Home of the Brave

In the deep red corridor of the Frost Mountains, adventurers struggled among the endless traps. In the town of Lanlos at the foot of the mountains, the residents of the town finished their day's work and enjoyed a peaceful rest under the quiet night. Due to the fact that all the adventurers gathered in the small town in recent days have left, the security pressure on the security team has suddenly been reduced. Several guard towers are still burning torches to guard the night monsters, but the patrol team has been reduced from six teams to Two teams.

Xia Luwei leaned on the window sill and looked at a few torches floating on the street not far away. After a while, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to the direction of the Frost Mountains in the distance.

It was yesterday that Dai Yang and Miranda set off toward the Dragon Nest. According to the itinerary, they should already be in the emperor's palace. For the residents of Lanlos Town, Frost and Snow Silver Emperor is undoubtedly a lord worthy of absolute respect, but based on the education of the past knight era and the results of the previous crusade against the dragon, it is difficult for Xia Luwei to adjust her mentality for a while. Dai Yang was going to report the situation, and Miranda was going to ask for permission. Even if she knew that there were no dangerous elements in the two people's itinerary, the female knight couldn't help but feel worried.

In order to resolve this irrational emotion, Xia Luwei forced herself to leave the window sill and lie down on the wooden bed on the other side of the room.

The wooden bed where the female knight rests is about two meters long and one meter wide. If two people sleep at the same time, it will definitely look crowded. However, at least for now, there is no need to worry about this situation.

Xia Luwei has been living alone in this second-floor guest room since she checked into the prop shop as the "Dai's eldest daughter-in-law". Adjacent to the guest room is the master bedroom where Dai Yang rests. There is a large bed more than two meters wide, but the female knight has never lay on it. The two lived together during the day and slept in separate rooms at night. Until today, Xia Luwei hadn't felt anything wrong. But now lying on the bed, recalling the conversation with Uncle Wibley during the day, Xia Luwei suddenly felt very guilty.

"As the wife of the Dai family...responsibility?"

※※※

"Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly."

At that time, she was sending away the last guest. Although the turnover was only a negligible Twelve Lien, the fact that the successful completion of a transaction was enough to please the female knight.

"Well, not bad. Xia Luwei, you have become more and more like a lady boss." The tavern owner holding a teacup and overseeing the battle also spoke highly of her performance.

"…Is that so?"

Xia Luwei, who was praised, looked a little happy, and then noticed that the tea cup in the tavern owner's hand was empty, so she said diligently: "Uncle Wibley, shall I make you another cup of tea?"

"Okay, make it thicker." Shaun handed the tea cup unceremoniously. It is worth mentioning that since Dai Yang went to the Dragon Nest, the bad middle-aged man has frequently visited the prop shop under the righteous name of "instructing the bride to practice". Although his existence has brought great help to the female knight, it is a price. The thing is, the tea collected by someone is also consumed at a constant rate.

"Well, the aroma is strong, and the water temperature is just right. As expected, the tea made by the beauty is different... Uh, that kid really married a good wife."

While tasting the fragrant tea offered by Xia Luwei, Sean repeatedly admired Xia Luwei's potential as a good wife and mother. The female knight blushed with praise, bowed her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, but the bad middle-aged seized this opportunity to ask the most concerned questions.

"If this continues, at this time next year, Dai's family should have multiple fat boys? So the uncle will finally be able to deal with old friends... In other words, how are you progressing in that regard?"

"So, in that respect?" Xia Luwei said embarrassedly.

"Of course it's a matter between husband and wife." The bad middle-aged smiled kindly. "You know, that kid hasn't had experience with girls before, so the uncle is worried that he is not doing well in some places, maybe he looks rough and maybe... But, I'm not embarrassed to say these things in front of that kid. ? If you are being bullied, you can tell the uncle, and the uncle will help you teach that kid and let him be more restrained."

"Well, Dai Yang treats me very well..." Xia Luwei looked very confused when faced with the bad middle-aged attitude.

"Hey, you're welcome? You treat the uncle as a relative. Just ask if you have any grievances." Xiao En asked without giving up. "Men are always lascivious. That kid is just when he is full of energy. The demand for that aspect must be a bit more frequent... Well, although this is not a bad thing, it is still true that the bride has a big belly before the wedding. Not suitable... well, the uncle will warn him to let his wife rest at least one night a week."

Hearing this, the dull female knight finally understood the meaning of the bad middle-aged. She flushed with shame in a flash, and said in an almost inaudible manner: "Well, that, no such thing, we...we all sleep in separate rooms at night , Not yet... well, that kind of thing..."

"Huh? Not yet? You said ‘not yet’!" Xiao En’s eyes widened unbelievably when he heard this.

"Wait! What does that mean? Is it possible that the kid hasn't touched you yet?"

"Um... Um." The female knight almost couldn't lift her head in shame. "Dai Yang said, don't worry, wait until I adapt to life here and then take my time..."

