Chris's Faith of Fire

"Then I'll go with Fami, and Miss Firmina will take care of what Chris missed."

If Alyssa wanted to show off, she would have been crushed by the rock giant at such a speed. Why would she wear armor when she clearly said she wanted to defeat that giant elemental creature?

Dissatisfaction with Alyssa accumulated in my heart, and I stretched out a hand to stop the knight girl.

"No, you are the defender. Miss Firmina is more suitable to cooperate with Fami."

"what?"

"It seems inappropriate for you to wear heavy armor."

"Yes, Chris is right, Alyssa, you'd better stay back."

Fami's statement left the girl speechless. She bit her lip and retreated behind us unwillingly.

The beast girl looked at me, and then focused on the monster again.

"Start!" I gave the order, and Fami started to charge. His movements were more agile than I imagined. When Fami came to the giant, it suddenly stood up and waved its rock fist. Fami's skills were naturally not good enough to be hit by such an obvious attack, but the moment the giant's fist came down, the whole mountain shook, as if it was a range attack, and I almost lost my footing.

"Prepare to attack! Chrissy."

When I finally stabilized my body, I found that Fami had already used the black pearl to cut off the giant's arm using a move similar to the Iai Slash. Of course, this thing was lifeless and couldn't feel pain. It was completely because of the rope. He begged Mana to start the never-ending pursuit.

After Fami landed, the giant raised another fist. Before I could react, Miss Firmina's fist blade had already broken through the giant's joints.

I aimed at the middle of the giant's chest, where there was a glowing stone, which was the key to controlling the stone giant's movements.

The mana in their bodies is concentrated, and magic crystals appear over the years. Although this thing is quite valuable, at least it far exceeds the value of this task. Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop them without breaking the crystals.

I aimed my palm at the stone giant's chest. If my fireball was the size, it could be crushed even if it didn't hit completely.

A huge fireball with this thought came out, and the burning sizzling sound ignited the surrounding grass like a gust of wind, leaving a bright trajectory in the air, and then slammed into the giant's chest.

The final result was even better than I imagined.

The giant shattered into a puddle of gravel, as if it had never existed in the first place.

"pretty."

"She is truly worthy of being the princess of the Kingdom of Fire."

The compliments from both of them made me very happy.

Then today's task can be considered completed.

While collecting the crystal fragments, Alyssa shook her light brown hair as if she was at a loss.

It's really of no use...

He is obviously a little older than Fami and I.

However, Alyssa's strong personality has also changed recently. She was so tough when I first met her, and she was completely rude when she dueled me, but now her words and actions just seem to be unreasonable, even this morning.

Because I have become stronger, can she no longer be able to use this method of dueling?No, I am stronger than her to begin with.

"Alyssa, have you been exercising recently?"

The knight girl's eyes widened when she heard this.

It was as if this sentence was expected by her, but it was also beyond reason.

"Of course..." she whispered.

"There's been something wrong with your behavior lately."

"..."

"Kris, it's nothing like this. Alyssa did her best." Fami hurriedly came over to block the girl.

What does it mean?

Why should he speak for Alyssa? Isn’t what I said the truth?Of course I know that it is necessary to protect the harmony of the team as much as possible, but Alyssa is indeed of no use now. Haven't you ever thought about this problem?If one of us fails to fulfill his or her duties, the loss of one person will be in vain. Fami, have you really considered these things?

"Do your best?"

"Alyssa only knows swordsmanship. She is neither a wizard nor an orc warrior. Her physical ability is already much better than that of ordinary people."

"There is only danger on our way!"

"Don't worry Chris, I will protect her."

"Varied!"

The young man's firm eyes and calm tone conveyed the same meaning.

Protection, it’s me you should protect, isn’t it?

I know that you two have a good relationship, and I also know that you were friends when you were in the security corps, but Fami, you know what you should do. You have expressed your affection for me one after another, and even took the initiative to woo me, but now you are standing in the way for other women. in front of me.Do you mean you like me?How should I trust you, Fami.

There was raging anger in my heart, but Firmina was also there, and she looked at us helplessly. Now is not the time to stage a bloody drama here. I must show my leadership as a leader in front of Firmina and the others. Temperament is what matters.

"Alyssa, I hope you can at least reach Mr. Ryder's level."

"I, I know..."

It was the first time that the knight girl acted so weakly. Her voice trembled, as if she was about to cry.

She gently grabbed Fami's sleeve, looking so helpless and pitiful.

When a girl shows such a face, there is nothing a boy can do.

How despicable.

I am obviously a girl too...

Chapter 140 140. Jealousy in love——2

There was no threat in the morning's battle, and naturally no one was injured. I think

There was still some free time in the day, and I should have accepted another simple commission to achieve maximum efficiency for the day, but I ended up disbanding the team to let everyone rest.

Alyssa was in a bad mood, so Fami went with her.

Why don't you ask me how I feel here? Walking on the street, I looked at the simple shops around me. The white walls were covered with vines and moss and no one was cleaning them. No one in the small town cared about this. Their The pace of life is very slow, and I don’t expect to make a little more money.At this time, I feel nostalgic for the bustling street market of Rodeculo Saint.

"Do you like that silly boy, princess..."

Firmina followed me, not knowing why she did what she did.

"I, I don't like..."

"Such lies can't be deceived by humans, let alone the beasts."

"It sounds like the orcs have the special ability to read minds."

"No, but we can judge whether it is a lie from your eyes, actions and even smell."

