Chris's Faith of Fire

"I... am the only one who has to worry about you, Chris. You don't have to blame yourself..."

how can that be possible.

I believed the goblins' words and became self-righteous.

Because I had Salamander's power, I felt like I could do anything. But now that I lost it, I realized that I can actually do nothing.

I owe everyone a lot, but the important thing is not the debt, but how to repay... The hope of mankind, as a brave man, you are blind now and cannot awaken. How should we fight against the Demon King's army?The only clue, the Angel of Wisdom is also a complete mystery.

"Noelle, I'm really...I'm sorry, wuwu."

"Chris..."

Noelle's eyes were covered by bandages and he lowered his head slightly. Since I couldn't see his eyes, I didn't know how he felt.

But just from the subtle movements, you can tell that he is feeling quite uncomfortable.

Being blind myself, I couldn't imagine what it would be like for a person to spend forever in the darkness, but he didn't complain at all, while I was left crying alone.

Thinking of this, there are some things I want to say no matter what.

"In fact, I have been deceiving you and using you... Noel, because you value that engagement, I have always used this to gain your favor. Because you are a brave man, I hope to borrow your power to fight against the devil. military……"

Tears flowed non-stop. The saddest thing was not that I had deceived Noelle, but that I still couldn't like him at this point.

This boy gave his all for me.

My sister Sylvie was taken away by the devil, and I lost my sight, but he still cared about my feelings.

And I still can't like him.

"Ugh... It must be cunning to say something like this now, but I don't know how to compensate you... Just beat me up, Noelle, please... because I am such a selfish and despicable woman."

This has been like this a long time ago. I have always used this ambiguous method to get what I want, but I have never worked hard to become a person worthy of others' respect.Just relying on prostitution to survive, he became the kind of human being he once hated the most.

Chapter 356 351. Broken Oath——7

"I know..." Noelle replied, still with such a clean and soft voice, "You like Fami."

Under the illumination of the oil lamp at night, I could see his face clearly. The blood stains had been cleaned away, and it was white and beautiful...like white porcelain.

If Sylvie finds out that I caused her brother to go blind, she will definitely kill me.But even so, I still hope she can come back. His shadow moves with the light. I don’t know what I should say. Whether it is admitting or denying it is too rude to him. I can only remain silent and stay silent like this. , but I just want to express my thoughts.

"Sorry……"

This must be the worst apology. He wouldn't want to hear what I said, but he couldn't do it without saying it.

"It's because I'm too pretentious. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Chris never said she liked me once. The first time I saw your bright red dress at the banquet, I knew I had fallen deeply in love with it. She became a girl, even when my father was fighting the Demon King’s Army, or when Sylvie disappeared... Haha, I should have understood this from the beginning, what a fool I was.”

His wry smile sounded like torture now.

Normally, he would never even say these words, because he cares too much about other people's feelings... But now his patience has reached its limit.

Because Noel has a good temper, I have been "bullying" him, thinking that he is a saint, but brave people are also ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires.

Of course I like you, but I just like... a simple boy named Noelle, an upright human being.

As the dark yellow light swayed, he took a breath, probably because he no longer wanted me to stay here.

"Woooo!"

I heard the chirping of the unicorn. Are you hungry?

"You have a good rest and leave everything to me..."

After leaving these words, I left the room and gently closed the door. If possible, I really wanted to warm him with my body. After all, I am a woman... But this kind of pity-like behavior undoubtedly hurt us at the same time. The insult from both of them, not to mention that I can no longer do that kind of thing to other boys.

Back on the deck, the West Wind Maid, as its name suggests, is swaying under the wind, just like a graceful girl. The unicorn that called me, Xiaowu, is still chirping, and its hooves are treading. It made a crisp sound when it touched the deck. Although it was a major contributor to defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, it might affect others' rest at this time...

"What's wrong?" I tried to ask it. The appearance of a unicorn is just like a horse with a horn, but its intelligence is similar to that of a human being. If the horn on its head is cut off, it can be used as a medicine to cure all diseases. Can penetrate dragon scales.Can that horn cure Noelle's eyes?This thought flashed through my mind in an instant, but Xiaowu saved my life after all, and according to what Bayer said, it shouldn't be that easy.

"Are you hungry?"

"Uu~uu!" This tone sounded like a protest. Could it be that the food was not delicious?

