Chris's Faith of Fire
Page 211
He turned over and looked up at the gray stone ceiling. "When we do this kind of thing, we either want to exercise our physical strength...or we want to weaken our will. It is not meaningless. The former one may not be until we are completely exhausted." Habit, and the latter, of course, is when we break down and give in.”
"The analysis is very reasonable. Should I fire Neil and appoint you as a consultant? It's a pity that Neil was not caught..."
"What a pity. Maybe he is thinking of a strategy to rescue us now." Alves seemed to no longer want to answer Ma Kai. Although this rogue mercenary was powerful, in this predicament he was just a wordy and noisy name. Mouth, no one can sleep.
Hearing Alves's answer, he just sneered, and then murmured: "Get us out? I'm afraid that guy has escaped. No one can believe it, the only one who can rely on is himself."
Alves really wanted to reply, then you can get out of this cage by yourself, but he is not ignorant to this extent. He has no advantage at all in a fight with Ma Kai without the Sword of the Illusion God. He might also be punished by the jailer. If possible, Alves really hoped that the jailer would find this noisy guy and take him away to move the boxes instead of making noise whenever he found the opportunity. But this also shows that he has not yet suffered a mental breakdown. That's the point.
"Today's moon is really round~" Ma Kai was unwilling to be alone again. Even if Alves hit his tongue, he didn't care at all. He could say whatever he wanted in this gray rock wall. Because it was dark, he only had his voice. Alvis was afraid that he would make some mischief if he didn't say anything, so he responded, "It's almost time for the 60-day birth. The nobles must be holding a banquet, so the jailers are temporarily participating as guards." Are you on duty in Wangcheng?"
"How can it be so exaggerated for something like this that happens once every two months, and the empire shouldn't be so short of manpower."
Noelle's hometown is understandable. After all, his father and the others have been living with the villagers, and they are enjoying themselves.
Ma Kai shook his head after hearing this.
"Shuangzhi... things that the citizens don't care about, the nobles care about very much. Speaking of which, young master, Alvis... have you ever heard a story? About this empire's story, a girl named Princess Shuangyue s story."
"Princess of Two Moons? I have never heard of it. I would like to hear the details~"
Noelle seemed very interested compared to Alves who lacked interest. Anyway, one audience was enough.
He ignored the frowning Alves and began to tell his own story. As a wandering knight who had just arrived, he heard the story from others in the tavern. Alves once heard it from MacKay when he was drunk. Stories that have been there.
Chapter 239 234. Twin Moon Princess——2
This empire was once occupied by five small kingdoms, one of which was called Kors.
As one of the five countries, Coles has rich soil but lacks military power. Fortunately, the five countries respect each other, maintain peace, and have quite developed commerce. This land itself should be quite prosperous.Remember the adventurer Kallis, yes, the prototype whose name was later reversed as the currency name Kasley. He once described this as the richest land in the Eogard continent, and the human heart is as pure as the blue sky. , and the aroma of milk can be smelled everywhere on the plains, as it should be.
Until the king of Kors married a goddess and had children.The name of the goddess has not been recorded, but it is said that she is a true citizen of Nefera who was born in the empire since she was a child. Although a true citizen has become a god, she still has a human heart. She cannot forget the king who saved her when she was weak, so He agreed to the king's proposal, and the kings of the other four countries went to the wedding. They were very happy to see the two people in harmony, and each gave their blessings.
Later, the goddess gave birth to two beautiful girls to the king. The one with her father's black hair was called Princess Red Moon, while the one with her mother's golden hair was called Princess Cang Yue.They have been very close since childhood and their faces are very similar despite their different hair colors.It is not just the gift of the goddess's appearance. The two princesses showed their talents at a very young age. Princess Chiyue is good at martial arts and likes swordsmanship. Although Princess Cangyue has no special skills, the king gradually found that adults are willing to surround Princess Cangyue. She is also more popular at the dance.
Who is the most talented?Princess Chiyue sneered at Princess Cangyue, "It's just attracting men with your looks. Anyone can do this kind of thing, but you are violating your noble status."
