Chris's Faith of Fire

"Come in." Miss Lola finally let us go after knowing that we were not Lilim's subordinates.

When I opened the innermost door of the room, a young man stood up, holding an oil lamp... I recognized this as a man who had talked to Rebekah in her memory, a young blacksmith named Colin.

"What's going on, Miss Lola?" he asked, and it could be seen from the shaking of the oil lamp that he was shaking a little.

"Two companions who resisted Lilim." Lola answered him.

"How do you know they are companions!"

"I don't know, I can only rely on feeling..."

"Master will not agree!"

"I think you are the only one who disagrees, coward!" Miss Lola was obviously holding a sharp ax just now, but Rebekah seemed to make her believe what we said. Only then did I realize the benefits of Rebekah being here.

The little blacksmith gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something to refute, but in the end nothing was said.

"Come here, Master, his physical condition is getting worse day by day. If you have evil intentions...even if you are a woman, I will chop off your heads with one knife."

"Let me tell you first, I am a man..."

"What! Are you gay?"

The moment he heard my male voice emerge, he showed more explicit disgust than Miss Lola.

I don't know how to respond to him.

……

There were no windows in the basement, so the little blacksmith placed the oil lamp on a cabinet nearby and took care of the old man lying on the bed again.His face was very pale, and he looked like he had lost his vitality, like a dying person.

"He is Gavin Eric, the master of the blacksmith shop. Although the shop is small, the things he makes are of very high quality... Duke Asha often orders swords and decorations from here."

Rebekah introduced me to the old man in front of me, and also explained Colin and Lola...

Colin is Master Eric's apprentice, while Lola is the manager of the mercenary station in the city. She was also the one who introduced Chris to Duke Asha's castle. Recalling Rebecca's memory of that time, Colin From Liz's point of view, this woman must have some connection with the thieves organization.

There is no time to care about this now. These three people came together because they wanted to resist Lilim's rule.

Lola just raised her ax thinking that Lilim's men had invaded this place. Although I think there is a big problem with this approach. The residents are just being controlled. If they are killed, it will even wait until the Succubus Queen is defeated. They won't be resurrected either, which is also very tricky.

"Are you the only ones in the city who are not under control?"

I asked Colin. He first changed the towel on the master's head, re-wetted it, then carefully wrung it out, and put it on the old man's forehead again. After all this was done, the little blacksmith slowly turned around and answered my question.

"I don't know, maybe more than that...but so what."

(He would be more polite if you didn't say you are a male...that kid is a mute pervert.)

Rebekah whispered softly in my ear, thanking her for the reminder, but pretending to be a woman already made me physically disgusted, and pretending to be coquettish to please men was really impossible.

"Maybe we need companions to overthrow the Succubus Queen?"

"Overthrow?" He sneered with his nose, "We are all in trouble now. Look at the master's appearance. He has become like this because he has no magic power and has been insisting on resisting! Using high-priced magic power Guiding stone to counteract the devil's magic... Gu..."

The young blacksmith choked up while speaking. The high-priced magic stone was made by enchanting gems, and the cost price was not something that ordinary people could sustainably consume.

"I can help you."

"Help me? How can I help? Is it to take out the magic stone?"

His tone was still very aggressive. I don’t know if it was because of this attitude that he was annoyed, but I had no intention of making enemies... There was only one key thing, and that was to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings and leave a resting place for the 1-strong army. Otherwise, we Unable to deal with Alexia.

So I took out a large number of gems from my empty pocket just like when I was talking to Ollie that day... The gems were piled on the floor, like a hill... Lola, Rebekah and Colin all stared.

Although it is only a low-level gem, it should still be a priceless item in the eyes of mortals.

"Wha, what... why did you suddenly take out so much? Where did you take it out from?" the blacksmith said in shock.

It would be too troublesome to explain this now. You can't just hide it under your skirt all the time. Saying such words in a male voice would make people feel a little disgusted.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Can you enchant me?"

"Yes... yes." He finally stopped trying to be brave and took the gem honestly. "It can't be done with high precision, but it's no problem if it's just for emergency use. Such a large quantity can make up for the lack of quality."

"That's great, take good care of your master, and we'll talk when it's calmer... Rebecca, let's go out and talk."

"Okay, okay, Master Lian."

Chapter 271 266. Counterattack——7

Rebekah walked out of the blacksmith shop when the sky gradually darkened. It seemed that she had talked a lot with the three people. I asked her to explain the identity of Lian Arkad.The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and they have no choice but to accept me.

The night dyed the sky, and thanks to the twilight, the annoying miasma could not be seen clearly now... I climbed up the wooden ladder outside and sat on the gray roof. Rebekah also climbed up. Although she was petite, she was It doesn’t feel very strenuous.

"Haha, Master Lian, I'm really exhausted...explain to those three people." She panted and sat next to me.

