The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

The guide Langmeer arranged for was an unattractive woman who introduced herself and said they could call her Mary.

She has a very hearty personality, with beautiful braids.Siles noticed that her hands were heavily callused and didn't know why.

The guide warmly greeted them and stated his identity.She is a caravan guide hired by Ranmere, and she knows the roads of the Never Embered very well.

Since Ranmeer was busy with other things in recent days, the caravan had been idle in Biddle City, so she was sent to be the guide of Siles and the others.She will take them to Hales House as soon as possible, and help them find clues together in Hales House.

Mary quickly brought their horses out of the stables and gave them to them.

It can be seen that although Alva and Chester, who have lived in the city all year round, can ride horses, they are not good at riding.But it's okay to use it on the road.

Siles looked at the horses with a little surprise.

Compared with the horses in Lamifa City, which are similar to the horses on the earth, the horses in the Neverland are very strong, tall, and their fur is more gorgeous, as if they are some fantasy creatures.

He particularly noticed that the original manes of the four horses now had something similar to feathers.

He couldn't help frowning.

The guide Mary noticed the gaze of Siles, and said: "Sir, you must be very curious about why the horses in the Land of Never Embers have feathers. We call this kind of horse a feather horse."

Alva asked curiously from the side: "Why?"

Mary smiled slightly, and she said: "Because, there was once a horse that ate a birdman. It devoured his bloodline. So, the descendants of that horse also had feathers, and they had more powerful horses than ordinary horses." load capacity and durability.

"Only big merchants and powerful adventure groups in Land of No Embers will have this kind of feather horse. Usually we use it to transport goods, if unfortunately we miss the train, or to talk about important things Business."

Alva suddenly realized.

Chester was a little surprised, and whispered: "So even animals..."

The smile on Mary's face remained unchanged, and she said, "This is not uncommon, gentlemen. Animals in Neverland are similar to humans. The smarter an animal is, the more likely it is to be polluted spiritually."

She turned her head and gently stroked the feather horse's fur, and the feather horse gently rubbed its head against her hand.

Siles stared blankly at the very clever feather horse.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Maybe we should start."

Mary nodded in agreement. She looked at the time and said, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe we can arrive at Hales House before nine o'clock in the evening. Of course, maybe we can only take a rest once or twice."

"It's nothing!" Alva said excitedly, "Let's run wild in the desert of the Neverland!"

Of course, the problem of Siles and Qindo must be solved first.

The horse assigned to the two of them was obviously slightly stronger than the other feather horses.Qin Duo stood in front of the horse with great interest, stroked the feather horse's mane with his hand, and greeted it.

Mary probably regarded Siles as a novice who had never been exposed to horseback riding—in fact, it was almost the same—so she was telling him some very basic information, such as not standing behind the horse, not intentionally scaring the horse, and so on.

Siles listened humbly and quietly, and finally whispered: "I understand."

Cindo beckoned to Siles, and said that Mary said: "Okay, Ms. Guide, I can actually teach him science. We have to start early."

Mary looked at him, nodded her head, and said, "I leave it to you, Mr. Ginto."

Since Alva began to use this address, the rest of the people also used "Mr. Cindo".They seemed unable to call Qindo's name with peace of mind.

Qin Duo has already got on his horse.There was an empty seat behind the double saddle. He looked at Siles and handed over his hand: "Come."

Siles just hesitated for a moment, then took his hand without thinking.He took advantage of his strength to sit on the saddle, feeling that his and Qindo's bodies were a little too close together.

He was suddenly thankful that it was early winter and they had already put on heavier coats.

Qin Duo said in a low voice, "Hold my waist, Sirius." He paused, and immediately added, "This can't be said to be how diligent I am, but the reality..."

He stopped suddenly.

Siles wrapped his arms around his waist.Qin Duo could feel the temperature of Sires' body almost all over his back, as well as that very clear and clear breath.

He was silent for a moment.

Siles asked in confusion, "Cendo?"

Qin Duo came back to his senses, suddenly gave a low laugh, and said, "Sit tight. It's time for us to go."

In fact, the coexistence of charm and embarrassment almost disappeared very quickly.Qin Duo's body blocked a lot of cold wind for Siles, but Siles also felt uncomfortably bumped.

He had overestimated the road conditions in Neverland.Siles thought almost helplessly.

