Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Listening to Dorothy's words, Anna's expression was full of loss and doubt, and Dorothy also opened the schoolbag beside her while smiling and said.

"Yes, so remember that even if you can eat candy casually in the future, you can't eat too much. Not only is it bad for your teeth, you may get sick, but Anna, although you don't have candy this time, I also prepared other things for you. you."

While talking, Dorothy took out a book of fairy tales from her bag, and handed it to Anna.

"You are the best student I have taught these days, so this book is given to you. There are many stories in it."

"Really? Thank you so much, teacher!"

Seeing the fairy tale book handed over by Dorothy, Anna picked up the book with excited eyes and said that it is rare for children living in orphanages to receive gifts.

Picking up the gift happily, Anna stroked the cover of the book, then raised her head and said to Dorothy as if thinking of something.

"Mr. Methhouse, although you have only been here for a few days, you have been very kind to us. We all want to thank you very much, so we all suggest to Sister Deedry to invite you to the charity meeting in two days. We'll be putting on a show there!"

"Charity?"

Hearing this term, Dorothy spoke unexpectedly, while Anna continued to explain.

"Ah, I almost forgot, the teacher is not a native of Igwent, so I don't know, let me tell you."

Saying that, Anna nodded her forehead to organize her thoughts, and then continued to speak.

"This charity event is a banquet held by Viscount Fielder, a well-known benefactor in Eagle Winter, every year. Wealthy people from all walks of life in Eagle Winter will be invited to participate. At that time, Viscount Fielder will take the lead in calling Let's donate money to help the poor people in Igwent.

"It is said that it has been held for six times so far, and every time His Excellency Viscount Field will take the lead and donate a large amount of money with other rich people, and then use the money to improve the lives of poor people like us. saved.

"According to the wishes of His Excellency Viscount Field, orphans like us are the key objects of help, so at this time of year the courtyard will let us perform performances to win more attention. And His Excellency Viscount Field will adopt us in the end." One of them! So everyone cherishes this opportunity very much!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

'Viscount Field? '

Sitting on the chair in the classroom of the orphanage, Dorothy couldn't help recalling this seemingly familiar name after listening to Anna's words. She always felt that she had heard it somewhere before. Saw this guy in the newspaper.

Viscount Field, a local noble in Igwinter, a hereditary viscount, a traditional noble.I have traveled outside for a long time, and started charity work after returning to Igwent six years ago. It is said that I often enter the lower city to understand the living conditions of poor people and provide relief. It can be said that Igwent is noble The one of the class who knows the lower classes best.

Dorothy had read in a recent newspaper that he criticized Igwinter's police system for inaction, not taking the lives of the people at the bottom, especially the lonely, seriously, and he claimed that people would go missing from time to time and no one cared .At that time, Dorothy wondered whether the so-called disappearance was the work of the Holy Communion, and worried about the viscount's safety.

I never thought that the viscount's love is really big enough. The annual charity meeting will adopt an orphan after the charity meeting is over. If it happens six times in six years, it has already adopted six orphans. This year is the seventh...

Even for well-meaning nobles, the number of adoptions might be too much.

"Mr. Methhouse, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, Anna, who was standing aside holding the fairy tale book, looked at Dorothy, who was in a daze, and said in doubt. Dorothy was slightly taken aback when she heard Anna's words, and then responded with a smile.

"Ha...it's nothing Anna, I just remembered something...By the way, I want to ask, do you know those children who were adopted before?"

Dorothy asked Anna, and Anna answered immediately after listening.

"Well... I don't know the older brothers and sisters in the past few years, but I know the ones in the next few years, such as Gejill, Boum... They were all adopted by His Excellency Viscount Fidel two years ago. They were all excellent people in the courtyard before, and they were my role models.”

"Really, then, Anna, have you seen them again after they left?" Dorothy continued to ask, and Anna nodded after thinking about it.

