Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Chapter 420: Abundance

Conquer somewhere in the sea, a remote sea area away from the main route, the main island of the Summer Tree Islands.

Xiashu Islands is a piece of sea area. There are more than a dozen large and small islands that are not far apart. The largest main island is quite large in area, which can almost catch up with the half-county of Preet. Among them, there are hidden ancient towns, and the people living in them are the ancient people named Xiashu.

The most spectacular scene on Xiashu Island is the towering giant tree that is almost 100 meters high. Compared with the low forests on the island, this giant tree can be said to stand out from the crowd. The lighthouse on the top of the tree is even more prominent. Under the giant tree, there is hidden the largest town on the main island of Xiashu.

In this ancient town hidden in the dense woods, the road paved with irregular stone slabs leads in all directions in the woods. Climbing along the house walls, there are also low stone houses made of rough stones. The stone walls of the houses are covered with moss. Occasionally, some simple wood carvings can be seen placed beside the road. Almost all of the carvings are abstract plump female images, and there are traces of prosperous trees carved on the wall pillars of many houses.

In this town built among the woods, there is a harmonious natural atmosphere everywhere. If it is not for the tense atmosphere diffused in the city, it will definitely make people feel relaxed and happy.

On the stone road, weeds grow out of the gaps in the bricks and stones. On the road, people wearing distinctive and plain robes are passing by. Some are carrying fruits and some are carrying fish baskets. Each of them There was a hint of worry in their eyes. Occasionally, some people stopped on the street, discussing with each other with uneasy expressions, and some people stopped when passing by female wooden sculptures, with Restless look devoutly praying.

In a large house somewhere in the town, a group of young people are having dinner around the bonfire burning in the house. In front of them are rich grilled fish, fruit, barbecue, and even some strange flour products, and even some similar Alcoholic drinks, these young men are almost all fighters involved in the hijacking of church ships, they toasted and drank under the auspices of Bahoda, and happily ate the food in front of them.

At the banquet, the celebraters chatted and laughed with each other in an enthusiastic atmosphere. Although each of them had a smile on their face, there was a faint uneasiness hidden in the depth of each smile, but no one was there. This was supposed to be a lively banquet, expressing this untimely emotion.

Finally, with the passage of time, the sun in the sky completely sank below the distant sea surface, and the summer tree island at dusk ushered in the night. At the end, just as the banquet was ending, a frowning man who had been drinking sullenly from the beginning to the end turned his head to look at Bahoda, and then spoke.

"Bahoda, you said that the Radiance Cult will really agree to our conditions and respect our beliefs?"

Listening to the man's words, there was a sudden silence at the banquet where the group was about to break up, all eyes were focused on Bahoda for a moment, and after a slight pause, he spoke slowly.

"I don't know...Although I can't confirm what Huiguang's attitude will be, what I know is that no matter what, Xia Shu is inseparable from the blessing of abundance. We have been blessed by the goddess for thousands of years, and Xia Shu has long been inseparable from her. he

"This time, we can only say that we have grasped a ray of hope in despair, but for the final result, I think you'd better be mentally prepared."

Bahoda said so, and then he left the meeting place alone, leaving the soldiers on the scene to look at each other, and then got up and left one after another.

After the banquet, the people who attended the banquet left the scene one after another and walked to the streets of the town. They did not stay too long, but returned to their homes individually. Due to the intense escort these days, they were mentally exhausted When they got home, they hardly did anything and then fell asleep. After a while, they fell asleep one after another.

And just as they fell into a deep slumber, a mysterious and extraordinary force came from the other side of the distant sea. Among these sleeping warriors, three of them suddenly opened their eyes. He got up slowly on the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the street scene outside the window with dull eyes.

"Finally...it's time for you to fall asleep on your own. Now, let me use this body for the time being..."

In the city of Troyes on the far side of the sea, Dorothy in her pajamas sat in her hotel room and muttered. At this time, she used the puppet imprint buried in the bodies of the three of them, Controlling them up while they were asleep, they became puppets completely controlled by Dorothy.

