After staying in the capital for a few days, I cooperated with Lelouch to handle various tasks of European Federation, and then went to Lloyd to have a look. The original Special Envoy Research Institute had been fully upgraded at this time. It has jumped directly from a single research institute to the Mecha Development Department, the largest in the empire today. However, the new site is still under construction and has not been expanded in a practical sense yet. However, it has also received great attention and is responsible for all development projects of the empire's future new machines.
As for Britannia's government affairs, after a few days of assistance, Xiao Ran really realized that Lelouch's lack of ability and understanding in this area, Learning Ability is not slow, but he lacks precipitation and understanding. Fortunately, Schneizel, a guy who has chosen the right side, has been helping Lelouch, so that the empire does not become chaotic due to successive major events.
Lelouch also understood Schneizel's ability and indispensability to the empire. After using GEASS on Schneizel when he was unprepared, he boldly left more state affairs to this guy. He did not realize that Schneizel, who had been tricked, also trusted Lelouch very much. Satisfied, but even more satisfying is that he was finally able to gain the trust and power to let the country develop according to his own wishes and move towards better things step by step. Although he did not become the emperor, Lelouch's restrictions on Schneizel were definitely countless times smaller than those of Charles, which also made Schneizel feel more like a fish in water while being satisfied.
During the time in the capital, Xiao Ran would also take time to accompany Euphemia. This girl had become a little depressed because of Xiao Ran's deception, but her condition now is much better than when the incident happened, but she is not really there yet. It is returning to its original state. As for Cornelia, it is not in the capital now, but is still stationed at Africa. Next, Xiao Ran will be responsible for the land acquisition and control of Ron's legion.
After staying in the capital for several days, Xiao Ran finally couldn't sit still and called C. C in front of him.
When C. C saw Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran was holding a document and looking at it carefully. For this man who seemed to have the whole world in his hands from the beginning, C. C has always been quite wary and guilty. She seemed to be a bit bullied when they got along, but in fact the relationship between the two parties was not bad, and she could also say that she witnessed with her own eyes that this man used a way and strength that made people confused about the situation, and achieved his goal in a way that seemed impossible, which made people feel really incredible.
Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at C. C. who was standing not far in front of him. He put down the document in his hand and showed a quite calm expression. He looked up and down at C. C. with a slight smile and said, "The clothes you are wearing now are quite luxurious. It seems that you are quite adapted to living in this place. It is probably the easiest life you have had in the past hundreds of years. I heard that you will spend a long time with Lelouch every day during my absence?"
C. C acted calm and calm, but when facing Xiao Ran, his heart was definitely not as calm as he was when facing other people. It was as calm as shown on his face. Less than a second passed after Xiao Ran's voice fell, and C. C said, "Lelouch is my contractor after all, and it is normal to have contact with him."
"Don't be nervous. I don't want to say anything. It's your business if you two are willing to contact each other." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "The reason why I called you here is because I want to ask you something. How much do you know about World of C, Ruins scattered around the world, Elevator of Thought inside, and Akasha System?"
After hearing what Xiao Ran said clearly, the expression on C. C's face was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Ran with some suspicion and said with some disbelief, "Your target..."
"I'm just curious about those things, and I don't have the idea of changing the world through that place and system. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I want to go there in person to see and get in touch with something that I think is of some value. If I can have you as a CODE holder to lead the way, I think my journey of contact will be a lot more convenient."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he tapped the document he just put down with his hand and said, "This document is all the intelligence and information on relevant aspects that Charles has collected over the years, in order to detect the specific The locations of Ruins are all marked on it. What I want to know is whether you can enter World of C by just entering an elevator and come into contact with Akasha System, or do you need to find out all the locations in the world to activate it."
C. C's eyes immediately fell on the document that Xiao Ran was pointing at. He turned his head slightly, paused, and then looked at Xiao Ran again. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Xiao Ran said, "I said, it's just out of curiosity. You should know that it is not difficult to rule this world with my power. If this place requires a CODE holder to be activated, then you are not the only CODE holder I know. It's just that I trust it more, and I also think you should trust me."
C. C was a little unconvinced. "Is it as simple as just curiosity?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled and stopped talking. He just looked at C. C and spread his hands, indicating that he had made it very clear.
C. C knows that if Xiao Ran is really curious about the things mentioned before and is ready to take action, no one in the whole world can stop him, not even Lelouch, the supreme ruler in the name of the empire. Someone can stop any action of Xiao Ran, and Lelouch's performance during this period also shows something. Even if Lelouch has the ability, he will not stop Xiao Ran.
C. C and Lelouch spent a lot of time together during the period when Xiao Ran left. C. C wanted to take a close look at Lelouch, a boy with whom he had a deep connection, but he also did not forget to remind Lelouch from time to time to pay attention to Xiao Ran, because Xiao Ran is too mysterious and powerful, I have no idea what his purpose is. A witch like C. C who has lived for hundreds of years may be afraid of Xiao Ran or feel guilty. Naturally, it is normal for her to be careful with Xiao Ran and remind her of her favorite Lelouch.
Knowing that she could not stop him, and that he would eventually be forced and threatened to follow, C. C felt that it was better not to ask for trouble, and if Xiao Ran really had any bad intentions, she could also stop Xiao Ran at the last moment. After a moment of silence, she said to Xiao Ran, "I will cooperate with you."
