The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 370 Ch.369 Chatting in the Car

Before receiving the order to take action against Shelley and Terry, the Inquisition also had to put on a "show" - at least they had to show that they had indeed discovered and began to be vigilant about the cultists that appeared in the city.

This action was called "rat hunting" by Peter Heller - that is, not tracing the source, finding the rat nest, and completely clearing the rat population, but using iron rods to smash the heads of those blind rats that popped out and wandered around.

This is what the Inquisition did in the years before Enid changed.

This is how they survived.

It was because there were too many mistakes before:

For example, catching a gentleman who was trying the invisible art in private, and the father of the gentleman's wife was from the lower seat of the blue-blooded nobles, or the daughter of a marquis was going to use an extremely stupid method to increase her charm so that men, including coachmen and gardeners, would look at her differently...

'Her smile was like a pair of open eyes, and her face was more terrifying than the cultists. ’

Obviously, Crow also participated in that mission.

This is in line with his speaking style.

(If he wasn’t afraid of dismantling the carriage, Roland really wanted to ask him how he knew about things like that. It would be too easy for people to misunderstand his hobbies.)

‘If she had enough money to buy a mirror, she would know that unless the Father of All Things awakens... Oh - I know why her parents are so thin. If they face a face like that all day, I’m afraid that loss of appetite is just one of the most insignificant symptoms...’

Most of these ladies, gentlemen, or children involved in the case came from wealthy families and extraordinary backgrounds. Similarly, they were not really crazy enough to use living people for rituals - then, the court at that time had to leave them a certain degree of standards or privileges.

If it was a worker, he would have been burned to death on the same day - at the same time, if the executive officer handling the case was in a bad mood, his wife and children would have to live in the court for a while.

But these girls and boys are what Peter Heller said, the meaning of the mouse-catching operation.

Their servants were arrested and beaten or burned to death, their coachmen, their friends of low status around them - in short, they will be fine.

Perhaps they were confined to their homes?

If that can be considered a punishment.

"You have not experienced that era, Collins, and you don't know what the executive officers thought at that time." In the carriage, Heller told Roland very sincerely: "Maybe you think we are cowardly and blasphemed the power given to us by the Holy Fire and the mission given to us by the Father of All Things..."

"But I want to say."

"At that time, no one could support us."

Peter Heller and Fernandez have one thing in common: they don't think that this was caused by Enid's "inaction".

"If the court of justice, the court of justice of the entire country, has to be supported by a little girl, I think we don't need to fight against the cultists. Isn't there a place on the streets of the East District at night?"

He hinted at those prostitutes.

To be honest, putting those executive officers who gave up and left on the same level as prostitutes made Roland begin to be interested in Peter Heller - this is an interesting person.

He is also right.

Although Roland himself did not want to evaluate whether the "Cross of Judgment" and "Soul Purifying Flame" held high by the Inquisition were reasonable, and did not want to put the story told by Miss Nina and the doctrine of the Holy Cross on the scale to distinguish between the high and low - but for such a long time, he has indeed seen too much of the beliefs of these "brothers and sisters".

Faith should not be firm because of the gods.

Whether He is strong or weak, maintaining order or spreading chaos, spreading doctrine or keeping silent - if you believe in Him because of the power of the gods, then when He is weak, believers will have other places to go.

Whether the gods are strong or not, whether the land illuminated by the glory is wide or not, and even the views of the lambs: devout believers should not shake their faith because of this.

Naturally, the real executive should not change what he insists on because of the behavior of a "chief judge".

Like Crow, Fernandez, and Mr. Peter Helle, they will hide from the rain or open an umbrella when the weather is bad, but they never think that if they change land or country, there will be no rain or thunder.

These gentlemen finally waited for the dawn.

"I can't guarantee that John Shelley and Madeline Terry will end up in flames, but I can guarantee that they won't be much better."

Heller laughed heartily.

"Miss Judia has taken action."

"We no longer need to calculate how many shots we need to fire when we encounter the enemy so that we don't spend two months' salary."

"No need to worry about not getting proper treatment after being injured."

"No need to be careful about offending any child, getting in trouble with the Supervisory Bureau, and being blocked by those literary rubbish in the church for bullets and ritual materials every month - I heard that she is considering increasing the weekly salary of the executive officers recently, is that right?"

To be honest, Roland didn't know.

Enid didn't mention this to him - for the executive officers, this lady with an increasingly strong biting ability has always been chillingly indifferent.

At least in front of Roland, she disdained them.

At this time, Peter Heller's attitude was exactly the opposite.

Enid Judia.

According to Roland's understanding...

limited understanding.

She probably...

doesn't care about them very much.

Although the truth is cruel.

-- She doesn't care much about the Executor, the Inquisition, even the cultists, the Holy Cross... or even who sits on the supreme chair in this country.

"Maybe."

That was all he could answer.

"Perhaps, Mr. Heller. But I'm just an executive, and if it really goes up... I'll just have to drink two more drinks with gratitude."

Heller was in a good mood: "Don't call me Mr. Heller, Collins. Call me Peter, and I'll call you Roland, okay?"

"This should be my honor." Taking this opportunity, Roland said insinuatingly: "Peter, I have not been a member of the Tribunal for a long time, but I also know some ritual practitioners. I am very confused. The path of "Holy Flame" is obviously better than other paths. Powerful...Am I not in contact with enough ritualists, or am I missing some knowledge? "

The carriage suddenly became quiet for a few moments.

Crow glanced at Roland thoughtfully, but unusually did not interrupt. He and the woman on his shoulder looked out the boring window and on the boring street.

Peter Heller was sitting opposite Roland.

"..."Holy Flame"? "

He narrowed his eyes, wrinkles forming at the ends of his eyes.

"Oh, that is indeed a... desirable road, although, as you said, it is not much stronger than other roads." He said this, but looked at his side: York. His assistant, or deputy? Roland didn't know.

The boy, who was probably younger than Beatrice, sat obediently next to him and said nothing the entire walk.

"York is ready to embark on the path of the Holy Flame."

"A very wise choice," Roland smiled kindly at the boy: "You will definitely be a powerful and respected ritualist in the future, my brother."

York only smiled shyly and lowered his head.

"If possible, I don't want it to be this one." Peter Heller sighed: "But he doesn't seem to be so close to other paths."

Intimacy makes sense...

"Why."

"Because of the "Holy Flame"——"

"Old man, if I were you, I'd better keep my mouth shut." Crow suddenly spoke up without looking back: "Are you eager to share some secrets with others?"
