The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

Siles carefully looked at the specific content of this manuscript, and recognized the relevant content from the scribbled handwriting full of madness and fear.

Later, he realized that it seemed to be a study note.

Of course, this reading note is not so formal, and there are no excerpts and post-reading impressions.It's more like Professor Kabell wrote down some thoughts in his heart while reading.

The whole piece of paper is about the size of four palms, and the content is roughly divided into four pieces.

In the upper left corner, Professor Kabel wrote a few doubts in his heart: "Is the content of this book true or false?" "Unknown source..." "If it is true, then it is inevitable..." "Damn! Damn! How is it possible! "

These contents have no gold content, but they can perfectly reflect the tension, fear and anxiety in Professor Kabell's heart when reading.

He obtained a book of unknown origin, the content of which shocked him, and even shook some... long-standing concept.

In the lower left corner, Professor Kabell repeatedly wrote several words: "shadow", "madness" and "silence". "Shadow" "Shadow" "Madness" "Madness" "Silence" "Silence".

There is also a word secretly written in the corner. "killing".

Siles stared at the "killing" for a while.

In the upper right corner, Professor Kabell seems to have excerpted a short sentence like a monologue.A few words were blacked out, and a few were written so scribbled that Siles didn't even recognize them.

"I don't believe (the blacked-out writing) will die.

"The gods should always be high above (scribbled writing).

"Believers should always prostrate themselves before Him.

"There must be something we don't know.

"...What (the blacked-out writing) is always silent in the darkness..."

Siles stared at the rows of words quietly, and countless possibilities flashed in his mind in an instant.

This passage...could be an excerpt, or Kabel's own words, which made Siles feel a subtle sense of dissonance.He didn't know where that sense of dissonance came from.

Suddenly, an alert sounded.

[Spirituality +1. 】

...spirituality?

Siles took a light breath.

Just looking at this vague text and this messy manuscript, his spirituality has directly increased a little?

Before that, when he left the room of the Historical Society, a reminder sounded in his mind, telling him that his spirituality and knowledge had increased a little.That's normal, after all, he just obtained information related to the revealer.

That was the first time I heard about it, and it is very likely that it will not increase so quickly in the future.

But now, just because he looked at this manuscript, his spirituality has increased a little?

In a group game of the kind played by Cileus, spirituality often means being associated with the gods.If it is explained in a more popular way, then the higher the spirituality, the higher the possibility of encountering extraordinary events-the easier it is to "see ghosts".

He doesn't know if there are ghosts in this world, but the higher the spirituality, the easier it is to find abnormalities and encounter dangers.

He added two points of spirituality today.

Siles feels his future is uncertain.

He couldn't help but look up at the motionless dice on the table, feeling more and more complicated.

He lowered his head again and looked at the last part of the manuscript, which was the lower right corner.There is an eye symbol, but a cross is drawn on the eye symbol, and the two vertical lines are painted very thickly.

...Does this symbol symbolize Antinam?What does that fork mean?Is it disdain for Anti-Nam, or...?

When Siles was dreaming, his spirituality added a little more.

Celeston closed his eyes instantly.Although his expression was calm, this manuscript with a small amount of information made him gain two points of spirituality, which was really bleeding.

It would be nice if a moderator told him exactly why he grew spiritually.However, his irresponsible host simply ignored him.

What is making his judgment?What is prompting the growth of his attribute points?Siles knew nothing.

After a while, he took a deep breath and didn't open his eyes. Instead, he groped to cover the manuscript with other paper, put it aside, and then opened his eyes.

After gaining two points of spirituality, although he couldn't get any information, he had a clue besides this manuscript—what book did Professor Kabel read?Why did he suddenly submit his resignation?Why did his teaching assistant mysteriously disappear?

... Could that book be Time Track?Could something happen to the two of them?

Siles felt tricky and dangerous.In that messy office, it seems that there are still many secrets hidden.

He realizes that on Earth, it might be safe to study the past; but in this world, having the power to recreate past events means the past itself is dangerous.

He stood up, went to the window, looked at the rain and night outside the blurred glass, and gradually calmed down.In any case, he thought, this matter needs a longer investigation process.

Now, he still has to focus on his lesson preparation after all.

Siles stood for a while, feeling that he had finally calmed down completely, and then sat back at the desk.He put the manuscript that had no research value for the time being—and he didn’t dare to study it—to the bottom of the drawer, and then began to read Professor Kabell’s teaching plans.

As the night darkened, Siles sorted out the general framework and class outline of the Silence Period literary theory, and also listed a general book list.The source of reference is the book list that Professor Bright once gave him, as well as the old book that he browsed in the antique bookstore this morning.

Of course, he chose contemporary works carefully, and did not let the students read the literary works before the Wuzhongji.He doesn't know if there are any students who have the qualifications of a revelator.

When he finally put down his pen, Siles let out a slightly relaxed breath.Noticing that the ink bottle was running out of ink, he secretly added an item to tomorrow's shopping list.

He stopped working and tidied up all the papers on the desk, then turned off the wall lamp, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then got up to take a shower and rest.

At this time, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.He thought, is the folklorist back, or is it the couple who left early and returned late?

He didn't hear the sound of opening and closing the door, so he thought it might be the tenant upstairs.He stopped thinking about it and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.He thought that the flush toilet is really one of the symbols of civilization and progress.

