After a simple breakfast, they met up with Knight Marde, who was already waiting for them in the hall on the first floor. Then, they got into Cook's car and set out on their journey. Since their objective this time was to collect supplies, unlike the factories and employees, they only needed to drop off Sei Itō at their destination and wait for him to come back in ten minutes before leaving. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about the disappearance of the entire building or a large number of people, so they didn't have to worry too much.
Thus, they continued on their journey to the imperial capital. Along the way, they passed by more than thirty cities, emptying more than a hundred warehouses and obtaining all kinds of supplies. Like a swarm of locusts, they finally arrived at the capital after four days. However, because the route along the way was too clear, unlike the factory that had no destination at all. Therefore, when the car drove into the Imperial Capital, they immediately noticed the difference in the city's environment.
In the sky, several helicopters were circling and patrolling. On the ground, there were policemen and soldiers checking every intersection. The pedestrians in the city had uneasy looks on their faces as they hurriedly carried large and small bags to their homes.
Okay. The soldiers at the checkpoint saluted to Cook and signaled the policemen to let them pass.
It seems that the things Cornelia prepared won't be easy to take. Sei Itō muttered to himself as he looked out the window.
After passing through the checkpoint, the car quickly arrived in front of Cornelia's mansion and stopped in front of the house's main entrance.
Creak. Bang. Sei Itō opened the car door and got out. Then, he closed the door behind him.
Oh, you're here. After entering the room, Sei Itō greeted Cornelia who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Don't you think you have something to explain to me? Cornelia raised her head and stared at Sei Itō.
Oh? Do you think I have to explain to you? Sei Itō sat down on the sofa opposite Cornelia, crossed his legs, and said with a frivolous smile.
Cornelia was speechless. Indeed, he didn't have to explain to her what he was doing. He did not have the right to make the other party explain. Although all the information and transportation for this operation were provided by his side, the other party was the one who carried it out in the end. But Sei Itō had gone too far this time. When Cornelia saw Sei Itō, the first thing she wanted to do was to denounce Sei Itō and forget the key point.
Now, I need you to do one last thing for me. Once I'm done, I'll leave the capital of Britannia and go to Area 11. Out of sight, out of mind. What do you think about being a princess? Sei Itō leaned to the right and rested his elbow on the sofa's armrest. He clenched his fist and rested it on his cheek as he looked at the speechless Cornelia.
What is it? Cornelia frowned. Since he had already done so many things, one more wouldn't make a difference. Just think of it as a favor. When she needs Sei Itō in the future, it will be hard for him to refuse.
Give me an identity and prepare a room for me in Area 11. The location is right next to Seudafeld's house. Then prepare a large laboratory for me in Area 11. Add a full set of equipment for radiation experiments and take a building nearby for me to live in as an experimenter. Three days later, send me and Lakshata's experimental team to Area 11. That's all. Sei Itō said calmly.
Okay. Cornelia heaved a sigh of relief. She said.
That's good. I won't bother you. Sei Itō saw that Cornelia agreed and didn't mention the materials in the warehouse. He got up and walked directly to the room arranged for him on the second floor.
Beep … Beep … As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, Sei Itō took out his mobile phone and dialed.
Hello. After a while, the phone was connected, and then Lakshata's voice came from the receiver.
Three days later, we will leave for Area 11. Tell your men not to run around in the next two days. I will call you on the day of departure. Sei Itō said as he walked to the bed.
Okay, as long as your equipment is in place. It doesn't matter where you go. Lakshata said.
Ha, that's not bad. If there is a chance, I will take you to a magical place. Sei Itō sat down on the edge of the bed and opened the laptop on the bedside table with a smile.
Oh? Lakshata's interest was piqued by Sei Itō.
You will know when the time comes. Sei Itō, who was sitting on the bed, smiled mysteriously, then hung up the phone and threw it on the bed next to him. Then he controlled the mouse on the laptop and clicked on an online game client to play.
I'm afraid it won't be up to you. Sei Itō quickly entered the account and password, thinking unscrupulously.
Midnight …
Knock knock knock. Sei Itō's door was knocked.
Come in. Sei Itō, who was half lying on the bed and typing on the laptop on his lap, said.
