Naturally, Kirin stayed at the Duke's Palace that night, but the soft bed covered with goose down made him sleep very unaccustomed to it, so he woke up early in the morning.

Having said that, the coarse cloth clothes that were packed from the Great Wilderness Village were forcibly expropriated by Nuo Yin last night, and what was on the desk was Nuo Yin's choice of an aristocratic civilian dress for him. This casual dress is made of black and the cuffs and neckline are gilded, with a solemn atmosphere and a faint noble atmosphere. Although the unicorn is not used to the touch of silk, it is quite fond of the style of clothes, and it does not affect the movement at all under the proper cut.

When Kirin changed into this casual suit and walked out of the room, the sun had just begun to emerge from the clouds in the sky. From the adjacent courtyard came the crisp chirping of birds, and with the exception of a few early servants, the Duke's palace was immersed in a lazy atmosphere. Because Nuo Yin said yesterday that he would go to the base in the morning to deal with military affairs and introduce his family to Kirin when he came back later, Kirin actually didn't have anything to do for the day today, but he didn't worry about killing time. Yesterday he took a cursory look and felt that the size of this duke's palace was really quite impressive, and as a place for exploration, it was enough to kill a day.

Not far along the trail, the unicorn appeared in a fairly open courtyard. The garden is surrounded by blooming cherry trees, and in the center is a clear pond where a few koi fish swim leisurely, and the sight is pleasing to the eye. Afterwards, the unicorn walked to the edge of the pond and washed his face with the clear water, and several fat koi strongly stimulated his appetite, but considering the trouble of starting a fire early in the morning, he still temporarily pressed the predator.

After washing his face, the unicorn left the pond and came to the open area of the courtyard, and as he adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, his body naturally entered the peak state of preparation.

Since he was three years old, Qilin has developed the habit of smelling chickens and dancing, this is because his hometown Dahuang Village is located in the "lawless zone" where monsters are rampant, and it is impossible to live in the "lawless zone" if he does not practice protective martial arts since he was a child. On the way to the royal capital, the Kirin spent three days on the airship, but because there was no practice space on the airship, the Kirin was actually holding his breath. Later, although the battle with the air thieves gave him a channel to vent, the process was almost one-sided, and there was no refreshing feeling of defeating the monster at all.

So now, Qilin has poured all the accumulated depression into his fists and feet, and has practiced the martial arts that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Great Wilderness Village. It should be noted that because the air current energy scattered in the atmosphere has the characteristics of high concentration and low dilution, it is still mainly cold weapons such as swords to fight on the ground. But for the Dahuang Village, which has always been poor, a good sword is basically the living expenses of a family of three for half a year. Moreover, against the steel-and-iron monsters in the "Impossible Zone", the damage rate of the sword is surprisingly high. So later, the people of Dahuang Village simply gave up the use of weapons and switched to pure ** to fight against monsters.

In the hundreds of years of fighting against monsters, the martial arts of the Great Wilderness Village slowly formed their own fierce style. For example, in order to wield a destructive power that is enough to kill monsters with one blow, the Great Wilderness Martial Arts basically abandoned the attack action based on the upper limbs, and instead used more powerful lower limbs to deal fatal blows to the opponent. The one that attacks the lower plate is called the "Earth Tooth", and the one that attacks the upper plate is called the "Sky Tooth", and as for the "Heavenly Crescent Split" used by the Kirin on the airship, it is a derivative skill of the "Heavenly Tooth". It destroyed the skeleton of the airship with just one blow, and if its power was used on the human body, the result would be self-evident.

The attacks of the Great Wilderness Martial Arts are mainly on the lower limbs, while the upper limbs are mainly used for defense. In addition to being able to effectively resist the attacks of monsters, it is not difficult to break sharp weapons such as swords with bare hands. And if you cultivate "qi" to a higher level, you can even use the stunt of "sealing acupoints". It was a technique of using "qi" to block the other party's meridians, and Qilin had seen the elders of the village use this trick to level several giant monsters, but he hadn't practiced that kind of Cheng dù yet.

Among the younger generation in the village, Kirin is one of the best in the world, and he has the confidence to defeat any monster on the ground - but the Sky Thief is the exception.

In the face of these opponents who are flying high in the sky and are simply beyond the reach of his fists and feet, the only thing he can do is to use the light skills he has cultivated to escape faster. Recalling yesterday's encounter with the air thief, Kirin's pace and breathing were a little disordered. At that time, he was so light that he leveled the air thieves who boarded the ship, and even captured their leaders as prisoners, but he still had no way to take the flying air thief ship. If Noin hadn't arrived in time to rescue with an airhorse, he would have turned into a fireball along with the airship.

