Chris's Faith of Fire

"Ah, I'm following the boss after all."

Hagar smiled and patted the shoulder strap of his backpack.

If we were a team of heroes, I would be the NPC to be escorted, and Hager would be the one carrying the luggage, both of whom have little combat effectiveness.Seeing Lian looking at Hager's hesitant expression, I seemed to be able to understand his mood.

Lian is now in charge of the life and death of this team. Even though Hagar doesn't have much fighting ability, he can carry luggage and has good physical strength.

But what use am I compared to him?

He knows a few useless illusions, but that's all. His swordsmanship level is barely comparable to that of a goblin, not as good as Fami's before.

So Lian also said that the purpose of the first half of the journey was to drop me off at Sahavir's house in Sestotia.

This is what I proposed, because I would only cause trouble for them and could not do anything. I have not even recovered from the life of a young lady.

Although this is a very unpromising choice, it is good for everyone. What determines this is the reality that we have to admit.

After all, Noelle still had an engagement, so Duke Shahavier wouldn't be so ruthless.

Even if she couldn't marry Noelle, just being a servant would be much better than sleeping in the open air like this.

I don't have the talent for fighting, so I have to look for ways to become stronger in other directions.

This world is on the verge of collapse, if the Demon King's army conquers the world.

The development will be very cliche, but the sad ending is anyone's guess.

The young were used as slaves, the old were killed mercilessly, and the women became tools for reproduction and sexual release.

There is no hope in such a world, especially now without God.

"Go down the mountain."

"Well, be careful not to fall."

"Don't treat me like a child!"

After hearing Lian's words, I slowed down and walked at the back of the team.

We can reach it in half a moment, and when I think about it, I feel that my steps are much faster.

By the way, it seems to have some strange smell.

"Did you smell anything?"

Haggar sniffed twice.

"No, you are too suspicious."

"No way, such an obvious smell..."

"Hey, little princess, if you dislike me, just say it and don't be sarcastic!"

He misunderstood me and seemed angry about it.

But what does the little princess mean? She said this even after she saw Garnet being killed. Isn't it just adding salt to the wound?Being told that, I also became heated.

"What a little princess! I don't want to be said like that now."

"Oh, then what can you do, little princess."

Alas, what can I do?

When I was told this, I was stunned.

It turns out that he also noticed it. Am I not the only one who is thinking too much?Since Haggar also noticed it, Lian and Fami must also feel this way.It's a fact that I can't do anything to help on this team.

Even if the two of them didn't say it verbally, they must have realized this in their hearts. After all, even the rough-and-tumble Hager realized it.

They will think so too.

It turns out that I have always seemed redundant.

"Wha...what, wu...wu uh..."

"Huh? Hey! Don't just start crying suddenly without saying a word."

"Hage, this is too much."

"Ahh! I know. I'm sorry, Chris. I was just joking. I shouldn't compare myself like this...after all, you are still...your advantage is..."

"Woo... woo woo."

Tears flowed down uncontrollably. Why on earth was I crying?

Inexplicably, I just suddenly felt my eyes were a little blurry. In the past, when someone poked me in a painful spot, I would just blush and think about fighting back, but now I don't even have the strength to do that.

"Ah, what should I do?"

"...Here, use this. Don't worry, it's been washed well."

Fami shook his head helplessly and rummaged for something in his pocket.

After a while, he handed over his handkerchief.

"Thank you. Woo, woo."

Looking at the handkerchief he handed over, it had the word Ollie embroidered on it.

His tears stopped immediately.

"Fami, is this handkerchief?"

"Ah, it belongs to a good friend from my hometown."

"That's it."

Lian turned her face away. This was probably the result of modifying her memory.

Just when I wanted to wipe away the tears, a gust of wind blew the handkerchief away.

The handkerchief floating slowly in the sky turned several times, passed before my eyes, and then flew to the rocks nearby.

"Sorry, I'll go pick it up."

After all, it was something with his younger brother's name embroidered on it. Even if he didn't remember it, he couldn't just throw it away.

My emotions drove my body, and the fatigue I felt just now seemed to be thrown away, and I rushed towards the rock over there.

It fell into the grass on the side, great, now the wind has completely stopped.

