After Xiao Ran put on the mask again, Charles also sat on his throne again, looking at Xiao Ran condescendingly. "The canonization of Knights of the Round is not a small matter, becoming Knights of the Round means that you are standing at the location of this country's military system, and it will also be your exclusive right to effectively choose an area, but even so, Knights of the Round is currently the only one who can truly obtain these rights like Bismark."
"I have learned about you from many aspects. Area 11 You have done a very good job. Euphemia was able to stabilize Area 11 so quickly. This is inseparable from your contribution. As for what you want to do in I won't care what Area 11 does, but I won't admit what you do. The lowly NUMBER is not qualified to be compared with the noble Britannia, but if you want to change this entire country, then you have to see how capable you are."
Xiao Ran bowed slightly. "I have never thought about changing the entire Britannia. For Britannia to develop to such a great stage, the existence of NUMBER naturally exists. I will not imagine that I alone can change this country. I don't have the qualifications or the ability, but at least where Area 11 and Princess Euphemia are in charge, I will do my best to help her achieve everything she wants to do. Moreover, a country needs at least one special zone to serve as the hope and pursuit of those NUMBER."
Charles nodded noncommittally and continued the previous topic, "Tomorrow you will be officially canonized as Knights of the Round. At that time, the whole country will notice you, the newly promoted Knights of the Round. Countless people will pay attention to your every move, word and deed. I also think of Bismark. I already know that if you have this strength, I won't mind setting you up as a new benchmark for the empire's bravery, but if you don't have this ability, you'd better leave now and go back to Area 11 to work on your Personal Knight. Tomorrow I will arrange a trial between you and the leader of Crimson Knights. I hope you won't let me down."
There are many profound meanings in Charles's words. The first is to remind Xiao Ran that from now on he has truly entered the empire's sight and will receive attention and surveillance. The second meaning is to tell Xiao Ran to become Knights of the Round He must accept that responsibility, otherwise he will leave immediately, and he will not even be qualified to become Knights of the Round. Third, he will be allowed to fight against the leader of Crimson Knights tomorrow. This seems to be the kind that has actively arranged for him to check and balance the Scarlet Knight, and it will not work if he is not right.
Xiao Ran nodded lightly without any objection and said calmly, "Yes."
Emperor Charles stopped talking and waved his hands slightly to express his meaning very clearly. Xiao Ran and Bismark also bowed slightly and exited the reception hall.
Until he walked out of the building completely and stood under the sunlight that was gradually beginning to slant westward, Bismark patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder. "Okay, take a good rest and adjust after you go back, The leader of Crimson Knights is not a simple character. It will not be easy to defeat him. I will arrange the matter of the machine. Now I will go over to Crimson Knights to discuss it with them. No matter what, I must pluck a machine from their hands and give it to you."
"The place where you live has been arranged. Someone will take you there. A dedicated person will come over later to customize Knights of the Round's uniform for you. By the way, I will also tell you the process of tomorrow's canonization ceremony. If everything goes well, I will contact you later."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded without refusing. After leaving with Bismark, he narrowed his eyes slightly. By this moment, Xiao Ran had already guessed the plans of Charles and Bismark.
Bismark went to Crimson Knights to discuss the aircraft this time. He was not really that kind. It was also an important part of setting him up as a benchmark to check and balance Crimson Knights. As Crimson Knights's opponent, Crimson Knights now became hostile to him.
Xiao Ran even guessed what Bismark would say when he met the leader of Crimson Knights. He probably would not tell the other party that the search and trade of the body was a matter led by Bismark himself and Charles, but They would say that the need for the Crimson Knights body was brought up by Xiao Ran himself, and they might even say that this was the only reward request he made after Xiao Ran was promoted to Knights of the Round, and it was hard for Emperor Charles to refuse.
After that, they were talking to each other and asking for trade and compensation. At this point, it was hard to say whether Crimson Knights would be willing to take out a machine body, but even if he did take out a machine body, it would not be much better. But from Xiao Ran's point of view, Bismark might still be in vain this time, because the final takeover of all this will only be revealed tomorrow.
Once he wins the battle with Crimson Knights, then in the eyes of Charles and Bismark, Lelouch Xiao will have more use value. Only with this strength can he truly become a counterweight to Crimson Knights Code, Charles will be willing to pay for the resources that can satisfy Crimson Knights, and will be willing to take them. After all, for Charles and Bismark, a real strong player has finally emerged from their own country, and no matter how much they invest, it is worth it.
And if not, of course, nothing else will happen. Charles will never waste those resources on a loser like him. In this case, the probability that Bismark will contact Xiao Ran today to say that the machine has been completed will definitely not exceed 10%, and if he wins tomorrow, the probability of getting the machine from Crimson Knights will exceed 80%.
It's just that Xiao Ran doesn't expect to get a suitable machine body from Crimson Knights. It is estimated that at this time, Sakura Stone is needed to unlock more combat power. Crimson Knights doesn't have many machines in his hands, and the general machine body, the sophisticated level Super Robot Mecha Xiao Ran is not very fond of it. Even if he takes out a Upper Fine-grade body, Xiao Ran can only be said to be barely usable. Unless the Scarlet Knight is willing to come up with a higher body than Fine-grade, then Xiao Ran can still be said to be adequate. In short, it is not very suitable for what he uses.
