The black giant object, like the shadow of a demon chasing and destroying the fleeing enemy, the young man looked up and gasped.

Ai Suyan looked at him, his long hair began to dance in the wind like a silver elf, and his eyes were as clear as a mirror, as if he wanted to include everything in the world.

"Why are you so nervous, is the enemy now?" asked the young man.

Then he looked at the sky above him, and then unconsciously "hmm".

This kind of thing, I've never even heard Master talk about it, it seems... It's like a giant balloon... He thought to himself, confused.

He shook his head, but what was above him was still visible.

A wooden hanging basket is connected to the top by a rope and hangs in the distant air. At the end of the rope was a balloon-like object emitting black smoke, the inside of which was incredibly full.

"Anyway, this balloon is really beautiful, isn't it?" At this time, Ai Suyan keenly noticed that there were many vivid and beautiful patterns drawn around the balloon: "It doesn't look like an ordinary person's object... Huh, where have you been?"

I don't know when the figure of the young man has disappeared from Ai Suyan's sight.

"Alas, I really can't do anything about him..."Ai Suyan shook his head helplessly, and then he found an extremely interesting scene.

In the hanging basket under the balloon, there was a short old man dressed in white and gray hair, who seemed to be wearing a pair of black sunglasses from a distance. Most importantly, he holds a tube-shaped object in his hand, and from time to time he brings one end closer to his eyes, as if he is observing something.

At this time, a crisp voice came from Ai Suyan's ears again.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Immediately, Ai Suyan's mind began to descend from the sky rapidly, and he followed the sound to see that the young man was curled up behind a huge rock in the plain, and poked his head out to look at Ai Suyan, his face frightened, and his tone trembled slightly.

His voice was subtle enough for the prince to hear: "He has spotted you, and will soon land." Don't tell me where I'm going to be when you're talking, okay? ”

The prince didn't say anything, but just looked up, and then he noticed that the old man in white had gently pressed something like a switch above the hanging basket. Then the balloon began to slowly descend towards the ground.

The guy who came out of the inside of such a strange object, just by intuition, is enough to judge what is unusual about it...

Ai Suyan closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly.

The basket had landed, and the old man pushed the door open and appeared in front of Ai Suyan, while the young man was completely hidden behind the shadow of the rock, as helpless as a frightened bird.

The prince took a deep breath, and as the young man had said, the old man began to slowly approach Ai Suyan's body, his gray hair as if telling of the good old days. Then he asked, "Sir, have you seen a young man in brass armor on a tall horse passing by?" ”

His voice was old and powerful, and he looked into Ai Suyan's gaze like a piercing light that saw everything, and the corner of his trench coat flew in the wind, matching the white clouds in the sky.

Ai Suyan hesitated: It seems that the situation is not good for that guy...

He coughed softly.

The old man in white was silent, but his eyes were a little provocative.

"It's a pity that I don't know about it, and maybe, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Ai Suyan said in a deep voice.

The old man sighed slightly: "This kid is always so unstoppable. ”

He shook his head, said goodbye, and climbed into the basket again, quickly disappearing to the ground.

Ai Suyan shouted behind the stone, "Come out, he's already gone." ”

"Hehe, you must be tempted to ask, why did he chase me so far, did he?" the young man approached with a smile as if he were facing a familiar friend.

"Hmm. Ai Suyan said indifferently.

"Let me tell you a secret. The old man just now, he is actually my father. The young man did not seem to have considered the consequences of his words, and his expression remained calm.

Only Ai Suyan himself was shocked into a cold sweat, and he retreated again and again: "However, you seem to have had a lot of trouble with him." ”

The young man sighed: "Actually, it's not like that, what about my father... I always wish I could learn the science he is good at, but the strange and complicated machinery often makes me feel stressed. ”

There was a hint of innocence in his eyes: "Like every Denario adventurer, I wanted to travel the beautiful scenery of the end of the world when I was young, and it was already quite difficult to sneak out of the settlement on horseback this time. ”

"So, thank you so much. He said excitedly.

