Home of the Brave

"But... poor?" Medusa's eyes widened in astonishment as if she heard something unbelievable.

"I was there when she fought with Ji Yao and witnessed the whole process from beginning to end..." Dai Yang scratched his head and recalled. "Although a demon is often considered to be a guy without blood and tears, she doesn't feel that way to me. The appearance of fighting against the Ji demon is more like grief because of the loss of a loved one, and finally fell to that end... …"

Having said this, Dai Yang squatted down, stretched out his hand to stroke the wing demon's bangs, and looked at the delicate face that was indistinguishable from a human girl. "If Ji Yao was going to kill her, I would probably not intervene? But since God let her survive, it's a different matter... Anyway, it's just a matter of effort. It's not surprising, right?"

"...I can't understand, I can't understand at all." Medusa shook her head violently. "Demons are higher-level creatures second only to the dragons. The sequence in the biological chain is much higher than that of humans. The demons are predators that humans are naturally afraid of. However, not only do you not fear the demons, but you have sympathy for the demons. This is basically Impossible... You are weird, so weird!"

"So in the eyes of the demon, am I such a weird guy..." Dai Yang blinked his eyes, looked rather surprised, and then simply put the question aside. "Forget it, it's something that doesn't matter anyway... But you just checked her condition, how did it turn out? Isn't it okay to just fall asleep like this?"

"...Her condition is not that bad." Medusa replied after a while, and it seemed that her emotions had calmed down. "She was indeed robbed of the soul jade by the jade demon, but the lack of the soul jade will not affect the body. The reason for her sleep is probably because the jade demon absorbed a lot of energy... she should have been weak and died like this. Yes, but you used your own energy to supplement her so that she can survive the most dangerous time."

"Through the most dangerous time?" Dai Yang tried to understand Medusa's words. "In other words, she is safe now?"

"The life of a demon is very powerful. No matter how many traumas it receives, as long as the breath remains, it will heal itself over time... Her demon energy is constantly strengthening, this is the evidence that the body is gradually regaining its vitality." Medusa Said something that made Dai Yang at ease, and then asked the question that bothered him. "According to my judgment, she will probably wake up soon, what do you plan to do then?"

"Well, I'm also worrying about this problem..." Dai Yang showed a frown. "Let me ask first, what will she look like when she wakes up?"

"Soul jade is the crystallization of the soul of the demon. The demon who is taken away from the soul jade will lose the wisdom of being a demon and become a beast that relies on instinct..." Medusa stared at the sleeping wing demon with pity. "She is no longer the demon lord who rules the Caucasus Mountains. All her past has been erased... When she wakes up, she will be a blank piece of paper like a newborn baby. If left alone, she will become A kind of low-level monsters."

"Then, will she return to the Caucasus Mountains by herself?"

"I said that all her past has been erased, and the possibility of your expectations being realized is very small..." Medusa shook her head. "And even if she leaves here, it is by no means harmless to humans like you. As a monster, she will hunt her own prey according to her instinct, or become a monster that harms the other party, or be conquered by adventurers. ."

"Well, my head is beginning to hurt..."

After listening to Medusa, Dai Yang pressed his head like a headache. Although he wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible, but now it seems that at least the immediate trouble is unavoidable. On the other hand, Medusa was not upset by the interruption of her speech, but just stood quietly and looked at the seriously troubled man with a meaningful look. After a while, when Dai Yang scratched his head for not knowing how to place the Wing Demon, Medusa spoke.

"...It's not that there is no way."

"Huh? Is there a way?" Dai Yang looked over in surprise. Under his gaze, Medusa slowly explained with a sigh.

"I once said that when she wakes up, she will be a blank piece of paper like a newborn baby. This not only means that she will continue to move instinctively, but it also means...you can be like a baby according to your own preferences. Like her." Noting Dai Yang's puzzled look, Medusa explained further.

"You should know that it is very difficult to tame adult beasts, but it is relatively easy to gain the trust of cubs. She has absorbed your blood and is already familiar with your breath. If you are educated by you, she should be able to Becoming your right-hand man... At least I think that it should be a better ending for her than becoming a tragic monster."

"I will... educate the demon?" Dai Yang seemed to be frightened by Medusa's proposal.

"If you don't have time, I can also help take care of her." Medusa stared at the sleeping Wing Demon, her eyes were very soft, reminding Dai Yang that she was originally a loving demon.

"You don't know what a tragic fate to become a demon beast, I don't want to see her end like that..."

"Even so..." It's no joke to adopt two superior demons, and Dai Yang seemed hesitant.

"If you are worried about increasing the cost of food, you can also treat her as a lowly demon and make her fall asleep in the'soul hiding'... In fact, doing so will help her character stabilize faster, and it can also avoid accidents. Happened." After this time of getting along, Medusa seemed to have understood the character of the hostess and pleaded earnestly. "I will take care of her, and will not cause you extra trouble... It is my request, I hope you can agree to keep her."

"...No way." Hearing Medusa's words like this, Dai Yang could only sigh and nod. "In that case, you have to take good care of her..."

