Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

But fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen. After Nephness saw the three people talking in a language she hadn't heard, the soul of the old man who was formed in the form of smoke nodded and collapsed, and then spread Langdon walked towards him after receiving the pipe from Capac.

"Miss Thieves, next time, please allow the sojourner in this sub-soul to possess you, and then use your body to exert his ability and perform the soul-calling ceremony."

With that said, Brandon passed the pipe in his hand to Nephness, and Nephness looked at the pipe in front of her, and opened her mouth in astonishment.

"Eh......"

......

Finally, after some preparatory work is completed, the tentative soul-calling ceremony is about to begin.

In the alley opposite Lanzhi Street, under the dim light, a magic circle of "Ji" drawn by black coal ash is floating on the ground. In the center of the circle is a broken pen and a piece of paper. Cloth stained with blood, Nephness in a black overcoat was sitting cross-legged in front of the circle with her eyes closed, holding a small pipe in her hand.

Brandon and Capac stood not far away and looked at Nephness in front of the magic circle. After waiting for a while, Nephness slowly opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, Nephness's temperament changed drastically. Her pupils became cloudy, and her complexion became calm. All of a sudden, with a trace of fatigue and wisdom, the whole person looks much older all of a sudden.

When he met Nephness's gaze, Kapak couldn't help but took two steps back in fright. He felt that when Nephness looked at him, it was like Uta was looking at him.

"Spirit master... Can you allow yourself to accommodate the spirit and match the spirit to exert a stronger power? Sure enough, there are people in this world who are adapting to the power of the spirit in different ways. what......'

Kapak sighed in his heart, and at this time Nephness, who had already relied on Uta's soul division, had already started the soul summoning ceremony. She raised her hands and started calling in the spirit seal language that she had never learned before. .

"Barrett Despenser, spirit wandering on the dark road, I call you here..."

Before the magic circle, Neveu opened her mouth and started calling with an ethereal voice, and began to chant ancient incantations, and began to summon the soul of Barrett, but after the calling lasted for a short time, she suddenly frowned, and then stopped Spiritual spells.

Seeing this situation, Dorothy was going to manipulate Brandon to make inquiries, while Nephness spoke in advance with a serious tone.

"I'm already sensing that soul, but he's being pulled by other forces besides me. Now...it seems like I'm not the only one who is summoning this spirit."

Chapter 370

South Tivian, Bishop's Square.

On the turbulent New Year's Eve, under the dark night, in the alleys around the Bishop's Square, a simple soul-calling ceremony was being held, but encountered a little unexpected factor.

"It's not just you, teacher, who are summoning this soul...are there other people who are also holding soul-calling rituals, calling for that spirit?"

Looking at Nephness, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and supported by Uta's soul, Kapak asked, and Nephness nodded slowly, and murmured in a vicissitudes of life.

"Yes, I have already found this new spirit of the dead named Barrett Despenser in the deep river, but when I found him, I found that he was being connected and pulled by another force , that force is trying to bring him to a certain place in the present world, which is the performance of being summoned."

Looking forward with turbid eyes, Nephness, who has the soul of Uta on her body, spoke leisurely. Her words were heard by Dorothy's corpse puppet Brandon, and then Dorothy's eyebrows slightly frowned. wrinkled.

"Balai's characteristic soul is being summoned by other people now? Who is holding a ceremony to recruit his soul? The royal family or the Anyin Bureau? No... it shouldn't be them. They just got the news of the assassination of the royal family. It shouldn’t be so fast to collect media and prepare Extraordinary, this soul call for Barrett’s soul started before us, and the other party may be the soul call that started right after Barrett’s death.

'So...the soul caller should be someone from the eight-pointed side. If their purpose of assassinating Barrett is because his research on the mirror moon god touched their secrets, then killing people is not enough. The soul must also be destroyed. Otherwise, if the Anyin Bureau summons Barlett's soul afterwards, and get some key information about the Mirror Moon God Statue from his mouth, Anyin will definitely pay more attention to the Mirror Moon God Statue. Research, then the effect of this assassination will be greatly reduced.

'So, before the eight-pointed nest assassinated Barrett, it should have prepared a soul-calling ceremony for Barrett somewhere, as long as Barrett died, the soul-calling ceremony should be carried out. Whether to seal it up or refine it directly, it will make the Anyin Bureau completely useless, so their plan to completely seal it up will be considered complete."

