Home of the Brave

Parallel to the carriage, Xia Luwei also noticed that the rear compartment of the carriage driven by the young man was full of goods, and all kinds of pockets and boxes were almost piled up on a hill.

As the kingdom imposed an economic blockade on Lanlos Town, which resulted in the lack of living supplies there, smugglers often quietly transported various prohibited materials to Lanlos Town for sale in order to make high profits. So Xia Luowei guessed that the young man in front of him should be an apprentice temporarily hired by a smuggler. Smugglers often use this trick to prevent it from being caught by the kingdom if they miss it.

"This... Miss Cavalier?"

Just as Xia Luwei was speculating about her youth status, the other party was also looking at her. The black-haired youth seemed to take a while to recognize the beauty of the majestic knight costume.

"Huh? Ah, my name is Xia Luwei, Xia Luwei von Ishere, please advise."

Even if the other party was a smuggling apprentice, Xia Luwei still reported her full name. Her politeness also received a kind response from the other party. The young man scratched his head shyly and said his name.

"Uh, hello. My name is Dai Yang, Dai is the last name, and Yang is the first name."

Judging from the strange arrangement of surname and first name, his name in the Youth Daily is obviously not from Gulambel. Xia Luwei couldn't help suspecting that this young man was a barbarian from a remote area, but he couldn't feel the slightest savage breath from him. Rather, there is an unspeakable sense of leisure and calmness.

"That, I want to ask..." Seeing the leisurely appearance of the youth group, Xia Luwei's heart surged with questions and immediately put it into words. "Have you not encountered the Minotaur?"

"Minotaur?" The youth blinked in confusion. "What Minotaur?"

"It's the minotaur on the road ahead! There are more than ten, lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, cramping in the limbs...Have you not seen it?"

Xia Luwei re-described what she saw, but the young man shook his head blankly after listening.

"I didn't see it?"

"Don't see it? But it's so close..."

Xia Luwei couldn't help showing a suspicious expression. From when she met the Minotaur to catching up with the young man’s carriage, there was only a stick of incense. There was no fork in this waste road. The young man said that he had not encountered the Minotaur, so there was only one possibility-the Minotaurs were It only appeared after the youth passed the place, and had cramps before she arrived. In other words, the two of them passed through the place one after the other, and I am afraid that there was only one cigarette time between them. That group of minotaurs appeared and became ill during the time of this cigarette.

Although such an explanation can make sense in theory, Xia Luwei has some doubts, is there such a coincidence in the world?

Just when she was puzzled, the young man talked to herself over there, sounding like he was analyzing what Xia Luwei had described.

"Well, there are often minotaurs on this road, but a group like this is rare... Minotaurs are omnivorous monsters, and sometimes they are poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms, but there are more than a dozen bullheads. It’s a poisoning. I’ve never heard of such a thing...Well, let’s ask other people when I get back to town, maybe someone knows..."

"In town?" Xia Luwei was attracted by this word. "Excuse me, did you also go to Lanlos Town?"

"Huh? Ah, that's right." The young man's eyes moved to her, and his voice was a little confused.

"Miss Cavalier, you... should be Gulambel's knight? Are you going to Llanros Town too?"

"Yes, how far is it? Can I be there before dark?" Xia Luwei asked this most worrying question, but left the Minotaur thing behind.

"Lanlos Town is not far ahead, but..." the young man looked at her with a puzzled look.

"There is the territory ruled by the'Frost Snow Silver Emperor.' What do the knights of the kingdom do in the territory of Yinlong?"

"... Silver Emperor Frost Snow?"

Xia Luwei couldn't help but froze for a moment. She once heard adventurers say that "Frost Snow Silver Emperor" is what people here call the silver dragon that occupies the Frost Mountains. However, from the tone of the youth calling the silver dragon, she doesn't feel much disgust. This made Xia Luwei somewhat surprised, but she still straightened her chest and said with great momentum.

"I'm going to fight the dragon!"

"Crack against... Silver Emperor Frost Snow?"

Hearing Xia Luwei's majestic declaration, the young man's eyes widened as if frightened.

"Yes."

Xia Luwei nodded vigorously. She didn't mean to show off, but she firmly believed that justice and justice were on her side.

But who knows that next, the young man let out a deep sigh, and then looked at her with an indescribable look that was almost distressed.

"Um, the adventurer who came for the silver emperor Frost and Snow's treasure has never been less, but I didn't expect that even the knights of the kingdom would come..."

"I'm not for the treasure." Xia Luwei interrupted him angrily.

"Not for the treasure?" The young man was stunned. "What is that for?"

"is for…"

In response to the call for the crusade, Xia Luwei originally wanted to say this, but when she spoke, she said something else.

"For justice and justice!"

"Justice and axiom?"

The other party showed a completely blank expression this time, and Xia Luwei couldn't help becoming annoyed under the starkly questioning gaze.

"Wh, what! Do you have an opinion?"

