The transport truck stopped in front of a warehouse area on the periphery of the Tokyo Concession in Area 11.
"Wait here for a moment." Karin pushed the door open and got out of the transport truck, then turned to the driver inside and said. Then, without waiting for the driver to answer, she quickly ran into the warehouse area and disappeared.
A moment later, he ran out with a group of men and women dressed in black knight uniforms. They went straight to the front of the transport truck and lifted the large gray canvas covering the cargo, revealing the Red Lotus Second Style inside.
"Wow, it looks great." One of the men with a red headband on his forehead put his hands on his waist and said.
"Karin, where did you get this Mech?" The mature Shan Yu asked a more core question.
"I'll explain it to you later. Now help me move the Mech inside." Karin shook her head and said to Shan Yu.
"Okay." Shan Yu nodded, then turned to the people behind him and waved. "Come on, everyone, let's move the things inside …"
"Yes." The others responded, then quickly ran to the transport truck and began to move.
After a while, the Red Lotus Two was unloaded from the transport truck and moved to the forklift taken from the warehouse. Then, under the operation of a member of the Black Knights, it was transported into the warehouse.
"Thank you." Karin walked to the driver's seat and thanked the driver inside.
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. There's still work to be done in the laboratory. "The driver smiled at Karin.
"Okay, goodbye." Karin nodded and waved her hand to close the door. She watched the transport truck start the engine and turn around to leave the warehouse area.
The next day was Sunday. During the holidays at Ashford Academy, Sei Itō, who was cultivating in his room, was called to Ashford Academy by a phone call …
"President, what's the matter? You didn't even call me to come to school on the weekend." In the activity room of the Student Union, Sei Itō sat on a chair and looked at Mi Lei, who was sitting at the table with her back to him, and teased. Not far away, Nina was still sitting in front of the computer, studying physics.
"Hey, what do you think the social status of the dean's granddaughter is?" Mi Lei put her hands on the table. She stretched her legs back and forth alternately and asked.
Sei Itō thought for a moment and said, "If she's just the Dean's granddaughter, her social status is just so-so."
"What is that?" Mi Lei asked.
"Much stronger than ordinary people. It's much worse than the rich. The rest is up to you, "Ito Sei said truthfully.
"Sigh, I knew it." Mi Lei sighed and jumped off the table. She pulled over a chair and sat down. She crossed her left leg over her right leg and rested her elbow on the table. She looked at Sei Itō and said, "Well, what do you think I should do to improve my social status?"
"Say, Guild Leader, you didn't call me here just to ask about these unimportant things, right?" Sei Itō asked Mi Lei in surprise.
"Sigh." Mi Lei's hand, which was supporting her chin, leaned on the table and sighed loudly.
"Guild Leader, don't make yourself sound like a resentful housewife. If you have something to say, just say it. If I can help you, I'll definitely help you. " Ito Sei felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard Mi Lei's deliberate sigh. He quickly said.
"Really?" Mi Lei was shocked and asked.
"Yes. Tell me, what can make our optimistic Guild Leader Mi Lei like this?" Sei Itō nodded and said.
"With your help, it shouldn't be a problem." Mi Lei sat up straight. She clenched her right fist and knocked on her left palm. She smiled happily and said, "You know my family, right?"
"The Ashford Family. The family that was in charge of the production and research of knightmare when Queen Mariana was alive. However, after Queen Mariana passed away, the other royal families took back the production and research rights of knightmare. We only kept an honorary title, "Sei Itō said.
"You know it well." Mi Lei glanced at Sei Itō and said, "Recently, because of grandpa's health, my mother is worried that the family will completely decline after grandpa passes away. She's arranging blind dates for me, but I don't want to become a victim of a political marriage. So I want to ask if you have any ideas. "
After listening to Mi Lei's narration, how could he not understand the hidden meaning behind her words? It was nothing more than discovering his relationship with Cornelia and Euphemia during the river mouth incident. She just saw a turning point. Ito Sei looked up at Mirei and said, "You should know the situation of your family. You used to be loyal to Princess Mariana. Once Queen Mariana was loyal to Queen Mariana and fully controlled the production and research of knightmare with her support. If you want to rise again and extend your tentacles into the knightmare industry again, you can't just find a new person to be loyal to. Moreover, as the Goddess of War, Cornelia doesn't have much say in knightmare matters. After all, these things are now in Schonetzel's hands. So other than finding someone to marry now, it seems like there really isn't any way to escape the fate of a political marriage. "
"It still doesn't work?" Mi Lei said dejectedly.
