Home of the Brave

The boss who returned to the bar downstairs first greeted Dai Yang's questioning sight.

"Sean, you didn't bully others, did you?"

"Of course, a true gentleman will not embarrass a lady."

Shaun touched his mustache triumphantly, without concealing his appreciation for Xia Luwei. "That little knight girl, but she is very good! Not only is she beautiful, she is also very cultivated in her words and deeds. If I guess correctly, she should be of noble origin, and she is quite noble."

"But why would aristocratic daughters come to such a rural place?" Dai Yang questioned his speculation.

"Well, there are such things as'declining aristocrats' in the world?" Xiao En shrugged and continued his guess. "But what is commendable is that even in the poor, I still have not lost that pride and noble sentiment. If I didn't temporarily reduce the accommodation fee by half, the girl would rather choose to sleep on the street than to bow to others, right? I don’t know the sufferings in the world, and when they encounter problems, they will only complain about the **** aristocrats. That girl can be regarded as being out of the silt and not getting infected... By the way, what is her name?"

"She's Xia Luwei, Xia Luwei von Ishere." Dai Yang replied.

"Feng? Well, I didn't guess wrong as expected." Xiao En nodded, his expression more pleasant. "Look at the girl's sword-holding movement and walking posture. She should have undergone quite strict training, right? Not only is she noble, but her physique is stronger than ordinary girls. As an object of childbirth, she is not an ideal. ?"

"Sean, what do you want to say?" Dai Yang put down his wine glass and looked at the bad middle-aged in front of him with unhappy eyes.

"What I want to say is, I promised your father to help him watch his grandson's birth..." Xiao En touched his mustache and looked at Dai Yang with almost condemning eyes. "But your kid is not at all competitive. Let alone laying eggs, even a wife has not married yet! How do you want the old man to confess to your father under Jiuquan in the future?"

"Hey, you also need money to marry a wife? It's not easy for me to support myself." Dai Yang advocated.

"At present, how can you look forward and backward as a man?" A certain bad middle-aged patted Dai Yang on the shoulder and made extremely irresponsible instigation in an impassioned tone. "As the saying goes, ‘the boat will go straight to the bridge head’. Anyway, go up and knock it down, and wait for other things to be discussed later!"

"...What's'hurry up and push down'? Don't make others look like beasts." Dai Yang looked at him coldly.

"Humans and animals have five or six cubs in a litter, but they are stronger than you!" Xiao En grunted dissatisfiedly. "Even if you don't care about the important matter of inheriting the Dai family for you, can you watch such a good girl go to death? The adventurers who come here are either targeting the Frost Snow Silver Emperor's treasure or Slaying Dragon The reputation of a brave, but the guy who can come back alive is still not full of one hand. Think about it, if she falls into the hands of the monsters in the Dragon Nest, what will happen?"

"It's...what does it matter to me? I didn't instigate her to break into the dragon's nest." Dai Yang said insistently. "Besides, didn't you say that she is very skilled? Maybe she can really defeat the dragon and come back safely."

"Tsk, your kid is really hard-hearted..." The boss sighed and shook his head, and then suddenly changed the subject without knowing what he thought of.

"Speaking of which, don't you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow I am going to open a store for business, because it has been closed for five days due to the relationship of outbound purchases..."

Probably because of the loss of turnover during this period, Dai Yang showed an expression of toothache.

"Well, that's the case, it means there is no important thing, right?"

"Fuck you! What is more important than opening a store in the world?"

Speaking of this, Dai Yang suddenly showed a wary expression. "By the way, are you making a strange idea?"

"Strange idea? No such thing."

Although he said so, but Sean's appearance didn't seem to be all right. This bad middle-aged man in a gentleman's coat showed a particularly happy expression and poured a full glass of high-priced Mosser for Dai Yang. "Come here, let's drink and talk...Speaking of which, you haven't told me about the set of glass wine utensils made in Venice..."

"Um..." Dai Yang looked at the dark red wine shaking in the glass, and suddenly felt that it was better to leave as soon as possible.

※※※

Early morning exercise is Xia Luwei's daily homework. This habit has been with her for ten years since her nine-year-old father passed away.

Due to the exhaustion accumulated during the journey, she slept very heavily last night, but when it was time in the morning, the biological clock that had formed a fixed habit still awakened her. Since she didn't eat much last night, Xia Luwei first felt the emptiness in her abdomen after waking up. She drank a glass of water and pressed her stomach in protest, then opened the door and walked out of the room to the open space behind the hotel.

