Finally, Dorothy, who had been thinking hard for a whole morning but had no results, gave up thinking temporarily and chose to finish the things at hand.
Dorothy first sent her own corpse doll to deliver the money for buying the secret book to the local Artisans Association, and then extracted spirituality from the two secret books she had just bought. Since the contents of these two secret books were very comprehensive, Dorothy obtained all kinds of spirituality when she extracted them.
First, in the secret teaching of the 㱗 God's Blessing Ceremony, Dorothy obtained 4 points of all spirituality and 6 points of "Initiation". In the secret teaching of the 㱗 Replacement Ceremony, Dorothy obtained 2 points of all spirituality and 4 points of "Initiation".
All in all, this is Dorothy's current spiritual condition.
11 cups, 16 stones, 50 shadows, 17 lights, 31 silence, 50 enlightenment.
Although it cost a huge sum of 2,100 pounds, Dorothy gained a lot spiritually and also got key information, so it was not a loss overall.
However, after spending so much money, Dorothy only had about 500 pounds in cash. After Edward's secret message came, she felt that she should be able to make up the "cup" to meet the promotion requirements. In this way, she only had "lamp" and "stone" that were not up to standard. The amount she lacked was estimated to be two or three secret books. Dorothy's 500 pounds could only buy about one book. She needed to find a way to get some more money.
However, compared with the difficulties in the temple, money is just a small matter. It can be raised with a little thought. Dorothy's top priority now is to find a temple that can be used for the replacement ceremony. This is the top priority.
Just like that, Dorothy began to rest in Adria while thinking about how to find the temple. Since she needed to wait for Edward's secret message here now, she couldn't go anywhere else.
On the afternoon of the first day after Dorothy learned about the blessing ceremony, when she was reading in the city library of Adelia, she suddenly felt a slight abnormality in the magic box. After careful perception, she found that her "Wenhai Navigation Diary" had a spiritual reaction, which meant that someone was using the sub-text of "Wenhai Navigation Diary" to contact her.
"Who could it be... to contact me at this time?"
With a hint of curiosity, Dorothy took out the "Wenhai Navigation Record" and unfolded it, turning to the page where the text appeared. After checking it, she was surprised to find that the person who contacted her was the eldest sister of the royal knight from the Put Security Bureau, Gregor's boss, and she wrote a sentence on it.
"If you can see, please come in and respond."
"Is this... the royal knight named Misha? She actually contacted me on her own initiative now? Did she find out something during her investigation of the Eight Points?"
Looking at the notes on the pages in front of her, Dorothy thought curiously that when she left Proctor, she gave all the research materials on Barrett that she had recorded to him as a detective, asking him to continue his research. Now she suddenly contacted him after half a day. Was there any progress in the research?
With this thought in mind, Dorothy picked up her pen and wrote a response in the "Wenhai Hangzhi".
"I've seen it, Ms. Misha. Please tell me whatever you want to say. Have you made any progress in your investigation of the Eight Points?" After writing, Dorothy began to wait quietly. Not long after, Misha's words appeared on the paper again.
"That's about right... After a long period of fruitless investigation, I finally got some clues recently. Since I may need your help later, I contacted you using the method you gave me before, Mr. Detective."
"Oh? Any progress? Tell me about it?"
Dorothy responded curiously, and Misha began to write about her recent investigation experiences.
"Ever since you gave me all the research materials on Duke Barrett, I have been spending time on it every day. Because I need to defend myself against poisons, my speed is not as good as expected. It took me four or five months to read through all the research materials. I really started my research only two months ago."
Misha wrote like this. Looking at her words, Dorothy couldn't help but sigh at the limitations of poison identification for ordinary extraordinary people. It took Misha, a royal knight who had mastered sufficient anti-poison identification methods, four or five months to read the information given by Dorothy.
"Although it was not easy for me to read all the information, I found it difficult to research something from it. Most of the information provided by Duke Barrett were folk stories and legends from different eras in Prussia, most of which were difficult to understand. I am not a knowledgeable scholar, and it was too difficult to research anything from them. Therefore, in the first month of my official research, I did not gain anything. It was not until the beginning of June that things started to take a turn for the better.
"When my family was looking through those materials, I suddenly found that there was a book called "Ewen County Customs and Geography" that was not identified as poison. I seemed to be familiar with it. It seemed that I had seen it somewhere. After a long time of careful recollection, I remembered that I read it in the library when I was young and studying at Guanda University. Since my hometown is Ewen County, I would occasionally go there to borrow some related books when I was in school. This book now appeared in the research materials of Duke Barrett, which proved that he had collected materials from Guanda Library and borrowed this book from there. After seeing this book, I had the idea of trying my luck at Guanda Library.
"You said before that these materials of yours were partially recorded by your informant from the materials that the Eighth Route wanted to destroy by taking photos. This means that the original book has been destroyed, so it is definitely not in the library of the Great Hall of the People now. So I went to the library of the Great Hall of the People and found the loan record of this book "A Study of the Customs of Ewing County" in the loan register there. As expected, it was borrowed in October last year and has not been returned. So the borrower should be the Duke of Barrett. The borrower in the loan record is registered as Richard, so I judged at the time that Richard should be the alias used by the Duke of Barrett when he borrowed the book from the Great Hall of the People.
"After that, I stayed in the archives of the Guanda Library for a few days, looking through Guanda's loan registers, looking for all of Richard's borrowing records. My idea at the time was to read all the books he had read to see if I could get any clues from them. However, when I was looking through these loan records, I found something very interesting.
"In Richard's borrowing records, there was a book that he had borrowed many times. The book was called "Putt's Agricultural and Food List". Out of curiosity, I went to the library and took out this unpopular book that almost no one had borrowed and took a look at it. As a result, I found something unexpected in it."
"What?" Looking at Misha's words, Dorothy's curiosity gradually arose. She couldn't help but write and ask, and the other party answered immediately.
"It was a note, written in a handwriting not from the Duke of Barrett, and it said... 'Richard, I have found the temple.'"
