Home of the Brave

"...Hey, it's you guys?"

After seeing the person coming in, Dai Yang showed a cold expression.

"Hello, is this your attitude toward customers?"

The person who came in was Dean. The guard captain with a burly physique, dissatisfiedly accused the owner of neglecting the guests.

"Long-winded! Even customers are divided into many types, and your guy's contribution to turnover is simply negative!"

Dai Yang said this, and then noticed that the guard captain in front of him was not wearing the full armor as usual, and he was taken aback for a moment. "What? Are you on vacation today?"

"Yeah, but only for a long time..." Dean sighed and walked over, then sat down unceremoniously and complained indifferently. "You should know? Because the kingdom has issued a crusade order, more and more adventurers have come to town recently, putting a lot of pressure on the security team to maintain law and order... plus the monsters in the Frost Mountains. Gradually entering an active period, both here and there are severely understaffed. I haven't had time to go home for dinner for a long time."

"Yeah, that's really hard work." Dai Yang's voice is not so much sympathy, it is more gloating than misfortune.

"Speaking of which, where is our Miss Knight? Isn't there?" Dean looked into the item shop with expectant eyes.

"What Xia Luwei said, I just went out." At this point, Dai Yang couldn't help looking at him suspiciously.

"...By the way, it's a rare vacation, why don't you accompany your wife at home, why are you running here?"

"Nothing, am I helping my wife to run errands?" Dean said with the bamboo basket in his hand and a list.

"According to the above things, I will get a copy, which is troublesome."

"...You fellow, you are not at all polite."

Dai Yang took the list impatiently, and saw that it was almost full of salt, pepper and so on. Daily supplies like this kind of meager profit are the homework that the "Cemetery of the Brave" must complete every month. The young shopkeeper has already lost his resistance to this, and with a weak sigh, he turned to prepare the things on the glass house order. .

On the other hand, Dean sat at the counter, patrolled around with a leisurely gaze, and then commented.

"It's still the same here, there are no guests..."

"There will be soon!" Dai Yang threw the prepared things on the counter, and cast a fierce look at the guard captain.

"You fellow, are you here to interfere with business?"

"Hey, it's okay. I just want to say, there are no guests anyway, why don't we take the opportunity to'make a game'?"

The security captain rubbed his fingers, showing an itchy appearance, but Dai Yang frowned hesitantly.

"Hey, it's the official business hours of the'Cemetery of the Brave' anyway, if there are customers coming..."

"It's okay, we'll just get off here without delaying the business. Besides... Hey, what do you think this is?"

Dean Yin smiled and quietly pulled out a bottle of wine from his arms, while Dai Yang's eyes were magnified several times in an instant, and his voice was full of incredible surprise.

"This... is this..."

"Yes, on the way here, I sneaked up to'Liu Ke Yu' to touch a bottle."

"Oh! Is it Bordeaux? Well, wait!"

Dai Yang got excited, turned around and walked into the shop. When he came out, he held two cups in one hand and a chessboard in the other, and immediately assumed a posture on the counter.

What needs to be explained here is that the chessboard that Dai Yang took out was not a game originating from the mainland of Palamia, but an oriental chess handed down from the Divine Continent of China. When Daddy Dai settled down in Lanlos Town, he once carved out a chess set using elves and sacred trees as materials, and promoted this hobby in Lanlos Town. This game, which contains ancient wisdom and battlefield strategies, quickly gained the love of small town residents, and the guard captain in front of them was a serious obsession.

But obsession is obsessed, chess art belongs to chess art. If judged by the standards of the Middle-earth China, the guard captain is probably just barely out of the "novice" level. On the other hand, Dai Yang, who claims to have received "The True Biography of the Dai Family", is actually not so good to go there. All in all, the two players' chess skills are balanced on a very low standard, and it can be said that they are equally good opponents.

As for playing drunken chess while tasting delicious wine like this, it is a pastime created by the two, and the Tibetan wine of "Liu Ke Yu" has become the biggest victim of this type of leisure sports.

"Huhu, that guy Shaun has also learned how to behave. He has changed several places to hide the wine, but he can't fool the nose of the police dog...Come on, let's start."

"You guy, did you even use a police dog to steal alcohol? It's so utterly conscience..."

Dean couldn't wait to set up the chess pieces, Dai Yang first poured himself a glass of Bordeaux, and then focused on the chessboard.

"Huh, this is the convenience of being a security captain! As long as you say that you are going to patrol, no one will doubt... well, advance."

