Chris's Faith of Fire

When we get up tomorrow, we have to face one of our enemies. Whether it was my enemy or not is meaningless now.

We must first obtain information from his mouth and know who our enemy is within these few days.

Know the location of Noelle and the others, and finally take everyone away from this chaotic country.

"May God bless you."

I raised my head and looked at the vast starry sky. Only now did I understand why so many people in this world believe in the goddess I have never met.

Chapter 245 240. Twin Moon Princess——8

The man put down the crystal clear glass with his right hand. The fruit wine exuded a bright red color, not that deep, nor light enough to be transparent. "Your Majesty, some people have said that you are missing in the past two days. I am really sweating because of this."

"This is unfounded. Some uneasy and well-intentioned people are spreading rumors." Ailian didn't want to continue this topic. Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and Rashu also lowered his head slightly to express his apology.

"Presumably everyone is worried that His Majesty the Emperor may have misunderstood something."

"I don't know what to worry about when I'm in my room every day."

Communication with the most powerful nobles in the empire will not be limited to a small room. There is a rock top behind the royal castle. It is called "Heaven Garden", but everyone usually just calls it the garden, roses and iris. Flowers decorated the place like a fairyland on earth. Aileen said she liked tulips the most. There was a flower bed filled with flower clusters as beautiful as her blond hair.A small pavilion was built on the edge of the flower field, on the edge of the cliff at the top of the rock. They could clearly see the entire city, but this paradise seemed to remind everyone how dangerous the next conversation was.

"On the contrary, it is precisely because you have always been in the deepest part of the palace that people are worried. Nowadays, there are often some juniors who do not know the rules and try to deceive His Majesty."

"Are you talking about Spark?" Her Majesty Elaine was straightforward. Her purpose was to ask about Rashu and Andrea's enemies, but it seemed that she still lacked some experience in speaking. Lord Rashu just laughed at this. laughed.

"As His Majesty's minister, I shouldn't sow discord, but this is indeed something that should be paid attention to. If you remember correctly, that guy took charge of the arena and made the arena games that were originally held every half a month open every day. Thanks to him The slave trade also became prosperous, especially among slave traders, who almost never paid taxes."

I have looked at the map of the city in Ailian's room in the past two days. I remember that there is a large market on the Merchant Noble Street north of the canal. Naturally, there is also slave trading in it. The tax on slave trading is [-]% higher than other taxes. Willard If so, he got me directly from the city's trial court, and the guards obeyed his instructions. There must be some illegal income in the process.

In other words, he bypassed the law and the princess and directly obtained the sword slaves. However, it seems that he will not take away a large number of prisoners, but only selects the good ones. If the princess had not taken away Noelle directly two days ago, a group of them would have entered the competition. The market became a means for Willard to make profits.

"I will take care of Spark's problem in the future." Eileen didn't seem to want to continue this topic. Willard was a nobleman she promoted, and the emperor's prestige would be questioned if he was easily denied now.

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to handle him now. It's easy to beat a dog, but it's hard to beat a group of dogs."

His words were full of confidence and irresistible persuasion, and even I felt that handling Willard's matter was the first priority now.

I had been standing behind Ailian, watching this man carefully. He had long blond hair and exposed most of his forehead. He looked like he was dressed like a fairy... But I had never seen a male fairy. , Mihir is from the dark elf clan, which seems to be different from the forest elf clan.This adult looks to be in his 40s, with bottomless eye sockets, and his figure is not out of shape at all. Ailian told us before that he was already in his 50s, but it is really hard to tell.

"The maid behind you has been staring at me." Rashu's gaze suddenly glanced towards me, "She is such a little beauty with silver hair and red eyes."

Ailian's body trembled and she turned around quickly, "I'm sorry, what are you doing..."

"I'm sorry... because Lord Rashu is younger and more handsome than the rumors say, so..."

I hurriedly thought of words to explain. Fami was just keeping a distance because he was carrying a sword, so it was entirely my fault for attracting Lord Rashu's attention.

Ailian didn't care about this. She waved her hands as if she was irritated, "That's enough! Bring me some more almond biscuits."

"Yes, it is!"

I hurriedly retreated. Yesterday she said she was afraid of being killed by Mr. Rashu on the spot at the tea party...

