Home of the Brave

From the encounter between Sari City and the jealous demon, to the attack of the cannibal crow at the heavenly election ceremony...

From the sneaky man in black to the large number of murder weapons hidden on the Flying Dragon battleship...

From hunting monsters in the Valley of the Raven King, to meeting Aretha at the top of the stone tower...

Dai Yang told Xia Luwei and Miranda about the encounters after arriving in the city of Sari. Of course, out of consideration of family harmony, he omitted some of the discordant processes, and under Miranda’s intense questioning, especially A detailed account of the various things that happened on the stone tower.

Whether it was the jail demon who caused the riots being imprisoned to purgatory, or the fact that the sky spear Ganggnier was acquired by the violent maiden, the two girls who heard about it for the first time were extremely shocked. However, what really evokes their strong anger is the despicable deeds of High Priest Bloom.

Earlier, Dai Yang learned from the Karan guards that Afra and Aretha, who had been used by Bloom, were the daughters of Charles, the warrior captain of the Karan tribe. They were born as twins, once regarded by the tribe as an ominous omen, and were expelled from the tribe after the death of Shire. The sisters who wandered in the wilderness were picked up by Bloom accidentally and adopted, and returned to the Karan tribe after they grew up.

Afrah became the chief warrior of the Karan tribe, and Aretha assumed the position of a witch. Both of them are outstanding figures. The people of the Karan tribe have high hopes for them, but who knows they ended up like this. Judging from Dai Yang’s experience, Bloom’s adoption of the Avra ​​sisters was at the very beginning. Don't have good intentions, otherwise you won't just abandon Afrah as a pawn.

"...In other words, Afra and Aresa are just using it. The real villain is the guy named Bloom!"

After listening to Dai Yang's narration, Miranda came to this conclusion.

"There is such a wicked person in the world..." Even Xia Luwei was angry at hearing it. "It's unforgivable to trample on the fetters of the sisters!"

"That's right! Swear in the name of my **** Albers, and let the hammer of sanction fall on the head of the blasphemer!" Miranda said excitedly and stood up.

"Let's go!"

"Go... right?" Dai Yang blinked suspiciously. "Where to go?"

"Of course it is to fight against Bloom! That kind of guy, let him live an extra day is a blasphemy against the gods!"

"Hello, Miss, didn't you hear what I just said?" Dai Yang scratched his head in distress. "If I could conquer, I would have gone! But Bloom's strength is not a joke! Aretha has been completely controlled by Bloom. The sky spear she holds is a legendary holy weapon, comparable to the dragons. The terrifying power of ah! This alone is troublesome enough, plus those fanatics who blew up at every turn, and assassins hiding in the sky and shooting cold arrows...If you just go to the challenge, the result is likely to be your own life. Lose it all."

"What! Do you want to watch them slip away?" Miranda shook her head dissatisfied.

"So! Aren't we discussing countermeasures?" Dai Yang said to the witch. "Don't just complain, and use your brain to think of a solution."

"Um, I know... I know." Miranda calmed down and tried to suggest: "I think about it, since Skyspear Gangnir is a holy artifact of the Wing Human Race, then try to summon Wings in the name of regaining the Sky Spear. How about the warriors of the human tribe forming a crusade?"

"The arena and the Valley of the Raven King have exhausted the fighting power of the Winged Human Race. The rest is either injured or disabled, and it is not useful at all."

"Then... how about dispatching the Valkyrie? Since Musa's warrior captain is so powerful, it should be able to contain Aresa and let the Valkyrie team block the fanatics, we will take the opportunity to eliminate Bloom..." Miranda actively planned the crusade. , But Dai Yang next to him poured cold water.

"The question is, how do you dispatch the Valkyrie?" Dai Yang said with a shrug. "The Valkyrie team is the personal guard directly under the emperor. No one has ordered them except the emperor. Now they have been recalled to the Frost Palace. Even if they rushed to visit Tonoin right away, it would be impossible for the distant water to save the nearby fire. I won't wait obediently."

"Um..." Miranda bit her lip and lost her temper. "Nor! That won't work either! Then what do you want to do?"

"It is because I have thought about these proposals, so I can point out the problems." Dai Yang explained with a wry smile, but caught a glimpse of Xia Luwei next to her looking out the window with an absent-minded expression, frowning. "Xia Luwei, you have to think too!"

"Ah? Yes...Yes." The female knight straightened her posture as if she was taken aback, but the fasting sound of cooing came from her stomach. Dai Yang was stunned when she heard it, and saw Xia Luwei lower her head embarrassedly, staring at the ground under her feet, blushing as if she was about to bleed.

"I, I'm also hungry." Miranda sheltered her friend very righteously, but it was not entirely an excuse for the female knight. "We took a pontoon to Saari City in the morning, and then we were looking for a hotel without time to eat, so... well, this kind of reaction is normal."

