'In the past, the Wolfblood Society wanted to steal books about the early Virgin Mary faith from the church library. The Virgin Mary faction secretly supported Adele's scarlet heart. The conflict between the Afterbirth Cult and the Virgin Mary faction of the Radiant Light Cult seemed to be very sharp...'
Dorothy thought this in her mind. After roughly organizing it, Dorothy began to extract the spirituality from this research log. In the end, she obtained 3 points of "Cups" and 1 point of "Inspiration".
Afterwards, Dorothy began to recall the first secret document she saw in the evidence room, which originally belonged to Davic. Strictly speaking, this was not a secret document, but an incomplete and worn-out parchment painting. It was just that the content on this painting contained the virus. As Dorothy responded, the blurred content on the painting appeared before her eyes.
Although the content of the painting was blurry, Dorothy could still make out a general idea. This was a group portrait with a peculiar style. The main characters in the painting were gathered under a big tree. Occupying the main center position was a plump lady with a blurred face. She was wearing simple clothes and holding a bundle of wheat in her hands. Beside this lady were four figures.
Among these four figures, one is a hunter wearing animal skins and shooting arrows with a bow. One is a sailor with his upper body naked, looking into the distance. One has a crucible in front of him, boiling something. One is a graceful dancer dancing gracefully.
The four figures surrounded the lady under the tree. There were strange characters written on other parts of the painting. Dorothy could not recognize them and did not know what they meant. They looked somewhat similar to the Imperial characters.
"Is this... a painting of the Fertility Goddess? The one in the center of the painting is the Fertility Goddess, and the four people around her symbolize the other four kinds of paths in the Path of Cups besides the pure Path of Cups..." Dorothy thought to herself as she recalled the image on the parchment, and at the same time, she had questions in her mind.
'I don't know if the four people beside the goddess of plenty are just the four variegated branches of the 'cup', or if they are four variegated gods...but their images are completely different from the variegated 'cup' gods such as Taolang, Yuanshe, Yijiu, etc. They are all very serious human forms. If they are really the variegated gods serving the goddess of plenty, then they can only be the predecessors of Taolang and others. I don't know why they died?'
Recalling the contents on the hanging scroll, Dorothy thought to herself that it seemed that the religious situation in the world during the Third Age Empire was completely different from what it is now. As far as she could see now, the Church of the Goddess of Fertility during the Empire period seemed like a proper official religion, which was quite different from the present afterbirth cult.
Combined with the previous content, Dorothy can now determine that there seems to be some kind of intrinsic connection between the belief in the goddess of abundance in the imperial period and the current Afterbirth Cult and even the Our Lady of Radiance Cult. Both the Our Lady of Radiance Cult and the Afterbirth Cult are competing for the legacy of the belief in abundance.
"So... what happened at the end of the Third Epoch? The Empire... the Church of the Goddess of Plenty... the Star Book Society... they were all destroyed at that time... It seems that what happened at that time was quite a big deal..."
Dorothy murmured, and then she extracted the spirituality from the painting and finally obtained 4 "Cups" and 2 "Inspirations".
Then, Dorothy took out the secret document that Smith had found in the burning secret room, opened it and read it carefully. After a while, she had finished reading all the contents of the secret document.
…
This secret book contains a chapter of a philosophical nature, entitled "Homesickness".
The protagonist of the first chapter is a busy employee in a company in a big city. He worked hard when he was young and earned a considerable income in the city, but he always feels that he has an lingering homesickness deep in his heart. He misses his hometown and his mother in his hometown all the time. As he gets older, this nostalgia becomes more and more serious.
Later, the news of his mother's death reached the protagonist's ears. He put down his work and returned to his hometown to attend his mother's funeral. After the sad funeral, in order to calm his strong ideological plot, he chose to stay in his hometown instead of returning to the city where his career was booming.
But strangely, after returning to his hometown, the protagonist's homesickness not only did not get relieved, but became even worse. The inexplicably strong emotions kept him awake every night. He could not understand why his homesickness became more serious even though he had clearly returned to his hometown. He felt like he was in his hometown but not in it.
One night, the protagonist seemed to understand something under the torture of strong thoughts and emotions. He got up from the bed, took a shovel and came to his mother's grave. He shoveled out the buried coffin overnight and opened it, and saw his familiar face again.
Finally, the protagonist used a knife to cut open the abdomen of the corpse in the coffin and buried his head in it. In the blood and flesh, he felt the peace of returning home.
…
"Tsk... these secrets about the 'cup' are still as bizarre as ever..."
On the carriage, Dorothy closed the secret manual in her hand and commented simply that the "Cup" secret manual was always in the same style, and she had gotten used to it.
After reading the secret book, Dorothy immediately began spiritual extraction. In this book, "Homesickness", she obtained 3 points of "Cups" and 1 point of "Inspiration".
After extracting the three "Cup" secret books in one go, Dorothy began to extract the big ones, the poison identification content on the promotion stele. Since the promotion stele involved the promotion of all "Initiate" branches, it also involved all spiritualities. In addition to obtaining a large number of "Initiate" books, every other spirituality also increased.
Through the promotion stele, Dorothy gained 8 points of "Inspiration" and 3 points of all other spiritualities. Combined with the previous situation, Dorothy's spiritual situation is now as follows.
15 cups, 14 stones, 7 shadows, 4 lights, 14 silence, 30 enlightenment.
"Wow... After this wave, the spiritual accumulation situation is unexpectedly optimistic. Except for 'Shadow' and 'Light', all other spiritualities have met the requirements."
After reviewing her current spiritual status, Dorothy thought with joy that at first she thought she was far behind, but she did not expect that the situation would be much better than she expected after this wave of harvest. Especially the "Cup" spirituality, which was only 2 points left after losing everything in the past, and now it has increased to 15 points.
For Dorothy, "Shadow" and "Light" are not very difficult spiritual powers to accumulate. She can first go to Beverly to see if there are any related secrets for sale. If not, she can try to get them through other channels, such as Vanya or Gregor, or even the Eight-Pointed Nest.
"So, the spiritual aspect is not a big problem now. The key is the ritual... the names and holy emblems of the six pure-color gods... this is a bit difficult. No one can confirm who the six pure-color gods are, let alone obtain their holy emblems."
Dorothy murmured this. In the current Fourth Epoch, the only way to get information about the six pure-color gods is to find ways to explore secret histories or deal with various evil cults. This is much more difficult than becoming a werewolf and raising seven lambs.
"Huh... In short, let's take it slow for now. Right now, our main focus is on the promotion ceremony. Starting tomorrow, we'll start with the simplest steps..."
Dorothy said this with a long sigh, and then in the slightly shaking carriage, she began to think about her plan. Her carriage had already driven out of the woods and headed towards the city with lights in the distance.