But now he deliberately pushed me away? Silver hair and red eyes caught his attention, but I have never seen this Duke in my memory. There are very few people in the Northern Empire, and I don’t think there will be more. We have always been separated by The sea of ​​fog looks at each other and maintains peace, while communicating with each other very rarely.

However, Ailian's attitude was also a bit overreactive. Maybe there was something she didn't want me to hear.

She has been nervous and trembling. Does it take such courage to just talk to Lord Rashu... Obviously the Lord is not armed and has no servants following him, so there should be nothing to worry about.

Walking out of the garden, Fami was guarding there. He was wearing the clothes of a guard, but he didn't wear any armor that would get in the way.Although he is no longer short, Xiaolang's body is still that of a child. He cannot support the heavy plate armor. The adventurer's cloak and leather armor feel more suitable for him.

"Ai Lian... No, His Majesty Aaron asked me to get some almond biscuits."

"I'm with you, she was ready before."

"is it?"

"Well, we have other tasks."

"Task?"

"Yes, she only told me before."

But she didn't tell me, am I so untrustworthy?

Naturally, I won’t say this now, because I also know that time is precious now. I keep up with him, and Fami keeps walking very fast... He is rarely as gentle as Noel and Alves, and knows how to cooperate with me. pace.

We walked up the rock peak and turned around from here to the back entrance of the castle. When we came from here, the guards were also guarding the back entrance to check all comers.

"Chris, don't look back from here."

"Ok?"

He tightened my hand, turned around and pushed me against the rock wall.

"Stupid, stupid! What are you doing at this time!" My voice was very small but my movements were beating his chest fiercely.

Our current location is at the corner of the mountain road. The winding passages and rock walls almost completely block our bodies. If no one passes by, no one will notice what he does. Are you dissatisfied to this extent?There is obviously that cute and well-behaved Ailian!I understand, it’s because living with you is too much of a hindrance, right? Now you’re venting your desires on me, don’t go too far!

Just when I was about to hit him on the head, the boy put his index finger between his lips, signaling me not to make too much noise.

"Chris, don't get excited...look behind me."

"behind?"

I looked towards where Fami was pointing. There was a man sneaking up to the rock peak. His hands were grasping the rock wall and he had already fixed himself with ropes.

Only I can see that position now. He was almost reaching the top but stopped there. He must have been eavesdropping on the conversation between Elian and Rashu!

How could a guard like this be placed in the back mountain, and it seems that his skills are not ordinary.

Could it be that the guards in the city also let him in?This is the "Heaven Garden" at the back of the castle. Entering without permission is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is only possible that even the guards are people under Princess Andrea or Willard. Now their possibility is even higher. Bigger.

"Chris, shoot him with flames, just a smaller one..."

"I see. Is that why you came to me?"

It's not that Fami wanted to do anything to me...he was wearing a completely different maid outfit and he didn't even say a compliment.

"What's wrong, Chris? I feel like you're a little disappointed. Did you guess it a long time ago?"

"No..."

I only said half of the words. I concentrated on gathering the mana on my fingertips and made a very small shot. If it was too powerful, it would kill him. If it was too small, it would not cause any damage. Let's alert the snake.

So I looked at his rope, something like that could burn with one shot.

I aimed my fingertips there, and tiny flames came out.

The rope was cut with a snap, and the man was startled and immediately clung to the rock wall.

Fami was not idle either. He then threw a flying knife and pierced the back of the man's hand deeply. The man let go of the rock wall and fell down. He was injured in mid-air. It seemed that he wanted to minimize the impact on himself. s damage.

He arched his body slightly and immediately took off, running straight towards the man's landing point almost as soon as he hit the rope.

Maybe because the height was not high enough, he did not fall to death, but the man fell on his back and kept moaning on the ground. I looked over the rock wall and stone steps towards the back door of the castle. Sure enough, the two guards were no longer there. Sure enough, they noticed ?

No matter what, the task now seems to be to interrogate the prisoner in front of him.

After that, Fami took this man away. He is a vampire... He has the ability to suggest. Although he is not very good at it, he said that there is nothing wrong so I can rest assured. Also... I don't want to watch this kind of interrogation. To the extent that Fami's words to men are often mercilessly violent.I hope he can be merciful and not kill the other person in anger.

