The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

The third semester of Ramifa University is from March 3nd (Monday) after the spring break to July 22th (Friday) before the rainy break, a total of three months and one week.

Compared with the previous two semesters, Siles has one more compulsory course in the third semester, which is a compulsory course for the students of the Department of Literature in the basic education stage, named "The Development of Modern Literature".

Its content covers the early literary categories of the Silence Period and the Mist Period.For Siles, this class is also a course that he spent a lot of time organizing the teaching plan at the end of last semester.

The class time for this class is every Monday afternoon, which requires three class hours of class time.

Originally, it was not the turn of a young professor like Siles to teach this class.The original teacher of this class was Professor Bright.

However, Professor Bright now has to assume the position of director of the Department of Literary History, so he logically handed over this class to his original apprentice—that is, today, Professor Siles Noel.

Siles: "..."

He knew that Professor Bright had always wanted to train himself, but...

In short, this lesson became the task of Siles.Fortunately, Professor Bright also provided some previous lesson plans for Siles to refer to.

In addition to this new compulsory course, the elective courses for this semester still need to be taken on Tuesday morning and Friday morning, but the courses have changed.The elective course for the new semester is titled "The Birth and Fall of Gods and the Influence of Belief Evolution on Silence Literature".

This is a new course added this school year. When Siles himself was a student, he didn't take this class.Some related topics are scattered in different courses, and have never been integrated and sorted out.

But now, he needs to teach the corresponding content.

When Professor Bright gave him this class, he said quite seriously and frankly that it was an attempt to sort out the influence of those gods on literature.

Siles believes that if this class is publicized outside, it may cause an uproar.

However, with Duke Const's development of the Land of Embers and various economic development measures that he wants to carry out, the Principality of Const as a whole seems to be trying to get rid of the influence of gods on humans.

Therefore, as the first university in the capital of the country, it seems only natural that Ramifa University should try to carry out some conceptual and ideological innovations.

This was Siles' guess, and he couldn't get a definite answer from Professor Bright.

Regardless of this social influence, the influence of the gods and their believers on the literature of the Silent Period is a subject that no relevant scholar can ignore.They have all studied such problems in a more or less deep way.

It should be said that from the very beginning, literature in this world has had an indissoluble bond with gods.

It's just that in the past, people have tacitly regarded this topic as a secondary topic that is not so discussed on the table.

Many research scholars may arrange a small area in their academic papers to discuss this topic according to the scriptures, but they are unlikely to express their real opinions very ostentatiously.

...And now, Siles needs to take such a class.

He knew that what Professor Bright meant was to regard it as an academic subject, but this subject itself was prone to lead to some right and wrong.Siles had to carefully consider his lesson plan.

Of course, he has gradually become familiar with this world now, and has mastered some power.He is not intimidated by the subject, nor is he likely to choose not to talk about it.

In other words, if this elective course really caused him any trouble, then he was somewhat interested in the followers of the old gods behind these "troubles".

He's dealt with several batches of followers of the Old Gods in the past few months.He was quite curious about the believers of the old gods in Lamifa City.

Or, believers in "Shadow"?

There are only these two sections of professional courses—although these two sections are also the most important of this semester—and the public elective courses, the good news is that there is only one section this semester; the bad news is that it is another class that has not been taken.

His public elective class for this semester is scheduled for Thursday afternoons, and the title of the course is "The History of the Development of Fiction".

... Siles was quite skeptical, whether it was because the professors in the courtyard heard that he had written a novel, so they specially arranged this class for him.

What really bothered him was that he still had to carefully study Fischer's world fiction theory, so as not to accidentally involve Earth's fiction theory.

Although there are many similarities in the development of literature in the two worlds, the social environment that breeds literature is, after all, very different.He still needs to carefully compare the differences between the two sides.

Therefore, although there is only one public elective class this semester, the task is no easier than the two public elective classes in the previous two semesters.

Of course, this also has an advantage, that is, Siles doesn't have to think about what homework to assign to the students.

Since this class is about novels, at the end of the term, students are asked to write a novel and hand it in.Siles thought so.Maybe add another fiction theory exam?

After all, subjective questions are not easy to score, and it is easier to add objective questions together.

Siles thought about it for a while, and then made a decision.