Sure enough, there is a strange smell here. Why didn't these people notice it? Isn't it true that women's sense of smell is different from men's?

Hmm, why does it feel a little dirty? Things that fall on the ground will become dirty after a while.

This stain is...

No, no!This situation is very strange!

Although my subconscious told me not to think too much and get out of here, my focus was still on the stain on the handkerchief.

It was dark and felt like it was about to solidify.

There is a fishy smell. Isn't this blood?

"What's wrong, Chrissy?"

I called back my real name, and Lian seemed to have noticed something was wrong with me.

Yes, what exactly is this in front of me...

Curiosity pulled me to look behind the rock.

A dark, smelly thing with a lot of flies gathered.

A bright red, elongated strip was revealed.

It's like the whole thing has been opened. Alas, where is this torn and opened part?

My mind can't turn around.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

When he realized what was in front of him, his screams filled the sky.

We started with a negative number, the worst journey we had to endure.

Chapter 58 58. Deathstroke Town and Orphanage——1

Rosa Town, formerly known as Rosario Town.

Among the several towns we passed along the way, they were considered small and medium-sized. What stood out was a large bell in the center of the town. It looked heavy and ancient. Coupled with the scene I just saw, it inexplicably reminded me of the word death knell.

"It's okay, Chris."

Lian stroked my back, and Fami helped me walk into the town.

I vomited after seeing the rotting and swollen body just now, as if I was vomiting out all the gastric juices.

I couldn't feel anything at that moment, neither sad nor wanting to sigh about life.

gross.

I can't even eat when I think about it. When I close my eyes, I can only see that horrific scene.

The reflection on my retina is unforgettable.

Corpses are common in this world. No wonder everyone has to bury them properly. It is really horrible to leave them on the roadside.

"It doesn't matter, it's just the first time I've seen it..."

Although I had seen corpses when I returned to Agote, this was the first time I had felt this nauseating feeling that went straight to my brain.

"Probably someone who was killed by a monster. Even I can't bear that kind of scene."

Although Lian couldn't use fire magic, she quickly disposed of the body because she was carrying a magic scroll.

If you leave it alone, it may turn into undead and attack the village due to the influence of the demon king.

A corpse that has become like that will come back to life. Seriously, stop joking.

"Pay more attention. Maybe that person is a citizen here. Suppress your emotions a little."

"Ah."

When we walked into the town, no one looked over.

It's strange. People usually come up to ask questions when they are in other places. This is also one of the ways for them to obtain information as they have little contact with the outside world.But now the worker who was moving wood in the distance just glanced here and turned away, turning a blind eye to us.

Lian stepped forward and tried to talk.

"Sorry, we are travelers. Is this Rosa Town?"

"Tsk..."

The man made a small smacking sound, which made Lian frown slightly.

"That's it. The hotels and shops in the town are closed. If you want to stay overnight, go to the Elkaga Monastery in the east...so you can make your own arrangements."

After he finished speaking, he carried the wood and left.

"That guy is so rude! I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Haggar was particularly energetic when meeting his opponent who was also a human, so of course Lian held him back.

"It's okay, let's go east."

"The same goes for Hager, don't do such attention-grabbing things."

"Do they know about the Demon King?"

That was the first thing that came to my mind.

"You should know. There are no customers coming to the hotel when it is open, and the shops are closed. This is undoubtedly a reaction to learning about the existence of the Demon King."

What Fami said makes sense. This situation also happened in the towns we met along the way.But is that really the case? Even though he is a young and middle-aged laborer, he still stays in the town with such an attitude. It feels like he doesn’t want outsiders to get close to him.

But it’s too early to say this now. Others have other people’s difficulties. As outsiders, we shouldn’t meddle too much.

The joyful mood we had when we first arrived in the town was suddenly knocked to the bottom by the townspeople of Deathstroke Town. Even Haggar seemed very unhappy.

"You bastard, you didn't even tell me how long you're going to go, are you going east? Do you mean to let us go directly to Gilkern?"

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and made a rattling sound. Fami and Lian paid no attention to Haggar's words.

"You always use such a barbaric attitude, and the people you can communicate with become unable to communicate. You must learn to communicate. Even if you are speaking the same language, there is nothing that cannot be solved through communication."
