The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Siles talked with Dominic for a long time, about his experience in the Never Embers, the truth behind the Grayson incident, and the followers of the old gods in the Never Embers.

Dominique listened in silence, momentarily catching light, and finally, it all came down to a sigh.

He said: "It seems that the truth is like this. Unexpectedly, you went to the Land of No Ashes and finally solved the truth of the Grayson incident."

Siles replied in a low voice: "It's just a coincidence. How is the investigation in the city going?"

Before Siles went to the Land of Embers, there were still a lot of investigations going on in Lamifa City, including the mysterious organization, including the source of food in the palace, and so on.

"About the source of the food. After they got the portrait, in order to save time, they used the corpse of the police station... The Grand Duke was furious about this, and thoroughly investigated some illegal corruption in the city, but..."

Dominic shrugged.

"As for the food in the palace, there is nothing wrong with the purchase list alone. We suspect that Elgar added some unlawful plant materials to the food...and this involves the mysterious organization."

Siles duly asked, "So, about that organization?"

Dominic shook his head regretfully. He said: "We have found some clues. However, these clues are all concentrated on Elgar. With his death, many things have been buried in the past. "

He sighed slowly, as if thinking of something else because of such words.

Siles couldn't help thinking about what happened in the kitchen after the dinner.Now that I think about it, that kind of death is like overwhelming the sea, subverting the lives of many people in an instant.

Finally, the conversation turned to Ramifa City's reaction to the Grayson affair.

"The main problem is that people are a little bit anorexic, but that's gotten better over time," Dominique said. "Also, the food they're eating... seems to be making residents less healthy, too. Especially some older people.

"This winter is very cold again... I heard that the business of Hume Pharmacy has been too good recently. I am afraid that many people will think that this is a difficult winter."

Siles was slightly taken aback, and then he also sighed.

Towards evening, he said goodbye to Dominique and left Church of the Past.Before leaving, he specially thanked Grosvenor for the two time tracks of [Nature's Boots] and [Akamala's Spectacle Frame].

After all, these two timelines did help him a lot in Everland, especially the latter.

Regarding this, Grosvenor just smiled slightly, and then said gently: "It's good to help you, Professor Noel."

Siles took a cab back to Ramifa University, and then went to the cafeteria for dinner.In the evening he continued to organize his papers.It's Tuesday night, November 11th.He hoped that he could finish the thesis within ten days, or even five days, otherwise it might be too late.

The good news is that he doesn't have to worry about failing to submit his paper.Publisher Benton was happy to help get his dissertation published and, of course, continued to press Siles to write a novel.

The day passed quickly.The next morning, when Siles went out, he received a letter from his mother, which mentioned that the weather was cold and asked him to keep warm.

Siles put the letter back in the room, then went to the Historical Society, and arrived at Room 177 in the space behind the door of the Historical Society on time.

"Good morning, sir," said Siles.

Grenfell was already there waiting for him.

"Good morning, Sirius." Grenfell said, "Lamifa University has started, I guess you will come here today."

Siles couldn't help laughing, and he gave Grenfell the souvenir he brought back from the Land of No Embers. It was a relatively unique three-dimensional album, and the content was the topography of the Land of No Embers.He thought Grenfell would like the format.

Grenfell took it, thanked him, and looked at him with great interest, then looked at Sirius for a while, and said: "I feel that you seem to have become milder. What did you encounter?"

"...a lover," said Sirius.

Grenfell suddenly realized, and then sighed slightly: "It's incredible that you have already found a lover. But I am still single, and it is obvious to the naked eye that I have to continue to be single."

Siles: "..."

He fell in love, it seems, it's not so unbelievable, right?

Siles looked at his teacher helplessly.

Grenfell only made fun of it a little bit, and then said seriously: "It's a good thing, to have a life partner. Of course, because you are the enlightener... no, wait, since you are in Infinity place……"

"He is a powerful explorer," Sirius whispered.

"That's great." Grenfell sighed. "You know, Sirius, I always want you to continue your research. It's a good thing that a powerful revealer can be your backing."

Siles nodded.From a certain point of view, Qin Duo's strength did give him some sense of security.Of course, he also hopes that he can have such a powerful strength.He didn't want to just hide behind Cendo's back.

Speaking of research topics though...

