Volume 1 The Adventures of the Royal Capital 160 Post-War Variety
160 Post-war variety
Katos seemed to have changed the power structure of the Crooked Sky Fortress to a considerable extent, and even Xiude couldn't determine the correct way to control it for a while, so everyone had to stay on the fortress for a few more days. During this period, he cleaned up the battlefield and eliminated the remaining demon insects in the fortress, which alone took a full three days. On the fourth day, Xiude finally figured out the power control of the fortress and manipulated the fortress to slowly descend.
In order to save his budget, Xiude planned to use the Crooked Empty Fortress as a substitute for the destroyed royal city, so he moored the fortress on the Lake of Saint's Grace and began to plan to connect the fortress with the royal capital with a drawbridge. However, his plan was strongly opposed by his sister. Princess Elsa, who advocated "not to add unnecessary uneasiness to the people, leaving such things would only incite unnecessary ambitions", demanded that the Crooked Void Fortress be re-sunk into the lake, and someone was of course unwilling to give up the valuable inheritance of his ancestors, which led to a heated dispute between the two siblings of the Ravelis family.
As the hero of the capture of the fortress, Kirin has a great say in this matter. Although he also felt that it was a pity to sink the fortress into the lake, he also thought that Elsa had a point, so he had to maintain a neutral position. On this day, the brother and sister of the Ravelis family began to quarrel again over the disposal of their ancestors' inheritance, and the unicorn, who did not want to get involved, walked out of the fortress and slid all the way to the lake of Grace along the temporary iron cable.
In the previous turmoil thrown by Katos, the royal capital was severely damaged by the dragon raiders, and reconstruction work is currently underway. The shadows of transport boats coming and going can be seen everywhere in the sky, and there are also shadows of a few kings. The unicorn narrowed his eyes to see if there was a wolf flame in it, but the sound of violent wings flapping came from behind him.
"Huh, it's Wangcai, and ......" It was the griffon's Wangcai who landed behind him, but the person on its back was someone else.
"Miss Angelina?" Qilin was surprised, looking at the red-clothed dragon queen on Wangcai's back. "Why did you get down?"
"Well, I'm coming to Noin. Angelina greeted Kirin with a chuckle, and then moved her gaze to the crooked fortress on the lake. "As a result, you still moved it down?"
"yes, you can't just let it stay in the Sky Realm forever, can you?"
"Actually, I think that's pretty good. Angel Lina's voice seemed to be a little regretful. "The airspace around there is my territory, and since I have allowed it, it doesn't matter if you stay. Isn't it inconvenient for me to come and visit the door after taking the trouble of moving down like this?"
"Ha, haha......" Kirin chuckled dryly, and then shifted the subject to which it was not appropriate to talk about. "Speaking of which, didn't Miss Angelina come to find Noin?"
"Well, do you know where Noin is?"
"Noin should be directing the reconstruction at the base, and you want me to lead the way?"
"No, I know the way. Angelina knocked on Wangcai's head, Wangcai screamed, and rose into the air in despair.
"I'll go around and find Noyin, and you'll go back to the Duke's Palace and wait for us." Sitting on the griffin, the red-clothed dragon queen bowed her head and instructed the unicorn.
"Huh?" Kirin was stunned for a moment. "I'll go back to the Duke's Palace...... Is there something wrong with me?"
"Of course. Angelina suddenly smiled like a cat, then raised her fingers and kissed the unicorn. "It's a good thing, so let's look forward to it. β
........................
I have to admit that Long Ji's flying kiss makes people's hearts pound, but at the same time, it also makes Kirin feel a strong uneasiness. It was impossible to imagine that Angelina would have something to do with Noyin, but she couldn't ignore Long Ji's instructions because of this, so Kirin had no choice but to walk towards the Duke's Palace. Before returning to the Duke's Palace, he had to pass through Second Avenue, which was home to the Greine Business Association, so Kirin stopped by to see Erie.
Erie had previously been appointed as "Special Financial Adviser to the Crown" and had recently been forced to take the title of "Governor of the Ringeil Reconstruction". "Because I want to concentrate on planning the royal city, so I'll leave it to you here, just discuss it with the teacher if you have something" Xiude, who said this, didn't care whether the two of them wanted it or not, so he put all the matter on the heads of the Duke and Grayn Shaodong.
Although this arrangement aroused the resentment of the parties involved, someone had to be responsible for the reconstruction of the royal capital, and as a result, Yili had to lament and stand up to direct the restoration of the royal capital with the Greine Business Association as a base. Qilin heard that this Shaodong has been busy every day recently, but when he came to the door of the business association and saw the actual situation, he felt that he still underestimated Grace Shaodong's endurance.
