Chris's Faith of Fire

"They say that the Dragon Queen of the North is heading to Anatolia." The owner of the clothing store is holding the clothes I just changed into. It is a white skirt. You can dress it up like a flower girl on the street. That type of style, although it is also fun, is not suitable for me now.

"Then... did anyone say anything about the situation in the north? Is there a fight now? I have a relative there, which makes me very uneasy." I said this, but I looked like I was trying on clothes with peace of mind. It would make anyone think that this girl is worried about her relatives, but I am trying on clothes, and trying on clothes means that I can buy it or not.It can be seen from the look on the female shopkeeper's face that she doesn't want to discuss this topic but can't refuse.

"I don't know the details, Miss... because this news came two weeks ago. There should be a lot of information at the mercenary station."

"I don't want to go to the mercenary station." I immediately picked up the topic again, with a look of disgust on my face, "It's dirty, smelly, and they are all rude and ignorant hooligans." I said casually. That's all, I didn't think about it that way.

Looking back at the shop owner's reaction, she was a little overwhelmed, but she had to answer the customer in front of her, so she pushed up her glasses.

"Yes, that's true... I can't stand those people either."

I don’t seem to agree. This person reminds me of Miss Angela, but the only thing they have in common is that they are the owners of women’s clothing stores. Before Angela betrayed me, she could always play the role of a humorous and gentle big sister. This also makes people want to buy her clothes.

"This outfit is nice." I put my hands on my waist and looked at my body that had grown slightly after losing the power of the elf. It was beige lining with red edges, wearing a dark brown jacket and what looked like hot pants. I generally care about shorts that are easy to move around. The socks are also made of excellent anti-knife materials and are all black to protect my thighs. "I like red." I pointed to the edge of the lining, "but I don't like too much. Red represents flame. The flame only needs a little bit before it really ignites. It's best not to be noticed by anyone."

"Oh... is this, what kind of riddle?" The way his big eyes stared at his small eyes made people speechless. I laughed and asked Haka to take out his wallet and pay the bill.The moment the female shopkeeper got the money, she completely forgot about the "riddle" and sent us off with a smile.

"How much money do we still have, Haka." Walking on the street, I asked the guard behind me. He just touched his back and said, "There are more than 5000, Your Majesty." Just by doing this, he knew how much money was left. It seems that the elite warriors of the Orcs are not only good at weapon fighting and hunting, but are also very talented in mathematics.

"You want to call me eldest lady outside... Now I only have this little money left."

"I'm very sorry, Miss... But we also took away some gems and Mana products in the fairy land. If we sell them, we can probably get a lot of money." I didn't take what he said into consideration, but now the Demon King's army It is a threat to the entire world. The nobles are accumulating supplies and want to escape to the end of the world with their wives and children. Ordinary people do not have the ability to purchase. In this case, gems and mana products will be regarded as the first to be pawned. The price of things should have dropped a lot.

"Don't think about it now. If we have enough time, we should go to the empire. The market there is more developed and people haven't felt too much pressure yet. But a week ago Alexia asked Anatolia If we march, the two sides will probably start fighting by now, and I'm very worried about them." But there is no real-time communication in this world, and it takes at least two weeks for information to be transmitted across the sea. Whether it is a shopkeeper or a street vendor, what they hear Everything pointed to the mercenary station.

"Haka, the place where I feel uneasy right now is the mercenary station, but that's where I want to go the most..."

"Why is this, Miss." Haka asked me doubtfully.

I raised two fingers and looked at him, "Because everything has two sides. When I gain something, I will also lose something. They can give information and get information from you. Those mercenaries, even from I can detect some clues in a coin and report it to its owner, which I feel is risky."

"So, aren't you going?" His question also gave me a headache.

"With such important information, it's impossible not to go... There may be big problems if you go. I'm weighing the benefits and losses."

"Then let someone else go?"

This is also a method, but now I want to know about Firmina and the others' situation more than anyone else. If something goes wrong, I must make a decision as quickly as possible. In addition to this, there is another reason.

"There are no faces among us that Patricia has not seen before, except for the group of sword slaves hired by the empire, but they are not trustworthy." I paused, "Forget it, I'll go in person."

