Chris's Faith of Fire

I don't know if it's because of the vampire's ability or because I'm really talented, but in the past two months, I have been unable to speak the same language.

It was a month ago that I came to Anatolia.

I ran out of money during the trip, but as long as I had a job as a mercenary, I wouldn't have to worry about running out of money. As a soldier, I was a superior. This I only learned after getting along with my fellow mercenaries.

During this process I met a girl named Alyssa Veblen.

She has soft brown hair, and she always walks on the road with a sword and a knight's uniform. After she saw my skills, she pulled me into the guard group.

This organization seems to be responsible for managing a series of illegal incidents caused by thieves in the city.

Originally I didn't want to get involved in the conflicts in the city, but since I haven't sucked blood for a long time, I almost fell into the urge to suck blood without realizing it.If this continues, I will suck out Alyssa’s blood first.

So I simply vented my frustration on the thieves. These guys are just a group of villains.

The culprit of urban instability is the same as I used to be...

I don't have the ability to heal the hearts of others like Chris, so I have to try not to take their lives and absorb a small amount of blood.

But it is very difficult to actually control it. A vampire's thirst for blood is like a fish's thirst for water. It is difficult to control the intensity, and the more blood you suck, the easier it is to become addicted. But relatively... my power is getting stronger and stronger.

A vampire like Lian who can control her blood-sucking desire just through sleep must be very powerful.

Did he live for hundreds of years or thousands of years?

He once participated in the battle between the heroes and the Demon King and remains as the only survivor to this day. Even so, he is unable to confront the Demon King head-on. So when will the bold words he laid down in front of Lian come true?

Fight, drink blood, and gain promotions in the Guard Corps.

As I gradually became famous, the head of the security regiment asked me to wear a beautiful long white coat. Wearing this, you will be our role model, he said so.

Indeed, from then on, almost all the enemies in the battle began to attack me. It turned out that this was intended to reduce the casualties of other security team members.

After understanding the leader's intention, I felt understanding but also a little disappointed.

I didn't join for this city, but now I don't take my life seriously at all. I am not a true citizen of Nefera, and I will die even if I am fatally injured.Putting aside this point, these people clearly don’t even know that I am a vampire but they still let me do such dangerous things!I am not a saint of the Theocratic State Neferrat, so of course I will have complaints.

Even so, my pride still drives me to continue doing this job.

After all, I really hate thieves, and Alyssa has always supported me, although her attitude is not very good every time.

Alyssa is the daughter of a minor nobleman born in the royal capital of Xidelin. A few years ago, her parents had their fiefdom taken back by the king because they failed to pay tribute. Only the title is still there, but if a nobleman does not have land, he cannot be called a nobleman. Being a nobleman will eventually decline.

Alyssa came to Anatolia, the city closest to the Orcs in the south, for her father, hoping to make contributions here and revive her family tradition.

With her words, he seemed to be inspired, and his fighting spirit appeared again.

I don't know whether it was because I was working too hard or because my desire to suck blood was getting stronger and stronger. One day I fell ill before being assigned to a mission.

The leader kept urging me to carry out the mission, saying that if I were here this time, I would probably be able to destroy their sub-base in one fell swoop, so that the power of the thieves organization in the city would be greatly weakened.

"Everyone is fighting bravely on the front lines but you are lying here? Is your title of 'Wolf Swordsman' just a casual comment?"

In fact, it was just talk. This nickname was spread by the head of the security regiment. After the people in the thieves organization knew that I had strong combat power, they dedicated part of their strength to assassinate me. This also made the work of the security regiment become more complicated. Relaxed.

I fell ill from fatigue due to excessive fighting, but this dead uncle actually spoke impassionedly and uprightly in front of me.It was as if he had been on the battlefield and fought those thieves personally.

On the contrary, I heard that the thieves are united and everyone is equal within the organization.

Are you really in the right position?

I'm so tired that I can't even get angry at this guy.

I smiled bitterly and looked at the group leader who was frowning and spitting...

Unexpectedly, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with my attitude and planned to teach me a lesson.

At this time Alyssa stepped in to stop it.

She blocked the leader's heavy slap with her face.

Alyssa's slender body received such a heavy blow that she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

At that moment, my nerves seemed to be disconnected. I seemed to regain my state all of a sudden. I jumped up from the bed and kicked the leader to the floor. I sat on him and punched him one after another. .

I don't want to suck his blood, I just want to take his life.

It wasn't the anger of being a vampire, just simply being a human being.

You have obviously worked hard and agreed to all kinds of rude requests. What else do you want?

hateful.

I am not a local, and I have no feelings for this city. Why should I treat it like an object and squeeze out the last bit of value?

The anger that had been accumulated all this time completely exploded in an instant.

If this continues, I will pin the leader to the ground alive and beat him to death with my fists...

It was Alyssa who finally pulled my fist down.

"Please, stop..."

My breathing was disordered, but when I looked back at Alyssa's face that had been swollen by the leader, I stopped.

I thought that the group leader would have a grudge because of this incident and would get rid of me because of it.

However, it seems that the nickname "Wolf Swordsman" has spread, and if it disappears because of this, it will also have a great impact on the security group.

