Chapter 65 The Weight of Dreams
In the secret training ground of Holy Dawn College.
Ai Lin quietly faced a stake that was one piece higher than him so that the two of them could be surrounded.
On this wooden pile, there are circles of tight ropes, as if wrapped in a thick layer of armor.
Ai Lin looked at the huge wooden stake with the eyes of the enemy.
"Wh!"
Suddenly, his body broke through, and his left hand pressed on the giant wooden pile. His whole left hand was full of an amazing number of magic particles, as if a bright purple-red sun rose on his hand.
A mass of white ice about the size of this giant pile suddenly appeared between his left hand and the giant pile. At the moment of colliding with the giant pile, all the thick ropes wrapped around the outside of the giant pile burst and splashed out.
The whole giant stake is pulled out of the ground and will fly backwards.
But at this moment, Ailin's body also made a horrible sound like hundreds of thousands of ropes cracking at the same time.
This sound is completely caused by the huge vibration of the air outside him!
At this moment, his whole person gave all the muscles in his body, and the power in every small molecule had a completely incisive feeling of terror, as if his whole body was about to explode.
His right fist, with the explosive power of this mountain torrent, hit the white giant ice in front of him with a fierce punch.
"Crake..."
The white giant ice is like a living object. The power exploded again, and the whole block was deformed. The ice edges sputtered forward. The white ice, which was originally close to the square, formed a long and narrow shape that splashed forward, completely like a huge ice and snow crown placed flat!
"Kka!"
The huge piles that had risen from the ground were shattered by the power of another explosion at this moment. Countless broken woods were frozen by a mass of white ice and snow, splashing back, spilling dozens of meters behind everywhere.
Ai Lin's face was dull.
After stagnated for a few seconds, he jumped up and jumped six or seven meters high.
"It's awesome!"
"It worked! I finally succeeded and successfully exerted the effect of physical strength and magic!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! ....”
......
Kate came out of the shade of the tree not far behind Erin. Looking at Erin, who was so excited, he couldn't help shaking his head and felt that Erin was getting more and more terrible.
"How's it going, Mr. Kate, have you seen it? I've succeeded. I've already been able to use the 'Icy Crown'!"
"I see it."
Looking at Erin, who jumped in front of her, Kate took a long breath and said, "You are ten days faster than I expected. In this case, you can take two days off, and then start doing strength training with all your strength.
"Two days off?"
Ai Lin looked at Kate incomprehensible: "But there are still ten days to compete with Aegis College. My spiritual strength has not reached the level of condensation... Don't you continue to train hard?"
"Believe in my judgment, I will arrange the most appropriate rest or exercise for you according to your physical and mental condition." Kate explained gently and patiently, "You take a two-day break, and then train according to my requirements. The effect will be better than ten days of hard work. Your physical and mental strength is now under excessive pressure. More training is more harmful than good for your body. After proper relaxation, when you relax physically and mentally, and then give a strong stimulus, you will make faster progress. Nervousness, relaxation, nervousness... Practice must follow this rhythm, and you must figure out the most suitable rhythm for you. In addition, I will control the time when you condense the capsule. Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning?
"Believe you, you will take me to win one victory after another!" Erin laughed and said, "I know, Mr. Kate. I'll do what you say."
"Go ahead and relax."
......
"Teacher Kate! Teacher Kate!"
Shortly after watching Ai Lin leave, Kate just walked out of the secret training ground and saw the hot Erin running back to the secret training ground.
"What's the matter?" He couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Is Clys's home here in St. Lauren?" Ai Lin looked at him and asked, "I just went to Shilin, the thinker. She was not there, and then I listened to the practice there. Two of her classmates said that Alice went home. Teacher, you are responsible for registration. You must know where her home is in St. Lawrence, right?
"Are you going to find her?" Kate was stunned.
"Yes." Ai Lin scratched her head with embarrassment. "I don't know what to do when I rest. I wanted to see her practice, but I didn't expect her to be there either."
Kate hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If I remember correctly, her home should be in the Welling District, near the foot of the mountain south of St. Lauren, where there are many small thrift stores and antique shops. If you want to find her, you can find a shop specializing in repairing leather boots first. Her house is near that store. You should be able to find it if you ask.
It took Elin half a day to find the shoe repair shop Kate mentioned.
This is a small shop where the walls and shelves are covered with black or brown shoe polish. There are a few dirty children with bare buttocks playing games at the door, and there is no signboard.
The Welling District is a slum in the whole city of St. Laurent.
Like most of the cities in the Kingdom of Aiqi, the higher it is, the more it is a gathering place for the rich and big families. On the contrary, the lower the foot of the mountain, the more low-level craftsmen, failed businessmen, frustrated artists and magicians gather.
To take the simplest example, the sewage pipes in the city are arranged from top to bottom. Every day, a large amount of sewage flows to the foot of the mountain. People in some areas may have to face a stinky sewage river when they go out.
However, Erin doesn't have many intuitive ideas about rich family areas and slums. After all, the town he used to live in is far poorer and more desolate than the slums of St. Lawrence, so even in Welling District, he feels that there are many interesting shops, and life seems to be very convenient.
