In order to let Ryuga believe what he said, Earnest even took Ryuga to the palace treasury where the Teigu was kept.
The treasury was indeed empty.
"At present, there are many rebels in the country, so the Teigu stored in the palace basically have owners, there is no empty Teigu." The minister said.
Ryuga was not disappointed. Reaching a 'friendly' exchange and cooperation with Earnest was the biggest purpose of his trip. If he could achieve this purpose, it was enough for the time being.
After all, he was the actual ruler of this empire. As long as he was controlled, it was already the biggest gain, but he also needed to pay attention to maintain a degree. No matter whether he had hidden Teigu secretly or not, if he could maintain the harmony on the surface, he would try to maintain it, and try not to push him too hard.
Once he offended him, the minister could not escape death, but it was difficult for Ryuga to find a qualified tool.
Moreover, he also expected this situation, so he proposed to the minister that he wanted to be the captain of the guard team in the capital.
The captain of the guard team was not a very high official title, but he commanded a whole guard team. Whether it was to find the Teigu user or to collect the intelligence of the capital, it was the best choice for Ryuga.
"It makes sense."
Ryuga nodded calmly and then continued: "In this case, I have the last request, please rest assured, it is very simple …"
… …
The next morning.
Ryuga took the transfer order signed by the minister personally and came to the headquarters of the guard team in the capital.
"Gather! Gather! "
After showing the transfer order to a few of the garrison members, the entire headquarters immediately rang the bell to gather all the members in the headquarters to meet their new superiors.
There were close to a thousand people in the garrison and they were scattered throughout the streets of the Imperial Capital. Whether it was the noble district where the rich gathered or the slums where the poor were everywhere, they could be seen everywhere. There were not many members left at the headquarters.
"Hello, sir!"
Dozens of members in armor gathered on the playground, raised their hands and saluted, saying hello to Ryuga.
Most of them were sizing up Liu Xia either openly or secretly. A small portion of them had different expressions when they saw his seemingly weak appearance. Some frowned slightly, while others had expressions of disdain and disdain.
Ryuga did not care about the eyes of those people. Anyway, these people were all tools in his eyes. His eyes glanced over everyone, and finally stopped on a girl in a white exercise suit.
It was a girl with long orange ponytail and a very cute face. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. There were a lot of sweat stains on her exercise suit. It seemed that she should still be working hard before gathering.
The reason why Ryuga noticed her was that a strange creature in black and white was standing at her feet.
The shape was similar to a dog, only the height of the girl's calf. It was very human-like standing up. Its body was pure white, its ears were black. It wore a collar on its neck, and the rope of the collar was held by the girl.
Although it seemed that she was walking the dog, if someone saw that the dog also followed the girl and raised her hand to salute Ryuga, they would never think so.
"Are you a Teigu user?"
Ryuga's eyes ignored a group of extras and gathered on the girl with orange hair. He hid his indifferent eyes under the glasses and asked.
"Yes, captain!"
The girl with orange hair responded very seriously. Her words were full of energy. It seemed that her physique was also quite good. Under the gaze of Ryuga, she bent down and picked up the black and white puppy, and introduced it to Ryuga.
"This child is called Demon Beast Transformation: Hundred-Armed Titan. It is a biological Teigu. Its name is Coco. It is a very reliable companion."
Demon Beast Transformation: Hundred-Armed Titan.
That was a Teigu that was also recorded in the Teigu Illustrated Handbook. It was said that it was a kind of biological Teigu. When fighting, its body would become very big and powerful.
And most of the biological Teigu had a strong regenerative ability. As long as the core was not destroyed, it could continue to regenerate. As a bodyguard, it was quite troublesome.
But in other words, as long as the core was destroyed, no matter how strong it was, even if the body was not damaged at all, it would inevitably die directly.
"You come with me, others are dismissed."
Liu Xia nodded and said something to the girl. Then, she turned around and left the field.
… …
"What's your name?"
In the office of the captain of the guards, Ryuga sat at the table and asked the girl standing opposite him.
"Yes, my name is Selu, Selu Eubikitas!"
The orange-haired girl stood upright and replied to Liu Xia with a serious expression.
Her posture was not so much a member of the guards, but a soldier in the army. She had a completely different aura from other guards, which made people obviously feel that she was not an ordinary person.
"Selu, I heard that the former captain of the guards was killed by the thieves named [Night Raid], right?"
Ryuga nodded and then asked her thoughtfully.
"… Yes."
When talking about the cause of death of the former captain, Selu's look obviously became depressed. Even, her face seemed to be completely occupied by hatred. She almost gritted her teeth and said.
"Just two nights ago, Master Oka was found dead in the alley by the team members. Although master was not a Teigu user, he was also very strong. Ordinary people can't kill him."
Selu lowered her head, even her shoulders were shaking. "Master … is a very kind person. He often accompanies me and everyone in the team to exercise. Master is like a family to me … But, he was killed by the thieves of [Night Raid] …"
After all, he was the former captain. It was normal to have people who respected and admired him in the guards.
Especially Selu, if Ryuga was the former captain, he would never let go of the opportunity to draw Selu who was a Teigu user. He would definitely show his most intimate side in front of her. In this way, this Teigu user would become his capital to do whatever he wanted.
Before coming here, Ryuga also secretly inquired about the information about the former captain and [Night Raid].
So he didn't believe too much about Selu's statement.
"How much do you know about [Night Raid]?"
Ryuga continued to ask Selu.
"Does it mean that the captain is going to fight against [Night Raid]?"
Selu's eyes immediately brightened when she heard the words. The sadness and hatred on her face quickly faded. She looked at Ryuga with expectation. At first glance, she even looked a little cute.
"By the way, is that why the minister sent you here personally? You must be here to deal with [Night Raid], right? "
The orange-haired girl's eyes brightened, even the dog-shaped Teigu at her feet also waved its forelimbs happily.
"If there is a chance, I will definitely fight against [Night Raid]."
Ryuga crossed his hands and supported his chin. He hid his gaze under the glasses, and a polite smile appeared on his face.
