Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

During the daytime, the sky in Tivian was white and thick. In the woods on the northwest outskirts, on a small hill somewhere, there were several figures standing here at this moment. The leader among them was a man wearing a black cotton cloak. Yes, with a thin face, a woman in her forties, standing in the cold wind with a fur hat on her head, and standing beside her are several attendants in different clothes, standing together in the cold wind Among them, it seems to be waiting for something.

This woman is Larina of the Necropolis Order, and the people standing around her are all her subordinates. At this time, these subordinates are looking around with guarded expressions. There are not many of them. , but in places that ordinary people can't see, there are many ghosts wandering around at this time, and the gathering of invisible things makes the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

In the center of the open space on the top of the hill, there was a small wooden square table with a lantern on it. Larina had two men guarding the table.

On the hill, ghosts and subordinates are guarding all around. La Ruina herself is holding a monocular telescope and looking into the distance. There are huge stone buildings.

The not-too-high city wall was bent back and forth at sharp angles, and finally bent into a complete huge star shape. In this way, the star-shaped city wall books were stacked and staggered twice and spread outward, like a flower blooming on the ground. There are gentle slopes and deep ditches in front of the outer city wall, and the inner side of the city wall is lined with various buildings. Flags are flying above the city wall. Larina can clearly see the Prieter Army on the flags with binoculars. There is the logo of the Priet Kingdom, and red and white soldiers are patrolling on the city wall.

Obviously, this is a fortress, a not-so-small military fortress standing on the outskirts of Tivian, staring at the huge building in the distance through the binoculars, Larina put down the binoculars after concentrating for a long time, her brows frowned slightly rise.

At this time, a man in a plain coat and a thick hat ran to Larina's side from afar. It was Carle, who stood respectfully beside Larina and reported to her.

"Ma'am, we have carefully inspected the area within a few hundred meters, and found no abnormalities, no ambushes. We have also dug through the soil under this trading site, and we can't find any traces of traps. This trading place can be said to be safe."

Calle reported to Larina that in order to prepare for this transaction, they had arrived at Tivian several days ago, and their main energy has been collecting intelligence and understanding the transaction location. Exploration.

Tivian is not a particularly powerful place in the Nether Coffin Order, so they will be more careful in their actions. For them, this trading place was chosen by the thief. The other party may carry out some pre-ambush or set up a trap here. To fall into the trap, it is necessary to settle in advance and carefully investigate.

"Nothing unusual... haven't those thieves come here to do anything?"

Listening to Carlisle's words, Larina paused for a moment, and then continued to ask questions, and Carlisle responded in an affirmative tone.

"No! Ma'am, our people and ghosts have been monitoring this place since the day before yesterday, and no suspicious person has come close. As far as this place is concerned, it can be said to be absolutely safe!"

"Just this place..." Larina frowned after listening to Calle's speech, and then continued to speak.

"According to your tone...is there something else wrong?"

Larina spoke slowly, while Carlisle nodded and pointed to the fortress at the end of his sight in the distance.

"Yes, the biggest problem is the Preet Fortress over there. Although that fortress is far away from here, the range of security is very large. Many people can meet patrols by walking about 500 meters there. The team and the sentry are up, the fortress is well defended, and the soldiers are well equipped."

Looking at the tall fortress buildings in the distance, Carleigh paused for a moment, and then continued to speak.

"More importantly, we used the ghost investigation to find that when we approached the fortress for about one kilometer, we sensed the extraordinary effect of expelling spirits in operation. Lantern came to carry out past inspections, and one of our ghosts was found because they were too close, and immediately the patrol personnel skillfully used the spirit seal to seal our ghosts and immediately launched a search. If we hadn't reacted enough Hurry up, hide in time, you might be discovered...

"Ma'am... That fortress seems to have a very complete extraordinary defense. It is not an ordinary military fortress. Although it is far away from the other side, it is considered safe. But there is such a kind of defense, whether it is ordinary military or secret extraordinary. The strong defensive fortress is there, we still need to be cautious..."

