Chris's Faith of Fire

"Arkad, I only come to hand over the captives out of admiration for your courage."

Return it?This word was said so simply, as if no consideration was given to what conditions were required.

"Duke Sajavir, I have made you suffer." The young man said to him.

"do you know me?"

"Of course, you are a warrior famous as the war hero of Mount Phia..."

"As a defeated general, I am really ashamed..."

Alexia didn't say anything, but just nodded to indicate that he could go. After that, Lauren left immediately and headed to Lian's side.

"Arkad, no matter how brave you are, soon I will overrun this place."

"And I will stop you, Alexia."

"If you surrender now, I can consider killing only warriors and men with fighting ability. You are immortal anyway... just escape from my sight."

She had made her victory a sure thing.

"And if I refuse."

"Humph, I will be very happy, because finally there is someone who dares to fight me head-on... The people of Gilkern are cowardly and despicable. Except for Feashan, I have never encountered any warriors who can resist. With such respect, I hand him back to you." She brushed her long hair that fell down on her face. Her slender figure was also a beautiful scenery on this almost desert plain. She was full of confidence because she The words powerful and beautiful will be imprinted on the minds of all human beings.

"I'll wait for you for a day..." the Dragon Queen said, "take good care of him and evacuate the orcs who are ambushing aside, otherwise I will kill them all in a moment. If you want to win this war If you win, come here tomorrow evening and challenge me. If you kill me, you can change the situation of the battle."

After saying that, the Dragon Queen left without looking back, leaving Lian with only her beautiful back.

Lian felt a headache, and the surprise attack was completely seen through... The other party even asked for a duel.

Will the fate with her come to an end here?

That's something we won't know until tomorrow.

Volume [-] The legend that is no longer distant END

Chapter 360 355. Nocturne——1

The sky is dark, as if the end has come...

The sound of metal colliding with each other from time to time made them tremble. Although Lian knew very well that Alexia would not break her promise, he still wanted the thieves under Akagi to monitor everything on the city wall. As long as there was a little movement from the earth dragons and flying dragons, They will immediately cast the flame scrolls left in the fortifications as a signal to defend.The dragons were licking their lips and sharp teeth, ready to move. Alexia stood at the front, sinking her sword and spear deeply into the ground and waiting for her opponent to arrive.

A torrent of brown leather armor and wheat-colored skin passed through Alexia's sight. The Dragon Queen closed her eyes after taking a look.All the lizards and dragons were watching them as they walked into the city. The soldiers on the city wall were uneasy. Lian said that these guys would never come before tomorrow evening.But they weren't sure, and they didn't understand why the commander was so sure.

Zelodia and Fermina met at the city gate, and they entered the city of Anatolia riding the horses of the desert warriors.

Although there are beast warriors on both sides, Fermina's warriors always stare at Zelodia. They have already sworn in front of Her Majesty Chris to be loyal to her and the brave forever, and this one who is called the Beast King A woman is just a guy who murdered his sisters and brothers and used a brave man to become king. It doesn't matter whether she is a dragon slayer or an incarnation of an elf, it is difficult to be fond of her.

Knight Commander Tyler Obadiah followed Zelodia at a horse's head distance. He seemed to have a lot to say.But the face of the mistress was definitely not pretty. She bit her lip, and her anger seemed to turn into the wind, blowing her long green hair. Today she put on armor and replaced her longbow with the hardest new string. , as a result, when it was almost night and no attack order was issued, all the soldiers became anxious. In the end, all they waited for was an order to withdraw... He ran away with his tail between his legs in front of these lizards.

At noon, Lian brought Duke Sajavir back to the city. Originally, everyone was determined to die, but for some reason, they will not fight now, and the city of Anatolia has fallen into a whirlpool of suspicion. .And the return of Zelodia and Firmina made them talk a lot.

"What's wrong, is this?" the old man asked the soldier on the roadside, but was pushed back.The young man caught him and said, "I'm afraid it's not the true citizen of Nefera who will surrender and offer the city."

"How could it be? We have obviously made so many preparations... almost everyone is ready to join the battle."

