Euphemia sent an invitation to Xiao Ran to become Personal Knight, and Xiao Ran finally chose to agree. This matter seems to have been arranged. Basically, there is not much suspense about Xiao Ran becoming a Euphemia knight.
But it seems that the two of them simply decided on this matter with an invitation and an agreement, but in fact, there are still many things and troubles that need to be resolved from the beginning to the final confirmation of the result. Although Euphemia has the right to designate his own guardian knight, but Third Princess is also the most powerful country in the world. Having an extra guardian knight around him is not a small thing for Butalia Royal Family.
Of course, most of these troubles will not eventually fall on Euphemia's shoulders, but if Xiao Ran wants to truly become a Euphemia guardian knight, he still needs to go through a process, such as various examinations to check Xiao Ran's physical condition and whether What problems does Xiao Ran have? Check Xiao Ran's background to ensure that it will not pose a threat to Euphemia and Butalia. We also need to assess Xiao Ran's abilities in all aspects to determine whether Xiao Ran truly has the ability to become a guardian knight, etc.
And often for the Butalia royal family, the guardian knight has a special meaning for every Royal Family member. People of the same sex may only have a simple superior-subordinate relationship, but if the master and slave are of the opposite sex, most of them will also have special feelings other than superiors and subordinates. This is also an unspoken rule recognized in the royal family.
For example, if a prince chooses a woman to become a guardian knight, then this woman will almost certainly eventually become a member of the prince's harem. On the other hand, Xiao Ran becomes Euphemia's knight, and in the future There is no doubt that the man Euphemia will have the most contact with is Xiao Ran, so to some extent, some people can also assume Xiao Ran's future identity. After all, fairy tales of princesses and knights also exist in this world.
Of course, it does not rule out that there is a pure superior-subordinate relationship between masters and subordinates of the opposite sex, but it at least shows that Xiao Ran is at least qualified to become Euphemia's bedside partner and obtain the status of a member of the royal family. This alone may of course require strict investigation and review of every Personal Knight.
On that day, after Xiao Ran sent Euphemia back as a reserve knight, he was not able to move into the embassy where Euphemia currently lives because of Euphemia's invitation., after all, the current Xiao Ran can only be regarded as a commoner. He has not even joined Britannia Army before. Before the official canonization, there is basically not much possibility to get along with Euphemia alone.
And Xiao Ran did not return to the temporary residence where Saki and C. C currently lived. Instead, he stayed directly in a hotel near the embassy. He did not even go back to the house he had just rented for less than a day. Everything seemed as calm as nothing happened.
But Xiao Ran can be sure that Euphemia, who returned to the embassy, must have informed the royal family or Butalia about Personal Knight. In the next day or perhaps a few days, there will definitely be a lot of people investigating his identity. Between him and Euphemia, there will definitely be many people who can't sleep at night because of this.
Xiao Ran also wants to get it. Even if someone investigates at most, they can only investigate his current superficial identity. Lelouch Xiao's identity, not to mention that this identity is so perfect that no one can find any flaws, but this identity is Area 11 is also considered a big boss. The consul in charge of the military and legal affairs here personally assigned the identity to Xiao Ran. The apparent relationship is still the nephew of the consul who has been influenced by Xiao Ran.
Not only that, the guy who was given the consul code name by Xiao Ran used his rights to add an extra layer of protection to Xiao Ran's apparent identity, packaging Xiao Ran as an intelligence agent, and most of the information was made top secret or deleted, not to mention It is said that Xiao Ran started to improve his information as soon as he checked into the hotel. Therefore, even if someone investigates Lelouch Xiao's information, they will stop because of this confidentiality level. At most, they will go to the consul to inquire in person. Even if there are some flaws in the process, it will not be that important.
In the end, I will still choose to believe the identity of Xiao Ran. He is a confidential intelligence officer of the empire and the nephew of a high-ranking official and nobleman. If I can't believe such an identity, then I really don't know who I can trust anymore.
Just when Xiao Ran checked into the hotel, just before Xiao Ran drove Lancelot and chopped down several KFs in the abandoned stadium. At this time, the lights were bright. After Euphemia and Xiao Ran left, a lot of equipment was transported by trucks. The lights surrounded the surroundings and illuminated the stadium like daylight.
The special department led by Lloyd was scattered around Lancelot, either inspecting Lancelot, or conducting the most careful investigation and study of the aircraft that fell on the ground and the traces on the ground. The pilots of the KF units that were defeated by Xiao Ran also led a group of subordinates to nest here.
Even Jeremiah, who was besieged at that time, was also among them. He and his subordinate, a female pilot named Vireta, were also surveying the scene of the battle. They no longer had the life-and-death conflict with the others in the evening. They were seriously restoring the situation with the others.
After several busy hours, Lloyd, Jeremiah and others also collected all the information, integrated the traces of the scene and the data on Lancelot's backstage truck, and finally drew a relatively simple analysis video.
In the video, Lancelot rushes towards the stadium from a distance at a very fast speed. Not only did all the ruins and obstacles along the way not slow down Lancelot's speed, but they also used some springboard-like places to slow down Lancelot's speed. The speed increased again, and after three consecutive jumps, Lancelot crossed the auditorium of the stadium. He drew his sword while falling from the sky, landed and turned around. The two High-Vibration Longsword drew a beautiful and coherent arc. They only turned around twice and then put away the sword and stood up.
