Chris's Faith of Fire

"It's Earth Dragon." Mihir looked extremely calm. "The ones on the Kuanglong Mountains are naturally a subspecies that can adapt to low temperatures. Its power can easily crush rocks. It is not like a real dragon. Unfortunately, it has no intelligence and cannot fly... and it has no ability to breathe."

"I'd worry about what to do with it first if I were you."

"Even the little lizard has to worry about having to deal with the Dragon King Rex Hall?"

Her voice was very soft, but it seemed that Earth Dragon had been awakened.

Even if she wanted to blame her advisor, Ladia would wait until the battle was over.

"bhagavaan prakaash enaeeee ful, pradaan karana main mahaan aasheervaad (O great Nevra of Light, please do not hesitate to bestow your great blessings.)"

Quickly chanting the runes, the queen's mithril sword flashed with light... The lizard rushed towards Ladia without thinking. Although this guy's brain was very stupid, his movements were very fast. Ladia's whole body was tied up in thick clothes. She was like a rice dumpling and couldn't move quickly. She knew she only had one chance to swing her sword.

The earth dragon waved its sharp front claws and aimed at the queen in front of him. The claws were like six sharp daggers. There was a rustling sound of wind while waving them. Mihir took a step back. She had no intention of participating in this battle.Her magic would cause this small cave to collapse, and Ladia knew this. She concentrated all her strength on her metatarsals, and swung her sword the moment the earth dragon rushed over.The dawn star took away one of the horns of the earth dragon.

It let out a painful wail, and at this time Ladia quickly came behind the earth dragon. Almost at the same time, the thing whipped up its long tail.The Holy Sword Queen, who did not react, was hit hard and flew against the wall of the cave.

Careless!The slight concussion made the queen unable to see the enemy in front of her. Her long silver hair fell down... blocking some of her vision. Her long sword fell to the ground, and the mithril blade still shone with divine brilliance.She had to retrieve her weapon quickly. The queen stretched out her hand desperately, but the earth dragon turned around and pointed its huge mouth at her.

Each tusk looks like an extremely sharp blade.

Not even close... Enduring the fear and dullness of facing death, Mihir had already raised his wooden staff and was ready to chant magic.

But she didn't allow herself to be rescued like this.

She gritted her teeth, picked up her beloved sword, and reached out her hand almost the moment before the row of fangs touched her.The earth dragon was penetrated from its lower jaw to its huge head, and stopped motionless in front of the queen. She was still dizzy and sat down as if she was powerless.

"It's really amazing." What Mihir said was none of his business.

"I almost died...ha...ha..." Ladia gasped for air. "You must have a better way, Master Mihir."

"There are many...but it is best if you kill it. Now you have another title of dragon-slaying warrior."

"You have to stop joking!"

"Your sister, Princess Chris, can easily deal with such a monster now. Salamander's power is not inferior to that of a dragon."

"..." This sentence shut her up completely. The Queen of Holy Sword did not want to lose to her baby sister. She undoubtedly loved her, but she also hated her for being lazy, willful and without talent.

Now a sister like that has obtained the power of an elf that is far stronger than her own, which is hard for her to accept as she already calls herself a queen.Ladia struggled to hold her body up with her sword. Her head was still dizzy, but she no longer allowed herself to lie down.

"Now you probably need some rest."

"Maybe, but I need to stand up first."

Mihir smiled again. She picked up her cane and used rock magic to seal the entrance of the cave, leaving a third of the hole for ventilation. Then she piled up the branches that were originally the earth dragon's nest in the cave and placed them in the middle, and lit a fire. .

As the light illuminated, Ladia's field of vision became wider. The cave was much larger than they imagined.

Perhaps that's why the earth dragon built its nest here. There were two huge eggs on its nest, which were larger than the vase placed in the noble corridor.

"It looks like we can have extra meals."

"Can this thing be eaten..."

"With rich Mana, it can make you stronger, Your Majesty..."

After saying that, Mihir made a pot and bowl out of rocks, put the snow in the pot and started boiling the dragon eggs.

