Chris's Faith of Fire

"It's nothing compared to Noelle. I can only use this to make you feel good at it."

As Sylvie herself said, she is not good at fighting with a sword, and the magic weapon she carries is not a combat type.Normally, she only has a dagger at her waist to protect herself. Fortunately, wind magic allows her to be agile enough to avoid unexpected attacks.

It seems that there is no need to think about that kind of thing anymore today. I have already seen the port city outside the forest, and the day's adventure has ended safely.

◆ ◇

"The twins are back."

"Hey, Noelle, would you like a glass of ale?"

As soon as the brother and sister entered the door of the mercenary station, everyone's attention was focused on them. They quickly became famous within a few months.

After all, people who can use both swords and magic are very rare, not to mention that the two of them are still so young, so young that no one would doubt their future.There are also many among them who want to curry favor with these brothers and sisters. If they use their youthful characteristics to drive them as combat power, they will probably save a lot of energy.

"Ahaha... then..."

"My brother doesn't drink!"

However, she would always step in to stop it at such times.

Sylvie glared at the mercenaries who invited Noelle, hugged her brother and walked upstairs.

"Hey, no matter how good the relationship between brother and sister is, there must be a certain limit~ How can there be such a brother who is controlled by his sister every day? Or are you just a pair of promiscuous brothers and sisters?"

It seemed that they were offended by the little girl's behavior, or maybe because they suddenly became drunk after two glasses of wine, the attitude of the mercenaries also became arrogant.They were taking extremely large steps, and Sylvie didn't understand that when they came in front of their opponents like this, they didn't care at all whether they would be knocked down in one fell swoop.

The leading man approached Sylvie and leaned down. He was so tall compared to the girl, even so, he was completely higher than her.The men behind them seemed to be stimulated by the height difference and seemed to be extremely courageous. They surrounded the twins and showed lewd smiles.

"Little girl, we are here to find your brother. Of course, you can come too... In addition to the business, we also have some other things we want to leave to you."

"Is your brother really a boy? He looks completely unreliable and has such a cute face. If he is actually not a brother but a sister, the reason why you are so protective of him will be obvious. Let me check. Just take a moment."

The leading man stretched out his fingers and aimed at Noelle's chest.

Just when the rough knuckles were still a few millimeters away from Noelle, there was a burst of explosions in the air, and then a bright red spray was sprayed out in mid-air like a whale's water mist.

Everyone was completely stunned when they saw the man's palm missing four fingers.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

After a while, he fell to the ground in pain, screaming in shock while grabbing his fallen fingers and trying to put them back one by one.

"Therapist! Maid! Get the therapist!"

"Yes, it is!"

The maid ran out of the counter in a panic, almost going in the wrong direction.

Noelle looked at Sylvie, his eyes were filled with fear for an instant.

"You, why are you doing this, Sylvie!"

"Because they plan to touch my brother casually!"

"It's no big deal, I won't lose a piece of meat!"

"It's hard to say. Who knows what these perverts will do..."

"But you let them see blood because of this. Didn't you tell them not to do similar things again?"

This is not the first time. Sylvie will become impulsive every time it involves herself. She is usually as calm as a forest.

"Noelle, it seems that now is not the time to say such things."

Sylvie reminded him with her eyes that the mercenaries had gathered around her. It seemed that the man who had his finger cut off was quite popular.It seemed that he had really done something wrong. Noelle grabbed the sword helplessly. Faced with this situation, no apology could end it.

"How dare you two brats..."

The blood on the man's hands was still falling drop by drop on the wooden floor. His steps were shaky. Maybe it was due to blood loss this time?

While Sylvie was thinking this, a mercenary couldn't hold back his anger and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Noelle held the long sword in both hands and hit the opponent who was trying to catch his sister with the scabbard. The guy immediately fainted and fell to the ground.

The remaining mercenaries looked at each other, and then swarmed forward.

Sylvie had already gathered a lot of Mana in her hands at the moment her brother attacked, and her palms were facing the floor.Only a snap was heard, and a powerful impact like a hurricane quickly filled the entire room. For a short moment, the surrounding mercenaries were floating in the air ignoring gravity. Noelle saw this and waved fiercely at them. Scabbard, those who stood were knocked down, and those who fell were knocked unconscious.

The snapping sound of joints filled the room.