"Hey, you said it earlier..." Dai Yang scratched his head, condemning his carelessness. "My father always teaches me that it is a heinous thing to make my daughter-in-law hungry... Let's go, I am actually hungry a long time ago. Let's go down and have a good meal."

※※※

A generous piece of fresh venison is fried until it is eighty mature, sprinkled with a secret sauce with expensive spices, served with a hot tomato soup, and a vegetable salad adorned with Amaterasu's specialty vermilion fruit-even if it is in ancient times The luxurious restaurant in Lambert’s capital will not look shabby with three signature set meals, which the owner personally brings to the three of them.

Miranda, a daughter of the Duke, expressed satisfaction with the owner's service, while the female knight looked at the luxurious meals on the table with a worried expression.

"Yang, is it okay to order so many?" She asked the man.

"It's okay, it's okay." Dai Yang said boldly. "Thanks to the blessing of the heaven election ceremony, I made a lot of money this time, so don't care about this little money at all."

"That's good..." Xia Luwei pressed her chest and exhaled gently. With that lovely appearance, Dai Yang couldn't help but squeeze her cheek with her hand.

"Hmm!" At this time, Miranda on the other side coughed to remind relatives and friends. "Xia Luwei, you can't be fooled by his rhetoric to the donkey! There are still many strange things in the explanation just now. We have to ask questions after the matter is over."

"...Strange place?" The female knight tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, such as the thing about the warrior of Musa, the thing about the bloodwing of Karan, and the thing about the jealousy..." The maiden cut the venison steak in front of her with a knife and fork, while staring at the meal over there with a sharp stare. man. "It was only two weeks apart, and I had trouble with so many women... If you are not careful, you won't know when you will be abandoned."

"Um...cough! Cough! Cough!"

Dai Yang, who was drinking the soup, was suddenly choked. The female knight slapped him on the back in a hurry. She still coughed for several times before relieving her breath, but looked at the witch with a dumbfounded expression. "Hey, don't say this kind of thing as if it's true! I didn't come to Saari City for a trip. Just eliminating the deficit would be enough for me. Where is there time to mess with flowers?"

"Huh, who knows..." Miranda cast a questioning look. "Anyway, waiting for things to come to an end, you have to explain those things to us clearly."

"...Yes, Miss." Dai Yang raised his hand and surrendered. "I will explain it to you in the future. For now, let's find a way to deal with Bloom first..."

"I know." Miranda forked a small piece of deer platoon and put it into her mouth, speaking vaguely. "Think about it when you're full..."

Seeing that the storm subsided, Dai Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He lowered his head to enjoy the meal intently, but unexpectedly heard the female knight next to him let out a small exclamation. He turned his head in confusion, and saw Xia Luwei looking at the direction of the store entrance with a surprised expression.

"Boss, you said our luggage should still be there?"

"Of course! It is the duty of the store owner to keep the luggage for the passengers when they go out! Otherwise, we will ask for compensation!"

"Ah, let's eat first instead of luggage! Eat! I've been locked in that bird cage for a week, eating the bird food every day, the smell of bird is almost fading out of my mouth!"

"Hmm! That's right, eat first! If you can't hand over luggage or something, then we just don't have to pay!"

"Oh! You deserve to be the boss, that's a good idea!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Dai Yang dumbly looked at the entrance of the hotel, and saw three men dressed as adventurers walking towards this side. The armors and weapons on their bodies were still intact, but they looked like they had crawled out of a garbage dump, and there was a faint smell that made the nearby tourists frown and dodge.

"Why are those three idiots here? And still... that kind of ghost?"

Miranda blinked and looked at the adventure team known as the "True Brave Team" in confusion.

"Uh, maybe it's a bad year..." Dai Yang shrugged and tried to pretend that he didn't know them.

When the men in black made trouble in Saari City, the three were taken as scapegoats and arrested by the security team due to the jokes of the demon. Since then, there has been no news. Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they had just been released from the guard room. Since Dai Yang had a similar experience, he felt exceptionally sympathetic to the experience of the three.

"Damn! Those **** security teams caught the wrong person and didn't apologize for causing us to miss the election ceremony. How do you plan to compensate for this loss?" The boss Eddy complained and sat down at the table against the wall. , And shouted loudly for the owner to bring food up.

"That is, I had a chance to win the sky spear, but in the end I didn't even see the shadow of Gangnier..." The second child Xia De sat down and sighed very depressed. "Boss, we have suffered a heavy loss this time, and we have to find a way to make up for it."

"I heard that Gangnir was snatched by the Oberstein Empire, and the Winged Human Race is planning to take it back..." The third oldest Hurd gave an opinion cautiously. "Look, boss, do we have a chance to go now?"

"Oberstein Empire? How to go?" Boss Ed rolled his eyes and said angrily. "We don't have much left for the travel expenses. If we don't want to get a vote as soon as possible, let alone go to the Oberstein Empire, we don't know if we can go back to Gulambel..."

"Also... too..." The third oldest Hurd lowered his head in frustration.
