Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Listening to Dorothy's response, Anna couldn't help lowering her head in disappointment.

"That's it... Thank you so much, Mr. Methhouse, for praying to the gods for a precious gift..." Although she was disappointed in her heart, Anna still thanked Dorothy and said, Seeing Anna like this in front of her, Dorothy smiled slightly, and then continued to speak.

"However, this matter is not without a chance. They can be saved without God's gift, and this chance of salvation is now in your body, Anna."

"I……"

Listening to Dorothy's words, confusion appeared in Anna's expression.

……

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the day comes.

After the night passed, Shandian Hospital ushered in the day again. Doctors and nuns were shuttling in the corridors, busy with their work. Except for a little commotion caused by cats and dogs that broke in last night, everything was in harmony with It's the same as usual.

In front of the gate of the hospital, James, a middle-aged man in formal attire with a moustache and a few strands of gray in his hair, stood here, looking into the distance, looking at his watch from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, a carriage came from afar and stopped at the gate of the hospital. In front of James, the driver got off the carriage, opened the door, and a man got out of it.

This man is about 50 to [-] years old. He is wearing a suit and a top hat. He has stubby limbs, a fat belly, and a cigar-smoking face with piled up flesh. When he saw James in front of him, his face was straight. Squeezed out a flattering smile.

"Oh...Mr. James, you arrived so early. It was my fault for letting Mr. James arrive first. I am here to apologize to you, to apologize."

Looking at James in front of him, the man took the cigar from his mouth and bowed with a smile. His tone was full of flattery. Looking at his performance, James also said with a smile.

"There is no need to apologize, Baron Harud, it's just that I arrived early, and you are very punctual."

"Hahaha... This is your invitation, Mr. James, can I not be on time? To be honest, I have an advantage, that is, I will never be late for a party, even if I am here in Igwent. "The man named Harud continued to speak to James with a smile, and James responded.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you have misunderstood something. I didn't bring you here to have a party, but to show you something."

Chapter 130 Inheritance

"Not a party? Take me to see something?"

Listening to James' words, Harud said with a puzzled expression that he had not been in Igwinter for a long time, and he received an invitation from James, the big man in Igwinter, and thought it would be a game of Igwinter high-class people. It's the right party, I didn't expect the other party to say directly that they want to show me something?This confused Harold for a moment.

"Um...Mr. James, I don't know what you want to show me..." While talking about Harud doubtfully, he looked towards the hospital behind him, thinking about what there is to see in the hospital.

"Oh, please come with me."

Facing Harud's question, James smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the hospital gate behind him. Seeing this situation, although Harud was confused, he followed him in without hesitation.

Following James' footsteps, Harud walked in the corridor of the Shandian Hospital building. The pungent smell of disinfectant made him pinch his nose, and he glanced at the weak patients lying on the benches beside the corridor with disgust. Contempt flashed in the eyes of the civilians who lined up to see a doctor. He felt very uncomfortable with the noisy environment in this public hospital. It seemed that if James had not invited him, he would have left here in a blink of an eye.

Following James, Harud turned left and right all the way to a secluded corridor in the hospital, and after passing through a large iron gate with security, he came to a special area with iron fences on the outer windows , there are strange sounds echoing in the space here, it seems that many people are howling in the distance.

Entering this slightly weird place, Harud was a little flustered, but he continued to follow James forward, and after a while, he came to a corridor. The wards on one side of the corridor were full of There is a solid door made of iron, and the abnormal patients inside can be seen through the windows with iron bars.

These patients are all children in their teens. They live in their respective wards. Some are crying, some are struggling, some are biting the sheets, and some are tied to death on the bed...the sound of hammering on the door and howling Intertwined together, it presents a scene of a mental hospital vividly.

"Jane, Mr. James, this is a lunatic asylum, these are all lunatics, you, why did you bring me to such a dangerous place!"

With a somewhat panicked expression, Harud said to James who was on the side, and James spoke silently.

"Your Excellency Harud, these are not lunatics. They are all children adopted by Viscount Field for charity in the past few years. Unfortunately, Viscount Field's convoy was attacked by wild wolves in the mountains and died unexpectedly. The convoy witnessed the cruelty of the beast cannibalism and the death of Viscount Field, and was frightened into this appearance."

James slowly explained to Harud. After listening to his explanation, Harud paused slightly, then looked at the children in the ward in front of him, and then tried hard to squeeze out a trace of it from his face. sympathy, and then said in a regretful tone.

