Chris's Faith of Fire

But among them was a child named Carter, whose mother had fled from Gilkern and now lived in the town.

After giving her a silver coin she told us that Carter was indeed her child with some demon.

After that, Carter's mother disappeared... silently. Everyone in the town just regarded this incident as a normal disappearance, telling the children that it was the work of a monster. The terrified townspeople realized that it was not my fault. Yes.

The forest to the west is known as a gathering place for monsters, and if you enter without permission, you will never return.

None of this matters, no matter what other people say, I am more concerned about my daughter...

My current body is unable to do anything too difficult, so I move at night.

Did it take me one holy moment or two? I finally arrived at the monastery. I could have reached it in less than a few moments before...

Yvette already lives in the convent, and what she does every day is to play with the orphans. I once peeked at her smile when she treated those children, as if she had returned to the past.

As pure and innocent as an angel...

However, the reality is exactly the opposite of what was expected.

There is a smell left in the monastery. Although I am old, my sense of smell is still sensitive. It is the smell of the dead.

The smell of blood from the dead lingers in the air, not buried but killed.

I came to the cemetery behind the monastery and dug out the newly buried bodies late at night...

Most of them were still in decay, and there were so many of them that I recognized several of them as nuns from the convent.

how come?

If this is true, Yvette can't possibly not know...

In the darkness, I felt that I was being watched by a pair of sharp eyes. The sweating old man ran away before he could bury the body.

The reason why dark magic is considered taboo is because it requires offering human flesh and blood, which is selling the soul to the devil.

I was so horrified that I could no longer get out of bed.

The next day began, Yvette went home.

With the angelic smile she had when she was a child, she took care of me as my life was coming to an end.

Looking out the window, a vicious dog with huge double heads was looking at this side.

My mansion literally became the abode of the devil.

everything is over.

I raised a demon with my own hands!

And I couldn't leave here to tell anyone the news. I once tried to let the white kite fly out, but the giant dog immediately jumped up and ate it.

After glaring at me, he continued to circle around the house like a loyal dog.

Veda, my dear daughter.

Your indifference makes me feel extremely heartbroken...

I don't expect you to use your great power to bring salvation to this land.

I know that my sins are serious, but if you see this notebook, please hide it for future travelers.

Although Yvette is a leech, she is not a born devil.

Neither she nor her orphans were born evil.

If I could give her a little more love and help her not feel lonely, then maybe everything would change.

But now there is no use in saying this...

Angels have become demons.

Yvette's growth was my crime and punishment alone.

However, I cannot allow this demonic army to continue to expand, my friend who saw my last words.

Please note this pattern and be careful with people who have this coat of arms.

Don't use it.

.........

……

This is the end of the long article.

The last paragraph ended very hastily, and even the handwriting became sloppy, probably written when Yvette wasn't paying attention.

It is a long notebook, but it seems to be a microcosm of Riprestel's life.

A little sad, but I don't want to cry.

I felt that it would be rude if I went to see Veda with tears in my eyes.

It was certainly not the tears of strangers that Sir Riprestel longed for.

His wish has been dripped with tears called blood, printed on words written in ink, and every sentence seeps into my heart.

He wrote on it that his life was like the embers of a candlestick that burned all night, with only a spark left.

However, even this trace of Sir Mars was not wasted, and he left the truth to subsequent travelers.

When dealing with such a flame, you must accept it no matter how heavy it is.

This is what Garnet, the princess of the Land of Fire, should do.

Put down your notes and old clothes by yourself.

Let's go down...

Veda was waiting for me there.

◆ ◇

"I read it pretty quickly."

"After all, I received an education from the royal family."

I also plan to tell the truth to Veda, who has no intention of hiding it from me.

"Wang Family Education?"

"That's right, I am Crystal Lubielle Macefield, the second princess of Garnet. Rodculosaint has been destroyed, and I came to this border town of Rosa Town to escape. Please give me some advice, Veda..."

