Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Chapter 450 Contact

"strangeness?"

Listening to Vanya's words, Antonio frowned slightly, while Vanya continued speaking in a low voice.

"That's right, Your Excellency the archbishop, you don't know. During the few days when I was kidnapped, although I was the one who took the initiative to treat Xia Shu, Ye took the initiative to preach to them the teachings of the Holy Mother, but in fact the effect was not very good. Well... Not many of them can listen to what I say. Although I have been trying to make them understand the truth, in fact it has had little effect.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Xia Shu and the others announced their formal conversion very suddenly. They announced that I had educated them when I was completely unexpected... They clearly resisted my words before, but suddenly they It's all on my terms... which makes me wonder if there's some..."

With an anxious tone, Vanya told Antonio the "truth" she had seen and heard on Xiashu Island, but before Vanya finished telling the truth she knew, Antonio spoke with a serious face .

"Sister Vanya, you are worrying too much..."

"Eh...do I worry too much?"

"Yeah, just worry too much, Sister Vanya, you don't have to worry too much about Xia Shu's affairs, and don't doubt yourself, save the entire pilgrimage fleet, and let Xia Shu's 10,000+ marginalized people convert It was you, it was you who educated Natsuki, there is no doubt about it. No one can doubt this, not even yourself... Do you understand?"

With meaningful words and a serious expression, Antonio said to Vanya, his tone exuded a certain dangerous breath, seeing Antonio's appearance, Vanya was startled He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then hesitated to say something, after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.

"I know Your Excellency the Archbishop, I am the one who converted Xia Shu...I won't be confused anymore..."

"Hehe... It's good to know... It's good to know... Holy Mother, Sister Vanya, I have seen the sincerity and kindness in your heart..."

With a mysterious smile, Antonio said to Vanya that he knew exactly what role the little nun in front of him played in Xia Shu's game. In Antonio's eyes, although Vanya was very important, But completely kept in the dark, ignorant of the truth of the overall situation, so some naivety is also reasonable. Antonio did not intend to tell Vanya the "truth" of the matter. In his opinion, this kind of involvement is related to the abyss As a little nun, she still knows as little about the deep conspiracy of the church, the better.

In Antonio's eyes, after learning that the credit for Xia Shu's conversion was entirely on her, the nun Vanya was not dazzled by the sudden great achievement. Instead, she discovered the weirdness and said bluntly Even if it may affect her great achievements. This also reflects the upright character of this Sister Vania who is not moved by fame and fortune. For such an upright and kind little nun who has clear self-knowledge, Antonio can't help feeling the same. A sense of joy arose.

"Regardless of Natsuki's truth, Sister Vanya, at least in terms of character, is a well-deserved servant of the Virgin..."

Antonio was feeling emotionally in his heart, and just as he was about to say goodbye to Vanya and leave, Vanya suddenly whispered again.

"By the way, there is one more thing, Your Excellency the Archbishop. In fact, I have a letter from Amman, the elder of Xia Shu. He secretly entrusted it to me when I left, saying that I should hand it over to Peggy personally. Your Excellency the Archbishop."

"Well, it's written in their Xia Shu language, a letter I can't understand. The elder Amman there asked me to deliver it by myself. I was worried at first that I didn't know how to meet you, but I didn't expect you to directly Picked us up in Adria..."

While talking, Vanya took out a rolled piece of rough paper from her body and handed it to Antonio. Antonio frowned slightly after seeing it, and then immediately used his ability to confirm the extraordinary traces on the paper, After confirming that there was no problem, Antonio picked up the roll of paper and began to read it.

Like what Vanya said, Xia Shuwen was written on the paper, but Antonio also knew Xia Shuwen because he had dealt with Xia Shu a lot. All content has been read.

The content on this letter paper is very simple, it is about Xia Shu's attempt to establish a secret contact with the church.

According to what was written in this letter, at this time, Xia Shu was cleaning and eliminating the spies of Haiyuan Sect as much as possible. It was exposed to Haiyuan Sect, so Amman expressed his desire to replace it with a new line and re-establish a secret connection with Dixin Church.

