Home of the Brave

"Ah, I too..."

"Xia Luwei, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Xia Luwei seemed to want to act with the guards, but Miranda stared at her firmly. As a result, the female knight could only stand on the spot with an aggrieved expression, watching her man walk towards this place.

"Dai Yang..."

"Wei, didn't you get hurt?" Dai Yang, who approached, asked the female knight softly. Although the expression is invisible, the voice is rarely shaken.

"Hmm...well, no injuries." Xia Luwei nodded embarrassedly. "sorry that I had you worried……"

"No, it's okay if you haven't been injured... Dean guy, this time he did a good job." Dai Yang exhaled, and then looked at the blood-stained appearance of the female knight, showing a wry smile as if he didn't know what to say. "Really, I can't wear this dress anymore..."

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

"Hey, I'm not blaming you, why do you apologize?" Dai Yang scratched his head in anguish, looking at the female knight's thin blouse and the bladed dagger, and made some important decision in his heart. "Well, although this kind of thing is unavoidable, it really can't happen again... Wei, you still don't want to go out for the time being from tomorrow, just stay at home."

"Huh? But, but..."

"Be obedient, baby, I don't want to lose you because of this stupid thing."

"Woo... know, got it."

Dai Yang's words left no room for discussion at all. Xia Luwei couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she could only bow her head dejectedly. On the other hand, while Dai Yang calmed the female knight, the maiden of the wind over there also completed the inspection of the demon Shiluf, got up from the ground, and walked here with a deeply confused expression.

"...What's going on?" Miranda asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Pretend less garlic! Why did the monster become like this? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, it already looked like this when I arrived..."

Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders and briefly described what he had seen in the dark.

"...Demon Soul Jade!"

Miranda interrupted him in surprise when he heard that Ji Yao took away the demon soul jade of the demon. "Are you sure? Is it really a demon soul jade?"

"Well, I did hear them say that." Dai Yang nodded and asked curiously. "After the demon soul jade was taken away, this guy became what it is now...what the **** is that?"

"Demon soul jade, I have seen it in the ancient books of the temple... that is the source of the power of the monster and the core of its soul. The monster soul jade contains all the life essence of the monster. As a sacrificial weapon, it has A powerful force that cannot be matched by anything else, so it is often used as a catalyst for various evil secret arts..."

"Oh oh oh! Is it very valuable?" Dai Yang responded instinctively, but Miranda gave him a stern look.

"It's not a question of worthlessness at all. The demon soul jade is the core of the demon's soul, just like the dragon's inverse scales. Those who want to fight the demon soul jade, the only end is to be torn to pieces by the demon."

"Uh..." Dai Yang avoided the sharp gaze of the Wind Witch, looked at the bird wing demon on the ground and asked, "In this case, what will this guy become after losing the demon jade?"

"There is no record of this in ancient books, but..." Miranda's gaze fell on the demon's body, with a little pity in her voice. "After losing the demon soul jade, it can no longer use any magic arts, and it no longer possesses the wisdom of a demon...In that empty body, what is left is only the most primitive instincts of creatures. If I guess it's right. , It will probably degenerate into a beast inferior to a monster, but the prerequisite is to survive first."

Miranda who said this, sighed and shook her head, and then was about to leave, Dai Yang stopped her in surprise.

"Hello, did you leave like this? What should this guy do?"

"Since you brought it back, of course you will handle it yourself. It doesn't matter if you want to kill or pluck it, it has nothing to do with me." Miranda responded coldly. "And thanks to you, let the culprit Jiyou escape...this account will be clear to you one day."

After leaving behind the chic and arrogant lines, Miranda turned and walked out of the square. But only a few steps, she suddenly fell to the side, and Xia Luwei, who was startled, hurried forward to help her, but found that the Witch of the Witch had fainted.

"Divine art is used too much, and the physical strength is exhausted? There is really a strong lady..."

Dai Yang saw the cause of Miranda's faint at once and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"All in all, take her back to the store to rest first. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it later...Ah, it's the same with that one over there."

※※※

With the exit of the Wind Witch and the Birdwing Demon, the monster riots in Lanlos Town finally came to an end.

