Chris's Faith of Fire

After swallowing a gulp of saliva, he took a step forward.

At the same time, Michelle stretched out the staff... I subconsciously closed my eyes and stepped back, but she just stopped the staff 10 centimeters in front of my forehead, then closed her eyes and stopped completely like a statue.

This kind of stillness lasted much longer than expected. There was no chanting or unnecessary movements as expected. After a moment, her body was enveloped in cyan light. The light condensed on the gem of the staff, and then in front of my eyes. A small magic circle was formed.

"Well, it's so dazzling."

"Your Highness, please don't move."

"Well……"

After enduring this for about a minute, Mihir opened his eyes, and then the dazzling blue light gradually dissipated.

"Your Highness, what happened...this..."

Seeing the way she hesitated to speak, I probably already understood what was going on.

"I don't have any talent...right."

"Well, you can't say that...the amount of magic power is several times that of ordinary people, so it can open the door for the time being...but the attribute is 'illusion'..."

She expressed the result with some embarrassment.

I have no idea about this, but I can understand that it is not an ideal talent.

The atmosphere after what was explained to me was a little depressing. After listening to it, I left the study and asked Mihir to go back and rest early.

My attribute is fantasy.

There are seven attributes of magic in this world...

They are fire, wind, water, earth, light, darkness and illusion.

Generally speaking, as long as you have the magic power to open the Mana Gate and have the attribute suitability, you can use magic with the help of a magic guide. The more magic power you have, the faster you will connect to the door... and you can also use your own magic when you are at the end of your rope. Magic Use magic quickly.

However, even though some people have considerable amounts of magic in their bodies, none of the attributes are suitable...

Such people are no different from ordinary people and cannot use magic in their lifetime.

Talented magicians generally only have one attribute adaptation, but of course there are occasionally two or three attribute adaptations... Guys with three attribute adaptations can become mainland heroic wizards, because the legendary gods Most of them only have three attributes.

Everyone has different qualifications and different attributes. In principle, most people cannot have more than three opposing attributes at the same time.

Fire and water are opposite, wind and earth are opposite, and darkness and light are opposite.

This is the law of the world...

However, the attribute "phantom" I am accustomed to is a very subtle one.

It's different from dark magic, which is called evil, but it's not really a right path either.

The phantom attribute uses the power of the gap between the Gate of Mana. It is just an auxiliary spell used to deceive the opponent and is considered an underhanded move.There are many humans who are adapted to this attribute...but there are absolutely no people who specialize in this and go down in history.

But as someone who adapts to this attribute, I don’t have any big magical talents, so that’s pretty much it…

Lying on his back on the big bed, his fingers touched the red crystal necklace on his chest.

Mihir said that the necklace itself is a powerful magic weapon.

A unique masterpiece made from the crystal called the Heart of Eliog.

But now it shines with a charming sheen as if it were ironic to me.

Chapter 7 7. Talent - 4

After being told that I had no magical talent, I have always been concerned about this matter, but on the one hand, I also secretly reminded myself to be more mature. After all, magic attributes are better than not adapting to anything.

But then I went to practice swordsmanship with my onee-sama.

The result is worse than magic.

"Chris, are you not suitable for this kind of thing? Be a little more serious!"

"Huh... Well, I'm sorry, I really can't hold on any longer."

All morning I just repeated the movements and steps of holding the sword. Just the weight of the sword made me exhausted.

My hands were too tired to lift my strength, and my muscles felt sore when I clenched my fists.

"Forget it, this is a skill that can't be mastered in a day. That's it for today. Your physical strength is too weak. Please come to the training ground more often in the future."

"Well, onee-sama..."

"what happened?"

I grabbed the hem of Ladia’s clothes who was holding the sword and was about to return to training.

"Sister-sama, do you have the magical attributes to adapt to it?"

As if she understood what happened all of a sudden, she turned around and faced me.

"Have you gone to see Mihir to test Mana's adaptability?"

"Um……"

"Well, it seems that the results are not optimistic. Let me ask...what are you adapting to?"

"It's magic...it's said that the amount of magic can still open the door."

After hearing the fantasy, she suddenly lost interest and seemed to look away.

"Really, remember to call it 'Mana'. Magic is a word spoken by wizards who have no faith. As Princess Garnet, just remember this. Magic with the attribute of illusion is a heresy. , don’t worry about it... By the way, if you still want to practice swordsmanship, cut your hair short."

Pointing at her short silver-white hair with her armored index finger, she made an exaggerated suggestion in an understatement.

"……don't want."

I can't accept it. They say hair is a woman's life.

