Chris's Faith of Fire

It was my turn. As expected, I mixed this child into our mercenary group.

Incompetent people are like this. They don't dare to confront each other head-on. They rush to attack the other party when they are alone. Moreover, they bully a girl. No matter how hard they say it, they can't ignore it.The son of Zersi is neither a king, nor a noble, nor a brave man, nor a parent, nor a wife, nor a child. We should be the patron saints of the weak, not to mention that the other party is still a girl. Alvis clenched his sword. Handle thought.

But Alvis didn't want to use the power of the sword, he didn't want to accidentally kill someone, and he didn't want to use something that didn't belong to him.

This sword can bring him glory and power, but it cannot bring satisfaction.

Alves gritted his teeth and rushed into the alley. If it was a one-on-three fight, it might not be an easy solution.Just as he was thinking this, his eyes widened. The air smelled of something being lit. The men who were supposed to be bullying the girls were lying unconscious on the ground, with bursts of green smoke floating on the linen clothes.

"Hmph, trash fish."

The girl narrowed her eyes, raised her smoking index finger, and ignored the men lying on the ground.

After a while, her attention shifted to Alves. The girl raised her finger again, with flames condensed on it.

"There are accomplices! Vomit...vomit...it feels so uncomfortable..." But midway through her words, she held her hand on the wall and vomited again.Alves felt that it was not good to just stand there in a daze, so he went up to help pat the girl on the back.As I got closer, I realized that her body was so petite. Alves was only 17 years old, but his hands, which were not very wide, still occupied almost one-third of the girl's back.

He couldn't see the girl's face clearly in the darkness, but now Alves noticed how beautiful the girl in front of him was.Her silver hair, which is neither long nor short, rests lightly on her shoulders. Perhaps she put on a hood just now because her silver hair was too conspicuous... Her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, her big red eyes were slightly squinted, and the corners of her mouth were stained. The girl was drooling and seemed to feel uncomfortable after drinking too much wine, and she would vomit again at any time.Although Alves also drank, he was not drunk at all. He helped the girl out of the alley of the church. The girl looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a low tolerance for alcohol. She also forced herself to drink too much and was unable to walk. It seemed as if he would fall down with every step he took. Alves wanted to put her hands on his shoulders, but the height difference prevented him from doing so. After a moment of hesitation, he endured the smell of alcohol, and Alves After carrying the girl on his back, Alves realized that she was too light...

Alves was not familiar with the roads in Neflait. The roads here were paved with finely polished bricks and the buildings were all white. Although they had no special features, they were in line with Nefera’s teachings. It took a long time for Alves to realize that the square he passed during the day had a fountain carved with a statue of a goddess. He carefully put the girl down and let her lean against the fountain. He took out a handkerchief, wetted it and wiped her face with his hands. The moonlight became brighter in the square, and the girl's cheeks looked whiter and softer than before.

"Well... thank you, thank you really... I thought you were a bad person too..."

Although she is a peerless beautiful girl, she smells like alcohol and is really unsightly.

"You were drinking with me in a pub just now. I saw you coming out alone and followed you."

"Hahaha, what is that~" The girl laughed for some reason. "It's almost like a stalker~"

"stalker?"

"Ah, it's okay...don't worry, ahem, I sometimes say some strange things..."

"It's really strange for me to say such a thing."

The girl's cheerful smile intrigued him.

He put his handkerchief in the fountain, dipped it in water, wrung it out gently and handed it to the girl.

"Thank you~"

"It's a small matter, what's your name?"

"Mine? Chris~"

I always felt like I had heard it somewhere, but Alves couldn't remember it right away. Maybe I was just confused with someone.

"Hey! You have been stunned for a long time. I have already said my name. What about you~"

“Ah, sorry, Alves.

My name is Alves. "

Chapter 180 180. The Successor of Illusion——3

The night wind blew over Chris's cheek, and her silver hair floated onto her face. Her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she pushed her silver hair away. In Alves' eyes, this scene was like a fairy, which made him intoxicated for a moment.

