Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Forget it, it's getting late, it's time to go back now, get home before Greg goes crazy, lie on the bed and slowly think of a way."

With a thought, Dorothy woke up the corpse of the coachman who was leaning on the carriage as if sleeping, and then drove away slowly in the carriage, heading for the return journey.

……

The next day, the west suburb of Eagle Winter, St. Amanda's School.

In the morning, in the basement of St. Amanda School, the dust was scattered. Dorothy took a scarf and tied it on her head as a dust mask and walked down the stairs to the basement, and saw a new round of sculptures in the basement. Aldrich.

"Oh...it's Miss Messhouse, did you bring any new business this time around?" Seeing Dorothy walking into his workshop, Aldrich stopped the carving knife in his hand, While putting the tools in his hand on the table, he said quite humorously.

"Let me guess, is it the secret question consultation encyclopedia? Or the year-round leave service?"

'You guys still have time to joke around. '

Dorothy thought of this angrily, and then asked straight to the point.

"Do you have a store of 'Lamp' spirituality here?"

"'Lamp'? There are quite a lot of these things in the church. I also do business with the church here, so there are more or less stocks, but not too many. Tell me, how much do you want?" Aldridge didn't hide it either. Instead of tucking in, she spoke directly, and Dorothy responded immediately.

"It doesn't need much, just a little bit is enough, um... almost the minimum amount to complete a small ceremony." After thinking for a while, Dorothy continued to speak.

Hearing Dorothy's words, Aldridge nodded, then turned around and opened the door to enter a room. After a while, he came out of the room with a small box about two fingers in size in his hand.

"The spiritual storage of 'Lamp', the minimum requirement for standard rituals, 150 pounds..."

Aldridge spoke slowly, listening to his words Dorothy couldn't help complaining in her heart.

'Damn... it's so expensive, buying spirituality directly is much worse than extracting spirituality from secret transmissions. '

While thinking, Dorothy took out a booklet with a faint imprint of "cup" from her bag, and there were a few banknotes in it, and took the booklet and banknotes, Dorothy continued speaking.

"This is the secret biography of the 'Cup', the fragment of "Deconstruction of the Eucharist", and there is a firmness fee of 10 pounds, let me estimate the price." While talking, Dorothy put the book on Aldrich On the table in front of him, Aldrich glanced at it and then smiled.

""Deconstruction of the Eucharist" hehe... I have heard that most of the "cup" associations are now compulsory courses for introductory courses. It seems that Miss Methhouse and the Holy Communion have a close relationship."

While talking, Aldrich took the secret biography, came to a workbench, took out the banknotes, and put the fragments of "Deconstruction of the Eucharist" on a magic circle with the imprint of "stone" on it. In the center, after lighting the two incense sticks around the magic circle, he took out a pair of reading glasses from a drawer. The lenses of the reading glasses were densely engraved with mysterious runes.

When the smoke of the incense lingered over the magic circle, Aldrich put on the reading glasses engraved with runes, and then flipped through the dark red booklet very quickly, and glanced at any page. Did not read carefully.

'Is this preventing drug awareness? '

Seeing Aldrich's operations, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart that she, who had never been troubled by drug knowledge, was also very curious about Aldrich's operations at this time.

After a quick glance, Aldrich closed the book of "Deconstruction of the Eucharist". When he finished looking at the last page, the right lens of the reading glasses he was wearing suddenly cracked open. There were several cracks, which surprised Dorothy.

"Hey, that..."

"Hehe, it seems that this pair is also used to the end..."

Aldridge chuckled, then took off the rune reading glasses he was wearing, and looked at Dorothy who was a little surprised on the other side and spoke.

"It's not a big deal, it's just normal wear and tear. Don't worry, you won't be charged extra."

Listening to Aldrich's words, Dorothy also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she had seen such an operation of cracking her glasses after reading a book, and at the same time, she had a certain understanding of the dangers of the so-called knowledge of poison. cognition.

Although it is completely useless to oneself, it is indeed a danger that must be taken seriously by other residents of this world.

