Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Last night, it was supposed to be the biggest gimmick of this trip, the debut of Deep Blue Heart at the public exhibition, but no one expected that the existence of the thief K would completely mess up this original event. The act of blatantly stealing Deep Blue's Heart under the watchful eyes of everyone made the well-arranged venue last night his personal show.

Thief K's stunning performance almost made all the audience in admiration. From the party scene last night to the breakfast restaurant this morning, the passengers were all eagerly discussing the topic of that thief K. Everyone They all showed great interest in this unique thief.

......

"Did you see it?! The thief K from last night, she really appeared!"

"Unbelievable... I thought it was a prank, but I didn't expect it to be true. She really stole the Deep Blue Heart, under the noses of so many of us? Oh, Holy Father, this is really true too crazy."

"Theft in such a public place, and the theft of such valuables, is simply lawless! Bravery!"

"Haha! Don't be so angry, old man, the thieves who issued a warning letter in advance and then carried out the theft in public, this is so interesting! This kind of behavior can be called romantic! To be honest, this is much better than the boring gem exhibition Yes, it’s more exciting! And have you seen it? The figure and appearance of the thief lady are simply superb! She is definitely a beauty, and think about her elegant figure, oh...no, I feel that not only the deep blue heart was stolen, but mine was also stolen by her!"

"Shut up your hopeless romanticism, Fararo! We're talking about crime! That thief is a criminal, and a criminal who needs to be punished!"

"Oh... come on old man, we are not the police or Massimo, we don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I just know that this lady thief is really great, no... I will I went back to my room and sketched her appearance last night, and I thought many newspapers would be interested in my work after I landed."

......

In this way, in the restaurant, the passengers gathered around were eagerly discussing the topic of Thief K. They had never seen any thief arrogantly sending out a notice letter to announce his arrival before stealing something. What's more The most important thing is that this notice came true in the end, the thief fulfilled his promise, and she blatantly stole the Deep Blue Heart under the eyes of everyone.

Such a maverick act shocked everyone, and at the same time sparked heated discussions. Some people thought that this thief K was a criminal who was infinitely worse than ordinary thieves. He was a daring lunatic and deserved the most severe criticism .In addition, there are quite a few people who believe that this thief K is full of charm no matter his actions or person. They are attracted by the boldness, wisdom, romance, etc. of the thief K. They think Her appearance raised the original exhibition to a higher climax, making this journey more exciting and interesting.

Although audiences have different evaluations of Thief K, as the original owner of Deep Blue Heart, Haiyuan Sect and others have nothing but hatred for Thief K. From the moment Deep Blue Heart was stolen, they have Determined to get it back, and immediately began to act.

That night, under Costa's order, the sailors of the Shining White Pearl began to search the entire ship. The crew knocked on the doors of the passengers one by one. All the people were questioned, mainly to check whether anyone had an arm injury or whether they were carrying any abnormal items. A small number of black earth water magicians among these seamen also occasionally conducted simple spiritual investigations on suspicious search targets.

Until this morning, most of the [-] people on the ship had been searched by the sailors. Now in the restaurant, you can still see serious guards in the corners and seafarers who are asking passengers to question them. Nothing was found, but the entire search process continued.

"That...Miss Dorothy, these guys don't seem to give up at all, they're still looking for someone here, they've been looking for them all night..."

In a corner of the restaurant, Nephness in normal clothes was standing here with a plate of cakes, whispering to Dorothy, who was holding milk, while Dorothy was slowly savoring the cake. After taking a sip of milk, he opened his mouth slowly.

"That's right...their determination is beyond my expectation. Although the collector's brain is a bit not bright, the captain is not a fool."

After drinking the milk, Dorothy looked at the sailors who were still carrying out the orders, and murmured in a low voice with a serious face. Originally, she was planning to rely on the disappearing lifeboat, so that Costa and Massimo on board thought that the thief K They had already left the Shining White Pearl, but the result was that they were not fooled this time, and insisted that the thief K was still on board, and continued to search here.

"What should we do now? Miss Dorothy, will they find us if this continues?" Nephness asked Dorothy with a hint of anxiety, and Dorothy answered in a relaxed manner.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Neveu, with their inspection efforts, they won't be able to find us. What we need to pay attention to now is what action they will take next if they can't find us."

Dorothy reassured Neveu and said, what she said was right, with the current search efforts of this group of Haiyuan Cultists, it is impossible to find them.

