Later, Leonard raised his spear on a starless and moonless night and charged at the windmill standing in the field. From then on, rumors of bigots will always be circulated among the countryside of Grindelwald, about the father's pain and suffering.
The persistence was torn into pieces by the night wind and disappeared without a trace; later, when Xino learned that the irresponsible man had once again abandoned his family and left alone, he found that he was not as sad as he imagined.
It can even be described as indifferent. She once suspected that she had lost her feelings for her relatives. It was not until she presided over her father's funeral and comforted her grief-stricken grandfather that she returned to her room and discovered that the girl in the mirror had disappeared.
Tears streamed down her face; later, the girl seemed to have emerged from the gloom and regained her former cheerfulness and optimism. She began to accept her grandfather's arrangements for her, actively learned riding and martial arts, and longed to inherit the mission and glory of the Goldstaff family; she still loved
As for the sport of Feng Hua Qiu, she chose to do what she liked as her father said, but she suddenly realized that she could not love it as much as her mother; she would tell every manor servant, town resident and even college classmate
He smiles and says hello, and can't fault anything in his treatment of others. People can't help but be surprised that the eldest lady from the past is finally back. However, only the person involved understands that some people and things can never go back.
The fathers and sons of the Goldstaff family always seem to be engaged in an endless struggle. Time and fate once overwhelmed them, and then they were forgotten after their loved ones passed away one after another. They never thought they had won.
They, or were defeated by them.
Today, standing in front of his parents' tombstones again, Xino can finally face those heavy memories calmly, and sighs: "There are always many failed people in the world, and it seems that my father is one of them."
."
I once thought about being a good son, but always went against my father's expectations. I gradually lost confidence in the quarrels day after day, and finally chose to run away from home, using escape as an answer. I once thought about being a qualified husband.
, but turned around and left when his wife needed him most, leaving the vow of love in the dust, and he has lost news of her forever. He once thought about fulfilling his responsibilities as a father, but failed to set a good example for his daughter, time and time again.
He hurt her and made her live alone for so long; even the family mission he wanted to undertake was so weak and weak. His self-sacrifice failed to completely eliminate the threat of the beast, but only extended its seal for several years...
At this point in life, love, family affection, responsibility, and the distant and illusory family mission have all achieved nothing. People like this are naturally failures, right?
"But now, I suddenly understand a little bit."
Xino said softly: "Whether it is my father's choice or my mother's forgiveness, I think they all have their own reasons. In the past, I was too immature and never had the courage to face reality, so I was confused by them and fell into
Fear and sadness. Only today did I realize that there are not so many things worth hesitating in life. Many times, we are born to live in response to expectations."
"So, I will try to respond to those expectations, even if I need to face cruel sacrifices, after all-"
She lowered her head and looked at the name on the tombstone, and chuckled: "Only those who are enlightened are qualified to stand on the glorious field and compete for victory. This is what you told me, mother."
She once forgot and lost those courage and determination, and she only recalled it today.
Maybe it was because of her experience in the city today that she was deeply touched.
She is by no means the only one who is saddened by Claire's incident, but those people have already stepped out of the shadows and begun to move towards a new life, just like Layla is working hard for her dream of a professional player. Is she the only one who has to spend her whole life?
Living in this shadow, don't you dare to respond to other people's expectations?
The girl felt that she might not be that fragile yet.
She stood up, gently patted the dust off her clothes, and smiled at the tombstone next to her: "That's it, father, mother, it's time for me to go. Since I have made up my mind, I have to make preparations early.
Okay. I will come to visit you again after the matter is over."
"Please believe that your daughter has grown up."
"No one needs to worry about her anymore."
The girl waved goodbye to them, then walked out of the cemetery, her figure gradually disappearing at the end of the gray-white road. At this time, a gust of wind blew over, making the surrounding leaves rustle, and the soft sound was like
Who was responding? Xino had a premonition of something and looked back suddenly, but she saw nothing, only the rustling wind and the tiny rays of sunlight passing through the mottled silhouettes.
Xino stood there for a while, suddenly smiled, and then she turned and left. This time she really left and never looked back.
…
Time just goes by quietly and unconsciously.
On July 25, 1856, the open selection phase of the 31st Yamit Cup Wind Flower Competition Championship officially opened. More than 30,000 wind flower enthusiasts from all over the world signed up for this cup. They will compete in
A total of 151 stadiums in the urban and suburban areas of Sumia compete with each other for four precious places to enter the main draw.
Due to the large number of applicants and limited time, in order not to delay the main competition, the competition system of this year's selection competition adopts a three-game, two-win single-elimination competition system that is different from the regular competition, that is, the first to win two of the three games.
The player will win the game, and the loser will be eliminated directly without the chance to participate in the loser group.
Although the rules are simple, they are undoubtedly more exciting. According to authoritative media predictions, at least one-tenth of the contestants will be eliminated on the first day of the selection competition, which shows how cruel it is.
Unfortunately, Alice's game was scheduled on the first day. The game was played at the Rogliem Stadium in the small town of Isolde on the outskirts of the city. That stadium was different from the professional stadium in Cleveland Forest Park. In terms of grade,
It was only an amateur level, and the number of spectators it could accommodate was no more than 1,500. This made the talented players quite dissatisfied, and they thought several times about how their debut could be in such a remote place, at least it should be in Sumia City.
Memorial Stadium of the Republic in Plaza de la République in May?
However, everyone thought that it would be good for a person who forged an amateur certificate to play in competitions, and they were picky about the golf course. They really had no idea at all and didn't want to care about her.
The small town of Isolde is about three hours' drive from Chateau Manor. As early as the day when the race schedule was confirmed, Ringer had made an agreement with Xino to borrow her family's carriage to take Alice to the race, and borrowed it as many times as possible.