"I have seen it, but I have seen it... But it is very rare. The former children are not fixed to attend many activities with His Excellency the Viscount. We can occasionally see photos of them and the Viscount in the newspapers, and there are also annual charity events. His Excellency the Viscount will bring the two adopted children to participate, and we can see them at that time... well, but teacher, why are you asking this?"

Anna asked with a doubtful tone, and Dorothy responded with a smile after hearing this.

"It's nothing, just a random question...By the way, Anna, you said just now, can I also participate in that charity event? You just said that only the upper-class people in Igwent can participate." Dorothy turned towards Anna asked, and Anna nodded affirmatively.

"No problem! Since our college is the focus of the charity association, we can have a few invitations. As long as Sister Deedry nods, I can also give you an invitation letter. With so many of us, we will be able to convince Dede Sister Li's."

Anna's words carried affirmation and expectation. Looking at Anna in front of her, Dorothy nodded.

"Well...then I'll leave it to you."

……

In the afternoon, Grace Orphanage, the director's office.

Sitting behind the desk, an old nun wearing a black nun's dress and wrinkled face is sitting behind the desk. Formal nun at the Church of the Igwent Radiance.

Sister Deidre took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Dorothy at the opposite table.

"Here, this is the invitation letter. The time and place are written in it. Don't be late, Miss Methhouse."

"Thank you, Sister Deidre, it is an honor to be able to attend such a banquet."

Taking the envelope in her hands, Dorothy said gratefully, while Sister Deedre said after smiling.

"If you want to thank, thank those children. There are not many students who are willing to come to us to practice. You are the first one who can be loved by them. You deserve this invitation... Well, I need to rest now Come on, Fitch, send the guests out."

"Farewell, Sister Deidre."

Then, Dorothy left the dean's office under the escort of a somewhat bald middle-aged man. When she came to the corridor, Anna was still waiting there with a book in her arms.

"How is it? Mr. Methhouse, have you got the invitation letter?"

"Here it is, thanks to you, I got it." Dorothy said with a smile while shaking the envelope in her hand, and Anna also spoke happily.

"That's really great! Remember to come to our unit's performance on time the night after tomorrow. I'm going to do the final rehearsal first! Goodbye!"

While talking, Ann waved and ran away, while Dorothy also waved with a smile, then she silently opened the envelope in her hand, took out the invitation letter and checked the address carefully.

"Seven o'clock sharp on the 25th, the Jewel Theater?"

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the Upper Town of Igwent, inside the Radiance Church.

In a small secret room inside the church, there are three figures at the moment, two of them are sitting together, male priests in black clothes, and sitting opposite them is a man with long platinum hair , nun with round glasses.

"Okay...we've got a rough idea of ​​the situation, Sister Vanya, and we'll report what you said to Tivian after a preliminary report."

After a long period of questioning, he put away the documents in his hand, a priest stood up and said to the nun in front of him, and the nun named Vanya breathed a sigh of relief.

"This... this is the last inquiry..."

"Well, for the last time, after our preliminary inspection in Hongxi, the situation is almost in line with what you said. We don't think there is any problem with your statement. Maybe they will ask you a few more times after returning to Tivian , but it's just a routine procedure, so don't worry about it.

"Thanks to the Holy Mother, there are survivors of this tragedy caused by heresy."

Another priest also stood up and said, after listening to their words, Vanya's heart that had been hanging over the past few days finally let go.

Half a month ago, after Vanya escaped from the catacomb of the small church in Hongxi Town, she immediately went to the town and sent an urgent telegram to Tivian's Glory Parish, informing her of the situation here, and then Tivian The security side urgently contacted the Church of Igwent, and asked them to immediately send a team of light bearers to Hongxi Town to take control of the situation, and took Vanya back to Igwent in a protective manner.

