Chris's Faith of Fire

Now I just feel that no matter what, it's better, because everywhere is warmer than the palace of Rod Cullosinte.

I wanted to get out of there quickly, to escape from these fatal tasks and Sister Wang's suspicion.

In fact, this world is quite boring. Reading books every day is the greatest entertainment.Although I have become more free this year than before, I can't go to the city to play every day.

The adventurous life I long for is destined to be out of reach for most people, especially for me as a weak person.

"Your Highness, are you awake yet?"

The familiar maid's voice sounded on the other side of the door, announcing the beginning of a new day.

"Well, come in, Sophie."

After briefly dressing up and changing clothes, I left the room.

The two knights at the door stood on both sides like door gods.

"Aren't you all asleep?"

"Sorry! Your Highness, I just took a nap, please punish me!"

The younger looking knight quickly stood up straight and answered quickly.

"Huh? What I mean is that you don't have to be on duty anymore. Go and rest quickly."

"Your Highness...Your Highness?"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not in good spirits and can't protect me. This is an order. Please let me sleep until tonight."

"Yes, yes! Your Highness."

"Hoohoo~~"

Sophie laughed a little.

This made my cheeks turn red. How on earth could I just say such textbook tsundere nonsense?

"Your Highness is indeed not candid~~"

"Wordy."

◆ ◇

I longed for Mercenary Station because role-playing games had left a deep impression on me.

But I am afraid of where to go, not because I am afraid of those barbaric adventurers, but because I am afraid that the real mercenaries are different from what I imagined, and I will be disillusioned... In that case, I will want to return to the original world even more. Yes, obviously I can never say that I want to go back.

If I give up on this matter halfway, I really don’t know how to face myself.

I would never do anything to give up my life. Crystal's fate is my fate.

"Your Highness, are you planning to go out?"

"That's right, you go with me...Sophie, forget it."

I pointed at Fami, and he smiled and followed me. He seemed to be in a much better mood.

"But Your Highness, let's forget it. How can we do it without a knight?"

Sophie seemed worried, but from the perspective of her subordinates, this was not a reassuring thing.

"I just told them to rest, and the Wang family has no regrets."

"But……"

"Don't worry Sophie, all the soldiers in the fortress are my guards."

Yesterday, the deputy leader should have mentioned to the lord that I like to go to town alone. He seems to be a smooth person, so he should have told his subordinates about such small things.

Be sure to protect the white-haired girl, that's what I would do if I were him.

"In that case, please ask someone to follow you!"

"Hey, I think the mercenary station is not a suitable space for girls."

Sophie said that her brother never came back after becoming an adventurer, and she was quite repelled by this profession.Going there must be a very difficult thing for her.

"Your Highness is also a girl, so I don't feel at ease just letting you and Fami go to someone else's house."

"The sense of responsibility of a big sister that comes from your actual age is totally unworkable in reality."

"Eh? How old is Sister Sophie? Are you 15? Or 16..."

"Fami! It's so rude to ask a girl her age!"

Sophie hit the boy on the head angrily.

It's so pitiful to say that it's illegal to touch a girl who is obviously the same age as us.

"Anyway, it's a little different from what you imagined... Ahem, let's go out quickly, it will be very annoying if the deputy leader finds out."

With that said, I walked out of the hotel door.

The two of them also stopped fighting and followed me.

Agat is much smaller than Rodeculosaint, and because it is built on a flat-topped rock, the usable area is very limited.

Food can be transported by ramp, but water pouring becomes a problem.

Even using the spiral pumping method, it is difficult to transport water to such a high place. Fortunately, this world has magic technology. After investing a lot of money, it seems that water use will not be a big problem.

I thought as I looked at the spring water flowing from the giant crystal in the center of the town.

How much money can you make if you sell that thing?But can anyone take away such a behemoth?

Just saying it feels like a joke.

But spending a lot of money on construction here shows how important the location of Agat is.

As the last barrier before the royal capital, Agat has such value.

"Let's go quickly."

The Mercenary Institute is not a formal name, it is just a self-deprecating name for the adventurers. The full name of this organization should be "Eogard Freeman Mercenary Trade Association - Garnet Department."

Usually the staff seems to use the local place name plus the word association.

The headquarters originates from the Empire of Palradi. About 1000 years ago, traveling merchants were often robbed of their property by rampant bandits and deserters. In order to protect their property and lives, they had to ask for help from warriors. However, it is too expensive to hire regular soldiers, and many will not even accept private commissions. It is not known whether a team of mercenaries can be trusted.

