The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 217: Greedy Scroll
"It seems my loyal hound has done her job."

The magnificent reception room.

Victoria lowered her head and fiddled with the jeweled scepter in her hand.

Lavia Heidi and several maids stood behind her.

In front of him was a red-haired man kneeling on one knee.

"Mr. Louis Hyman, the greatest credit for this will belong to you."

Louis lowered his head and spoke softly.

"This is all thanks to your broad mind and your wisdom that can see through people's hearts. Your Majesty, if you hadn't filled in the gaps in my plan, I would not have won today."

The woman in the seat was smiling happily.

Because this incident not only benefited the Gray Party she supported, but also dealt a heavy blow to the old man Marvolo Hyman.

It was you who said we had to follow the rules.

So what should the secret party do next?

Marvolo Heyman, have you made up your mind?
Victoria was delighted.

Since the monarch is happy, he will certainly not be stingy with rewards.

——But she can't give Louis Heyman what he wants now.

"I hope you can fulfill your promise and grant the 'road' to the person chosen by Ms. Anne." Louis also knew that it was too early for what he was pursuing at the moment.

Before he chose to stand beside the monarch, he had a formal conversation with the supreme lady.

She would grant his wish, but not now.

"I hope you won't get your skirts stained by dirt, your majesty."

The implication is: Why don’t you just move a finger, break your previous promise, and be a trustworthy monarch?

You should be this kind of person.

——Victoria indeed is.

"I don't care what the loyal dog humbly prays for. The "principle object" is to me like the gold foil that can be found everywhere in this palace. Mr. Heyman, tell me, what path do you want me to grant her?"

"I leave the choice of this gift to you."

the way.

Anne chose Victoria because the Queen fulfilled her wishes.

Marvolo Heyman was wrong.

A blood-stained diamond is never willing to continue its life in a humble manner.

'Diamond Annie...'

Louis thought of that tall, strong bear-like...woman.

She had wanted to be a woman all her life, an elegant woman who was not looked down upon by others.

Before she died, she finally put on the most gorgeous and beautiful dress.

In front of everyone.

"Your generosity, Your Majesty."

Louis bowed his head in thought.

He had no idea what kind of person Lillian Rose Vansittart was.

First of all, the standard objects of the "Organ" Road only exist in the Elite Art Association and never flow out.

Secondly, two forbidden roads representing cultists must be removed.

Finally, based on Anne's description, Louis thought that the curly-haired girl was not very suitable for the "Iron Cavalry" and "Assassin" of the War Church - the qualification required for these two paths is "fear".

He didn't think the best wielder in the Elephant Gang had enough fear to fuel his upward movement.

At the same time, this also requires the exclusion of the standard objects of the "Long Mirror" Path (Mirror Path) from the Mithril Church, which Victoria cannot possess, as well as the "Judgment", "Wisdom" and "Saints" under the control of the Holy Cross.

Then, there are only four options left.

The Second Crown: Eve, the ruler of the quadruple spiral, is the two paths of the gods believed by the members of the Great Vortex:

The Immortal and the Herd.

Two paths that lean towards nature and living things.

The Third Crown: The Daughter of Bustle and Bustle, the Path Mastered by the Private Alliance:
"Secret Scroll"

A door that can only be touched by the greedy.

The Fifth Crown: The Constant Scales that divide day and night, that is, the Church of Justice:
"Scales"

This is a path as twisted as that of a "saint".

Finally. The Eighth Crown: Lord of the White Crown of the Wasteland.

The Ring of Eternal Silence controls "Dry Bones" and "Elegy".

Of these four paths, except for the second crown god's "natural" which was questionable, Louis thought the other three were all suitable for the thief lady.

Mr. Anne.

If you stick with your opinion about that girl...

"The Secret Scroll Road, Your Majesty."

Louis said loudly: "Please grant her the path to the Secret Scroll."

"Secret Scroll?" Victoria asked amusedly, "You should know what kind of qualifications are required for the Secret Scroll, Mr. Heyman."

The "secret scrolls" of the private alliance are very interesting.

As long as you obtain the code object, you can use it to sense the mystery and become an apprentice - it is easier than any other path.

There are many ritualists who embark on this path.

But at the same time, there are very few (high rings) that can go far.

Because the "Scroll" relies on "greed" to burn - this has to talk about the human race.

These higher beings are indeed greedy, but that doesn't mean they can't be satisfied...quite the contrary.

And Lillian Rose Vansittart was just a thief who made a living by stealing.

A low-level thief who is almost penniless and has never seen the world, an orphan without parents, and a stupid woman who can't even read.

How deep can her greed, that bottomless black hole, be?
Victoria thought of someone who had contacted her recently.

Shareholder of Golden Smoke.

A Gray Party member.

He is a ritualist of the "Secret Scroll" Road. While holding shares of Golden Smoke and enjoying dividends every year, he also paves the way for the Taylor family and protects the actual controller and future heir of the Taylor family.

He is Gao Huan, but that's all.

He could have continued upwards...

But his 'greed' was burned out.

Drunk in wine, dancing girls, endless pounds and power, the firewood that fuels his soul had long been soaked by the hedonistic laughter.

He had nothing left to burn.

And you will never be able to climb up.

This is not a problem that can be solved by self-deception or by saying something like 'I think I'm greedy enough'.

It’s gone, it’s gone.

"The road knows you better than you know it."

People can deceive themselves, but they cannot deceive the roads, the rules, or even the foundation of the ritualists - the sleeping world.

and so…

The "secret scroll" path is indeed suitable for this young lady thief.

Again.

——How deep can her greed, that bottomless black hole, be?

The answer is: not very deep.

A woman who has never seen the world wants at most gold pounds, carriages, respect, gorgeous dresses and the pursuit of handsome men - perhaps in addition to delicious food, attentive servants and salons once or twice a week.

That's it.

She won't have much fuel.

Victoria also did not want to create an uncontrolled high-ring ritualist.

So, giving the thief a way to prevent her from reaching the High Ring was indeed in line with the Queen's ideas.

It not only fulfills the promise, but also avoids any accidents.

Louis Hyman…

Is it loyalty, or are there other considerations?

"You seem to think highly of this man."

"No, Your Majesty." Louis Heyman shook his head: "Like you, I just want to fulfill my promise urgently, and then quietly watch Marvolo Heyman's old face twisted with anger."

Victoria covered her lips and chuckled.

Yeah.
