Chris's Faith of Fire

"Father, what are you..." The elder brother, Jim Siglo, looked like a young man in his 20s, while his younger brother looked even younger. They didn't even have a woman of their own yet.

"The mission left to me by the previous king is to guard Yanxu City and resist the monsters heading north. I swore an oath to my sword."

"The situation is different now." Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of his two sons, I hurriedly said before him.I don’t know why, but even though I’m in the midst of grief over Ingrid’s recent death, my mind is more active than usual. "I am the queen of Garnet, and the Dragon Lord of the Wild Dragon Mountains is already our ally! You no longer need to insist on that oath, I, Ladia... As the Masefield family, the king of New Garnet I order you to follow my footsteps! To add glory to your achievements, I will divide you and the two young masters again when the Demon King is eliminated."

After listening to my impassioned words, he looked up at the gray sky, his lips curved into a smile, and deep wrinkles appeared on his face.

"The sky is gray because volcanoes often emit smoke." His tone was very calm, like an old fishing man.

"Leave the gray sky, we will save the people under the blue sky, and return with hope."

These words must have been terrible, and I could guess what he was going to say next. I saw Lord Victor paused, and then slowly raised his dry lips.

"I want to stay here. This land needs a watchman, and I am that person, Your Majesty..."

"Insisting on glory also depends on the occasion. There is no point in guarding an empty city."

I stared at him, each word coming out loud and clear, and we stared at each other, watching each wrinkle on his face become more distinct.

"My sword is unsheathed to protect the land under my feet..." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to his two sons, "Jim, you will replace me as the Marquis of Yanxu City, but this sword is now I can’t give it to you yet because it carries my oath, do you understand? Ah? Boy!”

"Father……"

"Don't cry like a girl. If it weren't for the inheritance of the family, I would definitely keep you here. This is the land left to us by the late king, and it is our home... Even if we face the challenge of monsters, it is the most glorious. Mission. I have lived for more than 60 years since I was born, and I have never done anything that damages my honor."

He said silently, as if recalling his youth, "Even though my ancestors often laughed at themselves as just an insignificant person... But he has always been loyal to his duties, and future generations have not put a stain on his name. This means to me The most important thing. By the way, although I don’t know whether your brother is alive or dead, if he is still alive, please help me take care of him and say sorry."

"Yes, father! If we find Crowe, we will definitely not bully him like before."

"Me too!"

Crowe seemed to be a new civil servant whom Chrissy favored in the palace. He must not have survived that sudden change. Even if he survived, he must have been transformed into a demon by the Demon King, just like his mother. Same.

"What have you been doing, you guys! That's enough, get out of here... Your Majesty seems to have something to say." Victor pretended to be angry, but his eyes became moist.

"Yes!" "Got it!"

Victor waved his hands in a driving gesture, and I watched the two young men who were a little older than me run away crying like children.

There are thousands of words of accusations tumbling in my heart, and I can scold him thoroughly.

Put honor and honor on yourself every day. If you don’t have honor, won’t you eat?

I am a knight who swore an oath in front of the goddess, and honor is also very important to me, but most knights in peaceful times do not understand what true honor is.You have to pay the price of your life for this, and you even have to be willing to see it as your destiny to die a worthy death.

Looking at the old man in front of me, I couldn't say anything to blame.

"The Valkyrie will recognize you as a warrior."

"That's me, the best place to be."

In response to these words, I walked past him. Lord Ulysses and Richat were already standing outside the city gate, waiting for me.

He mounted his horse and looked at the soldiers behind him.

The giant dragon hovering in the sky has begun to lower its height.

Long speeches are no longer possible.

Looking back, I saw the old man's body casting a long and narrow shadow on the city wall, pointing forward.

"March eastward!" I shouted.

"Towards the direction where the heroic spirits fell!"

Chapter 336 331. The end of the road——1

Chrissy’s perspective:

I looked up at the gloomy ceiling. There was a drop of water dripping from the rocks. There was a damp smell in the air, which made people feel uncomfortable.It's really surprising that there is such a place in the place where books are stored, but now is not the time to be surprised. My hands were handcuffed together, and there were blood stains on them. I could only smell the extremely disgusting smell of moss. If I hadn't been used to it, I'm afraid I can't be quiet here at all in my adventurous life. It will become crying and fussy... It will give me a headache, although the result will not change.

I don’t know how long I have been locked up here. It was a pity that what unfolded like a love story before has become a prisoner today. After leaving the cave, I wanted to return to the village as soon as possible. When I found out, I went back to my room to rest. The fatigue of the day had accumulated on my body, and I found it difficult to even open my eyes.But the lights in the village reminded me that they were not asleep yet... Yes, the fairies of the Night Clan were gathered in front of the village gate. Their expressions were full of anger. I sensed something was wrong and gathered Mana. I grabbed my hand, but the next moment I felt a gust of cold wind behind me, and I felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"Who is the intruder? Efa told me that someone entered the village and walked into the boy's room." Although I couldn't see the face clearly, I could tell that the person speaking was Lifaria just by her voice.