Siles considered it for a while, and then roughly talked about his experience in the Neverland.Grenfell was amazed when he heard this, and couldn't help saying: "The followers of the old gods are really a bunch of lunatics. As time goes by, they seem to have come to an end."

Sirius nodded slowly.He agrees with Grenfell's statement.

When the theory of the fall of the old gods first appeared, these crazy believers probably would not have appeared; however, after hundreds of years, the old gods have never appeared again, which seems very bizarre, and they have to believe in the old gods God seems to have really "died".

Moreover, among the believers of these old gods, there are some extremely devout believers who claim to have witnessed the fall of the old gods, such as Mrs. Debliss, such as some believers in Huddoka.

The existence of this kind of testimony will make some believers slowly and desperately accept the fact that the old gods have fallen, and at the same time, it will also make other believers insist on their beliefs even more incredible-are they wrong?No, the world is wrong.

"The old gods haven't fallen, the old gods just fell into a deep sleep, we need to wake up the old gods." The more obsessively they believe in this, the more they want to do something to show their firm beliefs and realize their long-cherished wishes.

The two groups of followers of the old gods that Sirius met in the past, the mastermind behind the Grayson incident and the Hales House incident, they all upheld this idea, and even inherited it in the same strain.

For ordinary people, the existence of the followers of the old gods has already troubled them.

strength.Siles thought.This is both a blessing and a curse.

Siles turned to say: "Teacher, my experience in Land of No Embers gave me some ideas."

Grenfell was taken aback, then asked, "What?"

Siles thought for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts on the outside world and the inside world.He used the metaphor of "superimposed shadows" again, and thus thought of Professor Kabell's unreasonable enthusiasm for "shadows".

Grenfell listened very carefully, and then he couldn't help sighing, "You are indeed a scholar."

Siles remained silent.

Grenfell seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "But, Sirius, I don't think you should think about these things at this time."

Siles froze.

"You are still young, and you have only stepped into the realm of the enlightener for less than half a year." Grenfell said earnestly, "Thinking about the nature of the world and power is a good thing, but you haven't studied this power well yet. .”

Siles immediately understood what Grenfell meant.He is trying to do a high-level work, but in fact, he needs to lay a good foundation first.

"Of course, you are already very good." Grenfell turned and said, "I heard that the Historical Society is promoting the self-reappearance ceremony recently, and returned the honor that belongs to you. That's very good, West Les, I'm so proud of you."

Siles rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

He heard it from his fellow historical societies when they met on Saturday.He didn't expect Grenfell to praise him with such a serious attitude.

Afterwards, Grenfell sighed with some concern: "But... that's why, Sirius. It's because of that. This is the winter after the troubled autumn. Troubled winter, if there is such a saying. "

Siles looked at Grenfell and listened very carefully.

"Those old men at the top of the Historical Society will think you stumbled across this important ceremony. They'll play dumb and forget about the three elements you mentioned about the gods. But, Sirius, someone will remember. ’ said Grenfell.

Siles's heart twitched, thinking of his office in the Historical Society being broken into.

He didn't think that was something Clarence did.Clarence is a follower of Blancaney, the god of asceticism and silence. He abides by the rules, and even deals with Siles very strictly within the rules.

That means that within the Historical Society, there are still other high-level hostile to Siles.On the contrary, they are more unscrupulous than Clarence.

This made Sirius sigh.

He completely understood what Grenfell meant.

On the one hand, there is no need for Siles to study too advanced theories at this time; on the other hand, he cannot continue to propose advanced theories at this time to challenge the nerves of those big men.

Grenfell also sighed, and said, "The Historical Society is a very annoying place, Siles."

"I understand, teacher." Siles replied, and he said, "Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to improve my strength."

He had wanted Gyndo to teach him how to fight, to be vigilant; he could just use this time.

Grenfell nodded in agreement, and then he said: "However, simple research topics can still be done. Do you know that Ms. Aston became the director of the research department?"

Bonita Aston.Ms. Aston was originally researching topics related to the strength of the soul; after Clarence forced Siles to withdraw from the research topic of spiritual pollution, this lady also took over the topic of Siles.

She's the new head of research, which is great news.Because Siles had a very good impression of this lady and her husband.

Grenfell said: "The ritual of self-reincarnation is being prepared for promotion. As far as I know, Ms. Aston added your name to the finalized ... er, according to you academics, thesis? Maybe not that rigorous. , perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a project report.