The matter was ignored... After treatment, the group leader just said that he was injured due to a sneak attack by thieves. As a result, he was respected by the group members.

"A farce."

I sat on the roof of the garrison dormitory, admiring the moon alone.

He was not punished, but he felt extremely depressed.

The meaning of the garrison, which I had always thought was organized for order and stability, was shaken in my mind.

These people are just like the officials in the castle. They want others to praise their achievements. It doesn't matter whether the honor being sung is true or false. For this reason, they can abandon even the most basic dignity.

Facing these guys, I no longer want to stay in this city.

If you think about it carefully, it turns out that you really joined the Guard Corps out of a fit of enthusiasm...

Because Alyssa invited me very enthusiastically, even though she acted reluctantly.

The two moons overlap each other at night and feel like they are about to separate again in the blink of an eye.

The bright but not dazzling light shone on his body, making him feel relieved for a moment.

"Leave tomorrow..."

"Where are you going, Lord Wolf Swordsman?"

One sentence caught my attention.

When I turned around, the man had already come to the front.

He covered his face with his robe, making it difficult to see clearly even with night vision.

But the voice is crisp and magnetic, and it feels like that of a young man.

"The rumored Wolf Swordsman is actually still a teenager. It's really amazing."

"Who are you."

It's not an ordinary person to be able to get behind me without realizing it, because I grabbed the sword in my hand and didn't plan to attack first.

"My name is Bentham, and I am a thief."

"Someone would call himself a Rogue?"

"I will not steal from the poor or the righteous..."

"A mortal would dare to say such a thing with the naked eye. In my opinion, thieves are all the same, and there is no distinction between good and bad... The ones with poor abilities will rob nobles on the road for a living and then run away immediately. The ones with strong abilities are just... Make a few more transactions a day, give some of the stolen goods that you don’t use to others, and deceive yourself and others that you are righteous. The so-called righteous thieves are people who feel good about themselves.”

My words silenced the conversation. The man didn't know whether it was because he was surprised or amused. He covered his mouth and his shoulders trembled.

"Hahaha~ Could it be that Sir Wolf Swordsman has been a thief before?"

"Yes, it is true, but if you came to persuade me, you would have made a mistake. I would have washed my hands in a golden basin long ago...leave quickly before I draw my sword."

He was still lying on the roof looking at the moon, waiting for Bentham to leave.

However, he took a step closer and blocked the moonlight with his own figure.

"Hey...don't make me angry!"

"You seem to have misunderstood me. What if I said I would allow you to annihilate the elites of the thieves organization?"

"what?"

"Tomorrow at the old church south of the square, they will come to seize the gifts that the nobles plan to make friends with the beasts in the south. They can take advantage of that opportunity to catch them all."

I don't know what this man's intentions are, but his words and actions are clearly betraying his companions.

I'm very uncomfortable with this.

"I won't go, this city..."

"If you don't go, this city will lose the opportunity to unite with the Orcs because the gifts are robbed. The Orcs are a bunch of idiots. Without enough gifts, they will start a war directly because they feel that they are not sincere. In this Demon King's army is resurrected. In this era, civil war is more likely to break out."

"..."

"After all, unlike people like me who feel good about themselves, you are truly righteous."

"talent……"

There is no such thing.

I wanted to object, but it would be stupid to say it.

My title spread because people thought I was the embodiment of justice, so I became that...

He must have been teasing me because he wanted to hint at this.

Bentham left as quietly as he had arrived.

Leave me alone to struggle under the bright moon.

Chapter 90 90. Cats and Dogs——4

When the appointed time arrived, the young man was already waiting there. I looked at him from a distance, and the young man waved to me.

Unlike during the day, he was not wearing that eye-catching gorgeous long coat.

I walked over and Fami spread his hands. I noticed what he meant and took a step forward to hug him.

"I thought I wouldn't see you again, Chris...didn't you stay at Duke Shahavier's house? Didn't they take you in..."

After a brief hug, we let go of each other, and I stretched out my hand so that he could see the ring finger of my left hand.

After a few months, even the traces of wearing the ring were no longer visible.

"I want to go my own way, this is my choice."

"If it were Lian, I would definitely let you stay there."

"So I'm not going to tell him, why are you here? Are Lian and the others also in this city?"

Facing my words, Fami smiled helplessly.

"It's a long story. Let's go to a cooler place to talk."

"Ah."

After saying this, Fami stepped forward without saying a word. He nimbly stepped onto the scaffolding beside the church, climbing without using his hands until he reached the highest point.

I got a little excited after seeing his movements, and cast detection magic on my feet. It's better to be a little more careful at night, and Akabato also said that using more illusions can make me stronger.

I climbed faster, and when I reached the top of the church, the boy smiled and stretched out his hand.

Taking his hand, the two of us stood at the highest point of the area.

I adjusted my breathing and looked down at the city from the top of the tall church.

Although the areas to the north are higher.

"You are far stronger than me, Fami..."

"I was stronger than you from the beginning~"

The boy said proudly.

"No! I was obviously stronger in the beginning!"