Ladia didn't stop. She took out a knife and cut the body of the earth dragon just now. This guy had a lot of good meat, and since its eggs were rich in mana, the body wouldn't change. Is that so?Her knife wanted to penetrate the Earth Dragon's body, but it was blocked by the snow-white scales.

After seeing this, Mihir reminded the Holy Sword Queen, "Your mithril sword is more useful than a knife. Maybe you can save some magic power while the light magic hasn't disappeared yet."

"Say Mana in front of me, Master Mihir."

"Yes ~ I'm very sorry."

No matter how sincerely she apologized, she would still feel unhappy, and Ladia finally understood how her sister felt when she was in the palace.This time Ladia inserted the long sword into the earth dragon's body and pulled away the scales. The flesh was no different from other creatures. Even an ordinary knife could cut it, but the fishy smell made the queen feel uncomfortable. Unable to breathe, she closed her eyes, then gritted her teeth and began to process the earth dragon's body. The meat of this thing was enough for them to survive on this mountain for another two days. It didn't matter if they couldn't take it away. Think of it as a storage point.Mihir's campfire had made her feel warm, even a little hot.Ladia took off her fishy-smelling clothes. Without the armor, she had a tight figure and a bumpy figure. She was obviously a girl who had grown up... Her hair had grown because of the potion Ingrid bought. Now draped on her back, the princess, who always only wears men's clothes, looks a little more feminine.

"It would be great if I knew water magic. Not only could I wash the dishes, but I could also let you take a bath~" the palace wizard said with a smile.

"I'm not as squeamish as Chrissy."

"Your Highness Crystal must have experienced extraordinary adventures now, and they may be quite different from what you imagined."

"I hope so. If she is really as strong as you said, I hope she will come back soon and make some contribution to Garnet."

Ladia was waiting for dinner before walking out of the cave entrance that blocked two-thirds of the area. The Yanbeard City could be seen below. Ingrid and the remaining nobles of Garnet were guarding there, and the orcs occasionally came Attacking but not too tricky.The demons and paladins who want to fight against the head of the army and the Holy See must also send out elite forces... The queen's sight drifted further to a forest, where the orcs' camp was not clearly visible.

"They won't attack so soon. The Demon King's plan does not end with the annihilation of humans." It seemed that Mihir was planning to tell her something again. "Demon kings in the past have been killed by brave men, but this time is different."

"It was sealed by the gods and the remaining elves... The six seals sealed it until two years ago, that is, when my father's temperament did not change drastically."

"You are right. Although I told you something about King Kane before, not everyone knows about the six seals."

Ladia looked back at the court wizard, and this time it was her turn to smile. "I am the king of the land below, not everyone you say."

"The demon king's body will die during the process of being sealed, but his soul will still exist. So he must be looking for his own body."

"Body?" It seems that Ladia is not clear about this matter, but it is not surprising that Mihir knows everything. She has been called an encyclopedia or a sage before, and she is quite famous even in other countries. .

"Just like the brave man who needs to awaken from Irene, the demon king is not perfect at the beginning... They are not in perfect form when they are first created, because the goddess will not allow perfect creatures to appear."

"The true people of Nefera, I'm talking about the gods..." Ladia corrected herself mid-sentence. She was almost taken to the pace of the wizard. She knew that these people, including Mihir, were Loyal only to infinite wisdom. "The gods say that they and their angels are perfect creatures."

"It's just talk. Don't worry about the gods... Angels are by no means perfect creatures."

Ladia didn't know why her tone was so certain, but she could tell that there was unquestionable authenticity in Mihir's words, and she would never talk nonsense.

"The Dragon King you are about to face is by no means a perfect creature. He once lost to his daughter Alexia... As a result, half of his inferior descendants followed the Dragon Queen and were attacked by the Demon King and became the victims of her father. Something to despise.”

