Dorothy's Forbidden Tome
Page 157
Closing her eyes, Dorothy began to recall some important contents of Davik's research journal.
……
On October 10th, we originally believed that the belief in abundance was densely distributed in the Deseru area during the imperial period. Several important and important relics are located here. Deseru should be the center of the belief in abundance. .However, according to the woman's confession, there is actually a belief in abundance that lasted more than ten years ago in the southern mountains of Farano, which may challenge our previous inferences.
On October 10th, for further research, I need to write a letter to the elders, asking the stronghold in Farano to send someone to the woman's hometown to confirm the situation there, hoping to find something of value.
On October 10th, damn it... The church has not yet withdrawn from that place, and the members of the Order of the Holy Mother are still guarding it... How many ruins are they controlling?Their blockade of the remnants of the rich faith is getting stricter...
……
The contents of Davek's research log appeared in Dorothy's mind. After reviewing the contents roughly, Dorothy touched her chin with great interest and summarized the contents of the log.
"Through this log, it seems that the Wolf Blood Society is looking for the remnants of the belief in abundance. Darlene was tortured mainly because she is related to the belief in abundance. Their purpose is to find more remains of the belief in abundance. As for them I don't know what I can get from these remnants...
Chapter 320 Seven Regulations
'It is also worth noting that the Radiance Cult seems to be looking for the legacy of the belief in abundance, and it is mainly the people of the Holy Mother who are doing this. Darlene's hometown was forcibly taken over after it was controlled by the Radiance Cult. With the blockade until now, when it comes to the remaining issues of the belief in abundance, the Afterbirth Sect is in a competitive relationship with the Radiance Sect...'
'In addition, the Wolf Blood Society wanted to steal books about the early Virgin Mary belief from the church library, and the Virgin Mary faction secretly supported Adele's Scarlet Heart. The contradiction seems to be very sharp...'
Dorothy thought in her heart like this. After roughly sorting out, Dorothy began to extract the spirituality in this research log. In the end, she got 3 points of "cup" and 1 point of "enlightenment".
After that, Dorothy began to recall the second secret biography that originally belonged to Davek that she saw in the evidence room. Strictly speaking, it was not a secret biography, but a piece of incomplete and very old parchment The hanging picture, but the content of this picture is poisonous. In Dorothy's response, the blurred content on the hanging picture appeared in front of Dorothy's eyes.
Although the content of the painting is very vague, Dorothy can still vaguely make out the general idea. This is a group portrait with a unique style. The main characters in the painting are all gathered under a big tree, occupying the main central position The one with a fuzzy face is a plump lady wearing simple clothes and holding a sheaf of wheat in her hand, and beside this lady are surrounded by four figures.
Among the four figures, one is a hunter wearing animal skins, holding a bow and shooting arrows.One is a topless sailor looking into the distance.There is a crucible in front of an old man who does not know what is being boiled.A graceful dancer who dances gracefully.
These four figures surround the lady under the tree. There are strange words written in other places where the paintings are hung. Dorothy can't recognize these words. I don't know what they mean. The image looks a bit similar to the imperial text. .
'Is this... the hanging painting of the Goddess of Harvest belief?The one in the center of the painting is the goddess of fertility, and the four people around her symbolize the other four variegated branches of the "cup" path besides the pure "cup"..." The image of the parchment painting was recalled in my mind , Dorothy thought in her heart, and at the same time, doubts appeared in her heart.
'I don't know if the four people next to the Goddess of Plenty just represent the four 'cups' of the variegated branches, or represent the four variegated gods... But their images follow the current variegated vultures like the gluttonous wolf abyss, the snake, and the vulture. The color 'cup' gods are completely different, they are all very serious human figures, if they are really the off-line gods who serve the goddess of abundance, then they can only be the predecessors of Taolang and the others. Fallen? '
Thinking back to the content on the hanging picture, Dorothy thought in her heart, now it seems that the state of belief in the world during the Third Epoch Empire is completely different from what it is now. From the current point of view, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest in the Empire seems to be serious. It is now the official religion of China, and it is a bit far from the current Afterbirth cult.