Princess Cang Yue was naturally very angry after hearing this, "What does it mean to betray your sex appearance? How could I, as a princess, do such a thing? After all, my sister is just practicing swordsmanship every day, and even her brain has become dull, and she cannot communicate with others at all. If you can’t do it, you still slander your sister casually.”
At this time, a rumor spread on the streets of Coles for some reason, "The king is an ordinary person, and the queen is a true citizen of Nefera, that is, the goddess. In this case, will the two princesses also inherit the sanctity of their mother?" Woolen cloth?"
Princess Chiyue insists that she is a true citizen of Nefera, because her swordsmanship is so superb that even adult swordsmen are no match for her. This view is accepted by the majority of people who do not know the situation of the Wang family. At the same time, rumors It also slowly spread to the ears of the nobles.If Princess Chiyue is a true citizen of Nefera, then we must stand by her side, but that princess simply lacks the way to behave in the world. She disdained the nobles of other countries at the banquet and did not even have basic social etiquette. Very lacking, he must not have the talent to succeed to the throne.If she is recognized as a true citizen of Nefera, how can we live a stable life?
So the ministers flocked to Princess Cang Yue's faction, and some even said that Princess Cang Yue was Nefera's true citizen. As a result, the two people who had a good relationship at first gradually became estranged and even started to show hostility.
Finally one day, this hostility broke out.
That day Princess Cang Yue went out to patrol the King Street Avenue. The people were influenced by the nobles and gradually accepted their statement. The noble Princess Cang Yue was a true citizen of Nefera, while Princess Cang Yue was just a wild child who was good at martial arts. .Everyone who was very interested in the princess of Cang Yue ran out to see the princess. The princess was also very knowledgeable. She got off the carriage and distributed clothes and coins to the poor people.
At this moment, a girl in ragged clothes suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. Before anyone understood what was going on, Princess Cang Yue had turned pale. A dagger was inserted in her chest, and the blade was deep. Plunging deeply, only the wooden handle can be seen.
Princess Cang Yue passed away. Everyone thought it was Princess Chi Yue's fault, and she admitted it.
The king would not allow such behavior. He also hanged Princess Chiyue. The overly sad princess left the king. The news that Nefera's true people would cause disaster also spread among the nobles of the five countries.They showed less and less respect for God, and in the end, some people actually tried to build a tower to the sky to meet the true people of Nefera.But this incident removed the original Coles. The king was too sad and ignored political affairs. At this time, another god came. He said that he would destroy those people who were disrespectful to the gods, and his princess would come back.The king believed it, and he sent troops to conquer the four countries. With the help of God, Coles won every battle and finally established an empire. But in the end, the God failed to fulfill his promise-the princess will never come back again, because of you Humans are too stupid.
God said this before leaving, leaving the emperor sitting alone on the steps of the palace.
And the empire has also set a rule since then.
A woman cannot be an emperor, and twin girls are a symbol of something ominous.
After finishing the story, Noelle frowned...with a sad expression.
And Ma Kai seemed to have discovered something else.
"Do you think it's too quiet tonight?" Ma Kai also lay down and crossed his legs, holding a straw in his mouth.
"How can I be quiet when you are here?" Alves's words revealed his contempt.
Noelle, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed a clue in Ma Kai's words. Normally, if Ma Kai was so noisy, the jailer would probably come to their cell with clattering boots and scold a few people or do extra work. However, His words seemed too deliberate today. Ma Kai is a smart man, and smart people will not let themselves get hurt more.
After a while, just when the three of them were wondering if all the jailers had gone out to drink tonight, the clicking of boots began to sound, and it was plural.The dungeons of this empire are not very deep, and you often have to walk to the cells where prisoners are held to hear the sound.The wet ground made the sound of water when the shoes were stepped on, and Ma Kai was even able to analyze the size of the person's feet.
"One is very underweight, maybe a girl."
"Indeed, unlike the usual grumpy footsteps, one even exchanged steps and walked very gracefully."
