Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Hearing Bahoda's words, Vanya paused slightly, then sighed, and got down to continue treating the wounded lying in the cabin, while Dorothy, who was far away, was Sitting in the cabin of his own passenger ship, sorting out the information he had obtained before.

'According to these guys...they seem to be natives living on remote islands in the conquered sea. In this world, in some areas where the 'civilization' of the main continent has not been deeply involved, they still maintain their own ethnic groups The original beliefs since ancient times are the same as those of the aborigines in Kapac in the New World...

'However, the difference is...Compared with the New World, these islands are closer to the main mainland, and closer to the Radiance Cult and the main mainland countries, so they are more susceptible to its influence. Now it seems that the Radiance The religion seems to be cooperating with other colonial countries to carry out forced missions to conquer those remote islands in the sea. If the natives on these islands refuse to listen to their belief, they will be taken tough measures including military action , and Xiashu Island, to which these hijackers belong, is facing such a threat from the Church.

'So...the reason why they hijacked the church liner is probably to blackmail the church to stop the coercive action that the church is about to implement against them. Now the pilgrims on the three liners are all hostages. These summer trees A hostage in the hands of the natives.

'These guys want to force the church to make concessions on missionary issues through hostage threats? Impossible to agree to their terms."

Sitting in her dimly lit cabin, Dorothy thought anxiously that in her opinion, the situation of Vanya and the others is very dangerous now, because in Dorothy's view, the possibility of the church agreeing to the conditions is almost Zero. Vanya and the others are always facing the risk of being torn apart. If the church's rescue is not strong enough, then the hundreds of them can be said to be dead.

Dorothy felt anxious, and in addition to this anxiety, she also had some doubts.

'But then again, how did this group of island natives attack Vanya and the others so accurately? The main extraordinary forces on their fleet were all detained by the referee because of the Navaha incident. Their voyage from Navaja to Ivig is in the window period when the defense force is the weakest, and they just seized this opportunity to carry out the hijacking operation, which is too coincidental, as if they knew this The defense of the fleet seems to be weak.

'So how did they get this information? Could it be that they have ghosts in the church? But it doesn't feel like it. Does this native have the ability to plant ghosts into the church?'

Dorothy thought in her heart with a puzzled look, but the information she has obtained is still too little for her, so she can't do it, but she still doesn't know how to deal with them.

'My main body is too far away from that side now. At present, I can only exert influence on that side through Vanya. The things I can do are very limited, so I have to find a way to increase and expand my influence..... .'

Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she began to follow Vanya's senses and continue to observe the situation in the distant cabin, trying to find other points of intervention.

Vanya is Dorothy's first companion and follower, she values ​​Vanya very much, and she doesn't want Vanya to make any mistakes in this incident, no matter whether the church will launch a rescue, Dorothy Xidu must ensure Vanya's safety over there.

In the cabin of the hijacked passenger ship, Vanya continued to treat the injured sailor seriously. With her rich medical knowledge and the ability of the healing priest, her healing effect and speed effect were very good. The hijackers who watched it were very curious for a while.

Along with Vanya's treatment, more and more native hijackers came to watch in the cabin, some of them suffered some injuries in the battle just now, although most of their injuries were not serious, but After all, this is a wound, as long as it is there, it will be very painful.

Although the Extraordinary of the "cup" has self-healing ability, it is generally a matter of the Cretaceous stage. Most of these people are black soil, and they have no self-healing ability without borrowing Extraordinary items, so The injured hijacker, after seeing Vanya's healing ability, was a little jealous.

Chapter 420 Healing

While Vanya was treating the last few sailors, one of the hijackers said something to the leader, Bahoda, in a language that both Vanya and Dorothy could not understand. After a few words, the hijacker who responded bluntly to the inquiry shook his head in disappointment after listening to Bahoda's response.

After seeing the other party's performance, Dorothy in the cabin couldn't help touching her chin, and had some thoughts in her heart.

Finally, Vanya finished the preliminary treatment of all the sailors. After the healing was completed, the nun in white stood up among the wounded and silently looked at the hijackers in front of her.

"Has it been dealt with? You have worked hard, sister, now you can go back, remember not to run around or do anything suspicious."

Seeing that the sailor's injuries were almost treated, Bahoda said to Fanya, and Fanya continued to say yes.

"No, my work is not finished yet. Didn't you say that I should treat all the wounded in this cabin? Now the injuries of these sailors are mostly treated, but what about yours? You also have a lot of wounds on your body, right? "

Vanya spoke seriously to Bahoda and the others, listening to Fanya's words, Bahoda's expression revealed a burst of surprise.

