Chapter 334 Replacement
In the New World, in a warehouse by the sea, using the puppet mark drawn in blood, Dorothy controlled the man who was strangled by Kapak to stand up, looked at the label on the cloth cover in front of her, and nodded in understanding while sitting in front of the fire.
"New Yak? If I remember correctly, this is the colonial city of Plit on the east coast of the New World, right? In other words, this is now the port of New Yak Port?"
Thinking like this, Dorothy controlled the man's body and walked to the window of the warehouse to look out. Through the man's vision, Dorothy saw outside the window the quiet dock under the night lights. In the distance, she could see the outlines of several ships docked. There were security guards in uniform patrolling the dock in twos and threes. In some places, she could also see workers moving things all night long.
"It's really a port... I remember that the New Yak Port should be one of the largest ports in the New World colony of Plit. Do those guys want to ship Capac and this batch of goods with the 'Silence' spirituality out of the country?"
Dorothy thought so by the fire, and then she manipulated the man to move his gaze away from the port outside the window, and began to look at herself carefully. She found that the living puppet she controlled was wearing a dock security uniform, and was not much the same as the other security guards she saw outside.
"It seems that this guy is a security guard. However, since he just came to check on Capac's condition and has the key to the wooden box outside Capac's cage, this proves that he is related to the association that attacked Capac and the Wild Spirit."
Dorothy looked at the security uniform on the puppet and thought so. Then she asked the puppet to search her body. After a while, he found a series of things, including a pistol, a knife, a talisman, a bone tool, a certificate, a key, and two iron coins...
There were two types of these talismans, both of which were of the 'silent' spiritual nature. Dorothy recognized one type, which was a soul-sealing talisman that could suppress and seal a soul inside an object. Dorothy had seen this thing on the killer Kim on the train to Tivian before. Dorothy couldn't recognize the other type, as she hadn't yet made the puppet use active skills, so she couldn't use the identification technique to identify it.
In addition, there were obvious traces of "silence" on the bone tools. Dorothy, who had seen bone makers, knew that there was a spirit attached to them. It should be the spirit that the security guard carried with him at all times for combat, but he was attacked and strangled before he could release it. The two iron coins were obviously the storage of the "silent" spirit.
Finally, it was the ID. Dorothy checked the security guard's ID and found out that his name was Tom. He was not only a security guard, but also a security captain, responsible for the nighttime security of warehouses in the New Jacques Port area.
'Tom...ha, there are so many extraordinary things on him. This security captain is an extraordinary person, at least an apprentice of 'Silence'. The association probably wants to ensure the safety of the goods, so it developed the security captain into a member.
'After all, if you want to transport so much cargo across the ocean conveniently, you still have to use large ports. Using these ordinary ports means using ordinary warehouses, and your extraordinary materials will be mixed with ordinary goods, so you have to take some safety measures.'
After checking the things on the security captain's body, Dorothy thought to herself that she knew from her experience studying the geography of this world in the Guanda Library that Dankdo was located in the country of Brito on the main continent. If it was to be transported from New Yak to the mainland, it would have to cross the ocean, and the distance was quite far.
Just as Dorothy was observing the surroundings of Tom, the captain of the Li's security team, Capac, who was still locked in the cage, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He lowered his voice and shouted to the figure standing in front of him.
"Hey, are you... the detective?"
"Oh...it's Capac. I almost forgot about you. Wait a moment. I'll see if I can let you out."
Hearing Capac's voice, Tom, under Dorothy's control, spoke slowly, then walked to Capac's cage, squatted down, picked up the key found on Tom and began to try to lock Capac's cage. After a while, he finally opened the lock and successfully released Capac. After Capac was successfully free, he immediately crawled out of the cage, took a few deep breaths and stretched his muscles.
"Oh... Thank you, Mr. Detective. I really don't know what I would do without you!"
Capac spoke gratefully to Tom who was being controlled by Dorothy. Having experienced being controlled before, he knew that the person in front of him was obviously the detective. Dorothy also made Tom nod in response.
