The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 17 The Painter's Painting

Siles was startled to hear the voice in his head.

It was the voice of a real person, and the owner of the voice seemed to be a teenager, because the voice was young and brisk enough.But that voice couldn't be said to have any kind of emotion, it just pronounced and articulated instinctively, which made Siles feel that the owner of this voice might be very young.

But what really disturbed Siles was the content of the sentence.

Call him the Keeper of Secrets and ask him to give a judgment?What's the meaning?Why is it happening...at this moment?

The next moment, Sirius' eyes fixed on the handsome and extraordinary knight commander in front of him.Bunyan was waiting patiently for Siles' answer, without any agitation or boredom, as if—it was frozen.

...Yes, it seems that time has stood still at this moment.

A premonition slowly emerged in Sirius' heart.He subconsciously glanced out of the window and found that on the supposedly bustling street, people's walking and talking had all stopped.The world has become quiet.

The world awaits his verdict.

Siles gasped subconsciously, and instinctively took out the dice that traveled with him from his coat pocket.It still looks like that, it looks ordinary and ordinary, anyone will only think that this is just a common dice.

Siles glanced at it, then held the dice tightly.He felt a premonition that had been lurking in his heart for the past few days come true.

The world he crossed into once appeared as the background setting of the running game he played.And he was the host of that running group.Now, the host's identity seems to have followed along with his time travel.

But the problem is...

How could such a thing happen?Is this world real?How could he, an ordinary person and a new enlightener, possess such power?

He gripped the dice tightly, feeling the corners of the dice lay across his knuckles, bringing a sore feeling.

Siles closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Verdict—yes, verdict.

On Wednesday, after he saw the name of the businessman Ranmeer at the bookseller's bazaar, he found a vague feeling in his brain.

He can make a judgment on anyone present.

That afternoon, in room 666 of the Historical Society, he took the potion and entered a brief ritual time—the feeling was heightened again.He even felt that he could designate any one of the revealers who were present at that time to make a judgment.

But that's all a feeling... that I can actively choose, or even suppress.

It was an impulse.He can indeed make a judgment on others, but that is not mandatory, whether it is for him or for the human beings who are watched by his eyes.

He can choose to let the fate of these human beings advance along the original path, or he can choose to intervene in it, using the judgment of the dice to make a possible turning point and change of fate.

But now, he can't choose.

When Knight Commander Bunyan asked him a question, the world fell into a state of stillness—this was a mandatory judgment, and neither Siles nor Bunyan had the right to choose.

...What is the content of the judgment?what's the result?

Siles narrowed his eyes and stared at the knight commander Bunyan, and then he suddenly realized.The verdict was whether or not Bunyan would discover that Siles was lying.This is why it is necessary to pass a psychological judgment.

Psychological judgment can know the emotions of the target person at the moment, and further understand their psychological activities, so as to confirm whether the other party is telling the truth.

Of course Siles hadn't seen the apostate Hamlin near Logan's Bazaar.He made it up, although he did know that Hamlin should be somewhere in the old city at this moment.

He did lie.

Whether this lie can be discovered by Bunyan is not decided by Bunyan or Siles at this moment, but depends on the result of this judgment—that is, the number of dice.

...In the game, the numerical value determines the fate; but when this kind of thing happens in reality, Siles can't help but secretly startled, feeling that the fate is determined by a small dice, which is really incredible.

From another perspective, Siles has two identities at this moment.

The first identity is that of Siles Noel himself, the ordinary introductory enlightener, the man who is about to become a professor of literary history at the University of Ramifa.He seemed to have discovered the existence of the apostate, so he mustered up the courage to come to the cathedral to explain the matter to the church.

The second identity is Siles He Jiayin Noel, the secret keeper who traveled from the earth.He is condescending, familiar with the events before and after the apostate and part of the truth, so he can examine the direction of the script and the occurrence of the story from the perspective of God.

It was Sires' first identity that triggered this judgment; but it was Sires' second identity that determined the result of this judgment.

… Siles thought dumbfoundedly, what do you mean?Is he his own vest?The keeper is myself?

