Home of the Brave

"You, do you seem to value that female wing person very much?" Ming Ye asked tentatively.

Regarding her question, Dai Yang was silent at first, and after a long time, he spoke slowly.

"...When I was a kid, I was a very bad kid." It didn't seem to be a pleasant memory, Dai Yang's voice was very low. "At that time, Paona and Noin were in charge of taking care of me. Paona took care of my diet and daily life, while Noin took care of my bodyguard... At that time, I didn't know what restraint was at all, it was just unscrupulous. The squandering of power has caused Paona a lot of trouble.

"Really? I can't tell at all." Ji Yao looked at him suspiciously.

"At that time, I was really ignorant. I was just squandering my strength, but I just got Nuoyin into danger." Dai Yang looked at his right hand with self-deprecation, as if something invisible was carried in his palm. Of heavy objects. "No matter how much I am in danger, no matter how my life is hanging by a thread, I think I will be safe in the end, but in fact it is not the case. Without Noin's inseparable guardianship, I would have become a corner of the maze. The corpse is...but I didn't understand this at that time. My father also reprimanded me several times, but I didn't take it to heart. I always thought it was a matter of course for Noin to be by my side."

Dai Yang, who said this, grasped his outstretched hand into a fist.

"That time, I broke into the abyss labyrinth recklessly, and Nuoyin was seriously injured to protect me... At that time, looking at Nuoyin falling in a pool of blood, I realized that I was not fearless. So far, I can It was safe and sound, because Nuoyin used the wounds on his body in exchange for it... When I noticed this, when I thought about losing Nuoyin, I was really scared. I had never feared like that...Although, afterwards, Nuoyin I finally woke up, but lost an eye."

"Um..." Ji Yao tried to understand his words. "In other words, she is your savior?"

"Savior?" Dai Yang shook his head with a bitter expression. "It's not such a simple thing. The kindness I owe Noyin, I'm afraid I won't pay it back for a lifetime."

"Oh, that's it..." Ji Yao let out such a sigh. "So let's say she is blind in one eye, so you will put on that scary face?"

"...That's right." Dai Yang frowned and looked at Ji Yao, and emphasized again: "I can't tolerate any insult to Noin. This is not a joke. If you want to stay, you must abide by this."

"Yes, even if you don't have to face up, we already know it." Ji Yao waved his hand and looked at him with meaningful eyes. "But, I didn't expect you to be obsessed with that type of woman...Speaking of which, how do you humans call this tendency? Oedipus complex? Or, mature women's addiction?"

Ji Yao tilted his head cutely, and spit out lines that were totally inconsistent with the serious atmosphere. At the moment when Dai Yang heard the lines, he let off his strength and looked at the witch over there with weak eyes.

"...You fellow, don't just spoil the atmosphere, okay?"

"Huhu, are we right?" Ji Yao immediately smiled like a witch. "I don't mind? If you like that type of woman, we can also perform. It seems like just now, are you tempted?"

"Move your head!" Dai Yang cut off the topic roughly. "And what's the matter with you? Suddenly disappeared after that day, where did you go?"

"Let's spy on the enemy's situation." Ji Yao replied like this.

"Reconnaissance of the enemy?" Dai Yang was taken aback when he heard the words. "What kind of hostility?"

"You, don't you think that the group of cannibal crows were born out of thin air?" Ji Yao shook his head with an expression of "You can't teach you." "The ogre is a kind of monster, and the monster is the family of the monster. If there is no monster sent behind, it is impossible for ordinary monsters to act on a large scale like that."

"...In other words, a certain demon sent a man-eater to attack Saari City?" Dai Yang frowned. "Hey, shouldn't this matter have anything to do with you?"

When I was in Tieyan Mountain last time, the jealousy attracted the demons to attack the streets, which resulted in a series of commotions. Dai Yang took it for granted that the man-eating crow was also related to her, but who knew Ji Yao shook his head and expressed his denial. "No, this incident has nothing to do with us. We are just a spectator. It is the Wingers themselves who attract the hostility of the monsters."

"Ying Ren himself? Is there a demon watching the sky spear?"

"What? Do you want to know?" Listening to the jealous demon's tone, she seemed to already know the truth.

"...You will tell me, right?" Dai Yang asked tentatively.

"Well, it's okay for us to tell you, but isn't it costless?"

"cost?"

Dai Yang showed a toothache expression after hearing this. Although he really wanted to know the truth, he looked at the appearance of Ji Yao planning to take the opportunity to rip off. After carefully evaluating the stakes, Dai Yang decided to investigate it on his own.

"...Forget it, anyway, I will stay in Saari City until the end of the heavenly election ceremony, as long as you don't cause trouble." Dai Yang looked at Ji Yao with a worried look.