Amman claimed in this letter that because he was worried about the strong infiltration ability of the Haiyuan Cult, he could not trust the general church personnel, so he sent the most trusted nun, Vanya, to deliver the letter on his behalf.

This letter records a telegram address and a series of codes. As long as you send this code to this address by telegram every day between [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] pm, you can get in touch with the secret telegraph station prepared by Xia Shuxin. Now Now Xia Shu has a batch of Haiyuan Sect information obtained from spies, and needs to be informed to Dixin Church through a safe channel as soon as possible, so I hope that Dixin Church will also send a secret signal as soon as possible, and because of the old The secret contact information has been exposed, and they will not use it for the time being.

'In order to guard against Haiyuan Sect, is Xia Shu going to establish a new secret communication channel? This is indeed reasonable for Xia Shu who has just been infiltrated by Haiyuan, but this contact method is set a little harshly, from noon to noon Five o'clock...send the code to the designated telegram address...but I have to go back to Paige tomorrow morning, is there a telegraph station on the way...I want to send a telegram and there is no place to send it ...'

Looking at the paper in his hand, Antonio thought in his heart that Amman said in the letter that he had some information about Haiyuan Sect to be sent over. Antonio naturally wanted to know the information in time, but if he followed the original plan If we go directly on the road tomorrow morning, there will be no telegraph station for a long time along the way, so we will not be able to receive the message from there.

After reading the letter in front of him, Antonio did not directly make a decision, but after walking out of the venue, he notified the accompanying personnel to send a message to the telegram address that Xia Shu had contacted them before, but as expected, he did not get any reply, so Antonio Convinced that what the letter said is true, Natsuki is trying to establish a new secret channel of communication with them.

After confirming this point, Antonio immediately made another decision, that is, to temporarily postpone tomorrow's trip tomorrow, and wait until he finishes contacting Xia Shu and gets the information about Haiyuan Sect, before setting off to go back, anyway For Antonio, this is just a few more hours of waiting, and Antonio can't afford to wait.

Similarly, because the matter itself involved deep secrets, Antonio did not announce the change of his itinerary at the banquet, and there were very few people in Adria who knew about the sudden change of his itinerary.

......

In Adria at night, when the banquet was still going on in the old lord's mansion, in another restaurant by the water, Dorothy was sitting in a separate private room, before a table filled with a bunch of delicacies, using The pen is writing on a small piece of paper.

On the opposite side of Dorothy, a female college student wearing a white dress with a slightly darker complexion and a proud figure was sitting there, flipping through a booklet with a strange expression, and if she looked closely, it was exactly Guidebook for the Netflow Church.

Nephness, who also came to Adria, looked at the brief map in the guidebook, and looked at the church museum in the square outside the window, illuminated by bright lights, and the strange color in his eyes became deeper and deeper. .

Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Adria.

Time flies, and the time of the night has passed in a short time. When the moon sets and the sun rises in the east, the famous tourist resort of Iviga, Adria, is finally bathed in the sunshine again.

Ushering in a new day, Adria soon became bustling again as usual. Tourists who started a new day of sightseeing boarded the boat of the boatman Mengmeng who had already been in the state of replacement, and began to continue to travel through the city through the waterway. When they opened today's newspaper prepared on board, the front page news they could see was that the welcome banquet hosted and participated by Archbishop Antonio had successfully concluded last night, and that Archbishop Antonio had left Adria early this morning. , and embarked on the journey back to the capital of Paiji.

At noon, in the room of a certain building next to the Adria Church and the Enguang Church, several figures were gathering here at this time. With a glance at their attire, it can be confirmed that the people in this room are almost all people related to the church.

On a seat in the center of the room, Antonio, dressed in a simple white robe and a simple white hat, is sitting here. He was supposed to return to Peggy this morning, but he is still staying in Adria at this time, and what he has done , just a telegram.

Antonio was sitting on a comfortable chair, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it quietly. The wall clock in the room had passed twelve o'clock half an hour ago, and not long ago, Antonio just let his The subordinate sent a telegram to a specified address.

At this moment, Antonio is waiting patiently, waiting for the so-called Xia Shu secret telegram to be replied on schedule like the secret letter he received before, and judging from his demeanor, he is not in a hurry.