Combining the previous content, now Dorothy can determine that there seems to be some kind of internal connection between the belief in the Goddess of Fertility during the empire period, and the current Afterbirth Order and even the Radiance Church of Our Lady. All are vying for the inheritance of the rich faith.
"So... what happened at the end of the third era? The empire... the Church of the Goddess of Harvest... the Constellation Society... were all destroyed at that time... It seems that what happened at that time was quite a big deal... "
Dorothy murmured, and then she extracted the spirituality from this hanging painting, and finally obtained 4 "cups" and 2 "enlightenment".
Then, Dorothy took out the secret biography that was found in Smith's burning secret room before, opened it and carefully watched it, and read all the contents of the secret biography every once in a while.
……
This secret biography is a literary article called "Homesickness".
The protagonist of the article is a busy clerk in a certain company in a big city. When he was young, he came out to work hard and earned a considerable income in the city. He is nostalgic for his hometown and his mother all the time, and this nostalgia becomes more serious as he grows older.
Afterwards, the news of the death of his mother in his hometown reached the protagonist’s ears. He put down his work and returned to his hometown to attend his mother’s funeral. After the sad funeral, in order to calm down his strong thoughts, he chose to stay in his hometown instead of returning to his career. A thriving city.
But the strange thing is that after returning to his hometown, the protagonist's homesickness has not been relieved, but has become more serious. The inexplicable strong emotions disturbed him every night. However, the situation became more and more serious. He felt that he was in his hometown but not in his hometown.
One night, under the torment of strong thoughts, the protagonist seemed to realize something. He got up from the bed, took a shovel and went to his mother's cemetery. Witnessed a familiar face.
In the end, the protagonist cut open the abdomen of the corpse in the coffin with a knife and buried his head in it. In the blood and flesh, he felt the peace of returning home.
……
"Tsk...the secret biography of the 'cup' is still as curious as ever..."
On the carriage, Dorothy closed the secret biography in her hand, and simply commented that the "cup" secret biography was in the same style as before, and she was used to it.
After reading the secret biography, Dorothy immediately started spiritual extraction. In this "Homesickness", she got 3 points of "cup" and 1 point of "enlightenment".
After extracting the three "cup" secret biography in one breath, Dorothy mainly began to extract the big one, the content of poison knowledge on the promotion stone tablet. All spirituality is involved. In addition to gaining a lot of "enlightenment", every other spirituality has increased a wave.
Through the promotion of the stele, Dorothy gained 8 points of "Enlightenment", and 3 points for all other spiritualities. Combining the previous situation, Dorothy's spirituality is now like this.
15 cups, 14 stones, 7 shadows, 4 lights, 14 silences, 30 enlightenments.
'Hey... After this wave, the accumulation of spirituality is unexpectedly optimistic. Except for 'Shadow' and 'Lamp', all other spiritualities have already met the requirements. '
After examining her current spiritual situation, Dorothy thought happily for a while. At first, she thought she was far behind, but she didn't expect that after this wave of harvest, the situation was even better than she expected before. Not a lot.Especially the "cup" spirituality, it was clear that the ones who went bankrupt before had only 2 points left, but now it has risen to 15 points in this wave.
For Dorothy, "Shadow" and "Lamp" are not very difficult to accumulate spirituality. She can go to Beverly first to see if there is any related secret transmission. If not, she can try to use other channels. Go for something like Vanya or Greg or even Nest of Eight Points.
"So, the spiritual problem is not so big now, the key is the ceremony... the names and holy emblems of the six pure-color gods... This is a bit difficult to deal with. No one can confirm who the six pure-color gods are, let alone Got their holy emblem."
Dorothy muttered like this, in the fourth era, the six pure-color gods can only find ways to explore the hidden history or deal with various cult associations, which is more difficult than being promoted to a werewolf and raising seven lambs too much.