As for the homework of professional courses, he thinks that midterm group homework plus final paper is a more reasonable way, but it also depends on how the course progresses and how many students there are.

After all, a semester is only three months, so he has to consider the schedule of courses.

This semester he only has these three classes, two majors and one public election.In addition, there are coursework follow-ups for two apprentices, as well as clubs and societies.

Outside of La Mifa University, the creation of novels, the promotion of the research topic of the revelator, the follow-up of the investigation of the incident, the communication and information exchange with the companions...

He has quite a lot to attend to.

"It's almost noon." Qin Duo reminded softly at the side, "Do you want to have a meal first?"

When Siles came back to his senses, he realized that he had just sorted out the things that needed to be done in the future, put the lesson plans into categories and read them for a while, and it was already noon.

He took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said in a low voice, "Yes. Let's go downstairs and have a look."

The cleaning work downstairs is also going fairly well, and they are planning to go back for dinner.So after the cleaning staff left, Siles and Cindo also left 99 Kelly Street.

They ate nearby and then took a leisurely walk back.

Qin Duo said: "We can cook by ourselves in the evening."

"That's right." Siles nodded, "So, did you gain anything from reading in the morning?"

Qin Duo shook his head.

He had been trying to find information about the Dark Sea, the oars of the canoe, but found nothing.Some older materials were also found by him, but those words were also more difficult to recognize and understand.This took up a lot of his time.

Of course, in addition to these things, he also needs to deal with the affairs of the Praia family, not all of them are devoted to reading, otherwise it can be said to be quite difficult.

Qin Duo thought for a moment, then said, "However, there is an unexpected harvest."

Siles was a little surprised to hear him say that, so he asked, "What is it?"

"Do you remember a topic we discussed?" Cindo said, "Why the Praia family has been collecting the corpses of foreigners in the past."

Siles was stunned, and he said: "However, now we already know that Lycardia once possessed a very powerful power, which also included life and death."

Cindo nodded, and he said, "That's true. That's kind of..." Cindo thought about it, and said, "Amazing."

Siles agrees with this idea.

There was a light wind this day, blowing the leaves that suddenly grew thick on the avenue, bringing a wind in the forest tops.The sun is not too hot, but it is enough to drive away the cold.Spring has arrived in Ramifa.

"However, I have found some texts that may be related to the term 'dead stranger'," Cinder said.

Siles asked with interest: "What is it?"

Cindo explained: "In the early days of human beings, people were still migrating in tribes, looking for suitable settlements. The living resources were still quite poor at that time.

"So, at that stage, some elderly people will actively or passively leave the tribe when death comes, and look for the place of their own death.

"In some ancient archives, when some tribes see homeless old people from other tribes, they will call this group of people strangers. In their view, they are dying people abandoned by the tribe."

Siles suddenly realized.

He had heard about it from Alfonso Carlyle.That's even something on a par with "Whale Fall."

"So, it was a... 'ritual' related to death in the early days." Siles whispered.

Dying people leave their hometowns and no longer become a burden to the tribe. At the same time, they wander around in search of a suitable place to die.This is the earliest act of man towards death...the living towards the dead.

After thinking for a moment, Siles suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the relevant impact of this incident.

If within a certain range, this kind of thing is quite common or popular, then this is also likely to be a reason for the shift of Lygardia's authority-if some people gradually regard death as a journey, while others' Death is still the word of death.

Siles once believed that the power of the gods is to be conceptually related to all people.In other words, the power of the gods should include everyone in the world, so they can be called gods.

However, human activities also seem to have influenced the gods in turn.In other words, civilized activities?

After thinking for a while, Siles couldn't help shaking his head, and he said, "As far as the gods themselves are concerned, we don't seem to understand them that well."

"After all, it happened a long time ago." In this matter, Qin Duo was not so pessimistic, "We can always find out the truth, I believe in you."

Siles couldn't help smiling.

Before long, they were back at 99 Kelly Street.The first floor has been cleaned, and the next is the second and third floors.Siles took his lesson plans downstairs temporarily, sorting out and reviewing them one by one.

Qin Duo was too lazy to continue reading those ancient and obscure materials.He locked the files in the cubicle, and went downstairs with some business matters.

It wasn't until he locked those files into the small room that Siles suddenly realized that those files might be quite dangerous for ordinary people.It is because his and Qindo's will is high enough that they can read safely.

