Chris's Faith of Fire

"Huh? What did you say..."

"Chest...chest..."

I whispered close to the girl, and she sneered after hearing it, with a winner's smile written all over her face.

"Knights don't take advantage of others. If you humbly ask for advice, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Please teach me! Teacher Alyssa!"

He immediately bent down and saluted, and the girl was startled by this sudden movement.

"You, are you really a princess..."

"That's right...a princess with small breasts, so please teach me how to enlarge breasts."

Seeing my sincere attitude, Alyssa scratched her cheek with her hand in embarrassment.

"Actually, it's nothing. Coconut milk is pretty good..."

"Is it really that?"

I remember Rebekah had told me before, but that person was actually an old Loli woman, and I don’t know if it was useful to have a different race.

And now that I have become the host of an elf, it seems that I will not grow older, but at least my breasts should still have room to grow, hey!Answer me quickly, Salamander!

However, the elf didn't respond...

Well, I want to learn to be a loli and become a loli old woman in the future, if this is my destiny.

"Why does Chris have such a tragic expression on her face?"

"Nothing...by the way, where are we going now?"

"Of course we're going to Parthia, the land of the beasts. You said this would make them extremely grateful to us and help them get help, right?"

"But considering the distance from Anatolia to Parthia, it only takes half a day if you go straight..."

The girl patted the sword placed on the seat. It was said that it was the secret treasure of the beast tribe. They tried hard to get it, but they didn't know why it fell into the hands of humans.

Thinking of this, Chris seemed to understand why they were taking a detour.

"You will be shot if you casually break into the border of the beast tribe. Only by walking slowly from the main road can you get a chance to talk, and we need to find a translator who can speak the language of the beast king. There are many such people near Hengyan Mountain... We need to take a detour up to Hengyan Mountain and go in through the path under the cliff..."

"Sure enough."

The thief who was mistaken for the secret treasure was in trouble. Thinking of this, Chrissy was imagining the perfect conversation method in her head. The orcs were said to be brave and strong, and would not owe anyone any favors, but they would not forget hatred. Every word of hers You have to be careful with your words.

"And we don't know when the people from Anatolia will catch up. We need to find a place to abandon the carriage."

You can't be sure if it will be betrayed if it is passed on to a businessman. After all, it is a carriage belonging to a security regiment, and it has many features that are not difficult to distinguish.

"Just at the next intersection, abandon the carriage to the north side of the road, and then we'll ride a little further north to make them think we're going there."

Fami said from the front.

"No, put it next to the Wind's Breath River in the south...the river in this area is very shallow, making them think we are crossing the river to Parthia from here."

I rejected Fami's idea. It was naturally impossible to go north with the secret treasure of the beast clan. I mistakenly made them think that if we crossed the river from here, we could use the power of the beast clan to eradicate the pursuers.

"I agree with Chrissy, too."

Alyssa finally agreed with my opinion.

"You're right, I didn't think it through clearly just now, so just do what Chris said."

After saying that, we abandoned the carriage and just rode forward. The surroundings were covered with weeds, and the traces of the horses' hooves did not seem to be so obvious. We wrapped the horses' hooves with cloth and moved forward for a few miles before returning. Main road.

At this time, who rode the same horse with whom became a point of contention.

"Fami is my attendant! Of course he rides with me, and my riding skills are not very good..."

"No, it's precisely because of this that I have to give you a chance to exercise, otherwise you will never be able to ride a horse well!"

"We are running for our lives right now. Can we wait until we feel a little more stable before we talk about this kind of thing?"

"I am obviously thinking about you, Your Highness!"

He said the honorific, but there was no respect at all in his tone. This happened not once or twice. Alyssa kept arguing with me. It was really hateful.

"Ah ah ah, please stop arguing."

""you shut up! ""

Only at such times do they speak in unison.

The final decision was that Alyssa and I would ride on the same horse...

"hateful……"

"That's enough, Your Highness Princess, I'm not happy with it either."

"Humph……"

I don’t want to waste time arguing, but the scenery in front of me is particularly attractive to me.

To the north of us is the large forest leading to the Sancha Road, and to the south is the thin grassland facing Parthia. Fami reminds us to stay away from the river. The orcs regard the Wind's Rest River as their own resource. , if you see a human being so close, you will definitely shoot him.

From a distance, the snow-capped top of Hengyan Mountain to the west looks very close, but in fact we are still two or three days away.

I'm going to rest in the town here today.

Before dismounting, Fami threw a cloak to each of us. We are wanted criminals now. I don’t know if the wanted news has reached this town, but there is no harm in being careful.

Entering the town, the place seemed a bit desolate, with a stable at the entrance.

We spent dozens of Aprils to keep the horses here.

The city center is a well, without even a decent square, but there are some small mercenary stations. Fami stretched out his right arm to block us, and then went in alone.After about a moment he came out and nodded to us.

"There is no wanted warrant for us here yet. You can go in. It seems those guys are not moving fast enough."

"That's fine."

Mercenaries can rent a room at a mercenary house at a very cheap price, but considering that a wanted order was coming at any time, we finally chose another hotel.

The place we finally decided on was located on the edge of town. Although the rent was a bit expensive, it was close to the stables and easy to escape at night.But the bad thing is...the money we bring now can only afford to rent a room, even if it's just for two days.

"I heard that the journey from Hengyan Mountain to Parthia takes at least three days. If we don't prepare rations, we will starve to death..."