The biggest difference between monsters and dragons is their control of Mana. Demons can devour creatures and make their Mana their own to become stronger and stronger. Monsters are always dissatisfied with the demand for Mana, and their hunger and thirst will It lasts until the last moment of life, and sinks into the endless abyss of hell with death.But this is not the case with dragons. Mihir knows that the dragon queen has not truly become a "demon". All high-level demons have the adaptability of dark attributes, and all of them can swallow magic power.

And what exactly are the dragons like, and how much help they can bring to this queen...

Mihir took the queen's arm and walked inside. She recited a rune "Lau (Calamity Fire)" and the walls of the cave immediately burned. After a while, a larger rune began to flash, and then this The wall completely disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was an even colder cave and an unfathomable depth.

The sage smiled at this time and said, "Do you want to rest all night? Or should we head straight ahead soon... Everything about the Dragon Clan is on this 4000-year-old frozen soil and 5000 Lal of ice. "

Chapter 193 193.4000. 5000 years of frozen soil, 2 Lars of ice - [-]

"Since you have discovered that there is a passage here, why did you just tell me that you must climb the peak?" The queen's face showed obvious dissatisfaction this time. She understood Mihir's character, but as a queen, there was no reason to be a servant anymore. tease.The wall that was in front of her just now was opened by Mihir's rune magic, and a deep passage appeared in front of her.

"Your accusation is too impulsive. This place was occupied by earth dragons just now... Of course I just discovered that if we hadn't seen the runes on the wall, we would have climbed to the top." The Black Fairy's words never sounded like this. Too hesitant, because she is the sage Mihir, so just believe it... My father once told Ladia that Mihir's loyalty and wisdom are definitely no more than doubtful. At the same time, she has no desires and desires. King Caine loved that he never formed cliques with other ministers in the court.

"I understand...just go ahead after eating."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After roasting some earth dragon meat and its eggs, Ladia frowned when she took the first bite of the roast meat. Without spices, the smell of the meat was too strong, and every bite was unpleasant to her. It was a challenge, and the meat was not tender enough. When I was grilling it, I wanted to get rid of the fishy smell, so I put it on the fire for a while. Now some places have hardened, and some places are a big piece of brocade.Now it seemed that it was really a wrong move. Ladia's tongue couldn't bear it. In the end, she simply swallowed it and let her stomach handle it...

"It tastes good." Mihir cracked the earth dragon egg shell, took out a piece with a rock spoon and ate it with relish.

"I've never had anything worse than this."

"You just said that you won't be as delicate and extravagant as Her Royal Highness Crystal."

"They are completely different things..." No matter what, Ladia did not give up the food she finally got. After learning about the mana contained in this food, she tried her best to eat more, even if she was better than herself yesterday. Just a little bit, she needs strength...

"Let's go." After finishing the 'big meal', she put on her coat and cloak again. Although it was stinky with the earth dragon's blood, there was no warm bonfire on this deep road. He and Mihir tore off some cloth, tied it into a torch, held it in their hands, illuminated the road in front of them, and moved forward slowly.Surrounded by rocks and with sharp ice picks above her head, the road was very narrow. The queen used her scabbard to smash the ice picks and then moved forward while holding on to the wall.As we go deeper, the road begins to become wider and straighter, and the zenith becomes higher, already more than 10 ral from the ground.

"We are getting closer to our destination," Mihir said.It was still freezing cold all around, and Ladia could still feel a wind blowing from the outside world.The next passage was divided into two. Mihir pointed to the right and said: "Here, there is a huge mana on the opposite side. I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Ladia believed her words and stepped forward.She saw something around the corner. The silvery white surroundings were the same color as her hair, and a black shadow appeared on the wall at the end of her field of vision.It looked like a person, very petite, not like the shadow of a man. Latiya's first reaction was to look at her feet. Even if it didn't look like her, she still had to make sure that it was not her... Mi Xi Er also saw it, and she showed a serious expression, "It seems that we are not the only travelers, Your Majesty..."

"Get ready for battle."

The Queen drew her sword as she said these words, but Mihir gently pressed the Queen's hand.

"Don't show any hostility yet, Your Majesty..."

