Chris's Faith of Fire

Noelle nodded.

"Ever since I returned to Sestotia after meeting her, I have become accustomed to counting the passing carriages. Every week, the merchant carriages will appear on time on the Holy Sabbath, a total of 51 times. And the other As for the carriage of days, the Sun of Moon came twice, the Sun of Fire came three times, the Sun of Wind came once, and the Sun of Earth came four times.”

"What about the wedding day?" Taylor couldn't help but ask.

The young man shook his head at him.

"Not once. It seems that everyone never drives a carriage to the noble's mansion on the wedding day in order to avoid misunderstandings."

"...Haha...haha...then what?"

The originally serious man couldn't help but grin when the young master said it so seriously.

"And then she came."

"coming?"

"Yes, I gave her this ring as an engagement gift. One day this thing suddenly appeared on the fence in front of my garden."

Noelle said as he took out the ring hanging from his neck.

The silver light reflects the moonlight, and it can be seen that it is a beautiful ring.

"Did you get dumped?"

Faced with Taylor's joking words, Noelle did not answer directly. He raised his head, but quickly lowered it...

"Am I stupid? Even after I found out later that King Garnet broke the contract, I still waited like this. Even after I came to Grand Port, I still stood in front of the city gate every day and watched the passers-by, hoping to see something from it. Her figure clearly indicates that she may have died...or become someone else's wife or even become a slave..."

What Sylvie said came to mind again.

He has come to believe his sister's words more and more. If Chris really cared about him, why would she break the agreement?

Tears were rolling in the boy's eyes. He didn't want to cry. After all, the person beside him was neither his mother nor a tree hole, but a man he had just met for a few days.

Noelle has always been taught by his father that men should never cry easily... no matter what.

In the end, I couldn't help it, but my tears still dripped out and fell on the pebbles by the river.

He will definitely be laughed at, Noelle thought to himself, and he was already prepared to receive the ridicule.

But at this time, I only felt a cold metal on my forehead, but for some reason, it felt very warm.The middle-aged knight put his hand on the young man's golden head and stroked it gently.

"It's not stupidity. We give a fool in love another word to describe it."

"What word..."

"infatuation."

Noelle was stunned for a moment, then shrugged.

"What a nice word."

The two looked at each other and smiled, dismounted and walked in the mountain stream.

They didn't just embark on this journey to find Garnet's second princess.

The Dark Blue Knights are actually King Gilkern's army and have their own freedom of action...

Of course, they set out to the east of Grand Harbor not just to find traces of a subjugated princess, but more importantly, to form an alliance with the orcs.

Now the situation in Feiya Mountain has been endangered to the point where we have to rely on them. Not only there, but the power of the country is also threatened by various big nobles. Although Duke Asha in the south is a fool, his vassals But he is good at manipulating his master as a puppet.

If we don't get an alliance with the beasts before them, the royal power will be in danger.

Taylor brought these ten knights, thousands of gold coins, and many gifts unique to Gilkern to offer to the Orcs in exchange for assistance.

As for Noelle and Sylvie, Taylor wants to send them to the junction of Anatolia and the land of the beasts. The information has been given. He believes that these two young people have the ability to find the princess.

They cannot bear the risk of facing the Orcs.

If Princess Garnet can be found, it will be a great help to stabilize the Garnet refugees in the country.

Although Master Noelle looks delicate and slender, he is actually a man.

If a man doesn't even have this level of attachment when facing the woman he loves, what's the point of getting more money?

Most mercenaries end their careers single. Maybe they have met many women in their lives, but few can stop them.

Spend your life wandering for adventure?That's just a joke that only young people can tell.

Everyone will feel lonely when they get old, and it will be too late to regret it by then.

Taylor took off the gauntlet and looked at his left hand... The silver ring was firmly placed on the knight's little finger. It seemed a little tight and the size was a little small, just like what a woman had worn.

He quickly put on the armor again and thought about the boy in front of him again.

The Sahavir family is the vanguard of the kingdom, even if the head of the family dies in battle.

He will always become a great noble in his own right, shouldering the burden of the entire kingdom... And at that time, I hope you can still remember your infatuation, the precocious young master.

"Infatuated men are not bad, right? Sarah..."

The knight looked up at the twin moons that had risen.

At this time, his soldiers had already lit the fire. He patted the young man on the shoulder, turned around and walked to his companions.

Chapter 116 116. Expedition——2

The road ahead is long and the grassland has no end.

The scout stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. It was a virgin land where almost no humans had set foot. He carefully climbed down the mountain and turned around to tell his leader, who nodded.

Everyone extinguished the fires that had been used for camping last night, Taylor gave the order again, and the knights packed up their tents and continued on the expedition.

Noelle looked at the map. It looked like there was still a long mountain road to go.

Going east from Grand Harbor to the Hengyan Mountain that crosses the Wind Breathing River, the horses' iron hooves stepped on the smooth rocks, making the riders tremble. They didn't know if their horses could survive this trail.

Walking down Hengyan Mountain and following the river that turns around the mountain, you can see the junction between here and the grassland.