Not long ago, several teams of light bearers from Tivian came to Igwynn County to resume the work of reclaiming the sacred objects from Dixon's tomb, and Vanya in Igwynd also began to accept Several days of inquiries.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

'Huh... Fortunately, I don't need to dispatch a deacon to interrogate my situation, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it. '

In the small room, Fanya, who successfully passed the interrogation, thought happily in her heart that she immediately notified the church immediately after the incident, and actively cooperated with the investigation in the follow-up. In addition, there was nothing suspicious about her, and her background was clean, and she usually behaved well, so the investigators sent by the church only questioned her instead of interrogating her.

If it is an interrogation, since the church will send out deacons of black rank or above, they will not be able to panic in front of the high-ranking "Lamp" Extraordinary, they have the ability to see through lies.

Regarding the story that happened in the tomb that night, Fanya explained clearly in part, about how they discovered the tomb, how they went down to explore, how they encountered a surprise attack, and how they hid in the ear chamber .

In the last part of the story, Vanya described that the last wounded heretic broke into the ear chamber, and she fought back with a sword in panic, and because the other party was injured, she also killed one inexperienced.

As for the other heretic who was beaten to death by retaliation, Fanya entrusted him to the chaotic main battlefield, pretending to die in the melee with a lot of corpses, after all, she killed him in a hurry with her sword. A wounded heretic can barely make sense. After all, the heretic who was stabbed to death by the sword did have other injuries on his body, but things like rebounding bullets with a sword are too outrageous.

"Okay, Sister Vanya, the investigation of the heresy and the recovery of Bishop Dict's relics are being carried out simultaneously. To be on the safe side, those relics will be transported to Igwent first, and then transferred to Titus by sound force." Wei An, you can go back together at that time. After all, heresy has been rampant recently, so it is safer to go this way.

"And before that, you should relax in Igwinter for a few days and take a good rest."

After tidying up the documents on the table, a priest said to Vanya with a smile. Hearing what the other party said, Vanya was slightly taken aback, then quickly stood up and said thanks.

"Thank you so much. After seeing the cruel methods of the heretics, I am indeed quite nervous these days. It is time to take a rest. I also happened to visit Igwent."

"Heh, feel free to go and see Sister Vanya. We in Igwinter still have a little bit of scenery. For example, the school that St. Amanda donated to us is here. Oh, yes, the annual charity event It will be held soon, and this can be regarded as a special feature of our side." The priest introduced his hometown to Fanya, who was outside, and Fanya spoke suspiciously after hearing this.

"Charity?"

"This is a charity banquet held by the local Viscount Fielder every year to help the poor. At the meeting, His Excellency the Viscount will call on other local high-ranking people to donate. There are also many programs at the meeting, which can be regarded as a bit famous. It's gone."

While speaking, the priest's eyeballs rolled, and he spoke after looking at Vanya again.

"Actually, in response to the mercy of the Holy Mother, we will send representatives to participate every year. It happens that Sister Vanya is here now. Do you want to go and have a look together?"

The priest said this, and when he thought about it, the nun from Vanya's capital diocese could take the opportunity to show off the charity. Love" and other positive comments are sent back, so that the superiors can have a good impression of themselves, this is really an opportunity for publicity.

"Will the charity...?"

While listening to the priest's words, Vanya also nodded thoughtfully.

……

Time flies, two days passed quickly.

In the evening, at a bustling intersection in the upper city of Igwent, there was a dense clatter of horseshoes, and under the halo of dusk, all kinds of carriages coming and going gathered here.

On one side of the intersection, there is a large signboard that has been illuminated, and under the signboard is an open door with a doorman's handle. The well-known Jewel Theater in Igwinter is now welcoming tonight's guests.

There were many carriages parked on the wide sidewalk, and from these carriages, a well-dressed gentleman and a bright and beautiful lady came down. They talked with each other, laughed and walked onto the red carpet laid at the entrance of the theater. Among the magnificently decorated gates.

On the side of the sidewalk, a carriage stopped slowly, and then a girl stepped out of the carriage carefully.

At this moment, the girl had neatly combed white hair loose, and was wearing a gray-black knee-length dress with a hint of a dress.Wearing a floral top hat, feet wrapped in black knee socks and small leather shoes.The waist is tied with a bow, and some places are embellished with silky lace.

