Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

At this time, on the side of this huge ship, there are countless brightly dressed men and women gathering with their respective salute alleys. They talked and laughed while boarding several boarding ladders erected by the side of the ship, and went to the huge ship. Above, on the side of the boarding ladder, there is a wooden platform, on which there is a band playing cheerful music to celebrate the moment of boarding, and there are countless security guards at the scene to maintain order.

"Is this the Shining White Pearl? Whether it's this ship or this style, it's a bit big..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Dorothy couldn't help murmuring and sighing, and then he manipulated the corpse puppet of the parent who was disguised as his father and walked forward with a salute, walked into the queue, and was about to board the ship among the crowd.

Following the long boarding queue, Dorothy asked the parent doll to show at the ticket gate an adult ticket and a child ticket bought for twenty pounds, and then boarded the high boarding ladder. After climbing for a while, I finally came to the deck of the Shining White Pearl.

The crowd on the large deck was bustling. The moment Dorothy and the patriarch puppet set foot on the deck, a waiter in uniform greeted them with a smile, greeted them kindly in Farrara, and then worked very hard. The corpse puppet of the family helper saluted, and then led them to their own cabin.

Dorothy and her parent doll were led by the waiter on the bustling deck. Dorothy looked around curiously, and then she found that there were huge posters of the Massimo jewelry exhibition on many places on the ship. After seeing these posters, Dorothy asked the parent corpse puppet to ask the waiter who was helping to carry the boxes in the not-so-standard Fararo language.

"When will Massimo's jewelry exhibition be held?"

"It will be held on the front deck on the 28th, which is three days after the ship sets sail. Mr. Massimo's jewelry exhibition will be the focus of this voyage. We will hold a grand dinner at that time. I think you will definitely be there." Have a great night.”

The waiter who helped carry the luggage respectfully replied to the parent doll, and after hearing that, Dorothy turned her gaze to the open front deck of the Shining White Pearl, with a look of interest in her eyes.

"Holding an exhibition on the deck? Heh... It's still January, and the night temperature on the sea is not high, must it be held like this?" Dorothy asked the waiter while controlling the parent's corpse puppet. , while the other party continued to reply respectfully.

"According to Mr. Massimo, this is mainly to better display the highlight of the exhibition - Deep Blue Heart. According to Mr. Massimo, the Deep Blue Heart needs to be displayed between the sea and the sky in the night sky to achieve the best effect , so the exhibition was arranged on the deck."

While the waiter was talking, he pointed to the far bow of the front deck. There was a large bronze statue of an angel installed on the bow. The female angel with wings spread was holding her hands To the sky, to the sky and the waves.

"Sir, have you seen the statue of the Angel of the Virgin? That is the booth where the Deep Blue Heart will be displayed later. It was custom-built by Mr. Massimo at a huge expense. After the exhibition, the Deep Blue Heart will be permanently installed on the Angel In the hand of the statue, it is displayed for everyone to see, which is an idea executed by Mr. Massimo to display his most cherished jewels."

The waiter vividly introduced the upcoming jewelry exhibition to Dorothy's parent doll. Dorothy, who was on the side, looked at the large bronze angel statue on the bow of the ship, then nodded silently and said: .

"Holding a deep blue heart, the angel under the Virgin Mary? What a creative way of exhibition."

Dorothy sighed like this, and then she didn't continue to ask any more questions, but followed the waiter and walked forward, entering the cabin.

After walking through the long aisle, Dorothy came to her cabin under the guidance of the waiter. After saying goodbye to the waiter, Dorothy closed the door of the cabin. After inspecting the luxurious decoration and complete functions, With plenty of light, and a comfortable cabin several grades higher than the previous passenger ship, she couldn't help saying with a sigh of relief.

"Phew... traveling is great..."

While talking, Dorothy took off her shoes, rushed onto the soft bed and rolled around twice.

......

After several hours of boarding, the Shining White Pearl finally set sail. As the boarding ladder was pushed away, thick black smoke spewed out from the chimney, and the [-]-ton ship began to lift anchor and set sail. Amidst the buzzing of the siren, the ship gradually moved out of the port, and Dorothy, who was sitting in the cabin, also looked at the port farther and farther away.

After the cruise ship left the port, Dorothy began to experience the luxurious life of a cruise ship. Sometimes she would experience various delicacies in the luxurious restaurants of the cruise ship, and sometimes go to the ballroom to enjoy music and even dance a few dances. , and sometimes went to watch the scene when Neveu and her classmates were taking history class on the boat.

