Listening to Nefernis's words, Dorothy couldn't help but smile and replied that she was not surprised by Nunot's change of attitude, or rather, she had already expected it.
It turned out that Nunot was unwilling to give Davis' next notes to Nefernis because he was frightened by Nefer's promotion speed and was afraid that something would go wrong with her rapid promotion, so he didn't give her anything. This mentality is essentially a lack of trust in the Rosicrucian.
Nunot was worried about the rapid promotion method provided by Rosicrucian for his daughter, so he was unsure whether to fully support Kaneff to learn the secrets under the Rosicrucian system. But now that he was saved by Rosicrucian, his attitude has eased a lot, and the threat from the Undead Prince has become more urgent, so he naturally has no reason to go to Kaneff's progress.
"Preparing for the promotion to Chalk... um... I have only been a Black Earth for less than three months, and I have already started preparing for Chalk...
"Hey, Miss Dorothy, although I don't know much about the secret world, I wonder if my promotion speed is a bit too fast?" Nodding her chin, Nefernis said to Dorothy curiously with a hint of excitement in her expression. Dorothy responded speechlessly after seeing her like this.
"Faster? Fast? It's been three months since we started preparing for the promotion to the White Crescent. Some people are already White Crescent now. Don't relax, Senior Sister Neve."
"Hmm...I see. I understand."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephthy lowered her head slightly and said, looking at Nephthy's appearance, Dorothy took another sip of coffee, thinking that according to Nephthy's personality, as long as she feels that she is far superior to others and is awesome enough, she will definitely relax immediately, and will most likely return to her previous lazy state and study the scriptures diligently, so she still has to be given a little sense of tension.
After all, only appropriate tension can stimulate motivation for learning. Anyway, Neveu has no idea what the general situation of the secret world is like, so what she says is what it is. It is not a bad thing to let her think that the average level of the secret world is higher.
…
After drinking coffee with Nefernis, Dorothy returned to her hotel. In the next few days, she did not leave Adria, but continued to pay attention to the follow-up situation of Tivian.
After Nunot's injuries recovered initially, it was finally time for him to go back to Boyle's house. Because the previous case of Boyle's family had attracted considerable attention from the East City District police, Nunot's reappearance must also take into account the situation of the police and even the Security Bureau.
At this point, Dorothy asked Adele for help and asked her to use the corpse puppet props to manipulate two of the corpses of the treasure robbers, so that they could act as robbers again. After "tying" Nunot to the car, they wandered around the East City District at night and deliberately ran into the night patrol police.
Since many police officers in Dongcheng District had received instructions to pay attention to foreigners with North Ukrainian faces, the patrol officers stopped the car driven by the corpse doll for inspection, and then naturally found the "kidnapped" old housekeeper. After the two corpse doll kidnappers saw that the matter was exposed, they quickly fled and one of them was shot dead by the police.
Next, there is a scene where the kidnapped housekeeper sincerely thanks the police for their efforts in rescuing him. A robbery and kidnapping case with a significant impact was solved within just a few days. The police in charge of the area were also very happy. This was a great achievement.
Of course, the police in charge of this case have not forgotten the secret policeman who helped them solve the case with his super insight. It was he who accurately deduced the characteristics of the old suspect, allowing the patrolmen to recognize the person and successfully solve the case. Their sheriff had previously contacted the Security Bureau and confirmed that the secret policeman who helped them solve the case was named Gregor.
Pritt's secret police can forcibly intervene in the investigation by showing their identities after they believe that an ordinary case involves extraordinary things. Greg used this authority to intervene in the Boyle family case before.
Later, when Greg reported to the General Administration, he said that he was involved in the investigation because he passed by Boyle's house during his vacation and picked up the ashes of the suspected burnt talisman there. After Nunot came back, the Security Bureau also sent a small number of people to confirm the depth of the case's involvement in the secrets. In the end, they judged from Nunot's confession and the clues on the two bodies that although this group of robbers was involved in the secrets, it was not deep. Their means of crime should be to steal antiques from collectors and then sell them to merchants who specialize in collecting antiques and hunting for extraordinary items to obtain some extraordinary knowledge and talismans. The Security Bureau has caught such prisoners before.
In the eyes of the Security Bureau, this gang of robbers should have come to Pritt from abroad not long ago, and the Boyle family was the first collector to be targeted. In Nunot's confession, he said that he was supposed to be killed by these robbers, but he was quick-witted and said that he knew the location of more collections, so the robbers bypassed him and kidnapped him. He was rescued not long ago.
According to Nunot's confession, the Boyle family had nothing to do with the secrets, but their ancestors liked to collect antiques and were targeted by this group of people. The people of the Security Bureau naturally did not believe Nunot's words. They conducted extraordinary detection on the Boyle family and Nunot, but they did not find any extraordinary traces in the Boyle mansion. After Nunot was stripped of all his belongings and illuminated with a light, he was also confirmed by the Security Bureau as an ordinary person.
After testing, they were sure that the Boyle family had no connection with the Extraordinary, but they were just targeted by a group of robbers who wanted to find Extraordinary items from ordinary antiques.
The secret hidden in Boyle's mansion was carefully designed by Davis. Atif, a Cretaceous-level treasure thief with a lot of experience, couldn't find it, and the few top black soil dispatchers of the Security Bureau naturally couldn't find it either. As for Nunot, Dorothy helped him to avoid the illumination of the Light of Vision. Nunot drew the puppet mark under his tongue beforehand, and then Dorothy used the spiritual thread to transmit the effect of the Ring of Concealment to Nunot, so that he was not exposed by the Light of Vision without carrying any items.
After the Boyle robbery case was determined, the Boyle family was not suspected too much, and Greg was rewarded by the police for his meritorious service in solving the case and exposing a criminal group that had a slight connection with Feifan and came to Tivian. Greg was definitely happy to accept this credit, but what made him happier than the credit was the war gifts from Adele.
After defeating Atif, most of the loot except the soul-hiding bone fragment was given to Gregor, including a small amount of "stone", "lamp" and "shadow" storage. A small number of talismans such as exorcism, sealing spirit, listening to the ground, trapping the ground, and shadow. Some strange treasure-stealing tools. A few bottles of highly toxic poison. A few hundred pounds in cash.
Among this series of war items, the one that Gregor was most interested in and the most sophisticated one was Atif's hidden arrow mechanism. After carefully studying the small long box mechanism that could be equipped on the underside of the arm and covered by the sleeve, he discovered that this thing could actually be transformed.
This mechanical box is some kind of extraordinary item. Although it looks very small, the things stuffed inside are unexpectedly large. It seems that it uses a manufacturing process similar to that of a magic box.
This box can not only store and shoot many hidden arrows, but also eject a hidden sword more than an inch long, which can be used for close combat. In addition to the hidden sword and hidden arrows, it even has a catapult hook that can hook objects to facilitate climbing. This is a multifunctional box.
