Home of the Brave

"In terms of body protection items, isn't the power too strong..." Dai Yang began to evaluate the power of sound and light bombs. "Otherwise, how about promoting it as a special effect against orcs? So even if the price is increased to 30 lien, some people should want it...By the way, this uncle, do you have 30 lien on your body? "

Dai Yang looked at the uncle with the heroic beard in front of him, intending to get the first pot of gold on him. However, the other party still seemed to be shocked by the cruel scene in front of him, staring blankly at Shang Dao, so that Dai Yang had to stretch out his hand and wave in front of him.

"Hey! Uncle, call you! Is there thirty lien?"

"Thirty lien? No, I didn't bring money..."

"Huh? No money?" Dai Yang frowned upon hearing this. "Hey, am I not doing a free job?"

There is still a huge deficit of one hundred thousand lien, but here is wasting money for no reason. This fact makes Dai Yang's mood even more gloomy. Just looking at the desolate appearance of the uncle with beard and armor in front of him, he really couldn't bear to be embarrassed.

"No way, just treat it as a good deed... If you have the chance to see you again in the future, remember to pay me thirty miles, uncle."

Dai Yang sighed helplessly, waved and was about to leave, but he was caught by Uncle Beard.

"Wait...wait, wait! Brother, did you just save me?" It sounded that Uncle Beard had only grasped the situation until now, showing a grateful expression to Dai Yang. "If this is the case, then help people to the end, how about taking me to the Temple of Stormwind?"

"Storm Temple? Just in front of this, just walk down the road and you will be there." Dai Yang pointed to Shang Dao. "I'm still busy earning money to pay off debts, but I don't have time to accompany you, uncle."

"...Strange, I just walked along the road, how could I hit the orc colony..." A sad sigh leaked from the uncle bearded mouth, but he still held Dai Yang in his hand, like falling into the water. People desperately grabbed the root of life-saving straw. "Don't say that, little brother. Uncle is not familiar with the roads around here, so you can help bring me to the Temple of Stormwind, okay? Together with this life-saving grace, the uncle will repay you well."

"Repay?" Dai Yang blinked and looked at the uncle who looked rather desperate in front of him with questioning eyes.

"Well!" Uncle Beard coughed heavily, puffing up his chest as if emphasizing something. "Don't look at the appearance of the uncle, but he is the duke! Thank you, you will never be treated badly, little brother."

"Huh? The Duke?" Dai Yang couldn't help being stunned when he heard the uncle bearded himself declare his identity. Looking up and down at his desolate appearance, his original questioning eyes further escalated to doubt. "Hey, uncle, even if you want me to help you, you don't have to make up this kind of nonsense. I can barely believe that it is the earl. When it comes to the duke... where in the world is there riding a boar like you? The duke who ran after the orcs? Can't you even hire a guard?"

"Uh, of course the guards... I was left behind." The bearded uncle who claimed to be the "Duke" pulled his beard with an awkward expression.

"Left behind?" Dai Yang looked at the empty Shang Dao, without concealing his suspicion at all.

"It's true, little brother...Oh, forget it, I'll tell you all..." Uncle Duke sighed and explained to Dai Yang earnestly. "My daughter is in the Temple of Stormwind! I haven't contacted me much. I finally got news of her return to the temple yesterday. When I got excited, I rushed out on a horse... The horse that the uncle rode is a good horse from a thousand, guard Of course we can’t keep up! I thought that you would walk straight along the road to the Temple of Stormwind, but who knew that the bad horse ran into the orc colony... In the end, I had no choice but to grab a wild boar and rush out. Later, you were saved by my little brother."

"Broken into the orc tribe..." Dai Yang was speechless.

In order to prevent attacks by the human army, the orcs often build settlements in the most secret places in the wilderness. And this uncle who claimed to be the "Duke" clearly walked along the business road to the Temple of Stormwind, but he ran into the inaccessible orc colony. How could it be possible to do this kind of thing?

"...I understand." Dai Yang sighed and nodded. Regardless of the identity of the uncle in front of him, it is indeed a very dangerous thing to let such a road fool run around, so Dai Yang planned to do a good job to the end and send him to the Temple of Stormwind. "Forget it, uncle, I will send you to the Temple of Stormwind... My name is Dai Yang, what do you call it?"

"You promised? Thank you so much, little brother." The Duke shook Dai Yang's hand gratefully and reported his full name. "My full name is Embryon von Reynard. You can call me Uncle Leonard, little brother, or you can call me Uncle."

"Okay, Uncle Leonard..." Dai Yang reached out and shook hands with the Duke, suddenly becoming messy. "Huh? Wait, Embryon?"