By the way, I seem to have seen that person somewhere. He has a stubble on his face and seems to be in the economic field. If I guessed correctly, he must be a sword slave.

So he's from Willard?But since Andrea also took away prisoners from the prison, it was Noelle and the others, so it’s not absolute.

Later, when I sent Ailian almond biscuits, the conversation between her and Mr. Rashu seemed to have ended. The expressions on their faces were very calm, as if they had reached some kind of deal. Finally, when Mr. Rashu passed by me, he was He also said, "Thank you, beautiful girl." It was unclear what he meant. Is a little girl like me also within his acceptance range?But I don’t think Rashu is a person with such dirty desires. He looked calm and upright throughout, giving him the demeanor of a big shot.

Today's task ends here. In terms of conversation, Ailian and Rashu have reached a consensus, but she didn't tell me before that someone would eavesdrop and let me solve it. No wonder her condition is weird today. Don't think about it for now. Now, there are still two days before the birth, and I always feel that what stands in front of us will be a bloody banquet.

Chapter 246 241. Twin Moon Princess——9

There is only one day until Shuangzhi is born. Although there are still subordinates sent out before to report the new situation, does it seem like it is too late now?Andrea was walking by the terrace, with a sword on her waist and her right hand on the hilt, not daring to relax.As she did, so would others, she was wary of assassins... just as others were wary of themselves.

The door was pushed open, and a blond knight appeared behind him. He had a handsome face and his heart was as upright as his appearance.He took three steps forward and curtsied in front of the princess. "Your Highness, the things you requested have been arranged."

Lorraine's voice was like the strings of a lyre, gently plucked in the silent and dull air, echoing in her mind.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lorraine...always."

Her words were filled with a deep sense of exhaustion, as if she hadn't closed her eyes for several nights.

"It is my honor to serve you." The young man answered her, he worked hard without complaint.

Andrea looked at this noble knight. He is the eldest son of Rashu, the son of the culprit who used our sisters as puppets to control the government and the public.There were five seats in the imperial senate, four of whom were under the orders of Rasu, and the remaining one was Andrea herself.

She originally thought that she could be like a hero, like the prince of restoration in fairy tales, gathering upright and handsome knights under her and then overthrowing them in one fell swoop. It was not until she grew up that she realized that everything was not that easy. .

From the south side of Yun to the big market blocked by the city wall, and then from the long bridge to the noble district in the south, everyone knew that Lord Rashu had ruled this place and he had arranged everything in order.Originally, the merchants would quarrel with the nobles on the docks and bargain for their own interests. The gray clouds of the empire shrouded the calm lake. However, nobles or merchants were often assassinated in the alleys and underground.

They should have been torn apart, and they could never be pacified by taking a few knights out for a spin. Since the death of the father, the royal family's privileges have gradually declined. Merchants have begun to seek autonomy, and the priests of Nephrait have repeatedly applied. Under the protection of the empire, during the peaceful years, the people began to realize themselves. They went crazy and destroyed traditions. Every day, representatives came to challenge the bottom line of the royal family.

These things fell on the girl's young shoulders in an instant, and she only realized one thing... there must be an army.

Use absolute force to silence them!Their desires are endless, and showing weakness will only make them lose more. Emperor Aaron may not even be able to become a puppet by then.The people are not so easy to please. They are born with discrimination against the ruling class. Because they are well-fed and well-clothed, they must live an easier life than themselves. They extract money from us. Who is doing all this?Oh... isn't the leader of the nobles the emperor?

Aaron suffered unfair evaluation, but she was about to have her identity as a girl taken away from her.

She once swore to protect her... but now she just wants to complain about her father. If only he would have sent her to the people when he gave birth to Aaron, instead of letting this girl pretend to be a man and become the emperor. alright.

"I am a failed sister." Andrea's voice spread, and the knight knew that she was asking for his opinion.

The girl was afraid of being alone. She had already gone crazy once and changed herself into the madwoman Heltie in the arena, using fighting and bloodlust to release her stress.Her black hair became curly during Helty's time, and butterfly-like patterns appeared on her back due to the surge of Mana, which was unusual.From what Luo Lan knows, few people even among the leaders of the army have such a manifestation of Mana. Your Highness, she is a good warrior, but it is a pity that she is not a warrior, and she still carries the fate of the royal family on her shoulders.

