Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Well, I destroyed the control device on the damn scepter, and then the teacher's power can be released freely. She used her own power to kill herself. After she passed away, I felt the release of my soul. She finally even The soul is so broken and fragile, maybe it is true as she said, before I can find a way to restore her, she will go crazy first... Maybe this is the best choice."

As she spoke, Adele poured herself some red wine, picked it up and drank it down, and then continued to speak with blurred eyes.

"Oh... I didn't expect that after working for so long, I thought I could save the teacher in the end, but I didn't expect it to be such a result..."

"No, you saved her. If it wasn't for you, your teacher is still suffering and has become a tool of the Wolf Blood Society. You don't need to blame yourself for it." Ed comforted Adele Speaking of which, after listening to Ed's words, Adele chuckled lightly.

"Thank you for your comfort, big detective, but don't worry... I haven't reached the point of self-pity, it's just that some of my unrealistic expectations have come to nothing. It's worth the trip to let the teacher find peace. of.

"Anyway, this action is thanks to you, Mr. Detective. If it weren't for you, not only would I not be able to find a teacher, but I might have put myself in it. It's all because of you, Mr. Detective, that I can stand here now." Credit, I really didn't expect a small mark to prevent death... I am very glad to be able to hire you, Mr. Detective. Of course, your salary will not be small. I will collect all my teacher's research materials for you."

Adele said this to Ed, listening to her words, Ed's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then he asked.

"Isn't your teacher already free?"

"Yes, but when she was freed, she also left some things for me, some of her spiritual power and some memories. From her memory, I found that her research materials were not actually collected by the Wolf Blood Association. It was taken away, but it was hidden in a safe place. After I went back, I took out all these materials and sent them to you through the White Stone Craftsman's Union. Just wait slowly after you go back.

"Of course, I don't think the value of that little thing is worth what you have done for me today. No matter what, I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, Mister Detective, you can just call me. "

Adele explained that, listening to her words, Dorothy in the distance couldn't help nodding her head, wondering if this was Darlena's secret technique, or some kind of magic among similar "enlightenment" Extraordinary people Phenomenon.

"Then there is Miss Lawardelle."

"Hehe, just call me Adele, you don't have to be so polite, Mr. Detective." Adele said so, then picked up the red wine bottle, and began to pour red wine into the two goblets, while pouring While muttering.

"To be honest, I don't want to always be Mr. Detective... It's just a pity to call you Mr. Detective. Until now, I don't know what your real name is or what your appearance is... I hope one day , I can see your real side..."

Looking at Ed in front of her, Adele handed Ed a glass of red wine she had poured in her hand, and Ed paused for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Perhaps...my real image will surprise you..."

"Hehe, I've been in the secret world for a long time, and I've seen a lot of weird things. As long as Mr. Detective's real body is not some divine existence that cannot be seen directly, I think I will Wouldn't be surprised."

Adele said with a smile, and then picked up the glass of wine in front of her.

"I won't force Mr. Detective to meet me or anything, but tonight, I still hope that you, Mr. Detective, can accompany me for a drink or two, even if it's a puppet. The wine this time is from the bar, you can Drink at ease..."

After finishing speaking, Adele drank the wine in the glass with a raise. Dorothy saw her, and then let Ed pick up the glass.

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

In the northern suburb of Tivian, in front of the East Campus of Royal Crown University, a green town.

In the afternoon, the rare autumn sunshine fell on the streets of the green-shaded town. On the small balcony of No. 17, Dorothy, who was dressed in a loose white dress and her hair was loose, was sitting on a chair. After the cloudy weather, it was rare for her to come out to bask in the sun today, otherwise she felt that her body was going to be moldy.

At this time, there was a thick book in front of Dorothy, with steaming coffee and a small cake beside the book. What was written on the book was Dorothy and others. The discourse of communication between them, this is exactly "Wen Hai Hang Zhi".

Put a big spoonful of sugar into the coffee on the table, and Dorothy slowly stirred the liquid in the cup with a spoon. Pick up the coffee cup and bring it to your mouth to taste slowly.

