"Lost Souls?"

The Duke stared at the Kirin with wide eyes, his voice full of surprise. "Noin called you 'Lost Souls'?"

"Well, I've heard that word from Noyin's mouth, so I wanted to ask what Uncle means. ”

"Soul Lost One......" The Duke sat down on the sand, let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then opened his mouth to say goodbye to the Kirin.

"The so-called 'Lost Soul' is a term that is only circulated among pilots, and is used to refer to ...... Call those who have forgotten their souls in the sky. ”

"Forget your soul in the sky?" Qilin said with a confused expression.

"That's just a metaphor, a metaphor for those who have a fanaticism for the sky......, like a demon," the Duke sighed. "That girl Noyin, did she take you to the Sky Realm? Then let me ask you, little brother, how did you feel when you first saw the Sky Realm?"

"What did it feel like...... Kirin recalled, but it was more appropriate to say that there was no feeling at all than what he felt at that time.

"It's magnificent, it's beautiful, it's so vast, you want to fly there...... Feeling like that, right?"

"I want to fly...... the Duke touched his beard and asked, "How strong is that desire?

Regarding the duke's question, Qilin thought seriously for two or three minutes, and then nodded. "If there's a good reason, I'...... But Noin didn't say anything, only that I wasn't fit for the sky, that the sky was dangerous for me, and so on. I can't accept this reason, so I came to ask Uncle for advice. ”

"Oh, I've been obsessed with this kind of Cheng dù for the first time, and I'm already seriously ill......" The Duke sighed in a low voice. "You know what, little brother, for most people, the sky is a dreaded existence. On the first airship ride, nine out of ten people will have weak legs. The first time I rode in the air, only one out of a hundred people was able to walk down on his own feet. If you cross the clouds to the sky again, I am afraid that only one out of a thousand people will be able to stay awake when you return to the earth...... And if you want to be as alive and lively as you, and you can't wait to fly again, you may not be able to find one out of 10,000 people. ”

"In other words......" Kirin tried to understand the words of the Duke's uncle. "I'm anomalous?"

“...... What surprised me even more was that you didn't realize that you were out of the ordinary. The Duke nodded wordlessly. "People like you are called 'Lost Souls.'" ”

"But ......," Kirin objected. "The phrase 'imprisoned soul by the sky' is too exaggerated, right? I just want to see that kind of sky again, and I am not fascinated by Cheng Dù who lost his soul. ”

"You don't know how powerful, little brother. The Duke said to him earnestly. "Being carried to the sky by others, flying freely in the air with oneself, is a completely different realm. Many 'lost souls' are not as fanatical about the sky as they are from the beginning, but in the process of continuous flying, they are gradually attracted by that realm, and are charmed by the infinity of the sky, and they are bent on flying higher and farther...... Seriously, it is a kind of drug addiction that cannot be quit at all, and anyone who is infected with this 'poison' will first be imprisoned by the sky, and finally even the body will be swallowed by the sky. ”

"Wait...... Wait!" Kirin stopped the duke's explanation, for he felt something strange in it. "Isn't it strange? It's just that I like to fly, why is it swallowed up by the sky?"

"Well, little brother, you know that there is a floating city in the sky, right?"

"You mean the floating city during the 'Sky Civilization' period? Kirin recalled, and at the same time guessed, "...... It's a high-level monster?"

"High-level monsters, and dragons who destroyed miè's 'sky civilization'. They occupy the floating cities in the sky and imprison the sky above us, so if you want to fly higher and farther, you become their bait. The Duke told the Kirin in a heavy tone of the heavier truth. "In fact, all the 'Lost Souls' who challenged the Sky Realm ended up being swallowed by the sky, and none of them could come back alive...... Including your brother. ”

"Chechen is also a 'Lost Soul'?" Qilin showed a strongly shaken expression.

"Well, sullen daughter-in-law...... No, your brother is also a man whose soul has been captured by the sky. The Duke looked at the unicorn meaningfully. "I don't mean you are thinking about anything dangerous, little brother. ”

"No, I...... I didn't want to go to Chechen......" Qilin avoided the Duke's gaze with a little weakness.

