Home of the Brave

Lanlos Town is a small town located on the northern border of the Kingdom of Gulambel. It is famous for producing the best wines in the kingdom. Lanlos Town was once the territory of the Gulambel Kingdom, but since the silver dragon known as the "Silver Emperor of Frost and Snow" descended on the Frost Mountains thirty years ago, Lanlos Town was separated from the territory of the kingdom and belonged to the silver dragon. Under the rule. The town of Lanlos is now known more often as a frontline base for adventurers to attack the Dragon Nest.

For the treasure of the silver dragon, for the reputation of the brave, and for the call of the kingdom, the adventurers challenged the dragon's nest in the past and succeeding. Their activities have caused great distress to the residents of Lanlos Town, but the situation has finally improved slightly recently. A few days ago, hundreds of adventurers gathered to launch a large-scale attack on the Dragon Nest. As a result, only less than 10% of them were returned safely. After this blow, the activities of the adventurers entered a temporary low ebb, and Lanlos Town finally ushered in a short period of quiet.

In the eyes of most residents of Lanlos Town, this is undoubtedly a piece of good news that can make people breathe a sigh of relief, but there are always exceptions to everything. At least for a certain item shop called "The Cemetery of the Brave", the clean up of the town also means the arrival of the winter season. In the days when there were no customers coming to the door, the business hours of the prop store in the morning were also postponed significantly. Without helping with the preparation work before opening the store every day, Xia Luwei also had free time, so she resumed the habit of practicing swords in the morning.

The original Dragon Slashing Sword of the female knight had been destroyed in a battle with a little butler girl, and now she was holding the Shen Yuan Sword used by Daddy Dai. Shen Yuanjian is an inscription sword made by the dwarf rock forging hammer. It is the same ancient knight sword as the dragon sword, but there are still differences in subtleties. In order to adapt herself to this new sword earlier, Xia Luwei got up early today and practiced the Wushu Wushu in the backyard of the prop store.

"Are you practicing swords? Xia Luwei."

Miranda, who had finished the morning prayer, walked out of the house and greeted the female knight swinging the sword.

Miranda is the famous gate of Gulambel, the daughter of the Duke of Embryon, and the witch of the storm **** Albers, who came to Lanlos to hunt down the prisoners who attacked the temple. In the previous monster incident, Miranda had helped the garrison repel the monster army's attack, but it also razed the townspeople’s homes to the ground. With three-point gratitude and seven-point fear for this daughter of the Duke who caused floods after the fire was put out, the townspeople called him the "Miko of Destruction".

Out of awe of the destructive power, the townspeople united to persecute the witches of Albers. As a result, in Lanlos Town, apart from this prop shop called "The Cemetery of the Brave", Miranda couldn't find a second place to take her in, so she had to stay in the prop shop aggrieved. Fortunately, she was not alone. Xia Luwei, a relative of the Wang Family Academy, was also there. When she greeted the female knight like this, Miranda felt as if she had returned to her carefree girlhood.

"Good morning, Miranda, are you sleeping well?"

Xia Luwei stopped swinging the sword, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and responded to the witch's greeting.

"Um... uh, I slept well." Miranda replied, but with a somewhat guilty conscience.

It should be noted that the prop store "Cemetery of the Brave" is not a mixed-function building like "Liu Ke Yu" that also operates a tavern and a hotel. Although there are four rooms on the second floor of the store, there are only two beds. A double bed and a single bed are in the master bedroom where Dai Yang sleeps and the guest room where Xia Luwei sleeps. Originally, Dai Yang and Xia Luwei lived together during the day and slept in separate rooms at night. They maintained a delicate relationship between men and women, and they were still fine for the time being. But since Miranda temporarily stayed in the prop store, this situation has to usher in a change.

On the one hand, it is impossible for Miranda to sleep in a double bed with someone. On the other hand, Xia Luwei welcomes Miranda to stay, but it would be cruel to ask the two girls to squeeze a single bed. After considering various factors, Dai Yang had to move to the guest room to rest, giving the double bed in the bedroom to the two girls to sleep. Although Miranda was very satisfied with this adjustment, Dai Yang complained about it, and the two have not quarreled less in the past few days.

However, although the man moved to the guest room to sleep, his taste remained. Lying on the quilt permeated with a man's breath, Miranda always finds it difficult to calm down. The smell can easily remind her of being held in her arms by someone in the maze. At that time Miranda was barely wearing any clothes, and the man's hot body temperature roasted her body, even now she still feels pain. Miranda has been suffering from insomnia for several days, but from the appearance of Xia Luwei tossing and turning at night, she seems to be sleeping very restlessly in the man's bed...

Of course, such a topic cannot be mentioned casually. Miranda looked at the female knight who was refreshing after swinging the sword, wondering if she looked like her now.

"Xia Luwei, what is your sword?" Miranda asked in surprise, paying attention to the dark sword in the female knight's hand.

"Huh? Ah, it is the Shen Yuan sword that Dai Yang gave me, because the Dragon Slashing Sword was destroyed..."

