Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Didn't you make a promise before? Call the soul immediately after Barrett's death, and it will take less than half an hour. How many hours has Barrett been dead now? What about your soul? What about your information? ?”

In the bloody empty hall, a man in a black windbreaker and a mask almost roared at the human-faced spider on his hand, his words were full of unconcealable anger, and the human-faced spider in his hand After experiencing the man's scolding, the spider was silent for a while, and then the human face pattern on it began to distort, and a slightly hoarse male voice came out.

"Don't get excited, Keke, listen to me, this time our plan must have been exposed, there are other associations making trouble, not only my side, but also Jeffrey and Belitt's side Big mistake."

"I don't care about the situation of Belitt and the others! I only know that your mission is to give me the information about his laboratory after Barrett's death from his soul! Now Barrett is dead! What about the information? Do you want us to find something here to find the dawn, and then run into the hunters who rushed over, right? Don’t you have a spirit conjurer specially invited from the coffin? There is an extra support company Can't do this well?"

The man named Kenke said to the man-faced spider in his hand without changing his anger. From his attitude, it can be seen that this person is naturally irritable. Facing his violent colleagues, the man-faced spider on the other side The leader of the Nest of Eight Points seemed to be suppressing his anger and gritted his teeth in response.

"Listen Kenk... the situation is that we are being targeted! Targeted by a 'cup' association! Except for 'Night Devils', whether it is Belitt's side... ..Jeffrey's side... or my side, have been targeted! Our soul-calling has no effect, even the soul-caller from the coffin of the underworld has not recruited Barrett's soul, according to He said that Barrett's spirit has been being pulled by other forces. He has been pulling it until his spirituality is exhausted. It is obvious that they came prepared. It is completely meaningless for you to blame me now! You Instead of complaining to me here, spend more time looking around now!"

The man-faced spider responded to Keke like this, listening to what the man-faced spider said, Kenke took a few breaths to ease his emotions, and then continued to grit his teeth and speak.

"I've searched all over his house, whether it's listening to the ground or seeking breath...but I haven't found any clues. His research room has a fairly complete extraordinary detection defense , unless I personally ask Barrett for clues, it's hard for me to find out where it is.

"The task of finding Barrett's research room... But the spider tooth priest personally entrusted it to me. It is extremely important. If the task fails, we are both responsible! Don't think about getting rid of it!"

Keke responded to the man-faced spider with a serious expression. Hearing Keke's response, the man-faced spider was silent for a while, and then continued to speak.

"It's impossible to summon Barrett's soul now, so how about...you continue to look over there, I will report the current situation to the priest, and see how he makes a decision."

"Okay... If this is the case, then I will look for it again. If I can't find it, I will burn the house and retreat. Although I can't burn the research room, I can give those The black dog caused a little trouble afterwards."

After Keke finished speaking, he ended the conversation with the man-faced spider, and then the man-faced spider slowly crawled back into the clothes from the sleeve.

After recovering the human-faced spider, Kenke began to frown. He quickly left the foyer and went to other places in the villa to direct his subordinates to continue searching. The corpse of the maid with big eyes saw it, and it was also seen by Dorothy.

......

"I didn't expect it... These guys haven't found out where the secret room is? It seems that the choice of Barrett's ghost for soul burial is correct..."

On the wilderness road several kilometers away from the villa, Dorothy, who was sitting on the carriage, murmured after the corpse puppet had investigated the information on the Barrett villa. Nakahara's anxiety and heaviness suddenly eased a lot.

"It seems that Barrett's insurance measures are a bit good. I was forced by this group of people for an hour and couldn't find it. In this way, I still have a chance to enter the secret room to get the holy emblem."

Dorothy thought fortunately in her heart that through the detection of the corpse puppet, she obtained some very useful information at this time, for example, something called "Night Demon".

'Night Demon... This is Bajian's hole card in this operation, bypassing my vigilance, and finally successfully assassinated Barrett's assassin...I didn't expect the famous newspaper above Tivian Killer.'

