In the secret training ground of Saint dawn college.

  Elin is quietly facing a stake that is a bit higher than him and can be surrounded by two people.

  On this wooden stake, there are tight ropes wrapped around, like a thick layer of armor.

  Erin looked at the huge stake with the eyes of the enemy.

  "Shua!"

  Suddenly, his body was empty, and his left hand was pressed against the huge wooden stake. The whole left hand was covered with an astonishing number of skill particles, like a bright purple sun rising on his hand.

  A mass of white ice about the same size as the giant wooden stake suddenly appeared between his left hand and the giant wooden stake. At the moment of collision with the giant wooden stake, the thick rope wrapped around the giant wooden stake was all blown up, and a piece of it splashed out.

  When the whole huge stake is pulled out of the ground, it will fly backwards.

  But at that moment, Erin also made a terrible sound like hundreds of ropes breaking at the same time.

  This kind of sound was entirely caused by the air outside him!

  At that moment, his whole body gave all the muscles in the human body and the power in every small molecule a completely incisive feeling of terror explosion, as if his whole body were going to explode.

  His right fist, with the explosive force of mountain torrents, hit the white giant ice in front of him with a fierce blow.

  "Click, click..."

  The white giant ice is like a living object. The force erupts again, and the whole piece is deformed. The ice edges are sputtered forward. The original white ice blocks close to the square form a long and narrow shape, completely like a huge ice crown lying flat!

  "Ha!"

  The huge wooden piles that had been lifted from the ground were smashed by the force that erupted again in this moment. Countless pieces of broken wood were frozen by the white ice and snow, and then splashed out, scattering tens of meters behind.

  Erin's face was dull.

  After a few seconds of stagnation, he jumped up and jumped six or seven meters.

  "How awesome!"

  "I've succeeded! I've finally succeeded. I've successfully played the double strike effect of physical strength and magic power!"

  "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!..."

  ……

  Kate walks out from the shade not far behind Erin and looks at Erin, who is jumping and screaming with excitement. He can't help shaking his head. He thinks that Erin is really more and more frightening.

  "How about it, Miss Kate? Have you seen it? I have succeeded. I can use the 'ice crown'

  "Yes."

  Looking at Erin jumping in front of her, Kate gave a long breath and said: "you are ten days faster than I expected. In this case, you can rest for two days and then start strength training."

  "Two days off?"

  Elin looked at Kate with some incomprehension: "but there are still ten days to go before the competition with the aegis shield Academy. My mental strength has not reached the level of being able to condense the skills. Don't you continue to refuel and train?"

  "Believe my judgment, I will arrange the most appropriate rest or practice for you according to your physical and mental conditions." Kate explained gently and patiently: "You can rest for two days first, and then train according to my requirements. The effect will be better than that of ten days of continuous hard training. Your physical and mental strength are already under excessive pressure. Strengthening training will do more harm than good to your body. After proper relaxation, when your body and spirit are relaxed, you can give a strong stimulus. This will make progress faster. Tension, relaxation, tension... Cultivation must follow this rhythm, and you must also Figure out the best rhythm for yourself. In addition, I will control the time when you condense the skill particles. Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning? "

  "Believe you, you will lead me to win one victory after another!" Erin smiled. "I see, Miss Kate, I will do as you say."

  "Go ahead and relax."

  ……

  "Miss Kate! Miss Kate!"

  Not long after seeing Irene leave, Kate just walked out of the secret training ground, and saw Irene running back towards the secret training ground.

  "What's the matter?" He couldn't help being a little stupefied.

  "Is Chris's home in St. Lauren?" Elin looked at him and asked, "I have just been to the thinker's stone forest, and she is not there. Then I heard two of her classmates say that Chris has gone home. Teacher, you are in charge of registration. You must know where her home is in St. Lauren."

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  "Are you going to find her?" Kate was stunned.

  "Yes." AI Lin scratched her head with embarrassment. "I don't know what to do after rest. I came to see her practice. I didn't expect that she was not here either."

  Kate hesitated a little, but still said: "if I remember correctly, her home should be in welling District, that is, near the foot of the mountain in the south of St. Lauren. There are many small thrift shops and antique shops. If you want to find her, you can first find a shop specializing in repairing leather boots. Her home is near that shop. Ask and you should find it."

  It took a long time for Erin to find the shoe repair shop that Kate mentioned.

  This is a small shop whose walls and shelves are covered with black or brown shoe polish. At the door, there are several dirty children with bare bottoms playing games. There are no signs.

  Welling is a slum for the whole city of St. Lauren.

  Like most of the cities in the Archie Kingdom, the higher up you go, the more rich people and big families gather. On the contrary, the lower the foot of the mountain, the more low-level craftsmen, failed businessmen, frustrated artists and craftsmen gather.

  For 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 face a foul smelling sewage river when they go out.

