Chris's Faith of Fire

Chris seems to live in a tree higher than here, in the middle area between the White Night Clan and the Black Night Clan, in the Holy Land of Eden. He is really worried about that princess. He wants to go see her now. After all, it is the first time. Chrissy was still drunk when she saw him. Alves admitted that she was cute like that, but it would only make Alves feel flustered when the person taking care of her was not him.

Even if he thinks so, what else can he do now?

The guards here wore exquisitely carved armor, and they held spears in their hands, as if they would point at themselves at any time. Just standing here seemed to be a reason for hostility, just because he was a human.

Alves walked around them wisely. The giant tree in this open area was about dozens of lar high. The person living here was the leader of the White Night Clan, Goosi.That guy was the silver-haired man who greeted Chris and us. Although he had a 30-year-old face, it was said that he had lived for thousands of years.Ma Kai whispered in his ear, "Be careful when dealing with old immortals. They spend at least one-third of their lives plotting against others. The older they get, the more troublesome it becomes."

He believes in this sentence. Ma Kai's advice has always been useful and can save people's lives at critical moments. I hope he won't live that long.Alvis's boots made a rustling sound on the soil. The female fairies frowned and stopped their intermittent singing. In their eyes, this human male was rough and sloppy, but it also made them curious. If not If Ma Kai had left a bad impression in advance, they might still come forward to talk to him, of course, with Geoxi's permission.

This place is really disgusting... Because most of the goblins also speak Common Language, he didn't dare to say it.Quietly walking around this place to the south of the village, there is a small stable next to a giant tree. Although it is a stable, there may not be a horse in it. All Alves smells when he walks inside is freshness. The air and the clean stag.The girl who was doing all this was standing in front of the fence feeding the stag water.

"Why do you ride a deer?"

The girl's long ears trembled slightly. She did not turn around and continued to do the work at hand. "Ride is such a disrespectful word. We are partners with the stags. They know the ropes of running in the woods better than horses."

True, but even forest-dwelling rangers don't know how to ride deer.

"Mr. Alves, please don't interrupt my work. I'm very busy now..."

Hearing the girl's complaint, he said nothing and walked straight out of the stable. In the eyes of the other goblins, he looked like he was being driven away in despair.He turned back to the coast. The fairies seemed to be relieved. This silly boy...

The proud guards looked at Alvis's figure walking away with ridicule on their faces. They were sure that their women would not be interested in lowly humans, so they watched Alvis slowly walk away, behind him Keep telling jokes about humans.

"Come back?" Ma Kai opened half of his eyes and asked him sharply.

Alves scratched the back of his head, his face expressionless, as if he was deep in thought.After a while, he ran to the boat again, not even paying attention to Ma Kai who called him behind him. After a while, the young man brought a table over from the boat and brought a few cups.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Stand up too, Ma Kai. I still feel it's not appropriate."

"what?"

The mercenary had no idea what the young man was talking about, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the girl slowly walking over.At this time, Ma Kai understood what Alves meant. The kid could now speak in a roundabout way, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved.

It was a beautiful elf girl with blond three-strand braids. The three of them knew the girl's name very well.

"Hey, Miss Jimena, you came really early today."

Ma Kai changed his rude attitude, stood up from his homemade chair, and made a stupid invitation gesture awkwardly.But Jimena didn't care. Instead, she was amused by his stupid behavior. She stroked her short skirt and sat on the chair that was not clean.Alves was shocked. Maybe he really should learn humor from Ma Kai?

"Good afternoon, distinguished guests." Only she would call us guests.

There is something different between Jimena and other fairies. It should be said that it is a trait.

She is very kind. If in Eileen, not showing explicit disgust is the greatest courtesy that fairies give to humans, then the girl in front of her is like an angel.She was cute and brought them food on the first day. Even when Ma Kai was kicked out for being rude, she still helped us, even though she was very angry at that time.

