Dorothy’s Forbidden Grimoire

Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...

Chapter 230: Plunder

Royal Sacred Crown University, King's Campus.

In the dark night, in the corridor of the underground ruins, the walls that had been burned by the raging fire showed black marks. On the floor of the corridor, a charred corpse was lying here, and green smoke kept coming out.

This is the Cretaceous Level Beyonder of the mysterious society Eight Pointed Nest, the vampire Claudius. After consuming an excessive amount of bat energy, he was unable to sustain his life and was attacked by the last of the bats. Flames burned out of his body, turning his entire body into smoking charcoal.

"Is this the real leader of the Eight-Pointed Nest, the chief of the Thorny Turtle?" Standing next to the charred corpse, Nephnis looked at the corpse in front of her and couldn't help but murmured yes. Looking at the horrifying scene in front of her, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose.

"We don't know if he is the leader of the Eight-Pointed Nest yet, but based on the current intelligence, it is more likely that he is not. He may just be a high-ranking cadre, after all, he is a white-rank." On the other side, Dorothy also responded to Nefernis's words, while Vanya beside her spoke with emotion.

“White level… Is this a Cretaceous level Beyonder? My Lord… I actually fought against a Cretaceous level Beyonder…”

Vanya murmured in disbelief. You have to know that not long ago, she had never received any combat training. She was a professional nun in the History Department and had nothing to do with Extraordinary Warfare. She became an Extraordinary just to make better progress.

And now, Vanya has rich combat experience. She has fought against ordinary people, apprentices, black level and Cretaceous level. And she is not the kind of person who just slacks off on the sidelines. She can even serve as the main force in frontal combat and can be both a tank and a core player. In fact, she is still an apprentice level and still a staff member in the church.

Cretaceous-level Extraordinaries can already serve as senior deacons or general bishops in the church system, but Vanya's position in the church is barely equivalent to that of a junior deacon. Since she is engaged in research work, she has no real power.

Normally, Vanya would be in awe of even the head nun, who was only equivalent to a mid-level deacon. She would not dare to act rashly in front of the priests presiding over the ceremonies in the church, let alone the senior deacons or bishops, who were difficult to see given her position.

"I used to be able to see a bishop and a high-ranking deacon who were rarely seen before... I actually used a sword to cut down a white chalk of the same level as them? This is really..."

Looking at the charred corpse in front of her, Vanya's heart was filled with complicated emotions. She felt as if she had embarked on a path she had never imagined after accepting Akka's revelation.

"Well, Miss Dorothea, now that the person is dead, what about my classmates?" At this time, Nefernis asked Dorothy with a hint of worry, and Dorothy answered quickly.

"Don't worry, they are all asleep down there now. Sister Vanya, please take Miss Nefernis down to take a look, and check if the students are in any serious condition. I'll deal with the situation here."

Dorothy said to Vanya, who responded quickly.

"Yes, but please hurry up, Miss Dorothea. We can't stay here too long."

With that, Vanya led Nefernis to the ritual site on the lower level. Dorothy took a look at the charred corpse in front of her and immediately began her own looting plan.

"It's so hot... Don't burn the things..."

Looking at the charred body of Claudius in front of her, Dorothy said a little anxiously. She immediately controlled the two corpse puppets and began to search Claudius' body.

Fortunately, after some examination, Dorothy found that the burning of Claudius' body mainly started from the inside of the body. The clothes and skin had not been directly burned on a large scale. The charred skin was cracked, and there were sparks and blue smoke inside. If left unattended, it was only a matter of time before all the clothes were ignited.

After Dorothy's corpse doll's timely "rescue", most of the spoils on Claudius were collected by Dorothy, including 4 talismans, 3 of which were "shadow" and 1 was "cup" and "shadow", all of which were talismans that Dorothy did not recognize.

"I don't recognize any of them. Looks like I'll have to spend money on identification again."

In addition to the talisman, there is also a pendant that looks like a special tool. Claudio used it when he hypnotized Vanya. There are also two test tubes filled with dark red liquid, which seem to be what Claudio smashed on the ground to create smoke to cover his escape.

In addition to these, Dorothy also found some spiritual storage, which are "cup" and "shadow". The spiritual storage of "shadow" is a silver coin. The spiritual storage of "cup" is the injection that Claudio always uses to restore his blood. Dorothy found one. According to the estimation of spiritual vision, the "cup" spiritual content in the blood is very high, about 3 points. This high concentration of "cup" blood combined with Claudio's ability to absorb blood from his body can quickly restore injuries with one injection.

"It looks like the effect is quite good, but it is based on the vampire's unique ability to 'recover by sucking blood'. If I don't have this ability, I won't be able to give myself acupuncture to recover blood. So for me, it's probably not that useful. It can only be used as a general 'cup' to store things."

Dorothy thought so as she looked at the syringe in her hand. Then she continued to collect the money and finally found a secret book and 200 pounds in cash on Claudius.

"Why is there only so little money... Is Baichao so poor?"

After seeing the cash on Claudio, Dorothy complained, "If you think about it carefully, it's impossible for ordinary people to carry too much cash on them. Perhaps Claudio's main assets must be somewhere else."

"By the way, I remember this guy seemed to have an office in the school. It was his office when he was taking someone else's identity. I think we can find something there."

Dorothy thought so, and planned to visit the building again later. She thought that she might be able to find something useful in the office that this guy often used.

After collecting Claudius, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, then began to take out the magic box, expanding the opening to collect the corpses on it. After collecting the relatively "healthy" corpses on it into the box, Dorothy looked around again, and then saw several bright lamps hanging on the spider silk corridor in the distance, and some small items at the end of the spider silk corridor, emitting a gradual glow under spiritual vision.

"It seems that these guys have raised their frontal warning and defense measures to ensure that the ceremony can proceed smoothly. If we collect these things, we should be able to get some good things. It would be a waste if we don't take them~"

Looking at the useless spider silk corridor, Dorothy thought to herself, and then she controlled the corpse puppets with Li Sanguang's spirit, and dismantled the luminous lights under the alarm. She dismantled three in total, one of which was particularly large. In addition, Dorothy also found an anti-divination magic circle, on which was placed a silver coin-shaped "shadow" spiritual storage, and a stone slab fragment-shaped "initiate" spiritual storage.

"Wow, the spoils are getting richer, it seems that this wave is not a loss." After looting the anti-reconnaissance network set up by Claudius's elite, Dorothy thought happily in her heart.

Afterwards, she came to the second floor of the ruins, where she saw Nefernis who was carefully checking the conditions of the sleeping students, and Vanya who was observing the desecration of the Mirror Moon Statue.

"How are they, are they all right?"

Dorothy asked Nefernis when she reached the second floor, and she responded with thanks.

"Everyone is still breathing, but they have all fallen asleep. Thank you both for saving them."

"Hehe, you also need to thank yourself. Without your persistence, we wouldn't know the situation here."

Dorothy said with a chuckle, then she walked to the other side of Vanya, who was carefully observing the desecrated altar with a frown on her face.

"Sister Vanya, have you ever seen a statue like this before?" Dorothy walked slowly to Vanya's side and asked Vanya, who was looking around with a frown.
