As soon as the Soul Slayer rose into the air, Xiao Ran, as an S-rank pilot, could immediately feel the flight condition of the Soul Slayer. Even if he only flew the Soul Slayer for a short period of time, he was able to understand the details of the Soul Slayer's condition more than if he were to land the Soul Slayer on the ground. The feedback from the actual operation was always better than the data displayed on the screen.
As the Soul Slayer soared into the sky, the red cloak behind the Soul Slayer fluttered in the wind. In fact, it looked like a simple red rag, but it had an extremely strong defensive capability. The double effect of the material and technology allowed the seemingly useless cloak to defend against and deflect laser attacks. At the same time, it also had a certain degree of defensive capability against live ammunition. If one were to compare the KF's armor to the Soul Slayer's cloak shield, the Soul Slayer's cloak shield would have a better defensive capability than the KF's armor.
And this was only the additional defensive measures used by the Soul Slayer. The Soul Slayer itself had reduced the strength of its armor due to its pursuit of greater flexibility. Even so, the Soul Slayer still surpassed the KF in all aspects by many times. Even a brand-new Soul Slayer like the Lancelot could not compare to it. One could only imagine how lousy the KF in this world was.
If it were not for the fact that the Soul Slayer Corps that joined this world required a large amount of cherry stones to unlock their bodies, as well as the restrictions and suppression of the main mission, this world would have been turned upside down by the Soul Slayer Corps. Charles would not be in such a high and mighty position right now.
Xiao Ran did not test the Soul Slayer for too long. All he did was to familiarize himself with the Soul Slayer and test its endurance limit. As for the weapon, there was nothing much to say. The Soul Slayer did not even have the T-Link system. Even with Xiao Ran's current level, he could not force the Soul Slayer to slice off a mountain in his normal state. Of course, such a feat would be shocking enough, but it would also bring some unnecessary trouble to the Scarlet Knights. At least for now, Xiao Ran needed the Scarlet Knights to keep a low profile.
Besides, other than throwing knives, the Soul Slayer did not have any other long-range weapons. It was only equipped with short to mid-range attacks. Anyway, it was impossible for Xiao Ran to make gestures in the air. That would be too silly. Would he have to fight with the air? Xiao Ran would never do that. In the end, he did not even unsheathe the weapon in the Soul Slayer's hand.
After landing the Soul Slayer back in the Scarlet Knights' encampment, Xiao Ran stepped on the Soul Slayer's lift rope and slowly descended to the ground. When he saw Bismarck and Corgi walking towards him, he nodded gently at them.
"How was it?" Bismarck asked anxiously. He had something on his mind and an ulterior motive.
"Not bad." Xiao Ran tilted his head and looked at Corgi tactfully. "Knight Corgi, thank you very much for providing me with this Soul Slayer. This Soul Slayer is definitely the best Soul Slayer I have seen in this world. Excellent speed, excellent mobility, and excellent performance. It has a superior ability that is the complete opposite of the Great Reminder. It's so good that it's unbelievable. I believe that with this Soul Slayer, I will achieve more for the Empire in the future."
Xiao Ran's words of gratitude were enough to show his appreciation for Corgi and his Soul Slayer. In Bismarck's ears, it sounded like Xiao Ran was very satisfied with the Soul Slayer provided by the Scarlet Knights. Moreover, the Soul Slayer's performance was much better than that of Lancelot's by a large margin.
Corgi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. "We are all working for the Empire. This Soul Slayer won't be of much use to the Scarlet Knights, and we can't find a suitable pilot. It's better to give it to Knight Lelouch. As long as Knight Lelouch can fully utilize the Soul Slayer's performance, I believe it will be of great help to the Empire. Haha."
Bismarck's ears perked up. This was exactly what he was worried about. Whether Xiao Ran could fully utilize the Soul Slayer's performance and whether it could be mass-produced.
After a pause, Bismarck pretended to be calm and said, "Knight Lelouch, other than the superior performance of this Soul Slayer, are there any difficulties in piloting it? Since we are here with Knight Corgi, if there's anything we don't understand, we can ask Knight Corgi to explain it to us."
Xiao Ran turned to Bismarck and shook his head slightly. "Although I've tried piloting the Soul Slayer just now, it's indeed much more difficult to operate than the KF. The two are completely different, and it will take a long time for me to familiarize myself with it. However, I believe that with enough time, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to operate it normally. However, it will still take some time for me to fully utilize the Soul Slayer's performance."
Bismarck nodded. From Xiao Ran's answer, Bismarck knew that the Soul Slayer was very difficult to operate, and it was completely different from the KF. It was just like how Xiao Ran explained that the Soul Slayer couldn't be configured conventionally. However, Bismarck didn't give up because of that. After all, he and Charles planned to obtain the Soul Slayer's technology from the Scarlet Knights, so he couldn't give up just because of Xiao Ran's words. After all, Bismarck didn't personally operate the Soul Slayer, so he didn't believe in all of Xiao Ran's words. Besides, Bismarck also felt that he had the ability to quickly adapt to the new Soul Slayer, and the Empire's technology also had the ability to create a simplified version of the Soul Slayer.
Corgi chuckled. "Hehe, since Knight Lelouch is able to operate the Soul Slayer, I don't have to worry about it anymore. If Knight Lelouch has anything you don't understand, I welcome you as a guest."
Xiao Ran nodded gently. "Well, thank you, Knight Corgi, for the Soul Slayer. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll come and trouble Knight Corgi."
