The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

A drink that Qin Duo ordered was delivered quickly.

But he was always a little absent-minded.He stared at the doll, and the doll stared at 1 Erskine Street beyond the glass.

…In fact, now Siles is trying to capture that sliver of inspiration.

The secret that the waiter casually shared just now, as well as the news shared by Angela, made him a little surprised.However, this is only a momentary accident.

No. 1 Erskine Street is a private club, and perhaps members of the royal family of the Duchy of Const did come here to attend a certain party.However, the identity of this member is unknown and may not necessarily be related to Ebenezer Const.

As for the Grand Duke's participation in the auction of the Graves family's assets, now that his former brother has returned to Lamifa City, the Grand Duke will naturally do something to ensure his authority.

The auction was held in secret, but nobles and merchants might gather, and it is very possible that the Grand Duke would come here; it was just a little sudden, which made people wonder whether he was affected by something.

But in the final analysis, these two things are established facts, and they can't find any breakthrough for the time being.

...But the Erskine No. 1 in front of him really reminded Siles of something.

This building is located at the end of the road. There are streets in the front and back, and a wide street on the side. There is a park not far away. It should be said that the view here is quite open and clear.

No.The point is not this.Siles thought.

Through the vision of the puppet, Siles could see this low-key building standing silently.There doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy about it, and one might even think it's just an abandoned building.

"...Professor Noel?"

A voice brought Sirius back to his senses.His attention turned to the conference hall of Ramifa University.A young teaching assistant was standing next to him and asked hesitantly, "Professor Noel?"

He was about to pass a document to Siles that he might need for this meeting.But Siles didn't respond.

"Sorry, I got distracted," Siles said apologetically, took the document, and said, "Thank you."

The young man quickly waved his hand, and he continued to distribute documents to others.In the sweltering conference hall, only the open windows can bring a ray of hot wind outside the window.Although the wind is still warm, at least it can bring a little lightness.

Many professors have already come to the conference hall.In ten minutes, the meeting will start.

The young man walked around the conference hall and placed the document on everyone's desk.Siles stared at him thoughtfully for a moment, then lowered his eyes to the document.

The content is about an academic activity of the Academy of Literature and History in early October.

This kind of academic activities are often carried out in the university, and Lamifa University is the most well-known university in the Principality of Const. Each department and major will basically experience several activities in one academic year.

Now that Siles is the director of the Department of Literary History, he also has to prepare for his own department.However, this does not affect many academic exchanges at the school level.

They went to Middleton during the spring break for an academic visit; this time, it was an academic group from Kansas who wanted to visit and visit Ramifa University.

The overall process is similar to that of the overseas visit that Siles experienced, but this academic team seems to be more inclined to academic topics in history, so most of the reception requirements are also handed over to the history professors.

Siles flipped through the contents mentioned in the document, and then he was relieved to realize that this matter had nothing to do with him.

But... early October.After all, this date made him feel a little bit concerned.

Antinam's birthday is October 10.Last year's Grayson incident broke out on the eve of God's birthday, and nothing unexpected happened on God's birthday; but this year's God's birthday may not be passed so smoothly, and Siles is already mentally prepared for this.

He pondered for a moment, then sighed in his heart.

He thought absently, no matter what, they have to get rid of these things that the shadow believers have created first... Frames, canvases, who knows what new place they will be preparing to paint a new painting?

...wait, frame?

框？

Siles was taken aback suddenly.

At Ramifah University, the meeting is about to start, and several professors on the stage have already taken their seats.Siles handed over the doll's body to the ghost to control, and told the ghost to record the key points of the meeting, and then turned his attention back to the other doll without hesitation.

In the coffee shop at No. 2 Erskine Street, on a small table by the window on the second floor, a sitting puppet suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and then stuck its small head on the glass. superior.

Its small round black eyes fixedly stared at No. 1 Erskine Street opposite.

...three streets.a small alley.The building is surrounded by four roads.a box.

"What's wrong?" Qin Duo whispered.

"...a picture frame." Siles' voice was also very deep, "Do these four roads look like a picture frame?"

Qin Duo couldn't help being startled.Regardless of whether the few guests around him cast strange gazes, he looked at the ordinary-looking building outside the window in astonishment.

"Then this building is...the canvas?" Gindo murmured, "...for Saturday?"