“...... Your expression is already obvious. The Duke thought about it for a moment, and then decided to tell the Kirin about something.

"I don't think Noin has ever sued you, right? ”

"Really? Could it be that Nuo Yin is also ......" Qilin's heart "chuckled".

"No, it wasn't the sky that took her soul away, it was the man. At this, the Duke's voice became muffled. "After your brother left that letter, Noin's first thought was to go to him and chase it back...... It's not that I'm speaking ill of that kid, but compared to her husband who left a letter and ran away from home, Noin is such a good wife...... It was useless for me to try to stop it, and in the end the kid chased him to the sky on his air horse, knowing how dangerous it was, but he couldn't listen to anything......"

"Knot...... As a result, did Noyin come back safely?" asked Kirin nervously.

"How can it be safe, it's a lair of high-ranking monsters, just a ...... in the air," the Duke closed his eyes and shook his head as if he couldn't remember. Three days later, the wreckage of the airship and the seriously injured and dying Noyin appeared on the outskirts of the royal capital...... To be honest, when I saw the appearance of that child, I really wanted to slaughter that kid at Chechen......! Later, after lying in bed for more than half a year, the child finally got his life back, but here ......"

The Duke drew a long line on his chest. "Leaving a long scar. And, although it was not visible on the surface, the child buried it in his heart. ”

"Chechen...... Why did you do such a thing?" From the duke's indignant tone, Kirin could almost imagine what Noin was like at that time, and for the first time, he was angry with his brother.

"This is the end of the Lost Soul, little brother. The duke said to the unicorn seriously, followed by a self-deprecating arc at the corner of his mouth. "It's ridiculous to say, I, who is called 'Fuguo Gong', can't even help my daughter's marriage in the end...... I couldn't look at the child's own painful appearance, so I simply quit my job and went home to accompany my daughter, trying my best to make her happy every day, and only recently did I finally see Noyin's slightly cheerful expression, which was really an unbearable memory......"

After the duke finished speaking, he fell silent as if he was taking a breath, and the unicorn was speechless for a while.

(The Lost Soul, the one whose soul has been captured by the sky...... There was such a thing between Chechen and Noyin...... I finally know the reason for my brother's disappearance, but what shocks Kirin more than this is Noyin's actions. Kirin subconsciously recalled the feeling when he first met Noyin, there was a light on her body that was neither strong nor ostentatious, and made people feel very comfortable naturally, at that time Kirin did not know what this light was, but now he seems to know.

It was the glow of the sharpened jade.

It's a sparkle that a dazzling gemstone can't have, a breathtaking diamond.

Warm and pleasant, unassuming, only after savoring it can you feel the depth and thickness precipitated in it, such a charming light.

"Nuoyin......" Qilin condensed all the feelings in his heart into the following sentence. "Noin is a good woman, the best woman I've ever met. ”

"Oh?" the Duke looked up, the expression on his face as if it had regained its vitality for a moment. "So, little brother, are you interested in Noin?"

"Yes, I like Noin...... No, I'm obsessed with her. Kirin replied.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, so I say, what Uncle admires most is your frankness, little brother!" the Duke slapped Kirin on the shoulder. "Then, you're willing to give up flying for her, right?"

"Nope. Kirin shook his head. "I'll clean up the mess left by Chechen, and Noyin ......"

Kirin took a deep breath and declared.

"I'll sweep a clear sky for her. ”

........................

The so-called "Shoshi" is explained in an easy-to-understand way, that is, "a knight who soars in the sky".

Of course, "Shoshi" is a fighter division who pilots air horses, but in fact, there are also the same air pirate pilots among the air thieves, and in addition to the above two, there are actually free pilots in the sky who do not belong to any force. So in a stricter sense, "Shoshi" specifically refers to fighter divisions that are subordinate to the regular army. Unlike the abusive pirate pilots and uninhibited freelance pilots, in a sense, these strictly disciplined fighter pilots are closer to the ancient concept of knights.

