Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Ed said this to Misha, and then he continued to speak with a slight frown.

"We are willing to hand over this batch of important materials to Ms. Misha, as long as you can pay the corresponding reward..."

Chapter 380 Five Transactions

North Tivian, Cathedral Quarter.

In the corner of the chant cathedral, under the control of Dorothy, the corpse puppet Ed smiled and proposed conditions to the royal knight in front of him, and Misha had the experience of dealing with the detective in front of him before, so he was very concerned about the situation. The other party's proposal at this time was not surprising.

"Reward... well, what do you want this time?"

Looking at Ed in front of her, Misha spoke bluntly, and Ed answered seriously.

"At least four secret biography, preferably all 'cups', if not enough, gather a little 'stone' and 'shadow', and add seven 'shadow' storage items, if you have any information about stars If you want to use the information from the Shushu Association, you can reduce the price appropriately."

Stretching out a finger and shaking it, Ed told Misha his price, Misha was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then continued to speak.

"Seven pieces of 'Shadow' storage items, and secret biography... a bit expensive. Unfortunately, the most valuable information about the Star Number Repair Society we know here is the ruins under the Guanda, where You should have already explored, so there is no valuable information for you.

"However... since we are also hostile to the Nest of Eight Points, for the sake of the common enemy, can't we be a little less?"

Misha said to Ed as if bargaining, listening to her words, Ed still answered with a smile.

"Enemies are enemies, business is business. With all due respect, Ms. Misha, although the relationship between us and Bajian is not harmonious, and there are occasional small frictions between us, the fundamental contradiction is not that big. , at least I am much younger than you, for now...we have no obligation to fight Bajian to the end."

Dorothy let Ed speak like this, Misha's complexion sank slightly when she heard Ed's words, and after a short pause, she sighed slightly and opened her mouth.

"Huh... well, I agree to your request. After I return to the Bureau, I will send the things you need through the White Stone Masons Guild."

"Very good, happy cooperation, Ms. Misha." Ed continued to smile and said to Misha, but at this time Misha was thinking about what the mysterious association in front of him could do with these things.

"Even if a general association requires a secret book, it will also require a specific book of spirituality, but this association requires so many things. Last time I asked for 'lamp' and 'shadow'. I asked for 'cup' and 'stone'...and a pile of storage, what do you want?"

Misha was thinking curiously in her mind, while Dorothy, who was in the carriage at this time, was manipulating Ed to continue speaking.

"By the way, ma'am, there is one more thing I need to remind you. Because the big nail in your bureau hasn't been pulled out until now, please don't disclose any content of the transaction between us to your bureau. Anyone. You'd better open another private account in the craftsman's union. The information we will give you later will be sent to that account. After you get it, you'd better study and keep it by yourself. Don't tell anyone. Even if the other party is your most trusted colleague...or even your most trusted boss."

With a warning tone, Ed said this to Misha, and Misha rolled her eyes after hearing Ed's words, and then continued to respond.

"What you're doing is tantamount to letting me check Bajian by myself."

"Otherwise? Before you know the identity of the big insider, this is the safest way. Your own function is to investigate the insider. Even if you are secretive and withdrawn in the bureau, you will not arouse suspicion.

"The Eight-pointed Nest planned such a large operation and used so many resources to destroy Barrett's research, so this just proves that Barrett's research is very important, and it is very likely that it will directly target the Eight-pointed one. The root of the series of conspiracies, if you really want to bring down Bajian, then this research must continue, and you can continue without being known by Bajian.

"Now in the eyes of Bajian, this research has been successfully interrupted by them. You only need to continue the research in absolute secrecy. They don't know it. We have a hunch that when this research finally has further results Only then can you truly reveal the secret of Bajian, thereby reversing the passivity."

Ed said seriously to Misha, and Misha couldn't help but nodded in understanding after listening to it and pondering for a while.

"You are right. The research of His Royal Highness is indeed very important. I will consider your suggestion."

"Very good, then we will send you the information in hand soon, pay attention to check."

Ed responded to Misha, then he took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Misha.

"This is an extraordinary item that can contact us. You can contact us by writing on it. It is safer and more timely than the craftsmen's union. Keep it."

