Chris's Faith of Fire

Orcs, as expected, the topic will eventually turn to this aspect.

"Why not? Now everyone has the same purpose, and it is precisely because of their help that we can defeat those demons."

"Who knows what they are for! You don't seem to understand why our great ancestors kept them on the other side of the Wind's Breath River, Lord Asha."

Of course I know, but is it time to take a long-sighted view? It is clear that your life is about to be in danger, do you still need to care about whose strength you borrow?If he and Lian could deal with Alexia, why would he come here to cause trouble?Asha was almost on the verge of going berserk, but luckily Rebekah had warned her enough not to get angry.

"Those orc armies are led by brave men and fire elves, which is completely different from the one led by the Beast King."

"Brave?" It seems that His Majesty is very concerned about this matter. "Have you found the hero? But the Holy See has not yet spread the news."

Indeed, even Asha herself just found out from Lian a few days ago.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the brave now needs the ability of the Fairy Tribe to awaken his power, and the host of the Fire Elf, Your Highness Crystal, is also accompanying him."

"Elf of Fire?"

"Is she the little princess of Garnet? Rumor has it that she is just a pretty girl who doesn't care about the world."

"It turns out she is still alive. Princess Holy Sword is still resisting the Demon King's army in the southern border of Garnet. I thought Her Highness Chris would be by her side, but did she want to divide her own sphere of influence?"

"It seems inappropriate to keep her within the borders of the country, let alone in the land adjacent to Parthia."

The adults were talking about it, but Laharl narrowed his eyes, "Sir Asha, what on earth do you want to do by colluding with the Orcs and the nobles of Garnet?"

This is the right thing for me to ask you, Asha thought to herself.

"But uncle and the others are also fighting for Gilkern." The king commented.

"It's not that, it's for all the creatures on this continent." The Duke corrected his nephew.

After hearing this, Lahar clearly showed a disgusted attitude, "Although it sounds nice, what guarantee are there for these words? Why do you need His Majesty's help when even a brave man supports you?"

"Because they are still in the fairy land Erin at this time, we must gather all our strength to help them to resist Alexia before returning."

"Is there any evidence for what you said?" The only woman sitting in this room spoke up. From the beginning, she had been looking at the dispute between Asha and Lahar with a look that found interesting things. Adele · Amyceste Rhine, she has had black hair and fair skin since ten years ago. She is almost 40 years old now, but not a single wrinkle can be seen.

"All the soldiers in the legion are witnesses. I also brought Miss Alyssa, Alyssa Veblen... I believe some of you have heard of her name."

"Veblen...ah, that little girl who refused to admit defeat. I remember she came to me to be a swordsmanship teacher, but her father couldn't afford the tuition no matter what, but for the sake of being a cute girl, she taught me Her for a while." Adele's voice sounded very happy, and this past event seemed to make her recall endlessly. "But how can I trust a lower-level aristocratic girl who can't even be named a gem?" She cleared her throat and the conversation changed sharply. Adele is known as the most money-loving lady in the kingdom, and ordinary people The lady is different. She doesn't like gorgeous clothes or jewelry, she just wants to increase her money.

When we are all dead, your money will be useless, Asha cursed secretly.

"Your Majesty, we are pressed for time, even wizards...we need help, otherwise..."

"If there are no so-called brave men then, but the Orcs and the Demon King's army are working together, how can we resist it?" Lahar finally chose to use the fact that there were untrustworthy Orcs in their team as an excuse to win affirmed by other ministers.

Chapter 325 320. The troops are approaching the city - 3

The night was long, especially uncomfortable in someone else's castle.

Although his and Rebecca's bed was made of fine velvet, it did not consider the sentiment at all. In everyone's eyes, this little girl-like beauty was just a tool for the Duke to vent his sexual desires. Looking at the contemptuous looks cast by the ministers, He didn't say anything because it wasn't something that needed to be said.