Firmina explained her confidence.

"I see, but I didn't lie. My love for Fami isn't to that level yet, and it's not enough for me to fall in love... That's it. It should be said that I'm still confused."

"Confused?"

"Well, he is my knight. I admit that I have a crush on him, that's all."

Yes, I hope he can protect me, listen to my instructions, and sit next to me and watch me sleep instead of sleeping in the same bed with me.

"Hey, why don't you be honest with yourself? You humans are not honest enough. There is often only a time difference between good feelings and love. If you don't accept his child, he will never get together with you."

The orc girl was leaning on a pillar nearby. The store looked shaky. I took her arm and motioned for us to sit in the store together.

Of course Fermina is very happy, as she said, the beast tribe is very honest with herself.

We sat on wooden chairs and looked around at the holes in the wall of the tavern. The chairs we were sitting on were rough and the surface looked like they had not been polished well.In the past, the head maid would have come and told me that sitting in this place would ruin my skirt.

However, the girl who poured us drinks was very pretty, maybe because of this reason there were still a few customers in this small shop.

"Do you know why I want to go to Parthia?"

I spoke first, wanting to change the topic related to Fami.

"I don't know the details, but I can tell you've made up your mind."

Fermina took a sip of the ale in her glass. The stuff here was even worse than the one in the hotel, but she didn't care.

The sound of the wooden cup falling on the table was dull. The table was probably too damp, but the store was still using it.

"Because I am Princess Crystal of the Kingdom of Fire."

I took out the ruby ​​necklace hanging around my neck. This was the only proof that I was a princess, although most people would not believe it.

"Yes, we all know that, and I don't doubt it."

"Nevertheless, I still want to say that the motherland was once rich and prosperous. Honey was mixed with the wine we drank, and every piece of bread exuded the aroma of wheat. And I am the princess of that country. No one dares to oppose me, if I want to If so, there will even be a lot of knights who will fish out the Moon in the Lake for me."

A year ago I wouldn't have even imagined myself drinking so poorly.

"It sounds like you've been a little willful."

Hearing the word willful, he couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, there are more than just a few. The Crystal Princess of the Land of Fire, that is my nickname among everyone."

"Oh, I seem to be able to guess the meaning of this title. The crystal has magical properties and stores mana, but it is useless because it has no corresponding magical properties, but the price is still very expensive. Nobles like to use this kind of crystal very much. Luxury items to decorate the chandelier.”

"You know that very well."

"Because I am also a member of the upper echelon of the beast tribe. When I was a child, my father often brought me human gadgets. Traveling salesmen from Gilkern would come every week."

Gilkern merchants traveled across the continent, wandering among any race on the surface, and their carriages were their passports.

"I have a bad personality and don't learn a lot. Everyone thinks of me as a troublesome princess. So when my family was threatened, my father thought of a way to get married. I was supposed to be the wife of the young master of the Shahavier family."

"Ah, I think I've heard about this, but King Garnet broke the contract, and everyone thought the king was crazy."

"It was crazy, and that's why we suffered this."

As the topic progressed, the wine in the glass seemed not to be so unpleasant.

"The destruction of the Garnet Kingdom happened overnight. No one can bear it at that time."

"That's right...so we still have the dream of reviving this country."

"The demons are too powerful. I respect your dream...but even if the beasts help us with all their strength, we may not be able to defeat them."

Fermina's attitude was very negative, and there was obvious fear of the demons in her eyes, as if she had been hurt too much by them.

"Even so, I have to try, otherwise they will still find me huddled in the corner at the end of the world. Besides, we have the Holy Sword."

"Without the hero it would be just a beautiful decorative sword."

"You said you were willing to help me because of this thing."

I raised my head and looked at her. The girl's thoughts seemed to have changed. I didn't know if she was still as determined as before.Fermina sighed, her animal ears drooping slightly.

"It's not because I'm afraid or unwilling to abide by my oath... but because I want to protect you, Chris. This road is much more difficult than you think, and the reward is very little."

"If everything goes well, I will revive the entire Garnet."

"That's another thing. Even if you defeat all the demons, it doesn't mean that your road to restoration will be smooth."

I don’t want to be questioned, I know better than anyone else that this matter is by no means that simple.

But I can't help it. I have stepped on so many people's corpses to get to this point, and stepped on other people's dreams to reach the front of this mountain range. If I don't do it, I can only wait.

Salamander gave me the strength not to live in peace, but to become a warrior.

Momonga also told me how to become a king. Akagi was more active and ambitious, but she also fell in front of me in the end.Maybe this is all coincidence, but it is not luck.

Everything leads me to the path of my destiny, and I have no right to refuse.

"Your road is full of thorns. If you want to gain power, you have to get stuck in the quagmire and fight to the death with the monsters in the quagmire. No one can come out clean."

Fermina seemed to have seen many similar things, and I thought that she had just said that she was the upper echelon of the beast tribe.

When she introduced herself before, she said she was a descendant of an elder, so she must have a princess-like status.

"You are right...Fermina, but I have made up my mind."

"Then I hope your determination is stronger than the rock of Hengyan Mountain, so that we can have the value of following you."

It's understandable that Fermina doesn't completely trust me, since we haven't been together for long and I look like a little kid.One of the reasons why they follow me now is because of my life-saving grace, and the other is because of my and Fami's strength.As for identity, it's not that easy to use without specific guarantees, let alone a princess whose country has perished.

"I won't let you down."

She nodded and said nothing more.
