The three people outside the door had not even knocked on the guest room door. Xiao Ran, who was inside, had already noticed the presence of the three people. He was also a little surprised how these seemingly unrelated people could get involved together and appear at the same time. Outside the door of his guest room, but as for the origins of the three people, it was not difficult for Xiao Ran to guess.
After the door was knocked, Xiao Ran deliberately paused for a few seconds before standing up and walking over to open the door. He looked at the three people outside the door with his glasses on and smiled softly: "I didn't expect it to be so late. There will also be guests who come to display it.”
Jeremiah looked at Xiao Ran and took a step back. Although it was still unclear who Xiao Ran was, he still knew that Princess Euphilia designated Xiao Ran as an exclusive knight, and as a sign of respect for the strong. , although Jeremiah's heart was hot, he still maintained a certain amount of etiquette: "I am Jeremiah Goldbard. I have taken the liberty to come here and I hope Mr. Xiao will not blame us."
Jeremiah spoke, and although Veretta and Lloyd said nothing else, they politely shouted: "Mr. Xiao, good evening."
"Come in." After Xiao Ran said that, he opened the door completely, turned around and walked into the living room of the guest room. Although it was the hotel where Xiao Ran was going to stay, after seeing Euphilia off until he checked into the hotel, there were all of You Philia's attendants made all the arrangements, so the room they lived in was considered a top-notch room in the hotel, and the living room and bedroom were completely separated.
After all three people came in, Veretta who came in last gently closed the door. Xiao Ran did not treat the three people as guests and greeted them this way and that. Instead, he sat directly on the sofa and said casually: "Sit down wherever you like. If you want a drink, there's water on the table. Lloyd, bring two people over here to find out what I want to do at this late hour."
"I didn't bring them, I just wanted to come over and ask about Lancelot." Lloyd shook his head with a smile, and sat on the sofa in the living room with his hands unceremoniously, leisurely Said: "We just happened to have the same purpose, so we came together."
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded: "Okay, Jeremiah, what are you here for?"
Jeremiah was not as casual as Lloyd. His eyes were completely focused on Xiao Ran, as if he was guessing how powerful and terrifying power was hidden in that seemingly ordinary body. When he heard Xiao Ran's words After questioning, he stated the purpose of coming here without hesitation: "Mr. Xiao, how did you do it? How did you do that at that moment without damaging the cockpit?" Under such circumstances, all our bodies in different positions will be destroyed."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows: "That kind of thing is just adding a few more irrelevant operations in an instant. Although it is a little more troublesome than cutting you off from the waist with one knife, it is just casual. It can be done, so this is the purpose of your coming here?"
Jeremiah couldn't understand what Xiao Ran said about being able to do it casually, but he also agreed very much with what Xiao Ran said that it would be simpler to cut off all the bodies directly with one knife. He looked at Xiao Ran with bright eyes. : "No, it's not just that. If possible, I hope Mr. Xiao Ran can teach me how to drive kf."
"Teach you how to drive kf." Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It's not impossible, but why should I do this, and in what capacity do you want to learn from me, or what benefits can I get? I know I should have heard that Princess Euphilia asked me to be her guardian knight, but you should also have heard that I will not do anything I don’t want to do, so don’t try to use anyone’s orders to persuade me. me."
"Jeremiah, I know that you were the border count that Kurovis trusted most before. However, not to mention the assassination of Kurovis, and the zero incident happened later. What happened today is The pure-blood sect wanted to wipe you out to wash away the shame. Although this failed, you will definitely be punished accordingly."
"You, whose prestige has been greatly reduced and may even be held accountable, don't seem to be able to bring me any useful help now, so why should I teach you? What can you give for this? Loyalty? Rights?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and did not continue. Although Jeremiah in front of him was said to be useless in Xiao Ran's mouth, Jeremiah still had many followers and support among the military in District 11. He was born into a famous family, he is also the leader of the pure-blood sect, and he also has good combat power. Although his prestige is greatly reduced and he will be punished, he can still get up again as long as there is a chance. If he can get Jeremy With Asia's allegiance, basically about half of the conventional military forces in District 11 can be directly controlled.
At the same time, Jeremiah can also use his own influence and identity to influence his family, influence other families with good relationships, and make use of the resources of these families. However, the premise of all this is naturally that Jeremiah Ya's sincere loyalty, this guy is good at one thing. Once he is truly loyal to someone, he is definitely a loyal minister who is completely trustworthy. In all aspects, he is much better than the unreliable fool like Suzaku Shumu. .
Jeremiah lowered his head and began to think. Xiao Ran did not have any obligation to teach him to become stronger in kf driving. Such things would be of no use no matter how much he was forced. If he wanted to get it, he would have to pay this amount. Jeremiah should be very clear about this, but as Xiao Ran said, what can he give to Xiao Ran in such a transaction
Jeremiah began to think, but loyalty is definitely not enough. His loyalty will only be dedicated to Butalia and the royal family of Butalia. As for Xiao Ran, he is not a true guardian knight at all. , it is naturally impossible for Jeremiah to dedicate his loyalty to Xiao Ran.
As for rights? What rights can Jeremiah give Xiao Ran? Once Xiao Ran becomes Euphilia's knight, although he does not have any rights himself, he can also be regarded as the implementer of Euphilia's rights. It was really not enough for Xiao Ran.
money? Don't be ridiculous, once you become a knight and you can't get what you want, why do you need money? woman? Jeremiah had never considered this aspect.