These Haiyuan believers are mainly looking for women with white skin and wounds on their arms, but Nephness's wounds were healed by the healing effect of the smoke at that time, and her makeup covered her After the soul beard was released, her temperament changed dramatically. The only similarity between Neveu and Thief K is her body shape, which cannot be accurately judged.

However, even Neveu's body has made a certain amount of camouflage. When she turned into Thief K, her breasts were wrapped in a circle and made her look a little smaller. She also wore high heels that could make her look taller. So many costumes that are inconvenient to move still maintain sensitive movements, which undoubtedly needs to be thanks to Hunxu's powerful agility and sense of balance that surpasses human beings.

Although the Extraordinary of the Way of the Waves has the extraordinary vision and spiritual detection ability like Hui Jiandeng because of the auxiliary "lamp", the effect of this ability is not as extraordinary as the real "lamp". Those who are strong, without the help of sigils and props, even Massimo and Costa's spiritual detection range is less than ten meters, and this kind of detection consumes a lot of money after it is turned on. spiritual.

There are more than 700 passengers on such a large ship. With Costa's current detection capabilities, even a rough spiritual detection of each passenger can almost exhaust their "light" spirituality. , not to mention that this kind of rough detection is completely unable to break through Dorothy's "shadow" barrier.

Faced with so many passengers and such a big ship, the best search strategy for Costa and the others is actually divination, and they have already tried it, but after only trying once, they immediately gave up after finding out that it was counter-divinated. The other party must be protected by a powerful anti-divination system and is a member of a large association.

"It's impossible for these guys to find me and Neveu using conventional means, but these guys are all cultists, and they can do anything when they are pushed, so we must guard against them doing some hard work."

Dorothy thought about this in her heart, and then secretly controlled the small corpse, intending to further monitor Massimo and Costa.

......

Chapter 390 Six Decisions

In the afternoon, the rear deck of the Shining White Pearl.

On the side of the railing at the stern of the Shimmering Pearl, Massimo in a suit and Costa in a captain's uniform are standing here, and around them are a circle of sailors in uniform, one of whom is With a respectful look, he reported to Massimo and Costa.

"Gentlemen...we have conducted a preliminary inspection of the entire ship and all the passengers, but unfortunately, we have not found any clues about the thief.

"We have checked the hands of everyone on and off the ship. There is no injury pierced by water arrows. We have conducted some spiritual tests on all the women whose characteristics slightly match those of the thieves, but there is no gain. I am sorry."

The sailor said to Massimo and Costa apologetically, after listening to the sailor's words, their expressions became more serious, and Massimo spoke directly.

"Hmph... It seems to be true, that thief is a 'shadow' Extraordinary, it seems that the wound I left her has been healed by some means. If she uses her spirituality to hide For myself, in the face of the [-] or so women on board, even if we use up all the 'lights', we may not be able to find her out."

Massimo said with a cold snort, while Costa on the side also spoke silently after listening.

"One thousand women? Heh... I'm afraid it's not that simple. How can you be sure that that guy is a woman..."

"What? Isn't that obvious? That guy's voice and appearance, what is it if it's not a woman?!"

Listening to Costa's words, Massimo on the side spoke somewhat unexpectedly, while Costa continued to speak solemnly.

"Don't be fooled by your eyes anymore, haven't you figured it out yet? Massimo, since that guy is a 'shadow', he has a certain self-healing ability, and the smoke released by using props has a 'cup' and a 'shadow' Two characteristics, which clearly point to the path of blood darkness in the path of 'Shadow'.

"If that guy is a shadow man or even a vampire, then he can do whatever he wants to look like. The Extraordinary on the side road can easily disguise even his gender and age. The physical features you see are basically Unreliable! Not just the women on board, everyone is unreliable!"

Costa said so sternly, listening to Costa's words, Massimo couldn't help being stunned for a while.

"The path of blood darkness...Yeah, why didn't I think of those blood-sucking spiders! By the way...I came across some furry thing on the dark blue heart last night when I checked the dark blue heart. things, and then my hands suddenly felt painful and numb, and I uncontrollably dropped the dark blue heart.

"Now that I think about it, the thing lying on the heart of the deep blue seems to be a spider! I should have been bitten by that strange spider. The spider that can bite me so painfully is not an ordinary thing. It must be that A special breed bred by a group of blood-sucking spiders! Maybe it has some kind of poison!

"I said, why does that guy have anti-divination? It turns out that he is a blood-sucking spider guy..."

Touching his right hand, Massimo said with the original expression, as if he believed that he was bitten by the poisonous spider cultivated by the eight-pointed nest last night, so he accidentally knocked off the dark blue heart of.

