The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Hurd Dreyson lay quietly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.

His expression was rather deep.It was an expression that could never have appeared on the young man's face, but now it did appear.He seemed to be thinking about something.

He was alone in this room, and the room looked very empty.This is a certain dwelling in Biddle City, the house of an explorer whom his companions knew, and it is said that the explorer is very reliable.

...But this is not what Hurd is concerned about now.

The daylight shifted, time passed bit by bit, he remained motionless, but his expression became more complicated and confused.

Suddenly, he sat up from the sofa.There was a knock at the door.

At that moment, he showed a vigilant and anxious expression.But soon, when the visitor spoke, Hurd's expression changed immediately.

"Mr. Qindo!" Hurd opened the door, calling out the identity of the person outside the door in an unexpected, uneasy but indeed excited tone.

A wooden doll sits on Gindo's shoulders.Hurd stared at the puppet, and then said dryly, "Did...Mr. Phantom asked you to come?"

Qin Duo was noncommittal, but just walked into the empty room.He frowned suddenly and asked, "Are you staying here alone?"

He had seen Hurd before, so it would not be difficult to find this young man using the Bloodline manuscript.Cendor, however, had expected Heard to stay with his fellow explorers.

Outside the window, the cool wind from the distant desert blew over Hurd's cheeks, making him tremble violently.

He showed a wry smile, and said almost tiredly: "But... I dare not stay with them, and they don't want to... I'm afraid that something will happen again."

Qin Duo said with certainty: "Do you think the death that happened in Biddle City is related to you?"

Hurd stood there for a moment in silence, then whispered, "The deaths didn't start until I came to this city. They followed... once again."

Qin Duo narrowed his emerald green eyes slightly, and then stared at the young man.

Obviously, this speculation hit Hurd hard.

Originally, after killing the killers who wanted to kill him, Hurd thought that he had got rid of the shackles of family beliefs, but the situation seemed not as simple as he imagined.

Qin Duo didn't bother to say anything to comfort Hurd, he said instead: "Then let's talk about these deaths."

Hurd nodded silently.He did look very depressed, but the whole person was still calm.He whispered: "I originally planned to go to the dream to meet Mr. Phantom after investigating the whole matter... I have already troubled you too much, haven't I?"

On the contrary, this is very similar to the performance of Hurd who just came to the Land of No Ashes in Qin Duo's impression.

Qin Duo was noncommittal, but he still took the trouble to explain: "In any case, the real culprit behind these deaths is also the person Mr. Ghost is paying attention to. We have the same goal."

Hurd was at a loss for a moment, he seemed to be relieved suddenly, but also seemed to want to cry or laugh.Finally, with a complicated look on his face, he said, "Yes...I'm sorry."

He suddenly apologized without explaining why he was apologizing.

Then he hastily turned the conversation to those deaths.

He said: "We arrived in Biddle City in early September. I originally wanted to rest here for about ten days, and then go to the post station in the northwest to pick up my grandmother... She is too old to travel, so I will He intends to settle with her in Biddle City.

"However, on the very day we arrived, the first death happened. At that time, I didn't realize what was wrong... There were always dead people in the Land of Embers. But, later, more and more deaths happened.

"On the most day, three people died in a row. They died around me... Finally, it was my companion's turn... Now, I dare not touch anyone anymore."

He murmured, but the meaning in the words caused Qin Duo's expression to change slightly.

Qin Duo said: "Death around you?"

Hurd was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "The explorers who drank with me, the explorers who stayed in the same hotel, the explorers who passed by at the underground fair or did business, in the city The explorer who chatted casually...

"Zero and zero, I can always tell a little bit about them. Not very familiar, I don't even know their names, but I do deal with them.

"...For so many days in the past, I have been recalling and thinking about the little memories related to them, racking my brains, and carefully considering how they would cause trouble... Finally, it was my companion's turn.

"So I think, the whole thing is very likely to be related to me. Maybe it's those guys hiding in the dark again... They followed me again... Then, they threatened me with the death of these people."

Qin Duo was slightly taken aback.

It's not that he really thinks that someone is secretly spying on Heard's situation, he just thinks that this situation is really in line with the style of shadow believers.

...like a spider's web in a dark corner.In an imperceptible place, the spider silk has tightly entangled the prey.

