Chapter 280: Power
"Grandpa's notes... Grandpa, who didn't want us to get in touch with the secrets and the extraordinary, did he leave something like this?"
Inside the Boyle mansion, in the tea room on the first floor, Nephnis couldn't help but murmur in surprise after hearing Nunot's words, while Nunot continued to explain.
"The old man was involved in the vortex of the secret struggle of the extraordinary. Although he and his family escaped death countless times, all his relatives and friends around him died. Since the last brothers of the old man were all buried in Hafdar's tomb, he developed a disgust for the secret extraordinary. After marrying your grandmother, he retired from the secret and returned to Pritt. He no longer got involved in any affairs involving the extraordinary, and he did not want his descendants to follow the same path as him. He did not let you and your parents get involved with the extraordinary, because he knew that most of the troubles of the extraordinary were self-inflicted.
"But the old man also knew that the curse had entangled his family. It was inevitable that some unexpected situations would occur in the future. His descendants might have to face extraordinary threats one day, so he also left some means for emergency use. That notebook is one of them. It contains the old man's experience in exploring the path of 'Silence', the method of accumulating spirituality, and the choice of promotion branches and even the promotion ceremony after communicating with the spirit. If you want to continue on the path of 'Silence'... this notebook will be very useful to you."
Nunot spoke to Nefernis earnestly. Listening to Nunot's words, Nefernis couldn't help but feel her heart beating, and then she continued to speak.
"Then... will Grandpa record something about Hafdal in that notebook? I want to know why our family has been cursed like this. Will there be a way to lift the curse in that notebook?"
Nefernis spoke to Nunot with expectation. Listening to Nefernis' words, Nunot frowned slightly, and then spoke to Nefernis quite solemnly.
"I don't know whether there is any information about Hafdal in the old man's notes, but Miss, listen to me, even if there is, you must not have any thoughts about that ancient elf. Even when the old man was young and victorious, he could only escape with serious injuries when facing Hafdal. How strong is this ancient elf? What level is it? It is completely unfathomable... The old man could only live under it and steal. Miss, even if you know the information about Hafdal from the notes, you must not have any thoughts. It is an ancient elf from thousands of years ago, and ordinary mortals like us cannot compare with it!"
Nunot warned Nefernis that he was worried that Nefernis would go to Ufeija to look for the source of the curse, so his words were very stern. Nefernis could only nod after listening.
"Um... I understand, Grandpa Nunot... I was just asking..."
"It's just a question. Miss, don't think about anything else regarding Hafdal." After giving Nefernis serious instructions, Nunot looked at the dark sky outside and continued.
"When the master wakes up, I will go to the old manor and bring you the old man's notes. You can refer to the old man's experience to practice the extraordinary... It's getting late now, so you should rest first. I will take you back to school early next morning."
"Well...thank you Grandpa Nunot."
Afterwards, Nefernis and Nunot parted ways and returned to their rooms at home. Then they took out their history books and began to write responses to Dorothy.
…
In the northern suburbs of Tivian, at No. 17 Green Shade Town.
Dorothy sat at the table in her study, looking at the responses Nephnis had written to her in the "Wenhai Voyage" in front of her. These responses roughly introduced the previous incidents from her side and the current situation. In fact, before she wrote this information, Dorothy had already understood the situation through her own senses.
However, Nefernis' responses were not completely without useful information. In them, she mentioned the abilities she had gained after becoming a psychic.
Nefernis is now an apprentice-level psychic of "Silence". Her extraordinary ability is that she has clairvoyance that ordinary people do not have. She can feel and see all kinds of ghosts and spirits floating in the world, communicate with them, attract and expel these souls to a certain extent, and even guide these souls to follow her spiritually and induce them to do some things.
In addition, the psychic has the ability to adapt to damage from ghosts, has a strong willpower, has a certain degree of resistance to possession and curses, and can better adapt to the cold.
"This is the ability of the Psychic Doll. Since he is an apprentice, his ability is not that outstanding. It feels similar to the efficient information processing and super memory of the All-Knowing Doll. In terms of actual combat, it feels a level lower than the Hungry Doll and the Stealth Doll. In the early stage of combat, the Cup and Shadow Dolls are indeed a bit too strong."
Looking at what Nefernis described about the abilities of the psychic, Dorothy thought to herself that as an apprentice, the vitality of the Thirsty Psychic was indeed a bit exaggerated. Most other professions only had some minor abilities.
After reading Nefernis's response, Dorothy closed the "Hai Hai Navigation" and began to review her gains. In this action of helping the Nefernis family resist the curse, her biggest gain was the secret scripture recited by the ancient spirit.
This secret transmission entitled "The Poem of Regret" directly contributed to Dorothy 4 "Silence" and 3 "Inspiration" spiritualities. After all the accumulation, Dorothy's current spiritual status is 5 cups, 7 stones, 6 shadows, 1 light, 11 silence, and 12 inspiration.
Dorothy originally had 6 "cups", and she just gave Neveu a card that gave her another point, so now she only has 5 "cups", which is still quite scarce.
"I feel a little nervous about the cup, but I still have one piece of beef jerky spiritual storage that Adele gave me last time. With it, I shouldn't be too short of cups in the near future. But if I want to solve the problem of lack of cups in the long term, I'm afraid I'll still have to rely on Adele and the others."
Dorothy examined her own spirituality and thought that although she only had a little "lamp" spirituality, which was equally important, if she used her "lamp" for divination, the spirituality used in the divination ritual could be replaced by the stored items. She still had 4 "lamp" stores left, so she was not in a hurry.
"It would be great if there were other ways to accumulate spirituality... maybe I could learn to dance from Adele. Her method of becoming an idol seems to have helped me gain spirituality quite quickly... and I seem to be pretty good looking too~"
Dorothy thought so, but quickly dismissed the idea. Debuting as an idol would be too ostentatious and totally out of character for Dorothy.
Besides, Dorothy is only thirteen years old now. Although she is pretty and cute, there is no problem for her to be an idol, but Greg will come to Tivian soon. If he sees Dorothy neglecting her studies to sing and dance, he will definitely get angry on the spot.
After finishing some random thoughts, Dorothy focused her attention on the current situation. She was still somewhat interested in the ancient elf Hafdal who called himself a prince.
'This Hafdar... seems to be a great noble of the ancient civilization of Northern Ufija. I don't know why he became a spirit in the tomb... According to its wild words when its phantom disappeared, its power is gradually recovering. This can be confirmed by the fact that its curse power on the Boyle family has greatly increased recently.
'Another point worth noting is... the ancient texts that have been destroyed in Northern Ufeija seem to be related to the two paths of 'enlightenment' and 'silence'...'
Dorothy thought so, and she made such a judgment based on the content of the "Repentance Poem" chanted by Hafdal. This poem seemed to be written by an ancient spirit like Hafdal. The content of the whole poem was repentance, repentance to a god named Judge of Heaven, repenting for their own depravity, the degeneration of the spirit of "Enlightenment" to the spirit of "Silence".