A few months ago, Noelle and her sister walked from the three-way intersection to Grand Harbor in the south. They passed by the tributary of the Wind's Breath River and met the grassland people. They raised their animal ears and raised their bows to greet them. The young girl finally had to put down her hands. Curiosity left in frustration.

This grassland called Parthia occupies a vast territory southeast of Gilkern. A piece of green blooms on the land of wind, with continuous hills and mountains. However, the beasts of Parthia have always lived at the foot of the mountains. In the small settlement, they are hospitable and often cut off the heads of their guests, so no stupid human dares to get close here.

"How many days will it take to get to Parthia?" Noelle asked the middle-aged knight beside him.

"In less than three days." The middle-aged knight replied. "But Master Noelle, you have to separate from us in front. You have to go a little further north to get to Anatolia."

As you follow this stream down, you can see that it joins the main trunk of the Wind's Breath River, winding upwards and demarcating the boundary with the south.

Noelle understood that they would part ways when they reached the foot of this mountain, and the knights fulfilled their promise.

He never thought that these people really wanted nothing more from him and Sylvie. Thinking of this, the young man looked at his sister. She was like a lone crow who was left behind. Could it be that she still cared about what happened before?

"Mr. Taylor, let me go to Sylvie's place first."

Thinking of this, Noelle turned his horse's head and wanted to ride in the direction of his sister. However, he first told the middle-aged knight beside him that the two days of journey had made him trust Taylor. This knight's The spirit penetrated the depths of his soul, showing noble brilliance from head to toe.

"Go, Master Noel, only you can calm Miss Sylvie's mood."

The words Taylor left seemed a little meaningful. Although Noelle felt that her mood was depressed because she said that silver hair did not match her sister that day, she didn't know why she was like this.

Because it reminded her of Chris?In the past, my mother always said not to praise other girls in front of girls, no matter how good the relationship is.To this day, Noelle still doesn’t understand what this sentence means.

In his heart, Chris is already the most perfect girl. She is gentle, brave, beautiful, cute, kind and lively.

The young man took it upon himself to attach these complimentary words to his crush, but little did he know that he had already beautified the girl with silver hair and red eyes because they hadn't seen each other for so long.

Hearing the sound of her brother's horse hooves approaching, Sylvie said nothing and did not run away on purpose.

She just walked forward in silence. She didn't seem to be very good at riding a horse. The white mount looked to the left and then to the right, ignoring the owner's reins. Sylvie was afraid of pulling the reins too tight. If the mount was frightened, she would probably leave the team and be the last person to leave this strange mountain range.

"Hi, good morning...Sylvie."

The boy who didn't know what to say came up and said hello awkwardly.

"..." My sister was different from usual, she didn't seem to treat him so enthusiastically.

"I'm so sorry about what happened before."

"what's up?"

"About me saying you're not cut out for silver hair."

"I don't care..."

Although she said this, the girl was still biting her lower lip. Taylor glanced here and smiled slightly.

What a stubborn girl.

"I mean, compared to silver hair, blonde hair suits you better, Sylvie... you are already very cute."

The girl's cheeks turned slightly red, but she blinked and stared at Noelle again with her big, strange-colored eyes.

"So who do you think is cuter, me or Chrissy?"

"Ugh……"

"..."

"I think you two are...cute."

"Hehe, stop lying, my silly brother..."

The answer was obvious the moment he hesitated.

"Sorry, Sylvie."

"It doesn't matter, I know what you're thinking. This is exactly why we traveled, right?"

"Silvi..."

Noelle didn't know what to say for a moment. He just wanted to apologize, but he didn't quite understand why he did it.

"Don't worry about this, Noelle, we are gradually approaching the bottom of the mountain."

"You don't seem to be good at riding a horse?"

"Because my father said girls shouldn't ride horses."

Sylvie's fighting skills were secretly learned while watching her father educate Noelle. She can still practice swordsmanship and magic by herself. However, the stables are always guarded by the butler August, so Sylvie can't take advantage of any loopholes. , and she herself doesn’t have much interest in equestrian.

"Please stop for a moment."

Noelle signaled, and the knights looked at Taylor. He nodded and the whole team stopped.

The young man stretched out his hand to his sister as an invitation.

"Ride on a horse with me."

Sylvie looked at him wordlessly, just showed a faint smile, took her brother's hand and jumped over it.

The extra horse was handed over to the porters on foot.

The sister hugged her brother's back tightly, unconsciously wanting to give him her whole body weight.

"Sylvie, can you relax a little?"

"Don't~"

His sister answered him succinctly.

◆ ◇

Walking down the mountain road, the next thing you face are the wild beasts on the plains.

The knights teased each other, no one knew what kind of fate they would face next.

Of course, they also understood the difficulty of this mission and agreed to embark on the journey.

"The people of the Parthian steppes are used to fortifying their borders, but today we didn't see any people."

Looking at the endless Parthia, Taylor only saw cattle and sheep. The border guards who had always been there in the past were nowhere to be seen today.

too weird.

He thought to himself, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Setting foot on this land without their consent would result in death, and Taylor knew this better than anyone.

"Last time they kept pointing bows and arrows at us."

Looking at the middle-aged knight talking to himself, Noelle spoke about his experience.

Taylor nodded, then raised his hand to signal the troops to stop.
