Endless Silver Machine

"Wei Xi, have you thought of any solution?"

This is what Aika, who is at a loss, wants to hear most right now.

"My barrier range can protect the airship from being affected by the external environment..."

"Can something like this be done?"

Is the barrier a universal magic? It's incredible.

"But if it takes more than one minute, I might not be able to hold on... If I can't get under the clouds and land within one minute, the possibility of crashing will be very high..."

Aika was silent.

The one-minute limit is too harsh for an airship that cannot be operated by hand. At this speed, if it wanted to descend within a minute, it would only be able to completely destroy the drive device at the rear of the airship.

"Aika, Master Weixi, are you okay?"

The girl who left earlier returned to the cab, followed by a strange girl. Her heterochromatic eyes leave a deep impression on people at first sight.

"Wei Xi has a proposal," Aika looked embarrassed, "but it's a bit difficult to implement."

"Are you the third princess?"

Wei Xi and Aika have completely different concerns.

"Eh... Your Highness Princess?!"

"Brother Aika, didn't you notice at all?"

Aika then focused on the strange girl, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the bodyguard of the third princess of the Bis Empire, Charlotte Ezein. This is the third princess of the Bis Empire - Lan Ming Yiela."

"This is our first meeting." Lan Ming put his hands in front of him, "I have heard rumors about you two at Shuoyue Academy. On behalf of the Bisi Empire, I would like to express my gratitude to you two."

"No no, this is just what we should do."

Aika quickly returned the gift. What should be the etiquette when facing a princess? Aika asked Wei Xi for help out of the corner of her eye. She just stared at Her Highness the Princess blankly, not noticing Aika's eyes at all.

"I'm actually not that rigid about my identity. I just want to be able to get along with each other as friends."

Her Royal Highness the Princess laughed.

"That would also help me a lot."

Hearing what she said, Aika raised his head and said casually.

"Brother Aika!"

Wei Xi scolded him with her eyes for speaking too carelessly. Aika, who was relaxed for a moment, secretly screamed that it was bad and looked at the princess cautiously.

She still had the same smile as before.

"Sister Wei Xi, although we have not met directly, I have heard a lot about you."

"Um……"

"After the matter is over, I hope we can have a good communication."

This sentence was said to two people.

I received an implicit invitation from Her Highness the Princess, so I just agreed first. Aika thinks so.

"What is Master Wei Xi's method that you mentioned just now?"

Charlotte asked the two of them, letting the airship land safely is the top priority.

"If you use a barrier to protect the aircraft, it can survive the blizzard, but it must land on the ground within a minute."

"This is a bit troublesome. If you rush directly into the blizzard, it won't take a minute to fall; if you use Master Wei Xi's method, one minute is too short..."

Charlotte immediately discovered the difficulty of this method, and she looked at Wei Xi who lowered her head in shame.

"Is it okay if I stop the drive system to speed up the descent?"

Although Lan Ming's idea is very bold, it is indeed feasible under the current situation.

"The airship's drive system is on the bottom floor of the entire airship, and the entrance should be in the warehouse cabin at the tail. But if you want to stop the drive system, you need the correct password..."

"You know so much about airships," Charlotte looked at Aika who was talking curiously, "Aren't you only in the first grade?"

"Because I have a friend who is very familiar with this, haha..."

"Really? If there is no password, we can only destroy it by force." Charlotte didn't pay attention to Aika's prevarication, "Then who will go?"

Wei Xi is the central figure in this plan, so she must stay in the cab. If two people are needed, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Charlotte should be more suitable...

"The protection of the drive system should be very tight. If the attack power is not enough, it may not be destroyed. That magic tool of yours looks very powerful. It even exploded the isolation door. It should be able to be used, right?"

"It should be no problem..."

"I'll go too."

Lan Ming volunteered to take a step forward.

"your Highness?"

"Charlotte is better suited to protect Miss Wei Xi here than me. And if the prisoner sees me going to the back, he will no longer focus on you, so Miss Wei Xi can better maintain her attention."

"Isn't this just treating you as bait? It's too dangerous!" Hearing Lan Ming's plan, Charlotte shook her head desperately, holding Lan Ming's arm and refusing to let go, "If I want to use it as bait, , it should be me..."

"I'm not alone. Didn't he protect the brave men of Shigetsutsu Academy? If he is here, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"It's a big problem..."

The fourth level of monsters required a team of national magicians to completely defeat them, but the three students Aika, Wei Xi and Lilith did it together. No one knows what happened in Wei Xi's "domain" except the three people inside. The strongest barrier master in the former Holy See and the only natural elf user from Frost Moon Academy were involved. This result seems to be inevitable, and it does not explain how powerful Aika himself is.

Moreover, Charlotte and Aika had only known each other for less than half an hour. It was nonsense to entrust the protection of the princess who represented a country to him.

