The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"left."

In the guest bedroom on the first floor of 32 Lowell Street, Cindo and Siles stood side by side.There was no guest bed in this room, so it looked empty, and it could be used to practice fighting.

Of course, speaking of practice, Siles thought he had to get used to this kind of fighting first.

The combat method Qin Duo taught him was not complicated. He tailored a battle plan for Siles more—using [Akamala's glasses frame], Siles can achieve excellent long-range attacks .

"And that's a little bit safer for you, too," said Cinder, "and it's more reassuring for me."

Cendo has even prepared a time track for Siles in advance.According to him, it just came along with the files of the Praia family, and it is a collection of the Praia family.

Just because this timing has not yet arrived, he did not urge Siles to practice fighting before.Of course, now he had to rush his beloved Professor Noel.

He knew that Siles had two good defensive time rails, but he didn't have any offensive time rails.And with [Akamala's Spectacle Frame], the time track he brought to Siles can have a very unexpected effect.

The time track is a pen, which can also be used for writing at ordinary times.

"However, I don't know if the nib of this pen always falls off because of the craftsmanship." Qin Duo shrugged, "Later, an ancestor of the Playa family transformed it into...a nib that can be ejected. , A sharp weapon like a bow and arrow.

"If you use it a lot, this pen can gradually be used as a time rail to fight. The main part used for attack is the metal piece of the pen tip, which is very concealed. I think it is very suitable for you."

Siles looked at the pen with some surprise.He thought that the ancestor of the Playa family might have extraordinary hands-on transformation ability.

He used this pen under the guidance of Qin Duo. He only needed to hold the pen and write in his daily posture, and flick the pen, then the ceremony would take effect.

In Siles' vision, the blue light turned into an invisible metal sheet, flew straight forward, pierced the wooden stool, and splashed a burst of sawdust.

The chair was originally placed in the kitchen, and there were many patterns carved on the chair, so they moved it here as a practice tool.

Siles couldn't help saying, "This looks very sharp."

"Of course." Qin Duo said, "The ancestor transformed a pen into a sharp weapon, and then transformed it back into a pen. As a weapon, this pen is sharp enough; as a pen, it is also good enough to write."

Siles said with great interest: "It sounds like this ancestor intentionally created a time track?"

Qin Duo nodded, and added: "The Praia family has this habit. For example, the 'blood copy', which is the most commonly used power method for blood descendants of old gods like me, so every Praia family The blood descendants of the old gods in the world will perform a copy before they die.

"Copying the 'God's Model' requires a lot of willpower, and it's easy to be tainted, and then go into extreme madness. Therefore, they only do this copying before they die."

Siles suddenly realized, and felt that Qin Duo had solved a long-standing doubt in his heart.

Qin Duo added: "However, the ritual of 'self-reappearance' you proposed is a very good way to try..."

Siles frowned involuntarily, and said, "Even so, you don't have to force yourself to face the power of the gods."

"I understand what you mean." Qin Duo said, "I just want to be prepared. I will only try if it is a last resort."

Siles hesitated to speak, and finally acquiesced to Qin Duo's decision.In this regard, Qin Duo may also be more experienced than him.

"It's time for you to continue practicing." Qin Duo reminded him, "If you want to change the target of the attack, you need to use... the guidance of 'mind'. I told you before..."

Feel free to move?Siles stared at a certain pattern on the chair, feeling a moment of confusion - but, how to make Shigui realize that he wanted it to go there...

In the next second, the invisible blue radiance shot with a "swoosh", piercing that spot accurately.

The speed was so fast that Sirius himself didn't even realize it.

Qin Duo said with some surprise: "You are such a genius."

Siles: "..."

The genius himself still doesn't understand what's going on.

Siles could not help wrestling with the matter.He pondered for a while what was going on and why he was able to manipulate the pen's attack range.

He tried again for a while, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing.He was looking for a reference for reference, and then suddenly realized that the closest thing to this "heart moving at will" situation was the dice when he made a judgment.

When he was silently judging someone's situation in his mind, the scene was almost exactly the same as now, except that he needed to change the silent words to "attack that place".

He didn't need to explain to the pen which place it was, it seemed that his thoughts had already guided him to exactly what it was, just like when he was judging, he clearly pointed out the object of judgment, but now he only needs to give orders to the pen.

What a magical power, Sirius couldn't help sighing.

