That night, Qilin naturally lived in the Duke's Mansion, but the soft velvet bed made him uncomfortable in sleeping, so he woke up early in the morning.

Having said that, the coarse cloth dressed from Dahuang Village was forcibly collected by Nuoyin last night. On the desk, Nuoyin chose a noble casual clothing for him. This casual clothing was made of black, and the cuffs and collar were hot with gold edges. It also showed a noble atmosphere while showing a stern and murderous aura. Although Qilin was not used to the touch of silk, it was quite fond of the style of the clothes, and it did not affect the activity at all under the proper cutting.

When Qilin changed into this casual suit and walked out of the room, the sun had just revealed a shadow from the clouds in the sky. The crisp chirping of birds came from the nearby courtyard. In addition to a few early servants, the Duke's Mansion was also immersed in a lazy atmosphere. Because Nuoyin said yesterday that he would go to the base to handle military affairs in the morning and introduce his family to Qilin when he came back later, so Qilin actually had nothing to do today, but he was not worried about spending time. Yesterday, he took a brief look and found that the area of ​​the Duke's Mansion was really amazing. As a place of adventure, it was enough to spend a day.

Not far along the trail, Qilin found a very open courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by blooming cherry trees, and there was a clear pond in the center. Several koi carp swimming leisurely inside, and the eyes were filled with pleasing scenery, which made him stunned for a moment. Then Qilin walked to the pond and washed his face with clear pond water. Several fat koi strongly stimulated his appetite. However, considering the trouble of setting fire early in the morning, he temporarily pressed his predation.

After washing his face, Qilin left the pond and came to the open ground in the courtyard. As he adjusted his breathing rhythm, his body naturally entered the peak state of ready-to-run.

Since he was three years old, Qilin developed the habit of dancing with chickens. This is because the Great Wilderness Village in his hometown is located in the "unable zone" where monsters are rampant. If he didn't practice protective martial arts since childhood, it would be impossible to survive in the "unable zone". On the way to the capital, Qilin spent three days on the airship, but because there was no practice venue on the airship, Qilin was actually holding back his breath. Although the battle with the air thief gave him a channel to exaggerate, the process was almost one-sided and there was no pleasure in defeating the monsters at all.

So now, Qilin has poured all the accumulated depression energy into his fists and feet, and has practiced the martial arts passed down from generation to generation in Dahuang Village. It should be noted that because the airflow energy scattered in the atmosphere has the characteristics of high, thick, low and thinness, fighting on the ground is mainly composed of cold weapons such as swords. But for Dahuang Village, which has always been poor, a better sword is basically a family of three for half a year's living expenses. Moreover, with the iron-bone monsters in the "unable zone" as the opponent, the loss rate of the sword is astonishing. So later, the people in Dahuang Village simply gave up using weapons and used pure body to fight against monsters.

During the hundreds of years of fighting against monsters, the martial arts of Dahuang Village gradually formed its own strong style. For example, in order to exert the destructive power that can kill monsters with one blow, Dahuang martial arts basically abandoned the attack movements mainly above limbs and instead used more powerful lower limbs to give the opponent a fatal blow. The attacker at the lower plate is called "Earth Tooth", and the attacker at the upper plate is called "Sky Tooth", and the "Sky Tooth Break" used by the Kirin on the airship is the derivative technique of "Sky Tooth". The skeleton of the airship is destroyed in just one blow. If its power is used on the human body, the result will naturally be self-evident.

The Dahuang martial arts mainly attack the lower limbs, while the upper limbs mainly play a role in defense. In addition to effectively resisting the attack of monsters, it is not difficult to break sharp weapons such as swords with empty hands. If you practice "qi" to a higher level, you can even use the unique skill of "sealing acupoints". It is a technique of using "qi" to block the opponent's meridians. Qilin has seen the elders in the village easily use this trick to easily settle several giant monsters, but he has not yet practiced to that level.

Among the younger generation in the village, Qilin is one of the best. No matter how many monsters on the ground, he has the confidence to win the battle - but the thief is an exception.

Faced with these opponents who were flying high in the sky and were unable to reach their fists and feet, the only thing he could do was to use the light skills he had practiced to escape faster. Looking back at the incident when he encountered the air pirate yesterday, Qilin's pace and breathing were a little disordered. At that time, he easily settled the air pirates boarding the ship, and even captured their leaders as prisoners, but he still had no choice but to use the air pirate ship in the sky. If Nuoyin had not rushed to rescue him in time, he would have turned into a fireball with the air craft.