In this era when electrical equipment is not widely used, it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with electricity at close range, so it is difficult to understand what it feels like to be shocked. There are three main ways that people in this era can come into contact with electricity. One is the electricity of natural thunder, the other is the electricity of the telegraph office, and the third is the static electricity in life.

The probability of people being struck by natural lightning is very low. Most people go to the telegraph office to send a telegram without touching the equipment, and they will not get an electric shock. Therefore, the electricity most often exposed to is static electricity. However, Massimo is a member of the Haiyuan religion. The Extraordinary of the Path of the Waves has lived in coastal cities and islands for a long time. Compared with the north, the air humidity in these places is higher, so it is difficult to generate static electricity.

Therefore, Massimo, who had never been shocked by electricity before, couldn't understand what this feeling was after being shocked for the first time, so he directly identified it as being bitten by an eight-pointed spider.

"Is it a spider that can bite you so painfully? Hmm... It looks like it's a kind of neurotoxin. If you were bitten by a spider, that thief K is eight-pointed." People are more based, but..."

While speaking, Costa frowned, and then he spoke slowly and seriously.

"It's just... why did the Spider Queen's Foot suddenly intervene in our affairs? What is their motive? Didn't those guys mess up some plan not long ago, and they were almost killed in Puri by the Despenser royal family and the church? Can’t you get along? Why do you have time to take care of our affairs?! Why are they trying to provoke us?”

Costa murmured in confusion, if the thief K is really a top-notch person, then the motive is very confused, while Massimo on the other side said directly.

"Don't worry about why! With so many signs here, there must be an inseparable relationship between this thief K and those blood-sucking spiders! The Spider Queen is the god of conspiracy. Although I don't know what those spiders are plotting all day long, Definitely no good intentions!

"Our top priority now is to quickly catch that spider K and bring back Deep Blue Heart. As long as he is caught, everything will be easy."

Massimo said it as it should be, but Costa spoke impatiently after hearing this.

"Of course I know that the key now is to catch him! But a shadow man or a vampire, hidden among more than 700 people, how do you want to catch him?"

"That's easy! Just kill them all! We gather everyone together and kill them one by one. I don't believe that guy won't fight back when it's his turn!"

Pointing to the giant wheel behind him, Massimo said with a spittle. When he said these words, his expression was not the slightest wave, as if he was referring to a group of sheep.

Listening to Massimo's words, Costa paused slightly, and after a while of silence, he gradually spoke.

"This group of people... is going to be a living sacrifice for Highmore Hawes. We don't know how many people we have to kill to kill that thief. If too many people are killed, the wife dedicated to High Mowes Less...you and I can't afford the consequences..."

Costa said slowly to Massimo with a serious expression, and Massimo responded after swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"If you can't find the Deep Blue Heart, the ceremony can't be held at all, and Hemerhaus won't be able to eat a living sacrifice! At that time, we will have to bear even greater consequences!"

Massimo said this to Costa, listening to Massimo's words, Costa was also silent for a while, after looking at the vast sea and gray sky for a long time, he continued to speak slowly.

"Bins, where are we now?"

"Sir, according to the chart, we should be in the southwest waters of Sok Island now, and there is still about one day's voyage to reach the scheduled sea area." Beside Costa, a sailor replied respectfully, listening to his words, Costa There was a moment of silence, and after making a certain judgment in his heart, he spoke again.

"Turn around and sail westward, we will go to White Tears Island."

"Yes!"

After hearing Costa's words, the sailor named Bins immediately turned around and ran out, preparing to go to the cockpit to execute the order, and Massimo beside him couldn't help saying unexpectedly after hearing Costa's order.

"White Tears Island? Isn't that the temple presided over by Lord Jianlin?"

"That's right...it's Lord Jianlin's place. It's not too far from here. If you sail at full speed, you can get there in a little more than a day." Costa said like this, and at the same time, there was a hint of determination in his expression.

"There are so many people over there, and Mr. Jianlin's methods are also great, I don't believe that this little thief can still hide in front of him.

"Although we went to Bailei Island to find Master Jianlin, scolding and punishment are indispensable...but the sacrifice of Hemohaus is indispensable. Compared with its anger, Master Jianlin's punishment is more or less acceptable."

Chapter 390 Control

Conquer the Sea, Shining White Pearl.

