Chris's Faith of Fire

Chrissy didn't know where to start the story. Her mind was in chaos. The sudden appearance of Sophie's brother was enough of a shock. If Sophie hadn't died yet, she could happily talk to Alves a lot. , by the way, I hope he can change his mind and return to his hometown, and return to his sister so that she can stop worrying.Chris knows that Sophie goes to church every week to pray for her brother's safety.

In the end, Chris simply explained the fact that Sophie was killed by a man named Crowe and died protecting herself. Chris wanted to say how sorry she was about this.But she didn't want to defend herself, and couldn't even say a word of apology. She always felt that the moment she apologized, she was excusing herself. She didn't want to be forgiven, nor did she want to forget.

"...That's it. Sophie was killed by the man she liked, but she died for me."

The long tail tone seemed to echo in the dark night. Alves didn't reply for a long time. Chrissy didn't dare to raise her head to look at his expression, but when she lowered her head, she saw a drop of water falling on the ground, and then the boy raised the back of his hand to wipe it. Wipe your face.

"That's it..." He only left this sentence. There was obviously a lot he wanted to say in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a word.Sister Sophie's death was not unexpected. The Demon King's army's devastating offensive almost razed the entire Garnet to the ground. Many people lost their parents, brothers, wives and children.He is 17 years old and knows that he is an adult... he cannot vent his emotions on his face. But whenever Alves closes his eyes, he can think of sister Sophie's cute and gentle smile. She is as cute as a child, but She truly has the tenderness of a sister.

Alves stood up and walked around...looking at the stars in the sky.

"My sister discovered me the day I left home..." Alves seemed to be talking to himself, while Chrissy just listened quietly. "I admired adventurer mercenaries at that time. You have met our leader Ma Kai, right? He is the guy with the unruly beard who is very impolite. He is a wandering knight. At that time, I had a dispute with someone in the tavern and beat him up. Later, the guy found a helper. When I was beaten up, it was Ma Kai who helped me. At that time, I thought that becoming an adventurer mercenary would give me such power and I would never be bullied again. After all, our family Although he is a noble, he has always been looked down upon. I asked him for sword skills, and Ma Kai saw that I had some talent and agreed to teach me for a tuition fee of one silver coin per day."

Alves put his weight on the railing. He felt that his body was light enough now and he was not afraid of falling.

"One silver coin is naturally not worth mentioning to a big noble, but for our family it is not money that can be squandered casually. My matter was soon discovered by my sister..."

When he said this, he paused, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.

"Is she angry?"

"Of course..." The boy forced himself to laugh. "Because my sister studies diligently, my father hopes that she can become a well-behaved and beautiful lady and climb into a higher-ranking noble... My father spent a lot of money to prepare clothes for my sister, but my sister doesn't dare to wear them. She usually just Dress yourself up like an ordinary girl."

Chris recalled the first time she wanted to escape from the city, Sophie said that she only had one ordinary casual clothes, and even that dress looked too plain to Chris.

Crying in front of a girl who is younger than him seems to make a boy feel embarrassed, so he is holding back... He is obviously reaching his limit, and it is impossible not to cry, but he still holds back.

Chrissy already knew the development of the story. She stopped asking questions and just walked forward and looked at the boy sitting on the stone bench nearby. She hugged the boy, and Alves' face was pressed against Chrissy's chest. He subconsciously hugged the girl in front of him tightly.I don't know why, even though it was such an intimate gesture, he didn't feel anything wrong at all.

The girl in front of her looks very much like Sister Sophie, not in terms of appearance or figure, but in terms of her reassuring atmosphere and her gentle heart that understands others.

"elder sister……"

The moment he raised his head, he almost mistaken Chris for Sophie.

"Well, if you are unhappy, just tell your sister ~ Alves."

Even so, Chris showed her gentlest smile and said this.

Alves let down his guard, as if he had gone back in time, when he was still a brat who loved to cause trouble for Sophie.He confided everything to the girl like a spoiled child.

My father spent a lot of effort to get Sister Sophie to enter the palace, and then she was selected by Chris to become a maid... But by that time, Alves had already become an adventurer mercenary and followed Ma Kai. Sophie sends a letter.He also knew that his sister would be worried about him. If it was Sophie who was alive now instead of him... how sad sister Sophie would be. Normally, she would be sad and shed tears even if she stepped on an ant to death, let alone her own biological child. Brother.

However, the one who died now was the cuter and better version of her, not the useless version of herself.

Chrissy stroked Alves' head as he listened to his words.

"Nothing like that, you are already very powerful..."

"Pure strength means nothing. I gained strength due to some coincidence, but my real self is not strong at all. In the mercenary station, I was still a newcomer walking with my head down. It has been three years."

As he spoke, he took out the sword at his waist.

It was a beautiful purple long sword with a recurve bow and a finely crafted handle, with a hooded head carved on it.

"Although you may not believe it, this is the long sword given to me by the Phantom God... I rely on it to become famous. In the hands of ordinary people, this sword is very heavy and feels dull, so others cannot use it, but in my In his hands, iron is as sharp as clay..."

