Chapter 284: Recitation

Dorothy thought to herself, and suddenly she recalled the words the mummy had spoken to the old butler just now. A thought flashed through her mind.

“Just now, when that dry corpse cursed the old butler… It seemed to say that if the old butler were not a bl**d relative of Neve’s grandfather and also a medium, he should have died long ago at his age according to what he said… Mediums seem to have some adaptability to curses.”

Dorothy thought in this way, knowing what “medium” referred to—it was the name of the apprentice stage on the path of “Silence.” According to the mummy’s words, “Silence” extraordinary beings seemed to have a certain degree of adaptability to the curse of “Silence.”

Then, if Nevenis were promoted to a medium right now… What would happen?

Dorothy thought like this, and immediately realized that this seemed feasible. Firstly, the floor of this secret room itself had a “Silence” magical array, which could be used directly as an advancement array.

Then, recalling the secret transmission she had shown Nevenis, Dorothy found that both of her copies of the “Silence” secret transmission, “Faron’s Lament” and the shaman knowledge from the New World book, were listed.

Although Dorothy didn’t have physical copies of these two secret transmissions, they were so short that she had copied them down. “Faron’s Prayer” was just a few poems, while the shaman knowledge from the New World was just a few lines carved on a piece of bark, easily read in one go. After copying them along with other short secret transmissions such as “Lamb Song,” Dorothy gave them to Nevenis to help her accumulate spirituality faster.

Now, Neven has completely read “Faron’s Prayer” and the shaman knowledge, accumulating a total of 7 points of “Silence.” If she could get just one more point of “Silence,” she would meet the requirements for the promotion ceremony.

But… where can you find Silence now? Dorothy’s “Silence” secret transmissions totaled only these two, and it was impossible to get any more.

‘Swish… So it still won’t work? Could it be that I have to use a Wild Feast this time? This is my last Wild Feast, and it consumes 5 points of “Cup”… Is it really worth wasting such precious sigils and so much spirituality here?’

Dorothy thought rather troubled, and at this moment, she was not the only one struggling.

…

In the secret room beneath the Boyle mansion, Nevenis lay on the ground, her eyes wide open, her body immobile, the curse suppressing her completely, robbing her of all movement, even the ability to speak.

However, under the power of the “bl**d-Eating” Cup, Nevenis’s life was still maintained at a low level, her heart still beating, her breathing not stopping. The curse seemed unable to k*ll Nevenis further.

This made the mummy’s shadow feel somewhat impatient.

“Why… why, as a bl**d relative of Davis Boyle and an ordinary mortal, are you still not dead?”

Floating beside Nevenis, the mummy’s shadow spoke slowly, even its strange voice showing displeasure at this moment.

Clearly, Nevenis, who could only move her eyes, could not answer any of the mummy’s questions. After circling around Nevenis once, the shadow continued speaking.

“It seems… there are some interesting secrets about you, little Boyle… With the power I’ve regained, I can’t k*ll you directly, but it doesn’t matter. The means at my disposal here are not limited to this.”

Floating, the mummy’s shadow said, indicating that it was currently only a projection of sound and shadow. Apart from guiding the curse already inscribed in Boyle’s bloodline and conveying information, it couldn’t directly interfere.

But in this world, many pieces of information themselves carried enough powerful influence. Since the mummy’s shadow could convey information, it could also convey this influence.

“Be grateful, for the teachings I impart are not something any ordinary person can hear.”

Finally, the mummy’s shadow opened its mouth in a declaration-like manner, and a series of awkward syllables came out of its mouth, echoing in the small secret room.

“Oh… Great Judge of Heaven… Please forgive our sins… Our fall is for continuation… Betrayal is for loyalty… Although we fell from life-soul enlightenment to d*ath-soul silence… Our kingdom will eventually rise again underground…”

The dry, hoarse voice echoed in the secret room, as if the mummy’s ghost were singing some kind of poem. Each word of this poem carried a venomous toxicity. Nunut, who was struggling to breathe in the corner, covered his ears with his weak hands and looked with difficulty at Nevenis, who couldn’t even move.

“Mm… Cover your ears and don’t listen… Miss…”

Nunut weakly shouted, understanding very well what the mummy’s shadow was reciting. It was a secret transmission, a forbidden knowledge filled with poisonous toxins!

After realizing that his curse couldn’t k*ll Nevenis temporarily, the mummy’s shadow, located far away in the ancient tomb in Northern Ufeiga, chose to recite the ancient secret transmission directly here, intending to harm Nevenis with the powerful poison contained within.

Covering his ears, Nunut shouted desperately to Nevenis, but his weak voice was completely overwhelmed by the mummy’s ghost’s recitation. The ancient syllables still penetrated Nevenis’ ears unobstructed, the toxic information being recorded by her still clear consciousness.

Thus, the mummy’s shadow recited the highly toxic poetry, watching Nevenis lying on the ground passively listen to each line, savoring every word, waiting quietly for Nevenis to mutate due to the poison.

Poor Nevenis could only lie on the ground, unable to move a single part of her body, passively listening to this venomous poetry, unable to do anything, not even able to laugh with relief while covering her belly.

…

“d*mn… What you lack is given to you… Even spirituality can be directly delivered… ”

At this moment, Dorothy sat in the study of Green Shade Town No. 17, helping Nevenis extract the poison while saying, and the spirituality she extracted was undoubtedly “Silence” spirituality. She originally worried about how to gather 10 points of “Silence” to promote Nevenis, but unexpectedly, the mummy started reciting the secret transmission directly.

Although Dorothy didn’t understand what the mummy was thinking at first, she immediately began extracting the poison that Nevenis had ingested.

Under Dorothy’s operation, Nevenis, lying on the ground, listened to the secret transmission and gained spirituality. Indeed, as the mummy had said, the poison in this undead poem was extremely potent. Nevenis’s “Silence” spirituality quickly rose to the required 10 points for promotion.