Dorothy, who often reads newspapers, must have seen the name Night Devil. Since the middle of last year, news of his killings has been published in newspapers every once in a while. It mainly targets the upper class. This night devil committed the crime for more than half a year without being caught, and now he actually assassinated a duke.

'At present, it seems that this night devil may be a powerful and extraordinary assassin trained by the eight-pointed nest, but the problem is that he has been committing crimes for more than half a year, and he has killed many people, so he should not be shy about doing it. But why did you use him as a trump card in the last operation? Since the night devil is so powerful, it will save a lot of trouble to directly dispatch the night devil to kill the Duke from the beginning... and the previous night devil Are those people who are also instigated by Bajian?'

Dorothy was thinking about the night devil in her heart, but she didn't continue to think deeply like this, but instead focused on the current Barrett's villa, which she should be most concerned about right now. place.

"You can ignore the night devil's matter for the time being. The more critical point now is how to sneak into the secret room under the noses of these guys. The current situation does not allow me to wait slowly. I must hurry up." Action will do...'

Dorothy continued to think in her heart that in the face of the eight-pointed killer who couldn't find the secret room, the safest way for her was to wait slowly, because the hunters would come sooner or later, and the killer in the villa didn't care. If you find something, you will have to leave sooner or later.

After the eight-pointed people gave up and left, Dorothy used the corpse puppet to enter the secret room, taking advantage of the gap before the hunters came, and took away the materials in the secret room together with the holy emblem. Rosie can take the least risk to enter the secret room and get the holy emblem.

However, after Dorothy heard that Keke set fire to the villa if he couldn't find anything, she dismissed this idea. The entrance may be destroyed by fire, making it difficult for Dorothy to enter the secret room.

Chapter 370 Mixing In

Dorothy has seen that this villa has a lot of inflammable materials, and there is even an underground wine cellar that stores a large number of wine barrels. With this large pile of wine as fuel, the entire villa will be ignited by fire in a short time .Under the fire, Dorothy's corpse will be difficult to move, the mechanism at the entrance of the secret room may be damaged due to the high temperature, and the whole house may also be burned down. At that time, Dorothy will also burn down the villa that has been burned into ruins. It is difficult to enter the secret room under the ruins.

On the other hand, it is unrealistic for Dorothy to start a head-on battle against the group of killers in the villa right now, not to mention the large number of opponents, and Keke, the leader, does not seem to be an ordinary small character.

Listening to the tone of Kenke's previous speech, it seems that in this operation with Bajian, the person who performed the soul call and the person who performed the assassination are at the same level, and they are both responsible for an existence called the Spider Fang Priest. So there's a good chance he's a Cretaceous vampire.

Without using any teammates, it is still quite difficult for Dorothy to deal with a chalk vampire with just a corpse puppet, so for Dorothy, confronting the opponent head-on is not a good choice.

So now Dorothy's main goal is to find a way to sneak in while the eight-pointed people are still searching the secret room, but fortunately, with a pile of corpses scattered in the villa, this goal is not Difficult to achieve.

Without thinking too much, Dorothy immediately started her own actions. She alternately controlled the many corpses scattered in the villa, using their senses to get acquainted with the general situation in the villa.

Then, Dorothy found the masked dead body of the eight-pointed killers lying outside the back door of the villa. A duke's villa, after paying the price of annihilating the entire army, the guards of the villa still put up a little bit of effective resistance, replacing one or two of the eight-pointed minions.

And the corpse Dorothy found was one of them. He was shot in the chest and died outside the back door of the villa. Due to time constraints, Keke immediately let all the guards in the villa clean up. The villa searched, but did not go to collect the body. After this minion died here, no one took care of it for the time being.

Dorothy manipulated the dead eight-pointed minion, made him get up slowly without anyone noticing, and after tidying up his clothes, turned around and entered the villa.

The killers who participated in the raid were all masked in black, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. Although the minions manipulated by Dorothy had a lot of blood in front of them, because Bajian was a "shadow" association and was used to close combat , There are also a lot of bloodstains on other killers. They cut the enemy with blades in close combat, and each one of them smells like blood. There is nothing wrong with having a large amount of blood on their bodies.