After super-remotely controlling the three meat puppets, Dorothy immediately got them all out of her house, and came to the town under the tree to carry out investigation activities. Now that Vanya is imprisoned, in a distant place Currently, Dorothy can only collect information through these living puppets in order to carry out her own rescue plan.

Although she knew that there was a high probability that the church would organize a rescue operation, Dorothy did not plan to place all her hopes on them. She wanted to at least ensure Vanya's safety amidst the accident.

The core goal of Dorothy's operation this time is to ensure the safety of Vanya, and to ensure the safety of other pilgrims as much as possible on the premise of achieving the core goal.

Although Dorothy felt that these natives who fought for freedom of belief were sympathetic in a sense, and wondered whether they could be saved so that they would not suffer terrible disasters under the revenge of the church afterwards, but she thought Thinking about it, Dorothy didn't think of any way to save this nation, and she didn't know how to deal with this sharp conflict of beliefs.

In short, although Dorothy also wants to save more people and prevent disasters from happening, but with her current ability, she is still unable to interfere with such a big matter, and keeping Vanya safe is the minimum requirement .

Then, Dorothy manipulated the three meat puppets to wander around the streets of Xiashu Island at night, went to different locations to collect information, and confirmed the specific information on where the pilgrims and Vanya were being held. The conclusions drawn were not very good.

From the investigation information obtained from different perspectives, Dorothy can roughly judge that the pilgrims on the three boats have all been escorted ashore, and they have been divided into several parts and held in various places on the island to prevent them from being attacked by the Church. Rescued out in one breath.

These aborigines have sufficient guards in each location. If one location is attacked and rescued, the hostages in other locations are likely to be torn apart. In this case, even if the church comes to rescue, it may be very difficult. Rescue everyone in one breath, and the result of forced rescue may cause considerable casualties.

At present, Fanya is being held alone in a hut in a lake on an island. The location is very hidden and the guards are very strict. If the church carries out a forced rescue, the danger of Fanya being torn apart will be very high.

Surrounded by water on all sides, around the hut that can only be accessed by rowing, I don’t know how many water magicians are guarding, and the opponent’s terrain advantage is great.

Now Vanya doesn't have any weapons at hand. Dorothy wants to strengthen Vanya to make her break through the encirclement. The danger is very high. In the past, Vanya had the ability to fight against the power of the Cretaceous, which was great. To a certain extent, it relied on the Banquet Seal, and now Dorothy's Banquet has been used up, and it is difficult for Vanya's swordsmanship to be unleashed without the sword. Escaping from below is quite difficult.

'It's troublesome... With such an arrangement for this group of natives, not to mention the other pilgrims, even Vanya will have a hard time getting away. If the church comes to the rescue, I feel like it won't save many people. ...'

Chapter 420: Abundance

After completing the preliminary investigation of the situation at the scene, Dorothy thought with a little distress in her heart that for now, the possibility of her wanting to rescue Vanya safely and smoothly under the condition that her body is not there very small.

Although she is not very clear about the situation on the church side, judging from the current situation, if they don't use the extraordinary power of Chicheng level, it may be difficult to rescue everyone, but almost all Chicheng in the church have guards. The city plays a role in deterring large cults, so the possibility of rushing over in person is very low.

Facing the situation in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but frown slightly. From what she knew so far, Vanya was in a very dangerous situation, and her chances of forcibly rescuing her were very low. And the church's She's totally clueless, and she doesn't place expectations on things she can't control.

'It seems that we have to do a more detailed investigation to see if we can find some other clues that can be used.'

Dorothy thought in her heart like this, and then she let the meat puppet under her control continue to move forward in Natsuki's town, looking for other useful clues.

Because this town is at the foot of the conspicuous giant tree on the island, because Dorothy also let one of the puppets go in the direction of the giant tree, and while actively avoiding the sight of the residents of Xia Shu, how many A meat puppet manipulated by Rosie finally approached the towering giant tree.

Afterwards, Dorothy found a scene that surprised her under the giant tree. Under the giant tree, there was actually a big open-air temple! This is the place of worship on the island!

