Chapter 2348 Chapter 2369-2370 Loyal Disciple
The three people outside the door had not yet knocked on the guest room door, but 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 outside his guest room door at the same time. However, as for the origins of the three people, Xiao Ran was not difficult 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 that there would be guests coming to put it up so late."
Jeremiah looked at Xiao Ran and took a step back. Although it is still unclear who Xiao Ran is, Princess Euphemia designated Xiao Ran to become Personal Knight He is still aware of this matter, and as a respect for the strong, Jeremiah, although his heart is hot, still maintains a certain amount of etiquette. "I am Jeremiah Goldbald. I take the liberty to come here and disturb you. I hope Mr. Xiao will not blame us."
Jeremiah spoke, and although Vireta and Lloyd said nothing else, they politely shouted, "Mr. Xiao, good evening."
"Come in." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he opened the door completely and turned around and walked into the living room of the guest room. Although it was the hotel where Xiao Ran wanted to stay, Euphemia's attendants arranged the whole process from the time Euphemia was delivered to the hotel until he checked into the hotel. Therefore, the room he 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, Vireta, who came in last, gently closed the door. Xiao Ran did not treat the three people as guests and greeted each other. Instead, he sat directly on the sofa and said casually, "Sit down wherever you want. If you want to drink water, there is it on the table. Lloyd, it's so late and you brought two people over to find out what I want to do."
"I didn't bring them here. 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 folded unceremoniously. He said leisurely, "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 is not as casual as Lloyd. His eyes are completely focused on Xiao Ran, as if he is guessing how powerful and terrifying power is hidden in that seemingly ordinary body. When he heard Xiao Ran After asked the question, he stated the purpose of coming here without hesitation. "Mr. Xiao, how on earth did you do it? How did you do that action at that moment, destroying all our bodies in different positions without damaging the cockpit."
Xiao Ran's brows raised. "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 a knife, it is just something that can be done casually, so is this 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 machines directly with one knife. He looked at Xiao Ran with piercing 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 how to do it. It's time to hear that Euphemia Princess asked me to do her job of protecting the knight, but you should also be able to hear that I will not do anything I don't want to do, so don't try to use anyone's orders to persuade me."
"Jeremiah, I know you, Earl, the border Earl whom Clovis trusted most before, but something as big as Clovis's assassination happened. Say, ZERO happened again later, and what happened today is that Pure Blood Faction internally wanted to wipe you out to wash away the shame. Although this failed, you will definitely be punished accordingly."
"Your prestige has been greatly reduced and you may even be held accountable. It seems that you can't 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 the Jeremiah in front of him was said to be of no use in Xiao Ran's mouth, Jeremiah still has many followers and supporters in the Area 11 military. He was born into a famous family and is also a Pure Blood Faction The leader of, and also has good combat power. Although his prestige is greatly reduced and he will be punished, he can still get up again quickly as long as there is a chance. If he can get the allegiance of Jeremiah, then basically about half of Area 11's regular Military Strength can be directly held in his hands.
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, but the premise of all this is naturally Jeremiah's sincere loyalty. One thing about this guy is good. 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 Kururugi.
Jeremiah lowered his head and began to think. Xiao Ran really has no obligation to teach him to become stronger in KF driving. Such a thing is of no use no matter how hard he is forced to do it. Jeremiah should also be very clear about the fact that you have to pay to get that, but as Xiao Ran said, what can he pay 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 to the Royal Family of Butalia. As for Xiao Ran, he is not a true guardian knight at all. Jeremiah naturally cannot dedicate his loyalty to Xiao Ran.
As for rights? What rights can Jeremiah give Xiao Ran? Once Xiao Ran becomes the knight of Euphemia, although he does not have any rights, he can also be regarded as the implementer of Euphemia's rights. It is really not enough to give the little rights he has to 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 has never considered this aspect.
Xiao Ran ignored Jeremiah, but looked at Lloyd who was sitting with squinted eyes, and asked, "He has already stated his purpose, and now it's your turn. If you still want to ask me what I think of Lancelot, then I can only send you two words, garbage."
