Chapter 65: Death
After walking out of the government affairs hall, Oron looked up at the sky, the sun was already in the west, and it was almost evening.
Oron then headed for the backyard.
After a while, Oron went to the backyard, and as soon as he entered, he saw his parents lying on a chaise longue basking in the sun, and when Oren saw this, he brought a stool to sit beside them, and chatted with them about family matters, just as he had done when he was a child.
When Oren was young, every summer evening, after dinner, the family would move the chairs to the yard and enjoy the cool breeze of the night, removing the heat of the day.
At this time, the Berts would tell Oron some strange stories, although they were illiterate and did not know much, but there were always endless stories, and the bizarre stories they told always touched Oron's heart, and often made Oren surge.
Later, part of Oron's longing for the outside world was influenced by the stories told by the old Berts.
It was also the happiest and most comfortable time for Oren, and I am afraid that it will not be again.
……
Oron didn't know how much time his parents had left to be with him, and the only thing he could do was spend more time with them and try not to make them feel lonely.
After chatting for a while, Oron got up and walked towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion with his parents, taking advantage of the good weather today, to accompany his parents to take a good look around Ian City, to feel the noisy atmosphere in the city, and to visit Uncle Bourne's family by the way.
And it's not a way for their parents to stay here all the time, and Oron can't be by their side all the time.
As soon as he walked out of the city lord's mansion, the noisy atmosphere immediately came to his face, Oren accompanied his parents to walk east and west on the street, and when he saw what he wanted to buy, he bought it casually, and the vendors in the city didn't want to take Oren's money to buy things, but Oren didn't have the habit of taking it for nothing, and he didn't lack this money, and they were all ordinary people, and life was not easy.
Oron has also gone from an ordinary person step by step to the present, and he knows how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive.
After walking around, my parents' looks are obviously much better, and they look much more energetic than before.
Although they now live in the City Lord's Mansion without worrying about food and clothing, they have also lost their vision and hope for life as ordinary people, and Oron no longer needs them to worry about it, and lives a monotonous life every day, which will undoubtedly make them more and more lonely.
Although they have Oren's company, their lives are not only with Oren, and Oren's life is not only with them.
Seeing that the sun had already set, Oron went to buy some gifts and prepared to sit at Uncle Bourne's house later.
Since he was going to visit on a special occasion, of course he couldn't go empty-handed, so Oron bought Uncle Bourne a few bottles of good wine, and prepared a few drinks with him, and bought clothes for his aunt, but Oren didn't understand any of them, so he had to ask his parents to help him choose, and he also prepared some snacks for his two-year-old cousin.
After the purchase, the Oron family slowly walked towards Bourne's house, and when they arrived at Uncle Bourne's house, only his aunt and cousin were at home, and Uncle Bourne should still be in the blacksmith shop now.
After living in Ion, Oron also wanted Uncle Byrne to live with the family in the Castle Lord's Mansion, but Byrne felt uncomfortable after living there for a while, so he moved out on his own and started his old business again, opening his own blacksmith shop.
Although Oren now has enough financial resources to support the family of Bourne, Bourne does not want to be idle, nor does he want to start his retirement life early.
The aunt asked Oron to help take care of her cousin and walked out of the house.
Looking at his parents who were teasing his cousin, and listening to their laughter, Oron was a little silent, and then sighed softly.
It wasn't long before Uncle Bourne and his aunt walked in, and Bourne was very happy to see the arrival of the Oron family.
……
The two families chatted together for a long time, and Oren also accompanied Uncle Bourne for a few drinks, and there was a lot of laughter.
When it was completely dark, the Oron family and Uncle Byrne said goodbye and left.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, after Oren separated from his parents, he walked to the secret room and began to prepare for cultivation, sitting in the center of the secret room, Oron carefully thought about the road ahead.
After becoming an earth knight, the next goal is to move towards the sky knight, after becoming a sky knight, the strength will have a qualitative change, and it can also fly for a short time, and the ten earth knights are not the opponent of a sky knight, each sky knight is the foundation of a kingdom.
Moreover, after becoming a heavenly knight, if there is no disaster or disease, it is enough to live to be one hundred and twenty years old, you know, an ordinary person has a lifespan of fifty or sixty years at most.
But if you want to become a heavenly knight, it is also extremely difficult, the human body can accommodate the dou qi is limited after all, if you want to accommodate more dou qi, you can only compress the dou qi, and to become a heavenly knight, you have to compress the dou qi in the body from the gaseous state to the liquid state, resulting in qualitative changes.