At the foot of the giant log, there is a wide square. Around the square, there are tall logs one after another. The logs are engraved with complicated patterns, like tall pillars that have lost their roofs.

In the center of the square, there is a huge burning bonfire. The braziers around the square also illuminate the surrounding environment. On the edge of the giant tree, there is a huge wooden goddess statue that seems to grow naturally from the ground.

The figure of the goddess is plump, her face is blurry, and she seems to be holding something in her arms. At the four corners of the square, there are four altars.

Seeing such a scene, Dorothy was stunned, and then immediately manipulated the living puppet to lean up cautiously. Through the vision of the living puppet, Dorothy could see that there were many aborigines on the square. Even at this time of night, there are many people kneeling in front of the goddess statue, as if they are praying some kind of pious prayer, and there are strict guards around the open-air temple.

Dorothy let the living puppet enter the open-air temple to observe more carefully. She first inspected the patterns on the pillars that looked like lush vegetation, and then inspected the statue of a goddess that grew out automatically. The more she looked at these things, A sense of familiarity grew in her heart, and she felt as if she had seen this kind of stuff somewhere.

'Strange...Have I seen something similar before? Have I come into contact with the belief on Natsuki Island before?'

Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she manipulated the living puppet to go to the four corners of the open-air temple to check the four altars.

Dorothy carefully observed the altars at the four corners of the open-air temple, and found that they all had similar structures but differed in details. Their main body was a thick wooden square platform, and the bottom of the wooden column was engraved with There are fine patterns, and reliefs are engraved on the top of the column, and four different images are engraved on the four square platforms.

These images are, respectively, a sailor with a naked upper body, stepping on the waves and looking into the distance; an old man stirring a cauldron with a stick in his hand; a hunter in fur with a bow and arrow in his hand; and a graceful dancing girl.

In front of the altar with the image of a sailor, there are several fresh and huge sea fish placed as offerings, as well as a basin overflowing with clear water. The disturbance formed a small vortex that was constantly rotating. Around the sailor's square, there were gorgeous flowers blooming, and some young people were also worshiping in front of the altar.

On the other hand, the other three altars have no tribute, and no one worships them. Although there are flower buds on the side, they are not open at all. Compared with the statue of the goddess and the altar of the sailor, the other three altars It seemed quite lonely.

When she carefully looked at the four altars and saw the four images on them, Dorothy immediately understood where her sense of familiarity came from. I saw it in the movie, I saw it in the secret biography of Adele's teacher, Darlene.

Among the hanging paintings collected by Darlene, and among the large number of notes she wrote, Dorothy once had a glimpse of the belief on the Xiashu Islands, which is the belief of the goddess of fertility! It seems to be before the afterbirth The "cup" of the gods!

"So that's how it turns out... It turns out that this group of natives, like Adele's teacher, are contemporary adherents of the Abundance Faith. I wonder why this open-air temple looks so familiar..."

In the hotel room, Dorothy rubbed her chin and muttered, about the general appearance of the temple, about the style of the goddess statue, about the decorative pattern, about the four altars... Dorothy Xi has actually seen descriptions in Darlene's notes.

The fringe mountainous area where Darlene was born, like this Xiashu Island, is a remnant of the belief in abundance in this world. She has done sufficient research on the belief in abundance that she believes in, and there are many notes about abundance in her notes. The detailed information, from the appearance and art style of the temple to the daily ceremonies, has been described. Dorothy had only seen the appearance of the abundant faith in Darlene's notes before, and now she finally saw it with her own eyes. .

Darlene once described in her notes that the belief in abundance is a belief that advocates the harmonious coexistence between man and nature? There is indeed such a flavor on the streets of Xiashu Island. I did not expect that this group of Xiashu indigenous beliefs actually It is the goddess of abundance, in a sense, it also explains where the extraordinary ability of their path of waves comes from...'

Witnessing the scene of the temple in the distance, Dorothy thought clearly in her heart that after confirming that the object of worship of these Xiashu natives was the goddess of fertility, she had a thought in her heart.