"Could it be that it's Chris?" Noelle's words made Ma Kai laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, young master~ You miss your little lover too much. Could it be that they would come over so loudly from the front?"
Yes, it's impossible... Noelle felt ashamed of his thoughts again. He wanted to cure his disease called innocence, but it never worked well. He had some unresolved knots. Before that, he I can't make myself decisive.
The three people's hearts were beating fast. No matter who it was, they felt that they might be out of this situation.
Gradually, the footsteps got closer.
The three of them were sitting up until they appeared, it was indeed a girl, and she had two knights with her.
"Princess of Chiyue?"
Noelle had this impression when he first saw the girl, perhaps because Ma Kai had just told the story.
But for such a heroic princess, she originally thought that she would never be able to find another one besides Ladia.
When they arrested the martial princess Andrea that day, Noelle didn't take a close look at her appearance, but now...
But she appeared in front of the three people.
Chapter 240 235. Twin Moon Princess——3
Chrissy’s perspective:
I was too naive.
The time for talking with Fami has passed. I have thought a lot. I wanted to pour it out in one breath and let him know how I feel...because I like him. If everything is over, maybe I can become a partner with him. This is something deep down in my heart.I hope I can go back to the little girl in the palace. Although my appearance has not changed much, I still feel that 10 years have passed.
Reality will never become a fairy tale, so the sweet love story ends here.In fact, maybe I don’t like him that much, it’s just the suspension bridge effect, there is no prince who is loyal only to you... Boys always say they love you the most, and they will give up everything for you, but such vows are so beautiful in other places. The girl's eyes will be shattered.
I looked back at the closed door, and it was time for their conversation... That girl was an emperor, with dazzling blond hair and noble status. She was almost exactly the same as me. At the same time, she would not remain a little girl like me. look.Ailian will slowly grow up and become a mature and beautiful woman, and Fami may be unable to extricate herself from her.
I don’t want to stay here any longer, as if I am about to become redundant...
If possible, I would like to go back to the time when the country was still alive. Although Fami was just my attendant at that time, a wolf boy picked up from the street, but maybe I wouldn't be heartbroken if I didn't fall in love with him.
Why can’t I fall in love with Noel even though he’s more gentle and gentlemanly to me?It's just because he is a hero that I maintain such an ambiguous attitude. I treat him with a smile every time and then go to Fami. I am really a bad girl.
So now it's comeuppance.
As I stepped forward, Elaine said that I could take a shower while they talked, and that she had arranged for the maid to prepare decent clothes for me.Yes, from her point of view, I am just a dirty slave girl. Although my pride cannot bear such charity, I don't want to be looked down upon.The maid waiting at the door led me out of the emperor's bedroom, the highest point, and walked through the red carpet corridor, admiring the famous paintings along the way.The Empire's large bathroom is more surprising than imagined. The symbol here is a dragon, which is different from the Dragon King Rex Hall, but a black poisonous dragon.The hero stepped on the dragon's head, and warm water trickled out from it. If you guessed correctly, that hero was the God of War Sigurdfeld. According to legend, he once slayed a dragon alone and took a dragon's blood bath. From then on, he was able to obtain steel and iron bones, and then No gun, sword or magic could hurt him.
The upper-class warriors of this country worship the God of War, while the mercenaries regard the Phantom God as their patron saint. One believes in force, while the other believes in skills and stealth operations. However, the Phantom God Zerxi who has appeared twice in my dreams is not them. The look she admires is that of a helpless and fragile girl. The hood and mask are not worn to cover her face, but to cover her heart.
Thinking of this, I could only smile slightly and take off all my clothes. I still have the body of a little girl. There are some sunburns from fighting in the arena for a month, but it is still smooth and tender.
Fami, you big idiot... If you had spoken to me properly, if you had spoken to me more gently, it would have made my heart palpitate a little bit...
It’s not that I can’t have some closer contact with you…
Why are you looking for another woman?
