Chapter 736 Secret (2/2)



In the legend, it is also recorded that this Yishi Society actually has its own deity. This deity is called "Earth Bone Dragon King", the god of engraving and fossils.

In the records of the Memory Stone Society, the Earth Bone Dragon King is called the God born from death and the God born from the dead. Legend has it that he was born from the dead bodies of powerful ancient creatures and dragons from the First Age, and has an extremely large body of a skeleton dragon. In the legends of the Memory Stone Society, he is also known as the "Guardian of the Earth Veins", "Recorder of the Strata", "The Ancient One", "King of Fossils", etc.

'Fossil dragon... Earth Bone Dragon King... This is another god. Listening to the description in the legend, it feels like a 'stone' and 'silent' god. The god on this throne is in this form, a huge fossil bone dragon, the god of the dead that records the strata.

'If the Earth Bone Dragon King is the god of Stone Silence, then the Memory Stone Society that worships him should be the corresponding association? This is completely different from the style of the current Stone Silence bone makers. They seem to prefer mining fossils and using the power of fossils, while the bone makers prefer killing people to take bones and create human bone magic... I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in this. Does the Memory Stone Society still exist? I don't know if the Earth Bone Dragon King has fallen. If not... what is his current state?'

Looking at the contents of the biography in front of her, Dorothy thought about it in her heart. After thinking for a while, she put away the biography in front of her and started reading the next biography.

The second biography that Dorothy thought was more interesting was called "The Oath of the Little Gold Coin", which is a fable with fairy tale elements.

The protagonist of this fable is called Little Gold Coin. He is a poor child abandoned by his parents. The only thing his parents left him was a gold coin, so he was called Little Gold Coin. Although Little Gold Coin was very poor, he had great ambitions. He was determined to be the best businessman. He used his only gold coin as capital and started to do business.

The small gold coin has an advantage, that is, he will keep his promise and will not break any of his oaths and agreements. Therefore, in the process of doing business, he gradually accumulated a good reputation. Relying on this reputation, he gradually became a big businessman. The small gold coin in the past slowly turned into many gold coins.

When Little Gold Coin was about to become a big businessman, he accidentally witnessed an evil corpse thief digging up corpses in the town's cemetery. The righteous Little Gold Coin was very angry after seeing this scene, and immediately stepped forward to stop and successfully captured the corpse thief. When he was about to take off the corpse thief's mask, he found that the opponent was actually a friend of his long ago.

This corpse thief friend had helped Xiao Jinbi a long time ago, so Xiao Jinbi had made a promise to this friend a long time ago, that is, he would definitely help him once in the future. So when the corpse thief was caught by Xiao Jinbi, he begged Xiao Jinbi to let him go, which was considered to be the fulfillment of the oath he made that year.

Faced with the corpse thief's request, Xiao Jinbi was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want to break his original oath, and on the other hand, he didn't want to let go of the evil path of breaking the law. Xiao Jinbi had a hard time choosing between his oath and justice, but in the end, he chose justice and handed the corpse thief over to the town guards, who let him be hanged by the angry citizens.

Although catching the corpse thief brought Xiao Jinbi great prestige and made him more popular in the city, Xiao Jinbi's mentality had changed at this moment. He broke his oath for the first time, and if there was a first time, there would be a second time and a third time.

At the beginning, Xiao Jinbi would break his oath for justice, but gradually, he lost his reverence for his oath and began to break it for various reasons. In the end, in the face of business interests, he felt that his oath became insignificant. Within a dozen years, Xiao Jinbi eventually degenerated from a big businessman who abided by his oath to a big evil businessman who would do anything for profit, forcing countless families to be broken up.

Finally, after forcing a former benefactor to death, Xiao Jinbi suddenly came to his senses. He felt extremely guilty and sad about what he had done in the past, and chose to end his life. At the last moment of his life, Xiao Jinbi was ready to entrust his huge property to another former friend, a craftsman, who came in to keep it until the craftsman selected a qualified heir to inherit his property.

However, Xiao Jinbi, as the assistant of the big evil merchant, did not agree with Xiao Jinbi's behavior. He directly controlled most of Xiao Jinbi's property through various bad means and took it for himself. At the same time, he refused the interference of the craftsman. The craftsman also tried various ways to take back most of the property in the hands of the assistant and fulfill Xiao Jinbi's last wish...

Dorothy sat at her desk, looking at the last page of the thin fable book, which came to an abrupt end. She could have written but did not continue the story, and she could not help but fall into deep thought.

'This so-called fable seems to have some hidden meaning...' Dorothy thought to herself as she looked at the fable on the table. Generally speaking, the fables and fairy tales she read in the literature would always have some hidden metaphors in them, and this one was roughly the same. Now Dorothy had already deduced many guesses from it.

Then, Dorothy tried to extract the spirituality of a fable. In addition to "Inspiration", she also obtained three other spiritualities, namely "Stone", "Shadow" and "Silence", among which "Stone" had the most spirituality.

