Chris's Faith of Fire

I chose to turn around, fearing that I would want to look at it and break the agreement with him.

I listened to the boy's footsteps gradually walking away, and suddenly I didn't understand his intention. I only heard the rustling sound and the crisp rustling sound.

I silently counted to 30 in my mind before I heard Noelle's voice.

"Chris...Okay, you can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes at the sound of his voice.

What appeared in my sight were colorful colors, well...it was still a little blurry when I opened it just now. After sweeping my eyelids twice, I finally saw clearly the boy's happy smile and the bouquet in his hand.

"Noelle..." I didn't know what to say.

The flowers were still stained with dew, and I saw tulips. Was it Randall who gave them to him?

And then because it suddenly rained and you showed up here?

The young man held the bouquet in his hands as if it were his own treasure.

"It's for you, Chris...it suits you very well."

"I……"

"When I first saw you, you were wearing a red dress with gold trim and a silver crown... At that time, I was thinking that I could give you a bouquet of flowers, because it was the first time I saw you. A girl who looks like she stepped out of a fairy tale and is as cute as a flower."

First meeting?At that time, I just regarded you as a annoying guy. Although I was so cruel to you, did you only remember my appearance at that time?

Along with the sound of rain, a breeze blew by... I saw that my silver hair hanging down to my shoulders was much shorter than before.

"Thank you..." His lips trembled, and even his fingers trembled.

I don't have much else to say other than thank you.

Now I just want to turn around and leave quickly, not letting him see the tears flowing from my eyes.

But the wind was still blowing, and got a little stronger as I took the bouquet.

I watched as the bouquet rolled from his hands and fell to the ground.

At that moment, it was like time stopped. The two of us stood without saying anything.

My eyes are also wet, so I can't see his expression clearly, but even if I could see it clearly, I wouldn't look up.

Noelle hurriedly bent down and picked it up after a moment.

He touched the back of his head, and his reaction was as if he didn't know what to do, "Hug, I'm sorry, Chris. I'll pick it for you when the rain stops. The petals have meaning when you touch them... "

Even if I try hard to smile, I still...

"Thank you, Noelle...I, I'm so happy." I said, taking the bouquet from his hand.

Only then did I realize how sensitive I had become. Had I always done this to Noelle?

Just put on a fake smile to make him feel at ease.

Even if I fill it with lies, the petals are no longer complete.

There are raindrops on the flowers.

The air is full of water vapor.

Chapter 316 311. Useless place——1

Today's harvest was pretty good. Ma Kai sat with his legs crossed on his homemade beach chair. He cut down two trees and even had a fight with the goblin guards about it, but this was worse than looking at those hundreds of years old trees. Being in a daze is much better. Even the monks of Neferait are more interesting than these guys. At least there is a beautiful cardinal, right?Although the woman is also half-elf.

The spare canvas on the boat was tightly tied to the chair. Ma Kai used this thing as a backrest. He was naked on the upper body and only wore a pair of trousers rolled up to his knees. When he saw any movement in the fishing rod in his hand, he immediately retracted the rod.

"Maybe I'm better suited to be a fisherman."

He felt tired from sitting all the time, so he called Alves and Xaka beside him.

Alves has always been good at being patient. After all, he was born into a noble family. Haka was holding back his anger. If he didn't read the following, he would immediately find those goblins and fight to the death.So I am such a necessary existence. That princess must thank me. Unfortunately, she is still a child and her charm as a woman cannot be expected at all.

Finish the work here and return to Neferait. He has never been a bishop before, and he can't wait to try it.

But now I can't do anything but sit here and wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Alves~Alves~" Ma Kai called his name rhythmically. Alves shook the sweat on his brown hair. On this sunny day, he felt that nothing made him more excited than the call of this gangster. Distraught.

"Stop screaming...I'm dying of thirst." The voice sounded really dry.

"No one asked you not to drink water." Ma Kai answered him.

"I have to be here to make sure you don't do something outrageous."

"Hahaha, just look at that beast brother. I cherish my own life more than anyone else. After all, I still have endless money to spend, endless women to embrace, and a bunch of bastards to kill."

