Chris's Faith of Fire

"As for me... I probably don't have that kind of super power. It's probably just an ordinary dream."

But before the dream began, something appeared that I couldn't help but care about.

Salamander.

Haka seemed to sense my uneasiness. He blinked as if he wanted to say something.

"His Majesty."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down first. It's getting late... everyone should go back to their cabins and rest. I want to stay alone for a while now."

"Do you want to convey this will to the brave man as well?"

He seemed to ask me for advice on everything without thinking about it himself.

I waved my hand impetuously.

"No need, I just want to be alone for a while...don't let anyone disturb me."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

I let out a sigh of relief when Hakkar led his guards back.

It had been less than a week since we left Parthia, during which time we had been arguing for a long time about the distribution of the team.

With a team of 1 people, let alone a regular march, even the organization is a big problem. The current reorganization will probably take a long time for the members to adapt.At present, we absolutely cannot confront the Demon King head-on without the Hero and me, but if we delay for a long time, food, grass and baggage will also be a big problem.Moreover, Zelotia will not allow us to stay in Parthia for a long time. The remnants of the Gray Blade clan in the team here seem to be a trouble for her.

"I want to take Noelle to the Fairy Land Irene to receive the blessing. He is not a complete warrior now."

In the temporary meeting room set up in a small tent, he pointed to the southeast. Although it was located on the border of the Sea of ​​Fog, he couldn't just rush in. The sea was vast, there were dangers everywhere, and there were countless dangers. Monsters, so we need a guide.

"I know a smuggler named Spider. He can take people anywhere." Firmina proposed the candidate.

"Can we find him now?"

"He is in the empire. You can find traces of him by going to the mercenary station there. I will go to the mercenary station to send him a letter every month."

Fermina seems to be very familiar with this person called Spider and trusts him very much.The name Spider sounds like a nickname. Based on my experience as a thief, the person with the nickname must have spent time in the underground world. Whether such a person can be truly trusted is debatable, but now there is Phil. Mina is here, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"I understand. Next, I will take Noelle and an elite team to the empire to find this spider. If everything goes well, based on the distance, I can come back in two months."

The elf's Mana must open the door to the elf's residence, and the spider only needs to take us to the place closest to Irene.

"I'll go with you."

"No, during the time when the brave and the elves are not around, this army must be led by you..."

Fermina's offer was rejected by me, and she immediately understood her responsibility, bowed and retreated.

"Well, Chris, I can help you this time."

The one who spoke out was Fami, who had been silent.Seriously, just seeing his face makes me want to run away.The vague love I had for this wolf boy has gradually become indifferent now. I don't want him to be with me at this time, because maybe he will do something outrageous because of impulsiveness.Noelle has come back, and he has not abandoned his engagement with me. Since he is a brave man now, he must rely on this power. I cannot allow anything to happen that makes Noelle feel bad.

"Fami...you and Alyssa stay here."

"……why?"

"The food and fodder problem for the army still needs to be solved. You and Alyssa must return to Anatolia to seek assistance. This is an important task."

"But there is no way Chikato can help us!" He and Alyssa both knew how deep-rooted the thieves organization in Anatolia was, and also knew that they were not so friendly now, and might have colluded with the noble forces. , otherwise we would not have been chased by the guard captain when we were in Hengyan Mountain, because I stole the holy sword from the thief, not the noble. In that case, there was no need for the noble forces to intervene.

"I know, but there is no other way, or do you want to plunder the city in exchange for supplies?"

"Of course I don't want to... you know, I won't rob or steal again." The young man lowered his head and frowned.

"In this case, we must seek assistance and make it clear that we have no hostility. Otherwise, we will have to fight to the death with the Gilkern warriors before fighting the demons. This is the worst case scenario."

"Chris, but..."

"This is an order, Fami. I will still be your queen, if you have no thoughts of betrayal."

To him, this sentence may have been a warning that he had touched the bottom line.

Hearing this, Fami lowered his head and suddenly raised his head again. He wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to speak. His mouth opened but no sound came out. It took a long time before he finally uttered a sad word.

"Chris...I can't be separated from you anymore."

The toughness and stubbornness that used to appear on the boy's face have disappeared, and I can only read a sadness like that of a dog abandoned by its owner.

I stepped forward and caressed his face.

"I say this because I need you. If we lose this army, we will lose everything...Have you forgotten the purpose of our progress? Finally, we have the hope of defeating the devil and reviving the country. It has also appeared, and you should know that this is more important than me now."

"Chris..."