Calle said this to Larina. Listening to Carleigh's words, Larina did not respond immediately, but turned her head to look at the fortress in the distance, and murmured after looking at it a few more times.

"The heavily guarded military fortress next to King Prieter's capital, the perfect and extraordinary defense... Interesting..."

At this time, La Ruina was thinking about the role of the military fortress in the distance, and had already had a slight guess. At this moment, another subordinate from the distance came to La Ruina. After being with Kalai, after pointing to one side, he hurriedly said.

"Ms. Larina, someone is coming, driving three carriages uphill, it should be the target!"

Listening to the subordinate's words, Larina and Carleigh were startled, and then walked towards the direction pointed by the subordinate. After walking for a while, they saw the gentle slope of the small hill, At this time, there were three carriages lined up, driving up the uphill path, two of them were large carriages for freight horses, and one was a small carriage for people.

Each of the two wagons was pulled by two horses, driving in front, and driven by two coachmen dressed in ordinary clothes. The goods on the wagons were covered with canvas. It was hard to see what it looked like, but the thick However, the spiritual breath was easily felt by Larina and even other "Sabi" Extraordinary beings present.

This is the feeling that only the spirituality of "sabi" can have!The Nether Coffin Extraordinary present judged this in their hearts, and Larina, who is a Cretaceous Extraordinary, further felt the familiar spirit breath on those goods, and she could feel the presence of the goods she once had. A powerful spirit that has been hunted by hand.

"coming……"

Seeing the carriage slowly driving up the hill in front of her, Larina gritted her teeth secretly, a trace of anger appeared in her expression, but she quickly suppressed it, she turned her head and asked the subordinate who had just reported .

"Is it just these few people?"

"Yes, there are only these few. According to the ghost's report, they are three carriages and three drivers, and there is a passenger behind the last carriage. There is nothing else besides that."

The subordinates reported to La Ruina, and then, La Ruina used the Cretaceous Soul Sensing to perceive the three carriages in front of her. Under her perception, she found that there were no traces of souls on the three drivers. , and there was in the passenger carriage, and she made a judgment in her heart from this sign.

Chapter 330 Meeting

"The three coachmen have no souls, they all seem to be some kind of puppets, the only living person in this convoy, in the compartment of the last carriage..."

Larina stared at the three carriages driving to the open space on the top of the hill. After the small passenger carriage stopped, the door opened. Walked up and down and stood in front of Larina and the others.

This figure is wearing a gray and black robe, the black cloth almost covers the whole body, and the hood is on the head, the shadow of the hood almost covers the whole head, it is not very visible under the shadow Qing's face was still wearing a black mask, and the only thing that could be seen clearly were the shimmering eyes reflected in the shadows.

The figure that almost concealed the features of the whole body stepped out of the carriage, and the eyes under the shadow of the hood scanned the surrounding scenery. After a pause, the figure spoke in a female voice.

"It's really lively, no matter where you can see it or where you can't see it..." the figure said, his tone was indifferent, as if he was just making a simple comment, but between the words, her eyes moved one by one. Looking at the ghosts hiding around her, this action of hers made the members of the Nether Coffin Order stop in their hearts, and they knew in their hearts that the woman in front of them had the ability to see ghosts, and she might also be a " "Sabi" Extraordinary, or other Extraordinary used some hellish means.

"You are... Rogue K?"

After carefully looking at the woman in the gray-black robe in front of her, La Ruina suppressed her emotions and asked, while the woman paused for a while and then nodded and responded slowly.

"Respected lady of the Nether Coffin Order, as you can see, I am the shameless thief in your letter. I have brought the goods as we agreed."

The woman who claimed to be a thief spoke to Larina, and glanced at the goods on the two carriages not far away. Hearing what the thief said, Larina snorted coldly.

