"So many heavy, let my unicorn rush... Flying blue clouds... galloping in the majestic sky..."

Qilin looked at the blue sky outside the window while humming his favorite songs. Although it has been two days since he boarded this airship, he still cannot see enough of this boundless sky.

In fact, the airship he was riding in was called "Vincent". It was a high-level passenger ship belonging to the Kingdom of LaVillis, which regularly traveled to and from the southern border of the kingdom. Usually, passengers of high-level passenger ships like Virgin were either dignitaries or wealthy merchants, but Qilin was not the first two people, but just a civilian.

Qilin comes from Dahuang Village, which is a small village located in the western border of the kingdom. The reason for the strange name "Dahuang Village" is said to be because the villagers' ancestors were a god from other worlds, and "Dahuang" is the name of that place. Although the ancestor of the god has long disappeared after thousands of years, his bloodline has been passed down in Dahuang Village, and Qilin also has his bloodline flowing on his body. The rare black eyes and black hair are the best proof.

Dahuang Village is located on the border of the kingdom, where there is a "unable zone" with monsters and thieves. In a crisis-ridden environment, Qilin has developed a strong martial arts skills at a young age. Originally, Dahuang Village was not under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of LaVillis, and for Qilin, the name of the city of Wangdu Linger is as far away as the story of the poet Lingyou. As for why he boarded this passenger ship to the capital this time, it was actually because of his brother.

Qilin's elder brother is named Che Chen, five years older than him, and was born in Dahuang Village like him. Che Chen left Dahuang Village when Qilin was still young and went out to explore. Although Qilin didn't know what his elder brother was doing, judging from the letters that Che Chen occasionally sent back, Che Chen seemed to be working in the army of the Kingdom of LaVilles, and his status was not low. Since his elder brother was doing well, there was no need for Qilin to worry too much, but because Che Chen had not written a letter back in recent times, Qilin was a little concerned. Just three days ago, he suddenly received a letter from his elder brother, asking him to come to the capital once, but did not explain the specific reason.

Chechen attached a boat ticket and a considerable travel expenses in the letter, and did not give Qilin any chance to refuse. Fortunately, Qilin was quite interested in the outside world, and there was nothing important in the village recently, so he accepted his brother's kindness, packed his luggage and went to the designated city in the letter to fill in, and took the passenger ship to the royal capital there, and then spent two days on the ship.

For Kirin, who grew up in a border village, soaring in the sky on a flying boat is still the first experience in his life, so he almost immersed in the joy of fresh experience on the first day.

In addition to the prohibited bridge, Qilin almost ran through the airship. Whether it was the huge propulsion oar at the bow or the magical floating mechanisms in the machine room, it made him feel fresh. However, his enthusiastic behavior fell into the eyes of other passengers and became the object of contempt and contempt for the nobles. Qilin, who was immersed in the fresh experience at the beginning, had not paid attention to it, but now after the initial excitement gradually passed, it was difficult for him not to care about those explicit contemptuous gazes.

Just as Qilin was thinking, an exaggerated voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Ahhh, it smells so bad! Why do mice sneak in on this boat?"

With malicious directed lines that stimulated Qilin's disgust, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes.

I saw a noble young master dressed in bright clothes and fair skin turning out of the passage and showing a disgusting expression to the Qilin standing by the porthole.

"Really! Even the most basic cleaning is impossible. What are the people in the Administration doing for so much salary every year? If they are stenched from the country bumpkin, they have to use vanilla to wash off..."

The noble young master used an exaggerated volume to speak the lines that made Qilin lose his skin all over the ground, and then he went from taking his anger to his companions.

"So too! Yili! He asked me to come out, but he didn't even prepare a private yacht. What kind of decent is this! Do you look down on Embrion's family?"

"...Yes, I'm very sorry." The one who bowed his head to apologize was a gentle young man.

The young man named "Yili" was wearing a simple white dress, with simple gold edges on his sleeves and collar, and a corner of the pocket watch was exposed from his chest pocket. His cautious appearance and modest expression were really hard to make people feel disgusted, so Qilin's eyes also stayed on him for a longer time.