"Looking at the footprints, they belong to a male. Such heavy footsteps are not from our tribe." The person who answered her was the guards. They looked extremely nervous. I still couldn't figure out what happened, why I was attacked, and why they acted like they had planned it in the middle of the night. Standing outside the gate of his village, he couldn't understand the reason for this urgent conversation.

"Have they noticed that the traitor leaked the news?" Lifaria asked sternly. No one dared to interrupt her. After her anger subsided, the guard spoke, "It shouldn't be the case. That kid is still in the dungeon. There is no sign that the lock has been opened at all."

"Then they discovered it on their own. Forget it, search that kid's room again! Also, throw her into the dungeon! Use magical confinement locks, add three more, and deal with them at the same level as dragons She, this child is the incarnation of an elf."

"Understood!" The black fairies were still discussing something, but after receiving a heavy blow, my consciousness was getting further and further away. As a guard opened my mouth and poured something into it, I completely passed out. past.

When I woke up again, it was here. It took me a while to realize what had just happened.

The black fairies suddenly violently attacked me, led by Lifaria. I wanted to see Sani, but what's the use of looking for her at this time?

Just as Lyfaria said, my hands were cuffed. This thing was a perfect mirror ring. It didn’t look like metal, but more like a crystal. At the same time, my waist and legs were also cuffed. With the same thing cuffed on, I couldn't feel Mana's power at all, and even my body felt much weaker.The heavy shackles made my body almost succumb to gravity, but a chain hanging from my waist made it not so easy for me.

What exactly are they trying to do?

Although I could not evoke the flame of Salamander, a fire of ignorant karma burned in my heart.I came here to awaken the brave, but things are getting more and more wrong the more I think about it. Are they really here to awaken the brave?Do the so-called rituals and time really need to be that long?I have read a chronicle in the underground library. Although there are many fairy texts that I can’t understand, are rituals really necessary?Even in history, there have been few times when elves have given power to brave men.

No matter what, now the fatigue and heavy chains are pressing down on my body, and I can’t even breathe...

"If there's anything I can do..."

"Haha..." A dry laughter echoed on the other side of the cell. On the other side of the wall that I couldn't see, someone seemed to be making this mocking sound.

"who is it?"

Not long after hearing my voice, he just laughed a few more times.

A bright light illuminated the prison opposite me, with a wheat-colored complexion and a slender body... But it was already riddled with holes, and his body was covered with whips. The light on his hand flickered on and off as he bit it. His teeth threw light onto the wall in one breath, and it seemed that his body could no longer support such a small amount of magic. It was really unimaginable for fairies who were born with magical talents.

"Don't you recognize me? The host of the Flame Elf..."

The moment I raised my head, I saw him. His short gray hair was particularly conspicuous, and his whole body was dull, except for his bright golden eyes that shone brightly.

"Atajel? Why are you here."

"I am the one who wants to ask this question, why do you appear here again... Although you can guess it, haha."

He smiled bitterly and showed off his shackled ankles. "I was imprisoned here only after I discovered the truth. I have warned you, but it seems that you have been plotted by them."

Warned me?His words only reminded me of the long list of myths Atajel told me that night. Before he left, he also talked about angels and fairies. I had long forgotten these things because they didn't sound of much value. .Looking back now, Atajel's tone was excited and indignant, and it seemed that there was a longer story waiting for me to understand behind the myth of the angels.

"Tell me...why this happened! Why do the fairies attack me? What good does this do to them!" I was so angry that I tried to free myself from the chains, but this thing wrapped around my body like thorns.

"How should I answer so many questions at once? I also suggest that you don't spend any effort on these locks. These are black crystals used to restrain dragons. Not only will they make you feel tired but they will almost completely block you." Your connection to the Gate of Mana.”

So this thing was prepared for me from the beginning. The thing used to restrain the dragon was placed on my body. They didn't have any good intentions from the beginning!He was brought to this village just to deceive me.

"I already know the reason for using this kind of lock, because they are afraid of my power! I will burn them to death in an instant, but now I just want to know why they lock me here."

The roar made his throat become even drier. Looking at the water left on the ceiling, he couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance slowly welling up. "What on earth did I do...what did I do wrong?" The voice slowly became smaller and smaller, leaving Atajel with only the echo and the ticking sound of water falling along the rocks.

He was silent, not sure whether he was thinking about what to say or just thought I was ridiculous now. The chain on his foot made a clattering sound. It was not a dragon lock, but an ordinary iron chain. "If it were you who was tied to this chain, you would be able to escape, right?"

"Of course I'll melt this thing with flames."

"Unfortunately, I can neither produce such high-temperature flames nor endure the burning of metal."

"So this is what they wanted?"

"In a sense, yes, they surrendered to a force that they couldn't resist at all, so they had to do this."

Chapter 337 332. The end of the road——2

"An irresistible force?" I repeated his words. "what is that?"

"You know, the power of the Demon King." When he said this, his expression was full of pain, as if he was trying his best to think about something but couldn't remember it.

"The Demon King? I'm here just because I want to defeat him, isn't it?"

"It's not that simple."