  However, as for the rich family area and the poor area, Aylin has not many intuitive concepts. After all, the town of kololin where he used to live is much poorer and more desolate than the poor area of St. Lauren. Therefore, even in welling, he feels that there are many interesting shops and life seems very convenient.

  "Uncle, do you know where Chris's house is?"

  "It's the one on the edge, the one near the bridge."

  "Thank you, uncle!"

  Listening to the instructions of the owner of the shoe repair shop, Erin quickly identified which house Chris's was.

  There is a dry ditch that seems to be used for pouring rain water, which divides the whole Weiling District into two. It is not rainy season now. The two meter wide ditch is full of weeds with a height of more than one person, and only some 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 the 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 sites in front of and behind the stone houses. Some are clean and some are planted with things, but there are no walls.

  Now the door of Chris's house on the edge is open, but there is no one on the flat stone ground in front.

  Elin excitedly ran to the end of the street and ran up the stone steps in three steps. On the flat stone ground, he saw that Chris's house was very simple, only some simple furniture was placed, and the back door facing the front door was also open. He immediately saw a small figure helping a man with gray hair to wash his hair.

  "Chris."

  He saw at a glance that it was Chris who was seriously helping the gray haired man wash his hair.

  "Erin? Why are you here?" Chris, who immediately recognized Erin's voice, turned around in surprise.

  At the same time, the man with his hands on the edge of the basin suddenly raised his head and turned around. As a result, all the water on his hair flowed to his body, and most of his clothes were immediately wet.

  "Erin... Hehe... Chris... Champion..."

  "National champion..."

  While turning his head to look at Erin, the man also smiled stupidly, and kept repeating a few vague words.

  Erin 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 Chris, and his eyes were fixed. Although he seemed to be smiling at him, the vague words in his mouth seemed to be only for himself and Chris.

  "Look at you. I let you keep your head down, but you don't listen to me anymore."

  Chris took a dry towel in a reproachful manner, rubbed his hair, wiped the water stains on his body, and then stuck out her tongue at Elin, asking Elin to wait for her for a while.

  But the gray haired man who looks like her is always happy and giggles, and then mumbles and repeats some simple words.

  "Chris... Champion... National champion..."

  In these vague voices, it seemed that she was taking care of his Chris like a child, but Erin's nose was aching involuntarily.

  "You should be good first... My friend in the college came. I'll talk to him first."

  After drying the man's hair and shaving some fruit, Chris waved to Elin and asked her to follow her to a vacant lot on the hillside not far away.

  "Is he your father?" Eating the two pieces of fruit that Chris put into the water, Elin, who sat down beside Chris, asked with a heavy voice.

  "Yes." Chris also ate a piece of fruit and looked at the small stone bridge under the slope in front of her.

  "Then he..." AI Lin turned to look at the man in the open space behind the house not far below, and hesitated to ask.

  "You should have seen it." Chris put the fruit in her hand into her mouth at one time, and then her childish hands rubbed each other as if they could be wiped clean, "It's normal for him to come... Seven years ago, a caravan in St. Lauren city was attacked by a rogue craftsman team near the Red Pine Valley. My parents were protecting the caravan's craftsman team. My mother died in the war, and my father was injured too badly. He woke up after a long coma... Then he became like this. There are no problems in his daily life. My mother used to wash his hair, so if I don't wash his hair, He just won't wash his hair. "

  Erin suddenly felt that the sweet fruit in her mouth became dry. He looked at Chris's side face.

  Although Chris spoke simply and plainly, and her expression had not changed, he could also see that Chris was strong, and had been able to bear and get used to all this. But his mood could not be as calm as Chris.

  "Did the rogue magician team catch him later?"

  "Got it."

  "Then why does your father always say that he is a champion, a national champion?" Elin looked at Chris's face. He could not imagine what had happened to her at that time. He could not help stumbling and then asked, "this... This... This... Is the reason why you... You have always said that you want to win the national championship?"

  "Yes." Chris looked up at the sky, Said forcefully: "Because my father and mother were members of two college teams. Although their strength was not so strong, and their college team was just an ordinary college team, they met each other while watching the championship... That should be the deepest picture in my father's mind. He might want to see my mother again in the final... Or maybe he and my mother especially wanted to win the championship in those years Jun, maybe he thinks I'm better than him and my mother... Now he doesn't remember anything, only knows me, but he seems to want to see me win the championship, so I must try. "

  Is it because that arena and this game are of special significance to him and are the deepest memories in his mind?

  Perhaps there is the most beautiful picture in his life

  Or is the final trophy the hottest thing in his mind?

  Or does he think he can meet his lost wife again there?

  Or the root is meaningless, just some fragments of consciousness, or he doesn't know why he wants to see Chris become a national champion.

  But this is Chris's dream.

  This is the real reason why Chris practices harder than anyone else and is regarded by others as a neurotic girl.

  Elin looked at the man who was eating fruit quietly and looked at Chris's beautiful side face. He felt that his dream had more meaning.