Chrissy wanted to touch, but she felt it was inappropriate to care about such things at this time.

But the moment her hand came close, Alves seemed to see a flash of light from the sword.

"Eh? Just now..."

"Well, what happened?"

"Illusion..."

Although the final episode was a bit unexpected, Alves seemed to have come out of his sadness. This girl was obviously still so young, but she was incredibly similar to her sister.

Chrissy let go of Alves. This action itself already made her feel very embarrassed...

But it would be worth it if it could cheer up this boy.

Chapter 191 191. Chrissy’s Knight——11

Chrissy’s perspective:

I've done everything I need to do, and it's all I can do under the current circumstances.

Noelle, Fami, and Haka have all understood the current situation, and have also established a trusting relationship with Alves, who is the core of "Zersi's Son". Thank you very much, Sophie...

Only to you, I can't tell a lie.

Today is the day of departure. Haka’s soldiers have finished purchasing supplies. I talked with Patricia again. She told me a lot but asked for very little. Perhaps the beautiful cardinal felt that she could only rely on this little information. It’s enough to grasp the overall situation.

"If I give you a special pass, it will make Her Royal Highness Crystal's journey faster."

"But this way it will be easier to attract others' attention. We are already very eye-catching with the Orcs."

"As expected of Her Royal Highness Crystal, indeed. I said that I have no intention of being hostile to Her Royal Highness Crystal, and I will try my best to help you."

"Under the current circumstances, it is enough as long as there is no trouble."

"Haha, it's true~ But I have prepared a few maps and some supplies for you. If you don't mind, please accept it." Her smile was always so bright, and she didn't know how much Bishop Patricia could trust her. I still don’t have a good grasp of the problem, but it’s always necessary to keep an eye on it.

"Thank you...you will definitely be praised when the Demon King is destroyed."

"Haha~ Rather than being praised, I envy Her Royal Highness Crystal more for being surrounded by so many outstanding boys~"

"If it were Patricia-sama, there would be more male pursuits."

"Only people who are rude and have deep desires~"

The joking ends here, we look at each other, at least so far we have the same goals and pursuits.

I took them out of the great monastery in the afternoon. Patricia said that she could lend me two experienced paladins. Fami and Haka both refused, but Alves' suggestion was to accept.

"Why is he qualified to stand with us and give you suggestions!" Fami said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, Master Fami is right. Our actions cannot be shared too much with outsiders."

I understand what they are thinking, but...

"Don't question me to my face." I replied. "Alves, tell me your suggestions."

"Okay, I have told you before that the balance of the princess's team is not good. The paladins are excellent warriors with the characteristics of knights and healers, and they believe in the knight's creed and will not betray."

"Who knows, this must have been arranged by Patricia to spy on us?"

Fami was still choking on Alves.

Alves didn't seem to mind the faux pas.

"If we are just monitoring, we will be enough. Patricia understands that your team is not balanced enough... The princess's current poor condition is definitely not good for her."

"But having too many people defeats our purpose."

I agree with what Haka said. Our goal is to find Erin, the land of fairies.

At this time, Ma Kai from the mercenary group jumped out again.

"Stop pretending, your purpose can't be that simple, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is it just for the so-called holy ceremony that requires such caution and secrecy? I have seen a lot when traveling across the mainland. The things those so-called powerful adults do are as glorious and gorgeous as the clothes on their bodies. I am afraid that others will not see it. arrive."

I couldn't refute him. Patricia's improvised lies were not convincing enough, even though her acting skills were already quite superb.

I need them to be loyal to me, but the loyalty of mercenaries is not that easy to obtain, not to mention that Captain Ma Kai is also a wandering knight. If he wants to be loyal to a certain lord, he will not fall to this.

"I am the queen of Garnet, so I naturally have my own goals. My army is waiting for me to return in the north and bring down the Demon King...and I don't need to explain the details to you, Mr. Commander, unless you are willing to tell me I express my loyalty."

"Haha, your majesty is really impressive. Regardless of whether Her Majesty Ladia, who fought desperately in the North, is willing to admit that you are the queen, do you think the loyalty of a person like me is trustworthy? Just kneel down at this moment. , put your long sword on my shoulder, and I will become your knight. There is no guarantee for this kind of behavior. The sword used to be knighted may be placed on your own neck the next day. Not sure."

"I can chop your neck right now!"

Haka took out his scimitar, and Ma Kai immediately put his hands behind his back. He was a mercenary... he would move faster and use hidden weapons better than the orcs.

Seeing this situation, Fami also put his hand on the hilt of his sword, but Alves and Noelle were the only ones looking at each other at a loss.

"Do you want to stain your sword with the blood of your own people before setting off on your journey, and bring shame to your reputation?"

Hakkar heard my roar and put away his weapon and retreated.I am still touched by his loyalty, but it may one day harm me.

As for Ma Kai, his rudeness is different from those gangsters, I can see it.The leader named Ma Kai is not the kind of person who is naturally rude. Every move he makes seems to be deliberately provoking, as if he is expecting an angry reaction from me.

The Queen does not get angry easily, but when she is angry, she will make others pay the price.