It's not that simple, but you don't say anything, how can you believe it.

Speaking of which, the goblins are just a bunch of mysterious guys. Generally speaking, they are already formidable enemies. Would they still care about rituals and waste a month?At first, it was because my desire to awaken the hero was too strong and I ignored some details.But now, I do feel various violations.

For example, why is the goblin who serves as the ritual instructor almost the youngest among them?The fairies obviously live a very leisurely life, so such important matters should be handled by the elders, right?Although we are outsiders, the people of the White Night Clan are too cold towards my subordinates. I have never heard of such a thing from my ancestors. The arrogance and rudeness of the goblins seems to be deeply ingrained, and I don’t believe that they are idiots. .

After that, Lyfaria took me to their village, and then adopted a laissez-faire attitude. Until their sudden attack today, Lyfaria was definitely hiding something important.

Things are getting worse and worse. What I am more worried about now is Noel's safety. Since I have been "received" by the Night Clan, something will happen to Noel. Although he is a brave man, those goblins They understood that he was not yet complete and had a fatal weakness that he would lose power without the Holy Sword. If there was a sneak attack, the naive Noelle would have no chance of winning.

"Tell me everything you know, Atajel!"

The goblin young man had a bitter look on his face, and the little blood stained on his gray-white hair had almost dried up and turned black and red.

"I want to talk, I want to talk about all this, but they don't know what they did to my head. Now I can only vaguely remember that everything is related to the Demon King. Our elders finally chose to serve him..."

"How is it possible... to lie..."

"This is the only one I'm sure is true."

Stop talking nonsense, you are simply delusional!How can anyone in this world still be willing to stand with the devil?

No, that's not right... The memory brought me back to my senses, as well as the Leeches, Yvette, Crow... and Free, and Miss Angela, all of them.

What's more, now it is irrefutable proof that I am locked here.

I tried to control my emotions. My worries were unnecessary. I had to believe that Noelle could take care of himself, and that Alves and Xaka would also be safe.And there was only one thing I had to worry about.

"Atajel, how should I get out of here? Even though it's a chain used to bind a dragon, it doesn't have its weaknesses."

"That thing will consume Mana to offset the Mana in you. If you can hold on for long enough, it will collapse on its own."

The more powerful the magic item, the more energy it requires. Sure enough, nothing is perfect in this world.

"So, how long?" I asked.

"With the amount of mana you have, this thing will consume all its energy within 10 days."

"It's too long! Everything will change in 10 days, my fate, and the fate of the brave..."

"This is something that can't be helped..."

Atajel's despair can be felt from the gray face and the dim orb of light beside him that is about to disappear.

I don't know how to cheer him up. Now is not the time to lose his fighting spirit. I think of something from before.

"Atajel, you and Jimena are lovers, right?"

"Yeah." He nodded bluntly and boringly.

"She is still alive now. Maybe she is working hard like you?"

"..." The black goblin shook his gray hair and looked like he didn't want to speak.

"But we..."

"But what!" He suddenly became angry, clenched his hands into fists and hammered the wall hard, as if even the cell here was shaken for a moment. "We are being imprisoned now, what else can we do? Jimena, I want to save her more than anyone else. I don't want to see her get hurt at all, just like that brave man did to you!"

"Atajel..."

"I'm just glad I'm locked up here now and not her."

From Atajel's words that day, I had already vaguely judged that their relationship was like this. If it was a girl, anyone could see the helplessness and sadness on the young man's face. Although I don't know what means were used to forget him, But he must have been very close to the truth, so he was locked up in such a place.

"Calm down, Atajel, my shackles are difficult to break, but the ones that imprison you are just ordinary chains."

He smiled slightly, "Ordinary chains? That's right, but the fact that they put these shackles on me just means that it's enough to lock you up with this kind of thing. I haven't eaten for several days now, and my strength and Mana It’s all at the lowest level. Even if I don’t care about these two legs, I can’t use powerful magic.”

"There will definitely be a way..." I insisted.

"What can I do? This is all your imagination. We are finished! Don't you understand? There is a terrifying existence here. Even if I forget his name, the feeling of terror is still deeply imprinted in my mind. Then This guy has already controlled all of Irene, you just threw yourself into the trap."

"is that so……"

"Yes, that's it, so let's end it soon...it's the end of the road."

Looking at his appearance, I gritted my teeth. I looked at my hands, and saw that there were several cuts made by the smooth but sharp black crystal.I moved my body, shook the chains desperately, and struggled. If I could feel the Mana Gate, this kind of shackles would not be worth mentioning at all.

"What are you doing?" he asked curiously.

When it was first scratched, I didn't feel anything in my arm, but now I feel a sting every time a sharp part touches the wound. "My wrist is very thin, maybe I can get it out."

"Are you kidding? There are three shackles on your body. Even if you break free of your arms, you still have waist and ankles. Not to mention you may have to pay the price with one hand! Hurry..."

"Shut up." I bit my lip, enduring the pain. "Anyone who plans to sit here and wait for death, don't talk to me!"

"What...what's the point of you doing this!"