"Huh... All in all, let's take it slow first, the main focus now is on the promotion ceremony, starting tomorrow, we will start with the simplest..."
Taking a long breath, Dorothy said this, and then in the slightly swaying carriage, she began to think about her plan, and her carriage had already driven out of the woods and headed for the city illuminated by lights in the distance.
Chapter 320 Fundraising
At noon, the rare winter sunshine fell on the streets of Tivian. After several consecutive days of cloudy and light rain, the citizens of Tivian finally ushered in a day suitable for travel.
North Tivian, the church area, taking advantage of the sunshine in the sky, there are many people who come to the church to pray. On the square of the church area, people who come and go at this time are people who come to pray. They wear Clean and bright, most of them are from the local, slightly affluent citizens of Beicheng District. Generally, the people of the lower classes go to the many small churches in Nancheng District and Xicheng District to pray.
On the square in the church district, among the people coming and going, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, wearing a brown suit, a small hat, and two mustaches was walking among them. His eyes Focusing on the chant cathedral in front of him, he stepped forward firmly.
After stepping up the long stairs step by step, the man came to the open high gate of the church. After he stopped to look at the gate in front of him, he walked into it.
After entering the Cathedral of the Psalter, what greeted the man was a magnificent space. The ten-meter-high stone pillars were arranged in sequence, and the wide altar, and the area between the vaulted stone beams, was a pair of Another pair of colorful paintings vividly depicting religious stories.At the end of the hall, at the end of the line of sight, on the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, stained glass pieced together a huge abstract portrait, depicting the scene of the radiance descending into the world to expel evil. In front of the giant glass painting are three altars symbolizing the three saints. After the Trinity Altar is the smaller Altar of the Saviour, which is further away from the public.On both sides of the hall, rows of long chairs are arranged from front to back, and the citizens who come here to pray and repent are sitting on the benches.At the edge of the hall, there are priests and nuns on duty.
This is the Chapel of the Psalter, the largest chapel in the North Tivian church area, and it is also the main part of the church area open to the public. In addition, there are special churches for the Holy Father, Our Lady, and the Son The administrative military facilities of the Tivian Church, but most of those parts are not open to the public.
The man came to the interior of the Psalm Church, and then he found a vacant seat on a pew and sat down, then closed his hands and eyes, as if he was praying devoutly.
In this way, the man prayed earnestly on the bench for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes. After he stood up slowly, he came to a corner of the church, where there was a simple decoration with a There is a large open box with the word "Dedication Box" written on it. From time to time, someone walks over and throws a few coins or banknotes into it. After seeing someone giving money, the nuns who are waiting will bring Looking at him with a smile, he would say a few words of blessing if he gave the most, and even gave him a little gift or token.
After praying, the man walked slowly towards the "offering box". Standing in front of the box, the man took out his wallet and took out six 50-pound bills of the largest denomination, All of them were stuffed into the offering box in one breath, and when they saw more than 300 pounds of banknotes in the box, the nun at the side immediately smiled after being slightly taken aback, and said to the man with an absolutely bright smile.
"Sir, your pious heart is so dazzling, presumably no matter which one of the three saints is the lord of your heart, the light of your believers will definitely be seen by them, please send your Please leave your name on this dedication book, we will pray to the Lord every day, and pray that the glory of the Lord will be with you."
The nun said to the man like this, and then pointed to the small table next to the offering box, an open thick ledger, which densely recorded the names of the devotees and the money donated. At a glance, you can find that only the amount of donation Only those who have reached a certain level can leave their names on it, and those who have their names written on it are all donors who have invested at least fifty pounds into the box.
Hearing what the nun said, the man walked up to the small table, picked up a pen and wrote his name on it, John Evans, and then wrote the amount of three hundred pounds he raised. This amount is on the entire page of the ledger. There are already a lot, the nun on the side continued to smile after seeing it.
"Mr. Evans? Pious believers like you are rare. If you have any needs, you can just ask. We can arrange someone to help you with confessions, prayers, and even exorcisms. ..."