In order to save time as much as possible, the guide Mary took them on a rather bumpy path.The desert, the mud, the withered grass, and the occasional flashes of human figures and wild animals made the whole world seem extremely empty, and there were only five of them left.

They occasionally stopped to rest for a few minutes, and asked Mary to confirm that the route was correct.At this time, they will dismount and rest for a while.

Siles was not used to this way of rushing, which made him even more silent.

One time when he got off his horse, he stood there quietly, staring at a mass of gray-black mist in the sky.

"Are you okay?" Qin Duo walked up to him and asked.

Siles came back to his senses and said, "It's okay."

"You may not be used to riding on a horse." Qin Duo said, "Actually, not all explorers know how to ride a horse, or need to ride a horse. It's just that our trip this time is relatively fast."

"I understand." Siles said, he paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just because I thought about the future of this world. Maybe I can guess one of the possibilities."

"Guess?"

Siles suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Maybe I know that kind of future. It's about the change of transportation."

Like the earth.Like his home planet.This world is so similar to that world.But he knew the two worlds were very different.

"Do you have an idea?"

"Using stardust as energy to propel a vehicle with a mechanical structure." Siles said, "Also, it is said that the Duchy of Const and other countries are united to further develop the Land of Embers. Perhaps they will Gladstone also established a well-developed railway network."

Qin Duo shrugged and said casually: "Then I hope this world can move towards that future—the future you imagined."

Siles was slightly startled, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"On the one hand, I think a car is more convenient than a horse." Cindo's emerald green eyes stared at Celes in the cloudy and dense air, "On the other hand, if fate is as you think, as you wish, ——That may not be a good thing.

"As I said, I think it is acceptable for fate to be controlled by humans. After all, I am a human being."

Siles was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Look what we are talking about."

The topic slipped out of their hands so lightly and deftly.

It was getting dark.In the evening, the light of dusk makes the clouds in the sky seem to be filled with red mist, creating a particularly heavy atmosphere.

They also rested for a relatively long period of time at this time, about half an hour, to eat something.

Mary lit a bonfire.The firelight illuminated their faces, and also brought a faint light in the increasingly dark sky.

Gotta talk about something.Maybe someone thinks so.

So Dr. Chester asked: "Ms. Mary, can you introduce us to our upcoming destination?"

"Hales House?"

The firelight danced on Mary's face.

She seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "This station is the center of the southeast of Never Embers, so to speak. When people first began to explore the land of Never Embers, it was from the border of the Duchy of Const and the Duchy of Kansas. start.

"However, the House of Hales appeared before that. According to rumors, it was a post station where a big businessman from the Silent Age used to stop when he went to business. The prototype of the home.

"The businessman...no one knows what his name is. However, there is some speculation that he was called Hales. Of course, there is no evidence for such a thing."

"Big businessman?" Siles learned of this by accident.

Mary nodded.

Siles was lost in thought.

Both he and Qindo believed that the House of Hales had nothing to do with Huddoka, but why did it get involved with the businessman now?The big businessman of the Silent Age...

Mary continued: "I once heard from people who often live in Hales House that there are some stories about Menawaka in the nearby villages. It is said that Menawaka fell near there. Every year, some businessmen come to sacrifice.

"...Normal sacrifices, of course. As far as I am concerned, Menawaka's followers are perhaps the most harmless of all the followers of the Old Gods, after all, they are businessmen who are only thinking about making money."

Mary shrugged, a little jokingly.The rest of the people also laughed, with a natural contempt and rejection of businessmen.Most people in this era have such thoughts, even Alva laughed heartlessly.

Siles remained silent, quietly watching the jumping bonfire.He suddenly realized that walking among the most central mysteries of the world is a completely opposite experience and feeling from living in Lamifa City.

He can't say how well he understands the world now.But he always had the feeling that he knew at least one side of the world.That may be the closest and furthest to actual life in this world.

He sighed inwardly.

As for the mystery of the House of Hales, after they set off again, Sirius also pondered in the thick night.

If the rumor—that Menawaka had fallen near Hales House—was true, what would that mean?

Last night he read "The Land the World Forgot."It is mentioned in the book that Taurtia, the capital of the Sardinian Empire, was located in the southeast of the Never Embered Land, in other words, it was the area of ​​House of Hales.

Tauhetia's fall came from a sudden burst of mist in the center of the city.

