Chapter 1557 The Definition of a Brave (Meow huddled up in the snow)

Although the Demon King's army has more than 30,000 people, reality is not a game and they can fight to the last moment. In fact, after Duanmu Huai took the lead and passed through the Demon King's army, he and his soldiers only killed more than 10,000 people. The remaining orc soldiers completely collapsed and threw away their weapons and fled.

Not to mention that Logavia also added insult to injury, taking advantage of the chaos of the Demon King's army to come out and kill them, unleashing a vicious breath that had been surrounded for months. In the end, nearly half of the Demon King's army was killed, and the rest fled without a trace.

It was only then that Duanmu Huai came to the city gate, jumped off the back of the white dragon, and joined the Rogavia army. Then, he saw a blond girl hurried over and lowered her head towards him.

"I am Princess Lizlet of Logavia. Thank you for your help. May I ask who you are..."

"Hello, Your Highness Princess."

Duanmuhuai nodded to Lizlett, and then the secret agent beside him hurriedly introduced to the princess.

"Your Highness Princess, this is the brave man summoned from another world by our summoning country! It was under his leadership that we repelled the attack of the Demon King's army. Just two days ago, the brave man also killed The King of Fire, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has eliminated the demon threat in our country and came to assist you after learning about the situation in the Principality of Logavia!"

As he spoke, the spy also raised his head proudly. After all, these three big countries were also competing overtly and covertly. At present, their own brave men were obviously better. Of course, they also wanted to support the show!

"A...hero from another world?"

After hearing the secret agent's explanation, Lizlet was obviously a little confused. She raised her head and took a closer look at the man, who was two meters tall and wore black armor inlaid with a golden skull and a double-headed eagle logo. Warhammer, a bald man with a fierce look on his face...

You say this is a brave man?

A hero from another world...is this what he is?

Maybe...after all, he came from another world.

"Thank you, Lord Brave."

Lizlet bowed her head again and thanked her.

"If it weren't for the brave man, I'm afraid our Principality of Logavia would have been completely destroyed."

"It's nothing. It's my duty to eliminate threats to humanity."

Duanmu Huai carried the war hammer and looked around.

"By the way, I heard that you also have a brave man here? Where is he? Is he dead? I also want to see what the brave men in this world look like."

"Well………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's wild and uninhibited speaking style, Lizlet couldn't get used to it for a while, but fortunately, her savior came.

"Hey, Li Te, the battle is over, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, several people dressed as adventurers came over, and when she saw these people, Lizlet's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is the team from the Land of Kago."

She hurriedly introduced Duanmu Huai, and then turned to the brave team who had just arrived and didn't know what was going on.

"This is a brave man from another world summoned by the Kingdom of Summoning. It just so happens that he has something to talk to you about... I'm going to deal with the aftermath first!"

After saying this, Lizlet left as if running away. Instead, the brave team who stayed here looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what happened.

Then, they saw Duanmuhuai coming over.

"Are you the brave team?"

Looking at the adventurers in front of him, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes curiously and looked at them.

"So who is the brave?"

"…………"

No one answered, but they all turned their attention to a girl in the team. She had short blue shoulder-length hair and red eyes, and she looked quite cute. It's just that he didn't have any expression, he just stood there quietly without saying a word.

"Are you the brave man with protection? Come on, let me see..."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai walked up to the girl, stretched out his hand, lifted the girl's chin, and asked her to raise her head, and then stared at the girl.

Seeing their brave man being treated like this, the people next to him seemed to want to rush out and do something, but were quickly stopped, while Duanmu Huai stared at her and frowned slightly. The girl at this moment was still expressionless. Even if she looked directly at Duanmu Huai, or was looked directly at by Duanmu Huai, she had no reaction.

But from her eyes, Duanmu Huai had already figured out the truth of the matter.

"I see, this is the so-called protection of the brave? Are you kidding me?"

As a true **** with powerful divine power, Duanmu Huai could see through the situation of this young brave girl at a glance.

In fact, he was more inclined to the secret agent's statement. This so-called protection was actually more like a curse.

In other words, this is simply a curse!

A curse imposed by the gods!