"It's the tone in the letter, full of demeanor but shameless and despicable... Heh, I never thought that it would be such a young woman who dared to steal the contents of our coffin... Thief K, which association do you belong to?" ? Where are the rest of your Society now?"

Larina asked the thief like this, and the thief answered softly after a while.

"Ma'am, why do you think I have an association? Why do you think I bring others here?"

"Otherwise? If you don't have the support of other people, just rely on you and these two puppets, aren't you afraid that we will blackmail you? When the time comes, your reward...your life...your soul...one Don't even think about staying."

With cruel words and a menacing expression, Larina stared at the thief in front of her and said, hearing the other's words, the thief's body trembled, and then he opened his gloved hand and answered with a light smile.

"Of course I'm not afraid. I think that no matter how resentful you are towards me, you won't do anything to me here again."

"Hey...why do you think we dare not touch you? For us, it would be the best result if we could bring back your damn thief's soul and goods together." Larina oppressed the thief He spoke in a threatening tone, while the thieves stretched out their hands unhurriedly, pointing to the huge fortress standing in the distance.

"Because of that."

Following the thief's hand and looking towards the distant fortress, Larina and other members of the Order of the Nether Coffin showed a trace of doubt in their eyes, while the thief continued to speak.

"Everyone from Dankdo doesn't know where it is, so allow me to introduce to the tourists from afar the famous local attractions in Tivian, Gale Fortress, which is an important place to defend the capital of Preet. Of course, the military facility is only on the surface, and it also has a more important function than the fortress in the dark, which is to centralize and integrate the secret countermeasures of the entire Priet Kingdom government.

"In other words, it is the heart of the entire Priet secret department. In layman's terms, it is the headquarters of the Priet Security Bureau."

The thief said this to La Ruina and the others. As soon as her words came out, La Ruina's subordinates couldn't help being startled, and then looked at the distant fort in disbelief. Astonished, and although La Ruina had expected it in her heart, after hearing the thief's words, her expression was still slightly frozen.

"Over there...is the lair of Prieter's black dog?"

"Yes, it's been a while since you've been here. You must have noticed the extraordinaryness of that fortress. It's not any other place. It's the location of the Anyin Headquarters. There are several white-ranked garrison captains there. There may even be the presence of Chi Jie sitting in there, and no one in the entire Tivian dares to come to this place to act wildly."

Pointing to the fortress in the distance, the thief said, and then she put her hand on her chest and continued to speak.

"I've made preparations before I came here. Although I may not be able to beat you, if you attack me directly, I guarantee that I will be able to create a very big commotion, a very eye-catching extraordinary trace, and guarantee that there are people sitting in the fortress. The big guys can be taken aback, and then they're all drawn in."

The thief said this to La Ruina. Hearing what the thief said, La Ruina's face darkened, and then she spoke coldly.

"Are you going to... use the method of attracting black dogs to threaten us not to attack you? Do you think those black dogs can catch up?"

"Of course, everyone from the Order of the Nether Coffin of Dankdo, you also know what the signboard of our Prieter Anyin Bureau is, right? The way of the storm inherited from the Prieter royal family is a group of people who can withstand the wind and fly." The fellow, the traveling speed is one of the best among all Extraordinary. Although there are still several kilometers away from the fortress, I believe that if there is any serious situation here, those chalky captains inside will be gone soon. It can fly there, if there is a big shot of the Chicheng rank, maybe it will only take a moment to get there.

"No matter what, no matter if you run on two legs or four, you can't fly fast. If you really want to attack me, then I don't mind if we both enter the game and have a few cups of tea together."

The thief spoke to Larina like this, and after listening to her words, Larina finally understood the reason why the other party chose to trade here, which was to use An's seclusion as a cover to ensure that she could not use force to forcibly black eat.