It raised its slender feet, and there was not a trace of hair on its body. It looked even more dazzling under the reflection of the moonlight.Xiaowu is considered quite beautiful among horses. He circled my body, then carefully avoided the long horns and brought his face close to mine.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"woo woo woo woo!"

It still chirped like that, and the cheerful sound showed that I guessed the correct answer.

Then the unicorn rushed towards Noelle's door. When I tried to stop it, it had already hit it with one corner and hit the door lock... The wooden door was rushed open in an instant.

"What's wrong, Chris? Is it you..."

Noelle sat up from the bed in panic. He was like a frightened bird in the darkness, even the slightest movement would make him feel scared.

"It's okay, it's okay! Xiaowu suddenly bumped into your door!"

"Xiaowu?"

"Oh, that's my unicorn!"

"Unicorn?" By the way, he didn't know that Bayer was stabbed to death by Xiaowu in the end. "Oh, I remembered... you did bring a unicorn with you when it rained in the cave that day. Come here, what’s wrong with it?”

"I don't know... He was very well-behaved just now, but now he's a little manic. He probably hasn't been fed enough and is dissatisfied with the food here."

"Woo!" The cry was short and rapid, as if to object to my point of view.

"It feels like it's trying to tell us something."

After saying that, Xiaowu barked twice again, and this time the tone became cheerful again.

I don’t understand the idea of ​​​​this unicorn at all. Even if it has human-level intelligence, it can’t communicate well if it doesn’t understand the language. Although Xiaowu seems to understand what we are saying, he may understand the common language, but it The vocal organs are unable to speak our language.

Seeing that we were still indifferent at this point, Xiaowu finally became impatient. It still made noise by stepping on its feet, ran to Noelle's bed, and bent down obediently.

"Hey, are you going to let Noelle ride on it, or do you want me to ride on it?"

"Woo!" That's all it could say.

Of course I didn't understand what it meant by just chirping like this, so I sat on it first.Xiaowu didn't resist, he still bent over and shook his body, as if he wanted to move me forward.

"Noelle... I think it wants you to sit on it too."

"Eh? I heard that only pure virgins can ride unicorns..."

"Can it be said that Noelle, you are actually a girl?" I said jokingly, looking at his delicate cheeks.

"That's not true!"

His cheeks turned red and he was a little embarrassed. It was really uncomfortable to see his body trembling every move. I believe that if he could get his eyesight back, he would be able to give up even one arm, but his body and skin can't tolerate it. In exchange, I took the boy's hand and helped him sit behind me.Noelle has grown very tall, and he is gradually starting to look like a man... Everyone thinks he is weak and gentle, but I know clearly that he also has a fire in his heart. Even though he has not been educated by his father, He is also a person with faith in fire.

"Hold my waist, Noelle~"

"Ok!"

He held my waist obediently and didn't feel any discomfort at all. Maybe it was because there was no "extra thing" between us.

The ambiguous feelings gradually became less entangled. Noelle and I no longer cared about the ambiguous feelings. I had already taken off my fiancée's ring and put it on my index finger to indicate friendship.

Men and women can continue to interact even if they are not lovers.

I want to have a better relationship with Noelle...

Comrades in arms.

Chapter 357 352. Broken Oath——8

The sky is still full of twin moons, the twin moons have passed, and there is still some distance between the twin heirs.I thought Xiaowu would get off the deck well, but who knew that it jumped across the sky with all its strength, as if it was following the moon in the sky.

"Hold on to me, Noelle!"

"Ok!"

Noelle hugged my waist completely, while I grabbed Xiaowu's neck and pressed against the beautiful beast... Although it was a beast, it had no smell. Unicorns like pure things, so they always use the cleanest ones. spring water for bathing.

"Where is it taking us?"

"Maybe just want to go for a spin?"

Want to help after seeing the awkward atmosphere between us?

I don’t understand. Even if Noel is blind, he is still a brave man. It is understandable that Xiaowu cares about his mood because of this. What’s more, what we will face next is an even more cruel fate.

With a bump, we fell from mid-air to the ground, and our buttocks hurt... But because we held on to the unicorn's body tightly, Noelle and I were not injured. Xiaowu's flexible movements seemed to avoid such injuries as much as possible. It continued running, heading straight towards the continent inside the forest.

"Could it be that you want to return to Eden? Please spare me..."

There are still a lot of corpses there. After the goblins return the true people, they will return to the dust. On the contrary, those who have not returned will not.What's more, after the Beersheba tree fell down, there was nothing left to commemorate here. The beautiful scenery of Eden when Jimena taught me was still left in my mind. Unfortunately, it was the same as Bayer's lie. It's just a passing cloud.