"Heh... this ton of information Beverly gave me... is really..."

After letting out a sigh of relief and sighing slightly, Dorothy closed the tracts in front of her. After finishing reading the interesting tracts about "Stone", she began to read the interesting tracts about "Film".

The next biography Dorothy read was called "The Secret History of the Howling Lance". It was a book that recorded some secret historical events of the Howling Lance Dynasty before the Hyacinth Dynasty of Priit. This was the orthodox dynasty of Priit before the Rebellion of the Wind King.

Dorothy, who wanted to deeply understand the past history of Pritt, could not help but be inspired after reading the contents of Howling Gun Dynasty. Then she began to read it carefully. Unfortunately, although this so-called Secret History of Howling Gun was a history book, there were very few truly valuable historical contents recorded in it. Not only was there little historical content, but there was almost no content on mysticism. This history book was obviously a book of unofficial history, and its contents were mainly various palace secrets, and the types of secrets were mostly focused on the various romantic affairs of the concubines and princes in the palace. It was simply a book of unofficial history and gossip.

Dorothy was not actually very interested in this kind of biography, but after patiently reading it carefully, she still found some valuable information.

For example, according to this secret history book, the royal family of the Howling Spear Dynasty generally inherited a strange "madness". Among many princes of the Howling Spear Dynasty, relatives and nobles, and even among successive kings, "madness" is a strange genetic disease that occurs from time to time. People who suffer from this madness will behave strangely, crazily, and uncontrollably.

According to the records in this biography, the family history of the Howling Spear Dynasty was becoming more and more frequent. At the beginning, there were not many royal family members with this disease, but with the passage of time and the iteration of royal family members, more and more people suffered from this disease, and the condition became more and more serious. Because people with this madness often unconsciously shouted words like "Call the storm! Welcome back the ancestors! Our King of the Wind God!", this kind of madness was also called "Ancestor Howl" by people at that time.

'Ancestors' howl? It turns out that the madness suffered by the last king of the Howling Spear Dynasty, the Mad King Volsiof, is not an isolated case, but a family disease... According to this biography, many members of the Howling Spear Dynasty have a history of madness, and it becomes more and more serious towards the end of the dynasty. Volsiof is just one of the most serious ones. And his several sons also have more or less symptoms of this madness.

'It feels like... this kind of madness isn't simple. Normal madness should have different symptoms for each patient, but different members of the Roaring Gun Dynasty family have different symptoms, all calling for the return of their ancestors...

"In this country, anyone with the last name Despenser, I remember, would honor Arthur the Wind Knight as their ancestor..."

Looking at the secret history biography in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart. After many thoughts flashed through her mind, she put away the biography in front of her, opened the last biography that she thought was interesting and began to read.

The name of this next biography is "Analysis of the Moon Shadow Queen", which is a record of the analysis of another biography.

The author of this biography interpreted another biography titled "Ms. Secret" in his work, and wrote numerous conclusions and thoughts of his own.

First of all, the so-called "Moon Shadow Queen" is a form summed up by the author of the biography. The author is a mysterious scholar hundreds of years ago. She is very interested in the mystery of "shadow". She traveled all over the continent and investigated places with abundant "shadow" relics such as Plit, Castilla, and Osotus, and investigated the legends circulated in the secret world and folklore. In the folklore legends of these three places, she found three different but very common forms of folklore legends.

These are the "Lady of the Lake" of Pritt, the "Fairy Godmother" of Castile, and the "Mysterious Lady" of Ossot.

There are three different types of folklore in these three regions. In Plitvice, the Fairy of the Lake is often the guide of heroes. In Castile, the Fairy Godmother is often the disciplinarian of mischievous fairies and the protector of girls. In Osotros, the Lady of Secrets is the protector and keeper of secrets. The author summarizes these three types of folklore and legends, and they are all considered to be related to moonlight and the moon, so the author calls her the Moon Shadow Queen.

Dorothy certainly knew that the three figures mentioned by the author in this biography were all the Queen of the Night Sky and the Mirror Moon Goddess. Of the three figures listed by this author, Dorothy was already very familiar with the Lady of the Lake, and was not particularly interested in the Fairy Godmother. What caught her attention was the story about the Secret Lady.

In various legends and fairy tales of Osot, the character of Ms. Secret often appears. The most classic story plot is that a frustrated man meets Ms. Secret when he is down and out. Ms. Secret asks the man to keep a secret as a price in exchange for wealth, status and other things. However, in subsequent stories, the man often cannot resist the temptation and tells the secret, thus losing everything.

For example, there was a shepherd boy who once obtained a large and excellent pasture because he met a secret lady. He raised many high-quality cattle and sheep on the pasture and gained wealth. However, in the end, because the shepherd boy wanted to find more people to help him manage the pasture and expand the scale of breeding, he leaked the secret of the existence of the ranch and finally lost the ranch.

