Chris's Faith of Fire

Even so, I still tried my best, and even used my own money to open stores for poor people to run. Of course, some succeeded and some failed.It is still losing money, but it may gradually start to improve this year. This is what I am mainly doing this year.

But Ollie is very lucky. He has talent in magic, especially in the aspect of sensing Mana...

"There is no need to be polite. If I had known that Mr. Free had become so cautious, I should have asked your mother not to reveal it to you."

I tilted my head to the side, pretending to be angry.

"...It's so rude. I actually overcharged His Highness... No, Miss Chris, I feel so ashamed."

Mr. Free scratched his blond hair in annoyance. Although it was a social statement, there was no artificiality in his behavior at all. The handsome guy really couldn't be annoying in anything he did.

"Let's not talk about it for now. How is Ollie's situation? Can he adapt to this job?"

I looked at Fami on the side and asked first on his behalf.

For him who is not very familiar with Mr. Free, this is probably a question that he wants to ask but finds it difficult to ask.

"Oli is very talented. It's hard to believe that he was born as a commoner... He is already very helpful to me at this age." The young man stroked the back of the little boy's head. Oli didn't know whether it was out of comfort or shyness and kept his head closed. Only eyes.

Fami was obviously relieved after hearing what he said.

"Thank you, Mr. Interland." Fami thanked him honestly.

His etiquette and rules have improved a lot this year. He is a very adaptable and smart child.

"It's nothing. Your brother is very talented. I should be the one to thank you, Fami... By the way, it's too rude to keep you standing here. Miss Chris, please go to the workroom and sit down."

He smiled and invited me into the workshop with his unskilled salute.

"So, what would Miss Chris want to do today? Of course, just chatting is also very welcome."

Ollie took the tray and set down the cups in front of the three of us.

"Ah, Ollie, please sit down and pour yourself a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Master." Ollie sat next to Free, and Fami and I sat on the other side.

I smiled and took out a dagger from Fami's bag.

"Today I want to ask you to help me enchant this knife."

"Oh, I'm very happy to use it as a self-defense weapon?"

"Yes, although the rapier of the main weapon has been enchanted by you, I think this is safer."

After practicing swordsmanship with my sister, I enchanted the sword with wind magic. Although I like flames due to the influence of my father, using wind magic like Noelle and others can relieve a lot of burden on my body, which makes me so weak. People also became able to use swords.

"That's great. Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, compared to wind magic, I want to have a completely different function this time. Unlike the main battle sword, the dagger is necessary for self-defense... so I think the wind magic can save energy and make myself lighter. Magic is not that necessary. If I have to say it, by the way, the essence of a dagger is the one-hit killing move."

"Um, Chris... are you serious?" Fami frowned. It seemed that I had only seen this expression on his face.

"It's normal, for girls..."

"No, I don't usually have girls like this!"

Whatever, I'm only half a girl anyway.

"Haha, of course a beautiful lady like Miss Chris needs self-defense weapons, little brother Fami."

"Humph, that's right. Fami, I am a beautiful lady~~" I said half-jokingly.

"No... damn... why do you always believe those beautiful words..."

But he lowered his head and muttered something as if he was serious.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing at all!"

Ollie stared at us now and laughed quietly.

"Fami...Brother, I like...Dian...Uh-huh!" As a result, his mouth was immediately covered by his sworn brother.

It's good to have a good relationship between brothers, but can we not make trouble in front of others?Forget it, there is absolutely no need to blame at this level.

"Well, if you are pursuing such an effect, I have a recommendation."

Free dragged his chin, seemingly not paying attention to the commotion just now.

"recommend?"

"Well, please come with me..."

After that, Free turned and walked towards the interior of his small workshop. I pointed out that after it was a little dark, the light was now much better than before.Free pointed to a light red crystal on the enchantment table.

"This is……"

"Coral," Free replied. "Of course, it's a special piece of coral rich in mana."

"Can it bring the power of fire?"

After looking at the faint glow of the red stone, I asked the young man.

He shook his head, pointed at the spar and said, "There are two gems sent today, coral and citrine... This is what I recommend."

"What is their purpose?"

"Let me talk about this first. Coral represents majesty and eternity...Miss Chrissy."

"It's the first time I heard..."

"This piece of coral can add light attributes to the dagger, and it is also the attack surface, power... For a long sword, the amount of mana contained in this gem is too small, but for a knife, it is just right. And Miss Chrissy The dagger brought is exquisitely crafted and can fully withstand this amount of magic."

"The majestic light...could it be said that it is lightning?"

"As expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Free snapped his fingers. "Unlike the weak current brought by the wind attribute, the power is a gift from God..."

