The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 191 Ch.190 Ordinary

into the night.

The second floor of the medicine shop.

The bean-sized fire in the lampshade flickered vaguely.

Roland sat quietly at the desk, looking at the white snake on the desk.

……

「Name」: Roland's pet
Type: Unknown species
"Tail Swallower": With sufficient support from secrets, one can freely control the body size.

"Ouroboros": A creature that feeds on mysteries and is never satisfied. This alien species that can even devour dreams is not welcome in the world of sleep.

"Fairy Ring": As a friend of the "fairies", it has mastered a skill that only a few fairies have - this special power can enable it to open up a dreamland that belongs to it alone in the sleeping world. And the only one who holds the key is the one it chooses.

……

"Candle."

"I told you, you better not name her."

The slender white snake curled up in front of Roland.
-
She seemed to like the name very much... and you didn't say anything else.

"How's Lilith?"

Roland shrugged and opened his palms towards the two crystal red pearls. She swam obediently into Roland's palms, coiled up halfway, and rubbed her head against his wrist.

"There was a chatterbox who said 'candle' didn't sound nice, and insisted on giving you another name - Lilith." Roland slid his fingers down her head, and she raised her little snake head and swayed gently with the touch.

"Lilith? Or the candle?"

"It is your choice, Candle."

"Are you cheating?"
-
I am the fairest person.

Roland held the little snake in his hands and put it back on the table. He cleared his throat and said, "If you like the name 'Candle', then roll up your sleeves. If you like the name 'Lilith'..."

"Just fly around my head."

"..."

"You son of a bitch."
-
If she really likes it, she will definitely try her best to do it.

"You and Yam are living a hard life in the workhouse. Is it because you don't work hard?"
-
Don't make personal attacks.

"You finally learned some trendy words from me."
-
look.

The snake on the table coiled up, and its two jewel-colored eyes looked at Roland.

She seemed confused as to why her master was staring at the window in a daze, and tilted her head.

"Candle?"

Roland also adjusted the angle of his head as she did.

"Hiss?" the snake was confused.

"I'm not in a trance, dear. I'm talking to something in my head... Oh, what is that? I don't know what it is... I can take you for a walk tomorrow - if you see the mud stuck to the wheels..."

"hiss."

"Yeah, it might be better than mud, I... Of course, I certainly won't allow a piece of mud in my head."

"Do you two think I'm deaf?"
-
wrench.

"what."
-
I found a very serious problem.

"?"
-
You and I can both understand what the candles say.
-
But in this world, it seems that I am the only one who can communicate with you.

"It's your pleasure."
-
and so…
-
What would happen to you if I didn't talk to you.

"Heh, you try it?"

This line of words is particularly large.

Roland glanced at the bluffing flame, lifted the candle and held it to his face.

Cold scales.

"Little one, you are so beautiful."

The candle also rubbed against Roland's face, and the hissing sound made people laugh.

She said: My father is more handsome.

Roland held her in front of him, pretending to be fierce and baring his teeth: "Your father is a big snake with golden eyes! You are a small snake with red eyes! Let's go out to look for food tomorrow, how about it? We find a poor guy and secretly entangle him..."

"Roland."

"Oh, you said just take my 'secret'... I was kidding, Candle. I know you eat it, right?"

"Roland."

"Then every night... wait for my permission before eating, okay? Yes, I might need it during the day. I am a snake ritualist who blends in with the crowd. How can a gun be without bullets?"

"Roland."

"Agreed? Of course, I won't let you starve."

"Well, I'm a chatterbox. I'll be miserable if you don't talk to me." Looking at the words in front of him, Roland burst into laughter.

Candle:?
The snake's head turned and looked around the room.

Father…

it's wired.
-
Who is the coolest now?

"You you you..."
-
Who is the best?

"You, you, you."
-
What's her name?
"Lilith."
-
Ok?
"...Candle...You and Rose are dumber than pigs. 'Candle'? I guarantee that even an illiterate person would be more stupid than you—"
-
wrench.

"what."
-
My vision is a little blurry.

"…You and Rose are so clever that you keep burping, okay? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to come up with such a 'beautiful' name like 'Candle'."
-
The tone is wrong.

"… You blind idiot, I'm warning you, don't push me too far!"
-
I'm about to lose sight of anything.

"…I really want to praise you to death, Roland."
-
To be honest, I was going to call her 'Ivory', but Rose's name isn't bad either... Candle or Ivory?
-
Candles sound more interesting?
“You two…”

"As long as you are happy."

The pale flame lost its luster and drooped limply.

"My Lilith..."
-
It doesn't sound nice at all. Don't give anyone random names in the future.

"Yes, I'm sorry, King Roland."

Roland picked up the candle with a smile, stood up, pushed the chair away, and fell backwards on the bed without any image.

The slender white snake slid around his arm and landed on his neck.

"The Tail Swallower..."

"Candle, how big can you get?"

hiss.

"Oh? Can it be bigger than me?"

"Ask her what's bigger than yours."

Roland: ...
-
I am now glad that she cannot communicate with you.

"Don't be thankful. You don't understand how much knowledge she lacks, and she was given such a bad name."
-
She said she liked the name candle.

"She likes it even if you call her a hoe."
-
If you like, I can give it to you.

"I don't like it."
-
What about cauliflower?

Flame raised his middle finger.

Roland smiled so much that his mouth never closed.

In fact, compared to the Tail Eater, he was more curious about the last ability of the candle.

Fairy ring.

Create a dream world that is unique to you in the sleeping world - perhaps some high-level ritualists can do it, but Little Candle is just an ordinary alien.

"You've redefined ordinary."

Roland turned over and propped up his head, circling his fingers in front of the snake's head, watching her flick the pink tongue on her fingertips.

Very itchy.

"Have you ever heard of a fairy named 'Aurora'?"

hiss.

No?

Aurora...

I haven't been in that dense forest for a long time.

"Let me see the Fairy Ring, Little Candle." Roland touched the snake's head and said, "We have to go to the Sleeping World first? What do you want me to do?"

The white snake lay on Roland's chest, staring at him quietly.

then.

She shifted her gaze to Roland's wrist.

Slid slowly over.

open mouth.

Two fangs pierced his wrist.

A strange power was injected into Roland's forearm, and gradually condensed into a special character invisible to the naked eye in his flesh and blood.

This is a text that seems to have never been circulated in the market, or it seems to be a dead language.

The characters mean:

key.