Squatting on the side of the street with her knees in her arms, Dorothy frowned and thought in her heart. As a large-scale association, the Nest of Eight Points must have its own "Sabi" Extraordinary to provide soul-calling services, and From the information obtained by Kapak before, it can be known that Sado and the others were tricked by an aborigine named Banu to come here to help Bajian carry out terrorist attacks, and Banu was previously identified as the coffin of the underworld. People of the religious order, so the possibility of cooperation between the eight-pointed nest and the order of the coffin of the underworld is quite high in this matter. In this case, the coffin of the underworld may also provide soul-calling services for the eight-pointed.

Based on the above analysis, Dorothy knew that this summoning should be a follow-up to the eight-pointed nest's plan to assassinate Duke Barrett. It was carefully prepared and carried out immediately after Barrett's death.

"Your Excellency, what is the state of Barrett's soul now? If someone summons the soul before us, will this soul be rushed by them?"

Dorothy asked Brandon to ask Nephness, who relied on Uta, and Nephness answered slowly after a sigh of relief.

"No... When the soul is summoned at the same time, it will follow the side with stronger traction, instead of following whoever comes first. The strength of this traction is mainly determined by two factors, one The first is the relevance and integrity of the media, and the second is the quality of the soul caller.

"I can feel it and analyze it. The medium used in the other soul-calling ceremony is much more complete and powerful than the one I used. But the quality of the guy who presides over the ceremony is nothing more than a The level of an ordinary shaman is far worse than mine, so at present we are in a fairly balanced state of traction for that spirit. He can't recruit that spirit, and neither can I.

"If I used my real body to hold the soul-calling ceremony, even with this little medium, he would not be able to compete with me as a great shaman, but unfortunately, the one who is performing the ceremony now is only the one possessed by my split soul. Just a little girl."

Uta, who was leaning on Nephness, spoke slowly to Brandon. Listening to his words, Dorothy felt relieved at first, thankful that Barrett's soul didn't die because of being summoned by Bajian first. There was no room for recovery, and then began to think about how to break the current deadlock.

"Your Excellency, how should we defeat each other now and summon Barrett's soul to our side?"

Dorothy continued to ask Brandon to ask, but Uta, who was leaning on Nephness, answered quickly.

"It's very simple, you just need to increase the traction, but it's best to hurry up. Although my soul is higher than the opponent, it's just a soul after all. I can't stay with him for too long."

Nephness said so, and after listening to her words, Dorothy began to seriously think about ways to enhance the traction force. According to what Uta said before, the traction force to the soul in the spiritual summoning ceremony is mainly controlled by the medium and the ritual host According to the current situation, it may be difficult to improve the aspect of the host of the ceremony, so we can only start with the media.

The medium is divided into material medium and letter medium. In terms of material medium, Dorothy herself used Barrett’s new dead blood. According to Kapak’s words, this is already an excellent material medium. If you want to improve it, you must use Barrett’s Moving the whole body here, but this is impossible, now No. [-] Lanzhi Street has been blocked, and a large number of official Beyonders will arrive soon, it is too risky to move Barrett's body at this time.

So the best thing to get is the media. Dorothy only knows Barrett's name and the time of his death. If she can learn more, she might be able to break the current balance.

But the question is...how can I get more information about Barrett?

Dorothy was thinking in her heart like this. Not long after, she had some ideas in her mind. She squatted on the side of the street and began to close her eyes and contact Vanya in prayer.

......

In the messy hall of No. [-] Lanzhi Street, Fanya was directing the subordinates of her medical point to clean up the scene together with the remaining guards, treating those wounded who were seriously injured but not yet dead, when all of a sudden She once again felt Dorothy's words resounding out of thin air in her heart, and then she was slightly taken aback.

"Miss Dorothea, do you want new information about Duke Barrett? It seems that their work is not over yet..."

Frozen in place, Vanya thought this in her heart, but soon she recovered and started to act according to Dorothy's suggestion.

"Everyone, who among you is the guard of Her Highness the Princess? Who is the guard of the Duke? I have something to ask you?"