Sometimes, Dorothy manipulated the patriarchal puppet to chat with some other gentlemen on board, learning about their countries and cultures, and at the same time practicing her spoken language other than Pulitzer, and even when she was in a good mood, she Even let the parent corpse and those gentlemen go to the casino to play a few cards and win a few laps.

In this way, Dorothy stayed on the Shining White Pearl for two days in a rather pleasant and comfortable environment. On the second night, she sat in her cabin, watching the While carrying the world map, confirm your current position.

"According to the speed of this ship, in two days, it has almost circled the Overlook Cape and entered the Sea of ​​Conqueror. If you want to go to Iviga, you should be sailing east now..."

Sitting on the bed in her own cabin, Dorothy looked at the tiled world map in front of her and muttered, out of boredom, she wanted to figure out her position on the sea in this age without satellite positioning.

According to Dorothy's judgment, the current Shining White Pearl should have just entered the Sea of ​​Conquest, and is sailing eastward, towards Ivig. If it is really sailing eastward now, then Dorothy's previous judgment is correct .

Then, Dorothy began to judge the course of the ship. Judging the direction on the dark sea requires the help of a compass, but fortunately, Dorothy, who has simulated the ability of the summoner of thunder, can judge the direction without props.

She can use the ability to directly sense the magnetic field of the planet, so as to determine the north and south.

Dorothy closed her eyes and felt it seriously. After a while, she finished feeling it, and then opened her slightly confused eyes.

"This boat... seems to be heading south..."

Chapter 390 Humidity

Conquer the Sea, Shining White Pearl.

Under the cloudy and dark night sky, the huge cruise ship is slowly sailing towards an unknown distance. The steel hull cuts through the waves and drags out a long white trail.

In a certain luxurious cabin, Dorothy was sitting alone on a big soft white bed. In front of her was a large map of the world. At this time, Dorothy was frowning slightly looking at the The map in front of you.

Because there is a lot of boring time on the ship, in order to relieve herself, Dorothy began to try to find something to do for herself. She tried to calculate the current location of the Shining White Pearl on the map in this era without satellite positioning. The approximate location, but the result made her feel a little surprised.

'According to the voyage of the Shining White Pearl, it should set off from the Port of Basse in the northwest of Farajo, sail westward and then southward, round the Cape of Castile, a peninsula country, enter the Sea of ​​Conquest, and then head all the way to The east is heading towards Ivig.

"According to the average speed of the Shining White Pearl, it has been two full days now, and it should have completely bypassed the overlooking corner and entered the Conquer Sea. After arriving at the Conquer Sea, the ship should drive east all the way to Iraq Vig, instead of continuing south.'

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Dorothy thought about it. Although the window was in the dark night where the stars and the moon could not be seen, it was difficult to find beacons to determine the direction, but with the induction of the planet's magnetic field, Dorothy could still be very sure. The Shining White Pearl is now heading south, not east as it was supposed to be.

"interesting......"

After realizing this problem, Dorothy couldn't help but rubbed her chin and muttered, then she began to seriously think about the reason for the current problem.

'The current course of the Shining White Pearl does not match what I calculated... There may be three reasons. One is that my calculations are wrong. The other is that the ship does not travel at the usual normal cruising speed, but The speed is even slower, so that the whole ship is still sailing south west of Castile, and has not yet turned around the Cape of Prospect and entered the Sea of ​​Conquest. The third is that the ship has deviated from the preset route.'

Dorothy listed three possibilities in her heart. Out of confidence in her own calculation ability, she checked the calculation in her heart and rejected the first point, leaving two points, the speed slow or off course.

And these two points are the problems of the crew, so now Dorothy wants to investigate what is going on.

After making a decision in her heart, Dorothy put on her shoes by the bed and walked to the carpet in the cabin, then she opened the cabin door and went outside. After wandering around the cabin, she came to a deserted corner. Then, Dorothy took out the magic box from her body, put it on the ground, opened it, and used her abilities to manipulate the things inside.

After a while, countless spiders, geckos, mice, mosquitos and other small corpses rushed out of the magic box, and spread in all directions under Dorothy's control.

After releasing countless small corpse puppets for investigation, Dorothy returned to her cabin, closed the cabin door, sat on the sofa in the cabin, and then began to use the small corpse puppets to attack the entire Shimmering White Pearl. The investigation and monitoring was launched.