If the only point of intersection between these dead and each other is that they all dealt with Heard Dreyson, then everything seems to be true, as Heard said, that the Shadow Believers secretly targeted this young man.

...but why should they do it now?

Hurd had gotten rid of those killers at the end of July, and it was now mid-September.Nearly two months have passed, and the shadow believer finally remembered that he was going to attack Hurd?

Most of the shadow believers are now in Lamifa City, and they may not know Heard's whereabouts.

Besides, if those new shadow believers did it... how would they know of Hurd's existence?Could it be that in such a short period of time, this group of new shadow believers has contacted the old shadow believers?

Qin Duo felt suspicious of all this.The plan of the Shadow Believers in Lamifa City has not been completed yet, but inexplicable changes have occurred in the Land of Never Embers.

...Perhaps, it's just that the "shadow" approached Fisher's world at a certain moment, and under the influence of his power, all people and things related to its concept will be shrouded in its shadow.This is also possible.That is an invisible pollution.

Not even death can abate this pollution.

Those enlighteners with higher spirituality came into contact with Herd Dreyson unintentionally, and were affected by the pollution related to the "shadow" carried by Herd, so they went crazy and died in the invisible pollution.And their deaths spread like a virus.

...but is it really all about Hurd?

Even though Jindo was arrogant by nature, he was not willing to say so in front of Hurd.

"Are you sure that those dead were not homicides?" Qin Duo asked.

He did have a piece of relevant information on hand, but he wanted to hear what Hurd had to say.

"I'm sure." Hurd said, "We secretly investigated every dead person... There are some news that are only circulated among the explorers."

Qin Duo also understands this.For those investigators who are too official, the explorers are not willing to reveal the information they know, and they avoid it.

Therefore, Qin Duo looked at Hurd with great interest, and was very curious about what Hurd found out.

"...they came from all over the world. The earliest one came to Biddle City in May this year, and the latest one was our group." Hurd said, "They all came to Biddle City to rest and plan to wait Going to Gladstone and Gainesd later..."

"Wait." Qin Duo suddenly and keenly noticed a question, "'again'?"

Hurd was at a loss for a moment, and then understood Qin Duo's meaning: "You mean, the experience of these deceased people before they came to Biddle City?"

"Where have they all been?"

Hurd said awkwardly: "It's hard to be sure...Many explorers are alone. However, some of them should have traveled through the fog, because I once heard one of the dead in a tavern talk about'resurrection' Ego' ritual-related matters.

"...It's basically, how to make better use of this ritual in the mist. It's still a hot topic in the land of no embers. People always talk about it."

Hurd said dryly, but his eyes were a little uncontrollably excited.He seemed to suddenly realize that there was a sudden turning point in this matter... It was as if there was a glimmer of light in the heavy, oppressive and hopeless darkness.

Qin Duo thought for a while, and said simply: "You should investigate." He didn't have so much time to stay in Biddle City, so it's better to leave this matter to Hurd, "Maybe they are in Biddle City Bad things were provoked outside the city.

"...But, what happened to your companion? Where did you go before you came to Biddle City?"

Hurd sorted out his thoughts, and said: "In August, we went further west and south from the inn in the northwest. You know the rumors about the 'Menawaka's Fortune' in the west of the Never Embers. ?"

Qin Duo nodded calmly.He thought to himself, isn't this what Alfonso mentioned to Mr. Ghost in the dream?

Anecdotally, it is believed that, as a god of merchants, Menawaka also amassed a great fortune.

A zigzag path has been pointed out—from a hill in the northwest of the Everland, to a desert in the southwest of the Everland, to the Booth Mountains just south of the Everland—where the treasure might lie. somewhere in this.

This is a rumor from the west of the Eternal Lands. In fact, those three places correspond to the places where Pessonari, Thaddeus, and Trisley fell... It just so happened that these three gods blessed the empire. Remember the ancient and powerful August Empire.

All in all, simply speaking of "Menawaka's wealth", it is more like a far-fetched human fantasy about wealth.But combined with the broken line path, this rumor seems to be full of deep meaning.

Hurd didn't notice Qin Duo's expression, he seemed to be lost in memory, and said slowly: "We are a little interested in that rumor... It just so happened that during that time, I didn't know how to face my grandmother... off we go.