However, this kind girl didn't want to worry the princess's companions. She often came to see Alvis. As the number of times increased, even the goblin clan became suspicious. They are a group of xenophobic guys.

So Alves and Jimena agreed to go to the stables to find her and leave when they heard the words "Please don't disturb my work." After that, the girl would come to the beach to talk to them.

"Ah, it doesn't seem good for me to be the only one sitting there, sorry." The girl noticed that there was only one chair here, but the others didn't care at all. Haka sat on the floor. Although the sand in the afternoon was a bit hot, it was nothing to the orcs. It's intolerable.

"Don't worry, Miss Jimena, we asked you to tell us about Her Highness Chris."

"Miss Chris has finished her course with the White Night Clan."

"End? I remember that these boring classes were held on a staggered basis. The lectures of the Black Fairy and the Forest Fairy should end at the same time." Ma Kai crossed his hands, and he found something strange in this sentence.

"That's right." Jimena lowered her head uneasily. She paused for a while before raising her head again.

"Responsible, Ms. Chris's young man from the Dark Night Clan... Atajel, has been very busy from the beginning, and the Dark Night Clan doesn't care much about this matter, so I did almost the first half of the process alone, and recently Miss Crystal was taken to their village by the leader of the Night Clan, Lady Leafalia..."

Jimena tightened her mouth and hesitated in the second half of her sentence, never forgetting to look at Haka sitting on the ground.

"What! Your Majesty Chris!"

Looking at Haka who was about to jump up because of a quick word, Ma Kai stretched out his right hand and pressed the shoulder of the orc warrior.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited~ Brother, why are you always faster than your mouth? The little princess just changed places to carry out her boring 'course', it doesn't mean there is any crisis."

"This is different from what they said!" When the warrior is excited, the common language will become extremely fluent.

"Even if it's the same, you can't interfere. How can humans understand the thoughts of goblins?"

"I, I'm not human!"

"You don't understand either~ Haha." This time it was Haka's turn to be speechless. "Why don't we continue to listen, Miss Jimena, I believe you came here to tell us more than this."

The elf girl nodded sharply. Although she was not asked about her age, this cute move could infer that she was not old enough to be her mother.

"The problem is that the relationship between the Black Night Clan and the White Night Clan is not good. What the Black Night Clan did was not discussed with us at all. Maybe they have other ideas."

"What does the Night Clan want Her Majesty Chris to do?"

"Just because she is the host of the Fire Elf, she already has full value."

The first person to realize this was not Haka, but Alvis. He was not as excited as the Orc warriors. He knew how to control his emotions, but as a knight who was granted the title of Princess Garnet, he also Very worried about the owner.

But it was Jimena who said this.

What happened to her?To actually say such words in front of Haka, Alves felt that the girl was not in a good state today, but did something really happen to Chrissy?

If Jimena-san, a member of the Fairy Tribe, feels uneasy, then she may have reason to be worried as well.

He needed to talk to Jimena alone, where the rogue mercenaries and orc warriors were not.

It was almost late at night, and he was almost walking to Eden with this goblin girl, a place where outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Alves stopped.

"Why go so far?"

"In order not to be heard," Jimena answered him.

"You are a fairy girl, will your family allow you to stay home so late?"

"I no longer have a family. If there was any reason to obey the door rules before, that doesn't exist now."

This made the topic that had calmed down before become even more concerning.

"You are not irrational today." He said to Jimena. If this girl said such ambiguous words in front of Haka, she would only encourage the overly loyal warrior to break into the territory of the Night Clan. No one wants to see this. Arrived.

Fortunately, Alves characterized these words as Jimena being too nervous, because she had been too busy and anxious recently in the White Night clan, so Haka became slightly calmer, but these words could not fool Ma Kai, he just looked at The girl's expression told him what was going on, and maybe he would choose to ask from his own mouth later.

"Mr. Alves." The girl turned around, and a trace of tears could be seen in her eyes. "I've been asking for help from others, but I can't say anything."