The puppet didn't speak any more, but they all acquiesced to this possibility.

1 Erskine Street was not chosen at random.

The city park not far away cuts off the end of Erskine Street, allowing a road to cross and lean against No. 1 Erskine Street.And there is a road for people to walk and horse-drawn carriages at the front and rear of the building.

This kind of situation surrounded on three sides is very rare, but between No. 1 and No. 2 Erskine Street, there is still a small alley, about two meters wide, which seems to be just an accident during the planning and construction.

…However, this means that 1 Erskine Street is independent of all surrounding buildings and surrounded by four roads.When the surroundings are empty, the building also looks deserted... like a blank painting.

Not long ago, Siles realized a problem.

Do shadow believers really only need these few paintings?Real painting?After completing these few paintings, can the Shadow Believer get his wish?

He didn't think that things would be so simple, and he didn't think that the plot of the shadow believer would be so easy to guess.After the actual painting, there will be the conceptual painting.

This land is the canvas, the choice of the shadow believers is the frame, and the blood of the people is the paint.

...that's what they're probably going to do.

Paintings No. [-] and No. [-]—the portrait of the sous-chef and the last painting of the painter Leon, of course contain the pollution of the gods, and of course they are worth looking for and obtaining by shadow believers.

And a painting brought about by the murder in the Theater District—maybe it can be called painting No. [-]—is indeed a good attempt for the shadow believers, and it serves multiple purposes.

As for the attempted murder, that's arguably the failed painting number four.After this failure, the shadow believers may adjust their action plan.

...Then the next thing is, painting No. [-].

Siles once guessed whether the No. [-] painting will continue to draw paintings related to Menawaka, or choose another old god?

Paintings No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-], the old gods directly related to these three paintings are Temiafa, Huddoka, Ruthmi, Akamala, and Lygardia.These are the five old gods.

If Erkoo, a god with a similar concept, is counted, there are six gods.

It is possible that there are seven remaining gods.

… What will happen at 1 Erskine Street on Saturday night?

"We have to be prepared for a bloodbath." Siles said in a deep voice, "After the previous failure, they will not let it go, but will intensify it."

Ginto finished his glass of drink, then gave a playful smile: "Then let them come. Death will hang over their heads instead."

"If..." Siles wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qin Duo whispered.

Their whispering has attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, so Qin Duo nonchalantly started to pack the things on the table, intending to leave.

Siles did not answer Qin Duo's question immediately.He was planning to mention his thoughts, but the moment he thought of this possibility, he felt as if something touched his soul.

There was a dreamy and floating feeling that enveloped his soul at this moment.He sensed a subtle atmosphere, a strange premonition... The puppet's body seemed to strengthen this premonition.He felt that something was about to happen.

Through the eyes of the puppet, he seems to rise and seem to descend.He seemed to see the troupe in rehearsal, the whole city of Ramifa, and even the wider world of Fischer.

...the reflection of that planet.

As if blessed to his heart, he instantly understood that this scene was coming with the help of the reflection of the planet.That hallucinatory image only existed for a moment, and soon disappeared. He was still only facing the scorching summer of Lamifa City.

But he seems to have figured it out.

"We should go to the theater district." Siles' voice sounded in Qindo's ear, "Even if it's just a rehearsal, it needs a suitable audience."

Qin Duo was a little surprised. He didn't understand how Siles would know that there was a rehearsal at the Lancelot Theater—through the eight-petal rose paper?But he didn't ask any more questions, and they arrived in the theater district not long after.

Under the scorching sun, the theater district still looked deserted.It should be said that some people may not be willing to go out to watch a theater in this weather, but these two kinds of "unwillingness" are completely different.

A rather paradoxical question is that the "rules of the theater district" were established because the former Kermit family did not want accidents in the theater district to affect people's interest in watching dramas.

However, after the current murder case, even though the rules in the theater district are still in effect, the newspapers are still continuously reporting relevant information, letting almost all residents of the city know about the incident, and also Knowing the vague attitude of the theater district.

People talked about it with great interest, discussing this topic after dinner.

Instead, people were intrigued, as Siles once thought, by "the rules of the theater district."Sooner or later, the papers will probably show, "The theater district murderer was a revelation" or something like that.

On the whole, the rules of the theater district have backfired here.

