Chris's Faith of Fire

She is a mixture of elf and human, that is, half elf... but her characteristics do not seem obvious. Lian remembers seeing her once 300 years ago, of course it was only in the background story.

While smiling, Patricia stretched out her hand to indicate that Lian could sit in the seat in front of her.

The young man sat down with snacks and black tea in front of him, and the overflowing fragrance spread into Lian's nose.

"Your Majesty Cardinal Patricia, it is a great honor for you to take time out of your busy schedule to see me."

The clear female laughter sounds very elegant, but it also has a bit of irony.

"Your name has spread throughout the city, demon-slaying warrior~ I'm still wondering whether to regard you as a warrior."

She didn't mention Lian's name at all, it felt like she was deliberately avoiding it.Lian felt that things were not going well, but still tried to show her most natural side.

"I am not worthy of being called a brave man, Lord Bishop, otherwise there would be no need to embark on this journey."

"I heard that you killed more than 150 Larken Kraken?"

"It's true... I am a true citizen of Nefera, and I don't claim to be so."

He needs the support of his name, but otherwise there is no bargaining chip with this beautiful cardinal.

"This adds to the credibility. There are no soldiers under my command who have failed to do this. Your bravery can indeed be worthy of the title of brave."

Heroes are more than this. They are invulnerable, and their long swords tear through all darkness. Even the Four Heavenly Kings are no match for the braves.

Brave people are the strategic weapons of salvation.

Lian wanted to refute him face to face...but he gave up the idea after noticing the faint smile on the corner of Patricia's mouth.Sure enough, you don’t remember me?Although Lian herself was not sure, after all, it was just a background set 300 years ago. It was something that she occasionally saw in "The Sky of Gods". The real world was already in front of her. Naturally, Lian didn't know whether this woman remembered 300 years ago. It was so long ago that it was too slim to hope that this friendship would bring anything to the negotiations.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I wonder what the purpose of Master Lian's visit is? We don't have any brave men here, and there shouldn't be any in the empire, otherwise we would have found them long ago."

Listening to her tone, the young man had a bad premonition. Patricia had already guessed that Lian was not here for the brave, so the aid must have been guessed as well. A wise woman like her said This kind of statement is obviously testing yourself.

"Your Excellency, the Bishop, you should know that Garnet is now being baptized by the flames of war. The power of the Demon King's Army is blooming like a flower of evil in Rodculosaint. Now even the southernmost part is under threat from them. "

"So, Master Lian is here to ask for reinforcements?"

"Exactly..."

"May I ask who you serve?" asked the bishop.

"I served Garnet's second princess, Crystal Rubiel Macefield."

"I need you to show me a token."

The youth shook his head.

"Looking for help is out of my personal wish. Originally, Her Royal Highness Crystal had a chance to meet you... but..."

Lian was halfway through speaking, then raised his face to look at the cardinal in front of him.He shouldn't tell her everything he knows, Lian secretly thought, Patricia is very smart and has enough experience, and lying in this kind of conversation will cause her to have a crisis of trust in herself.

"The conversation has reached a stalemate. Let me ask another question. Is Garnet's second princess still alive? Most of the information I heard says she is dead."

"I went south from Agat to Mount Fia with her, and then we separated..."

"Why didn't you take the princess with you and go here? Neferait would be safer." The long black hair fluttered in the breeze. After speaking, the bishop took a sip of tea and waited for the young man's response.

"Her Royal Highness Crystal is engaged to the young master of the Shahavier family, and the bishop must know about it."

"Of course, I was supposed to be a witness to their wedding, but I heard that King Kane of Garnet broke up the engagement unilaterally, and the marriage couldn't happen. And since the Demon King's army appeared in Rod Cullo Saint, it must have happened. The matter is inseparable from King Kane.”