They had been sleeping together for half the night, and Rebekah had already fallen asleep. He was stroking the water-colored hair of his newly married wife and letting it slide through his fingertips. Listening to Rebekah's even breathing, the Duke couldn't help but say A sigh came out.

"Huh...what's wrong?" Rebekah obediently got into the arms of the Grand Duke and acted coquettishly. Of course she knew what happened. All this was not beyond expectations. Asha, who had not been to Xidelin for many years, The adults have long since lost their authority.

"Rebecca, are you still asleep?" he said, "or did I wake you up?"

The girl shook her head. Although this movement was very small, Yasha could still see her beloved wife clearly through the moonlight.

They have not held a wedding yet, and the two have agreed to hold it again after the war, and let the king and the bishop of Neferait come to bless it, although they would not agree if they knew that Rebekah was once a prostitute.She doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. For people who have gone through hardships, a stable life is like a gift.

Therefore, in order to achieve this kind of stability, we must let this kind of blessing shine on all kinds of people.

He told this idea to Rebekah, and the beautiful girl burst into laughter.

"There are many people who hate Asha-sama."

"for example?"

"Nobles, thieves." Rebekah put her finger to her lips and continued, "The merchants living below the city, and the blacksmiths who complained secretly."

She came up with her petite and warm skin, hugged the Duke who had become stronger, and pulled up the blanket to cover her body.In the past, she had never been shy even if she was naked in front of others, but now her face would turn red if Asa looked at her more than once.

"But no matter what, everyone likes you the most."

"Me too……"

"Liar~" Rebekah kissed his neck. "I remember you said before that you liked Miss Chris, and you were a little jealous~" The girl's sweet cooing irritated his ears.

She is so cute when she deliberately puffs up her cheeks to pretend to be angry. I don't know why I haven't noticed it before. Even though I have such a wonderful girl by my side, I am never satisfied.In the past, I was full of greed and had no desires. I was just a walking corpse, he thought.It was Chris who allowed herself to see color for the first time in a gray and white world. She was different from others, but in the end it was Rebekah who stayed by her side and magnified the colors to fill her vision.

Chris is very cute and has an indescribable charm...but now I can't imagine her sleeping next to him.Probably because she already knows that she is the Crystal Princess of the Kingdom of Fire, no... she is the queen who the beasts say can save the world.

"All I love is you, Rebekah."

"Oh, you suddenly said it with such a serious face..." She didn't know how to reply, her cheeks were already steaming with heat, she just let her petite body press closer to the Duke's skin, hugging him tightly. "Me too... Do you want to do it again, sir?"

She could feel her breathing and hear her heartbeat. The heat coming from her plump breasts stimulated Asha's senses. It was so annoying and confusing to say no at this time... But, he In the end, he just stroked his wife's long, silky hair again.

"The night is still long, but the day feels tense and rushed. Go to sleep... dear Rebekah."

◆ ◇

"So that's not a prostitute?"

Adele stood with her arms akimbo by the outer wall of the castle, where there was only the night breeze and the occasional barking of dogs. The woman leaned against the wall and sneered at the Duke in front of her.He was only wearing pajamas and seemed to be ignorant of heat and cold, but his expression didn't show how cold he was.

"I pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Don't call her a whore again." The Duke said sternly, and Adele shrugged.

"Don't get me wrong, sir... I just think she is very good at that kind of thing, and I don't mean to belittle your wife at all. Girls from the Dwarf Rock Tribe are rare now, and they are such beautiful girls instead of looking like four A bloated aunt who is as old as 50 years old. I sincerely envy you, sir~"

The first swordsman's charming smile appeared on her cheeks, and now Asha, as a vampire, could see her clearly.

She was still wearing an exquisite silk dress during the day, and now she was wearing a cloak, and underneath were light clothes, as if she had just woken up, but it didn't look like she had just come out of her room.

"The test is over, Adele...teacher. You have been staring at us outside all night? I believe that as a graceful swordsman and beauty, you should not have such a bad taste."