And now is not that time.

"I am the daughter of King Kane of Garnet, the incarnation of Salamander in this world! My father did not designate anyone to inherit the kingship during his lifetime... My sister, Ladia. I pray that she is safe, but I I will never just watch her like this, waiting for her to save the world on the other side of the sea. I want to step in and prove to everyone that I am more than just the Crystal Princess. And you, Your Excellency, obey or just leave, If you betray me, I will let you be burned to ashes in the fiery hell."

"She's just very good at talking..." He narrowed his eyes. "What do you compare with your sister Wang? Which one of us do you think will obey you?"

"I swear allegiance to Crystal." Alves announced before Ma Kai finished speaking. He turned around and looked at his surprised captain and comrades. Alves just smiled faintly. "She has this ability, and the sword of the Phantom God proves it."

After speaking, Alvis walked up and held his long sword in both hands.

"Take it, my queen, my sword belongs to you! Prove to me that yesterday's scene was not an illusion, Lord Zersi agrees with you..."

It was his sword, a beautiful weapon, something that had brought Alvis so much glory.

But he doesn't think this power belongs to him.

I stretched out my hand, and the blade of the sword glowed...

Pick it up and it's so light.

Alves said it was heavy and dull in the wrong hands.

Does the Phantom God recognize me?

At this point, I pulled the long sword out of its scabbard, and the blade was still a beautiful purple color.

According to what Ma Kai said, I looked at Alves, and he immediately knelt down on one knee as if he understood.

I put the sword on his shoulder. I seemed to have heard what the oath of knighthood said, but now I have forgotten it.

If I say it, poets and bishops will sing it in the future.

"In the name of the flame, I canonize you as my knight."

Chapter 192 192.4000. 5000 years of frozen soil, 1 Lars of ice - [-]

Ladia wears non-slip boots on her feet, which are special boots made of the spirit wolf fur that lives in the mountains wrapped in the body of the shoe and its strong and durable claws placed on the sole. Both she and Mihir are wearing such shoes. Wearing a thick wolf fur cloak on his body.Legend has it that the highest point of the Kuanglong Mountains is 5000 Lal, and the mountain road is steep. Legend has it that only the brave and his companions climb here for pilgrimage.

"Pilgrimage, this place is obviously just full of monsters."

The Queen of Holy Sword continued to walk disdainfully, her steps not slow at all, while Mihir on the side also told her the story of the mountains without taking a breath.

"There will be monsters in places rich in Mana, and the most common ones are in dungeons that His Majesty has never visited... When powerful monsters die, Mana is born, and stronger evil is born. Powerful monsters attract treasure-hunting warriors, and we are now The situation is very similar.”

The black elf smiled, and the wind and snow blowing against their cheeks from time to time buried the sound in the deep white snow, and no echo could be heard.

"I am not for wealth, but for the people... Even if the peak is twice as high, I will still climb it."

"No one doubts your courage." Mihir inserted the long staff deeply into the snow. "This is also the reason why I follow you."

After bypassing the steep peak, there is a rickety suspension bridge in front of you, and below is an abyss of thousands of lair.Their equipment was too heavy, and Ladia felt it was too dangerous to go there, so Mihir cast a spell on her.The wooden bridge under their feet was immediately replaced by a rock bridge. It was solid and heavy, and after Ladia stepped on it several times, it felt solid enough.

The Queen of Holy Swords has always focused on glory, but it was only heights like this that gave her lingering fear.

Although the rock bridge is stable, there are no guardrails, so there is still a risk of falling if the soles of your feet slip.

"Do you need me to hold your hand? Your Highness Princess~" Mihir turned around and smiled at her, Ladia's cheeks turned red... She frowned and shook off the wheat-colored palm of the palace wizard and walked by on her own. .However, the soles of her feet were not as slippery as she thought. Mihir was a master of fire and earth magic, so this kind of thing was already within her scope of consideration.

After crossing the bridge and going around the mountainside in front of you, there is a small cave. There is no way to go further.

"We have to climb up tomorrow. I remember there was a road here before, but it seems to have been destroyed now..." Mihir said, pointing to the fault in the mountain road. "We have to climb the rock wall, which is why we need to prepare ropes. My earth magic can create a place where the rope can be fixed. As long as you are careful, it will be fine."

Ladia looked up at the almost vertical rock wall. How could it be okay?

The queen became timid. Everyone has their own things that they are afraid of... For her, this may be the most difficult thing to do in her life.

"But let's take a rest today." The wizard would not miss the queen's expression. Although she felt that being stricter with the sisters would often lead to interesting scenes, but now their task is arduous and they have no time to joke.

They had been walking for three days and three nights, with only one break. The bacon and bread in their bags had become hard.According to Ingrid, they have to go back and forth within five days. Now more than half of the time has passed, but there is still no end to this pilgrimage.

Ladia just wants to have a good rest so that she can face the steep cliff with more strength tomorrow, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for her.

She dragged her tired body inside, but she immediately discovered that this was not the Borderlands...

A huge lizard was lying there, but it had snow-white scales and sharp claws.