"Alves? Not a bad name."

I don’t know if her cheerfulness now is because she is drunk or it’s just the same. A cute girl like her always makes people feel distant. She can only look at her from a distance and not get close. Alves has seen a lot of this. Girls, including the daughters of great nobles, even the proud and martial princess of the empire.

"It's just a very common name. By the way, please return the handkerchief to me."

"Oh, you're so stingy. Why don't you lend it to me again? This handkerchief doesn't look like something a boy would use... It was sewn very seriously. Ah, I understand, it was given by my lover! Sure enough? ~Ran! There is also a name embroidered here, Soph...ah, I haven't finished reading it yet!" Chris hurriedly snatched Alves away after seeing half of it.

"It's not like that, not lovers..."

"Huh? Is it mom, your Oedipus?" Chrissy's delicate slender eyebrows wrinkled again.

"No!" Alves retorted angrily. "It's my sister. You girl is so rude... If you weren't drunk, well, forget it."

"Sister, Chrissy also has a sister."

The girl raised her buttocks and jumped onto the fountain and sat on the edge. Her legs were very long but her feet still couldn't reach the ground, so she sat with her legs fluttering.Alves was afraid that she would fall into the pool, so he held the girl's back with one hand. She didn't look disgusted, and Alves was relieved.

Do we look like a couple now?He smiled bitterly when he thought of this. Although he had met several women with the group leader Ma Kai, he knew very well that none of them really liked him. High-priced prostitutes would disguise their expressions to make customers mistake her for her. Like yourself and you’ll get repeat business.The cheap prostitute couldn't even do this. She took him to bed abruptly, finished the job abruptly, took away a silver coin and didn't look at him again. Alves hated this kind of interaction.But just because of this, it would be too hasty to include the girl in front of him as his target. She looks just as petite as his sister, although her sister is like that for many reasons...

"Alves suddenly stopped talking again!"

"Ah, I was thinking about something just now~"

"A beautiful girl like me must be thinking of something bad~ Hum."

"Yes...oh, you can think whatever you like."

You can't be serious when dealing with drunkards. The young man who has been with mercenaries for a long time understands this.

"It's you, beautiful girl~ Why do you go out drinking alone in the middle of the night? You know it's dangerous, don't you?"

The girl's gaze turned to the starry sky. She stared there blankly, as if she remembered something and then showed a somewhat unhappy expression.

"It's nothing... to put it simply, a bad boy wanted to chase me, but I told him not to use force and made a good agreement. In the end, he still couldn't bear his animal lust and touched me. I When he got angry, he used magic to knock him away and ran out to drink. I had heard that Neferrait had good security, so I didn’t worry too much, but I didn’t expect that there were still scum..."

"Such people can be found everywhere. No matter how holy a place is, there are villains, and no matter how sinful a place, there are saints."

"Oh! Mr. Alves suddenly said something like a famous quote."

The girl Kris clapped her hands and opened her eyes wide as if she was truly impressed. Her true red pupils were as clear as gems, and her eyelashes were so long and thick that she couldn't help but want to be hugged.

"What a mess, completely illogical. You are a mercenary adventurer."

He turned away awkwardly, hiding his shyness.

Although the girl was dissatisfied with Alves's ridicule, she did not continue to refute. Perhaps she was tired or had forgotten what she wanted to say.

So she continued Alves' question.

"Yeah, there are two boys in my team...well, they're all boys except me, they're all warriors and I'm the battle wizard."

"As expected, but your team configuration is not reasonable."

"Eh?"

"Generally speaking, well...for example, for a team of ten people, it is best to have three warriors, one of whom is a shield guard, the other two are mainly responsible for attacking, and there are 3-1 wizards or archers, but there should be at least one wizard. The healer can lead one or two people, and the paladin is naturally the best, but few knights will become mercenaries."

"That's right, our team doesn't have long-range attackers or healers..." The girl nodded as if she understood something, but it was obvious that she was drunk.