...But, then again, why is this matter still being reported in the newspapers?

The murder happened in the early hours of last Thursday, and now a week has passed, and the investigation of the case has made no progress, but the newspapers in the city have not diverted their attention.

This may seem a little strange.Of course, the Kermit family may have been used by shadow believers... But why did the newspapers cooperate so much?

So, when Cindo arrived at the Lancelot Theater with the puppet, he heard Sirius' voice ringing in his ears: "Maybe we should investigate the recent movements of the newspapers."

Qin Duo: "..."

He wondered blankly, a newspaper office?What happened to the newspaper?Why did his beloved god think of the newspaper office again?

Siles explained his thoughts and said, "It's just a try."

Qin Duo was taken aback, and he said, "So, those numerous reports in the newspapers may also be written by those shadow believers?" He thought for a while, and then said, "However, you are going to contact the publisher, Mr. Benton ?"

"Perhaps so," Sirius replied.

Then he belatedly realized, Contact Benton?

Benton really won't subtly deflect the topic into a press release?

Siles couldn't help being silent... He thought, maybe it's better to write a letter to Benton.

In fact, from Celes' own point of view, the two novels he wrote in this world are far from amazing.

However, the excellent works themselves, coupled with his aesthetic vision slightly beyond this era, coupled with some luck, these two works made him a well-known novelist, at least in the city of Ramifa.

...However, from another perspective, for Siles, these two novels cannot be summed up simply because of writing problems.That involved the power of Akamala.

The first novel, The Revenge of the Rose, meant reality meeting fantasy, and the second novel, The Dreaming Adventures of Miss Garland, meant fantasy merging into reality.And now, the second novel will also be adapted into a play, staged on a real stage.

"...Mr. Lantern Fish, now that I have registered at the lighthouse, can I go to that beautiful city?"

Garland's clear voice, with her usual innocence, asked the question.

"Of course." A muffled voice said, "Have you heard the rules of the city in the sea from the lighthouse?

"I heard that. But why do cities under the sea still have rules? We are already under the sea!"

"Because this is the most beautiful and brightest city in the sea! Light attracts darkness."

Garland nodded half-understanding, and then went on to read the next line.

... She really played the role so well.Even though she is still so young, she seems to be a born actress.

Carlos Langmere and Ms. Heidi stand to one side of the stage.Arkwright the Clown, with his hips akimbo and his head tilted, stared blankly at the actors sitting in a circle on the stage.

Heidi suddenly turned her head and asked him, "Arkwright, have you finished reciting your lines?"

Arkwright thought for a moment, then grinned, and said, "No!"

Heidi rolled her eyes at him, and said slowly: "It's not your turn today, but you only have one day, Arkwright!"

Arkwright lowered his head, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, and began to read in a low voice.

Heidi couldn't help but sighed.She couldn't understand why Carlos Langmire wanted Arkwright to play the most villainous role.

True, Arkwright could play the madman well, but madness is not the same as evil.Heidi doesn't think Arkwright has the essence of evil, so he can only "play" evil.

But can Arkwright really act?This is a rather difficult question to answer.

Heidi turned her head and continued to stare at the actors who were speaking, but at this moment, she noticed someone walking in from the corner of her eye.She looked sideways and said unexpectedly, "Mr. Qin Duo!"

Her voice doesn't bother the attentive cast.She spoke to Carlos.Carlos was obsessed with thinking about the lines, so he waved his hand without looking back and asked Heidi to help entertain the guests.

Heidi walked up to Qindo. She greeted Qindo first, and then asked strangely, "Didn't the professor come?"

Qin Duo simply replied: "He has a meeting at the university."

Heidi understood, and couldn't help sighing, "The professor is really too busy."

Qin Duo nodded seriously, quite agreeing with this statement.Instead, he asked, "Are you guys rehearsing?"

"The actors are rehearsing their lines ... you can say that they are rehearsing." Heidi said, "Every scene will be tried to see if there are any sets that need to be added, props, costumes that need to be modified, etc.

"We originally planned to start yesterday morning, but before we even started to match the lines, we had to work on costumes, props, etc. for more than a day. After all, every actor had to try on the clothes...

"By the way, have you heard what the owner of the theater opposite said?"

"The professor told me." Qin Duo replied, "Have you ever run into that boss again?"