Compared with the time track used by other enlighteners today, the time track and rituals of the Praia family naturally have the temperament of this mysterious and ancient family.

Siles made several attempts, slowly making sure he hit a specific spot on the chair.Then he tried places farther outside the window, such as a certain flower in the garden, a certain leaf on a branch, and so on.

Cendo also let him try the moving objects later, for example, Cendo threw a doll and asked Siles to manipulate the pen to attack the doll flying in the air.But in this case, his accuracy is much worse.

However, it was precisely this scene that made Siles suddenly realize that this kind of practice was like marksmanship practice in an earth shooting game.

Hand-eye coordination, perspective movement, dynamic vision...it's similar enough.He couldn't help thinking that.

Once a suitable reference object was found, the success rate of Siles suddenly increased.The speed of his progress even surprised Qin Duo.But Siles was thinking in his heart, after all, he also played shooting games.

...well, in his 30s he might not be as strong as he was in his 20s, but still, that awareness remains.

Using time rails to attack does not require hand speed.he thought so.

When it was close to four o'clock, the practice this time was over.Although the amount of exercise was not too much, Siles still felt a feeling that he had not seen for a long time. It was probably similar to the feeling of playing a game on Earth and then finding that he performed well.

Moreover, as he got used to the pen, he realized that there was no need to shake the pen at all, he only needed to move the pen a little, and the invisible attack would appear.

It was kind of like a hidden weapon of some sort.Siles thought.It's just that he can see in this wonderful vision.

At the end of the afternoon's practice, Qindo kissed Siles affectionately, and then said: "You are really impressive."

Siles smiled softly: "You seem to be coaxing a child, Qindo."

"Then what should I say?" Qin Duo tilted his head, his emerald green eyes were fixed on Sirius, "I am fascinated by your demeanor?"

Siles pondered for a moment, then said honestly, "It feels even more stinky."

Qin Duo sighed: "You are such a hard-to-please man." He paused, and suddenly laughed again, "But I love you so much, so it doesn't matter."

"I love you too. Time to get down to business, Cinder," Siles said.

"Okay." Qin Duo said, "Tomorrow afternoon, if I remember correctly, you are going to participate in that... Geisha Literature Society activity?"

Siles nodded: "The theme of the event was decided by the two apprentices. It seems to be a book club. If you want, you can also come to participate, Assistant Professor Qin Duo."

Qin Duo laughed softly, and he said very frankly: "If I go, I may not have the patience to study, and will only focus on you. I will wait for your event to end in the office."

Siles didn't force it, so he nodded: "I will find you when the time comes."

They changed their clothes and planned to go out.Qin Duo changed into a formal suit, and Siles just tidied up his clothes a little.It was rare to see Qin Duo wearing such formal clothes, but it made Sirius feel bright.

This man from Kansas with an exotic appearance, although he always has the demeanor of an explorer of the Never Embers, but when he really dresses up, he also has the demeanor of an heir to a noble family.

"Do you like this dress?" Qindo adjusted the bow tie, looking at herself in the mirror a little unaccustomed.

"I think it's pretty good," said Siles.

Qin Duo looked at himself, then at Siles, and said, "I seem to be dressed like you."

Siles was startled, and stood beside Qin Duo.At first glance, if you don't look at the appearance, hair color, etc., then the two men are both in suits and leather shoes, and they are indeed very similar.

If it was just a glimpse in the dark, it is really possible to confuse the two of them.

"Then you have to stand up straighter," said Siles.

Qin Duo was obviously about the same height as him, but he was always lazy and unwilling to stand up straight.

"Okay, okay, listen to you." Jindo stood up a little bit, and then said, "It's my honor to be similar to you."

Siles shook his head: "No, Qindo. You are who you are, and there is no need to be similar to others."

"You are not someone else." Qin Duo said, "Of course, I understand what you mean, I just said... It is the greatest honor for a believer to be close to the gods he believes in."

Siles turned his head and kissed Qindo's lips in response, then sighed and said, "We can't continue talking here, it's time to go out."

"Let's go then." Qin Duo said, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Siles and the Finn family ate at a restaurant near Bain's bookstore, which was a typical Conster dish.Bertram seemed to hold partial ownership of the restaurant, so he took over the entire restaurant in a very large row.

However, there were only four of them who actually came to eat.