"One more thing, it's not good for a girl to be in a team full of men."

"Eh? What's wrong..."

What Ma Kai often mentioned to Alves now suddenly came to his mind.

"Because there is only one girl...and it is a cute girl like you. Everyone will fight for it."

"Suddenly... suddenly he said I'm cute out of the blue! It's true, that's right! Yes, everyone likes me ~ I can't count them on both hands ~"

"It's not a good thing. This will damage the unity of the team. There are always people with low status and people with high status in the team, so if there is complete inequality, differences will arise, and there may be enemies."

"Don't be so talkative! I'm most afraid of betrayal."

Chris stared at Alves and gently twisted his cheek.

"Well... you are quite energetic." Alves rubbed his cheek. He found that the conversation between himself and the girl had become more casual. He didn't have so many words to say originally, not to mention that the other party was just meeting for the first time. girl.At this time, only the sounds of small animals in the city could be heard outside. He felt as if the two of them had completely occupied this night world. Ma Kai asked him to find a place to relax. Alves felt that he had indeed encountered a good match. of encounter.

"Stop talking about this, did you just say that you also have a sister?"

Chrissy nodded. "Well, it turns out that she was in Rodeculo Saint. I was worried about her before... but recently I got the news that she is fine."

"Rodculosaint..." He whispered the name, and the gentle smile of the chestnut-haired girl seemed to appear before his eyes. "That's really congratulations. My sister is also in that city... I still don't know what to do."

"Really? Are you a Garnet too?"

The young man nodded. "That's right, but I am already a mercenary without a country...I gave up my hometown before the Demon King's army invaded. Although I escaped a disaster, I am not happy at all."

I thought I would get glory and status, fame and fortune.Being able to earn a lot of money and return to your hometown to prove to that worried sister that you are not on the wrong path is also a great world for mercenary adventurers. You can see the world that others cannot see, and you can travel all over the world. of the four directions.

He has been dreaming of all this since he was a child, but now he has really achieved both fame and fortune...

And the price is losing a more important person.

Chapter 181 181. The Illusionary Heir——4

"Don't be sad, boy!"

Chrissy’s face was full of seriousness. She held Alves’ face to cheer him up.

"No matter what the final result is, don't give up hope, just like me! I plan to go see my sister after I finish the things here."

"I'm fine, but Chrissy's comfort always feels more effective than others."

"Hey, maybe it's because I'm cute."

"Although I don't deny that... but it's a common thing people say when comforting me, your sister must still be alive. Such irresponsible words, it is obvious that they don't know what is going on with my sister."

"Yeah, I don't like that kind of speech either. He's obviously a mortal but pretends to be a prophet and says nonsense."

The night's chat seemed a little sad at this point. Alves didn't want to end the topic and escorted the girl back. The night was still very long.Ma Kai and the others would also spend the night having fun, even if it was just tonight. He wanted to find someone to talk to in this quiet place, and strangers were naturally the best... The girl in front of him didn't know that he had the power of the phantom god, nor did they know that he had the power of the phantom god. In the mercenary group, Alves feels good about this girl and they can chat. It seems that these are enough for now.

"When it comes to mortals, we should mention gods."

"God? A true citizen of Nefera?" Chris tilted her head. It seemed that she knew something. In this case, Alves wouldn't have to mention the opening remarks that Ma Kai would repeat every time.

"You know, I thought the Garnet people didn't care about this."

"That's true. I have loved reading since I was a child. I have read many stories in which the God of War, the God of Illusion, and other gods are mentioned."

Listening to the girl's words, Alves' memory returned to several years ago. Alves also liked it very much at the beginning. He read Callis's travel notes and read novels about the real people. He couldn't help but want to take risks. Just walked out of the house.

But something caught Alves' attention.

"Do you feel like a noble?"

At least civilians can't grow up studying.

"Ah...yes, yes." Chris was a little at a loss when this was pointed out, but she quickly put the words behind her with a slight cough. "You too, nobleman...why do you want to be a mercenary?"