"In short, your name appears as the first author of this 'project report', but Ms. Aston's name does not appear. Now this project report has been submitted to the Presbyterian Church. In a few days will be published.

"Of course, this incident won her a lot of reputation in the second corridor and the third corridor, but it is a good thing for you after all."

Siles was a little surprised to learn this.He said sincerely: "It seems that I have to visit Ms. Aston."

"Indeed." Grenfell nodded, "She's a good person... I hope she can stay in the position of head of the research department for a while longer.

"When you visit her, you can also ask her for a subject to study. Anything is fine, sealed items, ritual remnants, the principle of reciprocity, blasphemy..."

Grenfell said several terms that Siles had never heard before.

Only then did Siles realize with shame that he was indeed eager for quick success recently.He pays too much attention to the power and the secrets of the world, but forgets that he still needs to live in this world down-to-earth.

He seriously reflected on himself, and also asked about the meaning of the terms Grenfell.

Sealed Artifact, Sirius naturally knew.

Ritual residue refers to the fact that some rituals will have long-term effects on creatures or the environment after they are over.

Sirius could understand this.He thought about the groceries at Grayson Foods.After people tasted those foods, they showed an extraordinary greedy attitude.

"In addition to this, there is also a view that spiritual pollution, specifically referring to the pollution caused by using the power of the patron of the past, is also a part of the ritual residue." Grenfell said.

Sirius nodded thoughtfully.

Grenfell added: "I think you might be interested in this topic. However, Sirius, I still suggest that you don't touch topics related to spiritual pollution for a short time." He thought for a while and added Said, "At least not on the surface."

Siles had no choice but to say, "I don't necessarily want to continue studying spiritual pollution."

Grenfell was startled, he couldn't help but sized up Sirius, and then clapped his hands: "That's right. It's already a subject that you've studied thoroughly. Heck, those old men who are old-fashioned will never know who they are. What a gem to miss."

Siles: "..."

He felt that Mr. Glenn's analogy was a bit... er, exaggerated.Novelists from Earth have a hard time accepting such nasty compliments.

Grenfell continued to explain: "As for the principle of equivalence, this was proposed by some overly serious enlighteners. They believe that in the process of recreating the past, it is necessary to strictly follow the 'principle of equivalence', perfect Only by repeating everything that happened in the past can we achieve the best results.”

Siles was stunned, he thought for a while, and then said with some trouble: "This...won't it cause more serious mental pollution?"

Grenfell gave him a look, and said, "That's why I said they took it too seriously."

Siles nodded, understanding.

"However, within the Historical Society, there are still many revelators who follow the principle of reciprocity. I can't say how much their spiritual pollution is due to this principle, but their ritual fit has indeed improved a lot. "

"There are pros and cons," Siles said.

"Perhaps it is." Grenfell said, "As for the Ritual of Blasphemy...it's a bit disgusting to say. Most of the time tracks you encounter should be some kind of item, right?"

Siles nodded.

Grenfell said: "The Ritual of Blasphemy is also a ritual, but the timing of that ritual...is the dead body of a human being."

Siles was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "How can this happen again?"

"For example, find the bones of a patron from the past, and use his bones as a time track...It sounds incredible, doesn't it? But they did succeed."

As he spoke, Grenfell's voice gradually deepened.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is an even more terrifying ritual, which is directly called the 'blasphemous ritual'. When it was just proposed, this research alarmed the elders, and then it was directly rejected .”

A guess arose in Siles' mind, but it was a bit scary.

"...the living person." Grenfell said, "the timing of the blasphemy ritual is the living person itself. The power to directly reproduce a person's past rather than his 'item'. Directly denounced as blasphemy the behavior of."

Siles was silent for a moment, then said, "This is a little... unbelievable."

Grenfell shrugged and said, "That's true. However, in the past few years, there have indeed been a lot of weird subjects in the research department."

Wondered how much of it, Siles thought, was due to Clarence's influence.

He thought for a moment, then said: "So, maybe I should study the sealed item, teacher."

"Sealed Artifact." Grenfell thought for a while, "This is a good choice."

The subject of sealed items was first proposed by Clarence.Many people in the Historical Society knew about the conflict between Siles and Clarence.Now Siles still needs to keep a low profile and be cautious, but he doesn't want to give in blindly.

