Chris's Faith of Fire

Haggar complained that he could be forgiven for being burdened with luggage all the time.

"Four people need two horses, and there is no inn here. Money alone cannot buy horses at this time."

Lian said calmly, then reached out and took a heavier luggage from Hager.

"Ah, thank you, boss~~"

"No need, it's almost the end..."

"what?"

Just when Haggar was puzzled by Lian’s words, Fami and I cast our sights on the mountains in the distance.

From the canyon we saw the archers with their strings fully drawn.

Lian raised his hands, and I followed his example to show no hostility.

It turns out that this is probably the fortress of Feiya Mountain. Looking ahead, the rock-built fortress already stands impressively on the mountainside.

.........

……

"Are you mercenaries?"

"That's right my lord."

Looking at Lian's slender figure, the guarding knight didn't seem to want to believe it at all.

"Do you have an ID tag?"

"some."

Lian took out an oval-shaped metal plate. It turned out that mercenaries still need this kind of thing.

But since they will be bound by the contract, this is natural.

"Well, that's right...you brought a lot of people."

"It's just the entourage and a few kids."

"Forget it, let's go~"

"By the way, sir, do you know the situation of Duke Sajavir? I came here just after hearing about his summons."

The knight looked at him with disdain and spat disdainfully.

"Don't think too much, go to the mercenary station in the town to gather first! Don't you understand that you motley crew can only make up the numbers at best? Do you still want to ask to see the Duke? We shouldn't have accepted you Garnets in the first place. refugee!"

"What are you talking about... um!"

Haggar wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Lian.

The young man leaned over and apologized.

"Sorry, I asked unnecessary questions."

"Okay, okay, get out of here."

Whether it was Fami or Hager, they who had clenched their fists just now fell silent and became silent.

We left the fortress like we were running away with our tail between our legs, and until the end we could still hear the soldiers’ laughter echoing in the valley...

"Thank you for holding back, that's great."

"It's okay. After all, it is an important choice in the princess's life, right?"

"Um……"

I nodded slightly.

I could sleep in the hotel again at night. I heard that the Duke's mansion was in a forest in the distance. There was no need to go through those unknown knights to ask for permission.

Just go for it.

Although my body is exhausted.

The next morning, we set out on our journey early.

There were guards patrolling the woodland leading to the mansion, and Ren led us over the obstacle.

It's getting closer.

My heart was pounding, I don’t know whether it was anticipation or nervousness, maybe just shame.

Finally, we arrived in front of the manor with neatly trimmed trees. When I could hear the sound of a boy swinging his sword in the distance, the three men stopped walking forward.

I finally understand...

The time to part has finally come.

"I will soon be able to live the life of a young lady again."

Hager still spoke in a mocking tone.

"I hope you can live a healthy life. If you need help, go to the mercenary station. There are ways to contact mercenary stations even if you are in other places."

Lian carried out his maturity and gentleness to the end.

"Chris...you...no, nothing. See you again if we are destined."

Fami hesitated to speak, simply said goodbye and turned around to leave.

I'm a little reluctant to let go, but can you let them... no, at least let Fami stay here?

I thought about this problem yesterday, but such a thing is tantamount to trampling on the dignity of the wolf boy in front of me.

Looking at the engagement ring on my ring finger, I didn't know what to say.

"Thank you so much."

In the end, there is only a simple thank you.

"Go and get happiness..."

After Haggar finished speaking, the three people left.

I watched them leave at a slightly slower pace than when they came, and I felt a little sad.

Yes, it's all over.

Noelle is right there. I just need to call out his name and he will run over, although it is unclear whether he still remembers the engagement.

But everything has been decided, right?

Then don't be afraid.

I walked gently towards the inside of the manor and looked at the boy's back.

He is the same as before, but he seems to have grown up a bit after a year.

The muscles in his arms gradually became more obvious, and his body became much stronger.

It does seem to be growing, which is great.

He is really focused on training.

Seeing the sweat on the boy's head at the end, I couldn't help but smile.

If you turn around too much, you might want to attract his attention.

But I was never found in the end.

How did you spend this year?

Her Royal Highness the Princess' dream was shattered, she was surrounded by suspicions, she had seen the death of her friends, and she was wandering on the border of Garnet.