Siles himself was used to reading these books, so he ignored this hidden danger.If Qindo hadn't put those files into the small room by himself, then Siles probably wouldn't have thought of this at all.

He couldn't help introspecting secretly, reminding himself that the reason why so many dangers in this world lead to tragedies is precisely because for different people, the degree of danger is completely different.

Although that was nothing to him, it might be a catastrophe to others.He needs to pay attention to this problem.

The whole afternoon passed quickly.

When the orange sunset in the evening came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sirius suddenly came back to his senses.He stared blankly for a while, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to have recited the lesson plans he needed to memorize.

therefore……

He opened his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

It's March 3st.Calculated according to the solar terms of the earth, this is the day of the vernal equinox.

He thought, Qin Duo seemed to be able to get his wish.

For some reason, Siles seemed to feel a little nervous all of a sudden.He lowered his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked himself: Earthlings, what about your calmness and self-control when you are confused by the complicated information on the Internet?

There was a knock at the door.It's Qindo.

In the afternoon, they stayed on the first floor for a while, and asked the cleaning staff to go to the study on the third floor to clean.After they finished cleaning, Siles went back to the study on the third floor and continued to review the lesson plans; while Qindo went to the first floor to sort out daily necessities.

Qin Duo said: "It's almost six o'clock. Are you hungry? It's time for dinner."

"...Okay." Sirius said, "Cleaned up?"

"Of course." Qin Duo said, "I've checked everything."

Siles looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said tactfully, "I've finished my business today, Qindo."

"Then your efficiency today..." Qin Duo said without thinking, and then suddenly stopped.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand what Sirius meant.His emerald green eyes stared intently at Sirius, swallowing nervously at the same time.

His voice became hoarse almost subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

Siles looked at him for a while, but felt less nervous."Today is March 3. The weather is fine. Maybe we can do that tonight," he said.

"...Oh, of course, of course." Qin Duo whispered, "I'm just... I'm just a little... nervous."

Siles stared at him silently.

Qin Duo said dryly: "Can you be satisfied with me? I mean... How can I, lie down? Lay down? What, how can I let you go smoothly... What am I talking about!"

He almost annoyed himself by saying it.

Siles laughed.He felt that Qin Duo's depressed expression was quite funny.He knew what Gyndo was thinking, and that thought brought a burning, yet ironic warmth.

"It's also my first time." Siles said almost gently, "So, Qindo, we can try and practice slowly. The first time is always unfamiliar."

Gyndo looked uncomfortable.He unconsciously played with his braids, he licked his lips and said, "Okay, okay..." He seemed to be deliberating carefully, not knowing what to say at this moment, "I will... I I mean, I'm going to study hard."

And Siles looked at him, his eyes darkened slightly.

He has to say that he really likes Qin Duo's... open-minded and studious character.

After a while, Siles said, "So, shall we go to eat first?"

"Okay." Qin Duo said, and then he said again—like cautiously, but also boldly, "I hope you will like my cooking, and me."

Siles was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He said, "I've already tasted your cooking, but I haven't tasted it yet..."

He didn't go on, because Gindo seemed to have froze.

So Siles stopped here, and said very considerately, "So, Cindo, you'll have to let me try first, won't you?"

Qin Duo muttered something in a low voice, and then he said seriously: "Yes. I'm looking forward to it very much." He stared intently at Siles, and after a while, he said softly, "I've been looking forward to it for a long, long time. "

Siles walked over and hugged him, and they went downstairs to eat together.

After dinner, they washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen together.Cendo looked a little at a loss, always glanced at Sirius from time to time, and then quickly looked back.He seemed to be slowly understanding Sirius' connivance to him, so from time to time he made some sticky physical contact.

Maybe it's just a touch of fingers, or a touch on the shoulder, or a light kiss on him.The closer the night came, the bolder his behavior became.

Siles was much calmer.If you ask him, Qin Duo's actions are at most bumping, and he seems to be waiting for Siles' permission to do more things.

And for Qindo...

His beloved god is really calm and cold.Qin Duo couldn't help thinking.

They spend a little time killing time.Go out for a walk, read the newspaper, and exchange ideas about what to do afterward.They discussed all the daily life as if nothing had happened, but every inadvertent meeting of eyes would bring some subtle emotions like electric shock.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Duo finally couldn't bear it anymore.He said, "Shall I take a shower first?"