"Take it slowly? Bastard! How can this kind of thing happen slowly!" The unhealthy middle-aged slapped the table with a furious palm, making the female knight shiver with fright. "That bastard! What do you think of the important matter of the Dai family's succession? Is there any self-consciousness to be the only seedling of the Dai family? It is so angry that the old man is too!"

"Ye... I'm sorry..." Xia Luwei cowered and lowered her head, although Sean wasn't scolding her.

"...I'm not blaming you, eldest wife." The tavern owner who has a deep friendship with Daddy Dai let out a helpless sigh, then touched his mustache and thought for a while before he spoke again: "Maybe this is the case. You don’t like to listen, eldest daughter-in-law, but the uncle still wants to say...that kid will choose you as the bride, not a casual decision."

"…what?"

"There are things that the uncle didn't tell you, the eldest wife... In fact, that kid is quite popular in the town, and many girls secretly like him."

"Yes...Is that so..." Xia Luwei's heart beat faster.

"Yes. Although the uncle has not counted how many people there are, if the kid wants to find a woman, there is absolutely no shortage of objects." Xiao En continued. "But before he met you, he didn't choose any of them as the object of communication. Do you know why?"

"Why... why?"

"That kid usually looks casual, but in fact he is quite serious in this regard. It is not a casual attitude, but on the premise of getting married and having children." Sean said in a serious voice. Tell the female knight. "Have you heard that kid say? The Dai family bears the curse of'three generations to end'. That kid is the last generation of the curse. Although since the ancestors of the Dai family moved to Palamia, the curse has been effective. It has been weakened a lot, but it is still unknown whether it can be solved...Under such circumstances, women who can succeed the Dai family must meet two conditions."

"Two conditions?"

"The first is a strong body, and the second is a noble status." Sean explained. "Because of the curse, women with the blood of the Dai family are likely to encounter various dangers during pregnancy and childbirth. If the body is not strong enough, they will not be able to survive that level. Therefore, the first requirement of the Dai family's wife is the body. Strong women. Then, women with noble status usually have the protection of heaven connected with blood, and this protection will also be extended to the baby, which can weaken the effect of the curse and ensure the healthy growth of the baby. The second requirement is a noble woman."

"But, I'm just the daughter of a fallen nobleman, noble or something..." Xia Luwei showed a very uneasy expression.

"Well, these are not the standards of the daughter-in-law that Zi De told me before, and they don't represent the boy's thoughts." Xiao En touched his mustache and expressed lightly. "Actually, in my uncle's opinion, the biggest reason that kid would choose you as a bride is really fascinated by you, right? He wouldn't be willing to carry a debt of 200,000 lien to death."

"Ah..." The female knight covered her mouth and exclaimed a little.

When he left Dragon Nest, because Dai Yang was too indifferent, Xia Luwei once thought that the ransom was only a small sum for him. However, since staying in the prop store, with the knowledge of the prop store’s business conditions, the female knight slowly learned that the two hundred thousand lien ransom actually represents the deep heart of a man. At this time, hearing Xiao En mentioned it again, and recalling the touch at that time, Xia Luwei couldn't help being ashamed of her vacillation.

"Men are all idiots. They are more used to express their minds with actions than words." The bad middle-aged man summed it up as if it had nothing to do with him. "And according to the uncle, that kid has not touched you until now, I am afraid he still has concerns. After all, the three generations of the Dai family are cursed by the fate. If you are really involved, it is impossible to guarantee that you will not be in danger..."

"Yang...think that?" Xia Luwei interrupted Xiao En in surprise. It was the first time she heard such a thing.

"Well, don't look at that kid as if he didn't put the curse in his eyes, but he actually cared quite a bit... But why would you marry a wife like that for the sake of your wife's safety? It's just putting the cart before the horse. Well!" The bad middle-aged man used ear picking to show his contempt for someone.

"All in all, according to that kid's mushroom character, if he can figure it out, I don’t know how to wait until the year of the monkey... If the eldest wife doesn’t want to be a widow, she should take the initiative at this time and go up and knock him down! Well, once the wall is torn down, the rest will naturally be a matter of course."

"But...but..." For Gao Jie's female knight, topics like this have already exceeded the limits of mental capacity. Xia Luwei's blush was about to bleed. She lowered her head and fiddled with her index finger, and asked Ai Ai, "Um, push down...what should I do?"

"Well, a good question!" The bad middle-aged man suddenly refreshed. "Since ancient times, night raids have been the most orthodox kingly tactics in the offensive and defensive warfare between men and women. Taking into account the situation of the eldest wife, the uncle also recommends this tactic. Having said that, the boy is an opponent, and there is absolutely no way to underestimate the enemy. Going to...Come on, let us discuss how we can achieve the strategic goal of overthrowing that kid with the least cost."

"Yes Yes."

The impure fighting spirit of the starter in the eyes of the bad middle-aged was infected by this meaningless enthusiasm, and the female knight did not consciously participate in this taboo tactical discussion. From this moment on, the male and female offensive and defensive battle that determined the fate of the Dai family kicked off, but the result is still far from unknown...
