The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

The celebration of the birthday of the god is coming, and Grosvenor has no time to wipe the base of Antinam's statue in the nave of the church every day.

Therefore, when Siles came to the Central Cathedral, he met the Knight-Captain Benyan in the nave.

"Professor Noel, good morning." Bunyan greeted him, "What do you want to do today?"

"Good morning, Bunyan," said Siles. "I'm looking for Dominique. Is he there?"

"Yeah, he's still in that old office," Bunyan said, and then he said, "By the way, do you remember what the apostate stole? When will I contact you?"

Siles was slightly taken aback.It has been a long time since the matter of the list, Knight Commander Bunyan now mentioned the matter of remuneration, which made Siles a little stunned.

Bunyan said: "At that time, you were traveling with a businessman, and we planned to invite him to participate in a part of the Stardust business. And you, because you are the enlightener, so we prepared two time tracks and corresponding ceremony."

The Stardust Business and Two Timelines?Siles couldn't help thinking that the Church was really generous and caring enough in the past.

Speaking of Stardust, Sirius couldn't help asking: "Knight Commander Benyan, if you don't mind... I've heard something about Stardust, is Stardust always mined in the Land of No Embers?"

"Some of them are there." Bunyan thought for a while, and replied, "But not all of them are there. If you are curious, you can ask Dominic, he knows about it."

Dominic?Siles was slightly surprised to hear this message.

"I see." Sirius nodded.

Bunyan said, "Then you go to Dominic. I'll get the time track that will be given to you. I will wait for you here in the nave, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you." Sirius thanked him.

Bunyan laughed, his eyes slightly curved, and he said, "No, we should thank you."

Siles felt somewhat ashamed, so he shook his head, then went through the side door to look for Dominic in the back office.

As always, Dominic is still buried in heavy materials and documents.When Siles entered the door, he raised his head as if in a lifetime, stared blankly at Siles for a while, and then said loudly: "Ah, Professor Noel!"

Siles said, "Good morning. You look very busy?"

"There is no need to use interrogative sentences." Dominique said, shaking his head, "God's birthday is coming, and the whole city of Lamifa seems to be full of followers of those damned old gods."

"Who's there?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, you know that too." Dominique suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Do you still remember the torture seminar?"

Siles nodded.

Dominique then said: "As long as you remember. Members of this damned organization have recently caused troubles in the outskirts of Lamifah City, causing many people to report these guys to us.

"Either doing some weird self-punishing behavior, or outside the city...'practice', according to them, is fasting, meditation, asceticism and the like, but...

"Do you know the gourmet town in the southern suburbs?"

Siles was slightly startled, and then said in a low voice: "I know. Are they related to the gourmet town?"

"No, it's not the kind of relationship you imagined." Dominique shook his head, "Those lunatics are sitting outside the gourmet town, smelling the aroma of food, but would rather be so hungry that they swallow...

"They said it was a self-punishing, self-restraining behavior, and sooner or later they would feel their gods and wake up Bronkani. If you ask me, even if Bronkani really noticed their behavior and woke up, That's what made them angry."

Dominique's words were merciless, and Siles also felt that the behavior of these followers of the old gods was very strange.

Siles said, "At least they didn't do anything indecent."

"No?" Dominique sneered, "That's not nothing. I don't know what to say about one of them... Anyway, after smelling the aroma of the food, he didn't hold back and rushed into the gourmet town , Eating crazily, almost strangling himself to death."

Siles: "..."

He thought for a long time, and finally didn't know how to evaluate this behavior, so he could only keep silent.

Dominic shook his head and sighed: "Now that I think about it, I used to be one of them...I'm afraid people will think I was a lunatic at that time. Anyway, we are already talking to the Dwight family, and I hope they can Restrain..."

"Dwight?" Siles suddenly interrupted Dominique.

Dominic froze for a moment, and said: "Yes. The Dwight family is the backstage sponsor of the torture seminar. According to rumors, Esmond, the culprit who has gradually become crazy in the torture seminar in recent years, is precisely A member of the Dwight family."

Siles frowned slightly.

Dominic asked, "What's wrong?"

"I had a student who was a member of the Dwight family," Siles said.

What he didn't say was that there might be an older Dwight in the senior management of the Historical Society.

"Oh, that's a coincidence," Dominique said, not looking surprised by the incident, or wishing that Siles would be wary of the student, but he said, "You don't have to worry, though.

