Home of the Brave

When Dai Yang brought Ji Yao back to the hotel, the ominous shadow behind Ji Yao had disappeared without a trace, but somehow fell into a high fever and coma.

An astonishing high fever emanated from Ji Yao, completely unlike ordinary illnesses. Dai Yang knew nothing about the physiology of monsters, so he had to turn to Medusa, who was knowledgeable. On Medusa’s suggestion, Dai Yang placed Ji Yao on the bed in the room, and then found melted snow water to scrub her body, and put a towel soaked in snow water on her forehead to lower her body temperature... …After a busy day like this, when the next day was approaching noon, Ji Yao’s rising body temperature finally stabilized.

"Hey, it finally came down..."

Dai Yang withdrew his hand from Ji Yao's forehead, took out the towel from the basin with ice cubes, wrung it out, and put it on Ji Yao's forehead.

"Medusa, how are you looking at her?"

Dai Yang asked Medusa on his shoulders.

At this time, Medusa was only about the size of a palm, showing a cute shape with a big head and a small body. According to her own statement, this is the "sub-summoning" form of the demon. Although the underdog in this state cannot exert its true strength, it has the characteristics of convenient movement and high concealment—in fact, Ya Summoning is a technique that Medusa recently taught Dai Yang, for which he I have also received Medusa's eyes, saying that as the hostess, he asked Professor Demon to drive the demon, which is unheard of.

"Let me see..."

The palm-sized snake demon jumped from the shoulder of the waiter onto the bed, and then carefully checked before Ji Demon's sleeping face, and made such a diagnosis.

"Well, the frenzied evil spirit has almost subsided, and then just a normal fever."

"In other words, there is no serious problem?" Dai Yang confirmed.

"Yes." Medusa nodded. "You can't die if you leave it alone. If you want to recover earlier, you can drink some herbs to reduce fever."

"That's it..." Dai Yang exhaled after hearing her answer, and then asked again.

"Speaking of which, does this kind of situation often occur in demons? I mean, situations where demons like this are out of control."

Ming Ye’s high fever and coma were diagnosed by Medusa as a physiological disorder caused by the out-of-control demon qi. The demon energy is the source of the demon power, but if the demon energy displayed exceeds its own control limit, it will cause a crisis of the demon energy out of control and runaway. Under normal circumstances, the easiest way to cause the evil spirit to lose control is when the "engraving" true power is used-"engraving" is the most powerful and secretive power of the monster, and the true power of the "celestial devil's ecstasy" not long ago is jealous in one fell swoop. After the sisters Afra and Aretha, Medusa speculated that it was this incident that caused the jealousy to get out of control.

"...For higher-level demons, it is not so common for demons to lose control." Little Medusa sat cross-legged on the pillow, looking at the sleeping Ji demons with solemn eyes. "The higher-level monsters have a perfect grasp of their own power, and they know very well where their limits are. Even if they want to use the engraving, they will never let their power go beyond the boundaries. On the contrary, the lower-level monsters and the new-born monsters, because they cannot fully grasp their own. Power, squandering at will, it is easy to get out of control of the evil spirit."

"That's it..." Dai Yang's gaze also moved to Ji Yao. "In other words, she should be a superior demon, right?"

"...I can't be sure." Medusa shook her head and gave an unexpected answer. "You have also seen that the engraving power she has, even the strong like Karan's bloodwing can't resist. In addition, she also has extremely powerful physical abilities, plus that The demon sword of Mingluo. This strength has surpassed the level of the superior demon, and has almost reached the level of the king.... In fact, I doubt that a high-ranking power like her will make a low-level mistake that makes the demon out of control? "

"Original, that's the case." Dai Yang nodded. "However, her illness was caused by the out-of-control demon energy, what happened to that dark shadow?"

"Dark shadow? What dark shadow?" Medusa was startled when she heard the words.

"That's the black shadow that appeared when she passed out? I've seen it several times before..." Dai Yang re-described the situation at the time.

"...But I didn't see such a dark shadow." After listening to that, Medusa said with a puzzled expression, and said in a deep voice, "I am your demon. I should be able to see what you see. I can be sure that her illness is caused by the out-of-control demon, and you said that when she saw the black shadow the first two times, she didn't feel anything abnormal... Thinking about it this way, could it be that you read it wrong?"

"Well, it's not impossible..." Dai Yang scratched his head and said without confidence.

"...Leave aside this matter for the time being. I am puzzled, but there is another thing." Medusa looked at Ji Yao again and confirmed that she was still asleep. The reason for this is because she had set off a hunting frenzy in the northern borders. During that period, nearly a hundred monster lords died in her hands, and they were all taken away from the monster soul jade.... The monster soul jade is the soul of the monster. The crystallization of, is also a shortcut for monsters to increase their power, but she clearly has more power than the higher-level monsters, so why do she still want to do something meaningless like this?"