Suddenly, there was a sound of intensive footsteps in the quiet room, and after a while, the door of the room was opened, and a man in a light priest uniform stood at the door with a blank piece of paper in his hand, slightly Panting, he said to the people in the room.

"Your Excellency Antonio, there is a call back..."

"Have you called back already? It's pretty fast..."

Listening to the words of the young priest, Antonio put down the newspaper he was holding, and then gave the subordinates around him a wink. After seeing Antonio's wink, these subordinates immediately understood and all retreated together. After a while, only Antonio and the young priest sitting on chairs were left on the scene, and then Antonio spoke slowly to the young priest again.

"Tell me, what did they reply over there? What information did they give us?"

"Your Excellency, according to Xia Shu's reply, they are still in the process of cleaning up the spies of the Haiyuan Sect. So far they have cleaned up several spies from Haiyuan. From these spies, Xia Shu has obtained a lot of information. .

"The most valuable information is about the Shining White Pearl that sank in a shipwreck a while ago..."

The youth teacher responded respectfully to Antonio, and after listening to the priest's words, Antonio raised his eyebrows slightly, and then continued to speak.

"Shining White Pearl? Is that the ship where even the captain is a disciple of Haiyuan?"

"Yeah, that's the one. According to the previous news from the Knights of the Sacrament, the crew of the Shining White Pearl was highly infiltrated by the sea abyss, so its inexplicable sinking should be inseparable from the sea abyss... and According to the statement provided by Xia Shu, they followed the clues of a sea merchant spy and caught the Haiyuan believers among his subordinates. Some of them were once the crew members of the Shining White Pearl. I accidentally learned the inside story of the Shining White Pearl.

"Xia Shu said in the telegram that the real purpose of the Haiyuan Cultists on the Shining White Pearl was to use more than 2000 passengers on the entire ship to sacrifice the sea monster Sea Mohois, but because of the thief K's Because the key item of the ceremony, the Deep Blue Heart, was stolen, the sacrificial ceremony had to be interrupted. Later, the sudden sinking of the Shining White Pearl seemed to be caused by the conflict and even the extraordinary battle between the thief K and the Sea Abyss Cult on the ship. …”

Holding a paper full of handwriting in his hand, the young priest reported respectfully to Antonio. Hearing the words of the young priest, Antonio paused slightly, and then murmured.

"Haimo Hawes? Didn't expect... The truth behind the incident of the Shining White Pearl is actually a sacrifice to the descendant of the Abyssal Snake... The Sea Abyss Sect has not conducted a thousand-person level for nearly 300 years What are they going to do to sacrifice Hemerhays suddenly this time? To lure him up from the black abyss?"

Antonio frowned and said, it can be seen that he still attaches great importance to this information. After all, it is about the sacrifice of thousands of people and the sea monster with the blood of the gods. It is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Such information must be reported to Shenglin Mountain.

"This is indeed very important information. It seems that Amman's letter did not lie to me... Besides the matter of the Shining White Pearl, does Xia Shu have anything else to say?"

Antonio continued to speak to the young priest, but the other party shook his head and continued to speak.

"Not for the time being. Xia Shu said that their reverse osmosis is still going on, and if they get any other information later, they will take the initiative to contact us again."

"That's it, it seems that Xia Shu's opposition to Haiyuan is quite strong, it seems that it doesn't feel good to be used by others..."

Antonio continued to speak with emotion, while the young priest on the side continued to speak.

"They are so active against Haiyuan, maybe they want to vote for us, Xia Shu is probably still worried about whether we will go back and accept their conversion."

"It's natural to have such concerns ... but with all the hype going on, it's impossible to go back on it.

"The information about the Shining White Pearl is still of some importance. Go down and send the details to Sheng Linshan. After everything is settled, we will go back."

"Yes..."

Antonio continued to speak slowly, and after hearing these words, the young priest responded respectfully and immediately retreated, and then only Antonio was left in the room for a while.

Looking at the empty room, Antonio, who was sitting on the chair, did not make any other movements, but quietly began to think about the information he had just obtained about the Shining White Pearl. The Abyss Cultists on the White Pearl are not the sea monster Sea Mohois, but the thief K.