"Perhaps... you can try this. Although it is a little risky for Vanya, it is at least better than being a hostage who has been sitting there waiting to die."

Dorothy thought in her heart like this, and after thinking about it for a while in the room, she immediately took out her magic box, took out "Wen Hai Hang Zhi" from inside, and after unfolding to a certain page, thought After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and wrote the message on it.

......

Tivian East District, Feiteng Grand Theater.

Tivian in the dark night, the wonderful program in the theater is being staged as usual, the audience cheers and applause one after another, tonight is the same as the previous night, it is a sleepless night.

In the backstage of the theater, in the exclusive and independent luxury dressing room, Adele in a bright red dance dress is in front of the mirror, putting on makeup seriously on her body.

Suddenly, Adele raised her eyebrows as if she had sensed something, then she put down the eyeliner in her hand, looked at her charming self in the mirror, and murmured with a slight smile.

"After traveling for so long, I finally know to send me some letters~

"But with her temperament, it's probably not a greeting, but some troublesome extraordinary event..."

With a slight smile, Adele took out one of her magazines from under her dressing table, and after flipping through one of the pages, Adele saw a line on it that just appeared not long ago Word.

Not long after examining the text, Adele touched her chin with great interest, and then murmured softly.

"About the beliefs and rituals in the teacher's hometown... Hehe, where did the little detective go..."

......

Chapter 420 IX Suggestion

Conquer somewhere in the sea, the main island of the Summer Tree Islands.

Xiashu Island at night, deep in the island, there is a clear lake among the dense forests. In this dark night, the clean lake water reflects the stars and moon in the sky, and the gentle breeze blows over the lake. ripple.

In the middle of the lake, there is a wooden house supported by countless wooden poles. In this small wooden house, a nun in white clothes is sitting quietly on the floor of the teacher, and she, who is restricted in her freedom, is looking out of the window. Pray silently under the shining of the stars.

"Lord... please keep everyone safe, please keep all innocent people safe from disaster."

Vanya, who was imprisoned in solitary confinement, prayed so devoutly. At this moment, she sincerely hoped that all the chaos would have a peaceful ending, and she sincerely hoped that God could prevent the tragedy from happening, although it might be hopeless.

'Now...I can only wait for the rescue of Miss Dorothea or the church, but if someone from the church comes, the island will surely be destroyed, not to mention the original island Residents, how much can I and other pilgrims escape? I don’t know if Miss Dorothea has a better solution...'

Sitting in the empty cabin, Vanya thought in her heart that the puppet imprints she had planted on those kidnappers should be being used by Dorothy somewhere, and she hoped that Dorothy would take advantage of this What are the results of the activities carried out by several imprints on the island.

And just as Vanya was expecting in the wooden house, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

'Great Akka...I now request a direct dialogue with Sister Vanya, please build me a bridge...'

Hearing the words in her mind, Vanya was slightly taken aback. Having experienced similar incidents before, she immediately knew what was going on, and then she immediately said in her mind.

'Is it Miss Dorothea? Are you making progress there?'

"Yeah, thanks to your help, I was able to conduct this level of investigation on this island. Generally speaking, I have indeed found some interesting information just now, information that can help you get out of trouble."

In Vanya's heart, Dorothy's words sounded directly. After hearing Dorothy's words, Vanya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued to think.

'Phew...is that so, then this would be the best, so do you need my help in your next plan?'

"Of course you need, or you are the key to my plan, Vanya, now listen to me..."

Then, Dorothy explained her thoughts in Vanya's mind, and Vanya in the room also sat on the spot and listened carefully, and the more she listened, her frown became more serious.

'This... is this your plan? I, can I do it?'

After listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya spoke with a worried tone, and Dorothy's comforting words immediately came to her heart.

'Don't worry, I'm sure you're totally fine, I'll keep watching you and help you, just like we did when we were dealing with that werewolf named Smith.'

"Like the last time we went back to the werewolf mansion?"

Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya murmured uncomfortably. After some hesitation, she felt that it was indeed not the time to sit still. With her long-term accumulated trust in Dorothy, she decided to cooperate with Dorothy again. Rosie's plan.

In this way, after Dorothy and Vanya planned and prepared for a long time through the exchange of information channels, everything was finally ready. Sitting on the floor of the wooden house, Vanya took a deep breath, and then looked out the window at the starry sky.

Then, Vanya calmed down, walked silently to the tightly closed door of the wooden house, reached out and knocked on the door twice, and then began to wait quietly.

After a while, the door of the wooden house was opened, and behind it appeared several vigilant men in Xia Shu's costumes. They were staring at Fanya with weapons in their hands, and Fanya was He spoke to them in a friendly and polite tone.

"Good evening everyone, I have something to think about and I want to meet your Priest Fengshu, may I ask?"

Vanya spoke to the two guards in front of her in Ivigan, and after the two were stunned for a while, one of them spoke directly in the unfamiliar Ivigan.

"No...you are a prisoner now, and you are not eligible to meet the priest."

"Can't see you? That's a pity... I have... some news from the church that just needs to be conveyed to him."

Vanya continued to speak to the two guards without being fooled, and the guard who could understand Iwig was slightly taken aback after hearing what Vanya said, and then blurted out.

"Information from the Radiance Cult, how did the Radiance contact you? They asked you to convey their reply?"

The guard questioned with a serious expression, while Vanya nodded silently with a smile, affirming the guard's words, seeing Vanya's response, the guard did not dare to neglect, and left immediately.

"please wait for a moment."

Not long after the guard left the wooden house, he brought another person over. Vanya was familiar with the figure of that person. He was the leader of the group of kidnappers, Bahoda.

"Is there a way for the Radiance to contact you? Did they respond to our request? What did they say?"

Bahoda looked at the nun in front of him and asked hurriedly, while Vanya just continued to speak with a silent smile.

"I need to meet Priest Fengshu, and I need to have a direct conversation with him for a lot of things."

Fanya said this, and listening to Fanya's words, Bahoda couldn't help being taken aback. After thinking about it for a while, he finally answered.

"Okay, I'll take you there now, you'd better not use any tricks."

In this way, under the leadership of Bahoda, Vanya walked out of her prison cell in the lake, rowed to the shore by boat, and under the guidance of the lights, the boat quickly docked on the shore , Vanya, who got ashore, went to the town while being escorted by Bahoda all the way in the dark night.

Along the dark street, everyone came to the square in front of the tree, which had become empty and radical, and then Vanya, led by Bahoda, walked around to the back of the giant tree, where a huge wooden longhouse stood.

After walking up the wooden steps, Vanya and Bahoda came to the door of the longhouse. Here, Bahoda asked Vanya to wait in front of the door first, and then entered the longhouse by himself. Not long after, Bahoda came out and said to Vanya with a serious expression.

"Lord Amman let you in."

Listening to Bahoda's words, Vanya walked into the longhouse, and then she came to a not-so-big wooden interior room, which smelled of strong herbs, and a bunch of flowers hung under the roof. Another bunch of different types of hay, some small broken bones and dried meat hanging on the wall, and an old cloth painting with trees printed on it, there is no table in the room, and various bottles are placed in the corner Bottles and jars, the center of the house is a stone pit built with stones, and the raging fire burning inside provides dim light for the house.

At the back of the stone pit, an old man wearing coarse clothes, a hemp rope around his waist, and a grey-haired man with a ravine face was sitting on the ground. He looked at Vanya with solemn eyes, and then spoke with a smoother Iviga language said.

"Over there, how did you respond to our conditions? Sister?"

Although Amman's words were not in a hurry, but in the depths of his eyes at the moment, there was anxiety and expectation. Now he is eager to know Huiguang's attitude, and he is eager to know his desperate move What kind of response will it bring, and what is the fate of our own nation?

While Amman was waiting for Fanya's reply, Fanya turned around and glanced at Bahoda behind her, and then said to Amman.
