The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"Mr. Langmire." Siles said with some surprise, "I didn't expect to meet you either."

It was the merchant Ranmir who appeared in front of them.He was dressed like an explorer, with a cowboy hat, leather belt, and old leather boots. He looked dusty, and he didn't look like a wealthy businessman at all.

But perhaps it was this kind of attire that allowed him to run amok in this dangerous land of no embers.

Ranmir explained a few words to the people around him, and then he came to Sirius alone, his smiling eyes swept over Sirius' companion, and paused for a moment on Qindo.

Ranmeer said: "Oh, Mr. Noel. I didn't expect you to come to the Land of No Ashes. If I had said earlier, I could have gone with you."

"I wrote you a letter, but unfortunately, you had already set off at that time." Siles said, "I received a reply from your wife. Seeing you, I didn’t expect to meet you.”

Ranmeer said unexpectedly: "That is indeed a very coincidence." He took advantage of the opportunity to ask about Sirius' companion.

Siles introduced him.

Ranmeer nodded, and said, "You are a thoughtful doctor, a young man with drive, and a seasoned explorer." He said, "Mr Praia, I have heard a lot about your reputation. "

Qin Duo nodded dispensably.

Ranmier probably saw the indifference and arrogance, so he retracted his scrutiny very gracefully.He just said: "In this case, then, Mr. Noel, why don't you and your companion go to the hotel I have booked to take a rest?"

Siles looked at the more experienced Cindo.

Qin Duo asked in a low voice: "What hotel is it?"

"Old John's Hotel," said Ranmeer, laughing. "You must have heard, it's the most perfect hotel in Biddle City."

Qin Duo nodded and said, "That's a good choice."

Ranmeer showed a strong smile, and said graciously: "Come on, gentlemen. We can sit down and have a good chat. Although Mr. Praia is here, there may be some news that my merchants can provide you."

Soon, they arrived in front of a building in the middle of the desert.

The whole of Biddle City has a rough, dangerous air.The drowsy air that comes from the yellow sand all over the sky also comes from the dirty faces and vigilant eyes of people on the street.

However, what appeared in front of them at this moment was a beautiful tall building with walls covered with colorful tiles.The style of the building has a surprisingly extravagant style, with spires, willow windows, and towering bell towers.

Alva's eyes widened, and he murmured, "This is not what I expected to see in the Land of No Embers."

Ranmere laughed, and said: "Young Mr Gilliney, Galsworth is not a remote, backward place. It is very prosperous here, much more prosperous than you think."

Alva nodded, deeply agreeing.

They went in.The desert area looks a little hot during the day.Siles saw that most of the waiters were wearing clean white shirts, with a very beautiful pattern like vines on the left shoulder of the shirts.

...the pattern seems to be similar to the pattern on the tiles on the exterior wall of the hotel.

The businessman Ranmir obviously has a long history with this hotel. Under his arrangement, the four of Siles got a very exquisite single room with a separate bathroom and a small balcony.

Moreover, Langmir directly waived the room fee for one night for them.This big businessman is really extraordinary.When he was in Ramifa City, Siles had never witnessed him making such generous shots.

Siles remained calm on the surface, and thanked him very sincerely, but in his heart, he was thinking about why the businessman was so attentive.

... It's not that he's suspicious.According to the script of the running group, the businessman Ranmier chose to leave Lamifa City at this moment because he had other plans and was not a normal business activity.The big businessman himself had some connections with people whose identities were unknown.

Although the running group script has already been turned into a pile of waste paper by butterflies, Siles can still refer to the characters and action intentions of these characters.

Not all characters are good guys.They live in this world and have their own life trajectories, not just a one-line or two-line description in the running group script.Sirius knew this well.

After booking the room, Chester, Alva, and Cendo went back to their rooms.They have been on the train for the past few days, and they have not had a good rest and have not been able to take a shower.Now that I have arrived at the hotel, I will continue my journey tomorrow, so I naturally want to take this opportunity to take a good rest.

Siles was not in a hurry.He needed to have a long talk with Ranmeer.

Before leaving, Qin Duo cast a questioning look, wondering if Siles needed to be accompanied.But Siles shook his head lightly, telling him to go to rest quickly.

After the three of them had left, Ranmier extended the invitation with a smile: "Siles, I'm afraid you haven't eaten breakfast yet? Let's go have a delicious brunch together?"