"From what we know of the Dwight family, there is a big gap between the perceptions of the young and the old. Furthermore, the funding for the torture seminar is only a part of their family business, and it can even be said to be a small part."

Siles nodded slowly.

Is there a big gap between the perceptions of young people and older people?Judging from Horatio Dwight's daily performance, Siles doesn't quite agree with Dominique's words, although Horatio's behavior is not out of the ordinary.

Since Horatio had founded the Chronicle of Tribulations society, Siles was not so surprised that the Dwight family funded the torture seminar.He just felt a subtle... uneasiness?

He thought, maybe it was because God's birthday was coming, and everyone seemed to be saying that someone would want to do something on God's birthday... So he became sensitive.

Dominique said with a little helplessness: "In short... I hope they can restrain themselves in the future." He muttered in a low voice, "If this continues, I really don't want to bother with these lunatics."

Siles said, "I hope you get what you want."

"I hope so." Dominic stretched his waist and sighed long, "By the way, professor, I haven't asked you yet, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Siles said: "For the matter of Professor Cabell."

Dominique looked at him slightly surprised.

Siles paused for a while, and then talked about what he had investigated some time ago, such as Professor Kabell's investigation of the tribal ruins discovered by Alfonso seven years ago, and the possible origin of the pen.In addition, he also mentioned the possibility of a "safe house".

As he said that, Dominic's expression gradually became stunned.

When Siles stopped narrating, the dark-skinned man thought about it, and sighed sincerely: "Professor Noel, you are a more competent investigator than me."

Siles was silent for a moment, then said, "This is what I should do."

After all, he replaced Professor Kabell. Besides, the balance necklace in the office was still quietly lying on the bookshelf.

Dominic shook his head and didn't say much about it.He could see that Professor Noel had a very calm and self-possessed personality, and this kind of straightforward praise might not be suitable for him.

Dominique then said: "The safe house... We also guessed this way, but we couldn't find any evidence. But... You said that he has some relationship with the Folklore Society, which is a direction we haven't been able to find.

"Investigate in this direction, maybe we can find Kabel's hidden connections and relationships... Folklore..."

He murmured in a low voice, his voice gradually getting lower and lower, as if he was thinking about what they had overlooked in the past investigations.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes and said, "Kabel's sister!"

"What?" Siles was slightly taken aback.

Dominique said: "I have seen the information of Cabel's sister. She was also a student of La Mifah University. She majored in folklore at that time. However, after she graduated, she did not engage in work in this field, but It is to run the shop at home.

"Nevertheless, this is probably the most convenient channel Kabel can access related to folklore!"

Siles nodded.He thought that Professor Kabell's sister probably knew something, but he didn't know that it was related to Professor Kabell's disappearance... Or, was she deliberately concealing it?

Thinking of this, Siles couldn't help asking: "So, where is Professor Kabell's brother?"

"His brother?" Dominic thought about it carefully, "That seems to be a lazy man who lives on the dividends of the store, doing nothing all day long."

Siles thought for a while and said, "Where does he live?"

"West Side, I remember." Dominique said, "Dao... Dawson Street?"

Siles took a light breath, and he felt some subtle emotions.He couldn't help asking: "Dominique, what exactly does Kabel's store sell?"

"It seems to be some expensive handicrafts. It's in the East City." Dominic was a little confused and didn't know why Siles asked these questions, but he still gave the answer frankly, "It's very popular with some nobles."

Siles then said: "As far as I know, there is an underground black market on Dawson Street in the West City, which sells some things that are not very..." He considered his tone, "Not very legal things. It is very likely that they came from the Land of Never Embers. land."

Dominic opened his eyes wide, and asked back in surprise: "What? I don't know about this at all!" He murmured, "So, Kabell's brother and sister are very suspicious."

Siles nodded silently.

Thinking about it now, when Professor Kabell left, he left a letter saying that he would come back within half a month to 20 days.But his elder brother and sister chose to call the police after he disappeared for nearly a month.

Dominic lowered his head and wrote something on the paper, and then said to Siles: "I'll let other people investigate this matter. If there is news, I will notify you."

As he said that, he got up and quickly planned to leave the room, obviously excited by the information he got this time.

"Wait, Dominic!" Sirius stopped him, "I want to ask you one more thing."

"What?" Dominic said.

