Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

In this way Dorothy began to read page after page.

On the grass by the Jingyi River, under the lush canopy, a quiet and beautiful girl is concentrating on the books in her hands. The grass and the hair of the girl are moving gently with the river wind, and the fallen leaves are falling. The delicate wind and water The sound resonates.At this moment, if the book in the girl's hands is changed from a taboo secret biography to a literary classic, then it is the scene when a literary girl first appeared in a typical youth school drama.

It's a pity that I can't change it.

……

In the house at No. 22 Yumu West Lane.

In a well-decorated study room, a middle-aged man in pajamas, of medium build, with bald hair and loose skin, is sitting in an easy chair, holding a cigarette, looking serious, in front of him On the carpet, there were two men kneeling on one knee.

"You said... the severed finger of the "cup" appeared at the meeting in Huiqiu? And it was obviously made by the society?" In the smoky study room, the middle-aged man looked at the two prostrating men in front of him and said seriously Arrived, and the other party responded immediately.

"That's right, Mr. Burton, even Huiqiu said it belonged to the society, it's absolutely correct!"

"The seller didn't dare to come forward in person, so he sent a brat to come to the assembly site to make a deal, and finally exchanged the treasure of the society for a secret biography from Huiqiu. We tracked him all the way, but we didn't expect that guy to jump halfway to the iron Mud River!"

Listening to the reports of the two men, the middle-aged man named Burton was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then he spoke after taking a puff of cigarette.

"The appearance of that trafficker...have you remembered it?"

"Remember, that guy is probably in his twenties, well-dressed, a little tall, a little thin, and his skin is a little pale, as if he is sick..."

In this way, the two men tried their best to describe the appearance in memory. Since they got very close to the target during the tracking process, they also explained the physical characteristics of each other quite clearly.

But listening to the words of the two in front of him, Burton's brows became more and more wrinkled.

Finally, after taking a long puff of smoke, Burton put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray beside him to extinguish it, then he slowly got up from the easy chair, went to the desk beside him, and rummaged through the drawer After searching for a while, he took out a photo, then stepped in front of the two men, and handed them the photo in his hand.

"Is it this person?"

Listening to Burton's words, the two men immediately looked up to confirm, only to see that it was a man who was exactly the same as they had seen before.

"Yes, yes! It's Mr. Burton!"

The two men quickly nodded to confirm that Burton was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and then snorted coldly.

"Humph……"

Immediately afterwards, Burton walked to his desk, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of dark red thick, foul-smelling liquid, and then he picked up the cup and handed it to two kneeling men.

"Divide among yourselves..."

"Thank you sir for your grace!!"

After the two men took the teacups filled with the dark red thick liquid, they hurriedly closed the door and left in ecstasy, while Burton, who stayed in the study, glanced at the photo in his hand and looked at the back of it.

It had "Edric" spelled out in red pen on it...

Then, Burton came to the bookshelf, and stretched out his hand to turn the candlestick on the side wall, and then the bookshelf slowly opened amidst a series of mechanism sounds, revealing the dark room behind.

In the dark room, there is a small altar that is half a person tall and built of bloody human bones. Four candles are lit around the altar. The light from the candles shines on the fresh blood on the human bones. There are uneaten pieces of meat.

On the altar, there is a blood skeleton with a lot of flesh and blood remaining, and on the top of the skull of this skull, there is an ear, yes, a blood vessel inserted into the bone cover, like a root system deep in the skull A human ear that wrings out flesh and blood inside.

Burton stroked the ear in front of him, watched it squirm slightly, and then spoke slowly.

"Gentlemen, the matter of Abbott has a clue, and I have found out who leaked the information to the Security Bureau.

"Edric... that humble rat who knows no good or evil! He is not dead and is not secretly controlled by the Security Bureau! He betrayed us! He let Albert die in Vulcan! And now he is bringing us The things stolen here are living in this city swaggeringly!

"We must make him pay the worst price!"

Chapter 24 Dream Explorer

Night in Igwent, upstairs in the apartment on Nanyanghua Street.