"Okay." Siles said, "Don't worry, I don't have class tomorrow morning."

...So, they have plenty of time to kill on this.

Qin Duo looked at him uncontrollably, and after a while, he rushed over to kiss Sirius, and said depressedly: "Don't..."

"Don't do it?"

"...Hinting me vaguely." Qin Duo said in a low voice.

Siles smiled slightly: "It's not a hint, Qindo."

"It's just your natural reserve." Qin Duo understood him quite well, "but for me, this will make me even more unbearable."

They exchanged a hot, breathless kiss.

"...I'll wait for you in the room." Qin Duo whispered, as if he didn't dare to mention more information, "I will...I will be ready."

Siles looked at him with some surprise.But Qin Duo's emerald green eyes did not dare to look at Sirius anyway.

So Siles laughed: "I'm looking forward to it, Qindo. Let's see if you can prepare better."

"...Of course I can." Qin Duo muttered.

He went upstairs in three steps at a time.

Siles stood there for a while.He habitually thought about what he was going to do tonight.It should be said that he always likes to arrange everything properly, so now he is also thinking about how to complete this matter smoothly.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he had to admit that after all, this matter required some emotions beyond reason, or in other words, out of control, as a source of stimulation.He just wished he could be more comfortable.

...Of course, this is the first time after all.he thinks.From Earth to Fisher World.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little complicated.He means...from Earth to Fisher World.He traveled a long distance before finally finding his partner in another world.

That's certainly not a bad thing.The relationship between people is always quite wonderful.

It's just hard for him to imagine... what his life would be like if Qindo had never appeared.It was a rather inexplicable state, from this point of view—if his life had gone the other way.

Fortunately, they finally met.

Siles thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing.He shook his head and told himself that there was no need to think about these things tonight.

He planned to go upstairs.

But before going upstairs, he thought for a while, and first went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water, and then went upstairs with the glass.

This night may be something they will never forget, or it may become one of the similar marks in their future lives.Reality meets fantasy - dreams come true.

The next morning, Siles rarely allowed himself to sleep until eight o'clock in the morning.When he woke up, Jindo was still snuggled up beside him, soundly asleep.Sirius looked at him, then leaned over and kissed his lips lightly.

Siles saw Qindo's eyelashes tremble, but Qindo still didn't wake up.Siles couldn't help laughing, didn't wake up Qin Duo, got up to wash up by himself, and took the empty glass in the bedroom downstairs by the way.

He made a simple breakfast in the kitchen before going upstairs to wake Gindo up.

When Siles went upstairs again, Cindo sat up from the bed.He still looked a little dazed, staring straight ahead blankly.His hand touched his lips almost blankly.

"Are you awake?" Siles walked over and sat beside Qinduo.

Qin Duo suddenly came back to his senses, responded vaguely, and then leaned over and hugged Sires' waist.He said, "Still sleepy. But..." He thought for a moment, then said, "Did you kiss me when you just got up?"

"Yes," said Siles. "Were you half asleep then?"

"Yes... I feel very happy." Qin Duo murmured, "In this early morning...you kissed me."

Siles couldn't help laughing.

It wasn't that long ago that they'd just been doing something a little more intimate.The warm aftermath of that matter may still linger on them at this moment, and every moment of touching each other brings a little slow pleasure.

But when Gyndo wakes up, he's happy with the good morning kiss in the early hours of the morning.It's a fairly simple satisfaction.

"It's time to get up," said Siles. "I suppose you're not hurt?"

Qin Duo reacted for a while, and then said: "Of course not. You were very gentle at first." He hesitated, "Anyway, I like you no matter what."

Siles glanced at him with a half-smile, and he said noncommittally: "There will be a bright future." He lifted the quilt, looked at his lover, and said, "It seems to be all right."

Qin Duo coughed, and then said frankly: "That's right. I think my body is quite healthy, so you can be more..."

His words were interrupted by a hungry gurgling stomach.

Qin Duo scratched his hair depressingly.

Siles laughed. He combed Cendo's hair with his hands, and said, "Where's your hair tie?"

"... Last night, I don't know where it was thrown." Qin Duo searched in the quilt, but couldn't find it, and frowned for a while, "I'll look for it later? That's you Give it to me."

