Chapter 37 Farming Can't Save the City of Silver 1
Tingen, Narcissusstrasse 2.

After another delicious dinner, the Moretti family is cleaning up the dining table and the kitchen. Today it is the turn of their youngest sister, Melissa, to do the dishes.

After Klein wiped off the stains on the dining table with a rag, he sent his elder brother Benson back upstairs to rest, and brought the remaining unwashed tableware to the kitchen.

The sound of splashing water sounded.

Melissa was standing next to the sink in a black robe, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her slender arms that had grown a little flesh. The passing water.

"Melissa."

Klein's voice came from behind her, and there was obvious entanglement and hesitation in his tone.

"What's the matter? Klein." Melissa turned her head and took a look before continuing with the work in hand.

"It's like this." Klein scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it. He had many questions in his heart but didn't know where to ask them.

"I want to ask, about Miss Elsa, after she left, do you still communicate?"

"Elsa? Of course, she has a very deep understanding of mechanical knowledge and is very patient. She answered many questions for me and recommended many useful books to help me learn. We agreed to send each other once a week. Letter. What's the matter, Klein."

Melissa stopped the movements in her hands, looked at Klein and asked back.

She stared suspiciously at Klein's eyes, as if doubting Klein's motives, and then said:
"Although I like Miss Elsa very much, Klein, you are not suitable for her. At first glance, Miss Elsa is a well-educated noble lady."

"??? Melissa, don't talk nonsense, how could I like someone like Miss Elsa!" Klein immediately retorted after hearing Melissa's words, and his face instantly turned red.

"really?"

"What did I lie to you for? I'm just curious!"

Klein hurriedly threw down a sentence of justification, and then ended his friendly exchange with Melissa on the grounds that he still had to be busy with work. He hurried back to his room and locked the door behind him.

City of Silver.

The sky here is always in darkness, there is no sun, no moon, no stars, only the continuous lightning in the sky brings a glimmer of light to this land abandoned by God.

"Elder Demeter, are you there?"

A sad male voice suddenly sounded in this quiet area, causing the fat-headed fishweeds planted on both sides to tremble slightly. Many fat-headed fishweeds opened their eyes and stared at this young but tall fish with their dead fish eyes. The tall boy opened his mouth and let out a hissing growl.

"I'm here."

Elder Demeter came out from the fat-headed fish weeds with a watering can, saw Derrick who was being besieged by the fat-headed fish weeds, and asked softly:
"What happened, Derrick?"

"Elder Demeter." Derrick looked up at Demeter, with sadness and sorrow on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, I killed my parents with my own hands. I took my father's long sword with both hands and killed the father and mother who were still lying in the coffin. I know this is necessary, otherwise they will become horrible evil spirits, but I really can't accept all this."

"Elder Demeter, do you think God has really abandoned us? Why are the people of the City of Silver destined to kill their fathers and mothers as soon as they are born?"

Listening to the narration of the boy who was already taller than him, Elder Demeter sighed involuntarily. He reached out and stroked Derrick's fluffy hair, and wiped away the tears on his cheeks. Filled with pity, he said:
"This is the curse of the City of Silver, Derrick, every generation of us has experienced such pain. But every generation has made efforts for the future of the City of Silver, do you still remember the story I told you? ? Derrick, the darkness will eventually pass, and the light will come, why don't you choose to be that light?"

Derrick glanced at Elder Demeter with those sad eyes, then turned his gaze to the sky, and let out a hoarse cry.

"There is no sun here. I have always wanted to be the sun of the City of Silver, but the City of Silver doesn't even have a potion for the Sun Path, even if it is Sequence Nine. How can I become the light?"

Elder Demeter was silent, his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his long green hair was full of life. On the top of his head, a tuft of green hair stood upright, diluting the sense of distance brought by the identity of an elder.

Derrick likes this Elder Demeter very much. It should be said that there is no one who hates him in the City of Silver. Even the chief Colin Iliad, the Sequence 4 demigod 'demon hunter', does not have Elder Demeter. popular.

Elder Demeter is the Sequence 5 'Druid' of the cultivator's path. The fat-headed fishweed around him is a hybrid of him. It has a large yield and is easy to feed. You can find a piece of land and plug it in to grow, except for the dead fish eyes. Infiltrating and noisy, but they are really good as food reserves.

Every household in the City of Silver will plant some fat-headed fishweed, and here, the place called the experimental field by Elder Demeter is the most densely planted fat-headed fishweed.

In the most central area of ​​the experimental field, there is also a statue of a goddess without a face. The elder said that it is a statue named 'Gift of the Earth', one of the important sealed items of the City of Silver, and the source of the black-faced grass.

After struggling for a long time, Demeter finally took out a crystal ball full of gray mist, handed it to Derrick, and said:

"This is a crystal ball where a long-dead city-state sacrificed to the gods. I recently discovered that the gray mist inside it has become more active. This may mean that the gods it points to have begun to recover. Maybe you can pray to it, and it will be up to you Let’s decide, Derrick. There may be opportunities ahead, or an abyss of eternal doom, but you must remember that we are all members of the City of Silver. Believe in the majesty of the gods, not their benevolence.”

"I see." Derrick took the crystal ball, and said solemnly, "Elder Demeter, thank you."

Seeing the figure of Derrick leaving, Elder Demeter let out a long sigh of relief, and then walked into the fat head fish garden, continuing the work he hadn't finished just now.

That crystal ball is a tool to connect with Origin Castle, just like Audrey's bronze mirror. It was originally a prop that Demeter wanted to join the Tarot Club after the Fool's recovery, but Vanessa already had If you join, this crystal ball will be useless, why not give it to Derrick, maybe there will be unexpected results, after all, the character of that child is indeed like 'Light'.
