Home of the Brave

"Miranda, my classmate when I was in Wang's College."

Starting with this sentence, Xia Luwei began to talk about Miranda.

Miranda, whose full name is Miranda von Emblione, is the second daughter of the Duke of Emblione. Unlike the infamous fallen aristocrats like the Isher family, the Embryon family is a great aristocrat located in the power center of the kingdom. As the second daughter of the duke, Miranda's identity is completely different from that of the fallen aristocrat Xia Luwei.

In addition to the admirable identity, Miranda itself also has outstanding talents. It can even be said that the talents possessed are so high that no one in the entire college can match. The Royal College is the highest institution of the Gulambel Kingdom. It takes at least five years for most people to pass all relevant course tests from enrollment to graduation, but Miranda only took three years to complete it. Compared with this dazzling talent, that same outstanding beauty has become a foil-like existence.

Miranda, who is both talented and beautiful, with both family background and cultivation, is an exceptionally dazzling existence in the academy. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for a person like this to be at the top of the pyramid to have a relationship with Xia Luwei, but there are always exceptions to everything.

In fact, the Royal Academy also has practical training courses, and Miranda is one of the best. During a certain free training session, Xia Luwei was always alienated by everyone, but Miranda, who passed by, suddenly became interested in her ancient swordsmanship and asked for sparring. At that time, Xia Luwei accepted Miranda's request almost flattered, and then the two had their first battle with everyone watching.

Almost everyone thought that Miranda would win easily, but the fact was that after only two or three rounds, Miranda's stabbing sword flew out. This result made everyone fall through, but Xia Luwei's panic still prevailed. On the other hand, Miranda also found it difficult to accept the fact that he suffered a defeat for the first time in actual combat training, so he picked up the sword and challenged again. As a result, until sunset that day, several battles between the two men ended with Xia Luwei's victory.

That time, Xia Luwei's strength was recognized by all the audience, but for Miranda, it was the first time she tasted the bitter taste of "inferior skills". If you change to another noble child, I am afraid that it will be difficult to digest this regret, so I will desperately find the female knight in trouble, right? But Miranda is completely different from those ordinary nobles. Not only does she recognize Xia Luwei's swordsmanship talent, she also takes the initiative to team up with Xia Luwei during actual combat training. In the process of tempering each other, their combat skills have rapidly improved to levels beyond the reach of others, and the seeds of friendship are unknowingly sown.

Because of the decline of aristocratic status, Xia Luwei often received unequal treatment in the college. Xia Luwei was accustomed to this and chose to endure it silently, but Miranda could not accept it.

"How can I accept it like this!" Miranda always scolded Xia Luwei like this, and gave back ten times the color to those bullying guys. Once Xia Luwei was unable to qualify for the Cavaliers Test, she even went to the principal's office to talk to the principal directly. This incident almost caused a sensation in the entire Wang Family Academy.

Miranda has a strong sense of justice and courageous execution. Among the noble children who are accustomed to self-centeredness, it is a noble quality that shines like gold. However, she, who has always been looked up to by everyone, has never experienced the suffering of the subordinates, so she has always lacked flexibility in the way of dealing with problems. For example, Miranda left the Royal Academy a year ago due to early graduation. The consequences of his tough policy were immediately apparent after that, and the malice of losing suppression bounced back on the female knight. In the last period of leaving the college, Xia Luwei had a harder time than ever.

"... The last time Miranda wrote to me was about half a year ago. The letter said that she decided to go to the Temple of the Storm to practice priesthood, and she encouraged me to cheer. Because Miranda is the kind of person who does what she says, so I I guess she should be cultivating in the Temple of Stormwind now, but she didn't expect to become the witch of Albers...Sure enough, talented people are different."

Xia Luwei shook her head with a wry smile, ending the long introduction with these words.

"Oh, does that wicked lady have such a background?"

Although Dai Yang said this in his mouth, his tone was quite disapproving. His attitude disturbed Xia Luwei, so she tried to defend her friend.

"Well, Yang, Miranda is not the kind of woman you think, the real she is actually very gentle..."

"Don't worry, I won't ask her for compensation." Dai Yang waved his hand jokingly, but then his expression became solemn. "But having said that, let's leave aside today's affairs for the time being. Maybe your good sister might get into big trouble..."

"what?"

"Did you just hear that too? She said she came to crusade against Silver Dragon." Dai Yang pointed out. "Although I don’t know why the witch of the **** of storm wants to challenge the dragon clan, the dragon’s nest is not a place where anyone can come and go. Going alone to challenge the silver emperor Frost and Snow, the worst result may be like you last time. In that way, the captive who became the black steward said not necessarily."

"But... But Miranda is the witch of Albers. With the blessing of Albers' supernatural power, it might be possible to succeed..."

"That's even worse." Dai Yang interrupted Xia Luwei. "If the Frost Snow Silver Emperor is gone, think about what will happen?"

"Ah!" Xia Luwei covered her mouth and exclaimed when she thought of the evil results that Dai Yang had analyzed in the past.

"And what worries me even more is..." I don't know what to think of, Dai Yang twisted his brows together tightly. "She lives in'Liu Ke Yu', where is the lair of the bad middle-aged? If the guy who is afraid of the world will instill some strange knowledge into her, the result is likely to turn a single spark into a prairie flame. Things are getting out of hand!"