"We walked along the rumored route for a while, but we didn't finish it. We stayed in the wilderness in the southwest for a while. We originally wanted to go to a nearby city, take a rest, and then go to Booth Mountains, but..."

Having said that, Hurd paused suddenly, and he slowly showed a surprised expression, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"What? Why did you come to Biddle City?" Qin Duo asked.

From the southwest to Biddle City, Hurd and his party almost crossed half of the Eternal Land.This may seem a bit surprising.

Hurd murmured: "Because...we stayed in the wild for several days... Cagle said he felt too tired. He was too old to bear this kind of expedition. He planned to return to Biddle City , because he purchased real estate here.

"...I kept thinking about my old grandmother during that time...she stayed in that post, and although I asked someone to take care of her, she was also old.

"So I thought, why don't we go to Biddle City, maybe we can find a suitable house there, we can settle here, and it happens that there are a lot of Const people here, and my grandmother is more used to this environment. The others They also agreed to go to Biddle City.

"...It should be said that we just came to Biddle City, intending to see off Cagle...He does not intend to continue to be an explorer, but intends to retire...but..."

Qin Duo whispered: "But something happened to him."

Hurd was silent.

Cagle was the deceased, who died of a heart attack in the middle of the night.He is old and has been busy all the way, so there is indeed a risk of sudden death, but...

... Originally, Hurd and the others would not come to Biddle City.

From the southwest corner of Land of No Embers to Biddle City, even by train, it would take at least half a month.If it wasn't for Cagle's proposal to retire and go home, this group of people would probably just find a nearby city, post station, or village to stay for a while and take a good rest.

Because of Cagle's mention, they temporarily changed the itinerary.

"...What do you know about Cagle?" Qin Duo asked, even with interest in his tone.

Hurd's eyes widened suddenly.He obviously realized what Qindo meant—perhaps, there was a problem with Cagle's identity.

"He..." Hurd thought for a while in a panic. He didn't dare to refute Qin Duo's guess. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he didn't even have a deep understanding of Cagle.

After a while, Hurd took a deep breath, and he said slowly: "When I went to the Sea of ​​Folio, Cagle was the first to reach out to me. He took the initiative to invite me to join him. team, saying that a young man like me shouldn't be wandering the Never Embers alone.

"...I joined his team. After that, we have been acting together. I told him some things about my family...Of course, there was no mention of Folio Sea, just that I and my There are some conflicts in the family.

"Cagle is an experienced explorer, he taught me a lot. When those people came to hunt me down at the end of July, Cagle helped a little. He could have pushed me out, but he still Stay on my side.

"...After that incident, the station, and some other people in the team, suspected that I brought them bad luck...It was Cagle who insisted that these things had nothing to do with me, he thought I was just a Unlucky...

"But even so, we still had to leave the inn... so I guess.

"Then it's... going west, going south, living in the wild... nothing unusual, everything is an ordinary state of exploration... until Cagle suddenly said that he planned to retire and planned to return to Biddle City... until he suddenly had an accident... ..."

Hurd fell silent.

Qin Duo frowned.

As Hurd said, everything seemed to be normal, and there was nothing unusual... But something happened to Cagle.The same goes for other explorers.

… No wonder Hurd thinks everything is his fault.

Qin Duo thought for a while, but couldn't come up with any clues.He then asked: "Have you found any clues about 'Menawaka's fortune'?"

Hurd shook his head.

Qin Duo felt a little regretful, and he said: "It seems that we still need to compare and analyze the experiences of other deceased."

"I'll look into it," Hurd said.He looked like he'd finally pulled himself together.

Qin Duo nodded casually, and he asked again: "By the way, I want to ask you two names. Ed Gissing, David Babbitt, you have heard of it... oh, it seems that you have heard of it. "

Hurd's sudden surprised expression had already indicated that he had indeed heard of these two names.

Qin Duo asked thoughtfully: "Have you heard of it?"

"...Yes, it's like this..." Heard was a little at a loss, and he slowly explained, "Ed Gissing, if I remember correctly, this is the owner of a map store?

"My parents seem to know him. When his map store opened, we even went to support it... When I left Ramifa City at the beginning of the year, I wanted to go to him to buy maps, but I didn't bring much money...

"I was surprised at how expensive maps were when he opened his map shop... so I knew I couldn't afford them. It made me feel very... ashamed when I left home.