"It's not possible..." Qilin kicked out angrily. With a crisp "pop", the foot wind that shot out in a spiral shape imprinted deep footprints on the opposite wall.

"This won't work at all!" Qilin roared as if he was venting his anger, and also stopped moving.

The warriors on the ground and the sky pirates in the sky have been at completely different levels from the beginning. If he continues like this, he will have no way to take the sky pirates. To defeat the sky pirates, Qilin urgently needs a tool, a tool that can make him stand at the same level as the sky pirates. Before yesterday, Qilin didn't know what the tool he was looking for, but now as soon as he closes his eyes, his mind is filled with the blue sky riding, silhouettes that cross the sky with an extremely elegant posture.

Qilin suddenly reached his hand to his head, and what he saw was the boundless sky. His "bang" heart beat him extremely convinced that it was what he had longed for and pursued.

A pair of wings that can take him to fly to the vast new world.

………………………………………

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Just as the Qilin was immersed in the violent touch, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him.

Qilin lowered his head awkwardly and saw a little girl appearing at him three steps away from the left, giving him curious eyes.

"Uh..." A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Qilin's forehead. While he was ashamed of letting others get close to such a distance, he quietly looked at the little girl in front of him.

The little girl is about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a white dress with lace edges, and is petite like a doll. The little girl has one light green hair that reminds of spring buds, and the other green hair is braided into two delicate braids, which are like the ears of a small animal, giving people a very cute feeling. Her delicate appearance has a few freckles, but it does not damage her cuteness, and makes people feel like a girl next door. On her face, Qilin was a little surprised to see Nuoyin's face and couldn't help but have a question of "Is it the child of Nuoyin and Chechen" in an instant.

(No, it is impossible...) Qilin shook his head and tried to calm himself down. (Nuoyin has only been married for a year, right? How could he have a teenage daughter? Then she is...Nuoyin's sister?)

Qilin looked at the little girl again, and when he noticed the green eyes that were almost exactly the same as Nuo Yin, he became more and more sure of his guess.

"Big Brother?" the little girl held a puzzled look at his reaction. "What are you doing?"

"Uh, I'm... looking at the weather!" Qilin said nonsense. "The weather is good today, there is no wind or rain, it's a good day to go out for fun!... Then again, little sister, who are you?"

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

Under the gaze of Qilin, the little girl took a step back, lifted the corners of her skirts on both sides with her hands, and gave him a little lady's greeting with a well-trained and elegant movement.

"For the first time we met, my name is Charlotte, and I am the youngest daughter of Duke Iserre. What about the name of my elder brother?"

(Well, so... so dazzling...) The little lady's words and actions seemed to exude some kind of nobility that was out of reach. The Qilin from the countryside was shaken so hard that she could hardly open her eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, sorted out the wrinkled clothes on his body, and then coughed lightly to introduce to Charlotte.

"Well! My name is Qilin, I am...Nuoyin's guest."

"Sister's guest?" Charlotte let out a small scream and turned around the Qilin twice, his eyes flashing with interesting gaze. "It's so strange. My sister has never brought a boy back to her home... Big brother, what is your relationship with my sister?"

"Uh, what's the relationship..." The little lady in front of her seemed to have a terrifying insight beyond her age. When she asked the point in one sentence, Qilin couldn't help but feel a little afraid and confused at the same time. Although she could just introduce it directly, "I'm talking about your sister's brother-in-law", can the little lady in front of her understand the complex causes and conditions included in it? Moreover, it seems a little shameless...

Just when Qilin was worried without permission, Charlotte, who was carefully looking at him, suddenly clapped his hands and told him about his identity first. "Ah, I understand! Are you brother Chechen's brother?"

"What..." Qilin looked at the little lady with a look of surprise. "How did you... know?"

"Because the eldest brother and Brother Che Chen look very similar! They are both black hair and dark eyes. Moreover, I have seen Brother Che Chen practice martial arts, just like the ones they just now." Charlotte raised his head proudly. "Right?"

"Yes...yes...yes...no, I'm too surprised! You're so smart, Charlotte!" Qilin sincerely praised the little lady, and at the same time sighed in his heart. Whether it's Nuoyin or Charlotte in front of him, after meeting them, he always felt that his previous understanding of women seemed to have fundamentally wrong in some places. But I don't know whether it's all the women in Linger City, or whether the daughters of the Iserre family are special.

"Hmm!" Charlotte, who was praised by Qilin, raised his chest hard, then pulled Lin Lin's hand and begged: "That, big brother, can I call you Qilin?"