In fact, this kind of curse is very common in myths and legends. For example, if a believer angers the **** by drinking too much, the **** will curse him so that drinking alcohol will be like drinking water, without any feeling, and he will never be drunk. For drunkards, this is naturally a fatal curse, but for non-drinkers, it seems to be just that.

And what is now imposed on this girl is this kind of curse!

She can't feel hot or cold, can't feel pain, and is not affected by toxins. She seems to be immune to all abnormal conditions, but in fact, if she can't feel anything, then she naturally has no real sense of being alive. If you can't feel pain, you naturally can't understand how serious your injuries are. Because of this, the girl did not have any emotional ups and downs even when facing Duanmu Huai. Because she was completely numb, she could no longer feel any stimulation from the outside world, and naturally it was impossible for her to have a similar reaction.

Not only that, Duanmu Huai also saw a series of designated curses on her body.

The so-called designated curse is to designate something that you are not allowed to do or are allowed to do. For example, if you are not allowed to touch a woman, then your body will not be able to comply with your desire to touch a woman. Even if you want to bump into a woman, your body will not allow you to do so.

The curse suffered by this girl is similar. For example, a brave man cannot give up his companions, or a brave man cannot ignore the suffering of those who are suffering.

Of course, these are the beautiful qualities of the legendary hero, but the problem is that it is the choice of the hero out of his own will, and this girl now has no right to choose at all. She is like a robot, an NPC, she will act when the command is triggered, no matter what she thinks, it doesn't matter!

This is completely using people as robots!

You call this thing a blessing from the gods? Then Ta Ma is an evil god!

To be honest, even in the world of Faerun, no **** is so idle and bored.

"Listen, little girl."

Staring at the girl, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and then spoke.

"This is not a blessing at all, but a curse, a curse imposed by the gods. I can help you lift these curses, but only if you are willing. I know you can hear me, so I asked One thing about you - do you hope you can be freed from this curse?"

"What are you talking about!"

After hearing this, the young brave girl didn't react yet, but the people in the team next to her reacted fiercely.

"How dare you say that! You don't understand what protection means to us!"

"I don't need to understand, I just act according to my knowledge and my understanding."

Duanmuhuai ignored the other party's roar.

"So, little girl? Do you want to be freed? This is your problem, you decide for yourself."

"………………"

However, the young brave girl just stared at Duanmu Huai without saying a word.

"Okay, then you think about it slowly."

Duanmuhuai didn't expect her to make a decision immediately, but waved his hand, let go of her, and then looked at the others.

"The same goes for you. If anyone wants to lift the curse, you can come to me."

"This is a blessing given to us by God!"

"Oh, that's what I want to say too."

Facing the woman who looked like a devout believer, Duanmu Huai also turned cold. "After destroying the devil, I will meet with you, the evil **** who treats human beings like toys, and then kill him."

"You, how dare you do this!"

"This is the duty of the Tribunal. We do not allow any existence to threaten mankind, whether it is a demon king or a god. Anyone who violates this rule will die."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Your so-called **** uses so-called protection to restrain humans. To the Tribunal, this is undisputed, a heretical atrocity against humans. Just wait, after I unscrew the devil's head, the next one is What the **** do you believe in?”

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and strode into the city.

"Tell the team to assemble. We're going into town. I hope their dinner is still hot!"

"Yes, Lord Brave!"

Logavia indeed held a sumptuous dinner for everyone to celebrate the victory. As a brave man, Duanmu Huai was of course invited to the scene. The rest were the executives and nobles of Logavia and the brave team - after all, without their hard work, the city of Logavia would have been lost long ago. .

Duanmu Huai didn't like socializing, but fortunately the nobles didn't dare to pester him, so after a hearty meal, Duanmu Huai took a bottle of wine and went to the balcony outside to enjoy the breeze.

While Duanmuhuai was blowing the bottle and watching the lively celebration parade in the city, the balcony door opened, and then a figure appeared behind Duanmuhuai.

"To be honest, I would rather have a woman come to me than a man."

Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze from the brightly lit street and looked at the man behind him.

"What do you want from me?"

"I do have something I want to talk to you about, Lord Brave."