Bathed in the warm sunshine, Dorothy looked at the newly emerging words on Wen Hai Hang Zhi while feeling the tranquility of the surroundings. After careful examination, she put down the coffee cup, then picked up the pen beside her and began to write Write a reply on the log.

"So that means, you are now working in the hospital?" After writing the words on the communication page belonging to Vanya, Dorothy watched quietly as the written words sank into the book. After waiting quietly for a while, a reply sentence in Vanya's handwriting emerged.

"Yes, Miss Dorothea, because most of the people in our History and Classics Office have been sent to cure drugs, and they are not allowed to return to work until they are [-]% recovered, so now the entire Church History and Classics Office is paralyzed. , I just got promoted to the black rank and I will not have a job for a while, so I was arranged to come to the Afle Moon Hospital, where my ability as a healing priest can play a role."

On "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", Vanya explained her current situation to Dorothy in this way. After she was promoted, she seemed to be transferred to the church hospital due to the lack of jobs.

"So, in the future, your place of work will be changed there. As a doctor and nun, don't you work in the church area?" Dorothy continued to write the response on the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", accompanied by the handwriting Sinking, after waiting patiently, Vanya's notes reappeared.

"No, I'm only going there temporarily to help. There are professional doctors and nuns over there. Although my ability can help, I'm just a trainee here to help for a period of time. If there are If I find a suitable position or if the Department of History and Economics returns to normal, I may be transferred again. I still live in the church area, and the hospital is only a temporary position."

Vanya responded like this, and seeing her response, Dorothy nodded slightly, and probably understood what was going on.

"Vanya was temporarily promoted because of her meritorious service, and there will be no suitable position for her for a while, so she was transferred to the hospital as an intern because of her ability... But this is only temporary. According to her, she should be transferred back to the hospital later. Go to a more suitable post, I hope it will be the Department of History and Classics, where she can get in touch with the secret biography of the church.

'Furthermore, after the Department of History and Classics was restored, Fanya was transferred back as a black-ranked middle-level deacon. If the director of the department is in charge, then it will be easy for me to get the secret biography of the church! '

Dorothy thought like this in her heart, and then she wrote her idea to Vanya, asking if it was possible to realize it, and Vanya responded after a moment of pause.

"It's true. Deacon Keke is a middle-level deacon of the black rank. If I return to the History and Classics Department, there is a high probability that I will directly replace him. But if this is the case... For the church, the post of Director of the History and Classics Department will continue to appear. There are two people with problems, and I and Ke Ke both have secrets that the church does not allow, Miss Dorothea, to be honest, this makes me feel a little weird..."

Vanya responded to Dorothy in this way. Dorothy could feel the uneasiness in Vanya's heart just by reading her words. She compared herself with Cork, a traitor, and found that both herself and him had concealed important things from the church. The secret, which made Vanya feel a little sorry.

Seeing Vanya's reply, Dorothy was slightly taken aback, and then decided to help Vanya enlighten her a little bit, so she wrote it on "Wen Hai Hang Zhi".

"No, it shouldn't be said that. Although Vanya, you have hidden a little bit more from the above, but she has never done anything harmful to the interests of the church. She even helped the church fight against heresy and cleared the threat for the church. How is this? Could it be the same as that Cork who tried to use drugs to murder his subordinates and plot evil?

"Vanya, you don't need to worry about this matter. Think about it, if you didn't have the secret from Akka that day, and you wouldn't have discovered the problem with Cork, the church might have suffered immeasurable losses , you have not betrayed the church, you are just secretly guarding the church in your own way.

"This method of protection is destined not to be understood by some people. Although there are risks, someone must do it, otherwise the conspiracy of the unruly people in Kok will succeed. Didn't the Holy Son teach it before, for the protection of the teachings? To protect the letter, every believer needs to have the spirit and courage to sacrifice, to guard the church secretly in a special way that cannot be understood, and to take risks. Isn't this a kind of self-sacrifice? So Vanya, you There is no need to be confused in your heart, just continue to do what you are doing well.”

Dorothy wrote the words of enlightenment to Vanya on the flight log. After her words were read by the nun Vanya who was taking a lunch break in the lounge, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then she muttered.

"In my own way... guarding the church in secret?"