Noelle's usual meekness was wiped out when he started to attack, and his face that was completely immersed in the battle was enough to scare the soldiers.Even Sylvie often felt strongly uncomfortable with his change, but she didn't really care about it in battle. It had become their habit to deal with the opponent first and then ask about it.

Another mini hurricane blew up, and the mercenaries were blown around, smashing nearby tables and chairs.

The battle finally ended as the candlestick from the ceiling fell.

"Ah! It's going to burn, it's not good!"

As Noelle spoke, he extinguished the fallen candlestick with water magic, and the whole room became dark.

"Sorry, I'm late. The healer said that you have to pay 10 silver coins before treatment... I don't know, everyone..."

When the maid of the mercenary station rushed back in a panic, she found that the surroundings were in a mess. She stared blankly at the brothers and sisters in front of her.

"I'm so sorry! Maid lady, I can pay for the medical expenses!"

“But it’s these people’s responsibility to compensate for the tables and chairs.”

They sang in harmony, as if they were used to this kind of thing.

The maid sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to accept the money from Noelle's hand and pay it to the doctor behind her.

"It was wonderful."

In the mercenary house that had become extremely silent, a deep voice accompanied by crisp applause sounded from a corner of the hall. A man wearing an embroidered robe stood up and applauded, as if approving the courage of the two men.

He is tall, has neatly combed hair, and looks to be about 40 years old.

Noelle recognized this outfit. It was the uniform of a knight, but he did not hold a sword and looked like a civil servant.

Weird, this was Sylvie's first comment.

However, it seemed that the other party did not give Sylvie a chance to say this. Before the siblings could speak, the man actually came closer. He didn't seem to intend to have his fingers amputated by the blond girl, so he just walked so far that both sides could hear each other clearly. The level of sound stopped there.

"Wonderful?"

"Yes, it is really commendable that two such young men can easily defeat a large group of fighters who are far superior to them in terms of physique and explosive power. The Wind Twins of Grand Harbor are truly well-deserved."

Even though he said this kind of thing seriously in front of him, the brother and sister had no idea at all.

He only took action to protect himself, and he didn't know when he started to become famous. Together, the two of them were called "The Twins of the Wind".

"who are you?"

Sylvie asked with some displeasure. To her, the knight in front of her always felt ill-intentioned. She kept hiding in the corner and watched the battle between the two. She didn't pretend to run out until the end, saying that she didn't know how to bring anything. Have a good impression.

But the man didn't seem to care about this at all. He bent down and performed a standard knightly salute to the two of them.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry to introduce myself so late. My name is Tyler Obadiah. As you can see he is a knight."

"I can tell, but what do the knights want from us?"

Taylor grinned, a smile that filled Sylvie with irritability.

But it is impossible to continue cutting off his fingers. It is an absolute taboo to attack a knight at will. In serious cases, the knighthood will be revoked.

"Having seen the skills of both of you, I feel deeply honored to meet such powerful young mercenaries as you."

"Speak directly."

The knight didn't seem very interested in the girl's response. His focus was on Noelle, perhaps because the battle just now made him understand how this combination has continued to this day.

"On behalf of the Deep Blue Knights of Gran, I invite you to join us. We need to confront the orcs in the next time. For this, excellent warriors are necessary."

"I see, you just want us to be your thugs?"

"No, I just hope you can do something for mankind."

"what?"

He made an incomprehensible sentence and couldn't figure out what this man meant. There was no need to continue to understand him. Anyway, he was just a knight without a sword.

"Go back, Noelle."

"Hey, don't you want to hear what he has to say?"

"There's nothing nice to say, Noelle, we just have to live our lives."

"Well, I understand. That's very sorry, Mr. Taylor... please give us a moment to think about it."

Only Noelle bowed politely, and then disappeared around the turn of the stairs with his sister.

Chapter 108 108. Things that have to be done——2

Sylvie hugged her brother's body next to her and wanted to fall asleep quickly. The smell of Noel's body always made her sleep well, but tonight she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

"What's wrong, Seele?" Noelle turned around and looked at her sister. Her behavior today was unbelievable. In addition to her own personality, Noelle felt that she was a little anxious.Normally, she had never directly cut off someone's fingers with a wind blade, but today's situation was indeed unusual.

The girl's hands exerted a little force, and Noelle felt that her waist was tightly wrapped around her, making her slightly breathless.

