The Zifeng battleship that Xiao Ran was riding was floating on the sea, and right next to the Zifeng, the Son of Danu, which had hardly changed much, also rose from the sea and appeared on the surface. Until Xiao Ran took Saki, After Yu Jian Mingye, El Elf and a dozen or so people from a landing team left the Zifeng and entered the Son of Danu, the Zifeng slowly took off and once again rushed into the fold channel and disappeared. Without a trace.
The elevator platform of the Son of Danu began to slowly lower, and the deck above Xiao Ran also began to slowly close. As the elevator platform fell, a dozen people from the landing force holding weapons tightened their weapons in their hands, and decisively But it dispersed a little without leaving a trace, and Yu Jian Mingye gently pinched the long sword still in the sheath on his left hand and blocked Xiao Ran's front.
When the elevator gradually returned to its position, Tessa with silver hair slowly appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes. Tessa, who was wearing the captain's uniform, looked much more mature. After all, Xiao Ran had already left this world for two years. Different Despite Leonard's seemingly unchanged appearance, Tessa's body continued to grow with the passage of time.
Beside and behind Tessa, there were also many Sons of Danu members with weapons in their hands. After Xiao Ran appeared in their eyes, they were not too nervous to make any dangerous moves. This also made the guardian The members of the landing force watching Xiao Ran breathed a small sigh of relief.
No one who landed in the conflict would feel scared or worried. The crushing effect brought about by technology was absolutely unsolvable, but it was obvious that the other party had a deep relationship with Xiao Ran and did not want the situation to become more complicated.
The same goes for the people on the Son of Danu. Everything Xiao Ran did two years ago is still like yesterday to them. How much help did he help Mithril? He protected them, led them, and got them. respect, and more importantly, their captain... Ahem, but Xiao Ran suddenly disappeared and then reappeared two years later, with an inexplicable battleship, which brought a layer of mystery to Xiao Ran. .
The atmosphere between the two parties seemed a bit stiff when they met, but Xiao Ran didn't have any consciousness. He smiled at Tessa who was at the front of the Son of Danu crew, raised his hand and said, "Long time no see, Tessa."
"Mr. Xiao Ran... Long time no see..." Tessa looked straight at Xiao Ran with her eyes, pursed her lips, smiled, frowned, and then said calmly and loudly: "Salute! Welcome Mr. Xiao Ran to board the Son of Danu again. "
"Snapped!"
Everyone on the Son of Danu basically obeyed Tessa's orders absolutely, not to mention that the person in front of them was worthy of all the members. All the people put their feet together and raised their right hands, facing the direction of Xiao Ran. salute.
This action also stunned the members of the landing force beside Xiao Ran for a moment, and then they also stood up straight and experienced it. The originally stiff atmosphere between the two parties also softened a lot with this action.
Xiao Ran smiled, raised his hand and then put it down, and slowly walked into Tessa: "Long time no see, everyone, Vice Captain Richard, Andrew, there seem to be a lot of new people on the ship, everyone has changed a lot. Yes, and Tessa, you have matured a lot after two years of not seeing each other."
For Xiao Ran, what happened in this world was not just two years ago, but a long, long time ago. But when he really stepped into this environment, all the memories of what happened in this environment began to slowly fade away. It emerged, allowing him to accurately call out the names of everyone he was familiar with.
Xiao Ran waved his hand and glanced sideways: "When you come to someone else's place, the weapon will be handed over to Mithril's people for safekeeping. Naturally, Mithril's people will be responsible for safety."
The members of the combat team behind nodded, took off the guns from their bodies, and then walked into the Mithril man. They handed over all the weapons they were carrying, of course all of them, at least the ones that could be seen in name. Everything, what can be handed over and what can't be handed over, no one in this group of people is stupid and would really put all their own safety on someone they don't know at all.
Tessa's eyes narrowed slightly, out of laughter. Although there was nothing funny in the current situation, Xiao Ran's words really made Tessa feel happy. At least it meant that Xiao Ran still believed in them as before. .
Tessa took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Ran nervously: "I have prepared tea and snacks. I will let others lead the reception in the lounge. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Xiao Ran turned to the combat troops and nodded: "Don't make embarrassing and rude requests, and don't make misunderstandings."
"Yes, sir."
"Elf, Saki, Mingye, you guys come with me."
The three people whose names were called nodded, and Tessa noticed that Xiao Ran was followed by Al Elf, and she quickly said to Al Elf: "Sorry, Mr. El Elf, I just Notice you."
Elf was as indifferent as ever, shaking his head lightly and not giving any reply.
People on the Mithril side also noticed the long sword held by Yujian Mingye, and were a little confused that in this era, someone would still carry such a long sword with them, and she was still a very childish-looking girl, who was about to prepare When Yu Jian Ming Ye stepped forward to take the sword from Yu Jian Ming Ye's hand in a friendly manner, Yu Jian Ming Ye raised his left hand to hold the sword horizontally, and smiled slightly at the visitor: "Sorry, as a swordsman, I never leave my sword, so this sword I'll keep it to myself, but I can give you this pistol."
"It doesn't matter, let her carry it." Tessa shook her head aside, confirming that Yujian Mingye had the right to carry weapons on the Son of Danu, and then took Xiao Ran and a group of people to the prepared Reception room.
On Xiao Ran's side, there are Elf, Saki, and Yu Jian Mingye. On Tessa's side, there are Andrew, Richard, and Melissa Mao. They are also four people, and they can sit together. Two tables of mahjong were set up, but the actual situation was that Xiao Ran and Tessa sat face to face, while the others stood behind their boss.
After Tessa sat down, she looked at Xiao Ran, and then at the three people standing behind Xiao Ran, especially Saki and Yujian Mingye. She was a little distracted and didn't know what she was thinking. What she originally wanted to say At this time, I had completely forgotten everything.