In the establishment of the kingdom of Lavelis, the Shoshi was a wing with ten names, continuing the tradition of ancient knights, and the captain of the wing was called "Ten Captains". Above the "Ten Sho Chiefs" is the "Hundred Sho Chiefs", which was originally understood literally, and the "Hundred Sho Chiefs" should be the commander who commanded the Hundred Shoshi, but in fact this is not the case. Since the acquisition, maintenance, and use of air riders all cost a lot of money, even with the financial resources of the national level, it is impossible to support too many of them. Based on the principle that scarcity is precious, a qualified fighter division is a more valuable asset than an air-riding airframe.

These two factors limit the number of empty horsemen in King Lavelis**. In fact, Wang's air cavalry force had only twelve wings. The twelve wings were divided into three units, each commanded by three Baixiang commanders, and each was stationed in an air base in the kingdom. Among them, the troops under the command of Nuo Yin are the "Sky King Cavalry", and the troops under his command belong to the first to fourth wings. And it can be seen from the number of the wing that the "Sky King Cavalry" is undoubtedly the strongest force among the kings.

The "Sky King Rider" is based on the No. 0 base in the suburbs of the royal capital, and is responsible for maintaining the security of the airspace near the royal capital. Because the airspace near the royal capital is a place where airships come and go frequently, and the oil and water are extremely rich, it has always been the hardest hit area for air thieves. It is no joke to say that Nuo Yin is shouldering the lives of millions of residents of the royal capital. On the other hand, although Nuo Yin ascended to the throne of the strongest pilot in the name of "Brilliant Thunder Dome", it was not so much when she went to the battlefield in person. In other words, compared to going to the front line to participate in the crusade against the air thieves, as the captain of Bai Xiang, she still has more transactional work to deal with.

Today, Noin also came to his deacon office early in the morning, and then greeted the clerk who was one step ahead.

"Good morning, Rachel. ”

Rachel, the clerk of Noin, is a beautiful woman with a golden curly. Rachel is a little older than Noyin, with a plump figure that cannot be covered by a military uniform, and is kind and loving, in the words of young pilots, the type of "the calm breath of a mature woman floating around her at any time", which can be said to be an important tranquilizer equivalent to the "Sky King's Ride". To Noin, Rachel is not only a trusted subordinate, but also a close friend.

"Good morning, Noin. Rachel responded to Noyin in a cordial voice that didn't look like a subordinate greeting her superior, and then carried a stack of Wen Jiàn to Noyin's desk.

"These are ......," Noyin frowned at the hill-like bunch.

"It's all about the past criminal records of the '*Raider' Air Pirates. Rachel scolded Noin, and looked indignant. "Based on their confessions, I retrieved the past records from the database, because they had committed so many misdeeds that it took a whole day to find them...... Fortunately, I caught them this time, otherwise I don't know how many people would have been harmed. ”

"Definitely. Noin nodded in agreement with Rachel, and couldn't help but smile bitterly as her eyes swept over the pile of information. "Do I want to read all of these materials?"

"Well, please read this information and write a detailed report of the incident. Rachel said solemnly, adding at the end. "By the way, because the palace has been urging since yesterday, the deadline is today?"

"Is there only one day......" Noin sat down with a wry smile and casually flipped through the top copy.

"I'll get you some drinks, Noin, do you want tea or coffee?" Rachel said with a smile.

“...... Coffee was just fine. Noin ordered a refreshing drink.

"Okay. Rachel quickly brought a cup of fragrant coffee to her table with great skill, and prepared a cup for herself.

"Well, thank you. Noin stared at the document as he picked up his coffee and brought it to his mouth.

"Poof!" In the next moment, Bai Xiangchang squirted out the coffee in his mouth, and coughed violently as if he had choked on some impact.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, this ...... What is this......"

"Is it hot? But, I've tried the temperature?" Rachel panicked as she handed Noin a handkerchief.

"It's not...... Ahem, it's not a coffee problem......" Noin coughed, pointing to the brown-dyed text. "What is said above ......"

The text is written about the truth about the attack from the surviving air thieves - in other words, the story of someone who single-handedly suppressed the air bandits.