Just like that, Dorothy manipulated the dead eight-pointed minion to sneak into the villa. Dorothy, like other killers, began to search for things in the villa, and walked towards the villa while searching. Advance through the corridor on the west side of the living room on the first floor.

After walking all the way to the destination, Dorothy let the corpse puppet start to stay in this corridor to search for things, pretending to focus on searching this area, and other killers saw that there were people in this corridor. There is no need to waste manpower in the past. After all, the scale of the entire villa is not small, and it is unnecessary for multiple people to search in the same place.

Therefore, when other killers see Dorothy's corpse moving in this corridor, they will also choose to continue their search missions in other places.

After defining this corridor as his own search area, Dorothy asked the puppet to use the search as a cover to start some cover. He turned over the cabinet in the corridor, and the door of the room on the side of the corridor opened outwards, covering the corridor Ending scene.

After making all the preparations, Dorothy took control of a corpse of a servant who died in a room beside the west corridor, and let him walk to the wall clock at the end of the corridor under the cover of the door and the minion puppet. Before, he stretched out his hand to open the dial of the wall clock, and started to move the hands on it. He moved the hour hand to 12 o'clock, the minute hand to 3 o'clock, and the last second hand did not move immediately.

Next, Dorothy took control of the dead body of a guard who died not so badly on the corridor by the window on the third floor, made him stand up tremblingly, loaded his pistol with magazines, and When no one was watching, he fired continuously outside the window, emptied the magazine, threw the gun out, and fell back to the original place.

There was loud gunshots on the third floor of the villa, all the assassins in the villa were immediately attracted to the attention, and many of them rushed directly to that side.

And at the same moment when the gunshot rang out, the servant puppet arranged by Dorothy in the corridor on the west side of the living room turned the last second hand to 6 o'clock, and then there was a rumbling sound of machinery around him.

The sound of this mechanism is not too small, if it is normal, it may be heard by the killer who is close, but at this moment, the continuous gunshots cover up the sound of the mechanism, making it impossible to hear its movement.

Just as the other killers in the villa were attracted by the gunshots and rushed away, the heavy floor in front of the foot of the corpse of the servant began to open, revealing a downward staircase. Dorothy controlled the corpse of the servant to go down without hesitation After the stairs, the floor began to move up automatically, and the hands on the clock dial on the wall immediately returned to the correct time.

Under the cover of gunshots, Dorothy opened the entrance to the secret room of his villa according to Barrett's information. The corpse manservant went down the stairs all the way, and he had already carried the gas lamp from the villa above.

Under the light of the gas lamp, the corpse manservant quickly walked down the stairs and came to a relatively spacious underground space. With the light of the gas lamp in her hand, Dorothy turned on the gas lamps that she had brought around one by one. Open it, let the light shine into the darkness below, and let its face appear before Dorothy's eyes.

What appeared in front of Dorothy at this time was a scene of an underground studio. On one side of the relatively spacious basement, there were rows of tall bookshelves with densely packed books. There is a long table, besides the accumulated books and scraps of paper, there are many strange gadgets and instruments with unknown meanings on the table.

On the other side of the basement stood an astronomical telescope-like instrument with a long lens barrel and countless mechanical structures. Dorothy recognized this kind of thing. It was a secret observer, which could observe through stacked enchanted lenses. Esoteric transmission, defense against poison, Dorothy has seen similar ones in the history department of the church, but it is a size bigger than the history department.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the entire underground basement is not this huge secret transmission observer. It is an ancient statue with many cracks on a mottled surface placed in a corner of the basement.

This statue is not a statue of the Mirror Moon Goddess, but a statue of a male warrior. This warrior is wearing a battle armor, wearing a cloak on the back, holding a sword in both hands standing in front of his body, and his bearded face is full of perseverance. There is no helmet above the hair.

On the base of the statue, there is an inscription in formal imperial script, and under the inscription there is a standing tablet with such inscription written in Pulitzer script.

