Chapter 190: Necklace
Outside the west gate of King's Campus, Greenshade Town.
At noon, in a private room on the first floor of a teahouse in Green Shade Town, Dorothy and Nephthys sat across a table from each other. Dorothy was sipping her tea with a relaxed look on her face, while Nephthys looked a little nervous.
"Excuse me, Miss Dorothea, is the union you and Mr. Brandon in called the Rosicrucian?"
"Yes, Rosicrucian, this is what we are called. We are more secretive than the average secret group. Currently, very few people know about it. Senior Sister Nefnis, you are one of them."
While drinking black tea, Dorothy pointed at Nefernis in front of her with her finger. Nefernis was slightly startled, then answered with a serious expression.
"It's even more secret than the usual secret knot... Very few people know about it... Miss Dorothea, you told me such a secret name to an outsider because..."
"No, no, no, you are not an irrelevant outsider. Ever since you were saved by Brandon, you have been unable to stay out of it. You have long been an associate of the Rosicrucian.
"Don't you want to use our strength to fight against the Eight-pointed Nest? If we want to fight them more smoothly, we need your closer cooperation. This is why I came to see you."
Dorothy interrupted Nephthy. Nephthy was slightly stunned after hearing what Dorothy said, and then she murmured.
"Closer cooperation... you mean..."
"After our preliminary investigation yesterday, we found that it is a little troublesome to deal with the power of the Eight-Pointed Nest in the school. We have encountered some obstacles. If we want to break through these obstacles, the best way right now is you, Senior Nefernis." Dorothy continued, while Nefernis was stunned.
"Me? What can I do?"
"Didn't you tell Brandon that the so-called thorn uses his collection of books to control the students in your group? His collection of books is so huge that the more you read, the more trust you can gain from him. If you read more books, you can even enter the inner area that ordinary students can't enter.
"Now let me ask you, is there a long corridor full of cobwebs between the inner and outer areas?"
Dorothy said to Nefernis, who nodded.
"Well, it's like this, there does seem to be a very dirty corridor with lots of cobwebs between the inner and outer areas, and it seems that it's never been cleaned.
"The so-called inner area is actually the director's office, warehouse and underground library of our secret school. But since Thorn took control of the entire organization, those places have become inaccessible to other ordinary personnel. Only he and his subordinates, as well as personnel who have read more than four volumes of books and have been thoroughly influenced, can enter."
Nephnis recalled and said this. After hearing her words, Dorothy nodded slowly and said.
"Very good. Now we need you to finish reading all four volumes of the collection to qualify for the inner zone. I remember Brandon said you have already finished two volumes. Now you only need to read two more volumes."
"Ah, read all four volumes?"
Hearing Dorothy's words, Nephness was slightly startled, and then immediately responded.
"No, Miss Dorothea, didn't Mr. Brandon tell you that reading that guy's collection of books would make you abnormal and slowly be controlled by him. I lost my necklace because of my grandfather's necklace. Now the necklace is broken, and I can't read those books anymore."
Seeing Nefernis's somewhat anxious expression, Dorothy smiled slightly and continued.
"I know there are problems with Thorn's collection of books. I certainly won't let you read them without any protection. In fact, the Rosicrucian has the means to help others resist similar harm. We can help you resist the poison contamination of Thorn's collection of books..."
"Knowing the poison..."
"That is the poison of knowledge. It is contained in all secret knowledge. It is something that must be guarded against in extraordinary practice. Of course, some people will take advantage of the characteristics of knowledge poison to achieve some ulterior motives. The books in Thorn Velvet's collection contain such a thing.
"For ordinary secret books... or secret stories, you will feel something is wrong not long after you start reading them. If you continue reading, you will have a violent reaction. But that Thorny Floss must have split the secret story into eight parts for you to read, so that the poison will be diluted and the reaction will be reduced, so that it can affect you unconsciously."
Dorothy listened to Nefnis's simple explanation, and Nefnis nodded thoughtfully after listening. She remembered that in the previous secret learning, the predecessors would warn her what books she could read and what books she could not read, and if she read a book that made her feel strange, she must stop reading immediately. Now it seems that those are the so-called effects of poison recognition.
"So, according to what you just said, Miss Dorothea, the Rosicrucian has the ability to resist poison. In other words, you can protect me from the influence of the Thorny Vine Book? Just like Grandpa's necklace."
Nefernis said, and Dorothy nodded, then took out a book from her small bag. Looking at the cover, it was a Plitvice history book.
"Take this. On the title page of this book, there is a name. After you read a little bit of Thorn's collection, you can meditate and pray to that name. Then, the accumulated poison will be eliminated under that person's grace, and then you can continue to read safely."