Under Dorothy's control, her small corpse puppet used the ventilation ducts to monitor the entire ship. Using the senses of various small corpse puppet, Dorothy saw the scenes everywhere on the ship. The band in the ballroom remained the same. The melodious music was still being played, and men and women were still dancing in the wide field. There were still many gambling games going on in the casino at the same time, and some gentlemen who were so desperate to gamble even shouted regardless of their appearance. The waiter It is still busy running around, satisfying the various needs of the guests. In some secluded corners, there are gorgeously dressed ladies with their husbands on their backs, talking and laughing with young and handsome young people in a low voice.

Various scenes in the Shining White Pearl were reflected in Dorothy's mind. Dorothy didn't care about other things, but let many small corpses infiltrate towards the cockpit, wanting to see the situation on the side.

After spending a while figuring out the general structure of the ventilation system on the ship, Dorothy quickly found the way to the cockpit. She manipulated the small corpse doll into the cockpit along the ventilation duct, and then Observe the situation in the cabin through the vent.

In the cockpit at this time, there are three or four sailors here. They did not do too much operation, but rested in the cockpit to guard the port. The rudder was in a fixed state. At this time, no one went to operate it.

Using the air vents in the cockpit, Dorothy observed the situation in the cockpit. She found that the sailors in the cockpit were very silent and didn't speak much. The last sentence was just some irrelevant complaints. There was no substantive content, but Dorothy did not worry about it, but continued to wait patiently. Finally, after more than half a whisper, she heard a useful message. A seaman was watching After looking at the dark sea outside the window, he couldn't help but speak.

"The heading is okay, don't be scolded by Mr. Costa again."

"No problem, Mr. Costa just came to check, and now the course is correct." Another seaman replied, and the seaman who asked the question before spoke unexpectedly.

"Has Mr. Costa been here? When? Where is he now?"

"He only came to the cockpit more than an hour ago. Now, he should be returning to the captain's cabin."

"Oh..."

After the simple exchange, the cockpit fell into calm again, and Dorothy in her own cabin couldn't help but nodded in her heart after hearing these words.

"Costa? Isn't that the name of the captain of the Shimmering Pearl? In other words, the one who set the course like this...is the captain of this ship?"

After listening to the conversations of the sailors, Dorothy realized where the main problem was, so she immediately started looking for the ship's captain's cabin.

Fortunately, on the wall in the cockpit was a detailed top-down section drawing of the entire ship. According to this drawing, Dorothy quickly determined the location of the captain's cabin, and then manipulated the small corpse doll through the ventilation system. The ventilation duct quickly set off towards the captain's cabin.

The captain’s cabin is not too far from the cockpit, and they are all in the superstructure above the deck. It didn’t take long before Dorothy found the ventilation duct leading to the captain’s cabin, and manipulated the small corpse doll along the way. Go all the way to the captain's cabin through the ventilation duct.

However, after Dorothy's small corpse puppets approached the captain's cabin, she found something unusual.

After Dorothy was promoted to Chalk, the range of size of the puppet she can manipulate has been significantly expanded. Now Dorothy is already able to control small puppet like mosquitoes. When she placed it in the ventilation duct , In the corpse doll used to approach the captain's cabin, there is such a miniature mosquito corpse doll, and it is for the first rushing position.

And as Dorothy's mosquito doll got closer and closer to the captain's cabin in the ventilation duct, she also felt a slight abnormality on the mosquito doll's body. Simply put, the mosquito doll's wings became heavier and heavier up.

Yes, under Dorothy's incomparably fine perception, she noticed that the wings of the mosquito doll began to become slightly heavier. After noticing this abnormal situation, she immediately searched for the reason, and then she noticed the frivolity of the mosquito doll. A fine layer of water droplets actually began to accumulate on the thin film wings.

'The air humidity here is greater than other places...'

After realizing the abnormality on the mosquito doll, Dorothy immediately stopped all the dolls that were still moving towards the captain's cabin, and then waited and watched. The spider puppet on the wall of the corridor looked at the captain's cabin in the distance, and stared closely at the locked cabin door in the distance. After staring at it for a while without seeing any movement, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chapter 390 Humidity

"Huh... It seems that no alarm has been triggered yet, and it seems that it has not been noticed..."

With a slight sigh of relief, Dorothy thought happily in her heart that Dorothy used corpse puppets to detect many cases before and was discovered. Some were discovered by stepping on extraordinary spider silk, some were discovered by spiritual perception, and some It was discovered by the blood mist... So now Dorothy has developed a very cautious habit of using the corpse puppet to investigate, even if she finds a slight abnormality such as the increase in humidity in the air, she immediately becomes vigilant.

