the book was for for a while, and frowning for a while, she began to think.

'This means...it can cause some special changes in the written text, and it can make the text set sail, but what this set sail actually means needs a little experimentation. '

While thinking about Dorothy unfolding the wordless book in front of her, and then picking up the pen to write something on it, she found that she couldn't decide what to write for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, she wrote a word of preet on the blank page.

"Knowledge".

The letters were branded on the page, and then Dorothy picked up the pen and began to stare at the beautiful font in front of her eyes, waiting for the change, but it didn't make her wait long.

Dorothy saw that the letters on the yellowed page began to visibly twist slightly, as if they were alive!

Then, the word seemed to be a small fish, twisting its body and swimming around on the pages of the book, sometimes this way and sometimes that way, just like a real living thing.

"Wow, it's moving...it's so fun..."

Seeing this scene, Dorothy couldn't help thinking curiously, and then watched the words swimming on the page with even more interest, but after reading for a long time, doubts arose in her heart.

'Fun is fun...but what's the use of it? '

Looking at the words floating on the pages of the book, Dorothy couldn't help touching her chin and thinking, she seemed to have figured out what this book could be used for, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why.

'Ah...it feels like a very useless function. This is the only Extraordinary item kept by the Security Bureau? '

Looking at the words swimming around in front of her eyes, Dorothy really couldn't think of any other uses other than magic performances, and then she suddenly realized that this book was an extraordinary item of "Enlightenment", so injecting "Enlightenment" Will there be any changes when I go in?

'It just so happens that there is still a little left of the inherent 'enlightenment' left today, so let's try it. '

Thinking of this, Dorothy put her hand on the book, injected a "point" of spirituality into it, then let go of her hand, and continued to look at the pages of the book.

Then, she found that the words on the page were swimming even faster!

'Ah...injecting 'Qi' can make the word game faster and more fun...but...what's the use of it? '

Dorothy thought in disappointment, and at this moment, the word swimming on the page suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the edge of the page. Just when Dorothy thought it was going to hit it, it actually rushed past the edge disappeared.

'What the hell? '

Seeing this, Dorothy was startled, and then she turned the book to the next page, and then she saw that the word was swimming here at the moment, but after swimming twice, it rushed to the next page.
