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 729 Shock Wave (2/2)

What surprised Dorothy was that after the people from the Tribunal showed up, two judges with a group of people wanted to grab Vanya and take her away. The situation was urgent and Dorothy was considering whether she should help. Fortunately, Amanda sent people of similar level to the scene and confronted the people from the Tribunal, forcing them to protect her and make them compromise. Only then did Vanya not get taken away. Although the crisis was finally resolved, the situation at that time could be said to be very critical, and the situation was so tense that it almost came to a fight.

'After this incident, the forces within the church that were originally dissatisfied with Vanya could no longer tolerate her... The Inquisition was almost certain that Vanya was a spy of the Heavenly Judge Cult... and they wanted to arrest her directly...

'Fortunately...Vanya's interests are deeply tied to Amanda's, and Amanda herself is more cautious, so now as long as Amanda is there, Vanya's church will be safe enough...

'I haven't reached the gold level yet, and I'm not strong enough to protect Vanya from the full-scale pursuit of the church, so it's best to let Vanya stay in the church and continue to receive Amanda's protection. When I finally get promoted and become a golden demigod, I will have the capital to ignore the power of the church to a certain extent. At that time, if Vanya wants to continue to stay in the church and it is safe enough, let her stay. If the church is so dangerous that Amanda can't protect her, then I can just rob someone to save her...'

Sitting in the slightly shaking carriage, Dorothy looked at the scenery outside the window while thinking in her heart. After finishing her thoughts, she turned her gaze back to the carriage, ate the fruit on the plate, took out her magic box and opened it.

After Dorothy opened the magic box, she fumbled around in it for a while and took out her own copy of "The Voyage of the Sea of ​​Literature", which she placed on the table and unfolded.

After opening the "Wenhai Navigation Journal", Dorothy flipped through it quickly and quickly turned to the contact page with Beverly. After a brief thought, Dorothy picked up the pen and wrote the usual greeting on the page.

"Hello, is this you?"

"Do you think I have bad moments?"

Soon, neatly printed handwriting appeared on the page in front of Dorothy. After reading it, Dorothy was about to write a reply, but before she started writing, Beverly's handwriting appeared again.

"I've been waiting for you to contact me, but I didn't expect you to take so long to write to me. I thought something had happened to you."

Seeing Beverly's response, Dorothy couldn't help but pause for a moment, then she started writing with great interest.

"Oh? Did you expect me to come to you at this time?"

"Of course... Every time you make some big news, there is a high probability that you will come to me to ask something. This time, you, Buserit, made quite a big fuss. I have anticipated that the questions you are going to ask are also quite important~"

Beverly's response appeared in front of Dorothy. After reading these words, Dorothy couldn't help but be curious.

"Was my action this time very big? Do you know about it?"

"Of course, don't underestimate the intelligence network of the Artisans' Guild. Although Buserit is remote and desolate, it is not completely uninhabited. The commotion you made there was so loud that almost half of Buserit could sense it to some extent. Even Adus has observation records, and it is felt that the tribes that have experienced miracles are one after another. Recently, we have sent out a lot of informants to check the situation of the strange plague there and look for business opportunities. They are neither blind nor deaf.

"What's more... a super-large-scale, high-level extraordinary confrontation, especially one that contains divinity, will cause shock waves in the inner world. Buserit's extraordinary confrontation has caused impacts on several inner worlds in related fields. These impacts are transmitted to some interrelated inner worlds, and these impacts may be perceived."

Beverly's response appeared in front of Dorothy so quickly. Looking at the extremely neat printed words in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart.

"Will a large-scale confrontation between high-level extraordinary powers with divine nature... cause shock waves in the inner world and be sensed by other beings? But how deep is the connection with the inner world that can sense such an impact...?"

Dorothy thought so, and after she finished thinking, she took up her pen and wrote back on the page.