"You... actually want to take the initiative to help us treat? We are the ones who hijacked you and are your enemies."

"So what? The Holy Mother taught me to treat everyone with kindness and tolerance, and you naturally do the same. In my opinion, if you can let me heal these sailors, then they must not be evil people who regard life as nothing. , you are just forced to make such a move.

"Therefore...I believe that all of you are essentially people with good intentions. As a thank you for allowing me to heal these innocent sailors, please let me heal you too."

Facing Bahoda and the others, Fanya held the phone to her chest, and said sincerely. Hearing Fanya's words, Bahoda couldn't help being startled, and then spoke.

"You...don't want to do anything to us in the name of healing, right? A patient treated by a doctor is, in a sense, a fish slaughtered by a butcher."

Bahoda said vigilantly, in fact, just now someone from his side had already asked him if he could let Vanya treat them, but Bahoda refused in the name of risk, but now he did not expect that this nun would propose to do it herself. Come to help them heal their wounds, this kindness made Bahoda feel vigilant.

"Don't worry, everyone, I sincerely want to treat you, and I have absolutely no intention of harming you. I will cure you one by one. During my treatment, you can monitor whether I have any abnormalities. The cured person can also give back their feelings at any time. Once you find something wrong, you can stop me immediately.

"Based on my current situation, I absolutely dare not do any harm to you. I really want to practice the way of the Holy Mother and eliminate the pain for all the friends."

Faced with Bahoda's vigilance, Vanya said seriously, listening to her words, Bahoda couldn't help thinking for a while, thinking that the other party was under his control, and indeed After not daring to do anything unfavorable, he decided to give it a try.

"Well, you are different from some other Glow lackeys, I decided to trust you once, you better not play any tricks."

Bahoda said so, and then he said something to his companions in his own language. After they had a brief exchange, a hijacker with an injured hand and a livid face stood up.

"Okay, then please sit down, and I'll look at the wound for you."

Saying that, Vanya began to treat the abductor in front of her, and Bahoda watched the whole process of her treatment, and he was vigilant for any changes in Vanya.

However, there was no problem with Fanya's healing process. The medicine she used was still in the medical kit on the ship. It had been tested on sailors countless times, and her actions were very careful. There was nothing wrong with the other party. The wound, in the orange halo on Vanya's hand, was slowly healing, and the healed person did not show any discomfort.

Fanya's treatment of the abductor was more serious and longer than that of ordinary sailors. After about ten minutes, she finally healed the No.1 abductor's injuries. The caller stood up from the chair, looking incredulously at his almost normal arm, and after doing a lot of movements and felt that there was no problem at all, he excitedly said a lot of what Vanya heard to Bahoda. If you don't understand.

Bahoda looked at the men who had finished treatment, and then used the spiritual detection ability of the "lamp" to detect the wound that had healed. After finding nothing abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Vanya Said.

"There is no problem...it seems that I was over-vigilant before, nun, you really cured him seriously, you are indeed different from other auras, I am sorry for my previous faux pas , please heal the wounds for our other wounded."

Bahoda said to Fanya apologetically, listening to what the other party said, Fanya replied with a smile.

"I'm just following the teachings of the Holy Mother and doing what I should do."

Vanya said modestly, and then she continued to heal the wounds of the other injured hijackers, and they were very happy to see the intact wounds after healing, and those who had some concerns began to actively seek treatment, even Some kidnappers took out their old wounds and asked Vanya if they could be healed.

What these healed people don't know is that a few of them have actually begun to undergo some subtle changes not long after their injuries have healed. Under this change, their senses are being manipulated by countless Perceived by another person a mile away.

"It's starting to work, my mark."

Sitting in her own cabin, Dorothy murmured. At this time, she was catching the imprint of the living puppet, perceiving the senses of the two hijackers, seeing things from their perspectives, and listening to them with their ears. , but there is no puppet mark on their surface.

The imprint of the living puppet that allowed Dorothy's spirit thread to extend to their bodies was now located in their bodies, under their originally healed wounds, a place that ordinary people could not see.

Vanya's healing of some kidnappers is also an operation in a sense, an operation to "carve" the imprint of Dorothy's living puppet under the skin, and Vanya uses the ability of the healing priest to perform the final surgery When healing, the growth of the skin and even the subcutaneous tissue is deliberately induced with high precision, so that a certain layer of tissue under the skin "grows" a small living puppet imprint.