Seeing what Dorothy wrote to her, Vanya was shocked for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Thinking about it, almost all the things she did under Aka’s will were acts of salvation. , Although his actions violated the regulations, they really eliminated threats for the church and reduced losses.

'That's right...As Miss Dorothea said, the Holy Son taught us to have the spirit of sacrifice for the defense of the Church, and I am secretly protecting the Church, so why not also be a kind of sacrifice..."

Thinking of this, Vanya actually felt that she suddenly became more noble. This setting of "protecting the church alone in her own way" made her feel a little moved, and the uneasiness in her heart just now not only It weakened a lot at once, and even raised some enthusiasm. After receiving psychological comfort, she let out a long sigh of relief, and then responded to Dorothy with a pen.

"Thank you Miss Dorothea for your enlightenment, I am ashamed, as a nun, I still need you to enlighten me with the contents of the scriptures, your words have enlightened me a lot, and now I feel much clearer in my heart.

"Miss Dorothea, your wisdom is amazing. I will follow what you said and concentrate on doing the work right now. If there is anything important, please let me know."

On the balcony of No. 17 in Lusha Town, Dorothy couldn't help but nodded when she saw Vanya's response, with a teachable expression on her face, thinking that it's a good thing this child is innocent and easy to fool.

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

Then, Dorothy spoke a few words to Vanya in an enlightening tone, and ended this communication after learning more about her recent situation.

Every once in a while, Dorothy will communicate with her contacts, the "members" of the Rosicrucian to understand their situation, and they are also very happy to talk to Dorothy, the only "high-level Rosicrucian" she knows. Chatting, on the one hand, they want to know about the Rosicrucian situation, on the other hand, they also like to ask Dorothy for answers when they encounter problems, such as just now.

After enlightening Vanya's heart, Dorothy began to look through the flight log in her hand, looked through the recent correspondence with other people, and then sorted out the current situation of each contact in her heart.

'Neveu is still learning secret biography recently and wants to familiarize herself with her abilities. She wants to go to places with ghosts to practice, so she is looking through the newspaper materials in the library, looking for some haunted places to explore, but fluttered. There are several empty ones.

"In short, there are clear haunted incidents in Tivian that should have been dealt with by the Anyin Bureau, so it is unlikely to find the real ghost by following the haunted rumors. Poor Neveu, although he was promoted to Extraordinary, he has not The ability has never been experienced so far. '

Looking at the communication page with Neveuth, Dorothy thought in her heart that if a psychic can’t find a spirit, wouldn’t there be no difference between ordinary people? Neveu directly complained to Dorothy in the navigation log that she was promoted Extraordinary people don't feel anything afterward, and their daily life is still like that of ordinary people, without any change.

After reading Nephness's communication page, Dorothy turned to Kapak's communication page again. Because Kapak is very eager to learn and often asks Dorothy for advice, there are many words on it.

'Kapak has already started to learn shaman knowledge from the shaman in the clan. According to the old shaman, after Kapak's spiritual accumulation is full, he will hold a ceremony for Kapak and truly become a shaman apprentice.

"According to the nature of the shaman, Kapak is estimated to become a Beyonder in the field of 'Sabi' like Neveu, but now it seems that the Beyonder system of the New World is different from this side, and Kapak may become The Extraordinary who has become "Sabi" will also be different from the psychic that Neveu became.

' Another point is that after long-term observation, the old shaman of their tribe officially began to allow Kapac to promote various modern technologies and items in the tribe, including medicine.With the support of the old shaman, Kapak, who has modern medical methods, can finally treat the tribe's illness freely. His status in the tribe has risen rapidly, but this has also caused dissatisfaction among a considerable number of conservatives... Contradictions It seems that it has started to become a little sharper, and I hope nothing will happen in the future. '

Dorothy thought so, and then she started flipping the flight log in her hand again, this time she turned to a page with relatively few conversations, which was the contact page belonging to Anna.

"Anna, as a child, has been busy learning noble etiquette and various related knowledge recently, preparing for the comprehensive inheritance of property after adulthood. Now the property of the Field family is entrusted to a third-party financial institution led by the church. Although Anna is the first heir, as a child, she does not have full authority to dispose of the wealth.

