Home of the Brave

Dai Yang closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, resisting the invasion of the severe cold. He did not guard against his body sinking. In an instant, he only felt the cold wind passed away, as if something warm and soft was wrapping himself behind his back. He opened his eyes suspiciously and saw that Afrah did not know when to sit next to him, and stretched out the wings behind him to block the cold from behind for him.

"Um, I think you look cold..." Facing the man's gaze, Afrah twisted her body shyly. "Also, is it still cold?"

"Huh? Ah, it's not cold anymore... It's warm, thank you."

Dai Yang thanked Aphra, but Aphra bit her lip and looked away shyly. Dai Yang felt embarrassed for a while and turned his attention to the wings that wrapped him. The wings are the blue color that symbolizes the sky, exudes a warm glow in the dark, and the touch is extremely soft. Dai Yang looked at it and couldn't help reaching out and touching Qingyi, but he heard Afrah's exclaim and pulled the wings back like a reflection.

"Uh..." Losing the cover of warm wings, Dai Yang was instantly exposed to the cold of purgatory. But because it is self-inflicted, it is difficult for people to sympathize. "No, I'm sorry... hello!" Dai Yang apologized to Afra while sneezing, because he had had a warm experience, and at this time felt the bitter cold intolerance, and couldn't help but cheeky begging. "Well, can you... hello! Take your wings... hello! Lend me again to keep out the cold?"

Afraid turned her head and didn't look at Dai Yang, but quietly stretched her wings, and again blocked the severe cold for him.

"Hey, I'm finally saved..." Dai Yang exhaled, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, but as much as possible to shrink his body under the protection of warm wings.

The man's body rubbed his sensitive wings, and Afrah's face couldn't help getting redder. However, Dai Yang, who was only looking for warmth, didn't notice the girl's reaction. As a result, Aretha, who couldn't see it, walked over.

"You, don't move." Aretha scolded the man. "Originally, only husbands can enjoy this kind of treatment. My sister has done this to you. Can't you be a little more settled?"

"Huh? My husband...husband?" Dai Yang looked at Aretha in shock.

"Of course. Karan women are clean and self-conscious. If a man dares to touch his wings casually, he must have the consciousness of losing his arm." As she explained, she sat down next to Dai Yang on the other side. "The only men who can touch the wings of Karan women are their husbands or very close people. As of today, apart from the father, the sister has never let any man touch her wings."

"A...Arisa, don't, stop talking..."

When Dai Yang was stunned, Afraid over there was already blushing. She called to her sister in a begging tone, but Aretha seemed to laugh happily, spread her wings, and surrounded the man from the front-as far as common sense is concerned, her actions and what she said It doesn't seem to correspond at all.

On the other hand, in the infinite warmth wrapped by the two pairs of wings, Dai Yang's mouth was as big as a goose egg.

"Why show such an expression? I am, but thank you so much." Aretha intimately hugged the man's arm, and the soft touch from the arm made Dai Yang's heart surging for a while, and she could only hear it. Sister Wing Man continued: "In the Valley of the Raven King, if you hadn't saved your sister, I'm afraid I would have lost my sister... And this time, without your help, I couldn't get rid of the sky spear. Not to mention. Said to be reincarnated as the Holy Spirit like this and be with my sister."

"Uh, I just... did what I wanted to do." Dai Yang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"...Well, yes." Aretha raised her head to stare at Dai Yang, then nodded slightly after a while, revealing a bright smile that seemed to glow. "You are the first, the first person to help us without any evil thoughts. That's why my sister is so obsessed with you..." These blunt words made Dai Yang and Afram into embarrassment at the same time. , But Aretha's gaze seemed to drift to a distant place.

"My elder sister and I, known as the'ominous twins' and the'ghost boy of disaster', have been hated by the people since birth. If our father had not tried to protect us, maybe there would be no chance of survival... to Until I was expelled from the tribe, I had prayed to Albers for redemption countless times. I couldn’t remember how many times I had knelt before the altar until I lost consciousness, but Albers did not respond to my prayer..."

Aretha's voice was as indifferent as she was telling someone else's story. Dai Yang couldn't help but feel sad, and was about to say something to comfort him, but Aphra on the other side unconsciously leaned closer. With both hands held by the sisters, Dai Yang, who was completely unable to move, had to shut his mouth and listen quietly to what the sister Yiren said.