※※※

It took about half an hour to walk from the scene of the attack on Shangdao to Temple Street, during which time he did not encounter the harassment of the orcs. Although the fact that he was able to reach his destination without incident made the Duke seem very happy, this time was not enough to calm Dai Yang completely-at least he was not calm enough to accept that the uncle Hu was next to him. Adult facts.

"Hehe, here it is! Little brother, it's really hard for you!" The Duke patted his shoulder and thanked him in a warm voice.

"No...you're welcome." Dai Yang reluctantly said, with a somewhat stiff tone in his voice.

After listening to Miranda's description yesterday, Dai Yang naturally imagined the duke as a middle-aged aristocrat who was both strict and rigid. Coupled with Conrad's precedent, he even imagined the possibility of a head-on conflict with the Duke in the worst case. However, in the various pre-plans that Dai Yang had conceived, there was no such thing as shaking hands with Master Tai Shan and calling them brothers and sisters.

Of course, compared to the expectations of all kinds of bad conflicts, encounters like this are not much better. It's just that the pre-plans Dai Yang prepared based on the Miko's description were almost all in the face of harsh and difficult situations, so he didn't know how to explain it at this time. Can't you just yell "Father-in-law" directly?

"Little brother, your face is not good? Just say don't care about my identity!" The Duke seemed to have misunderstood Dai Yang's attitude, and said cheerfully.

"Uh, okay, Duke...Uncle." Dai Yang smiled unnaturally and asked the question in his heart. "Speaking of which, Uncle Leonard, you seem to be different from other nobles? You don't have that kind of domineering feeling. You seem to be very used to socializing with civilians."

"Haha, can you tell it?" The Duke shrugged happily. "In fact, when I was young, I used to be an adventurer, and I formed a group with my companions to travel around the continent of Palamia, went to the Dragon's Nest, fought demons, and taught those stinky nobles who only knew how to put on airs... so Ah, brother, you don’t have to worry about the identity of the uncle at all. Besides, you are the savior of the uncle, the uncle will definitely thank you very much!"

"It turns out that uncle has been an adventurer, doesn't it feel very familiar." After finding some familiar elements, Dai Yang's heart relaxed a little.

"Really? In fact, uncle, I also think that you look very kind, the little brother, is this fate? Ahahaha!" The Duke laughed and slapped Dai Yang on the back, the force of force almost made Dai Yang almost Fell out. In fact, think about it carefully. Is it an ordinary person who can break into the orc colony single-handedly, but can still kill a wild boar? Dai Yang guessed that the Duke should have been a famous adventurer.

(In this case, maybe it can work... However, Miranda's description is too much deviation...)

On the way to the Temple of Stormwind, Dai Yang and the Duke had a very happy chat, and the hanging heart slowly let go. I was thinking of flashing people first after arriving at the Temple of Stormwind, and then looking for a chance to reveal his identity to the Duke, but unexpectedly just stepped on the steps of the temple, I heard a familiar greeting from behind.

"You are here, Yang. Xia Luwei went to pick you up, you didn't meet her... eh?"

Hearing the interruption of "Uh", Dai Yang knew something was going to happen. Looking back, I saw Miranda walking from the direction of the street. The maiden was dressed in casual clothes, and her astonished gaze was fixed on the duke beside him. On the other hand, when he suddenly saw his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the Duke was also a little surprised. Then soon, a grand surprise appeared on his face, opened his arms, and ran towards the maiden with strides and meteors.

"Good girl! I always think I have seen you! I think so hard for my father!"

"Huh? Huh? Father...father?" Miranda, who seemed to be shocked by the situation before him, forgot to dodge, so he was held in his arms by his father.

"Wait...wait, what's going on? Yang, you... why are you with your father?"

Miranda struggled in the Duke's bear hug, looking at Dai Yang with flustered eyes.

"Uh, I met the lost uncle on the way back, and then brought him here." Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders and briefly summarized.

"Is that so? You haven't told your father...Ahhh! Annoying! Go away!"

The Duke’s heartfelt joy did not seem to be able to reach his daughter. Miranda, who was uncomfortably tied with his beard, finally couldn't help but froze. A magic hammer blasted the Duke out. The Duke was blasted back five or six meters away, smashed the stone railing next to the steps, and made a loud rumbling noise.

"Hey, it's too cruel to start, right?" Dai Yang was taken aback, and hurried over to help the Duke.

"Um, no, accidentally..." Miranda looked down at her hand, showing embarrassment.

"Wow ha ha ha ha! Don't worry, little brother, this level is just daily homework!" The Duke who was bombarded by the hammer, laughed and stood up from the rubble. Looking at the bear-like burly physique, it seemed that there was no need to worry. I saw the Duke curiously asking.

"Yes, little brother, do you know my daughter?"