At this time, the distant horizon had just revealed a ray of light, and there was still a long time before dawn, and the entire town of Lanlos was still immersed in the embrace of sweet dreams. The peaceful and peaceful atmosphere makes it hard to believe that this is a country situated at the foot of the evil dragon.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Xia Luwei subconsciously recalled the facts she had heard yesterday, only feeling lost in her heart. For the residents of Lanlos Town, the kingdom of Gulambel to which she is loyal has become an enemy they hate, and the dragon she longs to eradicate is the respected lord who brings them a peaceful and prosperous life. As long as the eyes of the townspeople looked at her yesterday, Xia Luwei felt that she had almost no position to stay in this small town.

"call…"

Xia Luwei took a deep breath, and the air that still had the chill of night poured into her body, calming her chaotic and frustrated thoughts.

She closed her eyes, clarified her spirit, and slowly made it sharp as a blade. Then, he drew out his big sword and started a day's morning exercise.

The big sword used by Xia Luwei was said to be the Dragon Slashing sword handed down from her ancestors, but in terms of appearance, it was not that sharp, and even a little blunt. Compared with the long swords commonly used by modern knights, the Dragon Slashing Sword far exceeds the latter in length and weight. It is not so much killing the enemy with a sword blade, but rather relying on weight to overwhelm the enemy.

The time when this dragon sword was born was the time when the Gulambel Kingdom opened up its territory. At that time, the objects of knights fighting were often monsters with huge physiques and thick skins. Weapons with heavy mass and destructive power were needed to deal with them. Therefore, the weapons used were often large-scaled, pursuing the destruction of one hit. force. As for the weapon in Xia Luwei's hand that was dubbed the "Dragon Slashing Sword", it was the product of pursuing the ultimate destructive power under this trend.

It is a pity that as the Gulambel Kingdom gradually established its own stable sphere of influence, the objects of the knights' battle changed from monsters to bandits and demihumans. Due to the decline of the opponent's level, the knights' weapons no longer need such extreme destructive power, so they gradually developed in the direction of miniaturization and lightness. In fact, the modern army of the kingdom has completely abandoned such heavy equipment as the Dragon Slashing Sword. This type of weapon, like the heroic legend of fighting against the dragon, has become a text only recorded in history books.

Compared with the three-foot long sword commonly used by knights today, the Dragon Slashing Sword inherited by Xia Luwei from her ancestors is more than five feet long and weighs a full 140 pounds. When swinging at full force, even the heavy armor forged with steel can be broken in one fell swoop. If such destructive power is concentrated on one point, even the dragon scales known as steel defense can be penetrated! The ancestors of the Is'Elay family relied on this unbending dragon sword and their own five-style nameless sword skills to complete the heroic cause of defeating the dragon, and these were inherited by Xia Luwei.

Compared with the many fancy and gorgeous sword skills of the knight, the unknown sword skills of the Isher family have only the simplest five styles, which are the "Fool's Style" for defense and the "Bull's Style" for both offense and defense. , The strongest attack "infuriated", the defensive counterattack "crown", and the defensive "hammer kill". Each of these styles can only be used under specific circumstances, and every move when swinging the sword is clumsy and rigid. Therefore, Xia Luwei is often teased by other trainee knights while practicing swordsmanship, and is called "a woman as outdated as swordsmanship".

Of course, those who had made fun of her are now her defeated men. Xia Luwei's effort in swordsmanship was ten times as much as theirs, and her strength was a hundred times as much as theirs. Because of this, Xia Luwei also has the courage to try something that ordinary knights like challenging the dragon would not even dare to imagine.

"Foolish", "Bullish", "Angry", "Crown", "Hammer-killing", the five nameless sword skills take turns in Xia Luwei's hands, changing freely. Although it seems simple and casual, behind this heavy lifting, there is sweat and effort that ordinary people can't imagine. Someone who was observing quietly next to him could hardly help clapping his hands.

Xia Luwei practiced the five-style sword skills in turns three hundred times, and it was already bright when she finally retracted her sword. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and the underwear under the armor was also wet with sweat. Xia Luwei wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, and then tentatively smelled the smell of her body, she couldn't help but pull a wry smile from the corner of her mouth.

What was floating on his body was not perfume but the smell of sweat, and he was not holding a handkerchief but a long sword. There shouldn’t be a second earl’s daughter like himself? Although I have never expected to be able to have the romance of the past and the moon like other noble daughters, but if you are not feminine like this, do men really like it? Xia Luwei couldn't help but be so suspicious. Although she vowed to rejuvenate the Iséré family at any price, it is not something she can do if she wants to continue the Iséré family...

"Oh, the old saying, "The early bird catches the worm", I really see a good thing!"

Just when Xia Luwei wanted to get absorbed, such a sound suddenly sounded next to her, accompanied by a warm applause of "Papa Papa".
