Chapter 473: Beginning

Ivig, Adria.

At night, in a high-end restaurant in Adria, Dorothy sat in a private room, looking intently at the "Navigation Guide" in front of her, looking at Nefernis's handwriting on it, and thinking about the important information obtained from Davis' notes.

'According to Davis, promotion to the Cretaceous Stage of the Path of Dependence requires a ceremony to be held in a suitable spiritual field, and there are quite a few requirements for this spiritual field. At present, most large spiritual fields are either under the control of official extraordinary institutions and churches in various countries, or in the hands of the Underworld Coffin Order and are given special care. It would be quite difficult to enter the spiritual field under their noses and release ghosts to perform the ceremony. Therefore, it is better to choose a spiritual field that is not under the control of a large force to advance. This is a better method.

'At present, the spiritual fields that are not controlled by large organizations are only in the continent of Xi and North Ufeijia, these two places are on the edge of the main continent of the Glorious Church. The continent of Xi seems to be a wild forest where the spirits of the wilderness gather, and North Ufeijia is an ancient tomb.

'Logically speaking, it seems safer for Neveu to go to the spiritual field in the Antarctic continent, because there are Kapak and his Tupa tribe there. It shouldn't be a problem for old shaman Toto to find a spiritual field to use, but the key is that I don't have any plans to go to the Antarctic continent at the moment. If Neveu wants to be promoted, she has to go there by herself, and it is quite far from the Antarctic continent.

'I'm in Beiwu. Although I don't have any power there, I don't know where the tomb is with a spiritual field, and I don't know if it's dangerous, but my current plan is to go there. If Neveu wants to go to Beiwu, she can go with me, and we can take care of each other. But I don't know if we can find the spiritual field. It's possible that Neveu will make a wasted trip.

Staring at the handwriting on the "Navy Navigation Records", Dorothy thought in her heart that after defeating Atif, Dorothy had seized several soul-hiding bone fragments, which could be used in the promotion ceremony. She just needed to communicate with those souls. This means that the most critical condition for Neveu's promotion now is the spirit field. As long as she finds a usable spirit field, everything will be simple.

"I'd better ask Neveu what she thinks later... After all, this is her own promotion issue." Thinking this in her heart, Dorothy closed the "Navy Journal" in front of her, then lay down on the sofa and stretched.

"Well... I'm finally going to Wufeijia. I've been traveling and resting here for half a month. I feel a little reluctant to leave..."

After stretching, Dorothy looked out the window at the charming night view of Adria's water. To be honest, this place is indeed suitable for tourism. She rested here for a long time and she has relaxed a lot recently.

'It's a great place... But now that we've finished waiting for everything, everything is ready, and it's time to leave.

"But before you leave, please relax for one last time."

Dorothy thought so in her heart, then she sat down on the sofa, and then she looked at the center of the dining table, where there was a small piece of very delicate custom-made cream cake, on which were placed delicious fruits and beautiful decorations.

After examining the cake, Dorothy looked next to it, where there was an unfolded telegram with only a few brief words from Pritt.

"Happy birthday, Dorothy."

"I just gave my brother a set of chalk equipment and a piece of labor not long ago. Does that mean I don't need to give him anything for his birthday next time?"

Dorothy smiled and muttered to herself as she picked up the telegram sent by Greg. Then she put the telegram aside and moved her eyes to the small candle bag next to the cake. Dorothy reached out and picked it up, then took out one colorful candle after another and inserted them one by one on the small cake. After inserting fourteen candles, the small cake seemed a little crowded.

'The cake is too small, and the candles are a bit crowded... I can't help it, after all, I'm the only one eating it, haha... I think back to my fourteenth birthday in my previous life. The cake was big, and there were many people eating with me...'

After sighing a little in her heart, Dorothy took out the matches prepared beside her, lit a candle after striking it, and then used this candle to light all the other candles.

After doing all this, Dorothy looked at the faint light burning on the cake in front of her and thought about today's date, March 27th, the day when a girl named Dorothea Meschhaus was born.

Gazing at the candlelight on the cake, Dorothy was silent for a moment, then finally spoke softly.

"Anyway, happy fourteenth birthday, Dorothy."

After saying that, Dorothy blew away all the candles on the cake.

…

During the day, the sky was clear and the boundless sea was conquered. The sea breeze was whistling and the waves were surging. On the vast sea in early April, a large white passenger ship was cutting through the waves and sailing towards the south.

On the deck of the passenger ship, Nefernis, wearing a long skirt and a headscarf, was standing there, gazing at the distant horizon in the sea breeze. From time to time, she shielded her head with her hands to look at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and then she frowned and spoke.

"It feels like the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If it were in Tivian, there wouldn't be such sunshine at this time of year."

"Yes, North Ufeija has a desert climate, so it will definitely be much hotter than Tivian. Now we are still at sea and there is a sea breeze blowing. Once we get ashore, we will feel the heat."

Standing next to Nefernis, Dorothy continued speaking as Nefernis spoke. Nefernis paused slightly after listening to Dorothy's words, then continued speaking with some excitement in her eyes.

"Is the weather hot? Oh, that means I should prepare some summer clothes to wear! There are some of my favorite clothes in there, and there are also beach clothes..."

"Summer clothes? Are you serious, Senior Neveu? Many of your summer clothes reveal your arms and legs. You will get sunburned when you go to Beiwu. The sun there is completely different from the summer sun you know. Also, the traditions there are much more conservative. If you wear revealing clothes, you will get into trouble. When you get there, just buy some local clothes."

After hearing what Nefernis said, Dorothy turned her head, looked at her and spoke. After hearing what Dorothy said, Nefernis's face froze and she sighed helplessly.

"I see. Well, I did forget about the situation in Northern Africa. What a pity..."

Nefernis sighed like this, and Dorothy beside her blinked after looking at Nefernis's expression, and then continued to speak.

"The situation in Beiwu is unstable right now, so we'd better be careful about what we do. But I didn't expect that you, Senior Sister Neveu, would choose to come here with me. Compared to the mainland, it's quite risky to come here to look for a spiritual place in an ancient tomb."

Dorothy said this to Nefernis. When she asked Nefernis for her opinion on where she wanted to go for the ceremony, she chose Beiwu without hesitation, which surprised Dorothy.

"Tsk... How can I explain this? Although there are risks, after all, Miss Dorothy, you are here too, right? You are also in North Ufeija, and I feel much more at ease traveling with you even if there are risks. If I go to the mainland alone, I will feel uneasy even if there are no risks..."
