The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

After Siles closed his eyes, Cindo supported him.At the same time, Qin Duo looked at Mary, with gloomy eyes and gestured: close your eyes.

Mary was not surprised.What matched the great strength of the explorer, Cindo Playa, was his eccentric, arrogant personality and habits.Usually, before he made a move, Gindo would signal the other explorers to close their eyes.

Of course, if the other party didn't close it, then Qin Duo wouldn't care—however, his "strange" abilities were also spread through these explorers who witnessed his abilities and became crazy afterwards.

Mary didn't want herself to become that crazy, and besides, she didn't need to provoke Qindo at this time.

So she closed her eyes.

Qin Duo nodded in satisfaction, then opened the booklet he had been holding in his arms with one hand, and casually flipped to a page.It looks like a travel book, because besides the text, there are some simple drawings.

However, a lot of those words were missing, as if they were deliberately smeared out.

Qin Duo looked at Siles before continuing his actions.The travel book was floating in the air, Qin Duo's fingers slid on the paper randomly, and then stopped suddenly.

He "pinched" a word in the travel notes and "lifted" it from the paper.That is the word "drive".

The complete sentence before and after is probably a nomadic tribe who needs to drive wild animals from time to time in temporary settlements.But Qin Duo just picked up one of the words.

When he took this word away, the words before and after it became slightly dim, like words written when the ink was not enough.But Qin Duo didn't change his face, and didn't care about it.

He flicked the word up casually, and then, a group of gray-white mist suddenly expanded, covering the sky above them, and also blocked the shadow that covered them.

After the scene was stalemate for a while, suddenly, it seemed as if an invisible hand fiddled with it lightly, and then, the clouds were cleared.All stagnant, stiff atmosphere is gone.

"It's solved." Qin Duo casually put the booklet back into his pocket, and said.

Mary opened her eyes first, and asked a little cautiously: "Can I look up?"

"Okay." Qin Duo said.

Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Sirius suddenly opened his eyes.He seemed to want to say something, but suddenly stopped, and then said in a daze: "It's snowing."

Fine white snow floated from the sky, and fell on Sirius' cheeks and shoulders.His already pale skin became even colder.Qin Duo wiped the water drops on his face and patted him on the shoulder.

Only then did Sirius recover, and he whispered: "It's okay." He took a last look at the fog not far away, and then said, "Let's go back to Hales House first."

After all this, when they returned to the camp of the Hales House, it was already past five o'clock.

Hungry and thirsty, they went back to the low house to settle the feather horse, and then rushed to the camp to eat without stopping.Alva and Chester were not in the low house, and Sirius suspected that they went to find the hotel proprietress Audrey, or went to the tent for dinner.

But when they reached the central open space on the first floor of the tent, Siles realized with shock that sometimes his imagination was not rich enough.

...Alva and Chester were actually playing cards with other explorers next to the circus tent!

They were obviously playing Destiny Cards, and it was the card battle mode that Sirius proposed.The scene was extremely lively, Alva and Chester took turns being dealers and players, while other explorers lined up to participate in their poker games in pairs.

Sometimes the battle speed is extremely fast, so the next two explorers eagerly urge the first two players to leave quickly, and the first two players have no choice but to reluctantly leave the table under the eyes of other explorers , to requeue.

Sometimes the speed of the battle is extremely slow, but the explorers are not in a hurry, but watch with relish, and will come up with some bad ideas, which annoy the players in the game.

The queue was extremely long, at least dozens of explorers were queuing up, waiting eagerly.

There was a meaning in their eyes that didn't quite fit the atmosphere of Never Embered, like joy, anticipation and joy.Some explorers who have already played a round of cards even discussed with each other the matching of cards and the way of playing.

Suddenly, someone shouted at Alva and Chester: "Gentlemen, can we make this kind of cards ourselves!"

In this era, there is actually no such thing as copyright, but those fate cards are obviously very beautiful and expensive, so the explorers decided to ask the person who took out the cards first.

Alva was clearly having fun, his face was flushed and his eyes were excited.He was also caught off guard by the sudden popularity of Fate Cards, he hesitated for a moment, and then said cheerfully: "Of course! You guys have fun!"

There were cheers from around, and many explorers got impatient in queuing up. They were a little angry at first, but now the anger has completely disappeared.They talked in twos and threes, discussing how to make new cards.