"Since you have anticipated my contact, let's cut the crap and get started. This time I want to ask you, do you know the secret history of the 'Stone Prince'? I mean... research materials that are credible and authentic? I need to be able to confirm its current status..."

Dorothy finished writing her question, then sat quietly waiting for Beverly's response. Not long after, the neatly printed handwriting appeared in front of Dorothy again.

"Prince Stone...what do you want his information for?"

"Well... there are some things after all. I need more information about the Stone Prince to confirm His current condition. It would be best if I could find a way to see Him... or see part of Him." Dorothy continued to write in response, and Beverly continued to write.

"You want to see the Stone Prince?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a problem? Could it be that it has already fallen?" Looking at Beverly's handwriting, Dorothy wrote quickly, while Beverly wrote slowly in response.

"No, He is still there... He has always been there, always been there... He has never fallen, and has never been replaced, just like a huge rock in the wind and sand all year round..."

Beverly wrote like this. Looking at Beverly's handwriting in front of her, Dorothy paused slightly, then continued writing.

"So, do you have any information about the secrets of the Stone Prince? Or do you know how to see the Stone Prince?"

After Dorothy finished writing this, she began to silently wait for the other party's response. After a pause, Beverly's handwriting appeared again.

"If you want information about Prince Shi, I will sort some out for you in time. These are rare materials about gods. You can exchange them for the reward we owed you last time. Of course, you can pay a high price if you want."

"Oh, I know... Then what about the method to meet the Stone Prince? Do you know it?" Dorothy continued to ask Beverly. Although she asked this, she did not expect to find the answer from Beverly. After all, the Stone Prince was not the god of the Craftsmen's Guild. Although Beverly's identity might be somewhat special, she was not Bella Amon. It was impossible for her to know everything and sell everything. She could not guarantee that she knew everything about some things involving gods.

Dorothy thought so until she saw Beverly's next response.

"You want to see Prince Shi... This is a difficult question, but I have a solution."

"Huh?" Dorothy opened her mouth slightly in surprise as she looked at Beverly's printed words. She didn't expect Beverly to have a solution to this problem. This guy was really so powerful that he could even meet the Lord God.

Even the seven saints of Mount Saint Lin, except for the Pope, cannot see the gods. Yunina is not sure that she can see the Cup of the Dragon King at will. Beverly can actually see the Lord of the Stone? !

"What method are you talking about?" Dorothy suppressed some confusion in her heart and asked Beverly again, wanting to hear the answer from her, but Beverly did not tell her directly.

"As for this... I can't just tell you directly. What I provide here... is not only the method to meet Prince Shi, but also some of my personal help. This is very expensive..."

Seeing Beverly's reply, Dorothy couldn't help but pause, then she breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the pen to write again.

"Well, how much do you think it will cost this time?"

After writing, Dorothy took a deep breath, waiting for Beverly on the other side to reveal an astronomical figure. However, the words that Beverly responded with were somewhat beyond her expectations.

"No, this time I won't accept your money, but I will give you a task. If you can complete this task, I will help you meet the Stone Prince..."

"Mission? What mission is it? Tell me about it?" Seeing Beverly's response this time, Dorothy immediately asked curiously, but Beverly did not immediately tell Dorothy the content of the so-called mission.

"Regarding the specific content of this mission... I need to prepare a little more before I can tell you. Before that, you need to wait for a while, because I need to temporarily collect and confirm more information before I can determine the specific content of the mission... When everything is ready to proceed, I will take the initiative to notify you..."

Beverly said to Dorothy on the page. Looking at Beverly's handwriting on the page in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then wrote "yes" on the page in response.

"Okay, I'll wait for you..."

After that, Dorothy briefly chatted with Beverly about some trivial matters, then said goodbye to her and closed her "Wenhai Voyage".

After finishing the chat, Dorothy put the "Wenhai Hangzhi" back into the magic box, and then began to lean back on the seat in the carriage, thinking about her next plan.