Heidi shook her head. "The door to that theater is locked," she said.

Qin Duo couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Guilty?He couldn't help but have this idea.

They chatted for a while at the door of the performance hall, and then came to the front of the stage.

Heidi was a little surprised by Qindo's reason for coming, so Qindo explained: "I'm here to be an audience." He thought for a while, and felt that although this statement was indeed his original intention, it seemed strange after all, so he added, " Just make sure you're safe."

Heidi was stunned, and she couldn't help saying: "I really thank you very much. Professor Noel and you, you helped me and Arkwright."

"You also helped us," said Cindo.

Heidi just smiled and didn't continue talking.She let Qin Duo take care of herself, and then she went to the stage and continued to work.

The performance hall was shady and dark, but still a bit stuffy.

Qin Duo first took out the doll from the bag—doll No. [-], to be exact.He couldn't carry the puppet on his shoulders on the way here, so he kept it in his bag—and then produced the metal blade and the potion bottle.The cool air made him much more comfortable.

The puppet sat on his shoulders, and they looked at the stage together.

Several actors who were not on the wheel for the time being were also sitting in the surrounding auditorium.But they are not watching the play, but just continue to familiarize themselves with their lines and stage actions.

In the quiet theater, only the actors' voices sounded continuously, together with the dull air outside, it seemed to rule the world.

Qin Duo propped his chin in boredom, stared at the stage, in a daze.He had a feeling of taking a break from his busy schedule, but it really made him feel very comfortable.

Stage, theatre, dates, hot summer and breezy potion bottles.Everything seemed to appear in a dream scene.

...They seem to be a little too nervous all the time.Qin Duo suddenly thought.

The weight of the little puppet on his shoulders reassured him.He knew the spirit of his beloved god was here, with him... Does the soul have weight?

There seems to be a non-essential potion add-on called Seven Grams of Soul.

Now, the weight of the seven grams of soul is pressing him here.He felt a heavy, uncanny...almost luscious emotion.It was a feeling of happiness, like a beautiful dream enveloped him, and he couldn't help laughing even in the dream.

The performance on the stage is still going on.

The young girl beheld the marvelous, shining city under the sea.Here she will go on her own adventure, defeat powerful and evil enemies, have her own companions and friends, and then embark on the long journey home.

...somewhat like his beloved god, no?Cendo sometimes thinks this way, but he doesn't want to say it in front of Sirius.He always felt that it was a long distance from Celes, He Jiayin's earth, to this Fisher's world.

While it's true that they might return to Earth—"to" for Cinder—there's something strange and unsettling about that, too.

Qin Duo occasionally wonders, is this the feeling that He Jiayin felt after coming to this world and becoming Siles?

... He did think so occasionally, and this uneasiness gave rise to a deeper uneasiness.But... the weight of the seven grams of soul firmly suppressed this anxiety.

Qin Duo suddenly felt very happy.He tilted his head, still absently listening to Garland's conversation with the others, but couldn't help but focus on the slight weight on his shoulders.

The puppet seems to be looking at the stage very intently, although the expression on the puppet has always been that way.Small black round eyes, a small head, a short neck, a short and fat body, and short and fat hands and feet.

If you stare at those eyes for a long time, it will give people a chilling feeling.As if this is a creation of the gods, it would be an offense to stare at it for a long time.

...But Qindo thinks the doll is actually quite cute.Rather, he loves the house and the crow.After all, Siles often uses the body of a doll.

Qin Duo's thoughts drifted endlessly.He was surprised because he doesn't usually do this.He seldom distracted, and most of the time, he would focus on Siles.

And those rare moments like this...

He froze for a moment, feeling that his thoughts were still trapped in the dense..."honey".Yes, it was like honey, thick and sweet, and it was sticking to his brains now.

"...You..." He subconsciously wanted to ask Siles.

"Shh. Don't worry." Sirius' voice rang softly in Cendor's ear, "Don't be afraid."

Gyndo blinked, his emerald green eyes slowly revealing a hint of doubt and sleepiness.He subconsciously yawned and nodded his head a little. He hardly noticed that the lines on the stage seemed to freeze suddenly.

Then, suddenly, he woke up again.Everything around seemed to be back to normal.

……what happened?

