readx;
A cold wind blew through the stream between Avi and the Imperial Knight, and Avi's eyes lost focus, and he bowed his head motionless after the Imperial Knight's words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"My mother... Joni she... Already..."
"As you can imagine, she has been sentenced by Chief Judge Talon on charges of harboring and nurturing a murderer, and knowingly failing to report it. Wood, who was far behind the Imperial Knight, began to walk to the side, and the angle was already able to shoot Avi.
The tears in Avi's eyes filled his sockets, but at this moment he didn't let the tears flow, and the memories of being dependent on his mother Joni for more than ten years were vivid, and these memory fragments made Avi's heart feel suffocated, and Avi's spirit turned into glass balls, which kept spilling on the stone slabs.
"Humans are cruel and they don't care if your mother is innocent or not. "Suddenly, something came from the direction of the Imperial Knight, and the Imperial Knight's head became the head of an owl!
"Humans are ruthless, they will only act in their own interests. Another word came from the owl's beak.
"That's enough!! The white lion sword in Avi's hand, which was about to be loosened, suddenly stabbed at the Imperial Knight, and the Imperial Knight with the owl's head immediately raised the knight's sword to resist. Who would have thought that the long sword that Avi stabbed at that moment perfectly avoided the knight's sword that wanted to block, broke through the defense of the knight's sword in that extremely small distance, broke through the protection of the covered helmet, and stabbed the owl's eye through the gap in the helmet!
"Ah!" the owl wailed, but the Imperial knight who fell to the ground immediately came from the owl's beak, "your mother is dead, and she died because of you, poor fellow." β
Avi didn't know how he had cut off the head of the Imperial Knight's owl, but when the Imperial Knight's head rolled to the grass along with the covered helmet, the owl vanished, leaving only Wood standing in the distance with a stunned expression.
Joan's cry came from afar, "Great! Kill the other one too! It's almost impossible to hold it here!" Joan used all his strength to press the axe-wielding man, but he was also about to reach his limit, and one of the axe-wielding man's hands had already been pulled out from under the rectangular wooden shield, and was pulling Joan's clothes.
A cold crossbow bolt struck Avi in the abdomen, causing Avi to fall to his knees in a sharp pain. At the same moment, the axe-wielding man also turned over from under the wooden shield and stood up, and with a fierce swing of the axe, the wooden shield used to resist the attack was split!
Wood pulled the dagger from his waist and rushed at Avi, "You damn bastard!
The sharp pain in his abdomen made Avi break out in a cold sweat, but the pain couldn't be compared to the heartache of losing his mother - after killing the Imperial Knight in an instant, Avi seemed to have lost his soul, and the sorrow in his heart was like a flood bursting the embankment, making Avi feel suffocated again.
"Avi, this is the wooden riding spear I picked up from the stable," Avi, who was propped up with a white lion sword, suddenly heard his mother's voice! "Although it is a little damaged, I can ask the master of the blacksmith to repair it, and maybe it can still be used." β
Avi looked up, and everything around him changedβhe was no longer wearing an iron crossbow bolt, but just a normal groom's clothes, behind him was no longer the night of Mallot, but his home, in front of him was no longer the Imperial Knight and Wood, but his mother with a wooden lance in both hands, and in the distance it was not the axe-wielding man and Joan, but the training ground of Goldhoof, where "Winter" was still watching him from the stables.
Looking at his mother's kind face, Avi couldn't hold back any longer, he let go of his hand holding the sword, rushed forward and hugged his mother, and a cry of pain came. The color of the dusk was a bit miserable, and Joni didn't tell Avi not to cry, she just gently swept Avi's hair with her hand without saying a word. She also stole a glance at a man on the training ground, who was riding on a black horse, Ben Nicott, who had "borrowed" Avi's spiritual plane.
Avi cried loudly, his mother was shorter than him when he left Golden Hoof City, but now his mother seemed to be very tall.
"Don't cry, you've grown from a boy to a man, and if you keep crying like this, the horses will laugh at you. β
"But... But... Mother..."Avi couldn't stop sobbing, he hadn't forgotten the words of the Imperial Knight just now, but he didn't know why his mother Joni was standing in front of him now, he just wanted to hug her tightly and not think about anything.
