Chapter 584 Conspiracy
Sitting in her hotel suite, Dorothy sat in a comfortable chair, staring at the secret contents in the distant corpse vision. After reading "Rachel's Tragedy", a secret book that recorded the unknown but extremely grand and important battles during the Turbidity War, she began to concentrate on extracting the spirituality from it. After a while, she obtained 8 points of "cup" from it, which can be said to be very generous.
After reading the first two parts of the secret biography from Edward, Dorothy immediately controlled her corpse puppet to start reading the last secret biography sent by Edward, which was called "City of Darkness".
This secret book is also a book of legends that organizes and analyzes legendary stories. Like some secret books Dorothy had seen before, the author of this secret book also conducted research on a certain type of legend about conquering the sea. The target of the research is a deep-sea city called "Aiyam".
According to the description of the author, Aiyam is a huge city standing under the sea of Conqueror Sea, in the dark and deep sea. The legend about it is spread among the fishermen in the Conqueror Sea area and the natives on the Conqueror Island. In some travels, there are countless terrible and terrifying half-fish, half-human monsters living there. They are all male and will snatch fish from fishermen, hunt animals and humans on the beach, and even force creatures on the shore to mate with them and give birth to their offspring.
According to some other legends, the situation in Aiyam is completely different. In these legends, the people living in this deep-sea city are not terrible fish-men monsters, but beautiful mermaids. There are both men and women, the women are beautiful and elegant, and the men are strong and handsome. Together they have created a prosperous underwater civilization. It is rumored that these mermaids will take the initiative to help ships and people in distress at sea, and use singing to guide lost people.
The secret book points out that no matter how contradictory these seemingly different legends are, although it is difficult to be sure, the existence of the city of Aiyam can almost be said to be certain. However, although the city may exist, the fish monsters or mermaids living in it may be fake. The basis for this is that in the previous era, the non-human intelligent races and extraordinary creatures in the world were almost extinct. The records of non-human races establishing their own civilization need to be traced back to the extremely distant first era, and they were all marginal civilizations. He does not believe that there will be non-human civilizations in the current fourth era.
However, he also speculated that Aiyam should have been established by non-human races in ancient times, because he found that the pronunciation of the city's name had not evolved much and was a relatively primitive version, which was very incompatible with human pronunciation habits.
Therefore, the author of this secret legend speculated that the legends about fish monsters or mermaids were most likely the work of the Abyss Cult. He speculated that the Abyss Cult might have found a way to control this deep-sea city, and even their headquarters might be located here. As for what they got from Aiyam or what they were studying, it was unknown.
'The Deep Sea City of Aiyam... Is it a city built by an ancient non-human civilization? Indeed... The pronunciation of the city's name is a little similar to the Abyssal language... If there really is such a city in the sea in this world, then only the Abyssal Church can control it... It may really be the headquarters of the Abyssal.
'In addition, there is another point worth noting in this secret book. It mentions the civilizations established by non-human intelligent races... but these civilizations were only recorded in the first century, which means... the first century is likely to be an era in which humans and other non-human intelligent races coexisted? But why did these non-human civilizations become extinct one after another?'
Looking at the new secret contents in the puppet's hand, Dorothy thought to herself, she still remembered that when she was in Igwynte, she bought the secret book "Dream Explorations" from Aldridge, in which she saw descriptions of harpies and the abyss race. In the following extraordinary journey, she wondered why she had not come into contact with these fantastic creatures. Now she knew that they had become extinct in such a distant ancient time.
After finishing the last secret book, Dorothy began to extract spirituality as usual. In this secret book, she obtained 5 points of "Cup" and 3 points of "Light".
Taking all the previous accumulation into account, Dorothy’s current spiritual situation is as follows.
28 cups, 16 stones, 50 shadows, 22 lights, 31 silence, 50 enlightenment.
'This 'cup' suddenly increased by 17 points, and it reached the standard in an instant. The secret teachings given by Edward are quite powerful. Now the only unqualified ones are 'stone' and 'lamp'. After I get to Tivian, I will think of some way to make up for it.
'Another point worth noting is that after we are promoted, the spiritual power above the promotion will also be consumed. If there is a crisis after the promotion, it will be embarrassing if the spiritual power is not enough. So if possible, those main spiritual powers that meet the requirements can also be accumulated as a precaution.'
㱗After reading the secret book, Dorothy thought so in her heart, then she took another sip of coffee, stood up from her seat, stretched her body, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, stared for a while and murmured.
"Well, now is the time to go..."
…
Tivian, on the east coast of the Kingdom of Prit.
In the daytime, on the Silver Road in the eastern part of Tivian, there were crowds of people and carriages passing by. In the faint smoke, a young man in a shirt and vest, looking very energetic, was walking on the sidewalk, scanning the scenery on the street as he walked.
Gregor strolled leisurely on the street while chewing a piece of candy. Recently, he would find an opportunity to come here on almost every weekend to buy or sell things, or just to relax. He did this almost every week as he had not been to work for a long time.
Holding a fishing guide he had just bought from a roadside bookstall, Gregor continued to look for anything he liked on the street. He couldn't help but stop at the door of a children's clothing store and cast his eyes on the beautiful dresses displayed in the window, wondering whether he should buy one and give it to his sister as a birthday present when she comes. But when he thought that Dorothy seemed to be fourteen years old this year, and he didn't know if she could wear these things, Gregor hesitated for a moment.
"Hiss... I feel like I can't just buy it straight away. If it's too small, it'll be troublesome. I have to wait for Dorothy to come and take her to the street to try it out and buy it. But the question is, when will Dorothy come?"
Looking at the children's clothes in the window, Gregor thought to himself that his sister had been studying abroad for more than half a year, and there was no sign of her coming back yet. If he hadn't often received telegrams from her to report her safety, he would have been extremely anxious.
'I hope you can come sooner...'
Gregor thought so in his heart, then he stopped staring at the window and continued walking along the street. After passing another intersection, he turned into a road with fewer people, and then continued to walk slowly forward. At this time, he was silently focusing his eyes on the other side of the road, quietly staring at the conditions of the shops on the roadside.
As we walked, Gregor's gaze slightly focused, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly darkened. He silently stopped, turned his body to the opposite side, and locked his eyes on a shop, which was a department store that seemed to have just opened not long ago.