'I originally thought that Beverly's help might cost a lot of money, but I didn't expect that she would give me a task this time, and it was a task that I couldn't explain clearly for a while. What exactly is this task? After completing it, will Beverly be able to help me meet Prince Stone? This is very curious.

"But anyway, it's unlikely that we can complete the ritual of the 'stone' in the near future. We can only change direction a little bit. So... which of the other spiritual directions is the easiest to achieve?"

Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she quickly had a goal, which was "shadow".

'From the previous situation, there are various unclear connections between me and Goddess Jingyue, and Goddess Jingyue also has a certain degree of friendly attitude towards me, so... it is the best choice to carry out the "shadow" part now.

"At the moment, I don't have any clues to go to the Kingdom of Darkness, but I can find a way to summon Jingyue and ask her questions in person like before. If so... I will need to meet Pritt again..."

Dorothy thought so, and after several considerations, she finally confirmed her next itinerary and decided to go back to Pritt first, where she would summon Jingyue again to ask clear questions.

After confirming the target, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the newspaper delivered by the conductor on the table in the carriage and started reading. However, what Dorothy did not expect was that the first thing she saw in the newspaper was the news about Pritt.

"After years of preparation, the first World Expo is about to be held in Tivian, the capital of Plit!"

"International...Exposition?"

Somewhere in a mysterious, enclosed small space, incense diffused, shadows swayed, and among several balls of burning phantom fire, a huge magic circle was reflected on the ground.

This magic circle was like a precise reflection of a mysterious thing. The runes and words drawn on it were slightly moving in a strange rhythm and constantly changing. In the center of the magic circle, there was a shadow that looked like a flying insect.

At this moment, in the silent space, a faint white light appeared out of nowhere, and in that light, there was an illusory moth flapping its wings slowly.

The tiny moth was originally extremely illusory, but in the process of continuous flight, it gradually turned from illusory to real, and finally became a completely solid moth. The moth, which had completely lost its illusory and translucent state, fell on the magic circle on the ground, and then suddenly rose up as a shadow. Finally, after the shadow faded away, a figure stood on the magic circle.

That was a man, a skinny man with a pale face and messy black hair. He was wearing a simple robe in a pale white and gray color. His face looked sick, and there was only darkness in his eyes without pupils.

After the man appeared, he looked forward, then opened his mouth slightly, slowly knelt down in a dazed posture, and then kowtowed before the moth-shaped shadow in the center of the magic circle.

"Ah... failed again...

"I thought... the disturbance caused by the collision between the 'rebirth' of revival and the 'cup' of blood would bring some changes to the source of dreams... so that the real path would have a chance to appear... but everything is still lost...

"Moth... the influence of the cocoon has made me deeply confused... Please point out the direction for me and let your servant come to your side again... to assist you and completely defeat the twin enemies...

"The blood children of the 'Cup' have begun to act for their relatives, the decayed 'Lamp' has been vigilantly armed, and the ancient 'Revelation' is rising from the grave... The dragon's fang is looking for prey it should never touch... The change of the times is coming, and we don't have much time.

"Moth...please guide me..."

Kneeling on the ground, the man prayed dazedly and devoutly, but his prayers received no response, and the man continued to kneel on the ground alone, motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound came from outside that space.

"Sir...here is a letter from you."

"I have no connection with the real world anymore... There won't be any letter like this sent to me..." Continuing to kneel and pray, the man responded to the voice outside the space, and that voice continued to speak.

"But... this letter is really sent to you... and the appearance of this letter is very strange... very unusual..."

The voice outside began to tremble as it described how strange the letter he had received was. After hearing this, the man in the space paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Bring in the letter."

"yes!"

As soon as the words fell outside the space, a black envelope floated from the shadows like a flying insect and flew in front of the man. After the man received it, he observed it carefully.

Then he saw a blood-red spider mark on the seal of the letter.
