The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 310 Ch.309 Silver Spindle and Silver Cane

Judging from its doctrines and the texts that explain them, the Silver Spindle probably isn't an unpopular organization, right?

They seem to be calling for peace, or fairness, or limited freedom—

This may not be recognized by most gentlemen, but with the continuous emergence of steel monsters spewing heat, women also have roles besides childbearing, breastfeeding, getting beaten and selling sex - such as going into factories in groups, taking home a dozen pennies a week, and then getting beaten again.

Roland knew this because of James Jones.

She told Roland about a 'rule' that had been abolished.

The power to punish.

The husband can punish his wife appropriately because he must be responsible for his wife's behavior, just as he, as a master or father, must be responsible for the behavior of his servants or children in certain circumstances - of course, the name of the right to punish has gradually disappeared after the introduction of the "Personal Injury Law".

Today, the law provides that a husband found guilty of abuse must be fined five pounds or jailed for three months.

This swiftly imposed and efficiently enforced law has certainly put a stop to wife-beating among low-class bastards.

But at a cocktail party, amidst the spit of gold, silver and jewels, it was just a timely joke to accompany the wine and relieve boredom.

Roland didn't know at the time how a woman who had fallen into poverty in a workhouse could understand the "law" and "rules" so well...

Thinking about it now, it goes without saying what happened behind the scenes.

Jaime Jones's husband should be thankful that he died young, otherwise he would not have been treated much better than Mince Croy.

Let’s talk about the “Silver Spindle”.

Does it sound good?

of course not.

First of all, I need to explain one thing.

This is something Roland only understood after he arrived in London, attended several salons, and met upper-class people like Randolph Taylor and Cherry Chloe:

In the eyes of these people, people at the bottom of society do not deserve to be called certain things.

Gentlemen would not call a woman selling eggs a "lady," nor would they call her husband who shines shoes a "gentleman"--

They weren't even Mr. and Ms.

Not even men and women.

They just:

"them."

Similarly, the ladies waving feather fans would not think that what these fools are looking for together is so noble, great and rare.

They had a few or dozens of pounds of pocket money every week, no worries about food and clothing, and servants to serve them.

They are literate and attend school or have tutors.

They travel in carriages, are respected, have their own clubs, and have private gatherings with friends where they can chat and drink champagne.

They could even ride horses, go hunting, sing and dance, travel with their husbands and families every year, and enjoy all the most fashionable and trendy things.

——For those who are more unconventional, there is nothing wrong with becoming a scholar, researcher, or using a pseudonym to be a poet or writer.

They did not understand the Silver Spindle.

No need.

'Those? We're born with them.'

This is the most important.

They are "women".

Their lovers or husbands, the ones with carriages, pocket watches and tall silk hats, are "male".

The languages ​​of different species are not intelligible.

This also explains why Shandel disdained this sect, including why Enid never mentioned these people.

"So you should understand that those who can join the Silver Spindle ritual are not here for doctrine or faith."

Shandel said with some sarcasm.

indeed.

People will speak for cats, dogs, horses, and even pigs, but they would never consider themselves to be of the same kind as them.

"These incompetent cultists instigate those who believe in them, make them prove their 'piety', make them 'sew' themselves, and then punish their husbands and their relatives with 'spindles', or use more insidious 'soft' methods - all of them lead to the same result if they are discovered."

His social identity changed from a citizen to a cultist.

"Why would they do that...oh." Roland suddenly realized, "As long as the deceased doesn't have any male relatives or people who can inherit the property..." "Correct, Roland."

Shandel approved.

They will choose those who have few relatives, who are all in the local area, and even live together; they will choose those who have low social status, or live in remote areas, and have simple relationships; they will choose those who have relatively rich family property, or at least those who are easy to sell...

Finally, can those who inherit wealth really hold on to it?

He gained believers and the wealth offered by believers.

They don't care whether the husband is vigilant and exploits his wife, or the wife secretly "awakens" and hurts the husband...

This is what Silver Spindle is happy to see.

There are many 'ladies' who suffer, and they are the 'silver spindles';
There are many 'gentlemen' who have suffered, and perhaps it is the 'Silver Cane'.

Whichever side you fall on, the merchant who sells the blades always wins.

Profits, never-ending profits.

As Shandel Kratov said.

Their doctrines are bright and noble, but their methods are despicable and cruel.

Roland was a little disappointed.

Or rather, I was bored with the story.

He didn't care what was wrong with men, women or anyone's children.

He may be very similar to those gentlemen and ladies in the way they treat people, to some extent.

In his eyes, there are only two kinds of people: those who care and those who don't.

This is neither "fair" nor "just", and is more like a selfish "cult".

But he just wants to make this distinction so willfully and never gets tired of it.

"In fact, the first person who spoke out against it, calling them a cult, and denouncing them for being stupid, crazy, and despicable, and who should never be forgiven, was someone you would never have thought of." Xiandel opened his thin lips and uttered a name that really surprised Roland.

Their supreme lady.

"She is in many ways a very great deal stupid, but I think most ladies and gentlemen will tolerate a foolish person - provided she is a good listener and has a good memory and knows how to repeat what she has heard to others without changing the meaning."

"Then it's enough to sit on that chair - at least stupid people are more suitable for that chair than smart people."

If it weren't for the "Silver Spindle", Shandel didn't often talk about politics and related topics.

"That chair is not important, the Supreme Being is not important, the Silver Spindle is not important, and the cultist who calls herself the Spinning Witch is not important. I just want to remind you, Roland."

Shandel said.

“I don’t know what Helen Menzi taught you or what she told you, but you have to think clearly: who should we accept and who should we exclude; who should we hate and who should we love; who are our enemies and who are our friends—Silver Spindle is a very good example.”

"If not properly considered..."

"But you are not the only one who can explain "faith", Roland."

Shandel was reminding him of the "sin of heresy" of the Holy Cross.

Roland noticed the word "we" in Shandel's words.

"Tell me the 'limited' truth, Shandel." Roland's voice was as light as the wind: "Because I never thought that you would consider joining such a 'nothing' and almost joking organization."

The pious little nun smiled.

She stopped and turned around, looking back at the huge cross on the main building that symbolized holiness.

Because what is written in the Book of Eden is being confirmed time and time again.

"He was hated in his childhood, experienced hardships, and was surrounded by dangers. He performed impossible 'miracles' in death situations time and time again, and fanatics gathered around him."

"Sometimes He is brilliant and just, sometimes He is grotesque and dark;"

"Sometimes male, sometimes female."

“He has two sides and many angles. He came with a “great” mission and will eventually complete his mission:”

"Holy, or destroyed."

certainly…

For Shandel Kratov, this may be a weighty reason, or it may just be a lie she tells to her soul in order to find the thorn.
