For Dorothy, activating the mechanism again, opening the exit of the secret room and sending the holy emblem out was not an option. The sound of the mechanism needed to be covered up by the sound of gunfire, but Dorothy had fired a blank shot in the villa before, and Kenk was already alert and specifically ordered his men not to move after hearing the sound of the gunfire, so it would be very risky for Dorothy to use the same trick again.
But fortunately, for Dorothy now, there are other ways to send the holy emblem out besides the secret door.
Holding the holy emblem in her hand, Dorothy asked the servant to look at the ceiling above the secret room. There was a small vent with a fence made of thin iron bars on it.
It is impossible for an underground space like this, where one needs to stay and work for a long time, to have no ventilation vents. At present, the ventilation vents of this laboratory should be independent of the ventilation system of the villa and connected to somewhere outside.
After looking at the vent on the ceiling several meters high, Dorothy asked the butler to take something out of his pocket. After opening his hand and taking a closer look, he found that it was the corpse of a black crow.
This is none other than Dorothy's bird-shaped corpse puppet, which was brought in under the cover of the Eight-pointed Minion Corpse Puppet and given to the butler corpse puppet so that he could easily take out the holy emblem.
Using her ability, Dorothy made the crow puppet move again, and then let it pick up the holy emblem from the other hand of the servant puppet, and then flapped its wings and flew through the thin iron bars of the vent.
Then, Dorothy cast a Life-Eating Talisman on herself and transferred the effect of the talisman to the crow corpse puppet. She then asked the crow corpse puppet, which had been empowered, to use its claws to bend the thin iron bars that made up the fence, trying to open a passage and get in. The thin iron bars began to gradually bend with a creaking sound under the powerful claw force of the crow corpse puppet.
If it were an ordinary person with a raw diet, such a thin iron bar could be pried apart in a few strokes, but now it was a crow, it would take some time.
Of course, Dorothy would not waste this time. Right in front of her was Barrett's laboratory, which contained his research on the belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess. Now that Dorothy was here, she would definitely look around to see if she could find some of his research results.
"Yajian has gone to so much trouble just to destroy Barrett's research on the Mirror Moon Goddess. The truth behind it must be something that Yajian is very afraid of. I wonder how much of the truth Barrett has mastered?"
With this in mind, Dorothy controlled the male servant corpse to search for valuable things in the laboratory. First, she shifted her attention to the most conspicuous thing in the entire laboratory, which was the warrior statue standing in the corner.
Dorothy had the butler puppet come up to the statue and look it over, then focus on the translation label on its base.
According to the translation, the person carved in this statue is named "Arthur Despenser", and is known as the Wind Knight, one of the Four Knights of Shadow Moon. Dorothy is actually not unfamiliar with this name... or rather, all the Putts are familiar with it.
Arthur Despenser is the ancient hero in the legends of the Putt people, the guardian of the three Putt islands, the source of the bloodline claimed by the current Putt royal family, and a legendary figure known to all Putt people.
Every Putt person can tell the story of Arthur, and Dorothy has heard about it since she was a child. There are many legends about him, most of which are heroic epics about slaying monsters, expelling the remnants of evil gods, and saving the world.
It is rumored that the Glowing Savior came to the world from the Palace of the Sun, defeated many evil gods and saved the world. However, the defeat of the evil gods does not mean that evil has disappeared. There are still many monsters created by the evil gods in the world. They hide in every corner under the light of the savior, and will come out again to stir up trouble and wreak havoc on the world after the savior returns. Arthur is a special hero active in this background.
In the stories Dorothy heard since she was a child, Arthur was a Putt who was born in the distant ancient times. At that time, Putt was in chaos ravaged by the remnants of evil gods. Putt was slaughtered by all kinds of horrible monsters and people lived in fear.
In this chaotic Putt, there appeared an old swordsman in disgrace. He held a stone sword and went around Putt recruiting disciples. Because he required his disciples to use the heavy stone sword for training, many people thought he was a madman and no one paid any attention to him. Even if someone occasionally trained under him for a period of time, they would eventually give up because of the heavy stone sword.
