Siles was briefly at a loss, slightly startled by the metaphor from his former mentor. He awkwardly touched the bridge of his nose and said, “The rain was heavier this morning.” “Keep warm, young man,” Professor Bright sighed. “When you’re older, you’ll regret the recklessness of your youth.” “I will, Professor,” Siles said. “You should take care of your health too.” Professor Bright snorted. “My health is fine.” He looked Siles over. “Maybe even better than…-

The neon sign flickered to life, and a manufactured crimson sun hung just outside the window, casting a blood-red glow over the room. Inside the Poker Bar, a heavily built man lay in a fluffy pastel-pink fleece blanket, his breathing ragged and deep. Quicksand sat by the bedside, staring at the unconscious man. Beneath the blanket, Hearts’s massive chest rose and fall like slow, rhythmic ocean waves. Just a day ago, the Clepsydra resistance had launched an assault on the Chrono-Entropy…-

The three people took their seats at the Ernestine Tavern. Jon seemed somewhat curious about the relationship between Siles and Chendo, but he didn't pry. After sitting down, he said, "Such freezing weather. The things happening in Lamifa City are even more chilling." Siles nodded in agreement. Jon changed the subject, "Since you are very interested in the Marigold Cup, why not come to my house this afternoon as a guest? Of course, it would be best if you don't mind my messy home." Siles smiled…

"The first possibility is that things aren't as serious as we imagine, nor do they involve extraordinary powers like Revelators, the Blessed Ones, or the followers of the Old Gods. "Perhaps there are simply some issues with his fiancée, or his parents heard that he actually arranged to meet her before the engagement, and in their anger, placed him under house arrest to let him reflect on his actions." Listening to this, the others nodded. They had to admit, they vastly preferred this possibility…

When Siles left the church, it was nearing evening. The setting sun hung unsteadily in a corner of the sky, its dim yellow light making the whole world seem exceptionally desolate. The cool evening breeze of autumn brushed against Siles's cheeks. He saw some fallen leaves on the street being swept up by the wind, then scattering aimlessly. Carriages and crowds bustled past him; the world did the same. Siles boarded a public carriage and returned to Lamifa University in silence. His heart was full…

As they were talking, the several Revelators who were searching for clues in the room came out. The leading Revelator held a small glass bottle in his hand. At the bottom of the glass bottle was a thin layer of light blue solution. Clearly, this was an empty potion bottle. Behind him, another Revelator was talking to Eric, patting Eric's shoulder, looking like he was encouraging him. Siles thought to himself, Did Eric find this glass bottle? "The newcomer you brought has good qualities," the…

Siles's novel seemed to become popular overnight. On the first day it was put on shelves, the initial batch of one hundred copies sold out. Over the following week, a total of nearly ten thousand copies were sold—an unbelievable number. Benton specially invited Siles to dine at the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in Atherton Square. He said excitedly, "You really are a genius novelist! Professor Noel, I'm not just making this up! The market has proven your value!" Siles nodded politely…

Chapter 127: New Changes "Dear Mother, I hope this letter finds you well. "I am planning to purchase a property in Lamifa City and am writing to ask for your opinion. Professor Bright recommended a residence in the neighborhood near Atherton Square; it's a three-story house with a garden. "I am very fond of the independent study and library on the third floor of this house, which suits my needs perfectly. Outside the study window is the long tree-lined avenue next to Atherton Square.

"The room on the east side of the second floor of 19 Bradley Street was always dark; its lights had never been turned on. "So, when Miss Gwen turned the corner and saw the window of that room suddenly as bright as the August sunlight, she couldn't help but wonder curiously: who had moved into such a pitch-black house? "The landlady of 19 Bradley Street was not very likable. She always kept a straight face, sitting in the first-floor foyer, quietly scrutinizing every resident who passed by. "Miss…

The gloomy weather over the weekend brought heavy snow on Monday. January 12, Monday morning. Siles stood by the window, quietly gazing at the snowy scenery outside. After a moment, his gaze fell, resting on the set of dolls on the windowsill. That drew his thoughts involuntarily to the deep-sea dreams he experienced last night. Nona's dream, Jonathan Bryant's dream, and the dream of Nanisal Bryant he additionally wanted to find—none of these three dreams appeared. This made his deep-sea dreams…