"Oh, that sounds good. What about the other one?" I stared at the topaz. To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, the quality of this gemstone is better.

"It's also light, but this one is of the restoration type... Of course, if you want to choose this side, I'll be happy to help."

Is this fatal or life-saving?It all feels good.

Free waited patiently for my reply.

Oops, oops!The difficulty of choice is about to strike.

Well, that's right.

"I choose coral."

"Sure enough, attacking is more important to the Princess of the Kingdom of Fire."

"Yes, although recovery is also very important... but in the hands of weak people, I am afraid it will only become the enemy's trophy. For the weak, an all-out attack may be the best defense."

I don't think there is any difference between being tortured and killed once and twice. Rather, it may be more painful the second time.

"Really... I can clearly see my own strength. This is a very reasonable opinion. Then I'll leave the next step to you. Ollie, please be optimistic about my movements and techniques. Your Highness, in order to prevent the light from piercing you. Eyes, please go out and wait."

Free said thoughtfully, but I didn't see anything last time just for this reason, and I don't want to miss it this time.

"No need, I also want to know the process of enchantment."

He nodded, placed the dagger he got from me on the enchanting table, and then took out the hammer and chisel from the buckle of his trousers.The gem was placed above the knife and gradually began to melt with a ray of light.

The dazzling light extended from the tip of the chisel, slowly falling like water until it penetrated the body of my dagger.

At this time, Free raised the hammer and struck hard. The vibration of this blow could even be transmitted to me from the wall of the house.

He must have broken it. Although he thought so, he saw the young man's serious look without any panic, so he still did not disturb his work.

"prakaashoshaktiobeetana"

He recited the rune three times and struck the hammer three times.When the room became quiet again, I saw that he was already sweating profusely.

"That's great...Master!" Ollie hurried forward and handed over the towel. The young man wiped his face and body with the towel and thanked him gently.

Is it true that he takes very considerate care of his master, or is this the result of Free's own training?No, it would be more appropriate to use the word "training" at this time.

Well, stop it, my rose heart...

"Your Highness, it's done...haha, haha."

"Thank you."

"You can only use it three times a day, please be careful."

Three times, it seems to be used with caution.

I took the dagger from Free's hand and struck it so hard, but only shallow and neat runes were left on the blade.Not only did it not make the dagger look ugly, it also added a sense of mystery.I heard that the runes are not written on them, but revealed...

Although I don’t quite understand it, my admiration for craftsmen suddenly rose to the height of my lifetime.

"Well...it seems like it will cost a lot of money."

Fami, who was completely stunned, said blankly.

"For Miss Chris's usual care, we only charge 5000 April."

"5000! Chris, Your Highness Ladia will know after spending so much money!"

How could it be? It’s much cheaper than imagined.

"It's okay." I stopped Fami with one hand.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask of you than this."

I also like the citrine on the table very much.

◆ ◇

It was almost late at night when we returned to the palace. Although Mr. Free was almost lying down from exhaustion, I think he was still happy to take on this job.

Holding the mithril necklace in my hand, the corners of my mouth could not help but curve.

"You're so happy after spending so much money." Fami put his hands on the back of his head and said in a low voice.

“But you get what you pay for.”

"In my opinion, those are all useless things, Your Highness Princess..."

"Princess is a high-risk profession, especially when I was attacked by monsters before, which made me even more uneasy."

"But what's the use of a dagger if the knights can't square it off."

What he said was somewhat sarcastic, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Although I wanted to teach him a lesson, I calmed down reflexively after recalling that I almost killed Fami before.

"Anyway, just in case."

"right……"

When I reached the spiral staircase in the hall, I stopped.

"What's wrong?" He stopped and asked, following my footsteps, but I didn't answer immediately.

According to custom, male waiters should not take the initiative to approach the Wang family's residence, so when Fami saw her naked before, I had no idea that it was him outside the door.

Although I trust Fami very much at the moment, the rules are not good or bad.

"Fami, that's it. If I summon you, just wait in the lobby. Don't... don't come to my room again."

"What's wrong? Do you still mind what happened before?"

"That's not the case, but I think it's inappropriate for you to just barge into the dormitory."

He frowned slightly, and his open hands hung in the air for a long time as if he didn't know where to put them, and then slowly fell down.

"What's wrong! Are you angry?"

"I told you it's not the case anymore. I just think you should abide by the basic rules!"

"rule?"

"Yes, although I allow you to be more casual, your attitude has become more and more casual recently, and you also call me by my name in front of others..."

Before I could finish my words, Fami clenched his molars and smacked his lips.

"Tsk, it's obviously you who asked me to scream like that. What's wrong with you? If you're angry, just say so!"

"So I said I'm not angry, I'm just reminding you..."