What he said was the same as what he sang, Alvis thought to himself, we have been here for two weeks. The goblins received a group of people and said that they would also help them awaken the brave.Chrissy was elated at the time. It was the first time Alves saw her cute expression, and even his heart was throbbing. Yes... they would be able to return immediately, and with bravery and hope, he could also return. In my hometown of Garnet, even if the Demon King controls that land, it doesn't matter at all, because the brave man is here, the fire elves are here, and there are even people who can hold the Sword of the Phantom God. At that time, everything felt full of hope.But it turns out that these goblins don't do things so neatly.

"A ritual is needed." The elder of the forest elf who took the lead said slowly, "Both the brave and the elves need to learn the ritual process."

Ma Kai frowned immediately when he realized what he was talking about. Of course, Haka would not allow them to isolate Chris alone. The master's safety was higher than his life, so he almost put the machete on He grabbed the opponent's neck, but the goblin who was good at magic immediately used a move of magic to push the unruly orc guard to the ground, and the others also raised their hands at the same time.

"It's really spectacular." Ma Kai said that at the time. He had never been to a magic university, but only universities had so many wizards.Only one in a hundred humans who can be a magician.But here everyone can use magic to kill people.

Ma Kai knew that he could not act rashly, but these goblins would not kill easily. They had long been accustomed to living in the forest and became aloof from the world. There was always a distance between people, and they had their own abilities. What Ma Kai is good at is sticking to other people's bottom lines and never going beyond the limits of tolerance, waiting for the other party to relax their vigilance before making a counterattack.

So they had no choice but to stay obediently in the "White Night Clan Village" of this group of forest goblins. The goblins would look at them like they were looking at exotic animals, and a few of them would have some disgust. Their three meals a day consisted of some fruits and a small amount of wine.They are not vegetarians. Occasionally they will eat the meat of some birds and beasts, and even the meat of some insects... The impression of elegant goblins is really unimaginable.However, one of their tenets is not to ask too much from nature, so there are very few days when they can eat meat.

"Take these and bake them, guard..." Ma Kai put the sword on his shoulder and threw the barrel filled with fish to the orc warriors.

"I don't need to listen to your orders, human race..." Haka has this attitude towards everyone, except his cute little master.

Do you want to eat that little princess?Ma Kai didn't know how many times he had recited these words silently in his mind, but he wouldn't say them out loud. Idiots can't joke.

"No one ordered you, do you know what people who live together on a deserted island are called?" The mercenary felt tired talking. Even a person like him would have a headache when dealing with an upright man like Haka. "We are partners, we are cooperating." Ma Kai waved his hand, "Please, take it to bake, Haka~ I'm going to find some firewood. I almost vomited after eating the goblin fruits. I want to eat them if I can. Grapes on a woman’s breast rather than on the table.”

After saying that, he stretched his body and shook the sand on his legs.

Yes, you almost had sex with a woman, but in the end, they didn’t even feed us that day, and even let us sleep in the stables where their horses stayed. Alves was too lazy to talk to him. This guy is absolutely not. He would be ashamed or ashamed of his behavior, he just wants to get money, women and enemies that he can kill, and quickly.This place was like hell to Mackay.

Alves looked in the direction he was walking, towards the woods, but he didn't go far. It seemed that he was looking for firewood.

It’s okay not to worry so much.

The boy who was about to become a young man breathed a sigh of relief. He helped Haka on the side insert the fish into the wooden sticks one by one, but Haka shook his head. He grabbed a fish, cut open its belly with a knife, and cut it open. All the internal organs and swim bladder were taken out and washed in sea water before being inserted into the stick.

After doing this he threw a knife to Alves.

"You guys are really careless, humans." Common Language was still a bit stammering.

But Alves never said that he couldn't speak Common Tongue well. Only Chris and Noelle had that qualification.

"We never catch our own fish when we go to the beach, but I bleed rabbits."

In fact, after the mercenary group became famous, they never ate the freshly caught food.

After all, these foods are often unseasoned and unpalatable.

Chapter 317 312. Useless place——2

"Eating fish can make you strong." Haka went about the work at hand.

"Can't rabbits?" Alves asked him.

The orc warrior thought about his words while skewering other fish on wooden sticks.He still couldn't speak Common Language well, but he was already the best one among the Queen's Guards. The others were chattering all day long in languages ​​that the people in the mercenary group couldn't understand.

"That thing makes people gain weight easily. We, the warriors of the Beast King, never gain a trace of fat."