The bishop's eyes were sharp, and she was suspicious of the young man in front of her. Patricia was saved by a person named Lian when she was young. She still remembers it, but she no longer knows the other person's appearance. 300 years have passed. Everything, in the background setting of "God Sky", Lian once saved her, but now it seems that this kindness is not that important. As the cardinal of Neferrait, Patricia's first priority is to protect this land. Holy Land, apart from this land, the Empire and Neferait depend on each other. Both sides are in despair and cannot act rashly.

Lian waited for Patricia to finish speaking, then raised her lips slightly. He was not omniscient and omnipotent... Do you want to reveal all the information you heard from Chris?The so-called negotiation is something that can bring benefits to both parties. Sending troops now is not enough for the Holy See.

"King Kane's temperament changed drastically in a short period of time. Some people think that this is a demon possessed. What I know is that his palace wizard Mihir is still on the run, and is probably still in Garnet. She may know the brave man traces."

After hearing this, Patricia seemed to be interested. She stood up, her white dress moving slightly with her steps.

"Sage Mihir? It's not impossible. If she really knows where the hero is, it's not worth sending troops. But all of this is just your guess, Lord Lian."

"Of course, no one has definite news at this time, but once you lose it, you will regret it..."

"Even so, I alone cannot represent the whole people." The bishop folded his slender legs and picked up the black tea with one hand. "Actually, we have a cardinal who went to the Northern Continent to understand the situation. His name is Zachary Harold. He is highly respected, pious and trustworthy. In order to unite the remaining nobles of Garnet to fight against the Demon King, he went alone regardless of our opposition. Heading to the Northland...but now, he is missing and hard to find."

Lian suddenly became uneasy when he heard the name. He still remembered what happened in Rosa Town.

But this momentary reaction didn't seem to escape Patricia's eyes.

"You seem to know about this?"

The flaw has been exposed, Lian does not dare to continue lying.

"Yes, I met him in Rosa Town. He was kind and kind... He should have been Garnet's last hope, but he lost his life because of the local devil worshipers incident."

"So that's how it is. It's really sad... I watched that child grow up. He was just an ordinary human being. When I first saw him, the child was only 10 years old. He was kinder and cuter than anyone else. He died holding his hands in his hands. He cried bitterly over the corpse of a small bird. This did not change even when he became an adult. He was more active than anyone else... He ate and discussed with the nobles too many times and ended up with that bloated and annoying appearance, but It’s such a shame that he’s still one of the bravest among us.”

There was a tear in the corner of Bishop Patricia's eyes, but she soon returned to her original expression.

"Thank you for telling me this, Lady Lian Arcade... You didn't lie to me, so I'm grateful."

"Do you really remember me?"

"Of course, although your appearance is blurry, I will never forget your name...the son of the brave man and the Demon King, the man who passed by my hometown 300 years ago and saved my life."

Patricia remembered this, and also knew that the Holy See had persecuted Lian's mother, the Brave Sonia... She sometimes thought about whether this person still hated the Holy See, but the young man who appeared in front of her was the real deal... The bishop looked at him and smiled, taking out the magic stone from his body and placing it on the table. The huge amount of magic energy was instantly felt by Patricia.

She stretched out her hand to indicate that it was enough, and Lian immediately put the small piece of stone back into her pocket.

"The Demon King's army has the giant monster Behemoth that can easily cross the sea of ​​fog. If they break through the last line of defense in the south, they will definitely cross the sea and plunder this city."

The words of the half-demon are fully convincing, and of course they may be a trap. At Patricia's age, she already knows not to believe them easily, although the young man in front of her does not have the air of a liar.

But she remained cautious.

"We are also very worried, but my thoughts can only speak for myself. If the remaining cardinals do not agree, nothing will happen."

"So what's the rest of it?"

"It's not optimistic...Jacob is a die-hard, he can't change his mind. Although Hals is wavering, if the outcome of Zachary's matter is known to him, he will probably be conservative."

"Is that so..."

Lian felt a little disappointed.