This woman also exudes a strong female scent, which seems to tempt every man. "Bad taste?" the woman sneered. "I don't know who asked me to become an adult."

"Well, that was just me being confused. Lauren must have done the same thing!" Yasha yelled at her awkwardly, causing Adele's shoulders to tremble and she couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, you were all young at the time, and I didn't ask for your money."

"Only prostitutes ask for money." Yasha's tone rose, as if she was responding to the rudeness she had just shown to Rebekah.

But Adele just shrugged, "I didn't say I wasn't~"

Facts have proved that this woman will not lower her head because of shame. She is such a shameless person. She should have known it a long time ago. She had not been married for more than 20 years, and her parents passed away after leaving only property, leaving this girl who did not understand human relationships and had no talents to become more and more distorted.

Fortunately, she is not a bad person overall, as long as there is no money involved.

This is at the heart of today’s conversation.

"So, why did you come to me, teacher."

Adele opened her cloak and took out a thick book from between her cleavage. No...it looked like a ledger.

She grabbed it in her hands and looked at the grand duke in front of her, "This is the account of the winery run by Laharl. He maintains a large part of the expenses of the Knights of the West Wind. Similarly, many nobles in order to obtain the Knights of the West Wind... His Majesty spent money to aid Lahar under the protection of the military, which is the reason why he is so arrogant."

"That's it." Asha didn't look surprised.

Because of this relationship, he can probably guess it, and more importantly, he knows what the first female swordsman will say next.

"So, how much will you pay for this, my cute little fat boy."

Chapter 326 321. The troops are approaching the city - 4

No matter what price she proposes, she will raise it. If it is too low, she will refuse the transaction outright.If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be bothered by this matter at all. She can have as much money as she wants, but she can't...because no matter how much, she can't fill that gluttonous mouth.But now the Orc army is directly supplied by itself, so money cannot be given casually.

"Adele, how much do you want..." There was some unconfidence in his voice, and Adele laughed immediately.

"Does a person like you care about money? I heard that the lord of Anatolia City squandered it freely in order to search for the girl." She raised her finger on the account book and turned her head to look under the city wall. "I have arranged for people down there. The moment the account books fall, they will pick them up and burn them. From then on, Lord Lahar's sins will be buried under the earth as fertilizer." She smiled at Asha and put on her makeup. The purple lip gloss on the lips is so charming.

"How did you get it? Laharl is not such a stupid person."

"There is no such thing as a man who has meat but doesn't want to eat it. I am what you call a prostitute, the one who pays more than others... Others want some scraps of money, but I don't."

Of course, you will also blackmail, Asha cursed secretly.

This woman slept with Laharl, but that guy would not hand over his criminal record to her so easily. As a noble thief, she had her own way and way. Yasha didn't want to go through the process. learn.

But now he had no choice. The Duke took a breath and said, "Fifty thousand April." This price was already the largest amount of cash he could control in a short period of time, but Adele shook her head after hearing this. "It's impossible for my heart to even beat." After saying that, her finger loosened up a bit, and was caught by her other hand just as it was about to fall. "So, have your prices changed?"

"Teacher Adele... this is the limit of what I can manage, and now I am responsible for supplying the army's food... This risk is too great for me. Even if I take this account book, I can't say that there is enough." The evidence will hold up against Lahar.”

"Yes, there are many ministers and followers in Lahar. Although their personal power is very small, it is enough in this palace where heroes no longer exist. Our Majesty is so lacking in decisiveness." Adele opened the page He glanced at the ledger pretendingly, then closed it again. "I'm not an unreasonable person. What can you give me, even if it's not money? After all, you are here to save the world."

The words "save the world" sounded somewhat sarcastic in her voice. In essence, Asha didn't think there was any difference between Adele and Lahar, because it was not their turn to save the world, so what? Just don't do anything. He used to be like this too, so he knew it very well.