"It doesn't need to be beautiful, just pieces of paper and words are enough!"

"You have to use hard cardboard! Otherwise, it will be broken in a while!"

"I'll look for it, there must be one nearby!"

It didn't take long for the explorers to collect the hard cardboard needed for the new two decks of cards, and also found a tavern owner who could write to help them write the cards on the cards.

While writing, the tavern owner listened with great interest to the explorers explaining the rules of the game, and from time to time he showed an expression of enlightenment and interest, and seemed very interested in this gameplay.

Sure enough, after the two decks of cards were completed, the tavern owner became the player of one of the cards without hesitation.

The central open space on the first floor of the entire tent has now become a lively chess and card room full of people cheering.

Siles: "..."

He, Qin Duo, and Mary had already had dinner, and when they returned here, seeing such a lively scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Mary was also very interested in this game, and after talking to them, she went to line up.

More cards are in the works and people can't wait.

Siles heard that they called this kind of card game "Noel's card battle", or Noel's card for short.It seems that when Alva and Chester explained the rules, they said that the idea came from "Professor Noel".

... Siles thought slightly guilty, he seemed to have brought some bad atmosphere into this world.

Qin Duo said with great interest from the side: "It seems... Alva's statement is really possible to come true? The card game you proposed will become popular in this world."

At this moment, the game between Alva and Chester just ended.Alva and Chester yelled that they were starving to death, so they packed up their cards and left for the time being.The explorers with them did not hesitate to join other new games.

Chester saw Siles and Qindo standing in the corner, so he walked over with Alva.

Alva said proudly: "How is it, professor? I'm right! This game will definitely become popular! After that, there will be mass production of cards, and the game will be promoted to the whole world..."

As he spoke, he fell into a beautiful fantasy.

Siles knew well that the so-called "Noel's card" was just one of the 54 cards.In the future, simpler or more complex gameplay will appear, and people will gradually have their own tendencies according to different regions.

...But anyway, it made Sirius feel kind.

Chester patted Alva on the shoulder with a smile, and then explained why they played cards with other explorers.

After the lunch break, Chester and Alva came to the camp.Because of the death of the head of the circus, the circus was also temporarily closed.The entire camp was as silent as death, filled with a feeling that it was about to explode, on the verge of madness.

They were almost on the verge of witnessing a conflict.A few explorers wanted to leave, and a few others just came in.For some reason, the two parties were at a stalemate with each other.

Chester and Alva are among them.

When he heard this, Siles couldn't help but sweat for them.

Chester pointed at Alva at this time, and said helplessly: "I thought that we might not have time to escape, but at this moment, Alva suddenly took out the fate card from his pocket and asked those explorers if they wanted to escape. Come play cards.

"...It's unbelievable. At that time, I was stupid with those explorers, but Alva could still talk and laugh freely."

"...No, no, doctor, I was so scared!" Alva said hastily, "I was thinking that there was nothing I could do. I touched the cards in my pocket, and then I thought that maybe I could try to let them play the cards. The outcome is determined.”

Chester smiled and nodded: "Yes. Two groups of people, one from each side, plus me and Alva, this is the first game of the game. Afterwards, more and more explorers gathered around. It's what you saw."

Siles nodded in understanding, and asked again: "Alva, why do you carry the cards with you?"

"Because the proof card you took out before scared me!" Alva said, "I never thought that the first proof card would appear in the land of no embers.

"So, when I woke up after taking a nap, I decided to take this deck of cards with me—what if it gets stolen! It's more reassuring to carry it with me."

Siles thought to himself, it might be safer to put it over the short house.

But he could understand Alva's mentality.Valuables or personal storage is more assured.

...and it's a wonderful thing that it should have gotten people into a game of poker by accident.Eciles analyzed the current situation of the House of Hales, and he believes that it may not be a bad thing for explorers to indulge in the joy of playing cards.

Perhaps that can make many conflicts and battles disappear invisible.Perhaps this kind of thinking is just that Siles is too optimistic.

After talking about the cards, Alva called for dinner.

Chester was more calm, and asked softly, "How is your investigation going?"

Siles and Qindo looked at each other, and then he said: "There are some results, but... more evidence is needed."