The puppet mark is very small, and the growth is designed by Vanya, it will not give any negative impression to the healer, it will not make him feel abnormal, and there will be no traces on the skin, the puppet mark is on If it is not activated, it does not have extraordinary traces, so it will not be seen by the "light" detection. Even if it can be seen, Dorothy can cover it with the "shadow" conducted by the spirit thread.

This kind of deliberate shaping of flesh and blood is the result of Vanya's use of her own abilities and abundant medical knowledge. This shaping is a high-precision operation that requires Vanya's full attention and time. It can only be completed without being disturbed. Although it cannot be used in fast-paced battles, she has enough room to use it now.

In this way, under Vanya's control, Dorothy's fulcrum for interference here has increased a lot.

......

On the sea of ​​night, on the Xiashu Islands, in a dark hut, a holy altar made of blood bones and twisted flesh and blood is standing here. There are various ears, noses and mouth, and before the altar, a figure was kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Master Jianlin, the operation on Xia Shu's side went smoothly. They listened to the information I gave and took action against the weakly guarded fleet of the god sticks. They successfully hijacked three pilgrim ships and are now rushing on the way back.

"The conflict between Xia Shu and the church is irreconcilable, and I can already foresee the coming of flames..."

Chapter 420 Seven Keys

This is a spacious room with gorgeous decoration and strong religious style. Carpets with complicated patterns are laid on the floor, and large busts of different priests and nuns are painted one after another. , Huge bookshelves almost filled one wall, tall candlesticks burning candles stood at the four corners of the room, and small angel sculptures were placed on both sides.

In the middle and back of the room is a huge desk, on which are piled up countless documents, and on the chair behind the desk, there is a figure sitting.

This is a mature woman who looks about 27 or [-] years old. She has a three-dimensional face and long light golden hair. She is wearing a red and complicated loose robe. She is lying on a chair and taking a nap with her eyes closed. , there is an unconcealable exhaustion between the brows, on the desk in front of you are scattered pens and a whole page of letterhead paper written in beautiful fonts.

In the quiet room, the woman in red, who seemed to have just undergone intensive work, was closing her eyes and resting her mind. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and slowly opened her eyes. The blue eyes looked at herself In the empty space in front of the desk, a faint phantom slowly emerged from that space.

It was a translucent human-shaped virtual image like a ghost, and what it presented was the image of a pale nun with a blurry figure. Immediately after the nun's phantom appeared, she looked at the woman sitting behind the desk, and then He opened his mouth slowly in a cool voice.

"In Ivig Diocese, Antonio reported the news half an hour ago. Escorted by the Third Escort Fleet of the Knights of the Sacrament, a fleet of pilgrims bound for Ivig was hijacked. The hijacked pilgrims plus ships There are 620 five people in total, including the sailors of the Knights and Knights.”

Listening to the nun's phantom report, the woman in red on the chair didn't react immediately, but after a moment's pause, she spoke slowly.

"The third convoy of the Knights of the Sacrament... I remember that they encountered a large-scale interference in the dream world in Navaha not long ago."

"Yes, before that they also encountered the sinking of a cruise ship involving the Sea Abyss Sect, and the current Navaha incident can be preliminarily determined to be related to the 'Shadow' association Black Dream Hunting Group."

The nun in the phantom continued to report to the woman in red respectfully. After listening to her words, the woman rubbed her temples, and then picked up several other documents about the escort fleet on the side table. Information, said with a sigh.

"In just over a week, this fleet has encountered so many things in succession. Is this a touch of fate? So... what exactly is going on with this hijacking? ? What about the loss of the fleet? Is it possible to know who did it?"

"According to the news from the Diocese of Ivig, the hijackers used the method of manipulating sea fog and currents to bypass the escort warships, and hijacked the three pilgrim passenger ships alone. Apart from the loss of the passenger ships, there was no other loss. The hijackers have already reported to Di They claim to be the residents of the Xiashu Islands who conquered the sea, and they demand that the outskirts of Iviga stop the forced reformation against them and promise to respect their beliefs, otherwise the safety of the pilgrims cannot be guaranteed.”

The virtual image of the nun continued to focus on the report of the woman in red. After listening to her report, the woman in red couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Natsuki? I remember well...they seem to be the remaining believers in primitive abundance."

"Yes, among the many remote islands in the southwestern sea area of ​​Keno Island, there are many remaining rich beliefs. In recent decades, the Diocese of Iviga has placed the main mission of enlightenment in that area, which has made many islands successful. under the guidance of the Three Saints.

"Due to the long-term stability and profound belief in abundance here, the Diocese of Iviga has taken many compulsory measures in the process of enlightenment. According to the data, during the nearly 30 years when the former archbishop of Iviga, Justin, was in power In the southwestern islands of Nuo Island, there were 43 cases of purification, 42 cases of forced relocation, and only 7 cases of successful Huairou conversion.