Such words would only appear in my mind secretly, and I walked towards the bathtub expressionlessly.The maid who attended the bath came up to me and I waved my hand and declined. Now I wanted to stay alone for a while. The maid didn't say much. She just folded the dress neatly in the bamboo basket at the door and bowed and left. Not all maids are like this. Sophie is so nosy...
But those days are gone forever. From time to time, I would have such pretentious thoughts, because I had lost too much, and I didn't think so at the time.
Soaking the whole body in the green medicinal bath, the fatigue I felt in the arena seemed to have been relieved. I sighed and enjoyed the warm hot water and this moment of tranquility. The bathroom in the palace naturally has high-end tree sap shampoo and Soap for cleaning dirt, using these things is both strange and familiar at the same time.For a moment, I wanted to just walk out of the bathroom and see if I could see the familiar cold air and the unique light blue sky of the north outside the castle window.
I scooped up a handful of water with my own hands and poured it down from the top of my head... The water in this palm seemed to take away the chaotic thoughts. My brain became organized again and I began to think about what to do next.
My intention was to leave here and take Noel and my companions with me, but I had to go through some twists and turns because I was punished by Princess Andrea. Now Emperor Aaron, also known as Ailian, seems to be heading towards On our side, at least she listens to Fami.Although he is called a puppet emperor, he does not have any power to make decisions.She and the martial arts princess Andrea are two extremes. When we were in the arena, I saw a butterfly-like tattoo on Andrea's back. At that time, she was the crazy Heltie, both in terms of personality and warlikeness. Unlike Andrea, this difference is just like the Imperial people's belief in the God of War and the Illusionary God, they can never belong to the same person.Although they are both good at martial arts, their types are different. Excluding the extreme elements, she reminds me of my sister. There is absolutely no way I can deal with someone like my sister... so I can only place my hope on Ailian.
It is not okay to be willful, now we must put the overall situation first...
I walked out of the bath and wiped my body and hair with a towel. Unknowingly, my hair had grown to my shoulders, although my body remained completely unchanged.The maid prepared for me a set of maid clothes that were the same as hers. It was different from the short skirt of Rod Cullo Saint, but an elegant long skirt, a black skirt and a white ruffled shirt and a pair of exquisitely made The high-heeled boots make this maid uniform look decent enough. Indeed, if you want to stay with Eileen, it would be best to disguise yourself as a maid.
Following the original path again, I saw all the famous paintings on the road, stepped on the soft carpet wearing new shoes, and came to the heavy door again.
Fami and Ailian were waiting for me there.
"It suits you very well, Miss Maid~" Ailian said with a smile.
"So, does Fami want to wear the clothes of an attendant?"
The jealousy that she still couldn't bear turned into words and blurted out, to which Ailian just shook her head.
"No~ Fami, he is the guard I hired at a high price~" As she said this, she hugged Xiaolang's arm, regardless of the fact that she had transformed into a man's clothing, and looked at my frowning unconvinced look.
Be patient, be patient, Crystal... The future is often determined by small details, and it would be too shameless to argue with the emperor over a man here.
A smile appeared on his face, "So, Your Majesty, what was the result of the conversation between you and Mr. Fami just now? What should we do next?"
After hearing what I said, she felt like she had lost interest and gently let go of Fami's arm.
"Your companions, I will let them go..."
"what?"
"I will let you and your companions go, Princess Crystal. I hope you can help me when I need them in the future."
As she said that, a sincere smile appeared on her lips for the first time.
Chapter 241 236. Twin Moon Princess——4
"But will Willard give up so easily...or do you have any plans, Your Majesty?" I asked respectfully, even the breath in my words became lower, showing respect for the big shot.
"You don't have to worry about this. Willard just wants money. He has a basic estimate of your matter. Although he quoted [-] by himself, I believe that I will agree to it, which is far beyond him." It was expected, and all businessmen are like this. And..." After changing the subject, the girl looked at the black-haired boy beside her and nodded, as if she had absorbed the courage from him in an instant.
"I am the emperor of this country. If I don't even have this authority, what is the use of the word emperor?"