After watching the video drawn by the computer, Lloyd squinted his eyes slightly. Jeremiah, a famous aristocrat who also played a large role in the plot of Lelouch, also had a look of astonishment. It seemed that he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, which slowed down the situation at that time.
Others who also saw this scene had almost similar expressions to Jeremiah, but one person shook his head and said in disbelief, "How could it be so simple, just a few actions to destroy all our bodies? I admit that just now The individual is very strong, but how can it be possible to cut off the limbs of all our machines at the same time with two sword turns? It must be because of that machine, Lloyd, is that Lancelot equipped with any special weapons?"
"The most powerful weapons on that machine are the two high-vibration sabers. Although it is theoretically impossible to do such a thing, this is the result I recovered based on the intelligence feedback from Lancelot and the on-site survey. And that is exactly what happened. It only took almost a second or two for the other party to destroy all of your machines. Can't you accept the fact that this happened to you?"
Lloyd glanced at the speaker with a smile, but his heart was full of disdain. In Lloyd's eyes, although these guys have pure blood, noble status, and more or less strength, their strength is not at all It's worth mentioning, otherwise, how could he not find these people as test pilots for the Lancelot he developed? He only knows how to maintain his proud blood, but his ability is a mess. Apart from internal fighting, there is really nothing worthy of praise.
Lloyd walked to the computer and sat down, tapping the keyboard to bring up a picture. It was the picture of several scrapped KFs surrounding Lancelot, and said, "This is the final result, the picture of the parts scattered after your body was destroyed."
"We import the data just now, build a new model, and then backtrack in reverse."
As the voice of Lloyd fell, the picture on the screen began to change again. Based on a picture of Lancelot towering, many KF heads, footsteps, and arms were destroyed and scattered with light spots and lines. The phantom that appeared began to move slowly, and finally it was like going back in time to reorganize several KFs, one kneeling and several standing around. After this picture appeared, several bright curves and one or two lightning-like lines also appeared on the screen.
"The picture that appears now is pieced together from all the data. The key is the operational data of Lancelot. During this process, although the positions of the aircraft you each drive are different, the angles are different, and the actions are different, Lancelot only performs a total of I made three attacks, and the last one was a backhand slash while retracting the sword. Although even I couldn't understand how it was possible to slice all the machines moving at different angles into sticks at this moment, I couldn't deny this in the face of the facts, so I drew the most likely attack route."
"During the first attack, the legs and heads of all of your machines were actually destroyed. In the second attack, everyone's arms were severed except for Jeremiah's machine. In the third attack, the arms of Jeremiah's machine were cut off by the way."
Jeremiah stared blankly at the picture on the screen and murmured, "Monster..."
"That's right, I agree with you." Lloyd took a rare look at Jeremiah, squinted his eyes and said, "That person is simply scarier than a monster. Although that Lancelot has the absolute performance to completely crush the current KF, even with that The machine body cannot match the movements of that monster at all. The performance of the machine body is squeezed to the extreme. You can hear the moans and twists of the Lancelot when you move it. It is the scene you just saw. In such a short time, the Lancelot needs to be renovated and repaired from beginning to end."
"Except for Outer Armor, all parts of the body have been damaged by force. If we keep fighting with such intensity, Lancelot will turn into a pile of scrap metal like the surroundings in just a few minutes. Compared to you who can't even squeeze out the full performance of the KF that I regard as garbage, compared to that monster, haha..."
Jeremiah took a deep breath. "Even if we have ten times or a hundred times more people, that person can completely defeat us all before Lancelot collapses, because in his eyes, we are just like weeds that can be harvested at will. There is no difference at all to him between being able to destroy several machines with one swing and destroying dozens of machines with one swing."
After saying that, Jeremiah decisively turned around and walked away. Vireta, who had been standing behind Jeremiah, watched Jeremiah leave and quickly shouted, "Jeremiah, where are you going!?"
Jeremiah kept walking and said in a deep voice, "I want to find that person. I want to ask him personally how he did the previous battle. If you just look at the restored screen now, you won't know anything. I want him to teach me how to drive KF. I want to pay back all the humiliation ZERO brought me."
After hearing what Jeremiah said, Lloyd's eyes flashed and he quickly stood up from the chair. "Cecil, I leave this to you, keep everything intact. Take them all back and put them in their current positions. These things are of great research value. Don't make a mistake. Jeremiah, I'll go with you. I also have many questions that I want to discuss with that guy."
Lloyd quickly followed Jeremiah. Vireta looked at the pilots with complicated expressions around them, shook his head and quickly chased after me. "Wait for me."
Xiao Ran doesn't know that Lloyd and others are currently restoring the previous battle process in the gymnasium, but even if they knew, they wouldn't care at all. Even if they can rely on Lancelot and the traces of the scene to restore the short moment at that time So what about the process in time? What everyone can see is just an external performance. Even if 10,000 people come to watch it, no one will be able to copy Xiao Ran's movements. The level difference and special abilities of pilots cannot be learned and compensated by just looking at it.
Lloyd and Jeremiah are true action figures. After finding the location of Xiao Ran, they drove all the way to the hotel. Regardless of what time it was and whether Xiao Ran had rested, they stood outside the door of Xiao Ran's room and knocked on the door decisively.