Chester nodded understandingly, and said, "Let's talk about it later."

He and Alva went to eat first.

Siles looked for Mary, and found that Ms. Mary had already played cards with other explorers, and she looked quite superior.Siles and Qindo greeted her, and then went back to the low house first.

The hustle and bustle of the camp was completely isolated from them.The snowy withered wasteland has a more desolate feeling.The dry green ground is covered with a layer of white snow, as if frozen, as if pure.

After returning to the low house, Sirius couldn't help but sigh wearily.

"Are you tired?" Qin Duo asked.

Siles said, "Don't you think it's a very busy day?"

"That's true," said Gyndo, "but with you, I'm happy anyway."

Siles gave him an odd look, and then said, "You've suddenly become nasty, Gyndo."

Qin Duo laughed softly: "I have to let you feel my sincerity all the time."

Siles shook his head and said, "It's up to you. I'll take a shower first."

"...Actually, you are very happy!" Qin Duo said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, I have already decided so."

Siles looked at him silently, noncommittal, took a towel and a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.The hot water washed away his fatigue and chill, and also helped him sort out his thoughts to some extent.

Ginkgo went to another bathroom to take a shower.When he came out, he saw Sirius sitting on the bed in the bedroom, brushing his hair absently, while thinking about something with downcast eyes.

Cendo shook his wet hair, then strode towards Sirius."You don't wear much clothes," he said.

Siles came back to his senses, and then said, "I think I've thought of a very important point."

Cendo looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he just put a coat on Siles."What?" he asked, brushing his own hair, but looking at Celeste more intently.

He saw a drop of water falling from the end of Sirius's hair, landed on Sirius' neck, then gradually slid down to the collarbone, and finally disappeared into the neckline.He swallowed almost uncontrollably, then cleared his throat, and sat upright silently.

Siles didn't care about Qin Duo's reaction at all, or rather, he didn't pay attention.

He just said to himself: "Lila found the workers, and the workers started to disappear. The timing of these two incidents seems to have been somewhat blurred."

Qin Duo was at a loss for a moment before remembering who Lila was.

He said without hesitation: "Of course Lila found the workers first, and then the workers started to disappear...etc." He suddenly realized.

Siles said: "Yes, that's it. If the workers were missing, Lila would not be able to find them, and would not even dare to look for them. So Lila found them first. It was an instinctive reasoning process. , we all acquiesced to that."

"Yes." Qin Duo nodded, "Then?"

"And then..." said Siles, "and then Lila became a statue too. That's the most incredible thing."

"That's true. The workers had nothing to do with Huddoka in the first place, but with the Stardust mine vein. And that was already a year ago..." As he spoke, Qindo suddenly understood what Siles meant, Can't help but pause, looking at Siles.

"Keep rubbing your hair, it's not dry yet," said Siles.

"Oh...oh." Qin Duo replied dryly, and then continued to wipe his slightly long hair.His gray hair was naturally curly, and the length fell to his shoulders. Judging by the standards of ordinary men in this era, it must be too long.

However, men in Kansas seem to have long hair, so Jindo's hair seems to be relatively short.

Siles's thoughts turned to the question of "braids" because of the mysterious Kansas explorer who pointed out that "there are palaces floating in the sky."

He then continued: "The fact that Lila has been turned into a statue because of the workers who are already so weakly connected to Huddoka...it seems inconceivable.

"So, could it be that we reversed cause and effect?

"If the sequence is wrong, if it's not the workers who caused Lila's death, but Lila who caused the workers' death, then everything seems to make sense."

Wasn't what happened to the workers in the Stardust mine a year ago that indirectly caused Lila's death—that would be too "indirect", so indirect that people doubt that the "curse of stardust" is really so serious?So why didn't the workers die a year ago?

But...

Lila.Joseph and Lila.

These two men had mysteriously appeared in Biddle City a few years ago, mad and ostracized.No one knew why they were in Biddle City.No one knows exactly what they provoked.

Another problem that has always concerned Siles is that when they first met Joseph at the flea market in Biddle City, Joseph's face was full of tension, fear and anxiety.

It was said at the time that he was looking for Lila who had disappeared and who had killed her.However, that expression was out of tune with what he was doing.Shouldn't he be more sad?Shouldn't you be a little more angry?

