Chris's Faith of Fire

"you you……"

The thief was dumbfounded by my move. He was stunned and threw my hands away.

"Don't do unnecessary things! Sorry...I just want to say...can you tell me what happened when the wasp died?"

"Well, please let me tell you in detail..."

The awkward conversation only lasted a few seconds, and Momonga once again brought the conversation back to the topic.

I didn’t tell this man about Wasp’s death by Fami, but I told most of the story about Akagi, so that I could get more information from him if I wanted to put a clear distance from him.

This person who calls Wasp his big brother must be on his side, but the reason why Akagi sent me here is just because he is worried about the leakage of information, not because he wants to save his companions.

At this point I can somewhat understand the difference between red doves and wasps.

Wasp is a leader with a unique personal charm, which attracts thieves to follow...

But he didn't know how to look at people, and was eventually killed by Chijiu.

Akagito and Wasp are completely opposite people. She is thoughtful in her thoughts and rarely has flaws in her battles. However, every word makes people have to guess its authenticity. Even if you obey completely, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be plotted by her.

It is very dangerous to continue to follow Akagi. What I have to do now is to take the opportunity to leave Anatolia. My life is in danger every second here.

Momonga's matter is an opportunity for me, and I must seize it.

He was very careful to tell the story of what happened recently. Because Momonga was very sensitive, he was also very careful here and tried not to tell lies that were too outrageous.

After listening to my narration, he nodded slightly.

"Is that bitch Akagi now in control of the entire organization?"

"It's roughly like this..."

"Fuck it... I had expected that bitch had evil intentions, but unfortunately Brother Wasp was too kind-hearted and ended up being harmed by her... What about you, Cat! Are you still going to stand by her side?"

Facing the questioning, he lowered his eyelashes and smiled bitterly.

"Momonga, do you expect me to fight against Akagi alone? She is a woman like a snake and a scorpion, but she is also as ambitious as an eagle in the sky... Any stone that stands in front of her will be kicked. Kai, good at enduring and seizing opportunities, Chijiu is a hero."

She once told me that her ideal was just to return to her hometown, but I didn't understand what she meant until now.

Chijiu was kidnapped by bandits and forced to leave his territory and became a slave.

But after years of patience and seizing the opportunity, she has become a leader in the shadow of Anatolia. What she calls returning home must mean that one day she will lead the entire Eastern Continent's army to take back her homeland.

Otherwise, she wouldn't value the secret treasures of the Orcs so much.

Fighting against the Demon King's army that is already at the door of Gilkern has become the top priority at the moment.

All available forces must be mobilized.

For Ren and I, that kind of power is a hero, but for Akagi, it is the entire army of every force.

"...Little girl, where did you learn so many great principles?"

"The word "little girl" is a bit unpleasant, but I have a nice name called Chris."

After hearing my answer, the thief was stunned for a moment, and then laughed uncontrollably.

"Hahahahaha...it hurts so much, the wound is about to open again."

"I won't find a therapist to help you treat you this time."

"Haha... That's all, that's all, Chris... You haven't answered my question yet, who are you loyal to? Although you say you won't fight against Chijiu, you still have a plan. You want to rely on That Duke Asha? Now that Brother Wasp is dead, I don’t have that many worries. Just tell me the truth.”

The thief's voice was almost hoarse, but it was still so clear, and he pronounced every word clearly.

"I don't want to depend on anyone..."

I replied calmly.

"I'm only loyal to myself."

Flying Squirrel’s Perspective:

Incredible girl.

Some girls who are scheming but very kind-hearted.

Pressing the hand that the girl had bandaged her palm before leaving...

She is completely different from Chijiu.

She is so cute with her silver hair and red eyes. If she gets too close, wouldn’t it make people want to cross the line unconsciously?

Recalling the feeling of his palm being held just now, the thief shook his head helplessly.

Akabato has a past where he was raped by a highwayman, which makes him cunning and cunning, but the little kitten in front of him is completely different.

She has not been contaminated yet, she is still as pure as a white lotus...

He didn't want this little girl to fall into the dark side like Chijiu. If it were her, she would need someone who could help her.

If I hadn't become like this... maybe I could hold this position.

The thief Momonga looked at his palm with only three fingers left and didn't know what to say.

"Are you kidding...she's just a little girl, what on earth am I thinking."

He knocked on the wall with his hand, and the bandage on the broken part of his finger was stained red again.

The thief frowned, but did not cry out. He had already endured punishment hundreds of times more painful than this, and he would not show his weak side because of this, even if no one saw it.

What's more important to him now is in the near future.

There is not enough time now.

The thieves organization and Duke Asha... no, Akagi and the noble forces.

If the stalemate continues between the two parties, the balance will definitely be broken.

At that time, what would happen to this city, or... the entire Gilkern?

The current monarch of Gilkern is incompetent, which seems a bit excessive. If it were in peacetime, he might still be regarded as a benevolent monarch.

However, it lacked quick action and leadership during the war, and now the entire Kingdom of Wind is like a piece of scattered sand. I guess if you don't care about it, you will eventually follow Garnet's footsteps.

At that time, the Empire and the Theocracy will work together to deal with the problem of the Orcs in the south and fight against the Demon King with them.

What Ikato thinks is absolutely correct. According to what Chris said, her purpose is to unite the orcs to first dominate Anatolia, and she can also use this power to go north and threaten the entire Gilkern. In this case, most of them The nobles will obey...and the king who has become the target of public criticism will also surrender. After all, he is just a man of such caliber.

Are you now standing at a divergent point in history?

Momonga smiled bitterly when he thought of this.

"If possible, I really don't want to hand over the Kingdom of Wind to that woman..."

