Crown of Silence

"The Crown of Silence" is a dark western fantasy novel. In this courtyard, there is no bright victory, only who is taken away by the wall first and who survives for a few more days. The Crown of Silence is the most prestigious magical academy in the mainland. The steeple penetrated the gray fog that lingered all year round, and the admissions officers visited every small town to select those children with "good cores". Students privately call it black thorn vine - once the vine becomes entangled, it cannot be let go. There are three rules in the courtyard, written in black and white, and no one can circumvent them. The first one is called the grade transfer order: senior students can be transferred to lower grades. What they go to do is never specified. When they come back, something is often missing, sometimes there are missing fingers, sometimes missing names. The second game is called the final game: a draw is made at the end of each semester, the winners stay, and the losers go to the wall. The third path is the quietest, called the Silence Contract: On the first day of enrollment, you press your fingerprint on the roster. From then on, everything you say and think will be recorded by the wall, recorded and wiped for you. Kane Ashwall was not recruited. He took the place of the dead Verlaine, took off the child's silver crown and put it on his own head, borrowing someone else's face in exchange for a different one. Half for living, half for Lila - his sister was regarded by her husband as having a "good heart". Within half a month, her fingertips turned gray, and finally the gray crawled over her shoulders, and her hands were still stretched out, as if she wanted to reach him. Lila held his hand before she died: "Brother, go in for me and see what the gentleman is interested in." Kane enters the courtyard with Ash Eclipse. The curse started from his fingertips, leaving a gray mark on everything he touched, and eating away at his memory bit by bit. He also has a skill called "Echo" - he can hear the memories left by the dead, like listening to the ground against the wall.