He also needs to show his attitude.

After deciding on this matter, their topic became more relaxed.

Siles asked about Grenfell's research, Grenfell rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Do you think everyone can do research as fast as you!"

Siles wisely kept silent.

Grenfell's tone softened a bit, and then he shook his head: "It's not that there's no progress. But... the actual effect is different from what I imagined." He rubbed his chin in a bit of trouble, lost in thought.

Finally, he said: "This is probably a very complicated subject."

Siles said, "I believe you will succeed."

"I hope." Grenfell said, "The weather is really cold, and I don't bother to think about these things these days. The temperature is so low, it seems that my brain is about to freeze."

Siles couldn't help but smile.

He said goodbye to Grenfell quickly, then went to the research department and found Ms. Aston in the supervisor's office.

Ms. Aston was wearing glasses and was browsing through some documents. At this moment, she greeted Siles with some surprise, and then said, "I heard that you went to the Land of No Embers, Professor Noel."

"Yes, just came back not long ago," said Siles. "Congratulations on becoming a supervisor, Ms. Aston."

Ms. Aston gave a wry smile instead.She took off her glasses and said with a low sigh, "I'd rather be obsessed with experiments than be busy with these administrative matters. Director of research is an embarrassing job."

"But you can also correct some unhealthy trends in the research department in the past period of time." Siles said.

"I hope so," Ms. Aston said, and she turned to say, "Your project, I have submitted the project report, in your name. This is your well-deserved honor."

"I heard about it. Thank you for your help after all."

"We don't have to be polite here." Ms. Aston said, "By the way, since you came to see me, do you want to participate in a new project?"

Siles nodded, and then said: "I intend to study sealed items. But I have never been involved in this field, so I want to study slowly...perhaps start from the most basic."

"Sealed Artifact!" said Ms. Aston in amazement, looking at him, and then said thoughtfully, "I see. I'll make arrangements. Maybe you can come here to meet you this Saturday morning new subject."

Siles smiled slightly, thanked Ms. Aston, and said goodbye to her.

After leaving the Historical Society, Siles originally wanted to have a meal nearby, but after hesitating, he took a cab to 32 Lowell Street.As expected, Qin Duo was packing things in the house.

"You're here!" Qindo greeted Siles very pleasantly.

Siles said: "I thought you should be moving, so I thought I should come. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I can help you clean up."

"I know. I know you're always so considerate," Cindo said complacently. "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

"Then let's go eat first." Qin Duo said.

They went to a nearby restaurant.Siles talks to Cinder about a new project he's about to have.

"Sealed Artifact..." Qin Duo read the word thoughtfully.

Out of control timing.Get the active timeline.Siles thought.That is the sealed item.

In a way, it's like gaining self-awareness... blah blah blah.Siles was taken aback suddenly.

Got a self-aware item?

He looked at his hand almost subconsciously.

……dice.With an extraordinary calmness, he suddenly realized, isn't the dice just like a sealed item?

In the past period of time, the performance of the dice has indeed become more and more active.In the explanation after the judgment, the tone of the dice is also more humane.

Siles frowned slightly.From this perspective, the dice seemed to be activated... However, Sirius himself did not feel any loss of spirituality.

Qin Duo seemed to be about to say something, but he noticed Siles' slightly serious expression, and asked, "What did you think of?"

"Go back and talk." Siles would not mention the matter of judgment in such a public place, "What about you?"

"Sealed item..." Qin Duo organized his words, "I just thought, you just said that the sealed item was first made by the followers of the old gods, so have they made some progress in related research?"

"for example?"

"For example... to resurrect the old gods?"

Siles was lost in thought.At this time, a word naturally appeared in his brain.

"container".

When Brewer Darrow died under the knife of his fiancée, when Carol used the "Words of the Dead" to have a final conversation with Brewer, they learned that the mastermind behind the scenes was creating a "vessel" to revive the old gods.

They thought it was Brewer himself.Because Brewer didn't want to do it, he let his fiancée kill him.

However, if you look at it from another angle...

Brewer's last words at the time were, "My family...that's a...container."

family?container?

What exactly is a "container"?

Siles thought for a while, and finally said helplessly: "There are so many secrets in this world."

Qin Duo nodded in agreement.

After lunch, they returned to No. 32 Lowell Street. While they were packing their things, Siles mentioned the dice that caught his attention.