That expression seemed to herald—a catastrophe was imminent.

He was so panicked because he knew why Lila had disappeared and what was about to happen.

The things they had fled from once again caught up.

Siles fell into a moment of contemplation, and then shared the results of his thinking with Qindo.

"It's logical." Qin Duo said, "However, how did the mastermind know about Lila's existence?"

"Some followers of the old gods know the nature of Stardust." Sirius said, "Well... I suspect that the group of people we are investigating must know."

Qin Duo nodded in agreement.

Siles said: "Then, it is very likely that they have been paying attention to these merchants and workers who dig up star dust, waiting for the right time to choose and devour them.

"They may want immediate revenge, but they're working on a 'big plan'. Around this time last year, and a little earlier, they were probably planning to take advantage of the Temiya followers.

"So, they postponed their retaliation a bit, not wanting to attract the attention of more big shots. However, I actually suspect that the collapse of the mine vein last summer was done by those people."

"It's very possible," Qindo whispered. "Look at what they just did to us. If it weren't for your sharpness...we might have lost to their madness."

Siles nodded, this is exactly a premise of his speculation.Those followers of the Old Gods are actually pretty crazy, only being more tolerant because they're busy with other things.

Even so, after Siles and Jindo walked out of the mine, they still decided to use the "Temple of Belan" to kill Siles and the others.

Perhaps it was because they realized that Siles was tracking down the workers.And that was related to Lila, and it was likely to reveal their intention, so they decided to kill without hesitation.

Siles said: "So, they should have been monitoring that group of workers. Even if they don't retaliate now, they will retaliate later, so they must continue to pay attention-this is their thinking.

"So...they found Lila. Then they didn't hesitate to attack. Perhaps because they wanted to attack, they also killed the workers at the same time."

Qin Duo said thoughtfully: "Do you think it is these followers of the old gods that Joseph and Lila are afraid of?"

Siles said: "I think..." He paused before expressing his speculation, "I think that Joseph and Lila were also followers of the old gods, but they defected in the end."

Qin Duo exclaimed in a low voice, and he asked with interest: "Why do you think so?"

A defector among the followers of the Old Gods.This is not non-existent either.Siles thought.Dominique, the investigator in the past church, is an example.

Dominique was originally a follower of the god of asceticism and silence, Broncani, but because he couldn't bear the concept of the torture seminar, he eventually quit the torture seminar and switched to the church of the past.

Human ideas and opinions are always changing all the time, so it is possible to stop believing in a certain god because of the change of thinking-after all, in the period of fog, the believers of these old gods are also essentially It's just a mob.

Siles sighed slowly, and finally said, "Just a guess." He paused, then added, "Remember the doctor's story?"

"The half-man, half-statue guy he met at night?" Cinder asked.

"Yes." Siles said, "don't you think it's strange? It's half a man, half a statue. It's the first time I've heard of it. These victims either turned directly into statues, or died directly during the process of becoming statues.

"But that guy, dragging his heavy lower body that turned into a statue, has been crawling for an unknown how long. And the next day, when the doctor went to look for him again, he mysteriously disappeared again."

Qin Duo understood: "You mean, he is in the same situation as Joseph and Lila?"

Siles nodded: "Half man, half statue...it's unbelievable. It's as if he's split in two, and one half will become a statue, and the other half won't.

"I guess, I am afraid that this special situation may only happen to the former believers of Huddoka. The past beliefs are completely opposite to the current ideas, and it will show such contradictory results.

"Besides...someone picked up his body, or rather, someone has been following him. This is somewhat similar to the situation of Joseph and Lila. They also hid in Biddle City anonymously.

"When the half-man, half-statue guy appeared in front of the doctor, he was asking the doctor for help. Chester didn't misunderstand this."

"And Joseph and Lila hid in Biddle City for several years." Qindo's voice gradually became low, "Until Lila wanted to find a job for Joseph because of his improved mental state, so she found those workers."

They were all silent for a moment.

"We don't know when Joseph and Lila appeared in Biddle City. A few years ago...how many years ago?" Siles said, "But the time when the doctor met that guy is certain, That was seven years ago.

"...Seven years ago. I guess Joseph and Lila also appeared in Biddle City seven years ago."

And seven years ago, that was the moment when Alfonso Carlyle announced to the public that he had discovered a tribal ruin.