Only Arthur, with amazing perseverance, completed the training wielding the heavy stone sword. After seeing Arthur's training, the old swordsman laughed and flew to the sky for a glorious warrior. It turned out that he was the Son of God. In this way, he selected the hero to save Putt. In the end, Arthur also wielded the stone sword, which was essentially a god, and killed many monsters on the island of Putt.
This is the beginning of the story of Arthur Despenser that Dorothy had heard when she was a child. Overall, it is a very standard heroic legend with a touch of the Luminary Church. After this opening, it is the story of how Arthur used his strength and wisdom to kill the monsters on Point Island one by one in the name of the Son of God, and finally became the first king of Point Island.
At the end of these stories, Arthur met the most difficult opponent in his life, a monster with black wings, countless mouths, sucking blood, and flying freely in the sky. Arthur fought this bloodthirsty monster eight times. Every time the monster was beaten away, it would run away. Arthur chased it under the guidance of the Son of God. He caught up with it eight times in total. After defeating it eight times, he finally killed it completely. After this, Arthur was taken to heaven by the Son of God and left the world. Arthur's legend also ended.
Then from the perspective of the male servant corpse, Dorothy looked at the stone statue of the warrior in front of her and recalled the stories she had heard when she was a child. She could still remember that Arthur's story was very attractive to Gregor, who was still a little boy at the time. When the children gathered together to play, they would rush to play Arthur first.
'The story of the great hero Arthur, the messenger of the Son of God, has been heard by many people, but this is the first time I have seen such a special statue...
"But then again, in any story about Arthur, he never had a title like 'The Four Knights of Shadow Moon'. Why is there such a title engraved on this statue?"
Dorothy thought so, and then looked at the base of the statue of Arthur. The words engraved with Arthur's name were in Old Orthodox with obvious traces of Imperial language. Dorothy could not understand it. The stone she saw came from Barrett's translation.
Dorothy continued to control the male servant's corpse and looked at the stone statue in front of her. Suddenly, she saw a notebook on the table next to the statue. After reading it, Dorothy thought it might be Barrett's notes.
Dorothy asked the butler to take the notebook and open it, but to her surprise, the notebook was empty. There was nothing inside except a few yellowed pages.
Dorothy asked the butler to pick up the pages of the notebook and look at them carefully. There was Putin written on the pages. After a closer look, Dorothy discovered that what was written on it was actually the legendary story of Arthur, and it was a different version of the story that Dorothy had heard before.
The page in Dorothy's hand at this time recorded the story of Arthur killing the most difficult enemy in his life, the bloodthirsty monster. In the story on this page, the monster had a name and was called Acheron.
The battle between Arthur and Acheron on the pages of the book is very different from the version Dorothy knows now. In the story on the pages of the book, Acheron is still a bloodthirsty monster. After its first fight with Arthur, it escaped for the bright red mist. Arthur was unable to catch up with Acheron and cause fatal damage to him due to the damage caused by frequent battles, so he was very anxious.
From here on, the story was no longer the one Dorothy knew before. According to the story Dorothy had heard, Arthur, under the guidance of the Son of God, caught up with Acheron and continued to fight with it. However, the Son of God did not appear in the story of this page, and instead, there was a witch, a witch with eight eyeballs squeezed in between her eyes, and a total of eight fingers, eight eyes and eight fingers.
The witch who appeared before Arthur claimed that her eyes could see what Acheron said, and that as long as Arthur ate the eyes, he would be able to see what Acheron said.
Then, the eight-eyed witch dug out one of her own eyes and gave it to Arthur, along with a dagger made from one of her own fingers. She claimed that this dagger could cause fatal harm to Acheron. Arthur believed her, so he ate the witch's eye and went to hunt down Acheron with the dagger she gave him.
Finally, Arthur found Agro and stabbed him with the witch's dagger. Agro fled again. The witch appeared in front of Arthur again and offered him another eyeball and another dagger. After Arthur swallowed the second eyeball, he chased Agro again with the dagger. This time, Agro was stabbed with the second dagger and fled again.
Then the same scene repeated itself. After Agel escaped eight times, he was stabbed with eight daggers and died. Arthur also died of poisoning after swallowing the eight eyeballs of the witch.
In the end, the blind witch fell into the sea of blood that flowed after Agel's death, and her body was bathed in blood.