"In the future, I will ask my father to make good arrangements. Master Conrad, please believe that the Grain Chamber of Commerce is not disrespectful to the Embrion family." Yili did not associate with the other direction and whispered Qilin, but instead comforted the other party's emotions in a gentle tone.

"Hmph, is this really the case..." The noble young master named Conrad responded without comment, then turned to the Qilin, and ordered as if he were to be taken for granted: "Hey, untouchables, I want to go over and get out of there."

That arrogant attitude naturally aroused Qilin's anger, and he narrowed his eyes gently.

In the battle with monsters in the Great Wilderness Village, Qilin had already mastered the skills to intimidate the opponent, and shot out sharp and without hesitation from the dark pupils. In an instant, it penetrated the fragile spiritual defense line of the noble young master who was pampered. Conrad's movements froze on the spot, and the gentle young man next to him was also affected and his face changed slightly.

"What's your expression? Do you want to resist the nobles?" After the initial fear, Conrad reacted, stared at Qilin with a stern and cowardly voice, emphasizing his identity with a ridiculous tremolo. "Tell you, I... I am the legitimate son of the Embrion family! Taking action against me is equivalent to being an enemy of the kingdom! Do you... have such courage?"

Qilin looked silently at the noble young master in front of him - his limbs without any muscles, his vulnerable body, and his ignorant appearance of being brave enough to hang his teeth and claws at the strong, apart from being funny, it is really hard to have any other feelings.

At the noble young master who was trembling and threatening, Qilin was too lazy to be angry, but just a brief command.

"roll."

The command without any nonsense highlighted the overwhelming strength of the commander. Faced with the pressure released by the Kirin, even the slowest person should understand the huge difference in strength between them. Conrad's face quickly turned pale, and he looked around as if he wanted help. However, when he found that the usual guards were not around, his high head immediately drooped. Conrad glared at Qirin angrily, and then barely found a way for himself.

"Forget it... forget it, keep staying here will get the smell of a country bumpkin. I should go to the deck for a walk!"

"This is a good idea, Master Conrad. Now if you go to the deck, you will not be able to see the view of the royal capital." Yili attached to Conrad, but before leaving with Conrad, he seemed to have a profound look at Qilin with a meaningful look and nodded to Qilin as if he apologized.

After the two left, Qilin turned his gaze to the sky outside the window. The sea of ​​clouds that passed by the airship were still so magnificent, but his mood was destroyed by the scene just now. For Qilin, who grew up in the Great Wilderness Village, aristocrats were nouns that they had only seen in books, such as those wastes with no power and no ability to know the height of the sky and the earth, they could not live for a long time in the "unable zone". If the nobles in the capital were all like this, Qilin really doubted how Chechen had endured it over the years.

“…Huh?”

Qilin suddenly blinked his eyes, and looked along his vision and could see that the clouds on the left side of the Virgin horn were changing.

It turned out that a huge impact horn suddenly popped out from the white clouds, and then an airship that had never seen before rushed out of the clouds. The airship was only half the size of the Virgin, and its whole body was painted in gloomy black and gray. At its hideous bow, a black skull flag fluttered high, while the huge impact horn erected on the bow of the ship, pointing directly to the Virgin, which was close to it, and rushed over at the speed of a beast preying on it.

"That's..." Qilin frowned and looked at the fierce airship, and at this moment, a strange roar came into his ears.

The source of the roar should be the airship, sharp and thin, with a faint murderous aura, which seemed to be some kind of ominous code. The Qilin guessed the meaning of the other party's roar, but before that, what reached his ears faster were the terrifying screams that rang out from all over the airship.

………………………………………

"This sound...is an air pirate! It's a warning before boarding the ship!"

"Emperor pirates? Why are there air pirates appearing? Damn it! Isn't this near the royal capital? What has the Air Force done?"

"Air Force? The Air Force and other things have long been unable to believe it! Didn't even Wang Du Ling Yiel be attacked a while ago!"