"Do all this, and when I come back, I will reward you, my little wolf."

With this sentence, I won’t say anything more.

The top priority is to take Noel to Erin to receive the blessing to make him a true brave. In this case, even if we face the Four Heavenly Kings and the Demon King Black Yao, our chances of winning will be much greater.

Moreover, I heard something recently.

My sister, she's still alive.

And she defeated the invading Demon King's army, and now she is carrying out resistance activities in the southern land of Garnet.

My side must first unite Gilkern's forces and then push to the west.

Total war is about to begin, and I have no choice.

Chapter 163 163. Dreams and the future——3

Even with great ambitions, all he could do now was lie on this uncomfortable hammock of canvas.

I couldn't do anything until my fever subsided. My eyes swayed up and down as the ship's hull swayed. The dark wooden bulkhead looked a bit rotten. I don't know whether it was because of old age or the fact that it had been in a humid environment.

Fami, he won't be angry, right? I may have said it too harshly, "Before you betrayed me, I was still your queen, so obey my orders!" I probably can't be like him anymore after saying this. It was so much better in the past.But the betrayal of Free, Crowe and Ryder made me unable to trust others easily.This attitude toward Fami couldn't help but remind me of what happened when I was in the palace. I was so angry when he saw me naked in the room, and ended up saying something outrageous, "Because I'm a princess." You are a servant, so be careful about your identity." At that time, Fami also showed a very sad expression...

Is it better to be more gentle? I really want to become the kind of girl who is gentle and loved by everyone, but I am as easy to explode as a small volcano, and then I am alone doing useless reflections in my heart afterwards. …

This seems to be called Ao Shen in the cute animations I have seen before, haha... It is not funny at all when it is regarded as a cute thing and put on one's body.

Why am I like this.

Sophie... would I change if I could spend more time with you?

Outside the cabin, the sound of the mercenaries stepping on the deck during the day disappeared into the sound of the waves at night. It was still dark, so the mercenaries must also be taking a rest outside.I slept in a separate cabin on this ship, and I was the only one here. Although the conditions were not that good, I couldn't take a shower for a long time at sea, and my whole body was sticky and uncomfortable because of the fever.

Sometimes I think of myself in the past, not the wayward little princess in the royal city, but my previous life... Although I am lonely, I am not as tired as I am now. Life in another world is very tiring. If you bear huge responsibilities and missions It's even more breathless.

Because my every move determines the life and death of more than 1 people, I cannot escape.

It would be great if I get well soon. I want to go on the deck to see how far the coast is from us. However, the Sea of ​​Fog is just as its name suggests. Once we leave the port, it will be covered with a thin layer of fog, making it difficult to see. Clear the other side.

No matter if there is a fog, I want to look at the other side.

I struggled to climb out of the hammock, and it was hard to support my body without falling. My movements were more difficult than usual. I was obviously the host of the elf, so why did I still get sick?

He stood up holding on to the door frame and saw Noelle standing there impressively.

"Chris! What's wrong with you?" The boy hurriedly supported my body. Like me, he had an unpleasant smell because he hadn't showered for a long time.It seems that he did not know that I was sick, but the members of the Guards still obeyed the order well.

"Nothing, just a little feverish."

"Fever?" He repeated the word while touching my forehead, and then a more worried expression appeared on his face. "It's too hot. Get some rest. Why did you crawl out in the middle of the night?"

He picked up my body like a princess. What he does now will only bother me. I obviously wanted to look at the other side, but was ruthlessly blocked by the brave man. I really hope that the Demon King will also experience this kind of helplessness in the future. Help, haha.

Noelle didn't leave immediately after putting me back in the hammock and covering me with a blanket.

He found a small round stool next to him and sat next to it... It took me a long time to realize why he did this. I am his fiancée.

"Thank you, Noelle."

"It's okay, I'm very happy to take care of you."

"Thank you...cough." My dry and uncomfortable vocal cords could only produce this syllable. Hearing a small cough, he hurriedly brought me water. This tenderness made my heart even more uncomfortable.

Noelle is still as innocent as he was two years ago. He sticks to his promise and leaves his hometown with his sister Sylvie to search for traces of me. Sylvie is still missing, so maybe it’s not time to poke his wounds now.

After drinking warm water, my throat felt much better.

"Sylvie, I have sent people to look for her, don't be impatient... Noelle."

"Well, she will be fine." He seemed to have something on his mind when he said this.

He was very depressed during this period. Even if I tried to comfort him, he couldn't cheer up completely. What happened between him and Sylvie?

