Alien Knights

Chapter 43: Return

   Karin, Hudgens and "acquaintances" gathered together.

With the light of the bonfire, everyone watched Todd cut out thirteen sheets of paper, and used a knife to cut each sheet into four identical rectangular pieces of paper, and then drew "Plum Blossoms" on them with pencils. The patterns of "hearts", "squares" and "spades" are marked with A, 2, 3... at the end.

   glanced at the J, Q, and K representing the prince, queen, and king. After thinking about it carefully, Todd replaced the "Joker" of the king with the pattern of the "big cross".

   Considering the difficulty of the game, instead of using the rules such as "Bridge" and "Upgrade", I chose "Fight Landlord", which is the easiest to get started and has a short game time.

   Of course, the dazzling name "Fight Landlord" cannot be used. Based on recent encounters, Todd simply named this game "Knights and Pirates". Pirates are farmers, knights are landlords.

   The name is not the only problem.

   It’s a small challenge to let others learn the card size first.

   After asking, no one at the scene could understand the Arabic numerals. Some people say that these figures are somewhat similar to, but not the same as, the characters of southern countries.

   In desperation, I can only teach others to recognize the numbers.

   After reading the numbers, someone asked why the A representing 1 is greater than 9, Todd could only block it back with the sentence "This is the rule".

After understanding the size, someone asked again, why the card representing the prince was represented by J (Jack), why not P (Prince), Todd was a little impatient, and directly responded, "Don't worry about so much, just remember the cards. ".

   After understanding the rules, someone asked again, what is a "bomb"? What is "aircraft"? Why are the two crosses together called "King Fried"? Blue veins burst on Todd's forehead, he patted the ground directly, and roared three times, "I want to play or not!"

   The world is quiet, and no one has any problems anymore.

   Once you understand the cards and learn the rules, as long as you play two laps or fancy for a while, no matter how stupid you are, you can play the game without any obstacles.

   Ten minutes later, a table of cards has been completely unable to meet the demand.

  The person with itchy hands, cut the paper, and then draw the numbers, and soon opened the second and third tables...

   Until late at night, on Waiheke Island, the fire is still on, and the voices are still on.

   A group of uninvited guests used playing cards to bring joy and laughter that have not been heard for a long time to this long-silent island.

   The next day, Todd opened his eyes, got dressed, walked out of the tent, and beat his stiff back with his hands. It echoed back at ten o'clock last night, and when he was fighting with a group of intoxicated card friends at the card table, he shook his head funny.

  Walking to the center of the camp, he discovered that Karin and Hudgens were still struggling at the card table.

   approached and took a look again. The paper playing cards with patterns on them had been replaced by wood chip playing cards with patterns on them. In this way, it is more convenient to draw cards, and it will not be run around by the wind as soon as the cards are played as last night. On the ground next to it, some people even engraved them with branches, the transliteration of technical terms such as "bomb" and "aircraft".

   Todd sighed. In order to play cards, this group of people really racked their brains and efforts.

   The two days on Waiheke Island passed quickly.

   When Todd told Karin that it was time to go back, the girl replied to him like this.

   "Don't worry, wait until I finish this round."

   Before setting off, Hudgens lit a bunch of plants, and the black smoke that was generated by the burning curled straight up, which was very conspicuous.

   Packed up the tent and utensils, everyone carefully cleaned the campsite, then boarded the boat and dropped the oars, and rowed to the eastern continent.

  ————————————

   A group of people who received the "news" early in the morning stood on the beach on the west coast of dusk, looking far away.

   "I heard people say that there was a treasure hunt team returning from the Northern Islands today, and the ship was full of gold and silver jewelry."

   "The news is not fake, right? I have waited till now, but I haven't seen the shadow of the ship yet."

   "We haven't had a boat out here for several years. I think the news is mostly false."

   "Then what are you doing here early in the morning?"

   "Nothing to do at home..."

   It was noon, and the sun was shining on the earth, and there were more and more people on the coast. People who waited for several hours began to become irritable and lose their patience, but still not many people chose to leave.

   Finally, a black spot appeared on the line between the sea and the sky.

  The black spots are getting bigger and bigger.

   Someone first shouted: "Look! There is a boat there!"

   The emotions of the people on the beach were instantly ignited, and the crowd shoved like boiling water.

   The hull is getting closer and closer to the coast, and people with sharp eyes can already see the face of the person standing on the bow.

   "The Son! It's the Son! It's Lord Todd!"

   The news was like a bird with wings flying all over the coast, and someone in the crowd began to shout loudly.

  The warship finally docked.

Todd was the first to jump off the ship’s side and stood on the beach, watching the crowds gathered in front of him~www.readwn.com~ He raised his hands and said loudly, "I came back from the north, experienced the wind, and passed by. The evil wave defeated the pirates, and finally discovered the treasures of ancient Tyro! I will dedicate all these priceless treasures to the noble Father! The great supreme! May the glory be attributed to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!"

   said, he motioned to the crew to put the crate on the beach and pry open the lid.

   The crystal clear, gentle and elegant "Crystal Treasure" shines brightly and dazzlingly under the shining of the sun.

   The noise disappeared in an instant. People opened their eyes and opened their mouths. The air seemed to be condensed and there was no sound.

   I don’t know who it is, and first shouted: "Heavenly Father is here! Holy Son is here!"

   The atmosphere of the crowd was pushed to a climax in an instant, cheers sounded like a mountain torrent, and praises lasted like sea waves.

   "The Father is here! The Son is here!"

   "Praise the Father! Praise the Son!"

The carriage that had been waiting for a long time also approached, watching boxes of treasures being carried up. Some people talked enthusiastically, some followed the carriage and wanted to see the true face of the treasure again, and more people ran back. After leaving the village, he tried his best to describe what he saw and heard about talents to neighbors and friends.

   Throwing the excitement gradually behind him, the church camp gradually appeared in front of Todd after the carriage drove for less than an hour.

   The monk glanced at the wooden box behind him, sinking his heart, thinking carefully about the situation he might encounter after entering the camp for a while, and how to deal with it.

   Soon, the carriage passed through the gate of the church camp. Todd deliberately ignored, the gate guard sneered at the gloomy face in the middle of the camp with the desperate look of the gate guard.

bring it on! Father Paul! Let me see, this round, who is the winner!