"Arthur Despenser, one of the Four Knights of Moon Shadow, the Wind Knight."

Chapter 370 Four Legends

On the southwestern outskirts of Tivian, north of Shield Hill, the villa of Duke Barrett.

The bloody smell permeated the huge building, and the villa where the tragedy happened was still a messy scene.

The sudden gunshot from the third floor of the villa broke the dullness in the villa. The eight-pointed killers who were searching around in the villa were attracted by this burst of gunfire. Many people rushed to the sound of the gunshot immediately. of the scene.

On the third floor of the villa, by the window of a certain corridor, Kenke, the leader of this group of killers, was standing here at this moment, looking sternly at the corridor in front of him where several corpses were splattered with blood.

"What happened to the gunshot just now? Did you see anyone else?"

Turning his head, Kenke said to the subordinates in front of him with a serious tone, and listening to Kenke's words, a killer who arrived at the scene first answered.

"No, sir, when we came here we didn't see anyone but the dead body, and we don't know how the gunshot came from... Maybe the gun here went off?"

"Hmph... No one moved, how could the gun go off by itself? Someone must have sneaked in, or... someone here is not dead..."

While talking, Kenke looked at the corpses in the corridor in front of him, and then flicked his hand, two bats flew out from his sleeves, and these two bats flew towards the corpses around, passing through them, Kenke K confirmed that the bodies were really dead.

"It's really dead...then maybe someone got in. Why did those guys suddenly shoot here? It couldn't have been accidentally fired..."

After confirming that the corpses around him were really dead, Kenk not only frowned slightly, but the sudden gunshot made him doubtful, but the doubt lasted for a long time, and he turned around to look at the A pair of subordinates behind him spoke in a stern tone.

"What are you all doing here!? Hurry up and continue looking for things, and search more carefully. Even if you have searched, let me go through it again a few times. By the way, check all the corpses to make sure they are dead. If you encounter If there is a guy sneaking in, immediately send a signal to everyone!

"That's right... If you hear gunshots again, don't go if you are far away, stay where you are, and do whatever you have to do."

"Yes, sir."

After simply responding to Kenke, the killers gathered around dispersed one after another, returned to every corner of the villa, and continued to search for the trace of the secret room, and after seeing everyone leave, Kenke, He frowned and looked at the darkness outside the window, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his expression.

And even the uneasiness in his expression was caught by a certain line of sight at this time.

......

"This guy... seems to have noticed something."

A few kilometers away from the villa, on the carriage on the dark road, Dorothy, wrapped in a blanket, was sitting in it. At this time, she was observing Keke's expression through the eyes of the dead.

"If you want to sneak into the secret room under the noses of these guys, covering the sound when the secret room mechanism is opened is the most critical. At present, there is nothing better than gunshots as a cover, but this kind of gun shot out of thin air Ringing will definitely make people suspicious, this is inevitable... The key is how to find clues after the other party becomes suspicious is the most important thing.

"In terms of concealment...it's really thanks to the combined use of the spiritual thread transmission and the ring of obscurity, otherwise ordinary corpse puppets can't hide from the eyes of vampires at all..."

While using the dead bodies in the villa to investigate, Dorothy thought in her heart.

Except for the "Shadow" spiritual perception that cannot perceive the "Shadow" that is being used in a concealed manner, all white-level occupations have a spiritual perception of the spirituality involved in themselves. Without the protection of the Ring of Hidden Obstacles, vampires are easy to sense Seeing the spirituality of the "cup" that is in an extraordinary active state on the corpse doll, this is also the other party's judgment on the cause of the gunshots. They only judged that it might be an outsider who sneaked in and the undead corpse, and did not think of the corpse doll.

"Fortunately, although this guy is suspicious, but with their ability, they will not be able to find any clues for a while. Now my corpse puppet has successfully entered the secret room. As long as the holy emblem is fixed, it will be fine."

While thinking like this, Dorothy turned her thoughts back to the secret room, and she controlled the things inside to start moving again.