Siles nodded, followed his footsteps, and casually raised the topic: "But, Ranmeer, do you know about Grayson Foods? I don't like the word 'delicious' very much now."

"Ah, of course I've heard," said Ranmeer. "Even when I'm out of Ramifah, I'll still read Ramifah's paper. It's a lot of fun."

Siles glanced at his smiling face, and then moved away flatly: "I remember you once reached a cooperation with Grayson? Forgive my presumptuousness, did you find any special signs at the beginning?

"Now the official of the Duchy of Constance is still investigating this matter, maybe you can provide some useful clues."

"No." Ranmir sighed regretfully, "After learning about this, I thought about it, but I couldn't find anything unusual. I just had ordinary business dealings with Grayson. That's all."

Siles nodded, and he asked casually: "It seems that this time you came to the Land of No Embers, did you find any business opportunities?"

They arrived at the restaurant on the first floor of the Old John Hotel.There are no people here now, but the aroma of food still permeates the nose, and Celes even smells the long-lost seafood.

Obviously, this is a very luxurious hotel, not as ordinary as the name sounds.

Langmire didn't answer Siles' question immediately.He first said: "Welcome to Old John's restaurant! Siles, the food here is very good, and the ingredients are also very fresh, including some seafood just shipped from the sea.

"You come from Lamifa City, maybe you can try it. It's a very unique taste. For brunch, maybe you can try seafood porridge, it's very delicious."

Siles nodded rather flatly - when he was on Earth, he had tried far more abundant food than this era.That is the dimensionality reduction blow brought by large-scale industrial production, which is probably beyond the imagination of people in this world.

...perhaps they were close once.During the period of silence.However, a heavy fog destroyed the future of civilization in this world.

However, Siles still chose the seafood porridge recommended by Langmeer, with some small snacks.He didn't really have much of an appetite to eat, after all... the shadow of Grayson's food still loomed over his heart.

When he is eating now, he still can't help but put on 【Akamala's glasses frame】.Of course, he himself knew that this was just a psychological comfort.

This situation may continue for a while.

Ranmere didn't seem to care about him eating with glasses, he casually introduced the Old John's Hotel and the whole of Biddle City to Siles.

Only then did Siles know that this hotel, as well as many shops and facilities in Biddle City, had Langmeer's investment.Langmere even owned a small stake in the Dexter Consolidated Railroad Company.

For the first time, he realized that the simple character card of "Businessman Ranmir" actually symbolized how much wealth he had when he came to reality.

He was slightly amazed at Langmeer's wealth, but he didn't quite understand why the other party mentioned it to him at this time.

show off?Show off?Siles didn't think Langmeer would think so.But if it is just a brief introduction to Biddle City, then there is no need to say so much.

When Siles was about to finish eating, Langmire suddenly let out a long sigh.

Siles paused, then put down the spoon, and looked at Ranmere calmly.He thought for a moment, then said: "Mr. Langmire, we have met several times. I always remember that you introduced me to the publisher Benton.

"So, if you need me anywhere, you can just say so."

A wry smile appeared on Ranmir's shrewd and capable face.He said: "You may feel that I am complaining ... or showing off ... Anyway, I do want to tell you about my difficulties."

"Please speak." Siles said in a low voice, looking deeply at the businessman in front of him.

Ranmier thought for a moment, then said: "I remember, I told you once that I did business related to Stardust."

Siles nodded.

Ranmeer asked back, "What do you think of this business?"

Siles wasn't quite sure what kind of answer he wanted, and in the end, he could only reply cautiously: "Very promising."

From an Earthling's point of view, of course.

Ranmir nodded slowly, and then said: "I want to be honest with you. You may not know—or know, that star dust is a necessary supplement for the Revelator's potion."

"I know that," said Siles simply. "So it's a problem for your business?"

"No, no... that's not what I meant." Langmeer said, "The mining of the stardust mine I told you about has been completed. You may not know that in some other countries, some of their vehicles Will use star dust for energy."

"I heard about it from a businessman," said Siles.

Ranmir nodded: "It's good that you know about it. What I mean by this example is that apart from the use of the revealer, star dust has other uses.

"Therefore, if businessmen like us who are active in the Land of Embers are lucky enough to discover a vein of stardust before the Church of the Past or other enlightener organizations, it will indeed provide us with a lot of profits and money.