Creak. Then the door was opened. Liz, who was wearing a maid uniform, walked in and said to Sei Itō, Sir, Her Highness asked me to give you this.
Then she walked to the bed and put a folded piece of paper on the small cabinet beside Sei Itō's bed.
Oh? Sei Itō looked at the maid Liz with a puzzled expression. He picked up the paper and opened it. Then an address and a string of numbers appeared on the paper.
Did Cornelia say anything when she gave it to you? Sei Itō was puzzled by the content of the paper, so he asked the maid for some clues.
No. Liz shook her head.
Okay, you can leave now. Ito Sei looked at the note in his hand again and turned to Rize and said.
Yes. Liz received the order and left the room.
If he wanted to understand what was written on the paper, he could only go to the address on the paper. After Liz left, Sei Itō shook his hand and broke the paper. He got up and put his phone in his pocket, picked up his coat, and walked out of the room. Then he left Cornelia's mansion without stopping. He stopped a TXI far away from the mansion and drove to the address on the paper.
The traffic in the middle of the night was very smooth. The speed of the car could be increased to a relatively safe speed. In a flash, the TXI smoothly arrived at the destination.
This is the warehouse area. Sei Itō paid the fare and looked at the dozens of huge warehouses in front of him. Then, Sei Itō, who already knew the meaning of the note Cornelia gave him, slowly walked to the front door of the warehouse, avoided the sight of the camera, and jumped over the wall. Then he walked to the warehouse that matched the number on the paper and entered the password on the electronic lock next to the door. With a short beep, the warehouse door slowly rose up. A burst of cold air flowed out from the gap of the warehouse door.
When the door rose up to the height of half a person, Sei Itō bent down and walked in. In an instant, a large amount of frozen meat, vegetables, and fruits appeared in front of Sei Itō.
[How thoughtful.] Sei Itō looked at the things in the warehouse and nodded to himself. [When Lakshata develops something good, I'll give Cornelia a share. Her efforts won't be in vain.] [Yes, there's also Nina's research results.]
After thinking, Sei Itō stood up and quickly opened a black hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. He transferred everything in front of him into the Rubik's Cube world.
In two or three minutes, the warehouse was cleaned up. Then, he turned around and moved to the other warehouses. After more than 20 minutes, Zhang Tie had cleaned up all the warehouses written by Cornelia. Then, he directly destroyed the doors of the other warehouses and transferred all the items inside into the Rubik's Cube world. After that, he jumped over the wall of the warehouse, stopped a TXI at the other end of the road, and rushed back to Cornelia's mansion.
The next day, after breakfast.
[This is the ID you asked for.] Cornelia threw a two-inch photo of Sei Itō without a hat on the table in front of Sei Itō and said.
[Let me see …] Sei Itō picked up the document and looked at it. [Sei Itō, male, nineteen years old, Chinese Federation immigrant …]
There wasn't much information, so Sei Itō finished reading it in a few glances. He raised the document in his hand with satisfaction and thanked her.
[I've already asked my subordinates to prepare a house for you. I believe you can move in when you arrive in Area 11. The laboratory and house will be ready by then. You can let your people move in and start working immediately.] Cornelia said.
[As expected of the Empress, she's fast.] Sei Itō praised, [When the time comes, I'll provide you with the results as soon as possible. Your help won't be in vain.]
[Thank you very much.] Cornelia said indifferently. She didn't think so much, but it was a pleasant surprise to get Sei Itō's promise. She didn't let her efforts go to waste. A faint smile appeared on her face.
Two days passed peacefully like this. In the morning, Sei Itō talked to Lakshata on the phone. After confirming the meeting place, he took a large bus prepared by Cornelia and went to the meeting place with Sei Itō's old acquaintance, Knight Marde. They picked up more than thirty young men and women led by Lakshata who had been waiting there for a long time. Then they drove to a military airport on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital and took a transport plane to Area 11.
Of course, Marde, who was accompanying Sei Itō, also took the plane to Area 11.
About five hours later, the plane landed smoothly in Area 11's former Tokyo International Airport. Then Knight Marde, who was the liaison, quickly contacted Cornelia's subordinates in Area 11. About ten minutes later, Sei Itō and his group got on the large bus and drove to the laboratory and residential area that had already been prepared.