Lloyd was not angry, not even a little bit angry in his heart. It is not an exaggeration to call a machine that cannot allow the pilot to fully exert its strength to be called a piece of garbage. Even if that machine has a crushing performance that completely surpasses the current conventional KF, it is the same. At least Xiao Ran can say that Lancelot is garbage, but no one present, including him, can do it.
Lloyd smiled nonchalantly and said, "Lancelot is of course just a piece of garbage to Mr. Xiao, but Mr. Xiao, haven't you ever thought about having a machine that can fully unleash your strength and not let you come out with a real machine that you regard as garbage?"
"Mr. Xiao can easily modify all the underlying data of Lancelot. I believe that Mr. Xiao must also have a deep understanding of the machine. Mr. Xiao, I would like to invite you to work with me to transform Lancelot, or to 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 help from Xiao Ran to complete Lancelot. It is also true that he wants to develop a brand new body with Xiao Ran, but this is just a goal, but in the process, Xiao Ran can fully cooperate with him to collect more and more data. He also hopes that Xiao Ran can serve as a test pilot for a long time to achieve this goal.
But this is also the purpose of Xiao Ran. He wants to rely on Lloyd to help him build a new body. As long as he can get the loyalty of Lloyd in the process, the other things are not so 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 cannot fully display my strength. In my opinion, there are many problems with the design of Lancelot. If you want me to work with you to develop a brand new body, then from the beginning of this plan, most of the 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 owning a machine that can bring out all my strength. But the time and energy it will consume may be very scary. What's more important is whether you can get such resources. It's too early to say now."
As he spoke, Xiao Ran raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly in the direction of Jeremiah, while Lloyd's eyes flickered slightly and he said with a smile, "Indeed, it is too early to say this now. Even Lancelot has not been completely completed. If I want to develop a new body, I really need to show some results first, so that I can get more resources."
Lloyd understood Xiao Ran's thoughts and guessed that Xiao Ran was unwilling 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. We just have to wait until I am officially canonized as a knight."
"Thank you so much." Lloyd squinted his eyes and smiled, barely reaching a tacit understanding, but Jeremiah hadn't figured out what he could give. Sometimes People like Jeremiah are stubborn and stubborn. If you want to make Jeremiah surrender directly, as long as you don't use GEASS's ability and just use normal methods, it will still take some time and means.
Xiao Ran looked at Jeremiah, shook his head and said, "Jeremiah, you are officer Pure Blood Faction, right?"
Jeremiah raised his head. "Yes."
Xiao Ran said, "Then you know what Euphemia Princess hopes to achieve is that at least in Area 11, Butalia and Area 11 people can live together and live in harmony. However, Pure Blood Faction's approach is to always treat non-Butalia people are treated as garbage, and as Euphemia Princess's knight, 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 all these resistances away, and I hope to gather all my strength to help Euphemia Princess. 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. Among Pure Blood Faction, I have also been ostracized. In their eyes, I am no longer a pure Pure Blood Faction. I am willing to be loyal to Euphemia Princess and give all support to His Highness Princess."
Jeremiah cannot be loyal to Xiao Ran, but he will be loyal to the Royal Family and Euphemia, so after Xiao Ran clicked on him, Jeremiah knew that he should No matter what he did, after all, he was not a fool. His original backer Clovis was dead, and many people within Pure Blood Faction rejected him. It was indeed not a good thing for him to continue to stay in that circle. It was also a good choice to leave that circle and find another backer.
"You don't have to kneel down to me to guarantee this." Xiao Ran sat on the sofa, motionless and as steady as a mountain, and said, "I hope you can remember what you said. From now on, you will be His Highness Euphemia Princess's most loyal warrior and leader., after I am officially canonized, I will start to teach you the real Piloting Skill, but not only Euphemia Princess, I also need your loyalty. From today on, you are my disciple, and 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, don't bother me again until the official canonization comes down." Xiao Ran waved his hand, and Jeremiah responded before decisively taking Vireta out of the guest room, leaving only Xiao Ran and Lloyd, who had their own purposes.