"I was scared out of my wits when I saw the Four Heavenly Kings, the god of impostors..." The young man said angrily and then received a glare from Taylor, and then he shut up angrily.

The Asha Castle that backs the mountain is still so majestic and impeccably built. The servants in the castle believe that even if the Dragon Queen attacks, it will take a certain amount of time. After all, the other Four Heavenly Kings have already tried and failed. Compared with the people on the street, they are more concerned There is much more trust among the true people of Lian and Nefera.But he himself looked sad and didn't know what to do.

For Lian, he was at a loss and asked why he was involved in the war. He had power, but he was not the strongest in the world. He was not even ranked in the four figures. Even after absorbing Zelothia's Blood can't change this power difference... He knew that he had no chance of winning in a duel. Although he was a true citizen of Nefera and could survive, when he was resurrected the next day, only the ghosts and ruins would be left in the city. So definitely can't die.

The other two people in the room said nothing. The conversation with them had been repeated to the point that they did not want to repeat it again. Duke Loren Sajavir had many stories to tell, but now is not the time to tell stories. If they are not helpful to the battle, He didn't want to hear a word.Lian tried over and over again to contact the real people of Nefera through communication, hoping that his compatriots on Earth who were still alive would come to help him, but this stopped working 300 years ago.

Facing the map, he supported it with both hands and looked helpless.This war room was renovated from a restaurant. It was originally destroyed due to Lilim's changes, and it is still a little unrepaired. Lian recalled the tower defense games she played in the past. One wave was flat and another wave was rising again. This can be said to be the current situation. A true portrayal, Alexia is by no means an opponent that can be easily dealt with like Lilim.

The footsteps echoed in the corridor, sounding very urgent... There was one person who wanted to see him very much, and the others followed the person's pace. Lian straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and opened the meeting. room door.

In front of her was Queen Zelothia, whose face had changed, followed by Knight Commander Taylor and Firmina. They were all fully armed and had gloomy faces. If Lian didn't know that she wouldn't die, she would even doubt them. There is an intention to assassinate.

Zelodia walked at the front. She glanced at Duke Shahavier in the room, and then threw her steel bow on the table.

"What on earth are you thinking about? We should end the battle today!" The beast queen's low roar suddenly changed the usual breath of spring wind into the eve of a storm.

"She discovered your ambush and took Sir Laurent as a hostage... She is here to return him today..."

"Ignorance!" Zelodia shouted before Lian could finish speaking. At this moment, everyone seemed to remember that her true identity was the Beast King. The "dragon slayer" and "incarnation of elves" she mentioned in her self-proclaimed title were all What is said is true.Zelotia still didn't intend to stop. The moon rose and illuminated the room. The gemstone earrings on her ears kept shaking under the candlelight. "She defeated the morale of our entire army with just one person! Return to the city. Along the way, people looked at us like liars, just because of your recklessness!"

"Then what else can I do..." The beautiful young man's voice was very helpless, and the candlelight in front of him became unstable as several people quarreled.

"You should have launched an attack directly at that time! Even if you know that we are ambushing, it does not mean that you are able to deal with it. Facing a strong enemy, you can only have a chance of survival. However, if you let us return to the city now, we will no longer have the chance to attack. I can only watch you lose in a single challenge and then be tortured to death by her one by one!"

Lian gritted his teeth. His gray hair blocked his view and he did not move his hair. He was like a child in front of Zelothia. What she said was absolutely right.I was shocked by Alexia. She was very strong, but she was not invulnerable. The gods still defeated her and her dragon army 300 years ago.Although it is not as good as it was then, Zelodia is still with us, so we should believe that she is... I am too afraid of Alexia. If everyone comes together, there may be a chance of survival. I sucked Zelodi After receiving Ya's blood, his strength has improved a lot, and he may not necessarily lose if he is in a melee.

If there are too many... no matter how powerful the real people are, they will not be able to reverse time.

