Home of the Brave

"I...the scenery here is better, don't worry about it." Medusa said, but she glanced at the blazing campfire unconsciously.

"You won't find a better reason. What scenery can you see at night?" Dai Yang couldn't help laughing, patted the open space behind him. "If you're afraid of fire, just sit behind me... You sit so far, even Siruda dare not lean over, don't you?" Dai Yang, who said this, looked at the wing hiding behind Medusa. Demon.

She probably smelled the scent of roasted venison, and Xiruda was poking her head out and looking this way, but as soon as she met Dai Yang's gaze, she immediately retracted her head. After a while, he poked out his head cautiously, and then saw Dai Yang smiling and waving at her there, and he suddenly retracted in fright. The wing demon pulled Medusa's shoulders, showing only half of his head, and looked at Dai Yang tremblingly. The cute look that wants to get close but dare not get close is really lovely.

"I... I am not afraid of fire, then... that kind of thing can't hurt my hair at all." Medusa swam over slowly, although her mouth was tough, she hid half of her body in Dai Yang. behind.

"Yes..." Like cockroaches and mice, women are always afraid of inexplicable things anyway, and Dai Yang expressed his understanding very generously.

Medusa leaned on Dai Yang, but Siruda was hovering not far away. She looked like she wanted to lean closer, but she didn't know what she was hesitating.

"Uh, is she also afraid of fire?" Dai Yang asked Medusa.

"She's waiting for your order." Medusa gave someone an angry look. "The demon has a natural sense of awe for the host, and he dare not approach it without order."

"Is that so, then..." Dai Yang opened his arms to show his chest, and greeted the Wing Demon in a kind voice. "Come here, Siruda."

"Huh!"

She seemed to have been waiting for his greeting, only to hear Xiluda scream, and immediately swooped over. Dai Yang only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the figure of the Wing Demon had plunged into his arms. Someone who was unprepared was hit and lay down on his back, and the roast venison in his hand also flew out tragically. The gleeful Siruda sat on him, his wet little tongue constantly licking on his face. Dai Yang was stunned and speechless for a while, but the snake girl beside him had already bent down with a smile...

Ten minutes later, the contented Siruda sat beside Dai Yang, ate the delicious venison intently. Dai Yang, who finally got some breathing time, wiped the fragrance of his face and cast a harsh look at Medusa.

"...Hey, doesn't the demon have a natural sense of awe for the hostess?"

"You, have you forgotten? You have fed this child with your own blood, so to Siruda, you are like her blood relatives, with a natural sense of intimacy." Medusa looked at her lovingly. The Wing Demon beside Dai Yang shook his head and laughed. "In this case, should it be better than the primary position, or the fetters of blood relatives have the upper hand?"

"Demon's blood relatives? Hey, I'm an ordinary person..." Dai Yang rubbed his head with a headache. At this time, the fatigue of a bumpy day surged up, and he couldn't help yawning.

"...Are you tired?" Medusa noticed this immediately.

"Well, it's kind of, after all, it's a day's journey..." Dai Yang said this, and yawned even more.

"Then why don't you go to rest?" Medusa suggested.

"Uh, think about it..." Dai Yang breathed the cold air, trying to make his mind clearer. "But if you just fall asleep in a place where such monsters are infested, I don't know if I can see the sun the next day..."

"Are you worried about encountering a monster?" Medusa understood. "In that case, I will watch the night for you, so that you can rest at ease?"

"Huh? Is this okay?" Dai Yang looked at Snake Ji in amazement.

"It's not good or bad. It's a demon duty to serve the master, I just... fulfill this duty." Medusa avoided his gaze in a awkward manner, and said in a cold voice: "If so If you wish, I can also sleep for you... But in terms of the result, it may cause you to consume a lot of energy."

"Uh, let's forget about this..." Recalling the consequences of being absorbed by Siruda last time, Dai Yanggan smiled and declined Medusa's proposal.

Turning the vigil over to Medusa, Dai Yang walked to the carriage. On a cold night like this, you can't sleep on the grass even if you surround the bonfire. Usually Dai Yang takes a nap on the carriage around a blanket, but this time obviously there is a better alternative. Just when he just picked up the blanket, he heard a hum, and Shiruda rushed down from the sky, and two pairs of wings hugged him tightly from behind.

"Xi... Xiluda?" Dai Yang was a little panicked, but Xiluda had turned her body dexterously and turned into his arms from behind.

"Huh!" The Wing Demon seemed to be snuggling on the body of the waiter for granted, and the two pairs of Qing Wings were like the best feather quilts of the four beds, surrounding Dai Yang layer by layer.