"Since you are also an adventurer mercenary, you may know this question better than me..."

"Then, let's not talk about family background. Since we all like stories and are happy to talk about the true people of Nefera, let's talk about these."

"Of course." Alves didn't want to pause for too long on the topic of the past. He thought about all the stories he had heard.

Alves' eyes turned to his waist, and he saw the Sword of the Illusion God that he had recently acquired, and an idea popped into his mind.

"The Phantom God Zersi, half of the warriors in the empire worship this name. They grew up listening to his deeds... I also want to be a warrior like Zersi one day."

"Half of the warriors?" Chris was a little confused, but she quickly realized the reason. "The other half is because I admire the warrior Sigurdfeld, right?"

Alves nodded.

"The god of war is a symbol of strength and courage, while the god of illusion is a symbol of agility and ruthlessness."

The Phantom God was born as an orphan in the streets of the empire... Ma Kai and the others have told this story countless times. Zerxi always wears a hood to hide his face and figure, and is taciturn. However, his sword is stronger than anyone else's. All are deadly.The only one who could survive seeing him draw his sword was his friend, and the Phantom God only had the God of War as a friend. The two maintained a relationship of friends and rivals for thousands of years.

"I heard that the two of them once had a killing competition in the east and west of the ancient continent..."

The girl lowered her head in disgust when mentioning this incident. This incident was later artistically written into a popular novel "The Oath of the Wolf Rider". It was her favorite book. In the book, due to the arrogance and rudeness of humans, the two great gods They started a massacre competition to punish humans. Later, their angels Hagland and Frungen risked their lives to disobey their masters and save the world.

"The novel is just a novel after all. The official history circulated in the empire says that it was the dragons and demons who harmed humans, so the phantom god and the god of war came down to earth to help humans, and showed terrifying strength. The god of war Sigfei was invulnerable and turned into a giant to destroy the sky. The giant dragon tore it into pieces. And the phantom god disappeared on the battlefield, and then appeared behind each demon. The two gods cooperated seamlessly... killing hundreds or even thousands of enemies without feeling tired. This battle Afterwards, humans showed respect and belief in the two gods, but also felt fear. They were not omniscient and omnipotent like the goddess Nefera. The true people of Nefera were once human beings like us, so one day if they were because of their own Who can resist when the will joins the war of mankind?"

At this point, Alves felt his mouth was a little dry, so he turned back and took a sip of water from the fountain.

"Then what's next!"

Chrissy seemed eager to continue listening.

Alves wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.

"The next thing is very sad... The empire once had five small kingdoms. They originally respected each other, maintained peace, and maintained a very high level of commerce. The famous adventurer Kallis said that this has never been seen on the mainland. Live in such a peaceful and wonderful land. But not long after he said these words, one of the countries began to believe in a certain god. He was only ranked at the forefront among the true people of Nefera. Unfortunately, that was it. It can make the original balance disappear. Everyone started to fight. They called the name of the God of War and the God of Fantasy, but they never appeared again. Some people said that the gods were afraid of this kind of thing. Although the God of War and the God of Fantasy did not Joined, but a large number of lesser-known gods turned the continent upside down, so some people began to hate the real people of Nefera, but everyone also understood the power and nobility of the phantom god and the god of war, especially here No one in the Southern Continent dares to insult these two gods on the road."

After finishing speaking, Alves looked at the dark clouds in the sky that obscured the stars. It seemed that the weather had also changed.

It's getting late.

Then he patted the girl on the back.

This girl has been silent since she heard it. Is it because what she said is different from the facts she knows?Alves doesn't think that what he said is necessarily correct. Just having companions with the same preferences is enough to make him happy.

When looking at Chris again.

Although her cheeks were red, it seemed that she had sobered up from the wine.

Maybe everything is fine with the gods, but Chris has realized that she was chatting with a strange man in the middle of the night. She felt a little scared and a little shy. How could she have done such a thing if she hadn't been drunk.