Siles asked: "I would like to ask about the Stardust business of the Church of the Past. Do you know if there is an abandoned Stardust mine near the House of Gladstone Hales?"

"Hales House?" Dominic gave Sirius a strange look, then nodded, "Yes, there is indeed. It's just west of Hales House.

"It seems to be a mine developed by a businessman in the city. Some of it is supplied to us, and the other part seems to be sold to other fields. I don't know much about that part.

"But where exactly..."

"No, you don't need to tell me the location in too much detail." Siles said sincerely, "I just need to know this one piece of news is enough."

Dominic looked very confused, but he was completely occupied by Professor Kabell's matter, so he didn't ask Siles why he asked this question, he just said in a hurry: "It's good to help you."

With that said, he left the room directly.

Siles stayed alone in the room, lost in thought for a moment.

To the west of Hales House, the abandoned Stardust Mine.

Perhaps, he thought, it was the place corresponding to the diamond-like symbol on Cindo Playa's version of the map.That was probably where the merchant Ranmeer had met Friedman.

...Sure enough, it is near Hales House!

Now Sirius has become extremely vigilant about the House of Hales, and always feels that there are some strange things hidden behind this station.Maybe there is nothing wrong with the station, but the people at the station...

He pondered for a moment, then got up and walked out, and turned his thoughts to Professor Kabell's case.What exactly did Professor Kabel discover to make him disappear so abruptly?Are there enough strong evidences and clues hidden in his "safe house"?

In any case, he still looks forward to what new news the church can investigate in the past.

He may be able to use his position to investigate the deeds of Professor Kabel more conveniently than the church of the past, but the church of the past obviously has greater ability to dig out the hidden secrets behind these stories.

Siles awaited the results of their investigation.

He also got up, left the office, and went to the nave of the church.There, Knight Commander Benyan was already waiting for him.

Knight Commander Benyan saw Sirius approaching, and handed over two things in his hand, namely a pair of brand new leather boots and a pair of gold-rimmed pince-nez frames.

The latter is not equipped with spectacle lenses.

Bunyan explained: "You can change the glasses according to the degree of nearsightedness you have."

Siles nodded, indicating that he understood.He asked again: "What is the ceremony?"

Bunyan said: "The ritual of these boots, named [Nature's Boots], is derived from the power path that Trisley, the god of mountains and rivers, once blessed. Those patrons are called 'Nature Walkers'.

“They can hide their breath in the wild, blend in with nature, and walk in these boots without getting tired. The effect is constant, just put the boots on.

"If you need to enhance the effect of concealment, you can squat down on the spot - have you ever seen a beast crawling and preparing to hunt? Just imitate the animal's posture.

"I estimated your size, and you can go to the side room to try it on later. It will be better if it fits."

Siles thanked Bunyan for his kindness.These boots really fit his needs, after all, he is about to go to the Land of Never Embers, and he doesn't have much time to exercise on weekdays.

Not to mention the effect of concealing breath, just wearing these shoes will not make your feet sore when walking, that is a very powerful and practical function.

Knight Commander Benyan introduced the glasses ceremony again.

He said: "This pair of glasses is from the power of Akamala, the god of dreams and illusions, and the name of the ceremony is [Akamala's Spectacle Frame].

"It is rumored that Akamala's eyes can see through the difference between reality and illusion, so the ability of this pair of glasses is to see through the fog and see the scenery farther away.

"These two effects are constant, just like those boots, they will take effect as long as you put them on. Of course, if you want to see further, you need to focus on that direction.

"By the way, the lenses will not affect the effect of this pair of glasses. But if your eyes are very short-sighted," he pointed to the glasses hanging on Sirius' chest, "you can consider using them as decorations Wear it the same way instead of wearing lenses."

"I understand, but my myopia is not that severe." Siles said, he was a little curious about another thing, "Benyan, what does 'seeing through the fog' mean...?"

Captain Banyan smiled, and then said, "There is only one kind of fog in this world."

The fog of the Neverland?Siles couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

He slightly exclaimed, "This pair of glasses must be worth a lot."

This pair of glasses, derived from the power of Akamala, has a double effect.The first is similar to a "telescope", which allows users to see things farther away.

The second is to be able to walk on the ground in the mist of the Never Embered Land, and see everything hidden in it clearly.

The reason why those fogs are annoying is because the gray-black fog will block people's vision, make people blind, and affect people's willpower invisibly, making them gradually crazy and delusional. lost forever.

