Chapter 44: The Knower
After Dorothy confirmed her prayer point, the dialog box-like thing suddenly disappeared, and then the surrounding environment suddenly showed some unusual movements.
Suddenly, a small whirlwind blew up out of nowhere in the originally peaceful and quiet house. The flickering candles were blown out in an instant, the lingering smoke was blown away, and the outer circle of the magic circle drawn by the ashes was blown into a regular spreading spiral shape. The cloak worn by Dorothy also rustled for a moment, but the "Qi" symbol drawn in the center of the magic circle did not change at all.
The wind that rose from the ground lasted for a moment and then stopped immediately. When the wind stopped, the candles were extinguished, the incense was not burning, and the magic circle drawn by the ashes was also blown away. The kneeling Dorothy slowly stood up in the magic circle. At this moment, her eyes were clear and her mind was in a state of mind.
"Is this the Beyonder?"
Looking at her hands, Dorothy murmured that she could clearly feel the changes that had taken place in herself.
Dorothy now feels that her mind is clearer than ever before. She can focus and diverge easily. Her mental strength has been greatly improved. She feels refreshed and her mind has never been so clear.
"This is the Apprentice-level Beyonder of the Path of 'Initiation', named 'The Master'... Compared to the 'Cup' that strengthens my vitality and body, 'Initiation' strengthens my spiritual power and thinking power..."
After the promotion was completed, Dorothy knew the name of her current rank and its corresponding abilities as if she had received revelation.
"Now, let's experiment a little bit..."
Dorothy smiled and said to herself that she had just been promoted to an extraordinary person and she wanted to verify her own extraordinaryness. However, when she put on her hood and walked out of the room with a handsome smile, she suddenly thought of something and looked back at the remaining ceremony scene behind her. Then she ran back dejectedly, took out the small broom and shovel she had bought from her bag and started cleaning.
After working for a long time to clean up all the traces of the ceremony, Dorothy wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help complaining in her heart.
"Huh... The first thing to do after becoming a Beyonder is physical work... This damn 'Master' doesn't require any physical effort at all..."
After cleaning up the ceremony site, Dorothy quickly left the grove and walked a kilometer to the fishing spot by the river. Tired and out of breath, she finally got on a carriage and returned to the city of Igwynte.
Through the window of the carriage, Dorothy looked at the people coming and going on the roadside and the dazzling billboards. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a bookstore. After getting off the carriage, Dorothy walked straight into the bookstore, picked up a thick tap dance tutorial, and found a quiet and empty seat to sit for a while.
Dorothy was sitting quietly reading a book, concentrating on nature. She was no different from other people who came to the bookstore to read books, except...she turned the pages very quickly.
Dorothy glanced at a page of book filled with words for seven or eight times and then immediately turned the page. She kept turning the pages at almost the same speed. At first glance, it looked like she was just flipping through the book casually...but in fact, she had read all the contents of each page. This was one of the extraordinary abilities she had acquired.
"The Knower" possesses thinking and mental powers that surpass those of ordinary people. This can bring about powerful learning abilities. When reading, they can read everything at a glance, can greatly shorten the learning time, and can easily understand the contents of the book.
In just half an hour, Dorothy finished reading the entire collection of poems. Then she closed her eyes and recalled the contents of the book, memorizing almost every word for it. What's more, she also recalled the merchants and billboards she saw on the roadside in the carriage when she came here. She can still remember the contents on the billboards and the appearance of the merchants, even their every movement and expression. Every strand of hair on the puppy and every wrinkle on the old man's face are right in front of her, as if it were an ultra-clear image that she can call up and watch in her mind at any time.
This is the powerful short-term memory brought by "Know-It-All". Basically, Dorothy can remember everything she sees and hears within half a day in detail. After the memory time limit, those overly detailed memories brought by this ability will gradually be forgotten with the passage of time, but it is also possible to strengthen the memory of a certain period of time and preserve it for a long time.
"I feel like this is a skill that only top students have..."
Dorothy murmured, then put the book in her hand back on the bookshelf. Then she slowly walked out of the bookstore and took a carriage to the dock area.
Arriving at the bustling dock area, Dorothy put on her hood in the car, and then drove all the way in the fishy air to a warehouse. After stopping in front of the cubicle she rented, Dorothy opened the door with the key.
After entering and closing the door, Dorothy set her eyes on several long boxes placed in the center. Then she used the key to open one of them and activated the corpse ring on her hand.
Then a familiar figure opened the lid of the long "coffin" and stood up from it. It was Edek who had not been seen for a long time.
After getting rid of the people from the communion party by jumping into the river that day, Dorothy controlled Edwin to swim to the bottom of the river and hook the abandoned machinery deposited on the riverbed with a pre-prepared hook to prevent it from floating up. Then Dorothy came back the next night under the cover of darkness to operate the recovery. During the recovery, she specially controlled Edwin to crawl along the riverbed to the upper reaches of the river and land on a secluded and deserted mudflat.
The reason why Edrick was saved was that at that time, this was the only corpse Dorothy could control. If it was gone, it might be inconvenient to do some actions. Now Dorothy came here to control him in order to do an experiment.
Looking at the pale, dull and silent Edwin in front of her, Dorothy raised her finger, and with a thought, she injected 1 point of "enlightenment" spirituality into the corpse doll ring.
Then, Dorothy felt that the connection between her thoughts and the corpse ring became closer, and the spiritual line connecting to Edek instantly became much thicker.
Then, Dorothy had an idea, and Edwin, who was a corpse, immediately started to move and tap dance on the spot. This was exactly what Dorothy had just read in the book.
In the silent and dim space, Edwin was dancing. His footsteps moved with his body and the sound of his leather shoes kept echoing in the space. His movements were natural and he didn't look like a dead body at all. He looked like a real person.
Then, Dorothy waved her hand, and Edwin began to change to other moves. He first did a set of radio gymnastics that the times were calling for, then performed a front flip and a back flip, scratched his ears and pretended to be the Monkey King, his facial expressions were all in place, and finally he did a Thomas spin with his hands on the ground, each move was more difficult than the last.
Finally, Dorothy asked Edwin to stand upright in front of her and then spoke softly.
"Hello, Mr. Grundy."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Edwin smiled slightly, knelt down on one knee towards Dorothy naturally, and spoke with his hand covering his chest.
"At your service, Miss Meshhaus."
