Chapter 15: Measures

The furnishings of Dai's living room are very simple, but Luo Di feels a unique temperament of aristocracy, looking at these simple furniture and aristocratic design really makes him find a trace of peace in waiting.

About thirty minutes later, Roddy saw the butler Old Tyre leading Dai over.

Dai was a little surprised by Roddy's appearance in the living room.

"Roddy?"

Old Tyer, the butler, saw Dai's puzzled gaze and smiled:

"Miss, a bit of a surprise, isn't it?"

Dai blinked and said nothing, she knew that Old Tyr didn't want to affect the psychic ritual because of Roddy's business.

Without any extra etiquette, Dai asked about Roddy's father, and the butler Old Tyre took the opportunity to take out the cloth bag that Roddy had given him in advance.

"Miss, the thing is here. ”

Dai glanced at Luo Di and opened the cloth bag after seeing him nodding slightly, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and the expression of the housekeeper on the side also changed slightly.

These Luo Di were all carefully aware of it, and thought that Dai really knew this kind of thing.

"It's an analytic stone. Dai explained, then looked at Roddy again:

"Your father seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. ”

Roddy's expression darkened, this is also what he wants to know, what his father said before he died did not solve most of his doubts, but the questions left in his heart became more.

Why did my father turn into a stone after he died, and why did he give it to Dai, and what does it represent.

"Yes, Dai, my father asked me to give this to you, I want to know, what does it represent?"

"Extraordinary. Dai pondered for a while and continued:

"Different from ordinary people, people who have mastered a certain special ability, some have been cultivated by the church and major families, some have passed through rituals and adventures, and there are families that have inherited the nature of special abilities, and such people are collectively called extraordinary people. ”

"After they die, some of their abilities will be left behind in the form of analysis stones, some can be directly absorbed as materials, and some will be fused with some objects due to some external factors to become items with corresponding abilities. ”

It was the first time Roddy had heard of it, and it made a lot of thoughts flash through his mind.

"What is it, what is the power of the representative? Can you know?"

Dai nodded, closed her eyes and felt it for a while, and replied affirmatively:

"It's a kind of danger-sensing ability. ”

"Is it left behind only after death?"

"Yes. ”

Dai's answer made Roddy's mind much clearer, and he inadvertently fell into deep thought, but Dai and the butler Old Thiel did not bother, and waited patiently.

Roddy thought hard, guessing his father's intentions.

My father passed on a mysterious pattern to me before he died, and the reason why he gave the stone to Dai was because Dai was the only clergyman in the village, and the church of order and law represented behind it.

It is clear that the father meant to tell the church "I am dead" in order to hide the mysterious pattern, but the question is, if this is the case, how can the father be sure that the church will not investigate the mysterious pattern from himself?

Just then, Dai interrupted his thoughts.

"I've been investigating your father. ”

Perceiving Roddy's uneasiness, Dai continued expressionlessly:

"The church side is also investigating your father about the scavenging team. ”

"Scavenging team?", Roddy immediately remembered what his father had said to his mother, which involved Gusfu's death.

"Your father came to Leo only twenty years ago, and in the same year he subtly facilitated the creation of a scavenger team to enter the Forsaken Lands to explore, ostensibly in search of valuable objects, but the Church suspects that your father is looking for something about the fallen gods in the Forsaken Land. ”

Roddy looked at Dai in surprise, and what she learned about what her father had done made him more and more suspicious, especially when he heard the word "fallen god".

"During one of the expeditions, four people died in your father's scavenging team, and the Church thought there was something hidden behind this expedition, so they secretly investigated, and unexpectedly, the Guardians did not get any useful information. ”

"In this regard, at this moment I understand why the guardians of the church are in vain. ”

"Why?", Roddy asked subconsciously.

Dai was still an expressionless face.

"Because your father is an extraordinary being, and certainly understands rituals, the guardians of the Church will not be able to get useful information from your father or Gusfu, even by means of dreams. ”

"Dreaming...?", Roddy keenly grasped the sensitive words in this paragraph.

Dai simply explained that she had fallen asleep once, in fact, Luo Di had already experienced it once before, but it would not have much impact on the person concerned.

In short, it is a method similar to hypnosis, but it is more intuitive and effective, and can directly awaken the subconscious of the person who is dreaming to choose to enter the dream or directly ask questions to obtain useful information.

"The Church can use the Summoning Ritual to summon the spirit of Gusfu, which is not inexpensive and relatively difficult to interfere with, and your father's ritual does not guarantee that he will still be able to escape the Church's investigation after his death. ”

Dai's explanation made Roddy realize that his previous guess might be correct, and thinking of his father's last words to ask him to find Dai, Roddy spoke:

"My father said..."

Before Roddy could finish speaking, Dai said something that surprised and expected him.

"I can help you. ”

Luo Di looked at Dai in a slight surprise, although he had guessed that Dai would help him through his father's last words and the current situation, but he didn't expect it to be so direct, which had to make Luo Di start to think about whether to tell the mysterious pattern.

"How do you know?" Roddy said, 'What else do you know?' ’

Dai smiled slightly, finally no longer the same poker face, and stretched out her little finger to point at the analysis stone.

"This analytic stone says a lot. ”

Roddy nodded understandingly, at least a little sure that Dai didn't want to know the secret that her father had left for her.

"So what's next?"

"The first is to avoid the Guardian's investigation, as your father did in the beginning, it's very simple, just take measures to avoid falling asleep in advance. ”

Roddy said he had no objections.

Measures to avoid falling asleep are also a ritual, which is carried out very smoothly with Dai's help and her own cooperation, and some countermeasures are prepared in advance, such as what she thinks of her father, whether there is anything abnormal, etc.

"The guardians of the church are so dependent and trusting in their own abilities that you don't have to worry about anything else as long as you get through this. ”

Roddy nodded cautiously.

When it was all over, Dai personally delivered Roddy to the door and handed him an umbrella made of beast skin.

Roddy pinched the handle of the umbrella, looking a little at a loss.

"Thank you, maybe I'm being abrupt, but I still want to ask... Why are you willing to help me?"

Dai looked into Roddy's eyes, it was a pure direct gaze, which made Roddy's face slightly red, and he involuntarily looked away.

"Let's go back. ”

Dai whispered.

Then the doors of the church closed again, and Roddy held his umbrella for a moment before disappearing into the night rain.

In the living room, the housekeeper Old Thiel made a cup of hot tea for Dai and asked questions.

"Miss, aren't you curious about what Roddy is hiding?"

Dai shook her head.

"Pais doesn't seem to be as simple as you investigated, and it's no accident that Roddy was able to see the Fallen God, and it's clear that Pais knows who I am, and it might be better to keep some secrets from each other. ”

There were still some things that Dai didn't say, and she was very skeptical about Pais's true identity and whether he was really dead.