"This sounds really enviable, but so are most mercenaries. No matter how much we eat, just practicing sword skills can make our bodies strong and powerful."

Haka smiled softly. He immediately crossed the wooden pole in his hand, with the pointed end facing Alves. He stopped at the moment when he was about to touch it. The young man only felt his eyes sore, but he didn't even step back and blink. can succeed.

"But it's not fast enough, kid." With perfect murderous aura, Haka has absolute confidence in his control. If he had a smarter mind, he would definitely be a first-rate warrior.

Alvis felt uncomfortable, being looked down upon by others...especially being looked down upon by an orc made him feel unwilling. Alvis understood that Haka was much stronger than him, and if he didn't rely on the Sword of the Phantom God, he would still be the same person. A second-rate mercenary, although Ma Kai is frivolous, he is capable.This kind of strength relies not only on talent, but also on the will and experience honed in the battlefield for a long time. His life has just begun, and there are still many things waiting for him to do, although there are already many similar teenagers. Died on the way.There are too many trials along the way, learning how to use a sword, killing people, and being careful about making enemies.

Naturally, being a mercenary involves killing people, and Alves has long since learned not to be soft-hearted. The moment when a skilled person kills someone, there is no feeling at all. Only before going to bed, his mind will recall the face of the dying person.If he had killed as many people as Ma Kai, this feeling would not even appear. Alves hated this feeling. He left home because he longed for the freedom and ease of mercenaries. Unexpectedly, he was still being raped now. Imprisoned in shackles, and the one who is locked is himself.

Looking at the face of the orc warrior, this guy seemed to have never thought much about it. All he could think about was loyalty to his master, and even his life for Chrissy.

Alves can't learn this. He will kill people to save his own life, and he will also take risks to achieve his goals. Although he is better than Ma Kai in any case, he will still do what Ma Kai should do.Kill people, take money, drink and sleep with women after returning to the city, and do this all your life.

Because he is a human being, a human being who is not too stupid.The characteristic of human beings is their lack of faith, and the more unstable they live, the more so. They are very smart and cunning... just like wolves.Yes, they are more like beasts than orcs. At least we will not kneel down on our knees just because the elves are coming.

After Haka finished skewering all the fish, Ma Kai came back, holding some dead branches.

"Thank God you didn't chop down the tree, otherwise the goblins would be looking for trouble again."

The mercenary shrugged, "I want to chop it, but it's hard to make a fire with dry wood. I hate trouble the most."

Yes, but you often get into trouble because of your desires.

I choose to be patient. This is the biggest difference between us.

Using the flint on the ship to light a fire, Ma Kai brought a small bottle over. Alves just glanced at it and saw that it was pepper, black and white. The long life at sea had made the small bottle a little damp, but even with this A small bottle of pepper can still be exchanged for several days of rations. "This thing is sold as expensive as gold."

"However, gold itself is just a piece of scrap metal." The words of the orc warrior made the mercenary amused.What he said is absolutely correct. Ma Kai has seen many people who cherish money as much as their lives, but in the end they all have money but no life to spend.Life is short, you need to enjoy yourself in time.In response to these words, Ma Kai sprinkled some pepper on his fish, but who knew that the inside of the fish was already stuck together.

"What the hell." He breathed tiredly after using a wooden stick to crush the pepper. "Okay, I'm going to go crazy if I stay here any longer. A girl with so many goblins... A place where no one is allowed to go to school is no different from hell."

"Come on, they look like girls, but they could actually be your grandmother."

"If your grandma is young and beautiful, what's the harm in having sex with her?"

"I think both your grandfather and father would want to kill you."

"Oh, you are like my confidant, Alves. If my father hadn't been looking forward to my death every day, I might not be so capable today."

"Is your father good at fighting?"

Ma Kai couldn't help laughing, "For a naughty child, a parent holding a wooden stick is more terrifying than a bandit. My father has always been semi-crippled, so he talks a lot, so much that his ears are calloused."

"So you do the same?" Alves also laughed, knowing that this man did not need any sympathy.

"No, he is a boring guy, and I am a strong and humorous guy. The girls on the dock will become extra enthusiastic because of my jokes."

"I think that's probably because you gave me enough money."

"Even prostitutes who are paid can treat people differently, because even they are human beings, and they will do things according to their own preferences."

