The clown stood quietly in a corner of the central open space within the tents, staring blankly upward at the top of the pavilion, where the fabric formed a brown canopy. His lips were curled upward out of sheer habit, revealing a highly exaggerated, comical smile. Yet because of everything that was currently unfolding, such a smile somehow made one feel as if it were born of sorrow. Suddenly, the clown whispered, "Birds... they're birds..." The birdmen were still flying high up within the…-

Diamonds’ mind was a chaotic blur as he stared at Madame Spades, completely at a loss for words. He recalled the very first time he had met her. Back then, Hearts had just been defeated in a brutal battle against Monkey Face, the Director of the 2030 Branch. Diamonds himself had only recently undergone the grueling surgery to donate his own organs to Hearts, leaving his body in a severely depleted state. The rebel army, Clepsydra, had been stripped of its vital energy; many members had deserted, and…-

Because of what had happened that morning, a heavy atmosphere hung over the entire Light of First Snow train. The four of them were in no mood to play cards anymore. They either lay down or sat, occasionally exchanging a few words. Even the usually lively Alva was prone to let out a sigh now and then. They passed the time in this somber environment until the conductor came looking for them once more, requesting that they all accompany him to the dining car at the front of the train. "What…

“I think so, yes,” Siles said in a low voice. Jimmy let out a small gasp, then fell silent for a long time. After a moment, he said, “Even if you say that... we still have to eat.” His voice was very soft. “We have no other choice.” Siles said, “You work for me, so you can try buying some other food.” “But we’re in West City,” Jimmy said. “There’s only Greyson in West City.” Siles frowned slightly. He thought, Did Greyson really monopolize West City in such a…

They still moved in groups of three to five, swaggering inside with a thoroughly boisterous, free-spirited air. That aura was actually quite different from what one usually saw in explorers throughout the Ashless Lands. However, considering they were explorers hired by the Lamifa Chamber of Commerce, Siles wasn't particularly surprised by their demeanor. He cast a glance in their direction, happened to catch the eye of the squad's leader. Seeing Siles, the man instinctively glanced at his side, and…

House of Hales. He noticed the name of this relay station with some surprise. Not long ago, while observing that map that seemed to come from the explorer Quinto Praia, he had noticed that in the central-southeastern part of the Ashless Land, there was such a relay station. But he had not expected that it would turn out to be the very place where Fredman’s travelogue mentioned the treasure map. Someone had been selling treasure maps at the House of Hales? Siles noticed the timing issue.…

On his very first night at the House of Hales, Siles met the manager of the establishment. The newcomer exuded an expectedly slick, sycophantic aura, perfectly fitting the world's stereotype of a merchant. He handled the situation with practiced ease, dismissing the uninvolved onlookers before asking the remaining group what exactly had transpired. Meanwhile, another individual stepped toward the corpse, seemingly conducting an examination. He produced a knife that looked like a time trace and began…

“So what is this, then?” Chendo asked with great interest. Siles stared at the mound of food in the pan. After a moment of silence, he offered, “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?” “Hmm… How many eggs did you put in? Why does this look more like…” Chendo mused for a moment before saying, “A tomato egg pancake?” Siles fell silent, his gaze slowly shifting toward the trash can. That afternoon, he had come to 32 Lowell Street intending to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He had…

The dining car was completely packed with diners at this moment. Because this train was overcrowded, there were two dining cars available, located at the front and the end of the train. Siles and his group had chosen the dining car at the front. Alva, with his sharp eyes, spotted a table for four and rushed ahead to claim it. Siles and the other two went to select their food. By the time they returned, Siles noticed Alva was red-faced, engaged in a heated argument with someone. Siles couldn't help…

Thank you @Renea for the Kofi~ Chapter 129: Secret Family Letter Chendo's words were no exaggeration; this was indeed a deserted wilderness. Due to the effects of the mist, the territories of countries in the Fisher World were always somewhat fragmented. The mist might separate this village from that settlement, or this city from that port. In short, developable areas always seemed somewhat constrained, as people had to avoid those dangerous zones. The territory of the Duchy of Konst was the…
