Chris's Faith of Fire

"Drink it, it's medicine."

"Ugh?"

Although he felt a little strange, Fami opened the bottle cap and drank it without thinking.

It's sweet and fragrant, a bit like milk but a little red and viscous, maybe it's just in the kettle so I can't see it clearly.

"Master, this medicine tastes really good, but there is so little of it. If it were this, I could probably drink it every day."

Seeing Fami finish drinking the medicine in the bottle, Lian grabbed the water bottle, as if she didn't want him to look at it for another second.

"It's a pity that this is very expensive and I can't let you drink it every day."

"oh, I see."

Seeing the young man's disappointed expression, Lian sighed silently.

The mania seems to be about to break out, so I can't be careful.

This is a disease that is more difficult to control than his own desire for blood. As an ancestor, he is trapped in blood, let alone Fami.

Fami is a person who has spent a lot of effort to transform himself. Although he is guided by his own pure blood, he still inevitably falls into this disease. If he were a little older, he would probably be able to control it well.

But before that, you still have to rely on feeding blood to avoid going crazy. Once he loses control, the identity of this young man will be exposed. What expression should he use to face Chris at that time?

Thinking of this, Lian pressed the cork of the kettle more carefully. It must be washed thoroughly afterwards.

In order to collect blood, he went to the village to seduce three women and collected a small amount of blood, which probably only caused some fatigue for them.

"So what should we practice today, Master?"

Fami's desperate search for strength may prove to be his weakness.

"Let's not talk about this first. I have seen your sword. Although it is good, it has no inscription."

Fami's sword was always on his person. A month ago, the boy pointed this sword at himself to defend his master.

Although it cannot be said to be bad, it is very ordinary, like a stamped standard sword.

Thinking of this, Lian took out a long sword from the bag on her back.

"I'm going to give this to you."

"Huh? This is..."

"The Dark Sword 'Black Pearl' is one of the works forged by Hepheus, a famous craftsman in the demon world, using dark crystal as the blade. Although it looks ordinary, it hides a special ability, which is related to my 'Blood Fantasy' and 'Exile' It's no worse than the previous one. If you can inspire the power of this sword, you can be considered as graduating from me."

As he spoke, Lian held the sword sideways and showed it to Fami.

The long sword Blood Fantasy and the short sword Exile are Lian's favorite swords. Just by hearing their names, you can tell how extraordinary these two swords are, and how powerful swords that can compare with them are.

Watching Lian gradually pull out the sword from the scabbard, Fami stared at the sword body intently.

Different from other swords, this sword has some curvature and only has a single edge. It can be seen that the main use is to chop or slash rather than hacking and stabbing.

The smooth sword body exudes a dark purple shimmer, and there are colorful sword patterns on it, which is really beautiful.

In front of this sword, the sword he carried was like rubbish.

Lian turned around and waved a few times in the air.

The dark purple stream of light is as dazzling as magic, and the fallen leaves split into two halves when they hit the blade.

Fami couldn't wait to get the sword.

Does the master carry such a beautiful sword with him?I’ve never seen him use it before, I can’t believe it!

Just when Fami was about to take the black pearl, Lian withdrew his hand and put the sword back into the scabbard.

"Before I give this to you, I have a question."

"question?"

Lian's expression cooled down, and her gray eyebrows became stern, completely different from the way she showed off her collection with pride just now.

"Fami, have you ever killed anyone?"

"Eh? If it's a demon, master has seen it too..."

"I'm asking you, have you ever killed a human being?"

Lian frowned again. He was serious. This was a test that did not allow casual answers.

Killed someone?Of course not, I have never even pointed a sword at anyone.

The young man shook his head in fear.

Of course Lian is also aware of this. He was the one who rewritten Fami's memory. He certainly did not give him the memory of killing anyone. Moreover, such a strong memory is difficult to forge. Generally speaking, he would never forge someone to kill someone. Memories of sexual experiences or loss of relatives.

However, what Lian asked was not as simple as whether he had killed or not.

He held up the black pearl and continued to ask.

"I'll give you this sword. What do you plan to chop with it first?"

unclear meaning.

Fami couldn't detect anything from the master's question.

What are you cutting with a sword?

It's impossible to say that he practiced with wooden stakes first, although that's what he thought just now.

This "Black Pearl" is so beautiful and the design is so special. It seems that it will take some time to get used to it. Fami even quickly discovered that in order to adapt to this sword, he had to learn unique swordsmanship.

I see. Does the master want to test my insight?

He specifically showed off the sword just now, probably to give me a chance to observe the characteristics of the sword.

At times like this, just answer honestly.

"I want to use it to kill monsters right away. This sword is different from other swords, and it may take a long time to get used to it. This kind of adaptation cannot be achieved by swinging it in the air or using a wooden stake. I still plan to use it in the end. Learn this skill in dangerous situations.”

After hearing his serious answer, Lian didn't know how to answer for a moment, but his eyes darkened and he looked very disappointed.

Fami, who longs to become stronger, does have outstanding talent in this area.