Ben Nicott, who was still on the horse, had already stood beside the two, and he looked at Avi and Jonny, "Actually, I can't bear to interrupt you, but in order for me to continue to live on your spiritual level, I still have to propose you." The light of the setting sun shone on their pale yellow hair, and when Bennicott had said this, there was only one person left who had been touched by the light.
Avi slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him did not change in the slightest, except that his mother was gone, and only Ben Nicott, who was wearing a mage's robe, stood aside.
Avi immediately rushed in front of Ben Nicot, grabbed the psychic's clothes, "What about my mother! Did you use a spell to make her disappear!"
"That's not the case, Avi," Avi suddenly found himself clutching a piece of rag as Bennicott stood behind Avi, "This is another level of your spirit, and I was brought here by you all of a sudden, perhaps that's why your mental power is so different." β
Avi still had tears streaming down his cheeks, and he couldn't listen to Bennicott at all. However, Avi has gradually begun to realize that this is indeed only his own spiritual world, and his mother Joni does not really exist here.
"I can wait for you to calm down a little before continuing to explain some things to you, after all, the time and space on the spiritual level are not realistic, so you..."
"You say, I'll listen. Avi suddenly sat down on the ground, looking at "Winter" who was still in the stable with a dejected expression, but he didn't want to look at Ben Nicot.
Ben Nicott touched his eyebrows with a finger, "Ordinary people have only one spiritual level, but you have two, and this is your second spiritual level, and I only found out today." β
"Oh. β
"I don't know why there are two of them, but I'm not without encountering two spiritual humans, who have either been stimulated by a great change in their sensible past, or who have been shadowed by something terrible in their childhood. β
Avi shook his head slightly, "Really?"
"That's right, those owls are proof of that. Ben Nicott pointed to the racecourse, where suddenly a row of owls, eight of them, stood on the wooden railing.
"Humans are cold and selfish. β
"Humanity is lonely and sad. β
"Humans eat losers. β
The owls suddenly let out a terrible cry, but when the cries reached Avi's ears, they immediately became a language that Avi could understand.
When Avi looked up at the row of owls, the owls disappeared immediately, and not a single owl could be seen, not even a single owl feather was missing.
"How so..."
"These owls may have actually appeared in your world, but they all eventually became something on your spiritual plane," Ben Nicott slowly raised a hand, one of which was standing on his finger, "and that's what surprised me, because in this second spiritual plane, this silver-white mare has always been here, that is, when it appears in your world, this second spiritual plane of yours exists." β
Avi stared blankly at "Winter", "Winter" was the first horse to be able to communicate with Avi, and the first animal to be able to communicate with Avi, "Mr. Bennicott, is my mother really dead?"
"I am not an all-knowing God, how can I know the life and death of someone far away. Bennicott took his hand back, and the owl was gone. Hearing this, Avi lowered his head again, and his gradually cooling mood began to bring reason back to his brain, and some realities that he had to face slowly appeared in his mind. "But I can guess from the situation in front of me that the reason why your spirit body suddenly hid in this second spirit plane is because there are some stimuli that you can't face, and your spirit body collapses, shatters, and even destroys at the same time. β
Avi asked in frustration, "Then why haven't I died?"
"That's what makes you interesting," Ben Nicott smiled proudly, "if you were an ordinary person, you might have gone crazy because you couldn't stand such mental stimulation, and you would have become a madman who lost her sense of self, and those were the result of the death of the mental body." But you have brought the spirit body back to this second spiritual level at the moment when the spirit body is about to collapse, and it is like a greenhouse, protecting your spirit body at this moment. β
β...β
"Maybe something has caused you to create this second spiritual level in your spiritual world, and I can't dig into the reason for it for the time being, but what is certain is that this second spiritual level has saved you, and this is the most peaceful place for you, and it has allowed you to avoid the grief of the real world for a while. β
Avi couldn't help but shed tears when he heard the word "temporary", because he knew that the Imperial Knight had no reason to deceive him, so his mother might have really been sentenced to Daron's execution because of him.
Ben Nicott looked at Avi who was sobbing and wiping his tears with his sleeve, "If you don't calm down in a short period of time, you may lose everything, after all, I seem to feel that someone is about to take your life." β
"I don't know if I can face it..."The glow of the setting sun sprinkled on Avi's body, warm and comfortable.
Bennicott walked up to Avi and half-crouched down and hugged Avi, "I'll help you." β
