"It's been investigated." Cornelia first raised her hand to greet the female soldier on the plane, then said to Sei Itō. Then she ordered the female soldier who came to the two, "Go get the information and prepare a glass of red wine for me."
"Yes, your highness." The female soldier responded, then turned and walked to the service desk at the back of the plane.
"Thank you." Sei Itō nodded and thanked her.
After a while, the female soldier who was ordered by Cornelia returned with a tray. She leaned over and handed a stack of papers to Cornelia, but Cornelia didn't take it. Instead, she directly motioned for Sei Itō to take it.
"This is the information about those people." Cornelia took the red wine from the female soldier, took a small sip, and said, "But in addition to Lakshata Chala, who is one of the more famous scientists in the Empire, Earl Royd Ashbrud and Cecil Kermi recently transferred from a research lab to the Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department, responsible for the development and application of new airframes. One thing worth noting is that although the Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department is under the name of Clovis, its actual leader is Schonetzel. As for the little girl named Nina Einstein, she is currently studying at Ashford Academy in District 11 under the jurisdiction of Clovis. She is now in her first year of high school. "
Sei Itō listened to Cornelia's simple explanation while browsing the information in his hand. A moment later, he closed the information book in his hand with the name, age, nationality, file records from birth until now, the information obtained from the investigation, and the analysis report. He asked, "Can I see Lakshata Chala immediately after I get off the plane?"
"Yes," Cornelia said.
"Good, after getting off the plane, ask someone to send me directly to the meeting place." Sei Itō waved his hand and stored the information into the space. His body leaned back on the chair, his hands clasped on his abdomen, and he closed his eyes.
Cornelia, who had long been used to Sei Itō's method of collecting things out of thin air, wasn't surprised at all. She just nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, the two people in the cockpit fell into silence.
After about five hours of flight, the plane finally landed in the international airport of the capital of Britannia Empire. After exchanging some pleasantries with the officials who came to greet them, the group finally got into the car that was used to pick up Cornelia and the others. They then turned around and drove towards the palace.
"Mulder. Send Sei Itō to the agreed meeting place. "On the way, Cornelia said to a young knight sitting in the passenger seat.
"Yes, my lord," replied the young knight.
Subsequently. The high-speed motorcade gradually slowed down and stopped at the side of the road. Then, Sei Itō and the young knight named Marde got off Cornelia's car one after another, exchanging places with the two people in the other car. Then, he turned the car around and drove directly into a fork in the road, speeding off into the distance.
"Let's go." Cornelia ordered the driver in front of her after Sei Itō's car drove away.
"Yes, my lord," replied the driver in the driver's seat. Then, the motorcade began to move again. They continued to head towards the palace.
About an hour later, Sei Itō's car stopped in front of a three-story clubhouse. Then, Sei Itō got out of the car and was led by Marde into the luxurious hall. They took the elevator to the second floor and stopped in front of a brown wooden door.
"Bang bang bang!" Marde stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A somewhat lazy female voice sounded from behind the door.
After receiving permission, Marde immediately opened the door and let Sei Itō in. Then, he closed the door with his hand. Like a bodyguard, he stood guard at the door.
"Bang!" The sound of the door closing suddenly sounded. Sei Itō, who was sizing up the room, came back to his senses. After discovering that Marde didn't follow him in, he slowly walked out of the entrance and into the room.
In an instant, he saw a woman wearing purple trousers, a short red shirt that exposed her navel, and a white coat. She had a head of long blonde hair and her skin was the color of chocolate. Itosei saw a woman with a blue water droplet pattern on her forehead. She was lying on the sofa and smoking with a long pipe in one hand.
"You're the one who contacted me through the higher-ups of the army?" Lakshata exhaled a puff of white smoke. She sized up Sei Itō who walked in from the entrance and asked.
"That's right." Sei Itō nodded. Seeing that Lakshata had no intention of getting up to greet him, he turned around and sat down at a nearby table.