The part of me that was Chris instinctively resisted and felt extremely disgusted with my sister who said such words so casually.

"Then at least tie yourself up and come to the training ground. If you look careless like this, everyone will feel dissatisfied."

Ladia's eyes looked around at the knights watching us, then she picked up the sword again and returned to training.

After the training, I don’t know what kind of magic Latiya is suitable for.

It wasn't until later that I learned from the servants that my sister was an adaptor of light and illusion attributes, but as she valued her faith, she only learned light-attribute magic.She was also proficient in swordsmanship and was quickly called the "Princess of the Holy Sword". As a candidate for the throne, she was also a candidate for the knight leader.

"I see, so you don't care about your hair at all?"

Being concerned about this kind of thing, I no longer want to go to the training ground.

I don't want to do anything, and the curiosity I had in the past few days has completely dissipated.

Two days passed like this. Although there was a response to the matter entrusted to Crowe, I did not listen to Sophie's words and asked her not to bother me.

Although venting your anger on others is the most childish thing to do, you can't change your immature mentality.

"Your Highness... It's not good for your health. You'd better eat something."

On the morning of the third day, Sophie opened the door without my permission and walked in with a plate of food.

My stomach growled when I smelled the aroma of food coming from Sophie.

"Huh... Got it. I'm going to freshen up first..."

"Yes! Let me help you."

After hearing my response, the girl followed me excitedly.

"Your Highness, don't worry about these little things."

"Don't worry, I've figured it out. I'm really sorry for venting my anger on you before."

Sophie's hand combing my long hair paused for a while, but after a while, she combed it smoothly again.

"Is my hair getting worse?"

"No matter where you go, your highness, your hair and other parts are so perfect!"

"is it?"

"Of course! You are called 'Crystal Princess' by the people."

"Princess Crystal?"

"Well, because Her Royal Highness Crystal's silver hair and red eyes are as cute as a delicate doll, as pure and beautiful as crystal."

What a shameful compliment.

"Humph, because everyone doesn't know anything, that's why they say such things."

If you knew that this princess was extremely selfish, you wouldn't know anything.Compared to the Holy Sword Princess, it's just her beauty. No, Ladia just has short hair. If we have to talk about her appearance, she is also a beauty.

"Your Highness..."

The maid's face turned gloomy and she silently helped me braid my hair.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to relax by myself today. You don't have to come with me."

"Yes...Mr. Crowe said that what His Highness requested before should be completed today."

"Really? That's great. If you meet me, please give me a thank you."

"I understand, Your Highness...that..."

"Ok?"

"No, nothing. The weather is still a bit cold, please pay more attention to your health..."

Feeling that Sophie wanted to say something else, I stayed for a while, but in the end she just bent down and bowed.

◆ ◇

Slow down the long circular steps and pass through the guarded arch.

"Your Highness, you can't go any further."

"I know, I know, I just want to relax in the garden."

"terribly sorry……"

Looking at the city in the distance, it is not as prosperous as imagined. The houses are generally beautiful white single-family buildings.

Is it because it's close to the castle?Maybe the people living here are nobles.

"It's okay, that's your responsibility too, isn't it? Thank you for your hard work, please accept this."

"Oh...well, thank you Your Highness."

I brought out a few snacks that Sophie had brought before, wrapped them in paper and handed them to the guards.

I looked at the scenery outside the gate for a while, but there was nothing worth looking at for a long time...

The guards didn't say anything, they just stood guard on both sides as usual.

They saluted as I turned to leave...

They also have responsibilities, and what can I do?

Thinking about this, I walked towards the garden.

I said before that the bathhouse in the palace is decorated like a garden, but I really can't describe what the garden is like.

Maybe there were many such gardens in the original world, but for a part-time job like me, I had only read about them in fairy tales.

Trees with unknown names are neatly arranged around, and every plant and tree has been carefully constructed. The surrounding flower beds naturally leave space for adults to pass through, connecting the eight noodles restaurant in the center.

There are tables and chairs that look perfect for drinking tea.

"What a nice place..."

Even though the Crystal in my memory is already a frequent visitor here, this place still makes me feel pleasant, and my worries seem to have drifted to an unknown distance all of a sudden.

In fact, it's not really a worry at all, it's just a lack of talent in magic and swordsmanship.

Maybe it's just that I haven't practiced enough.

I believe there is always something I can do in this world...

Haha, being beautiful is also a talent, right?

When I thought about it like this, I gradually calmed down. Although the title Crystal Princess made people shy, I still felt a little proud when I thought about it.

There must be something I can do. Until then, let’s continue practicing magic as before.