Mrs. Finn looked radiant, on the one hand because she had dressed up for this dinner, on the other hand, she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Siles sat down, and asked very curiously: "Mrs. Finn, did something good happen to you?"

On the side, the father and son Bertram and Anthony looked at the ceiling at the same time. It seemed that they had heard Mrs. Finn nagging countless times in the past, so they were tired of listening to it now.

Mrs. Finn didn't think so. She said very happily: "Yes! Sirius, haven't I been doing some handicraft work with Mrs. Collens before?

"During this period of time, the weather was too cold. I heard that many people in the west city were in a state of lack of food and clothing, so I discussed with Mrs. Collens to sell the previous finished products, and then sell the sold ones. The money is used to help the poor.

"It turned out to be a lot of money! Of course, I have to thank my Mr. Finn. If it weren't for his help, then our two handicrafts would not have been sold."

Having said that, Mrs. Finn couldn't help but look at her husband.

Bertram naturally said at this time: "No, madam, because you do quite well indeed."

Mrs. Finn seemed to be enjoying herself.

Siles also praised a few words, but then, he thought about it, and asked: "Since you and Mrs. Collens have tried it, why don't you try to sell the things you made in the store?" ?”

Mrs. Fane looked at Sirius in surprise, not expecting him to bring up the idea.

Sillies said honestly: "I mentioned to you before that a friend provided me with a vacant store, which is located in the underground black market in West City. I have been thinking about doing some business.

"I considered children's toys before, but these just don't seem to be enough, and they don't quite fit the style of the underground black market. My mother once recommended handicrafts to me in a letter and thought it was a moderate choice.

"It just so happens that you and Mrs. Collens have been doing this. If you are willing to participate and sell some of your handicrafts in the store, then it is also very suitable and can attract more customers.

"I remember that Mrs. Collens has been putting the things she made in a store for consignment before? Then she can put some of the goods in my store, and I can give up more share.

"It's just a trial as the store hasn't officially opened yet and I'm not sure how business will be.

"Besides, since the store is located in the underground black market, its location is more secretive, so I intend to adopt a more alternative way of doing business, which may require more manpower.

"It was planned to let the homeless children in West City be responsible, but they are children after all, and it may be fine to run errands in the shop, but if something happens, adults need to come forward.

"So, you and Mrs. Collens—and perhaps Mrs. Lampson, you may have heard what happened to this lady from Mrs. Collens—I very much hope that you can take part in the business of this shop."

Siles said this with great sincerity.

On the one hand, Siles had always wanted to run the shop, but he didn't have much time himself; on the other hand, he realized that Mrs. Fern seemed to be taking some pleasure in the experience that "hobbies can actually make money."

As it happened, he also wanted to find a way to help Louisa Lampson.

"Let us ladies get involved in the business?" Mrs. Finn said with some surprise, "but... can this work?"

She subconsciously looked at Bertram.

Bertram took Mrs. Finn's hand and said gently: "You can try it, Irene. I think you will be bored if you stay at home all the time? Why don't you go and talk to Mrs. Colrance, and This Mrs. Lampson that Sirius said, try it together."

"Mrs. Lampson . . . Louisa," whispered Mrs. Finn. "I do know her. I've heard Harriet speak of her. A poor widow who has lost her husband and her son."

Siles said: "If you have this idea, you can talk to Mrs. Collens and Mrs. Lampson. I will talk to Eric later. At that time, we can talk about the details of the store. The way of operation. Maybe wait until January next year, this store can be opened."

Mrs. Finn hesitated again and again, and finally nodded slowly: "This is indeed... This is indeed a good idea." She seemed to be relieved suddenly, "Thank you, Sirius."

Anthony knocked on the rice bowl boredly.He said, "Are you done with business, adults? Can we eat?"

Bertram reprimanded him with feigned anger, "How rude!"

Anthony's eyes widened, and he deliberately said, "But isn't it just for dinner that we go out today?"

Everyone else couldn't help laughing.

Bertram couldn't be angry anymore, he turned to look at Sirius, and said with a smile: "Siles, you wanted me to participate in the business of this store before, but I didn't agree to it; but now you're taking Ailes instead. It's interesting that Linla went to do business."

Siles also smiled, and said, "It's just a coincidence."

After he did invite Mrs. Finn, Siles realized that it was indeed a good choice.