"No... won't it be so serious?" Xia Luwei felt incomprehensible to his worries. "Uncle Wibley is just warm-hearted, as if there is no malice..."

"Naive! You are too naive!" Dai Yang interrupted her. "The favorite thing that the dying middle-aged likes to do is to light up a fire, then hide, and watch others try to put out the fire and laugh!"

"Yes...Is that so..."

"Of course it is!" Dai Yang nodded vigorously to confirm. "I warned her today, but she didn't seem to listen at all..."

Dai Yang, who said this, put his hand on the shoulder of the female knight, and cautiously said: "So just in case, Xia Luwei, you should take the time to visit the'Liu Ke Yu' tomorrow? Let's ask you. What the **** did that good sister do in Lanlos Town, she also warned her not to repeat your mistakes."

※※※

Frost Snow Silver Emperor’s lair is located in the Frost Mountains, and Lanlos Town at the foot of the mountains is the only way to the Dragon’s Nest, so it is also known as the "Adventurer's Paradise".

Thousands of adventurers come to Lanlos Town every year, and most of them come for the wealth of the silver dragon in the Frost Mountains. Although the arrival of adventurers has brought extra income to Llanlos Town, in the eyes of the residents of Llanlos Town, these are "adventurers traveling around" to put it better, and "treasure chasers" to put it awkwardly. The "Outlaws" guys are just a bunch of unwelcome troublemakers.

Probably for this reason, compared with the adventurers who came to the Dragon’s Nest fortune, the entire Lanlos Town’s infrastructure for adventurers is very small, except for the convenience that can be seen everywhere. Outside of the facility, there is only a prop shop called "The Brave's Cemetery" and a tavern called "Liu Ke Yu".

The prop shop is a poor young man who is always suffering from turnover deficits, while the tavern is a bad middle-aged man who often calls himself a "gentleman," but in fact it is not the case at all.

The tavern "Liu Ke Yu" is famous for selling the best wines of the Gulambel Kingdom, and it also operates as an inn. Since the income of the tavern alone is enough to support the "reserving guest rain", the bad middle-aged operator, who is an operator, often refuses to come to stay in the hotel for adventurers on the grounds of "shortage of manpower". Basically speaking, anyone who is five big and three thick and doesn't have any appreciation points on the outside-just like the three people who call themselves the "True Brave Group", they will be unceremoniously rejected.

On the other hand, as long as it is a beauty with a unique temperament, even if you can't pay the travel expenses, you can live as long as you like.

The hotel "Liu Ke Yu" opened last about a week ago. At that time, the female knight Xia Luwei lived in. One week later, another guest was welcomed.

Miranda von Embryon, the witch of the storm **** Albers, sits at the table, enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by the innkeeper while worrying about the current problems. Although yesterday in the item shop declared that she was going to defeat the Silver Dragon, that was not her real purpose.

Two weeks ago, there was a serious theft in the Temple of Stormwind in the capital of Gulambel. The secret treasure of Albers, which was sealed inside the temple, was stolen by someone unknown. At the same time, several priests responsible for the secret treasure were also cruel. The killing. This shocked the people of the temple. You must know that the Temple of Stormwind is the blessed place of Albers. Prisoners can kill people and rob goods under the eyes of the gods, and the danger is self-evident.

In addition, the stolen treasure is said to be a very dangerous item, so the temple sent a large number of people to decide to arrest the prisoner at any cost. Miranda is also one of them.

Compared to other priests, Miranda, who has the maiden qualification, has the ability to communicate with the gods. A few days ago, she received the oracle from Albers and learned that the prisoner was active in the Frost Mountains, so she hurried to Lanlos Town. The Frost Mountain Range is the territory of the Frost Snow Silver Emperor. Originally Miranda planned to go to the Dragon Nest to find out. However, she unexpectedly met Xia Luwei, a friend in the item shop, and the other party became the prop shop's proprietress?

Miranda couldn't imagine the cause and effect of what made his friend look like that, but he couldn't let his friend fall. She wanted to take Xia Luwei away on the spot, but was accidentally stopped by the black-haired shopkeeper. Miranda is the witch of Albers, wearing a treasure that symbolizes the **** of storm, which is equivalent to the incarnation of Albers in the mortal world. It is almost impossible for mortals to look directly at her. However, the dark-haired young man who was not surprisingly looked completely unafraid of Albers' mighty power, and he kept protecting Xia Luwei behind him.

In such a situation, there are only two possibilities. One is that the young man himself is not an extraordinary person, and the other is that the other person may be favored by other gods just like her. If it is the latter, the conflict between the favored ones is something Miranda wants to avoid, so she accepts the proposal of the innkeeper to leave Xia Luwei and stay in this "Living Guest Rain" temporarily.

It's just that she hasn't had the slightest idea about how to bring her friends back to the right path.

"Also, the pursuit of prisoners..." Miranda pressed her head with a headache.

No matter how talented and intelligent she is, she can't help but feel distressed when she encounters two difficult things at the same time. Miranda frowned, fiddling with the spoon in her hand unconsciously, but from the corner of her eyes she caught a glimpse of the moustache boss walking towards this side with a smile.
