Home of the Brave

"Dear Miko, are you satisfied with the breakfast provided by this shop?"

Xiao En walked over with a smile on his face, and asked the witch of the wind who had finished breakfast.

"Um, yes... If you add a cup of hot black tea, you should get a passing score, right?"

Miranda's evaluation criteria seem to be extremely strict, and the masterpieces carefully cooked by the poor middle-aged have only just passed the evaluation.

"Yes...Is that so? I will prepare for you immediately..."

"No need." Miranda interrupted Sean, raising her hand for him to sit down and talk. "Let’s put aside the black tea or something, I have more important things to ask you... Yesterday you said that why Xia Luwei stayed in the item shop, no one knows better than you, is it true? "

"Yes...yes, of course." The moustache boss, who was stared at by the Wind Witch, nodded nervously and replied.

"Then, please tell me the details of what happened." Miranda, who requested this, gently touched the crown on his forehead, and looked at the bad middle-aged with a meaningful look. "There is one thing I should tell you first...Although I am not an official witch, but with the power of Albers, I can still do trivial things like telling lies. As for the consequences of lying in front of the gods, that shouldn’t be the case. Need special clarification from me?"

"Good... good." Under the attention of those sky-colored eyes, cold sweat broke out on the bad middle-aged forehead.

Facing the coercion of the **** of storm, Xiao En honestly explained what he knew and the facts he had heard from Dai Yang. From the time Xia Luwei came to Lanlos Town to defeat the Silver Dragon, she was entrusted to **** the tribute to the Dragon Nest. From the battle with the ogres on the way, to the thrill of singles out the butler of the demon clan, and the fact that he became a prisoner of the dragon's nest, was demanded a huge ransom of 200,000, and was finally rescued by Dai Yang, and then stayed in the item shop for a long time.

"...In short, the final outcome is just like you can see. It's really gratifying and gratifying for the two to live together happily."

After a long narration, Sean ended with these words, but his light-hearted attitude aroused the unpleasantness of the Witch Maiden. When the blue pupils full of supernatural power glared over, the bad middle-aged man closed his mouth on the spot, followed but looked at Mianda anxiously, as if he was worried about whether his explanation would satisfy the Miko of Wind.

Ignoring the anxiety of the moustache boss, Miranda pressed her forehead into deep thought, and sorted out what Shaun had said in her head.

Albers' power can indeed help her distinguish between lies and truth, but its application has considerable limitations. To illustrate, simple questions like "yes" or "no" can give 100% accurate answers. However, if more complicated questions are involved, according to the different expressions and comprehension abilities of each person, Albers Misjudgment may occur in the power of the person, so you must use your own wisdom to verify in the end.

"Um..." After thinking for a while, Miranda opened her eyes and said her conclusion. However, it seems to be far from the facts.

"In other words, the man paid a ransom of 200,000 yuan to redeem Xia Luwei, and then used the debt as a threat to force Xia Luwei to marry him... Is that right?"

"Huh? No, that, isn't it like that?" Sean said in a panic.

"No, it's absolutely true." Miranda bit her finger and said in a thoughtful way. "Xia Luwei has the kind of hard-hearted character and doesn't know how to doubt others... That man definitely used the ransom as a threat to make Xia Luwei have to stay in that place... Otherwise, how could Xia Luwei give up so simply? The oath of the revival family!"

"Well, the little one doesn't really know these things..." Seeing the misunderstanding of the Wind Witch getting deeper and deeper, Sean cautiously offered his opinions. "But for Miss Cavaliers, instead of obsessing with difficult things like the Fuxing Family, isn't it a lot happier now?"

"You don't even know!" Miranda glared at it, and the bad middle-aged man fell silent immediately. "How much effort did Xia Luwei put in for her pledge! How much pain she has endured! How could she decide to give up so simply? It was definitely the man who tied her up with debt, otherwise there would be no such thing! "

Speaking of indignation, Miranda couldn't help but patted the table and stood up. Just as responding to the anger of the Witch Maiden, the air flow around Miranda also became intense.

"Also...maybe Miss Miko is right!" Seeing that the hotel was about to be ravaged by an angry storm, Xiao En hurried to fight the fire, trying to divert Miranda's attention. "But what are you going to do?"

"What to do?" Miranda squinted at him.

"Difficult...Are you going to razor that prop store to the ground?" Sean's eyes widened, showing a look of horror on his face.

"...How could I do this?" Miranda frowned in disgust, and then said clearly: "That man bound Xia Luwei, isn't it the ransom of 200,000 lien? Just pay the money back. Give it to him, that is Xia Luwei's freedom to go or leave."