Qin Duo was at a loss for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to look at the puppet on his shoulder.However, the puppet had already jumped to the top of the front row of seats, standing there, staring almost condescendingly at the performance hall.

His beloved god had obviously discovered something, but the nature of the Keeper of Secrets made him never say it immediately.Qin Duo couldn't help complaining softly and intimately in his heart.

Soon, the puppet was back on Qindo's shoulders.

"...Tonight we will go to the dreamland." Siles said slowly, as if he was not sure what happened, "I will tell you when the time comes. We can't talk about this in reality."

Oh, I see.Qin Duo slowly understood.It is indeed dangerous to mention some topics in reality, after all, "shadows" are also spying on this world.

...he seemed to hear his beloved god sigh.

"Now, wake up, Gyndo," Sirius said.

...Qin Duo seemed to have opened his eyes suddenly, and it seemed like he had just woken up from a dream.It's as if nothing has changed, but it's as if everything has changed.He almost subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the weight of the seven grams of soul suppressed him again.

Wait, what seven grams of soul?

At this moment, Qin Duo's brain seemed to have become a mess.He stared at the rehearsal that was still going on on the stage, and then at the actors around him whispering their lines.

He was stunned for a moment, then thought, just... what happened?He seemed to have a dream?

He seemed to dream that the spirit of his beloved god was upon his shoulders.He dreamed of summer, of empty theaters and bright skies.He dreamed of the earth, of the weight of seven grams of the soul.he dreamed...

……Dream?

"Did I just fall asleep?" Qin Duo said in a daze.

Siles gave a low laugh, and he simply said: "Perhaps you can understand it that way."

Qin Duo looked at the little doll suspiciously.After a while, he suddenly said: "You have further grasped..."

He didn't say what happened next.But Siles knew that Qin Duo had already reacted.

"You can say that." Siles said simply.

Qin Duo didn't ask any more questions.He knew they would have to be in the dream to discuss this topic safely.He turned his attention to his... "dream" just now.

... The strangest thing about this dream is that it is real.Qin Duo was completely unaware that he had a dream, and he even suspected that if Sirius hadn't woke him up, he might not be able to sleep in the dream.

Indeed, when people dream, they always feel that everything in the dream is real.People don't realize that there is a more real world that belongs to them outside of the dream world.

It wasn't until they woke up that they could suddenly distinguish the two.This may be the magic of the brain, human beings deceive themselves.

This feeling, like...

...It's like the deep sea dream has come to reality.

But the deep-sea dream is not so fake, after all, that dream is always a real dream; and just now?The dream just now was like real reality, as if a dream bubble enveloped Fisher's world.

...it's just amazing.Qin Duo couldn't help sighing.

Soon, the actors on the stage finished checking their lines, and then changed to another group of actors.It's also rather surprising that a young Garland is on stage all the time, engaged and even in high spirits.

Cendo realized that perhaps it was this rehearsal that allowed Sirius to further grasp the power of Akamala.He couldn't help feeling a little interested, and really watched the rehearsal here seriously for a while.

When the time approached three o'clock, he realized that they had to go to the next location, otherwise the time this afternoon, which was temporarily spared by the meeting, would not be enough.

He bid farewell to Heidi.Ms. Heidi seemed so absorbed in her work that she was barely aware of Gyndo's departure.Arkwright, on the other hand, subconsciously looked over when Qin Duo left, and showed a slightly silly smile.

Before leaving the Lancelot Theatre, Qin Duo thought about it, then picked a word from the Bloodline manuscript, and threw it at the gate of the theater.

"What does that mean?" Sirius asked a little curiously.

"If anyone with malicious intentions approaches here, I will be alerted," Cindo explained, "an early warning mechanism from ancient nomadic tribes."

"It's amazing." Sirius couldn't help saying.

Cinder smiled smugly, and said instead, "So, shall we go to the Fillmore Family Museum now?"

"Yes, let's go," said Siles.

But before leaving, they first took a look at the theater opposite.As Heidi said, the door is locked here, and it looks deserted and low-key.From the outside you can't tell what's going on inside.

Cendo walked around the theater without finding anything.

He asked with great interest: "Shall we go in and take a look?" Of course he had a way to enter this seemingly locked house.

Siles thought about it, and finally rejected the idea."We don't have to take risks at this time. I'll go and see tonight," he said.