When I passed the next intersection and turned the corner, my hand touched the silver hair and turned it into brown. This is the most inconspicuous hair color I can think of.The last time I came here, I met Alves and the others. It was in a tavern in the south of the city. I was very drunk. If the other party was not Alves, it would be very easy to encounter a dangerous situation.However, the mercenary station is not far from the tavern. The streets of the Holy City are cleanly cleaned, and the white stone roads make people feel refreshing and comfortable. However, there are a group of people walking with crisp footsteps, and their armor is shining in the sun. Shining with silver light, the long-handled weapon was tightly grasped in the palm of his hand, and there was a long sword on his waist.The Templars who often patrolled the streets made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"There are not as many mercenaries here as in other places. The knights seem to look down on mercenaries. Put your hood on, Haka."

He nodded and did as I said. The combination of girls and strong mercenaries is not very common, but it is not very eye-catching. I have tried my best not to provoke them. If I still dare to be aggressive, I will have to They were lured into an alley and dealt with.

Fortunately, there seems to be no such idiot. When the bell of the city's big clock tower rang 7 times, we saw the sign of the mercenary station, the seventh holy moment. There are still two holy moments before dusk. We may need to move a little faster. , In this way, maybe Ma Kai will come back from the brothel sooner, and Alves may bring Jimena with him sooner.On the other hand, I became the most procrastinating one.

"Haka, don't conflict with anyone here, even if they insult me ​​in front of you."

He hesitated for a moment, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chapter 381 376. Sail with the Wind——6

The Holy Capital deserves to be called the Holy Capital. Even the mercenary station was painted with white paint. My reflection was reflected on the polished and translucent floor. When I was looking outside just now, I remembered that I could still see a small building on the roof. Goddess sculpture, no wonder the clothing store proprietress also looked embarrassed when she heard the words dirty and rude.Looking around the interior of the mercenary station, there are three floors. The bottom floor is a good tavern like other places. There are about twenty or thirty tables, all of which have been carefully polished. There are no wooden thorns like those in the tavern. The points are very good.

The maid from the association quickly followed Haka after seeing me and Haka come in and find a table to sit down at. Her clothes were not maid uniforms but priest robes, which made me have to be more vigilant. "Hello, miss, do you need any help?"

I handed over my mercenary metal tag, which still had the pseudonym "Chris" I used before. "I sent a letter to the north before. Have you received a reply now?" The waitress took my name tag and returned. At the counter, I searched for a while and then gave me three copies of the letters. Of course, they were still well sealed with wax. Firmina may have sent them to several places, so I should have looked for them earlier.

"Thank you, please give us a glass of mead each." I handed her a silver coin, and the waitress nodded and thanked her, then turned and left.

Most of the people in the tavern were priests and knights. There were very few wizards, and there were also fewer people dressed in light clothes. They were taciturn, and it was impossible to tell that they were mercenaries... As expected, let's read Firmina's reply first. From the comments of these people It seems like I can't find anything useful.

After a while, the waitress brought the wine and we opened the letter. Haka was still faithfully guarding me, regardless of the content of the letter.

Only then did I look at the letters. There were three of them. This also meant that she had a lot of things that she wanted to tell me urgently. Due to practical reasons, there were probably many things that happened in the middle that were too late to report. What happened during the month I was delayed in Irene? what happened.

"His Majesty

When we received your letter, we had already found supplies and a trustworthy ally. He said that he also knew you. Mr. Lian must have an impression on you.

We are currently in the village south of Anatolia City. Although it is not so urgent now, there must still be great hidden dangers. Recently, for some reason, it is not easy for people to enter the city. Could it be that they are wary of us?We look forward to your triumphant return with the brave men. Please don’t worry about time. We will do our best to resist you no matter what.

May the goddess bless you.

"Fermina"

This one seemed to be from two months ago, that is, a week after I sent her a letter in the empire, and then I opened the second and third letters.

"His Majesty

Seeing that you haven't replied, you must have arrived at Erin Island now. In this case, we have hope, something has happened.

The lords of Anatolia are very resistant to us for some reason and now that the food is almost exhausted, we must find a way to obtain the assistance of Duke Asha and look forward to your return.

