The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 751: The Secret of the Holy Flame (Additional)

On whether it was right to direct the indifference of Phuth Collins and James Jones at Louis Heyman…

Roland didn't care.

Does it mean that no matter how old you are, once you are in love, you can no longer care about other people?

Even your own children?

They are such a disappointment.

"You're not?"

-

At least I have never neglected others because of love.

"When you say 'others', you don't mean Cinder, Enid, and Rose, do you?"

"Tell me, which of these women is 'the others'?"

-

When I face one of them, the rest are left.

"Who taught you to be like this?"

-

Yeah, a wrench.

-

Who taught me to be like this?

The amazing thing is.

After this sentence.

The flames seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.

Roland stared at the flame that formed the "orz" symbol in his sight, watching it slowly crawl away from his sight... crawling away...

I finally feel happy.

"I'm much more comfortable, Mr. Heyman. Let's talk about the deal."

He put the brown paper bag he had brought with him on the table.

Inside are drawings made by Darwin himself.

Regarding mechanical aspects.

Louis Heyman was in no hurry to open it. While Roland was talking to Wrench, he calmed down and put on his polite and distant smile again.

"The problem with the Holy Flame Path..."

He said.

"You've always wondered why Enid Jutia couldn't use the Secret at will. It's very simple, Roland."

"Because she can't."

"Frequent exposure to this power from the sleeping world will allow her to level up faster."

"That's it."

After he finished speaking, he slowly refilled his and Roland's glasses.

"…If I ask why, I won't agree to another condition of yours."

When the ritualist of the path of "Holy Flame" reaches the eighth ring.

Something wonderful happened.

From the eighth to the ninth ring.

There is no ring raising ceremony.

As long as they continue to touch the "secret", the fire of their souls will become more vigorous. And this fire will also push them to climb upwards, from the eighth ring to the ninth ring, perhaps just in the time of a sleep.

Or a musical, a few greetings, half a loaf of bread.

“…This doesn’t make sense.”

Roland frowned.

It's not that this 'easy' promotion is unreasonable - it's what Louis Heyman said before.

If only it were easy to reach the Ninth Ring.

Any ritualist would like to spend the whole day in the sleep world.

Nine rings must be better than eight rings, right?

"Unless the Nine Rings are closer to death, Roland."

"The Holy Flame that reaches the ninth ring will melt into the purest fire in the world after thirty days, unless..."

Louis Hyman whispered with lowered eyelashes.

"…unless you swallow a very special ingredient."

"A fire of the purest kind."

The sound echoed around the room for several times.

Roland was silent.

I see.

"I don't know why the 'Judgment' of your Inquisition—I mean, Keshihai—left. But from what I heard... Roland, I can't guarantee the authenticity of the following words."

Louis said.

"It is said that he once made an agreement with Enid Jutia: whoever reaches the Ninth Ring first will be the 'material', and the one who comes after will be the real 'Holy Flame'."

"Those big shots don't dare to provoke Enid, partly because they are afraid of this."

A judge who does nothing is always better than a righteous madman who hates evil.

Once Enid chooses to abandon herself and help Keshhai...

They will have to face an unprecedented Nine Rings that has almost no rivals in the waking world—

That is the Holy Flame.

That's Keshhai.

A madman who dared to burn nobles at will and ignore the rules when he was an executive officer.

"I don't think I need to describe to you how terrible the Path of the Holy Flame is. When it comes to the ninth ring..."

Louis shrugged.

"Perhaps only the 'brave man' lost in history can compare to him."

Roland blinked: "You also know "Brave Man"? "

Louis also blinked mysteriously a few times: "That's another price."

He pointed to the leather bag on the table.

"Can I?"

"Of course, please."

…

"Name": Fire

「Type」: Path of Holy Flame (Nine Rings)

「Description」: This is my ending and also another great beginning.

The ritualist who reaches the ninth ring will melt into a holy flame of the purest kind.

All his powers, memories, thoughts and experiences will be passed on to subsequent holders.

The Eternal Fire lasts for thirty days.

During this period, the flesh and soul of the ritualist will endure unimaginable pain - this is a road leading to death and there is no turning back...

But those who are proud or violent never expect mercy from anyone.

'The flames burn the body and the soul turns to ashes.'

'The latecomer...'

'forward.'

…

"Name": Holy Flame

「Type」: Path of Holy Flame (Nine Rings)

Description: I am like the blazing sun that never goes out.

A Holy Flame who successfully swallows fire will become one of the most fearsome ritualists in the world.

At least in the waking world, no one is willing to create an enemy who can wield the fire of judgment at will.

He is no longer confined to the gorgeous power of flowers and branches, but questions the most essential rules -

When the ritualists of "Any Path" face the flames, all their strange spells and tricks will become useless and melt into the most primitive power in the burning - please note, all of it.

Whether it's a curse, a prophecy, a plague, or a pendulum that manipulates life and death, the hands of time, or a whisper that invades the brain...

Whether it is a gunner, a swordsman, a mathematician, an orator or a lyre player...

They all had to put aside what they were good at and be prepared to compete with the strongman in strength - when the fire of judgment came, there would be no difference between the great art and the invisible art.

At the same time, the Holy Flame can also leave a burn mark (mark) on the target, making it always like a candle in the night in the eyes of all ritualists of the "Holy Flame" path - sometimes, shining is not a good thing.

Until now.

The ring ritualist no longer gains additional ingenious abilities.

He doesn't have to have it anymore.

——'I am unrivaled.'

——'There are no enemies of mine in the world.'

…

…………

Roland didn't wait long.

Those drawings of machinery were obviously not what Louis Hyman needed.

He just flipped through it a few times, checked the numbers on the corners of the drawings and their general completeness, then carefully folded them in order and put them back in his pocket.

"I am a trustworthy person, and I like to do business with people who are also trustworthy. Roland, maybe next time..."

"I don't think we'll have another deal, Mr. Heyman."

Louis' smile deepened: "As long as you move forward, you will find those hidden answers sooner or later... Oh, speaking of compensation, I have recently collected a book--"
