Euphemia extended an invitation to Xiao Ran to become her personal knight, and Xiao Ran finally agreed. This matter seemed to have been arranged just like that. There was basically not much suspense in the matter of Xiao Ran becoming Euphemia's personal knight.
Although it seemed that the matter was settled simply with one of them accepting the invitation and the other accepting, there were still many issues and troubles that needed to be resolved from the beginning to the end. Although Euphemia had the right to appoint her own personal knight, as the third princess of the world's most powerful country, it wasn't a small matter for the Britalian royal family to have a personal knight by her side.
Of course, most of these troubles wouldn't fall on Euphemia's shoulders in the end. However, if Xiao Ran wanted to truly become Euphemia's personal knight, he still needed to go through a process. For example, various examinations, checking Xiao Ran's physical condition to see if there were any problems, investigating Xiao Ran's background to ensure that he wouldn't be a threat to Euphemia and Britalia, and assessing Xiao Ran's various abilities to determine if Xiao Ran truly had the ability to become a personal knight.
Usually, for the Britalian royal family, a personal knight had a special meaning to every member of the royal family. Perhaps there was only a simple superior-subordinate relationship between people of the same sex, but if the master and subordinate were of the opposite sex, most of them would have special feelings other than superior-subordinate relationships. This was also considered an unspoken rule in the royal family.
For example, if a prince chose a woman to become his personal knight, then this woman would almost certainly become a member of the prince's harem. On the other hand, if Xiao Ran became Euphemia's personal knight, then the man that Euphemia would interact with the most in the future would definitely be Xiao Ran. Therefore, to a certain extent, it could be considered as Xiao Ran's future identity in the eyes of some people. After all, the fairy tale of a princess and a knight also existed in this world.
Of course, it didn't rule out the existence of a pure superior-subordinate relationship between a master and a subordinate of the opposite sex, but at least it meant that Xiao Ran at least had the qualifications to become Euphemia's pillow and obtain the identity of a member of the royal family. Of course, just this point alone would of course require a strict examination of every personal knight.
On that day, after Xiao Ran sent Euphemia back with the identity of a reserve knight, he wasn't able to stay in the embassy where Euphemia was currently staying because of her invitation. After all, the current Xiao Ran could only be considered as a commoner and he hadn't even joined the Britalian royal family. Before the official conferment, there wasn't much possibility for him to be alone with Euphemia.
Currently, he was living in a temporary residence and directly stayed in a hotel near the embassy. He didn't even return to the house that he had just rented for less than a day. Everything was as peaceful as if nothing had happened.
However, Xiao Ran was certain that Euphemia, who had returned to the embassy, would have definitely informed the royal family or the Britalian royal family about the personal knight. In the next few days, there would definitely be a lot of people investigating his identity. Between him and Euphemia, there would definitely be a lot of people who couldn't sleep at night because of this.
Xiao Ran also thought that even if someone investigated, they would at most be able to investigate his current identity on the surface. The identity of Luluxiu Xiao wasn't perfect and no one could find any flaws, but this identity was also considered a big shot in the 11th District. The consul in charge of the military and legal affairs here personally arranged an identity for Xiao Ran. On the surface, their relationship was still that of the nephew of the consul who had been influenced by Xiao Ran.
Not only that, the guy who was given the consul code name by Xiao Ran used his authority to cover Xiao Ran's surface identity with an additional layer of protection, packaging Xiao Ran as an intelligence officer. Most of the information was arranged to be top secret or deleted. Not to mention, Xiao Ran began to perfect his information as soon as he stayed in the hotel. Therefore, even if someone investigated Luluxiu Xiao's information, they would stop because of this level of confidentiality. At most, they would personally find the consul to ask. Even if there were some mistakes in the process, it wasn't that important.
In the end, they would still choose to believe Xiao Ran's identity. The Empire's secret intelligence officer and the nephew of a high-ranking noble. If they couldn't believe such an identity, then they really didn't know who to believe.
Just as Xiao Ran checked into the hotel, the abandoned stadium where Xiao Ran drove Lancelot to destroy a few KF pilots was now brightly lit. After Euphemia and Xiao Ran left, trucks delivered a lot of equipment. The lights surrounded the stadium, illuminating it as if it was daytime.
The special department led by Loide was scattered around Lancelot, either inspecting Lancelot or conducting the most detailed investigation and study of the fallen bodies and traces on the ground. The pilots of the KF pilots who were destroyed by Xiao Ran also led a group of subordinates here.
Even Jeremiah, who was besieged at that time, was also among them. He and his subordinate, a female pilot named Villetta, were also surveying the scene of the battle. They were no longer in the mood to fight to the death like they were in the evening. They were seriously trying to recall the situation at that time with the others.
After a few hours of busy work, Loide, Jeremiah, and the others had also finished summarizing all the information. They integrated the traces at the scene and the data on Lancelot's backstage truck, and finally drew a relatively simple analysis video.
In the video, Lancelot rushed toward the stadium from a distance at a very fast speed. All the ruins and obstacles along the way not only did not slow down Lancelot's speed, but they also made use of some springboard-like places to speed up Lancelot's speed again. After three consecutive jumps, Lancelot crossed the auditorium of the stadium. He drew his sword as he descended from the sky. When he landed, he turned around. The two high-vibration longswords drew a beautiful and coherent arc. He only spun twice before he put his sword away.