This was Dorothy who came to the meeting. For this so-called high-class party, she spent some money on a set of relatively decent clothes. When she came, she went to a makeup shop to do some light makeup.

After getting dressed, putting on makeup, and grooming herself for the first time since time travel, Dorothy indulged herself in front of a full-length mirror for almost half an hour in the store, and panicked after being reminded by the boss I caught up with him, but fortunately I finally caught up.

The suit Dorothy is wearing now is more expensive than all the clothes she bought since she was a child, but it is still far from the cost of a problem, so Dorothy doesn't feel bad about spending it at all.

"Huh... there is still time, let's go in first..."

While talking, Dorothy controlled the puppet driver to drive the carriage to the parking space, while she walked towards the entrance of the theater. During this process, she also attracted a lot of attention. Squinting in the past, the ladies gathered together and opened their folding fans and covered their mouths, discussing in a low voice which family's daughter this is.

'It seems a little eye-catching, if I knew it, I would not dress like this. '

While thinking, Dorothy quickened her pace, and after checking the invitation letter for the doorman, she walked towards the gate of the theater under unexpected eyes, and there were many people who walked in at the same time as her.

After entering the gate, Dorothy walked into the long corridor with the crowd and walked along the red carpet. On the opposite side of them, a group of men in theater work uniforms walked towards them. Their characteristic , all wearing a half-mask that only covers the upper half of the face.

The half-mask staff seemed to be a feature of the Gem Theater. No one was surprised by the men and women around, and Dorothy just looked at them with a little curiosity before passing them by.

After that, one of the men with a half mask stopped and looked back at the crowd behind him. What he saw was a large number of people who gradually disappeared into the venue.

After a slight pause, the man continued to walk forward, walked out of the gate of the theater, and then came straight to a side of the road, where a luxurious carriage was parked quietly.

When he came to the side of the carriage, the man took off half of his mask, revealing Bill's face.

Then, he said to the carriage with a respectful expression.

"Teacher, I seem to smell a familiar smell, the smell I recorded at Buck's house..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Outside the Gem Theater, beside the luxury carriage parked on the street, Bill, who was wearing a theater staff uniform, was standing there waiting for the reply from the presence in the carriage.

He only waited for a moment before he heard a slightly old voice coming from the carriage.

"Can you confirm who it is?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. I smelled it in the entrance hallway. There were a lot of people passing me by at the time... When I looked back, they had already entered the venue and dispersed...

"I can't confirm who it is, but what is clear is that it should be a participant and is still in the venue."

Bill continued to speak, listening to Bill's words, the existence in the carriage was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak slowly.

"After a while, you can find a way to confirm it. Remember not to move too much, and don't startle the snake."

"Yes……"

……

Dorothy, who was dressed in exquisite clothes, followed the crowd into the venue. Under the illumination of the yellow halo light, what Dorothy saw was a wide space.

In the wide room with thick pillars, at one end of the room is a stage covered by a red curtain, and in front of the stage are fan-shaped stands.

In an area directly facing the stage, there is a band that is adjusting musical instruments. The surrounding fan-shaped stands are stepped from front to back. Above the high-level stands, there are many independent private rooms. Roughly speaking, here Just a standard theater.

Going all the way up the stairs to the top of the fan-shaped stands, Dorothy randomly found a place with a good view and sat down. When she sat down on the soft and comfortable seat, she let out a long sigh of relief.

'Phew...although the clothes are exquisite and beautiful...but the comfort is better than ordinary clothes, but this is not bad. '

While thinking like this, Dorothy glanced at the other ladies in the venue. Many of them were dressed in complicated skirts and tight waists. All of them suffered a lot.

Before Dorothy was buying clothes in a clothing store, she saw a lady put on a dress with the help of several people, and even forcibly strangled her waist at the stage of tightening her waist. The process was very painful. Dorothy looked at her and her face turned blue. .