He lost his last chance. Alexia had a clear mind and only used Duke Sajavir to make him confused about what to say at the time. Now everything is lost.One-on-one battles are something that must be avoided... because there is no warrior on this land who can defeat the Dragon Queen alone except for brave men.

"I won't go out of the city to fight alone..."

"Do you think this is wise? They have dragons... countless dragons, flying in the sky and running on the ground. They can't last for half a day! Even if you are a true citizen of Nefera, it can only extend the time a little. What's more, now that morale has been greatly reduced, the swords of my soldiers have become dull!" She continued to shout loudly, not only with anger, but also with disappointment...Zelothea risked everything In her own case, everything seems to be lost now.

No one else spoke much, they didn't know what to say, half the war was lost before it even started.

Just as she said, Alexia defeated us with just one person...

Chapter 361 356. Nocturne——2

After she lost her temper, she even forgot to take away her steel bow... Captain Taylor took the long bow and bowed to Lian before leaving.Fermina seemed to want to say something, but in the end she hesitated for a long time and still didn't say anything. She also bowed and left the room.

It seems that Duke Shahavier's physical strength has not yet recovered. According to rumors, he is a handsome man who looks to be in his 30s, but now he feels twice as old. Ikaji crosses his legs as if he is not affected by anyone.

"What should we do now, Lord Kami?" Although the sarcasm in his tone made both of them unhappy, Kelian didn't know what to do. "Our soldiers are still guarding the city wall. We must Did they defend overnight?”

"There's no need, Alexia... won't break her promise." Duke Sajavir said slowly, his voice was like an old goat, Chijiu looked at him with contempt, and spread his hands helplessly. Just left the room.

Only Lian and Duke Sajavir were left here. They seemed to have something to talk about, but they didn't know where to start.He has been kept in a cage by the Dragon Queen and witnessed all the destruction and destruction. The Dragon Queen is undoubtedly a real warrior. Some people think that her integrity may be the weakness of this demon general, but Lian feels that this is the scary thing about her. .If she hadn't challenged him to a duel, he wouldn't be passive now.

"I also have to go back to the city wall." Lian stood up straight.

"You don't want to go today," the Duke said. "There are already too many people looking at those monsters. You just have one more pair of eyes. The dark night cannot boost people's morale. It can't be done at all. If they see a trace of fear in the leader's eyes, they will not be able to see anything tomorrow." The Dragon Queen's first wave of attacks couldn't be blocked. I've seen too many nobles be attacked by those lizards and lost the moment they put down their swords."

He seemed to have read through Lian's mind. Lian didn't want to fight, because there were too many uncertainties and too complicated.As he said, if the last bit of hope is shattered, everyone will become the dead souls of the lizard people.

The beautiful young man nodded, "As long as we block those earth dragons and flying dragons, we still have hope."

The Duke smiled slightly and said, "Have you made arrangements?"

Lian rubbed her fingers and made a clicking sound, "It would be better to say that I put all my energy on this. I gathered all the enchanters in the city, and I copied the magic scrolls I collected for them. This way Even ordinary people can use the abilities of high-level wizards. The most important thing to deal with flying dragons is magic and bows. With Zelothia here, our pressure will be reduced."

And I can be useful, Lian thought.He cannot face off against Alexia, but in terms of strength, he will not lose to any demon except her. They say that the siege team must invest three times the power of the defenders. Strengthening his own side will It means the other party has to pay more.

"In this case, I will not interfere with you anymore. We are too careless on Mount Feia... The Queen of the Beast Tribe feels that this has hurt everyone's morale. I don't think so. We should be a little afraid when dealing with such terrifying opponents. Always be afraid in advance. It is much better than to be afraid the moment before being killed.”

Lian nodded. Laurent had already said a lot in the afternoon. The lords of Mount Feas Fortress gathered their elite soldiers. They were arrogant and wanted to come out on top. They framed each other and competed for the top position before the war came. Configuration.Unexpectedly, his enemies were so invincible. The unprotected wizards were torn to pieces by the flying dragons in an instant, and the city walls that they thought were indestructible were knocked to pieces by the earth dragons.

"I'm going back to rest, Lord Shahavier."

