Chris's Faith of Fire

"It's okay, we are a team."

The girl smiled and looked at Fami.

The corners of our mouths all curved.

Yes, we are also a team with great chemistry.

Chapter 135 135. Reputation and career path——4

Although this battle can be described as an overwhelming advantage, the process was thrilling.

We cleared away the remaining harpies. Without their leader, their movements became sluggish. They screamed and were burned to charcoal by my fireball.

Even with such an overwhelming battle, my palms were still sweating, and my whole body was almost losing strength and shaking.

Experience is very important for warriors. I once saw this sentence in a book.

New recruits often die from weakness and hesitation. The atmosphere of the battlefield, the raised dust, and the smell of blood in the air, the unknown is the biggest enemy.Human fear often comes from the unknown.

But facing death can scare even veterans.

The wizard girl trembled, and Alyssa helped her ride on a horse.

Soldier Ryder briefly expressed his thanks to us, and then we left this place of trouble and returned to the town.

When we arrived at the town, the dusk sky had gradually turned the earth into orange, and the light source fell below the horizon.In a world without high-rise buildings, we can see very far, and the clover grass blown by the north wind on the mountainside can also be seen from this distance. Just looking at this scenery can't help but make people feel tired, as if The day's hard work is over, go back and rest early.

The laughter in our lives is generated by conversations between people.

Tonight, three adventurers took us to the best tavern in town for a drink.

"Thank you very much. I am Ryder, a homeless mercenary with no surname. They are Gillian and Firmina. They are my companions who live and die together. Thank you very much. Only now It seems a bit late to say this, but please accept this small tribute."

Ryder took out a bag that made a jingling sound from his body. From the sound, it probably contained silver coins. The heavy weight that fell on the wooden table seemed to make many people look here. This guy really doesn't know how to read the atmosphere. ah.

I looked at Fami and then at Alyssa.

The eyes of the two people have not changed from beginning to end. The money may be enough for us to walk through Hengyan Mountain, but I know there are better options.

I pushed the purse back.

"Sorry, we can't accept it."

"Huh? Why, you saved our lives, this is natural, right? Since I am a mercenary, I also know the rules..."

Ryder also looked at his companion and replied.

In my opinion, it is not a good idea to repay the favor immediately after receiving help from others, especially for life-saving things. It is really lack of sincerity to repay with money immediately. In the future, our actions will start from these people, so I think Let them owe me more.

"Mr. Ryder, my name is Chris, and this is Fami and Alyssa."

I don't want to use pseudonyms when facing these three people. They don't seem to be sophisticated. If I am too cautious, it will have the opposite effect.

"We originally planned to cross Hengyan Mountain, but we didn't expect to meet you. We just saw you helping us... If this requires a lot of money in return, then we are really underestimated."

I felt my eyebrows raised slightly, showing a slightly angry look, but the man in front of me really seemed to flinch because of my look in my eyes, and he obediently put his money bag back.

"Sorry, we actually judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."

"It doesn't matter. You must still be panicking when you encounter such a terrifying enemy. In fact, we are also scared."

"Ms. Chris, are you too? Master Fami's martial arts skills are superb. He was able to decapitate the thunder owl who had a bounty of several gold coins on his head. I have never seen a young man who can use a sword so neatly."

Ryder stared straight at Fami, a gaze that even the wolf boy felt was a little too hot.

"We are from Garnet, and I once learned from the swordsmen of the Salamander regiment." Fami dealt with the soldiers according to what I had said to him before. Of course, a boy who hates the power of demons would not say that his power comes from the vampire curse. of.

"Salamande Group! So that's what it is..."

"Then, the other two adults are..."

The half-wizard girl next to Ryder, as I mentioned just now, is called Gillian. She looks thin and delicate when wearing the wizard hat, but now that she takes off the hat, you can clearly see her long and beautiful figure. She has a freckled but still cute face and flaxen hair hanging on her shoulders.

The girl was timid, but she focused her eyes on me. I remembered that she was also a flame magician, so she seemed to be interested in my Salamander's power. This could be used in turn.

"My master, you are in a little trouble. Have you heard the name of Sage Mihir?"

"Lord Mihir! The legendary great wizard of the encyclopedia!"

"Is my teacher that famous?"

"What are you talking about, Miss Chris! There are only a handful of great wizards in the entire continent. Anyone who is a wizard should have heard about it! By the way, where is she now?"

The girl's eyes almost went straight, and she almost stood up to show her surprise. However, after being reminded by her orc friend, she bowed her head and apologized to maintain her etiquette.

"Sorry, my companion was rude..."

The orc girl apologized to me, her ears twitching slightly. Are these cat ears?But there are three more tufts of short hair on each ear.

I thought she would be the impulsive one, but this beast girl may be the calmest among the three.

"It's okay. Teacher, she is missing. I'm looking for her too."

"That's it."

"I didn't expect that all of you are from famous families. It's really rude."

"No, unlike them, I am just a knight from a down-and-out family." Alyssa returned, and she seemed a little unhappy when she said this.

"Sorry, I apologize for being rude."

"If you can, please don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. We met because of fate. This is a happy thing."

I interjected, saying that I have become much more eloquent now, and I wonder if it has something to do with Akagi.

"Then, let's drink this cup together first."

"Yes, respect you."

"cheers."

"To Lady Nefera."