"Rogue K... Judging from the current information, she must be an Extraordinary. She sneaked into the White Pearl and stole the Deep Blue Heart. I don't know what the purpose is. Did Haiyuan Sect Youchou deliberately destroy the ceremony? Or did she simply want to steal something? What was the purpose of her notice letter asking for trouble?

"I don't know the way, I don't know the association, she is really a mysterious woman...Maybe she will know more about the Sea Abyss Sect, why they sacrificed to Hemohays, maybe."

Looking out of the window, Antonio was thinking like this, and at this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside his room. Hearing the footsteps, Antonio looked towards the door, and there was a burst of sound from behind the door. There was a slight knock on the door, followed by another man's voice.

"My lord Antonio, are you there?"

Antonio recognized this voice, it was the voice of Adria's secret police chief Paul, and he had met him many times during his time in Adria.

"I'm here, come in."

Antonio opened his mouth to respond to the voice outside the door, and after he finished speaking, the door was opened immediately, and Paul in a suit came out after him, and after Paul was a man in a bishop's robe Man, he is the bishop of the local church in Adria, Oliver, and Antonio has not seen him uncommonly these days.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, it is really great that you are still here..."

When he saw Antonio Bishop Oliver in the room, he spoke directly with a grateful tone, and seeing the appearance of the two people in front of him, Antonio's eyes wrinkled slightly, and then he spoke immediately.

"In ten minutes or so, I'll be leaving. What's the matter with you all of a sudden coming to look for me?"

"That's right, Your Excellency the Archbishop. Not long ago, Jingliu Church, Enguang Church and the headquarters of the Deep Hidden Guards received this item at the same time. Please take a look."

As he said that, Oliver took out a white card from his pocket and handed it to Antonio. After Antonio took the card, he turned it over and saw that there were short words written on it. After reading it, his expression froze slightly.

"When the night begins to cover again, I will come to the top of the net stream and pay my respects to King Emmanuel's greatest legacy to this city.

"Rogue K."

"This is... a notice letter from Thief K?"

Looking at the words on the card in front of him, Antonio frowned and muttered, he didn't expect that he was only thinking about the thief K, and the other party's notice letter was sent!?

"That's right, it's Thief K!

The thief K that was reported in the newspaper before, she is indeed a Extraordinary thief, she is now eyeing the Crown of Emmanuel, Your Excellency."

Looking at Antonio on the seat, Paul directly said that he had already seen the newspaper about the Shining White Pearl and Thief K, so he immediately understood what this Thief K wanted to do after getting this card.

Obviously, this extraordinary thief is going to start attacking a new target again, and this target is obviously the Adria treasure, Emmanuel's Crown, which is being exhibited on the Jingliu Church!

"This kind of notice letter... is indeed the behavior style of the rumored thief K... This time she will hit the top of Emmanuel's crown, which is also Means... her goal is always just various treasures?"

Continuing to look at the text on the card, Antonio said slowly, before he was still puzzled that the thief K wanted to steal the Deep Blue Heart, was he trying to fight against the Sea Abyss Sect? Or was he simply stealing this treasure? Now it seems that the answer Obviously it is the second one. This thief K is a pure Extraordinary thief who specializes in stealing extraordinary treasures! Her eyes are not only on the Sea Abyss Sect, but now she has the audacity to set her mind on the Church.

"Your Excellency, these teaser cards were found in Jingliu Church, Enguang Church, and Deep Hidden Guard Headquarters at noon today. It can be completely ruled out that it is a prank. Thief K, seize this time." To send this notice letter is obviously to avoid you, Your Excellency."

At this time, Paul said this to Antonio again, and Oliver beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Paul is right, this thief K is obviously afraid of you, Mr. Antonio, so he didn't dare to say anything when you were in Adria, but when the newspaper reported that you were gone, she immediately jumped out The so-called notice letter was sent, but she must have never imagined that you, Mr. Antonio, were temporarily delayed all morning. It was her big mistake that you were still here when she sent the notice letter.

"Although I don't know why this thief K has to send a notice letter to inform others before stealing things, but since she is so presumptuous to play the idea of ​​Emmanuel's crown, it is the biggest thing for us. Provocative, Your Excellency Antonio, can you postpone your trip for another half a day, and wait until tonight to help us capture this arrogant thief together!"