"Thank you for your hard work. After all, it is troublesome to let strangers accept you."

"People don't trust strangers, but as the saying goes, they are familiar with each other once and twice. They feel very at ease with the fact that Lord Ren is a true citizen of Nefera."

"Then what was their reaction when they heard that I was a half-demon... It's impossible not to say anything about it..."

Staring into Rebekah's clear eyes, I can imagine the hesitant expression on her face when she mentioned this.

"It's not good to let them know about it now... But when Master Ren defeats the Succubus Queen, no one will care about it. Even the people in this city will treat you as a hero."

"That's right." I replied. Rebekah told the truth, but I didn't dislike her frankness.

"Our friendships and collaborations are based on certain conditions, which people often struggle with, and not having them just makes everything more confusing."

Thinking of the background story of the god Sky, the humans in the world include humans, beasts, elves, dwarfs, a small part of the beasts, elves, and most of the dwarfs integrated into the human society.There is a huge gap between humans and elves, so they live in forests and grasslands respectively. Because of this, we have different characteristics.But because we have the common enemy of the demons, we can still stand on the same front...

During the year-long journey, I often thought about what would happen if the Demon King was really defeated by us?Who will bring order to this chaotic world?The purpose of the king's existence is to prevent the world from falling into chaos. When there is no king, one must be elected, or several kings will fight each other and only one will be left.

And I don't want to join this fight... My fight will only end until the devil falls.The responsibility of staying at that time is none of my business.

"Lord Lian... It is precisely because of fighting, discrimination, and chaos in this world that we can have a different life. I am very grateful to the goddess. Although I lived a very unhappy life in the first half of my life and worked as a prostitute... But people often It is said that fate is all about suffering and happiness, and it is because of these things that I was able to meet Master Asha, and I feel very happy to be favored by him."

"Rebecca..."

There is no falsehood in her expression, because she has lived half a lifetime as an ordinary human being to understand this. She is the elder in life. On the contrary, I don't know what I want to do.

"Colin and Lola said that the Succubus Queen is still recuperating. She was seriously injured before... Lola only discovered all this when she went to the castle and managed to escape."

"That's what I did, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fight her. Now is the only chance. It would be difficult if they wait for Alexia to come and join forces."

"Is the Dragon Queen that strong?" She raised her head and faced me, revealing the innocence of a girl for a moment, letting me know that she didn't understand Alexia's terror.

"Among the four kings, she should be the strongest if measured by her fighting ability. Alexia is not a demon but a dragon. Her strength is like the moon in the sky, dimming the stars around her. She escaped from the Demon King's Castle before. I was killed by her once, if I hadn't become immortal..."

"So now you are confident that you can defeat Lilim?"

"No...I don't know anything. I'm also looking for opportunities."

Since Colin and Miss Lola are fine, there may be other resistance forces in the city, but as mortals, they are too small. The weakened Succubus Queen should also be strengthening her defense. She is not an idiot. To this extent Things can be predicted naturally.

"I'm more concerned about Her Royal Highness Crystal's affairs."

"Chrissy?" Rebekah repeated the name.

"That's right, as a fire elf, she is also bringing a hero with her. We need her."

"Before Miss Chris left, I once asked her if she wanted to pursue her lover, because we had talked about love not long ago."

The person I like is probably Master Sajavir. After all, he is beside Chris now, and he is a brave man.The two of them becoming partners is definitely the strongest combination that exists on the continent.

"Yes... Chris seems to be engaged to the young master of the Shahavier family."

"However, Chris shook his head... When I asked, she said that I guessed wrong. I have always been able to see through this girl's lies to hide her shame, but that day was different. Her ruby ​​eyes were full of determination. .”

"..."

Determined?Has she also found the purpose of her fight?After hearing these words, I felt a sense of loss slowly rising in my chest for some reason, and I didn't know how to respond.

When I saw the child for the first time, she was like a princess in the game setting, willful, cute... and controlled by fate.Now he has finally become a completely different person, becoming a person destined to have an extraordinary destiny.

"I'm going to sneak into Asha's castle tomorrow." I made up my mind.

"The risk is too great." Rebekah replied, "Lilim has seen your face, and now as you said before, she must have stepped up her guard."

"But only I can do that. I can't wait for her to fully recover."

"In that case, it's best to talk to Miss Lola...she is more familiar with the methods of entering the castle than I am."

"Very good, do I still want to wear this?"

"I think you're very beautiful~ And if you wear men's clothes, you'll be recognized by the Succubus Queen immediately."

"That's true...she knows that I will find an opportunity to come. She is the second most cunning demon in the world."

The first is Beyer. Is he staying with the Demon King now or does he have other plans.As long as the Demon King does not fail, he will stay by his side. He once stayed with the true people of Nefera with the same lie.