’ I don’t know if I make Anna an Extraordinary of ‘Enlightenment’ and finish all the relevant courses quickly, can I make her formally inherit the property earlier?But this will definitely make the Anyin Bureau and the church suspicious... so we should be more cautious. '

Dorothy was thinking like this. After her plan to invent the internal combustion engine failed last time, her plan to make a lot of money was put on hold for the time being. Now Anna is the beneficiary she expected in the future, but the other party is just a child and cannot control her Dispose of your own property.

After reading Anna's contact page, Dorothy felt a little regretful, and just as she continued to look through the flight log, she saw a new handwriting on one of the pages, which was not in the flight log originally. A graceful handwriting.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Detective, I have already found a copy of the teacher's information, and now I have mailed it to you. The memory of the teacher is very confusing in my mind. I need to sort it out for a while before I can sort out the hiding place of these materials. In addition, I have encountered some troubles here now, and the next information may take a while before it will be sent to you."

Dorothy stared at the new handwriting on the new newsletter page in front of her. She knew who the handwriting belonged to. It belonged to Adele. When she said goodbye that day, Dorothy gave her a contact text for convenience. In the future, I will keep in touch frequently, and now the other party has sent a message.

"Well, I see, I will pay attention to check it here, by the way, what is the trouble you are talking about? Is it tricky?"

Dorothy responded to Adele while writing that, unlike other contacts in the flight log, Dorothy’s wording and tone to Adele were relatively equal, while she was a little bit superior when talking to other people. This is because under Dorothy's arrangement, other people seem to be members of the Rosicrucian or quasi-members, and Dorothy is naturally their superior.At any rate, Adele is also a Cretaceous Extraordinary, a collaborator rather than a member of Rosicrucian, and not Dorothy's subordinate.

"It's some questions from the Church of Radiance. It's not troublesome, but it's troublesome. You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Detective." Soon, Adele wrote in response, and Dorothy was a little confused after reading her words. Accident.

"Glory Church? Do you have a relationship with them?"

"It's a big deal. The Radiance Church's Madonna faction is the secret protector and supporter of our Scarlet Heart. They are secretly supporting us to fight against the Wolf Blood Association. The Dance Club directly attacked us, because of the deterrence provided by the church in the dark, so they didn't dare to directly attack us like before.

"The Glow Cult also noticed what happened in the soot area a few days ago. They know my ability, and now they are sending someone to ask me about the situation. It took me a lot of effort to deal with them recently."

Adele's words gradually appeared on the paper in front of Dorothy's eyes. Looking at these words, Dorothy couldn't help touching her chin.

Dorothy had already thought about it a long time ago. The Wolf's Blood Society had already destroyed countless "cup" associations head-on. How could they choose to face Scarlet Heart, an alliance composed of survivors under their claws? Playing some dirty tricks secretly, there must be some powerful force secretly deterring the Wolf Blood Society to have such a result, but what she didn't expect was that it was the Radiance Cult who secretly supported Scarlet Heart?And it is also specifically named the Notre Dame faction.

'This is interesting... At present, the Virgin seems to be the god of the main 'lamp' and the 'cup', and now the Virgin Mary faction is actively interfering in the battle between the 'Cup' associations, and it seems that they want to support the scarlet What is the motivation behind these afterbirth associations of the Heart Against Wolf Blood Society? '

Dorothy thought so, from this microcosm, she could see that the Radiance Cult, especially the Notre Dame sect, seemed to be wary and hostile towards the afterbirth. Is there the will of the gods in it?

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

In the afternoon, on the balcony of No. 17 in Lusha Town, Dorothy looked at the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" in her hand and thought silently. Looking at Adele's response just now, she thought about the Radiance of Our Lady and the Glutton Wolf. Cup Is there any hidden confrontation and contradiction between the mother's afterbirth? After all, they are all involved in the field of "cup" at the same time, and there may be some unknown dispute hidden in it.