Indeed, this trick is effective, and the Extraordinary of the Nether Coffin Order has almost no advantage in terms of speed. If a few chalks really fly out of the fortress to arrest people, they will definitely not be able to escape. Not to mention that a place like the General Administration of Anyin must be a place full of big shots.

Larina could tell that what this thief wanted to do...was to reach a smooth deal, and there was really no need to gamble on her side.

"Heh... well, don't let the black dogs get involved in the transactions between the associations, come on, thief K, let's start the transaction." Larina walked to the small table on the side of the open space. On the side, she indicated that she would not use force to force it, and the transaction between the two parties continued. Seeing this scene, Nephness under the hood and robe was slightly relieved, and she walked over there.

Seeing Nephness walking over, a gloomy look appeared on Larina's face. She stared at Kalai in the distance, and Kalai nodded secretly as if understanding.

After seeing Kalai's performance, Larina focused her attention on Nephness who was walking.

Don't think I can't cure you without confrontation, thief.

Larina was thinking like this in her heart, and at this time, Dorothy's voice echoed in Nephness's mind.

Chapter 330 IX Media

In the northwest suburb of Tivian, far outside Gale Keep.

During the daytime, on the rolling hills, in the clearing between the trees, the transaction between Nephness and the Order of the Nephrase has now officially begun, and at this time Dorothy is also sitting in the distance. On the carriage, use the perspective of Nephness and other small corpses to observe the transaction scene, and use the information channel to tell her how to answer Larina's words in Nephness's mind.

That's right, what Nephness said to Larina before, and even some actions, were all said and done after getting Dorothy's on-the-spot instructions. The manipulation of living puppets belongs to the extraordinary ability of the puppet master. When protected by the "shadow", it will be illuminated by the "lamp".

But the consultation channel is different. The ability of the consultation channel comes from the mysterious system that Dorothy comes with. For today's transaction, Dorothy has done experiments... When she uses the consultation channel to communicate with others, It will not be abnormally irradiated by ordinary Huijian lamps, but living puppet manipulation and corpse puppet manipulation will.

Regarding this situation, Dorothy thought at first that the detection effect of the "lamp" on extraordinary power only had an effect on the extraordinary power of this world, and the system did not belong to this world, so it could not be detected.

But in the subsequent experiment, she was wrong. Dorothy used the ability exchanged by the system for testing. She used the radiance lamp to detect the use of her dragon roar, and found that the release time was slow and the dragon When roaring, Hui Jian Deng actually responded. The moment the dragon roar was released, Hui Jian Deng showed an abnormal purple color. Under Hui Jian Deng's detection, the dragon roar was considered to be a kind of "enlightenment" Extraordinary ability.

After the experiment, Dorothy was a little surprised. Facts have proved that abilities from other worlds can also be detected by Kagumi Lamp, but the system's built-in abilities such as consultation channels cannot. Rosie was troubled for a while, and after thinking hard for a while, she came up with two possible outcomes.

One is that Dorothy's previous conclusion was correct. The detection of the "lamp" can only have an effect on the extraordinary abilities of this world. The reason why the abilities redeemed by Dorothy can be detected is because in essence After coming to this world, the abilities brought about by the knowledge of these alien worlds have been integrated into the power system of this world and become the extraordinary abilities of this world.

The best example is the Sunshine Gun. The Sunshine Gun is activated by faith in the world of Black Soul. It is a miracle to imitate Sunshine Gwen, but Gwen does not exist in my own world. The power structure of the two worlds is different. It is similar, so the sunshine gun in this world has become dependent on some kind of skill activated by the "lamp", and the energy consumed is the "lamp" of this world, which must also be the power of this world.

In the same way, although the normal release of the Dragon Roar does not need to consume spiritual power, the enhanced release after complete mastery does need to consume "revelation". Therefore, the knowledge of other worlds such as the Dragon Roar that Dorothy is currently using... is actually controlled by the system. The result after localization, in a sense, is the ability of this world, and the ability of the system itself is the real outsider.

