Chapter 408: Message
"Thief K... Stop talking about Thief K, Miss Dorothy..." In the restaurant by the water, at the table by the window, Nephnis couldn't help but frown and continued after hearing Dorothy's understated words.
"How can you just steal things so easily? Can you not be so arrogant? It feels so uncomfortable to have everyone know about it every time..."
Nephnis's tone was filled with obvious anxiety. It was obvious that when she saw people around her talking about the rumors about Thief K and when she saw Thief K's fame starting to rise, she couldn't help but panic. She thought, as a thief, shouldn't it be the best to keep a low profile? He was being so high-profile... He looked like a robber!
"Indeed... For ordinary thieves, the more low-key and unknown they are, the better. But for Thief K, her fame is where she comes into play. Letting people know that something is going to be stolen is the role of the name Thief K. This was the case when she was on the Shining Pearl last time, and it is the same this time in Adria.
"Although Thief K's reputation has become more famous, Senior Neveu doesn't need to worry about getting into any trouble. As long as you don't make it public, no one will associate you, a frail female college student, with the legendary thief. Don't worry, I'm being sensible in all this."
Dorothy smiled and said, taking a sip of coffee with a relaxed look. Nephnesse didn't say anything more after listening to Dorothy's words. Although she was still a little afraid that the identity of Thief K might bring her danger and trouble, she couldn't help but relax a little when she thought about the dangers she had encountered before, but they were all solved by Dorothy.
Yes, Miss Dorothy, a senior Rosicrucian cadre and a senior Beyonder, didn't panic, so why should I panic? If even Dorothy started to panic, what's the point of panicking myself?
After figuring this out, Nephnis's nervousness couldn't help but ease a little. After going through so many things, when she looked at the calm demeanor of the girl in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.
'In reality, Thief K is not just me, but Miss Dorothy and I. She made the plan and I was responsible for executing it. If I don't trust myself, how can I not trust Miss Dorothy? Even if I am not capable enough, as long as Miss Dorothy is more than capable, everything will be fine.'
Nephnis thought so in her heart. She was panicked and worried at first because she felt that her water level combined with the reputation of Thief K would be dangerous. But now that she changed her mind, she was no longer worried about the problem of insufficient water level. She felt relieved and grabbed a piece of cake on the table and started to eat.
"By the way, you have been in Adria for a while now, how is your study tour here? Where are you going next?" Dorothy continued to ask while looking at Nefernis who was eating cake, and the other party answered directly.
"In the past few days, the professor has taken us to visit all the historical sites in Adria, visited many excavation sites, and attended many classes. I think we should go to other places soon, but there is no conclusion yet on where to go next. There seems to be some disagreement among the professors. Some think we should go inland to Peji, the capital of Igwe, to continue to learn more about Igwe culture, while others think we should continue to take a ship to other countries to learn more about the culture and history of other countries. This is why we have a wider range of topics to choose from when we write our papers in the future."
While eating the cake, Nevonis spoke to Dorothy. After listening to Nevonis' words, Dorothy took another sip of coffee and then continued speaking.
"If I remember correctly... your original plan was to go to Adria and then to North Uffizia, right? Why, did you change the plan?"
"This is just a plan to go, but there seems to be some trouble in Northern Ufica recently, and the political situation is a bit unstable. For safety reasons, several professors leading the team have some conflicting opinions on whether to go there or not. There is no final conclusion yet."
Nephnesse said this. Listening to her words, Dorothy thought about the recent news in the newspaper. It seemed that there was indeed news about the political turmoil in Northern Africa. Several countries controlled by the colonists from the main continent had riots of varying degrees, which seemed to be caused by ethnic and religious issues. It was indeed not a good choice to engage in academic research under the unstable political situation.
"Well... indeed, the safety issue needs to be considered first. Tell me after you have discussed a conclusion..." Dorothy said this, while she cut a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth, and then continued to ask Nefernis.
"By the way, have you finished reading those few books I gave you last time? How is your spiritual accumulation?"
"Oh, I've finished reading it! And I've asked A-Ka to clear my poison. Now I can feel that my main spirituality, 'Silence', has been fully accumulated, and my auxiliary spirituality, 'Cup', has been more than half full. It has completely met your requirements, Miss Dorothy."
After hearing what Dorothy said, Nephnesse immediately sat up straight and answered, like a student who was eager to answer the teacher's questions.
Dorothy nodded after hearing these words. Since she was the one who helped Nefernis identify poisons, she knew Nefernis's current spiritual condition. This question was just to bring up the next topic.
"Have you accumulated enough? That's great. Now if you want to be promoted to the rank of Master, all you need is the ceremony. Isn't your housekeeper going to give you the remaining notes?"
"You mean Uncle Nunot... well... maybe he still can't accept my progress. He always tells me to go slower and more steadily, so he has never given me the remaining notes..."
Nefernis continued to respond to Dorothy and said that he found the extraordinary spirit master promotion ceremony from his grandfather's notes, and now the lower half of the notes is still in the hands of their old butler Nunot. It seems that he thinks that the first half of the notes alone is enough for Nefernis to consume for a while, so to be on the safe side he still holds the second half of the notes in his hand.
"Ah...he hasn't agreed to give it to you yet. Didn't you tell him that you have been promoted to Black Soil and now all you need is the ritual of the mortal?"
"I did say that, but Uncle Nunot didn't seem happy that I became Black Soil. Instead, he seemed frightened. Later, he became more determined not to give me Grandpa's Notes right away. He seemed to say that I was moving a little too fast on my extraordinary journey, and kept telling me to slow down. It seemed like he was afraid that something might happen to me."
Spreading out her hands, Nefernis said to Dorothy with a hint of helplessness. Hearing Nefernis' words, Dorothy couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Neve's promotion speed is too fast, and her old housekeeper was scared... It's no wonder. Neve only became an apprentice from an ordinary person around October last year, and she was promoted from an apprentice to Heitu in two months. Any normal person would be scared by this speed. I remember that the old housekeeper was only an apprentice... He saw that his young lady was promoted too fast, and he was worried that something might go wrong..."
Dorothy thought to herself that as long as she could recite the book enough, her spiritual power would accumulate very quickly. No wonder most people in the esoteric world could not accept it. Nunot's idea of being safe was also reasonable, because in his opinion, Nefernis was moving too fast on the extraordinary path, and the esoteric society called Rosicrucian that Nefernis came into contact with was too unfamiliar to him. Without understanding Nefernis's practice method, it was reasonable for him to have such concerns.
After all, if a school’s educational management is quite opaque, parents will also be worried.
'It seems that if Neveu wants to get the remaining notes, she needs to communicate with Nunot. Neveu can reveal some information about the Rosicrucian to Nunot, and even tell him about Akka's existence.
"Well... as long as he believes that your daughter is safe in our club, whether it is training or occasional club activities, there is no risk, and the Rosicrucian is a harmless trinitarian association, then there should be no problem."
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and after she finished thinking, she continued to speak to Nefernis.