"Fourth Avenue is only a third of the way through temporary housing, what? What? Not enough people? Not enough people to bring the residents of Fourth Avenue on board. Three meals a day are provided free of charge, but there is no pay...... By the way, residents who contribute a lot can give priority to the allocation of housing, and just like that, the word will be spread. β
"The progress of the work on the Third Avenue is lagging behind! Gather as many technicians and craftsmen as possible to get an extra 10% salary, and be sure to get the industrial system of the royal capital back up and running before the reconstruction of the Fourth Avenue is completed! The most important thing to restore order to the people's lives is to give them something to do, and I don't want to say this kind of thing a second time. β
"First Avenue?ah, it's okay to leave that thing alone for the time being...... Hmm? The nobles are complaining that they don't have a place to live? I want to find someone to complain about! Tell them to go to Your Majesty if they complain! The priority of the first avenue is at the back of the second avenue, but Ralph's embassy needs special treatment, and the problem is the location...... Ah, Kirin, you've come just in time!"
Yili, who was having a headache, saw the unicorn dangling in the distance, so his eyes lit up, and he immediately waved him over.
"Well, you seem to be busy?" said Kirin with a wry smile as he walked over and greeted him.
"Not very busy, but very busy, I haven't even had time to take a sip of water since the morning......" Taking advantage of the time he walked over, Yili picked up the teacup next to him and drank it down.
"There's something I want to ask you. After taking a breath, Yili asked the Kirin for help. "After that incident, although Katos was not caught in many hidden dangers, it also made the Ralph clan agree to the request to conclude an alliance with the kingdom, which was a big deal for the kingdom. The negotiations on the Duke's side were going well, and I was struggling with the location of the Ralph Embassy...... Speaking of which, you have a good relationship with the wild elves, can you ask them to send a few more assistants over there?"
"No problem. The unicorn promised. "Pyrotis returned to the tribe yesterday, and when she comes back in two days, I will tell her to send more men. β
"That's good......" Erie let out a sigh of relief, then waved off his men, trying to change the subject to a more lighter one. "Anyway, how is the progress between you and Bai Xiang Chang after that?"
"Enter...... What progress?" Kirin began to pretend to be confused.
"Courtship, of course. Yili pointed out sharply. "Didn't you say that you would woo Captain Bai Xiang after the empty thieves were cleared? Uncle Duke couldn't wait, and he mentioned it several times in front of me, and he was worried that his son-in-law would be abducted by the wild goblins or something......"
"It's no such thing, I'm single-minded about Noyin!, it's just ......" Kirin scratched his head in annoyance. "This kind of thing is not just about doing it, timing is very important!
"Really, I think the time is sufficient, maybe Bai Xiang Chang has been waiting for you to confess for a long time?" Yili patted Kirin on the shoulder. "Anyway, it's better to be a man and take the initiative. As for the bride price, I have already prepared it for you, and the Duke and Uncle have already made plans, and even His Majesty plans to deliver a speech at the ceremony, so we will wait and see. β
"You ......" Kirin looked at Yili in amazement, and after a while, he lowered his shoulders and sighed heavily.
β...... You guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. β
........................
Katos, who is clearly the culprit, is still at large, but his mood is so leisurely, is it really good?
On the way back to the Duke's Palace, Kirin asked himself this question more than once. At this time, I should have asked my seniors for advice, but Bo Dan and the others have been holding two positions recently, and they seem to be very busy. In fact, even if he didn't ask, Kirin could probably guess what the captain would say.
"Tsk, that means you haven't practiced enough, kid. If it were Bodan, he would have answered him like this. "Even if you don't have Katos, can you guarantee that there will be no war in the future?In short, the matter is over, and you should rest when it's time to rest! Always be ready to fight and enjoy life to the fullest, this is the attitude of a mature man!"
"Well, that's right......" Kirin nodded movingly. After some self-explanatory work, he let go of the burden in his heart and entered the Duke's Palace through the side door.
The Duke's Palace has also been damaged to a considerable extent during the nesting activities of the Demon Worms, and about half of the area has become unusable. However, there are not many people in the Duke's Palace, so even if only half of it is left, it is still enough for everyone to live. After entering the Duke's Palace, Kirin saw that some guards were spontaneously repairing the damaged Prince's Palace, and the maids were also busy cleaning up the ruins. Originally, he also planned to come forward to help, but after looking left and right, he felt that there seemed to be no place to intervene, so he had to smile bitterly and go around.
When I walked into the inner house, I heard the voices of Charlotte and Khaya coming from inside. As the Ralph clan agreed to form an alliance with the kingdom, the goblin was sent to the Duke's Court as an advance ambassador, but the relationship with the little duke showed little signs of improving. However, in Kirin's opinion, the two of them who carry each other are both happy in it, and for Charlotte, the youngest of the four sisters, Keya is also a rare playmate of the same age. Both the Duke and Noyin have a laissez-faire attitude towards the friendly exchange between the two little girls, and Kirin certainly has no intention of interfering.
"Well, it's getting more and more lively here, not bad. β
Kirin sighed as he walked towards the hangar on the tarmac. The hangar that was used to renovate Wolf Flame has become his exclusive lounge, one of the few places in the Duke's Palace that has not been destroyed. However, he hadn't been to the Duke's Palace for a long time since he had left the Duke's Palace, and he planned to take advantage of this time to tidy up, maybe he would have a chance to use it in the future.