But it seems that this made him lose the most important thing about being a warrior.

He cannot hold this sword now.

Otherwise, you will definitely get into trouble...

But refusing without saying anything seemed callous.

Thinking of this, Lian sat on a tree stump and put the black pearl aside.

"Fami, do you know Sword God?"

"Sword God? It refers to the true people of Nefera..."

"Not bad." Lian replied immediately.

Indeed, as he said, the Sword Gods are a group of Nefera's true people.

A group of people who became gods and chose force.

"They have many choices when they are promoted to gods. Some of them choose to use swords as weapons throughout their lives and become sword gods. They continue to study the ultimate in swordsmanship during their immortal lives, compete with each other for rankings, and decide who is the best. Strong."

"That's amazing! You are indeed a true citizen of Nefera."

Fami's eyes were full of envy. He must be yearning for this kind of life.

The reason for the rapid desire to become stronger is that one's own strength is insufficient.

"However, the one who can stand at the top of them never takes the initiative."

"Don't take action? Then why can you become stronger?"

"That Lord's name is 'Emerald Heart'. He is at the top of the two hundred and eight sword gods. He is said to be the only one who can fight against the God of War and the God of Illusion."

"So did he challenge those two?"

Fami's reaction was just like his former self, blindly focusing on the results and ignoring the more important process.

Lian shook her head when she thought of this, not only answering Fami but also expressing her own feelings.

"Emerald Heart is very strong. He never takes the initiative, but he never loses. Many sword gods came to challenge him, but Emerald Heart did not accept the challenge. It was not until someone threatened him with despicable means that he took action. The challenger was beaten to pieces. , but afterwards Jade Heart was still neither arrogant nor impatient, and continued to stick to his own territory. Fami, what do you think of him..."

"A genius without ambition?"

Not motivated?This was the first time I heard someone commenting on that gentleman like this. He was so ignorant and fearless.

But Lian thought about it and smiled bitterly, maybe it was true.

But he knew exactly what the sword was, and so did Jade Heart.

"Swords are different from other weapons. They don't have the thickness of an ax or the impact of a hammer. They are just a thin single-edged or double-edged weapon."

"master……"

Lian ignored Fami and continued.

"Every time you cut it, it is worn out. If you don't take good care of it, it will even be difficult to use again. This is a sword... Master Jade Heart is a person who regards himself as a sword. He usually puts it in the sheath and takes good care of the sword body. He is better than others. It is much sharper. For a person with top strength, the less he is seen, the stronger he becomes. He is a famous sword in his own right."

Fami hesitated when he heard this. He didn't understand the purpose of this person named Jade Heart.

Sora has so much power but barely uses it?So why does he want to be a sword god instead of a "shield god" or something else.

I racked my brains and couldn't come up with a suitable answer.

Maybe it's just because I haven't reached his level yet.

But Fami wants to know the answer. As Lian said, for him who is on the rise, the result is more important than anything else.

"Then what is his power for?"

The young man dropped his doubts.

Lian looked at him and then at the sword.

This sword is not suitable for him. He hopes that his apprentice can make good use of it, but now it seems that the time has not come yet.

"You have to ask yourself this question first."

After saying that, Lian put away the black pearl.

The apprentice was left at a loss, and there was no training today.

Only the last words echoed in Fami's mind for a long time.

Chapter 62 62. The other side

People in ragged clothes walked on the road, and the further they went, the more numerous they became.

The rain has stopped dripping, but the road is still wet and muddy, and you can feel yourself sinking into the mud with every step you take.

Ladia and Ollie walked among the crowd. The heavy rain for days had made their hooded cloaks heavy and exuded a rotten smell. The hardship of life outside the palace had already far exceeded that of the eldest princess. imagination, although she is not as pampered as her younger sister.

She insisted on taking steps forward again and again, until her shoes were worn out and the soles of her feet were bleeding, she still refused to stop.

Until I walked into the middle of these people.

Ladia had no choice but to stop.

Looking at the archers on the opposite side who were already guarding the bridge with long bows and the knights on both sides of the gate, she had no choice but to stay on this side of the river with these people.

They stood on the river bank, shouting to the sky and reaching out for help, begging the soldiers on the other side of the city wall to let them pass.

Although Ladia and Ollie did not disregard their dignity as much as they did, they were still troubled by the matter of crossing the river.

It had been a month since the Demon King invaded the palace, but when Ladia came to the southern village, she realized that the destruction of Rod Clossaiint was caused by the Demon King's attack.

The demon king named "Black Shine" is spreading his name to the whole world, and this matter is spreading faster than Ladia's footsteps.

Looking at herself with only a short sword left on her waist, Ladia frowned.

The citrine necklace hanging around her neck was sparkling, and she remembered the last battle in the royal city, where her mother and Catherine protected her with their lives.And she abandoned her armor, and even her beloved sword "Dawn Star" fell into the hands of the demons.

"I'm going to get it back one day."

Hearing Ladia's whisper, Ollie looked up at her.

"Retrieve what, Lettie?"

"Everything lost."