Xiruda's body is covered with a layer of soft-touch fine hairs, nestled on his body warmer than a stove, plus two pairs of wings to block the invasion of the cold wind, Dai Yang can not help but think of the original hot springs in Tieyan Mountain. Feel coming. When he recovered, Siruda had already snored in her arms.

"Well, this guy..." Dai Yang looked down at the delicate face of the demon leaning against his chest, and couldn't help being speechless. Medusa once said that this wise baby demon regarded him as a blood relative and loved him, and seeing the peaceful sleeping face of the winged demon in front of him, showing his wholehearted trust in the person in front of him, Dai Yang also had to believe it. Snake Ji's words.

"Really, you guy actually lived longer than me..."

Dai Yang stretched out his hand and twisted Xiruda's pink face. The sleeping demon shook his head and squeezed hard into his arms, but clasped him tighter with his wings.

Seeing that there was really no way to break free, Dai Yang had to give up his efforts, and then adjusted his posture slightly to make him sleep more comfortable. The body of the demon entangled Dai Yang, and the charm of the demon wafted from his nose. In the gentle and dreamlike village, Dai Yang's consciousness gradually blurred. At the moment before falling asleep, the sound of a lullaby hummed by no one seemed to sound in my ears...

※※※

Traveling through the desolate grassland in early winter should have been a chore, but with the company of Medusa and Siruda, the lonely journey became vibrant. In her free time on the road, Medusa took time to conduct rehabilitation training for Hiruda, and as she flew up and down again and again, Hiruda seemed to gradually regain the feeling of being a "Wing of Heaven". The blue figure dancing in the wind made Dai Yang admire again and again, and the large number of prey that he caught back was so much that he could hardly eat it.

After two days and two nights, by the morning of the third day, the carriage finally reached the edge of the Bell Grassland, which is at the foot of Tianzhao Peak. Looking up at the majestic giant mountain hidden in the mist, Dai Yang couldn't help but sighed melancholy. Of course, it was not the joyful journey that made him sigh here, but the large sum of money that was about to be spent.

What needs to be explained here is that the Musa Wings’ colony is named "Sari City". It is indeed built on Tianzhao Peak, but it is located at an altitude of more than four kilometers.

For wingmen with wings, the mere four kilometers of altitude does not prevent them from coming and going freely. However, for traveling merchants like Dai Yang, they must rely on two old horses that have been exhausted. It is an almost impossible task to pull a whole truck of cargo to the city of Saari, which is more than four kilometers above sea level. Ever since, for the convenience of travelers, the Musayi people kindly set up a "floating boat" for travelers as a ferry.

The so-called "floating boat" is actually a wooden flying boat powered by wind. Just like the dwarves are good at building magic weapons, the "floating boat" can also be said to be the unique craft of the Winged Human Race. The "floating boat" station is set at the foot of Tianzhao Peak, from here the travelers are transported to the city of Sari on Tianzhao Peak. Travelers only need to spend a ferry fee to save the hard work of climbing over the mountains and ride a pontoon to reach the Yiren settlement leisurely, which can be said to be a very convenient facility.

Since the wing people calculate the ferry fee according to the weight, for travelers who don't have much luggage, it won't be too expensive. However, if it is a traveling merchant who is pulling a whole truckload of goods like someone, and is going to make a fortune in the Wingren settlement, the ferry fee will be expensive to the level of vomiting blood-Dai Yang is currently embarrassed for this. NS.

"Tsk, smuggling or something, it should be impossible..."

Looking at the station in the distance, Dai Yang couldn't help but sighed heavily, and then turned around to greet the two demons in the back compartment.

"Medusa, Siruda, I have to call you back, is that okay?"

As the demon of Dai Yang, Medusa and Siruda can be recalled to the soul of the servant at any time. The demon who is recalled to the soul hides, the body will fall into a deep sleep, and the soul will be with the servant. For the two demons, of course they prefer free activities rather than sleeping in the soul hiding, but considering the riots that may be caused, this is also nothing.

"It's not enough, anyway, I'm not interested in Wingmen..." Medusa nodded, accepting Dai Yang's call, and her figure gradually returned to nothingness.

"Huh!" When it was Shiruda's turn, the naughty Wing Monster flew with a wave of wings.

As the post guarded by the Wingers was close at hand, Shiruda's actions scared Dai Yang almost falling off the carriage.

In a small-scale station like this, the appearance of ordinary monsters is enough to cause a riot, and if you see a higher-level monster, you don't know what it will become. Dai Yang immediately called Xi Luda down, but he was still a step late. Sheruda, who was running around in the sky, didn't know what she had hit. Dai Yang could only hear an exclamation, and then saw a figure falling from the sky.

The figure seemed to be a girl of the Winged Human Race, and she seemed to have collided with Shiruda, lost consciousness for a while, and fell straight down from the sky like a meteor falling to the ground.