Xia Luwei said that, there was a faint sadness in her voice, but more of it was the joy of getting a new sword. It can be seen that she really likes this pitch-black sword. Miranda subconsciously stretched out her hand and stroked the wrist wheel of her left hand, and a feeling of guilty conscience suddenly poured out from her heart, but the powerful maiden shook her head immediately, putting aside this inexplicable feeling.

"Speaking of it, it's been more than a year since the last time we competed with swords. Would you like to try each other's progress?" Miranda invited Xia Luwei.

"Huh? Okay, I want to fight Miranda, too!" The female knight happily accepted the Miko's invitation.

"Then, don't show mercy." Miranda pulled out the silver thorn sword from her waist and walked slowly to the center of the field.

"Yeah, of course." In response to her action, Xia Luwei also cautiously put on a mid-range defensive posture, and the two faced each other five or six steps away.

Unlike Xia Luwei, who is a pure warrior, Miranda is a witch blessed by the gods. Her fighting method is a self-style genre formed by combining sword skills on the basis of divine art. The storm magic is Miranda’s most powerful weapon, but before becoming the witch of Albers, out of the need for self-training and body protection, Miranda also practiced sword skills-not to a casual degree. In fact, among the contemporaries of the Wang Family College at that time, the number of people who could compete with Miranda in actual combat training was even dissatisfied with one hand.

Among these few characters, the female knight Xia Luwei is undoubtedly the strongest.

The seemingly awkward five forms of the nameless, combined with the power of the Wufeng Epee, only those who have personally experienced it know the horror. Compared with the colorful modern knight swords, the Wuming Wushu created to fight against monsters has a completely different dimension of power. During the Wang Family Academy, Miranda and Xia Luwei fought a total of 57 times, and only won 22 times, but they are already the best in the same period.

After leaving the Royal Academy, Miranda turned to study in the Temple of Stormwind. For more than a year, Miranda lowered the training of swordsmanship because of her focus on theology, and did not start to practice her combat skills again until she became the witch of Albers, but she is still far from skillful. realm. During this period, Xia Luwei must still adhere to the practice of swordsmanship every day, and from that vigorous momentum, you can feel how remarkable the female knight's progress has been.

Miranda didn't think she could beat Xia Luwei in this pure sword fight, but at the same time she had the confidence that she would not lose too much. The female knight posed in front of her a "fool's style" of mid-range defense. This is a posture to implement defensively in the nameless style. It represents Xia Luwei's plan to adopt the basic tactics of defensive counterattack. It can also be regarded as a tribute to the opponent.

"Your personality still hasn't changed..."

Seeing this, Miranda couldn't help but smile wryly. Or it has something to do with Xia Luwei's warm temperament. In the past, when the two were practicing swords, the female knight had always been the main guard. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, the practice won't start, so Miranda pulls a sword and puts on a stance.

The silver thorn sword in the hand of the witch is like the tail thorn of a poisonous bee, pointing straight to the center of the female knight's brow. The sharp fighting spirit radiated from the tip of the sword, causing the female knight to narrow her eyes.

Seizing the moment of this moment, the Miko launched a stab. It was like a gust of wind coming from the face, when the reaction came back, the cold light of the thorn-point was already in front of the eyes. The female knight’s Shen Yuan sword has an extremely wide range of attack, so Miranda did not hesitate to activate the magical blessing at the beginning, and bullied the female knight into the front of the female knight as quickly as possible to eliminate the gap between the two weapons in the range.

In close-range combat, the short stabbing sword should be more advantageous than the heavy sword, but this rule is being overturned at this moment. The female knight simply erected the Shen Yuan sword, using the broad blade as a shield to block the spurs of the witch-unlike ordinary ancient knight swords, there are countless irregular fine teeth distributed on the spine of the Shen Yuan sword. , These fine teeth come from the craftsmanship of the dwarf hammersmith, which can firmly bite the stabbing weapon, just to deal with the situation in front of them.

One sword and shield! This is a special skill that only Shen Yuanjian can perform. It seems that after several days of running-in, the female knight has initially grasped the characteristics of the new sword.

The witch's sharp piercing was blocked by Shen Yuanjian, and she suddenly fell into a dilemma of lack of strength for her successor. As the female knight took a step forward, she turned into an attacking posture. The heavy sword pulled up the wailing air, cutting off the space where the Miko was with a horizontal cut from left to right. In the face of this over-range heavy cut, Miranda was unavoidable, and was only able to stabbing the sword.

Withstanding the heavy blow of Shen Yuanjian, the stabbing sword in the maiden's hand almost bends into a crescent shape. Even with the blessing of Wind Shadow Technique, Miranda was still smashed a full six or seven meters away, and the stabbing sword almost flew out. After finally steadily holding her figure, she looked at Xia Luwei with incomprehensible astonishment. She could feel that there was something extraordinary in the female knight's cut just now, not like physical power, but closer to the nature of divine power...
