Several days passed in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, nothing had happened in the entire 11th District. It was peaceful and quiet. Keno, the Knight of the Round Table who was defeated by Xiao Ran, was too ashamed to appear in front of Xiao Ran and Euphemia. However, the whereabouts of the two Knights of the Round Table could not be hidden from Xiao Ran, who had been keeping an eye on them.
For the next few days, not only did the two young men and women not appear in front of Xiao Ran, they did not even appear in any formal occasions. In the eyes of others, they were almost completely immersed in their own world. However, Xiao Ran knew that the two little guys would go outside the city ring every day and personally enter the ruins of the periphery to see the destruction of the outside world and experience the hardships of those Eleven. They would leave early and return late every day, using their own eyes to observe the world more clearly.
The people keeping an eye on the two would report to Xiao Ran every day about what the two were doing today. Xiao Ran only needed to know who the two were in contact with and where they went. As for the rest, Xiao Ran really did not have the time to keep an eye on the two little guys.
Xiao Ran spent his time in the old research institute every day, working overtime with the technicians who were under control to complete the repair work of the transformable fighter as quickly as possible. He even personally participated in the manufacturing of many equipment. It could barely be considered as the first time that Xiao Ran had really devoted himself to technical work. At the same time, the new research institute, with a large number of people moving in, slowly began to prepare for the development of new technologies.
In the middle, Xiao Ran also took the time to meet with Luluxiu and saw the ten pilots selected by Luluxiu. Among them was the girl named Karin whom Xiao Ran had seen before, and the truck driver who almost died but was saved by Xiao Ran.
When these people saw Xiao Ran, they could not hold back the shock in their hearts. Xiao Ran's masked appearance had long been transmitted to every corner of the 11th District along with several successive incidents. As a resistance organization against Britaria, even if they had now joined the Black Knights who had higher pursuits and righteousness, it did not prevent them from being familiar with Xiao Ran. After seeing Xiao Ran, the exclusive knight with the highest authority in the 11th District and someone who was about to become a Knight of the Round Table, the feelings of the ten people could no longer be described with simple words like shock. It was quite complicated, with disbelief, fear, anxiety, and so on.
However, these ten people who were selected by Luluxiu to become pilots had also imposed the GEASS command on all of them. It was a special command that would not be triggered under normal circumstances. Just like the command that Luluxiu gave the pivotal Vermillion Bird to live in the original plot, once they were in a life or death situation, they would be controlled by the GEASS command. When they decided to betray and leak information about the Black Knights, this command would be triggered and control them to choose to die.
It was also because of this reason that Xiao Ran appeared in front of the ten selected members without any worries. Lelouch's' GEASS 'ability was a real attack that ignored the defense of ordinary people. There was absolutely no way for them to be immune to it, so there was no need to worry that the secret of Xiao Ran being one of the founders of the Black Knights would be exposed.
Xiao Ran took out a Regulator Bloodline for each of the ten people to use. After all, they were the people who would become the first combat force of the Black Knights in the future. Of course, such an investment was necessary. Moreover, among the ten people, one of them was Karin, who could grow to the level of a Knight of the Round Table in the future. As long as the Bloodline Potion could be used to its fullest potential, even if the other nine Bloodline Potions wouldn't be as effective, it would be worth the entire price of the ticket.
And just like the absolute nature of Luluxiu's GEASS command, the effect of the blood serum was also absolute. It was a kind of potion that could greatly increase the overall quality of the pilot. As long as it was a human, it would definitely produce the corresponding effect. There was a lower limit to the result after the enhancement. Even the weakest person would not fall below this lower limit. No matter what, they would have extraordinary physical fitness and reflexes. If one of the ten people awakened and developed a special Regulator ability similar to the Seed of Mind, then the ten blood serum would be even more worth it. However, the probability was basically zero for ordinary people.
The ten people all consumed the potion under the supervision of ZERO, who had transformed into Luluxiu. After that, the ten people left the meeting place, leaving only Xiao Ran and Luluxiu behind.
With only the two of them left, Luluxiu also took off his helmet to make himself more relaxed. As he put down his helmet, he said to Xiao Ran, "Congratulations, you're about to become a Knight of the Round Table."
Xiao Ran glanced at Luluxiu and shook his head gently. "What are you trying to say?"
"Ha." Luluxiu laughed and said, "Your development is getting faster and faster. Suddenly, you're about to become one of the most powerful Knights of the Round Table in the Empire. But what are you going to do about the Black Knights? What the Black Knights are going to do is completely opposite to what you're going to do when you become a Knight of the Round Table. "
"In this case, when you lead an army to bully the weak, and the Black Knights appear, should the one who win be you or the Black Knights?"
"Is this what you're worried about? Even if I become a Knight of the Round Table, I'll only appear on the real battlefield. " Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do. I didn't want to become a Knight of the Round Table. It's just that Knight Bismarck seems to think very highly of me. Coincidentally, I also need the information that can only be obtained after becoming a Knight of the Round Table, so I agreed."
"Also, if I become a Knight of the Round Table and use this identity to gain more power and supporters, wouldn't it be more beneficial for Nunnally? At the very least, after we overthrow the current emperor and place her on the throne, her throne will be more stable."
"Also, I've already cured Nunnally's eyes and legs. It's just that they've just been cured, so she can't be like a normal person yet. She should be able to return to normal after a period of recuperation. When the time comes, should I give her back to you, or should I continue to take care of her?"