"The profundity of secret biography can be roughly judged by the strength of poison knowledge. I just felt the poison knowledge of this book at random... um... I can pay 350 pounds." "After the value of the fragments, Aldridge said directly, and Dorothy nodded after listening.

"Well, then it's a deal, give me the 'lamp', and ask me for 200 pounds by the way."

"No problem." While speaking, Aldrich took out the money from the drawer of the workbench, and put it in front of Dorothy together with the small box.

After collecting the money, Dorothy picked up the small box, examined it twice, and then thought silently.

"After I have this thing, I can also divination..."

Chapter 74 Footprints

Eagle Winter at noon, in a hotel room somewhere.

The thick curtains were all drawn to block the sunlight, and the gas lamp on the table illuminated the dim space. Dorothy was sitting at the table, and in front of her was a large map of Igwent, The white map was burnt yellow by the dim light.

On the side of the map, there are drawing tools such as compasses and rulers. On the map, a magic circle is drawn by dark red powder. Mysterious texts and symbols are superimposed on the map of the urban area. The main symbol drawn is a standing scepter and radiating light, and below it is an open eye.

"Phew... done..."

After drawing all the magic circles on the map according to the information given by Aldrich, Dorothy finally completed the preparations for divination, and now she can perform the first divination in her occult career.

Opening the small wooden box beside the table, Dorothy took out the spiritual storage of the "Lamp" that she bought at Aldrich's during the day, a small piece of orange-yellow amber.

According to Aldrich's divination teaching, the two spiritualities necessary for divination are "lamp" and "enlightenment". According to Dorothy's approximate estimate, the passive effect of the "lamp" in this amber is only about 150 point.

'Sell 1 point of spirituality for 150 pounds... If only I could dig out my "enlightenment" and sell it...'

While complaining in her heart, Dorothy placed amber worth 150 pounds on the lamp symbol on the map, while the "Enlightenment" symbol was empty.

Then Dorothy took out a crystal pendant from her pocket. Dorothy bought it for a few coins at a grocery rug in the lower town. The boss insisted that it was a crystal pendant, and Dorothy was sure. This is glass.

But it doesn't matter. According to Aldrich, the important thing about divination is that spirituality is not a prop.

Holding the cheap pendant, what Dorothy has to do now is to perform divination called the pendulum. Among the several simple divination methods given by Aldrich, this is the best divination location.

In fact, the current Dorothy can also try to directly divination the location of the headquarters of the Holy Communion and then report it first, but she does not know whether there is such a thing as a headquarters in the Holy Communion that exists in the form of various strongholds, even if there is a reaction in it. What about divination?I only have a little "light" and I can't waste it, so I don't gamble, and directly divination the location of the ambush to be more stable.

Standing at the table, Dorothy began to hold the pendant and dangle the tip of the fake crystal over the map, and then she began to read silently.

"I illuminate the sea of ​​enlightenment with all-seeing lights..."

Accompanied by Dorothy's murmurs, a hole was opened in the amber on the magic circle, and the invisible spirituality was released. At the same time, Dorothy felt something in her body was pulled out, and it was in the system. The spirituality of "Enlightenment" is reduced by 1 point under the prompt.

"I need to know where the Crimson Communion of Igwinter plans to ambush the Seeker squad."

The oracle was spoken, and Dorothy began to swing the pendant.The tip of the pendant began to sway back and forth on the map.

Gradually, the pendant in Dorothy's hand seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force during the shaking process, and it began to slowly tilt in one direction. As the swing became smaller and smaller, the pendant finally became Pausing, eventually pointing at a point on the map in a gravity-defying fashion.

Dorothy looked towards the direction that the crystal tip was pointing at, and the landmark showed that the name there was... Flooded Pier.

……

The flooded wharf is located in the east of Igwent and is close to the suburbs. The lower reaches of the Tiemu River used to be a relatively prosperous small wharf on the river bank. The location is not good, so the river is often flooded in a large area during the flood season, so the name of flooding comes from this.

The flooded wharf is not an official wharf, but a joint venture of several merchant fleets, so some criminals often use it to engage in some extraordinary transportation, and even created a black market. A few years ago, the Igwent authorities took this place , and arrested nearly a hundred people, so the place has been deserted and is in the midst of a large area of ​​abandonment.

