Home of the Brave

Chapter 37: New troubles

"Well!" At this moment, the unhealthy middle-aged man who had been eating breakfast silently coughed and took advantage of the situation to join the conversation.

"As far as I can see, the demon is aside for the time being, the jealous demon has exceeded the processing capacity of the security team...The best way at the moment is to ask the emperor for help."

"Oh! Yes, there is still this way!" Dean cheered up on the spot.

The so-called "Emperor" is the honorific name given to the lord Frost Snow Silver Emperor by the residents of Lanlos Town. The Frost Mountain Range is the territory of the Silver Emperor Frost Snow. All residents of the Frost Mountain Range, including Lanlos Town, are the leaders of the Silver Dragon. Although Emperor Frost and Snow was not interested in the autonomy of the leaders, if there were elements that could threaten the stability of the territory, Dragon Nest would not sit idly by.

For example, a few years ago, there was a centaur who migrated from the northern Oberstein Empire to the plain on the northern side of the Frost Mountains, and without paying any respect to the Frost Snow Silver Emperor, forcibly designated the plain as its own territory. , And also tried to expel other races. As a result, this kind of unclear behavior naturally aroused the anger of Emperor Frost Snow Silver. After one night, the Centaur tribe with hundreds of powerful warriors disappeared from the Frost Mountains forever.

Taking this as an example, if the monster incident this time can arouse the attention of Emperor Frost and Snow, then Lanlos Town can naturally breathe a sigh of relief.

"If you want to attract the attention of Dragon Nest, you must have someone trusted by the emperor and familiar with what happened to report the situation." The tavern owner continued, and took the responsibility to himself. "Although I am willing to take this trip, I was counting the wine in the wine cellar when it happened, and the riot was almost over when I came out... In this case, even seeing the emperor will not have any effect, right?"

"...Hey, why don't I go?" Dai Yang watched the two men's gazes shifting over, and said with caution on the spot.

"Nephew, you can't say that." Sean patted him on the shoulder and handed a piece of paper over. "In fact, uncle came over this time, half of it was for official business, look at this."

"Official business?" Dai Yang opened the page with a puzzled expression, his face changed drastically after only one glance.

"Two... Twenty-eight thousand lien? What is this!"

"It's the payment form, the payment form." Xiao En and Yan Yuesei explained.

"According to the police's statistics, during the riot yesterday, a total of twelve houses on the street where the desolate giant was located were razed to the ground, and the properties inside were reduced to ashes, with a total value of about 22,000 lien. In addition, The town square was also severely damaged. The initial estimate of the repair cost is about 6,000 lien-the total amount of the two, the total compensation is 28,000 lien, and the signature of the mayor and all the victims are at the bottom of the request form. The uncle has also personally checked, and the amount is guaranteed to be correct."

"I don't care if there is any problem with your amount!" Dai Yang clenched his fists tightly, an angry blue vein appeared on his forehead, almost went up to grab the bad middle-aged clothes, and asked loudly.

"The question is, why do I have to accept such inexplicable payments?"

"Hmm, to be honest, this incident had nothing to do with the nephew..." The bad middle-aged nodded with a cat crying mouse expression. "But the point is, the culprit who caused the above damage, that is, the maiden maiden of Albers, is currently sleeping on your bed-for this reason, you have to bear some joint responsibility, right? "

"Hey! What does it mean to be sleeping in my bed? Don't use this deliberately misleading statement!"

"Well, it will become a reality sooner or later anyway, what does it matter?"

"Absolutely not! I will send her back to'Liu Ke Yu' now!" Dai Yang said as he walked upstairs.

"It's a pity that'Liu Ke Yu' is now full of wounded people and there are no extra rooms." The bad middle-aged man said as if it didn't matter to him, waving his hands.

"Or, nephew, are you planning to chase Miss Miko out like this? Uncle should remind you that there is no house in Lanlos Town that is willing to receive the'destroying Miko'. If it is not even possible for you, Miko will only I can sleep on the street now." At this point, the bad middle-aged glanced at the female knight next to him intentionally or unintentionally.

"My nephew, can you do such a cruel thing? Well, a good sister to my wife?"

"Mmm..."

Even those who are strong in the practice of defying martial arts have spiritual weakness. Dai Yang, who could not be cruel, hugged his head and fell into the troubles thrown by the bad middle-aged.

"So, uncle, here is a plan that has the best of both worlds?" Perhaps seeing that the time is ripe, the bad middle-aged man suddenly said in an exhilarating tone.

"...The best of both worlds?" Dai Yang looked at him with clearly unbelievable eyes.

"Well, in fact, the uncle had discussed with the mayor before coming here. After the uncle's efforts to persuade, the victims also agreed to the uncle's proposal." The tavern owner said. "As long as the nephew agrees to go to the Dragon Nest to report this incident to the emperor, based on his achievements in helping to eliminate the monsters, he can be exempted from the compensation of the maiden lady, right?"

"...In other words, do I have to waste two days of turnover for that kind of guy?" Dai Yang said helplessly.

"You can't say that, nephew. This matter is not only related to the safety of Lanlos Town, but also a great opportunity to increase your favorability! In exchange for just two days of turnover, there is nothing wrong with public or private. The reason for agreeing?" The bad middle-aged patted Dai Yang on the shoulder and said happily.