But as an older brother, he couldn't protest. Until his sister spoke, he just gently touched the palms of his hands that were intertwined on his waist.

"Noelle, don't you miss home?"

This sentence seemed to have hesitated for a long time before slowly coming out of his mouth.

Sylvie's body was trembling. Was she afraid to ask this question?Noelle guessed what his sister was thinking, and the more cautious he became at times like this.

Her sister is far less strong than she looks on the outside. Only Noel knows how sensitive and fragile her heart is.

"I missed home, but we decided to come out after thinking about it for a long time."

"A few days ago, when I was on the street, I heard someone say that the Demon King's army has begun to attack Mount Feas..."

This sentence made him breathless more than Sylvie's hands. The Demon King's army is attacking Feiya Mountain?That meant that Gilkern was facing a formidable enemy. Although his father had united with some of the nobles of Garnet to set up a large number of troops in the fortress, even a child knew that the Demon King's army was not that easy to deal with.They are invincible across the land, sweeping across the wilderness like moving natural disasters.

Father, will he die?

For the young man, this is his biggest concern.If Mount Feia was lost, his father would inevitably be killed in the war, and then the Demon King's army would all rush into Sestotia's area. From the three-way intersection to the Wind's Rest River, Anatolia would not be able to escape. .

Noelle said nothing. He touched Sylvie and wanted to turn around...but he was afraid that he would become unable to speak when he looked at the pair of heterochromatic eyes. The brother and sister were in the silent night. Falling into a dream together.

Chris, I've given everything for you, can't you just respond to me?

No matter how much he liked that girl, Noelle couldn't help but feel confused.Everything has changed, and I have really waited too long. The world will fall into war next. Not to mention Chris, even their brother and sister cannot guarantee that they will survive in such a chaotic world... …

In the dream, he was still wearing a straight dress, laughing with Chrissy, who was also wearing a dress, in the garden.

Although Sylvie was a little angry, she eventually got along with the two of them. In the evening, the family had lunch in the garden and listened to her mother finish the story.In his mind, Chris is already a family. Everyone always says that husband and wife are one body, so Chris must be his closest relative...

There were some tears in the corners of his eyes. When he woke up, Noelle rubbed his eyes and found that his fingers were wet.

What exactly are you doing?

Now wandering with Sylvie in the vast land of Gilkern, it was originally just to find Chris. She may be dead, or she may be anonymous in the vast sea of ​​people, and she no longer wants to be found by anyone, even if that is One's own fiancée.Touching the ring necklace around her neck with her left hand, Noelle gradually understood why Chris had left this thing behind.

Maybe she really doesn't want to be with him anymore.

With negative thoughts, he looked at his sister who was still sleeping beside him, got dressed and got out of bed.

We have to continue working hard today, but Sylvie is too tired, so let her have a good rest.

After walking downstairs, he ordered some food. Not eating last night had already made the growing Noelle feel hungry, but the mercenaries around him just looked at him and did not dare to approach.

Is it because yesterday's battle taught them to think rationally?He knew that he was not as weak as he seemed on the surface. If he took action here, he might lose a few more fingers.

For the young man, he didn't want to just bring such a negative impression to everyone. At this moment, the mercenaries in the tavern were still staring at him, with no friendly meaning in their eyes.

Noelle seemed a little uncomfortable under such gazes. He touched his thigh and after thinking for a long time, he stood up from the bench and looked around.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. My sister Sylvie did something rude. Although I took action after that... but I don't intend to fight against you."

Even if he could defeat all of them here, Noel would not take action. The mercenary station is not a duel ground. Everyone lives under the same roof without looking up. Such a life cannot continue forever.

"Your sister almost made it impossible for me to hold a sword again!"

The mercenary whose fingers were cut off by Sylvie's wind magic yesterday is now stretching his five fingers freely. It seems that the treatment was quite fast and the wound is smooth. If there is too much bleeding, it will be difficult to reattach it.

"I'm really sorry...if the treatment fee is not enough." Noelle reached for the wallet behind him.

"Enough, enough! My lord, how dare we ask for your money? You'd better leave here as soon as possible. The mercenaries are afraid that your identity will be soiled."

Noelle was very confused about the mercenary's attitude. At what point did he reveal his identity?Obviously he has never mentioned it to anyone, or does it mean that besides fighting the demons, his father still has time to send people to look for him and Sylvie?