In January and February, thick gray clouds pressed against the sky, and on the vast and gloomy sea, a huge cruise ship was sailing forward. This cruise ship, carrying more than [-] passengers, deviated from its original course , headed towards the desolate sea, and most of the passengers on board did not notice this at all.

In a certain cabin of the cruise ship, Dorothy, who was wearing light clothes, was sitting by the window, looking at the turbulent sea outside the window, with a serious expression on her face.

At this time, Dorothy had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Costa and Massimo at the stern through the small corpse puppet, and learned about their next actions. She felt uneasy about these guys' future plans.

'These guys... actually want to drive the boat to the nearby Haiyuan Sect stronghold, and ask the people there to help find me? The place they are going to is called Bailei Island, and the person they are looking for seems to be called Jian Lin... .It seems to be the upper echelon of Haiyuan Cult who is responsible for offering sacrifices and guarding the temple.

’ Listening to the tone and title they called this Jianlin, this Jianlin has a high status in the Sea Abyss Sect, so high that he can punish the two chalks Costa and Massimo, so he is very likely to be a red monk.

'It's a bit bad, these two guys are actually driving the boat in the direction where Chicheng is, if they really wait for them to drive the boat there, wait for Chicheng to come to me in person, then it will be terrible. '

Dorothy frowned and thought that she has almost understood now that on the extraordinary path, the leap from chalk to red level is huge, far greater than the leap from black soil to chalk. Between the huge extraordinary organization Among them, Chalk can be regarded as a high-level cadre, while Chicheng is the leader. After Chicheng, the life form of Extraordinary people will even undergo some changes, and thus have a lifespan of hundreds of years far exceeding ordinary people. Life expectancy is still at the stage of ordinary people.

Therefore, although the current Dorothy has been promoted to Chalk, she definitely doesn't want to fight a red body. It is very difficult for her to deal with a red body derivative.

'Now the Shining White Pearl is sailing to an island belonging to the Haiyuan Sect. There is a temple guarded by Chicheng on it. In the temple, apart from the red step called Jianlin, I don't know how many people belong to the Haiyuan Sect. It is very dangerous whether I can hide it or not. In the face of Chi Cheng, I can't control the situation.

'Therefore...No matter what, I can't let these guys drive the boat to the Bailei Island. Once there, I'm afraid that it will be useless to face a Chiyuan Zun and a lot of other Sea Abyss Sects. of.'

Dorothy thought this way, she knew that although planning and manipulation could reverse the not-too-large strength gap to a certain extent, it was difficult for planning to play a role in the face of an absolutely large power gap, so now Dorothy must find a way to prevent them from sailing the boat to its destination.

'But... how should we stop them? Judging from the results of the investigation in the past few days, almost half of the crew members are members of the Sea Abyss, and the entire cockpit is their people. That Costa still Staying there for a long time, stopping them directly with violence is almost equivalent to fighting them directly.'

Touching her chin, Dorothy frowned and thought, to be honest, she was very repulsed to go to war with the chalk of the two waves on this vast sea. Because at sea, Dorothy relied on ships In order to gain a foothold, and those water skills are not used, they only need to choose the shipwreck in the worst case, so Dorothy has nothing to do.

It's still the same old problem, the other party has too many means at sea, and the fault tolerance is also high. If Dorothy wants to fight them head-on, she must severely damage the two chalks at the same time at the beginning, but because they both Both of them are Extraordinary masters of the "cup", it is really too difficult to achieve this.

'Hiss...It's a bit difficult... Judging from the current situation, there is no other way except to have a direct confrontation with them and forcibly seize control of the ship, but directly with them I don’t know if I can win the fight, but even if I can win them, it would be terrible if they sink the ship in a fit of anger. Unless they are defeated in a short time without giving them breathing room, but my current strength wants to kill the two chalks in a second. 'Cup' is so hard...'

Dorothy scratched her hair and thought anxiously, while thinking, she looked through the window at the sea in the distance, at the cloudy weather where the sun was not visible on the sea.

"It's cloudy... It's pretty good weather for a thunder warlock, but it's not as good as a thunderstorm. If there is a sudden thunderstorm now, maybe I can really challenge the two of them head-on, but Looking at the situation, the cloudy sky should continue, and it didn't turn into a thunderstorm... If the weather is not optimal and you want to fight them directly, could it be that they want me to use up the stone sculpture and ask for help? Does the old guy ask for help?"

Dorothy looked at the thick clouds outside the window and thought, due to seasonal reasons, the weather on the sea has not been very good recently. It was barely sunny for a while in the first two days, but it turned back to cloudy yesterday afternoon. Although it didn't rain, it didn't look like it was going to end.