"By the way, do you know who your blind date is?" Sei Itō looked at the gloomy Mi Lei and asked.
"I think it's an Earl from the Guide Technology Department, called …" Mi Lei said.
"Royd Asbrud," Sei Itō finished.
"Yes, that's him. You know him?" Mi Lei looked at Sei Itō in surprise.
"If it's him, you don't have to worry too much about the marriage." Sei Itō chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Mi Lei hurriedly asked.
"From what I know, Royd Asbrud is a research maniac. He doesn't pay attention to relationships. Even if you really do marry, it's probably just a marriage in name." Sei Itō explained, "Also, he's the director of the Guide Technology Department under Schonetzel's command. He's in charge of the knightmare research and development, which fits the needs of your family's rise. It seems that your family's connections haven't been lost much with the decline. "
"Of course," Mi Lei said proudly. But when she thought about the upcoming blind date, she became listless again. "It seems that I can't avoid it."
"Just meet him." Sei Itō comforted, "By the way, can you take me with you on the day of your blind date?"
"What are you going to do?" Mi Lei rolled her eyes and asked.
"It just so happens that I also have some matters to discuss with Royd Asbruder," Ito Sei said.
"Okay." Mi Lei tilted her head and thought for a while before agreeing.
"Thanks." Sei Itō smiled.
That afternoon, Sei Itō asked for leave from the school and took the rail train to Narita. Because just after talking with Mi Lei, Karin told Sei Itō that Zero wanted to meet him through the phone. Since they would meet sooner or later, Sei Itō agreed. He bought a train ticket to Narita that afternoon and rushed to Narita.
"It's Narita Station, it's Narita Station." After a while, a woman's voice came from the loudspeaker of the train.
Sei Itō got off the train and then rushed to the location mentioned by Karin according to the route map in his mobile phone. About half an hour later, Sei Itō left the city and entered the mountains near Narita. Fortunately, Sei Itō's skills were there, and the mountainous conditions did not affect Sei Itō's speed at all. So he soon arrived at the rendezvous point specified on the mobile phone.
At this time, the sky was gloomy, and the surrounding lonely mountains gave off a strong sense of oppression.
At this time, the door of the wooden house not far from the rendezvous point suddenly opened, and Zero, wearing a black high-collared cloak and a strange helmet, walked out.
"Zero." Sei Itō turned to look at Zero. Seeing that Zero did not speak, he continued, "Why are you surprised to see me?"
"I didn't expect that the person who can provide Karin with that kind of performance would be such a young person. I'm indeed a little surprised, "Zero replied, then turned sideways and said," Come in. "
At this time, Luluxiu was very surprised. He did not expect Sei Itō, who was quiet at Ashford Academy, to have such power. To Luluxiu, this was even more surprising than Karin inexplicably bringing back a powerful body.
"Now let's get straight to the point," Zero said after Sei Itō sat down.
"Of course." Sei Itō extended his hand and said.
"Your purpose," Zero asked.
"War. It's best if it's a large-scale war, "Sei Itō said honestly.
"Oh?" Zero nodded as if she understood. "Arms dealer …" Then she asked, "Since you want me to start a war, what can you provide me?"
"Karin's body and the follow-up development parts of that body," Sei Itō said.
"Don't you think it's a little whimsical for me to start a war with just the investment of a body and its follow-up equipment?" Zero said.
"I don't think so." Sei Itō shook his head and said, "You saw the white body during the Shinjuku War, right …" After seeing Zero nod, he continued, "Red Lotus Two is a seventh-generation knightmare equivalent to that body. It's even stronger than that body in some aspects. Its advantage on the battlefield is self-evident. What's more, the effect of an ace is not as simple as the ace itself. It represents the hope of victory, the morale of the subordinates, and the key to victory or defeat. You don't want the battle you've worked so hard to set up to be destroyed by an inexplicable body, right? "
"So in my eyes. The value of an ace is definitely enough to pay for starting a war, "Sei Itō said with a faint smile.
"It seems that you are also someone who understands the art of war," Zero said, but she was secretly guessing, "Who is this guy …"
"I can't help it. I've seen a lot of this stuff in the past." Sei Itō shrugged indifferently.
"Okay, but I haven't seen the true performance of that body yet, so this matter can only be discussed in detail after this battle is over," Zero said.
"Okay!" Sei Itō nodded and said, "I also want to see if you are someone worth investing in."
