"Airship?"

Claire's proposal succeeded in drawing Miss Margaret's attention away from the frog, and she frowned slightly, wondering if this was another ruse to make herself "compliant", but her curiosity about the novelty of the airship made her reluctant to refuse.

She'd never sat on it since her father's inventors invented it.

It's just that......

"Didn't Grandpa Mullen let us sit on the 'Cloud Whale'?" she questioned.

The huge "Cloud Whale" airship is still in the testing stage, and the inventors have long said that this giant ship cannot guarantee 100% safety, and if it were not for the Grand Duke's insistence on being the "first person in science and technology aerospace", then at this academic event, people may not be able to see the wonders of the giant whale swimming in the sea of clouds.

Of course, in order to take care of the "willfulness" of the Grand Duke of France, the rather stable old butler had to cross the children of the Grand Duke from the list of "first flights", which made Miss Margaret quite regretful.

So, in order to make up for her guilt towards her sister and for the purpose he had to achieve, Claire finally decided to fill in this regret for her sister after thinking about it.

He looked at the girl who was obviously a little moved, but tried her best to maintain restraint, and couldn't help but show a mysterious smile: "It's true that Grandpa Muren won't let us sit on the 'Cloud Whale', but...... We still have 'white crows'. ”

"White Crow...... You mean there's an airship?" Miss Margaret was slightly stunned, then her eyes widened and she let out a cry of surprise and surprise.

"That's right. Claire deliberately showed a smug face: "The 'White Crow' is the first airship in this world, and the 'Cloud Whale' is just an improved and enlarged version of it." I've done some understanding before, the reason why 'Cloud Whale' is not perfect is because the energy of the source crystal fragment cannot perfectly support the entire airship, but 'White Crow' has no such problem, except that it is much smaller, it is the real finished product. If it weren't for our father's preference for the big one, it would have been floating over our heads for the past two days. ”

"But...... Even if it were, can we really get it out, and are there any other captains who are idle?" Margaret wondered. Due to the preference of the Grand Duke, the pilots of the airships are now collectively referred to as captains.

"My dear sister, you can rest assured of this. Claire smiled mysteriously, "I've already asked for the permission of those masters, and I've also found the captain to pilot the airship." Although he has only been studying for a short time, he has already surpassed all the students and has won unanimous praise from those masters!"

"You ......" Margaret frowned, staring at her brother's smiling face, vaguely feeling that this matter did not seem to be very reliable, "You don't mean to say, captain...... That's you, right?"

"Of course not. Claire quickly shook her head, knowing full well that his sister would never be able to ride in the airship he was piloting, even if his skills at the helm were far beyond ordinary people.

"In that case...... "The girl squeezed the spoon a little harder. She still couldn't believe Claire's flawed nonsense, and according to her own "good girl" character, she should simply reject this extremely hidden proposal and wait for the next better and safer opportunity. But perhaps because of the "devastation" she has suffered in the past two days, she suddenly has a great desire to do something that she has never done before, and it is a little risky.

"That frog ......" The girl who had been thinking for a long time raised her head, and before she could say the second half of the sentence, Claire, who already knew what she was afraid of, immediately threw an apologetic look at the "frog" and swore that "I will keep it in a cage." ”

All right.

The girl, who knew that she couldn't separate Claire from the frog, nodded very reluctantly.

"I'll consult with Master Crono and them......"

The girl who failed to overcome her curiosity made her last "resistance......

Two hours later, Claire and her sister arrived at the airship-specific tarmac.

A silver-white airship is parked here.

"White Crow".

Its size is only a quarter of the size of the "cloud whale", and it looks a little small and delicate from a distance, but when you look closer, you find that it is still a behemoth for humans. The shell of the airship is depicted with delicate and ornate patterns, and it is clear that the artists have put a lot of thought into it, as if it were a carriage belonging to a princess.

With just one glance, Miss Margaret knew that she had been conquered by the charm of this airship.

Her heart was beating faster, and the image of reason she had maintained for years seemed to be spreading cracks.

"It's beautiful. ”

The girl couldn't help but praise her, but what she didn't know was that in a hidden corner not far away, a strange-looking middle-aged man was exclaiming with her.

"It's beautiful. Harris, who changed his image again and transformed himself into a black man, raised his hand and shook the boy next to him, his eyes glowing with excitement: "See, Ian, that's the 'White Crow'!"

He found out the existence of this airship from a certain scholar involved in the development of the airship at a dinner, thinking that the "white crow" as the first airship would be a rough creation, but he didn't expect the truth to give him a huge surprise. It's a pity that Ian, who is accustomed to seeing many exquisite artifacts in his hometown, is not as "uninformed" as him, and Ian really doesn't think it is so dazzling about the airship in front of him, but is curious about the two young men and women who are welcomed.

"The two over there don't seem to be ordinary noble kids. Do you know who they are?"

"I'm sorry, boy, but I'm not omniscient. Harris was a little dissatisfied with the young man's lack of appreciation, he pursed his lips and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what their identity is, all we need is the driver, just knock these two out when the time comes." ”

"No, maybe we can take advantage of them. Ian's eyes narrowed, and he pressed his left hand to the hilt of his sword, waiting for the perfect moment to come, but at that moment, a strange sensation spread from afar, and he was stunned.

"This feeling is ......"

An unusual psychic power lingered around him, making him feel like he was being watched.

Without Ian's reminder, Harris frowned at the same moment.

"Guard?" he shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not ......"