This matter is imminent. He knows that his words are not exaggerated. Hei Yao is the most cunning and dangerous demon king in history. Her attack method will never be as gentle as the demon kings in the past, giving humans a chance to breathe. Her existence seems to In order to exterminate all living things on the earth, deep resentment burst out from her body... Deep ravines were once drawn on the surface of Eogard.

Now we must ask for the power of the Holy See, and the Empire is also cooperating with them... As long as we get the assistance of Neferrait, the Empire will be no problem. The power of the leader of the army is the only one that can deter the devil at the moment.

Bishop Patricia has made her stance abundantly clear…

It was not that there was no room for it, but the intentions of the other two bishops became the biggest problem, and Lian wanted to mediate between them.

That day he returned along the same path, and the two knights let go of their spears. He crossed the long aisle and saw who Haggar seemed to be quarreling with.

Lian hurried over.

Hager and the child both looked at the young man in front of them. The child seemed to have no idea that this beautiful woman would be an accomplice of the strong man.

"What happened, Haggar!"

It wasn't until Lian spoke that the boy realized that the man in front of him was a man.

He wanted to speak, but the strong man beat him to it.

"Boss Lian, I just saw this boy being stopped by knights several times while he was walking back and forth in front of the door. Seeing that he looked hungry and tired, I bought him something to eat. Who knew that this boy was not only ungrateful but also insisted on asking for something to eat?" Isn’t it funny that I brought him into this?”

"No way... I have something very important to see Lady Patricia!"

"Where can the Cardinal meet you little brat!"

"You just said that your companion has gone in, just bring me a letter, that'll be fine..."

The boy was out of breath after saying a few words. He seemed uncomfortable with yelling, but he was forced to do so out of some sense of mission.He had to see the Cardinal for some reason, but it was probably just a personal matter...

Lian took the letter from the young man's hand. There was no family seal stamped on it... Presumably the cardinal would not accept this kind of letter.

"This letter is..."

"It's Garnet's Holy Sword Princess! Ladia asked me to bring it to Patricia...it was supposed to be brought to her by 'Spider', but halfway..."

The young man's eyes were filled with tears when he said this. Lian didn't know who the spider was, but if what the young man said was true, he would be justified in asking for help.

"Don't worry, tell me the details quickly!"

"Uh-huh!"

The boy's name is Ollie.

This boy had been with Ladia all the time. They walked all the way from Rodculu Saint to the territory of Duke Lebal, which was where Lian took a detour to protect Chris. He admired the Princess of the Holy Sword very much. Later, because she was worried about Ollie's safety, Ladia sent him to the relatively safe Neferait alone. The snakehead "Spider" who escorted Ollie took away the boy's wallet and ran away. Knowing where he is now... So Ollie is now eager to see Cardinal Patricia to complete his mission.

It wasn't until Lian understood everything that she realized how small the world was.

Chris met Lian and was safe, but the boy was completely different. He and Ladia escaped death.In the middle he also mentioned another name.

"Fami..."

"Eh? Does eldest brother know my brother?"

Lian didn't want to lie to him, but he remembered that Fami had turned against him before, so he nodded abruptly.

"He is safe now, and his skills have improved. He will definitely open up a world of his own in this continent."

"Ah, that's great...Thank you, Brother Lian!"

The naive Ollie didn't ask any more questions. He was easily satisfied. After knowing that his brother was fine, he immediately cheered and his stomach growled again.

"I am giving this letter to Lady Patricia. It would be better to say thank you sincerely."

The young man showed a shy smile. If you look carefully, he is just a little boy about 10 years old. His hair is light brown, his face is stained with dust and mud, and his clothes are in tatters. No wonder the knights keep stopping him.

"Then, Hager, I'll leave him to you. You guys find a good place to have something to eat...I'll go back to find Lady Patricia."

"Thank you, big brother!"

The young man returned with the token. He rushed back to the cathedral and walked through the corridor regardless of the knight's stop...

