Home of the Brave

The sound of the collision of swords and the sound of cheering and shouting, mixed into a noisy noise, poured in from the window, awakening the sleepy youth.

Like most people, Dai Yang certainly would not like this disturbing dream. He tried to cover his head with a quilt, but he still couldn't isolate the annoying noise. After struggling in the bed for five or six minutes, the noise that came in increased unabated. The black-haired youth finally opened his eyes unwillingly, yawned and climbed to the window sill and looked down.

"Damn, what were you arguing about early in the morning...huh?"

I saw in the backyard of the prop shop, Xia Luwei and Miranda were practicing their sword skills, and that was the source of the clash of swords he heard. As for the sound of cheering and shouting, it originated from a large group of idlers attracted by the wonderful battle between the two-the guard team patrolling by, the farmer with the hoes, and the little ghosts who are idle, and dozens of people are densely surrounded. Outside the low wall in the backyard, one by one stretched their heads to give friendly support to the two in the fierce battle.

"Come on! Sister Knight, we support you!"

"That's right! Get rid of that bad witch!"

"Ahhh! That's it, that's it! Knock it down according to the point!"

…It sounds like they are all supporting the female knight one-sidedly. The reason for this phenomenon should be related to the terrible impression left by the witches on the townspeople in the previous monster event. Especially in the eyes of those little ghosts, Xia Luwei seems to be regarded as a hero of justice, while Miranda has become an evil witch. All in all, the battle between good and evil in the backyard of Dai's house is currently at its best. No wonder Dai Yang will wake up.

"Hey, you made the wrong object of support..."

Dai Yang took a casual look, then yawned to draw a conclusion.

Xia Luwei's sword skills were originally very powerful, especially after the ordeals of the Dragon Nest, she had already initially stepped into the realm of "using the sword to enter the Tao and reach the sky" after removing her inner demons. In addition, the Shen Yuanjian left by Daddy Dai is also a psychic sword. In this case, if you want to beat her in a sword battle, I am afraid that it is more difficult than singled out a dozen tauren, and Miranda Obviously, his combat skills are far from reaching this state. It's a different matter if she uses magical attacks, but she can't beat the female knight if she is purely a sword skill.

"Huh?" Dai Yang noticed the sudden change of the witch's aura, and turned his puzzled gaze.

I saw in front of the audience, a few gleeful guards were gesturing to the townspeople beside them triumphantly. Although the distance is too far to hear what they are saying, it must be an opinion that is difficult to be accepted by a certain duke’s daughter-under Albers’s god, any small movement can’t leak to the ears of the witch, and those hapless ones Obviously he didn't know this, he still pointed at the two people in the fierce battle. Dai Yang saw a fierce cyclone at their feet, and also guessed their fate.

Next, as he expected, Miranda suddenly closed the sword and gestured to Xia Luwei with a pause, then tilted her head to look over there. Seeing the witch coming angrily, those guys knew that a catastrophe was imminent, but it was too late. The person in the front was directly brought down by the divine thunder that fell from the sky, and the people in the back were also shaved by sharp wind blades.

Seeing the sabotage maiden showing her majesty, the frightened crowd suddenly dispersed. Miranda wanted to catch up to teach those guys, but Xia Luwei hurriedly stopped.

"A bunch of idiots stabbed a hornet's nest..." Dai Yang sighed and expressed his cheapest sympathy to the hapless guy who was still cramping on the ground.

"However, it's finally quiet... Phew, this kind of time, anyway, the early bird has no insects to eat, so just go to sleep..."

The black-haired youth yawned, fell back on the bed, and quickly sank into the beautiful dreamland of no deficit.

On the other hand, when such an incident occurs, the practice of the female knight and the witch will naturally be interrupted.

"...Really, are there such boring fools in the security team?" Miranda angrily looked at the guys who fled.

"No...nothing like that, everyone is good, fighting bravely to protect the town when the monsters attack..." Xia Luwei tried to defend her former comrades in arms.

"That's just bravery, bravery and stupidity are not contradictory. You can't assume that the other person is a good person just because you have done a good thing occasionally, Xia Luwei, you are too naive." Miranda said bitterly.

"Yes...Is that so..." Xia Luwei showed a confused expression and looked at a certain guard member who was twitching on the ground with worried eyes. "Well, is he okay?"

"Huh, it's just the lowest level of Thunder of Punishment Ring. Depending on your physique, you will probably lie down for two to three hours, right?" Miranda glanced at the ground lightly, and then said to the female knight. "Forget it, don't worry about that kind of boring guy, let's go back and prepare breakfast, that guy should almost get up..."