But if you want to compress the Dou Qi into a liquid state, not only the physical fitness must be sufficient, but also the control of the Dou Qi must reach the point where the arm is waved, if the physical fitness is not enough or the control of the Dou Qi is insufficient, and the Sky Knight is rashly broken through, it will not only hurt the body like the Breakthrough Knight, and it is very likely to explode and die.
After thinking about the key points, Oren gathered his thoughts and slowly began to guide the Dou Qi to repeatedly scrub and beat in his body, polish his body, and try to slowly strengthen his control over the Dou Qi while tempering his body.
Oron is not in a hurry, he has only become an earth knight not long ago, the sky knight is still a little far away from the current one, the most important thing for him now is to be familiar with the methods of the earth knight, strengthen the polishing of the body, and be able to skillfully use the means of fighting qi out of the body, these can greatly increase his combat effectiveness.
……
As time passed, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Oron's life has been as uneventful as ever, and has not changed much, except for a visit to the royal capital with Mr. Feller a year ago, and the rest of the time Oron stayed in Ian City.
Occasionally accompany his parents, accompany them to Ian City to hang out, or go to the government hall to appease Gelie, and ask if there is anything important for him to deal with, but most of the time is spent cultivating fighting qi and polishing his body.
Oron is now a senior knight, not only has he been able to skillfully use his fighting energy to slash without hurting his body, but his control over his fighting spirit has been greatly improved, and he has begun to slowly try to compress his fighting energy, but there has not been much change.
But in the past two years, the old Bert's health has deteriorated, and his father Bert is a little better, especially Oren's mother Cecy, whose face has begun to lose blood, is full of wrinkles, and her hair has turned gray.
Especially after Oren came back from the royal capital a year ago, they seemed to have lost all their heart, lying in bed all day, Orren also found many doctors to see, but to no avail, and then Oren directly put down all other things and concentrated on staying by their side, and Uncle Bourne's family moved to the City Lord's Mansion because of this.
Even so, the fire of the old Berts' life inevitably began to dim.
On this very day, Oren sat in front of his parents' bed as usual, and while talking to his father Bert, who was sitting next to him, he looked at Ceci, who was lying quietly asleep on the bed.
While the father and son were talking, Cecy, who was lying on the bed, suddenly waved his arms and muttered Oren's name in his mouth.
"Oren, little Oron, where are you..."
Seeing this, Oron quickly got up, carefully held Ceci lying on the bed in his arms, and put his mother's waving arm in his hand.
"I'm here, little Oron is here..."
Looking at his mother Ceci's bloodless face at this time, Oren's tears immediately fell silently.
Bert, who stood up next to him, seemed to have foreseen something, and his eyes slowly turned red.
Cecy seemed to hear Oren's response, slowly opened a pair of cloudy eyes, looked at Oron with a levy look, and then wanted to touch Oren's face, but his arm was no longer able to be raised, and Oron hurriedly put his mother's hand on his face.
Cecy slowly brushed the tears from Oren's face with his fingers, and his mouth kept calling Oron's name in a faint voice.
"Oron, Oron..."
Feeling the temperature on Oren's face, Ceci slowly closed his eyes, and the hand that was caressing Oren's face fell weakly.
Seeing this, Oron didn't know what was going on, feeling his mother's gradually deprived body, Oren just cried in a low voice, and Bert, who was next to him, watched this scene and just slowly wiped away his tears with his hand.
They foresaw this day in advance, but foreseeing it does not mean that they can accept it easily.
At this time, the Bournes, who heard the movement next door, also rushed over, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they instantly knew what was happening, and their eyes turned red.
After a while, Oren's relatives and friends rushed over, they all knew about the situation of Oren's parents, and naturally knew that there would be such a day, but they were still a little moved to see this scene.
Aang and Gerle looked at Oren who was holding his mother and crying in a low voice, they felt very uncomfortable, they knew what kind of person Oren was, a man who did not change his face in the face of swords, mountains and fires, but he couldn't control his emotions at the moment, which showed what the death of Oren's mother meant to him.
Everyone watched in silence.
……
Three days later, with grief, Oron buried his mother on the green hill behind the city of Ian.
Sisi's cemetery faces the north gate of the city of Ian down the hill.
Facing this "green city" that they built little by little under the leadership of Oren, in this city, every place is full of their footprints.
Just as Oron is her pride, so is the city of Oron's pride.
Bluestone City below the green hills.