"Speak up and I will help you solve your problems."

Jimena nodded.

"Atajel, you are my lover."

Chapter 320 315. Useless place——5

A red cloud appeared on the girl's expression, but it disappeared quickly, and the melancholy became more conspicuous.

"You said that the relationship between the Black Night Clan and the White Night Clan is not good." Alves quickly discovered the key point of this matter.

Jimena nodded at this and invited Alves to step forward.In the forest at night, the lack of lighting turns the surrounding branches and leaves into dark green, and the lake in Eden in the distance emits fluorescence.

"Our love affair will not be blessed by anyone, or even interfered with. Atajel knows this very well, so we often come to Eden. According to legend, the relationship between the brave Noah and the goddess is also forbidden."

The girl looked forward. No one could be seen by the lake at night. Even though it was the holy land of goblins, it still maintained its original appearance. There was no temple or church built on it, or the goblins worshiped the trees. It can be said that the giant tree in the lake can replace any other temple.

"I have never heard of such a legend..."

"...This is passed down from the fairy clan, because we fairies are the descendants of angels."

This is also the first time I heard it. No human kingdom's chronicles would say such content. Goblins are always aloof and never know how to respect each other.

Any story like this is okay. Alves realized that he should no longer avoid the topic, although he had expected that the next thing would be very troublesome, because he knew that Jimena would never do it because she wanted to No girl in the world would do such a stupid thing to come to discuss the troubles in love, and it would be extremely sad if, as a man, I was treated like this.

"So what happened to that Atajel?"

The girl pursed her lips. She thought for a while before casting her eyes on Alves, "He...is missing."

"Missing? You probably don't go to the black fairies' village every day, right? Maybe you just haven't come out for a while?"

"We can't enter and exit the village of the Night Tribe at will... However, he and I made an appointment to meet in front of the Beersheba tree. But he didn't keep the promise last time, so forget it, but he didn't do it after that. If I come back again, that day was when I finished Miss Crystal’s education, and Lady Lyfaria took her away. Originally, this job should have been given to Atajel.”

Alves will no longer ignore the topic of Chris. Jimena had vaguely expressed her uneasiness when they were on the beach in the afternoon. The Night Clan has their own way of doing things. It's too much of a fuss, Alvis. Weiss thought so, but a feeling of uneasiness slowly emerged.

Just being the host of the Flame Elf is valuable enough.

"Are you saying that the fairies of the Night Clan have other agendas?"

"No, I don't know..." The girl's face became more and more gloomy, "But Atajel left a little message. He once murmured to himself, 'The true people of Nefera', the angels True people who surrender to Nefera, and we did the same thing today.”

"What does this mean?" Alves didn't understand. Jimena realized that he had received the education of goblins, so naturally she didn't understand this story. She had told Chris about it before, and she hadn't even talked about some of it with Ke. Liz said.The elders said, just let them know what they need to know.

"Can you listen to me? It may take a while. This will be a long story. Although I have already told it to Miss Chris, there are some contents that she has not heard."

"Of course." Alves nodded after thinking for a while.

◆ ◇

After listening to the whole story, Alves felt that his view of history had undergone earth-shaking changes. He had never thought that the goddess had so many stories, because human goddess statues were just imaginary things, their beliefs, and legends. , are all inherited under the leadership of the true people of Nefera. No one has experienced that long time, but the goblins have experienced it. Perhaps their words are indeed more credible.

"What's wrong, Alves, is it because the words of that goblin girl made you shaken?"

The mercenary drank wine from a wooden cup and greeted the young man who lowered his head in thought. Alves realized that he had eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, but Alves was not surprised at all. It would be better to say that he would have been surprised if he had not done so. It will feel strange.

"If you heard those words, I admire you for being able to drink leisurely."

"What else can I do? Drink with a sad face?"

All he could think about was drinking, and he might be thinking too much about himself.