With that said, Ed handed the booklet in his hand to Misha, and Misha took it and looked it over, then put it in his pocket.

"Different large-scale associations often have different means of extraordinary connection. This is the first time I have seen you like this... What is your purpose? Why did you expand your power in Tivian? Why did you conflict with Bajian ?What exactly are your names?"

After putting away the booklet, Misha looked at Ed with a serious expression and said, while Ed smiled lightly and then answered.

"Heh...I'm afraid I can't answer all of your questions for the time being, Ms. Misha, you just need to remember...our purpose is not harmful to the kingdom you want to protect. ..

"Now, there is only one last question that I can answer your question... About our association, you can call it the Rosicrucian, and I am a member of it code-named 'Detective'."

Ed spoke to Misha like this, and at the end of his words, he gave her a small salute, looking at Ed in front of him, Misha couldn't help murmuring thoughtfully.

"A rose...crucifix?"

......

Soon, the meeting between Ed and Misha came to an end. After controlling Ed to leave the church, Dorothy took some time to safely take back the corpse doll, and then returned to Tivi in ​​a carriage. Ann North Suburb.

After several hours of driving, Dorothy returned to her home in Greenshade, and after wrestling her cold hands, she came to the fireplace in the living room, squatted and added After enough firewood and combustion aids, a tiny flash of light on the fingertips ignited the flame in the fireplace.

Then, Dorothy found a pen and paper, and began to copy some of the materials she saw in Misha, Duke of Barrett, by the fireplace. According to the deal, she would give all of these materials to Misha.

'Generally speaking, although I am very unhappy with the Bajian group, there is no fundamental conflict between me and them, and there is no need to fight them to the end, so this job of confronting Bajian head-on It’s better to leave it to the authorities, I will support it from time to time, just to get some benefits.”

While copying, Dorothy thought in her heart, although she was also very curious about what Bajian's conspiracy was? Who is the so-called night devil? But she didn't want to spend time exploring these secrets herself. Let them handle their own disputes within this kind of "shadow" forces. At most, I can help the Anyin Bureau a little bit. Dorothy's focus is still on the research of the mystery of "Enlightenment" and her own promotion.

Chapter 380 Five Transactions

With this in mind, Dorothy quickly copied all the research materials she saw in Barrett's secret room, put them in an envelope, pasted a reminder to be careful about poison detection, and then went to Beverly Hills. The family sent all of them to Misha.

Next, Dorothy rested at home for a day with peace of mind, and in the early morning of the next day, a clockwork man in slippers swayed to the door of Dorothy's house while drinking motor oil, The package was stuffed into the mailbox.

Dorothy was not idle when she received the reply, she immediately took the package home and opened it, and took out four different secret biography books and seven silver coins with moon patterns printed on them. "Shadow" storage.

Dorothy took so many stored items to recharge her family ring. She only needs to spend 2 "shadow" points to manipulate the corpse into and out of the church of chant once, and the "shadow" on her body is not much to replenish One point is almost gone, and Dorothy, who has the anti-detection spiritual habit of "Shadow", is still very important, so Dorothy plans to prepare more "Shadow" in one go.

Among the other four secret books, two were about "cups", one was about "stones", and the other was about "shadows". She quickly read all four secret biography.

......

The first secret biography of "Cup" is called "Broken Cocoon Diary", which is a diary-themed secret biography. In the feeling of being bound, constantly struggling and seeking the experience of transformation and liberation.

At the end of the diary, the author used scissors to peel off his skin bit by bit. After he got rid of the shackles of the skin, he felt the unprecedented joy and freedom with his bloody body.

In it, she wrote the process of skinning herself in great detail. After reading it, Dorothy felt that she deduced the feasibility in her mind, and found that there was some truth in it. She thought that if someone could bear the pain, it might be A pretty good self-skinning tutorial.

From this tutorial, Dorothy got 3 points of "Cup" and 1 point of "Enlightenment".

......

The second secret biography of our "cup" is called "Illustration of the Lost Sea", which is a rather weird and absurd encyclopedic secret biography, which records some huge sea monsters in the sea and some strange ocean landscapes , and there are many barren island tribesmen with inhuman gestures and customs.