""cheers! ""

There are not many people going up the mountain at this time. Even I noticed the loopholes in my lies, but it seems that the three of them did not notice this and risked their lives to save themselves. There are very few such good people in themselves, let alone Not to mention a stranger.

I had planned this, but of course the result was far beyond my expectation. It can be said to be a blessing from God.

Originally, I just hoped to find someone who could form a team, so that we could rely on them to complete the commission without increasing our own reputation. After all, the mercenaries often only praised the captain, and they didn't particularly care when they saw us three children.

But I understand that this is only a matter of time. Things about our stay here will be easily exposed. Akaba is not a fool, and neither are the nobles of Anatolia. They are all people with strong actions.

So with these points in mind, the plan changed.

One of the three is an orc, and apart from her, it seems that the warrior Ryder and the wizard girl are not good at thinking calmly. After all, if they were good at it, they would not rush to dangerous places impulsively.

We drank and chatted while my mind was spinning new plans.

I am more interested in talking than drinking. What I need now is the rationality that can distinguish what should be said and what should not be said. At this time, the identity of a girl is quite useful.

"Would you like another drink, Miss Chrissy?"

"No, I have a bad ability to drink...Fami, you drink for me."

Fami took the cup without saying a word and drank it. The ale here was much better than that of the mercenary place, more mellow and fragrant, so it was easy to drink even for a young man, but Fami still wrinkled while swallowing. frown.

"Haha, little brother, why did you drink it all in one go? You really listened to Miss Chrissy's words. Are you lovers? It's difficult to be obedient to the last step, hahaha."

After two glasses of wine, Ryder had already put down his guard and restraint to mingle with us, and when he was enjoying himself, he would start talking dirty to Fami.

"Of course, Fami is my knight~"

"Chris..."

"By the way, since Miss Chris is Master Mihir's disciple, she must not have an ordinary background." The young wizard still refused to give up on this question. People who use magic are like researchers and like to get to the bottom of things. After all, magic is a technology He is more interested in learning, and the more he learns, the stronger his abilities become.

"Jillian, Garnet was destroyed because of the Demon King's army. Regarding family matters, I still..."

"I'm so sorry!" As a result, she apologized very forcefully. This girl is probably not good at communication.

"It doesn't matter. I think I'm quite happy today. Everyone just needs to focus on drinking and chatting."

"Miss Chris is right, I heard that you want to go through Hengyan Mountain?"

The orc girl Firmina noticed the core of the problem.

"Yes." Fami was a little drunk, but it seemed that nothing would go wrong. "We are going to Parthia."

"Parthia? That's mine...that's the land of the beasts. It's very dangerous for humans to go there!"

"Of course I understand, but we need to ally with the Orcs."

"An alliance?" Fermina's eyes showed a hint of astonishment. "Why, although I'm sorry to ask about this matter, Miss Chris, you must also know the relationship between orcs and humans. Not everyone lives with humans like me, and most people hate humans. Feng The people of the grasslands have been fighting for thousands of years, and this hatred cannot be resolved by three people, no matter how famous your families are..."

"What if it's Garnet's Princess of Fire."

"Varied!"

"Chrissy!"

"What are you thinking……"

Needless to say, Fermina was surprised, Ryder sobered up, the wizard girl's eyes widened in fright, and even Alyssa and Fami were startled.

"This……"

This is different from what was promised. I know what Alyssa wants to say.

Both of them were puzzled by the fact that their identity was exposed after just speaking a few words to them, but I think these people are trustworthy.

There is nothing to say, try your luck and start with the best result. It may not be achieved but sincerity can increase the possibility.

Of course I will also keep a secret and let Fami monitor them. The thieves organization has taught me a lot.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

"Ah."

"Ok."

The soldier paid for the drink, and after handing over Lei Xiao's head, he made a huge profit. When he took out his money bag, he seemed to think of something.

The money was turned down by us just now, so he was naturally apologetic. It was Fami who killed the demon. As a warrior, nothing touches the bottom line of self-esteem more than this.

"As expected, we still have to give you half of the reward! No... considering the life-saving grace, even all of it is not enough."

"Our topic is back to the beginning, Mr. Ryder. We just met by chance, not for the gold."

"Can……"

"If you can help me, it will go a lot further than this generation of money."

"I understand……"

We marched back to our accommodation.

Six people crowded the small room until there was no room to sit down.

◆ ◇

"Then let's begin."

The purpose of the cocktail party is to heat up the atmosphere, but this kind of occasion with a business atmosphere requires everyone to be awake.

I was prepared to tell everything to these three people, and at the same time, I whispered to Fami, letting him be prepared to even deal with these three people when the situation was bad.

Our strength should be completely superior to theirs, but the beast girl is quick in movement, so we need to pay attention when we really fight.

"Okay, can I ask questions first?"

The wizard girl Jillian is still timid when speaking.

"Excuse me, Miss Gillian~"

"Miss Chris is the rumored Holy Sword Princess?"

"No, that's my sister~"

"Really... I don't know much about the affairs of the Garnet family."

I obviously know Mihir but not me, so I don’t need to worry about my identity being exposed at all.

Speaking of which, I have always kept my silver hair, but no one asked me about my identity. The Duke seemed to think of it a little bit... but he quickly stopped taking it seriously.

"Well, I don't know how to prove it, but the silver hair and red eyes are not fake at all. Miss Gillian is a wizard, so you should be able to tell that this is not an illusion."