"Seeing through the fog" is not only able to clearly see what is hidden in the fog, but also eliminates the invisible influence on human will.

Siles couldn't help thinking, [Akamala's spectacle frame], did it really belong to Akamala?After getting this pair of spectacle frames, when he entered the deep sea dream again, would there be any strange changes in that place?

Bunyan smiled slightly, and said, "Professor Noel, compared to your help to us, these glasses are worth nothing. Anyway, an item must be used by people before it can become an 'timely object'." rail'."

Once again, Siles felt a little uneasy because of the overly friendly attitude of the church in the past.

He thanked Bunyan again, and thought to himself, if he didn't know that the Church of the Past didn't know that he was about to go to the Land of Embers, then he would have thought that the Church of the Past specially sent him because of his trip in the future. These two time tracks were presented to him as a reward.

Both of these things would help him navigate the Neverlands more safely and easily.

Bunyan shook his head, acknowledging that you are welcome, and then said, "By the way, the boots need a potion with at least 5% purity to take effect, and the glasses require 10% purity."

As he spoke, he picked up a small wooden suitcase from the side and opened it, allowing Sirius to see about fifty tan potion bottles inside.Half of them are 5% pure and half are 10% pure.

Then Knight Commander Bunyan closed it, handed it to Siles, and said with a smile, "A gift is included."

Siles took it, but couldn't help saying: "I don't even feel uneasy—accepting such a large and precious gift."

It's also very funny to say, since he became a revealer, he hasn't bought a potion himself.After all, the potion from Mr. Grenfell is enough, and now he has received a gift from the church in the past.

Bunyan laughed: "There are also scholars in the church who can prepare potions. This is not too precious. Professor Noel, anyway, it would be great if he could help you."

"I feel like you guys have helped me a lot," said Siles.

He said this with great sincerity.Whether it was "Karakak's Diary", the previous cash rewards, or the shield fragments provided by Knight Commander Bunyan, as well as the current two time tracks, these things have all given him great help.

"We don't need to be polite here." Knight Commander Bunyan said heartily, "Please take it and use it well. Everything belongs to the gift of my god, not my generation."

Siles was taken aback by his last sentence, but he didn't mean to argue with the pious believers in this world.

Afterwards, Knight Commander Benyan handed the last thing to Siles, which was an invitation.He said: "On behalf of the Church of the Past, I invite you to come to the church to watch the celebration of God's Birthday on October 10. It will be a very lively and unique day."

Siles didn't refuse the matter, he originally planned to go to the Land of Eternity after the birthday of God.He readily accepted.

After this incident, Siles planned to bid farewell to Bunyan and leave the church. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the letter from Bunyan, saying that the church was investigating Dr. Chester Fitzroy in the past. past.

So Siles asked about the progress of their investigation.

Mentioning this matter, Bunyan couldn't help but sighed.He said: "The progress of the investigation is very slow. After all, it happened many years ago, and it did not happen in the Principality of Const."

"Is that something that happened in the Land of No Embers?" Siles tried calmly.

Bunyan hesitated, and finally said: "No, it is not." He said, "We suspect that this Dr. Fitzroy has a connection with Middleton ... a distant country."

Siles was surprised to hear this statement.

He thought that Doctor Chester followed the archaeological team to the Land of No Embers to find the ruins discovered by Alfonso seven years before the Church of the Past investigated... It turned out not to be?

So Dr. Chester has other secrets?

"I'm afraid this doctor doesn't even know it himself." Bunyan sighed softly, "His mother is a traveler from a distant foreign country, and gave birth to this descendant of blood inheritance in a foreign land."

Siles: "..."

He suddenly began to doubt, does he really understand the characters in this running group script?

The businessman Ranmir somehow got involved in Stardust and Grayson's business; Dr. Chester's life experience and past were suddenly shrouded in countless mysteries;

What about Herman Grove?What about Knight Commander Bunyan?What about Bourne the Tramp?There are also those two characters that he has never been in contact with so far. Do these people also hide their own secrets?

Siles looked deeply at the handsome Knight Commander Bunyan in front of him, and finally said, "Perhaps the secret will be discovered one day."

He thought, this world is far from being as simple as running a group script.This is a real world with countless mysteries and secrets beyond the script.

Bunyan probably didn't know what Siles meant, so he just smiled slightly.