The man held a wine glass and walked to Duanmu Huai.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gideon, Gideon Ragnarsson...my sister Luti is a protected warrior."

"You are the brother of that unfortunate girl."

Duanmuhuai shook the wine bottle.

"So, why did you come to me?"

"..."

Gideon looked out at the night scene and was silent for a moment.

"Can you really remove the protection from Luti?"

"Of course, but this should be her decision, not yours."

"That's true. In fact, I agree with your point of view. Protection is a curse, not a blessing."

Gideon lowered his head, his voice low.

"The child has protection that is ineffective in abnormal conditions, but do you know what it is like? She will not feel cold or heat, nor will she feel pain. She even has no chance to sleep and eat because of sleep and hunger. It’s also an abnormal state, so it’s completely ruled out.”

"Boy, this is really awesome."

Duanmu Huai silently praised her, it was really not easy for this girl to survive until now, while Gideon raised his head and looked at the stars with a melancholy look on his face.

"When she was young, the child once went to the mountains to save a missing friend, and then her friend was attacked by a bear. The child should have run away at that time, but she couldn't. Because 'a brave man cannot ignore death without saving'. ’, so even if she is killed, she can only stand there and fight against the terrible bear to protect her friends. It is not out of her own will, but because of the protection. "

"…………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

What kind of stupid thing is this?

"To be honest, I have always hoped that my sister could get rid of all this. Although she has indeed become very powerful now, I can't imagine what she will be like after she defeats the Demon King. However, as a brave, this is what she must Things to do..."

"I don't think so."

Duanmuhuai shook his head and interrupted Gideon.

"To be honest, after I came to this world, I felt that the people in your world were stupid."

"………madness?"

"Yes, you seem to believe from the bottom of your heart that only the brave can defeat the Demon King, and no one else can, right?"

"......Isn't that so?"

"Of course not."

Duanmuhuai raised his head again and blew a bottle of wine.

"You have mistaken the relationship between cause and effect. It is not the brave who can defeat the devil, but the one who defeats the devil, who is qualified to be called a brave. Everyone can kill the devil, whether you are a brave or not, as long as you defeat the devil, then you He is a brave man, it’s that simple.”

Duanmuhuai threw the empty bottle aside.

"Actually, I have experienced a similar world before. At that time, I met a team of adventurers who also went to fight against the demon king of that world. There was a guy among them. His dream was to become a hero and brave, destroy the demon king, and protect the world. man. So he set out on an adventure, and He eliminated the demon king's subordinates and tried his best to help the humans who were harmed by the demons - it was not because of the protection requirement, but because he did it willingly. It can be said that besides being a bit handsome, this guy. He’s a bit nosy, but otherwise he’s very much in line with the brave man’s style.”

"Haah..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Gideon didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at Duanmu Huai and decided to remain silent.

Duanmuhuai continued.

"At that time, this team of adventurers went to look for the Sword of the Brave. Because it is said that only the brave can pull out the Sword of the Brave, so they went to that place and tried to pull out the Sword of the Brave."

"Then what? Did he succeed?"

"He failed."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"He did not pull out the sword of the brave, that is to say, he was not the legendary brave. But he did not give up because of this. On the contrary, he continued on the road to defeat the Demon King, because he believed that even if there is no brave As long as you defeat the Demon King, the sword in your hand will be the sword of the brave..."

Duanmuhuai chuckled and looked at Gideon.

"Do you understand? That's it, the brave is an honorary title, rather than treating the brave as a savior and patron saint. Thinking that you just need to push everything to the brave, because this is the mission of the brave - this is just a kind of laziness and Just shirking responsibility. Because I am not a hero, so I will not fight against the devil? The role is just fine, right?”

"…………"

No one spoke, and it was a moment before Gideon's voice came again.

"Thank you for your advice."

"You're welcome."

Duanmuhuai picked up a bottle of wine again, waved his hand, and then opened the door. The sound of closing the door sounded behind him. Duanmuhuai sighed and looked at the sky.

"Sure enough, just like before, compared to the enemy standing on the opposite side, the guy standing next to you is the most dangerous."