The remaining members of the Sons of Zersi and the orc warriors still live in the village of the White Night Clan. The goblins have designated a small place for them. They look like captive animals. Ma Kai is completely fascinated by these long ears. He was repulsed, but he said that it was more pleasant on the ship, and the sailors hired by the Empire also lived on the ship.The members of the Sons of Zelsi were probably allowed to live in the village to observe the movements of the goblins. Ma Kai was as calm as a falcon in the sky, with no natural enemies.

"Maybe it's troublesome for people with faith." The young man's murmur made the mercenary laugh.

"Hahahaha, faith? Do you know what faith is..."

"..." Looking at Ma Kai's expression, he didn't speak. The cynical mercenary shook the cup in his hand and said.

"Faith is not something like the worship of the goddess or the fear of the Holy See. Faith comes from the heart... It is something that has gone through a long time for an ignorant boy to become a man, and can still stay after a lot of passion. Something that is a reverence for what one believes in. Yes, awe..."

The mercenary repeated.

"There is a difference between awe and fear. I never expect God to bless me. My destiny is in my own hands. When I left home, I wandered on the street hungry and had no food to eat. This is because I made up my mind to kill the person who took away the silver coin I begged for in order to survive. What do you think this silver coin is? Is it because the goddess blessed me? No, she would not consider that much at all. If If the goddess can be so considerate, she is not as great as the legend says. Boy, it is too early for you to talk to me about faith. The survival of mercenaries like me is definitely not due to luck."

"But you believe in phantom gods, don't you?"

"If the Phantom God had no power, would you still believe it?" the mercenary asked him.

The boy was speechless for a moment.

"I strive for my own destiny, but I have never offended the Holy See or the goddess, except for the cardinal. She has a good figure, doesn't she?"

"She's a fairy too." Alves shrugged.

"She's only half-elf, and she looks very gentle."

"Are you in love with her?"

"Maybe." A confused smile appeared on the mercenary's face.

Chapter 321 316. Useless place——6

Saying this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Alves's irritable mood towards Ma Kai in the morning had disappeared. He rarely heard the mercenary express his feelings, but the certainty that this man was not an ordinary gangster gave him a sense of peace of mind. However, it may be okay to speak out what worries you, and sometimes cynical people are worthy of reliance.

"Jimena said a lot, so much that I find it difficult to recall each one now." The young man rubbed his temples, "But the important things have not been forgotten. Do you think that is because she worries too much?"

"Fortunately, I heard everything." He shook the wine glass in his hand and stepped on the deck of the ship a little unsteadily. He didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because of the waves rushing towards the hull. "Is the little princess valuable? The goblins don't care about the outside world, nor do they care about dealing with the kings. All they worry about is whether their own land of Erin will be destroyed by the Demon King's army. For this, they need the power of the fire elves. "

He really listened to everything, probably more clearly than he understood. Ma Kai is such a man.

Then he must know that the resurrection of the brave requires the power of Salamander in Crystal as the key. The goblins have not told him or Ma Kai about this before, and of course Noel and others don't know either. .Jimena said that Chrissy had agreed to this condition, which was beyond Alves' expectations...

Doesn't she trust us?But Alves also understands the reason why Chris would give up everything in order to make Noelle awaken. After all, our journey is already far later than expected.Our princess has an army of ten thousand people in the northern continent. She originally promised to complete the task in two months, but now it far exceeds the agreement. Chrissy became anxious and lost that cautious attitude. Alves was disturbed by this.

"Why do you think they need Salamander."

"I don't know, but the fact that they can strip away this power means they have the ability to control it."

And Crystal is not the only one who is in urgent need of power. Most people will have flaws when they need power. Ma Kai has seen too many people like this. They are as crazy as people addicted to anesthetics in the city. The more experienced ones are like Like a fox, if you are not careful, your tail will appear.

"I'm going to investigate this matter." The young man showed a determined look.