The nun said that for the donors who donated hundreds of pounds in one go, their service attitude must be good, and listening to the nun's words, the man named John laughed, and then spoke.
"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to enjoy this help for the time being."
"No chance for the time being? Mr. Evans, did something happen to you?" Listening to John's words, the nun asked suspiciously, while John answered calmly.
"It's nothing, to be honest, Miss Sister, I'm a businessman, and I'm going to go to the New World to do long-term business in the near future due to business reasons. Since the time is very long, our whole family will have to move there by then."
"New Continent... But I recently heard that the situation in the New Continent is turbulent. Mr. Evans, you are going to do business there now... Will it be risky?"
"Risk and opportunity coexist, Miss Nun, it's really because of the risk that the business opportunities over there are worthy of my family. In order to deal with possible dangers, I also hope to be protected by the Lord. To tell you the truth... I The purpose of the donation is to ask for a Holy Father's Holy Emblem. I often hear people say that as long as I carry the Holy Emblem with me, the Lord's light will be with me..."
John said this to the nun, and the nun nodded in response after hearing this.
"So I asked for the holy emblem, then Mr. Evans, please wait here for a while, and I will be right back." Listening to John's words, the nun said clearly, and then ran away in small steps, and after a while , and came back again, but this time behind her was a priest in his forties wearing a priest's robe.
"Mr. Miller, this is Mr. Evans. Because he is going to do business in the New World, he came here specially to ask for the Holy Father's Holy Emblem."
The nun introduced it to the middle-aged priest named Miller. After hearing the nun's words, the priest Miller also smiled on his mouth, and then said to John.
"The radiance of the Lord will shine on every pious believer, no matter when and where you are, for a pious person like you, Mr. Evans, it is natural to want to get more radiance. Yes, may this holy emblem make you feel that the Holy Father is with you."
As he spoke, Priest Miller took out a small metal badge and gave it to John. On the badge was an abstract sun with two strokes side by side. This is the Holy Father's holy emblem.
"grateful……"
After a slight salute, John picked up the sacred emblem of the Holy Father's words in the hands of the priest, and put it away after careful observation. Then he looked at the priest and nun in front of him and spoke solemnly.
"Master Miller, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you. As you can see, I am a businessman. I have spent half my life doing business everywhere, so I often neglect my family. Therefore In order to be able to take better care of my family, this time I go to the New World, I plan to bring them there together. My wife is a devout believer of the Virgin Mary, so I hope to obtain a holy emblem of the Virgin Mary for her... ... Let her also be able to bathe in the grace of the Lord more closely in the distance, is it possible?"
With a sincere tone, John said to Miller. After hearing John's words, Priest Miller showed a slightly embarrassed expression, and then spoke.
"I still want to ask for the holy emblem of the Holy Mother... This is not impossible, but Mr. Evans has already asked for the holy emblem of the Holy Father just now... Now he will come to ask for the Holy Mother again, although he is asking for it on behalf of others , but always too often, which may make others think your piety..."
Priest Miller spoke slowly and hesitantly. Listening to his words, John silently took out another 300 pounds of cash from his wallet and put it into the offering box beside him. , Priest Miller's eyes lit up when he saw it, and his slow tone immediately became smooth and fast.
"You don't need others to think about it. In our eyes, your piety is firm and reliable no matter what. For a devout person like you, ask for a holy emblem for your family for safety. How could you not agree?"
With a smile, Priest Miller took out a new holy emblem from his clothes and handed it to John. After taking it, John took a closer look and found that it was very similar to the previous Holy Father emblem , is an abstract sun symbol with an inverted triangle inside, which is the holy symbol of Our Lady.
Chapter 320 Fundraising
Putting away the holy emblem with a smile, John continued to look at Priest Miller, and then spoke.