"Yes, yes. It's best if you understand, Teacher Adele." Seeing the first swordsman's attitude softening, he wanted to seize this opportunity, because her mood was changeable, and the opportunity would be instant. Pass away. "As long as I can do anything, I will do it. I hope you can help me for my sake. Garnet's fire gold coins were all dissolved after the country was destroyed. Teacher, you also hate it. It’s a troublesome thing, right…”

In a world not ruled by humans, what's the point of asking for money?

Adele is not thinking about such simple things. Even though she is inclined to help herself, she never provides a free lunch. This thing is a bargaining chip that Adele has already prepared. The worst is to break up. How can a person like him Everyone can survive, but it is just to strive for the greatest benefit.

What matters is sincerity and letting the other person believe in you.

"Let's do this. You propose a price, and I will use all my strength to complete it. Now that the Demon King's army is approaching the city, I can't let the soldiers starve, but..."

"That's enough." Adele said quietly. "I don't want your money."

"for free?"

What filled Asha's heart when she heard this was definitely not peace of mind.

Free is the most expensive, my father once said...

"True people of Nefera." She read, and Asha's nerves became tense. "Take me to him."

"Is that all?"

"That's all...and you can't object to what I say next, that's it, I'll give you the account book."

After saying that, she threw it away like garbage, making it impossible to figure out what this woman was thinking.

Yasha took out the account book and looked through it carefully. Only after confirming that it was not a wordless prank did he feel at ease.

"Thank you...Teacher Adele."

"Don't thank me, this is just the beginning."

Early the next morning, the issues that did not end yesterday will continue today.

The number of ministers attending the meeting today has been reduced to half, and it seems that they no longer care about the outcome of this meeting.

It seems to be an established fact that there will be no aid.

Alyssa stood beside her today, like a guard. Her delicate face and graceful figure attracted the attention of the nobles.

"This is..." Lahar asked.

"Miss Alyssa Veblen." Asha answered.

"Since she is a lower-level noble, please keep her outside the door. The knights should not be allowed to participate in the ministers' meeting..."

He is still arrogant and arrogant. Is it because he knows that everyone is on his side that he dares to act so wantonly?But today Asha didn't care so much.

"No need, I allow Miss Alyssa to stand here."

"His Majesty……"

After hearing the king's words, there was no objection immediately. The king and Alyssa looked at each other, and Asha was startled.

Did it turn out that this little girl also had a way to gain access to His Majesty on her own?Miss Fermina, who was in charge of the beast tribe, once said that she should take good care of her, but she didn't expect that she was much more powerful than she thought.

The Duke smiled at Alyssa, and she took out the account book from her arms.

It was the book that Adele gave him last night. After he returned, he had checked it with Alyssa all night. It was indeed Lahar's account book, otherwise it would be too difficult to forge such a large book.

"Yesterday I was opposed by Laharl's 'Sir' for some reason. Today I know why." Yasha still emphasized the word "sir". He looked at Laharl's already pale face with satisfaction. I wanted to look back for a moment, probably because I wanted to see Adele, and I didn't know what it felt like to know that I had been betrayed.

First it was Chijiu, and then it was this woman. As expected, all charming women were untrustworthy, and my own Rebekah was the best.

This is probably why I like innocent girls.

"Lord Lahar, I heard that you have been in control of His Majesty's 'Knights of the West Wind', and provided private protection through the force of the Knights, charging inappropriate amounts." Now he knew that there must be a satisfied smile on his face. , the joy of success should be left behind, so Asha endured it for a while, put away her smile and turned her face to Lapus. "Your Majesty, this is the account book of Mr. Laharl's winery. There are many black accounts in it... I have already read it."

The conference hall became noisy.

Some people's faces were even paler than Lahar's, and some wanted to say something to argue, but in the end they stopped talking.

After all, reacting violently is like telling others that you participated, making it easier for you to be betrayed by your peers.