Noelle took a breath, "There's nothing wrong with going back. I really care about what Bayer said before."

"You mean that the Holy Tree is the key to awakening the brave?"

He nodded.

"But, the holy tree has been destroyed... Bayer knew this but still did it. He never thought of helping me or the Demon King from the beginning. He just used everything to see the goddess."

He said that the Demon King was also from another world, and also mentioned the name Sayuri... Somehow, I always felt like I had heard this name somewhere.Regardless of this, he just thought that there was a close connection between people and goddesses in other worlds, so he wanted to get entangled with them. First it was the Demon King, and now it's me. But after learning that I met the goddess through a near-death experience, he didn't care at all. It means to continue to obey.

It seems that he is completely tired of this kind of obedience, and he has been doing things he doesn't want to do for a long time.

Even if he turns into Mana, he may not be able to go to the goddess's residence, and even if he goes there, the goddess may not invite him to talk for a few words.

When Gooshi said that the goddess betrayed them, did he mean that the goddess cared more about humans?They don't care about the fact that they are fairies and the descendants of angels, and they prefer the humans they created, even the true people of Nefera from another world?

So does Beyer also have his own belief in fire?

This is something only the devil himself knows... As the wind ruffled my bangs, I shook my head and looked at Noelle again, waiting for his opinion on what I just said.

"Despite this, I always feel that there is still hope." The young man was just blind, but he still said hope. He was really optimistic...

"Hope... I have a story about hope."

"what story?"

The story of Pandora's Box.

"Do you want me to tell you?" I raised the corners of my mouth unconsciously. Telling stories is always very pleasant for storytellers.

"Of course I want to hear it...and Chris seems to know a lot of stories."

So I paused and started telling this story. I replaced the name of the god, combined it with the myth that Jimena told me before, and changed it to Noah’s box... I finished the story under improvisation, and to a certain extent, I used it as a reference. Nefera created Noah.Noah was perfect and the first man. He had intercourse with the goddess and gave birth to Rebekah, but he was made as a weapon. I don’t know if the goddess had true feelings for Noah, but he must have opened Pandora. box.Because with the creation of the brave creature, both angels and demons have souls. The angels learned to be jealous and fell because of it... because the initial misunderstanding ended up being irreconcilable with humans.

He listened quietly, and even though the story contained my personal understanding and comments, he didn’t say anything...

It's just that the corners of his mouth met my smile in a tacit understanding.

The forest at night is not only quiet, but also always feels a bit humid. By the time we returned to that sad place, there were no more fires.It seems that keeping this forest burning will be more difficult than I thought.There were still dead bodies lying on the ground, exuding an unpleasant burning smell. Just walking here made all the smells stick to me, making me smell even worse.

"The lake has completely calmed down...but the silence that lasted for thousands of years has been broken, and it is no longer a holy place to stroll."

"Woooo~" the unicorn yelled, slowing down and carefully stepping over the corpse to the lake.

Only a huge wooden stake remained of the fallen sacred tree, which was uneven, like saw teeth that had been pulled out.

It was Salamander who was able to destroy this tree, but in the end it just became Beyer's power and dissipated again in the torrent of Mana... The elves are immortal, but when they return to this land again How many years?Maybe it will appear in a cave in Garnet next time.

"The lighting is too bad..." Normally there would be fireflies, and the calm and transparent lake surface could completely reflect the moonlight.

But now there is no sign of any animals due to the commotion during the day, and the water surface has become a little turbid due to the dust and mud stirred up from the bottom of the lake.

"Really?" Noelle's gentle tone made me realize that I had said the wrong thing.

"Ah, sorry..." After all, he couldn't see anything anymore.With or without light, he could not even look at the sunlit world again.

"You don't need to apologize, what do we do next?"

After Xiaowu stopped, we didn't understand. After all, this was all we saw in front of us.

Dead bodies, broken trees, the smell of burning... and the two of us are just one beast.

The one who brought us here is a unicorn, but I don't know unicorn language. Even if it can understand me, we won't be able to communicate smoothly.What is its purpose?Did the goddess' protection that Bayer mentioned during the day really mean it?

I hesitated for a while and jumped off the horse, while also helping Noelle get off.

The unicorn said nothing and began to chirp continuously.

"Woooo! Woohoo!"

The sounds came and went, echoing in the center of the forest, and it kept howling without stopping.