β...... Huh?" Coming to the hangar door, Kirin found that the originally closed garage door had been half opened. "Anyone?"
Through the half-open door, you can see a pure white empty rider parked inside. The aerial ride was something that Kirin had never seen before, but the beautiful woman who was busy at work was a familiar figure to him.
(That...... Could it be the new mech sent by Aden? It turns out that she is not at the base, so Miss Angelina will probably come over directly later, right?) Thinking like this, Kirin suddenly had a prank thought in his heart. He couldn't help laughing, reined in his breath, and quietly approached Noyin. And Noyin, who was cleaning the body, was unaware of this, and the unicorn who sneaked behind her even heard her humming.
"Don't move!" Qilin suddenly shouted, reaching out to hug the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Ah......h At the same time, the unicorn also noticed something unusual, and the sensation coming from the palm of his hand was much more delicate than he remembered.
"It's not a promise...... Uhh At the same time as the vision in front of him was spinning, his back also fell heavily to the ground.
"Ahhh......h And he was holding his chest with one hand, glaring at him with shame and anger.
"You ......" Kirin winked and asked rather an inappropriate question. "Who are you?"
"That's my question!" The girl, who was similar to Noyin, trembled with anger. "How dare you do such a thing to Miss Ben...... Have you lived enough?"
"Wait! I didn't mean to...... You're a celestial!" Kirin's eyes widened in astonishment as two pairs of light wings emerged from behind her, and then exclaimed. "This ...... This is a misunderstanding!
"Less! Guys like you...... Guys like you, die early!"
The girl's hand lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the unicorn's heart was enveloped in despair in an instant. But just as the tragedy was about to fall, a soft cry from outside the door stopped everything that followed.
"Titania?"
Kirin looked back and saw Noin standing in the door of the hangar, looking this way in surprise. And the red-clothed dragon queen stood beside her, casting an interesting gaze at the farce on this side. A helpless man and a girl with tears in her eyes don't seem to be more misunderstood than this. Looking at Noyin's puzzled gaze, Qilin's ears seemed to sound with demonic laughter, and what happened next made him fall into hell completely.
"Second sister!" the girl screamed and threw herself into Noyin's arms.
"It's Titania, why did you come back all of a sudden?" asked Noin in surprise.
"Well, I heard that there was a mess in the royal capital, so I came back to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet that Dengzi as soon as I landed!" Titania turned her head and glared at the Kirin with a fierce gaze.
"That's it...... Let's just say that it was a misunderstanding!" Qilin shouted for himself.
"Misunderstanding? Is it also a misunderstanding when you touch someone's breasts?"
"I, I thought you were the ...... of Noyin"
"What! Do you think the second sister can do that kind of thing?" Titania's eyes widened, and her voice increased. "You...... What the hell are you?"
"I ...... I'm ......" Kirin glanced at Noyin, remembered Erie's words, and suddenly relented.
"I'm your second brother-in-law!"
The high-spirited voice sounded in the small hangar, Titania's eyes widened for a moment, and she shook twice as if she had been impacted, and then quickly turned around and grabbed the second sister, hurriedly confirming.
"Second sister, is it true? He's really ......."
β...... Huh?" Noin seemed to be frightened by the sudden confession, and was shaken a few times by Titania before she came to her senses. Her face turned crimson on the spot, as if she didn't dare to touch the unicorn's gaze, and that shy demeanor explained everything more accurately than any language.
"I don't believe it!" Titania's scream rang out. "This kind of person...... How can this kind of person be a second brother-in-law!"
"What's wrong with this kind of person? Tell you, even the Duke and Uncle have agreed to our marriage!"
"I don't admit it!
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't admit it, as long as Noyin admits it...... Hey, what are you doing with your wings of light, do you want to fight?"
"I'm going to expel you by force!"
"Hmph! Good men don't fight with women, just now my subordinates showed mercy, this time I'll let you make three moves!"
"Ahh......h
........................
"Oops, did it turn out like this......"
Angelina did not intervene in the civil war in the Isère family, but retreated outside the hangar to watch the bustle inside. The red-clothed Long Ji played with her long hair, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"I was going to take him to the Sky Realm, but it seems to be more interesting here......" After a few minutes of contemplation, Angelina decided. "Well, because it's funny, I'll stay here for the time being. β

PS: Well, before I knew it, it was the last chapter. Although it ended earlier than expected, it was not a bad pen, and I would like to thank all the readers who have been supporting the lion, you have worked hard! Although there are still some regrets, but that is the lion's own problem. Actually, because I was bent on writing a strong story, I spent too much effort on the background setting, but I ignored the most important part of the plot. The result of putting the cart before the horse is the lion's current deep introspection.
In the next book, the lion will learn from the lesson and write a more interesting story, but the theme has not yet been decided...... Well, that's not right, because there are several stories I want to write, and each of them seems to be very charming, and it's hard to choose. In any case, the pleasure of the lion lies in describing one's imaginary world, and if the world can be recognized by everyone, then the lion will be even more indescribably happy.
Thank you again for your support, you have worked so hard!