"...that's a good thing, of course."

he murmured.

Siles narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Isn't it a good thing now?"

Ranmeer suddenly smiled wryly: "Mr. Siles--Mr. Noel, please don't make fun of me. I am, I can say, a businessman who is as rich as a country. But the life of a businessman is life."

Sirius looked at him noncommittally.

"...Okay, okay. I won't play tricks on you anymore." Ranmeer said, "I think at least part of the reason why you appeared in the Land of Embers is because of the explorer book you once got. Travel notes, isn't it?"

Siles was slightly taken aback.He didn't expect Langmeer to suddenly mention Friedman's travel notes.He suddenly realized something, and his tone suddenly became deep.

"Yes," he said, "you mean, the death of Friedman, and... the vein of stardust?"

"I can't say that the two are definitely related." Ranmier changed into a more relaxed posture, he greeted a waiter casually, and asked the restaurant to suspend business, and it happened that no one came to eat during this time.

Siles watched him silently.

Ranmir took a sip of ice water to calm himself down slowly.

After a while, he said, "Have you heard of the curse of Stardust?"

The Curse of Stardust?

Siles was slightly taken aback, but felt a strange implication—he meant, the name sounds pretty bluffing, doesn't it?

He asked, "What's that?"

"Anyone who uses the star dust for profit will be cursed by the star dust." Ranmir's voice was low, like a silently knocking bell, "They will die in endless madness."

Siles couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he said, "However, Potions and Star Dust are also being sold inside the Enlightenment."

He had also seen an auction at Ernestine's underground fair.

Ranmir shook his head: "No, the part of the revealer doesn't count."

Siles felt a little confused, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You mean... a businessman like you who digs the stardust veins?"

"There are also those workers and transporters." Langmeer's voice was very soft and very depressed, "'Using' star dust, it will not be cursed; but it is not allowed to use it for profit."

Siles said: "This sounds a bit...like the style of Neverland. Rumors in this sense...is there really evidence to prove the existence of this curse?"

Ranmere's brown eyes looked quietly at Sirius, as if to say, yes, there was.

So Siles paused for a moment and asked, "What evidence?"

Ranmir sighed softly: "Siles—remember, the October market is not over yet, I shouldn't have left Ramifa City at this time."

"but?"

"But many... I once told you that last October, I met that explorer who was dying. At that time, we were mining the veins of stardust. You may remember this incident."

Siles nodded, and asked: "So, those who mined the veins at that time..."

"Workers." Ranmier said in a low voice, "They suddenly disappeared strangely."

Siles couldn't help but startled, subconsciously asked: "When?"

"In just one or two months," Langmeer said, "those workers were all skilled workers hired by me. When the first worker disappeared, the foreman thought it was nothing; but more and more workers disappeared, The foreman couldn't sit still.

"They didn't know where they heard the phrase 'the curse of stardust', so they thought it was our mining of the stardust mine last year that brought disaster. But——seriously, don't you see that I'm still alive and well!

"If there is such a curse, wouldn't I be the first to die? They asked me for an explanation, that if you want to live, you must see people and if you die, you must see corpses. But I have no choice.

"To tell you the truth, even if you think my idea is a little possible, but I really... I even think... I even think, maybe I'm also cursed."

His eyes looked deeply at Sirius, his tone unconsciously became nervous, almost trembling with excitement, as if to support his statement.

Siles was silent.

He suddenly understood the purpose of Langmeer to talk to him about it.

Last October, while mining the Stardust vein, Langmeer met a dying Friedman.A year later, the workers at that time disappeared one after another, and they were suspected to be cursed by Stardust.

Ranmeer is skeptical; in fact, there is no evidence that the curse really came from the stardust, but in the absence of other possibilities, Ranmeer can only believe it.

But this poses a problem.If there is really a curse from Stardust, then shouldn't Ranmir himself be cursed as well?

This must have been tormenting Ranmeer's nerves these days.

However, when Sirius appeared in the Land of No Embers, Langmire immediately thought of his intersection with Sirius——Friedman.

It was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

What if it wasn't about the stardust?What if it was because of that mysterious explorer who died near the Stardust mine?Did his experience affect those he came into contact with before his death?