"Fermina"

This letter is much more sloppy than the last one. Something happened?It would be troublesome if there was any conflict between Duke Asha and them. Indeed, ordinary human cities would not accommodate a large number of orcs, let alone a group of people with weapons.

I hurriedly opened the third letter. This time, the handwriting was neat. Unlike before, it was well-written and the content was much longer.

"His Majesty

I'm sorry, what happened before probably made you panic. I don't know where you are now.But a lot has happened recently.

First of all, the city of Anatolia was occupied by Lilim, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. I didn’t believe it at first and didn’t want to believe it. Master Kelian confirmed this. At that time, the dark miasma emanating from the entire city hoped that You also meet, but don’t worry, the matter has been successfully resolved. Lord Lian personally eliminated the Four Heavenly Kings Lilim, and also rescued Lord Asha and the people in the city.

Lord Ren is a very strategically thinking person. He asked me to contact Zelotia and get her help so that we can defeat the cunning female demon. Thanks to this, now we all live in the city, with food supplies and troops. Their residences have already been settled.But the crisis has not been resolved yet, and we now have to face the more powerful Four Heavenly Kings Alexia, who will probably arrive in the city within this week.

Ren-sama, he was well prepared, Zelodia and I were also ready, and every citizen used all their strength.

Your Majesty, although we don’t know when you will be able to come back, we will definitely be waiting for your triumphant return with victory.

May the goddess and spirits bless you

"Fermina"

After reading the letter, I subconsciously stretched out my finger, and then realized that I could no longer use fire magic, so I handed the letter to Haka. "Look, we have been away for such a long time, and they are still fighting. Maybe they are fighting Alexia now. I am very uneasy."

He spent some time reading it. Hakkar's common language was already very good among the orcs, and it was still getting better, but it was still far behind people like Fermina who had been living with humans. , the time it took me to read three letters made me finish a glass of wine. The mead was sweet and ice-cold, which made people feel relaxed. When Haka finished reading these letters, he looked uneasy.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the situation is not optimistic." Not optimistic?It may be more serious.

If it is true as Firmina said, it would be difficult for Lian to resist alone. I saw Lian’s skills when we were in Rosa Town... Even though he is powerful, he will lose to the elite demon, Alexia. He is the most troublesome one in the Demon King's army, and must be even more difficult to deal with.

And now, "Now Alexia has threatened our army." I turned my head and looked at the Orcs.

"She will capture Xidelin soon, and then march towards the southern continent..." Haka predicted.

I shook my head at his point of view, "No, she will not attack Xidelinle herself."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because there is no need. After the battle on Mount Feas, Gilkern's main team has disappeared like smoke. They will no longer have a strong resistance. If I were Alexia, I would focus on Zelotti. On Ya."

"Beast King Zelodia...I am loyal to you, Your Majesty!" He emphasized this sentence immediately after mentioning the word Beast King. Of course I understand his loyalty.

"Zelodia's purpose does not seem to be to defeat the Demon King. If she unites with the Dragon Queen, the consequences will be disastrous. Neferait and the Empire will never be able to defend it."

"Haka, we have to get out of here right away."

"Understood! Your Majesty."

Chapter 382 377. Sail with the Wind——7

I originally wanted to ask if I could send a letter back, but if we have already entered a war, it must be nonsense. No one is willing to go to the battlefield and die.

We stood up from our seats. The mercenaries around us were still the same as before, drinking wine from their glasses and looking at the power of attorney without saying a word. Most of the mercenaries in the mercenary stations in the countryside did not know how to read, so They often ask waitresses to read it, and sometimes they get into fights because of teasing others or asking several people together.But there is not even the slightest bit of such an atmosphere here...even the noise is very small. They are so civilized that you would think that you have entered a library instead of a mercenary station.

"Let's go, it's a little earlier than expected. We'd better find Alves and Makai first."

Haka picked up the scimitar on the table and put it back to his waist. No one paid attention to us when we walked out of the mercenary house. It was really strange... Are all the people here so cold?But now we don’t have time to care about so many things. Ma Kai is most likely to appear in a brothel, but there is no such place here. I don’t know where he will go to lure ignorant girls.What a headache. Let’s go find Alves first.