Now Area 11's special agent is working overtime to fix the machine. Variable Fighter had already left Area 11 when Xiao Ran It is already in a final state, and Variable Fighter will be able to complete it in no more than two or three days. By then, whether it is handed over to Saki to use, or Xiao Ran himself uses it from time to time, it will be considered a foundation. This self-protection ability, and once the Variable Fighter is completed, the next new body project will be the most helpful to the Xiao Ran. We don't expect to be able to manufacture a A-class mecha, but at least we can make a B+ class that can be used temporarily. By then, a Quantum Assimilation can also perform performance that is not inferior to the A-class mecha.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran itself is a Solar Furnace. Otherwise, even if A-class mecha was actually produced in this mission, it would be absolutely impossible to create any Solar Furnace, but now, even if the manufactured body does not have Solar Furnace, because of Xiao Ran, it can still display the performance that Solar Furnace body has.
After Bismark left, two young men appeared in front of Xiao Ran. They took Xiao Ran to find Jeremiah and Vireta outside the palace, and then moved directly into the residence next to the palace. Not much After a long time, the people Bismark was talking about came to Xiao Ran's door. They told Xiao Ran about the process and things to pay attention to when canonizing Knights of the Round the next day. They didn't leave Xiao Ran's guest room until before dinner.
There was only one person left, Jeremiah and Vireta were also placed on both sides of Xiao Ran's guest room. Before dinner, Xiao Ran used the phone in the room to contact Xiao Ran when they had nothing to do. Governor's Mansion called Area 11, reported today's situation to Euphemia, responded to Euphemia's concern, said some words casually and then hung up the phone.
After having dinner with Jeremiah and Vireta, Xiao Ran left Jeremiah and Vireta alone and left the place where he lived alone. He wandered around the city with a leisurely look, but at this time Xiao Ran had already taken off his uniform and changed his mask into glasses, so even though it was late and wearing sunglasses, he looked a little strange, but it didn't attract much special attention.
Walking in and out of the streets and alleys of the city, walking around in the lively places, you can't pass the time too quickly. Even very late, the entire country is brightly lit and lively. Compared to Area 11, it is much more popular, and you can feel the bustling atmosphere everywhere.
Crimson Knights station is a small military station that is separately divided for Crimson Knights near the city where the capital is located. There is also a small military station dedicated to Crimson Knights in the station. Type Research Institute, the entire station is quite mysterious to the outside world. Even though most of Crimson Knights members have been dispersed to various front lines War Zone throughout the empire, the station still seems to be bustling with people.
After wandering around the city for a while, Xiao Ran quietly left the city and came to this place. Standing on a high ground about a few kilometers away from Crimson Knights's station, he looked at everything in the station not far away.
From the outside, the entire station is not much different from other normal Britannia Army stations, except that the personnel inside are more scattered, and not even a person on patrol is visible. Apart from this, it is impossible to tell that this station is a military station used by participants.
But precisely because of this, there is no need for any patrol personnel, and it is impossible for any ordinary person to break into this seemingly undefended station, because the methods of the participants are definitely far beyond the imagination of ordinary people in this world. Who knows what kind of messy defense equipment will be arranged in the station.
So even Xiao Ran, at this time, is only watching from a distance and does not impulsively dive in. Instead, he chooses to observe from a distance.
In the entire base, I did not see a single machine that did not belong to this world. Even the low-level machines did not appear. There were only a dozen KFs lined up in the open space outside. It was not clear whether there were Crimson Knights free machines hidden in the hangars inside the base.
In addition to the hangar, there are several buildings in this station. The tallest one is five stories high and obviously serves as the base Command Center. Then there are several small buildings and a mobile three-story white building on the edge.
It took some effort to find Xiao Ran, the residence of Crimson Knights. The process of wandering around the city is not just doing nothing. The real purpose of Xiao Ran coming out to wander around the city is to be able to observe some of this Crimson Knights.
After observing silently for a long time, Xiao Ran knew that it was impossible to gain anything from coming out this time. At least, he could not judge the general strength of Crimson Knights from his current station. After a while, he left the same way and returned to his place of residence.
The next morning, Jeremiah was wearing a clean and tidy uniform, standing straight outside the door and knocking on Xiao Ran's door. Behind him were several people sent by the Royal Family and the military, as well as several maids, carrying large and small bags, waiting for Xiao Ran to open the door.
When Xiao Ran opened the door, everyone outside the door, after seeing Xiao Ran, either gave a military salute to Xiao Ran, or bent down while touching their chests, and at the same time said, "Lord Knight."
"Come in." Xiao Ran glanced at the people standing outside the door, nodded slightly and ordered, then turned around and returned to the room.
When the people outside the door came in, the representative sent by Double Ten, an old man with white hair who looked to be about sixty years old, once again bent towards Xiao Ran: "Master Xiao, I am Belts, Ceremonial Officer of the Imperial Palace. By His Majesty's order, I will stay with you today until the end of the canonization ceremony to guide you on what you need to pay attention to in completing the canonization ceremony."
After speaking, the old man named Belts raised his left hand slightly and said, "This is a representative of the military. I will explain to you later the specific rights and responsibilities that you will exercise after becoming Knights of the Round, and analyze the current situation in each region for you."
"In addition, there are these maids. His Majesty's order is that they belong to you from today on."
Xiao Ran sat on the sofa in the guest room, glanced at Belts, then at the military representative, and finally glanced at the remaining five maids, and nodded lightly. "I understand, thank your Majesty for me, and I want to ask, I remember that Knights of the Round's canonization does not seem to be on such a large scale, right?"
"That's right." Belts nodded and replied, "It's just that the canonization ceremony of Knights of the Round is a little different this time. Your Majesty hopes to boost the current morale through this ceremony, so this ceremony will be publicly broadcast to the entire Britannia area. In addition, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that only victory is allowed and no failure is allowed."