Xiao Ran ignored Jeremiah, but looked at Lloyd who was sitting with his eyes narrowed, and asked: "He has already stated his purpose. Now it's your turn. If you still want to ask me about Lan Slott’s opinion, then I can only send you two words, garbage.”
Lloyd was not angry, and he didn't even have the slightest thought of being angry. It was not an exaggeration to call a machine that could not allow the pilot to fully exert its strength to be called a piece of garbage, even if that machine had comprehensive transcendence The crushing performance of regular kf is the same now. At least Xiao Ran can say that Lancelot is garbage, but no one present, including him, can.
Lloyd smiled nonchalantly and said: "Lancelot is of course just a piece of rubbish to Mr. Xiao, but Mr. Xiao, you have never thought about owning a machine that can fully unleash your strength, no? Are you going to let the real body that you regard as garbage come out again?"
"Mr. Xiao can easily modify all the underlying data of Lancelot. I believe that Mr. Xiao must also have a deep understanding of the body. Mr. Xiao, I would like to invite you to join me in modifying Lancelot." Transform or re-create a brand new machine, a super machine that can fully unleash your strength, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Ran glanced at Lloyd. Now it is true that Lloyd wants to get Xiao Ran's help to complete Lancelot. It is also true that he wants to develop a brand new machine with Xiao Ran, but this is only the purpose. , but in the process, Xiao Ran was able to fully cooperate with him to collect more and more data. He also hoped that Xiao Ran could serve as a test pilot for a long time to achieve this goal.
But this is also Xiao Ran's purpose. He wants to rely on Lloyd to help him build a new machine. As long as he can get Lloyd's loyalty in the process, the rest is not that important.
After groaning, Xiao Ran said: "Lancelot is definitely a coveted super machine for ordinary pilots, including Jeremiah standing over there, but for me, it can't be used at all. My strength can be fully utilized, and in my opinion, Lancelot has many problems in its own design. If you want me to cooperate with you to develop a brand new machine, then from the beginning of this plan Most theories of the existing body must be completely overturned and completely redesigned, from the skeleton to the armor to the weapons.”
"I'm not sure you have such an ability. Even if you have such an ability, I'm also looking forward to having a machine that can bring out all my strength. But the time and energy it takes will probably be very scary, and even more so. The key thing is whether you can get such resources, it’s too early to say now.”
As he said this, Xiao Ran raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly in the direction of Jeremiah, while Lloyd's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled: "Indeed, it's too early to say this now. , even Lancelot has not been completely completed, and if I want to develop a brand new body, I really need to achieve some results first, so that I can get more resources."
Lloyd understood Xiao Ran's thoughts and guessed that Xiao Ran was not willing to say anything in front of Jeremiah. He cleverly cooperated with Xiao Ran, but he also began to mutter in his heart: "What does this monster want to say to me alone?" ?”
Xiao Ran was very satisfied with Lloyd's understanding and said: "I also have some good ideas about Lancelot. If we have time, we can talk about it again, but we can only wait until I am officially canonized as a knight."
"Then thank you so much." Lloyd squinted his eyes and smiled, barely reaching a tacit understanding, but Jeremiah had not yet figured out what he was doing. What can you give? Sometimes people like Jeremiah are stubborn and stubborn. If they want to make Jeremiah surrender directly, as long as they don't use geass's ability and just use normal methods, then It still requires some time and means.
Xiao Ran looked at Jeremiah, shook his head and said, "Jeremiah, you are a pure-blood officer, right?"
Jeremiah raised his head: "Yes."
Xiao Ran said: "Then do you know that what Princess Euphilia hopes to achieve is that at least in District 11, both Butarians and people in District 11 can live together and live in harmony, and the pure-blood faction My approach is to always treat non-Butalia people as garbage. As a knight of Princess Euphilia from now on, I will naturally act according to her will. This process may encounter a lot of resistance, but No matter what I encounter, I will kick away all these resistances, and I hope to gather all my strength to assist Princess Euphilia, do you understand what I mean?"
Jeremiah was stunned for a moment, then he laughed at himself and knelt on one knee: "Yes, I understand that two major events that were detrimental to me happened in succession, and I have been ostracized among the pure-blood sect. In their eyes, I am no longer a pure pure-blood sect, I am willing to be loyal to Princess Euphilia and give her all support."
Jeremiah could not be loyal to Xiao Ran personally, but he would be loyal to the royal family and Euphilia, so after Xiao Ran nodded to him, Jeremiah understood what he should do. After all, he was not a fool. It turned out that His backer Kurovis is dead, and many people within the pure-blood faction reject him. It is indeed not a good thing for him to continue to stay in that circle. It is also a good choice to leave that circle and find a new backer.
"You don't have to kneel down to me to guarantee this." Xiao Ran sat on the sofa, motionless and steady as a mountain, and said: "I hope you can remember what you said. From now on, you will be Her Royal Highness Princess Euphilia. The most loyal warrior and leader, after I am officially canonized, I will start teaching you the real driving skills, but not only Princess Euphilia, I also need your loyalty. From today on, you are my disciple. , I will let you know what real power is."
Jeremiah nodded silently, stood up and bent down towards Xiao Ran: "Teacher, I will present the apprenticeship ceremony later."
"Well, go ahead and don't bother me again until the official canonization comes down." Xiao Ran waved his hand, and after Jeremiah responded, he decisively took Veretta out of the guest room, leaving only everyone behind. Xiao Ran and Lloyd had a purpose.