It depends on how far the talented player can go in the game. Ringer naturally hopes that this guy will be eliminated in the first round. After all, in order to create her own popular personality, she shamelessly kidnapped everyone's free time.
Forcing everyone to go to the game to cheer for her. If they dare not go, she will roll on the ground and act like a fool.
Everyone was really afraid of this move, so except for Ieta who was unwilling to leave Cloud Whale Sky Island, everyone involuntarily joined the suspicious organization "Alice Support Club" she established, including the members of the Fairy Sleep Inn
The three sisters are no exception. Among them, Lin Ge was designated as the president, and Luo LeNa was the vice president. The reason is that these two people made outstanding contributions to her participation in the competition. As for what kind of contributions they made, you will be appointed as the president.
Imagined.
What's more funny is that this guy was still sleeping in on the day of the competition. If Saint Xalia hadn't woken her up in time, she would have probably achieved the record of being eliminated the fastest during the selection stage.
After taking ten minutes to complete the whole process of brushing her teeth, washing her face, and eating, Alice came to Chateaurie Manor aggressively with a large support group. Those who didn't know it thought she was here to seek revenge. Jean was talking to Bran in the stables.
Xino, who was interacting closely with Di, was stunned for a moment.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Alice shouted as soon as she saw Xino: "Where is the carriage, where is the carriage? I have to go to that little town of Isolde to participate in the competition, but I can't
late……"
Since you know that time is tight, why did you stay up late playing games last night?
Everyone cursed in their hearts, and then Alice's next words let them know that this guy was not nervous, but had another agenda: "I have carefully designed a whole set of moves to enter the POSS, and I can't panic at the last moment.
It would be too shameful to go on stage without any support!"
It is obvious that he is a vulgar and superficial person who has divorced himself from high-level tastes.
"Uh." Xino was also startled by this fresh and refined reason, and it took him a moment to react: "The carriage is parked at the door, and Weber has prepared a driver for you. Just tell him."
"Okay, okay, then what are you waiting for? Sprint!"
Alice rushed forward, but suddenly thought of something, forced the brakes in a very awkward posture, turned around and asked: "Do you want to go to my game too, Xino? Aren't we good friends? If you don't come,
If so, I will be very sad?"
He may sound nice, but in fact everyone knows what he is thinking. He just thinks that if Xino, the champion of the college championship, comes to cheer for him, his face will be brighter.
"Are you going to watch the game..."
Xino thought for a moment. She had no such plan originally, but considering that Alice has been learning from herself during this period, she can barely be regarded as half a teacher of talented players. Now that the students have to play games, it is not necessary to be a teacher.
It was indeed a bit unreasonable to show up, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, but in this case, one carriage will not be enough. Let's go to the carriage and horse dealer in the town to rent another one later."
Ah, wouldn't it be that we have to meet the Knight Commander of the Saint Guard again?
With his impressive record in the trials, can he become a deputy knight commander?
The talented player had a small idea in mind, but Xino ignored her, turned around and gently stroked the mane of his beloved horse, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Brandi, go back and rest, and do armor-free training first during this period."
, after you gradually adapt, we will regain the feeling of the past... I also have to leave it to you as we promised before."
"咴lvlv!"
Brandy called out and rubbed her head against the girl's hair affectionately, still looking so admiring and dependent.
Xino's voice was very soft, and others did not hear it, but Linge was relatively close and had been paying attention to her condition for some reason, so he clearly heard what Xino said about "armor-free training."
This keyword. He couldn't help but take another look at the girl, and then he realized that there was a lot of sweat on her forehead and neck. Brandy was also similar. It looked like she had just experienced some strenuous exercise.
Training without armor, regaining the feeling, that incident before... The young man's eyes flickered, and he vaguely caught a glimpse of a clue.
"What's wrong, Mr. Ringer?" Xino's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Ringer raised his head and met her clear wine-red eyes with gentle curiosity: "You keep staring at me.
Is there anything you want to say to me?"
The young man shook his head calmly: "No, it's just a little strange. I feel that Miss Xino seems to be different today compared to the past few days."
"changed?"
Xino was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "Maybe it's because I figured out some things. Some things I struggled with in the past, but now they seem very simple."
"That's it." Linge said: "Then it seems that I should congratulate you, Miss Xino."
"No need to congratulate...Does Mr. Ringer also think this is a good thing?"
"Of course." Lin Ge took a deep look at her and said, "There is nothing better than recognizing your past self."
It sounds like you have a deep understanding of it - Xino didn't have time to ask this question, because after the young man finished speaking, he turned around to follow the pace of his companions and left the stable, leaving only her back that looked a little thin.
At the same time, Alice also waved her hand and shouted: "Hey, Xino! Why are you still in a daze? If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Xino smiled silently: "Okay, I'll come right away!"
Ten minutes later, two carriages drove out of the town of Regram one after another and headed towards the town of Isolde, which is located on the outskirts of the city. If you raise the angle of view at this time and look down from a high altitude, you will find something similar.
The scene is taking place in every corner of Grindelwald Fields, whether it is an open avenue or a path in the fields, whether it is a remote and simple roadside inn or a vineyard in its prime... there are crowds of people and horse-drawn carriages.
Together, we gathered towards the nearest stadium to welcome the grand performance called the Yamit Cup.
For others, the game means much more than that.
…
"Sir, the steward of Bolian Manor has sent back news that there is something strange happening in the ruins. It won't be too far before the beast wakes up. I'm afraid it's only two or three months away."
"That's enough."
In the dim room, the old man stared at the scene outside the window, his eyes extremely deep: "For that child, time is not important, what is important is the will to fight."
"As long as she is determined, nothing can stop her."
Whether she is confused or afraid, the moment she decides to hold the weapon, she will be left far behind.