Fanya said to the surrounding guards that the princess and the Duke's guards were not all destroyed, except for a few personal bodyguards who were very close to the place where the violent wind erupted, the rest were farther away from the eruption site, and those who were not on the eruption floor Many of the guards on board were seriously injured, and now most of them are gathered together to receive treatment from Vanya.

Chapter 370

As soon as Fanya finished speaking, the wounded who were lying on the stretcher on the ground and were not unconscious raised their hands, and told where they belonged, and one of the guards wrapped in bandages said tremblingly.

"This nun... what are you going to ask us?"

Listening to the injured guard's words, Vanya continued to explain.

"It's like this. Since the better treatment team from the church is coming soon, I need to do some preparatory work for their treatment. In order to better target the medicine for everyone, I need to understand the wounded, including Her Royal Highness. Some basic physical conditions, mainly life age and medical history.

"In addition, because we may need to help the Anyin Bureau conduct a preliminary examination of the corpse in the future, in order to facilitate the examination, we also need to understand the basic situation of the deceased. The deceased is mainly His Royal Highness, himself, and his close relationship with His Royal Highness. Guards, they are your colleagues and objects of service, in order to facilitate the follow-up work, please cooperate with us to understand the situation."

With a gentle tone, Fanya said this to the wounded in front of her eyes, before the large forces from the Church and Security Bureau arrived, Fanya is now the medical leader and the highest official commander here, So the injured guards of the princesses began to cooperate with her to register the basic situation of the wounded and the dead. Since Vanya's reasons were legitimate enough, her actions did not arouse any suspicion.

After all, the doctor asks the patient's name, age, and physical condition...Forensic doctors ask people around the deceased about the deceased's specific physical condition and age...This is a very legitimate thing.

In this way, Vanya gathered information among the injured guards, and after a while, she collected key information about Duke Barrett, Duke Barrett's age, from the injured Duke's guards.

After collecting the age information, Vanya immediately prayed secretly in her heart, prayed to Aka, and prayed to Dorothy for the information she had obtained.

......

In the cold wind on the side of the street, Dorothy, who was sitting with her knees hugged, calculated in her heart with chattering teeth after receiving Vanya's information.

“嘶...巴,巴莱特的年龄是64岁,去年8月12日是时候举行了64岁的寿宴,今天使是辉光历1360年的第一天,去年是1359年,合算一下也就是他的出生日期是辉光历1295年的8月12日......”

In the cold wind, Dorothy calculated Barrett's date of birth. This date is very likely to be true, because with the strength Barrett has shown, he is not the kind of Extraordinary who can have a long lifespan .

Being able to be assassinated in this way, Barrett's rank as a Extraordinary will not surpass that of Chalk, and Dorothy does not understand the rank of Chalk to the extent that it can extend lifespan extremely long. The hundreds of years old that Dorothy knows now The age monsters are Aldrich and Luku, the disabled gold and the naked, and Beverly, the clockwork man of unknown strength.

Based on Dorothy's current Extraordinary experience, she can judge that if there is no special method, the lifespan of the Extraordinary below the chalk should not be much longer than that of ordinary people, and once they reach the red achievement, they seem to be able to live for hundreds of years. Cheng seems to be a relatively large leap.

After calculating the date, Dorothy quickly controlled Brandon and informed Nephness.

"Your Excellency, I already know more media..."

In the alley, Brandon spoke to Nephness, who was in the state of Uta Wind Soul, and the other party nodded slightly after listening to the new media information, and began to raise his hand, start again Recite the incantations of the spirit seal language, use the new medium to strengthen the power of the soul-calling ceremony, and the effect is immediate.

"Very good, the soul caller who was fighting against me can no longer resist my power, that spirit has been successfully drawn by me, wait a moment, he will appear immediately."

After reading the new incantation, Nephness said in a vicissitudes of life, listening to her words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, and then patiently waited for the result of the spirit call.

After another three or four minutes, with a gust of wind blowing in the alley, a blurry phantom gradually emerged in the center of the spiritual circle, and it became clearer and clearer.

After a while, Barrett's pale translucent spirit body appeared in the center of the magic circle. His face was dull, he was wearing a dress for the New Year's party, his body was full of scars from sharp knives, and there was a scar on his neck. A deep cut, just as it was before death.

"I have already recruited the spirit you want, if you have any questions, just ask, I will use the edict to let him answer you, don't worry about not being able to ask.

