Chapter 48: Sacred Objects
West of Adus, Dosa.
In the early morning at Dosa Railway Station, the diffused steam spread over the platform floor, and the huge steel behemoth was in place on the track. Under the strict vigilance of the Addus Revolutionary Army, the long steam train was being handled by busy people on and off, and while the supplies were being removed, soldiers from all over Addus also boarded the train and began their return journey.
On the platform next to the front of the train, a man named Ney was standing there, looking at Shadi, the leader of the revolutionary army who came to see him off in person, and spoke with a smile.
"Thank you for seeing us off, General. Our trip to Kanak is made possible thanks to your assistance and cooperation." Ney said to Shadi politely, and Shadi responded as well.
"We also want to thank your cult for its help. If it weren't for you, the situation in Canak wouldn't be solved so easily. I think we can go deeper into this kind of cooperation in the future. If your cult, Adus or even Northern Ukraine encounter any trouble, please contact us and we will do our best to help."
"Of course, we also highly value a potential partner like you, General Shadi. Well, it's almost time. Goodbye."
As Ney said goodbye to Shadi, he was about to board the train. When Ney just turned around, Shadi hesitated for a moment and then asked again.
"Mr. Ney, I have another question I want to ask you. Regarding the whereabouts of King Rahman's soul... Do you know anything?"
After listening to Shadi's words, Ney paused slightly, then turned around and looked at Shadi, who continued to smile.
"King Rahman is currently looking for a suitable spiritual place to heal the spiritual trauma he has suffered over the past few decades. After his injuries are healed, he will travel around the land of Adus to see what Adus is like now. By the way... he also asked me to tell you that he will always be watching over you."
After finishing speaking, Ney turned around and walked towards the train without looking back and got into the carriage. After Shadi heard Ney's words, he was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he put his hands behind his back and sighed slightly. A trace of anxiety as if sitting on pins and needles emerged in his eyes, and Setut in his body also laughed.
Finally, the doors of the steam train carriage closed, and a large amount of thick smoke spewed out from the chimney at the front of the train. The long locomotive started slowly with the sound of a long whistle, and drove away into the distance with its steel wheels turning.
…
After obtaining the Lamp of the Underworld, Dorothy bid farewell to Shadi and left Dosa with Nefernis on the revolutionary army's train. After reaching Damont, they changed trains and headed for Kankedal. After driving for several days, Dorothy finally arrived at one of the gateways to Northern Ukraine, the independent port of Free City.
After returning to Kankerdar, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief and immediately checked into a luxury hotel in the foreign residential area. She took a good bath and rested on the soft big bed for a night, eliminating the discomfort and fatigue accumulated from the long journey. Since the place she was traveling to this time was more remote than before, the living environment was much worse, which made Dorothy, who was used to never treating herself badly in material life, a little uncomfortable.
After resting in the hotel for a day, Dorothy went to the Artisan Guild base in Kankedal and bought the only two "stones" there to replenish her spirituality. She spent about 1,100 pounds in cash. The price was so expensive that Dorothy cursed inwardly for a long time.
After buying the secret book, Dorothy was left with only 200 pounds in cash, which made her feel a sense of crisis. Fortunately, some of Mazar's assets, such as stock dividends or land rent, just paid income, which supplemented Dorothy's property by 400 pounds, allowing Dorothy to return 600 pounds in cash, so that Dorothy did not have to worry about the daily expenses of traveling.
However, this time Dorothy began to pay more attention to her cash problem. After she returned, she used [Wenhai Hangzhi] to ask Beverly Mazar about the comprehensive inventory and valuation of her assets. The answer she got was that the inventory was still in progress. These assets were spread across many places in various countries, and it would take some time to go through them all.
Afterwards, Dorothy in the hotel began to read the two secret books she had bought in order to extract spirituality. The name of the first secret book was "The Tomb Stone", and the author was a treasure thief from Beiwu. The content of the secret book was about the exquisiteness of an extremely rare rock in the Beiwu Tomb, the Minghan Stone.