The fall of the gods and the eruption of the fog have always had a relationship of being connected and accompanied.

...So, the fall of Menawaka indirectly caused the fall of the Sardinian Empire?

Siles was able to draw such a conclusion based on logical reasoning.However, he couldn't understand the meaning behind this conclusion anyway.

Why did Menawaka fall?

However, from some signs, we can indeed see the connection between the Sardinian Empire and Menawaka.For example, the relevant records of Kansas City's "commercial prosperity" in historical materials, as well as some analysis of the current chaotic situation in the Principality of Kansas.

Another example is Thirteen Letters from Madame de Bliss and Her Lover.The author of this collection of letters, which was jointly researched by Professor Cabell and the teaching assistant Mervyn, is a believer of Menawaka, Mrs. Debris.

According to the previous lady, Mrs. De Bliss is even the agent of Menawaka.

The collection of letters between her and her lover remained in the Principality of Const.The territory of the Principality of Const happened to have been part of the Sardinian Empire.

Although Siles didn't know how the family of Assistant Professor Mervyn got the collection of letters, in any case, Menawaka's agent was once again involved with the Sardinian Empire.

... Madame de Bliss claimed to have witnessed the fall of Menawaka.

This message seems to imply something.Siles, who was bumping on the horseback, thought inadvertently.

The next moment, he suddenly understood what this implied.

In terms of the transportation conditions of this world and this era, Mrs. Debliss’ correspondence meeting appeared in the Principality of Const, which means that the “fall of Menawaka” she witnessed probably also happened in Const. This area of ​​the Principality of Sturt, in other words - the Sardinian Empire.

After all, Menawaka fell in the late Silent Epoch—according to the textbook, if Siles remembers correctly.

At that time, the fog had already covered many places in Fisher's world, it could even be said that most of them.

Technological decline, economic depression.Under such circumstances, Siles did not think that Mrs. de Bliss' correspondence collection would travel to many places, and finally appear in a place that is far from the place where Menawaka fell, and it is still so well preserved.

Hales House.Tao Hetia.Huddoka.Menawaka.

fog.

And... the stardust veins.

... Siles suddenly felt a shock.

He didn't continue to think about it, because he knew that it was meaningless to think in vain.He can indeed connect everything with his strong imagination, but that's all hypothetical.

Assumptions without evidence are meaningless.

Siles calmly but resolutely swept those assumptions into the trash can of his brain, then heaved a sigh of relief and looked away.

They were almost at Hales House, he thought.

After another two hours, Mary suddenly said loudly, "See? That's the main building of Hales House!"

The liveliness of Hales House was beyond Sirius' imagination.

The theme building here is like a huge tent.The top of the tall tent can be seen from a distance of several hundred meters.At the top of the tent, dazzling lights illuminate a delicate symbol of scales falling from one end.

The moment he saw the scale, Sirius was convinced that Hales House really had an inseparable relationship with Menawaka.

Mary introduced from the side: "This huge tent, we call it the tent, is also the main building of the House of Hales, which is what I said before, the building left by the great businessman of the Silent Era.

"The huge balance on the top of the tent is rumored to be the symbol of Menawaka, and now it has also become the symbol of Hales House. This station is very lively, and there may be thousands of people coming and going every day."

As they approached, the surroundings did gradually become lively.

Surrounding the tent, there are various small tents around Hales House, as well as some small buildings that are glued together.

Mary said that those small tents were explorers who came here and were unwilling to stay in expensive hotels, so they camped with tents; and those buildings were built by people who often lived in Hales House, and some were settled. It was built by the aborigines of the tribe here.

Compared with the desert where Biddle City is located, Hales House is more like being located in a wild plain.If it is daytime, people will only see the withered and yellow grass nearby.

And at night, they can hardly see anything.The thick darkness was like octopus ink sprayed directly on their eyes.

But the closer you got to Hales House, the brighter it all seemed.

According to Mary, they first went to the low houses, found one of them, and deposited the horses there.They also put their luggage here for the time being.It is said to be one of the properties that Langmeer bought here.

Siles looked at the small house with a little concentration.Its height is only about two meters. For ordinary humans, although it will not touch the head, it is indeed too short.Perhaps, this is a feature of the House of Hales?

Chester asked curiously about the price of the property here, and Mary replied casually, "It's probably tens of thousands of duke coins, converted into the currency of the Duchy of Constance."

