"Dear Mother, I hope this letter finds you well. "...It is a cold winter. I heard that the rainy season will also last for many days, so I hope you will take care of your health. I bought a nice wool scarf at the October Market, which I hope you will like. It should help you fend off the invasion of the bitter cold. "...I am very sorry that I will be unable to return home to accompany you during the winter break, because a friend has invited me to travel to the Ashless Lands. As you know, my major…-

Siles was equally struck by this quote mentioned by Kellogg. Summary of the Age of Shadows Literature was the book on Kellogg's recommended reading list that provided Siles with the most inspiration. Once again, he gained insight into the relationship between deities and believers of that era from a literary perspective. It was fair to say that after the long Age of Empire drew to a close, when the shadow descended—regardless of what that shadow truly represented—the relationship between gods and…-

Siles turned his head to look at the detective. After a moment of silence, he said, "I understand your meaning. However, we don't have any definitive evidence after all. Right now, we must first address what is about to happen here." Jon peered closely at Siles for a moment, then smiled. "Of course, Professor Noel," he said in a near-nonchalant tone. "Whatever the case, at least I haven't eaten Greyson's food. Have you?" Siles shook his head. "That's good," Jon said lightly, giving Siles a…-

Siles snapped out of his thoughts. With a tinge of confusion, he stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was a young train conductor. Upon seeing Siles’s expressionless face, the conductor stumbled over his words for a moment. Then, jolted awake by the chaotic noises behind him, he hurriedly said, "Sir! Someone on the train claims to have had something stolen, and we are currently asking around about the situation." Someone had been robbed? Siles cast his gaze past the conductor's shoulder.…-

“Good morning, Gren,” Siles greeted him. Grenfield raised a hand without much energy. By his side was the signed novel by Miss Carmin that Siles had brought him. Ever since he got it, he had kept it close at hand and would often look at it with delight. Because of that, Grenfield had been in very high spirits lately. So his gloomy, listless appearance now was definitely not normal. “What’s wrong?” Siles asked, a little puzzled. “Did something happen?” “This morning, on my way…-

Chapter 124: Very Bright and Very Dark "Good afternoon, Professor Noel." The mild-mannered painter, Alden Bridges, greeted Siles with a slight smile. It was January 30th, a Friday afternoon. Nearly two weeks ago, Siles had asked Dorothea for the Bridges family's address and subsequently written a letter to Emil, asking if he would like to test play a sample from the Toy Store. In the letter, he carefully avoided mentioning Mr. Ghost. However, this letter didn't receive a response until…-

Chapter 128: Unlucky Events Siles withdrew his gaze from the windowsill. The doll in the dream said that Siles could manipulate its actions. However, when Siles woke up, he didn't find the doll appearing on his nightstand. An invisible guidance drew his attention to the windowsill, to the dolls he had bought at the underground trade market. One of the dolls suddenly "came alive." It was a smiling, child-like doll, about the size of a palm. After Siles woke up from the dream, it was as if some…-

Chapter 130: The Power of the Scion Chendo froze slightly, his gaze falling involuntarily on the stack of documents in front of him. They were stranded on this empty wilderness, with only a rather dilapidated small town nearby. Outside this train car, people were bustling about, immersed in the joy brought by the card game, almost forgetting the predicament they and the world were in. But Siles had never forgotten. He also knew that Chendo had never forgotten either. After a moment, Chendo…-

It was on the afternoon of the second day that Siles and his companions learned the truth about Mr. Lampson's death. At that moment, he was acting as a croupier, dealing cards for his companions' card game. Then, a conductor suddenly knocked on their compartment door and poked his head in… He was about to say something, but suddenly became tongue-tied because of the messy playing cards on their table. "What happened?" Siles asked. "Uh…" The conductor hesitated for a moment, then said, "We…-

“Miss Garland had always thought that dreaming was a rather fun thing to do. “Because when she dreamed, she always felt lightheaded and bewildered, as if she understood nothing at all—as though the world inside the dream were an entirely different realm. “Every time she went to sleep, every time after saying goodnight to her parents, Miss Garland would lie in bed neat and proper with a feeling of excitement and anticipation, welcoming the arrival of her dreams with utmost…-