No less than ten objections came to Charlotte's mind in an instant.

"That's it, let's go first!"

While Xia Luo was still struggling in his heart, Lan Ming quietly pulled out his grasped arm and walked toward the cab. He kept turning his head to signal Aika to follow him quickly.

"Then..." Aika glanced at Charlotte, who had a stiff face, in embarrassment, "I will go there with Her Royal Highness first, and I will pay attention to the escort task."

"Isn't this nonsense! If something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, just wait for Lady Wei Xi to collect the body for you!"

"I do not want it!"

"Master Wei Xi, calm down, it was just a joke..."

Charlotte quickly turned around to comfort Wei Xi who raised her voice in excitement. Aika quickly left the cockpit while her attention was diverted from herself.

Lan Ming was waiting for him in the compartment.

"Have you convinced Charlotte?"

"Judging from her appearance, she must have agreed..."

"I'll apologize to Charlotte later. In order to prove that my choice is not wrong, you must serve as my knight." Lan Ming winked cutely at Aika, "Ai, Ka, classmate, student ."

"Okay, okay!"

Feeling that the distance between the two people was suddenly shortened, Aika straightened her back.

Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly showed a side of her classmate, causing him to immediately lose his pretense of poise.

Lan Ming looked at the panicked Aika, covered his mouth and snickered.

"I have already said that you can treat me as a friend, but you are so serious that it makes me feel a little unnatural."

"Excuse me……"

"Just treat me like Miss Wei Xi."

"Sorry, I can't think of you as Wei Xi."

Aika cannot accept Lan Ming's suggestion.

"Why? Because I'm older than her? Or because my personality is different?"

"Not for this reason." Aika shook his head, "It would be rude to you and Wei Xi to treat Her Royal Highness as someone else. Therefore, I hope to become friends with Lan Ming Yiela. "

Lan Ming looked at Aika blankly, and finally understood what he wanted to express.

"You are really troublesome..." She shook her head helplessly, with an approving smile on her face, "But I'm not annoying."

…………

There was no sound of whistling wind coming from the window in the cockpit, thanks to Charlotte blocking the broken window with something that could be moved and used in the cabin.

"Lord Wei Xi, is this okay?"

She patted the dust on her hands and clothes and confirmed with Wei Xi, who was standing there blankly and not moving.

"Uh-huh……"

"Great, so I won't be disturbed."

"that……"

"What's wrong, Master Wei Xi?"

She looked at Wei Xi with expectant eyes, and being able to help Wei Xi seemed to make her very satisfied.

But Wei Xi did not have a task to give to Xia Luo, but wanted to confirm the doubts she had had since the meeting.

"Why...call me that?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No... that... have we met before this?"

"No, because Master Wei Xi has never been to the castle."

"That……"

"I admire Lord Weixi because you are a role model for knights."

"..."

"When I was still a trainee knight, the names of Master Wei Xi and Master Liuyin had already spread throughout the Imperial Knight Academy. They are the youngest blue knights in the Holy See, but they are more powerful than all the full-time knights. It is because I look forward to you that I have persisted until now."

Speaking of such a thing in front of his idol, Charlotte's face turned red, like a girl in love, completely unable to see the majesty of a knight.

When Wei Xi was told this, she also started to squirm, covering up her shyness with her hanging bangs.

"Why would Her Royal Highness come to take this kind of airship? When traveling, the empire's magic ship should be safer, right?"

In order to eliminate this awkward silence, Wei Xi changed the topic.

"There's nothing you can do about it."

"Ah, don't force it if it's not convenient for you to say it..."

"Now that the identity has been exposed, it is no longer a secret." Charlotte waved her hand as if giving up, "It's not all because of the suggestion of the old guys in the Senate that the princess travel disguised as a civilian, and the reserve personnel Take the empire's magic ship to divert the attention of those who are planning to threaten Her Royal Highness. Although I know it is a trap, I have to jump into it..."

Wei Xi was speechless for a moment. It is not unusual for forces to fight within the royal family, and she knows it very well. But after experiencing it myself, I realized how stressful and painful it can be.

It can be said that Wei Xi and Aika were innocently involved in this dispute. But she couldn't get angry at all. Instead, she felt heartache. He is not part of their world, and has only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. Still, she was breathless.

"If Princess Lan Ming doesn't agree, the guys will ask Princess Zi Ming to attend in her place. In order to protect her sister, Princess Lan Ming accepted this task. I thought that I could at least accompany her until the end, so I convinced her The Senate boarded the airship together as an escort. This is what a knight should do."

Charlotte was ready to die, and there was no trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Will not!"

There was no cowardice in Wei Xi's tone as before, and the young knight made a promise to his juniors.

"I will never let this be the last!"