"As for David Babbitt... I know my grandfather would deal with this dealer. He seems to sell some not-so-legal art, and my grandfather bought some.

"...Others, I don't know much about it."

Hurd said nervously, "Will this help?"

Qin Duo thought about it, then nodded.This made Hurd greatly relieved.

Hurd was stunned for a while, then murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself: "I have to... investigate the past of those deceased."

Qin Duo looked at him, feeling that the young man's mental state might not last until the end of the investigation, so he asked, "Where's your fellow explorer?"

This made Heard silent for a while.Later, he said: "After Cagle died ... they didn't want to deal with me. They seem to have decided that I brought them bad luck.

"...Do you think so?"

He seemed to be looking for comfort, or seeking help, staring fixedly at Qin Duo.

But there is not much gentleness in Qin Duo's temperament.He just said, "You're the one, so you don't have to ask me the answer to that question."

Heard was taken aback.

"...Speaking of which, you still owe Professor Siles Noel a hundred duke coins." Qindo said with a half-smile, "Do you remember?"

Hurd was dazed for a while, and then blushed suddenly.He rubbed his cheeks a little awkwardly, and said, "I'll pay you back soon... sorry."

"Don't worry, it's just that it means you have to cheer up, investigate and make money, Hurd Dreyson." Cinder said.

For the sake of Siles, Qin Duo was willing to encourage the young man a little.

... As for whether Hurd was encouraged, that's another matter.

Soon, Qindo bid farewell to Hurd and left the dilapidated little house.After leaving, he said to the puppet on his shoulder: "What do you think is going on?"

"I'm inclined to think that the whole thing probably has nothing to do with Hurd," Siles said.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, the rumor of 'Menawaka's wealth' is the most important thing."

Qin Duo was taken aback for a moment, and he said in surprise: "Then it has nothing to do with 'Shadow'?"

"The pollution of the 'Shadow' does exist, but isn't the pollution of the old gods also accompanying us?" Siles said, "It's because we have been paying attention to the 'Shadow' during this time, and what happened in Biddle City happened to happen, so We just thought it had something to do with 'Shadows'.

"However, it may be the followers of the old gods, or it may be the spiritual pollution caused by the old gods.

"Behind the rumor of 'Menawaka's Wealth', it is not sure whether it is the followers of the old gods or the shadow believers who are making trouble, but these dead people in Biddle City may be related to this rumor."

Qin Duo walked out of the house, looked up at the hot sun in the desert, and then murmured: "Kagger."

"Yes, Cagle."

Cagle was the last of the deceased to die.After his death, the past few days in Biddle City have been calm, as if everything has passed.

… Hurd said he appeared to have worked with those victims.But from his vague description, it can be seen that before Cagle's accident, Hurd had been following other explorers.

In other words, it is more accurate to say that the victims had dealings with Hurd and his colleagues-that is, with Cagle.

As the leader of the team, Cagle may even have more contact with these explorers.

Because of Hurd Dreyson's previous experience and the subtle status of the Dreyson family among the shadow believers, when Sirius and Qindo also noticed Hurd's existence, they immediately suspected the whole thing. Things are the handiwork of shadow believers.

...But, that's not necessarily the case, is it?The shadows of the Old Gods have always loomed over the Everlands as well, not just "shadows".

Qin Duo felt a bit of a headache, and he complained in a low voice: "This group of followers of the old gods just add trouble at this time."

Siles could not help but smile. He said, "I am also very interested in the rumor of 'Menawaka's wealth'." To be precise, he is interested in the relationship between Menawaka and Trisley." Also, it would be good to confirm that both Ed Gissing and David Babbitt are related to the Dreyson family."

"Indeed." Qin Duo said, "... I don't know how much they know about the plans of the Shadow Believers?"

"They may not know much, but we can learn from them and get a glimpse." Siles responded, "Maybe I can go to the dreams of other members of the Dreyson family and ask them about these two things." personal understanding."

Qin Duo nodded absently, and he suddenly asked: "It should be almost evening at your place, right?"

There is a time difference of several hours between Biddle City and Ramifa City.

"Yes. I'm planning to go to Finn's house for dinner, and I'm on my way now." Siles said with a slight smile in his tone, "... same as you."

Qin Duo was startled, and then showed a quite genuine smile.He likes this - the feeling of talking with his beloved god and walking side by side in space.

