04 The Age of the Sky

By the way, although there are considerable differences in appearance and performance between airships and air riders, the principles of the two are actually exactly the same, and they are both legacy of an ancient civilization.

It was an ancient civilization called "sky civilization", and the ancient people who created the sky civilization were called "sky man".

In the atmosphere of this world, there is a magical energy called "air stream". In the heyday of the sky civilization, the heavenly people used this magical energy to build huge floating cities in the sky far away from the ground. At that time, aircraft like airships and air riders could be seen everywhere in the sky. The heavenly people dominated the sky and looked down at all things on the ground proudly in the floating city, as if to them, nothing in the world could be taken seriously by them.

However, like anything else, the civilization of the sky inevitably ushered in the end.

It is war that destroys the civilization of the sky.

It is a war between the gods and the rising dragon clan.

The great catastrophe, known as the "Dragon Man War", ended with the defeat of the heavenly beings. The rising dragon clan replaced the heavenly beings and became the dominator of the new sky and stood at the top of all food chains. The floating city built by the heavenly beings became the nest of the dragon clan, and the monsters became the retainers of the dragon clan. The dragon clan monopolized the favor of the sky, and the monsters regarded the ground as hunting ground and all things on the earth as food. From then on, the history of the earth entered a brutal dark age.

Faced with the overwhelming power of the monsters, for a long time, the people on the ground had no way to confront each other.

Fortunately, although the sky civilization was destroyed by the dragon clan, the heavenly beings themselves were not completely destroyed. Before the sky civilization was destroyed, a few heavenly beings landed on the ground to escape the catastrophe that burned the sky. After the dragon clan dominated the sky, some of them began to impart the knowledge of sky civilization to the people on the ground. After hundreds of years of hard work, the people on the ground digested the legacy of this part of the sky civilization and used them to develop revolutionary flying technology.

It took more than a century since the birth of the first airship that the air cavalry gradually appeared in the sky of the above earth, and people gained the power to fight against monsters for the first time.

The birth of the air cavalry gave humans a local advantage in fighting monsters, but it was a very fragile force. In fact, humans have not been able to shake the absolute rule of the dragon clan over the sky until now.

However, although the throne of the Dragon Clan could not be shaken, the birth of flying technology greatly changed the territory of the above-ground realm. The originally out of reach between countries also became close to the air technology. Then, countries that were forced by panic or driven by ambitions, who mastered flying technology threw wars to their compatriots around them, and by the time the war burned every corner of the world, more than three hundred years had passed.

During the long period of these three centuries, hundreds of countries were born and died, among which the Kingdom of LaVillis was just an inconspicuous name on the southern continent. And in the larger and wider area around it, there were monsters raging and thieves rampant in the area.

As for the "*pocketing" air pirate group that the two encountered today, it was just one of the many air pirate groups raging in the sky of LaVillis.

...Yi spent two hours telling Qilin about the overview of the world, and Qilin was confused and lost his mind.

For those who have lived in seclusion in Dahuang Village for generations, whether it is the "floating city" or the "sky civilization", they are unheard names. Compared with those distant history, pirates and monsters are more common disasters in their lives. In fact, Qilin often thinks about where those pirates came from, and has also asked the wise men in border towns, but they all got vague answers. When he told Yili these things, the young man in white shrugged his shoulders and explained in an out-of-fact tone.

"I think they probably don't know, right? After all, it's all three hundred years ago. And in this era, most people have to do their best to survive. Who has the leisure to care about those things that are not there? So it's not surprising that you don't know." Yili seemed to understand Qilin's problem in this way.

"But do you know very clearly?" Qilin looked at Yili in admiration.

"Well, after all, I'm also from a business family. It's no harm to know more..." Yili scratched her head embarrassedly, changing the topic.

"After that being said, the airship is about to land, what do you do?"

During the attack of the pirates, the airship, which had lost two engines, was once unable to move in the air. It was not until the Kingdom Army sent the work boat that the scarred airship flew towards the air base in the city of Wangdulingeil under the guidance of the work boat.

