Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy handed him four sigils directly, and then spoke.

"Deal, now you can tell me about the ceremony, by the way, remember to ask me for 20 pounds."

"Hehe... no problem, just wait a moment."

While talking, Aldridge walked slowly towards a door in the basement, and after a while, he came out of the door with an envelope and a few notes in his hand.

"Here, Miss Messhouse, everything you want to know is here, but I still want to remind you a little bit, although it is very small, there is still poison awareness in it, you'd better be prepared when you read it .”

Seeing the letter that Aldridge handed over, Dorothy's eyes lit up. Finally, her promotion was settled, and now Dorothy just wanted to go home immediately and open the letter.

Chapter 40 Directions

Looking at the letter in front of her, Dorothy was a little excited for a moment, but after she recalled Aldrich's words just now, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

'It's poison awareness again... I've never felt it before, but a bunch of people take it very seriously. Do you want to take this opportunity to ask? '

Dorothy thought like this, and then spoke directly after organizing her words.

"Sir, there is another question I want to ask you. Do you have any understanding of the 'knowledge of poison'?" Dorothy said, trying her best to express that she was not ignorant of poison knowledge. known.

"The understanding of drug awareness... Oh, Miss Messhouse, this thing is not comprehensible." Hearing Dorothy's words, Aldridge laughed and said, after hearing what he said Dorothy was taken aback for a moment.

"Can't understand? Why?"

"Because... 3 pounds of consulting fees..." Aldrich said, shaking his hand, seeing him like this, Dorothy looked indifferent, and then returned 20 pounds of the 3 pounds she had just received, and then After collecting the money, Aldridge spoke again.

"Because no one can understand the knowledge of poison. It has existed since ancient times. It exists in all knowledge, especially the mysterious knowledge. Acquisition of mysterious knowledge must endure the torment test of poison knowledge. Those who practice mysterious knowledge but cannot bear poison knowledge will go crazy at the least, die at the second, and lose control at worst. Knowledge of poison is a threshold that stands in front of all mysterious seekers. , is a serious obstacle for extraordinary people to climb up along the road."

While speaking, Aldrich's expression became serious.

"Regarding drug awareness, many people have done research, but in the end there is no result. No one knows what it is and why it exists. We will always only know its phenomenon but not understand its essence. It can only be resisted with experience. This is the poison of knowledge. If anyone in this world can understand the essence of knowledge poison, then I am afraid that only gods...

"About knowing poison, that's all I know...even most Extraordinary people. This information is not worth a lot of money, so I will charge you for it. Finally, I will warn you about Miss Methhouse. Read the mystery. You must be prepared, I think you should have a corresponding method."

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy was slightly taken aback, then nodded silently,

'Knowledge of poison... The poison that exists in knowledge is unclear in nature and form, but is it really an obstacle for all Extraordinary people to climb up? '

……

The streets of Igwent at night are brightly lit, the street lights on both sides of the street are all on, there are still many shops on both sides of the street, and there are still pedestrians walking on the sidewalk, although it is not as good as the city in Dorothy's previous life. The bustling rate at night, but it is much stronger than Wokan.

On the street, there were carriages coming and going, and Dorothy was riding in one of them at this time.

After saying goodbye to Aldrich, Dorothy was about to go home, and then she found that there was no carriage for her to go home, just as Dorothy was thinking about whether to use the corpse puppet ring to manipulate a dead horse to ride back Aldridge showed up in time, and enthusiastically provided Dorothy with the school carriage.

Then I charged Doro 10 coins, which was nearly 10 times more expensive than a normal taxi.

"Nima, this guy is essentially a businessman. He makes a small amount of money. What a craftsman!" '

Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy crossed her arms and couldn't help thinking sullenly that Aldrich's character of suddenly revealing a charging item really made her a little depressed.

But in a sense, this is also a manifestation of his discipline, but it is not all bad. For example, before Dorothy left, Aldrich promised not to disclose his information, no matter the other party The Anyin Bureau is still the Red Communion.

"Don't worry, Miss Messhouse, since we have done several business deals, you are a customer of our Craftsman Union. According to the rules, I will never sell any customer information."

Dorothy recalled what Aldrich said, thinking that if the other party really kept the secret as she said, then she would still feel at ease.