The martial empire, which worshiped the God of War and the Illusionary God, created such an organization with the support of the royal family. Gilkern, who quickly smelled the business, followed closely. Gradually, the organization grew and was stationed all over the world.

Probably everyone except the goblins are willing to deal with the association.

All adventurers are registered in the association, use the power of Mana to establish a contract and pay a deposit before the mission so that they cannot easily become evil. Moreover, if they are found guilty of doing bad things, the association will pay for the arrest. In that case, they will Being hunted by adventurers all over the world.Although it is very harsh, everyone can always find a job by relying on the association, so everyone is patient. Anyway, the association can be trusted. If you don't have bad intentions, you don't need to care so much. Mana's contract is only valid when you violate the oath.

When we stepped into the room with wooden floors, everyone turned their attention.

It didn't look friendly, like it was hostile to us.

Perhaps in their eyes, the circumstances under which these children came here made people feel out of place.

There are quite a few mercenaries of young girls and boys. Sophie's younger brother should have left home at the age of 14 to become an adventurer.

But it's rare to see someone dressed up so gorgeously.

Even the youngest children among that group of people will wear the leather armor donated by the association to protect themselves, showing a mature face as they examine today's visitors.

But among the three of us, even Fami, the attendant, was well dressed in an embroidered vest and boots. Compared with these adventurers, he looked like a noble young master.

"Welcome to the Agote Association, you three, please take the seats over there first."

A woman wearing a maid uniform designed differently from Sophie smiled and bent down to lead us enthusiastically to sit on a seat aside.

Probably thinking that we were guests, the adventurers who saw this immediately turned their heads as if they had lost interest.

Nobles usually issue commissions, and it is not uncommon for adventurers to accept commissions.

"Your Highness, it seems inappropriate now to say that we are just here to have fun..."

Sophie looked very nervous. She was still not used to this environment.

There was a man on the side who had his eyes locked on Sophie's plump breasts. I could see it clearly through the reflection in the window!

Damn, capitalist boobs…

"Hmph...I'm not here to play."

I came here because I do have something I want to entrust the association to do.

Chapter 43 43. Intertwined fates——3

"Thank you, the tea is delicious."

Sipping my tea, I smiled at the maid at the mercenary station, and she immediately returned a shallow smile.

His eyes were slightly squinted, his cherry-colored thin lips were slightly raised, and her slender, white arms were hanging down naturally while holding the tray.

Hmm... so skillful, even better than the Wang family's business-like smile.

Even though she looks relatively ordinary, she still gives people the aura of a great beauty.

lost...

I shed tears of reluctance in my heart.

"Miss, do you have any entrustment?"

She bent over and asked me, and her career line could be seen slightly through her collar.Have you practiced this kind of movement well?

"Oh...Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Turning around, I found Fami staring there closely. No wonder I felt a burning gaze just now.

"Don't blush, and where are you looking, idiot!"

"No, there's nothing there! I'm just a little uncomfortable with the title of eldest lady all of a sudden!"

"Then why did you suddenly stutter when you spoke? Is it weird that I'm called Miss?"

Why are there so many guys in the world who say they like little girls, but they obviously become speechless after seeing a beautiful older sister, right?

He raised his eyebrows angrily and looked at the busty maid in front of him.

"Huhu~~ You are really interesting, maybe you should be called a princess."

"Eh?"

"Just kidding, it is said that the princess of this country also has beautiful long silver hair, just like you."

"..."

Oops, this guy talks so handsomely!

"Miss, this is so wonderful~~"

I almost got captured for a moment, but even Sophie made fun of me.

"Ahem, wordy!"

That's enough for the joking. I coughed twice and brought the topic back on track.

"Miss Maid, I came to the association to distribute a missing person's request."

"Who is the person you are looking for?"

She tilts her head in a questioning manner, which also makes her look cute.

"The swordsman with long gray curly hair and wearing a black robe is a male, but he has a beautiful face like a woman."

The name is Lian.

Although I wanted to say it just like that, I still kept the words in my throat.

It is better to observe her reaction first. If you have never heard of such a person, releasing his name will only cause trouble for Mr. Lian.

"...A man as beautiful as a woman."

The maid was thoughtful, and then looked at the adventurer in the mercenary station as if she had remembered something.

"Excuse me last week...ah, it's so nice to have you here."

Before she could say a complete sentence, a man came to us.

"Hey, are you talking about that guy who is both male and female? I have seen him before. We took the same car to Rode Cullos Center before."

Without our consent, he pressed one hand on the round table in front of us, getting very close to us, and his body exuded the stench of sweat and wet soil.