"It's okay if you can't find it, I'll make another one later." Siles comforted him.

Qin Duo murmured in a low voice: "After you find it, you have to wash it well."

"……what?"

"It's nothing." Qin Duo said, he hugged Siles, and said quite docilely, "When I just woke up, I found that you were not by my side, so I felt that everything that happened in the past period was like a dream.

"...It's like the kiss I felt when I was half asleep and half awake. It wasn't until you really appeared that I felt that my life really fell down, stepped on a flat and solid ground, just like my life.

"Usually I seem to fall into the abyss, and I will be smashed to pieces; but you caught me, not only me, but also my life."

he murmured.

Siles listened quietly, he knew that Qindo's emotions might be complicated at the moment.It was an afterthought feeling, and there was not necessarily any emotion when it happened, but after that, all the thoughts of the past flooded up.

Gindo closed her eyes, then said in a low voice, "I am very grateful to fate. That is, thank you."

Siles gently touched Qin Duo's cheek.

Ginto took a deep breath, then laughed, and said, "Sometimes I feel like I'm the one favored by fate."

"You are." Sirius admitted.

Qin Duo turned his head and kissed Celes' palm reverently.

Then he got up, washed, and had breakfast—or maybe brunch.The day was still sunny and the weather was clear, making it hard to imagine that this was actually the city of Ramifa.

After breakfast, Qin Duo went to the bedroom to find his hair rope.In the end, he found it in the gap between the bedside table and the head of the bed, and he didn't know how the hair rope got there, or in other words, it was thrown there casually by someone.

He washed the hair tie carefully and left it outside to dry before tying his own hair.

Siles watched Qindo's actions, and thought inexplicably that Qindo didn't seem to be affected by what happened last night at all.

...It seems that Qin Duo's physical attributes are also quite high?Siles was lost in thought.

Of course, from another perspective, Siles also enjoys the intimate time with his lover.But on the whole, it is difficult for him to lose control, which is due to his natural personality.

In contrast, Qin Duo seemed...much more exaggerated.That's why Siles was a little worried about whether Qin Duo could bear it.

But it seems that he doesn't need to worry about it at all...?

Qin Duo seems to be very satisfied with the gentle time in the morning, but in the afternoon they have to go out and do their own business.

It's Monday.Siles is going to teach at the university, and Cindo is going to deal with some matters of the Praia family.

When changing clothes, Qin Duo finally showed a depressed expression.He moved his body a little uncomfortably.

Siles reminded him: "After finishing the business, come back early and rest?"

After all, this is their first time.Siles felt nothing, but Cendo was different.

Qin Duo nodded and responded in a low voice, "I will."

Siles hugged him, and they went out together.

Siles' afternoon classes are from 03:30 to [-]:[-], but he arrived at Ramifa University half an hour earlier and went to the office.He didn't come for a month, and there was a layer of dust in the office, so he cleaned it up a little.

He happened to meet Professor Aitley, the administrative teacher.

When Siles arrived in Lamifa City, he wrote a letter to the professor specifically, telling him that he had returned to Lamifa City and that he did not need to arrange other professors to substitute for him.

And now, Professor Aitley also greeted Siles, and said: "Professor Noel! I didn't expect you to be the first professor to return to Ramifa City, and the rest have not returned yet."

"Maybe it will take a few days for them to come back?" Siles guessed, "I got off the bus halfway in Kansas, and returned to Conster from Kansas, the journey is shorter."

Professor Aitley nodded, and couldn't help sighing: "That's true. After all, it's a detour through the Land of Embers. It's a pity that there is always a fog shrouded between Kansas and Const, making it impossible to go directly."

Siles sighed too.

indeed so.From Ramifah to Cronin, they had to make a detour because the mist covered some of the lands.Furthermore, it is absolutely impossible to allow trains to pass under such conditions.

Siles bid farewell to Professor Aitley before returning to his office.While cleaning the office, he was thinking about a question: When will the fog completely dissipate?

Why did the fog dissipate?

According to the three-element theory of Siles, the mist corresponds to the will of the gods.When the gods fell, their will also disintegrated into mist, shrouding the world forever.

But, as time went by, the fog of Fischer's world was gradually dissipating.Some are faster, some are slower, but on the whole, people in Fisher's world are indeed getting rid of the influence of the fog.