"Hey, Dorothy, how are you doing in town today?" In the living room, Greg, who had just finished dinner, leaned on the sofa and said to Dorothy on the other side.

"Hmm...it feels good. Igwent is bigger than I imagined. It's not like our village can compare. Zishan Town is far behind. I went to the lower city today and look for opportunities later. Go somewhere else." Standing in front of the balcony, Dorothy responded to Greg while drinking a cup of hot milk, and Greg frowned slightly after hearing what Dorothy said.

"Downtown... the law and order there is not very good, Dorothy, you are not in any danger." Greg warned, and Dorothy answered bluntly with a smile.

"Nothing~ I just went shopping, played hide-and-seek with the two dogs in the city, and finally went to the river to read a book, no problem."

"Play hide-and-seek with two dogs... and go to the river to read?" Greg, who was leaning on the sofa, couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Dorothy's words, and said with a smile after thinking for a while.

"Hehe, Dorothy, you are still the same as before. You like animals and read books."

"Almost, is this a good habit, isn't it?..." While talking, Dorothy put the clean cup back into the kitchen to rinse it, and then waved to Greg.

"Good night Greg, see you tomorrow."

"Well, rest well Dorothy, I'm going to bed too."

After entering his room, Dorothy immediately closed the door and locked it. Then he sat down at his desk, took out an old book from his bag and put it on it.

This is the secret biography, "Dream Explorer".

During the day, Dorothy had already finished reading all of this old book. This book is not much thicker than the previous fragments of "Deconstruction of the Eucharist", so it can be done in an afternoon.

While reading the book, Dorothy paid close attention to her mental changes, for fear of being polluted by the knowledge of poison that she heard at the meeting, but she did not feel any strangeness until the end of the reading.

The so-called knowledge of poison seemed to not exist for Dorothy.

'Or is the accumulation too little?Or is it that not every secret biography has knowledge of poison?None of what I read happened to be?or...'

For such a phenomenon, countless ideas emerged in Dorothy's mind, but because they could not be verified for the time being, they stopped thinking deeply and turned to thinking about more urgent issues now.

'First of all... I studied "Dream Exploration"... The knowledge in it directly accumulated 3 points of 'Enlightenment' spirituality for me, and 2 points of 'Shadow' spirituality. '

Looking at the old books on the table, Dorothy thought, yes, since the book of souls is full, she still can't exchange "Dream Explorer" for knowledge of other worlds, so she will "Dream Explorer" The spirituality in "was extracted and accumulated as before, seeking promotion.

The spirituality extracted from "Dream Explorer" is 3 points of "enlightenment" and 2 points of "shadow".

This shows what?

She already knew it before, but all knowledge contains "enlightenment", but it will never be much, and it will not exceed the theme of the secret biography itself. Finally, the accumulation is 5 points of "cup" and 2 points of "enlightenment".

This is because the theme of the remnants of "Holy Body Deconstruction" is "cup", which mainly talks about the knowledge of "cup", so there will be more "cups", and "enlightenment" is because of the nature of knowledge, as long as you practice the secret No matter what the theme is, there will definitely be biography, but the content will be lower than the spirituality of the theme of the secret biography.

And what about this "Dream Explorer"?It actually extracted 3 points of "Qi" and 2 points of "Shadow", and "Qi" accounted for the majority.

Does this prove that the theme of "Dream Explorer" is "Enlightenment" and "Shadow"...

The "enlightenment" here is also one of the themes, so Dorothy was given an extra spirituality of "enlightenment"...

Thinking a little deeper, if there are two themes of "Enlightenment" and "Shadow" in a secret biography describing dreams, does it mean that people's dreams are closely related to these two spiritualities?

Just like the relationship between flesh and blood and the "cup", Dorothy speculated that dreams have dual attributes of "enlightenment" and "shadow". After all...everything has spirituality, even dreams are no exception...

Shaking her head, Dorothy stopped thinking about such esoteric questions about the nature of the world, and turned to the questions in front of her.

