The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 820 Ch.819 Cards
Three months of drifting.

It took much longer than I imagined.

Especially for a girl like Rose. After she had completely explored the ship inside and out, she was bored.

And when she started to get bored.

Others won't have it easy.

Roland wanted to do something to pass the time, but he couldn't expect it to be dark all day long - he could only rest at night in the Fairy Ring.

and so.

"So how do you play this? Like poker?"

At lunch.

Roland mysteriously picked up a small box and placed it on the table, pushing away the hard bread and dried meat.

Inside were stacks of cards.

There were many words written on thin paper, and on top was a crooked child's drawing.

Attach to cardboard and cut to the size of a poker card.

——There is a large pile of such cards.

"Can you tell me why this homeless man's name is 'Reverend'?"

Rose picked up a lace-bordered card with her fingers and showed it to Halida, Cinder, and Yolanda in turn, then raised it up and shook it in front of Roland.

The cartoon art that takes up most of the card is outlined in blue and black ink.

It was a man in a robe.

——If you interpret it according to the picture, rather than understanding the text first and then "imagining"...

Rose could only say that he was a homeless person.

Is this what a priest's robe looks like?
"Before you do something, can you please ask if there is anyone among us who is better at it...at least better than you?"

Roland rubbed his eyes and said, "I was busy all night."

"Excellent. You've been busy all night, so this tramp looks more and more like a priest."

Roland: ...

"It seems that besides the ability to name things, you have other talents that are completely incomprehensible to others."
-
You praised my painting yesterday.

"Because I thought it was a homeless person!!"
-
I wrote about the pastor.

"You wrote that this morning."
-
You did it on purpose.

"Yeah, that's right. I did it on purpose."

In short.

When Rose held up the card and showed it to the scattered sailors in the restaurant -

These bastards on the sea didn't care about Roland's identity at all and kept eating throughout the lunch hour.

'It seems that if a person is good in some places, he will be short in other places.'

'Are you talking about the talent for painting?'

'Who knows?'

Roland was very unhappy.

“Who am I doing this for?”

"Okay, okay, of course it's for me - then, how is this thing...are there any rules?"

Except for the pastor.

The cards also include characters such as the executor, the nun, the bishop, the sinner, etc. - all of them make sense just by looking at the text, and will make you laugh out loud just by looking at the pictures...interesting little cards.

To some extent, Roland had helped these girls kill time without having to follow any rules.

"Here."

He handed the priest and a whole stack of cards to Rose.

I chose another pile.

The first one read: Tombstone.

Chandel's mind worked faster than Rose's.

"The card of the Ten Crowned God?"

"It seems someone knows more about this than you do," Roland curled his lips at Rose, "It's a card-competing game that came from my sister's hometown."

"I told you so."
-
All your knowledge comes from Miss Nina.

Shandel took out the third pile from the wooden box.

as predicted.

The first one reads 'Son of Nature'.

Below are some beasts, including an introduction to plants - again, the painting skills are hard to describe.

Roland placed the tombstone with the number 30 in the corner in front of him, and at the same time asked Rose to do the same: put the pastor as close to her as possible.

Then the two of them cut up their respective cards, leaving only half.

At last.

He took out a pile of cards with uniform patterns and no patterns from the wooden box. "And then?"

Rose was eager to try.

She realized that this could be something very, very interesting and something that would keep her occupied for a long time.

"Then attack in turn."

Roland first played a "Zombie". At the same time, he took out a card from the pile of cards with the same pattern, and then drew out another card from the pile he had cut.

“It means secret.”

He held up the one without a pattern.

He pointed his finger at the "Zombie".

There is a 'zero' written on the upper left corner.

"Zero means that you don't need the Secret to cast it - but this one," Roland showed another card: "this one requires the Secret."

……

The Walking Dead: Foul Claws

「Cost: 1」

"We will be the first to attack."

"When you have a zombie on the field, you can convert the zombie into a filthy clawed crawler every round."

……

The girls at the table understood.

"You've done a remarkable thing, Roland."

Shandel obviously understood that this game was many times more interesting than the sailors' poker gambling.

even.

She could imagine that if the 'Ten Crown God' was used as the basis...

No.

This game can only borrow the shell of the Ten Crown God.

Shandel unfolded the deck in his hand and looked at them one by one.

When he raised his head, his eyes met Roland's.

Both of them understand what each other is thinking.

- You can use the 'name' of the Ten Crowned God, such as priests, executive officers, nonsense artifacts or rituals, but you can never really write about the power held by each ring.

That would be a big deal.

"If you have any better suggestions."

Roland flipped the cards and spoke casually while admiring his own painting.

Rose squinted: "Better advice is to stop drawing it yourself."

"I have one," Shandel pointed at the 'Priest' in front of Rose, "You can add one - about the basic card in the Holy Cross deck."

she says.

"How about adding a "Holy Child"? Whenever the "Holy Child" is on the field, the power of the "Bishop" ritual spell is +1, and it is discarded before the next battle."

Roland: ...

Rose: ...

In this regard, Shandel behaved more like a cultist than any of them.

"You also missed the "flagellate". If there are "nuns" and "the path of penance", there must be "flagellates" and "penitent prostitutes". Although some things cannot be really written clearly... You can learn from the poets' practice of using all kinds of strange references. "

That's clear enough, Shandel.

Roland squeezed the cards in his hand and said, "So, what's going on?"

In this short while, Rose had already looked through all the decks in the wooden box - Roland didn't have much time to keep all the Crown God Sects on paper, and only made three and a half sets in front of him.

She stared at the box, thoughtfully.

“…Maybe it’s good business.”

"what?"

"I think this could be a good business, Roland."

The thief was a little excited.

"James always told me: Pay attention, pay attention. Many things that no one notices may bring you amazing profits. Roland, this game is more interesting than poker, right?"

"…perhaps?"

"It can't be harder to make than playing cards, right?"

"…yes?"

"Business! We can make money with it!"

Rose held up the cards in her hand.

"Don't you know how little entertainment there is in the circle of 'princesses and princes' in London?"