Soon, Sirius fell asleep to the sound of rain.The next morning, he still woke up very early.

He lay on the bed for a while, spent a little time reviewing what happened yesterday and what he was going to do today, and then he got up slowly, washed up, changed his clothes and went out.

It was still a gloomy rainy day outside, the wind became stronger, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it seemed that heavy rain was about to pour down.

Siles carefully put on the umbrella and everything that should be brought.He met Mrs. Finn again in the ground-floor foyer.This time, Mrs. Finn's worries and anxieties were almost undisguised.

She attended to Sirius' greeting absently.

Siles said, "I'm going to Logan's Fair. Can I use your kitchen later?"

"What? Oh .

She said it with a hint of anger.

Siles looked at Mrs. Fane and thought, What happened to her husband, or, what happened to her son?

Mrs. Finn's husband, that is, Mr. Finn, is a businessman who travels between Lamifah City and the Land of Never Embers. What seems to be an expensive fur business-this is something that Mrs. Finn shows off with a little Said in tone.

He is away from home all the year round and always returns to Ramifa City at the end of the rainy season.Since it is already the end of July, Mr. Finn is probably going home soon.

...Since Mr. Finn is not at home, it is probably her son who makes Mrs. Finn so anxious at the moment.

that young boy...

Siles had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't ask too much, just nodded politely, and then left 13 Milford Street.From Milford Street to Logan Market, it takes about 10 minutes to walk.

Along the way, Siles finally took the time to look around the environment.

Milford Street is located in the bustling area of ​​Lamifax West City. There are always people coming and going on the street, and most of them have hastily and tired expressions on their faces.The carriage passed by the side of the pedestrians, and now and then there was a conversation or a loud noise.

There are sewers, pipes, toilets, shops, and windows.Compared with some other places in the West City, this block can be regarded as relatively advanced, but it is not as good as the East City.

Most of the blocks in this block are three or four-story buildings, and the brown-red wall bricks are somewhat peeling off.There is little greenery on the street, and most of the portals face the street directly.

Soon, Siles came to Logan's Fair.

He saw the Grenfell Antique Bookstore again, but he didn't know if it was because it was earlier today, so Siles found that the bookstore hadn't opened yet.He originally planned to drop by the kind store manager, but now he had to go to the market first.

Logan Market is a large-scale commercial center, not only a vegetable market, but also a daily necessities mall.

Siles first returned the glass goat milk bottle, and then bought ink, paper, some cardboard boxes for packing luggage, and some longer-lasting loaves of bread, as well as jam and cheese. kind of stuff.

Afterwards, he went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

He was going to cook some hot soup—seriously, don't make things difficult for his cooking skills, if he could cook some soup, and eat it with bread, it would be a good meal.

Nothing more than hot pot with white bread.A strange but filling combination.

Since I plan to cook something similar to hot pot, I must buy some suitable soup base and ingredients.Siles saw a spice shop at the corner of the road and walked over to it.

He stopped at the entrance of the spice store, and found that there was a billboard, mentioning some barbecue seasonings, monosodium glutamate, sauces and the like, which seemed to be selling very well, and many people in the store were buying them.

Siles looked at these advertisements with great interest, comparing them with the corresponding seasonings on earth.He found that this world and the earth are still somewhat similar in some places.

When he entered the store, he found that the shoppers in the store were all modestly dressed women over the age of 30.They cast a curious glance at Sirius who came to this place, and then concentrated on queuing.

Siles discovered that the vast majority of customers were queuing for MSG.He was very curious about the taste of monosodium glutamate in another world, so he was also at the end of the queue.It's a pity that he couldn't buy it, because the monosodium glutamate was sold so well that it was out of stock.

Siles heard the clerk shouting, "The liquid beef is out of stock! It's out of stock! Come back tomorrow! Come back tomorrow!"

The statement of liquid beef surprised Sirius a little.

After listening to other people's opinions, he realized that adding monosodium glutamate directly into the soup is popular now, which can produce the same umami taste as beef, so monosodium glutamate is also known as liquid beef.

... It is said that monosodium glutamate was indeed made from beef in the first place.

Siles couldn't help showing a complicated expression.

He suddenly thought, if he reproduced some seasonings on the earth, could it be regarded as a way to make money?Or, can he sell some cookbooks too?

Thinking about this, he absently bought some sauce and soup base and left.

After that, he went to buy some vegetables and meat.The bustling sounds around him also made him feel a little happy.No matter what the world is, the vegetable market is always so noisy and full of people.

As he was leaving, he heard arguing in front of a new butcher shop.It seems that this butcher shop has just opened, so the price is quite cheap, which has attracted dissatisfaction from other butcher shop owners.

Siles stopped and listened for a while, then looked up at the name of this newly opened butcher shop - Grayson.He thought, if it was really cheap, he could come here to buy meat next time.

Afterwards, he left Logan's Bazaar.

He bought a bunch of things and spent nearly three Duke coins, the most expensive of which were packing cartons and vegetables.

From a distance, he saw that the Grenfell Antique Bookstore was open for business, and he looked down at the pile of things he was carrying in his hand.He was in a dilemma for a moment, but finally went back first, and hastily broke a small piece of bread for breakfast.

Then he went out again to visit the mysterious Grenfell.