"By the way, Lady Lian...what did you say in the letter you left for Firmina before?"

"I said, let them withdraw their troops..."

"Hey, withdraw the troops?"

"That's right. As for the explanation, we'll talk about it later. There is one more thing I want to tell you now."

I held Rebekah's head and whispered in her ear, while looking at the figure peeping in the distance with one eye.

Chapter 272 267. Price - 1

"Fleeing before the battle... You should have been sentenced to death, but considering the achievements of the Frederick family, our enemies are right in front of us. I hope you can make meritorious deeds."

Richat Starlight Frederick knelt on the ground and begged the queen for forgiveness. The original pride of being a young head of a well-known family had now disappeared with his shameful behavior.

"If I chop off his head, Her Majesty..." Victor was still standing in the hall with his long sword. His thick arms made his weapon look sharper and more terrifying. Ladia always thought that he You should get a big ax instead of an "elegant" weapon like a sword.

"It is inevitable for a young family head like him to be timid on the battlefield." Ingrid's words made Victor sneer, and he turned back to look at his two sons.

"Look, our noble men from the Kingdom of Fire... can teach a beautiful young lady like Ingrid a lesson."

"I'm so ashamed of you, my lord..." He turned his head and scolded Richat with disdain, and then left with his two children.

Lydia sighed, "Victor is really outspoken."

"He was like this in the past. I remember it was your Highness, Chris, who sent him a letter? Lord Victor didn't give her a good look at that time."

"Haha, it's such an honor to have him on my side now."

Ladia looked at Richat, who was still kneeling on the ground. On the contrary, why was he so cowardly... A coward who usually pretends to be strong has nothing to boast about.It's really heartbreaking to see that he is a nobleman with a gem as his middle name.

"Master Richat...you can retreat. I hope you can remember what I just said."

The young nobleman gritted his molars, nodded helplessly, and retreated without saying anything.

It must be a great shame for him who has been accustomed to looking down at people since he was a child.

After Richat closed the door and walked away, Ingrid sighed.

"The Frederick family, they were not like this before. On the contrary, Lord Ulysses's bravery was unexpected."

Lord Ulysses of the Fourcade family once followed the Lylebar family to oppose the royal family. Unexpectedly, it was only after seeing him in real life that he discovered that he was a personable gentleman with the bravery and bloodiness that only a warrior can have. .

"With time, many things will change." Latiya sighed. "I once thought that many things would continue like that. At that time, I didn't know the heavy weight of the crown."

"You've done a great job, Latiya..."

"But this time we might actually die."

The young queen looked at her and saw that the last time the scouts came to report that the soldiers on the Black Knight's front line were only 120 fra away from them, this distance was already very close.

"What heroes always desire is to die gloriously..."

"We won't be heroes if the demons occupy the land. Ladia, now you seem to have misunderstood the point. Your dragon and elf friends seem to have made you lose your understanding of war. You must know why these guys before They didn’t stand on the front lines during several wars...because they knew they couldn’t win.”

Ingrid has never believed in these legendary "monsters" and "gods". Powerful people often lack awe for power beyond common sense. These are not part of their understanding of war.

"There is no room for us to pick on our allies now. If it weren't for their battle with the orcs a few days ago, this Yanbeard City would have been reduced to scorched earth. Ingrid...you said I missed the point? I'm using myself now. Use all the power you can to save your country! We can’t find any other way, do you understand? The 5000 soldiers sent by the Holy See are indeed excellent, but they are like straw in front of the Demon King’s army!”

Ladia will never forget the scene when they faced the Black Knight in Leerbar City. Although they finally won the victory, they paid a heavy price. Thousands of heavily armored knights were killed in just two holy moments. They were all slaughtered. If the Black Knight hadn't been afraid of the power of light and ran away, all of them would have died there.

If the northernmost coast cannot be defended, the only thing left for this continent will be the destruction of the human race.

"Do you think I have thought about this?" Ladia was still aggressive. She knew her fear when she faced the dragon on the mountain of [-] Lars. Now the queen does not dare to face Rex Huo at that time again. Ye, roared with all her strength in front of the giant dragon, seeing his huge mouth and dagger-like fangs, and the terrifying upper and lower jaws could take away her dreams with just a slight bite.

"Your Majesty..." The anger shown by Ladia was unexpected for Ingrid, but it was reasonable.She must show her temperament as a queen at a young age. She is only 19 years old this year.

Just now she used the word "young" to make excuses for Richat in front of Master Siglo, but in front of this young queen, what can things like age mean? She inherited Yan's will and said that this continent Even the bravest girl can't be overstated.

Ingrid smiled, "I'm very sorry, Your Majesty... I definitely didn't mean not to believe you. It's better to say that I am willing to fight and die with you on the battlefield."
