56 The Destiny of the Kirin
In every sense of the word, the Isères family, with the title of "uncrowned royal family", is the most famous family in the kingdom of La Velis. The head of the family, Duke Robette, although he is currently at home, is still worthy of full awe for those who are familiar with the situation in the palace, and his huge influence makes the prime minister faction who is inclined to power dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool, and with the recent series of events as an opportunity, the anti-prime minister faction in the court also has signs of gradually condensing with the uncrowned royal family as the center. Basically, anyone with a slight political sensitivity can smell the instability that has been getting stronger and stronger in the court recently.
Although the situation at the court was volatile, for most of the commoners in the royal capital, these were gray topics far from them. Even if it is the Isère family, which has the title of "uncrowned royal family", people are more willing to talk about the four princesses of the ducal family.
It is known that Duke Robette had four daughters, the eldest daughter Anchia, the second daughter Noin, the third daughter Titania and the fourth daughter Charlotte. Except for the youngest Charlotte, the other three princesses of the Duke's family are quite good people. In fact, if there was to be an award for the best education in the kingdom of La Velis, it would most likely go to Duke Robette.
Needless to say, the second princess Noyin, who commanded the strongest unit of the kingdom's air force, the "Sky King Rider", in the name of "Brilliant Thunder Dome", even the other two dukes, the eldest duke Anxia and the third duke, Titania, are all heroines who are not inferior to the second duke Noyin. Originally, after the lady ran away from home, it was a matter of pride for the duke as a father to be able to raise his three daughters so well, right?
It is said that this incident was an important reason for the deterioration of the relationship between the Duke and his daughters, among which the eldest duke's daughter Anthya and the third duke's daughter Titania ran away from home in anger because they couldn't stand their father's repeated urging to marry, leaving only the gentle second duke Noyin and the young duke Charlotte, who was still a minor, stayed. The demise of the daughters caused the reputation of the Duke's palace to plummet, and the traitorous courtiers led by the prime minister Katos also took advantage of the opportunity to rise, and the duke himself resigned in disgrace and returned home, living a leisurely life without caring about state affairs.
The retired duke also seems to have reflected on his past attitude, so he tries to repair the relationship with his daughters, but because Anthya and Titania have not returned home, and Noin lives in the base due to his busy military affairs, so far, the duke has not found a chance to reconcile with his daughters. However, thanks to the blessing of a young man in the wilderness, the number of times Nuo Yin has returned to his home has become more frequent recently, and as for now, the father and daughter are in the pavilion in the back garden, drinking tea and admiring the moon, while chatting about family life, which is something that has not happened for several years.
"It's all a blessing to the prospective son-in-law......" The Duke looked at the steaming teacup in his hand, his heart was full of emotion, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Uh-huh, what did you just say?" In the seat opposite, Noin was helping Charlotte peel lychees, so he didn't hear the duke's words to himself.
"Uh, it's okay...... I mean, you don't have to worry that much. The Duke brought the conversation back to what the two had just discussed. Noin expressed considerable concern about Kirin's approach to someone, and although the Duke thought that her worries were not unfounded, he felt that it didn't matter much if she left it alone.
"Although that fellow is indeed a lazy, idle, unenterprising, self-depraved, stubborn and slippery bastard......," the Duke began with a long list of words that were far removed from praise, and finally took a turn in a rather reluctant tone. "But that guy isn't just stupid, or maybe he's too smart...... Well, I don't know what he's planning, but one thing is for sure, he has no ill will towards the Kirin. ”
"I know. Nuo Yin put the peeled lychee on the plate in front of him, wiped his hands with the wet towel next to him, and still showed a worried expression. "However, I'm worried that he will have a bad influence on Kirin. ”
"Well, Brother Kirin has been hiding in the hangar lately, and he doesn't play with me anymore. The little lady sat on Noyin's lap, and at this time also raised her head to express strong indignation.
"Well, it's impossible to say who will influence whom......" The Duke reached out and touched his little daughter's head, and the corners of his mouth raised a smooth arc. "Don't underestimate your precious brother, in terms of his courage as a leader, he is not much taller than that fellow! And you saw it today, right? That bastard who is lazy and has nothing to do all day long, actually runs obediently to be a coolie sharpening knives, and if the old fellows in the palace see his dress, I don't know how many lives will be scared? At least I feel quite happy, and that guy has finally met his nemesis, which is very good......"