Dorothy looked at the descriptions and abstract illustrations of those huge sea monsters, wondering if these things might have something to do with the Sea Abyss Sect.

In the end, Dorothy got 4 points of "cup" and 2 points of "enlightenment" spirituality from this not-so-thin secret biography.

......

The secret biography of the third "stone" is called "The Landois Manuscript", which is an engineering manuscript when an architect named Landois tried to assemble and restore a broken large-scale sculpture in the desert of northern Ufja. , As a result, the statue was not half restored, and both Rondois and the workers involved in the project went mad with drug addiction.

From the sketches of this manuscript, Dorothy could barely see that the half-restored sculpture seemed to be a four-legged beast, but among the remaining unrestored fragments, there were There are parts carved to resemble human ears.

Looking at the manuscript, Dorothy lamented that in this world, not only art, literature, archeology, etc. are dangerous occupations.

From this manuscript, Dorothy extracted 4 points of "stone" and 3 points of "enlightenment", and "enlightenment" was much more unexpected.

......

The secret biography of the fourth "Shadow", which has no exact name, is a lullaby for sleeping. In the lullaby, it is mentioned that the fairy in the mirror will guard the sleeping people at night. Obviously, the fairy in the mirror is very Possibly the same being as the Fairy of the Lake, another old Priet ballad.

After seeing this lullaby, Dorothy generally understood that all kinds of folk images created based on the goddess of the mirror moon should have been very numerous in Prieter hundreds of years ago. The belief once spread with the Pulitzer folk after being folklorized.

From this lullaby, Dorothy gained 2 points of "Shadow" and 1 point of "Enlightenment".

......

Finally, after Dorothy read all the secret biography, she summed up her own spiritual situation.

8杯,10石,5影,2灯,14寂,7启.

In addition, there are seven "Shadow" storage items.

"Phew... the spiritual crisis after being promoted is temporarily resolved. This bit of spirituality is at least enough to deal with emergencies...thanks to the knight sister of the Anyin Bureau..."

After reading all the secret biography and sorting out all the spirituality, Dorothy lay down on the sofa with a long breath and thought that what she was most afraid of before was that she was not spiritual enough, and suddenly she encountered some accident situation, resulting in an inability to cope with it for a while.

But fortunately, the eldest sister of the Anyin Bureau was there, and after trading a wave of top-notch information with her, Dorothy finally regained her spirituality urgently.

Seeing that although she didn't have much, she still had some spirituality, Dorothy couldn't help feeling relieved in her heart.

......

Since she finally realized her short-term goal recently, Dorothy, who was greatly relaxed, planned to rest for a few days to relax, so she left some time after the New Year and started Qianyi's life at home. During this period, she was not completely idle, but paid attention to and helped her companions.

The first is the issue of Capac's return to his hometown. Although the truth about the Duke's assassination has not been announced to ordinary people, the security and vigilance in all parts of Tivian has become stricter, including the customs. The sudden strictness of the customs , making it difficult for a group of suspicious-looking New World aborigines to board the ship.

But fortunately, in the mundane world, the power of money can exert more powerful power. Dorothy gave Capac two hundred pounds as a management fee, and used Adele's contacts in Dongcheng District to find the local snake over there. After threading the needle, Dorothy finally managed to load the dozen or so aborigines who were originally engaged in terrorist attacks on a ship bound for the New World, and let Capac take them back to their hometown. During the two days of their stay in Tivian, During the trip, Kapak also successfully purchased some things to go back.

On the other hand, Vanya was the first person who discovered the scene of the Duke's assassination, and she was also the rescuer of the princess. She was deeply involved in this major assassination case. Various investigations in the hidden bureau, under the investigation, she often prayed for Dorothy's help in the form of silent prayer in her heart, and Dorothy also secretly helped her deal with various cross-examinations.

What Greg is facing is the continuous overtime work like a red year. This time, the big case can be said to have shocked the entire Security Bureau. conducted a comprehensive investigation.

The assassination of Duke Barrett made the Anyin Bureau, and even the entire government of the Preet Kingdom, attach the highest level of importance to the Nest of Eight Points.