"Oh...these are the children adopted by His Excellency Viscount Field. This is really pitiful. As an orphan, it was clear that he was finally adopted by my kind cousin and able to live a prosperous life, but it is a pity. People, they are all in this pitiful state now, are they going to be like this for the rest of their lives? Holy Father... why did you recall my benevolent expression so early and let him do a few more good deeds in the world? okay?"

Harud said with emotion, his expression was moved and sincere, and at the end he even took out a towel and wiped the corners of his eyes. Seeing his performance, James also spoke.

"Your Majesty Harud, don't worry. The situation of these children is not hopeless. As long as there is sufficient time and funds to support them, there is still hope for all of them to return to normal."

"What? They can still get better?!" Hearing James' words, Harud was taken aback for a moment, and then said directly unexpectedly, and James nodded slowly and affirmed.

"Yes, as long as the treatment continues, the symptoms of these children can still be reversed at this stage, but this requires considerable funds. Since they do not have a normal mental state now, they cannot inherit the estate of Viscount Field.

"So, I hope that if you succeed in inheriting the inheritance, Lord Ruoharud, you can continue the responsibility of Viscount Gary Field and provide these children with medical expenses for their continued treatment.

"Although His Excellency the Viscount has left us, I think his charitable spirit is worthy of our inheritance. Your Excellency Harud, do you think so? Your Excellency Harud..."

James spoke to Harud who was on the side. Hearing James' words, Harud's face darkened, and he paused for a while before speaking slowly.

"Ah... What are you talking about...Well, to be honest, Mr. James, you also know that Viscount Field left suddenly. He has no heirs, no will, and no close relatives, so several distant relatives of His Excellency Viscount, including me, came to Iraq. Gwent wants to inherit this property, the competition is actually quite fierce, and I don't know if I can win in the end, so I can't promise anything here, what if I don't inherit it and promise something later? It's not just a joke.

"I see...Mr. James, maybe you can go to other guys who came to ask for inheritance and talk to them. I think the hopes of the others will be a little bigger."

With a smile, Harud said to James, and James answered silently.

"I have already contacted several other people, and they either directly vetoed or responded similarly to yours just now, Your Excellency Harud, you are the only hope for these children now."

"Ah... I've already looked for it..." Hearing James' words, Field was taken aback for a moment, then looked around with a little anxiety, then looked at James and said with a smile.

"Hehe...Mr. James, I think it's too early to talk about this kind of thing. Let's talk about it after I really confirm that I can inherit the inheritance."

Listening to Harud's words, James' face sank, and then he answered.

"Your Excellency Harud, compared to Viscount Field's wealth, this treatment fee is insignificant. With this amount of money to gain a good reputation, don't you really think about it?"

"I have to think about it after I can inherit it. All in all, now is not the time. By the way...I suddenly realized that there are still important things, so I will leave here first, Mr. James."

With an obviously evasive tone, Harud said to James, then gave a slight salute and was about to leave. After James saw this, he asked to keep it.

"Wait a minute, Haru..."

"There is no need to keep him, Mr. James."

At this moment, a childish and clear voice came from the other side of the corridor. Hearing this voice, James and Harud were slightly taken aback. After turning their heads, they saw someone standing in another section of the corridor. With a petite figure.

White hospital gown, thin body, long loose blond hair, big and bright blue eyes, standing in front of James and Harud is a girl in her teens.

"You are...one of those children..." Seeing the girl in front of him, James murmured in recollection, while Harud, who was about to leave at the side, was displeased when he saw the scene in front of him, and then sternly Speak up.

"Where did you kid come from, dare to interrupt our words!"

Listening to Harud's words, the girl saluted slightly, then straightened her back, and introduced herself.

"My name is Anna Field, and I am my respected father. His Excellency Gary Field has publicly adopted the No.7 adopted son in front of the gentlemen and celebrities of Igwinter, and he is now his only and legal adopted son. His heir is the next Viscount Field."

While speaking, Anna looked at James, who looked a little surprised, and then continued to speak.

"Mr. James, you don't need to pin your hopes on these outsiders. These poor people who have been tortured are my brothers and sisters, and I will not abandon them."

Chapter 130: In the Newspaper

In the corridor of the hospital, James and Harud couldn't help being stunned when they heard Anna's proclamation-like words. After reacting for a while, Harud's expression became cloudy, and finally he stretched out his hand and pointed at Anna. He yelled directly.