"Well, if I have to thank someone... I'd rather thank Akka and the bachelor. I'm just entrusted by others and inspired by them." Dorothy responded to Capac through Tom's mouth. After hearing this, Capac closed his eyes and began to pray sincerely to Akka. After Dorothy listened to Capac's thanks again in her heart, she spoke again.
"You are free now, what are your plans next?"
"I must go to the tribe right now! Go to the tribe and report that bastard Banu to Teacher Wuta, so that his tribe can recognize his true face. Also, let Teacher Wuta see how Lord Muti is doing now!"
Capac spoke to Dorothy anxiously. After hearing the other party talking about Woodhoof, the spirit of the wilderness, Dorothy raised her eyebrows slightly, allowing Tom to glance sideways at the pile of boxes of goods beside her that were ready to be shipped to Dankodo, exuding a hint of "silence".
"What do you think of the spirituality on this pile of stuff?"
Dorothy asked Tom to point to the pile of boxes and said, Capac was slightly stunned when he saw it, then he took a few steps closer to the wooden boxes. After carefully checking them, his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"This feeling... this feeling is the spirit, the spirit of Lord Muti! This spirit is trapped inside!" Taking advantage of his keen sense of spirits, Kapak quickly discovered the problem in the box. He saw that the box contained nothing else but the spirit that he was very familiar with.
"Are they full of spirits? Humph, it seems that these guys' purpose has become clear."
Looking at the pile of wooden boxes in front of her, Dorothy said with a cold snort by the fire, then she manipulated Tom to speak to Capak.
"I think... the wilderness spirit called Woodhoof that you are looking for, as well as the spirits around it, may now be sealed in these boxes."
"What, you, you mean that Lord Woodhoof was sealed in here by those invaders?" Capac was stunned for a moment after listening to Dorothy's words, and then he looked at a pile of wooden boxes beside him and continued speaking.
"Why did the invaders do this?"
"Heh... most likely it's for spirituality again. You may not know about the various extraordinary associations on the main continent, but a considerable number of these guys are willing to do anything to get promoted and gain spirituality."
Dorothy made Tom sneer and said that up to now, Dorothy had seen many evil extraordinary societies. The biggest difference between these evil societies and official extraordinary organizations was that they would use any means to accumulate spiritual power and were as efficient as possible without any moral constraints. For example, a group of people in the afterbirth ate people with blood, so she was not surprised at all that there were people in the "Silence" society who directly ate souls.
In fact, because Dorothy was planning to obtain the holy emblem recently, she had been asking Beverly and Adele for information about various associations from time to time. The Order of the Underworld was the focus among them. From the superficial information Dorothy learned from Beverly, the Order of the Underworld had a huge influence in the "Silence" association. They used the soul refining method of directly refining souls to obtain spirituality, and in this way they obtained spirituality, so Dorothy had reason to conclude that these spirits were captured for refining.
"Spirituals... these extraordinary creatures among the invading creatures are attacking our wilderness spirits just for spirituality? Damn it... Then I must release Master Muti and the others before I leave!"
Hearing that Woodhoof and other spirits might be in the boxes, Capac became anxious and immediately stepped forward to open the boxes. However, Dorothy did not stop Capac, but let Tom watch silently from the side.
This batch of goods will be loaded on the ship at six o'clock in the morning of the 5th. Dorothy calculated the time difference and found that the time on the east coast of the New World is now around one o'clock in the morning of the 5th. In other words, in a few hours, this batch of goods will be loaded on the ship and headed for Dankdo. If she wants to rescue the spirits inside, she has to do it now.
Under Dorothy's gaze, Capricorn, with the remaining evil spirit on his body, forcibly pried open a long wooden box. What appeared inside the box was a black wooden coffin in the style of the main continent, with spells engraved on it. Seeing the coffin, Dorothy frowned slightly.
According to the information Dorothy obtained, the reason why the Order of the Underworld was called this was mainly because they used a large number of extraordinary props in the shape of coffins. The most important of these was the Soul-Binding Casket that could imprison the soul. Seeing the coffin in front of her, Dorothy directly suspected that the association was most likely the Order of the Underworld.