In addition to some nautical books that Dorothy read in the Guanda Library, this sea area during this season is dominated by cloudy days, and the sunny days like the day before yesterday will only exist for a while.

"Should there be... long cloudy days..."

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Dorothy couldn't help muttering, and then she had some thoughts in her heart, and then the frown that was originally frowned suddenly stretched out, as if she had thought of something Yes, immediately sat up straight and muttered

"Yeah, if it's cloudy for a long time, maybe you can try this...

"Tsk, but there is also a problem with this. According to those guys, if the ship is traveling at full speed, it will only take more than a day to reach Bailei Island. If the destination is not reached after this time, these people Guys will be suspicious. But now the ship has been sailing south for about a day, and has already moved away from the coast and penetrated into the Sea of ​​Conqueror. Given the current position of the ship on the sea, I am afraid it will be difficult to sail to the shore in more than a day. , when they get suspicious, everything will go back to the original point.”

Not long after her brows stretched, Dorothy frowned again and muttered, although she said she thought of a way just now, but at present, this way only delays their progress to Bailei Island a bit, that’s all. When they find out that something is wrong, everything will return to the way it is now.

"Even if the ship is heading north to the mainland at full speed, it will not be able to reach the shore in a day, so if this method is to be effective, it must be seriously improved."

With her arms folded, Dorothy continued to think seriously, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly thought of something again.

'By the way, Vanya should be on her way to Iviga now. If I remember well, she went to Iviga in the name of a pilgrimage on the church's special boat. When I communicated with her before, She said that although she set off from Tivian two days earlier than us, in order to join other pilgrims going to Ivig, she waited for four days in the port of Basse in Farajo, and in the end she was two days behind me and Neveu Starting from Barcelona...

'There is only one best route from Barcelona to Iviga, so...Vanya is now a boat that departs a day later than us, and now she should just continue eastward on the normal sailing, towards Iviga. The direction of Vig is heading, and a day ago my current ship deviated from the normal course and started to go south, and just turned back to the west not long ago... In short, if it does not go east after deviated from the normal course, The Shining White Pearl cannot maintain a relative distance from Vanya's ship within a certain period of time.

Chapter 390 Control

'Because those guys and I were fighting each other on this ship, the Shining White Pearl kept going south and west after yaw, and the result was that the ships that were normally traveling on the route would catch up, if my calculation Good word...we shouldn't be too far away now!'

Dorothy thought of this, and then immediately closed her eyes, and began to use the information channel to perceive Vanya's current position and the distance between her and herself, and then, she immediately opened her eyes.

"This distance... will do..."

After confirming Vanya's current location and the distance from her, Dorothy couldn't help feeling relieved, then she immediately closed her eyes, and in the name of praying to Aka, sent a message to Vanya through the information channel , Ask her how big is the church ship over there? How about the guarding force?

......

"Eh? Miss Dorothea... is asking Aka to call me again?"

In a spacious and bright cabin with simple decoration, Vanya, who was praying earnestly at the simple altar, suddenly opened her eyes, looked around twice and then muttered.

"Under normal circumstances, Miss Dorothea would bother Aka to convey her news only in very urgent situations, that is to say... Has she encountered any crisis now? It feels too much Miss Rothea is always easy to get involved in what kind of incidents... After meeting her, the frequency of my involvement in incidents has also increased significantly...'

Standing up, after straightening her glasses, Vanya, who was wearing a white nun's attire, thought in her heart, looking back on the past half a year, the incidents she was involved in were more serious than the past ten years of her life. It's even more, although the relative achievements and ranks are also rising.

'Don't worry about it too much. If Miss Dorothea is in danger, she must be fighting against cultists and evil associations. I need to support her as much as I can.

"However, she asked me how big our ship is and how strong its guards are, so I have to go out and confirm it..."

While thinking like this, Fanya walked to the front of the cabins, opened the door and walked out of her own cabins, then walked quickly along the simple long corridor towards the deck, and met a person who was also from the cabin along the way. A pilgrim, a skinny ascetic, after Vanya saluted slightly to them, she continued to walk forward and finally walked up a flight of stairs to the deck of the ship she was on.

The whistling sea wind blows Vanya's white nun's clothing, which is the symbol of the healing priest, and groups of squeaky seabirds soar in the sky. In the wind, Vanya clutches her nun's hat and looks around. What appeared in front of her was a wide deck, and beyond the deck, in the distance of the sea, were several fully armed escort warships.