Second, the ability of the system may also be the power of this world. The system can link to other worlds and receive prayers. I can pretend to be a god through it, and I can let it replace the guide to complete the promotion ceremony...I can consult it For some of the problems, I can even remind myself that when I do certain things, it may attract the attention of divine beings...

All these signs seem to prove that the system has a certain connection with this world. It may also be some kind of power in this world, but it is very special...or...high position...

The above is when Dorothy is verifying whether the consultation channel of the system can be detected by the "light", and by the way, she has some thoughts about the essence of the system. This mysterious system is still too little understood in essence, so I didn't spend too much time exploring it in depth.

Returning to the scene of the transaction, in the clearing on the top of the hill, Larina had already arrived at the wooden table, and Nephness in a long robe followed closely behind Larina. In front of them, the two of them are looking at each other across a small wooden table.

"Then, let's see if both of us have fulfilled our previous promise..."

Larina said so, and then put her hand on the lantern on the table to start it, and the lantern immediately emitted a warm orange light that ordinary gas lamps cannot emit. This is obviously an emblem lamp .

The faint yellow light shone on Nephness and Larina, and the spiritual brilliance of the "lamp" was testing them. Any Extraordinary items, sigils, spiritual storages, and even running Extraordinary effects, As long as there is no shelter of "shadow", no one can escape the illumination of this radiance lamp.

After the Kagumi lamp illuminated for a while, the indicator light above gave off a slight red light. After seeing it, Larina asked Nephness.

"You have extraordinary traces of 'cup' on your body...what is it?"

"Ah, this, it's just a prop to manipulate those meat puppets..."

Listening to Larina's words, Nephness said this, and then she stretched out her thin gloved hand, showed a ring on it, and took it off, and it turned out that it was standing in the distance. Two of the three coachmen on the ground lost their vitality and fell to the ground. Then Nephness took out another button from her body, and the last coachman standing also fell to the ground.

"There are so many goods in this batch. It would be difficult for me to transport them all without some help." As she spoke, Nephness stepped aside and placed the two meat puppet manipulation props in her hands under the light of the Huijian lamp. on the ground, and then she returned to the wooden table, in front of Larina, and at this time the Huijian lamp shone on her body, and there was no other color on the indicator lamp, which indicated that Nephness’s There are no other Extraordinary effects running on her body at this time, and in Larina's eyes, Nephness's soul can already be felt, and she does not use "Shadow" Extraordinary items to shield the Kami Lamp .

'This thief is able to perceive spirit bodies, so he should also be a 'Sabi' Extraordinary.Holding two meat puppet manipulation props, it seems to have a little connection with the 'cup'...could it be her...'

Looking at the scene in front of her, Larina had a thought in her heart, a thought of guessing the identity in front of her. As a Cretaceous Extraordinary, she has a certain understanding of the hidden world, the spirituality of "cup" and "sabi". Combination, at the first time, people can think that there are only two results, one is the filthy order of the Afterbirth Order, and the other is the treasure-thief associations active in northern Uffiga and ruins around the world, and what this one is doing now Because, obviously, it is closer to those greedy and treasure-robbing associations.

"Okay... I thought who would dare to be so bold, it turned out to be the group of thieves..."

Staring at Nephness in front of her, Larina thought so in her heart. At this time, she had already guessed in her heart whether the identity of the person in front of her was a member of a treasure-thieving association. You know, this group originated from the North There are thieves all over the world. Although their main job is tomb robbery, they have a lot of side jobs. Theft and blackmail targeting other extraordinary associations or forces are also common.

"So now...you have confirmed it, and I have brought the goods, so what about your reward?" At this time, Nephness said to Larina, listening to Nefness's words, Larry Namo kept silent, and waved to a subordinate in the distance, and then that subordinate quickly ran over with a small bag. After receiving the small bag, Larina took out one thing after another from it. on the table.