With a serious look, Oliver said this to Antonio, listening to his words, Antonio was silent for a while, and then spoke leisurely.

"I didn't expect that I just waited for half a day for this kind of thing to happen, just in time... I also have some things on my side and I want to ask this thief K in person, if I can see you tonight If she is herself, it would be better..."

Looking at the card in his hand, Antonio said like this, and listening to his words, Paul and Oliver couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment, they both knew that this extraordinary thief who had only been famous for a long time, was tonight I'm afraid it's impossible to escape.

The notice letter was sent after the archbishop left, but the archbishop was delayed due to some incidents, and the notice letter was sent directly to the archbishop... In the eyes of Paul and Oliver, the thief K , has been abandoned by fate.

......

Time flies, and the afternoon passed quickly, and as the sun sank into the western horizon, Adria once again gradually fell into silence.

The night shrouded the entire sky of Adria, and under the night, the little lights lit up, and the lights on the shore and the lights reflected in the water complemented each other, allowing Adria to show its own unique beauty at night.

On the outskirts of Adria City, on a shore far away from the beautiful scenery of the city, a group of figures are gathering here at this time. They are dressed in different styles, and their genders and ages are also different. There are more than a dozen of them. Standing on the cliff, looking at the tumbling sea under the cliff by the faint moonlight in the sky, all the people had a trace of seriousness in their expressions.

In the center of these figures are two men in their thirties. One of them is wearing a windbreaker, with brown skin and a thick beard. The other is wearing a turban, wearing a long robe, and Don't wear a machete.

"What time is it now, Mulfeld? Hasn't Monsieur arrived yet?"

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the man with the beard spoke to the man beside him with a waist knife, and the other party immediately responded.

"Don't worry about Sailimu, our news has been successfully sent to Mr., he will arrive soon, we just need to wait here..."

"Wait here... But here is a cliff, the boat can't touch the shore at all... Did you make a mistake?"

Hearing this response, the man named Sailimu asked Mu Feid back, but the other party continued to speak after a slight smile.

"Huh...boat? You don't think the current gentleman needs to take a boat to cross the sea, Sailimu..."

As soon as Mu Feide finished speaking, a violent sound of waves suddenly erupted from under the cliff, and everyone on the shore looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw a black shadow jumping out of the huge waves in the sea, directly Jumped to a height of more than ten meters, then fell from the air, landed behind them, and hit the ground with a bang.

Hearing this noise, everyone turned their heads to look behind one after another, and then what they saw was the flying dust that gradually dispersed, and the hideous figure behind the flying dust.

It was a deformed figure roughly in the shape of a human being, two to three meters high, with gray and white tiny scales all over the body, and a huge dorsal fin standing on its back. What should have been a human head was now a huge triangular shark's head. There are fangs all over the bloody mouth, and several scar-like slits open and close in the air.

What appeared in front of everyone was such a half-man, half-shark, shark-like strange monster, which shocked everyone at the scene, and many people couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Ignoring the meaning of the crowd in front of him, the "sharkman" who had just landed moved his muscles and bones, patted his chest, and then, a large translucent spirit body emerged from the chest of the "sharkman", suspended in mid-air Among them, swimming beside the "sharkman", it was a large ghost shark.

And when the shark spirit left the body of the "sharkman", the "sharkman" suddenly began to undergo drastic changes all over his body. Visible to the naked eye, his body began to shrink, his scales began to shed, and his fins began to shrink. It also gradually disappeared, and the hideous and terrifying head of the giant shark began to gradually shrink into the head of a normal person. In a short period of time, the weird "sharkman" became a human.

Chapter 450 Contact

At night, in the outer suburbs of Adria, on the shore where the waves beat, the terrifying half-shark, half-human monster is changing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a short time, it will completely recover. It became a human form. It was a man with a thick black beard, dark yellow skin, wearing a soaking robe, and obvious scars on his face. He was around 50 years old. When this man completely showed his figure At that time, all the people on Ya'an lined up respectfully.

Facing the salutations of the people in front of him, the man didn't respond immediately, he turned his head to look at the city in the dark night in the distance, and then spoke slowly.