"I wish you a sweet dream."

Duke Asha went to Xidelinle to find the king's help. He didn't know whether the other party would help. It was probably not optimistic, otherwise he would have helped from the beginning.The sweet sound of his boots echoed in the corridors of the castle. The servants coming and going saluted their savior. Halfway through, he saw Firmina leaning against the wall of the castle, stroking her dagger. She smiled when Lian arrived.

The two of them went to the lord's large room together for some unknown reason. There was a big bed here that could accommodate three people. Naturally, they were not looking for fun. The view from the terrace here was much better than elsewhere.The city was lit with fire all night long, which was a sleepless night not only for me, but for everyone.Probably because he had sucked blood, he hadn't felt sleepy for a long time. Thinking of this, Lian felt a little regretful. He also had a way to gain strength by sucking a lot of blood. If he kept sucking blood, he could become stronger than anyone else... ... Later he realized again that there are no ifs in this world, otherwise he would not have let this happen.

Firmina moved a chair, took some sweet grapes and wine and placed them on the white round table on the terrace.

What happened in the conference room just now was very embarrassing. Zelodia's mood is understandable. She represents the fate of the entire orc tribe. Since she was involved in this war, she is destined to have no way back. She must want to lead everyone personally. .Maybe we can get a chance to survive with the hunting and combat experience of the beast tribe. After hearing the name of the true people of Nefera, she agreed to let Lian take charge of the overall situation, but I let her down.

Seeing Lian's face, Fermina already knew what he was worried about. The orc girl hoped to hide her ears, claws and tail. If this could make the vampire feel at ease, he frowned, and Fermina giggled. After making a sound, Fermina held the vampire's hand when Lian looked at her in surprise. The temperature was slightly higher than human body temperature.

"Are you scared?" she asked.

Lian was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course, it's the first time since I was born that I'm so scared..."

"Three hundred years ago, you and the real people once stood on a united front. What about that time?"

"We believed too much in our own power, and didn't even regard it as a war. We each showed our magical powers, thinking that we were the strongest beings, and slaughtered the Demon King's army. We didn't even realize that our opponent was there until the brave man disappeared from our eyes. horrible."

"The true people of Nefera can rely on each other. They know that they will not die, so they don't know to be afraid." Fermina picked a grape with her free right hand, and her moist lips touched the dark purple peel. The pulp is usually removed by magic. "And we can only rely on you now, everyone in this city thinks so."

"Ignorance and fearlessness, but most people can only learn what courage is when they know how to be afraid." Lian recalled that things at that time were still like a dream, and she still has no sense of reality that she has become such a beautiful man.

"Sir...compared to people who don't know how to be afraid, people who know make me feel more at ease."

"Is that right?"

Fermina didn't respond directly, she just picked another grape, peeled off the skin with one hand and put it into Lian's mouth.

The vampire's face turned a little red, but he finally ate it.

Chapter 362 357. Nocturne——3

The city canals within sight are illuminated by fire, and the twin moons at night sparkle and shine on them.

Fermina no longer talks about the war. They feel that they have said everything they need to say tonight, and they should continue to hold on. No matter how low morale is, this has become a consensus.Zelodia is still angry, and Ren feels the need to apologize for his error in judgment, even though this is his first time commanding a war.If it weren't for a life and death situation, no one would blame him. If he were to blame, he could only blame Lian as a true citizen of Nefera. The title itself gave people too much expectations.

"Heroes in fairy tales are often handsome princes, just like you." Firmina said, "They have handsome faces, are gentle and considerate, fight like the best swordsmen in the world, and play the piano. Put the bards of the inn to shame.”

"The biggest difference between boys and girls is that boys no longer believe in such stories when they grow up." Lian looked at a corner of the room with his peripheral vision, and with the deflection of the moonlight, he saw a lyre placed there.Bright brown oak is used as the piano case. Generally speaking, lyres are made of separate wooden strips. The craftsmanship of using a whole piece of walnut wood is very particular, and catgut is used as the strings. I don’t know about Yasha. Can he play it? But he is extremely luxurious even in such small things.