"Well, that's right." Thinking of her responsibilities as a mistress, Xia Luwei nodded and followed the witch and walked into the house.

After entering the house, Miranda poured two glasses of water, handed one to the female knight, and then commented.

"But then again, Xia Luwei, your swordsmanship has improved a lot!"

"Really?" Xia Luwei took the water glass when she heard her friend's admiration, showing a happy expression.

"Yes, with your current strength, it is probably a simple matter to qualify as an elite knight?" Miranda commented.

"Miranda, um, I can't leave here..." Xia Luwei explained with an embarrassed voice as if she had misunderstood the meaning of the witch.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to go back to the kingdom, but..." Miranda took a sip of water, sorted out her thoughts a bit, and asked the question. "Xia Luwei, you are already very good, and you are still practicing swordsmanship every day, I am afraid that sooner or later you will go to a higher level... Have you ever thought about what you want to do with this kind of power?"

"Hmm...well, because practicing swords is a habit I developed since I was a child, and when Yang gave me Shen Yuanjian, he also said that he hoped I would use it to protect myself..." Xia Luwei looked at her new sword with love and pity. "Although I don't have many opportunities to use it, I think I can help a lot if we encounter the monster riot like the previous one."

"In that case, why don't you just join the garrison?" Miranda said. "From the performance of those idiots just now, you have a high status in their minds. If you teach them, I think those idiots can become more or less smart."

"But, I am the wife of the Dai family, and I must take care of the family first..." The female knight showed a distressed expression. "Furthermore, Yang has been troubled by the deficit in the store every day. If I can't help him share the troubles..."

"You..." Miranda looked at the female knight with helpless eyes. "Don't you think that the security team is also paid?"

"Huh?" Xia Luwei blinked, then clapped her hands in surprise. "Yeah! You can also use the salary of the garrison to subsidize your family!"

"...Not to protect the people, but to earn a salary..." Looking at the happy female knight, Miranda couldn't help but moaning while covering her forehead.

If it was Xia Luwei before, at this time, she would definitely say that "it is the bounden duty of the knight to protect the people" instead of being happy that "you can use salary to subsidize the family." Although Xia Luwei’s stupid character used to worry Miranda somewhat, the change at this moment made it even more difficult for her to relax—someone sleeping upstairs, whose obsession with deficits seems to have a viral contagion, not only pollution. With the noble female knight, it seems that she herself has been greatly affected.

(At that time, I really shouldn't agree with him...) Miranda bit her lip, remembering something that happened in Dragon Nest not long ago, and couldn't help feeling extremely regretful.

At this time, Xia Luwei had put on her apron, walked into the kitchen humming a song, and began to prepare breakfast. The female knight seemed to be in a good mood, and she turned around and begged the witch.

"Miranda, can you help wake up Xia Yang?"

The activities of the adventurers have temporarily entered a low ebb with the conclusion of the Dragon Nest Raiders a few days ago. For the item shop that mainly provides services for adventurers, it also means the arrival of the cold winter period. In such a period, even if you continue to diligently get up and open the shop early, it will not increase half of Lien’s turnover. It is better to sleep well in the blankets, maybe you can save breakfast money-this advocates Someone of, has recently become more and more prone to degenerate into a hibernating animal.

Miranda stood in front of the door of the guest room, feeling a little nervous, took a few deep breaths to calm her mood, and then reached out and knocked on the door. After waiting for two or three minutes, there was no movement from the door.

"That guy, are you still asleep..." The Miko couldn't help but muttered, opening the door and walking in.

The furnishings of the guest room are quite simple, one table, one chair, one bed and one cabinet. Miranda's eyes swept around the room, naturally falling on the wooden bed by the window. There, someone was lying on the side of the window with one foot falling out of the bed, as if sleeping very sweetly.

Looking at the strange sleeping posture of the man, Miranda couldn't help feeling a bit weak, and at the same time she couldn't help getting angry. Seeing the peaceful face full of happiness, the shrine maiden can't help feeling that she has become an idiot who has recently suffered from insomnia.

"My lady is next door, and she can still sleep so peacefully...well, what an annoying fellow..."

Although Miranda has never been proud of it, her beauty and temperament are highly rated among the men around her. At the time of the Wang Family Academy, there was a boy who went to play the piano and sing on the window sill of the chief dormitory in the middle of the night. Although Miranda was very annoyed and poured cold water down the bucket, his performance seemed to make her more than that. Feel unacceptable. In the sense, the value of one's own existence seems to be underestimated.

"Hey, get up! You lazy fellow, Xia Luwei has already prepared breakfast!"

Miranda called the man in a very bad tone, but Dai Yang just muttered, and turned over again holding the blanket, leaving only the back for the witch.