Siles knew that Alfonso used a pen that surpassed the technology of this era in the Principality of Const to prove that his words were true and that he had indeed discovered a tribal relic.

So, what about in the Never Embers?The explorers here are equally skeptical about this matter. Some people think that Alfonso is grandstanding, and some think that Alfonso treasures himself, or swallows all the treasures of the ruins.

This is all possible, but they all seem to have acquiesced that there is indeed such a thing - there is indeed a person who claims to have found a tribal relic.

The emergence of this collective memory must also require some evidence, right?Alfonso must have produced something to prove it.Perhaps it was the same pen.

Seven years ago, that pen caused a split in a certain group of followers of the old gods; seven years later, that pen sent Professor Kabell and Assistant Professor Mervyn to the Land of Eternity, and they are still missing.

Why?In the eyes of a caring person, what does a pen represent?

What can a pen represent?

Pen... besides writing, is there any other purpose?

After thinking for a long time, Siles finally admitted that he still couldn't come up with a result.They have indeed sorted out many trivial things, but they are still far from the ultimate truth.

It would be better to say... In fact, until now, they have not had a dialogue or conversation with any party directly related to this matter.

Alfonso, Emmanuel, Professor Cabell, Assistant Professor Mervyn, Joseph, Lila...anyone.Anyone who knows what statues, pens, temples, etc. symbolize.

However, despite all this, one thing has become very obvious-Hales House.This is the stage and altar prepared by those followers of the old gods.

……and many more!

Siles was startled suddenly, then stood up abruptly: "Camp!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Duo asked.

"They killed the head of the circus to make the camp chaotic." Siles took a deep breath and explained calmly, "but now the camp has returned to calm again, and even became happy. That's because ——Alva took out the fate card.

"So, if Alva and the doctor continue to stay at the camp, they may be in danger."

Qin Duo's expression also quickly became serious.He asked, "Do you think they've gone crazy enough to kill explorers right inside their tents?"

Killing the head of the circus, although it will bring chaos, will not make the explorers directly feel the crisis; and those explorers who die in the process of turning into statues, to some extent, can also be said to die from own greed.

However, the situation of Alva and Chester is different.If they died directly in the camp, it would likely cause extreme panic and panic among the explorers, which in turn would cause even greater chaos.

And does that fit the idea of ​​the man behind the scenes?

Of course it does!

That's the chaos, the crime arena, that's exactly what they need.

"Perhaps," said Sirius, "didn't they just try to kill us in the wasteland? Anyway, we'll have to go back and see."

They were quickly changed, left the low house, and went to the camp again.The temperature outside was so low that Siles felt his bones creak when he walked around, as if he was frozen.

It is a snowy night.It was nearly seven o'clock, and the sky had completely darkened.

They reached the entrance to the camp ten minutes later.Before going in, Siles first stopped Qindo, pondered for a moment, and then put on [Akamala's spectacle frame].

He is still in ritual time now.He looked at the camp with a mentality of "trying will never lose anything".

... After a while, his hand holding Qin Duo suddenly froze.

"What did you find?" Qin Duo asked.

Siles sighed: "I feel... I will have to wear these glasses all day and night from now on."

"Won't that make myopia worse?" Cinder muttered.

Siles said, "Star dust is mixed in with the fabric of the camp tent." He paused, then added, "Huddoka's remains. That's why the fabric shines."

Qin Duo frowned, and said unabashedly: "It's disgusting."

"This further validates our thinking. This is where...they are preparing." Siles said, "But will they be here?"

Qin Duo asked: "Aren't they really the managers of Hales House?"

They continued to approach.The guards at the entrance of the tent raised the curtain for them as usual.

Siles said: "This is a very complicated issue." He paused, "Huddoka and Menawaka. And, the history of the change of this station... I really hope that Langmeer can find out something If something is useful, it can help us piece together the truth.

"However, as I said before, we now need to 'solve' this matter, not find the truth."

Qin Duo whispered: "You are right."

The explorers in the central clearing are still playing cards enthusiastically.A lot of people came up, and Sirius noticed that some were red-faced and arguing.But overall, the atmosphere was pretty relaxed, and they didn't gamble.

...Of course, in Land of Ashes where there is no unified currency, gambling is also prone to disputes.Siles guessed there might be some gambling business in some of the more hidden places, but at least Hales House didn't.