'Of course, it's also possible that I'm thinking too much, and there may not be any high-level disputes between gods. After all, the Cult of Radiance, as the largest official extraordinary organization, should come forward to resist a cult like the Wolf Blood Society. '

Dorothy thought of this again, and after thinking for a while, she decided not to think about these problems that would not lead to any results for a while, so she closed the "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" in front of her, and began to appreciate Surrounded by the scenery, enjoy the coffee and sunshine in this leisure time.

And just as Dorothy was tasting the coffee, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hey~ that one over there~"

Hearing this voice, Dorothy was slightly taken aback, then looked towards the direction where the voice came from, the street downstairs of her house, and then saw a familiar figure, a short gray hair, wearing loose clothes at home, tied The girl with the apron and the bag is none other than Beverly.

"Beverly? Why are you here?" Seeing the neighbor downstairs on the balcony, Dorothy said in surprise, while Beverly waved the rectangular bag on her hand blankly, and continued to speak shouted.

"Your package, come down and get it, hurry up, I'm still cooking soup at home."

'stew?It's not enough for you clockwork man to learn how to make coffee, now you're going to learn how to cook? 'Listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy thought a little unexpectedly in her heart, but she didn't stop. She immediately got up and went back to the house and went downstairs. When she got to the door, Beverly clicked The son handed the package to Dorothy, and Beverly continued to speak after Dorothy took it.

"Okay, I'll go back and keep recording the data. If you have time, remember to go to my place to taste the soup."

"Uh... ok, I'll come if I have time."

Dorothy responded to Beverly and said, and then Beverly, who was wearing an apron, turned around and left immediately. Looking at Beverly's back, Dorothy wondered why this clockwork man is so good at work. The coffee is now cooking. Is she recording these data to develop some housekeeping robot?

Dorothy's doubts only lasted for a moment, and then her attention was immediately shifted to the long package in her hand. Although there was no information written on it, since Beverly took it, the sender must be There is only one.

Holding the newly arrived package, Dorothy returned back to her own room, and after closing the door, she went all the way to the study. After sitting on a chair, she put the package on the table, and then unpacked it. Open it, and what appeared in front of Dorothy was an old notebook with a yellowed cover, and there was a note in the notebook, which was written in Adele's handwriting.

"Sure enough..." Dorothy thought so clearly in her heart, and now the only person who knows that the white stone craftsman will send her something is Adele, so it goes without saying that Adele sent it to herself, she Teacher Darlene's research materials.

Without thinking much, Dorothy picked up the note and looked at the content on it.

"This is the first piece of information I found. It seems to be my teacher's research notes on the path of 'Enlightenment' in the early days. I didn't read it carefully because it has poison knowledge, so I don't know if you are interested in it. I'm dealing with some troublesome things here, and I'll find other materials to send to you after I'm done, please keep these materials, Mr. Detective, and lastly, please pay attention to drug awareness protection."

'Knowing poison?That's a good relationship, it just happened that I used the Heart-Eating Staff Sword last time to toss about it, and I lost 7 points of 'cup' all of a sudden, which is not a small amount, and it just so happens that I can make up for it this time. '

Dorothy thought of this, then put Adele's note aside, picked up Darlene's old notebook, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

Under the strong learning ability brought by a Ph. D., Dorothy quickly read through this not-so-thick notebook, and she breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

"I didn't expect Adele's teacher to have such a birth...The Path of Desire to Evil came from this way..."

Dorothy murmured, and then began to organize the contents of this notebook in her mind. As Adele said, this notebook is a notebook from the early days of Darlene's research. At that time, she was just an apprentice , hadn't really set foot on the road of desire and evil, and the reason for her taking this side road surprised Dorothy.

According to the analysis of the records in the notes, Darlene is an ordinary peasant girl who was born in a remote mountainous area in Farano, the mainland. Different customs and habits.

In Darlene's hometown, there is a different kind of belief. The people there believe in a god named the goddess of abundance. According to the description in the notes, this goddess can bring a good harvest to the land, and is also love, marriage, The guardian god of fertility, Darlene's hometown has been enshrining such a goddess for generations, and has not been affected by the expansion of the Radiance Cult from the outside world.

Darlene was born in the priestly family of the Goddess of Plenty. She learned a kind of dance to worship the gods in various ceremonies since she was a child. In the process of learning the dance, Darlene felt that she was getting stronger day by day, and was more and more loved by other people in the village, just like her grandparents. .