They couldn't help but be speechless.

Mary led the four feather horses into the stable, and tended them for some time.They waited for Mary, and they talked about the price of the house on the matter.

Doctor Chester lamented that he might not be able to afford a house in Ramifa City.

"Are the houses in Lamifa very expensive?" Siles couldn't help asking.Because he also considered buying real estate in Ramifa City.

Although the dormitory at Ramifa University is convenient, it is too small.Siles only stayed for one semester, and he felt that his own things—especially books, literature, etc.—had filled the small study.

He really wanted an apartment with a large separate study.

And Dr. Chester obviously knew about the relevant market.

After Chester's popular science, Siles gradually understood that the real estate in Lamifa City is mainly divided into two types: apartments and single-family houses.The former is similar to No. 13 Milford Street, and also similar to No. 6 Hayward Street where he lives now.

Overall, although apartments are cheaper, they only have decades of property rights and are relatively small in size.

In addition, people living in the apartment are always mixed, and no one knows whether the neighbors they greet every day are some terrible followers of the old gods, trying to awaken the old gods in endless madness.

Therefore, condos are not considered very much when it comes to buying a home. ("At least for you, Professor Noel." Chester specifically reminded.)

Apparently, a college professor who should be decent in theory doesn't like living in a rough apartment.That might put Sirius' reputation on par with Professor Cabell's.

...although Siles himself didn't care much about it.

However, the apartment did not meet the requirements of Siles, mainly because of privacy and security issues.

Siles should also have a self-knowledge that he is a revealer by now, and some materials that are not visible to the public are kept in his room.In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Siles wants to move.

Think of the manuscript of the painter Leon, think of the copy that the scribe Bart handed him... Those are very dangerous things.

As for the single-family house, according to Chester, it is actually buying a permanent land from Lamifa City, not a house, so this kind of house can allow the family to live for generations, at least for now. Such.

Therefore, the price of this kind of housing is naturally high.

"About [-] duke coins." Chester said, "The better ones may cost [-]. There are also houses with a price of tens of thousands. But such prices can only be aimed at those nobles or big businessmen.

"As for people with such identities, they may all choose the big houses in the northern or southern suburbs of Lamifa City, and they don't need to live in the crowded Lamifa City."

Siles nodded in agreement and thanked Chester.

"Are you interested in buying a property?" Chester asked.

"I have this idea. However, I may not be able to gather so much cash in the short term." Siles said, "The dormitory at Ramifa University is quite good."

Chester nodded and said, "Indeed."

Qin Duo, who had been listening all the time, looked at Siles thoughtfully after hearing the words.

Mary came out of the small house, thanked them for their patience, and led them to the camp.

Cendo walked to Sirius.In the night and the bright and dark lights, Sirius couldn't see his expression clearly.However, he did hear Qin Duo ask, "Are you short of money?"

Siles looked at him unexpectedly, then suddenly thought of the conversation he had with Chester just now, and couldn't help being slightly startled.He seemed to understand what Qin Duo was about to say, so he said, "It's not a lack of money, Qin Duo."

Qin Duo was not discouraged, he just continued: "But you said you can't afford a house in Lamifa City."

"...It just takes a little time to save money." Siles felt a little helpless.

To be honest, he still has the dividends from the Grayson Foods Company and the money he earned from the novel "The Revenge of the Rose", which is more than enough to afford the main house.

But Siles didn't intend to spend the dividend of the two thousand duke coins.He intends to use it on the shop on Dawson Street in Lamifa West City, or it can be said to help the street children in Lamifa West City.

Therefore, if it is just the manuscript fee plus salary, Siles still needs to save some money before he can buy a house that suits his wishes.

Qin Duo nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I see."

Siles looked at him suspiciously, perhaps as if he were frightened.He kind of wants to know what Qin Duo understands, but he also thinks that maybe he is being overwhelmed.

In the end, he couldn't ask his doubts, because they had already arrived at the front entrance of the tent.

The closer you get, the more the brownish fabric of this huge tent will block out the sky and the sun.In the end, Siles even looked at the tall tent in shock, unable to imagine how people from the Silent Era built it.

Perhaps this is with the help of supernatural power.Perhaps this is an ordinary enlarging ceremony, turning the originally small tent into the huge one it is today.