The members of the Crimson Communion failed this time, but they did not go back alive. In this case, the Communion would not know the extraordinary information about Dorothea Methhouse, and they would only attribute the failure to Gray Hill He intervened, thinking that the actions of his subordinates accidentally alarmed Huiqiu.

'I can't be passive like this. After the promotion is completed, I can consider starting to take the initiative to fight back. But then again, how did the fellows of the Holy Communion manage to know my information so clearly?I knew my itinerary last time, and this time I know which school I went to... I feel a little bit wrong...'

With all kinds of doubts, Dorothy continued to sit in the carriage and drove all the way. Soon the carriage drove to Nanyanghua Road and stopped in front of the apartment building where Dorothy lived.

After saying goodbye to the school coachman, Dorothy went upstairs with her schoolbag as usual. When she opened the door, she saw Greg who was putting on his coat.

"Oh... Holy Son, you are finally back, Dorothy. I thought something happened to you. You don't usually come home so late." Looking at Dorothy at the door, Greg breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, Dorothy shrugged her shoulders and opened her mouth easily.

"Don't worry about Greg, I just asked the teacher for a while at school about my studies, so I came back so late. You know, our girls can't take evening classes, so there is always a gap between our grades and boys. Since If there is a teacher who is willing to tutor me after class, then I must cherish the opportunity.”

Dorothy said with a smile, Greg couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what his sister said, and then said happily.

"After-school tutoring? This is really great. What a kind teacher. If you can really improve your academic performance, you must thank him well. I can buy some gifts for him someday."

"There is no need for gifts... The money I spent with him is enough for ten years of tuition..."

Dorothy complained secretly in her heart, then entered the door to put things away, and then had dinner with Greg. During this process, Dorothy suddenly had a thought and asked Greg.

"By the way, Greg, do you need to register your family's information to work in the company?"

"Family information... um... because the work we do is a bit dangerous, and if something goes wrong, we need to contact the family, so the family information needs to be registered." Greg said to Dorothy after thinking about his excuses , as a member of the Security Bureau, family review is absolutely necessary.

"That's it... Then Greg, do you need to explain the situation to the company when you ask for leave?"

"That's for sure, otherwise, why would the higher authorities grant you leave." Greg said as it should, and then said to Dorothy with some doubts.

"What are you asking all of a sudden?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I just want to learn about the situation of various companies in Igwinter in advance, so as to prepare for employment after graduation." Dorothy said nonsense, but Greg was listening to Dorothy's nonsense. Then he started to get serious.

"After graduation... I tell you, Dorothy, I told you before that you should not think about a job like mine. In my opinion, it would be good for you to become a lawyer in the future. You may not know it, but now you are a rich man Lawyers are inseparable, this line of work is very popular! Otherwise, you can also take the civil servant test, and the civil servants in Igwent are also very good, I have come into contact with some because of work..."

From then on, the following dinner time became Gregor’s lecture-like employment guidance time to Dorothy. Dorothy’s mouth twitched slightly, and she patiently listened to Greg’s nagging for a long time. After the meal, I quickly left as if I was fleeing from a disaster.

Carrying the schoolbag and walking into her room, Dorothy immediately locked the door, turned on the desk lamp, took out an envelope from the schoolbag, and sat down in front of the desk.

"My employment direction has been determined a long time ago..."

Looking at the envelope in her hand, Dorothy murmured slightly.

Chapter 41 The Guide

In Eagle Winter at night, in the apartment building next to Nanyanghua Road, Dorothy carefully opened the envelope bought for 100 pounds in her hand, took out more than ten pages of paper, and found that the more than ten pages The paper appears to be a page torn directly from some book.

"This is directly tearing the book to me..."

Looking at the pages in front of her, Dorothy thought of this, and then began to carefully read word by word. According to Aldrich’s reminder before, the content contained in it did contain a small amount of poison awareness, so when Dorothy read It has to be done with caution.

After Dorothy glanced at it casually, she found that these pages originally belonged to a book called "General Knowledge of Stepping Steps". The paper was very new, and the words were also printed. Comfortable, soon, Dorothy read the main content.

……

After a preliminary understanding of spirituality and how to accumulate spirituality, the path of the Extraordinary has been opened to us, and the next thing that needs to be introduced is a preliminary understanding of the ranks of the Extraordinary.

