The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Alfonso was dressed much more normally this time.He was wearing a brown casual suit that was easy to move, and he was about to go downstairs absent-mindedly, and almost bumped into Sirius.

Only then did he come back to his senses, exclaimed, and repeatedly asked if Sirius was okay.

Siles shook his head, subconsciously looking at Alfonso's clothes.

Alfonso also noticed his gaze, and shook his head and said: "The last meeting has passed...well, yes, it has passed." The chattering and talkative folklorist continued, "I think it is necessary to When you are in the country, you should still do as the Romans do... yes. Don't be a maverick."

Siles noticed a subtle amusement.

Siles listened quietly, and when Alfonso stopped talking and was about to say goodbye to him, Alfonso suddenly coughed and said in a showy tone: "Don't think that the last gathering was just a group of people. Carnival of transvestites!"

Siles thought, he hadn't felt that way before, but Alfonso said that...uh...

Alfonso didn't notice Siles' mental activity, he just said to himself: "It's for the celebration of God's birthday!"

God's birthday celebration?

Siles was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered what it was.

Every October is always a busy time for people. On the one hand, the first semester of the students basically ends at this moment, and the parents have to be busy with the things after the children go home. On the other hand, at the end of October, there is Antinam On the birthday, many activities are also born.

For example, the winter holiday market, such as the carnival on the birthday of God.For another example, for the principality and the church, the celebration of the birthday of God.

The God's Birthday celebration is always the busiest time of the year in the Principality of Const, bar none.Under the circumstances that Anti-Nam is the only god today, even if he doesn't seem to care much about these false names, the believers and other human beings below dare not arbitrarily weaken his dignity.

Therefore, the celebration of God's birthday is getting bigger and more lively every year.

Siles thought for a while and said, "The Grand Duke wants to develop the Land of Never Embers, so he specially mixed elements of other cultures into this year's celebration?"

Alfonso was about to speak, but when he heard Siles say this, he exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost: "How do you know!"

Siles said, "Conjecture."

Alfonso looked at him in disbelief: "You are too sharp."

This is the second time Siles has been praised as "sharp".Anthony Finn said the same about him before, he was just a brat, and now Alfonso said the same, Siles was even more embarrassed.

He whispered: "This is just... a reasonable inference."

Alfonso shook his head, and just said: "This is not something that most people can think of immediately." He thought for a while, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Siles, "I think I should hand you friendship palm."

Siles took it, and then laughed: "Are you an honorary professor at Ramifa University?"

"Yes, but I don't need to teach." Alfonso said, "The group of children are too mischievous. I just want to choose a few qualified students from them to be my apprentices."

While he was talking, he suddenly realized something, so he looked at Sirius with that hellish look again.

"I also teach at the University of Ramifa, History of Silence," said Siles. "Trust me, it's a coincidence. I just found this job a while ago."

Alfonso's eyes widened, and then he said slowly: "It's horrible, my colleague and I lived in the same apartment, and it turned out that we didn't know about it for two months."

Siles couldn't help laughing.

He thought about hearing that Angela Clayton was his student today...and then met Alfonso, a colleague...it was amazing.

Alfonso sighed for a while, and then said, "No wonder I heard from Mrs. Finn that you will be moving out tomorrow. Are you planning to live in a university dormitory?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Siles couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to live on campus?"

Alfonso shook his head: "I don't stay in the school most of the time. The location of La Mifa University is really remote, I don't want to. However, I will go to the school occasionally, and I can drop by when the time comes you.

"If you need anything, you can also write to me. I'm more than welcome."

Siles smiled and thanked him.

Alfonso then bid him farewell and went out to attend to his own affairs.He always seems to be out at this hour.

Thinking of the footsteps in the corridor at night when he met Alfonso last time... Siles suddenly had a trace of doubt.Is that Alfonso?Or... someone else?

Siles stood there, couldn't help thinking for a moment, then shook his head, left the dark, drowsy corridor, and returned to his warm room.

He sat down, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.Thinking of moving house and tidying up the office tomorrow, Siles couldn't help but feel a headache, and felt that his back was already hurting now.

Fortunately, he has no class on Monday.

...but going to the Historical Society on Monday afternoon.

Siles sighed heartily.

As early as a week ago, during the interview, he had already obtained his own course schedule.

There is no class on Monday; there is a professional elective on Tuesday morning and a public elective in the evening; there is no class on Wednesday; there is another public elective on Thursday afternoon; Friday morning is also a professional elective.

At first glance, he has plenty of time, but if you count writing papers, historical society courses, Grenfell's invitation, and apprenticeships that have not yet been confirmed, his time schedule is as tight as that on Earth. high school students.

...he still has time to write novels.

