Chapter Twenty-Four: Beautiful but Deadly

Suddenly, Chen Shiyu's face darkened for no reason, with a trace of sadness in her eyebrows, as if she recalled something unbearable to look back on: "The fragrance in the eternal night, like the temptation of the soul, the blood in the petals, like the sorrow of tears, in the light, it is the glamorous red in the sun, in the darkness, it is the poisonous black in the gloom, beautiful but deadly......" Her singing voice is melodious and tactful, but it is like a thin veil covering people's hearts, feeling extremely depressed, but powerless to resist. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a familiar melody of Salt, a well-known ballad on the continent of Caramilan - "The Death of the Poppies".

Finally, Chen Shiyu's singing stopped, but Salter still felt that he couldn't help himself for a long time, naturally, Chen Shiyu was not the best he had ever heard, but at this moment, Salter had never felt so sad. Whether it was because of the emotion on Chen Shiyu's expression, or because of pity for the poppies in the song, Salter didn't even know the reason for the depression in his heart.

After a while, Salter finally spoke.

"Is this 'The Death of the Poppies' created for you? So, the source of your magic is the poisonous flower, the poppy?"

Salter knew exactly what such a magical source meant in those days. The earth is shrouded in endless darkness, fear dominates the hearts of human beings, and all kinds of negative attributes have become existences that are not shared with human beings, killing and being killed, not only between humans and monsters, but also between humans and humans. Ignorant people believe that the god of light will help the common people, and that there should be no haze in the world, so the mages with negative attributes are slaughtered in all directions, and almost all of them are spared.

And Chen Shiyu, who has such a magical origin, has ironically become a hero who saves the world, needless to say, there must be no less sadness and pain behind her, right?

Salter stood stunned, staring at Chen Shiyu blankly, as if waiting for an answer, even though he knew it wouldn't make much sense.

Chen Shiyu smiled, as if he didn't understand Salt's intentions, and walked straight forward.

The next day, when the rising sun had just cast its golden glow on the earth, Salter in the courtyard was already sweating profusely, and it was not until his hands holding the wooden sword began to tremble that Salter sat down on the ground to rest for a while.

"Good work. ”

The door of the house suddenly opened, Chen Shi walked out with two bowls, Salte saw this, subconsciously swallowed saliva, until Chen Shiyu got closer, he saw that these were two bowls of noodles.

"Eat some, don't worry, I cooked it according to the steps you taught me. Chen Shiyu seemed to see Salter's hesitation and said with a smile.

"Thank you. ”

The noodles have been boiling for a bit longer, and they will be pinched with a little force, and the salt is a little too much, and it will inevitably feel a little salty when you eat it, but despite this, when Salter eats the first bite of noodles, his heart twitches.

"Isn't that done? Food that people can eat......

Chen Shiyu watched with relief as Salter devoured the food he had made, and suddenly asked, "What will I do in the future?"

"What to do?" Salter took the last sip of noodle soup and looked at Chen Shiyu suspiciously.

"After going to school, we don't have time to work outside anymore, and with the money we have left, it will be very difficult to survive even the next month, and not only that, but we also have a debt to pay for tuition, haven't you thought about these things?"

Salter smiled, "Sister Shiyu, when did you become more worried about money than I am? Yes, we are in a very dangerous situation now, Raphael Witch is not here, the director of education is unreliable, everything has to rely on us, but don't forget, what is the purpose of this school? Strength determines everything! So, even if there is no help from others, even if I don't have the time to work outside, I will definitely redouble my efforts in the future to win status and money in the school." ”

"Really?"

Salter nodded affirmatively, "Sister Shiyu, do you believe me?"

The corners of Chen Shiyu's mouth rose slightly, and then he turned away, "I can only believe it." ”

The results of the class assignment have come out, Salter was assigned to class A of the fire department, and Chen Shiyu was assigned to class B of the auxiliary department, because the classrooms were not in the same teaching building, Salter was separated from Chen Shiyu first, according to the prompts on the billboard, he finally found his own class, and found a back position to sit quietly.

Salter arrived relatively late, almost all the classmates arrived, and since there was no familiar person, Salter just sat in his position motionless.

"Morse Graca!"

"Here!"

The person in front of him should be the homeroom teacher of Salter's class, but he has not yet introduced himself, and he has already begun to name names, so he has left the first impression of "arrogant" in the hearts of most students.

"Salter Fissy!"

"Here!"

Seeing that two-thirds of the names in the class had already been called, Salter couldn't help but wonder if this guy sitting in front of him was still here?

"Elucie Dokaberg!" the dark-skinned homeroom teacher finished reading the name, but no one in the audience responded.

"Elucie Dokaberg!" the head teacher pronounced the name again.

However, the answer to it is still a slight rumor.

The head teacher was about to sign the absence, but a cold female voice came from the door of the class, "Please wait a minute." ”

Everyone naturally focused their eyes on it, and when they saw the student, they couldn't help but be a little shocked in their hearts.

With long black hair, blood-colored eyes, and skin as clean as white porcelain, Salter never expected that the girl who caused a storm in the hall yesterday because of the origin of magic would actually be his classmate?

The head teacher glanced at her, motioned for Elucie to come in, and said, "Today is the first time and the last time you are late, do you understand?"

Elucie nodded, and the head teacher's words were just to say that she had used up the opportunity to make mistakes in her own place.

The eyes of the class were fixed on her, and they didn't dare make a sound, until she sat down in front of Salter in a playful way, and most of them breathed a sigh of relief, but the people sitting around her didn't look so relaxed, especially the freckled red-haired boy in the front row of her, who looked like he had eaten a piece of moldy bread.
