Chapter 415: Metamorphosis
Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.
In Navaha late at night, people returned to their homes one after another. Most of the streets had fallen into silence. Another quiet night was about to come.
In a high-end hotel somewhere in Navaha, Dorothy sat in front of the desk in her room, looking at the "Naval Voyage Log" in front of her with a serious expression. At this time, the page that Dorothy opened was almost full of handwriting. Dorothy was very familiar with this handwriting, which belonged to her brother Greg.
Not long ago, Dorothy contacted Gregor through the "Sea Voyage Log" and asked him to help ask the little fox about the various abnormal signs of Pan Moth and Navaha. But just now, Gregor finally gave her a reply. After Dorothy read the information carefully, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Butterflies and moths... I didn't expect that the guys who were causing trouble in Navaha were members of the Black Dream Hunters. The moth god they believe in... and the butterfly god who is in opposition to the moth god. This time I really got a lot of valuable information..."
Looking at Gregor's handwriting on the page in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help muttering to herself, this time the amount of information she got from the little fox was beyond her expectations. Since the Black Dream Hunters were hostile to the little foxes, she had no worries and told Dorothy a lot of information about the Black Dream Hunters without asking for any price, which made Dorothy overjoyed for a moment.
'Now it seems... the little fox is a believer of the so-called Butterfly God. Judging from the titles of 'Dream Knight' and 'Messenger of the Moon' possessed by the Butterfly God, he should be the Dream Knight, one of the Four Knights of Moon Shadow. Like the Wind Knight Arthur, he is a subordinate god under the Mirror Moon Goddess.
'In the fairy tale about the Lady of the Lake that Dorothy had heard when she was a child, the Lady of the Lake also used fairies as messengers. This butterfly god is also called the Fairy Queen, which corresponds to the fairies in the fairy tale. So this butterfly god should be a god from the Mirror Moon Goddess of the Third Epoch. I just don't know why there is suddenly a moth that opposes Him now.
'According to the Black Dream Hunters, the moth is the further metamorphosis of the butterfly, and the Moth God is the existence of the Butterfly God after changing its form. However, the little fox does not agree with this statement and calls the Moth God the God of Falsehood. I have no idea what the Moth God is really like.'
Looking at the description of the Butterfly God in the "Navigation of the Sea", Dorothy thought to herself that she already knew about three of the four Moon Shadow Knights. The Wind Knight Arthur was the national hero and founding king of Pritt, but now he was suspected to have fallen and his throne was vacant. The Blood Knight had an unclear relationship with the monster Agel and the Spider Queen. No matter what happened between the three, the one sitting on the Blood Dark throne was the eight-pointed Spider Queen. The Dream Knight was definitely the Butterfly God, but now he seemed to be caught in a dispute with the Moth God. The situation was not clear, and it was not clear what the relationship between him and the Moth God was.
Among all the "Shadow" gods now, the ones Dorothy has the least information about are the Spirit Knight and the Mirror Moon Goddess, who is the God of Shadow. Among them, the status of the Mirror Moon Goddess is the most important. No one knows what happened to her that caused such a major change in her own line of gods.
After thinking about the information about the Butterfly Goddess, Dorothy shifted her attention to more realistic intelligence, that is, the information about the so-called "false moth" in the "Navigation Notes".
"The false moth... This is an extraordinary creature cultivated by the Black Dream Hunters who prayed for the power of the moth. It is between reality and the dream world and needs to absorb nutrients from the dream cocoons of mortals to grow. Now it seems that the source of the abnormal influence in the entire Navaha is this thing.
'In order to provide nutrients for the growth of the pseudo-moth, the Black Dream Hunters use beautiful dreams as bait and secretly spread the moth-believing cult. The dream cocoons of moth believers will be captured. If the dream cocoons are absorbed for a long time, the body will collapse and become like the patients in the mental hospital. This should be the essence of sleep degeneration.
'According to Little Fox, the way these guys in the Black Dream Hunters obtain extraordinary abilities is different from that of the Secret World of the Flow. They obtain extraordinary powers from the Pseudo-Moth. The higher the growth rate of the Pseudo-Moth, the stronger the ability they can obtain. This alternative way of obtaining extraordinary abilities may be the reason why the Black Dream Hunters, although they have the ability of the Dream Eater Path, cannot normally call on the Inspiration spirituality. In the promotion system of the Flow, a group of them are at most apprentices of the Shadow, and they do not have extra Inspiration spirituality to divine.
