Chapter 190 Origin
"Hey...why am I okay?"
Hearing this question, Nephnis was slightly startled, then she hesitated for a while and then said.
"Regarding this question, I actually found it very strange at first. I clearly read at least two books, but I didn't feel anything obviously abnormal. Or maybe it was because I didn't feel anything abnormal that I felt that those who had read the books were becoming more and more abnormal.
"At first I thought there was something special about me that made me unaffected by those books, but later I realized I was wrong. I wasn't special. The reason I wasn't affected by the books was that something was protecting me."
Nephnis said this. Dorothy frowned slightly after hearing her words, then controlled Brandon to ask.
"Is there something protecting you?"
“That’s it…”
As she spoke, Nephnis began to search in her pockets. After searching for a while, she found a small wristwatch. She placed it on the table and opened it. Then, on the wristwatch was a pile of gold ornaments, mainly broken small gold chains and broken pendant parts.
"This is my family heirloom necklace. I used to wear it all the time, but when I was about to finish reading the second book, it suddenly broke into pieces for no apparent reason. Then when I read the last part of the second book, I felt something strange, so I think it must be this necklace that protected me from being contaminated by those books."
Nefernis spoke bluntly. Dorothy was curious after hearing her words, and then she carefully examined the gold ornament fragment in her hand from Brandon's perspective.
There is nothing to see about the broken chain. The key is the broken pendant. Although it is broken, there are only two large pieces. It is easy to restore its original appearance after taking a look. It seems that it should have been a relatively abstract pendant in the shape of an eagle head.
"You said this is your family heirloom necklace, Miss Boyle. Is there something special about your ancestors?" Brandon Nefernis asked, and the other party thought for a moment before answering.
"To say it's special... actually, it is. According to my father, my grandfather was once a tomb robber. He was born in Pritt and wandered around for a while, and finally ended up in Northern Ufia. He made his fortune by stealing objects there. After accumulating enough wealth, he returned to his hometown of Pritt, and then settled in Tivian. He invested the money he earned from tomb robbery and left my father a rich fortune.
"It is said that my grandmother was also found by my grandfather from Beiwufei. My appearance and skin color are somewhat different from those of the Puritans because of my grandmother's bloodline. My name is also inherited from my grandmother, which is different from that of ordinary Puritans."
Nephnis finished speaking, Dorothy was slightly stunned after listening to it, and then Li and Brandon spoke.
"If I remember correctly, you said you were studying archaeology? Your grandfather was a tomb robber, and you came to university to study archaeology?"
"Well, my house still has many artifacts that my grandfather dug out from northern Ufia. I have been very interested in these artifacts since I was a child and wanted to know more about the stories behind them, so I chose archaeology as my major when I went to college. My grandfather once caused many artifacts to be damaged and lost, and I thought I could make up for it in the future.
"I think this necklace must be a magical item that my grandfather found in Beiwufei, so it can protect me."
Nephnis answered seriously. After hearing her words, Dorothy also complained in her heart.
"You guys, this grandfather is tomb robbing, and the granddaughter is doing archaeology, they are both craftsmanship..."
Later, Dorothy recalled the information about Uffizi.
Wufei, also known as the Southern Continent, is located in the south of the main continent, and the two continents are separated by the Raging Sea. Wufei is mainly divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the northern Wufei is also known as the Hot Sand Continent. It is an endless vast desert with little water and a hot climate. Only a few oasis areas nourished by rivers and groundwater lakes can be inhabited.
It is said that there are many relics of ancient civilizations in the vast desert of northern Ufrica, which has attracted countless tomb robbers to steal treasures. Many experts have concluded that there once existed a powerful empire that has been destroyed.
The current Ufei Continent, like the Xi Continent to the west, has been divided up and colonized by the powers of the main continent, including Pritt.
'It seems that this necklace was stolen by Nephthys' grandfather from the ancient tomb of Beiwufei. It has the function of defending against poison attack, so Nephthys was not attacked by it. However, the protection of this necklace seems to be limited or there is not much spirituality in it. After resisting two poison attacks, it broke directly.'
'And that Thorn Velvet obviously belongs to a society called the Eight-Pointed Nest. They control the Secret Knowledge Society of the school group in order to facilitate their actions in the school and find some things. This thing is the same as what I am looking for, and it is very likely to be a relic hidden in the school.
"But, wasn't it said that the remains of the Xingshu Book Repair Society had been plundered by several societies and had long been cleared out? Why are these people here looking for it? Could they have a way to scrape out something?"
Dorothy summarized in her mind with doubts. After finishing the summary, she found that she had a general understanding of the situation in the school and Nefernis. She now decided to start investigating the so-called Eight-Pointed Nest Society.
"Miss Boyle, where does the thorns you mentioned usually appear?" Brandon asked Nefernis, and the other party answered immediately.
"Cricket rarely shows up now. After we were ranked, we were usually managed by our superior students. Now, he usually manages us through other superior students. The more books we read from his collection, the more we can gain his trust and become his superior.
"But now he occasionally appears at our meeting place, and we can still see him sometimes."
Nefernis responded, and after listening to his words, Brandon nodded.
"Is that so? Then Miss Boyle, you should be able to get to the rendezvous place safely now."
"The two thorny people just now have been killed by you. My abnormality should not have been exposed yet. I usually pretend to be under the influence of the book. Currently, I can go to the meeting place freely. They still think I am a controlled person."
Nefernis responded. After hearing what he said, Brandon thought for a moment and spoke again.
"Well, that's right... From what you said, this Eight-pointed Nest seems to be seeking something hidden in the school. To be honest... the target of our association is also hidden in the school. Maybe we are looking for the same thing as them. It seems that we are already in a competitive relationship...
"So Miss Boyle, we can help you fight against the Eight-pointed Nest and help you liberate your classmates, but you must cooperate with our actions."
Brandon looked at Nefernis solemnly. After hearing his words, Nefernis' eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
Qian?:, Xun "! Free!! Little?" ""! Say?!? Skirt!";:2;5;?5?,5,.;9!?5:?3?:?0"?,,0 "Well! Thank you very much for your help. As long as we can get everyone out of the hands of the thorns, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with you."
After clearly hearing that this mysterious society was willing to help her, Nephnesse's heart leaped with joy. Although she had made up her mind to fight against the Thorns and the Eight-Pointed Nest, the gap in strength between the two sides was too huge. The other party was a secret society composed of true extraordinary people, while she was just an ordinary mystic lover, not even an extraordinary person. How could she defeat them? Nephnesse was once in despair because of this.
But now it was different. Another secret society had intervened and clearly stated that it could help her. Nephnis had seen the methods of this society. They had a lot of people and they all had guns! And the leader named Brandon had the extraordinary ability to revive the dead. They directly killed two of Thorn's men, one of whom was an extraordinary person.
Nefernis could feel that this mysterious society represented by Brandon seemed to be very powerful. With the support of such a society, Nefernis' confidence in fighting against the thorns was suddenly strengthened. She immediately took the initiative to ask.
"Then may I ask how I can cooperate with you?"
After listening to Nefernis's words, Dorothy thought for a while, then persuaded Brandon to speak.
"Tomorrow you will find an opportunity to go to the meeting place as usual."