According to the information Dorothy exchanged from Misha, this incident shocked the royal family. The current King Charles IV was furious in court and ordered a nationwide investigation and suppression of the Nest of Eight Points at all costs. Archbishop Francesco expressed the church's sympathy and condolences for the Duke's assassination, and they will fully cooperate with the Kingdom government's actions.

The church and the kingdom government have launched a comprehensive campaign against the Nest of the Eight Points, and the Nest of the Eight Points, the last order given to Greg is...

There is total silence, waiting for the storm to subside.

Chapter 380 Preparation

Total silence...waiting for the storm to subside.

This is the last order Greg, who still bears the identity of "Adlin" two days after the Duke's assassination, received from the eight-pointed nest. In this order, the eight-pointed side asked Greg Take the initiative to terminate all active espionage activities and turn to passive silence to resist the high-pressure search of the Priet Kingdom government.

The duke's assassination shocked the upper echelons of Priet, including the king, and soon after the incident, they joined forces with the church to launch a rigorous hunt for the top eight members of Tivian.

Originally, the Nest of Eight Points was just what the Anyin General Bureau had to deal with, one of the countless evil secret associations in the capital. Their original criminal projects mainly included... illegal associations to spread secret knowledge to others... worship of evil gods... making criminals Human abduction by slaves... Intelligence theft and trafficking against the Security Bureau, etc...

These crimes caused the General Administration of Anyin to list the Nest of Eight Points as a high-threat target, alongside several other associations. , their information also directly appeared in the important imperial meeting attended by the king and the archbishop.

At this imperial meeting, the entire Preet Kingdom’s high-level officials agreed that the Nest of Eight Points is the most serious threat to the kingdom at present, and all forces must be mobilized to deal with it severely. Therefore, the enemies of the Nest of Eight Points should be dealt with by the Anyin Headquarters The child has risen to the entire Priet Kingdom, and there is the Church on the side to fully support it.

From the third day after the assassination of the Duke of Barrett, a team led by the Preet Annin General Administration, including the Preet Army, Priet Royal Navy, Priet Royal Guards, Church Jihad Knights... . and many other forces participated in the organization of a huge force and began to clean up the entire Tivian's hidden world, striving to eradicate the eight-point forces from Tivian in one go.

With the all-round cooperation of the church's many "Lamp" Beyonders, countless joint search teams swept across the entire Tivian. In just over a week, there were more than 80 secrets of all sizes in Tivian. The strongholds of the associations were wiped out. Among them, there are only about six or seven strongholds that can be clearly identified as the Nest of Eight Points, and most of the others are strongholds of other associations.

During this wave of extremely severe searches, almost all of Tivian's secret associations were affected. With the arrest of a large number of association members and the destruction of a large number of strongholds, all of Tivian's secret organizations had to be All activities are suspended, and everyone is as quiet as a cicada.

The actions of the Nest of Eight Points have had a profound impact on the entire Tivian Hidden World. Even the Wolf Blood Association instructs Vanya to act cautiously in the near future. The forces that had already been hit in Tivian were also hit in this round of raids, and several strongholds were lost. When Dorothy was visiting her neighbors, she also heard a clockworker complain that the kingdom government The activities with the church have greatly reduced Tivian's secret activities, and his business has suddenly cooled down a lot.

Due to the large-scale official search, many non-cult associations have also been affected, and some dutiful Beyonders and Beyonders have been arrested for no reason and thrown into prisons. Greg works crazy overtime in various arrests every day. On the other hand, Adele's scarlet heart was not affected too much because of her church background, but because she accepted part of the chaos Among them, the Extraordinary who came to seek asylum has grown in power.

All in all, because of Bajian, the entire Tivian Hidden World was severely tossed, and the secret of Bajian's plot to assassinate Prince Preet also spread like wildfire in the Hidden World, and many people suffered losses in this search. The associations of the associations all had resentment towards Bajian. As Bajian had already anticipated this result, he started the evacuation plan early, and Bajian's main force in Tivian withdrew before the big search started. , the strongholds they lost in this search are not too important.