Firstly, Mrs. Finn has this intention, and it seems that she really wants to find some self-worth outside of the family; secondly, Mrs. Finn has lived in the West City for many years, and she may know the situation of the West City better than Sirius.

Thirdly, Mrs. Finn had a merchant husband after all.Even though Bertram said that he doesn't want to participate in this kind of business in a short time, once Mrs. Finn joins in, can Bertram really remain indifferent?He will definitely give some suggestions and ideas.

In addition to these three points, once Mrs. Finn participated, Harriet Collens and Louisa Lampson would also have a job opportunity.Siles sees it as the best of both worlds.

He was more than happy to let the store make some money for his friends, especially the Colens family, and Louisa who was now living alone in the West Side.

After talking about it, the dishes began to be served.It will be next year in a few days, so their topics will inevitably revolve around what happened this year.

Of course, they also logically mentioned the New Year's Eve arrangements.

New Year's Eve this year is on a Wednesday.According to the custom of the Principality of Const, there will be a holiday on that day and the first day of the new year after that.

Siles had no class on Wednesday, so he would meet Grenfell first in the morning, and then spend the afternoon and evening with Qindo.

This was his idea, but he hadn't talked to Qindo about the day's arrangements.After all, Qin Duo also has her own affairs, maybe it would be better to wait until that time is close to make a decision.

"At that time, the Church of the Past should hold a very grand celebration." Bertram said, "The Church of the Past will only do this every year on God's Birthday and New Year's Eve."

Siles nodded knowingly, and he said, "Then there must be many high-level people attending such a celebration."

"Indeed." Bertram nodded.

They then extended the topic to the current situation at the top of the Principality, as well as other climate and economic issues.However, when they realized that neither Mrs. Finn nor Anthony was very interested in these matters, they changed the topic tacitly.

After a meal, Mr. Finn and Mrs. Finn went to pay, while Sirius chatted with Anthony.

Siles said, "How is Jimmy doing?"

"It's not bad," Anthony said. "They found a shabby house, remodeled it a little bit, and made it their home. Anyway, it's better than the previous situation of nowhere. The girls, too, Jimmy The money you gave them went to the girls."

Siles nodded, feeling a little relieved.He said, "I still need to entrust them with one thing."

Anthony learned of this by accident, and said, "Just say what you want. The five hundred dukes you gave them before have always flattered them, and they want to do something for you. However, this is also a mutual benefit."

Siles thought to himself, Anthony really has made some progress, and he even knows about mutual benefit.

Anthony asked, "So, what do you want them to investigate?"

"Darwin Hospital, the one in the West Side," said Siles, "I need to know some rumors about the children in this hospital, and a doctor named Hubert Fox.

"In addition, there is a child who was said to have wandered in the West City. His name is Nanisar, and he only knows this name. I want to ask Jimmy and the others if they know about this child's past."

Anthony listened carefully, and then said: "Darwin Hospital, Hubert Fox, Nanisar. Well, I see. You wait for good news from Jimmy."

Siles thanked him and wanted him to convey the same thanks to Jimmy.

Anthony waved his hand, then sighed suddenly, he said: "You are such a weirdo. Obviously Jimmy is very grateful to you, and you have been helping those homeless children, but you also thank them.

"Although Jimmy is my friend, I have to admit that they should do something for you. You still want to use the business of that store to help them, don't you?"

Siles was slightly stunned, and then said: "However, I need their help now. One yard is equal to one yard."

Anthony shrugged: "Maybe this is your principle."

"Indeed," said Siles.

He can't simply equate the help he provides to others with the help others provide to him, as if it is an equivalent exchange in a certain sense.He doesn't like this concept, he would rather make everything clearer, and would rather be at odds with the social rules of this world.

However, he is no longer what he was when he was young.He was well aware of his character, and had no intention of pandering to the more commonplace.

Anthony looked at Siles with a look of surprise in his eyes.He seemed to understand something, and seemed more confused; but before he could ask more, his parents had paid and returned.

Bertram said: "It's strange. It's winter, but the price of food has become cheaper."

"Perhaps because the recent weather conditions are not as bad as they were some time ago, the transportation of ingredients has become much more stable," said Siles.

"It is indeed possible." Bertram replied, "When the Blight Wasteland development plan is actually completed, then our life will become more convenient."

"I hope so," Sirius said.

He said good-bye to the Finns and walked on to 6 Hayward Street in the cold winter night.