"Catch wild animals in the mountains."

Alyssa's words made Fami shake her head.

"Beasts are not that easy to catch, and there are a lot of bad things in the meat. You will easily get sick if you eat them."

"How did Fami know?"

"I was alone all the way from the fork in the road to Anatolia."

"I see……"

The boy is completely different from before. His life experience is far better than ours, and he has also gotten rid of his bad habit of stealing.

After we rented the room, new problems arose.

Of course there is only one bed here, and the floor is made of slate...it's cold and unclean, and the table and chairs in the corner of the room cannot be put together to sleep on.

If we are staying for ten days and a half, we can consider adding an extra bed or buying a canvas or something to lay on the floor. However, for us who are staying for three to five days, the cost is too high and it will slow down the overall progress.

It seems that we must sleep together tonight.

This time, the three of them did not spend time on this, but chose to discuss future strategies and sleep until night came.

The rent was 20 April per day, but our pockets were already empty because we had to pay three days' worth in advance.

It would cost several hundred Aprils to collect food rations and thick cotton-padded clothing for hiking.

A subordinate commission usually costs more than 10 Aprils.

In fact, lower level does not mean that it is easy, but there is often no fighting... Catching kittens and puppies can easily drive people crazy. Compared with this kind of low-paying and troublesome task, it is better to go to the foot of the mountain and kill a few goblins. Much simpler.

"Then let's start the combat meeting."

"Combat meeting?" Alyssa was puzzled.

I looked at her and said, "Yes, considering that we have to be cautious in every move we make in the future, it's best to make a plan."

"It makes sense...but even if there is an accident, I will solve them all."

Fami raised his eyebrows and emphasized the word "solve", which sounded particularly courageous.

"Thank you, it's great to have you here, my little wolf."

"Ahem~" Alyssa didn't seem to like me calling Fami this way, and she coughed a few times.

I picked up a stone and started drawing on the slate floor.

"The most important thing in our actions now is the purpose. We must prioritize."

"Priority?" Alyssa wondered again. She didn't seem to be a thinking person.

I raised my air glasses.

"Yes, it is the so-called motive. Only with this can we have the driving force and avoid going further down the wrong path. I think the first thing we need to do is to unify the motive. Let's talk about it. What are you doing for Why did you embark on this journey, Fami, tell me first!"

I pointed at Fami. He paused, touched his chin with his finger, and hesitated for a long time.

"My words are to protect Chris..."

"You have to tell me your deepest motives! Fami, tell me your deepest desires!"

"Desire? This..." He looked at me mid-sentence, and then his cheeks turned red.Don't think about strange things, my little wolf.

Fami thought about this for a long time, and finally a sentence popped out of his mouth.

"I want to become a normal person, but I also want power far beyond that of ordinary people... There is someone I have to defeat."

"...referring to Lotus?"

Fami nodded silently.

Does he really resent Lian...Lian saved his life and gave him more power.

Of course, I also understand that I cannot think in this way. After all, Fami also has his own values.

After losing his brother and having all his friends in his hometown slaughtered by demons, he couldn't accept that he had become a half-demon.

"I understand. Just work hard on this goal first. Then what does Alyssa want to do..."

"I want to revive my family, and I also hope to find strong people to join me..."

After saying that, she glanced at Fami again from the corner of her eye, "That's enough for you."

Draw a circle on the floor and write the word "PURPOSE" on it.

"Then let me tell you my motive. It turned out that I wanted to help Lian find the hero and save the world from the Demon King, but now this idea has changed. I still want to find the hero, but I don't want to use that anymore. It’s an inefficient method, and it’s still being exploited..."

Speaking of which, both of them swallowed their saliva. Alyssa already knew Akabato's name. We fully exchanged information during the journey. Akabato wanted to become the lord of Anatolia, and I wanted to take it away. Her trump card, the secret treasure of the orcs, was exchanged for the army.

"If you have the secret treasure of the beast clan, you can get the assistance of the beast clan. This is what a cadre of the thieves organization told me. I will also get my own army to resist the devil and eventually revive my country."

"Reviving the country? Don't you think it's too far away..." Alyssa didn't seem optimistic.

"The so-called goal should not be concerned about the distance, but should have such a thing in the heart, such an ideal that cannot be forgotten. Fami, help me, after I become the queen, I will let the best therapist in the world help you Lift the curse, Alyssa...You too, I will regain the land of Garnet and make you a great noble..."

"...I don't know how many years it will take."

"But I think it's much faster to move up the ranks than if you were working in the Guard Corps."

"That's right..."

This is our most basic thing and determines the fundamental strategic goal of our actions.

Now I am no longer confused.

Becoming frank and brave, is this the reason why Salamander recognized him?

I just feel that sometimes my thoughts are completely different from those in the past, and there will no longer be so many differences. There is only a straight road in front of me. I will jump and raise my legs to avoid obstacles on the road, but I won’t Choose to take a detour.

"In order to achieve this goal, of course we must start with the most basic thing, that is, the army... The thief cadre told me that this thing can be exchanged for the loyalty of the orcs."

Pointing to the long sword, I continued.

"I'm not sure what the purpose of this sword is. It looks gorgeous, but it feels too light and dull... It's just a decoration. It's hard to imagine that the orcs would devote their loyalty to this."

Fami's suspicion was certainly justified, and I didn't believe it either.

"That's right...so we have to be cautious and pay attention to our words when the time comes. The orcs are a very troublesome nation."