For more than a week, while resting at home, Dorothy passed through Adele...Misha...Greg...Vanya...Beverly...etc. The channel learned about a series of major events that happened in the city. After learning about the turmoil caused by the murder case, Dorothy couldn't help but lament in her heart that her choice seemed to have caused such a big wave in this world for the first time.

"Obviously, Bajian also anticipated the reaction of the kingdom government after Barrett was assassinated, so he specially designed to lure the aborigines of the New World to come here to take the blame, but because of Dorothy's secret plan, the aborigines flocked Abandoning the original revenge plan led to the successful assassination of Eight Pointed Nest, but also exposed itself.

"Just imagine, if all the eight-pointed plans were successful, Tivi's large-scale search operation will no longer exist, and it will be replaced by Preet's conscription to the New World. On the New World, Preet The expeditionary force will start a war against a large number of aboriginal tribes.

'And now, Bajian's plan to rely on the aborigines to take the blame fell through, and they had to shrink strategically under Prieter's anger, and even withdrew from Tivian.

'This will undoubtedly have a major impact on Bajian's long-term plan, but judging from the point that Bajian still insists on carrying out the assassination after knowing that the aborigines who are responsible for the problem have gone wrong. In Bajian's eyes, as long as the Duke of Barrett If the research cannot continue and their core secrets are not exposed, then it is acceptable to endure this bit of suppression. Perhaps in their eyes, as long as the core secrets are not exposed, they may have a chance of turning the tables.

"No matter what the core secret of Bajian is, as far as the current situation is concerned, they must stop for a while. The entire Tivian hidden circle, Bajian should not make any waves in it in a short time Come.'

In the villa in Lusha Town, Dorothy, who was wearing thick pajamas, was sitting by the fire, while analyzing the information obtained over the past week, while thinking about it in her heart.

While thinking, she raised her hand, and then continued to think with serious eyes.

'Eight-pointed is no threat to Prieter for the time being...But for me, the potential threat cannot be ignored.'

"I really didn't expect that the spawn of the spider tooth priest would actually keep a hand..."

Looking at her hands, Dorothy murmured like this, at this moment she...can feel a trace of extremely weak spiritual threads linking to her body, and extending to the distant and blurred other side.

Dorothy has spirit threads connected to her body at this moment, but the problem is that Dorothy has not manipulated even a corpse puppet or living puppet.

This thread is connected to a disused bird-shaped corpse of Dorothy's, which is exactly the bird-shaped corpse that Dorothy sent to investigate Barrett's mansion on New Year's Eve night!

That night, when the bird carcass was carrying the holy emblem of "Shadow" for Dorothy, it was discovered by the spider tooth priest chasing from behind, and it was captured. At that time, Dorothy Xi felt that the spirit thread of the bird corpse was broken, so he thought that the bird corpse was completely destroyed by the spider tooth priest, so he ignored it afterwards.

But the fact is not what Dorothy imagined. Just this morning, more than a week after the New Year's Eve, Dorothy sensed a faint spiritual link with herself. After checking, she suddenly discovered that The target linked by the spirit thread turned out to be the bird corpse puppet that was thought to be damaged!

This discovery shocked Dorothy at the time, and she immediately checked the condition of the spirit silk again, and found that it was also very unusual.

The spirit thread of the link is very weak, so weak that Dorothy can hardly feel it if she doesn't feel it carefully, and the state fluctuates, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and she can hardly feel it when it is weak.

Chapter 380 Preparation

Faced with such a weak spirit thread, Dorothy wanted to try to manipulate and conduct it, even if she felt the position of the link target, it was difficult to feel, and she couldn't even judge the general direction.

Faced with this phenomenon, Dorothy pondered for a long time and began to search for the reason. After much deliberation, she thought of some possibilities.

In Dorothy's mind, her bird corpse doll must have been tampered with, and the hands and feet can only be made by the spider tooth priest. He has the ability to use blood to erode the corpse doll and its spiritual silk, so that I can't break the ability of the spirit silk link. When he used his claws to attack the bird corpse doll, he should have injected enough blood into the bird corpse doll, so that he can connect himself to the spirit silk on the bird corpse doll. has been eroded.