By tomorrow, he will be able to return to Lamifah City and Sirius' side.

Siles didn't chat with Cendo for too long.It didn't take long for him to arrive at the Finn's house, and he had to concentrate on eating.

At the dinner table, he chatted with the Finn family about some recent events in Ramifa City, such as the preparations for the October market, the construction of the city, and so on.

Bertram also casually mentioned that he went to the Church of the Past a few days ago, the purpose of which was of course for the auction.In fact, he was just looking for a psychological comfort.

However, obviously, in the past month, the people who participated in the auction at that time probably needed such psychological comfort.

"Actually, a question I don't quite understand is why that illusion is shared by everyone present." Bertram looked puzzled, "I also know the effects of many mental pollution, but I have never seen such a situation .”

Because it's not mental pollution at all, Siles thought.

He still gave Bertram a few words of relief.

Anthony on the side said disdainfully, "I scare myself."

Bertram: "..."

He stared at his mischievous son for a while.

Siles was speechless for a moment.In fact, what Anthony said is true, but... It always makes people feel a little funny.

Irene told Anthony not to say that, but her tone was quite gentle.

Anthony said unconvinced: "But I don't think my father has changed much recently, and he hasn't been affected in any way... On the contrary, he said that he has slept well recently!"

...the influence of Akamala's power.Siles thought.

But Bertram obviously didn't think so.After thinking for a while, he said, "Is there something wrong that I haven't discovered myself?"

Seeing that his old friend was about to fall into the abyss of self-doubt, Siles said: "However, Bertram, you have already gone to the church of the past, and they must be professional. Then don't worry anymore. "

Bertram thought for a while, and finally, a little relieved, resolved to forget the matter.

He still couldn't help saying: "This matter has made many people restless. I think the Grand Duke will give a result of the investigation, right?"

"I suppose so," said Siles.

After dinner, they looked at the newspaper again.Some newspapers still mentioned the murder in the Theater District, even to Bertram's displeasure.After all, the newspapers had never paid so much attention to the surprise at that auction.

Siles sat at Finn's side for a while, and then returned home alone in the cooling evening breeze.

Nothing happened to him, although he had been secretly on guard.After returning to 99 Kelly Street, he was really relieved.

The current city of Ramifa is not as good as it used to be.Unidentified Shadow Cultists remain in the shadows.They might kill Sirius.It is true that they have not acted, but this feeling of fear also makes people feel a little tired.

However, 99 Kelly Street would be safer.Cendo set up some defensive measures here, and Siles also studied some house defense rituals and arranged them around 99 Kelly Street.

These rituals, as well as the ghosts that float around the house, keep the home as safe as possible.

Siles was reading a book as usual that evening.

At the auction of the Graves family estate, Siles didn't come for nothing.At that time, he purchased a collection of books from the family, and unexpectedly found that there were many books he had never read, which made him very happy.

Some of these books may even come from the Cremo family in the Silent Era.

At the turn of the Age of Silence and the Age of Mist, the Cremore family split into two parts, the Darrow family and the Graves family. Each of these two family branches collected a part of the ancient books of the Cremore family.

Therefore, many of these collections use strange and ancient scripts.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this batch of books was put on the list of items for the auction.

However, this happened to be convenient for Siles.The speech ability gained from the puppet allows him to read these books with ease.

In the past month, he has read a lot of these books on and off.He noticed that many books about Ruthmi were involved here, which was very consistent with the beliefs of the Cremore family.

However, there is no mention in these books about the emergence of "shadows".

In any case, there are indeed many things about the old gods mentioned here, some of which are even unheard of by Sirius.

He even occasionally gets a [Knowledge + 1] reminder from the dice after reading a book. In the past month, he has gained three knowledge attributes, which brought his knowledge attributes to 78 points.

These writings from Ruthmi's believers, or books related to Ruthmi, made Siles realize that Ruthmi and her followers seemed to be the first group to notice the arrival of the "shadow".

It is true that there is no mention of "shadow" in these books, but some minor details made Celes aware of this subtle problem.

Siles had read relevant materials about Luthmi's kingdom of God, the Mingguang Empire, and he still remembered that in the distant Imperial Period, the people of the Mingguang Empire had already had the ambition to explore the universe.

