After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the table briefly and returned to their respective rooms.

Belinda had already begun to prepare for her end-of-year exams, while Lowe was back in her study.

He rummaged around the room, tossing and turning for a long time, and finally got what he wanted.

A stack of pale yellow hard cardboard.

In this life, parents often write articles and books, and cardboard is often used to make the cover of the manuscript. But now Loviti had something else to do with him.

He's going to make a set of cards out of that paper.

"Although there is no shortage of equipment and tools at home, I don't know how to frame them...... It is estimated that the quality of the production will not be very good. ”

"But it's just for personal use, and if you're careful, it shouldn't be easily damaged."

Pinch the cardboard, the hardness, elasticity and thickness are appropriate. Although it is not as good as the professional plastic seal printing paper in the previous life, it can already meet its own needs very well.

Putting the cardboard aside, Lowe sat back down in front of the easel and picked up the wooden ruler.

Using thin lines, he neatly divides the largest sheet of watercolor paper into 20 grids, each of which is a standard 4×6 inches long and wide, leaving a certain gap between the grids.

"78 cards...... Four sheets of watercolor paper are required. ”

Lowe intends to hand-draw a set of tarot cards.

This thing is one of the most popular divination tools in previous lives and is sought after by people all over the world. It is somewhat similar in structure to poker – in fact, it is said that the origin of tarot cards is to have evolved from the card games of the early Western courts.

There are also different tarot systems, the most famous of which is the historic "Marseille Tarot" system, and the "Vite Tarot" system, which is the most widely circulated and accepted in later generations.

What Luo Wei chose was "Witt Tarot". It consists of 22 "Great Arcana" cards that symbolize the "Fool's Journey" and 56 "Little Arcana" court cards that represent the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth. Compared with the Marseille Tarot, Witt is more refined, the imagery system is more complete and practical, and it is the easiest to promote.

As for why he drew tarot cards......

The reason is simple, there are business opportunities.

From Uncle Lawrence's advice in the sewers, Lowe keenly noticed that this world has natural shortcomings for metaphysical things such as "future and fate".

Perhaps because "magic" itself places a strong emphasis on the concept of the present world, there seem to be few people in the world who specialize in predicting and divination.

There may be astrology, crystal ball divination, and the like in the wizarding world, but that's something exclusive to wizards, and it's too far away from the Muggle world.

At least as far as Lowe could remember, there was no systematic knowledge of divination in the Muggle world. There are a lot of things like black magic, secret rituals, curses, and so on.

Is it possible that people are not at all curious about their future?

The answer is clearly no.

It just so happened that when Luo Wei in his previous life undertook a certain project, he focused on the study of tarot cards and related systems out of professional requirements - although he is not a very professional tarot master, he can still do a simple divination for ordinary people.

At that time, more than half of the people in the project team would ask him to do life divination in their spare time. As to whether it will be fulfilled...... Actually, no one cares.

Because of this, he also gained a lot of opposite-sex relationships.

"Hey...... I feel like the size is still a little bigger. ”

Lowe stretched out his hand and compared it on the drawing paper, and the area of a piece of paper was almost the same as the palm of his hand. It is foreseeable that after it is made, it will be very uncomfortable to shuffle or hold.

But there is no way, if the size is too small, it will be difficult to draw the card surface by yourself.

"So be it."

"Let's start with Grand Arcana."

Luo Wei closed his eyes and recalled carefully for a moment, then picked up the pen and began to quickly start styling on each card face.

The familiar sense of "settled" came back to me.

He soon immersed himself in a strange state, his hands moving constantly, but his vision and surroundings seemed to change.

From the bags of the "fools", puppies, cliffs.

to the "Magician's" Scepter, Star Coins, Holy Grail, and Sword.

From the waterholes, angels and paths of "moderation".

to the auspicious clouds, dancers and friezes of the "world".

Countless subtle but wonderful images are connected in the picture, and the convergence is not a rich and magnificent picture, but a vast starry sky.

In the vast universe, there seems to be some kind of hidden and imperceptible ribbon that communicates the picture with the painter's divine thoughts, and this mysterious connection goes straight to the depths of the universe, allowing people to feel the vast vitality from it.

Luo Wei can truly realize that he is not simply painting, but through the pen in his hand, he interprets the connection and resonance of an entire life group.

This esoteric experience is unprecedented.

So much so that when he came back to his senses, he was already drenched in sweat.

The 78 card faces have already been drawn - 20 watercolor sheets are spread out on the ground, and the various card faces seem to form a sea of flowers, surrounding Luo Wei sitting in the middle.

As for the time...... The sunlight streaming in through the window tells you that you have spent the whole night in your study.

But Luo Wei was not tired at this time, but felt as if he had just taken a hot bath.

"It's amazing."