"What should I do? Escape... Can I escape? Otherwise, if I surrender..."

"I...I heard that if I am willing to pay the ransom, I can save my life, but the woman will be..."

"Ahhhhhh! Damn it! Why did I encounter such a thing!"

The panic sounds sounded everywhere on the passenger ship, and the well-dressed officials and nobles turned into helpless lambs. Although there were experienced crew members trying to appease these noble passengers, they ended up being scolded as scapegoats.

The Virgin Stories fell into chaos almost instantly, and this was the effect the thieves wanted to whistle and warn.

"Air Pirate?" Compared to these nobles who are used to flying airships, the Kirin, who is accustomed to flying airships for the first time, adapts to the situation faster.

The so-called "air pirates" are robber groups that use the sky as their hunting ground. They usually target merchant ships and passenger ships, and often attack towns on the ground. They plunder everywhere they go and do everything they want. For people living on the ground, air pirates are two major disasters known as monsters. Although Qilin's hometown is located in the "unable area" outside the jurisdiction of the kingdom, they have not been robbed by air pirates, so he is not unfamiliar with these robbers in the air.

In fact, for the people in Dahuang Village, the air pirate ships armed with flying technology are more harmful than the many monsters that are active in the "unable zone". Unlike the monsters that can fight head-on, the cunning air pirates will first bomb the ground from the air. Faced with this situation, even the most powerful warriors will be helpless. After each air pirate bombing, the villages that were almost blown into ruins are left behind. Therefore, although the people in Dahuang Village hate the air pirates, they have no choice but to use these flying robbers.

For Kirin, it was the first time that he had experienced a close encounter with the air pirates in the air.

While my heart was so nervous that I was pounding, an incredible sense of high elevation surged out of my body.

He suddenly wondered whether the martial arts trained with monsters as his opponents could have the same effect on the thief...

At this moment, the Virgin, which was originally traveling smoothly, suddenly bumped. The Qilin looked out the window and found that the flow of clouds around it was also significantly accelerated. It was obvious that the airship was accelerating and trying to get rid of the air pirate ship. But this insignificant effort could only move the attack back a little. When the passenger ship pursued comfort encountered the air pirate ship built for the purpose of killing, its fate was already destined.

When the Qilin was rushing to the upper deck, the air pirate ship had already caught up with the Virgin at an astonishing speed. The black collision angle with the skeleton flag was inserted into the airship's tumbling from the left side. With a violent trembling, the two airships, one large and one small, intersected in the air in a forced manner. Since the impact point chosen by the air pirates deliberately avoided the Virgin's machine room, the floating mechanism that was continuously running still provided enough buoyancy for the airship, so the two airships floated quietly in the air, providing a perfect stage for the air pirates' next killing.

The pirates jumped onto the deck of the Virgin along the corner, and then automatically divided into two groups, one group leaping towards the bridge where the captain was located, and the other group leaping at the passengers on the deck who had not had time to escape. The pirates' principles for treating prey are quite simple, and all worthless men will be killed, while the young and beautiful women will stay, stripping their clothes and jewelry and tie them up, and staying for later enjoyment.

The group of air thieves had clear division of labor and ruthless methods. When the first group cleaned up the deck almost, the second group had also completed the suppression of the bridge.

A few armed crew members and the captain who tried to resist were killed on the spot. The pirates easily controlled the bridge and deck. There were only dozens of anxious passengers left on the Virgin who were locked in the lower cabin, unable to move like a lamb to be slaughtered. The whole action was quick and indeed perfect like an exercise. What the pirates had to do next was to drive the captive airship back to their nests, and then they could enjoy the women and treasures inside.

Seeing that the air pirates who had fully mastered the passenger ship, the air pirates who stayed on the deck couldn't help but feel ready. Because according to the air pirate rules, although the treasures they snatched must be handed over to the leader to distribute, the air pirates who snatched women could use their prey for a whole day. You must know that the high-end passenger ship was full of dignitaries, the aristocratic ladies who had tender skin and tender flesh and screamed were not met with high-end goods a few times in their lifetime! When they thought of this, the air pirates could no longer suppress their desire. Several fast-handed air pirates had kicked through the deck door and rushed into the cabin with a fierce look.