"Your Majesty is also gradually maturing, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Huhu..." The princess smiled lightly, "Yes, one of the characteristics of growing up is rebellion. She is at this age now."

Just like when he rebelled against Lasu, Lasu maintains an iron-blooded hand in the government and the public, making everyone obey his orders. He handles the nobles and businessmen who seek greater interests well. If the imperial power declines, it will be replaced by It would be nice if one could control them, so he strengthened his management efforts as if he were as tyrannical as a ruler.

"Both merchants and nobles are ambitious, but the only difference between them is whether they own their own land." The princess read out this sentence, "Loran, your father often told me this. He thinks that nobles and The difference between merchants is that merchants always seek political power, while nobles hope that they have military strength, and the king hopes that they have neither, as long as they do business well and pay taxes."

"...Father, he actually said such a thing." Loren's youth gave him a greater sense of honor than others. He believed in honor and regarded it as his only criterion. Andrea also understood this, Because Luo Lan had no worries about food and clothing since he was young, everyone would only look up to him. Girls from the aristocracy could not wait to throw themselves into his arms immediately and rush to his bed at night.

If he had also fought in the arena and seen people who would do anything to survive, would he still be so noble?

"Your father, Lord Rashu, was a very great man. I have never seen a nobleman who is as trustworthy as him."

Andrea took a deep breath and was now willing to reveal her true feelings. As a princess, she had a preconceived impression that he was a villain because he stood where the emperor should have stood, but now if he didn't Without Sir Rashu, the empire will not be able to survive for a day.

She glanced at the silent knight and continued, "Businessmen are united for temporary interests, and it is easy to disperse them. Many of them can betray the entire organization for their own interests. When internal differences begin to appear, All it takes is a little push to break up the rabble."

"A nation cannot be made up of businessmen alone..."

"Of course, nobles are politicians. Politicians cannot become businessmen, and businessmen cannot become good politicians. Their way of thinking based on pure interests has already betrayed themselves, and may even cause war."

She breathed a long sigh of relief. She seemed to be able to see the sun through the clouds, and suddenly became enlightened...

"This is the first time you are telling me this," answered the knight.

"Because you are the son of Lord Rashu, I think it is not appropriate to talk about your father. But I am not sure what will happen tomorrow. My brother, His Majesty the Emperor, is too young. She is now like me in the past. But He is the emperor, he can raise a group of ministers, and those ministers may become as rich as Lord Lasu, but they are not Lasu."

"Tomorrow will pass soon, you don't have to worry too much."

"I hope so. Step back. I'm going to visit another 'executor'."

After speaking, the knight turned around, bowed, closed the door and left.

Chapter 247 242. Twin Moon Princess——10

Immaculate ceiling, bed, carpet, and all surrounding decor.

The layout of the rooms in the castle is roughly the same, especially the guest rooms are arranged exactly the same. He may not be able to tell the difference if he changes to another room.

Ma Kai is probably still flirting with the maids at this time. He is very busy these days. Where is Noelle?The kid would probably just sit in the room, maybe look at the books on the bookshelf, and then close it uneasily.He could only shake his head towards these two extreme people, feeling deeply that he could only do this task by himself... Noel might be soft-hearted in this matter, and Ma Kai's character was too arrogant, which might become their fatal blow. hurt.

Only by holding the Sword of the Illusion God can I maintain absolute calm.

Alves looked up at the ceiling. There were some lines there. After looking carefully, he found that they were paintings of double moons created by artists.

It's just that there are a few runes and some images of gods besides the half-moon shape.

Alves couldn't help but think back to the story he had relived from Ma Kai a few days ago.

The situation now was so similar to that time, he heard the truth from Andrea.

Emperor Aaron is a daughter. She will attend the childbirth banquet. He will kill her at this time tomorrow... After that, the princess will open the back door of the castle for several people to escape. If everything goes well, he can also take Chris with him. , he only agreed after hearing that Chrissy would appear at the banquet. If he couldn't see Chrissy, he would have to seek justice even if he turned the banquet upside down with this sword.

Alves didn’t want to think too much about why a girl who was an older sister would kill her younger sister...

There must be some reason why you have to do it, but it has nothing to do with you.

Probably because she is the princess of Shuangyue, she must be able to fight...