Now she has accumulated 5 points of "Enlightenment", 5 points of "Cup", and 2 points of "Shadow". From the follow-up inquiries of her system, she knows that the upper limit of all her spiritual accumulation is 10 points.

In other words, as long as she accumulates 5 more points of "Enlightenment" and 10 points, she will be qualified to be promoted to an extraordinary person on the path of "Enlightenment". Although it is not known what the specific ceremony is, at least there are If you set a goal, you should work hard here first, and you can always find things like rituals if you look slowly.

After being promoted, her soul book can also be expanded, and she can redeem more knowledge of other worlds.

Although... Dorothy has quite a lot of "cups" on her body now, and she can meet the conditions for being promoted to "Thirsty One" if she accumulates them casually, and the ceremony is very clear. Just do it there.In a sense, it is obviously more convenient for Dorothy to be promoted to the Extraordinary of "Cup", but helplessly, "Cup" really does not conform to her aesthetics, so she resolutely refuses.

"Huh... don't think about it so much, it's time to get down to business tonight."

Taking a long breath, Dorothy cleared the thoughts in her head, and then began to prepare for tonight's business.

Learning knowledge is not only for accumulating spirituality, but also for practice. She has finished reading "Exploring Dreams and Strange Records", and now it's time to try dreaming.

The "Dream Explorer" bought from Dorothy Gray Hills is a secret biography of the carrier of fairy tales and fables. It records some fairy tales, all of which are related to dreams.

The most typical is a story called the Snitch and the Miser.

The story tells that a snitch turned into a bird with a spell in his dream, flew into the dream of a miser, and stole the secret of the treasure buried by the miser from it. He kept stealing the miser's wealth, but he was not satisfied, and continued to steal the miser's wealth secrets again and again, and was finally discovered by the miser in his dream. In the dream, the miser used another spell to turn into an eagle, killing the Snitch. become birds and eat them.

In addition to this story, there are other stories in this book, but they all have one thing in common. The protagonists of the stories all use spells in their dreams to transform into various animals and accomplish various things. .

If the whole book is full of stories like this, it will inevitably be difficult for people to understand, but in addition to the stories, there are annotations in this book.

Before her, someone had studied the book and left various notes explaining its contents.

While thinking, Dorothy opened "Dream Explorer" and turned to the page of the Snitch and the Miser. In the blank space of that page, there were a lot of comments written on it.

Dorothy looked at the longest of them.

……

"So...it's easy to wake up and fall into a dream, you just need to follow the few tips I summarized before, but entering the dream world requires special operations.

"You can see that the characters in the story turned into animals with spells in their dreams. This is actually a metaphor for the way to enter the dream world. I will directly conclude that the spiritual body of a mortal cannot directly enter the dream world. Therefore, we have to mimic part of our souls as creatures in the dream world in the form of mimicry, which is why the characters in the stories are always transformed into various animals.

"Those spells are the spells of mimicry. When you chant a spell in a lucid dream, you can mimic the dream world as a creature that immediately sees the door to the dream world. After entering, you can travel in the dream world in the form of an animal. Different spells can mimic different animals.

"Remember! Although the imitation spells are the ones mentioned by the characters in the book, they are ineffective if spoken in ordinary common language. They need to be spoken in the language of mysticism. Elvish... ghost language... abyss Language...especially those few key words, the effect of the Mimic Spell will vary greatly depending on the language used.

"The language must therefore be chosen carefully!"

Chapter 25 Language

'Mysterious language...is there any other more spiritual language in this world? '

Looking at the annotations on the book in her hand, Dorothy thought in her heart that she had exchanged the three-character Nirn dragon language with Preet's common language before, and the words contained in a thousand common language words Spirituality is equivalent to a dragon language character.

If Dorothy wants to redeem other dragon language characters and only redeem the lingua franca of each country, wouldn't she have to learn eight foreign languages?This is really inefficient. If there is a more spiritual mystical language in this world, the efficiency should be much higher.