This riot can be said to be the most serious monster invasion incident in Lanlos Town in recent years. Fortunately, because it was at the peak of the influx of adventurers into Lanlos Town at this time, whether it was voluntary or involuntary, the adventurers involved in the riots played a role more or less when fighting the monsters. . Coupled with the full fighting of the guards, the number of casualties in the riot was reduced to a minimum.

On the other hand, although the residents of Lanlos Town escaped the catastrophe due to the timely refuge, the property left in place suffered huge losses.

The houses destroyed by the monsters, the food looted, these are nothing, but the most devastating to the town is the witch of a certain storm god. Miranda used magic to attract Albers' thunder, which not only wiped out the monsters, but also turned half of the town into ruins. When cleaning the battlefield, more than a dozen households looked at their flattened houses with tears in their eyes. In addition, the town square in Lanlos Town was also hit by the hammer, and the slab-paved ground was blasted to the ground. Just calculating the amount of work required to repair the houses and squares is enough to make the mayor of Barrett cry without tears.

On the second day after the riot, the residents of the town began to clean up the houses destroyed by monsters and witches. The security team was busy patrolling and eliminating the threat of residual monsters. Even the tavern "Liu Ke Yu" became a temporary shelter for injured adventurers. . It can be said that the town of Lanlos was very busy with the aftermath.

However, a certain item shop that houses the sabotage maidens and birdwing demons is completely unrelated to this atmosphere.

The prop shop "The Brave Cemetery" is a two-story stone building. It is said that it received technical support from the dwarves when it was built. Therefore, regardless of the appearance of the grandeur or the firmness of the structure, it far exceeds the rest of Lanlos Town. architecture. Perhaps because of this, it has stood for decades in a small town frequented by monsters, and the appearance of the item shop is still glamorous.

The stone-made prop shop is divided into upper and lower floors, and is a building with both external business and residential functions. The first half of the first floor is the storefront for external business and display of goods, and the second half is the kitchen and dining room with practical functions such as the kitchen and dining room. Going up the wooden staircase in the corner of the dining room, you will arrive at the second floor of the prop store. This is where the owner’s family lives and lives. There are four rooms in total. They are a bedroom, a guest room, a study and an unused nursery room.

It is worth mentioning that whether the study room or the nursery room is a space for the previous generation of shop owners to expand their personal interests, for Dai Yang, who inherited the prop shop, it was too troublesome to clean and rarely used. Take the study room as an example. The last time it was used can be traced back almost half a year ago. As for the situation of going to the study room early in the morning like today, it hasn't happened in several years.

"Strange, it should be placed here..."

Dai Yang moved away the stacks of bookshelves piled up with thick dust, trying to find what he wanted in a pile of old things. Since this study is the private room of the former owner, that is, Dad Dai, in addition to a room full of ancient books and scrolls, there are also many strange personal collections stacked. It's like a stone tablet engraved with strange words, a monster skull of unknown origin, a black box that doesn't know what it is, and so on.

Although Dad Dai did not prohibit his son from playing with these personal collections, since a certain organ that accidentally touched a stone tablet was transported to an uninhabited wilderness where monsters were rampant, and almost died for a lifetime, Dai Yang has been dealing with these ghosts. With a vigilance and disgust of 120,000 points, as long as there is nothing wrong, he will never step into this study.

However, what he was looking for now was not such dangerous items as above, but something left by his father. Because I just left it in the study at first, I can't remember where it was placed now, so I can only search slowly with a vague impression.

"Well, is it this..."

With a corner exposed from the bottom of the bookshelf, Dai Yang lay down on the ground and pulled the thing out. Unexpectedly, with the sound of two "squeaks", a small rodent sprang out from under the bookshelf first. The mouse ran along the piles on the ground to the window sill of the study, and then screamed at him as if protesting against its destruction of the home.

"What is it called! Do you want to die?"

Dai Yang's eyes glared, and the tiger's body shook. An overlord's aura spewed out in a flash, and the poor mouse wailed and jumped off the window sill with its tail sandwiched between it.

"Wow ha ha ha ha! The mere rodents dare to challenge this uncle's hegemony, do you know how powerful it is?"

After expelling the lurkers, Dai Yang turned his attention to the things in his hands. It was a long strip of object wrapped in a thick linen cloth, but after years of time, the linen cloth had become ragged, and the surface was even more dusty, but the heavy weight came from the hand, Let Dai Yang make sure that he didn't find the wrong thing.

"Well, yes, this is it."