The guard at the door lifted one of the entrance cloths and said politely, "Welcome to Hales House."

They went in.

It was almost as expected that Siles discovered that there was not only one layer in the tent, but three layers.The interior space seemed extremely large, which immediately reminded Siles of the space behind the door of the Historical Society.

This bustling place is almost entirely made of a wonderful fabric, but it doesn't look fragile in the slightest.

A road made of strong and heavy cloth that people can walk on.The fabrics of different materials and colors are divided into different blocks and shops, and the cloth doors of some shops are put down, so it looks quiet.The fabric also apparently has the function of sound insulation.

The cloth doors of some shops are rolled up, revealing the scene inside.Siles saw taverns, gambling halls, hotels, etc., which were obviously very lively, and it was a place where explorers of the Never Embers enjoyed themselves.

Different patterns are painted on the fabric doors of the shops, suggesting the goods and services sold or sold inside.

People come and go.Siles saw peddlers with baskets on their backs, imposing businessmen, and explorers with vigilant expressions. Of course, there were also some unknown people. disgusted.

A light of unknown origin illuminates the interior of the tent.Siles confirmed it, only to find that the cloth from the surroundings - glowing cloth!It's incredible.

After he came to this world, he had never heard of any self-luminous things, except...

Alva muttered, "I suspect that the first big merchant was probably a cloth merchant."

They all smiled at the whimsy of the young man.

Alva's words also interrupted Siles' train of thought.Siles didn't continue to think about it, but just looked at this wonderful scene thoughtfully.

Mary smiled and said: "There is such a guess. However, people can't verify their guesses."

The strange scene inside the tent prevented them from acting hastily.They stood on the edge of the entrance corridor, staring ahead in wonder.

On the whole, the interior of the tent is a bit like a space made up of three layers of donuts, hollow, surrounded by a circle of buildings and shops.The place where they entered was at the very bottom of the first layer of donuts.

Here, they can directly see the lively performances, juggling, etc. that are going on in the hollow part.There are countless human beings in strange clothes, and mutations are by no means uncommon.

The camp tent is extremely high and empty, and most of the area above it is empty.Siles was surprised to see that there was actually a winged person flying non-stop in the upper area.

Mary suddenly said: "This year's birdman's wings are really good. They can fly for so long."

Some explorers passing by heard what Mary said, and they immediately responded: "Yes! The birdman used to fly for a few minutes and it was useless, bah, the wings grew as if they didn't grow. Now this one is a little means bird."

Mary nodded, smiling brightly, and said, "I hope this bird man can live longer."

The tone of their conversation was very ordinary, as if this was the talk of all the people living in the land of no embers.Siles looked up at the flying birdman.

Looking from a distance, it was a naked young man, neither gender nor any emotion brought about by that lonely flight.

For a moment, Sirius felt that the bird man seemed to break through the fabric of the tent and fly into the endless sky.But in the blink of an eye, he realized that the white cloth was still firmly restricting the flying space of the birdman.

Siles didn't look any further, lowered his eyes, and sighed inwardly.

At this moment, he finally fully felt the cold and dark background of Land of No Embers.He could understand why this situation happened, and he could also maintain a cold silence at this moment, but a certain part of his heart always felt incredible because of it.

Qin Duo sneered at the side, and said: "So... this is the land of no embers." His tone suddenly became gentle, "Siles, this is the land of no embers."

Siles was silent for a moment, looked at him sideways, and then said: "I know." His tone was very light, without any emotion, "I know this is the Land of No Embers."

Those emerald green eyes stared fixedly at him.The gray-haired man almost bullied Siles in front of him, and finally, he laughed."I'm glad you realized that," he said.

On the other side, Alva watched with great interest the juggling and performances in the central open space.He glanced at Sirius.

Chester said at the right time: "I'm following Alva, you...?"

"Let's go find someone," said Sirius. "Where can we meet later?" He looked at Mary.

Mary said: "There is Mr. Langmire's shop on the third floor, which sells potions. Just give my name. We will meet there then. It's getting late, and we'll see you in an hour."

Both Chester and Alva nodded.

Mary added: "You two gentlemen can stroll here. The camp of the Hales House is generally safe."

So they separated.

Mary looked at Sirius and asked, "Where is the person you are looking for?"

"A tavern," said Siles first, and then recalled the information revealed in the letter from Alfonso Carlyle.After a moment, he added, "Hales House has been open for at least ten years."