Bismarck didn't immediately take Xiao Ran away. Instead, he stayed in the encampment and chatted with Corgi for a long time. He was trying to get more information about the Soul Slayer from Corgi. Of course, even though the Soul Slayer had been handed over to Xiao Ran, it could barely be considered as an official military force of the Empire. However, Bismarck and Charles never thought of breaking their agreement to analyze the Soul Slayer when they were working closely with the Scarlet Knights. If they did that, it would appear that Charles wasn't trustworthy at all. It would also affect the relationship between the Scarlet Knights and Brittany.
However, one day, Charles and Bismarck would also make a move on the Soul Slayer. It was just that the time wouldn't be right now. But whether they would have the opportunity in the end, at least they wouldn't know.
As the leader of the Scarlet Knights, Corgi was at least the highest commander in this mission. No matter how Bismarck tried to get information from Corgi, he couldn't get anything useful from Corgi. This made Bismarck a little disappointed. Just like before, he didn't know anything about the secrets of the Scarlet Knights.
When Bismarck was about to leave, Corgi suddenly became a different person. He laughed heartily and patted his forehead. He took out a document and handed it to Xiao Ran. "Aiya, aiya, I'm really sorry. I almost forgot. This document contains the technical information about the Soul Slayer. Since the Soul Slayer has been handed over to Knight Lelouch, this document should be handed over to Knight Lelouch as well. Otherwise, if the Soul Slayer is damaged in battle, it will be difficult to deal with it without this document. Our Scarlet Knights really can't spare manpower to accompany Knight Lelouch everywhere. With this document, as long as the problem isn't too serious, we should be able to deal with it. If there's any damage that isn't mentioned in the document, it will be a big problem. In that case, Knight Lelouch can only send the Soul Slayer to us."
"Thank you." Xiao Ran took the document from Corgi's hand without hesitation. Under the mask, he gave Corgi a deep look. He was quite satisfied with Corgi's performance. Corgi gave the document to Xiao Ran instead of Bismarck who was also present. Corgi's performance was quite profound.
In fact, Corgi didn't need to take out this document at all. However, from another point of view, it was something that had to be taken out. It was only a matter of time. Corgi had expected this when he decided to take out the Soul Slayer. After all, as Corgi said, if the Soul Slayer was damaged, it would be impossible for the Scarlet Knights to repair it. However, Corgi could use this document to make another deal with Bismarck and ask for more benefits.
Although the technical information of the Soul Slayer and the technical information of the Soul Slayer were not the same thing, just like how the technicians might not be able to create the same Soul Slayer. Being able to put together a model didn't mean that they could create the same Soul Slayer. However, there were still many connections between the two. A truly skilled technician could still copy some things, such as pirated models. Handing over these things was equivalent to handing over the detailed data of the Soul Slayer and most of the equipment information to Britaria.
Now that the document was handed over to Xiao Ran, it was obvious that Corgi was telling Xiao Ran that they were on the same side. He was only handing over these things because of Xiao Ran.
After handing this information to Xiao Ran, it would eventually fall into the hands of the Empire. However, since it had passed through Xiao Ran's hands, both Charles and Xiao Ran would more or less remember this. Whether or not they would give something to Xiao Ran would depend on how generous Charles was. In short, the Scarlet Knights would benefit a lot from this technical information, and so would Xiao Ran. After all, Xiao Ran was also the pilot of the Soul Slayer, and the subsequent 'technicians' would need Xiao Ran's cooperation to gain a better understanding of the Soul Slayer.
Most importantly, by taking the initiative to hand over this information, Corgi had really listened to what Xiao Ran said to him last night. This could be considered as him taking the initiative to ease the relationship between him and Charles. This was a performance that Xiao Ran was willing to see. Instead of waiting for Charles to send someone to ask for it, Corgi had at least hinted to Charles that the Scarlet Knights would still be loyal to the Empire. It also seemed to be hinting that they could reach more cooperation with the Empire.
In short, regardless of whether Corgi had decided to do this after listening to Xiao Ran's words, or if he was already convinced, his performance was at least passable in Xiao Ran's eyes. A wise man submits to circumstances, and a smart collaborator is always more useful than one who can't even differentiate north from south.
Bismarck was very happy to see this, but he also pretended to be calm. He was not in a hurry to let Xiao Ran drive the Soul Slayer to the base in the capital first. After that, he left the Scarlet Knights' encampment. Along the way, he urged the driver to hurry up and meet up with Xiao Ran.
When Bismarck got out of the car, he felt a shadow appear in front of him. He reflexively reached out to grab it. Xiao Ran, who had been waiting under the Body for a long time, directly threw the technical document in his hand to Bismarck.
Xiao Ran stood in front of the car and said calmly, "I've taken a look at this thing just now. It's more or less helpful for me to understand this Body, but it's not very useful for a pilot like me. I'll leave this document to you. Once you master the technology in it, you should be able to slightly improve the Empire's technological strength. However, if you want to fully master and replicate the Soul Slayer from this document, I can only say that it's not very useful."
"It doesn't matter. At least it's useful to you and this Body." Bismarck gently squeezed the document in his hand. He attached great importance to this document and was prepared to get the technical department to send someone to study it. Bismarck nodded solemnly and said to Xiao Ran, "Also, this will help us understand the true strength of the Scarlet Knights. If there's a chance, we should let someone understand the Soul Slayer thoroughly." Xiao Ran nodded and said to Xiao Ran, "Also, this will help us understand the true strength of the Scarlet Knights. If there's a chance, we should let someone understand this Soul Slayer thoroughly.
Xiao Ran said indifferently, "I don't have any objections, but you should be careful not to go overboard before you truly master the technology of this Body. Otherwise, if the Scarlet Knights are unable to fight, no matter how stupid they are, they will know that you have touched this Body."