"Then what, if you tell Sean that his hidden wine is missing like this, maybe you will put a few traps in the wine cellar next time... flying cannons."

"Hey, it's okay. As long as we wipe out the evidence here, it will be unknowingly... Hengche."

"That's right, that guy is self-sufficient anyway. But the taste of Bordeaux is really good... Well, Pegasus."

"...Hey, you fellow, don't drink so fast, give me the bottle."

"Tsk, stingy guy..." Dai Yang stared at Bordeaux, who was held in his arms by the guard captain, with a dissatisfied gaze. At this time, Dean suddenly changed the subject, who was thinking about the next step.

"By the way, speaking of it, how do you plan to house our Miss Cavalier?... Get in the car."

"...How to arrange it?" Dai Yang was stunned. "Didn't Xia Luwei live well here?... Retreat."

"Idiot, I don't mean this." Dean thought for a while before continuing. "I mean, you don't want her to stay in the prop store as a signage girl all her life, do you?"

"Ah, I haven't thought about this issue yet..." Dai Yang scratched his head and ate one of Dean's "pawns." "What? You don't think it works?"

"It's not impossible. But compared to the kanban girl in the prop store, I think there should be a better job for her, right?"

"Well, let's say?"

"For example, the deputy captain of the Lanlos Town Garrison, how about this position?" Dean let the "car" drive straight in, attacked Dai Yang's hinterland, and offered his own opinions.

"When I dealt with the ogres a while ago, I had already seen her sword skills, and she had no problems with her strength. And I heard that she still graduated from Gulambel’s Royal Academy, and I’m afraid she’s better at military matters than ours. There are many hillbillies, right? In addition, they are beautiful. If she is the deputy captain, I believe those gangsters will definitely be obedient."

"...You mean, let me send my wife to a group of bad guys?" Dai Yang showed a disgusting expression on the spot.

"Hey, big man, be open-minded, right?" Dean picked up Bordeaux, filled Dai Yang's empty glass, and continued to lobby.

"Don't worry, in fact, I just want to ask her to help lead the team to maintain law and order. It is not a dangerous thing. If she is responsible for watching the adventurers, I can also concentrate on dealing with the harassment of the monsters. As a result, it is instead. It has improved the overall security of Lanlos Town, and it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. As a husband, you should strongly support it."

"...Is that so?" Dai Yang's voice was full of suspicion.

"Don't refuse people like this. Even if you don't agree, you can at least ask for help?" Dean stepped back and moved the "horse" forward. "The duty of the knight is to protect the people. This matter might be a bounden duty for her. You can ask for help... If our lady knight is unwilling, just treat it as if I haven't mentioned it. Is it the head office?"

"...Tsk, you guys came to the door and it really wasn't a good thing."

Dai Yang stunned heavily, but couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he nodded helplessly.

"Well, I'll just help you ask questions. If Xia Luwei is unwilling, you must not harass her anymore."

"Of course, of course, I promise... Well, General, Shuangma Panchao."

"what?"

Dai Yang stared at the chessboard with wide eyes, and realized that at some point, his "handsome" had been driven to a desperate situation by two "horses" on the left and the right.

"Wait...wait! When did that horse force into the middle palace?"

"That? Well, just when you just said ‘Among a bunch of big and big stinky men’."

"...You fellow, is it on purpose?"

"Wow ha ha ha! The art of war is clear, and the heart is the best, so you can surrender this time!"

"Kouhu! I haven't lost yet!"

"Don't struggle, don't struggle, Shuangma Panchao can't be saved by the gods!"

"Mmm..."

Dai Yang was still staring at the chessboard with a distressed expression. The garrison captain who had won the first victory was already planning to make a strategic retreat.

"Our record now is, one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine wins against one thousand four hundred and eighty... Hmph, I should go back and return to my wife. You can keep this bottle of Bordeaux for a drink."

"Wait! You guy, do you want to run if you win?"

"Wow hahaha, what good dishes will Paola do for lunch today? The wine after victory should be extra sweet, right?"

The security captain carried the bamboo basket and walked towards the door of the shop at a brisk pace, while the black-haired youth who had become a loser secretly raised his **** at his back.

"Huh, it's better to have a monster kill your lunch..."

I don't know if he heard what he said, Dean who walked to the door suddenly froze. A second later, Dai Yang noticed the abnormality of the guard captain, but before he could ask it out, Dean turned his head first, and the expression on his face turned out to be a wry smile that was more ugly than crying.

"You crow's mouth, you really got it right..."