Mary is among them.But she was about to leave, when she saw Sirius and Qindo, she came over and asked, "Why are you back again?"

"We're looking for Chester and Alva," said Siles, who then explained, "They said they'd be back after dinner, but it's past seven. I'm worried that something happened to them."

He didn't express his thoughts to Mary clearly, and now he is only willing to trust Qin Duo, Alva and Chester.But it cannot be said that he is lying.He was indeed a little worried about the situation of these two people.

Mary showed a dazed look, and then said, "They may be in the restaurant on the second floor. Let's go find them together."

They went upstairs.Not long after, they found Alva at a restaurant.Alva was sitting there bored alone, imitating Sirius' shuffling technique, but he couldn't shuffle the cards perfectly.

Siles took a quick look at him and found that there was nothing unusual about him, at least [Akamala's spectacle frame] didn't see anything, which made him a little relieved.

But then, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Alva, where's the doctor?"

"The doctor said he was going to the bathroom." Alva replied, and then belatedly asked, "Hey, why are you here?"

"Ms. Mary, please stay here with Alva." Siles said without hesitation, then turned and left the restaurant.Qin Duo followed behind him.

Alva still didn't understand what happened.

Siles quickened his pace.The bathroom on the second floor was at the end of the corridor. When Sirius walked there, he happened to meet Dr. Chester coming out of it.

Chester also looked at them unexpectedly, and said, "What's going on..."

"Stop!" said Siles at once. "Don't come out."

Chester was taken aback and stood there subconsciously.He stood just a short step behind the bathroom threshold.

From Siles' perspective, he saw a hazy, light black-gray mist lingering around Chester's body.That is not a real mist, but some kind of "color" smeared around Chester's body, in a symbolic sense.

And that kind of mist is faintly connected with those strange fabrics outside the washroom.

...To be precise, it is connected with those stardust.

what happened?Siles pondered the symbolic meaning of this scene.

The star dust here is obviously the remains of Huddoka, and the vicious howling sound is exactly the same as what Sirius "perceived" in the underground mine.But why is there that strange fog on the doctor?

It's like... tagging.

What would happen if he walked out of the bathroom?What would happen if he walked out of the tent?What if... he met Alva?

Siles asked, "Doctor, did you meet anyone in the bathroom just now?"

Chester looked bewildered and nervous. He tried to maintain his composure, but his voice still couldn't help trembling when he spoke: "I met an explorer...we accidentally bumped into the shoulder. Nothing else .”

"Shoulders..." Siles whispered.

Cinder said, "Take off your coat."

Both Siles and Chester looked at him, and then Chester followed Qin Duo's instructions.

Slowly, with a little nervousness, as if afraid of what was about to happen, he took off his coat in an extremely awkward posture, and then flung it into the bathroom.

Then he trembled and said, "What, how?"

Siles took a closer look at his whole body, and found that the black-gray mist had disappeared.The cloud of mist followed the jacket to the depths of the bathroom.He said, "Doctor, come out slowly."

Chester moved slowly, and finally walked out safely without any accident.

He was greatly relieved.

He gasped violently, then slowly calmed down his nervous mood.Although he had made psychological preparations, when he really encountered such a dangerous thing, he still felt extremely scared.

After calming down, Chester asked, "So, there was something wrong with that explorer just now?"

"I guess so," said Sirius, "but anyway..."

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Since it's still an indirect method of killing, it means that they haven't planned to tear their faces apart... That is to say, their plan has not been completely successful."

Qin Duo nodded in agreement and said, "We still have time."

Chester looked at them bewilderedly.

At this time, Mary and Alva also came over, and after asking what happened, they couldn't help feeling scared.

Mary said: "I'm afraid that coat needs to be dealt with. Maybe you can go back to your residence first. It is absolutely safe over there, and no one dares to do anything there. I will contact Miles later... Follow you."

She said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm also a little dereliction of duty."

"It's nothing, Ms. Mary." Siles said, "You are our guide, not our bodyguard. We also need to raise our vigilance."

Qin Duo laughed softly.

Siles glanced sideways at him.

"No, I have no problem. I agree with you very much." Qin Duo coughed and said seriously.

Siles looked at him carefully.
