Home of the Brave

"Hello, uh..."

This is the first time Miranda has seen Patty, and she still doesn't know the identity of the red-haired demon in front of her. The considerate butler girl introduced herself with a cordial smile.

"Ah, the little one is the housekeeper of the palace, who is also responsible for many affairs of the dragon collar, so he can call him little Patty."

"Butler? You were that day..."

The demons who fought with Xia Luwei that day? Miranda almost said this sentence.

She had already heard about the battle from Xia Luwei, and knew that the demons who looked like the little girl next door in front of her were actually cunning and powerful enemies who could use weird occult techniques. Xia Luwei's swordsmanship far exceeded that of ordinary knights, and she was also assisted by the Dragon Slashing Sword and Dragon Shield, but she was still defeated by the demon steward. Thinking of the weird slimes described by Xia Luwei, Miranda couldn't help but secretly raise her vigilance in her heart.

"Huh? Is there anything on the little face?" Patty asked unclearly as Miranda stared at herself in thought.

"Ah no, nothing..." Miranda shook her head, told herself to concentrate, and then went straight to the subject.

"Excuse me, Miss Patty, do you know the monster attack that took place in Lanlos Town the other day?"

"The monster attacked Lanlos Town?" Patty was stunned when he heard the words, then frowned, changing to an unprecedented serious expression. "I haven't received a report on this... May I ask what's the matter?"

"It's like this..." Under Patty's gaze, Miranda gave a detailed description of the monster attack he had personally experienced.

It is worth mentioning that this should have been the responsibility of a certain civil representative, but since the maiden of Albers is doing it, someone will be happy. Before long, the maids brought up the refreshments used to entertain the guests, and then Dai Yang focused on this new pleasure. On the other hand, the shrine maiden of the gods and the steward of the dragons are still engaged in sufficiently serious topics.

"...The little one understands." After listening to Miranda's account, Patty also returned to his usual calmness, at least on the surface. "In short, the monster that attacked Lanlos Town was attracted by the demon Shiruf, but there is another more dangerous demon behind it. That's the problem...Is that the case?"

"Yes. Because I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't tell if it was a demon. But judging from the fact that it can easily knock down the demon Shiruf, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous existence." Miranda added. road.

"Ji Yao Mingye, this name is not impressive..." Patty fiddled with her ponytail casually, revealing an annoyed expression.

In fact, since the habitats of demons often overlap with demons, it is easy for ordinary people to confuse demons and demons, but in fact the two are completely different. For example, the demons are the same as the elves and the winged races, and are a pan-human race, while the demons belong to the chaotic camp of monsters in nature. The biggest difference between the two is that the demons are naturally close to the chaos goddess Alicia, one of the six pillar gods, while the demons, like the dragons, cannot be favored by any gods.

However, due to the relationship of being a neighbor, the demons have a deeper understanding of demons than other pan-human races. It's just that Patty searches her own memory, and there is no jealous name in it.

"...So, what do you want the little one to do?" Abandoning the exploration of distant memories, Patty turned her attention to the witch in front of her.

"What is..." Miranda couldn't understand Patty's question for a while.

"Little has already roughly understood the danger of the jealous demon, as a factor that may threaten the stability of the territory, of course he will not let it go." Patty looked at Miranda with a pointed look. "However, this matter is also a problem with the Dragon's collar. Miss Miranda was not a leader who lived in Lanlos Town, and she was not a servant who served the Dragon's Nest. As the maiden of the **** of storm, you are so positive. Intervene in this matter—the little one wants to know, is it driven by a righteous heart? Or is it Albers’ oracle?"

"Well, about this..."

Sure enough, have you been asked about this? Miranda couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart.

She first came to Lanlos Town to hunt down the prisoners who attacked the temple. It was only accidental that she was involved in the demon Shiruf incident. Although there is no clear evidence yet, Miranda believes that the jealous demon behind the scenes is the prisoner she is pursuing, so she insists on following Dai Yang to the Dragon Nest to negotiate. If you can obtain assistance from the Dragon Nest, it will undoubtedly be of great help in hunting down the jealous monster, but the incident of the temple attack is related to Albers's face, and it is really difficult to tell.

"Is there anything unspeakable? If it's inconvenient to say it, just treat it as if you haven't asked it before." Patty said thoughtfully.

"No, it's actually not something that can't be said..." Miranda sighed, and finally chose to tell the truth. "Two weeks ago, the Temple of Stormwind in the Gulambel Capital was attacked by unidentified criminals. I don't know how the prisoners sneaked into the temple, stole the treasures from the treasure house, and even the guardian priests were killed..."

"Is there such a thing?" Patty widened his eyes on the spot. "If the younger one remembers correctly, the Temple of Stormwind should be the palace of Albers, how could anyone..."

"So, this incident shocked the temple, and many priests were sent out to hunt down the prisoners." Miranda interrupted Patty embarrassingly. "I received the oracle from Albers. I was told that the prisoner was moving around the Frost Mountains, so I left for Lanlos Town. When I came to town, I happened to encounter the demon Shiruf inciting monsters to attack the town...Although it was once I fought against the demon Shiruf, but let it escape in the end, and I couldn't see the jealous demon in person."