"We are not interested in asking for trouble. There are enough troubles here. We just need to watch the excitement next to me." Ji Yao pursed his lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the man's attitude. "Furthermore, you are the one who is really caught up in the trouble! Even if you want to stay out of the matter, it's too late. Maybe you will be in trouble soon, and you can't hide if you want to hide!"

"Hey, less crow's mouth! I am a kind and harmless little businessman, who will come to trouble?"

Dai Yang questioned Ji Yao's prediction, but the latter's prediction was quickly fulfilled.

※※※

It was dusk when Dai Yang returned to the hotel, and after talking with Ji Yao for a while, the sky was completely dark. Without waiting for him to speak, Ji Yao naturally took up a bed and fell asleep comfortably, seemingly not worried that a man would take the opportunity to harm him. On the other hand, there were extra beds anyway, so Dai Yang let her go after thinking about it, and slept in another bed.

Probably because he was too happy to see Nuoyin today, even after lying down, Dai Yang was so excited that he couldn't sleep. After half asleep and half awake until late at night, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

"……what sound?"

There was a faint sound from the roof, but it didn't look like a rat. Dai Yang looked at the ceiling in doubt, only to find that Ji Yao didn't know when he was standing by the window sill. Noting that the black-haired young man woke up, Ji Yao gestured to him, as if to ask him to lean in quietly.

"...What happened?" Dai Yang tiptoedly leaned over, and asked in a low voice.

"Someone is asking for trouble." Ji Yao responded to him with the same volume, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Hey, no..." Dai Yang's expression suddenly became bitter.

"Did we say that?" Ji Yao blinked his eyes triumphantly, then looked back as if thinking of something. "Right, wait..."

Under Dai Yang's surprised gaze, Ji Yao went to put the quilt of the two people's bed as if someone was sleeping, and then quietly came back, with a mischievous childish look on his face.

"Okay, let's go up and have a look!"

"Go up and have a look? Hey, are you sure..."

Dai Yang hesitated, but Ji Yao had already turned over and jumped out of the window.

Her movements were light and catlike, she climbed to the roof without making any sound, and gestured to the man to follow. Dai Yang looked at the cold wind outside, and then looked back at the warm bed, showing an expression of intense struggle, but in the end he succumbed to the silent threat of jealousy grinning. Accompanied by the evil spirit and light skill, Dai Yang climbed up to the roof like this. The cold wind on the roof made him shiver, and then saw Ji Yao beckoning to him behind the chimney, and leaned in helplessly.

"Look over there." Ji Yao gestured to Dai Yang.

Looking in the direction that Ji Yao pointed, Dai Yang saw several dark figures moving on the roof of the hotel.

There are four black shadows. They have no wings behind them, but they are wearing black night clothes and black masks on their faces. They look like they are hidden in the night. Only through the thin moonlight can they see a little faintly. The silhouette of the man in black sneaking around on the roof late at night, if it appears in the story of the lingering poet, it should be a picture of "how suspicious you look at it", right?

"What are they doing?" Dai Yang asked Ji Yao in a low voice.

"How do we know?" Ji Yao was breathing with his hands, and he answered like this.

He probably just woke up after hearing the movement, Ji Yao was only wearing thin clothes. Although the close-fitting cotton clothing outlines the master's graceful figure, it cannot provide enough protection against the cold. Dai Yang looked at the purple-haired witch curled up behind the chimney and quietly rubbed her hands, gave a wry smile, took off his clothes and put them on her.

"Huh?" Ji Yao exclaimed, seemingly surprised.

"Don't mind, madam first." Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders.

"...We didn't care!" Ji Yao responded with a ferocious expression, but stretched out his hand to tighten his clothes.

At this time, the people in black over there seemed to have confirmed something. They stood in their respective positions on the roof in pairs, then took out the fire folds, lit them and held them high towards the sky, looking like some kind of mysterious religion. ceremony. Just when Dai Yang was puzzled, suddenly there were two muffled sounds of "poof" and "poof" on the roof over there, and then the four figures in black clothes extinguished the fire as if they were being signaled. Go into the darkness.

"Where to escape!"

Ji Yao rushed out one step faster than Dai Yang, and the forceful shout immediately stunned the man in black.

"Go! My loyal servant, catch them!"

"...Who is your servant?"

Although he said so, Dai Yang rushed up with Ji Yao. The four men in black exuded a mysterious aura, it was impossible to stop them all, so he rushed towards the two men in black on the left. The demon flow turned down, and Dai Yang's hair and eyes turned purple again. Just as he stopped the two men in black on the left, Ji Yao also cut off the men in black on the other side.

The late-night fighting on the roof of the hotel's "Homing Bird" kicked off in this way...