Friedman's curse was better solved than Stardust's curse - Ranmeer probably thought so - an explorer, and Stardust.Which is better to solve is obvious.

but……

Ranmere said: "You may understand how much hope your appearance has brought me. I can't help but think, if the disappearance of those workers is not from the curse of Stardust, but because of the explorer who appeared mysteriously, because His past..."

There was something almost relieved in his tone.

Siles thought for a moment, and at last he said: "Rangmere, I'm afraid I must disturb your hopes."

"……what?"

"Unsurprisingly, Friedman's death is related to Huddoka." Siles said, "Yes, the god of sin and lies, Huddoka."

Ranmire's expression went blank.

Siles said, "I'm looking into this with Cindo. Maybe you could join us if you'd like?"

Ranmir's blank expression lasted for a moment, then he suddenly restrained himself and asked shrewdly, "Cindo...Cindo Playa? Siles, he is..."

"Yes. He is the explorer you know," said Siles.

Ranmir's eyes flickered.

Siles had to remind the businessman, who may be dying and still thinking about how to make money, that he said, "Cendo won't help your business."

Ranmir was resentful, and he turned to say: "Huddoka? Why did Friedman's death involve Houddoka?"

Siles considered it for a while, and thought that Langmeer, a businessman with a wide network and wealth, should be able to help their investigation.So he said: "Remember, you said that Friedman mentioned the 'statue' before he died."

Ranmir nodded, but his expression still looked very puzzled, and he didn't understand how the statue was related to Huddoka.

Siles then spoke out the habit of Huddoka followers.

Ranmir's expression gradually lost control, as if he wanted to curse something.In the end, he just said with a distorted expression: "It seems that I have to investigate whether there have been statues near the place where the workers disappeared."

Siles nodded, and then said: "By the way, do you know the archaeological site near the Principality of Kansas recently?"

"That tomb robber's pile of ruins?" Ranmere asked keenly, and then said, "Of course I know. It's a pity that I didn't buy anything... Wait, you're mentioning this place now..."

"It's the remains of a temple built by followers of Huddhoka."

Ranmir: "..."

His expression was somewhere between "It hurts not to make money" and "It's a good thing I didn't make the goddamn money."

"The archaeological site was discovered because some explorer got a map," said Sirius. "And that map came from Hales House, which is where we were going on this journey.

"If you have time, you might as well investigate the archaeological site and Hales House. Especially..."

Siles pondered for a moment, then said: "In the past ten years, during the same period of time, that is, around October, did the House of Hales often spread rumors related to the 'treasure map' of the 'non-existent city'? Rumors about the 'mysterious map'."

Ranmir nodded thoughtfully, and then he sighed: "This land of no embers is really dangerous. Maybe when I earn enough money, I should stay away from this damned place earlier."

Siles listened to his words in silence, and couldn't help but think of another businessman who made his fortune in the Land of Never Embers and a member of the Dawn Revelation Society, "Lady" Eugenia Beard.

It suddenly occurred to him that the lady once said that the Lamifah Chamber of Commerce would also send an expedition to search for "non-existent cities."Siles set off late, maybe he could meet this expedition team in the end?

Ranmir quickly bid farewell to Siles and left in a hurry, probably to investigate related matters.

Siles also got up, left the restaurant, and walked upstairs slowly.He thought absently that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Ranmere that they had intended to set off for Hales House tomorrow.

But this is not a big deal, and they will definitely have to wait for the results of Langmeer's investigation before leaving.Hope it doesn't take too long...

His footsteps stopped suddenly, because he saw a figure close at hand—Cindo Playa.

Those emerald green eyes were looking at him with disapproval.

"Please allow me to remind you, Professor Siles Noel." Qindo said in a low voice, "You are now in Biddle City in Galsworth, in the center of the Land of Embers—not Rami A place as safe as Facheng.”

So, don't let your mind wander!Qin Duo's eyes seemed to say so.

Siles was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but say, "But this is a hotel, isn't it?"

Qin Duo said: "Since you went up to the fourth floor, came here, and found me standing here - how long? Ten seconds?"

Silleston was at a loss for words.He also reflected on his carelessness.He was always intensely focused when he was thinking, but now he was outside after all, not in the safety of his closed study.

Siles said, "Thank you, Gindo."

Qin Duo smiled inexplicably, and then said: "That businessman, what does he want from you? I think he seems to be in deep trouble."

