Chapter Eighty-Four: The Night of the Settlement
The night is deep, and the twinkling stars on the gorgeous sky dome are like the reflection of the heart and soul.
Inside the heroic Falcon, Prince Ai Suyan has a smug look.
Such a strange and magnificent scene among the mountains and rivers may indicate that everything is destined to usher in a brilliant beginning.
He calmly manipulated the sky machine, but he didn't notice that Shalina on the side had quietly circled low at this moment.
Beneath your feet is a calm lake, like a bronze mirror, on which the approaching Heroic Falcon casts a large shadow as if it were a reminder of the old days.
Then, as Ai Suyan watched in amazement, her flying falcon suddenly swept across the lake like a goshawk, feeling like it was about to catch a fish swimming in the water.
The tremendous energy blended with the ripples of the water in an instant, and dragged a long, narrow trail of blue splashes, and as they glided, countless aquatic creatures leaped out of the water curiously, as if they were surprised by the sudden force.
After a while, the heroic falcon hovered up again, but this time, it no longer hesitated, on the contrary, it added a sense of relief that its wish had been fulfilled.
Ai Suyan scratched his head: After all this time, your actions are still so unexpected...
So he turned the nose of the plane in the same way, and began to fly towards the starry sky again.
At this time, the moonlight spread down like a wedding dress, and the increasingly intoxicated prince Ai Suyan, who did not notice the energy flame of the thruster, had slowly expanded.
However, if Academician Shuke himself was present, he would have been saturated by this energy and affected his own heart...
Besides, after that, the energy will run out, and then the Heroic Falcon may fall into the lake under the stars...
Ai Suyan shook his head and looked sideways at the starry sky, at this time Shalina had risen into the sky again, but there was no end to this world, everything had turned into the breeze in the night sky and accompanied the two of them...
There was no roar, no brilliance shone, and the two continents' premier sky machines just walked in the sky diametrically opposed to the entire continent without exhaustion, the blue thrusters drew a meteor-like trail, and before you knew it, the sky was about to break.
Meanwhile, in the inn of Pompeii, the knight William yawned softly, and then looked at his companion without saying a word.
"This guy Essusyan, he hasn't been seen for a long time since the palace was gone, and besides, do you really plan to go to the front again?" William?" asked one of the knights, hesitantly.
The rest of the crowd was silent, but William's slightly hollow voice rang out just right.
"Yes, according to the sources concerned, the fighting near the fortress city has become tense again, and it seems... It's the 100,000 combined legions of Silverwing and Hastan that have once again descended on the city..."
Immediately, he caught a glimpse of the warriors' expressions, as if there was something imperceptible to them.
"Marshal Tuyarav, who has always been extremely capable, was forced to ask for help from the imperial capital by a mere 100,000 troops?" said one of the knights, puzzled.
"Who knows... At least since we left, Tuyarav has not been heard from there, and I think he must have done his best for the Empire," said William.
Everyone nodded, and then they noticed that William had quietly gotten up and walked to the outside of the hotel.
"Uh... There's one more important thing that I want to do on my own, and it's worth knowing that tomorrow at noon, we're going to be on our way. β
Immediately, his figure ghostly disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, in the academician settlement, Ai Suyan and the others had already driven the machine back to the experimental field, and under the leadership of Shuke, everything was restored to its original state.
"You and my daughter are friends, but that's the end of today's sightseeing. Shuk said solemnly.
But the prince looked at Shalina suspiciously, as if she was puzzled by something, while Shalina smiled as if she had noticed something.
"You're trying to ask about the secret of that lakeβ" Her beautiful eyelashes furrowed slightly, as if she was blaming someone for her gaffe.
Ai Suyan nodded, looking like he wanted to say something.
"The answer is, I was there, seeing the reflection of my mother. Shalina confided her heart faintly, her eyes like black pearls shining with a radiance that went straight to humanity, and then she shook her head again, as if she was a little distressed.
"The lake was called 'Silent Lake', and when I was younger, my mother used to take me to see the wonderful scenery. Her voice was slightly sour.
"At that time, she often accompanied me under the elm trees on the shore of the silent lake, where the air was fresh and it was a good place to exchange emotions. β
"As for the countless birds that flapped their wings and flew by, their angelic chirping accompanied me for countless childhood afternoons. β
"And, whenever I have questions about the world, a cool breeze will come through my heart, and then she will go fishing and camping with me, like the closest companion. β
"However, I still grew up day by day, and gradually, the good times of those times finally turned into precious memories like clouds..."
But she left early, so that I was on the shore of the lake and suddenly noticed that above the water, there seemed to be a reflection of her face, and the feeling was so real that it was hard to believe my eyes. β
"In order to get close to her, my hero Hayabusa also involuntarily stayed on the surface of the lake for a long time..."
After saying all this, she shook her head, and there was a slight smile on her face: "There is another good thing, I want to take you to see it..."
Ai Suyan nodded, and then followed her steps into the room again.
Shalina pulled a whistling object from her waist and gently held it to her mouth.
Then a small, mischievous figure suddenly appeared, and it swooped up from the house, and the moment it noticed Essusyan, it pounced on it with ecstasy.
"Ahh You're still as energetic as ever..."Ai Suyan's heart was excited, and then a black, furry young claw quickly reached the tip of his nose.
After Ai Suyan deftly dodged this blow, the other party seemed to be snubbed by some kind of snub, and there seemed to be a sense of "unhappy" in his scream...
Then it rolled on the ground again, like an artist deliberately seeking attention. At the same time, Shalina suddenly reached out from behind and pinched the back of its neck impartially.
"According to my father, the weakness of this creature is this extremely fragile part... After all this time, I didn't expect it to be able to smell you through the room..."Sharina said with some excitement.
At the same time, the Archaeopteryx Tiger cub stopped writhing, and it looked pitifully at Essusyan's cheek as if it was looking for help.
"Like the fawn wind chimes, they stay with me since you entered the palace. Sharina picks the tea leaves and steeps them all in the clear spring water.
"By the way, where are you going next?" asked Shalina after a while, as if she had discovered something. γ
"Uh... It's a place called Falling Star Lake. Ai Suyan said calmly.
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Shuke's father and daughter were taken aback at the same time.
"Falling Star Lake, you're not kidding, are you!" Shuke turned his head, and the worry on his face was clear: "It's the place of the Silver Wing, but for us, it's a forbidden place..."
Then he coughed lightly a few more times and said, "But according to my daughter, your swordsmanship seems to be quite powerful, so it's no wonder he sent you." β
Then he held his chin in his hand and muttered for a long time, his face thoughtful.
"Before you leave, may you show me your weapons? At least, it can't be an easy road, and you'll have to prove something. β
Ai Suyan raised his head with some hesitation: this kind and kind old man is obviously a sincere guy, but...
However, after a long hesitation, he handed the sword and Neptune's musket to Shuk.
At first, the academician's expression seemed rather strange, as if he had encountered an extremely rare event, and then he began to speak in a serious tone.
"I have to say... The sword and musket are used at the same time, which is a wonderful combination..."
Shalina on the side happily answered, "Yes, I heard some soldiers say that he also used them to defeat a young magician..."
Shuke nodded slightly, but his gaze became serious again in the next second.
"This musket seems to be a product of Liberty Island. He frowned slightly, "Do you know the pirates?" and how many rounds of ammunition do you have in this gun?"
Ai Suyan nodded calmly, and a crisp voice came like a wind chime: "No more, no less, exactly eight rounds." Do you have any comments?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuck suddenly raised his head impartially.
"Of course, this Sea Dragon King musket of yours has too much ammunition inside..."
