Chris's Faith of Fire

As I spoke, I looked at the sword and shield hanging on the wall of the room. The shield was engraved with a condor with wings spread.

For nobles, mottos are to be imprinted on the heart.Not only do you need to remember it, but you also need to implement this sentence into your own life. What you do at every moment must not be ashamed of the teachings left by your ancestors.

When my father heard my answer without thinking, he smiled and nodded.

He put his hands under my armpits, easily picked me up and carefully put me on the chair like a puppet, and then walked around the room.

"Mia, as you said, dragons have the hardest scales and tusks, and their breath of fire is enough to melt everything... But in my father's opinion, they are not the strongest creatures in the sky."

"why……"

"Because they have forgotten how to fly, but they have strong wings but stay in the cave, looking at the useless gold and silver treasures, waiting for the arrival of the hunters... Haha, this can be considered a kind of power, but this kind of power is not It is inconsistent with the laws of the sky.”

"The law of the sky?"

"Yes, creatures living in the water cannot see the world on the ground, creatures born on the ground cannot see the world in the sky, but creatures born in the sky can look down on the earth and see everything... Only the strongest Only those who can survive and gain the greatest freedom...the freedom to roam at will in this wild world."

The excited father opened his arms and spoke loudly, as passionately as a poet singing on the street.

We can't see the world in the water either...

Although I wanted to ask this question at the time, I took into account my father's emotions and did not say such stupid words to get into trouble.

Spread your wings to face the sky.

When I truly understood this sentence, I faced the most unfortunate moment in my life.

It was just a happy outing. I put on my most beautiful clothes. My mother had been busy all morning taking care of my hair and permed it with several curls at the end.

I sat in the back of the carriage all the way, feeling uncomfortable due to the bumps, so I kept leaning on my father’s arms.

Even then, I felt that my father was the strongest and gentlest man in the world. His broad chest always made people feel extremely at ease.

I lay in this warm little world and fell asleep sweetly, little did I know that what was about to come was a nightmare.

The flash of sword and mace broke everything.

When I woke up, my father and mother were lying in a pool of blood...

They still struggled to open their eyes before falling to the ground, their severed limbs falling to the ground.

Looking at all this, I couldn't say a word.

I wanted to vomit, but it felt like there was a sharp thorn stuck in my throat. I couldn't say anything, only my legs were shaking... I watched the men with malicious intentions getting closer and closer.

I was violated right next to the broken carriage.

The sweat on the rude thieves smelled bad, and their movements were very rough. They cried out in pain, but they had no intention of giving up.

They took turns one by one, torturing me in exchange. At that time, I really felt that death was so easy. If only they had given me a sword, it would have been better if they had not come out today.

Finally, near sunset, the highway thieves stopped their behavior.

I fell to the ground covered in smelly and fishy filth, and my vision was blurry. It wouldn't matter even if I was killed at this time... The pain in my lower body already had an anesthesia-like effect.

As the wind howled, I kept crying and crying.

Crying when being taken away...

He also cried when he was thrown onto another man's shoulders.

At first, the men just cursed a few words...

But as my voice grew louder, they finally grew impatient.

The leading man kicked me in the stomach. The huge impact made me so painful that I was speechless.

"If you keep arguing, I'll cut out your tongue!"

The moment I heard these words, I became quiet.

The words "cut out your tongue" are much scarier than "kill you". Death only happens in a moment, but there are many ways to make people suffer.

After being taken to the robber's lair, he understood this even more.

There were many naked bodies of men and women hanging in a small cave. Some of the bodies had throwing knives stuck on them. They were obviously used as targets for throwing by the thieves.

I was thrown into a room full of women. Their eyes were lifeless and no one was crying.

Looking at me with tears on my face, they just looked over for a moment, and then turned their attention to face the wall.

In the next few days, I was constantly being violated by men. They kept changing their tricks, and gradually I no longer felt the pain.

However, the inner fear still appears from time to time.

Having my body touched by strange men was something I, who had received a noble education, couldn't stand, not to mention the risk of pregnancy.

Thinking about these things, I had a gloomy face and was scolded by the men.

When he was thrown back into the room, another slave girl spoke to him.

"I really envy you."

"envious?"

"It's so popular, even for a newcomer, it's too exaggerated~ She has a sexy body at such a young age."

The slave girl's words made me furious, and the self-esteem I was about to lose was regained in an instant.

"I'm sorry, you're such a despicable person! You're obviously in the worst situation and yet you still say things like this. Common people are really despicable..."

She had no reaction at all to my angry rebuke.

Numbness has already been written on that face...