Eagle Winter in the afternoon, in the flooded pier.

Privately built prefabricated houses are scattered along the river bank in rows, stone bricks are piled up, three or four storey houses without external powder are scattered scattered, vacant warehouses are open, and the rusty ships tied to the river are obviously not used for a long time. state.

On the side of a hidden street, a carriage was parked here, and the white-haired girl sat in the carriage with her eyes closed and rested, her perception at this moment had been linked to the eyes in the sky.

Under Dorothy's control, several flying bird corpses hovered over the flooded pier, overlooking the intricate landforms of the flooded pier from different angles.

"So...if I were you guys, how would I choose the location of the ambush?"

Dorothy was thinking like this. At this time, she replaced the thinking angle of the sacrament meeting, imagining how she would choose an excellent ambush site from this complicated scene, and be able to eliminate those who entered the trap effortlessly. in the enemy.

With the help of multi-angle bird's-eye vision, Dorothy quickly found a suitable location.

It was a warehouse, a low and small steel-framed warehouse. Four small brick buildings that were abandoned before completion stood at four different angles of the warehouse, and there was even a tall clock tower on the south side of the warehouse. There is a certain distance between them. In Dorothy's mind, if guns were set up in these four buildings plus the bell tower, then the enemies in the warehouse would become a turtle in an urn.

The outer walls of the abandoned steel-framed warehouse are made of plasterboard, which cannot withstand bullets at all. The walls in many places have fallen off and have holes, and the inside can be clearly seen from a certain angle. If the people inside are killed by five people at the same time Angle, and the enemy who still has the advantage of a high place holds up the gun, then there is no way to fight back.

In the low-end Extraordinary battle where mortals still participate, the gun is still a well-deserved main output, whether it is for the Holy Communion or the Security Bureau.Therefore, Dorothy imagined from the perspective of a gunfight, so this warehouse is an excellent trap.

For the next whole afternoon, Dorothy was manipulating the corpse bird to fly and patrol above the pier. She used the pupil of the bird to conduct a more exhaustive investigation of the brick buildings and warehouses, and at the same time She is also waiting for something.

Finally, at around three o'clock, after Dorothy had waited for more than two hours, she saw a group of men mysteriously walking to the top of the clock tower, and began to have heated discussions and conversations overlooking the surrounding environment from the top of the clock tower. wearing something.

In the middle of this group of sneaky men, surrounded by a thin face, gloomy eyes, neatly combed brown hair, and a man with a mustache, holding a scepter in his hand, he silently looked at the scene below, and said He knew what he was telling the subordinates around him.

"Oh~ You guys finally came to step on the spot..."

Seeing the scene in front of her, Dorothy in the carriage stretched greatly.

……

Eagle Winter at night, in an apartment building in Uptown.

In the messy bedroom, Brandon knelt on the ground respectfully, and the bloody mouth on the bloody altar in front of him issued orders.

"The trap has been set, and the action will be tomorrow. Our flowers will be sent to the Anyin Bureau at 10:[-] tomorrow morning. After they are dispatched, you will also act immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Barker!"

Chapter 75 Flowers

Early in the morning in Eagle Winter, above the apartment on Nanyanghua Road, Dorothy and Greg were having breakfast together in the living room. This was their rare meeting time these days.

While eating breakfast, Dorothy yawned from time to time, and Greg asked worriedly after seeing it.

"Dorothy, you look very tired and lack of energy these days, and you come back later at night than before. Are you under heavy pressure from studying?"

"Wuah... almost, if you want to get good grades, you have to work harder, huh... this is also very energy-consuming..." Dorothy said while eating a piece of bread. Greg couldn't help talking about Rosie's appearance.

"It seems that studying is not easy. Dorothy has worked hard, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't focus on studying completely. Sometimes you can relax appropriately."

"Hmm... It's okay, Greg. You know, my goal is to get into college. As a girl, if I don't put in more hard work and effort, how can I get into college? After all, I can't live up to Greg. Your expectation." While talking, Dorothy finished the bread in her hand, and then quickly drank a glass of milk.