Of course, he didn't say anything about his time travel.He just said that he was able to make that kind of "judgment" because he got a "dice".From Qin Duo's point of view, it was probably something similar to a time track.

Only then did Qin Duo suddenly realize, and he said with great interest, "No wonder you are so good at shuffling cards."

Siles: "..."

Are these two things related?

He looked at Qin Duo silently.

Qin Duo laughed, leaned over and kissed him, and then said: "Just kidding, don't be angry."

Siles ignored his joke and just asked, "Do you think that dice might be a sealed item?"

Qin Duo pondered for a while, and then said: "It's hard to say what the essence of your power is. However, it seems to be different from the power of the Enlightenment. Therefore, I think...

"It cannot be said that this dice is a sealed item. It may only be somewhat similar to the sealed item in some respects."

Siles nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Qin Duo's opinion.He also doesn't think that the power of the dice has anything to do with the power of the revealer... He means, in the matter of "reappearing" the past.

But he was suddenly moved by another possibility.

He thought, if he studied the sealed item in depth, would it be possible for him to establish a more stable communication with the dice?

At present, his communication with Dice is completely unilaterally informed by Dice.He and the dice cannot communicate, cannot exchange information, and the dice are always vague.But what if Siles took another look at the nature of dice more closely?

He was surprised that he hadn't thought about this question before.

Siles couldn't help standing there in a daze, lost in thought.

Qin Duo was no stranger to his habit, so he just shrugged and continued to pack his things.

After a while, Siles came back to his senses, walked up to Jindo and kissed him, and then said, "Thank you, you inspired me."

"I'm honored," Cinder said.

Siles then mentioned one more thing: "The books that Professor Calverley gave me may have to be put here. I'm afraid the small study at No. 6 Hayward Street can't fit them."

"Oh, that's great." Qin Duo laughed, "I'd be happy to keep your beloved items for you."

Siles looked at him suspiciously, because he felt that, in Cendo's style, it might not be that simple.

Sure enough, Qin Duo said again: "I hope you can also entrust your love to me for safekeeping."

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"...What are you laughing at?" Qin Duo asked dissatisfied.

Siles said, "I thought, you'd say, I give you my heart for safekeeping." His eyes rolled up in laughter. "That sounds like a horror story."

Qin Duo: "..."

Oh, novelist.

But when he saw Sirius smiling so rarely that his eyes curled up, he couldn't help but feel his heart soften, and he could only admit that he couldn't get angry.He sighed, and kissed Sirius softly on the lips.

Siles stayed here all afternoon on Lowell Street.Qin Duo didn't have too many things, so it wasn't troublesome to pack them up, but after all, they still had to clean the house, which took some time.

Siles still had a public elective class in the evening, so at four o'clock, Qin Duo urged him to go back to school.Siles exchanged a kiss with him, then bid him farewell and left.

In the evening, a strong wind blew in Lamifa City.When night fell, snowflakes floated in the sky.It's only mid-November.Siles couldn't help thinking so.

After the public elective class was over, he wrapped his coat and hurried back to No. 6 Hayward Street.After taking a hot bath, Siles felt his stiff body become flexible again.

He admitted that he had underestimated the coldness of Lamifa City in winter, and couldn't help thinking about the stove.However, he thought again that Lamifa City in the memory of the original body was not so cold yet.

Some bits and pieces of knowledge about earth geography flashed through his brain, and finally left sporadically.In the cold winter night, he began to miss the Internet of the earth again.

Waking up the next morning, Siles sneezed again and realized he had a hoarse voice and a splitting headache.

He sat quietly on the bed for a moment, then sighed.

In the first winter in another world, he froze himself and caught a cold.How could there be a traverser like him.

Fortunately, the symptoms are not very serious.Siles looked at the time, took the time to wash up, and then went to the school hospital.

"Good morning, Chester." Siles greeted Dr. Chester.

Chester was taken aback by his hoarse voice, and then said worriedly: "Professor, you really need to pay attention to your body."

"I'll keep an eye on it," Sirius whispered. "Perhaps you can prescribe me some medicine?"

"of course can."

The medicine that Chester prescribed for Siles was a concentrated soup made from herbs, and Siles needed to go back and brew it with warm boiled water.He sniffed it, and he felt a little relieved when he smelled the familiar spicy ginger smell.