He picked up the drawing paper in front of him and looked at it carefully—the "King of Scepters" drawn on it turned out to be exactly the same as the card in his memory.

If we do not consider the painting method of watercolor, just looking at the position of various lines and images, it can be said that it is almost a one-to-one reproduction of the card surface in memory. Even the uncontrollable details of color and brushstrokes made him almost unable to make a difference.

"Do I have any perfect memories here?"

Lowe smiled self-deprecatingly.

He had already tried to write something like the protagonist of a time-traveling novel. As a result, not to mention any novels, even the texts that I memorized in middle and high school have now been completely forgotten.

"I don't know what time it is......"

Looking at the drawing paper spread on the floor, Luo Wei stretched and stood up, gathered them one by one, and put them on the desk.

When I walked out of the study, I saw Belinda open the door with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning." Lowe said hello and walked into the bathroom on the second floor.

"Morning ...... Hey? ”

When Belinda reacted, the bathroom door slammed shut.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and raised her voice to ask, "Why did you get up so early?" Or didn't you sleep at all last night? ”

"Didn't sleep."

"So what are you doing?"

"Draw."

When the little girl heard this, she scratched her hair in confusion, and went into the study. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the thick stack of drawing paper on the table.

When Luo Wei returned to the study, his sister was holding the drawing paper in a daze, obviously looking a little distracted.

Until Lowe reached out and shook it in front of her eyes.

"The bathroom is empty."

Belinda looked up: "These are all you drew last night?" ”

"That's right." Lowe nodded.

"Yes...... Postcards? ”

"Uh...... No. Luo Wei was speechless for a while, and after a pause, he reluctantly explained, "It's me...... Well, a set of cards invented. ”

"Cards? Poker? ”

There are playing cards in this world. Although the colors and patterns are different from those in previous lives, the structure is basically the same.

Lowe scratched his head and explained, "No. How so...... It is used for divination. ”

Belinda was even more puzzled when she heard this.

"Hey, you don't understand it now. When I'm done, I'll show you a direct demonstration. ”

Luo Wei raised his hand and brushed the unkempt hair on the top of his sister's head, and asked with a smile, "What time is it?" I'm already hungry. ”

"Wait." The younger sister rolled her eyes, carefully put the drawing paper back in its place, and then kicked her slippers and left the room, "Today's breakfast is still bread." ”

"No, I want to eat meat. Didn't Evan give the money? ”

"Then I'll go to Mrs. Brown's inn across the street and buy two and come back. One serving costs 3 nits. ”

"3 nits is 3 nits, buy, buy, buy! Your brother and I will be able to make money soon, and if you are lucky, you will be able to earn it today! Lowe shouted.

Belinda didn't reply and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Lowe continued his work on tarot cards.

The cardboard found in the study has its own simple textures. Therefore, Luo Wei does not need to draw the pattern on the back of the card, he only needs to cut off the card surface and stick it on the cardboard.

In the study, the paper cutting table and glue are all complete.

Lowe is sharp with his hands and feet. By the time Belinda called downstairs for dinner, he had already glued all the card surfaces to the cardboard, and when the glue was dry, he could cut the cardboard and make it all.

"Hey, hey, hey."

At the dining table, looking at a plate full of classic British full breakfast, Lowe couldn't help but rub his hands happily.

The crisp white plate is piled high with fried bacon, eggs, fried sausages, tomato beans, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, black pudding, and bread. The smell of barbecue made Luo Wei feel the urge to stuff the plate into his mouth.

"Actually, there is pork chop meat, but it is too expensive, so I didn't buy it." Belinda couldn't help but sigh when she saw him looking crazy, "And Mrs. Brown likes to fry the steaks so old that they can't chew them." ”

"In the future, we will have the money to buy it ourselves! I can still show you a hand. Luo Wei stuffed the sausage into his mouth and chewed hard, feeling the fragrant juice bloom on his taste buds, happy as a hamster.

"Don't. Your astonishing culinary skills...... I would feel sorry for the kitchen at home. ”

"Ahem." Luo Wei coughed dryly and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, when you go out to school, help me promote the neighbors." For today, I can offer free divination. ”

Belinda was surprised: "Are you actually serious? ”

"What do you mean by 'actually'...... I'm definitely serious! ”

"I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not." Lowe's face darkened.

"No, you have to try it for me first." Belinda suddenly raised her hand and poked her fork on another sausage in Lowe's plate, "Otherwise, this is mine!" ”

"Wrong, I was wrong! Good sister, I'll give you a try, I'll give you a try! Lowe immediately begged for mercy.

"That's pretty much it."

Belinda retracted the fork in satisfaction.

Luo Wei sighed, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.

Also. If you don't let your sister see it first, how can you expect her to work hard to promote it?