We turned the corner and looked for the clinic. The city was as beautiful as before, all painted white, and a natural sanctity filled my vision.I tried not to go to the center of the city, which was too close to the cathedral, and Patricia Yule was so elusive that she had spotted me on the pier last time.I remember that Bishop Patricia seemed to have the ability to feel some kind of sacred breath?Fortunately I didn't take Noelle off the boat.

"Haka, I don't think they will go to the center or the east." I asked for his opinion, and Haka nodded immediately, "Of course, how dare they violate Her Majesty the Queen's will."

"You've already told me to call me eldest lady outside. Also, it's hard to say, especially Ma Kai. I should trust him... but there's always a sense of uneasiness." This person unexpectedly gave me a sense of There is a sense of security, but he is too unrestrained, so he might cause some trouble.

Speaking of this, Haka chewed his teeth and seemed very dissatisfied. His thick eyebrows were furrowed... The hood on his head was also shocked by the beating wolf ears. "That person has no sense of her loyalty to Her Majesty! One day I have to fight him to make him absolutely loyal to Her Majesty the Queen!"

He is always extremely serious when the word loyalty is mentioned. Haka never cherishes his own life. What kind of ideal does he stay loyal to me for?If it was just his belief in the goddess that he should treat Noelle like this instead of me. I once thought it was because of my identity as an elf host... But now that I am no longer an elf host, Eliog's heart has become shattered and scattered. In the underground library of the Black Night Clan village, I only left an empty base. So what are you loyal to?There must be some conditions. He opened his lips slightly, "Haka..."

"What's the matter, miss?" Seeing that he was honest and honest, but also had a capable look that only a warrior can have, I closed my mouth.

"No, nothing, compared to this..." We have reached the small alley, and the two surrounding buildings form a dead end.I turned back and looked at the three people who were following me, a knight, a man dressed as a priest in full robes, and a thief.

"What's wrong, brothers? I think I don't owe you any money, or do you want my wallet?" I smiled and put my hands behind my back, pretending to be a harmless little girl, but Both hands were on the dagger behind his back.

"Who are you!" Haka didn't care about wallets or anything like that. When the sharp scimitar was pulled out of its sheath, there was a crisp metallic glide sound. Seeing this, the three mercenaries also tightened their grips on their sword hilts and took away the weapons. Come out, oh, one of them is a battle wizard.They didn't answer Haka, they just nodded to each other and rushed forward. The fastest one was the leather-armored warrior dressed as a thief. He ran close to the wall and his speed was so fast that it was scary. However, Haka was not able to do anything at all. Not afraid, he held the hilt of his sword tightly, but when he missed his body, the scimitar flashed, and the man twitched and fell to the ground and stopped moving.

An obvious opening was made in his abdomen, and the blood was not obvious under the cover of black clothes. It was not until it trickled out that the two men understood that their companion had been killed in an instant.I don’t want to kill anyone, but their skills don’t look inferior. If I tell Haka to let go, it will put Haka in danger. The remaining two people were taken aback, but they had no intention of running away. Haka was protecting them. I stood in front of me and to the left, where their weapons were within the blocking range of Hakkar.The battle wizard suddenly raised his staff, and I saw the fireball condensing in his hand. When Haka wanted to rush up to kill him, the knight came up with a shield. Although Haka was faster and more agile, he was difficult to fight compared to his strength. The knight resisted, and then the fireball flew over. The knight immediately dodged to the left as if he had cooperated well. Haka was unable to dodge and was hit by the fireball and flew behind.

"Are you OK!"

"Hmm...Run away, young lady."

I broke out in a cold sweat. I thought he could easily deal with these three people. Am I thinking too much or am I making things too difficult for him?

I have lost the power of the Flame Elf and am just an ordinary person. I cannot use that kind of extraordinary power... Seeing another fireball appear on the battle wizard's long staff, I stood up.

"Wait, what do you want, don't hurt him... You are here to find me."

"..." The wizard's fireball did not disappear, and the knights also stepped forward. Why were they still so vigilant when it was clear that Haka had lost his combat effectiveness?Something is wrong. Do they really want to kill him?