Lakshata's gaze followed Sei Itō's movements. After Sei Itō sat down, she said, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"I admire your ability and want you to work for me." Ito Sei reached out and took the transparent teapot that had been kept warm on the small fire rack on the table. He poured black tea into the porcelain teacup and said straightforwardly.
"Oh?" Lakshata put the pipe in her mouth and quietly waited for Sei Itō to continue.
"I can provide you with all the funds and equipment you need for your research institute." Sei Itō put the teapot back on the fire rack and picked up the porcelain teacup as he spoke to Lakshata.
"Some ambitious people can do that too," Lakshata said nonchalantly.
"I promise I won't interfere with any of your research," Sei Itō said again as he moved the teacup away from his mouth.
"That's the most basic guarantee," Lakshata added.
"You can have your own research rights. You can start any research you want," Sei Itō said as he put the porcelain teacup back on the table.
"Oh?" Lakshata looked at Sei Itō in surprise and asked with interest, "Really?"
"Of course," Sei Itō said confidently.
"What's the price?" Lakshata put her legs down from the sofa and propped herself up with one hand on the side of the sofa. Then, he crossed one leg over the other and leaned his body against the sofa behind him as he said, "Don't worry.
"All of your research results will be exclusive to me," Sei Itō said as he stared into Lakshata's eyes.
"Your request is too harsh," Lakshata said with a frown. Lakshata didn't care about getting all of her research results, but she couldn't accept the word "any" in Sei Itō's words. It should be noted that the final product was not the only thing obtained in a research and development process. During the research and development process, there would often be additional technologies, and these additional technologies could often be related to other things. If even these additional technologies were monopolized, then how could one continue to do research in the future? How could one still make money from their own research?
"Then please state a condition you can accept," Sei Itō gestured to Lakshata.
"I'll have full rights to the related technologies obtained during the research process. I'll have half of the patent rights to the final product." Lakshata tapped the tobacco pipe in his hand on the soles of his feet to get rid of the ash inside.
"Hmm, that's not impossible, but you'll have to be responsible for building your own research team. I won't provide anyone for you," Sei Itō said. Sei Itō couldn't help but be secretly happy. "I don't have anyone to provide you with in this world. Unless you enter the Rubik's cube world, I'd rather you find someone yourself. When the time comes, as long as I catch you, I'll have another batch of excellent researchers. It's all worth it. "
Lakshata raised her eyebrows and looked at Sei Itō strangely. This was different from the people she had worked with before. Which of her previous collaborators didn't try to stuff people into the research team? They wanted the entire research team to be made up of their people. But Sei Itō didn't want anyone. This made Lakshata, who was used to the impure research team, feel uncomfortable. But she still nodded. "Okay!"
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Sei Itō reached for the transparent teapot on the fire rack and filled a ceramic cup with black tea again. Then, he put the teapot back on the fire rack and walked to Lakshata with two cups of black tea on the table. He handed one of the cups to Lakshata and said.
"Happy cooperation." Lakshata reached out to take the black tea from Sei Itō and gently touched Sei Itō's teacup.
After the two exchanged drinks with tea, Sei Itō took out a piece of paper with the phone number in this world that he asked Cornelia to prepare for him in EU. He handed it to Lakshata and said, "This is my phone number. Call me when you're ready. I'll come and pick you up."
"Okay." Lakshata reached out to take the piece of paper. She casually glanced at it and put it in the pocket of her white coat.
"I look forward to hearing from you." Sei Itō shook hands with Lakshata, turned around, and walked out of the room. He met up with Marde, who had been waiting outside the door. He went downstairs, restarted the car, and drove to Cornelia's mansion outside the palace.
"What a strange guy." Lakshata, who watched Sei Itō leave from behind the window, muttered to herself. Then, she took out a red flip phone the size of a palm and made a call.
"Beep … Beep … Beep!"
"Big Sister." A female voice came from the phone.
"Tell them there's work to do." Lakshata just said one sentence into the phone, then hung up the phone and turned around to leave the room.
After about half an hour of travel, the car finally arrived in front of a luxurious manor. After passing the inspection of the guards, it drove straight into the manor.