"On behalf of my wife, I would like to express my thanks to you, Priest Miller, but I'm afraid I still have some things to trouble you. My son is 14 years old this year, and it is time for him to be curious about foreign affairs. After arriving in the New World, my baby The son will definitely run around because of curiosity, and I worry that without the Son to protect him in his adventures, he will be in danger."
John said this to Priest Miller, and at the same time he took out another 300 pounds of cash and stuffed it into the offering box, while Priest Miller looked at several large bills with straight eyes. After being thrown into the offering box, another holy emblem was found from his body.
"Ah... a child around the age of 14 is in the New World. It is true that he may encounter some unknown dangers, but I think that as long as he has this holy emblem, the protection of the Holy Son will always be with him. Under the protection, the young master who has experienced and grown up in the New World will surely achieve a great career in the future."
Saying so, Priest Miller handed the Holy Son Holy Emblem in his hand to John, who also accepted it gladly, and then said with emotion.
"Thank you very much, priest, for your gift. Our family will be able to live a peaceful life in the New World with the protection of the Holy Emblem of the Three Saints."
"Hehe, it's nothing. The Holy Emblem is prepared for the most loyal and devout believers. Mr. Evans, the devotion you just showed is enough to allow you and your family to receive the protection of the Holy Emblem. A pious believer like you is also a blessing for us."
Priest Miller responded, and at this time John was about to say something when he saw the three Holy Altars under the stained glass in the hall in the distance, and the altar above the Altar of the Three Holy, which belonged to the glow The Savior, a smaller and farther altar, suddenly said something as if he remembered something after being slightly startled.
"By the way, respected Priest Miller, since I have obtained the holy emblems of the Three Saints, I can buy a small and complete holy place of radiance in my home in the New World in the future. I heard from others that the three holy emblems The holy emblem can be used as a small altar for the three saints, as long as I can have one more holy emblem of the savior, then I can meet the requirements for setting up a holy place, and it will be complete."
When John said this, listening to his tone, it seemed that he hadn't planned to get the holy emblem of the Radiant Savior at first, but since he saw that he already had three holy emblems of the Three Saints in his hand, he might as well make one.
Hearing John's words, Priest Miller nodded, and then spoke in response.
"Well...you are right. Since you have obtained the holy emblem of the three saints, you can use another holy emblem of the savior to imitate the church and run a holy place at home...Mr. Evans, wait a moment Just a moment, I'll come as I go."
Priest Miller said so, then he turned and left the scene, and came back shortly after, with a new holy emblem already in his hand.
"I kept you waiting for a long time. This is the holy emblem of the savior. I haven't sent it for a long time. It took me a while to find it."
As he said that, Miller handed the holy emblem in his hand to John. The holy emblem was a simple and abstract sun with nothing in it. Miller handed it to John directly, without waiting for him to stuff more money into it. In the offering box, it seems as if the Holy Emblem of the Savior is being given away.
"Thank you so much, Priest Miller. On behalf of me and my family, I sincerely thank you." After receiving the badge, John thanked Miller, and Priest Miller replied with a smile.
"It's nothing. For the faithful believers of the Lord, these are what you deserve, Mr. Evans. I wish you and your family smooth sailing in the New World."
Priest Miller said the last thing, and after he exchanged some pleasantries with John, John said goodbye to him and walked out of the church. After going down the long stairs to the square, he walked out of the church area.
At the gate of the church district, John waited for a while, stopped a carriage and got on it. After turning left and right in the North City District, he finally stopped at a bridge. After getting off the car, he looked around and saw A young man then walked up and gave him all the holy emblems on his body.
After that, the young man walked alone on the street for a while, and finally stopped beside a carriage on the side of the road. After the windows of the carriage opened, he stretched his hand in, and quickly retracted it leave.
In the compartment of the carriage, Dorothy, who was wearing a small lady's suit, was sitting inside, looking at the four holy symbols in her hand, and after inspecting them one by one with spiritual vision, she muttered with a slight frown on her brows.
"Damn... the spirituality in these four holy emblems doesn't add up to a single bit, and each of them can be sold for 300 pounds. This group of god sticks are really pitiful. I can buy them from profiteers with this little money. A cache or two."