※※※

Although the monster attack had already ended three days ago, the aftermath of the incident is still going on intensively until now. The razed streets need to be rebuilt, and the smashed squares need to be repaired. Fortunately, there were not many casualties in the incident, so the residents of Lanlos Town were able to engage in the repair work with a brisk mood.

In Lanlos Town, things like this can fall on everyone at any time, so helping others is equivalent to helping oneself. Every town’s citizen is obliged to work without compensation, and the funds required for repairs are Allocate from the overhaul fund of Lanlos Town’s daily reserve. Relying on these complete disaster countermeasures, Lanlos Town was able to thrive under the frosty mountains where monsters are rampant. It can also be said to be a model of "all for me, I am for all".

Basically, all townspeople who can spare time will consciously participate in the aftermath work, but there are a few exceptions. The item shop called "The Cemetery of the Brave" is one of them.

As the only item shop in Lanlos Town, "The Cemetery of the Brave" bears the heavy responsibility of dispatching the daily necessities needed by the town. While this responsibility greatly benefits the residents of the small town, it also makes the prop store run into a deficit that is difficult to get rid of every month. Struggling on the edge of the deficit, if even the minimum business hours cannot be guaranteed, the prop store may only be left to close down—the black-haired youth who runs the prop store once advocated this, and for this reason, the residents of the small town also Reached a consensus to eliminate all compulsory labor in the "cemetery of the brave".

In other words, even if everyone is sweating outside, facing the loess and back to the sky, someone who is the prop shop owner can still hide in the cool indoors and have tea for entertainment. Even if you are bored and yawn on the counter, no one will come in and complain.

It's just that someone is not in the shop at this moment, and the female knight who temporarily assumes the management responsibility for him does not have the strong mental power to enjoy this kind of generous treatment, or cheeky.

"Well, these are...Palapa grass antidote, which sells for a bottle of twelve miles... Those are insect repellent potions? They cost five miles for a bottle, eh..."

Xia Luwei was holding the list left by Dai Yang, trying to identify all kinds of weird goods on the shelf. Although Dai Yang once said "just treat it as an internship and don't care about the turnover", even the minimum business reception is an unprecedented challenge for the female knight. Xia Luwei looked up at the dazzling array of goods on the shelf, and she shrank for no reason. In comparison, she would rather single out an ogre or a wild giant.

"jingle!"

The sudden ringing of the welcome bell made the female knight shiver. In the next few seconds, she tried to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and then turned around with the determination to face a monster.

"Huan... welcome, may I ask... what can I do for you?"

Xia Luwei's voice was trembling, and her smile was relatively rigid, which was basically unqualified by business standards. However, the visitor was not a customer, and the female knight could not help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the other side's appearance.

"Uncle Wibri, you are here..." Xia Luwei showed a weak smile and entertained the tavernkeeper to sit down.

"You're welcome, it's not an outsider." Even though he said so, Sean still sat at the counter unceremoniously, and asked indifferently. "Well, I didn't have time to catch my breath just now. I was so thirsty. If I had a cup of hot tea to moisturize my throat, that would be great."

"Ok... OK, I'm going now."

"Well, the tea is the kind in the black pot, it's best to brew with freshly boiled water."

Before Dai Yang left, he asked Xiao En to help Xia Luwei see the shop. Under such a righteous name, the unhealthy middle-aged man began to waste precious tea resources in the prop shop while the owner was away. Not long after, a cup of Tieguanyin that was just brewed was delivered to the counter, and the tavern owner took a deep breath of the fragrance that diffused with the mist, revealing an intoxicated look. I couldn't wait to take a sip, but my tongue was scalded by the hot tea, and he exhaled in a rather embarrassing appearance.

"Well, please don't worry, there is still a lot of tea..." Xia Luwei, who was kind-hearted, said to comfort the tavernkeeper.

"Tsk, it's naive, if that kid is there, he can say anything like this kind of Mingcha...ah no, it's nothing."

The middle-aged who almost talked about the bad mouth of the mouth, while fanning the burned tongue, reluctantly changed the subject. "Speaking of which, has that kid already set off?"

"Well, I set off this morning." Xia Luwei nodded and replied.

"Oh, then...our lady witch also followed?" The bad middle-aged eyes flickered, as if expecting something.

"Yes, Miranda said that she also had something to negotiate with the emperor, so she also went to the Dragon Nest with Yang... However, Yang seemed reluctant." The female knight frowned slightly, showing a distressed expression.

"Really, the two of you went together..." Sean touched his mustache, so as to hide the big smile from his heart, and comforted the female knight: "But, you don't have to worry too much. Since Miss Miko is not going to challenge the emperor, there should be no danger, not to mention that the kid is following... Alas, I admit that the two people are born out of character, but maybe this trip is an opportunity instead. Maybe."

"What's the chance?" Xia Luwei tilted her head, revealing an incomprehensible appearance.

"It's a chance to get closer to each other!" The tavern owner patted the female knight on the shoulder and laughed. "Lonely man and widow...ah no, young men and women embark on an adventurous journey together, helping each other through various trials, and finally come together with such plots, don't they often appear in knight novels?"