Veda smiled after hearing my introduction.

"I see, I've heard of it a little bit, Huhu~~ The Crystal Princess of the Land of Fire. Then Veda should introduce herself again, Veda Pearl Riprestel... Now that I've finished reading the notes There’s no need to explain more.”

"But there's something I still don't understand."

"But it doesn't matter, as long as I can answer..."

"Wait first..."

"as you like."

Veda spread her hands and stood in the corridor of the dungeon without getting her feet dirty at all.

Although the ground was damp, there was no stain at all. She must have cleaned it with water magic just now.

But the rancid smell is still very serious.

I didn't go deeper inside just now, but now I roughly understand the reason why she wanted me to come to the dungeon to find her.

So I walked forward, and Veda, who realized my purpose, stepped out of the way and followed me just one step away.

"Are you sure you want to watch it? It's not okay to scream on the rocky mountain like that day."

It turns out that she saw what happened when she first entered the town. It was really embarrassing.

But this time it was different. I didn't move forward out of curiosity.

With every step I took, I could feel the rotten smell getting worse and worse. I was dominated by uneasiness until I reached the iron fence that was almost completely rusted.

When I faced the inside of the cell, Veda sighed.

No wonder...

The rotten corpses gathered into a hill, their bodies turned green, and some of them were enlarged, which was extremely unpleasant.

It's scary, that's my first thought.

I didn't dare to take a second look.

That scene has been burned into my retinas, scarier than any horror movie.

You may never forget it in this lifetime.

I turned to leave.

"No more questions?"

I looked at Veda behind me...

She stood there calmly, as if she was used to this scene.

"...Are you helping her too?"

"If I have to say it, then it is indeed the case at the moment."

"Then why did you show me that notebook?"

"Because Chris wants to know the truth."

"If I said I was going to stop Yvette, my companions would be in danger now."

Vida shook her head leisurely.

"Everyone except orphans is in danger. Veda doesn't think Chris can do anything, but if you insist on stopping her... then..."

Halfway through, she stood up straight.

As mentioned in the notes, her red hair started to float from the ends and slowly turned silver...

The sapphire earrings on both ears shone with light.

It made her blue eyes look even deeper.

After the transformation, Veda first unbuttoned her blouse, and her huge breasts popped out, but what attracted attention was something else.

The blue coat of arms was so obvious between her breasts.

"Chris and Veda are the same, right?"

It turned out that this was what she meant when she took off her top that day. Really, it would be better if she just said it.

Now I feel my blood boiling, and the guy inside me is about to wake up.

"I'm not as powerful as you. It seems that you have completely mastered the power of the elf Undine. Can I surrender in advance?"

Veda shrugged.

"Vida has no intention of fighting Chris. Originally, it would have been nice if we could sit on the sofa and chat, but if you have to take Yvette's life, I can only do this. If Chris wants to surrender, How about just putting yourself back in the cell?”

"I reject!"

It was as if some switch had been turned on.

Incredibly, I am now confident in taking action.

Was Salamander inspired by Undine to start his activities?

This resonance-like feeling gradually penetrated into my five senses.

The field of vision is expanded, the hearing is sharper, and even the body is so light that it almost floats.

I seem to have entered a new world that I usually don't feel.

"Haha, Chrissy's hair color has become the same as mine~~ Now that she's awakened, she'll probably be able to have fun."

I looked at my hanging hair. It was as scarlet as blood, and it began to grow longer, returning to the same length as before.

Looking at his chest through the collar, a crest slightly different from Veda's appeared there.

"Vida, what are people like us usually called?"

The girl frowned in surprise. Maybe it was the first time she heard this question.

"Well, it seems there is no definite name. Humans who can use magic are called wizards, and demons who can use magic are called demons. But what should we call creatures that can use magic but are not human beings? It seems that no one has unified the name, but If I had to say it, it would probably be..."