These things are several bundles of common pound banknotes with the largest denomination, three books of different thicknesses, old and new, and a crown of bones and a badge with one eye closed. After placing these things one by one , Larina held the emblem light to illuminate them again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she spoke.

"Here is the ransom you want, six thousand pounds, three secret books, and the holy emblem of the Immortal Hades. Hmph, as a thief, do you also want to honor His Majesty Hades' holy vow?"

Chapter 330 IX Media

"It's about the same. After all, in our line of work, we deal with dead people every day. Holding this feels like being covered by His Majesty Pluto, and the mind is more at ease."

After listening to Dorothy's words echoing in her mind, Nephness held her breath and responded to Larina, and then wanted to reach out to the things on the table, but was stopped by Larina. .

"Wait a minute, your goods have been inspected, but ours have not yet been inspected."

Larina said so, and then she winked at the surrounding men, and then all the men started to carry the boxes, and some of them even called out a few skeletons from the forest to help.

In this way, under the busy work of the skeleton puppet and La Ruina's men, the boxes on the two carriages were unloaded one by one and placed on the ground, and La Ruina's men began to check each box.

After Larina's men opened the box, they inspected the condition of the spirit coffin inside, checked the ghost alert on it and the condition of the spirit inside the coffin, and carefully inspected the box and coffin with the exception of their own extraordinary traces. , Are there any other extraordinary traces attached to it, so as to avoid such things as being tracked by road signs, and the iron coffin with wooden hooves inside it is even more important to check.

More than 40 boxes of goods need to be inspected one by one. Nephness and Larina are also watching the inspection of the goods, and their attention is focused on the goods.

And at this moment, behind a tree behind Nephness, a figure was hiding there. From time to time, he poked his head out to peep at Nephness in the distance. That was Kalai.

Callai, Larina's subordinate, had quietly hid in the dark during the inspection of the goods at some point. He hid in the dark with a dignified expression while observing Nephness who was not far away. , while pulling out a small thumb-sized bone blade from his body that was sharpened extremely sharply.

Holding the bone blade, Kalai's eyes were fixed on Nephness, and then he urged the ghost attached to the bone blade to make the bone blade float out of thin air. The extremely small bone blade shot straight at Nephness in the distance, but its target was not Nephness herself, but the robe she was wearing.

The flying height of this bone blade is very low. Under Kalai's control, it flew towards Nephness almost close to the ground. This bone blade did not attack Nephness directly, but Cut off a small corner of the hem of Neveu's robe at a tricky angle, and dropped a small piece of fabric to the ground, and quickly returned after being stabbed. Neveness only felt that her robe seemed to be inadvertently It was a slight sway, thinking it was the wind, she didn't pay much attention to it.

In this way, with the passage of time, the forty or so boxes of goods on the scene were all inspected, and all the boxes were immediately re-closed after being inspected, and coffins were reloaded into them.

"Ms. Larina, we have finished the inspection. There are 42 soul-holding coffins in 42 boxes in total. There are almost no problems. I haven't seen any extra extraordinary traces. Those spirits are also in the soul-holding coffins, except for one Other than signs of being opened, everything else is perfectly fine."

Standing in front of Larina, one of her subordinates reported to her. After listening to the report, Larina looked at Nephness who was at the side, and after a slight pause, Nephness replied openly.

"We were just trying to see if we could open a coffin without alerting your ghosts, but we failed. This is just an attempt to challenge ourselves as a thief, so don't worry about it."

Nephness said that the soul-holding coffins that showed signs of being opened were originally attempted by Capac in the warehouse, and it was precisely because of this opening that Dorothy discovered these coffins The ghost warning above.

Listening to Nephness's words, Larina didn't respond immediately, she glanced at the wooden boxes piled up beside her, and then spoke.

"Leave the one that shows signs of being driven, and move all the others to our car for transportation."