The three people standing behind Tessa looked at each other in confusion, determined to support their captain who had fallen into some kind of fantasy. Richard coughed slightly and took a step forward: "That … Mr. Xiao Ran, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but he is still as majestic as before. I want to know why Mr. Xiao Ran suddenly appeared after disappearing for two years. Is his visit to Danu’s Son this time for official purposes or mainly for private matters.”
Xiao Ran glanced at Tessa with a smile, shook his head slightly and said to Richard: "If you have to say so, it can be public or private. As for the two years of disappearance, I can't answer your question for the time being. Deputy Richard Captain, as long as you know that my main purpose of coming here this time is also to help you, of course, seeing how Tessa is doing now is also one of my purposes, not just because of me, but another person also cares about Tessa. Condition."
"In addition, I have prepared a gift for you. It will take about an hour or two to prepare. In order to prevent the gift from not being delivered on time, I hope that the Son of Danu can continue to maintain its current position."
"A gift!?" Tessa came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Ran happily: "Is it for me?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, but to be precise, Leonard and I gave the entire mithril to you as the representative."
Tessa raised her hands together with a smile on her face: "I'm looking forward to it, um... Mr. Xiao Ran, has Leonard been with you these two years?"
"Well, he came back with me this time, but because he has other things to deal with, he should meet you in person after a while."
"Let's do this." Xiao Ran looked at Tessa and the four of them, and said: "I'm here for both business and private purposes. Let's talk about old things later. For business, I hope that Mithril can provide us with all the intelligence in the past two years, including but not Information limited to the series of events caused by dimensional beasts also requires all information on all situations, forces, and country changes in this world in the past two years. In exchange, in addition to the gifts I just mentioned, I will also provide Mithril provides strong force support for all its operations."
"At the same time, I also hope to get information about Chidori Kaname's current situation."
Although it has been two years, Tessa's habits and some small movements have not changed at all. After hearing Xiao Ran's words, her mouth bulged, but she soon became serious, and her right hand began to hold her hair and bite it gently. He raised his lower lip and said, "I can give you the information on the dimensional beasts, and I can also give you the information Chidori asked for. After all, with Mr. Elf's ability, it will only take a little time at most to investigate this information."
"Just Mr. Xiao Ran, why do you need the intelligence and information on the world situation?"
"I just need to understand the situation in the past two years and find some interesting news from it. You don't have to worry about what threats I will bring to the world. Dimensional beasts are what you should worry about."
Tessa took a breath, looked at Xiao Ran seriously and said: "Mr. Xiao Ran, because of your sudden appearance and the relationship with the battleship, all countries are now quite vigilant towards you. The world situation is very serious now." Tension, because there has been a lot of chaos in the relationship between dimensional beasts. No one wants to see greater chaos. Mr. Xiao Ran, what is your identity when you appear here this time, and what is behind you? Such a force, and what kind of identity does Mr. Xiao Ran have in this force?"
Xiao Ran looked at Tessa: "Do I need to know all of this?"
Tessa nodded firmly: "At least for me, this is necessary. I want to give myself a reason to continue to trust Mr. Xiao Ran unconditionally."
"Okay." Xiao Ran smiled leisurely and said: "I represent a huge force. From your perspective, this is a cosmic-level force. For the earth, it cannot even reach the planet level. My identity in this force is the biggest boss, and my purpose is just to solve the dimensional beasts that appear on the earth, as well as some situations that are even more unexpected for you."
"I'm going to tell you this now. Maybe it's hard for you to understand what I'm talking about, but it doesn't matter. There will be more opportunities for contact between us in the future. By then you will naturally understand what I'm talking about. What does it mean?"
Tessa was stunned for a moment, and the three people behind her also showed surprised expressions, but then Tessa asked: "So Mr. Xiao Ran came from the universe, and before he came to the earth, he already knew what the earth was facing. Case?"
"I'm a little surprised that you can accept what I said so easily, but at least there shouldn't be any obstacles in the subsequent communication." Xiao Ran smiled and said: "After all, two years have passed. I can't make you trust me unconditionally like you did two years ago. Besides, the timing of my appearance is a bit suspicious. In fact, before I came to Earth, I didn't know what happened to the Earth. I just knew that the Earth might encounter some things. Special situations, it is also our task to deal with these things.”
"There is also Chidori Kaname. Chidori Kaname also has a more special identity as a Whisperer. For the time being, her existence will be very important to me, so I need to confirm her current situation and include her in our power protection. below."
"These are official matters. As for personal matters, Leonard is one of the important reasons. Although he won't say it, he is more worried about your current situation than anyone else and wants to know how you are doing now. As for me, maybe more You might want to come back and have a look."
"We used to be collaborators, and I also hope that we can continue to be collaborators in the days to come. Just like before, both parties can achieve unconditional trust. This is at least good for you and the world. .”
Tessa didn't know if it was a little difficult to accept Xiao Ran's current tone and attitude. It was completely different from the reunion scene she originally thought, so she lowered her head and fell silent.
Seeing Tessa like this, Richard took the initiative to take over the topic: "I can give you the information. We all know Mr. Elf's ability, and the information we want to investigate will definitely be available, even if we don't At most, I will only waste some of your time. But Mr. Xiao Ran, what you just said is indeed a bit... a bit unbelievable. I think we need time to digest what you just said. If all this is Seriously."
"Don't worry, it won't take long for you to believe it." Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "It's actually not a good thing for you to know this so early. I could have appeared on the stage when the earth encountered the worst situation. Your savior, but I don’t want to do that, because Tessa and everyone from Mithril say that we were allies from a distance, and friends from a distance. I hope that each of you can have peace and stability. life."