Siles went to the room that Bunyan said to try on the boots, and after confirming the fit, he thanked Bunyan and left the Church of the Past.

When he walked out of the Church of the Past, Siles noticed that the sky was once again heavily rained.The gloomy sky cast a thin shadow over Sirius' heart.

He held up his umbrella, opened his pocket watch and looked at the time, only to find that it was past ten o'clock.He simply walked along the boulevard, passed through the Atherton Central Square, walked all the way to No. 18 Howesville Street, went up to the third floor, and ordered his favorite set meal for lunch.

The third floor of 18 Houseville Street was as quiet as ever.The sound of rain outside the window was constant, and Siles occasionally looked at the people in Atherton Square.

At this time, he thought of the painter who once painted on the edge of Atherton Square.

Why do you think of him?Maybe it's because the sky is gloomy at this moment, and the wind and rain are about to come, just like the gloomy, gray and cloud-covered sky above the painter's drawing.

The world is in a storm.The storm never stops.

After dinner, Siles went to Room 52.

He sat there quietly, thinking about his plans for the time ahead.

Novelist meeting on Sunday, visiting Professor Calverley on Monday, nothing to do on Tuesday, but God's birthday celebration on Wednesday.In this way, if there are no accidents, then he will be able to leave Ramifa City on Thursday.

It just happened to say something to my companions at this party.

He has to find time to pack his luggage... By the way, there is still a stack of books in Alfonso's room at 13 Milford Street, and he has to find time to move them here.Perhaps tomorrow morning?

Since you're going to the West Side, maybe you can look for Jimmy near Ernestine's Tavern.He is a child of West City, so he should know better than Sirius, what kind of shop is more suitable to open in the underground black market.

Siles took out a pen and paper from his bag, and wrote down the arrangements for the next few days in his notebook, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

... If he was going to leave on Thursday, then he might have to buy a train ticket in the next two days.

There is no direct train from Ramifa City to the Land of Embers. He has to go to a city on the edge of the Principality of Const to change trains. Perhaps Jules' hometown, the border city of Maltz, would be a good choice.

The railway station of Lamifa City is in the western suburbs. He will go to the western city tomorrow morning, so he can stop by the railway station to buy a ticket.

Besides, he still had some chores to deal with—changing glasses, buying gifts for his mother, taking some time to write to Grenfell, telling him about his plans to go to the Land of Never Embers during the winter vacation.

He still had to hope that nothing would happen during the celebration of God's birthday, lest his plan be postponed.

Siles sighed slightly inwardly.

After twelve o'clock, his friends began to arrive one after another.

The last one to arrive was Angela. As soon as she entered the door, Angela said, "Good afternoon! I just wanted to share something with you."

Her expression couldn't tell whether it was anger or anxiety, it seemed very complicated.

Siles looked up at Angela when he thought about what happened to Millicent at the club event yesterday.Angela sat on the sofa, then looked at Eric: "Eric, you are a father."

Eric nodded in bewilderment.

"A father with daughters," Angela said.

Eric nodded blankly again.

So Angela said: "Do you think a father with a daughter would slap her daughter for doing something that disobeyed his wishes?! This really pissed me off!"

"What?" Eric said in amazement, "What kind of father would do such a thing!"

"I don't understand either!" Angela said angrily, with a hint of fear in her anger, "I really don't understand how a person can change so much in a short period of time..."

Siles had already heard the clue from what she said, so he asked, "Is it about Miss Austin?"

"Yes." Angela calmed down a little, then took a deep breath and organized her words.

Mrs. Fuller and Darrell listened curiously too.

Angela briefly reviewed what happened in Millicent's house, that is, a businessman presented a portrait from the Land of Never Embers, and then Millicent's father became irritable and gluttonous, and would not let anyone people to deal with it.

"Professor, after you told me that idea yesterday, I immediately brought Millie and Thea to the Historical Society and asked a reliable elder for help." Angela said, "That elder is also very concerned about this matter, That night I visited Millie's house.

"Thea and I followed. The conversation went well at first, and Millie's father was very willing to share with us about him and the portrait. We only knew that he had been sitting all night and all night for a long time. In front of that portrait, quietly staring into the eyes of the portrait..."

Hearing this, Eric couldn't help but say, "This is a very dangerous move."

After studying and experiencing in the second corridor for a period of time, Eric knows the danger of "out of control time track", especially this kind of time track with human image and human eyes.