"Not at all...... "Kirin kicked out angrily. With a crisp "pop", the winds that shot out in a spiral shape left deep footprints on the opposite wall.

"That's not going to work!" the Kirin roared as if venting his anger, and stopped moving.

The martial artists on the earth and the air thieves in the sky, the two sides were at completely different levels from the beginning, and even if he continued to practice for another hundred years, there would still be no way to deal with the air thieves. In order to defeat the Sky Thief, Kirin desperately needs a tool, a tool that can allow him and the Sky Thief to stand on the same level and start a war. Until yesterday, Kirin didn't know what the tool he was looking for was, but now, as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the silhouette of the cyan air rider, streaked across the sky with incomparably graceful gestures.

The unicorn stretched out his hand to the top of his head, and what greeted him was the infinite sky, and the beating heart of "bang" made him extremely sure that it was what he had longed for and chased for a long time.

A pair of wings that can take him to a new world.

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

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Just when the unicorn was immersed in violent emotion, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the side.

Kirin looked down in embarrassment, only to see a little girl three steps away from the left, casting a curious look at him.

"Uh......" A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Qilin's forehead, and while he was ashamed that he had allowed others to get so close, he quietly looked at the little girl in front of him.

The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a white dress with lace trim, and her figure was as petite as a doll. The little girl has a light green head reminiscent of spring buds, and the other green hair is braided into two delicate braids, which are placed on both sides like the ears of small animals, giving a very cute feeling. There are a few freckles on her delicate appearance, but it does not affect her cuteness at all, and it makes people feel like a little girl next door, and on her face, Qilin was a little surprised to see Nuoyin's face, and for a moment couldn't help but wonder if it was Nuoyin and Chechen's child.

(No, it can't be...... Kirin shook his head, trying to calm himself. (Noin has only been married for a year, right?How can she have a teenage daughter, then she is...... Noin's sister?)

Kirin looked at the little girl again, and when he noticed the pair of cyan eyes that were almost identical to Noyin, he confirmed his guess even more.

"Big brother?" the little girl looked at him with a puzzled look. "What are you doing?"

"Uh, I'm in ...... I'm looking at the weather!" "Today's weather is good, there is no wind or rain, it is a good day to go out and play...... Anyway, little sister, who are you?"

It seemed that she couldn't keep up with Qilin's jumping thinking, and the little girl was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

Under the gaze of the unicorn, the little girl took a step back, lifted the corners of her skirt with her hands, and greeted him with a well-trained and graceful gesture.

"First meeting, big brother, my name is Charlotte, and I am the youngest daughter of the Duke of Isère. What about the big brother's name?"

(Hmm, good...... It's glaring...... The little lady's words and deeds seemed to exude some kind of unattainable noble brilliance, and the unicorn from the countryside was so shaken that he could barely open his eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, straightened the crumpled clothes on his body, and then coughed lightly and introduced to Charlotte.

"My name is Kirin, and I'm ...... Was a guest of Noin. ”

"Sister's guest?" Charlotte let out a small exclamation and circled the unicorn twice, her eyes flashing with an interesting look. "It's strange that my sister has never brought a boy back to the house...... Big brother, what's your relationship with your sister?"

"Uh, what's the ......" The little lady in front of her seemed to have a terrifying insight beyond her age, and when she asked the point, Kirin couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and at the same time confused. It is possible to simply introduce "I said your sister's brother-in-law", but can the little lady in front of her understand the complex causes involved? Moreover, this seems to be a little too cheeky......

Just when Kirin was troubled, Charlotte, who was looking at him carefully, suddenly clapped her hands and preemptively revealed his identity. "Ah, I see! You're Brother Chechen's brother, right?"

"What......" Qilin looked at the little lady with a look of surprise that could not be concealed. "You...... How do you know?"

"Because the eldest brother and Brother Chechen look very similar! Both are black and black-eyed, and I have also seen Brother Chechen practicing martial arts, just like the eldest brother just now. Charlotte looked up triumphantly. "Right?"

"Yes...... Yes...... No, I'm so surprised! You're so smart, Charlotte!" the Kirin praised the little lady sincerely, and sighed secretly in his heart. Whether it is Noyin or Charlotte in front of me, after meeting them, I always feel that my previous understanding of women seems to be fundamentally wrong. It's just that I don't know if all the women in Lingear City are like this, or if the daughters of the Isère family are more special.

"Uh-huh!" Charlotte, who was praised by Qilin, puffed up her chest hard, and then took Linlin's hand and begged: "That, big brother, can I call you Brother Qilin?"