"Okay, I'll leave after eating, goodbye~"

After speaking, Dorothy took her small schoolbag, opened the door and went out. Greg, who was still sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but smiled in relief.

'Hehe... Dorothy is slowly growing up and becoming sensible. I hope she can really get into a university in the future. Greg thought so expectantly in his heart, as a parent, he was naturally very happy to see his child so diligent and studious.

In this regard, Dorothy was very thankful that St. Amanda's School was located in the western suburbs of the city. If it was in a convenient place for Greg to go in the city, it would not be a good idea for him to go there a few times and find out that he was the king of leave. .

Also finished breakfast, Greg put on his coat as usual and walked out of the house. After going downstairs, he hurried to the city without stopping. After about forty minutes, Greg came to the Cypress Shirt Building. .

Greg entered the building, and after receiving the key from Ms. Ada at the front desk, he entered the security bureau through a secret entrance with ease, and greeted his colleagues warmly.

"Hey, good morning Brandon, you look like you didn't sleep well last night."

When he came to the desk in the corner of the hall, Greg greeted Brandon who seemed to be a bit erratic, and Brandon who was sitting behind the desk responded with a forced smile.

"Hmm... almost Mr. Methhouse, it's really not a good day to rest these days."

Seeing Brandon's appearance in front of him, Greg rolled his eyes, looked around and then bent down slightly, then whispered in a low voice.

"I said Brandon, don't be too careful when I say a few words here. I heard some bad rumors about you when I was on patrol at night... Well, it's because your private life is sometimes messy, I'm not very careful... Listen to me, if you can't stand it anymore, you should find a girlfriend to marry and stabilize it. Always messing around is not only bad for your health, but also affects your work. A few diseases will be more harm than good."

Greg spoke to Brandon in an admonishing tone, and Brandon said with a smile after being slightly taken aback.

"Ahaha... Then Mr. Laumeshaus really took care of you. I will consider your words."

"Ha, it's natural to be concerned. Who calls us colleagues? Alright~ You should think about what you said just now, and I'll go first." Before Greg left Brandon's desk, he ran to chat with the others. People went to say hello, while Brandon continued to sit where he was, looking gloomy at Greg's leaving back.

'Hmph... You should take care of yourself more...'

Brandon thought gloomyly in his heart that now he was waiting for the signal, the signal that had been agreed before, and at the moment when the signal arrived, he would carry out the last mission in the Security Bureau, with a generous The spoils of the Sovereign are returned to the Society for glorious grace.

'Hurry up...I can't wait...I don't want to stay in this boring place for a second, I don't want to do this boring job for a second, if it weren't for my boring and boring father, I shouldn't be here at all In this place, the association is the place I should stay, only the association can satisfy my desire...'

Scanning the colleagues in front of him with gloomy eyes, Brandon silently thought that his heart had already begun to be disturbed at this moment, and he was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the flower signal.

Longing for it, Brandon looked at his watch, which showed that it was ten o'clock in the morning.

'Come on, come on, there is still half an hour, the signal should arrive, the signal that can lure the hunters away..."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Brandon thought silently, but at this moment an unexpected voice came.

"Greg! It's urgent, please come to the director's office as soon as possible!"

Among the crowd, Elena came to the side of Greg, who was bragging and fishing with her colleagues, and said a little anxiously. After hearing Elena's words, Greg couldn't help being taken aback, and then spoke.

"I see."

While speaking, Greg and Elena walked quickly to the corridor on one side, and Brandon, who was not far away, couldn't help being slightly taken aback after seeing this scene.

'what happened?Shouldn't we wait another half an hour for the flowers to arrive?Could it be some other emergency? '

Brandon thought in confusion, he directly stopped a colleague who was walking in front of him and just came down from above to ask.

"Tony, it seems that we have to act again. Do you know what's going on?"

"This...it seems to be the same as last time. Ms. Ada received flowers again. What I just saw on it is the same as last time. There may be another big case." Tony's man responded to Brandon and said, listening to Tony's words, Brandon frowned slightly, and doubts appeared on his expression.

'It's really a flower... This, why did this move ahead of time? '

……

Igwent Anyin Bureau Branch, in the director's office.