Siles, who had accidentally looked into the eyes of the statue of the woman's head, nodded beside him.

The eyes of this kind of time track always give people an almost eerie allure.

"I also know that we all feel that this kind of behavior is very dangerous." Angela said with an indignant tone, "However, people who are 'mentally disabled' don't realize this problem themselves."

Eric sighed too, and said, "Yeah." He said, "It happens in the second corridor all the time. People are crazy and don't know it."

The scene froze for a moment.

Then Angela continued, but her tone has calmed down a lot, she said: "The elder said he wanted to see the painting, but Millie's father immediately became vigilant and refused the matter.

"The elder is still insisting. After that, Millie's father was completely enraged. He insulted us, slapped Millie, and then locked himself in the study.

"Millie and her mother were crying, and Thea and I could only comfort them. The elder didn't know what to do. He talked with Millie's father outside the study for a long time, but in the end he still didn't dare to be violent and could only leave up.

"I stayed at Millie's last night. Millie's father didn't leave the study until this morning. I feel... very disturbed."

Her voice faded and finally stopped.

The rest of the people frowned, feeling that this matter was very difficult.

Mrs. Fuller said with a cautious tone, "Austin...is the Marquis of Austin?"

Angela nodded.

Mrs. Fuller shook her head: "That one is..."

She didn't go on, but she could tell from her tone that Mrs. Fuller was stumped by the incident.That seemed to be a powerful aristocratic figure.

At this time, Siles suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "This Marquis, is the enlightener?"

They were all startled by this question.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to be attacked by out-of-control timing, because their "spirituality" is not high enough.Of course, not all ordinary people with high enough spirituality can become enlighteners.

Like Professor Cabell.This crazy old man wasn't the Revelator, at least Sirius didn't see any evidence that he was.However, he did come into contact with a lot of out-of-control time tracks, and his mental state gradually deteriorated as a result.

However, this Marquis of Austin...

Angela frowned, and said uncertainly: "Should...not. As far as I know, he is not." She paused, "There are indeed many enlighteners among the nobles, and most of them are not historical societies. Or the origin of the church in the past, but a family inheritance.

"They borrow power from their family's history and glory, and family blood is their most important source of power. Some ancestors of the family even specially left some power guidance for future generations.

"As for the Marquis of Austin... Mrs. Fuller, you should know about this family. They succeeded in obtaining the title through commercial means and political marriages during the centuries of the Mist Age. They don't have any family inheritance.

"As for other official organizations...it was impossible for the church in the past. Nobles have never dealt with them. On the side of the Historical Society, I haven't heard any news from the Presbyterian Church. The elder didn't show any abnormalities last night. .

"So, I don't think the Marquis of Austin can be the revealer."

They all nodded, approving Angela's guess.

Eric said with mixed emotions: "Maybe this Mr. Marquis has the qualifications of a revealer, but he doesn't know it..."

This is also a danger.

Siles pondered this statement in his heart, thinking, it is not impossible.But... businessman?

If this merchant from the Marquis of Austin's family started out, how could it be possible not to know that some commodities from the Never Embers are very dangerous?Bertram Finn knew this very well.

Even though Bertram is an ordinary person, he also knows the existence of those dangerous and crazy followers of the old gods.A businessman should understand this unstable factor, not to mention that the Marquis of Austin is also a nobleman of the Duchy of Constance.

Why, under the circumstances, would he have embraced the portrait?Don't you feel any wariness?

Or rather...

He himself is already a believer in the god of gluttony and lust.And that portrait, like a kind of...

Siles thought, like a certificate of formal membership in a secret organization.

Isn't that what those weird chef portraits are pasted on the ceiling of the back kitchen of Grayson's Desserts?

Siles asked, "Angela, do you know what that portrait looks like?"

Angela shook her head: "It has been kept in Millie's father's study. When the businessman brought it over, Millie took a look at it, but she didn't see it clearly. She only knew it was a portrait."

Siles nodded, feeling a little regretful.If we can know the specific content of that portrait, I am afraid that we will be able to grasp more information.

However, he changed his mind and thought that it would be good if no one saw it.That's at least one less victim.

Mrs. Fuller said: "If the Marquess of Austin stays in the study all the time...then the situation may change in a few days. And, it is very likely that it will not be a good change."

Her words are more tactful, but who