In Barrett's underground research room, Dorothy controlled the servant puppet to start searching. According to the words of Barrett's ghost, the holy emblem was in the drawer of the main desk of the research room. Dorothy controlled the servant puppet and began to scan around. , looking for where the so-called main table is, and after a while she found the target.

In front of the rows of bookshelves on one side of the secret room, there is a large brown desk, on which are stacks of books and a small secret observation instrument, the size of this desk is smaller than other rooms in the research room. The table should be one size larger, and the supporting chairs should be much more comfortable and luxurious, and there are table cabinets attached.

Dorothy controlled the servant puppet and walked straight towards the brown office desk. She didn't let the puppet pay attention to the pile of books and documents on the table, but directly opened the drawer in the upper right corner of it, and started to look through it. Looking for the things inside, after a while, the servant doll found a wooden box from inside.

Dorothy asked the puppet to take the wooden box out of the drawer, put it on the desk and slowly opened it, and then a row of gadgets in the wooden box appeared in front of Dorothy.

Most of these gadgets are small metal products, and the labels attached to them show that these things were unearthed from a certain ruin. Most of these metal products have been damaged, and their original forms cannot be seen clearly, and the few Of all the metal objects, there was one that caught Dorothy's attention.

That, is a small badge, this badge is not complicated, it is just a crescent moon with a simple decoration, I don't know how many years have passed, the decoration on this crescent badge has been blurred, the crescent moon The corners are worn a lot, and there is a label under the badge that seems to be written by Barrett.

"The suspected emblem of the Mirror Moon Goddess was unearthed in the No. 3 ruins of Razor Mountain, the priest's tomb, and the unearthed date was November 1359, 11."

'The ruins unearthed in the Razor Mountains... exactly as Barrett's ghost said, this is it!"

Looking at the holy emblem in front of her, Dorothy's eyes lit up, and then she asked the puppet to take the holy emblem out of the wooden box and put it in her hand to examine it carefully. She found that although the holy emblem of the "shadow" was old , some wear and tear, but fortunately it is generally intact, there is no serious missing damage like other metal objects in the same box as it, so it should not be a problem to use it for rituals.

Then the corpse puppet looked at the Holy Emblem, and Dorothy felt a sense of familiarity in her heart, but she didn't think much about it, because the symbol of the crescent moon was hidden between the "Shadow" related items and the seal. Dorothy has seen many similar ones before, so she didn't pay too much attention to the sense of familiarity in her heart.

"Huh...Finally, I managed to get this thing after working so hard."

In the carriage compartment, Dorothy looked at the holy emblem on the corpse puppet and let out a long sigh of relief. After getting the holy emblem, the next task is to send it out.

For Dorothy, it is not a good choice to activate the mechanism again and open the exit of the secret room to send out the holy emblem. The sound of the mechanism needs to be covered by gunshots, but Dorothy has already fired a round of empty guns in the villa before. Yes, that Keke has already become alert, and specifically ordered his subordinates not to move after hearing the gun body, so it would be very risky for Dorothy to repeat the same trick.

But fortunately, for the current Dorothy, there are other ways to send the Holy Emblem apart from trapping the secret door.

Holding the Holy Emblem in her hand, Dorothy made the corpse servant look at the ceiling above the secret room, where there was a small vent with a fence made of thin iron bars.

This kind of underground space that needs to stay and work for a long time is impossible without vents. Right now, the vents of this research room should be independent of the ventilation system of the villa and lead to somewhere outside.

Looking at the air vent above the ceiling that was several meters high, Dorothy asked the corpse servant to find something out of his pocket, opened his hand and took a closer look, and found that it was actually a black crow corpse.

This is Dorothy's bird-shaped corpse, which was brought in by the eight-pointed minions as a cover, and handed over to the male servant's corpse to make it easier for him to take the holy emblem out.

Chapter 370 Four Legends

Using her ability, Dorothy made the crow puppet move again, and then let it pick up the holy emblem from the other hand of the servant puppet, and then flapped its wings and flew towards the thin iron bars of the vent. mouth.