Oops, sounds more like a high school student.

Siles had a headache.

Thinking of writing a novel, he took out the novel that Grenfell had given away just now, as well as the two bestsellers he had bought at the book seller's bazaar, and began to browse through them.

Needless to say, Ms. Antonia Cumming's detective detective novels do have love and hatred, but they point to murder cases; the latter two adventure novels mainly highlight a thrill rather than a girlish feeling.

...girly feelings.

Sirius frowned slightly troubled.

He is also not very good at asking him, a big man, to directly write about this kind of love affairs.But he can find another way.

After thinking for a moment, Siles wrote a line on the draft paper: The lonely knight hiding in the dark avenges love.After a while, he added another line: saved by love again.

He thought for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

First, it can ensure that the male protagonist is liked by female readers; second, it can ensure that male readers are arguing about red and white roses.

Novelists from Earth must have the ability to lead topics like this—although this novel is only two lines now.

He put down the draft paper, put aside his thoughts about it for the time being, and began to pack his things instead.Most of the items, such as clothing, have actually been packed into cardboard boxes a few days ago.

The rest that needs to be cleaned up now are his teaching plans, documents, books and the like.He put them all into a cardboard box.The manuscript from Professor Kabell, which added two points of spirituality in one breath, was stuffed into the bottom of the carton by him with his eyes closed.

Then, he packed some daily necessities and some miscellaneous things.

In the end, three neat boxes were stacked there, and the whole room seemed empty.

Siles stood there, stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath.

This is the 400th year of the Mist Period, July 7th.This is the beginning of a brand new year, and no one knows what the future will hold.

For Siles, starting tomorrow, his life will be on the right track in the true sense.After coming to this world, he has met many people, known many things, and gained a lot of knowledge.

He played a young man who was about to become a university professor.But his soul is still that alien from the earth.

The road home is still long.Siles sighed secretly.

Fortunately, he is no longer a young man in his early 20s in the true sense.He peacefully suppressed all emotions slowly but firmly, sat there for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom, and then fell into a deep sleep early.

At seven o'clock in the morning of the second day, Siles packed up everything and planned to call a rented carriage to help him move.But as he went downstairs, he met Bertram Finn who was about to go out.

When Bertram heard that he was moving, he kindly offered to drive Cilles there.

Siles was too embarrassed to bother Bertram, the Finn family had already helped him a lot.Mr. Bertram, however, was unrepentant, and said he was going to the East Side on some business matter.

He has just returned to Lamifa City, and he may have to be busy with socializing these few days.

So in the end, Sirius loaded his three cardboard boxes into the back seat of Bertram's car, and bid farewell to Mrs. Finn and Anthony—the latter had a face of resistance, but still waved at Sirius awkwardly. waved.

Siles sat in the co-pilot of the car and experienced the small car in this world with some novelty.

"First time in a car?"

"Yes." Siles realized, "It feels very stable."

"This is the cutting-edge technology of our era." Bertram replied, "It hasn't become popular in the Principality of Const yet, and it is more common in other countries."

Siles nodded, thinking of the energy issues in this world that he had been curious about before, so he asked, "How does this work?"

"Stardust." Bertram replied casually.

Siles was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear a particularly...how should I say, a gaudy name?

While driving carefully, Bertram glanced at Sirius and said, "Haven't heard of it?"

"No."

Siles felt the stability of this car—although the speed was not fast enough, he was very surprised that such a stable, convenient, and pollution-free means of transportation could appear in this era.

When he thought of the extraordinary power of this world, he couldn't help but wonder, is the star dust related to the enlightener?

"Star dust is a product of the land of no embers. It is a crystal that emits a faint light at night. Because it looks like a star, it was named star dust by the first person who discovered it, and later it was used. name."

Siles nodded.

Bertram went on to explain: "When the stardust is burned and heated, it can provide a stable energy output. A single stardust can drive the car for nearly ten hours.

"I'm not very clear about the specific principle. It is said that it was first discovered by the people of the Neverland tribe. They would use star dust to keep warm in the long winter.

"Then some merchants discovered some producing areas of Stardust and promoted it to some countries. But now many countries are still hesitant, because the production of Stardust is relatively small.

"I also bought a part of the Star Dust in Land of No Embers, so I bought a car by the way."

Siles was shocked.

After a while, he firmly asked Bertram: "Do you have a channel to invest in Stardust?"

"Investment?" Bertram asked subconsciously in surprise, and after a while, he said, "I know one or two businessmen who do this, but I haven't asked about Stardust... Do you think it has investment prospects? ?"

Not only is there!That's a golden rice bowl... no, a golden cornucopia!

Siles said calmly, "I think so."

Bertram nodded without doubting his statement, "I see. I'll go and ask."