This restaurant is not far from 32 Lowell Street.Siles originally wanted to go back directly, but for some reason, his footsteps inadvertently walked in the direction of Lowell Street.

In the distance, he saw, the familiar window of 32 Lowell Street was still dark.Maybe, he thought, Cindor wasn't home yet.

But just as he was thinking this way, the windows of No. 32 Lowell Street suddenly lit up with warm yellow lights.

Siles couldn't help but startled.When he reacted, the corners of his lips raised slightly.He showed a gentle smile, but unfortunately, although this smile was because of Qindo, Qindo had no chance to see him.

What a coincidence, he thought—Jindor, what a coincidence.We met at this time.

He stood there for a while, looking at the light from his lover.After a long time, he exhaled lightly, and then went to the place where the light was.

Qin Duo came to open the door and saw Siles standing outside, he couldn't help but said with some surprise: "You are here. Have you finished eating too?"

"Yes," said Siles, "I saw the light on here, and I came over to say hello to you."

Cinder leaned forward and hugged him.

They were still standing at the door, and Qin Duo had already taken off his coat and was only wearing a sweater.Siles said, "Don't you feel cold?"

"A little bit, but when I think it's you, I don't think so." Qin Duo whispered.

Siles sighed helplessly: "Do you want to catch a cold too?" He paused, "I should go. Qin Duo, go back quickly."

"...How about hugging for a while longer?" Qin Duo didn't intend to let go at all.

Siles was silent for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to pull down the zipper of his coat, letting the large coat barely wrap Cendo.It's hard enough for the coat, it's not an easy job.

Qin Duo put his arms around Sirius' waist contentedly, and he said, "You are so kind." He murmured, "There is no one better than you."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "I feel a surge of elation at the thought that such a fine you is mine. I wish I could show you to the world."

Siles couldn't help but laugh.He likes this—the feeling of Qin Duo muttering some childish love words.

They hugged quietly for a while before saying goodbye to each other.

When Siles returned to 6 Hayward Street, he paid no attention to the letters in the first-floor drawing room.It wasn't until Lorenzo, who lived on the second floor, heard his return and poked his head out of the room on the second floor to remind him, that Siles didn't know that someone had written to him.

"Thank you, Lorenzo, I'll get it right away," Sirius said, and then he hesitated a little. "You look a little... haggard?"

Lorenzo was almost crying. He said discouragedly: "I'm still grading my homework... I made an appointment with my friends to go out on New Year's Eve! But these students can't finish their homework! It's really frustrating Headache."

Siles comforted him and said, "There is still more than a week, you have time."

"I hope so." Lorenzo said. "It's my own fault too. I wanted to learn from you and assign more homework to the students, so as to give me a bad breath when I was in school. In the end, alas, it hurt me in the end." Own."

He waved his hand to say goodbye to Siles, and staggered back to his room, probably to continue grading homework.

Siles: "..."

Lorenzo, what you do to others is what you do to yourself.He didn't assign so many homework to his students just to vent his anger when he was a student... Speaking of which, did he really assign so many homework?

He hasn't brought over Earth's sea tactics yet.he thought.

Siles turned and went to the first floor to get the letter.From the Church of yesteryear.

He was a little surprised, not knowing why the church wrote to him in the past.After he returned to the third floor, lit the stove, changed his clothes, and opened the envelope to read, he learned that the letter was to invite him to the church's New Year's Eve celebration.

At the same time, in addition to the very formal invitation letter, a piece of letter paper was also attached to the letter.The person who wrote the letter was Archbishop Grosvenor, but his words were rather vague.

"...

"I think you may always feel strange about the friendly attitude of the church in the past. I don't want you to misunderstand that we have any malicious intentions, or that we want to use you to do something.

"However, I think this is indeed a good day to be honest. Maybe when the last day of the year comes, we can sit down and have a good talk. I look forward to seeing you.

"..."

Siles frowned slightly, looking at the words on the letter paper, feeling a little subtle.

Grosvenor wants to talk to him?

This was exactly what Siles wanted to do, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet, and he didn't expect Grosvenor to send such an invitation to meet directly.

It can be deduced from the content of the letter that the church of the past did have some kind of goodwill towards him, and this kindness was based on some reason that Celes did not know.His attitude made Grosvenor realize that their kindness could backfire if they didn't talk candidly.