In the hidden world, the higher the Extraordinary, the stronger the power, the longer the lifespan, the more profound the knowledge, the more able to understand the essence of the world, transcend the mundane, and sublimate life.And Extraordinary people also have obvious ranks from high to low.

Within the scope of the mortal world, the stages of extraordinary people are divided into five stages, and various secret associations will assign different names to each stage. There has never been a fixed name, but due to the widespread existence of the White Stone Craftsmanship Guild , They have a lot of transactions with the world's major association forces, so their internal common name has gradually been generally accepted, and has gradually become the mainstream of the hidden world today.

In the nomenclature system of the Whitestone Craftsman's Guild, the initial stage of the Extraordinary rank is called "apprentice" or "plain stone", and the next four are all called the four steps of alchemy.

The order is "black soil", "chalk", "red into", "gold".

……

Seeing this, Dorothy couldn't help but nodded slightly, thinking that the influence of the Artisan Merchants Alliance is really great, and it has gradually standardized the titles of the hidden world ranks.

After reading the broken pages, Dorothy also had a general understanding of the hierarchy division of the hidden world. In this way, the apprentice level of the "cup" is the "thirsty". Abbott, the one who joined Ke, should be at this level, and Greg is probably an "apprentice" to deal with him, but it's not clear what kind of spiritual path he is taking.

Dorothy continued to look down, and the next content was the key point. Here are the promotion ceremonies for all the initial stages of spirituality.

The following content is a combination of dense text and complicated patterns, some vocabulary is jerky and difficult to understand, but after working hard, she still read it all.

Greatly relieved, Dorothy leaned back on the chair in front of the table, rubbing her temples.

At this time, the system in Dorothy's mind had already indicated that she had completed the new secret biography, and she directly extracted spirituality without thinking too much, because this secret biography did not tend to any spiritual theme, it was a comprehensive book Occult books, each kind of spiritual content has one point, so Dorothy directly accumulated 1 point for each kind of spirituality, and because of the nature of knowledge, there is an extra point of enlightenment.

Now, Dorothy has accumulated 10 points of "Enlightenment", 6 points of "Cup", 5 points of "Shadow", 1 point of "Lamp", 1 point of "Stone", and 1 point of "Sabi".

At this moment, Dorothy's "Enlightenment" spirituality is full, which can meet the needs of promotion, but she is not very happy now, and this is because of the promotion ceremony.

Indeed, as Aldrich said, all initial spiritual advancements are very simple, and they are basically the same, with little difference.

All spiritual promotion ceremonies only need to draw a simple magic circle with this spiritual symbol, supplemented by some common incense materials, but the most important thing is that the initial promotion ceremony needs a "guide".

Yes, the guide, all spiritual initiation promotion ceremonies must have a guide who is at least an apprentice and who is spiritually compatible to preside over the ceremony. The ascendant guides the spirituality, and then the guide ceremony can be successful.

For Dorothy, the spiritual fulfillment she needed for her advancement was now fulfilled.Those auxiliary materials are very common, and they are not mysterious items. Just go to the street to buy them. If they are not on the street, then Aldrich must have them.All kinds of spiritual symbols are drawn in the book, just follow the pictures.The key is the guide.

If Dorothy wants to be promoted to an "Enlightenment" Extraordinary, then she must have a senior "Enlightenment" Extraordinary who is at least an apprentice level to preside over the ceremony for herself, but she has nowhere to find "" The Extraordinary of Enlightenment.

In Igwent where I am, the Crimson Communion is the association of "Cup", and Aldrich is the Extraordinary of "Stone", both of which have nothing to do with "Qi". A Beyonder without "Enlightenment", this so-called guide has no idea where to look for it!

Thinking of this, Dorothy couldn't help but feel depressed. She had no idea how to find the Extraordinary of "Qi", and even if she found it, so what?If it's not relative, why should the other party help me?

'Could it be that the path of 'Qi' will not work?Why not just become an apprentice with Aldrich, carve stones for a few years to accumulate the spirituality of 'stones', and let him be a guide when the accumulation is full? '

Dorothy thought of this, then shook her head and denied the idea, not to mention that her current "stone" is only 1 o'clock, I don't know when it will be full, even if it is full, please ask for it Derich is the guide, God knows what kind of sky-high price that guy will charge.

'Promotion fee...1000 pounds...'

In Dorothy's mind, Aldridge put his hand on her hand with a kind smile, and then decisively dismissed the idea of ​​turning to the "stone" path.