With C. C's consent, Xiao Ran quickly left the capital with Saki and C. C. Without taking anyone else with him, he quietly went to a Ruins mentioned in the intelligence collected by Charles. As the holder of the CODE, Xiao Ran did not know whether C. C had ever had a He had been to such a place before, but what C. C showed in front of Xiao Ran was familiarity. He passed the passage in Ruins smoothly and took Xiao Ran to the place he wanted to enter. He saw what he wanted to see, but in the end he did nothing and only stayed for a few minutes before choosing to leave.
It's not that Xiao Ran is not interested in these things, but that he got all the answers he wanted. Many of his original thoughts were verified, and it was confirmed that World of C, or Akasha System, is the core of this world. This can be verified by the prompts that came out of his mind.
"Ding, Unit 678, you have come into contact with the only core item in this world, Akasha System."
"The world's only core, special prop - Akasha System: 1. It is a core prop that can only be used once in any Inertial World, Branch World and other similar worlds. In the future, this will be the only core prop in any similar world. The core loses its effectiveness; 2 can be used to completely unlock and activate the GEASS ability obtained in this world, and can give GEASS abilities to others. To completely unlock it, Akasha System needs to be bound. There are currently only two people bound, and the binding method is unknown."
"After you unlock Akasha System and complete all core conditions, you can use it to bind Faction Territory."
This is the tip that Xiao Ran got, and it also pointed out that the GEASS ability that was temporarily obtained before needs to rely on this thing to be completely unlocked and become a permanent ability, but Xiao Ran did not There were people like Ron who operated and fumbled randomly when they accidentally came into contact with the 'door', so they didn't see any extraordinary phantoms, such as the figure that appeared in Ron's mind.
The content of the hints received was not too much, but for Xiao Ran, having such content made him fully understand all the causes and consequences. The meaning of all the contents was very clear. It was not like Ron only got a vague hint, but relied on everything he knew to come up with the most correct answer in the shortest time.
Akasha System, this is the control system of World C. Being able to control the entire World of C is equivalent to being able to influence and change the entire real world. It can be said that as long as you master this thing, you will master the world. It is not surprising at all to be counted as the core.
However, only CODE holders can control and use Akasha System. The number two currently bound in the prompt refers to the two current CODE holders, one is C. C who is currently beside Xiao Ran, and the other is V. V who is sealed.
Originally, Xiao Ran had no interest in this world, because he felt that the development level of this world was too low, and only places like World of C that integrated world consciousness were of some value. Xiao Ran wanted to get in touch with World of C, but also wanted to see about the nature of this world, and see if World of C could bring any help and changes to him.
But what I never expected was that after coming into contact with these, the tips given by Prometheus were a bit unexpected. World of C and Akasha System, as the only core of the world, did not just make people This world has a 100% possibility of becoming Faction Territory. What's more important is that this thing can actually give others the ability of GEASS, and it seems to be a permanent ability, not a temporary ability that can only be used during this mission.
So the value of this world has far exceeded Xiao Ran's initial expectations, and has almost reached the same level as the original SEED World. Although GEASS's abilities are all mental, they are equivalent to a mental ability, bloodline or skills, and the help they bring is not small depending on the ability, such as King's Power, memory modification, pause Or acceleration time, etc. Although it is not clear how many people can be given at most, after all, these are not clear before Akasha System is completely controlled, but it is also equivalent to obtaining this thing, which will give all Burning Legion members one more choice in bloodline and ability, and change the direction so that this world can become an unlimited bloodline production place. In this case, the value will of course become more valuable.
After walking out of Ruins, Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then took out the communication and contacted the capital. After waiting for a while, Suzaku Kururugi, Jeremiah, Vireta The three newly promoted Knights of the Round,, appeared in front of Xiao Ran with an independent team, and also brought a huge ball that was taller than a person, and C. C was very familiar with this ball.
After everyone put the ball in place and all the soldiers and the three Knights of the Round spread out to surround it, Xiao Ran slowly approached and opened the ball, revealing a young man with long blond hair and wearing a bondage uniform. This man was another V. V with CODE ability. Although he only looked like a boy, he was actually quite old, and he was the brother of the previous emperor Charles.
Jeremiah and the others saw that the child was exposed inside the ball. Their faces were more or less surprised, but no one spoke and adhered to their mission.
After taking one look at V. V Xiao Ran, he lost interest and turned directly to Saki: "Saki, kill him."
"Yeah." Saki would not refuse Xiao Ran's orders at all. Saki knew better about Xiao Ran's character. When facing those Native inhabitants in battle, he would rarely kill them ruthlessly, even if they were enemies, so Xiao Ran is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Although this kid looks like this, Saki knows the inside story. Although he doesn't know why Xiao Ran wants to kill this person himself, he still walks over decisively and prepares to kill V. V with a pistol.
"Wait, use the knife." Xiao Ran suddenly raised his hand and looked at Jeremiah. The latter quickly took his saber from his waist and threw it to Saki. Saki did not hesitate to pull out the sword and swung it, directly cutting off the stunned V. V who was unable to make any sound because his mouth was covered.
The holder of CODE can only be killed by those with GEASS ability. Xiao Ran obtained temporary GEASS ability. Of course Saki also obtained this ability from C. C. Even if it is only temporary, it is still GEASS. It is easy to kill V. V who has no resistance.
After V. V's head and body were separated, Saki, who was wielding the sword, paused obviously. After almost a few seconds, he turned to look at Xiao Ran and smiled, "I have obtained the CODE."