Probably because of what she had talked with Fami, I always felt that she was completely different from before. Not only was she confident in her words, but she also lost the childishness in her brows.I nodded, bowed, and then followed the emperor with Fami. Fami looked at me, but I didn’t look at him. Now I don’t want anything to disturb me, especially this little wolf. Eye……
Walking through this corridor for the third time, only the footsteps became triple pairs. The dungeon is outside the castle, at the west corner. There is a training ground, but the facilities are simple and do not seem to be built for knights. The surrounding areas It was surrounded by a circle of low buildings, and there were many wooden boxes placed on the grass. It looked like an abandoned warehouse.
Her Majesty Ailian did not explain anything to us. She just walked to the door of the dungeon. Fami frowned slightly as he looked at the weedy corner and the rusty iron door.
"I want to see some prisoners." Ailian, who had changed into men's clothing, said to the guards.
"Your Majesty, this is not suitable for..."
"Do you want me to say it a second time?" She showed her anxiety and put her hand on the hilt of her sword. Seeing this, the guard hurriedly saluted and apologized, "Yes, I will follow your order!"
The guard led the emperor down. The place was not as deep as expected, but it was divided into many layers. In the deepest part, it seemed as if some terrible demon was imprisoned and only darkness could be seen, making people afraid to approach.Walking down the rotating stone steps, the guard said that all the prisoners who had passed through the trial house within a month were on this floor. After hearing this, Ailian nodded and motioned for him to stand aside and wait. Most of the cells here were iron cells, but cells and cells There is a certain distance between them, and the prisoners can only look at each other. If they make too much noise, they will definitely be punished by the guards.The evidence is that when they saw Ailian, who was wearing a luxurious beige robe, they didn't dare to say a word. They just focused their eyes shining with hatred and unwillingness on us, and their peripheral vision was still aimed at the guards standing aside.
"Are there any of your companions here?" Ailian asked as if she didn't even believe it herself. The people here were mediocre in appearance and disgraced, and most of them were unlucky ghosts brought about by Princess Wu's strict legal system. They didn't even How can such a person who dares to complain loudly about his misfortune seem to be a comrade-in-arms of Fami and I?
After walking around, I looked around every corner but couldn't find him, so I had no choice but to shake my head at Ailian.
"Is it down there?" she asked the guard.
"No, Your Majesty, there are all prisoners here. However, Her Royal Highness Andrea took away a group of prisoners not long ago. Among them was a blond boy, a few orcs and some people dressed as mercenaries... …”
Before he finished speaking, I was already sure that Princess Wu was one step ahead of us.
"Your Majesty, it seems..."
"Yes... Guard, do you know where my sister has gone?"
"I'm very sorry, I have no right to ask about this."
"Okay, then, has Lord Willard been here?"
"No, not at all... Her Royal Highness asked us to step back temporarily when she came. Also with her was Lord Lorraine, the leader of the knights."
His expression didn't look like he was lying, and Ailian nodded and asked him to leave.
"Okay, now we must discuss other countermeasures."
The emperor said helplessly.
Back in the emperor's bedroom, she still entrusted the maid to prepare desserts and tea. Fami didn't like sweets, so she didn't plan to eat anything. Even if she wanted to create a more relaxed atmosphere, our current heavy atmosphere could not be relieved. Today should be able to solve everything, I had such expectations after hearing Ailian's words.
We finally left Anatolia, met our companions on the adventure, dealt with the traitors, and then went to Parthia to obtain an army from Princess Zelotia, and left in a mighty manner...Ask the vast land, who The main ups and downs?
The brave man awakens. Under my command, we march towards the north with everyone. Everything should be recorded in the travel notes of adventurers and heroic epics sung by bards. I thought my story would start there, but this Once again... fate told me again that it's not that simple.
Although the devil is a great enemy, our enemy is not just the devil.
"This time things are in trouble." Fami said.
The atmosphere became heavy, and everyone knew that things would not be resolved so easily.
We are falling into a deeper situation, like a deep nightmare from which we cannot wake up.
