On the same day, Xiao Bai left the village of the brave and rode in the carriage of a young merchant to the nearest country.
The country of winter, a small country located at the junction of humans and demons, the land and population are not very large, and as the forefront of the demon invasion all the year round, the whole country is shrouded in a war, materials are scarce, and the people live hard, if it were not for the help of the central state, I am afraid that the country would have perished long ago.
Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety.
It's one thing to be impoverished by the common people, but the nobles of the Winter Nation can still live in extreme luxury.
When Xiao Bai arrived in the country of winter, he was immediately welcomed like never before, and with the alliance widely publicized behind the scenes, almost all the people knew for a while that a new generation of brave men had been born, and the first stop was to come to their own country.
On this day, the entire winter country was full of people, and thousands of people were empty.
Under the leadership of the aged king, all the nobles decided to hold a grand party for the brave as a welcome ceremony.
The architectural style of this country is somewhat similar to the castles of the European Middle Ages, looking at the splendid palace of the king, Xiao Bai put on a gentleman's dress for the first time in his life, but the ordinary brave sword hanging from his waist looks a little unusual.
With his passer-by face, many celebrities and ladies were immediately disappointed, and the delusion of being surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows did not appear.
During this period, under the recommendation of the young merchant, he had a private meeting with the king of the winter country, the king hoped that the "brave" would help in the event of the demon invasion, and was willing to pay a good reward, Xiao Bai did not refuse, he came to this country this time to make the brave man famous again, as for the reward, it was a dispensable thing.
The meeting was a one-size-fits-all meeting, and at the end the guests of honour were all happy.
When Xiao Bai returned to the banquet again, there was beautiful music in the venue, young men and women in gorgeous costumes were dancing, he was going to go out for a walk, but he was stopped: "You are a brave man, right?"
Looking back, it is a noble lady dressed in costume, with a bright and moving face, white skin as white as snow, a fair neck, and a slender collarbone that is sexy and charming, this is a beautiful girl who is eye-catching.
"Are you?" asked Xiao Bai from his amazement.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that it was rumored that there was a famous beauty in the country of winter, known as the treasure of the country of winter - the princess of winter, who was born with snow-white skin, bright and incomprehensible, like a beautiful angel in heaven that could not be desecrated.
He asked, "Are you the Princess of Winter?"
The aristocratic maiden tapped her head with a look of excitement, like a beautiful lark, and said, "When I was very young, the Queen Mother often told me stories about the brave, going deep into the Dragon Valley to slaughter evil dragons, confronting the terrifying demon king and repelling them, saving all mankind from the dire situation. ”
"That's not me, it's the last generation of braves. Seeing the admiration in the girl's eyes, Xiao Bai was slightly surprised.
As if she hadn't heard what he said, Princess Winter continued, "I've been imagining the scene of my first meeting with you, Lord Brave, for a long time. ”
When she said this, a red cloud suddenly rose on her cheeks, and her beautiful eyes were shy, and she said, "Lord Brave, can I ask you to dance?"
Xiao Bai was no longer the simple virgin man he was at the beginning, and when he saw the girl's posture, the first thing that came to mind was that this was a beauty plan, but he didn't know if the designer was an alliance or the king of winter, or if the two conspired.
"You like me?" he asked bluntly.
The Winter Princess was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, looked at her toes with a flushed face, and then let out an undetectable voice: "Hmm." ”
"Why?" Xiao Bai didn't believe it originally, but seeing that the reaction of the girl in front of him didn't seem to be fake, he was full of doubts: "Even if I am a brave man, don't you think I am too ...... looking"
At this time, the Winter Princess seemed to finally have the courage, raised her head and stared into his eyes and said, "The Queen Mother said that the most important thing for a man is not his appearance, but his interior. ”
"Your queen mother?" Xiao Bai said in surprise, this was the second time he had heard these two words, and he glanced back at the field, from the beginning to the present, he had not seen the queen.
"The Queen Mother died a long time ago. The Winter Princess said with a sad look on her face.
"I'm sorry. Xiao Bai said, if this is the case, then the girl's behavior can be explained.
"It's fine. The Winter Princess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled at him, "Lady Brave, you haven't answered my previous question yet. ”
"But I can't dance. Xiao Bai refused as tactfully as possible.
"I can teach you. The Winter Princess stared at his face nervously, as if she was afraid of being rejected again.
"It's just a dance. Seeing this, Xiao Bai could no longer speak, and just as he was about to agree, a knight in silver armor appeared in his field of vision, staring at him with a hostile expression.
"Rivals?"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Bai didn't understand the reason, anyway, he was not interested in this princess in the first place, but fortunately he took the opportunity to get out.
"You're a brave man, I want to compete with you. The knight's eyes were fiery.
"Knight, what are you messing about?" Princess Winter scolded angrily, and explained to the "brave" in front of her: "He is a martial idiot, because the myth of the brave has always been circulating in this world, and he once threatened to compete with the brave in the past, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
"Is this the real challenge?" Xiao Bai frowned, he seemed to have misunderstood something just now.
Hearing the title of the Winter Princess, Xiao Bai thought of the information that had been extracted from the young businessman's mouth before.
There is a team of 3,000 elite cavalry in the country of winter, all of them are not inferior to the existence of the middle demon race, they have even a record of killing the upper demon clan together, and the knight chief who is above all the knights is even stronger, it is said that the level of the upper demon clan is not far from the level, and it is one of the top masters in the human world.
"Princess, forgive me, I just want to ask the brave man for two tricks to see if those legends are worthy of their name. The chief knight knelt down and apologized, but the idea of competing with the "brave" did not change.
"I accept your challenge. ”
Xiao Bai thought for a while and said.
From the moment he obtained the Sword of Bravery, he became a real warrior, but he never had the opportunity to test his current strength, and the knight chief in front of him was the best candidate.
Then, the news spread that the brave man was going to compete with the knight of the Winter Country, and this grand welcome party came to an end.