The look of concern appeared in the eyes of those little animals, and Charlotte's expression seemed to be worried that his request would be rejected by Qilin.

"Yes...yes, then I'll call you Charlotte, right?" Qilin nodded, and felt a little fever on his face. Apart from his elder brother Chechen, he had no other brothers and sisters, so whether it was the older No Yin or the younger Charlotte, he always felt a sense of restraint when he was with them.

"Well! Brother Qilin! Brother Qilin! You haven't visited the Duke's Mansion yet?" Charlotte happily took Qilin's hand and volunteered to be his guide. "Sister Nuoyin is not here now, can I take you around, okay?"

Seeing Charlotte's cute look, Qilin couldn't help but smile and nodded naturally, "Well, then please."

So in the following time, Charlotte began to pull him around the Duke's Mansion.

Listening to Charlotte's introduction, Qilin realized that the Duke's Mansion was larger than he thought. The place he lived last night was a guest room for entertaining guests, including the courtyard where he practiced martial arts, which actually only accounted for a very small area in the Duke's Mansion. The most majestic building in the Duke's Mansion was the main house where the Duke lived, which was also the place where Noin and Charlotte lived. On the west side of the main house was the residence of retainers and servants, and there were many functional facilities such as warehouses, playgrounds, and kitchens. In terms of scale, it may not be inferior to a small town. However, the one that interested Qilin the most was the apron located in the northeast corner of the Duke's Mansion.

The so-called tarmac is where the airship takes off and lands and berths are. Although the apron of the Duke's Mansion is not as large as the air force base, it is enough to accommodate the takeoff and landing of medium-sized airships. Kirin saw a small ornate airship on the apron. The hull of the airship was engraved with the Iserre family's emblem. Without Charlotte's introduction, he also knew that it was the Duke's private airship. Because the use and maintenance of the airship consumed a lot of resources, owning a private airship also reflected from the side that the Duke's heritage was quite profound.

Next to the apron, Kirin also found a small separate hangar, but the door of the hangar was locked. He asked Charlotte, but even Charlotte didn't know what was inside.

"...It's so tight." Qilin tried to pull the iron door, but the iron door didn't move at all. He looked at Charlotte curiously. "Charlotte, can't you open this door?"

"Well, Charlotte hasn't been here, I'm sorry..." Qilin just asked casually, but Charlotte showed a very sorry expression, lowered his head and played with the corner of his skirt, looking at Qilin uneasy. "However, my sister may have the key to open the door... If I wait for my sister to come back, Charlotte will ask her again, okay?"

"Don't take it to heart, I'll just ask casually." Qilin chuckled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to rub the little lady's hair.

"Um... um..." Charlotte giggled as he touched his hair with rubbish, then suddenly stopped, blushed and whispered: "Brother Qilin, you are still a little different from Brother Chechen..."

"Oh? Where is the difference?" Qilin said curiously.

"Um... um..." Charlotte tried hard to sort out his feelings and said slowly: "Well, Brother Chechen has never touched my head... When he was with his sister, he never laughed like you..."

"Is that guy's face is very thin, maybe he's just shy." Qilin shrugged, but frowned in his heart.

Even though there is a good woman like Nuoyin by his side, and with a well-behaved sister like Charlotte, what else is there to be dissatisfied with Chechen? Even if there is any reason, like suddenly leaving his wife and leaving him... Qilin really doesn't understand Chechen's approach, but it is not suitable to tell him in front of Charlotte.

"After that, isn't it time for lunch yet?" Qilin patted his stomach as if he was about to change the topic, complaining exaggeratedly. "I've been shopping at the Duke's house for a morning, and my stomach was already so hungry that I could swallow a whole cow. Where is Charlotte?"

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

Charlotte's embarrassing look seemed more awkward than usual. Qilin couldn't help but want to tease her again, but at this moment, there were rapid footsteps behind her. A maid was searching for Charlotte's name while shouting Charlotte's name.

"Miss! So you are here!" Seeing Charlotte wave, the maid ran over in a panic. She looked at Qilin first, then leaned down and whispered something in Charlotte's ear.

"... Looking for Brother Qilin?" Charlotte showed a surprised expression, then nodded to the maid. "Okay, I understand. I will tell Brother Qilin, you can go and do it first."

After the maid stepped down, Charlotte turned to look at Qilin and said carefully: "That, Qilin brother, there are guests coming to find you, waiting outside the mansion. Do you want to see him?"