"But you'd better ask quickly. The soul caller who fought against me before didn't give up the soul call. He is still interfering with me. I'm afraid I can't last long with just this one soul." Nephni, who was relied on by Uta After hearing her words, Dorothy was heartbroken, and Brandon said thankfully.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

After thanking him, Brandon faced the dull-looking Barrett Spirit in the magic circle, and asked.

"Your Excellency, I heard that you are doing research on the Mirror Moon Goddess?"

"Yes." Spirit of Barrett simply replied, and Brandon continued to ask.

"So how is your research going? Are there any important results?"

"Of course, according to the clues provided by the Security Bureau, I visited all the statues of the mirror moon gods controlled by them, and became deeply interested in these statues all over Pulitzer. Regarding the relationship between Priet, I entered the Forbidden Book Room of the Royal Family in Yuelan Palace, and searched for various materials. I first started from..."

"Stop, don't say too much, you just need to tell me one thing, that is, is the Goddess Mirror Moon the pure-color Lord God of the 'Shadow' domain? If so, do you have her holy emblem?"

Dorothy asked Brandon to interrupt Barrett's Spirit and said that when she saw that Barrett's Spirit was about to give an answer like an academic report, she suddenly realized that asking the research results directly would cause the other party to start a long speech , so he stopped him immediately, and then turned to ask the key questions he needed.

After all, the current Uta is only using a ray of soul fragments to summon souls, and the time for summoning souls is limited. Moreover, if Barlett directly talks about the results, he will inevitably talk about the knowledge of poison knowledge. Hearing the knowledge of poison knowledge directly doesn't matter to him, but Uta can't bear it. .

After being interrupted by Brandon and asking again, Barrett's Spirit paused for a moment, then continued to answer.

"In my research, it is almost certain that this goddess who once had great influence in Prieter had a powerful sect that studied the field of 'Shadow' in the Third Epoch. With a master-slave god structure, the Mirror Moon Goddess is undoubtedly the master god of the 'Shadow' domain.

"As for His holy emblem, I have also done research. When I was excavating the ruins in the Razor Mountains, I unearthed an item suspected to be the holy emblem of the Mirror Moon Lady, and now this item is in the research chamber of my mansion. "

Chapter 370 Burial Soul

South Tivian, Bishop's Square.

On a cold New Year's night, in the alley on the edge of the Bishop's Square, Barrett Despenser's translucent pale body was floating above the soul-calling ceremony. With a dull look, he irresistibly answered the questions asked by Dorothy.

"Sure enough...the Mirror Moon Goddess depicted in the Mirror Moon Statue is the pure-color Lord God of 'Shadow'. My previous guess was correct, and Barrett actually dug out the holy emblem of 'Shadow'. In the back room of his house!'

Dorothy, who was curled up in the cold wind on the side of the street, couldn't help feeling excited when she heard the news of the holy emblem from the mouth of Barrett's ghost. The holy emblem of "Shadow" she had been looking for until now is finally available. The exact clue is up!

Calming down her excited mood, Dorothy took a deep breath, then controlled the corpse puppet Brandon to continue speaking to Barrett who was in the ceremony.

"Then, Your Highness, where is your mansion, and where is the holy emblem of the Mirror Moon Goddess in your mansion?"

Under Dorothy's control, Brandon continued to ask Barrett's ghost, and Barrett's ghost answered immediately after a slight pause.

"That's my villa in the southwestern outskirts of Tivian. The specific location is north of Shield Hill and south of Gray Grass Avenue. The cultural relics suspected to be the sacred emblem of the Mirror Moon Lady are stored in the research secret room of the villa. The entrance to the secret room Located on the first floor of the villa, at the end of the corridor west of the living room.

"If you want to activate the entrance of the secret passage, you need to open the dial of the clock hanging on the wall at the entrance, turn the hour hand on the dial to 12 o'clock, the minute hand to 3 o'clock, and the second hand to 6 o'clock, and then the time on the dial will return to its original position At the right moment, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets will also open, and the Holy Emblem is in the drawer at the upper right corner of the main table of the Chamber of Secrets, and the drawer is not locked."

With a still dull expression, Barrett's ghost slowly spoke. After hearing such detailed information, Dorothy nodded in satisfaction. With such detailed guidance, she can spend time looking for things in the future. Spend less time.