At this moment, Qilin stood on the side of the ship and looked down, and could see the vast apron of the air force base. A corner of the apron was filled with fully armed soldiers. He guessed that the crew might not have reported the news that all the air thieves were knocked down when they reported to the Kingdom Army. However, the three air cyclists were always on guard by the airship vigilantly, which was an unexpected gain for him.

The scarred airship was dragged to the predetermined position by the work boat, and the command tower emitted a flashing light signal. The crew members turned off the floating mechanism, and the airship that had lost its buoyancy slowly landed on the apron. When the waiting soldiers quickly took over the airship, the three aircars also slowly closed their wings and landed on the flat ground near the airship.

"Yili, those air cavalry are the 'Cangkong King'? What kind of troops are they?" Qilin asked Yili as he watched the landing air cavalry.

"When it comes to the 'Cangkong King', it is the most elite group in the Kingdom Air Force. They mainly govern the airspace near the King Capital, but they often participate in the fight against pirates in other areas. The air pirate group they destroyed is said to have more than 200, and they are known as the 'Kangkong Guardian' among the LaVillis people. Even for us merchants, it is still a very grateful army, but..." Yili gave a very high evaluation of the "Cangkong King's Cavalry", but shook his head helplessly at the end. "It would be even better if those pilots' heads were not so rigid... It's a pity that there are no perfect people in the world..."

"So that's it, Chechen is there..." Qilin was excited. He recalled the letters sent by his brother Chechen in the past. In the letter, Chechen once said that he was serving in a certain unit of the Kingdom Army, and the name of that unit was "Cangkong King Cavalry".

"Changqin, that guy Chechen is actually driving such an amazing thing..." Recalling the scene of the green air cavalry destroying the air pirate ship, Qilin was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself. He secretly guessed that even if the person driving the air cavalry was not good, even Chechen might be. Even if it was not Chechen himself, he was at least a colleague of the "Cangkong King Cavalry". You should know where Chechen was in the royal capital, and asking directly from them was the fastest.

"Hey, don't be stunned. The army is on board the ship to check." Yili's voice interrupted Qilin's thoughts.

At this time, the Kingdom Army, which entered the airship, had taken over all the airships. They had already prepared to encounter fierce resistance from the remaining air pirates, but in fact, the few surviving air pirates from the leader Loki were in a state of inaction. They looked like they had been attacked by some kind of terrifying monster, which was quite miserable. It was easier for the Kingdom Army to catch them than catch chickens. After all the air pirates were arrested, the Kingdom Army turned to check the identity of the passengers - because considering the possibility of air pirates disguised as victims to escape, this was also a necessary measure.

Of course, the injured passengers lying on the deck were also effectively treated. Among the people carried away by stretchers, Qilin found the figure of the noble young master who claimed to be the nephew of the prime minister with a little regret.

Maybe I heard from other passengers that Qilin was violent against the air thieves? Several soldiers who boarded the deck never dared to approach the bow of the ship where Qilin was, but just watched the two of them with vigilant eyes behind, as if they were planning to wait for their boss to deal with the matter.

"...I said, it seems that it is not good to continue like this, right?" Yili smiled bitterly when he noticed this. Although Qilin's very conscious violence does make the soldiers nervous, he is the son of a businessman who has no power. If he is treated as a dangerous person of the same level, it will not be a good thing for him.

"Uh, I'll go over and say hello to them..." Yili said to Qilin. He felt that he had an obligation to tell these soldiers the correct facts before a meaningless misunderstanding arises.

"Okay, let's say goodbye here, I'll go down first." Qilin patted Yili's shoulder, then jumped out of the ship's side.

"Go down? Wait! This is the top of the boat..." Yili couldn't hold Qilin away and watched him jump out of the top of the twenty-meter-high boat. The shocked Yilima chased him down to the side of the boat, and then looked at Qilin stepping on the corners of the boat's hull with a blank and dazed look, and fell to the ground after a few jumps, and turned around and waved his hand at him with ease.

"I can't stand it... Who is this guy..." Yili exhaled and sat down on the ground with a little weak feeling.

However, the next second, accompanied by the surging murderous aura, the sound of swords unsheathed came from behind him. The young businessman's son slowly turned around, raised his hands tremblingly, and looked pale, showing extremely innocent smiles at the soldiers who were eyeing him.