From the look of wistfulness in those animal-like eyes, Charlotte's expression looked as if she was worried that her request would be rejected by Kirin.

"Yes...... Okay, then I'll call you Charlotte, right?" Kirin nodded, feeling a little burning on his face. He has no other siblings other than his brother Chechen, so whether it is the older Noyin or the younger Charlotte, there is always an unaccustomed sense of restraint when getting along with them.

"Well, Brother Kirin, Brother Kirin, you haven't visited the Duke's Palace, have you?" Charlotte happily took Kirin's hand and volunteered to be his guide. "Sister Nuo Yin is not here now, will I take you around?"

Seeing Charlotte's cute appearance, Kirin couldn't help but smile and nodded naturally, "Well, then please." ”

So in the following time, Charlotte began to drag him around the ducal palace.

After listening to Charlotte's introduction, Kirin realized that the Duke's Mansion was bigger than he imagined. The place where he stayed last night was a guest room for entertaining guests, including the courtyard where he practiced martial arts, which actually only occupied a small area in the Duke's Palace. The most majestic building in the Duke's House is the main residence where the Duke lived, where Noin and Charlotte lived. On the west side of the main house were the residences of retainers and servants, and there were many functional facilities such as warehouses, playgrounds, and kitchens, which were probably not inferior to a small town in terms of size. However, one of the most interesting for the Kirin is the tarmac located in the northeast corner of the Duke's Palace.

The so-called apron is the place where the airship takes off, lands and mooring. The apron of the Duke's Palace, although not as large as an airbase, is large enough to accommodate the take-off and landing of medium-sized airships. Kirin saw a small ornately decorated airship on the tarmac, and the coat of arms of the Isère family was engraved on the outside of the airship, and he knew that it was the Duke's private airship without Charlotte's introduction. Because the use and maintenance of airships consume a lot of resources, owning a private airship also reflects the deep heritage of the Duke's family from the side.

Next to the tarmac, Kirin also has a small separate hangar, but the door of the hangar is locked. He asks Charlotte about it, but even Charlotte doesn't know what's inside.

“...... It's so tightly locked. Kirin tried to pull the iron door, but the iron door did not move, and he looked at Charlotte curiously. "Charlotte, can't you open this door?"

"Well, Charlotte hasn't been here either, I'm sorry......" Kirin just asked casually, but Charlotte looked very sorry, lowered her head and played with the corners of her skirt, looking at Kirin uneasily. "However, my sister may have the key to open the door...... Why don't you wait for your sister to come back, and Charlotte will ask her again, okay?"

"Don't take it personally, I'm just asking. Kirin chuckled and shook his head, reaching out to rub the little lady's head.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Charlotte touched her head and giggled, then suddenly stopped, blushed and whispered: "Brother Qilin, you and Brother Chechen, there are still some differences......"

"Oh, what's different?" Qilin curious.

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Charlotte struggled to sort out her feelings, and said slowly, "That, Brother Chechen has never touched my head...... When I'm with my sister, I've never laughed like you......"

"Really? That guy is thin-skinned, maybe he's just shy. Kirin shrugged his shoulders, but frowned inwardly.

Obviously, with a good woman like Nuoyin by his side, coupled with a well-behaved sister like Charlotte, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Even if there is any reason, such as suddenly leaving his wife and saying goodbye...... Kirin really didn't understand Chechen's approach, but it wasn't suitable to say it in front of Charlotte.

"Anyway, isn't it time for lunch?" said Kirin as if he was about to change the subject, and grumbled exaggeratedly. "After a morning at the Duke's house, my stomach growls with hunger, and I can swallow even a cow whole, Charlotte?"

"I ......" Under the gaze of the unicorn, the little lady blushed, lowered her head and whispered, "I can't eat...... That, a cow ......"

Charlotte's embarrassed appearance looked more uncomfortable than usual, and Kirin couldn't help but want to tease her again, but at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded behind her. A maid shouted Charlotte's name as she searched left and right.

"Little Miss, so you're here!" Seeing Charlotte beckoning, the maid ran over in a panic. She glanced at Kirin, then leaned down and whispered something in Charlotte's ear.

“...... Looking for Brother Kirin?" Charlotte looked surprised, then nodded to the maid. "Okay, I know, I'll tell Brother Sù Qilin, you go get busy first. ”

After the maid retreated, Charlotte turned her head to look at Qilin and said cautiously: "That, Brother Qilin, a guest has come to look for you and is waiting outside the mansion, do you want to see him?"

"My guest?" Qilin looked puzzled, he thought, he shouldn't know anyone in the royal capital......