"When I hated Albers, the high priest Bloom reached out to us. I thought I was abandoned by Albers, so I followed the high priest’s advice and joined the faith of Flaus... I thought I could be redeemed. , But in the end it just became a used chess piece, and...he actually did that kind of thing to his sister!" Aretha's tone revealed strong hatred, biting her silver teeth bitterly, as if she was regretting not. Opportunity for revenge.

"Arisa...I'm fine, Arisa." Afrah cuddled the man and stretched out a hand to hold her sister.

"Well, yes, sister." Aretha held her sister's hand, and her voice returned to her previous gentleness.

In this way, the two sisters held hands and stared at each other through the man, an indescribable warm atmosphere diffused in the cold night. On the other hand, Dai Yang, who was surrounded by this breath, fell into an embarrassing situation-two pairs of warm wings, one after the other, isolated from the severe cold. In the soft-touch feather quilt, his right hand was held by Afra, and his left hand was held by Aresa. The sisters' hands were clasped in front of his chest, like invisible shackles that made him unable to move.

Dai Yang felt like he had become a bridge, maintaining the bond that the sisters once lost. Although I was very helpless for being assigned to such a role, I didn't suffer anyway, and I was happy to take the opportunity to enjoy the fun of having beautiful jade in my arms, hugging left and right...

(Well, it's so big, people who practice martial arts are really different...)

Dai Yang secretly compared the oppression that came from both arms, only felt that Afrah's side was obviously better.

(However, the feeling here is also very good, slippery and tender...)

With the subtle touch from the back of his hand, Dai Yang quietly distinguished the difference between the sisters. Compared with the practiced Afrah, Aretha's skin is much more delicate. The smooth touch aroused the man's unruly mind. Dai Yang's mind showed the sultry scene when those slender jade legs overlapped each other. For a moment, he only felt the blood and blood, and his left hand couldn't help but touch something unusually soft. The place.

"……Ah!"

Aretha's tender voice sounded, and Dai Yang's heart almost jumped out. He glanced at his sister tremblingly, only to see Aretha glancing across him like a silk. Dai Yang was shocked and was about to withdraw his hand, but felt that his hand was first held, and then quietly guided to a warm place with a little moisture.

(Hey, this... is this...)

Dai Yang's eyes widened in an instant, only to hear Aresa gasping in her ear again, and nosebleeds almost spurted out on the spot.

"Arisa? Are you uncomfortable?" Afraid on the other side heard the movement and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, sister." Aretha blinked at someone nervous, and answered with a smile. "We will continue on the road tomorrow. Why don't we rest earlier?"

"Yeah, okay." Afrah nodded in agreement, then hesitated, leaning into the man's ear and whispering "good night".

"Late...good night." Dai Yang bit his scalp in response, but his left hand was stuck there and couldn't move. Hearing the sound of Aretha's laughter from over there, even if he was surrounded by warm feathers, he couldn't be sure that he would be safe tonight.

※※※

As the scorching sun rises to the horizon, the desert of Purgatory has once again returned to the heat of the day.

The blazing sun burns the ground hot, and the air around you can see gossamer wafting everywhere. Even the brave adventurer will not want to embark on a journey at this moment, but for Dai Yang, there is a reason to have to go ahead with the scorching sun— -He is here to rescue Ji Yao, compared to the moonlight night, the day with plenty of sunshine is of course more conducive to searching for the target's trail. Besides, the extremely cold environment at night is not necessarily more comfortable than the heat during the day.

Afrau and Aresa have a supernatural protection, no matter the cold and heat will not harm them, but for the flesh and blood black-haired youth, after yesterday and today's exposure, their bodies are already on the verge of dehydration. Dai Yang moistened his chapped lips with a little saliva, and while looking into the distance, he asked Aretha next to him.

"By the way, we killed so many guards yesterday, won't Flaus take care of it?"

"No." Aretha answered quickly. "Basically, whether Albers or Flaus, the six pillar gods only have absolute authority in their own gods, and our arrival has made purgatory here border the world. According to the agreement, Fula Uth cannot directly interfere with the evolution of the world, and of course Albers is the same."

"In other words, can we only rely on ourselves here..." Dai Yang smiled bitterly, and then noticed Aretha's indifferent tone. Neither Albers nor Flaus seemed to have much favor. And when he said his feelings, Aretha suddenly carved a few wrinkles on the bridge of her nose, and replied in a clearly dissatisfied tone.

"I said it last night. Albers abandoned me, Flaus used me... Gods like this, do you think I will have respect?"