What she said made sense, and the shadow looked like a child. She followed, and the shadow began to move, and the rustling footsteps reached Ladia's ears clearly.The only thought left in her mind was to catch up...

"Wait a minute!" the queen made a voice, but the shadow did not stop. It looked brisk, like a fairy. The two of them quickened their pace, and their attention was already on this figure.After going around one bend after another, and then passing through deeper caves, everything gradually began to become brighter.

She passed through countless detours, and the shadow was always one step ahead of the two of them, like an unknown guide, but it was unclear whether the road in front of her led to hope or death.Finally, the cave came to the end. There were no traces of snow or ice on the rock walls here. Instead, a burst of hot air came in. Ladia had a strong premonition. She took a deep breath, Keep walking forward... The field of vision has completely expanded. In front of you is a huge hollow space, as if the entire mountain range has been hollowed out from the middle. The opening of the mountain is like a huge well, blocking most of the field of vision, leaving a rough In the round sky, the stars have risen into the night sky.

It should have been dark here, but the magma flowing down from above illuminated the entire space.In front of the queen is a long aisle, with a perch in the middle, as huge as a tower. This aisle seems to be a long bridge connecting the king's tower. Ladia had seen something similar before in the Empire Palradi. Such a building, but at that time there was no magma shining bright red under the long bridge.

Ladia looked around. The small cave entrance she was in was not the only one. It was just one of many caves here. There were flying dragons living in other caves. They stretched their wings and stared at the visitors below.But they had no intention of attacking, and seemed to be suppressing their desires under some kind of order.

Ladia felt that the soles of her feet were a little weak. She hoped that Mihir could say something to her, but the black fairy did not say anything at this time. She stood quietly behind the queen. With her knowledge, of course she knew that They reach their destination, but any wrong words they say next will turn them into ashes.

The little figure just now was sitting high on the rock in the middle. Behind her was a huge body with dark red scales.The Dragon King "Rexhall" appears only in legends.

The Dragon King blinked and looked at the visitor, then closed his eyes again... not planning to say anything.

The little figure sitting boldly in front of the Dragon King was calm and composed, as if he was the master of this place.

She jumped down... The Queen, who felt a little dazed, saw her face clearly.

She was a petite girl like her sister Chris. If Chris hadn't grown taller in the past two years... her bright red hair was as straight as a waterfall hanging down to her knees. She was wearing a white dress and her feet were She wasn't wearing any shoes, but no stains could be seen. Her expression was smiling. Her smile was cute and creepy at the same time.

"If it was Veda who came later, you would have been broken into pieces by Rex Hall and the dragons, big sister." She said like that, her voice high and clear, even in the majesty of this place where ice and fire meet. Still inferior to her sense of presence, Mihir smiled softly as if he understood something.

"This is the last elf..." she said.

"The black big sister here seems to know a lot of things. You seem to have guessed my identity."

The little girl who called herself Veda took a step forward and already had the intention to talk to them.

Mihir did not miss this opportunity, "Zerodia, the wind elf orc tribe in the east, has long been famous in Parthia, Nome, the earth elf in the south, is under the command of the Demon King, and Princess Crystal, the fire elf in the north, is She is the younger sister of the lord in front of you. It is an honor to be able to see you in this honor, Lord Water Elf of the West."

Ladia was confused, but she still allowed herself to adapt to their conversation as quickly as possible, and picked the right moment to speak the lines she had prepared when the girl Veda looked at her.

"Ladia of the Macefield family, the Queen of the Holy Sword of Garnet...I am seeking the power to fight against the Demon King." The long echo penetrated around the rock wall, and the dragons who heard these words clearly raised their heads. They raised their heads, like an audience after hearing the highlights of a play, and cast all their eyes in front of the girl who called herself the queen. Then the Dragon King Rex Hall also opened his eyes.

The dragon moved his huge body, Ladia felt a little unsteady on the soles of her feet, the magma began to boil, and the entire mountain range trembled.

