"There is actually a club in Guanda University that studies secrets? How could a group of students do such a dangerous thing? Miss, you need to quit immediately!"
Nunot said this in a serious tone. After hearing his words, Nefernis paused and then continued.
"Eh... Now is not the time to talk about this, Grandpa Nunot. What I want to say is that I learned some knowledge about extraordinary items when I was in the club. So now I want to see what the real extraordinary item looks like. As the heir of the Boyle family, I should have the right to see this extraordinary thing that concerns the life and death of our entire family."
Nefernis said this to Nunot. Nunot paused and nodded after listening to Nefernis' words.
"Of course, young lady, you have the right to do so, but I still want to advise you to just take a look at these things. Don't be obsessed with them, and don't even think about studying them in depth. This could very well bring disaster."
Nunot said this to Nefernis, and Nefernis nodded seriously.
"Well, I will keep it in mind. Now, Grandpa Nunot, take me to the basement to have a look."
Nefernis said this, and after her repeated requests, Nunot could no longer resist, so he walked out of the study and went downstairs along the stairs, followed closely by Nefernis.
Soon, Nunot brought Nefernis to a collection room on the first floor, where Nunot triggered a mechanism behind a portrait. Then a wall in the collection room opened, revealing a staircase leading down. Nunot took a gas lamp and walked up the stairs, followed closely by Nefernis, who looked around curiously all the way. This was her first time to come to the secret part of the house.
Soon, the downward stairs reached the end, and Nunot and Nefernis stood in front of an iron door. Nunot opened the iron door with the key, entered an underground room, and lit the gas lamp inside.
The light illuminated the dim space, and Nephnis was able to see the scene inside the room. This was an underground space that was not too large. The room was spacious as a whole. On the ground in the center, there was a large magic circle made of rocks. The main body of the magic circle was a closed eye. In the center of the pupil was a stone base with a metal scepter inserted on it.
This scepter is about one meter tall and is made of dark yellow metal, but it is impossible to tell what kind of metal it is from the color. The scepter is engraved with fine carvings, and the head of the scepter is decorated with an eagle-shaped decoration with flying wings. The whole scepter is very delicately made, and it is a very valuable work of art just by looking at its appearance.
"This is... the extraordinary item that has protected our family from the curse for so many years?"
Looking at the scepter in front of her, Nefernis murmured, and Nunot beside her nodded in response.
"Yes, this is one of the most precious treasures that the old master obtained in North Wufei. It is a scepter that has the ability to resist curses. It is this thing that has protected the old master and the entire Boyle family for decades. But now it lacks the spirituality to support its operation, so its effectiveness is constantly weakening."
Nunot answered, and after listening to his words, Nefernis nodded and stepped forward, walked to the scepter inserted in the stone base, and carefully examined the object in front of her.
"According to Miss Dorothea, the spirituality that this thing lacks is called 'Enlightenment' spirituality. Although this kind of thing is very precious outside, it is nothing to the Rosicrucian who studies 'Enlightenment'. You and I already have a certain amount of 'Enlightenment' spirituality in our bodies. We just need to inject it into the body."
Recalling the message Dorothy had just written to her, Nephthys thought that after her recent hard "study", she had already read three or four secret scriptures and extracted a lot of "inspiration" from her body. According to Dorothy's suggestion, she could now inject these "inspirations" into the scepter to restore its full function.
Without much hesitation, Nefernis, who trusted Dorothy very much, gently placed her hand on the scepter, and then began to inject the "inspiration" spirituality in her body according to the method taught by Dorothy in the book. For a moment, the scepter on the stone base emitted a faint purple light. Seeing this, Nunot, who was watching from behind, was startled and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"W-what? This is..."
Nunot, who had taken care of the scepter for decades, naturally knew what the condition of the scepter in front of him meant. It was receiving spirituality!
"How is it possible? There is no storage at all right now... How could there be spiritual infusion? Could it be..."
With an expression of disbelief, Nunot looked at Nefernis standing in front of the scepter. Just as he was about to say something, something strange happened at the scene.
Suddenly, the gas lamp in the underground secret room went out, and the light around dimmed without warning. The temperature of the air in the secret room dropped by several degrees at once, and a chill suddenly crept up Nephnis's spine.
'This is……'
Nephnis felt something was wrong around her. Logically speaking, infusing extraordinary objects with spirituality should not cause such a situation. Just as she was confused, a voice sounded.
"Don't try to hide behind that cowardly shelter anymore, Boyle!"
A sharp sound like sand scratching on a blackboard suddenly rang out in the secret room, startling everyone inside. Along with the sound, a phantom gradually appeared in the air in the dim secret room.
It was a withered and translucent shadow, a tall and completely dehydrated mummy. The mummy was wearing a solemn robe adorned with luxurious gold pendants, and a crown decorated with towering cobras on his head. There was no moisture on his withered face, and faint green flames were leaping in his dark eye sockets.
“Ahhh!!”
"Be careful Miss!"
The emergence of the mummy's shadow in the air scared Nefernis so much that she let go of the scepter and stepped back several steps, causing her to scream loudly. Nunot, who was standing by, immediately took out a knife engraved with an inscription from his waist and threw it at the shadow, but the knife went straight through the shadow.
"This... is neither a physical body nor a spiritual body... is it just a simple illusion?"
Seeing this scene, Nunot thought in his heart, then the shadow of the mummy spoke again, the sound he made was not Putin, but everyone present could understand it.
"Davis Boyle, you are a petty... despicable... shameless thief! You must pay for your actions. Even if you die and return to your original soul, your bloodline will pay the price for you! Don't think about hiding forever!"
With a roaring tone, the shadow of the mummy roared loudly in the secret room. Listening to its words, Nephnis probably understood that this might be the manifestation of the so-called curse. Now the most urgent thing is to continue to inject "inspiration" into the scepter to make the scepter in the best condition to resist the curse.
Thinking of this, Neveu immediately stepped forward and prepared to grab the scepter again. However, as soon as she took a step, a feeling of powerlessness swept over her whole body. At the same time, her consciousness began to become blurred, and her whole body began to become extremely weak.
Just like that, the weak Nefernis fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the shadow of the mummy continued to shout.
"Don't try to hide in the shelter of cowardice. I won't let go of this opportunity! All the Boyles must die! This time, your souls will be enslaved by me forever, and don't even think about returning to the original state!"
The mummy shadow shouted, and in order to prevent the asylum from being activated again, the curse on the Boyle family hit Nefernis directly.
