In fact, Xiao Ran already knew who the real leader of the Scarlet Knights was. As for the guy with the bandage on his head, it was needless to say that he was the one who drove Lancelot against Xiao Ran in the training field. The other person could only be the commander of the Scarlet Knights. As for whether he was the real leader of the Scarlet Knights, Xiao Ran wasn't too sure because the Scarlet Knights that appeared in this world could only be a part of the real Scarlet Knights.
Just as Xiao Ran expected, the man with a bandage on his head first looked at Xiao Ran with a dignified look. Then, he waved his hands at the other man with a bandage on his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm the leader of the Scarlet Knights, Corgi, Knight Lelouch. Today is our first official meeting, but I invited you in. How can you treat my subordinates like this? I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, right?"
Xiao Ran was very calm, "I've said that the dignity of the Knights of the Round Table and the Royal Prince cannot be blasphemed. As subjects, these three people despised me, a Knight of the Round Table, and the Royal Prince beside me. I only punished them a little. In fact, I'm already giving face to the Scarlet Knights and you, Corgi."
"If we were in another place, I'm afraid that these three people wouldn't be standing in front of you, just like the three people in the 11th district. They probably won't have the chance to appear in front of you in this lifetime."
Corgi's eyes flickered, and the bandaged man behind him clenched his fists. He did not hide his hatred for Xiao Ran, as if he would kill Xiao Ran as soon as Corgi gave the order.
Xiao Ran wasn't the only one who could see the undisguised look in Lu Luxiu's eyes. Lu Luxiu could also see it clearly. However, the two of them were confident and didn't worry about any danger. Xiao Ran believed in his own strength, while Lu Luxiu believed in his own strength.
Corgi's chest heaved up and down. He pretended not to know and forced a smile, "Knight Lelouch, I'm not sure what you mean. Did you meet the Scarlet Knights in the 11th district?"
"You probably don't know whether I met them or not, but you should know very well whether I sent people there. Two of them sneaked in. One of them was monitoring Her Highness Euphemia. The other two were on the verge of mental breakdown. If they were stimulated a little, they would turn into idiots. As for the other one who was monitoring her, he died in the hands of your own people. And I got some interesting information from them."
"But what I don't understand is that even though they've lost themselves and are being controlled, they still refuse to say anything about the Scarlet Knights. It's as if there's a seal in their heads that prevents them from leaking any secrets about you guys at any time."
"I spent a lot of time to find out what I was interested in from them. Your mercenary groups are really interesting. After living in this world for so many years, I have never heard of or seen anyone like you. Can you tell me, what is the connection between your ten mercenary groups? Why do you have mechs that are different from the current world's technology? How do you make the serum that allows you to strengthen yourself? What is your purpose in joining Britaria? You want to monitor Her Highness Euphoria for the sake of the cherry stone, but what use does cherry stone have for you? Where are those mechs that require cherry stone hidden by you?"
"I even suspect that you aren't actually people of this world. Or perhaps, the people standing before me are merely people who have occupied the bodies of others and are special souls and spirits created by some existences. Moreover, the most interesting thing is that I obtained a piece of information from you that is both inconceivable and puzzling at the same time. An organization like yours … heh heh, why would you choose to join a faction? I believe that this isn't just for the support of Sakura Rock and Butaria. Moreover, what is even more inconceivable is that you, who are clearly free individuals, can't betray Butaria after joining Butaria? Could it be that this is another kind of restriction on your mental strength??? "
"I'm really, really curious. His Highness Lelouch by my side is also very curious. Doesn't that mean that you don't have the possibility of betraying Butaria? That means that you don't have the possibility to harm me and His Highness Lelouch by my side because we represent the highest authority of Butaria."
"But what I don't understand is that your people said that you are only loyal to Butaria and not a specific person. This gave me a completely new idea. Based on Butaria, we can force you to do certain things. As long as you don't betray us, you must complete our arrangements. This way, you don't need to pay any price to proactively fight for Butaria, instead of giving you the opportunity to make a deal with Charles."
"If you don't mind, we still have a night to slowly obtain the answers to these questions from you. If your answers satisfy us, I think we can make an interesting deal. We will provide you with more resources, including the Cherry Stone that you need the most. I believe that as the 11th District Governor, Her Highness Euphemia will be able to fully satisfy your requests, even more than His Majesty Charles can provide you."
"Finally, let me introduce myself. I'm here to represent three members of the royal family to negotiate with you. They are currently in the 11th District, Her Highness Euphemia, Her Highness Nunnally LI Brittalia, and beside me, the lost prince, His Highness Lelouch LI Brittalia."
"As for me, Lelouch Xiao, I'm Prince Lelouch's shadow and substitute. I've been given the name Lelouch. As the successor of the King's Power, I'm responsible for taking back all the rights of the King that belonged to His Highness."
Following Xiao Ran's words, the already tense atmosphere suddenly became even more tense. The air seemed to have condensed, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly by everyone's ears.