"Compared to other suburbs that are in contact with primitive beliefs, this is a very high number. Therefore, in this area, the resistance against the church is very widespread, and this summer tree is the main force. The current Archbishop Antonio is succeeding Justin In the two years since he took office, he has advocated a more moderate and gentle policy, but has not achieved any real results so far.”

The virtual image of the nun continued to report to the woman in red. Hearing what the nun said, the woman holding the document could not help but sigh.

"The previous contradictions have accumulated so deep, how could it be effective in such a short period of time, Antonio wants to make some achievements, it is not too much to give him ten years, but now it is good, suddenly such a thing appears, It will seriously interfere with his original plan."

The woman in red said with a sigh, while the phantom nun paused and then spoke.

"Such a result, for His Excellency Hilbert, is probably what he expected."

"This is naturally what he wants, a small matter, a small matter picked out by those ancient heretics, a small matter that can be used by him to make a big fuss and expand his influence, huh... .. Tomorrow he will probably use this to make a big fuss in front of the Holy See."

The woman in red was such a responder, and her eyes revealed tiredness that could not be concealed. It seemed that for her, the occurrence of this incident was not what she wanted to see.

"I think this hijacking incident happened a bit strangely. According to the current information, the Third Convoy of the Sacrament just changed its command because of the Navaha incident, and immediately encountered Xia Shu's hijacking. And the incident tonight Being able to be a bargaining chip for Hilbert to put pressure on you, thinking about the relationship between His Excellency Hilbert and the referee, could it be that he is secretly..."

The phantom nun spoke to the woman in red with a guessing tone. Hearing what the nun said, the woman raised her eyes, and then spoke immediately.

"Don't make random guesses about a cardinal. This matter is very risky. There is no need for Hilbert to take the risk...Compared to him, this matter is indeed strange, but compared to Hill Bot, I doubt even more that this is Haiyuan's handwriting."

"Haiyuan Cult... Do you think there are shadows of the Abyssal Snake believers behind this incident?" Listening to the woman in red, the phantom nun frowned and said, while the red-clothed nun The woman answered in the affirmative.

"Of course, one-third of the problems at sea are caused by them behind the scenes, and one-third are related to them. Besides, it is also beneficial for them to intensify the conflict between the natives and us.

"Since Justin became the archbishop of Iviga and took tough measures against the natives of the remote islands for decades, those islands have indeed converted a lot, but in contrast, the frequency of activities of the Sea Abyss Sect in the corresponding sea areas has also increased significantly , According to the statistics of the official secret agencies of the countries that conquered the northern shores of the sea, there were 542 extraordinary incidents involving the sea abyss that were confirmed in the past year alone, more than 100 more than the previous year."

"Our enlightenment is actually strengthening the strength of the cultists..."

"Yes, under Justin's strong pressure, the aborigines secretly turned to Haiyuan, and a large number of survivors who were purified and relocated were absorbed by Haiyuan Cult. While Haiyuan Cult gained abundant manpower, it also gained a lot of benefits. A less fertile and extraordinary legacy. Heh... While our 'civilization' activities are in full swing, the forces of real cultists are growing rapidly, not only in Ivig, but also in other fringe parishes .

Chapter 420 Seven Keys

"There is evidence that Haiyuan played the role of a provocateur in a series of incidents between us and the Far Islands. This is why I want to implement a softer policy, but I did not expect such a sudden change. File matter."

Rubbing her forehead, the woman in red said wearily, the situation in front of her was not optimistic.

"As far as I know, the natives of the Xiashu Islands belong to the most stubborn group among the Keno Southwest Islands, and the possibility of being gentle is low. Even Archbishop Antonio has planned to evict them, but after this incident , forced eviction may have to be upgraded to purification.

"At this stage, Archbishop Antonio is organizing a rescue operation for the pilgrims, but no matter whether the rescue is successful or not, Xia Shu's ending will not be much better. Archbishop Antonio's plan will be disrupted, and the policies we implement will also be disrupted. will be hindered..."

The phantom nun continued to report to the woman in red, and hearing the nun's words, the woman in red's face darkened even more.

"What a terrible situation..."

"Is there any turning point in this matter?" The phantom nun tentatively asked, and the woman in red who was lying on the chair also shook her head and said.

"Unless Xia Shu announces his conversion on the spot, repents and surrenders all the abductees automatically, there is no room for improvement, but for them who dare to do such a thing in order to maintain abundance and fight against forced eviction, this is not right. It's possible... so it's almost like there's no turning point..."