He felt that the development of the matter was really unexpected-he didn't expect that when he went out, the result of this trip would be determined by the points of the dice!

However, such a development may also be logical.

After all, the Knight Commander Bunyan in front of him was one of the character cards in Siles's team-running game.Moreover, it was also the first game character that Siles met after coming to Fisher's world.

There was a glimmer of understanding in Siles' heart.

Perhaps, if he intervened in the apostate incident this time, and met those characters in the running game, then such a judgment would definitely appear.

He—in a sense, will determine the development of this event, and even the entire world.

He will be the keeper of the world.

He will know the truth behind the scenes, and he will keep all the secrets.He will - be the helm of destiny.

Siles stared blankly at the curious face in front of him, and suddenly smiled wryly.

That's really... really, a huge enough responsibility and burden.

As a foreigner, Siles didn't know how the world would change after his intervention.He doesn't even have a deep understanding of the nature of this world.

But he was pushed into such a situation.

Although it is just an ordinary and simple judgment now, and even Siles hoped that Bunyan could believe him, but... Siles has keenly glimpsed countless major events that may happen in the future from the rolling of the dice this time. event.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, then turned his wrist, and casually threw the dice into the air.

[Psychology: 70/96, big failure. 】

[Bunyan chose to believe the man in front of him without hesitation. On the one hand, it was because of the words of Archbishop Grosvenor. On the other hand, he thought it was impossible for this man with a calm expression to lie about this matter—even though he did. . 】

The moment the dice fell into Sirius' hands, the dice disappeared in an instant like water splashes melting into the sea.But Siles knew that it was only because the mysterious dice had merged with him.

Before he had time to react to this matter, he called it a fluke because of the points on the dice.

Bunyan's psychology is actually 70!With such a high attribute, it is no wonder that he is the head of the knights of the church.Moreover, it seems that the character card attribute is higher than that of Siles' impression-it seems that these characters are more real in the real world.

However, he rolled a big miss (96-100 on the dice), and believed Siles without a doubt.

Under normal circumstances, as the knight leader of the church, even if he is willing to believe what Sirius said, he should have reservations and take a more cautious attitude towards apostates.

But due to various reasons, unfortunately—or fortunately, he believed Siles' words completely.

After the dice melted into Sirius' hands, the world began to turn again.Siles was silent for a moment, and then he told about the fact that he found the apostate Hamlin near Logan's Bazaar.

Bunyan immediately nodded seriously.

Afterwards, he asked for the contact information of Siles, so that he could follow up the progress of this matter.If the clues provided by Siles really match up, then Siles can get a lot of social bounty afterwards.

Siles didn't hesitate either. He first mentioned the address of 13 Milford Street, and then he said: "But I will move to the staff dormitory of La Mifa University later. I will teach there after the semester starts. "

"Are you a professor?" Bunyan asked with some surprise.

Siles nodded, and said, "The history of the Silent Chronicles—this is my research direction."

Bunyan hesitated for a moment, and then said kindly: "Professor Noel, if you need anything for your research in the future, you can also come to the church to find me. We also keep a lot of files and classics here."

Siles smiled and thanked him for his kindness.

Afterwards, Bunyan bid farewell to Siles, and hastily changed into casual clothes, probably planning to make an unannounced visit near Logan's Bazaar first.

Siles watched him go with mixed feelings, wondering if he really wanted him to find the apostate at this very moment.Perhaps it should be found, but finding the apostate is not the end of it all.

Siles lowered his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, and then left the Central Cathedral.

After all this tossing, it didn't take long, but his energy was wasted a lot.He walked around the block, and then came to Atherton Central Square.

Here, he once again met the thin young man with a drawing board and gold-rimmed glasses.

He was still standing on the edge of the square, holding a pencil in his hand, lowering his head and focusing on sketching something.

Roughly counting, this is already the third time he has encountered this painter who is suspected to be the apocalypse.

Siles had no intention of disturbing his painting, but when he found him, he casually glanced at his drawing board.Afterwards, Siles was slightly taken aback.

Because the painting is not what he imagined, the sketched picture of the crowd in the square.