“...... Indeed it is. Thinking of the strange image of someone with a sweat towel on his head and shirtless, Nuo Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly and agreed with his father's opinion.
"And ah, it's not just that guy who is affected by the prospective son-in-law, but also the kid from the Grayn family, the one who accompanied him to the heraldic courtyard last time. Even if I come to see it, it is also one in a million talents, and he actually put aside the affairs of his own chamber of commerce and came to be his assistant, why do you think it is?" While Noyin was distracted by the problem, the Duke secretly picked up a lychee that was originally peeled for Charlotte and threw it into his mouth with a smile.
“...... To get closer to the Isère family?" Noin frowned slightly, pretending not to see his father's sneaky behavior.
"Well, there may be such a motive, but I think the main thing is to be attracted to the prospective son-in-law, right?" said the duke. "You should almost notice it, right? The prospective son-in-law is not an ordinary person, and there is something very special about him. As a father, I have seen many promising young people, but I have never seen anything like that in other people. ”
"That kind of thing?" Noin seemed to have trouble understanding his father's dumb riddle, and frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'that kind of thing'?"
"Second girl, what do you think is the most important thing for the heroes throughout the ages?" the duke did not answer directly, but asked strange questions.
"Are you a hero who has achieved great things......" Nuo Yin showed a puzzled expression and tried to answer: "Great wisdom and courage, know how to make good use of people, and ...... Perseverance?
“...... Well, that's kind of your answer. The Duke nodded noncommittally, and asked about his youngest daughter instead. "What do you think, baby?"
"Well, how dare you kill?" Charlotte gave a different answer than her sister.
"Yes, that's interesting...... Uh, no!Charlotte, how can you say such a terrible thing! You're a girl, what are you going to do to kill the Darde?" the Duke looked panicked.
"But what I read in the book of the art of war says that whoever wants to achieve great things must not have the kindness of a woman. The little lady raised her head and replied in an innocent voice.
"Don't look at that kind of thing in the future! I'll clean up the study when I turn around!" The Duke had learned from the previous three daughters, and the Duke was deeply aware of the deviation in his own way of education, and his face changed on the spot. "Really! Why do you have nothing to do with reading that kind of book? How good you are at learning flower arrangement and cooking skills in time, you are the most promising bride candidate in the Duke's family! If you become like your eldest sister, it will be up to you to see if your brother Qilin likes you or not!"
"Hmm......" Charlotte showed a distorted expression and quietly hid behind her sister.
"Alright, Dad. Noin fondly stroked the little sister's head and turned the subject back. "It's good that you put away those books and don't let my little sister read them, now let's talk about the unicorn. ”
"Well, that......'s right," the Duke tried to calm his mood down, and then spoke: "All in all, whether it is wisdom and courage, whether it is knowing people and making good use of them, or being bold in killing, it can be said that they are the conditions for achieving heroic deeds, but not those who have these conditions will achieve heroic deeds, because they still lack one of the most important things. ”
"What is it?" Noin couldn't help but wonder.
"Destiny. The Duke gave the answer in a calm tone. "The destiny of heaven is the prerequisite for the achievement of heroic causes. ”
After saying this, the duke fell silent and began to concentrate on enjoying the lychee that his daughter had peeled. On the other hand, Nuo Yin seemed to be quite shocked, frowning and thinking for a while, before he hesitated and asked, "...... Dad, do you mean to say that the unicorn has such a destiny?"
"Otherwise, how would you explain the things that happened to your son-in-law-to-be?" the duke unceremoniously put lychees into his mouth, his expression quite pleasant. "He has been an enemy of the powerful prime minister several times, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have died many times, right? The boy from the Graynes family, as well as the guy who didn't want to make progress, all gathered around him. One of them is a representative of the civil forces, and the other is a symbol of the power of the court, do you think this is just an accident?"
"Speaking of which, it is true...... "Noin is not a man who believes in fate, but now he has to admit the Duke's opinion.
"In this case, the Kirin will ...... in the future What will become of it?" Noin was most worried about this question.
"Well, 'the power of heaven is unpredictable, the destiny of heaven is inviolable', and I don't know what will happen in the future. The Duke casually recited a proverb from La Velis. "But in my opinion, the prospective son-in-law should not have noticed his destiny, and now he is just going with the flow. When he one day realizes his destiny and takes control of it...... Hmph, what the hell is going to happen?"