After getting the most crucial information, Dorothy asked Brandon to speak to the Barrett ghost to ask some other key questions.

"His Royal Highness, do you still know how you died? What happened in No. [-] Lanzhi Street when you died? Did you see the murderer who murdered you?"

Brandon asked Barrett's ghost like this, but the other party was silent for a while after hearing the question, and then spoke.

"The situation at that time was very sudden and chaotic. I actually didn't know what happened. I still remember that I was standing in the hall protected by the guards looking at the paintings, and suddenly I heard a sharp sound coming from behind. Yell, when I look back..."

Just when Barrett's ghost was about to continue talking, his spirit body suddenly became extremely unstable, and began to flicker and flicker like a picture on a black and white TV with poor signal, and It is distorted and deformed from time to time, and the voice of the whole person is also stuttering, and there is also a noisy rustling sound, which is completely inaudible.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

Seeing the abnormality on Barrett's ghost, Dorothy asked Nephness who was performing the ceremony, and Nephness, who was attached to Uta's soul, gave a leisurely answer.

"My split soul can't hold on any longer. I told you that the soul-calling ceremony held by the soul-split won't last long. The traction of my words to this spirit is declining, and the ritual of summoning him on the other side doesn't work. If it is terminated, the traction of the other ritual to this spirit is still there.

"To put it simply, because of the decline of my traction force, the other spirit summoning ceremony aimed at this spirit started to fight against me again. Because it was involved by two equal forces of traction, this spirit began to be in this state. unstable state."

Nephness, who was relying on Uta's soul, said to Dorothy, and Dorothy couldn't help being startled when she heard her words. Before, Nephness had told her that this kind of relying on the soul was coming Although the soul-calling ceremony held is still in place, it is very unstable, and the duration is shorter than the normal soul-calling ceremony, so Dorothy first asked herself the key information she needed.

Due to time constraints, the traction of Neveuth's soul-calling ceremony has dropped, while the ceremony held by Bajian has not summoned the soul, but it has continued. Now the traction of Neveuth's side has dropped to Heba At the same level as the other side, Barrett's ghost, affected by the two opposing traction forces, began to appear abnormal, so that he couldn't answer Dorothy's question normally.

Moreover, being unable to answer the question is just a trivial matter, and Neveuu's continued decline in traction will cause another consequence that will be even more serious.

"So...if the traction force on our side continues to decline, it is very likely that Barrett's spirit will be snatched back by the opponent?"

Dorothy asked Brandon to ask Neveuth, but Neveuu nodded slowly and then spoke.

"That's right... the decline of my side's traction is continuous, and the opponent's traction will not change for a long time, so it is inevitable that my side will lose control."

"Then is there any way to increase the traction force on our side again? If it can't be improved, it's okay to simply prevent the other party from summoning souls."

Brandon continued to speak, while Nephness replied with a tired breath.

"Now my split soul can't last long, and it's useless to provide stronger traction. After a while, the ceremony will collapse, and this spirit will be recruited away.

"But if it's simply to prevent the other party from summoning souls, I have a method here, that is, I convert the ceremony, use the power of the shaman to connect to the great soul, build a passage in the deep river, and convert the ritual of summoning souls into a funeral Soul ritual, I will send this spirit through this passage into the depths of the Youhe River, near the place of the great soul.

"The great soul exerts traction on all souls all the time. For the living, this traction is very weak and negligible, but for the dead souls, this traction is very obvious. Entering the You River under the traction, and returning to the great soul.

"The deeper this kind of traction goes into Youhe, the closer it is to the great soul, the stronger it will be. This traction will be extremely powerful when it is a little closer to him. This spirit will return under the traction of the great soul. No human pull can compete with a great soul, and that includes me."

Nephness, who was relying on Uta to divide the soul, said wearily. Dorothy understood what she meant when she heard it. Time to change the nature of the ceremony, let it change from calling the soul to burying the soul, sending the soul to a place close to the great soul in one breath, and letting it be led back by the great soul. The traction of ordinary mortal soul calling rituals cannot compete with the great soul Yes, so the soul must be taken away by the great soul, and when the soul finally returns, any spiritual summoning ceremony will be invalid.