Siles took out the key in his pocket and opened his own single room.The decoration in the room is also very exotic in the desert.It was near noon, and the desert sun was scorching the earth.

Siles took off his coat and only put on a cotton top that was more fitted.He sat on the sofa, thinking of what Ranmeer said just now because of Qindo's question.

And Qin Duo has followed Siles into the room confidently.

He sat opposite to Sirius, as if enjoying the luxury and comfort of this room more freely than Sirius.He said: "It seems that this trouble has affected you too?"

Siles came back to his senses, and then told the whole story of what Ranmeer said just now.He said: "This incident bothers me a bit. If it is really related to Friedman, why did the workers suddenly disappear after a year?

"But if it has something to do with Stardust, it would be even more incredible. In the past few years, there must have been many businessmen who have mined the veins of Stardust. Did they all have accidents?"

Qin Duo looked at Siles thoughtfully, and after a while, he said, "Have you considered a situation?"

Siles was slightly startled, and then asked very humbly: "What?"

"It's because of the superposition of the two that caused this result." Qin Duo said in a low voice, as if thinking of something else, "Huddoka plus Stardust—that's why this group of workers had an accident. "

Siles frowned: "Huddoka...plus Stardust?"

He could understand what Qin Duo meant.

It seems inconceivable that these two things happened alone, but perhaps it was such a coincidence that the two things collided together, thus creating the current situation.

However, he felt a little weird for Qin Duo's overly smooth reasoning.

Moreover, Cendo said it was "Houddoka" plus stardust.Why not "Friedman" plus stardust?How could he be so sure it was Huddoka's problem?

... Siles felt that he was thinking too much, but he also felt that Qin Duo seemed to know something, so he was so sure.

Siles looked at Qindo with some trouble.

Qin Duo didn't realize it, he just said: "Maybe we should wait for the investigation from the businessman. He can always find something."

Siles was stunned for a moment, confirmed that Qin Duo really didn't intend to say a few more words about that inference, and then hesitated for a moment.He didn't ask Qin Duo to be completely honest, he just felt that Qin Duo's tricky behavior was outrageous.

Finally, he just sighed slightly and said, "Yes, we should wait."

Instead, Qin Duo hesitated for a while at this moment.After a while, he tentatively asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Siles had already got up at this time, opened the suitcase and planned to wash clothes, take a bath, and then take a nap to relax completely.He had put all these troubles about the Everlands, about the world's secrets, out of his mind.

Since coming into this world, his life and brain have always been very busy.So Siles made it a habit to forget about these damned puzzles when necessary, and immerse himself thoroughly in the comfortable atmosphere created by daily life.

So, he just looked at Qin Duo a little strangely, and said flatly: "I plan to take a rest."

Cendo seemed to want to say something, but Siles had already held up the towel and said, "I want to take a shower, so, Cendo...?"

Qin Duo stood up, and looked at Sirius with almost cramped and confused eyes.In the end, he just choked out a sentence: "Be vigilant."

Siles almost laughed at him.He said, "I will remember to lock the door and close the windows. Thank you for reminding me."

Those words seemed to say that Qin Duo didn't have to regard him as a child who couldn't take care of himself.

Cendo still seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he shook his head, whispered to Sirius to sleep well, and then walked out quietly.

Siles stood there, thinking of Qindo's almost at a loss just now, and thinking of Qindo's arrogant and defiant appearance when he and Qindo just met...

He suddenly smiled, thinking, do humans in another world know the fragrance?

He made fun of Qin Duo in his heart, and then silently reflected on his mentality of watching fun—this is very bad.He took a quick hot shower and washed some clothes.

He felt that his whole body relaxed a lot.

He hung the clothes to dry on the small independent balcony, and then stood there with great interest, wiping his hair while observing the whole Biddle City condescendingly.

Biddle City is located in the middle of the desert, but it is full of greenery and vitality.This place is like an oasis in the desert, with a very obvious rough wildness that is completely different from Ramifa City.

This place is not as huge and complex as Lamifa City, and the whole is only about one third of the size of Lamifa City.The building is like a jigsaw puzzle that tightly covers the land where it is located. All the buildings are put together very tightly, which makes the street crowded and lively.

Looking at the city itself, Siles even felt that this place was indeed very prosperous, like a miracle in the desert.However, if he looks a little farther away, then he can see the mist and desolation farther away.