After Loide finished watching this computer-generated video, his eyes narrowed slightly. Jeremiah, a noble who also played a significant role in Lelouch's plot, was also stunned. It seemed that he couldn't quite believe the scene he saw was played in slow motion.
Other people who also saw this scene had similar expressions as Jeremiah, but one of them shook his head and said in disbelief, "How can it be so simple? How can he destroy all our bodies with just a few movements? I admit that the person just now is very strong, but how can he cut off all the limbs of our bodies at the same time with just two swords? It must be because of that body. Loide specially assigned that Lancelot. Is it equipped with some special weapons? "
"The most powerful weapons on that body are the two high-vibration military knives. Although it is impossible to do such a thing in theory, this is the result of my investigation based on Lancelot's information and the recovery of the scene. And the fact is that the other party only used one or two seconds to destroy all of your bodies. Can't you accept such a fact if it happened to you?"
Loide glanced at the person who spoke with a smile, but his heart was full of disdain. In Loide's eyes, although these guys had pure bloodlines, noble identities, and more or less had some strength, their strength was not worth mentioning at all. Otherwise, how could Lancelot, which he had developed, not find these people to be test pilots? They only knew how to maintain their bloodline's pride, but their abilities were a mess. Other than internal strife, there was really nothing worth praising.
Loide walked to the computer and sat down. He tapped on the keyboard and called up an image. It was the image of several scrapped KFs surrounding the Lancelot. He said, "This is the final result, the image of the parts scattered after your bodies were destroyed."
"We will import the data just now, build a new model, and then backtrack in reverse."
As Lloyd's voice faded, the image on the screen began to change. With the image of Lancelot standing upright as the foundation, the heads, feet, and arms of the destroyed KF slowly moved in the form of light dots and lines. In the end, as if time was flowing backwards, they reformed into several KF's. One was kneeling, while the others were standing. After this image appeared, several bright curves and one or two lightning-like lines appeared on the screen.
"The image that appears now is pieced together from all the data. The key is Lancelot's operating data. In this process, although the positions, angles, and movements of your respective bodies were different, Lancelot only made three attacks after landing. The last one was a backhand slash when he was sheathing his sword. Although even I can't understand how he managed to slice all the bodies moving from different angles into sticks in an instant, I can't deny it in front of the facts, so I drew the most likely attack route."
"In the first attack, the legs and heads of all your bodies were actually destroyed. In the second attack, except for Jeremiah's body, everyone's arms were broken. In the third attack, when he was sheathing his sword, he also cut off Jeremiah's body's arm."
Jeremiah stared blankly at the image on the screen and muttered, "Monster …"
"That's right, I agree with you." Loide looked at Jeremiah in the eye, which was rare for him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "That person is even scarier than a monster. Although that Lancelot has absolute performance that can completely crush the current KF, even such a body can't match that monster's movements at all. The body's performance has been squeezed to the limit. You can hear Lancelot's moans and distortions with every movement. Just like the image you saw just now, that Lancelot needs to be refurbished and repaired in such a short time."
"Other than the outer armor, every part of the Lancelot's body has been forcefully squeezed out of it. If the Lancelot were to maintain this level of strength in battle, it would only take a few minutes to turn him into a pile of scrap metal like his surroundings. Compared to you guys who can't even squeeze out the full potential of KF, who are considered trash in my eyes, compared to that monster, hehe …"
Jeremiah took a deep breath and said, "Even if we have ten times more people, or even a hundred times more people, that person can still completely crush us before Lancelot collapses. Because in his eyes, we are like weeds that can be harvested at will. There's no difference between destroying a few bodies with one swing of his sword and destroying a dozen bodies with one swing of his sword."
After saying that, Jeremiah turned around and left decisively. Veletta, who was standing behind Jeremiah, saw Jeremiah leaving and quickly shouted, "Jeremiah, where are you going?!"
Jeremiah did not stop walking and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to find that person. I want to personally ask him how he did it in the previous battle. We won't know anything if we just look at the restored image. I want him to teach me how to drive a KF. I want to return all the humiliation that ZERO gave me."
After hearing Jeremiah's words, Loide's eyes flashed and he quickly stood up from his chair, "Cecil, I'll leave this to you. Bring everything back in its original state and put it back in its original position. These things are very valuable for research. Don't make any mistakes. Jeremiah, I'll go with you. I also have a lot of questions that I want to discuss with that guy."
Loide quickly followed Jeremiah. Veletta looked at the surrounding pilots who had a complicated expression on their faces and shook her head. She quickly caught up with them and said, "Wait for me."
Xiao Ran did not know that Loide and the others were currently in the stadium trying to restore the battle process. However, even if he knew, he would not care at all. Even if they could rely on Lancelot and the traces left at the scene to reconstruct the battle, what could they do? What everyone could see was only the external performance. Even if ten thousand people were to watch the battle, not one of them would be able to replicate Xiao Ran's movements. The difference in levels and special abilities between pilots was not something that could be learned and compensated by just watching.
Loide and Jeremiah, on the other hand, were men of action. After locating Xiao Ran's location, they sped all the way to the hotel. They did not care about the time or whether Xiao Ran was asleep. They stood outside Xiao Ran's room and knocked on the door.