"Speaking... said that, but that is two hundred thousand lienye! Such a huge sum of money..." Seeing such an understatement of the Wind Witch, Sean's chin almost fell to the ground.

"The amount is not a problem, but... I have to complete the task of the temple first, and then I can take the time to go home and get the money." Miranda pressed her forehead and sighed helplessly. "Before that, I can only let Xia Luwei live with that man temporarily..."

Can I get a huge sum of 200,000 lien when I go home just once? Sean couldn't help but be speechless.

Although it has long been known that Miranda was of aristocratic origin, the wealth of his family seems to far exceed the imagination of ordinary people. Compared to Xia Luwei, who was a declining noble, the Witch of the Wind in front of her seemed to write the words "The Lady of the Sky" on her body. It seemed that Miranda seemed to care about female knights very much. It is a rare thing for two girls with such a big difference in family background to establish such a deep bond. Sean couldn't help looking at Miranda quietly, guessing where the two characters have something in common.

"...What are you looking at?" Perceiving the unhealthy middle-aged person's deep gaze, Miranda raised her eyebrows unhappily.

"Uh, dear Miss Miko, may I ask about the mission you just mentioned..." Shaun said cautiously. "Well, is it really still crusade against Silver Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Miranda looked up. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he gently chins his head.

"...Yes, I have to go to Dragon Nest."

※※※

Just as the Witch of the Witch was facing the Frost Mountains and turning her dangerous thoughts, the adventurers who also aimed at the Dragon Nest also began their day's activities.

"Damn it! It's just that kind of shabby lodging, it costs thirty lien for a night! This is nothing short of extortion, extortion!"

Ed, the boss of the true brave group, fiercely raised his **** at the dormitory in the distance.

Yesterday they planned to stay in the "Guest Rain", but they were rejected by the bad middle-aged on the grounds of "disregarding clothes and not accepting them". At the same time, because the number of adventurers pouring into Lanlos Town in the past few days is more than usual, the rest of the accommodations are mostly full. Finally, the three of them managed to find a dormitory with vacant rooms, but they were charged nearly twice the accommodation fee by the wicked owner. It is no wonder that the boss, Ed, could not help complaining.

"That's right! Thirty lien doesn't even provide breakfast, it's a black shop at all!" The second child, Xia De, touched his empty stomach, echoing the boss's statement.

"And the **** mustache yesterday! What is called'disordered clothing'? Can an adventurer with a gentleman temperament like this uncle find a second one in the world?" Recalling the first experience of being rejected, Boss Ai De was even more angry.

"Boss, what about that kind of thing?" Heard, who is probably the only crisis-conscious of the three, asked the most realistic questions with a bitter expression. "The problem now is, our schedule is running out! If you don't want to make money anymore, I am afraid that you won't even be able to drink Northwest Wind tomorrow?"

"What? Didn't you still have a lot left last time?"

"Have you forgotten? Boss. Yesterday we only spent two hundred and sixty lien to buy the big bag of props, and then there is thirty lien's accommodation fee, two of them add up to a huge sum of three hundred lien. . We don’t have much money left in our wallet!"

"...Yes, we bought a lot of things yesterday." Boss Ed scratched his head as if thinking of it. "Huh, this kind of trivial matter doesn't matter! The most important thing is that we got the map to Dragon Nest! Xia De, where's the map?"

"it's here!"

In response to the boss's greeting, the second child Xia De took out a set of scrolls from his arms and slowly unfolded in the sun. The three brains came together and carefully examined the hope that they had exchanged for most of their wallets.

The map is painted on cheap kraft paper, and the texture can only be considered average, but the depiction on it is quite detailed. Not only is the only road from Lanlos Town to Dragon Town clearly drawn, but also the various monsters that may be encountered on the road, the water sources along the way, and the rest places that can be selected are marked one by one. It can be said that as long as there is this map, even a fledgling rookie can find the dragon's nest with his eyes closed. —Although it is completely different whether they can find the Dragon Nest or whether they can return safely from the Dragon Nest, for the true brave group, the hope that this map brings them alone is enough to make up for the efforts of 200 Lien.

"Hmph, after this successful return, we can eat and drink forever." Boss Ed said.

"Yeah, this kind of desolate life of sleeping and wandering around can finally come to an end..." Tears appeared in the eyes of the second child, Xia De.

"Well, isn't it too early to say this...Huh huh?" The third oldest Hurd showed a surprised expression and suddenly floated up looking at the map for no reason.