"Demon King?" This endless voice didn't seem to come from the dragon's mouth, but poured directly into the queen's ears. "The rats that come up from the ground will cause harm to the world every few hundred years."

"In this case...I hereby ask for your help, Dragon King..."

The Queen of the Holy Sword mustered up her courage. Even if she didn't say it out loud, the Dragon King and Veda would understand her purpose.

The human mind is too easy to guess. Weak things hope to achieve their goals with strong power. This is the criterion for their actions. Rex Hall lost interest and continued to close his eyes.Ladia felt her heart being squeezed at this moment.

"Hahahahaha~" the girl laughed. "You can't be so reserved if you want to attract the dragon's attention, Queen of Holy Swords."

Veda walked up to her and touched Ladiya's cheek. Her small palm became cold and warm after a moment, "What a beauty. If you could be more confident, you would be even more beautiful."

"Confidence?" The queen was puzzled. She always put honor first and never lowered her head.

The girl seemed to see through her mind. "You feel that your power is weak and helpless... not enough to face the Demon King, because your sister has become a 'superior' and has the potential to rival the gods. The power of elves is strong and disordered, and they only fight for Fight for your own ideas, even the legendary Dragon King must obey."

The girl looked back at the dragon... He didn't respond. All the dragons just lowered their heads when faced with such insults, and didn't even dare to make a sound.There was no need to prove that Ladia also believed that this girl was extraordinary and her ability was higher than that of the Dragon King. And would her sister Chris become like this? She felt a little scared.

Their strength far exceeds mine, and I am as insignificant as an ant in front of Long and this girl.

"You can go back now. We will forgive your trespassing this time." Veda whispered in her ear with a sweet voice. "Tell your people that you have no ability to ask for help from Rex Hall. You can only let them continue to fight bloody battles against those dark creations."

...Go...go back...your wish is too small.

Such a voice sounded in the Queen of Holy Sword's head. If she continued to stay here, she might lose her life.

Even Mihir next to him shed a rare cold sweat.

Ladia half-opened and closed her lips. She had never felt as helpless as she did today, but at the same time, another kind of faith was quietly ignited at this moment...the faith of fire that burned even in the storm.

"Even without Salamander's power, I will not cower in front of the devil." She said loudly.

The Dragon King raised his head, and the Queen of the Holy Sword clearly saw that the horn on his head had been cut off.

"Alexia is in the East Land..." She kept her voice low, and this time all the dragons began to flap their wings, as if to warn her not to continue talking. "She will return to this mountain range one day. Will you still be able to maintain this majestic posture by then?"

After hearing this, the Dragon King finally raised his proud head, his wings stretched out to cover the sky and the moon. The scars on the wing membranes represented his antiquity and the traces of time.He flew down, his two strong legs almost crushing the aisle. He opened his huge mouth, right in front of the Holy Sword Queen, her silver hair flying, and the wind of fire seemed to have turned her into ashes.

But Latiya never took a step back.

She firmly believed that she could not be swallowed by the flames, and her true red eyes met the Dragon King's.

"I am the flame! I will eventually burn the land of Eogard and purify all evil..."

"You can't...woman..."

"I have that kind of power. From the day I survived the sword of the Demon King's army, I was no longer a woman. I was just a ball of unburned flame!" Her only weapon at the moment was words, and Ladia no longer cared about it. Other than that, she just wanted to say what she wanted to say at the moment. "It's not for the goddess Nefera, nor for the revival of Garnet...those are just small things." She faced her original thoughts faithfully, while Mihir was surprised that Ladia, who had just reminded her to respect the goddess, actually Say something like this.

"I just want to burn, for the faith of fire in my heart! This has nothing to do with anyone or anything, it's just that I simply want to do it! And you also understand that it can't be done without doing it! Even in this 4000-year-old frozen soil Even 5000 Lars of ice cannot make the strongest city wall."

Rex Hall had placed his mouth on her head, and his sharp teeth touched her soft skin.

"If you are not burning, you are waiting to die." She only said this softly, but it was clear enough to the giant dragon who was so close.

"..."

"..."