While thinking about it, Dorothy continued to look at the old book in her hand, the last part of the long comment on it was also the most important part.

Here, the annotator sorted out the obscure content in the prophecy story into clear spells, spells of imitation in dreams. Although there are many stories in the book, the annotators seem to have limited energy and only sorted out one, which is the story of the snitch and the miser. In the story, the spell of the snitch turning into a bird in his dream.

……

"First of all, it is not necessary to use the language of mysticism in the entire spell. It is enough that the key field is a high-level spiritual language. It's harpy.

"Harpy is the language of the Harpy. They were active from the second to the third era, but now they are basically extinct. Their empire was once the overlord of the sky, so many rituals related to flying, birds, beasts and the sky Both spells and spells require the use of harpy, and this is no exception.

"According to my conclusion, the spell for mimicking birds in dreams is.

"In the name of Shunur, I will grow wings, my strength can soar to the sky, and my balance can pass through the storm."

"Note, the beginning of 'Shunur' refers to a god, in the secret history, he is called 'Black Death Sweeping Wing', 'Sky Reaper', is the triple realm of 'stone', 'lamp' and 'Ji' It is said that he once ruled the sky, so he was worshiped by the harpies, but now he has fallen, so there is no need to specialize his name here, just read it directly in common language, and put it in front of the spell just because of the format It's just a request, not asking for His power."

"The next step is the key. The next two keywords, 'strength' and 'balance', must be pronounced in harpy language. Sorry, I have limited harpy language skills and don't know these two words, but in After comparing the translation of 'Abyssal Language', I can barely deliberate and conclude the two most likely two pronunciations, one is 'yita' and the other is 'yaya'."

……

"The pronunciation obtained after deliberation...is it reliable..."

After complaining a few words to herself, Dorothy closed the old book in her hand, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. Now everything is ready, and she will try the spell after falling asleep.

Then Dorothy put the "Dream Explorer" into the suitcase, closed it, and stuffed it under the bed, and then she changed her pajamas again, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed.

After covering the quilt, Dorothy lay on the bed and began to follow the method taught in the old book to self-suggestion. The method was very simple and effective, and soon Dorothy fell asleep feeling drowsy.

……

Opening her eyes, Dorothy found herself in her own room, and after looking around, she got down from the bed.

At this time, the room was silent, there was no sound of any kind, it was terribly quiet.

"So... I should be in a dream now?"

Talking to herself, Dorothy glanced at the gas lamp on the table, and then the lamp suddenly lit up without anyone operating it.

Dorothy was sure that this was a dream, her dream, and she had entered the dream in a waking state.

After the confirmation was completed, Dorothy smiled slightly. Now that she was awake and dreaming, the next thing she had to do was to recite the incantation, mimetically transform into a bird, and then enter the dream world.

Recalling the contents of "Dream Explorer", Dorothy closed her eyes and began to chant the spell.

"In the name of Shunur, I will grow wings, my strength can soar to the sky, and my balance can pass through the storm."

Dorothy was chanting a spell. According to the requirements on the notes, most of her spells were recited in common language, but the key words "strength" and "balance" were transformed into "yita" and "yaya" in hawk language.

After the chanting was over, Dorothy waited for the change. Suddenly, a puff of purple smoke spread around her body, covering her figure. When the smoke dissipated, it was indeed not a flying bird.

On the floor of the room, where Dorothy was originally standing, there is a very strange fish swinging at this moment. Wings like feathered chicken wings, a big tail constantly flapping the floor, fish eyes wide open, mouth wide open, like a big salted fish that is dehydrated and dying of thirst.

"bump!"

With another burst of purple air, the weird salted fish that had been flopping on the ground turned back into Dorothy, who was coughing in the smoke.

"Cough cough cough... What the hell has changed? Is that thing a bird? It's about the same as a salted fish!"

Coughing and complaining loudly, Dorothy also began to have doubts in her heart at this time, why she suddenly became such a strange thing.

'Could it be that I spelled it wrong? '