With a trace of distress, Dorothy picked up the pages of the book again and began to read, wanting to see if there was any other way. After carefully flipping through, she soon found a book that could replace the guide. method.

In the last few paragraphs of the page, alternatives are written if there is no guide.

The first is to find items with rich spirituality to replace the guide's spiritual guidance, but such a ceremony is far less stable than the guide's ceremony, and it is prone to failure, and has higher requirements for the quality of the promoted.

The second is that you can pray to the high-level divine being hidden in the world. If the prayer attracts the attention of a certain being, if he is happy, he can also act as a guide and help complete the promotion ceremony.

Of course, the possibility of an unknown person being able to attract the attention of a divine being is quite low, and even if it could, the outcome would probably not be positive.

Chapter 42 Interface

Sitting in front of the desk, Dorothy looked at the last few paragraphs on the broken page by the lamp of the desk. The replacement plan for the guide recorded on it aroused Dorothy's interest, and then she began to think about the possibilities one by one. .

'Spiritual items with matching attributes can replace the guide?If this is the case, I need to find items containing "Qi", but "Qi" mainly exists in knowledge, where can I find items containing "Qi"! '

Dorothy thinks like this, it is obvious that the nature of "enlightenment" is difficult to be contained in physical objects, and it is absolutely very difficult to find it, at least it is difficult to get it with my own means now. That is to say, ask Aldrich if he has it there. Even if he has it there, it is absolutely expensive.

"However, this method seems to be more reliable than going directly to the Extraordinary of 'Enlightenment', you can write it down first..."

Immediately afterwards, Dorothy began to think about the second plan.

"Pray to a high-level divine being, and if the other party is happy, he can also act as a guide for the ceremony. This... feels less reliable than all the previous plans..."

Dorothy thought like this, let alone whether the high-level divine being would take care of her pawn, even if she did, who can guarantee that he will help him with kindness?It is also clearly stated in the broken page that even if there is a response, the result will probably not be positive. This result is completely uncontrollable, the risk is too great, and you may end up playing yourself if you are not careful.

More importantly, the current Dorothy doesn't know any high-level divinities at all. The only gods she knows in this world are the three saints of the Radiance Sect. God knows if those three saints really exist. Even if they were all there, there would be more than a billion people praying to them every day. It would be a ghost to be able to control Dorothy, not to mention that from the current situation, the church is also anti-mysterious and anti-esoteric. Wouldn't Rosie throw herself into a trap by praying to the God of the church?

Leaning back on the chair, frowning, Dorothy fell into deep contemplation. She was thinking about how to find a guide for herself...

"Hey... what should I do? It's definitely not reliable to find someone, and I don't know where to look for things. It's even more outrageous to find the existence of divinity, and I don't even know how to find them... "

Dorothy murmured softly, and just as she finished speaking, another voice suddenly echoed.

"I don't even know how to find it..."

Hearing the inexplicable voice in her head, Dorothy was taken aback for a moment, and then straightened up on the chair.

'What was that... just now? ! '

Dorothy thought about it in amazement, and then realized that the voice in her head just now seemed to be her own?And it was still the words he murmured, although only the latter part.

'What's wrong, what I said will echo in my mind?What kind of disease is this?Or some other mysterious phenomenon?Or the so-called drug awareness finally broke out, and I lost my mind? '

Dorothy thought in her heart, he was immediately taken aback when he thought that this might be a drug awareness attack, and then immediately started to think of a way.

'No, I have to try...'

"Hey... Hello... Can you hear me?"

Dorothy murmured a few words softly again, and then there was no such echo in her brain as before, which once made Dorothy wonder if she had some illusion just now.

'No, think about it carefully...how did the words just now appear...why did only the last point appear, and it was not complete? What did I say in the last sentence of the sentence just now...'

Dorothy thought about it, and then tried to speak silently again.

"It seems that...you don't even know how to pray..."

After Dorothy finished speaking, the echo reappeared in Dorothy's mind.

"Do not know at all……"

'Fuck...'

Seeing this situation, Dorothy immediately suppressed her inner emotions, and then began to think carefully about the common features of what she said when the two echoes appeared, and then she immediately came to a conclusion.

'I seem to have an echo in my brain immediately after I said my prayer? '

Having come to this conclusion, Dorothy decided to try again immediately, and then she whispered again.
