The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 117 Crystal disease

Roy raised her face so that Zell could look at her.

Zell knew that the two of them still had to sit down and have a good talk, so he sat on the edge of the bed and slowly moved his gaze to her face.

Immediately, she was stung by the gauze on her left eye.

"your eyes……"

"Can't keep it."

He stretched out his hand to Roy's face, rubbing his trembling fingers against his cheekbones, but he never dared to remove even a corner of the gauze.

Under the gauze, there was once a jewel-like eye, but now it has been lost forever.

Roy looked down at the Poro in her hand.

The depression and heavy mood of the two had already affected Xiao Hei. He was no longer as excited as when he first met. He just stood on his hands and looked at her, put his tongue in his mouth, the fluff around his mouth kept trembling, and one front foot Lift it up with nowhere to put it.

Zell looked at her with twinkling eyes, and let out a giggle that represented the indifference he feigned in his saddest, most disturbed, and most painful moments.

But a second before the sound was revealed, Roy put Zell's hand down, bent his fingers, and stuffed his own hand in.Just hooked together, and comforted him in turn.

After being silent for a long time, Roy squeezed out a smile.

"Help me choose a prosthetic eye. I haven't been able to make up my mind which one to choose. It just so happens that you are here."

As she spoke, she looked at the metal box on the bedside table. Under the transparent cover, there were several prosthetic eyes neatly stacked.But Zell's attention was on the Clockwork Poro next to her, and the scenes of her staring at the Clockwork Poro in a daze for several days and nights had already appeared in her mind.

"I don't want to see a parody fake eye replace yours. It's too cruel. You have beautiful eyes. Roy, let's... let's talk about other things. Like the curse you said, You know I never believed that."

Roy turned her eyes back to him: "I still remember that you told me about cursing the doll, and you said it swearingly."

"That's different. Those who are cursed are bad people. You haven't done anything, so how can you be cursed like this?"

Zell didn't believe that Roy was cursed, because the curse could be lifted, and the invalidation of the purification technique had already ruled out this possibility.

What he saw that day made him realize that things were not that simple.It's just that he doesn't understand why she clearly knows that she has a problem, but she never solves it.

"Why didn't you go for treatment earlier? You clearly knew something was wrong with your eyes."

Hearing this, she smiled, and said without regret at all: "If I had done this, I wouldn't have walked into your shop in the first place."

In fact, after the curse manifests, the cursed person will receive the pity of the family, and will no longer need to participate in training and perform tasks until the final decision is made.

Roy knew very well that early treatment would not save her eyes, and it would end that period of freedom early.

She longed for an unfettered life, so she procrastinated until the deadline.She has a variety of prosthetic eyes to choose from, but she doesn't even have the right to choose her life. This is the tragedy of being born in this family.

Looking into his cloudy eyes, Roy finally couldn't bear to keep it from him, even if it was a family secret.

"The cursed one is actually my family, the Philos family."

"As early as more than 100 years ago, my ancestors brought back a crystal from the desert, and at the same time opened a new era. While these magic crystals brought huge wealth to Philos, they are also buried in our blood. A curse that cannot be eradicated. When we find ourselves inseparable from the crystal, the power of this curse begins to show."

"Beginning a few generations ago, children born with the blood of Philos often became weak and sickly, and died very easily. Many of them did not survive to adulthood. Later, through autopsies on the dead, we found that most of the corpses had a This kind of strange crystal, the reason for the formation of this crystal has nothing to do with the diet and living environment, it only appears in the Philos bloodline."

"Crystals can be generated in a certain place in our body, and its growth can be inhibited by external application or internal medicine, but there will always be a day when it erupts. Crystals cannot be removed by surgery, as long as the part where the crystals are generated is not replaced with a prosthetic body. structure, it will continue to form in the same place, and cannot be completely cured. All of the above give us reason to believe that the Philos family is cursed by the crystal, otherwise how can we explain all this?"

Zell listened carefully to every word, and then fell into tangled thoughts.

"This... sounds like some kind of genetic disease, a crystallization disease caused by magic crystals."

"Whether it's a genetic disease or a curse, all it brings us is pain." Roy's face was frustrated with helplessness, while Zell was immersed in his own thoughts.

He knew that the crystal that Philos obtained back then was the original crystal, and what even Philos didn't know was that this kind of crystal often contained a part of a truly ancient consciousness.

Perhaps it was Philos' actions that angered the conscious body that existed in it, and this was why he used magic to affect his body for a long time.If one can talk to this ancient consciousness, perhaps this curse can be lifted.

Suddenly, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

He knew what this meant, the wild intuition was using his body to sound the alarm, and he was being targeted.

Zell has learned to trust this intuition, so he comforted Roy and at the same time slightly increased the volume: "Although I can't heal your eyes, I may be able to help you understand the nature of this curse, and maybe you can Lift it."

Roy stared at him blankly with the remaining one eye, and asked in a joking tone, "Are you comforting me?"

Regarding this, Zell said noncommittally: "Can you give me one of your prosthetic eyes?"

"What are you going to do with it?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Zell deliberately kept it a secret, and took away one of the prosthetic eyes without waiting for her objection.Roy froze for a moment, then remembered that Zell had said the same thing that day, and it had indeed brought a huge surprise to her life afterwards.

She thought about it seriously, and said, "I'll go to the store to have a look in a few days."

Zell, who just felt threatened, didn't notice the determination in her words: "Okay, you are always welcome at the Poro Cafe."

After saying goodbye to Roy, Zell took Xiao Hei and slipped out of the manor through the old way.

At some point, the sense of crisis that made hair stand on end disappeared silently.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that what he said should have worked.

After calming down, Zell, who got the prosthetic eye, did not go back to the coffee shop directly, but walked into a gem workshop.
