Chapter 337: Candidates (2/2)

"As for my brother... forget about him... He has just finished accumulating auxiliary spirituality and is busy with the final promotion. Before he is promoted and officially takes office, his free activities are restricted. He will definitely not be able to come..."

Just like that, Dorothy leaned on the sofa and thought seriously about who to invite. In Dorothy's opinion, the ability of the Order of the Underworld was extremely strange. Even if the plan was thorough and there would be no direct conflict, something might happen when contacting them, so the candidate needed to be carefully selected.

Staring at the dancing flames in the fireplace, Dorothy's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and after a while, she had the answer in her mind.

"By the way... maybe she is a good choice..."

Dorothy clapped her fists lightly and said so. Then she took the magic box that had been placed on the coffee table, opened it and took out her own "Wenhai Navigation" from it.

It is located in the northern suburbs of Tivian, on the King's Campus of Royal Holy Crown University.

The campus was now in darkness and silence late at night. It was pitch black everywhere, and only a few lights could be seen at the dormitory windows.

In a bedroom of the girls' dormitory, Nephnis, in pajamas, was sitting at her desk, looking at the book on the desk carefully, while her roommate was lying on her bed beside her, sleeping soundly under the quilt.

At this time, Nephnis was looking at the book in front of her intently. The book was relatively thin, more like a booklet than a book. The pages of the booklet were yellowed, and there were many damaged places on the edges. There were tons of Putin words written on it, and some places were drawn with sketch-like pictures of strange objects. Both the words and pictures were handwritten. Looking at the handwriting in front of her, Nephnis felt nostalgic.

"Is this... Grandpa's notebook from his youth?"

Looking at the familiar handwriting in front of her, Nephnesse murmured softly with emotion. The book in front of her was actually a notebook, and the author of this notebook was none other than Nephnesse's grandfather, Davis Boyle.

After the events that took place at the Boyle house in East Tivey that day, Nephnesse, with the help of Dorothy, successfully became a Beyonder, an apprentice of Silence.

Nephthys's Boyle family made their fortune thanks to their grandfather Davis Boyle's early tomb robbing. Davis was an extraordinary person, but after he retired from the underworld, he deliberately did not pass on his extraordinary heritage. After Nephthys entered the extraordinary world that day, Davis' former servant, who is now the old butler of the Boyle family, decided to give Nephthys the notes written by Davis in his early years about the extraordinary path, and personally returned to his old manor to get it.

And now, this notebook was finally delivered to Nefernis. The one she was flipping through was this one. Nefernis just got this notebook today. After reading the first few pages, Nefernis began to understand the unknown past of her grandfather.

Strictly speaking, what is recorded in this notebook is not the extraordinary knowledge as Nunot said, but Davis's early adventures in North Ufeija. It just contains his extraordinary exploration process. When Nephnesse looks at this notebook, she is looking at her grandfather's early experiences.

From the notes, Nephnis learned that her grandfather did not come to North Ufeija voluntarily. He fled to North Ufeija for refuge because he committed a crime in Put and offended the nobles. When he first came here, he was just an ordinary mortal. He did a lot of things to make a living. In the end, he was attracted by the most prosperous special industry in North Ufeija, that is, tomb robbing, and eventually joined a local treasure-stealing society. It was here that he came into contact with Feifan.

According to Davis' description in his notes, there is a group of legendary treasure hunters who are like ghosts and humans in the treasure-hunting society of Northern Ufeija. They are said to be able to see and communicate with ghosts. They possess great strength and abundant physical strength, and can explore various dangerous environments in tombs. They are versatile, know various languages, various martial arts, and various skills, and seem to be omnipotent.

Davis, who had just started the treasure-stealing business, was quickly attracted by these bizarre rumors. After several adventures, he finally saw why those legendary treasure-stealers were so magical.

Because they can not only communicate with ghosts, but also control ghosts with their own bodies. They can let ghosts attach to their bodies and then master the skills that the ghosts learned when they were alive.

These treasure hunters are not afraid of being possessed by spirits. Instead, they rely on being possessed to control the spirits and use them for their own purposes. They accept the dead spirits in their own bodies, give them fresh flesh, and reproduce the skills they mastered in their lifetime. In his notes, Davis called these legendary treasure hunters "soul masters", and the ability they cultivated to control spirits with their bodies was called "the path of body control".

In Davis' early notes, Nephnis could see that her grandfather had a great desire for this extraordinary ability, so after becoming a treasure hunter, he was determined to become a legendary treasure hunter with such extraordinary power.

Sitting in front of the desk, Nephnis carefully read the notes in front of her and the stories about her grandfather. After reading each book, she would close her eyes and pray silently to Aka, asking him to help her get rid of the poison. Finally, after a prayer, Nephnis, who felt tired, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that grandpa had such an experience before... the path of relying on the body, the spirit master... Is this the extraordinary path that grandpa took?"

Nefernis thought so in her heart. After studying diligently for a period of time, she now had a general understanding of the secret world and mysticism. She knew that the so-called extraordinary road was a series of branches paved by spiritual combinations.

"Is it an extraordinary path to use the body as a support to accommodate the soul? According to what Miss Dorothy said before, the spirituality related to the flesh is basically the 'cup', which means that the path of the body that Grandpa uses as a support is a branch path with the main 'silence' and the auxiliary 'cup'? If I want to follow Grandpa's path, then I need to accumulate the spirituality of the 'cup' as a supplementary spirituality.

"We in the Rosicrucian sect only need to pray to Akka to obtain spirituality from the corresponding legend. I wonder if Miss Dorothy has any legend related to the 'Cup'?"

Nephnis thought so in her heart. Obviously, if she continued to read this notebook, it would reveal the promotion method of the 'Soul Master'. As long as she had enough spirituality, she would be able to be promoted to the second stage of the Extraordinary Road, the Black Earth Stage.

Nefernis sat in her seat and thought. She wanted to ask Dorothy a question about the legend, but then she thought it was late at night and she might have fallen asleep, so she decided to ask tomorrow.

"Forget it, I won't disturb Miss Dorothy at this time. Let's go to sleep first."

Nephnis closed her notebook and prepared to go to bed. At this moment, she suddenly felt a strange sensation on a certain mark on her body.

"This is……"

Touching her left waist, Nephnis's eyes widened slightly, and then she immediately sat down in her seat, opened the drawer and took out a book. After flipping through it for a while, on a blank page of a chapter, a familiar handwriting slowly appeared out of thin air.

"Hey, Senior Neveu, are you free in the afternoon three days from now?"