Then, Dorothy took a picture of the sigil of life, and then transferred the effect of the sigil to the crow puppet, and then let the crow puppet, which has been strengthened, use its claws to bend the thin iron bars that make up the fence. , wanting to directly open a passage to get in, the slender iron bar began to bend gradually under the powerful claws of the crow corpse puppet.

Such a thin iron bar, if replaced by an ordinary person with a raw scorpion, can break those iron bars in a few strokes, but now it takes a lot of time to change to a crow.

Of course, Dorothy will not waste this time. In front of her is Barrett's laboratory, which contains his research on the belief of the Mirror Moon Goddess. Since Dorothy is here, she must look around to see if she can find some. the results of his research.

"The eight-pointed nest has spent so much effort in order to destroy Barrett's research on the Mirror Moon Goddess. The truth behind it must be very frightening for the eight-pointed side. How many copies of the truth do you have?"

Under such thinking, Dorothy manipulated the servant doll and began to search for valuable things in the research room. First, she turned her attention to the most conspicuous thing in the whole research room, that is, the statue standing in the corner. On top of the warrior statue.

Dorothy had the valet walk up to the statue to look it up and down, then focused on the translated label on its base.

According to the translation, the person engraved on this statue is named "Arthur Despenser", and is also known as the Wind Knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Shadow Moon, and Dorothy is actually no stranger to this name... ..or rather, all Pulitzers are no strangers.

Arthur Despenser, is the ancient hero in the Priet national legend, and the guardian of the three Priet islands. The source of the blood claimed by the Priet royal family is the source of all Priet people. well-known legends.

Every Prieter will tell the story about this Arthur, and Dorothy has heard of it since she was a child. There are many legends about him, most of which are about killing monsters and expelling the remnants of evil gods. A heroic epic that saves the world.

It is rumored that the savior of light came to the world from the palace of the sun and defeated many evil gods to save the world, but the defeat of the evil gods does not mean that the evil has disappeared. There are still many monsters created by the evil gods in this world. They hid in every corner under the savior's glory, and came out again after the savior's return to make trouble for the world, and Arthur is the hero of Prieter who is active in this background.

In the stories that Dorothy heard since she was a child, Arthur was a Prieter who was born in the remote ancient times. A horrible monster massacres, and people live in fear.

In this chaotic Priet, a down and out old swordsman appeared. He held a stone sword and recruited disciples around Priet, because he required his disciples to use heavy stone swords for training. , so many people regarded him as a lunatic and ignored him. Even if someone occasionally trained under him for a period of time, they finally gave up because of the weight of the stone sword.

Only Arthur, with his astonishing perseverance, completed the training wielding a heavy stone sword. After seeing the completion of Arthur's training, the old swordsman turned into a glorious warrior amidst laughter and flew up It turned out that he was the Holy Son, and he selected the hero who saved Priet in this way, and in the end Arthur also wielded the stone sword, which is essentially a divine weapon, and killed many people on Priet Island. monster.

This is the beginning of the story about Arthur Despenser that Dorothy heard when she was a child. Generally speaking, it is a very standard legend of heroes with the color of the Radiance Church. After this opening chapter, there is The story of how Arthur used his power and wisdom to kill monsters on Priet Island one by one in the name of the Son, and finally became the first king of Priet.

At the end of these stories, Arthur met the most difficult opponent in his life, a monster with black wings, countless mouths, sucking blood, and flying freely in the sky. Arthur and this bloodthirsty monster The monster fought eight times, and each time the monster would run away after being beaten away, Arthur chased it under the guidance of the Son, and finally killed it completely after catching up to it eight times and defeating it eight times After that, Arthur was led to heaven by the Holy Son, away from the world, and the legend of Arthur ended.

Then from the perspective of the servant doll, Dorothy looked at the stone statue of the warrior in front of her and recalled the stories she heard when she was a child. She can still remember that Arthur’s story was very attractive to Greg, who was a little boy at that time. When the children get together to play, they will try to play Arthur first.

Many people in Preet have heard the story of the messenger of the Son, the great hero Arthur, but this is the first time I have seen this special image...