Checking the spirituality in the Holy Emblem, Dorothy complained that she knew that the Holy Emblem contained spirituality before, but she never expected that there would be so few of them. Originally, she planned to use the extra holy emblems she bought as It is used for storage, and now it seems that it has been wasted. The "lights" of these four gadgets combined are not as much as storage.
"It seems that for the Radiance Cult, the holy emblem that ordinary people can get is just a high-level placebo, it's just a waste of money... It cost me nine hundred pounds for such a small thing... um..."
As she said that, the furious Dorothy couldn't help puffing up her mouth, but finally she opened her mouth with ease.
"Phew...forget it...although I spent a lot of money, but at least the main goal has been achieved...the first holy emblem...get it..."
Muttering, Dorothy took the one belonging to the Radiant Savior out of the four holy emblems and looked at it. Although the spirituality was slight, it was still made by the church itself, and it belonged to the genuine holy emblem of the Radiant Savior. , is one of the must-haves for Dorothy's promotion ceremony.
It took Dorothy a lot of effort to obtain this holy emblem today. The holy emblem of the Radiance Cult is not out of reach for ordinary people. As long as you make contributions to the church, you can get it The Holy Emblem, this is the regulation of the church. For ordinary people, the Holy Emblem of Radiance Cult is equivalent to a symbol, amulet, and high-level belief sustenance.
For ordinary people, the most common way to contribute is naturally to solicit donations. As the saying goes, "If you jingle in the donation box, your soul will ascend to heaven." It has a long history, and is often more ruthless than the profiteers and capitalists of the White Stone Masons Union.
Because now Vanya has experienced the Smith incident again, and is under the attention of both the Security Bureau and the church. For the sake of her safety, Dorothy did not ask Vanya to help get the Holy Spirit of the Radiant Savior. Instead of using the holy emblem, they forcefully donated money to donate the holy emblem by manipulating corpse puppets to act as donors.
Dorothy had investigated before, and if she wanted to rely on donations to obtain the Holy Emblem, it was possible to get one or two hundred pounds, but the most stable amount was three hundred pounds. Dorothy donated so much in one go for stability, and donated three times
And the reason why Dorothy didn't directly ask for the Holy Emblem of the Radiant Savior from the beginning is because the belief in the Savior is an absolute minority in the Radiant Cult, and there is almost no one in the general public who spares the Three Saints directly. For those who believe in the Savior, if Dorothy asks the puppet John to ask for the holy emblem of the Savior directly, it will arouse suspicion.
Because this may involve the heresy "Savior Incarnation" of the Radiance Cult, which is a heresy that promotes the hypocrisy of the Three Saints and only believes in the Savior.
So after thinking twice, Dorothy asked John to make a big detour when asking for the Holy Emblem. First, he asked for the Holy Father, and then asked for the Holy Mother and the Son. , let the priest give himself the holy emblem of the Radiant Savior without any doubt.After all, it is only a short of saving the Glow series holy emblem full illustrated book, and you can get the achievement, so it makes sense to help.
If she directly asked for the Holy Emblem of the Savior, there would be a high probability that she would be regarded as being influenced by heresy. At that time, she would probably be subject to a key inspection, and then Dorothy's corpse would be exposed.
Even at the entrance of the Psalter Church, which is a public open area, the church has a powerfully arranged luminous lamp at work. Dorothy spent a total of 4 "shadow" points this time in order to let John pass the luminous lamp , It consumes more than going to Anyin Bureau before.
This is still a public open area in the church district. If it is other classified places in the church district, who knows how strong the detection ability will be, so Dorothy's corpse will definitely be exposed once it is checked, and the 10 points on Dorothy's body "Shadow" is like sprinkling water when facing the church, and it is impossible to resist it.So when asking for the Holy Emblem, Dorothy must not let John be suspected, and she did it in the end, but the price was nine hundred pounds.