Maybe he was right. The first time he met a prostitute, Alves was so panicked that he wanted to end it quickly. His stupid look still made him blush when he recalled it.

Haka was eating grilled half-cooked fish on the side. Fish in the sea will not get sick even if they are eaten raw. Parasites cannot survive in the sea, so pirates are proud to be able to sail in the sea.This orc warrior didn't listen to them at all. Perhaps he felt that talking to this guy Ma Kai was a waste of time.

If they could relate to each other in this regard, Alves would probably smile knowingly.I don’t know if Ma Kai has any brains in what he said, but when you think this guy is just a slovenly bearded uncle, you will fall into his trap again.At first, Alves thought that all mercenaries looked like this, but unfortunately, there was only one Ma Kai in the world.No matter what other people should be, they are just ordinary human beings like me.

They didn't say anything more. The orcs didn't seem to care about the smell of fish, but Alves couldn't. He sprinkled twice the amount of pepper on his grilled fish, and waited until a pungent aroma hit his taste buds before he ate it. When I got up, I didn't expect this thing to be surprisingly delicious.Maybe it's just because I haven't had a proper meal in a long time.

Chapter 318 313. Useless place——3

After eating, Ma Kai continued to lie on the chair. He recently liked to take a nap in the sun. This guy has nothing to do... because he is a mercenary and he is a knight. Although he was only canonized by the exiled princess, there is no doubt that Cle Sette is the princess of the motherland, and it is an honor enough to be appreciated by her.

"What are you going to do this afternoon? Alves," Xaka said.

Alves washed the pepper powder from his mouth with sea water and looked at the orc warrior. "Go to the Baiye Clan's village."

"They will treat you like a stray dog." Haka sneered. He hated those goblins more than anyone else. If it weren't for Crystal's order, he would have cut off several long-eared heads decades ago. When the beast king Gudayel came here with his army, they were scared to death. After all, they were just a bunch of cowards.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you hold your head high."

Alves waved his hand and left the beach.

The road to the village was not easy to walk, with stones scattered around. If he didn't wear shoes, he would probably wear out the soles of his feet. He was very worried about his master. She often went barefoot recently, like a wild girl in the countryside.Who would have thought that such a girl would be Garnet's Crystal Princess?Alves still remembers the first time he and his sister Sophie saw Princess Crystal. At that time, she was sitting in a golden and pure white carriage that seemed to be found in fairy tales, showing her cute face to us. 's smile.

Alves smiled and kicked away the stones at his feet. The goblins' so-called protection of nature is to build their rooms on trees as much as possible. They think they can feel the so-called grace of nature, but they can't live without Mana. And magic technology, the magic lamps that can be seen everywhere are enough to prove this, and when he got to the main road, he found that the road was no longer muddy and difficult to walk. It was as smooth and dry as if it had been dried by wind magic, and even no footprints were left. several.

Maybe these blond guys don't welcome us because they leave footprints?

Forget it, who knows what those decent people who are more troublesome than the nobles are thinking about. At least Alves has never regarded himself as a decent person. He is neither lawless like a mercenary nor like a noble. Nitpicking.Therefore, he feels uncomfortable among mercenaries and nobles, and has no mysophobia... He hopes to live in a town that is neither big nor small, and there are not so many mercenaries. Compared with ordinary people, he is a bit of a rogue, and there are Drinking and chatting with girls when working or not working, that's all.

Of course, this is the life that all mercenaries look forward to...a life as chic as a ranger.

In fact, everyone is similar to Ma Kai and can't beat him.

He passed through the last forest behind the beach and saw an open area. The first thing he heard was a burst of singing and the sound of a piano.

Different from the ones in the brothel, the songs of goblins are never cheerful. For Alves, who doesn’t understand music, the only adjective is elegant. He doesn’t care about it anymore. He comes here only a handful of times, and besides, he is I came alone so I was a little uneasy.

What catches the eye are the dark brown trunks of the trees and the vines that are about to hang down to the ground. The sunlight shines through the leaves on the ground, and the singing of the birds is mixed with the singing of the fairies.

He looked around. The trees that served as his home were several times larger than those he had seen when walking from the beach. There were layers of spiral staircases built around the tree trunks, leading to the goblins' residences.These giant trees are affected by Mana and grow bigger than any other tree, enough to support several families on them, but usually they only choose the one that belongs to them.Alves felt dizzy when he raised his head.
