Chapter 128: Sorting Out
Riding in a carriage, Dorothy and Vanya returned all the way from the mountains to Igwynte under the cover of night, and finally arrived at an intersection on the outskirts of the city for their departure.
Vanya told Dorothy that she was going back to the hotel arranged by the Igwynte Church. Before leaving, Dorothy stopped her and asked her to go home before leaving. Hearing Dorothy's words, Vanya couldn't help but get anxious.
"Miss Dorothea, please be careful with your words. This is an act of salvation for the Lord, an act of justice approved by the Lord. How can you use such despicable thief-like words as stolen goods?" Vanya adjusted her glasses and raised her hand to warn Dorothy seriously. After seeing this, Dorothy could only smile and apologize.
"Ha, sorry, I was just joking, don't take it too seriously. Now that this isn't stolen goods, let's share the spoils."
"The fruits of the battle... um... can I really have them?"
After correcting Dorothy's wording, Vanya began to think about Dorothy's suggestion. To be honest, this surprised her. Usually, when she participated in some archaeological recovery work, she would tacitly hand over any gains to her superiors. She never thought about keeping anything for herself. Even the research results of scriptures would sometimes become someone else's property.
And in this operation, Vanya also regarded Dorothy, who seemed to be closer to her, as her superior. Her fundamental purpose was to save children who might be harmed by the cult. She didn't plan to get anything at the beginning, and didn't think about any results, so she didn't expect Dorothy to take the initiative to come and ask her for things.
"Of course. After all, you have contributed a lot. I am a very fair person. Everyone will have a share. Let's do it slowly." Dorothy said bluntly, while Vanya still seemed a little hesitant.
"Well... uh... Miss Dorothea, my original intention was to follow God's will and save those children. It doesn't feel right to ask for things now. Should we... should we prepare a sacrificial ceremony and give the things to that person..."
Vanya said this. As a believer in the Virgin Mary, she had been influenced by the stories of selfless saints in the scriptures of the Church of Light since she was a child. She believed that noble deeds should be selfless. If one asked for rewards after doing noble deeds, it seemed that the original motive would not be so sincere, and the nobility would not be pure.
"Oh, what's wrong with that? It's only natural that you get what you work for. We are all mortals. Don't set too high a spiritual standard for yourself. It's very tiring. Here are some things you deserve. You don't have to make sacrifices. Seeing how hard we worked tonight, he must agree that we should use these things as rewards directly."
Dorothy said this cheerfully with a smile. Vanya was slightly startled after hearing this. She suddenly felt that it was incredible for a believer like this girl to say such words.
Finally, after Dorothy's persuasion, Vanya reluctantly agreed to accept the spoils.
Then, Dorothy opened her bag, revealing the loot inside, and then started to play with the confused Vanya.
According to the results of the battle, Dorothy took the larger share and Vanya took the smaller share. Dorothy gave Vanya nearly one-third to four hundred pounds, the talisman was the Ruoshengku talisman and some other talismans, and she got two silver coins worth of "shadow" as spiritual storage. Then Dorothy also gave her one of the two secret scriptures, saying that they could be exchanged after reading them.
Finally, regarding the three extraordinary items, the cane, the candle, and the bracelet, although Dorothy is still unclear about their uses, she can use the passive identification technique to view their spiritual types. The cane is of the "cup" attribute, the candle is of the "shadow" attribute, and the bracelet is of the "shadow" and "inspiration" attributes.
Just by looking at the attributes, Dorothy could actually guess the functions of several items, especially the "Shadow" and "Inspiration" bracelet, which was obviously the personal item used by the mentor to counter divination. This thing was useless for Dorothy who had a system, so she gave it directly to Vanya.
After packing up all the things, Vanya suddenly remembered that many of these things were contraband recognized by the church, and she couldn't bring them back like this, otherwise she might be detected by the church's bright lights. She would be returning to Tivian soon, and it would be dangerous to take these things with her.
Faced with Vanya's concerns, Dorothy said that she could help her send these things to Tivian, as long as Vanya provided a safe receiving address.
Afterwards, Vanya wrote an address to Dorothy on the spot, and after they said goodbye to each other, Dorothy drove home. After parking the carriage and placing the corpse, Dorothy returned to Nanyanghua Road with her bag, and walked up the stairs with a lamp to her door, and then saw an envelope placed at the door.
Dorothy opened it and found that it was from Greg. So she had to work an emergency shift tonight and didn't need to wait for him. She ate early and went to bed early. There was a very fast and efficient urban postal service in Igwyn, so when Greg suddenly had to work, he would write a letter to inform Dorothy. The security office seemed to have a special interface connecting the post office and the telegraph office, so it was very convenient to send letters. Dorothy had received such letters more than once.
"Think about it, it's impossible for them not to be on duty tonight... This wave of events is unprecedentedly large, but since the letter has been sent back, it proves that the Security Bureau has successfully dealt with the mutated Viscount Field, and Greg should be fine now..."
After reading the letter in her hand, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. Then she entered the house and quickly went to her room. After locking the door, she turned on the table lamp, sat down on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally, after sitting on the chair for a long time, Dorothy, who had recovered her breath, began to review today's achievements. First, she put her own things in the bag on the table and began to calculate the recent loss and increase of resources.
First of all, it was money. After looting from the Buck family, he had 335 pounds. He asked Aldridge to identify several waves of talismans and asked about the information of beastmen, which cost him 170 pounds. Then he bought a mark talisman from him and asked about the method of eliminating the smell, which cost him another 50 pounds. In the end, he had 115 pounds left.
This time at the Fields' house, Dorothy hurriedly collected 1,209 pounds in cash, of which 403 pounds were given to Vanya, and she had 806 pounds left. In addition to the original 115, Dorothy now had a total of 921 pounds in cash.
"As expected, the Viscount's family is different. I can get this much just by taking a little. This can be regarded as the reward for eliminating their enemies. If the first Viscount Field knew about this in heaven, he would definitely forgive me and might even take the initiative to give more."
Looking at the pile of nearly one thousand pounds in banknotes in her hand, Dorothy couldn't help but smile and thought that it was the first time since she traveled through time that she could use so much money.
Then there is spirituality. Dorothy hasn't had any major spiritual loss recently. She just used a little "cup" to activate the life-saving during the time in the Field house. Now the corpse ring has just completed the overload of the upper limit of five controls, and it also needs 2 "cups" to recharge. Dorothy previously obtained 2 "cups" and 1 "inspiration" from the complete version of "The Song of the Lamb", so in the end she actually only lost 1 "cup", which she can make up for after reading for a while.
Then comes "Inspiration". "Inspiration" is the spiritual power that Dorothy consumes the most. "Inspiration" is used for precise manipulation of the corpse ring, increasing the upper limit of the corpse, and divination. The original 5 points of "Inspiration" in Dorothy's blue bar have been used up, and in the end she had to draw 2 points of "Inspiration" from the experience bar to offset the 1 point of "Inspiration" obtained from "The Song of the Lamb". Dorothy finally lost 1 point of "Inspiration" that was originally used as experience value.
Otherwise, all other spiritual attributes remained unchanged, so Dorothy's current spiritual status is .
11 points for "Cup", 1 point for "Stone", 2 points for "Shadow", 1 point for "Silence", and 7 points for "Start". Among the 7 points of "Start", 5 points are blue bars, and now they are empty, and it will take some time to recover.
