Chapter 300 Notes
In the afternoon, on the balcony of No. 17 Green Shade Town, Dorothy looked at the "Navy Chronicle" in her hand and thought silently. Looking at Adele's response just now, she wondered if there was any hidden confrontation and contradiction between the Our Lady of Glory and the Wolf. Cup Mother's Afterbirth. After all, they were both involved in the "Cup" field at the same time, and there might be some unknown disputes hidden in it.
'Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking it, and there may not be any high-level disputes between gods. After all, as the largest official extraordinary organization, the Glowing Light Cult should come forward to boycott a cult like the Wolf Blood Society.'
Dorothy thought so again, and after thinking for a while, she decided not to think about these problems that she couldn't figure out for the time being, so she closed the "Sea Voyage Log" in front of her, and began to appreciate the scenery around her, enjoying the coffee and sunshine in this leisure time.
While Dorothy was sipping her coffee, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Hey~ that guy over there~"
Hearing this voice, Dorothy was slightly stunned, then she looked towards the direction where the voice came from, looked down at the street below her house, and then she saw a familiar figure, a girl with short gray hair, wearing loose home clothes, an apron, and holding a bag. It was none other than Beverly.
"Beverly? Why are you here?" Dorothy said with some surprise when she saw her downstairs neighbor on the balcony, but Beverly waved the small rectangular bag in her hand expressionlessly and continued to call out.
"You got a package, come down and get it, hurry up, I'm still stewing soup at home."
"Stew soup? Isn't it enough for you, a clockwork man, to learn how to make coffee? Now you want to learn how to cook?" Dorothy had some unexpected thoughts in her heart after listening to Beverly's words, but she did not hesitate. She immediately got up and went back to the house and went downstairs. After she passed the door, Beverly handed the package to Dorothy. After Dorothy took it, Beverly continued to speak.
"Okay, I'll go back and continue recording the data. If you have time, remember to come to my place and taste the soup."
"Um...Okay, I'll come if I have time."
Dorothy responded to Beverly, then Beverly immediately turned around and left with her apron on. Looking at Beverly's back, Dorothy wondered how this clockwork man could be so good at making things happen. Last time she made coffee and now she is cooking. Is she recording these data to develop some kind of household service robot?
Dorothy's doubts only lasted for a moment, and then her attention immediately shifted to the long rectangular package in her hand. Although there was no information written on it, since Beverly brought it over, there must be only one sender.
Holding the new package, Dorothy went back to her room, closed the door and walked into the study. After sitting on the chair, she put the package on the table and opened it. Then, in front of Dorothy was an old notebook with a yellowed cover and a note on it. The note was written in Adele's handwriting.
"Of course..." Dorothy thought to herself, and now the only person she knew who would send her something through the stonemason was Adele. So it goes without saying that this must be the research materials of her teacher Darlene that Adele sent to her.
Without thinking much, Dorothy picked up the note and read its contents.
"This is the first document I found. It seems to be my teacher's early research notes on the path of 'initiate'. Because it contains poison identification, I didn't look at it carefully, so I don't know if there is any content that you are interested in. I am dealing with some troublesome things here. After I finish dealing with them, I will find other information and send it to you. For these materials, please keep them for you first, and finally, please pay attention to poison identification and protection."
"Poison recognition? That's great. I just used the Heart-Eating Staff Sword last time, and lost 7 cups. This is not a small amount, so I can make up for it this time."
Dorothy thought so, then put Adele's note aside, picked up Darlene's old notebook, opened it and read it carefully.
With the powerful learning ability brought by the scholar, Dorothy quickly finished reading this not-so-thick notebook, and she breathed a sigh of relief after finishing it.
"I never thought that Teacher Adele would be so outrageous... The path of lust and evil actually came about like this..."
Dorothy murmured, and then began to organize the contents of the notebook in her mind. As Adele said, this notebook was a notebook from Darlene's early research. At that time, she was just an apprentice and had not really embarked on the path of lust. The reason why she took this branch path surprised Dorothy.
According to the records in the notebook, Darlene is an ordinary farm girl from a remote mountainous area in Farano on the main continent. The mountain village where she lives is isolated from the outside world, and she rarely communicates with the outside world. She also maintains very unique customs and habits.
In Darlene's hometown, there is a unique belief. The people there believe in a deity known as the Goddess of Fertility. According to the description in the notes, this goddess can bring a good harvest to the land and is also the patron saint of love, marriage, and fertility. Generation after generation in Darlene's hometown has been worshipping such a goddess and has not been affected by the expansion of the Glorious Religion from the outside world.
Darlene comes from a family of priests of the goddess of fertility. She has learned a sacrificial dance since she was a child to worship the gods in various ceremonies. The main way of worship is dance, and it is a secret dance that includes many implicit means such as specific advance preparations, psychological hints, formulas and spells. In the process of learning the dance, Darlene feels that she is getting stronger day by day, and is increasingly loved by other people in the village, just like her ancestors.
Darlene wrote in her notebook that she later discovered that this ancestral sacrificial dance was the Dance of Desire. She even relied on the spiritual accumulation of the Dance of Desire and family rituals to become an apprentice of the "Cup" without realizing it. After her mother died, she officially inherited the position of priest of the village's goddess of fertility.
But not long after Darlene inherited, their peaceful life was soon interrupted. Due to industrial development, a railway was built near their village, and their long-standing secret worship beliefs were exposed. The Inquisitor of the Church of Light soon led the Crusaders to their village and forced the people here to change their beliefs. Under pressure from the Church of Light, the villagers had no choice but to accept.
Fortunately, the most insane trial of the Glorious Cult had passed, and now the methods were much more "sophisticated". Pagans only needed to convert in time to avoid any punishment, and they would not use the stake like before. As long as they did not resist the strange conversion, they would not use force. However, all traces of the original old faith had to be erased, the books in the village temple were confiscated, the murals were demolished, and the statue of the goddess of abundance was transformed into the statue of the Virgin Mary.