So, using the saying of New Year's Eve, Grosvenor sent a letter.

I have to say that Siles was really moved by this matter, because he was really curious about why the church had such a gentle and friendly attitude towards him in the past, and provided so much help.

If the [Shield Fragment] was a personal gift from Knight Commander Bunyan, then the two items, "Karacak's Diary" and "Akamala's Spectacle Frame", must have passed through the hands of Grosvenor.

Why?Siles couldn't help being confused.

He wrote it down in his notebook, and then he couldn't help but think that he wanted to spend this year's New Year's Eve with Qin Duo, but it seemed too late.Maybe that day, he can have lunch with Qindo?

Siles thought about it, and then put the letter in the drawer.After washing, he took out of his bag the manuscript he had brought back from Cindo, a document related to the relationship between Thaddeus and Pessonari.

If these two gods are mentioned at the same time, people will naturally think of the August Empire.That is the behemoth of the Imperial Age, and it is also the origin of the cultural field of people today.

There are many allusions and story prototypes, all from this country.As a scholar in the field of literature, Siles knows this well.

Behind the August Empire stood three gods, the god of mountains and rivers, the messenger of walking nature, Trisley; the god of death and disaster, the curtain at the end of death, Thaddeus; the god of fertility and life , spring blooming flowers, Pessonari.

The cooperation of these three gods used to be very good, and their honeymoon period lasted for a whole thousand years, which made the prosperity of the August Empire last for thousands of years.

However, after that, without knowing why, Thaddeus and Pessonari suddenly had contradictions and conflicts.Trisley couldn't heal the rift between them.

Subsequently, the August Empire also fell apart, and even became two completely hostile empires, each symbolizing life and death, and then started a war that lasted for a hundred years.

When this Lycardian follower wrote this manuscript, the August Empire had not completely collapsed, but it was in decline, and this gave Siles a glimpse of the situation at that time.

"...

"There is a huge difference between life and death, but everyone knows what life is, but they don't know what death is. Therefore, believers in death always carry fear and confusion in their beliefs. Know how you can be favored by the gods.

"Believers who were born on the contrary, they can face death more peacefully, because they have gone through their complete 'living' life. Their life has proved their belief, and death is only the end of their belief .

"So, the people of August are self-separated and contradictory in nature. When I set out on the journey, I heard that the people of August had such a chain of contempt.

"Believers of life think that believers of death do not live well, and believers of death think that believers of life do not treat death well; and believers of life and death look down on believers of nature at the same time, thinking that they only know how to travel.

"This opened my eyes. Perhaps this is also the experience of other countries that can only be harvested and heard on the journey. Only then did I understand why believers of my god always embark on journeys.

"...

"However, sometimes life and death believers can agree on some topics.

"For example, they all agree that human life should be meaningful and valuable—if they go deeper into what the value is, then they will quarrel again.

"Believers who give birth are because of life itself, and they need to add luster to their lives. In addition, perhaps because Pesonari itself symbolizes the relationship of reproduction, it is also very important for this group of believers to have offspring. Education is their topic of frequent discussion.

"Believers who die, they want to make their own death more valuable. Because no one knows what the world will be like after death. Even if they really believe in Thaddeus, death is very important to them. Mysterious and unknown experiences.

"So they try to make themselves big, to make themselves important. So that when they die, death itself becomes an event.

"As far as I know, believers in life and death are unexpectedly very close to believers in Atkinya. Perhaps, it is because it is easier for people to find the value of life in the fields of music, art, literature and other humanities.

"Of course, some people may find another way and try to cut in from other angles. But after all, there is the god Atkinya. Sometimes, people will habitually rely on and step into the realm where the god is.

"This is a very common thing, but when I write these words now, it makes me feel that this is also a very novel thing that is worth studying. Human psychology is really confusing.

"..."

Judging from the manuscript of this Lycardian believer, the believers of the two gods, Pessonari and Thaddeus, do have a feeling of contradiction and interweaving with each other.

On the one hand, life and death are diametrically opposed; on the other hand, life and death are topics they have to face.

This sense of contradiction permeates all aspects of these two groups of believers, their concepts, behaviors, daily life, and even the ethos of the August Empire.

The existence of Trisley and his followers can indeed bridge this problem.But the cracks are always there.Once the contradictions magnify, or the social situation does not look very good, the situation will deteriorate instantly.

The August Empire was indeed