"Little sister, make no mistake, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners here... This is a toilet for men. How long will your pathetic self-esteem last? If you are tired of the men, you will be sold or like those The hanging corpse becomes a prop for sword testing, do you want to be like that?"

"what?"

"Humph……"

The conversation was interrupted, and the slave girl never looked at me again.

The cold night made the slaves huddle up and hold straw, and of course we were not qualified to put on clothes.

From time to time, slaves who could not bear the cold died, and when the men saw this, they just threw them away like garbage.

I was still violated over the next few days.

Don't you get tired of doing this every day?

But as the slave girl said, the frequency is gradually decreasing, and I gradually become afraid.

Being sold?Or be killed...

As time goes by, my fear of death is no longer what it was at the beginning.

I was scared, and I couldn't sleep that night holding the straw.

Spread your wings to face the sky...

Yet I was trapped in a cage.

If the pet does not obey its owner, it will be bored and cannot get food. On the contrary, if it obeys the owner, it will be loved more and gain greater freedom.

It’s easy to say it, but it takes awareness to actually put it into action.

Starting from the second day, I started to become less passive.

No matter how bad the men smell or how rude their actions are, I still try my best to please them.

Since my own conditions were better than those of the kidnapped village women, it was natural that I was favored by the boss of the thieves.

Gradually, he stopped letting other men touch me. I escaped from that small room, could take a shower, put on beautiful clothes again, and was qualified to sit next to him...

What I learned was not only obedience, but also cold-bloodedness and tact.

What men like is a submissive woman, but not a ruthless and terrifying woman...

When I kill other slaves, I neither applaud nor plead for them. I run away from the execution scene and pretend to be scared. At this time, the boss will gently hold me in his arms.

He obviously has stronger and wider arms than his father, but he doesn't feel safe at all.

Even though these days are much better than before, I don't plan to continue them forever.

I waited and waited, and at the same time I became more and more free, even gaining the freedom to go shopping in the town under the watchful eye of thieves.

My mother once taught me a kind of knowledge.

I went to buy moongrass and morning cream. Mixing these two can make a contraceptive pill.

It's really great that I haven't been pregnant all this time. If I become a burden, I will be abandoned immediately, and I don't want to give birth to the children of these despicable people.

The bloodline of the Condor must never be tarnished.

The thieves have no knowledge of herbalism, I just said they bought cosmetics.

But I also understand that this kind of lie cannot go on forever.

So a decision must be made within a short period of time.

Finally one day, the time came.

The kingdom organized an army to attack the thieves' nest. The nervous thieves went to fight. Of course, the thieves boss also rushed to the front line. Before leaving, I imitated my dear wife and kissed him gently to say goodbye.

As he stepped out the door, my time to spread my wings came.

I took away some valuable things and put a short sword on my waist. After quickly preparing, I picked up the long sword and went to the room where the female slaves stayed.

Looking at these girls, I couldn't help but laugh out loud...

The slave girl who had laughed at me before had been sold long ago. Among them, I was the only one to escape that predicament.

And now, I am the only one who can leave here.

If these guys spread the word that I am collaborating with thieves, it will be difficult in the future.

Even the slightest threat must be nipped in the bud.

Ruthlessness is also the strength of the Condor.

The first murder was a big one, and the blood splattered on the rock wall, making it difficult to see the original color.

Although his hands were trembling, he still did everything perfectly. After that, it doesn't matter whether the thief or the knight wins. The thief can't win, it doesn't matter anymore.

The eagle will spread its wings.

◆ ◇

I came to Anatolia 8 years ago.

I gradually climbed up in the mercenary station and met a master who not only gave me luck but also taught me skills.

With the adaptability of illusion magic, he became stronger under the training of his master.

Gradually I can take charge of my own business.

This world is my hunting ground, men, women, monsters...

Power, wealth, wisdom, connections...

These are my prey.

My favorite thing is to keep my eye on the target and swoop down to grab it.

Now my target is this city.

However, there were many obstacles in front of him.

For example, Wasp, he is a powerful man.

Seduction is of no use to him, he values ​​rules, is cold but cares about brotherhood.

Can be considered the best leader.

But he has a fatal flaw.

——Not decisive enough.

Unable to predict the situation and make bold decisions, that's why previous actions failed.

Some failures still have a chance to be redeemed, but his failure was fatal.

The elite forces among his cronies among the thieves have all been eradicated, and the current Wasp can be said to be extremely weak.

The leader of this city, Duke Asha, comes from a noble family but is extremely stupid.

The nobles controlled him and enjoyed their glory and wealth, but the Wasp's ideal was to overthrow him and create new leadership.