Having said that, Medusa shook her head in distress. "I have been thinking about it, but I still don't understand what she wants to do after collecting so many demon soul jade."

"Even if you ask, I don't know..." Dai Yang shrugged helplessly. "When she wakes up, ask her personally, but she probably won't say it?"

"That's not necessarily." A smile appeared on the face of the little Medusa. "Siruda, even those who are afraid of monsters are favored by you... Maybe, my lord is the kind of person who is easily loved by monsters. This can be regarded as a charm in another sense. force?"

"...I'm not at all happy to be said by you." Dai Yang replied depressedly, then turned his head and looked out the window.

It was already noon the next day, and after a busy day without dripping in, he was feeling the emptiness of his stomach.

"I'll go out to eat something first, and buy some herbs by the way... By the way, can ordinary anti-fever medicines work?"

"Yeah, you can." Medusa looked at Ji Yao as if pointedly. "In fact, apart from being able to drive demons, the body structure of demons is not much different from that of pan-human races. In theory, it is completely possible to breed offspring between each other, so my lord can rest assured."

"...What does it matter to me?" Dai Yang rolled his eyes, stood up and stretched. "All in all, you take care of this guy for me first, and I'll be back when I go out and buy some medicine."

※※※

There are special medicine shops in towns of the size of Sari City. After leaving the "Homing Bird", Dai Yang went there to grab a few packs of herbs to reduce fever, and then went to the market to stroll around.

Because of the previous riot of the cannibal crows, the arena of the heavenly election ceremony was temporarily suspended, and it is still unknown whether it will restart. Dai Yang's hopes of making a fortune from the dark market have basically been wiped out. Therefore, to solve the deficit crisis, he must find another way to make money.

Travelers from all over the world have left Sari City one after another, but the market did not seem much deserted. The reason is that the Wingers, who were keen on the selection ceremony a while ago, set up their stalls again at this time to replace the traveling merchants who left and sell products with the unique flavor of the Wings.

Dai Yang passed by a barbecue stall, and the plump mutton was sprinkled with the vanilla seasoning unique to the bell grassland, exuding a strong meaty fragrance, making his saliva flow up in a flash.

Dai Yang took out a few copper plates on the spot, bought ten skewers of roast lamb, and ordered the store to serve a bowl of hot sesame oil, and then found a seat to sit down and eat. Since yesterday morning and evening, he hasn't eaten almost anything. At this moment, a few skewers of grilled mutton are on his stomach, and his frozen body suddenly becomes alive. He gasped, ate two more skewers of roast lamb, and drank the sesame oil in one gulp. When he was about to order another bowl of the store, he was suddenly tapped on his shoulder.

"Little San?"

Dai Yang turned his head and saw two winged girls standing behind him. Because they were not wearing ordinary armor, but plain clothes, it took a few seconds for Dai Yang to recognize them.

"...Katyuya? Esther?"

He called out the names of the two Valkyries, and then noticed the bamboo baskets they were holding in their hands. I saw many small toys from my daughter's house in the bamboo basket, which seemed to be the spoils of visiting the market.

"Long time no see, don't you need to be on duty today?" He greeted the two.

"Today we have a rest." Katyuya with green hair replied, showing a happy look. "After being taught by Yuna last time, the troublemakers seem to have settled down a bit in the past two days, so the commander specially arranged for us to take a day off, which can be regarded as a reward for our fighting in the last cannibal incident."

"In fact, Sister Ada was also scheduled to take a vacation, but she went to the guard station earlier this morning." Esther fiddled with her short pink hair and said with some regret.

"Ahhh, Ida is the kind of person who can't be idle... By the way, don't stand, sit down and talk first." Dai Yang greeted the two girls to sit next to him, and greeted the store with three bowls of sesame oil tea. , And then continued the topic. "So, because it's a rare vacation, did you come to the market to hang out?"

"Um... uh, yes, that's the case." For some reason, Katyuya replied slightly.

"Little San, let me ask, have you seen a purple-haired boy recently?" Esther interrogated him.

"Huh? Zi... the purple-haired son?" Dai Yang's hand shook, he almost spilled the tea from the bowl, and then pretended to be immersed in tea, while carefully asking: "Well, are you guys? Are you looking for someone? But purple hair seems to be rare. Are there any other characteristics?"

"His eyes are also purple, like a mysterious violet-like color. They are very special, as long as they have seen them, they will never forget them." Esther added.

"Purple hair and purple eyes? Uh, this seems to be even rarer, I don't seem to have seen it before..." Dai Yang scratched his head and showed a confused expression, but his heart jumped wildly involuntarily. Speaking of this level, you can almost guess who Esther and the others are looking for with their toes. Dai Yang immersed himself in a cup of tea and prayed not to be recognized by the Valkyrie.
