After dinner, Harrest and Rhine were bored. It's not like their village, where you can go out in the middle of the night to steal fruit and fish. It's not like in Ota City, where you can watch an opera and drink beer in the middle of the night. In this ancient castle, every day after dinner, in addition to practicing swords, you can only be in a daze.

The two of them had not yet been to the fifth floor of the castle, but they had only heard General Tie occasionally say that it was not covered and that it was an open platform. This time, they wanted to go up and have a look, and by the way, they exchanged some secrets that could not be heard by others.

La Niña's room was originally on the fourth floor, separated by a wall from the fifth, so their movements were difficult to detect. After finding an excuse to avoid La Niña, two small black shadows sneaked up to the top floor.

The top floor, as General Tie said, is not capped.

The first feeling of the two teenagers stepping into the top floor from the entrance of the building is cool and comfortable, and the second feeling is fresh and natural, and the subtle breeze easily blows away the fatigue of the two teenagers, making them feel relaxed and happy.

There weren't many facilities built on the fifth floor, just a few stone chairs and a few wooden stakes for boxing. It seems that people don't come here very often.

Hallester and Rhein walked to the parapet and stood with their hands on it, enjoying the silence and tranquility.

"From here, it's really dark outside, what time do you think the demons go to bed at night? Have you slept now? Rhine looked at the forest where the demons were stationed outside the giant gate, and there was no light at all.

"I don't think they would have gone to bed so early, and the reason why it was so dark was either because they could see it at night, or because they didn't know how to make torches." Hallester said.

"The demons will definitely make torches! Don't think they're so stupid...... I think they're used to the darkness, so they deliberately don't light up the surroundings. I can even imagine those demons snuggling together in the dark and resting and talking. Rhine said as if he had seen it out of thin air.

"Oh yes! Do you remember the silver moth we used to catch and play with when we were kids? Rhein asked suddenly

"I can't forget that thing, it's just a moth, but it's the size of a palm, and the silver dust on its body is scattered everywhere when it flies! And when he sees fire, he goes to ...... If you don't close the doors and windows at night in the summer, you can fly in four or five in one night! Harrest's memory of the moth's silver powder is still vivid, because every time he catches one, there is always a layer of fine silver powder on his body, and he can't wash it off!

"I'll tell you, I heard someone tell me the story of that moth in the academy some time ago! It turns out that the moth has a much longer lifespan than we thought! This is something Rhine overheard from other classes in nature class.

"How long?" Hallrest was curious.

"Ten years!" Rhine said as he gestured with his finger a "ten"

"Won't you...... So why do we only see it in the summer? Hallrest asked, shocked. He had always thought that the lifespan of this moth was only a few months, and that the hatching and egg laying were all completed in a few months.

"Because most of its life has been spent on the land! The eggs of these moths hatch into a type of larvae that burrow in the soil and stay in the soil for more than nine years, then break through the ground in the tenth year and continue to reproduce! Rheinland explained.

"They have been in the dark soil for nine years, and finally broke through the ground and soared into the sky, but they desperately flew into the fire, do you think this is stupid?" In fact, Rhine actually said that the silver moth wanted to ask this question.

"......" Harrester was stumped and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Do you even need to think about it? Of course not stupid! The third person finally couldn't help it and interjected.

"I'll ...... When did you touch it......" Harrester looked at La Niña who suddenly appeared beside him.

"It doesn't matter when I touched it! The important thing is the silver moth! La Niña held out her index finger and shook it, trying to bring the conversation to the moth. Let me tell you, the reason why the silver moth touched the flames so desperately was because they had been in the darkness for nine years! It is that dark life that makes them love the light so much! ”

La Nina paused, organized her words, and said, "Actually, the silver moth is an admirable creature, because nine years of darkness have not brought it to its knees. ”

This sentence of La Niña is the answer that Rhine wants!

How many of the creatures in this world can live in an environment that is completely contrary to their ideals for most of their lives and still maintain their original intentions? For this, the demons outside the gate can't do it, and the humans can't do it.

"So numbness and habit are not necessarily a good thing, maybe these two things can keep you safe, but you will also be mediocre forever because of it." Harrest refuses to go with the flow, to be numb, to get used to the world. The same goes for the Rheinland!

There was a cold wind on the rooftop, and it seemed that it was not too early, and if La Niña was there, Rhine and Hallrest would not have had much chance to tell those secrets.

So the three of them blew the wind for a while and went downstairs to rest.