Firmina noticed Lian's gaze, she smiled and said, "Can it be that our Prince can also play the piano?"

"If I remember correctly I will."

"Remember correctly? That's probably not the case." The orc girl smiled sweetly, but this seemed to challenge the "prince's" self-esteem. I don't know why he couldn't compromise on this point.Lian still remembered that when he was still playing a game called Sky of Gods, he also picked up the lyre and played the theme song of the game in front of everyone. At that moment, he felt an indescribable emotion overflowing from him.

So Firmina's words made him stand up and touch the lyre. He touched it carefully, for fear of accidentally breaking it.

Walnut wood exudes a fresh aroma and feels pleasant to the touch.If I remember correctly, Ren is also an excellent bard, and in order to match Arkad's image, this ability was already fully trained when he got it.

Just by touching the piano body, he felt like he had found a brother who had been lost for many years.

And the moment his fingers touched the strings, he was sure that he could do it.His hand moved involuntarily, but at the same time it felt extremely familiar, as if he had found his true self. At that moment, Lian forgot his identity as a human being on Earth and was intoxicated by the sound of his own piano.

"Are you really going to..." Firmina was stunned, her cheeks flushed. The handsome man in front of her was sitting on the terrace and was not afraid of falling. After all, his cloak could be turned into wings at any time.Lian's left leg supported the piano case, and her right leg supported her body. She closed her eyes slightly and touched the strings, then stopped.

"Why don't you continue, Master Lian..." She seemed to be pleading, "Keep playing, continue with the melody just now, I haven't heard enough."

It would not be surprising if there is a charming magic in the sound of the piano.

"Is that crude playing method enough?" He seemed to be deliberately trying to arouse the curiosity of the orc girl, placing his fingers on the string of catgut but not plucking it.The beautiful melody just now was just a scale exercise for Ren.

Looking at the night, there was a piece of music he wanted to play more. No... I should say it was a song.

The moment he plucked the strings, a clear, pure, spacious and simple sound echoed in the room. This was the prelude to a melancholy nocturne. Lian felt that this sound alone was not enough. He stretched out his hand and silently recited a few words of devilish words. , don’t let this sound break the beautiful rhythm.Then a woman-like creature appeared in front of them, exuding crystal light.Although no sexual characteristics could be seen in the naked body, Fermina breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that they were fairies. They are cute demons who love to play pranks...with extremely weak attack capabilities.

But their voices are like the sounds of nature, and when they sing, they change their usual image of pranksters, and their light bodies make people feel extremely poignant.

Lian closed her eyes and realized that music does not require eyes to see it.He wanted to play a song about pure love, and for some reason he was like, I'm Lian Alkader.He hinted that the inspiration for this song came from love, the purest, beautiful, and sad love. Even if it does not exist in reality, it at least always exists in his heart.

He didn't want to say a word, just held the lyre and played silently. Music replaced words and expressed his emotions.

Even the emotion of this whole night... It's a melancholy nocturne.

The little fairy noticed Lian's intention, and started to sing along with the sound of the piano, vibrating the transparent wings behind her like a dancer.

Not wanting to lose to Lian's playing, the half-elf's singing also matched the melodious sound of the piano, and Fermina seemed to have fallen into a dream that was difficult to wake up from.

Even if I wake up eventually, I just want to indulge in it before heading towards dawn.

◆ ◇

A ripple fell in the black and white world

Swaying ripples, echoes echo from the blue heart

The falling can't be condensed into words, it can't be suppressed and it lives in the bottom of my heart

Why are you still searching so hard? It’s obviously already there.

The fingertips gently outline the reality in the long-lasting legend, reborn in the bright red eyes.

Looking up at the clouds and climbing the tower, the fine sand on the soles of my feet brushes my hair, I am no longer afraid of touching it and fly towards this reality~

Step into it to color the world, and the petals will fly to embellish the miracle of encounter.

The rainbow light of the morning shines on the blue that is about to be stepped on ahead

Crossing the deep sea and staring into the darkness of the abyss, I bear it all with my body