The next moment, the fireball flew out. Realizing that I could no longer sit still and wait for death, I immediately jumped up. Although the power of fire was gone, the illusion and thieving talents trained by Akari were still there. I tried my best to step on the wall and fight the wizard. It seemed that this was not expected at all.In panic, his fireball lost its accuracy and flew into the sky. Seizing this flaw, I immediately pushed my dagger into the wizard's gut. He looked at his abdomen in disbelief, and then slowly fell down. The knight was When Haka stared at me in surprise, he had already stood up, rushed over and killed him by slitting his throat.

After the battle was over, I let out a breath.

"Fortunately you are here, are you okay? Get treatment quickly..."

"No, it's okay, Your Majesty..." He showed his arm. There was only a small burn there. It seemed that he had avoided the fireball and was only knocked down by the impact.

"move……"

"His Majesty!"

I turned around when I heard his shout and found that the intersection was blocked.

Oops, is this really the end?

Just when I was thinking this, the two people in front fell down, and several familiar figures appeared in front of me.

"Makai! Alves! Where is Jimena?"

"Don't worry, she's back on the ship. The doctor gave her some medicine. It's just that she lacked Mana supplements and caused a lack of energy and blood." Alves replied, and the blood on his Phantom God's Blade spilled onto the wall with a shudder. superior.

"Now is not the time to talk about such things, Alves." Ma Kai smiled and put away his sword, "These people are under the instructions of the church."

I looked at the soldiers lying on the ground. Their long swords were all made of silver... "Why would Bishop Patricia want my life? By the way, Ma Kai, were you investigating these things this afternoon?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, no one said it was Bishop Patricia. You know... there are four cardinals."

In other words, the remaining three people have murderous intentions towards us?Is it just to gain Noelle’s power as a hero?It's just too dangerous.

"We must get out of here immediately."

They all nodded.

I don’t want to fight humans before contacting the Demon King. However, there will definitely be someone who can handle the church’s affairs.

It's just that person, not me.

With this thought in mind, I immediately fled back to the West Wind Maid. Everyone quickly set sail... heading towards the city of Anatolia.

Chapter 383 378.Swordbreaker——1

It was night, and the city's guards still refused to let down their guard, so he had to be extra careful.

As a knight, he took off his armor and cotton clothes, and didn't even wear a piece of leather armor. Maybe it was the smell or the sound that attracted those orc soldiers. He held a strange blade tightly in his hand, and He put the three arrows into the bag behind him and a one-handed sword on the other side.

Tyler Obadiah, the leader of the Dark Blue Knights, is currently crawling on the ground of the castle. He can hear the cat chirping at night, as if it is in heat.Then the orc soldiers were guarding all over the castle, while a few dragoons were patrolling in the corridors further away. The regiment leader secretly complained. Before he had crossed the two thresholds and reached the bottom floor, he had already knocked down two orcs. Clan warrior.But there is nothing the dragoons can do about it. Letting him fight head-on would be tantamount to committing suicide.

The two monsters were tall, two heads taller than Taylor, a tall adult man. They had dragon horns and huge terrifying mouths on their heads. Tridents were held in their hands. Their arms were majestic and powerful, as if He can crush his own head with one hand.They are not those lizardmen, but more advanced and terrifying existences. They have personally served Alexia and even served as servants of Dragon King Rex Hall. Although they are just servants, they are also real dragons who have been given dragon blood. They are fundamentally different from the semi-demon lizard people.Even one can kill two or three knights like him, let alone two people?He had absolutely no chance, not any chance.

Taylor was a little frustrated. He refused to even make a sound of breathing at night. Taylor applied the special perfume of the orcs on his body. Queen Zelodia had it next to her. After applying it, her sense of smell would become more sensitive. People can't distinguish his foreign smell.He wanted to hold his breath, but if he was not careful it would stop forever.

You are a traitor, Taylor... He thought slowly in his heart. Time has passed for an unknown amount of time, and everything seems to have happened just yesterday.His wife Sarah seemed to be still naked in his arms. He was still very young, with his dyed blond hair combed back and no wrinkles on his cheeks.Sarah touched his face and said, "Are we going to have a baby?" Taylor gently ran his fingers along her beautiful body, waiting for her to let out a soft moan and then look away with a flushed face.He wanted to take it of course, we will return to Xideliner for a grand wedding after this trip, but he had already put the ring on Sarah's ring finger in advance.