This routine template, with various different stories, is widely circulated in the land of Osot, making the image of Lady Mystery deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the legend of Osot, Lady Mystery lives in the Palace of Mystery. As long as the keeper chosen by Lady Mystery does not tell, then no one will ever know where the palace is.

After summarizing these stories, the author of this biography put forward a very interesting point of view, that is, the Queen of the Night Sky possesses the power of "secrets".

The author believes that the Queen of the Night Sky is not only the Moon Queen, the King of Shadows, the incarnation of the unknown and fear, but also the Lady of Secrets. She can gain power from secrets, and she can provide power to the keeper of secrets. Or she can seal or even completely hide the existence of a thing by keeping secrets.

"Secrets... Could this be one of the powers of the Mirror Moon God? It feels a bit like a mantra that keeps secrets. As long as you keep the secrets... you can gain power from the secrets, and the secrets that are kept will not appear in the world...

"I wonder if the mysterious Kingdom of Night is also shrouded in this mysterious power..."

Dorothy thought so in her heart. Through this biography, she understood Jingyue a little better.

After reading all the ton biography, Dorothy did not stop and immediately began to extract spirituality. After a while, Dorothy extracted a total of 25 stones, 23 shadows, and 2 silences. The average price of the ton biography sold by Beverly this time was relatively expensive, but the average spirituality was also very high, which was quite worthwhile. The extracted spirituality was added to Dorothy's original spirituality, and now Dorothy's situation is like this.

38 cups, 29 stones, 24 shadows, 25 lights, 20 silence, 100 enlightenment.

In addition, there is a permanent mana recovery bonus of 50 points, as well as three god bonuses.

"Huh... I've swallowed ten tons of this. This amount of spiritual power should be enough for now..."

After reading all the tales and extracting the spiritual power, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself. Then she put all the tales back into the magic box, and slowly stood up by pressing her waist. After sitting for a long time, she prepared to walk around the house and move around.

At this moment, Dorothy felt that the "Wenhai Hangzhi" in her magic box had responded, and someone was contacting her.

After feeling the reaction of "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", Dorothy paused slightly, then quietly sat back in her seat, took out "Wen Hai Hang Zhi", flipped through the contact page that responded, which was the little fox's contact page, and at this moment there was a handwriting written by her on it.

"Miss Maester, my grandfather has returned. I have relayed all the questions you asked him before. He said that according to the intelligence he has on the Black Dream Hunters, they have indeed been making large-scale movements recently, and almost all of the false moths have left their original locations."

Dorothy looked at the messy handwriting in front of her and recalled the time when she contacted the little fox on the train to ask for information. The other party said that his grandfather was not there and could not answer many questions.

"Oh, such a large-scale operation. Does your grandfather know where all the pseudo-moths have gone?"

"Well... I don't know about that. Grandpa himself doesn't know it now and is still investigating. We will let you know if there is any result." The little fox wrote in front of Dorothy, and Dorothy immediately wrote in response.

"Thank you. What about the second question I asked you before? Regarding the general information about your organization's origin and situation, is your grandfather willing to let me know the answer to this question?"

Dorothy wrote to the little fox, and after a while, the little fox responded again.

"Grandpa also partially agreed to this... He said that as a sign of sincerity for the alliance, he is willing to let me explain some of our affairs. As long as you do so and make preparations for poison detection and defense, we can start at will."

"Then hurry up, I've got the defense ready on my side." Dorothy responded directly, and the little fox was a little slow to react to the quick response.

"Already...prepared for defense? Are you in the defense and poison identification place or laboratory now? What a coincidence...Anyway, you can ask any questions you have now."

The little fox responded surprisingly even in the written sentence, and Dorothy immediately typed her question without hesitation.

"By the way, do you believe in some cult of Dream Knights?"

Dorothy asked the little fox this. Based on the information she had collected before, she guessed that the organization the little fox belonged to was from the Third Age. The cult or association under the Dream Knight continued the remnants of the Fourth Age. She had wanted to confirm it with the little fox before, and now she finally had the chance.

"Dream Knight? Miss Bachelor, you mean the Fairy Queen, the Butterfly Fairy, or the Dream Knight. I don't mean to say that although we all respect the Dream Knight, He is not the god we worship. The Butterfly Fairy died at the end of the third season, and we didn't have the chance to worship Him."

"What? You're not an organization that worships the Dream Knight?"

"Yes, our organization is called 'Dreamland of Butterflies'... It is an extraordinary association formed by the remnants of the former Dream Knights in the Fourth Epoch. Our goal is to welcome and worship the next Dream God who will be born on the throne. That is our God.

"Our ancestors of Butterfly Dream Village have worshipped the Dream Dog since it was born from the throne thousands of years ago. We in Butterfly Dream Village worship the young Dream Dog and guide the young Dream Dog through worship. Our goal is to let the young Dream Dog embark on the right path of growth and eventually become the next Dream Knight.

"To guide the growth of the gods and eventually allow them to emerge correctly is the highest mission of our Butterfly Dreamland and has always been our mission."