"So, since you're a family, you must know his identity and the machine he's driving?" Ai Suyan seemed to be unable to contain his doubts.

"He is the chief academician of the Imperial Academy of Ideal Sails, the inventor and guardian of the Sky Machine, and a once-in-a-century scientific wizard: Shuck Weasley. And I am his child, please call me Shaka. He bowed and said with an aristocratic temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Shaka, my name is Essyan, and I'm a—" He noticed that Shaka had deftly stepped onto his horse, and interrupted him with a crisp voice.

"If you want to know more about the 'floating balloon', we can talk as we go. ”

I have to say that the scenery of the Plains of War Scars is indeed very wonderful, the broken land is like a cracked rock, and there is no color under the ravines at all.

However, the wind here is like a hair comb in the hands of a virtuous beauty, gently plucking the heartstrings and hair of every person who has good things in their hearts, making people feel refreshed and happy.

"Have you ever longed for the sky?" asked Shaka after a long time, suddenly on horseback.

Ai Suyan was silent, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Actually, I would say that flying freely in the air does not mean having so-called wings. Shaka looked at Essusyan's puzzled face and said, "Father said that the wisdom of mankind will one day break through the sky until it is expected and recognized by all beings in the world. ”

And a beautiful, clean world was not born of weakness and laziness. It has been said that when the stars of Denario are no longer shining, only the two brightest stars will still show the way for lonely nightcrawlers. And their light points to magic, the other to science. ”

Therefore, when the sails of ideals and science are opened, human beings are destined to drift on the ocean of dreams for a long time. ”

"And the sky of Denario is not another ocean?"

"My father devoted his life to it, and he joined hands with all like-minded people, and succeeded in making the Holy Wing Empire, which accounts for almost half of the population of all human nations, take another step forward on the road to becoming a scientific and technological power. ”

"Now the items they have made have even begun to possess the ability to control the sky, which they call 'sky machines'. ”

On the plain of war scars, two young nobles who were familiar at first sight told their hearts when they met each other.

"Even if fate is rough and bumpy, I believe that my father will not be willing to stop his research. Shaka blinked and said, "Charge Rocket, Helicarrier, Hero Falcon... And, as you just saw, that advanced machine called the Floating Balloon. ”

"I've heard that these machines were nothing more than legends a hundred years ago, but after all this time, humans can ascend to the skies without the power of magic?" asked Essueyan, remembering Morton's old admonitions.

"When the trumpets of the charge sound in the sky, they will save everything in the world, including the lives of the warriors. Shaka said, "Time flies, and these are no longer legends. However, I heard that Emperor Arthur, whom the academicians were loyal to, once concentrated most of his scientific power in a very mysterious place, and according to my father's words, a lot of the research funds of the Academy of Sciences came from the royal family, so I had to obey the order. ”

"Nowadays, we can only see the grandeur of those 'sky machines' in the 'academician settlement' of the imperial capital Pompeii. "The principle of a floating balloon is to use a flame to heat the gas in the balloon and make it buoyant and lift it into the sky. ”

"But then again, Silverwing's betrayal marks the end of an era. If necessary, the Holy Wing Empire will definitely send stronger forces to deal with it. ”

Ai Suyan scratched his head, the wind chimes under his feet chirped quietly, and the Ancestor Tiger cub moved its limp body, as if trying to get close to the Academician's son in front of him.

"It looks like a new journey does await me. Ai Suyan raised his head, his tone was high-pitched and heroic, his long silver hair flowing like an autumn chrysanthemum, and Shaka looked at him calmly.

"The time has come, and it can be seen that your swordsmanship is not low. Shaka pointed to the sword at Ai Suyan's waist: "However, the war on the front line is not a simple struggle for interests, may you be able to forge ahead." ”

Then he smiled like a girl: "Of course, our mutual company must add a lot to all this." ”