Related to this ambition is naturally a strong curiosity about the question of "whether there are creatures and civilizations similar to ours on other planets in the universe".

A question that followed, and was soon associated with blasphemy, was—are there similar gods on such a planet?

Of course, Fisher's world has many gods, but these gods perform their duties.

For example, if in Fisher's world, Ruthmi represents a star, and in another world, another god represents a star, then who is the real "star"?

Ordinary believers don't know that the existence of gods belongs to a civilization, and it is naturally unique and unique within its civilization.They just face their own huge, magnificent, and boundless real world, and then have to think about those "outside the world" problems.

The connection between these old gods in Fisher's world and their believers is rarely reflected in the mind.In other words, the old gods are not really interested in what goes on in the mediocre brains of human beings.

Although believers will label many things and many ideas in the name of blasphemy, the old gods rarely show the wrath of being profane.

In the case of Atkinya, his followers (and even his agents) believed that he would die at his own hands, but Atkinya never showed any emotion about it.He will even take the initiative to instill inspiration about "blasphemy" to his devout believers.

Ruthmi's attitude towards her followers is similar.He has always been noncommittal (and perhaps not very interested) in the idea of ​​His followers wanting to explore the universe, neither offering help nor rejecting their efforts.

Slowly, in the Imperial Period, subtle divisions occurred among Luthmi's followers.

One side believes that civilizations exist on other planets, but those civilizations may not have gods, and even if they do, they are different from their gods. In other words, Ruthmi is the only "star".

The other party has already contradicted the former on the major premise. They believe that the Fischer civilization is a unique civilization in this universe, and it was born because of its unique god.

Some subtle conflicts arose between the two parties.It can also be said to run in the opposite direction.

Of course, to this day, in the age of the Fog, looking back at the past, the blank history of the Shadow Age is particularly glaring.

No one knows why the contradiction that was just born in the middle and late period of the Imperial Period turned into a break between the two sides during the Silent Period after more than a thousand years in the Shadow Period.

...because, "Shadow"?

Siles just glimpsed some things that surprised him from those unfamiliar languages.

He suddenly discovered that the Cremore family was actually on the side of the former, that is, the ancestors of the Cremore family seemed to recognize that there were other civilizations in this universe—on other planets, there might be other civilizations. the gods.

In some correspondence, manuscript, or file, he saw dark, unsettling descriptions.They speak of "outsiders," "new gods," "new arrivals," "replacements," "new births," and the like.

At this point, Siles understood why the Cremer family (and later the Darrow family and the Graves family), and even other believers who originally believed in Ruthmi, would suddenly turn to the "Shadow".

Gradually, they seemed to think that Ruthmi had some connection with that "outer god".

The god of stars and light, the shining lamp in the sky, Luthmi.

... have you noticed?

The stars, the high sky... "Luthmi" should have been the stars outside Fisher's world and above the high sky.He is originally "outside the world" and "the alien God".

…Sileus was not sure if the followers of the stars were tainted by the "Shadow" or if they were really caught up in this crazy idea.

All in all, at some point in the late period of Silence, perhaps after the death of Graves Darrow Creamer, the Creamer family completely became believers in "Shadow".

It is difficult to say whether they really know the nature of "shadow".They seem to be aware that "Shadow" comes from outside Fisher's world, but they somehow pass it off as "Luthmi".

The stars of Fisher's world, and the stars of the world outside.They seem to think it's all "stars".

...Maybe they just need an object of worship, no matter who that object of worship is.

The distorted and crazy cognition of these believers always makes people shudder.

Siles sighed inwardly, then closed the book in front of him.He took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and felt an indescribable complex feeling.

This book is the manuscript of an ancestor of the Cremer family, and the manuscript mentions many points of view about the dispute between the two factions, as well as his own ideas.

The writing in the manuscript is quite ancient, an ancient variant of the script of the Silent Sardinian Empire (probably written in the early Silent Period), which has been completely lost to modern theory.

If Siles hadn't borrowed the power of Akamala, then he wouldn't have been able to understand the meaning.Therefore, members of the Cremer family may not have fully understood the meaning of the words in this manuscript.

The self-struggle of human believers.

It's not uncommon, of course.

Siles had read so many manuscripts or written records of human believers, and he was already very familiar with these contents.But it wasn't pleasant either.Especially since he did know much about what happened in the Shadow Age