"Where did the lunatic kid come from! How dare you pretend to be the daughter of His Excellency the Viscount here, Mr. James, let's inform the doctor immediately and lock her back!"

Harud said to James beside him, and James looked at Anna in front of him in silence for a while, then slowly replied.

"There is no need to inform anyone. This Miss Anna is right. She is indeed the adopted daughter of Viscount Field. Not long ago, at the annual charity meeting in Igwent, in front of many people .”

"What..." Hearing James' answer, Harud was stunned for a while, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he spoke loudly with obvious anger.

"Mr. James, didn't you say that the adopted sons and daughters of Viscount Gary Field were all mentally disturbed due to excessive fright? That's why we came to Eagle Winter. What's going on?"

Listening to Harud's words, James looked calm and indifferent. He looked at Anna in front of him and asked in a gentle tone.

"Anna, did anything happen to you? I remember when I came back to see you last time, I was worried about when you would recover."

"Well...Actually...Actually, I don't really know what happened. I have been feeling dizzy for the past few days, but since the past few days, the dizziness seems to have eased up. When I woke up this morning My head was very clear when I was young, and it became the same as before. The doctors and uncles of my situation today are also surprised, and they all say that it is the grace of the Holy Mother." Rubbing her temples, Anna recalled and said, James After seeing it, he nodded.

"The grace of the Holy Mother... If that's the case, that would be the best. Hehe... Anna, your recovery is the best news I have received in the past few days." James said with a rejoicing tone, However, there was still a gleam of light in his eyes.

On the other hand, Harud looked at the girl with a dark complexion, a little shortness of breath, and her body trembling slightly, as if she wanted to yell at something, but after glancing at James at the side, she couldn't yell, and finally he took a few deep breaths After taking a deep breath, he forced a stiff smile and spoke.

"Oh... Father, thank God that there are such miracles in this world. This must be God's reward for the good deeds done by Your Excellency the Viscount during his lifetime. Hehe... It seems that our trip to Igwent is in vain. coming……"

"Of course it won't come in vain, Your Excellency Harud, at least I have seen your demeanor." James on the side said with a touch of humor. Listening to his words, the corner of Harud's mouth twitched slightly, and then he continued to smile. Respond to.

"Haha, if I can be appreciated by Mr. James, then my trip is not in vain. Well, it's time for me to say goodbye. Now everyone in Igwent is still silent in the grief of His Excellency Viscount's accidental death. I Thinking about the good things that are going on right now can slightly dispel this grief."

While talking, Harud turned around and walked outside, but not long after he walked out, his complexion suddenly darkened.

'Hmph, the bastard who doesn't have a drop of Feld's blood on his body wants to inherit the title?What a joke!Just wait, this matter is not over yet...

'Little bastard, when you wake up, you will offend many people! '

With a gloomy expression, Harud walked quickly into the distance.

……

During the daytime, on a busy street somewhere in Igwent, a barefoot newspaper boy was running on the street holding a stack of newspapers, shouting loudly while running.

"Extra! Extra! The merciful and benevolent Viscount Gary Field was killed by a pack of wolves! Seven adopted sons went crazy due to fright, and only one miraculously recovered! Extra! Extra! Compassionate and benevolent..."

The newsboy kept shouting out the heavy headlines, and the crowd around them frightened and gathered around the newsboy to buy newspapers. After a while, all the newspapers in the newsboy's hands were sold out.

On the street, countless pedestrians gathered in twos and threes, watching the newspapers in their hands and discussing, with incredible expressions on their faces.

On the street, a black carriage was driving forward together with the traffic around it. Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy murmured as she read the front-page news about Viscount Fielder's death in the wild. road.

"Oh, it's finally in the newspaper... This time it's not said that the thugs did it? It's also... If there are thugs who commit murder one after another without being caught, it may cause panic. After all, this time they all killed the Viscount. home."

After speaking, Dorothy closed the newspaper and began to think about Anna.

Those of Field's children were not able to inherit Field's legacy because of the insanity caused by drugs and poisons, because Anna only ingested the poison of "Lamb Song", so Dorothy was able to clear it, when Anna's After her sanity returns to normal, her inheritance rights as Field's adopted daughter will come into effect.

As long as Anna can inherit Field's inheritance and become the new Viscountes Field, it will be easy for the Field family to afford the treatment expenses of the other children. This is how Dorothy solves the problem of the treatment expenses of those children. Methods.