Darlene wrote in her notes that she later discovered that this ancestral ritual dance is the yu dance, and she even relied on the spiritual accumulation and family rituals of the yu dance to become a dancer without knowing it. The apprentice of "Cup", after her mother died, she officially inherited as the priest who worshiped the goddess of fertility in the village.

But not long after Darlene inherited, their peaceful life was soon interrupted. Due to the development of industrialization, the railway was built near their village, and their long-term secret worship belief was exposed. The official soon led the cathars to their village and forced the people here to change their beliefs. Under the pressure of the Radiance Cult, the people in the village had to accept it.

Fortunately, at that time, the craziest trial era of the Radiance Cult has passed, and the current methods are quite "civilized". Heretics only need to convert in time to avoid any punishment, and they will not be as inactive as before. Just set fire to the stake, as long as the monsters who don't resist are converted, then they won't use force.But all traces of the old beliefs had to be erased. The books in the holy temple in the village were confiscated, the murals were demolished, and the statue of the goddess of fertility was transformed into a statue of the Virgin.

No one dared to resist the huge faith pressure from the Radiance Cult. As a young priest, Darlene was angry at the desecration of her faith, but she did not dare to resist, so she secretly brought the most The precious treasure, the secret book of the belief in the goddess of fertility passed down from generation to generation has escaped.

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

After escaping from the village, Darlene finally saw the outside world, outside religions, and the hidden world and mysticism. Born in a priestly family, after her life stabilized, she naturally immersed herself in the mystery and rich secrets. During the research, Darlene's notebook is mainly a research notebook for that secret book.

This notebook was written by Darlene after she came into contact with a lot of mystic knowledge from the outside world and entered the hidden world for many years, so she has her own views on the goddess of abundance, which is not entirely the mentality of a priest. In her opinion, abundance The goddess is very likely to be a goddess who was active in the ancient "cup" field before and after the War of Dawn and the Empire period. It is very likely that she has fallen now, and the belief she believes in is likely to be one of the remnants of her previous belief.

And Darlene believes that this goddess of abundance is likely to be quite powerful when she is active. This is because after she conducted a long-term anti-drug research on the secret tome, she found that the goddess of abundance was actually recorded in it. The church at that time was quite large, so huge that it could even be divided into five major tribes, and the priests of each tribe had a special way to approach the goddess through continuous advancement, and the family they belonged to was Among them, the dancer branch holds the extraordinary branch that can manipulate desire.

After confirming this, Darlene was very excited. She began to travel according to the clues provided in the secret book, looking for a way to continue to climb the branch of her family, and the clues given in the secret book are necessary Go to the star number repair clubs that specify a few bases to cooperate, and get the method of accumulating "enlightenment" spirituality from them.

However, the secret book did not specify the location of the relics of the Star Numerology Society, which made Darlene complain in the notes, but she also made up her mind to find those relics by herself.

"Huh... until the end, I still don't know the location of the ruins..."

Sitting on the chair in the study, after sorting out Darlene's initial notes, Dorothy sighed with a long sigh of relief. Although there are some clues about the Astrology Book Club in this note, it is not Not many, the most important thing is that she failed to know the exact location of the ruins of the Star Shushu Society.

"It seems that we can only have clues after Adele finds the remaining materials. This notebook is the handwriting of Darlene studying her own secret code. It was written when she first entered Extraordinary. Others The materials left by her from other periods should contain information about the ruins of the Star Shushu Society. '

Thinking of this, Dorothy glanced at the note in front of her with regret, and although she only got a little information about the Star Shuttle Club, there was quite a lot of information about the "cup" field. Especially the so-called Church of the Goddess of Harvest.

"During the War of Dawn and the Empire, this so-called Church of the Goddess of Plenty seemed to be very powerful. It held five branches, and the church was divided into five factions, including pure 'cup' and auxiliary 'enlightenment',' All the branches in the field of "cup" have been mastered, which is stronger than the current Radiance Cult. On the surface, the Radiance Cult only mastered three in the field of "Light". It belongs to the Great Unification...
