The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 627: Curse and Spirit Tablet

…………

……

[Name] Gold Coin (2nd Ring)
Type: Secret Scroll Road (Third Crown: Busy Girl)

「Description」: I know that I am no longer ordinary.

The secret scrolls that reach the second ring can gain more knowledge through objects and can glimpse the value behind those inconspicuous objects - what's important is that starting from the second ring, they will no longer miss out on rare objects.

Not only that.

Their excellent eloquence enables them to easily deceive their trading targets during conversations, thereby gaining more profits.

The longer you talk to "Gold Coin", the more persuasive his words will be - this mysterious power cannot take effect on events other than "Transactions", and the effect will decrease/increase with the ring difference.

Gold is as soft as silk in the hands of "gold coins". They can shape gold into any shape they want and even shoot it out like bullets.

That is the golden archery technique.

Note: When you embark on the road of secret scrolls, you should be aware of what kind of person can easily advance on this road.

Note: Many ritualists of his religion envy the "Secret Scroll" for having long-range attack capabilities in the Second Ring, especially in some situations where firearms are prohibited - but we believe that these pagans just envy our wealth, the wealth that can be squandered and use the "Golden Shooting"...ah...poor poor people.

Note: "Gold coins" can shape gold at will, but to attack the enemy, you often don't need "pure" gold - the ratio of gold to other metals is the secret of each "secret scroll"... Of course, if you are rich enough, it is "common sense" that can be found everywhere.

Note: Maintain an insatiable desire and greed.

The second ring of the "Secret Scroll" has the power of "shooting" early on - this is very rare in other paths. Even the "Iron Cavalry" and "Assassin" who advocate war, or the "Holy Flame" of the Holy Cross, do not have the ability to strike the enemy from a distance in the second ring.

In some situations where weapons are prohibited, this is undoubtedly a force that cannot be ignored.

only…

The ring raising ceremony made Rose feel a little nauseous.

She let the maid put on the blanket and turned to look at the wooden rack not far away:

The woman on the shelf has become a golden statue.

Her body was made of some substance that was neither gold nor copper, and she still maintained the ferocious expression she had before death. Her two golden eyeballs bulged out of their sockets, staring fiercely in the direction of the crucible - three of her teeth had fallen out, and when they fell to the ground, they knocked out a handful of yellow powder.

Well-trained servants used hammers and saws to dismember her, lifting her thighs and arms one by one, some holding her palms or head.

Rose changed the bathroom, cleaned herself up, put on a soft nightgown, and went to James Shelley's study.

The old man was holding a slender reading basket in his mouth and flipping through a book on herbal medicine.

He shrugged his nose when he saw Rose come in.

“…It seems to be very successful.”

"Is there any possibility that this ceremony will fail?" Rose pulled over a chair and skillfully took a pipe from the pipe rack - it was a small curved pipe specially customized for her by old Shelley.

He unscrewed the glass jar, took out a pinch of dark brown tobacco and rubbed it in his palm a few times.

Fill the bowl little by little.

Although she doesn't smoke, she can't stand old Shelley and Tom smoking their pipes in front of her all day and sighing: "This tastes great", "I swear, life is incomplete without experiencing it"...

Two old bastards.

Rose stuffed some grass into her thumb, held it in her mouth and tried sucking on it twice, then struck a match.

"Yes, of course there is a possibility of failure." The old man placed his hand holding the pipe on his knee, squinting his eyes and staring at the unskilled girl quietly: "... For example, if the last step is not completed... the whole villa will be blown up."

Rose took a few sips and said with dissatisfaction in her tone: "I should have asked Tom to warn me."

"Nothing serious will happen, Lillian," James smiled, "If you fail, it proves that you are not fit to go too far. One ring at a time, you can still live well."

As he spoke, he twitched his nose again and looked down at the glass jar on the table.

"I clearly prepared salty cheese and honey butter flavors for you..." He was somewhat disappointed: "Most girls like tobacco that is not strong and has a sweet taste." Rose raised her eyebrows: "What's the fun of smoking it?"

She is not Roland.

In other words, it was the exact opposite of Roland.

Roland likes sweet things, either a big glass of milk, honey, or small candies. As an executive officer, the most common thing on his body is not holy water and bullets, but various flavors of soft candies...

She is different.

She wants the strongest one.

"Like raising a boy."

Old James shrugged playfully and took two sips. "That woman did all sorts of bad things - do you need me to comfort you with words like this?"

Rose drooped her eyelashes.

"Tom took a lot of effort to do what you asked him to do." The old man opened the drawer and took out a bronze medal.

That was the 'reward' that Rose had brought back from Inns Town - the collection of that bastard Street.

"You'll soon be calling her Lady Streeter. She's apparently smarter than most people think about the white ore. Oh, back to the sign. You know the ritual described on it is very dangerous, right?"

James roughly figured out what the invisible art recorded on the sign meant, but he was not willing to teach it to Rose.

"The gushing spring curses and kills."

This ritual is too dangerous.

Rose blinked: "Where is the danger?"

James silently put the bronze medal back into the drawer and winked back at her: "I am also a "Secret Scroll", Lillian, do you think you can negotiate with me on this matter? New abilities, new toys, right? This is not a deal."

The old man waved his hands playfully, as if trying to dispel the mystery that permeated the surroundings.

Rose: ...

“I won that back.”

"The prerequisite is that you have to prove that you are steady enough not to use it casually - I don't think you can prove it." James smiled and opened his palm, waving it in front of Rose.

A flash.

A poker-sized card appeared between his fingers.

"…I'm not a child, James—" The girl paused.

In her sight, the piece of paper was emitting a faint glow.

"The eye of the Secret Scroll is the most important. At least before reaching the high ring, you have to learn to make good use of your own special features," James put the card on the table and pushed it to Rose: "A card-shaped wonder."

"I think it is more suitable for you than the Invisibility Technique."

James said.

“It’s also less expensive to use.”

This poker-sized card without any patterns or designs was always carried by James Shelley, and it helped him a lot from the time he became an apprentice to the time he climbed to the top of the ring.

but.

After being injured in the last hunting operation, he miraculously recovered his bloodline...

Old Shelley can finally hand it over to a more suitable holder.

"This is a spirit tablet that can give a warning, Lillian."

"People like us need a strange object to constantly remind us of danger."

Rose looked down at the spirit tablet and muttered, "...I am already stable enough."

Old Shelley nodded seriously: "It's obvious."