I haven’t seen Sylvie in the past two years. Is Sylvie still the same as before? If so, it may not be surprising what she did, but this incident still makes me feel unusual.

As a brave man, Noelle had an expression of helplessness and desolation written on his face as clearly as words. It was like telling my beast warriors that the brave man was in bad condition and that the person they wanted to pursue was not the one chosen by God. This is how it should be. A brave man should be someone who can make people feel hope with his courage throughout his body. When he himself loses hope, of course his military morale will be shattered, and defeating the Demon King will be in vain. Noelle can no longer do it. He is easily dominated by his own emotions.

I stretched out my left hand, held the boy's hand, and looked at him with gentle eyes.

"Noelle, believe me, she will be fine...maybe she will be back soon."

"Really..." The expression seemed to be disbelief.

"Of course, as long as your reputation as a hero becomes more and more famous, Sylvie will also know where you are."

"But was she really safe and sound at that time?"

The marching speed of the Demon King's Army has become faster. This has been reported by the scouts on the front line. They are almost advancing to the three-way intersection. If they go south, the target is Granport, and if they go east, they will be Xidelinle and Anatoly. Yeah, the goal of the Demon King's army is to completely capture humanity, so the possibility of attacking the royal capital is high.

The royal capital of Gilkern, Xydelin, is in danger.

According to known intelligence, the mercenary groups and the lord's guards are putting up a better-than-nothing resistance. Although the royal capital has sent reinforcements, in front of Alexia, Queen of the Dragon Clan, these will only become rust on her blade. .

Not only Noelle, but I was also worried that Sylvie would get into trouble.

However, he must press his heart.

I hold the boy's hand tighter...

"Did you think I was dead when you came looking for me?"

"No, I never believed it."

The young man shook his head, as if he would not think about this idea at all.

"In that case, then believe her. There must be a reason why she left you. Is it to become stronger or something else? She has her own reasons and persistence to do that."

"Kris..." The boy opened his eyes wide and then lowered his head. "Thank you for being willing to comfort me. I feel much better. You are obviously the one who feels uncomfortable lying in bed."

He shook his head.

"That's not the case. By the way, can you give that back to me?"

I pointed to the thing hanging around the boy's neck, the ring that I had given to me as an engagement gift but was abandoned by me.

"Of course~" After looking at me in surprise for a while, the boy smiled for the first time today.

Chapter 164 164. Dreams and the future——4

After putting the ring on me, Noel seemed to be in a good mood. He walked out with a smile and gently closed the damp wooden door, so I returned to a space with only one person.

Stretching out his palm, his fingers were still slender and white, and the gem-set ring shimmered on the ring finger of his left hand.

My heart was a little heavy, but I still deceived him. I didn't expect that I would become the kind of woman I hate, relying on gentle lies to deceive men's feelings so that they stay around and do things for me.

It's really bad, but I have no choice but to do this...

If I tell him that I don't love him at all and don't want to be his wife, but I want to foolishly compete with Alyssa for Fami, will Noelle forgive me?

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his cheeks.

How is it possible? I know this kind of thing best. I was the same in my previous life. I was played and applauded by a philandering woman. Whether it was out of malice or other reasons, such a thing would make a man feel heartbroken. , sad, angry.Noelle will know the truth one day. I can't lie to him for the rest of my life. I keep saying that I love him and want to come back to him. The secret will be exposed one day...

I'm such a bad girl.

The waves were still gently lapping at the hull of the ship, and I gradually felt sleepy in the gentle and regular rocking. The days of living on the ship were actually quite boring, including eating, chatting, sleeping, or gambling with the sailors. A game, or go to the deck and watch the fog and waves in the distance.That's almost all. It doesn't matter even if I sleep until noon, I just hope I won't dream about that high school girl again.

Until now, I still can't remember who she is...

My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, my tired body is urging me to sleep, and I can fall asleep quickly just lying in the room alone.

Just when I was about to completely relax and rest, a pair of hands suddenly came up from behind and covered my mouth and nose, carrying a strong smell of sweat.

"Huh? Uh-huh-!"

These hands were a whole circle larger than Noel's, and they looked brownish and calloused. The part that touched my lips stung as if they were being rubbed with sandpaper.

His movements were extremely rough, and I realized in an instant that he was neither Noel nor a member of the Guards, but a strange man.His body was dragged off the hammock, and his dangling legs kept flapping in the air, trying to resist the force, but immediately there was a dagger in front of him, with a cold light flashing on the blade.