Qin Duo understood.

Of course, what Siles said was not in reality, but in the long river of history.Now that they have investigated many clues, Siles believes that they can rely on the help of the long river of history to a certain extent... only a small part.

He mainly wants to go to the history of the Shadow Period to find out.

Then, they left the theater district and went to the Fillmore Family Museum.It's not too far from here, about 10 minutes' walk.

This museum is an independent two-story building, which looks quite magnificent.

Both Dorothea and Angela had introduced the situation of this building to Siles before.

The first and second floors are museum areas that are open to the public. The first floor contains relevant materials, collections, etc. after the Fillmore family came to the Principality of Const, and the second floor is before they came to the Principality.

The third floor is not open to the outside world. It is said that some secret materials, documents, and some precious collections of the family are preserved.

Now, the museum is not yet open to the public.If there is no accident, it should not be officially opened to the public until the nobles have finished their visit on Saturday.

Not far from this building, there is a small fountain square.Some people stopped to rest in the shade of the trees, and Ginto joined them.With the help of his cover, the puppet looked at the museum from a distance.

After a while, a slight sound entered Qin Duo's ears.

"Since they plan to open the family museum to the public after the nobles have visited on Saturday, I'm afraid there will be no major incidents on Saturday's visit. I suspect they will not dare," Siles said.

Qin Duo nodded in agreement.

"...However, it may just not be a major event on the surface." Siles said.

"Pollution?" Ginto asked sharply.

Who knows what art the Fillmore family will put in the museum?In the event that something in it harbors dire or hidden contamination, it's going to look pretty bad.

...Besides, there is a question, how many of these nobles who went to visit the museum will appear in the auction at night?

There may not be many originally, but it is impossible to hide the matter of the Grand Duke's participation in the auction.Some aristocrats are bound to jump at this opportunity.This complicates the situation a little bit.

Of course, it is also possible to make shadow believers throw a mouse.

But, then again, this is exactly what Siles has been wondering about—if the Grand Duke goes to the auction, is it the shadow believers who secretly push it?

... This made Siles sigh secretly.

Ebenezer Const.This shadow believer who has always been hiding in the city of Lamifa, ready to move, has indeed put a lot of pressure on them.

Fortunately, they have noticed the problems of the Fillmore family.

It won't gain anything just to watch from here, but it doesn't seem like a good idea for Qin Duo to come to ask directly.Siles then said, "Find a hidden place, and I'll change my identity."

Qin Duo nodded, and he went to a nearby alley with many twists and turns, and then walked away at the end.After a while, a young man who appeared to have just grown up walked out of the alley.

He has a palpable air of pride, even if he's wearing a bit of shabby clothes.He is the kind of young man who is fledgling and does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

He walked across the street with a somewhat affected, wagging head, but stopped suddenly.When he saw the gorgeous building, he showed a little yearning expression.

He approached it unknowingly.

"Stop! Young man!" the guard yelled at him, "This is private territory!"

"...What?" The young man blushed, "But, this is just a building in Ramifa City! Can't I just stand outside and take a look?!"

A trace of contempt flickered in the guard's eyes, and he said, "I'm afraid you will never earn the value of a teacup in this building in your life. Come on, young man, standing here will not help your livelihood."

The young man became annoyed, gasping for breath, glaring at the guard.

Another guard looked at his companion with some disapproval.But the hot sun made him lazy to care about it.He took off his helmet and wiped the sweat that had trickled down his eyes.

The young man seemed to be proud all of a sudden, he said: "But, what are you? I am blocked here, but even if you can see the teacup, it is impossible for you to drink that cup of tea yourself. You and them There is a thick layer of glass between them.

"You can't see it, but you can feel it!"

The guard who was wiping his sweat stopped suddenly.The guard who spoke to the young man first turned pale, and said, "Okay, kid! Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here!"

"Oh, is the owner here a big man who I can't afford to provoke?" The young man said with a laugh.

The guard said darkly: "Even the Grand Duke has to give him three points!"

Thoughts flickered imperceptibly in the eyes of the young man, and he continued nonchalantly, "What, I don't believe it. Is there really any 'private territory' in Ramifa City?"

The guard who hadn't spoken all this time suddenly said: "Okay, young man. This is indeed not the place you should come. Maybe you are just curious about this place, but this kind of good