This is a world full of yellow sand and approaching storms.he thinks.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of laughter.

Siles lowered his eyes subconsciously, noticing the children running on the street.They chased and fought each other, and one of them seemed to feel that he was being bullied, so he said loudly, "You will be caught by the witch!"

The other children laughed and laughed at his weakness and cowardice.

witch?Siles frowned subconsciously, feeling that the word sounded familiar.

Then he remembered—cities in the desert, children, women.

Such a story was mentioned in the collection of ghost stories "Little Cynthia's World" presented to him by Professor Calverley.The children built sand castles, and the witch actually made them live in the sand castles.

It was a strange story, obviously with a touch of fantasy.

However, Siles did not expect that he could actually hear something related to this story in a city in the desert.He couldn't help thinking, could it be true?

The children quickly ran away, and Sirius had no way of verifying his guess.He took this incident as an anecdote during the trip and recorded it in his notebook.

Afterwards, he fell into a deep sleep.

Although Akamala's power has always blessed him, allowing him to have a good sleep on the train, but mentally, Sirius still feels that the rickety carriage is not a suitable place to sleep.

Therefore, after sleeping quietly for two hours on the warm and comfortable big bed, Sirius woke up feeling completely relaxed.Fatigue also took away from his body and mind.

He glanced at his pocket watch and found that it was almost two o'clock.Just in time for a perfect nap and wake up.

It was sunny outside and looked very hot.Fortunately, Siles was well prepared.He casually pulled out a shirt from his bag—although it was crumpled, there was no need to be too strict when going out.

There is no such thing as an iron in this world.

He dressed, buttoned his shirt, washed a bit, and went out to eat at a restaurant.

He happened to bump into Chester and Alva in the dining room, who were also up after sleep.

Dr. Chester looked at Siles, especially the shirt on his body, and couldn't help but joked: "Professor, I feel like you are back in college. Those students will definitely leave behind your suit and the homework you assigned." equally impressive."

In his joke, Siles thought of the students who sighed at the original handsome appearance at the end of the semester... He couldn't help being silent for three seconds, and then said: "Maybe there are still too few homework assignments."

So much so that the students are still nostalgic for his appearance.

Chester snorted, and then said, "Professor, please don't let your students know that I caused you to think this way."

Alva snorted and laughed beside him.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Duo also appeared at the door of the restaurant, strode over, and looked at them a little strangely, especially Alva.

Alva laughed and said, "The professor said to give his students more homework."

Qin Duo understood, and showed a playful smile: "Professor, students don't like to do homework."

Siles thought for a moment amid the laughter of his peers, and then said, "But homework can reflect my love for my students."

Alva looked like he was about to fall under the table laughing.

Dr. Chester shrugged resignedly, and said: "We're doing our best—poor students."

There was a strong smile in Qin Duo's eyes, and finally he said: "Professor, you seem to easily hurt your students' hearts when you make a joke."

Siles: "..."

...but he meant it.

To be fair, for a professor, it takes a lot of work to think about what assignments to assign to students—okay?Siles thought so.

They ended their tea time chatting.They chatted a lot, about the land of no embers, about the fog, about Biddle City, and Qindo even shared a piece of his own adventure experience, and the strange danger made the rest of them dumbfounded.

When the topic progressed to when to leave tomorrow, Siles mentioned the investigation that the businessman Langmeer said, and said that they might have to wait for the results of Langmeer's investigation.

Qin Duo already knew about it before, and Chester and Alva didn't have any disagreements.They were even a little surprised, because in this way, they could stay in Biddle City for a longer period of time and visit the scenery here.

If you only stay for one day, and half of the time has to be used for rest, it can't be called a journey.

Alva may be more immersed in this mood, after all, he has no mysteries to investigate by Sirius and Qindo, nor does he have such a psychological burden as Doctor Chester.He came purely to explore and travel in the Land of Never Embers.

So, after afternoon tea, Alva proposed to go outside together.

"Is there any place I can go shopping, Mr. Qindo?" Alva asked Qindo actively.

Qin Duo thought for a moment, and then said: "A little to the east, there is a flea market that is open all year round, and the order is better there. If you want to buy any souvenirs, you can go there and have a look. But remember, never Don't buy old stuff."