The faces of Knight Corgi and the people behind him kept changing colors. Purple, black, green, and white. Even their expressions changed from shock, surprise, fear, confusion, and confusion. Except for Phillips, whose eyes had turned red and had lost his sense of self, the other two people who were only controlled by Xiao Ran's telekinesis were in the same state as Corgi and Knight Corgi. Their foreheads and backs were completely soaked in sweat.
Everyone in the Blood Knights felt their scalps tingle, their hearts turn cold, their mouths taste bitter, and their minds shake because of Xiao Ran's words.
Xiao Ran's words were infinitely close to the intelligence related to Prometheus, but Corgi couldn't figure out what Xiao Ran knew. However, Corgi could tell that Xiao Ran was fully aware of their need for cherry stones to activate a more powerful body. He even pointed out all their biggest weaknesses.
Everyone's thoughts were complicated. Their hearts were constantly pounding like waves. Similarly, this was the first time Luluxiu had heard such information from Xiao Ran. He began to wonder why Xiao Ran would say such things. Was he trying to deceive the other party? But what was the purpose of doing so? Their expressions kept changing along with Xiao Ran's words. In other words, Xiao Ran's words had entered their hearts.
"I'll kill you!" The person whose head was wrapped in gauze should have originally looked very handsome. In the eyes of humans, he was no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a head of brown hair and extremely rare purple pupils. However, the gauze wrapped around his head made him look wretched, and the handsome feeling was completely broken.
The bandaged head clenched his fists angrily. He gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Ran. His heart was filled with fear and anger. He only wanted to kill this masked person in front of him immediately to relieve the inexplicable fear in his heart and let himself truly calm down.
Xiao Ran seemed to be talking to himself. "Then why don't you make a move? Or is it because of some special restriction that you can't make a move against us? You can't betray and need to be loyal to Britaria. You can't make a move against us, which means that if you make a move against people like us, the restriction in your head will judge it as an act of betrayal. Therefore, you can't brazenly make a move against us. However, on the battlefield, you have the opportunity to kill many people. "
"But I want to remind you that even if you can fight, I don't think you'll be a match for us if you don't pilot the mech. I don't know how mercenary groups like yours can strengthen themselves, but the real power in this world isn't limited to what you've come into contact with."
"CODE, a special ability of immortality. Even if you completely die, you will be resurrected in the shortest amount of time. It possesses extremely terrifying strength and can bestow anyone with the ability to surpass reality and directly reach the spirit and soul. It is an ability that belongs to gods. It can influence the will of the entire world and make this world more beautiful or destroyed."
"GEASS, a special mental ability. Once you obtain GEASS, you will obtain great power according to your most desired prayer and obtain the recognition of this world. You can borrow the power that belongs to this planet, Gaia and Alaya, and use this power to do things that ordinary people can't do."
"For example, time control. Of course, it isn't true time control. Instead, it uses the will of the planet to influence the target's perception of time in the outside world. It makes a long time in the outside world pass, but only one second passes for the target. It can even make the target forever trapped in that moment of time."
"There's also the ability to foresee the future. It can clearly determine all the actions of the target in the next period of time. It's like fate that can never deviate from the correct path. This is a special ability of the law of causality. As long as it can predict your next action, no matter what thoughts you have, it will follow the predicted action."
"There's also telepathy. It can completely peek into the thoughts, thoughts, and hearts of everyone around you. No matter what you want to do or what you are thinking, you won't be able to escape."
"The power of the king, a powerful ability that only a true king can possess. With just a glance, you will become machines that only know how to obey orders. Take this guy called Phillips for example. He was ordered not to speak, so from now on, he will never be able to open his mouth to speak. Once he tries to do that, he will lose himself like he is now. Although he can recover, his ability to speak will forever leave him. Tell me, if we use this ability to order you to become slaves, or to never betray someone, or to recognize someone as your highest leader, will you still have the ability to move?"
The corners of Xiao Ran's lips curled up, and he chuckled. "Besides, aren't you curious as to why the other two people can't move? It's because I don't allow them to move. As a supplement to the power of the king, my ability is slightly different. Although I can't order others to do anything, as Prince Luluxiu's shadow, I have a stronger ability to restrict others. Furthermore, as a king's shadow, I have a powerful combat ability. With just a stretch of my hand, you'll lose the ability to move just like the other two. Do you think you can break free from the suppression of the entire world? Or do you want to give it a try? "
As Xiao Ran spoke, he slowly raised his hand again. Suddenly, a mixture of green and blue light emerged from his hand, directly dyeing the entire corridor with a mixture of blue and green. It was somewhat dreamy, but also somewhat inconceivable.
Corgi took two deep breaths to force himself to calm down. He glared fiercely at his bandaged head, bowed to Luluxiu, and then said to Xiao Ran and Luluxiu, "My apologies. I apologize to Your Highness and the Knights of the Round Table for the rudeness of my subordinates. Welcome to the base of the Scarlet Knights. I'm very interested in the deal that Knight Luluxiu mentioned just now, but I don't know what it's all about."
Xiao Ran smiled and did not speak. Luluxiu raised his head, gently brushed his hands, and said, "Knight Corgi, this is not a good place to talk."
Corgi gritted his teeth and lowered his head slightly. "My apologies, Your Highness, please follow me."