"Uncle, do you know where cle's house is?"
"It's the one at the far end, the one closest to the bridge."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Listening to the advice of the owner of the shoe repair shop, Elin quickly figured out which one was the home of Kris.
There is a dry ditch that seems to be used to pour rainwater, which separates the whole Weiling District in two. Now it is not the rainy season. This two-meter-wide ditch is full of weeds more than one person high, and only some relatively large oval stones are exposed. There is an old stone bridge that can accommodate a carriage across the middle of the ditch.
Not far from this old stone bridge, there is a stone path leading to a row of stone bungalows about two or three meters higher than the old stone bridge.
There are spaces in the front and back of those stone houses. Some are very clean, and some are planted, but there are no walls.
Now the door of the most edge of chris's house is open, but there is no one on the flat stone field in front of her.
Ai Lin ran excitedly to the end of the street and ran up the stone steps in three steps. On the flat stone field, he saw that Clys's house was very simple, just some of the simplest furniture, and the back door facing the front door was also open. He immediately saw a petite figure helping a gray hair. The man is washing his hair.
"Cris."
He saw at a glance that the person who seriously helped the gray-haired man wash his hair was Alice.
"Ilin? Why are you here?" Julia, who heard Erin's voice, turned her head in surprise.
At the same time, the man who was holding the edge of the basin with his hands suddenly raised his head and turned around. As a result, all the water in his hair flowed to his body, and most of his upper body clothes suddenly became wet.
"Elin...hehe...Cris...Champion..."
"National Competition Champion..."
While turning his head to look at Ai Lin, the man also smiled stupidly and kept repeating a few vague words.
Ai Lin was stunned.
He saw that the man's face was a little old and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, but his face was very similar to that of Alice, and his eyes were a little fixed. Although he seemed to be smiling at him, the vague words in his mouth seemed to be just for himself and to listen to him.
"Look at you, let you lower your head obediently, and you are disobedient and raise it."
Cris took a dry towel, rubbed his hair, wiped the water stains on his body, and then stuck out her tongue at Erin and asked Erin to wait for her for a while.
The gray-haired man who looks a little like her has been giggling happily, and then keeps muttering and repeating some simple words.
"Cris... Champion...National Competition Champion..."
In these ambiguous voices, she looked like taking care of a child and took care of him very much, but Erin's nose involuntarily became sore.
"You be good first... My friend from the college is here, and I'll talk to him first."
After helping the man dry his hair and cut some fruit, Cries waved to Erin, making Erin jump up to an open space on the hillside not far away.
"Is he your father?" Eating two pieces of fruit stuffed into the water by Alice, Erin, who sat next to her, asked heavily.
"Yes." Cries also ate a piece of fruit and looked at the small stone bridge down the slope in front of her.
"Then he...?" Ai Lin turned his head and looked at the man on the vacant lot not far below. He wanted to ask, but he hesitated again.
"You should also see it." Kryce stuffed the fruit in her hand into her mouth at one time, and then wiped her childish hands against each other, as if it could be wiped clean. "He was normal... Seven years ago, a caravan in St. Lawrence was attacked by a team of thieves near Red Pine Valley. My parents both protected the magician team of the caravan. My mother died in the battle, and my father was too seriously injured. He was in a coma for a long time before he woke up... Later, he became like this. There was no problem with his daily life, that is, my mother used to wash his hair, so if I didn't wash his hair, he would not wash his hair. . "
Alin suddenly felt that the sweet fruit in his mouth had become dry. He looked at Kless's side face.
Although Kless said it simply and plainly, and her expression has not changed, he can also see that Kless is strong, and she has been able to bear and get used to all this. But he couldn't calm down like Alice.
"Did the team of thieves catch it later?"
"I got it."
"Then why does your father... keep saying that he is the champion, the champion of the national competition?" Ilin looked at Alice's face. He couldn't imagine what had happened to her at that time. He couldn't help stabbing and then asked, "This...this...is that's why you...do you keep saying you want to win the national championship?"
"Yes." Lindsay looked up at the sky and said forceful, "Because my father and mother were also members of two college teams. Although they are not so strong, and their college team is just an ordinary college team, they know each other in the championship watching the championship... That should be my father's mind. The most profound picture in it is that he may want to see my mother again in the finals... Maybe he and my mother also wanted to win the championship in those years. Maybe he thinks I am better than him and my mother... Now he doesn't remember anything but only knows me, but he seems to want to see me win the championship. So I must try it."
Because that field and this game are of special significance to him, and is it the deepest memory in his mind?
Maybe there is the most beautiful picture of his life?
Or the final trophy is the hottest thing in his mind?
Or does he think he can reunite with his lost wife there?
Or it doesn't make sense at all, it's just a fragment of consciousness, or he doesn't know why he wants to see Alice become the champion of the national competition.
But this is Kris's dream.
This is the real reason why Kryce practices harder than anyone else and is a psychopathic girl in the eyes of others.
Ai Lin looked at the man who was quietly eating fruit and looked at the beautiful side face of Kless. He felt that his dream was more meaningful.