But if this is the fate I have to accept, I will challenge him head on.

I will walk this path of Asura alone without anyone's help.

Because my opponent has proven my weakness.

"We will definitely meet again, when I become stronger..."

My right hand reached to the ring finger of my left hand and took off the ring I had worn there for the past year.

Carefully placed on the wooden fence of the estate.

Volume [-] The Sinless Son END

Chapter 78 78. The Guided One

The Imperial Darvasa Caves are located in the southernmost part of this country with a strong military power, also known as the end of the world.

It is said that it was formed by lightning falling from the gods on the ground in the second era. Since then, this cave has been connected to the demon world, and demons will fly out from there from time to time.

However, since the hole is not too big, it cannot allow the army to pass through, and the empire has deployed its first-line elites here to defend against the demons' attacks all year round.

The soldiers who defended the Darvasa potholes were brave and skilled in fighting, and their legacy has been passed down from generation to generation. It has a history of more than 2000 years.

But don't praise them as elites in front of them, especially when compared with the Royal Knights of other countries. Those guys might smash such people into meat pies with their war hammers.

"Don't compare me to those sissies who eat the queen's breasts. We are the strongest warriors among humans!"

Although he is arrogant and domineering, he has the capital to say so.As they say, only this group of people can defend the pit for 2000 years without losing it. If it were any country's knights who defended it, they would definitely be defeated by the scattered demons.

"We have different physiques from those guys. We are born to be an excellent race. We actually look like the same human beings, but they are actually far different."

Because the Darvasa pit communicates with the demon world and demons are killed all year round, a huge amount of mana accumulates on this land. Under the influence of mana, people become stronger physically and have clearer minds.

It is difficult for humans to survive under high concentrations of Mana, not only for physiological reasons, but also for high-level monsters that are born with Mana. However, the people of the Empire survived strongly. In this country, strength is paramount.

When the old and new emperors alternate, the new emperor must cut down the old emperor in the arena to be qualified to succeed.

The goddess Nefera is not the main belief. The gods of war and illusions with the strongest names are worshiped by the warriors of the empire, and the warriors of the Darvasa pit are therefore called "Gladius".

Today, their defenses are still tight, keeping an eye on the demons that may emerge from the pits at any time.

"Have you heard that the Demon King has invaded the continent from the north?"

The warrior tapped his already stiff back with his war hammer and chatted with other warriors.

The soldier rolled his eyes at him and continued to look at the pothole.

"Fortunately he didn't come out of this hole, otherwise he would have been stuck in it."

"I'm not joking, it seems like it's called 'Hei Yao' or something."

"This name sounds very girly. Does the Demon King also have **?"

"Ah, maybe it's still very white, otherwise why would it be called Yao~~ Take off the black armor to reveal your fair **."

The warrior with the warhammer drooled in a manner that his companions despised.

"If you want to find a woman, go back quickly. This is where warriors stay."

"It's just a casual chat. By the way, you're not married yet, right?"

"There is no need... I don't know when I will die."

"That's right. Why are you here? To be promoted? Or to be a hero."

Their conversations are always so direct, eliminating unnecessary complicated etiquette and probing questions, but asking questions from the deepest place of the other person's desires.

There is no such thing as a person without desires, and he understands this very well. The thoughts of high-sounding people are the most terrifying.

The soldier glanced at him, looked at the pothole in the distance, and raised his eyebrows.

"Kill monsters, preferably demons! I can use an ax to tear their dirty skin, slit their abdomen and pull out their intestines. I feel happy when I see them flowing with the same blood as humans! This is what I want That’s all.”

"Hahahahahaha."

He laughed, and the sound seemed to have reached the mine, and then turned into an echo and came back.

The sound almost blocked what they were supposed to hear.

Wow~~Wow~~

I have heard the sound of the demon's wings flapping many times.

It wasn't until the sound was loud enough that the workers at the pit could hear it that they followed the sound to the sky and saw the figure of the man.

A young man with slightly curly brown hair wearing ordinary traveler clothes was floating there, but what was different from ordinary people was that he had a pair of long horns on his head, two black wings on his back, and an arrow-shaped tail floating in the air as if for Control the balance.

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense, there is a demon! The humanoid form with wings and horns is the Abyss clan! All on alert!"