Dorothy read from the secret biography that the author of the secret biography said that in the long-term tomb-robbing activities of the Northern Wu, occasionally they would encounter a solid tomb built of a strange rock deep in the tomb. The solidity of this tomb was beyond steel, and it could not be dug or blown up. No matter how hard the treasure robbers tried, they could only leave a little mark on it. It was extremely difficult to open it with normal violent means. And this tomb was exactly the tomb where the tomb's body and coffin were placed, and it was the place with the most treasures. These treasure robbers who had finally entered the tomb looked at the treasures that were only separated by a wall in front of them, and they had no choice but to stamp their feet in anxiety.
The author of this secret story was one of the treasure robbers who had encountered this kind of tomb. He was the leader of a treasure robbery gang. During one of his tomb robberies, he encountered this kind of tomb built of dark and cold rocks, which made him miss a lot of treasures behind the wall. So the author, who didn't believe in evil, decided to study the structure of this rock in order to find a way to easily open it. After more than ten years of searching and searching in many places, the author finally learned the information about this kind of rock and some of the techniques used to open it.
In the secret biography, the author pointed out that this kind of rock is called the Dark Cold Stone, which is a special brick and stone that was mastered and made by the White Stonemason Association. It is said that the production process of this brick and stone is very complicated, and it is necessary to go to the Rock Realm of the Underworld to dig deep layer of laminated stone, and then send it to the Forging Steel Dome... or the Furnace Realm of the God of Forging for a smelting, and then send it to the Styx in the Netherworld to soak for at least ten days, and then scoop it up and smelt it for the second time on the spot, and then send it back to the living world after it is formed.
Since this kind of Nether Cold Stone is not only extremely strong, but also nourishes the soul and helps deep sleep, it is a good material for building spiritual fields and tombs for "Silent" extraordinary people. For several years, the White Stone Artisan Association has been doing business in selling Nether Cold Stone. Various "Silent" organizations of the Nether Coffin Association and royal families of many countries have come to the Artisan Association to purchase Nether Cold Stone for building spiritual fields and tombs. However, the price of good Nether Cold Stone is ridiculously expensive and is rising higher and higher. Not all kings are worthy of enjoying this kind of tomb after death, which also makes the Northern Crow treasure thieves breathe a sigh of relief, and they don't have to worry about encountering this kind of hard stuff that can't be chewed off in all tombs.
After reading this secret biography, Dorothy finally figured out where the stone she encountered in Rahman's Tomb came from. It was extremely hard and could also block extraordinary effects. It turned out that it was made by a group of profiteers from the Craftsmen's Guild to make a lot of money.
'I wonder why that stone is so special. It is so extraordinary after being forged... Just looking at the secret biography, it involves three realms and at least ten years. The cost is terrifyingly high. In order to protect the ritual site of the King Refining Ceremony, Rahman also went to great lengths. It's a pity... Such an expensive stone cannot be brought back. Otherwise, I don't know how much it would sell for. In addition, Baruk's group of prodigals are really bad. Not only did they bind the souls of our ancestors, but they also swept away all the treasures in the tomb, leaving nothing behind.
After reading the secret book, Dorothy thought so in her heart. At this time, she also realized a noteworthy point, which is the name of the inner world, the rock world and the furnace world. The furnace world is also called the forged steel dome, which seems to be the core of the order. This made Dorothy wonder if each different god has a different inner world as a territory? Does the dream world belong to the butterfly god or the moth god? Does the rock world belong to the stone prince? Then who does the nether world belong to? Hades or the great soul?
After thinking for a while, Dorothy turned her attention back to the secret teachings. After extraction, Dorothy obtained the spirituality of 4 "Stones", 1 "Silence" and 1 "Enlightenment" from this "Grave Stone".
Afterwards, Dorothy began to study another secret book, which was called "Gem Confidential", and the author was an unnamed "Stone" Extraordinary. He seemed to have extraordinary research on various gems in the world, and this book recorded part of the author's research results.