After realizing that the air humidity on the way to the captain's cabin has risen, Dorothy did not immediately continue to go inside, but started experiments and attempts, so that many mosquito puppets began to go from different directions, different The path is tentatively approaching the captain's cabin, but as expected, as long as it approaches the captain's cabin to a certain extent, the problem of wings becoming heavier will appear.

Although the air humidity on the ship is higher than that on land, but during Dorothy's investigation, the humidity around the captain's cabin is even higher than other places on the ship. It is very sensitive, and Dorothy, who can manipulate the flying insect puppet, can clearly feel this change in humidity.

The humidity around the captain's cabin is higher than other places on the ship, but the location of the captain's cabin is not a place that is easy to get wet. Therefore, the increase in humidity around the captain's cabin is an abnormal phenomenon.

In this world, abnormal appearance is almost equivalent to extraordinary interference, and the environment around the captain's cabin is likely to be affected by some extraordinary factor.

"Heh... It seems that traveling is not a leisurely trip..."

Encountering extraordinary phenomena again during the journey, Dorothy couldn't help but sighed a little helplessly, and then quickly cheered up and began to think about the problem in front of her.

"The course of the cruise ship is abnormal, and the captain may have some connection with Secret Extraordinary. It seems that we must find out what's going on to make people feel at ease. However, the abnormal humidity has risen, and I feel that I can't approach the captain's cabin rashly."

Frowning slightly, Dorothy thought about it in her heart, and then she began to seriously think about the abnormal humidity in the captain's cabin right now.

Because in order not to be illuminated by such things as the luminous lamp, all Dorothy's corpse puppets use their spiritual vision to conduct investigations. In Dorothy's eyes, although the humidity near the captain's cabin is extremely high and the water vapor is dense , but did not see any abnormal spiritual phenomena.

It does not contain abnormal spirituality, that is to say, the water vapor is ordinary water vapor and does not possess any extraordinary power. It is not the spider silk of the man-faced spider and the blood mist of the spider-tooth priest. be perceived.

But...... Even if it is ordinary water vapor, this abnormal accumulation is still alarming. In order to understand the function of these water vapors, Dorothy intends to conduct some experiments.

First, Dorothy walked out of her cabin, found a corner and released a human-shaped corpse in decent clothes, then he let the human-shaped corpse move forward in the huge cruise ship, all the way to the cruise ship’s entrance. in the bar.

After Dorothy's puppet pushed open the door of the bar, what came into view was a slightly noisy scene. Many passengers gathered together in twos and threes to drink and compete for alcohol. The passengers huddled in a corner and fell asleep.

Dorothy let her corpse puppet quietly approach a bearded male passenger who was drunk and lethargic in an unoccupied corner, then took out a quill from her pocket, and after looking around, in this On the palm of the drunk man's palm, a mysterious symbol combining an inverted pentagram and a cup was quickly drawn, which is the living puppet mark!

After Dorothy drew the symbols, she began to use the ability of the quill pen to turn the content drawn by the quill pen into "common knowledge", and set it so that only she could understand it.

So in the eyes of others, the obvious occult imprint in the drunk's hand turned into a mess of graffiti-like lines, as if the drunk had accidentally touched the strokes on it.

After drawing the living puppet mark on the drunk man without anyone knowing it, Dorothy let her corpse leave the bar quickly, and then she used the living puppet mark to manipulate the bearded man who smelled of alcohol and was unconscious The drunk stood up staggeringly, and after a few bar breaks, he staggered out of the bar with a bottle of wine in his hand.

Dorothy manipulated the carefully selected drunken puppet, and swayed forward all the way to the captain's cabin. While walking, she drank a few drinks and cursed out of thin air, as if she was a drunk man returning home. look of home.

Dorothy let the drunken puppet walk directly to the vicinity of the captain's cabin, approaching the area with abnormal air humidity around the captain's cabin, and then kept walking back and forth around there, sometimes walking to that side, sometimes walking to this side, There was a lot of water vapor on his body.

Just after Dorothy's drunken puppet was active around the captain's cabin for a while, in the eyes of the small corpse puppet that Dorothy observed remotely, the hatch of the captain's cabin suddenly opened, and a sailor in uniform stepped out of it. Frowning, he quickly turned several corners and found the drunkard puppet hovering behind the captain's cabin within a few strokes.

"Sir... this is the crew rest area, not the passenger area, what are you doing here?"