※※※

If you want to ask the adventurer what the last thing he doesn't want to encounter during the adventure, half of the servants will answer the dragon, and the other half will answer the demon.

In fact, this question can actually be used as a sign to distinguish novice adventurers from experienced adventurers. Although dragons are theoretically the highest predators, they all have their own fixed territories. Basically, as long as they don't deliberately go to the dragon's nest, the possibility of encountering a dragon in the wild is lower than the possibility of dropping a box of gold coins out of thin air. But monsters are different.

Monsters are high-level predators second only to dragons. Most of their residences are located in places frequented by adventurers such as ruins mazes, and they are usually very hidden. After reaching the depths of the labyrinth after all the difficulties and dangers, when he was about to search the treasure, he suddenly encountered a terrible monster. This is probably the nightmare that all adventurers don't want to encounter. Although the real dragon and dragon of the demon are not of the same grade, compared with ordinary people's standards, they are both invincible existences, and the gap between the two has no practical significance.

Few adventurers who encounter demons can survive. If they can survive, such experience is enough to show off their lifelong qualifications.

In this respect, a certain idiot trio who was able to retreat after encountering monsters three times, challenging the dragon's nest and returning with treasure, is considered to be an extremely rare existence. If it is admitted that "luck is also a kind of strength", then the dumb trio known as the "True Brave Group" can actually be included in the ranks of elite adventurers. Perhaps there is a suspicion of serious bias in this division, but for the trio, perhaps the least lacking is self-confidence.

"...Wow hahaha! The bearded guy was not very convinced at the time, so I rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the wound and asked him, ‘Do you know what this is?’"

Walking on the sidewalk of Tieyan Mountain, the eldest elder Ed boasted to the two brothers about his encounter in Tieyan Fort, speaking of rising up and rolling up his sleeves, revealing an old wound on his wrist. "The bearded guy shook his head stupidly, and I said,'This is the claw that I got when I was fighting with a monster! You kid probably hasn't even seen a monster, right?' Hearing this, the bearded guy's face immediately changed. It's gray...wow hahaha! That feels so cool! I don't think Ed has ever raised his eyebrows like this!"

"Uh, boss, that wound... isn't it because you were scratched by a cat when you were stealing fish when you were a kid?" The second child Xia De asked hesitantly.

"Stupid! It doesn't matter where the wound is, what's important is that we had a fight with a monster! This is absolutely true!" Ed punched the little brother. "Huh, don't you see the eyes of those women looking at me? That hunger and thirsty look, you can't wait to swallow us... If it weren't for the boss, I will take you out immediately, and I don't know when I will mushroom there. Woolen cloth!"

"What? There is such a thing?" The youngest Hurd was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Ed with resentful eyes. "Boss, you are too unjust, why don't I know such a good thing..."

"Who told you to get drunk in just a few glasses of wine? I called you, and the second child can testify." Eddy promised through his teeth.

"Don't be disappointed, third." Seeing Hurd's expression of disappointment, Xia De patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Those are just vulgar fans. When it comes to the best among women, they are really hot girls from the Wings! Think about the ones we met in Tieyanbao, all of them are nice bodies with long legs and slender waists. , The white thighs are lined up... Tsk tsk, the boss had weak legs at the time! This time we went to Tian Zhaofeng where those hot girls are there. If you are lucky, maybe you can get one or two. A oh?"

"Um..." Hurd was said to have a heartbeat, but after careful consideration, he shook his head. "Uh, let me just forget it. That kind of fierce woman is not something ordinary men can bear. If you hit their ideas, they might be eaten... And, I heard that the Wing Man's visit is holding an important ceremony. We I don't know if I can go in?"

"What are you afraid of! No matter how fierce the girls with wings are, can they be more fierce than the elder sister?" Ed moved out of the maiden to be courageous. "And it's because of the ceremony being held there that we went to join in the fun! Listen to those bearded guys saying that the wingmen of the Palamian continent have gathered towards Amaterasu, and what other sky spears will appear...think about it. Look, how can you miss such a good thing?"

"Sky Spear? Sky Spear Gungnir?"

"Yes, that's the name, do you remember Hurd?"

"I didn't say anything, boss..."

"Huh? Who is talking then?"

Ed was stunned, and subconsciously looked around, but a sweet voice came from above his head.

"Idiot, here we are."

The idiot trio looked in the direction of the voice, and then they cramped. On a certain branch sticking out by the roadside, the jealous demon with purple hair and purple clothes held up a wine glass and smiled like hello to them. In addition to the wine glass in his hand, Ji Yao's other hand is also holding a half bottle of wine, which seems to be pouring himself on the tree. Under the swaying gaze of Ed and the others, Ji Yao drank the purple liquid in the cup and leaped gently from the branch.

"We are bored, you waited just right..." With a charming smile, Ji Yao approached the trio of fools and asked in a funny voice: "Don't be afraid, tell us about it, Tianqianggang. Where is Garnier from?"