The duke's tone was almost as if he was expecting the unicorn to stir up chaos in the world, and Noyin couldn't help frowning, and the title of the duke also changed.
“...... Father, you seem to be very happy, huh?"
"Of course, aren't you interested?" said the duke, looking at his daughter with astonishment.
"No interest. Noin replied on the spot. "I just want Kirin to stay away from calamity, father. ”
"Uh, yes...... Yes, of course. Sensing that the relationship between himself and his daughter, which had been repaired, was showing signs of a sharp regression, the Duke replied with sincere fear.
"I'm going back to base tomorrow, Father. Noin looked at the Duke with a cold gaze and warned, "During my absence, please do not do anything like fanning the flames to the Kirin. ”
........................
At the same time as the father and daughter of the Isère family were communicating cordially, the hangar on the other side of the Duke's Palace was also brightly lit at the moment.
Thanks to Noin's help, the cutting of the monitor lizard's skin was completed several days ahead of schedule, and all that was left was to cover the cut lizard skin on the skeleton of Wolf Flame, and the long restoration work could be completed. Originally, it would have been okay to leave it for tomorrow, but Kirin couldn't wait to see the majesty of the wolf flame after it was completed, and the other two had to accompany them to the end.
More than a dozen lights illuminate the hangar as bright as day, and also bring unusually high temperatures to the cool summer nights. Whether it was Greine Shaodong or the new king of La Willis, the three people in the hangar were shirtless. Since the skin of the air rider is made of various shapes of monitor lizard skins biting together, and when dealing with the joint of monitor lizard skins, it is necessary to have a pair of scales, so it is a very patient job. The maids of the Duke's palace prepared a large bucket of cold water for them, and placed it at the door of the hangar, and the three of them scooped up a scoop and drank it when they were thirsty.
"Okay, press here......" Because of the rivet in his mouth, Xiu Deyin was a little strange.
At the moment, he and Erie were working together, one person was responsible for determining the location of the skin, and the other was responsible for fixing the skin to the skeleton.
"There's not much left, just push harder......" Yili looked back to confirm the number of skins left, but unexpectedly saw that the Kirin behind him was staying.
"Kirin, why are you stunned? We are working hard here, but you are lazy?"
"Hmm, ah, no, I just noticed something......" Kirin looked at the two monitor lizard skins in his hand and beckoned to the two of them. "Well, you guys come and have a look, it's a little weird here. ”
"What's strange? What's strange?" someone who was curious immediately put down what he was doing and leaned over.
"Look at these two monitor lizard skins. Kirin handed over the two monitor lizard skins in his hand. "The left piece was cut by me, and the right piece was cut by Nuoyin, do you feel different?"
“...... It's different, one piece looks like it has been gnawed by a dog, and the edge of the other is as smooth as a knife's edge. Xiude bluntly expressed his feelings.
"Weird, isn't it?" Kirin confirmed.
"What's strange, it's your poor technique, isn't it?" Xiude scoffed. "Didn't Noin say that it takes some skill to handle skins?"
“...... No, I think that's out of the realm of skill. After carefully comparing the differences between the two skins, Yili cautiously came to a conclusion. "Please take a closer look, Your Majesty. Although the unicorn was roughly cut, it was cut along the gaps between the scales, and the shape of the scales remained mostly intact. As for the piece of Bai Xiang's long cut, it seems that the trend of the scales is not avoided at all, but the scales are cut directly along the drawing line, and many of the scales are roughly divided into two...... If I had to say any tricks, I think the way the Kirin handles it is a little more delicate. ”
"Hey, there is a limit to joking?" Regarding his opinion, Xiude refuted on the spot. "Even the barbarians here are constantly cutting their scales, how can Noin ...... yes, really?"
Xiude's jaw fell to the ground, and Qilin's two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, although they should be thinking about the same thing, but neither of them had the courage to speak first. There was silence for a while, and finally Kirin barely pulled himself together and confirmed in the form of a rhetorical question.
"If Erie is right, that's to say, Noin...... Isn't that actually amazing?"
"That'...... Of course, after all, Noin is the strongest ace pilot. Xiude's voice was also a little stiff in his reply.
"Although I don't know......" Compared to the two of them, Yili was completely out of the way, shrugging his shoulders at the Kirin easily.
"But in this way, if you want to pursue that Baixiang Chief, it will be hard in the future, right?"