Alfonso's letter mentioned that they learned in a tavern that some of Isherwood's expeditions had survived.The owner of the tavern had witnessed the appearance of the companion.

Considering that Isherwood disappeared ten years ago, it is very likely that the encounter between the tavern owner and the survivor also happened ten years ago.

It is precisely because of the uproar about Isherwood’s expedition that year—even the noble lady suspected of mentioning Isherwood’s actions—that the tavern owner was deeply impressed by the fact that some members of the team survived that year. I can still recall my impressions even ten years later.

Of course, this is Siles' speculation.Whether the owner of the tavern can be found depends on the follow-up actions.In any case, they had to take the initiative to try, and Siles didn't know where Alfonso and Emmanuel were now.

"A tavern that has been open for ten years..." Mary pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "This is rare. Please come with me, we have to go to the second floor—the wine glass should be called this name."

"Clink the wine glass".Sounds a bit random.Siles thought.However, it is also very easy to remember.

On the way to the second floor, Siles was always worried because of the cloth floor, and looked down at the ground from time to time.Of course, there was no such tension in his usually cold, expressionless face.

But Cendo kept watching him.

So when going up the stairs, Qin Duo suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Do you want to catch me?"

Sirius looked at him slightly surprised.

Qin Duo looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "It's already wrapped around the waist, so it doesn't matter if you hold hands?" He shrugged casually, "You can do whatever you want."

Siles was silent.

Mary in front of her stopped and looked at their stalemate strangely.

Cendo's hand still appeared in front of Siles.

At this moment, there was a crowd of people around, and there were people waiting for them not far away, and Qindo waited so patiently that almost overturned all his old impressions of Qindo.

He thought of the stable and steady back on the horse's back.During the long journey, apart from feeling the bumps of the road, Siles didn't notice other discomforts, even the initial embarrassment has been forgotten.

It wasn't until this moment that Siles realized Qin Duo's invisible thoughtfulness.

Qin Duo may not have this self-knowledge.He may just feel that this is as it should be.He may not have any sense of closeness or distance.He just felt he should do it for Sirius.

because……

Because this is Siles.His Professor Sirius Noel.

Siles had no time to think, and reached out to hold Qin Duo's wrist.

……wrist?

Qin Duo raised his right hand wordlessly, then raised his eyebrows, and said with a little playfulness, "Professor Noel, what do you think this is?" He moved his fingers like waves.

Siles said very calmly: "Finger."

Qin Duo looked at him unexpectedly, and then laughed.He said, "Forget it."

They seemed to have reached an agreement invisibly, and then they tacitly let go of this topic and followed Ms. Mary's footsteps.Mary's eyes flicked around their hands, and then she smiled very meaningfully.

However, she did not make any comments or ridicule on this.

When they came to the second floor, Siles let go of Qin Duo.Qin Duo's eyes fell on his right wrist thoughtfully, and after a while, he touched it lightly with his fingertips.

... Siles' body temperature.he thinks.

It was obvious that they were more intimate when they were on horseback, but Qin Duo felt a slight touch at this moment.Just because of the temperature on the wrist.

"We should go in." Sirius reminded him.

Cendo turned his head and saw Sirius, especially the still calm and indifferent face.Suddenly, he felt a burst of irritability, as if the feeling of secret joy just now had completely disappeared, and it had become much worse.

But in the end, he suppressed his emotions and followed Siles' footsteps.

Glass Clink is a very quiet bar.The guests here have a surprisingly laid-back air about them.

Mary introduced from the side: "The main guests here are the permanent residents of Hales House. Explorers who come and go are unlikely to come here, but residents who have lived for a long time will like it."

Sirius nodded thoughtfully.

That, he thought, might explain why Alfonso and Emmanuel were here.What they needed was news about Hales House over the past decade, not just one or two occasional incidents.

The interior decoration of the store is also still made of fabric.If you don't count the soft, tough material feel, it's almost like a white wall.However, the feeling of Siles stepping on it made him clearly know that it was some kind of strange fabric.

The moment he walked into the tavern, he had an uncomfortable association: he thought, this is like walking in the stomach wall of some huge creature.

That soft fabric?

No, that soft esophagus muscle.

... Siles thought, the Grayson incident really left him with too much psychological shadow.

he didn't have much