"No, that..." The young man scratched his head in confusion, as if he didn't intend to argue with Xia Luwei. "Basically speaking, the criteria for judging justice and axioms are more or less different for everyone. Of course, I have no right to interfere with Miss Knight's choice..." At this point, he tilted his head and looked forward, as if he didn't intend to do it anymore. Continue this topic. "In short, Miss Cavaliers, you want Lanlos Town, right? It's not far ahead. I'll take you there."

"Thanks...Thank you." Xia Luwei thanked each other, and at the same time blushed at her gaffe.

Honesty is one of the knight's virtues, and her previous behavior clearly deviated from this norm.

When she noticed this, a sense of guilt came from her heart, and Xia Luwei felt that she had to say something. After looking around for a while, she finally found a clue to open the topic.

"Well, are these destined for Lanlos Town?" Xia Luwei asked, pointing to the large amount of goods behind the carriage.

"Huh? Ah, that's right."

"Are you a traveling merchant?"

Traveling merchants are merchants who do not have their own fixed stores, but transport goods from one place to another and sell them in order to make intermediate profits. Although traveling merchants play an indispensable role in the circulation of materials in the kingdom, in the context of Lanlos Town, it has become a relatively euphemism for lawbreakers and smugglers.

"No." The young man correctly understood Xia Luwei's suggestion, and shook his head with a wry smile. "I am a resident of Lanlos Town, and I run a prop shop there. These are all purchased from the shop."

"Item shop?"

"Well, it's handed down from my father's generation, and the name is "The Cemetery of the Brave"."

※※※

The map of the adventurer was still largely inaccurate. When the golden sunset appeared that day, the outline of Lanlos Town had appeared in front of the two of them.

After approaching the town of Lanlos, the land on both sides of the waste road has also changed from a weedy wilderness to a lush green wheat field. Almost endless wheat fields stretched forward from both sides of the waste road. The breeze blew by, and the golden wheat seedlings rolled like waves. Xia Luwei walked along the wheat waves, and a picture of the autumn harvest naturally appeared in her mind.

At the end of the abandoned road that arrived at Lanlos Town, there was a stone arch bridge, and a meandering river flows under the arch bridge. Xia Luwei looked down at the crystal clear river water, and suddenly smelled a strong fruity fragrance. She looked up in the direction where the fragrance was coming, and saw a large vineyard upstream of the creek. With countless heavy fruits pressed on the wooden grape rack, Xia Luwei remembered that the town of Lanlos was originally a town known for producing the best wines in the kingdom.

On the way into the town, they met many children who were playing in the last period of time before the sun set. Seeing Dai Yang's carriage, the little ghosts ran over cheering.

Xia Luwei was at a loss for the little ghosts who had gathered, but Dai Yang seemed to be prepared for it. He took out the prepared honey from his pocket, smiled and distributed it to the little ghosts who were surrounding him. After the little ghosts took the honey and cheered and left, Dai Yang turned around and introduced Xia Luwei in a gentle voice.

"Speaking of which, you really picked a good time to come, Miss Cavalier."

"Huh?" Xia Luwei, who had just looked at the appearance of Dai Yang Fentang to the little ghosts, was fascinated, and Xia Luwei, who had recovered, felt a bit hot on her face.

"Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. Every household will make their own wine. If you are lucky, you might have a chance to taste Bordeaux?"

"Bordeaux?"

Xia Luwei had heard this name from the predecessors of the knights. It is said to be the best wine in the world, and a bottle of Bordeaux can be sold for as much as 3000 lien. Since the kingdom imposed an economic blockade on the town of Lanlos, its place of origin, the price of this wine has risen all the way, even in the black market. For Xia Luwei, a declining aristocrat, such a super luxury luxury that even a duke might not be able to drink was as unattainable as the clothes of a **** of heaven, so that she unconsciously showed a look of yearning.

"...Well, that's not right."

Xia Luwei shook her head, letting herself wake up from this unrealistic fantasy.

In fact, before coming to Lanlos Town, she had imagined what it looked like here. In Xia Luwei’s imagination, the towns under the rule of the dragon should be shrouded in a lingering cloud of fear, and the citizens are living a dark and miserable life under the **** of the dragon. Only like this is the right thing—however, Ying What I saw was a thriving scene. The residents of Lanlos Town led a peaceful and happy life under the rule of the evil dragon—a situation completely different from what was expected, which made Xia Luwei feel puzzled and shaken. This mood was revealed on her face and attracted the attention of Dai Yang next to her.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay, I'm just... I'm just walking a little tired." Xia Luwei reluctantly said.

"So that's the case, then I will take you to the hotel to rest first, right?"

"This...Is this okay? Don't you want to ship the goods back to the store first?"

"Don't worry, the hotel has ordered candles with me, anyway, I have to transport them to him later."

When the black-haired youth said this, Xia Luwei had no reason to refuse, and followed him into this small town ruled by the dragon.