"Little understands." Patty nodded in understanding. "Miss Miranda thinks that the jealous demon is the prisoner who attacked the temple?"

"Yes." Miranda responded. "I want to catch that guy. If possible, I hope to get the assistance of Dragon Nest, otherwise at least, please allow me to move freely in Dragon Nest."

"Well, that's so..." At the request of the Wind Witch, Patty pondered for a few seconds, and then raised his head with a bright smile. "Albers and the Dragons have always been friendly, and the interests of both parties are the same this time. Therefore, rather than Miss Miranda's request, it is better to say that in order to eliminate the uneasy elements in the territory as soon as possible, I also hope to get the help of the storm maiden. ."

"That's great." Seeing that the negotiation went smoother than expected, Miranda secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that, according to Miss Miranda's account, the other party can not only drive high-level monsters, but also freely enter and exit the palace of the gods. This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous existence." Patty made such a judgment. "You can't deal with such a dangerous person in a hasty way. The small club sends people to collect information from all aspects as much as possible. It may take two or three days. Before drawing a conclusion, Miss Miranda might as well stay here for the time being. I will prepare a good room for you, what do you think?"

"Well, then..."

Miranda, who was about to nod, looked to the side as if suddenly remembering something—someone was fighting there with refreshments, as if to make up for what was owed last night, completely unaware of the maiden's gaze.

"Then do it like this!" Miranda stood up angrily and decided not to worry about his affairs.

※※※

Under the leadership of the maid, the annoyed Duke's daughter left the drawing room without looking back, but the person who was left behind was still eating the high-priced tea provided by Dragon Nest.

"Hey!" The little butler slapped the table coldly, and Dai Yang was frightened, half of the egg tower in her hand fell on the table.

"What's going on? The son."

"What's the matter? Isn't Miranda already clear enough?"

Dai Yang looked at the snack that fell on the table with a pity, and then reached for another one, but encountered unexpected obstacles on the way.

"Don't eat it!" Patty slapped someone's paw hard.

"You mean, what the witch lady just said is true? Then since the son met, why didn't you take it down on the spot?"

"Hey, don't force others to make things difficult, okay? I can only deal with ordinary situations, that guy is simply out of the situation." Dai Yang rolled his eyes and burped a lack of tension.

"Hmm..." Patty couldn't help frowning when she heard him, as if carefully assessing the danger of the opponent.

"Is it really dangerous? That jealous demon."

"Well, it's scarier than Noin." Dai Yang made a simple metaphor.

"More terrible than...Binoin?" The little butler's expression instantly shook, and then she hugged her head and plunged into deep distress.

"Ahhh, why did such a ghost come out at this time..."

"At this time?" Dai Yang blinked, bewildered by her words.

"Because Noin isn't here..." Patilla said pitifully, shrugging her shoulders. "Because the Wingmen tribe is going to hold a heavenly election ceremony, the Nuoin and Valkyrie teams have temporarily returned to the tribe, and now there is no high-ranking power in the Dragon Nest. Although it is no problem to deal with ordinary adventurers, if they encounter An opponent of the level of Ji Yao can't say for sure. In case the master is awakened by this, the younger ones will not be able to eat and walk around..."

"Oh, that's really hard work..." Dai Yang said with a non-self-interested attitude. "Speaking of it, before I came here, I went to the Valley of the Giants to go crazy. Hundreds of adventurers are gathering there. They are all desperadoes who are peeping at the treasures of the Dragon Nest. It seems that the attack will be officially launched in these two days... Well, without the Valkyrie team, it would be a hassle to deal with that kind of numbers."

"Woo..." Seemingly being troubled by the words, the butler's sister suddenly cried. "Actually, the little one just received a report from the elven colony. It also mentioned that the adventurers are quite dangerous this time."

"That's what those sharp-eared guys said?" Dai Yang tilted his head in confusion, trying to recall yesterday's scene. "But, I haven't found a particularly powerful person? Although it's not a mob, Belmohi is guarding the front mountain, plus the traps of the maze of the back mountain, and he should be able to handle it."

"But the report of the Elf Colony said that two of their scouts have disappeared near the Giant Valley, and this has never happened before."

"I got caught? How could it be possible, relying on those second-rate goods... eh? Wait." Suddenly thinking of something, Dai Yang showed a toothache expression.

"Aren't you trying to say...that jealous demon is also following?"

"Yes, the little one was also puzzled before, but after listening to your story, I feel that this is a very possibility..." Patty, who said this, folded his hands on his chest and looked at Dai Yang with cute star eyes. Begging. "So, for precaution, please stay and deal with the jealous demon? Otherwise, the younger one will ask you to pay the ransom you owed immediately?"

"I said you..." Dai Yang looked weakly at the smiling butler girl in front of him. "When threatening others, don't laugh so happy, okay?"