I have long heard that the Princess of the Holy Sword is Cardinal Patricia's beloved disciple. If it is written in her own hand, I should be able to recognize it.

Lian secretly thought that if she had acted quickly, Patricia's cup of tea might not have been finished yet.

Chapter 131 131. The Holy Sword Queen’s initial strategy

"So, you easily convinced the remaining two bishops?"

Ladia was sitting on the throne in the hall. She was wearing a lord's coat, and her long silver hair fell softly on the seat. Her front hair slightly covered half of her eyes.

She is just like a grown-up Chris, Lian thought to herself.

"Yes, although Bishop Patricia did not come in person, we brought 500 knights of the order, and the empire quickly assisted with 5000 soldiers."

Lian brought Oli and Hagar to the city of Lybal, led by the order knights and imperial soldiers. When they arrived, the battle between Ladia and the black knights had ended. The young man's actions could not help but make people feel that it was a long time coming. It was late, but Ladia was still very grateful to God for sending them to her at this time.

At this time, Lian also revealed his experiences along the way, except that he was a half-demon.

It sounds like everything goes smoothly without any obstacles, but this is indeed not a simple process, but Lian does not express this difficulty.Cardinal Patricia immediately recognized that the handwriting was written by a calligrapher, and immediately planned to convene a council, but Cardinal Jacob was still unwilling to provide assistance. When he mentioned the disappearance of Zachary, everyone present Everyone turned pale.At the second meeting, Patricia took Lian with her... The three cardinals were all wearing blood-like robes at this time. When Zachary was mentioned again, Lian bluntly said that he was dead, because he was dead. That's why you need help, otherwise the demon army will be unstoppable.

The angry bishop asked Lian who he was. He took off the magic stone that had been placed in his pocket. In an instant, a dark atmosphere enveloped the center of the council, and the bishops and priests were shocked.

"I am Lian Arkad, son of Sonya. The Holy See has committed crimes against my mother, but I still fight for humanity."

The declaration intensified the tension in the Holy See. They all remembered the ancestors who massacred the brave men to seize the holy sword together, but the man in front of them was a true citizen of Nefera. He would not die and could easily kill everyone here.At the same time, the eldest of the three cardinals, Patricia, stood on his side. At this time, the other cardinal, Harris, suddenly understood the situation and turned to Patricia.

"The Paladins will begin their glorious journey of slaying demons in the North."

Taking this sentence as a starting point, their sailing ship moved towards the northern continent.

"Your arrival has really relieved my urgent need. If we only rely on these 1000 people, the demons will not be able to counterattack. Thank you very much, Lord Lian."

Latiya said that now she still has the self-confidence of a king even in a downcast place.

"Your Majesty, even with these warriors, I don't think we should counterattack the demons. They are too strong... I only heard about the battle on Mount Feas almost yesterday. Duke Sahavil was captured alive, and the rest of the people died in the battle, including mine. Father, Duke Lebar.”

She noticed that the woman standing next to the throne spoke. She had shiny blond hair and said that she was her father... Then she was the daughter of Lealbar. I remember Chris once said that they had a close relationship with the Lealbar family. Bad, but now this girl is willing to stay by her side... The young man is afraid that she has ulterior motives.

"Of course it won't be now. We should unify the remaining families and decide whether to stay or go later. For us, the number of ships is not enough now, so we can only transport them in batches. But if the demons invade at this time, we will be completely defeated. "

No one can guarantee when they will come. Ladia knows better than anyone that the Black Knight is only temporarily defeated and may come back at any time, even with a large army. This time he will not be scared away by a little light.

Besides, the necklace had already broken.

"It was my lack of consideration, Your Majesty..." Ingrid took a step back, realizing that she should not deny the monarch's idea in front of the guests.

At the same time, the girl noticed Ren's gaze and immediately introduced herself.

"Ingrid is my name, Lady Lian."