This incident made Sirius feel a kind of belated astonishment.The fog dissipated, which meant that the last power of the old gods also dissipated in the world.But what, after all, is causing the fog to lift?

He thought for a while, but still had no idea, so he couldn't help shaking his head, not wasting time on this matter - after all, he was going to class soon.

On Monday and Tuesday, Siles basically spent on university-related affairs.

Communication and exchange with new students, thinking about some details of teaching plans, and conceiving related themes of club activities are all issues he is thinking about.At the same time, he is also thinking about academic papers for this natural year.

He is still a new professor, but this year, the academy's academic requirements for him have changed.He needs to publish at least one paper of "excellent" level this year.After that, it should be maintained at this standard.

Siles didn't want to drag this matter to the end like last year, so he planned to determine the topic before the rainy holiday, and began to collect information and related documents.

However, what to write specifically is also a rather disturbing question.

Last year, he made a mistake and discovered a very amazing fact - a group of unknown followers of the old gods, and at the same time obtained relevant information and clues from many people.

But this year he may not be so lucky.He still has to plan ahead and think about what he can write.

In the professional elective class on Tuesday, Siles saw many familiar faces of students.That made him feel a little nostalgic, after this long spring break.In addition, he also felt that his life was back on track again.

After class, Angela Clayton stayed for a while and asked Siles about his experience in the past month.Siles spoke to her in general, much to the amazement of the curious young lady.

She said: "I look forward to hearing more about Middleton from you at Saturday's gathering. We're all very interested in that faraway land."

Siles laughed and naturally agreed.

Angela also talked to Siles about the changes in Ramifa City in the past month-it was nothing more than where some projects started.But Angela also mentioned some not so good things.

"You may not know, Professor, that Jonathan Bryant is dead." Angela said, "and he was such a powerful person. Therefore, the city is quite turbulent now, and everyone wants to get out of this matter." Take a share."

Siles frowned.

Angela added: "Whether it's the high-level officials of the principality or the historical society. Of course, on the whole, this situation has already had some clues since the old guy Jonathan's accident. But now, he is dead. So this matter is completely over. It's heating up."

Siles couldn't help sighing.He felt that the world was always...in constant turmoil.

And even in the cities and regions that he has never seen or heard of, people still have their own lives and are buried in their own paths.The world has always been like this.

He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.Chaos always goes hand in hand with change.

Soon, Angela bid farewell to Siles, but before leaving, she blinked her eyes and said quite lively: "Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday. See you then."

"See you then." Sirius also smiled.

In Middleton, he encountered countless difficult and complicated topics; but when he returned to Ramifa City, he could still chat with his friends about the development of the city, daily life, and share his experiences during the journey—simple meaning news on the Internet.

This feeling pleases him.

On Wednesday morning, Siles went to the long-lost Room 177 of the Historical Society to meet with Grenfell.

"Good morning, teacher." Siles greeted Grenfell.

"Good morning, Sirius." Grenfell sat lazily by the window, basking in the sun, "The weather is so nice, I want to go to the suburbs for spring. It's a pity that you start school, oh, my poor student. "

Siles: "..."

He silently sat opposite Grenfell.

Grenfell laughed, and he said, "Just kidding. I know Ramifah University has started, so I guess you should be back from Middleton. How is it, Middleton?"

Siles thought for a while, and said, "It is indeed a rather wonderful country."

He realizes that he's always describing Middleton as "fantastic," but that's a fairly normal thing to do.The mystery of Middleton lies not only in the vast Sea of ​​Foley, but also in the gloomy, cold, and deep atmosphere that this ocean brings to the country.

He pulled out some souvenirs from his carry-on bag.

Some of Middleton's seafood, shell decorations, conch ornaments, and more.Because of the smell, Siles didn't buy the typical smoked fish, pickled fish, etc., but the ones he bought so far are quite amazing.

Grenfell looked at those souvenirs with great interest.He said: "I feel that the power system of Middleton's revelator may be quite different from ours."

Siles froze for a moment.It occurred to him that in Middleton he did not seem to have encountered any revelators at all.

Even captains or sailors who, like Garrett Gielgud, clearly wield some kind of power, don't seem to have explicitly demonstrated their power.

should