Luluxiu's body stiffened. He looked at Xiao Ran in a daze. "He's cured? Can she see? "
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded gently and said, "What Nunnally has is not an illness at all. It's just that she's been affected by the power of Geass. It's entrenched in her brain and modified her memory, making her instinctively think that she's blind, a cripple who can't use her legs. As long as the influence of Geass is removed, she'll naturally return to normal."
Luluxiu's eyes sharpened. "Who is it? You know who it is, don't you?!"
Xiao Ran looked at Luluxiu quietly. "If you want to know the answer, then you have to be mentally prepared to know the answer. Also, you have to be prepared to know the whole story behind this matter because the answer is too cruel for you."
"Cruel? I've done crueler things with my own hands. What else can't I accept? " Luluxiu seemed to understand something. He lowered his head and fell silent with a complicated expression. After a few minutes, he slowly raised his head. "The same CODE ability user?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Luluxiu and said, "Yes, the immortal CODE ability user. Your father's eldest brother. At the same time, your father and mother are all GEASS ability users. One of them can modify the memory of others, while the other only triggered her GEASS ability right before her death. She's currently possessing another person's body in the state of soul and consciousness."
"But that's all I can tell you. These people all have their own motives, and the story is too complicated for me to understand. You'll have to find the truth that caused Nunnally to become like this yourself. I can only say that I hope you won't find it too boring and melodramatic after you get the final answer. However, not everything is so beautiful, and not everything is so cold. The most important thing is that you have to make your own judgment."
Luluxiu suspected that Xiao Ran must know more about the situation. It was definitely not as complicated as he said now. Although he did not know the reason why Xiao Ran did not mention these things, Luluxiu knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Xiao Ran if Xiao Ran did not say anything.
Besides, some things, especially family matters like this, required one to find the answers on their own. Luluxiu suddenly understood why Xiao Ran did not want to say more. Between smart people, there were many things that could be understood without needing to be said. The current situation was nothing more than Xiao Ran wanting Luluxiu to confirm the truth himself. He did not want to be the bad guy.
Of course, Xiao Ran would not tell Luluxiu that his parents were conspirators. He would tell Luluxiu that the two siblings were actually more like tools. They were cold and selfish, and everything they did was to satisfy themselves. Luluxiu only had positive memories of his mother now. He still placed his dead mother in the same position as Nunnally. How could Xiao Ran tell Luluxiu these things without any evidence? It would worsen their already good relationship for no reason.
Luluxiu calmed down for a while, then suddenly looked up at Xiao Ran and said, "You just said that my mother also has GEASS ability. She triggered it before she died and possessed another person?! Is that true?! "
"It's true." Xiao Ran nodded gently and said, "But I won't tell you who this person is. It won't do you any good to get in touch with this person now. You will only be deceived if you don't know the truth. And it's still too early for you to get in touch with these things. You don't really have your own power yet. Only when you grow up and truly understand everything and have the qualifications to talk to them on an equal footing, will you be able to deal with all problems more calmly."
A look of joy appeared on Lu Luxiu's face. However, he soon restrained his smile and frowned slightly. If Xiao Ran had not said those words earlier, Lu Luxiu would naturally be incomparably overjoyed when he found out that his mother was not truly dead and was still alive. However, Xiao Ran's words did not make Lu Luxiu feel happy.
"No," Luluxiu looked at Xiao Ran with some confusion, "But, how do you know these things? If you know these things, it means that you should be an insider. But it's obvious that no one knows you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be about to become a Knight of the Round Table. "
Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "There are more mysterious forces in this world than just CODE and GEASS. Don't you already know that? Since there are people who are prepared to destroy, change, and even set off huge waves in this world, there will naturally be people who protect this world and maintain order and peace. In such a world, everything can be a secret, and at the same time, nothing can be a secret. The key is that some people think that others don't know, but in fact, they don't know."
Luluxiu looked deeply at Xiao Ran and said, "I don't understand why. In short, the mission now is to strengthen the Black Knights, right?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "The strengthening of the Black Knights will be an indispensable force in stabilizing this world."
In the Empire, in the big countries across the coast, in Europe, in Africa, these are all organizations with their own unique technology. Although the scale of their numbers is not too big, the combat power they have is enough to crush all parties. They are gradually starting a terrifying war in this world. These people are my real targets and enemies, and they will also be the biggest opponents of the Black Knights in the future. Other than us, no one will be able to go against them. So, don't let these things change the initial idea of the Black Knights. "
"However, these organizations have not fully stepped onto the stage, so we still have time to quickly develop ourselves. But you have to remember, these organizations should have sent people to the 11th District. So, from now on, everyone who joins the Black Knights must be given the GEASS order to become a slave or never betray."
"For their purpose, they will definitely try to find traces of the Black Knights and eliminate any existence that threatens them. It is also very likely that they want to control Euphemia to get to the 11th District. You must be careful. If there are people you can't deal with, contact me immediately. I will come and deal with them."
Luluxiu frowned and nodded. The more Xiao Ran said these words, the more confused Luluxiu became. He was confused about what was going on and what organization Xiao Ran was talking about. Suddenly, a square object was handed to Luluxiu by Xiao Ran, disrupting his thoughts. After reflexively receiving the object, Luluxiu looked at Xiao Ran again.
Luluxiu asked, "What is this?"
"A special data storage device. It stores the technology I want to give you. Didn't I ask you to prepare a factory? This is the information of the new series of bodies, AS and Lambda Drive. You will know when you go back, especially the Lambda Drive. This thing has a powerful ability to change reality. You must treat the things inside with caution."
