Mystery: The Star Key

Chapter 23: City of Silver (this

In a gray tower, there are many corpses in the vast hall.

Igna stood at one side of the hall, silently looking at the young man in the middle of the hall.

There were two coffins in front of the boy. Judging from the two faces that resembled the boy, the ones lying in the coffins should be the boy's parents.

The couple in the coffin hadn't really died yet. They tried to keep their eyes open, sometimes weakly, sometimes panting violently, but in the eyes of some people, the brilliance of their lives has become irresistibly dim and irreversibly dim.

"Derrick, do it." An old man in a black robe and a hard cane said in a deep voice, looking at the young man with a distorted face.

"No, no, no!" The brown-haired Derrick shook his head continuously, taking a step back every time he uttered a word, and at the end he screamed like his heart was being torn apart and his lungs were being ripped apart.

Boom!

The old man's cane was pressed heavily on the floor, and he said, "Do you want the whole city to be buried for your parents?"

"You should be very clear that we are the people of darkness abandoned by God, and we can only live in this place full of curses. All the dead will become terrifying evil spirits, which cannot be reversed no matter what method is used. Except, except for the same People of blood will end their lives with their own hands!"

"Why? Why?" Derrick shook his head in bewilderment and despair, "Why are the people of our City of Silver destined to kill their fathers and mothers as soon as they are born?"

The old man closed his eyes, as if recalling what he had experienced in the past. His voice was low and hoarse: "...that is our destiny, this is the curse we bear, this is the will of God..."

"Draw your sword, Derrick, this is a respect for your parents."

Derrick, who was standing in front of the coffin, wanted to speak, but after heaving his chest a few times, he could only squeeze out a ho-ho sound from his throat.

Derrick took a difficult step.

On the stone slab in front of him was a simple silver straight sword. The sword swayed slightly in the thunder that shook the house from time to time.

Derrick stretched out his right hand tremblingly.

"Woo—" He let out an extremely suppressed and extremely low voice from his throat, and suddenly pulled out the straight sword with his right hand.

thump thump!

Derrick lowered his head, rushed forward, held the straight sword high, and stabbed down heavily.

"ah-"

With a scream of pain, blood splashed out, onto Dalek's face, and into his eyes.

The boy's eyes seemed to be bright red, but he still roared, drew his straight sword, and stabbed into the coffin next to him.

The sharp metal pierced through the flesh easily.

But the boy seemed to have no soul.

He let go of his hand and stood up unsteadily.

He didn't even look at the two coffins, he stumbled out of the hall as if being chased by an evil spirit.

"The City of Silver has existed since the land abandoned by the omniscient and omnipotent God who created everything. However, it existed before that, but it was still called the Kingdom of Silver." Michelle, standing next to Igna Watkins said.

He is the "tour guide" responsible for leading Igna to "tour" the history of the City of Silver this time. Responsible for taking Igna to "travel" the history of the City of Silver being saved by the Fool.

Igna nodded slightly.

Michelle Watkins has curly gray hair and doesn't look too old. He has narrow and long eyebrows, a small scar on the left side of the nose bridge on his face, and a beard that has been carefully groomed. He is refined and polite, and his voice continued softly:

"When the sun disappears from the sky, when the clouds are torn out of the gap, when lightning and thunder become the masters, monsters hidden in the depths of darkness suddenly appear. They are terrifying, evil, and unimaginable, making people in the city of the Silver Kingdom One after another was destroyed. The 'Dark Age' came."

"The remnants of the strong gathered in the City of Silver, relying on the strength of unity and two magical items, resisted the attack of the dark things, and gradually cleared an area on the road of ordinary human beings to establish the last fire that protects human civilization. city-state."

"In the first few decades, plants could not grow, and the City of Silver was seriously short of food. It could only satisfy its hunger by hunting dark monsters with flesh and some mutated animals. The population began to decline rapidly and unstoppably. Fortunately, later we After finding the black-faced grass, they can survive tenaciously in this environment, and have become a reliable and stable source of food for the City of Silver for thousands of years."

"'Black-faced Grass' is considered to be the last blessing left by the great gods, and it has allowed the City of Silver to persevere from generation to generation, for 2,582 years in the dark age."

Igna was silent.

Two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years.

If calculated according to the knowledge he has, this period of time is longer than the time from when Qin Shihuang established the first dynasty in 221 BC to when he crossed over. It took China two thousand years from the beginning of the first feudal dynasty to a democratic and scientific society.

And the City of Silver has persisted for 2,580 years in such a disaster.

"However, we also bear the curse of fate." Michelle looked at the two coffins in the mortuary hall and asked, "Do you know why Elder Derrick Berg had to kill his parents? "

Igna was silent and didn't speak.

The old man with a cane just revealed something~lightnovelpub.net~ is a curse.

It is a curse that the people in the City of Silver can only kill their closest relatives.

And the curse that the direct bloodline must end the life of a close relative is too cruel and too sad.

"Yes, it's a curse." Michelle said softly.

There was no joy or sorrow in his voice, it seemed that he was just calmly stating a dusty history.

"Silver City bears the curse of fate. No matter ordinary people or extraordinary people, they will become evil spirits after death. It's just that the evil spirits converted by extraordinary people are weirder, more terrifying, and more difficult to deal with. This curse has made Silver City several times in history. Nearly destroyed, the only solution is to end the life of the deceased by the hands of those of the same blood."

"According to Elder Derrick Berg's opinion, he said that if you want to write about Mister Fool's redemption of the City of Silver from his perspective."

"Please be sure to start recording from this moment."

Hold on tight to the little sun.

The dragon set thanks the group of friends for "the ups and downs are not in shape, so why test it"

The description of the City of Silver comes from the first volume of Joker, Chapter 137 City of Silver. In order to conform to Igna's third-person perspective, Derrick's behavior has been changed and changed to a certain extent.

This chapter is to make the plot complete and restored. A lot of original text descriptions are used. As a rule, there is therefore no charge.

However, the follow-up related content of the City of Silver depends on the subjective processing and the difficulty of sorting out the materials, and decides whether to charge or not. Thanks for understanding.

Finally, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When I looked back, I realized that the foreshadowing of Feng Baizhi and the Hanged Man was planted at this time. The squid is really awesome! ! This is the true God!