'They directly obtained their abilities from the Pseudo-Moth, not their spirituality. The Pseudo-Moth's own spirituality is not that easy to use. In essence, they are not normal Beyonders who assist in 'inspiration'.'
Dorothy thought so, and the information from the little fox solved her puzzlement as to why a bunch of "enlightened" extraordinary people gathered together but did not change the structure of the secret world, because these guys were not normal extraordinary people at all.
"I don't know how far this pseudo-moth in Navaha has grown. According to the results of the investigation in the past few days, sleep deprivation has lasted for more than ten years in this city. I don't know how many patients have been affected over the years. There are currently three or four hundred patients in the city. The victims over the past ten years must be at least several thousand..."
Frowning, Dorothy thought seriously in her heart that the total population of Navaha is about 150,000, and the cumulative number of victims of sleeping sickness in the past decade or so is several thousand. This ratio is already exaggerated. If the Black Dream Hunters had not had a high degree of infiltration into Navaha, or if the Moth Cult had not had a strong control over the dreams, this ratio of mental illness prevalence would definitely not be concealed.
Since this Navaha moth has devoured the dream cocoons of thousands of people, its growth rate cannot be low. It is very likely that it has reached the pseudopupa stage.
Thinking about the current situation in Navaha, Dorothy's expression became more serious. Turning the dreams of thousands of people into food to feed the extraordinary creatures, the methods of this Black Dream Hunting Group are even more powerful than those of the Afterbirth Knot and the Eight-Pointed Nest.
After analyzing all the intelligence, Dorothy hid the words on the "Navy Navigation Notes" and closed it. Then she closed her eyes slightly and began to extract the information on drug identification from the intelligence, and finally obtained 3 points of "Shadow" and 2 points of "Inspiration" spirituality.
After obtaining this information from the little fox, Dorothy had a general grasp of the situation in Navaha. Facing such a powerful and extraordinary creature as the Pseudo-Moth, she had no intention of backing down. Instead, she became more determined to eradicate the Black Dream Hunter Group from Pseudo-Navaha.
"Black Dream has been operating this base in Navaha for more than ten years. It must have a lot of background in the past, and it has harmed many people. Regardless of public or private reasons, I need to get rid of it. Now that the church has its power here, this is a good opportunity for me. I need to take advantage of this opportunity to find the fake moth."
Dorothy thought so, and then she planned to start working overnight to find the base of Black Dream and the location of the fake moth. If it weren't for the people from the church here, she would not easily provoke these guys. But now that she had this helper by her side, she might as well make use of it.
Taking advantage of the night, Dorothy controlled her small corpse doll to fly out in the dark, spreading out again to every corner of Navaha, sneaking into every corner of the small town in the dark, and began to monitor all kinds of people.
These people were the key targets of observation that Dorothy had spent time selecting. Among them were families of devout Panic believers, the director of a mental hospital, and the mayor and senior executives of the Navaha City Hall. These people were all people who might have secret contact with the Black Dream Hunters. As long as Dorothy kept a close eye on them, she would have no problem catching the Black Dream Hunters.
It was now late at night, which was very conducive to the activities of "shadow" groups like the Black Dream Hunters. Therefore, it was also a good time for Dorothy to conduct this kind of all-round surveillance. As long as she could catch the tail of the Black Dream Hunters that night, then their specific information would be sent to the church fleet at the port tomorrow with very normal and reasonable reasons.
"Although there are people from the church here, they may not be familiar with the situation in the dream world. If they can't deal with this group of guys, it will be troublesome, so I have to prepare some backup plans."
While the surveillance was in progress, Dorothy continued to think in her mind, and then some other ideas came to her mind, so she controlled the small corpse puppets in the believers' homes to start a careful search. The target of the search was mainly Pantheon's scriptures and the like. Dorothy carefully looked through these scriptures, and at the same time let the small corpse puppets carefully observe how these believers usually worship Pantheon.