Dorothy checked. According to Preet’s law, adopted children have the same inheritance priority as parents and children. Anna’s adoption procedures have been completed. She is now the only heir of the Field family, and the inheritance priority is as high as Those distant relatives can't win any lawsuits.

And Dorothy also has another advantage in doing this, that is, if Anna develops into a follower of Akasha who secretly believes in Akasha like Vanya in the future, then she will be able to borrow the power of the Field family to a certain extent.

For example, in the future, when you are struggling, you can borrow money from time to time.

Dorothy checked, and the Field family is the largest landowner in Igwynn County, apart from the royal government, and a veteran traditional nobleman. If the former Viscounts of Field were willing to spend more money to curry favor with Tivian's upper-class nobles They would have been promoted to Earl long ago.

If Anna can fully accept Field's inheritance, then Dorothy feels that she can spend the rest of her life without working hard and befriend a rich woman.

Of course, at Anna's age, even if she succeeds in inheriting the inheritance, she will probably be judged as too young, and the main property will definitely be entrusted to other third-party organizations to take care of it, and it will not be fully controlled until Anna has full capacity to act, but that is In this way, she should have a lot of funds in her hands.

'So it should be no problem to borrow some money at that time! '

Thinking of this, Dorothy is already thinking about how to speak to her students in the future.

'However, it's not impossible to say that things are safe now. Anna's awakening will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of those who had the opportunity to inherit the inheritance, and her situation will be a little dangerous. '

Dorothy continued to think, but she was not too worried about Anna's safety, because someone would help her protect Anna.

"The drug awareness that affected Anna suddenly disappeared, and the Anyin Bureau would feel that something was wrong. It must be necessary to observe the protection period." '

Thinking of this, Dorothy would definitely arouse the vigilance of the hunters if she detoxified Anna. Most of them would arrange surveillance, but in fact, she was protecting Anna in a disguised form.

Under the eyes of the hunters, ordinary people can't accomplish much.

Of course, as long as there are no other extraordinary factors involved.

Chapter 130 Investigation

On the western outskirts of Eagle Winter, the ground floor of St. Amanda's School.

In the spacious dusty workshop, Aldrich, dressed as a janitor, was sitting on a chair, examining a piece of straw in his hand, and after looking at it twice, he opened his mouth and said to Dorothy in front of him: .

"This is the silence sigil, a type of 'shadow' sigil. After using it, it can greatly eliminate the user's voice, and the thieves like it very much." While speaking, Aldrich put the sigil Yin handed it forward, and Dorothy took it and gave Aldrich 20 pounds.

After the matter about the Holy Communion was almost settled, Dorothy came to Aldrich and asked him to appraise the sigil obtained in the Field mansion, and the appraisal has now been completed.

Looking at Dorothy who took back the sigil, Aldrich's eyes flashed, and then he laughed and said in a teasing tone.

"Recently, there are always big news in the city. The Burton case at the beginning, the Bai Yinhebin case after that, and the attack on Viscount Fielder who just appeared in the newspaper at noon today... almost every time you hear this kind of news. Come to me, is this a coincidence?"

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy blinked.

"That's what you think it is." Dorothy responded indifferently. She knew that she could hide her abnormality from anyone, but she definitely couldn't hide it from Aldrich. In his opinion, her doubts were just a handful. , he clearly knew that he was targeting the Holy Communion, and the recent news had absolutely nothing to do with him.

"That must be it. Hehe... To be honest, Miss Messhouse, your existence really makes me hard to see through. My old bone has lived for such a long time, and I have never been so hard to see through a person. Yes." While talking, Aldrich looked at the eyes of the girl in front of him again, and then continued to speak.

"Your activity seems to be the key to the downfall of the Igwent Sacrament Society. According to the general situation, I might think that there is a powerful force behind you. But the strange thing is, how well you know the hidden world It's very limited, as if it's a rough and secretive newcomer, it doesn't look like it's backed by some huge organization...

"Miss Messhouse, I usually don't get interested in anyone easily, but this time I have to admit that the secrets in you make me curious. Are you willing to put a price on your secrets? I can afford it Prices you can't imagine."

Looking at Dorothy in front of him, Aldrich said solemnly, and Dorothy responded to him without much hesitation.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Aldridge, I don't think there is a shortage of money to sell these things yet, maybe later."

"Hehe...in the future, okay, then I'll wait..." Aldridge said with a smile, he was not surprised by this result.

"Okay, Miss Messhouse, your sigil has been verified, is there any other business?" Aldrich continued to ask, and Dorothy spoke without thinking.
