Chapter 126: The Final Power Siles Noel couldn't help but freeze, then frowned slightly. He looked around and saw the wandering street urchins from the West District dispersing and chatting with each other. He indeed didn't see Jimmy. He asked, "Could he have gone to deliver goods and not returned yet?" Anthony shook his head. He was silent for a while, then said, "It's... this afternoon, he told me he had something to take care of. Then he left. He said he would try to be back within two…-

"I'm not sure if this letter will disappoint you, Professor. Uh... I hope not. "Anyway, I'll sneak the bad news to the very front: I couldn't find the painter you mentioned, nor could I find out his name. "...The bad news is over! Let's move on to some good news. "I did find one or two acquaintances who had seen this painter before at the fine arts academy I attend. It was last summer; they said the painter came to the academy for an apprenticeship and worked as a part-time teacher during the rain…

Siles stepped into 18 Hallsville Street at twelve o'clock sharp, and before long, Eric Collens made his appearance. Siles greeted him with a touch of surprise, as his friends typically arrived at Room 52 one after another around one o'clock. Siles usually arrived earlier because he was accustomed to having lunch on the third floor. "Good afternoon, Eric." "Good afternoon, Professor." Eric walked over to Siles's side and said, "I have a reason for coming so early today, though." He pulled an…

Siles conversed with Dominic for a considerably long period of time regarding his experiences in the Ashless Lands, the truth behind the scenes of the Greyson incident, and those followers of the Old Gods in the Ashless Lands. Dominic listened in silence, coming to sudden realizations every now and then, until everything finally dissolved into a sigh. He said, "It seems this is the truth of the matter. I never expected that a single trip to the Ashless Lands would actually allow you to resolve the…

January 1. The first day of the New Year. It was a holiday in the Duchy of Konst. Since Siles had happened to sleep rather late, it was already nearly nine o'clock by the time he woke up. In the early hours of the morning, after saying "Happy New Year" to Chendo and exchanging hugs and kisses, he returned to 6 Hayward Street. Chendo had originally wanted him to stay the night at 32 Lowell Street, as it was simply too late, to spare Siles the trouble of traveling back. But Siles still wanted to go…

"Good morning, Siles," Grenfield said. "Just one more week until the New Year." "Good morning, Teacher," Siles replied. "We can meet up that morning." He sat down in front of Grenfield. The fireplace in the room blazed, giving off an incredibly warm feeling. Freed from the bitter, freezing rain outside, Siles immediately felt much more comfortable. He couldn't help but think that he really should put the leaf specimen matter on the agenda. Grenfield asked, "How is the project on sealed…

“Good evening, Nona.” “Good evening, Mr. Ghost.” Nona stood there, staring at Mr. Ghost with a pair of wide eyes, before speaking up. “Nona didn’t break her promise today. That’s wonderful. Nona isn’t a bad child.” Mr. Ghost chuckled softly at her words. “So, Nona, is there anything you can tell Mr. Ghost today?” Nona tilted her head slightly and answered, “Yes. Mr. Ghost, you told me before that there were other children like me who got sick. So, after I woke up, I…

“... “...I have seen death pass me by. “...In my youth, when I had just become a believer of my God, my admiration for death was so deep that I desperately wanted to experience death firsthand. “Here I must remind the reader: death, after all, is terrifying, so no matter what, do not follow my example. This is advice coming from a tottering old man. “In short, I tried various methods, attempting to draw closer, ever closer to the deity I revered. Yet whether it was because my young…