The woman in red murmured with a bit of distress, in the current situation, Xia Shu's ending is already doomed.

For the huge supranational organization of the Radiance Church, although Xia Shu's matter is only a trivial matter, this trivial matter has special significance because it is stuck on a more critical point, and it can be understood by the church. Different powers are used to produce great influence.

"Okay, I've made things clear, you can step back first, I still have to prepare for how to face those guys before the Holy See tomorrow."

The woman in red said this to the nun's phantom, and the phantom nun wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, she asked with some concern.

"Your Excellency Hilbert and the others will attack menacingly tomorrow, I'm worried about you..."

"Don't worry... Hilbert and the others can make a fuss about the trivial matter, I also have... the command of the third convoy of the sacrament was detained, it was the handiwork of the referee, if there is such a thing, I don't As for being too passive, you should step back first."

The woman in red said this to the phantom of the nun, after hearing her words, the phantom of the nun paused slightly, then bowed to Qi, and gradually disappeared into the room.

After the nun's phantom disappeared, the woman in red looked at the empty room, and after staring at it for a while, she murmured to herself.

"Plenty..."

After finishing speaking, the woman in red began to pull out a blank piece of paper, put it on the table and began to write something. After writing a full page in beautiful and beautiful fonts, she wrote her own Name - Amanda Pettit.

......

Time flies, the moon sets and the sun rises, and soon the night passes and the day comes.

The three hijacked passenger ships were still sailing on the endless sea, driven by the extraordinary power of the water flow and the power of the steel boiler, they were sailing towards the south far away from the main continent at high speed.

After a long voyage, the pilgrims and passengers on the three ships have gradually realized the fact that they have been hijacked, and a small riot broke out. They maintained order on the three ships by means of a method. They said that almost all the passengers were locked in their own cabins to block their actions. The pilgrims trapped in their own cabins could only be alone in panic. They were praying, praying that the grace of the Virgin Mary would send a miracle to save them.

After treating all the sailors and hijackers, Vanya got a more comfortable and proper living environment, and at the same time received stricter surveillance. For such a situation, Vanya followed Dorothy's advice and did not respond These Natsuki hijackers are fighting, but try to cooperate with them in various affairs, and it is best to gain their trust.

As for Dorothy, at this time she had successfully arrived in Troyes on her own boat. After she arrived at the station, she did not go to the White Stone Masons Guild as originally planned, but first found a hotel to stay in, and then went to work all day long. In the hotel, Vanya and the other three hijackers who were engraved with puppet marks observed the situation on the three ships.

At the beginning, Dorothy was trying to find an opportunity to seize control of the ship, but in the end she completely gave up the idea of ​​armed conflict after thinking of the powerful ability of the water magician at sea, and then Dorothy began to focus on The focus is on collecting intelligence, but because these summer tree hijackers usually speak their own language when they communicate with each other, Dorothy can't understand it, so this intelligence gathering has not achieved much for Dorothy. big progress.

In this way, with the passage of time, another day passed like this, and at dusk of the second day after the three ships were hijacked, they finally arrived at their destination after sailing at high speed.

From the boat alone, it was a rather huge island. From the different eyes on the boat, Dorothy could see, under the twilight light, the large lush trees on the big island, and the trees between the trees. There are looming stone buildings in the space, and the most conspicuous among them is a giant tree that rises from the forest like a dream tree.

Contrary to Dorothy's previous imagination, the aborigines on the Xiashu Islands seem to have no barren island primitives. They have a considerable level of education. On the cliffs of the island, Dorothy saw a towering lighthouse. In the bay of the island, she also saw not too small stone ports, which were full of various fishing boats, most of which were made of sails and wood, but there was also an obvious The iron fishing boats with chimneys are obviously powered by steam. It is clear that the situation on this island is not too closed, and they have communication with the outside world.

After entering the bay, the port of the island began tense scheduling for more than an hour, and finally vacated enough space to park the three boats in the port successfully. After that, a group of soldiers wearing simple patterned robes and national costumes held Various types of firearms came to the port, cooperated with the hijackers to suppress all the pilgrims off the boat, and then the trembling pilgrims were divided into different batches here and sent to different places through the stone path. Surrounded by a burst of warm welcome, the hijackers returned to their own city on the avenue, and what awaited them was a celebratory dinner.

And Dorothy on the distant continent was waiting for the night to come, waiting for the time when the long-tired hijackers, who had not closed their eyes for two days, would sleep peacefully.