With a serious expression, the crew member spoke to the drunk man puppet, while the drunk man puppet, who smelled of alcohol, shook his head, looked blankly at the crew member in front of him, and spoke in an inarticulate tone.

"Ah...ship crew...what kind of boat crew...fucking boat crew! I want to go back to my room...my room is over here! The old one was here just now... don't know where it went..."

The drunk puppet said loudly to the crew member, the crew member frowned from the smell of alcohol, and then spoke.

"Sir, you are drunk, do you still remember your name? What cabin do you live in?"

"Drunk? Drunk your head! I'm not drunk!? Do you dare to say that I'm drunk?!"

As he said that, the drunk man threw drunken madness at the crew. Seeing this scene, the crew immediately grabbed the drunk man's hand with his hands, and firmly restrained the burly drunk man with great force. It was completely unable to resist.

"Sir, you are quite drunk. Let's talk slowly in other places. Please rest assured that we will find out your identity information and send you back."

"Let go of me! You boy, I'm not drunk! I have to walk back by myself!"

In this way, the crew restrained the drunk and walked away from the captain's cabin, and Dorothy, who had fully witnessed this scene, couldn't help thinking in her heart.

'This piece of unspiritual water vapor...It can really be sensed if it gets too much...

'So, what kind of extraordinary force has such a strong sensing ability even for ordinary natural moisture?'

Dorothy thought to herself, and soon she had an answer.

Some extraordinary people have a certain ability to perceive natural things that are not spiritually thin. This is the elementalist. For example, Dorothy, who imitated the thunder warlock, can feel the normal discharge phenomenon in nature. If it happens, she can predict it.

So... Another way of thinking, even if it is ordinary water vapor, after being stained with too much water vapor, will it be felt by the Extraordinary of the line of water spells?

Chapter 390 Listening

Conquer the Sea, Shining White Pearl.

On the sea of ​​night, the huge cruise ship is still splitting the waves and moving forward. In a certain cabin, Dorothy is sitting on her sofa, summarizing the results of her puppet investigation, thinking about a series of The problem.

Because of the ship's heading error, Dorothy sent a small puppet to investigate the cockpit and the captain's cabin. As a result of her investigation, she unexpectedly discovered the problem of an abnormal increase in the air humidity around the captain's cabin. She specially manipulated a drunkard puppet to wander around the abnormal area around the captain's cabin to test it out, but as expected, she was taken away by the sailors who came out of the captain's cabin.

This also proves that the dense water vapor diffused in the air around the captain's cabin does have some kind of detection effect. If you rush into this humid area rashly, you may be perceived by the people in the cabin , which appears to be an anti-reconnaissance defense.

'The water vapor around the captain's cabin is just ordinary water vapor, it doesn't contain any abnormal spirituality, it's not released by some extraordinary creature, it's a part of itself. It has the same relationship with the blood mist. The detection principle between these water vapor and the other two is different.

'However... even such ordinary water vapor can have the effect of detection, so it also proves that the person in the captain's cabin can respond to such ordinary water vapor, and can detect natural things without spirituality. Inductive... This is the characteristic of elementalists.

'I have simulated the Thunder Summoning Warlock, and I can occasionally sense the natural discharge phenomenon in the clouds on rainy days, so other elements make nature also perceive their corresponding natural elements. The water vapor enriched in the air is greatly reduced After the disturbance or too much contact with the human body, it is estimated that it can be sensed by the Extraordinary of the Path of the Waves.

'This method of counter-detection with moist water vapor is very clever. This level of humidity increase is not felt by ordinary people or extraordinary people, because the water vapor is just ordinary water vapor and does not have abnormal spirituality in it. Therefore, for example, my spiritual vision, chalky spiritual perception, and even the Huijian lamp and other investigative techniques focused on abnormal spirituality would not be able to detect it. If it weren't for me being able to fly insect corpses in the air after being promoted, and flying insects are more sensitive to changes in humidity, I would It is also possible that the corpse puppet was sent directly just now, and then the trick was noticed.

"The Captain Costa in the captain's cabin is very likely to be a Beyonder of the Way of the Waves, and judging from the keen perception of natural water vapor, the rank is not low, at least chalk."

After realizing that the captain is a Beyonder of Path of the Waves, Dorothy couldn't help feeling the seriousness of the matter for a moment.

The captain of a cruise ship with thousands of tourists is a Chalk Extraordinary, and now the cruise ship may deviate from the original course, no matter how you think about it, you can't be at ease!