After all, this is also my beloved motherland.

If the kitten doesn't want to obey, then he can become the king himself.

"There is a price to pay for being loyal to yourself..."

The thief thought of this and closed his eyes against the cold stone wall.

Even though the cell in the tower was so cold, he felt much better in his heart.It is said that many ancient warriors ended their glorious lives in prison. I wonder if they are still qualified to go to the Hall of Valor where the gods live?

"Leave it to fate to decide."

Maybe I can have a good dream today.

Chapter 112 112. The distance between us - 1

The matter with the thief Momonga is still going smoothly, and we are exchanging information every day. For some reason, he suddenly seemed to let down his guard and told me a lot of things, including who I need to pay attention to and be wary of.

According to what he said, Miss Lola under Chijiu must not be believed, but at the same time, when reporting to her, one should not show off her flaws. Miss Lola would come to the castle every week to ask about the progress of my mission.

"So you've already met Momonga."

"Yes, he said he didn't say anything."

"That guy is very cunning, so you can't believe everything he says... maybe he has united with the nobles."

Miss Lola seems very suspicious, but she doesn't seem to have a particular understanding of the overall information.Momonga had obviously been severely punished, and the nobleman Free who was interrogating him that day was gritting his teeth in hatred. That was not acting.

Fami also chopped off four of his fingers.

"The possibility is very low, he was severely punished." I asked tentatively. After hearing this, Miss Lola fell into thinking. She put her finger on her chin, and it took a long time before she looked up at me again.

"Is that so? If possible, I really want to take a look at his current situation... But if you do this, the nobles will notice it even if it doesn't arouse the Duke's suspicion. In short, you have to pay attention to the nobles, even now Asha The Duke has entrusted this task to you."

"Ok, I see."

"Then that's it for now. After discussion next week, I will tell you how to deal with Momonga next week."

"Um……"

Lola had already turned around and left before I could give my feeble reply. After greeting the Duke, she would probably return to the mercenary station to continue her usual work.

Now the thieves organization occupies the lower levels of the city, possessing the power of mercenary adventurers.

And the nobles sit in the upper class and have the power of the upper class and the knights...

This doesn't seem to be something I should worry about. I lie back on the wooden chair at my desk. There are almost no documents today.Interrogating Momonga too frequently would easily make the nobles suspicious, so I won't go there today.

Looking at the leaves gradually falling outside the window, I know that the hot summer is almost over, and it is now the end of September in the 242nd year of the Fire Dragon Calendar.

If you switch to the continental calendar, it is 249 years. If you use Gilkern's wind god calendar, it is 324 years. In fact, because of the destruction of Garnet, no one will use the fire dragon calendar anymore, but I still record this in my heart.

I suddenly remembered the time because I recently discovered something terrible.

I haven't grown taller at all recently, and neither have my breasts...

What happened to Veda appeared in my mind. Sir Riprestel once mentioned in his notes that Veda has stopped growing since she awakened the power of Undine, so it looks like They all look like children.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little scared.

My body obviously grew after meeting Salamander, but it stopped changing after the battle with Veda. Does this mean that I have experienced a similar awakening as hers?

My hair turned red and my body was filled with sparks. This is what I looked like after possessing the power of Salamander. According to what Veda said, I should be able to become stronger in the future... But so far, I have not been able to successfully summon Salamander again. The power of virtue.Obviously, it was as easy for Vida to do it as breathing.

If you don't learn to use this power early, you will be in trouble.

Does this body that has not regrown mean that I will always look like this 13-year-old girl?No...even if you want to live forever, don't stay at this age. Wait two more years. It would be better if you wait three or four more years!Don't stop at this time.

No matter what, it shouldn't be like this. The current body is weak and unable to fully grasp Salamander's power.Looking at his body, which was only as tall as the vase on the round stool, a feeling of unwillingness gradually emerged.

"There must be room left!"

By the way, eat more!Drinking more milk and exercising more will help you grow taller.

I already drank milk for lunch today. If I eat more, I will easily gain weight, so should the focus be on exercise?

"Okay, reconnaissance."

Every day now, I have not forgotten the training of genjutsu. I can really feel the increase in physical fitness. My jumping ability and running speed have increased. I think my reflexes have also been completely different in all aspects.

To the east under the castle, under the Tower of Sinners, is a training ground. The weather is not very hot now, so I plan to go there to practice my sword skills.

After arriving at the training ground, I saw Fami's figure. He was stunned for a moment when he saw me coming... I didn't know what to do myself for a moment. When I wanted to turn around and leave, the young man rushed up and grabbed me. My arms, although still moving roughly, are much less powerful than before.

"Chris, don't leave so soon..."

Listening to his sad voice, I stopped for some reason.

"Fami."

"We haven't talked properly for a long time, haven't we? Is there anything we can't talk about? If I did something wrong, tell me. Please, Chris!"

The young man's excitement made me not know how to respond.

Fami, does he really care about me?Although I can't adapt to his current coldness, he shows a gentle side to me from time to time.

Wouldn't this make me even more confused...

Looking at each other in silence can't solve any problem. If we don't speak to break the silence, the distance between us cannot be narrowed again.

Fami is very important to me now. Although I know that this feeling is more than a friend... but it has not reached the level of a lover. What's more, I don't know if I can really accept boys.

He pouted his lips, and his expression at this time must be very stubborn, just like the expression this wolf boy once showed.

I looked at the weapon rack on the side. Sharp weapons and blunt training blades were neatly placed on that rack. The weapon rack was neatly cleaned by servants every day. It seemed that no one had used it today.There were few knights competing with each other on the grass of the vast training ground. Everyone was on duty at this time.

After looking around, I focused my attention on Fami.