The pirates were holding a scimitar that they used for love, and the crescent-shaped blade was dripping with hot blood. The people who were already anxious were frightened and screamed when they saw the terrifying appearance of the pirates. They were all thrown out of the nine-night clouds, and they just squeezed back desperately, crying and tightly crunched into a ball at the stern of the boat. They didn't need the pirates to threaten them at all, so they gave up resisting.

Of course, the thieves welcomed this reaction. They looked at the white and tender little lambs with greedy eyes, but suddenly frowned.

They found that not all passengers were lambs, and there was a dark horse in front of the cowardly flock of lambs.

………………………………………

It was a young man with rare black hair, wearing coarse clothes, and could be separated from those well-dressed dignitaries at a glance.

While the others were pushing back desperately and shrinking into a ball of fear, the young man slowly moved forward, his movements were like flowing clouds and water. The fierce aura of the pirates seemed not enough to make him hesitate a little.

Just like a cheetah that gently leaned down before preying, the young man slowly moved his five fingers, and looked at the pirates with cruel and high joy. If he were experienced soldiers, he should be able to feel the young man's deliberate murderous aura and be frightened, right? But the pirates who were tangled with the number of people in front of him were far from reaching that level, so he laughed unrestrainedly at the actions of the young man.

They are a group of pirates with evil deeds. In previous robberies, they occasionally encounter such pretentious guys, and those guys have all become killing chickens to warn monkeys.

The six air thieves who broke into the cabin used their eyes to silence each other, and then moved their steps to surround the young man in the center. The young man was instantly in danger of fighting against six. As for the dignitaries who had turned into lambs behind him, they not only had the slightest desire to come out to help, but instead looked at the young man with gloating and even sarcastic gazes.

The reaction of the abuser encouraged the arrogance of the abuser. The thieves grinned and forced the young people into the eyes. In their opinion, the young people had no room for standing there and letting them cut.

A bearded air pirate stood in front, the captain of the air pirate group.

The beard raised the scimitar in his hand toward the young man, and the sharp edge of the blade made him squint his eyes proudly. He liked to hear the sounds of people wailing and begging for mercy before he died, especially the young and beautiful women, who had forty-nine people died under this knife. In the past, he always tortured his prey until he had only one last breath, but when he was remembered fifty, he planned to be happy and cut off the young man's head with one knife.

The bearded man was distracted for about a second, but when his eyes turned back to the target in front of him, the young man five steps was gone.

The bearded bearded subconsciously looked around, but just as he turned his neck, a sudden force hit his stomach.

This force was so strong that his internal organs were destroyed into minced meat in an instant. The remaining force of force even blasted his body into the air, crashing into the ceiling with four fingers thick, and scattered on the deck with the separation of flesh and blood, drawing a red cross of negative for the thieves who thought they were perfect for the hijacking action.

The scene of the bearded rushing through the deck like a cannonball brought an indescribable impact to the onlookers' spirit. Whether it was the air thief holding a knife or the passengers who shrank into a group, they all looked at the black-haired young man who maintained a swaying palm with almost dull eyes. But on the other hand, the Qilin, who made everyone stunned, was stunned, and stared at his right palm with incredible eyes.

"So weak..."

Because it was the first time that he had fought head-on with the Sky Pirate, Qilin was highly vigilant and used all his strength without reservation. Unexpectedly...

"So weak..."

Qilin couldn't believe that these small characters in front of him who were trembling with their swords, were the vicious air pirates who always took the air pirate ship and destroyed the village in a daze.

Compared with the monsters he usually fights, these air pirates are simply too weak to be immoral!

The strong hatred and the disappointment above Lingjia's hatred gave birth to a very destructive emotion in Qilin's heart. A roar of murderous intent and fierceness spread through the auditory nerves of the air thieves in the next second and became the last sound they heard.