... It's not that he doesn't trust Chester.He just doesn't trust the medical skills of this era.

This was the age when mental illness was identified as "insufficient devotion to the gods."He has to think about his own health.Although he fell ill in the first winter in the different world.

Dr. Chester said the medicine would take a while, but fortunately, Celes was too young to be overwhelmed by such a minor illness.

As he spoke, Chester sighed, and said, "After I came back, I visited some friends, among whom were regular doctors working in the hospital. They mentioned the bad situation this winter. Many old people may... "

He shook his head.

This was the umpteenth time Siles had heard of this matter.Even so, he still felt a heavy heart.

Death is a topic that everyone will face eventually.he thinks.

Chester added: "Winter has just begun." He paused, "Professor, sometimes I wonder, which is more distressing, the cruelty of the Neverland or the cruelty of the current climate?"

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters." Siles whispered, "It's embarrassing."

"Yes." Chester sighed.

They were all silent for a moment.

Speaking of doctors, Siles suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "By the way, do you know of any doctors in West City, are they related to underground gangs?"

Nona Norison.The granddaughter of the gatekeeper who stole the museum collection.

In the dream of the deep sea, Mr. Ghost learned that Nona gave the copper-cast crocus stolen by her grandfather to a doctor.But the copper cast flower finally appeared in the hands of the underground gang.

underground gang.doctor.The connection of these two points made Siles immediately think of Chester Fitzroy.

The reason why the apostate Hamlin went to seek treatment for Chester was because he had heard of Doctor Chester's reputation in the underground gang.Siles has always wanted to talk to Chester about this matter, but there has been no chance.

This time, when the hospital and doctors were mentioned, Siles asked.

"Doctor...the underground gang?" Chester repeated a little strangely, then he slowly shook his head, "There are no doctors in West City...the kind of doctor with a formal license, I mean.

"If you're talking about ordinary itinerant doctors, then I don't know much about it. Perhaps you mean the Darwin Hospital in the West Side?"

Darwin Hospital.Siles was slightly taken aback.

He knew this hospital, because this hospital was not only opened in the west city, there were also two in the east city.This is a reputable hospital, and it seems that there are many businessmen and nobles behind it. The price of seeing a doctor is considered moderate, and occasionally provides free medical examinations and prescriptions for some poor people.

Of course, for ordinary people in Xicheng, they would rather go to Hume Pharmacy to buy medicine than go to expensive hospitals to see a doctor.

Chester added: "When it comes to doctors, or if there is any serious illness that needs treatment, people in West City will probably think of Darwin Hospital immediately. If you have any friends who need treatment in West City, you can go there too.

"I don't think people from underground gangs dare to mess with this hospital. Of course, I am also very happy to help you."

Chester probably misunderstood what Siles meant.He thought that some friend of Siles had provoked the underground gang, so he needed a secret doctor to treat him.

Siles nodded, and then explained: "You misunderstood. The reason why I asked this is because I have a child I know. She fell ill and got involved with underground gangs, and now she is missing. I doubt that we can learn of her whereabouts from the doctor."

Only then did Chester realize that he couldn't help with this matter.But he said: "The children in West City... This reminds me of what happened on the train 'The Light of the First Snow'."

Commoner parents in West City; a sick child; a reward offered by an underground gang; without knowing the truth, he decides to go to the Land of No Embers to find opportunities to make money, and then his father dies out of control, and his mother falls into despair.

Siles was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't help saying: "There may be some connection between this. However, I haven't received a letter from that mother yet."

Chester sighed regretfully.

Afterwards, Siles said goodbye to Chester, and then went to the office to meet the two apprentices.

Jules, too, has a cold and is sniffling.Dorothea wore a relatively plain dress, and her expression was a little downcast.

When they met for the first time at the beginning of school, Siles didn't intend to chat with them about too professional topics.They chatted about the weather, the arrangements for the winter vacation and so on.

Siles' requirements for them this semester are the same as usual, and they are still book lists and papers.The two apprentices were not surprised by this either.

However, they did mention one thing that surprised Sirius at the same time.They may not be able to continue serving as Siles' teaching assistants this semester.

It is said that at the beginning of this semester, Professor Mantel, the director of the Department of Literary History of the Academy of Literature and History, suddenly appointed Jules and Dorothea to run a student club.

Jules and Dorothea were very happy about it.
