After staying in the capital for a few days, Sheyan cooperated with Luluxiu in handling the various tasks of the European Federation. Then, he went to Loide's place to take a look. The original special research facility had been fully upgraded, directly leaping from a single research facility to the largest machine development department in the Empire. However, the new facility was still under construction, so it hadn't been expanded in a practical sense for the time being. Even so, it was highly valued and was responsible for all the development projects of the Empire's new machines in the future.
After a few days of assistance, Xiao Ran really noticed that Luluxiu was lacking in ability in this aspect. Luluxiu was perceptive, and his learning ability wasn't slow, but he lacked experience and understanding. Fortunately, Schonetzel, who had chosen the right side, had been helping Luluxiu all this time, so the Empire didn't fall into chaos because of the successive major events.
Luluxiu also understood Schonazel's abilities and how indispensable he was to the empire. After using GEASS on Schonazel when he was unprepared, he boldly threw more state affairs to him. Schonazel, who didn't realize he had been tricked, was very satisfied with Luluxiu's trust. However, he was even more satisfied that he was finally able to gain Luluxiu's trust and power, allowing the empire to develop according to his will, step by step. Although he didn't become emperor, Luluxiu's restrictions on Schonazel were definitely countless times smaller than Charles'. Apart from being satisfied, Schonazel also felt like a fish in water.
During his time in the capital, Xiao Ran also took some time to accompany Euphemia. The girl who had become a little depressed because of Xiao Ran's deception was now in a much better state than before, but she still hadn't truly returned to her original state. As for Cornelia, she wasn't in the capital at the moment, but was still stationed in Africa. She was in charge of the occupation and control of Ron's army under Xiao Ran.
After staying in the capital for a few days, Xiao Ran finally couldn't sit still anymore and called her to him.
When she saw Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran was holding a document and carefully reading it. She had always been quite vigilant and guilty towards this man who seemed to have the whole world in the palm of his hand. She felt like she was being bullied when she interacted with him, but their relationship was actually quite good. It could be said that she had personally witnessed how this man used a method that made people confused and powerful. He used a method that seemed impossible to achieve his goal, which was really incredible.
Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at the person standing not far in front of him. He put down the document in his hand and appeared to be quite calm. He smiled slightly and looked him up and down. He said, "The clothes you're wearing now are quite luxurious. It seems that you're quite used to living in this place. It's probably the most relaxed life you've had in the past few hundred years. I heard that you've been spending a lot of time with Lulu every day when I wasn't around?"
Her expression was calm, but when facing Xiao Ran, her heart was definitely not as calm as her face was. Less than a second after Xiao Ran's voice fell, she said, "Luluxiu is my contractor after all, it's normal to have contact with him."
"Don't be nervous, I don't want to say anything. It's your business if you two want to have contact with each other." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "The reason why I called you over is that I have something to ask you. How much do you know about the world of C, the ruins and the internal thinking elevator scattered around the world, and the Sword of Akasha?"
After hearing Xiao Ran's words clearly, the expression on her face froze for a moment. She looked at Xiao Ran suspiciously and said with some disbelief, "Your goal …"
"I'm just curious about those things. I don't want to change the world through that place and the system. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I want to see it for myself and come into contact with this kind of thing that I think has some value. If I can have a CODE holder like you to lead the way, I think my journey should be much more convenient."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he pointed at the document he had just put down and said, "This document contains all the relevant information and information that Charles has been collecting over the years. The specific locations of the ruins are all marked on it. What I want to know is that I can enter the world of C by simply entering an elevator and come into contact with the Sword of Akasha, or do I need to find out everything in the entire world to activate it?"
Her gaze fell on the document in Xiao Ran's hand. She turned her head slightly and paused, then looked at Xiao Ran again, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Ran said, "I've said it before. I'm just curious. You should know that it's not difficult for me to rule this world with my power. If this place requires a CODE holder to activate, then you're not the only CODE holder I know. It's just that I trust you more, and I think you'll trust me too."
She didn't quite believe it, "Just curious?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled without saying anything. He just looked at her and spread his hands, indicating that he had made it very clear.
She knew that if Xiao Ran was really curious about the things she mentioned before and prepared to take action, no one in the entire world could stop him. Even the current supreme ruler of the Empire, Luluxiu, was the same. No one could stop Xiao Ran from taking any action, and Luluxiu's performance during this period of time also proved something. Even if Luluxiu had the ability, he wouldn't stop Xiao Ran.
She spent a lot of time with Luluxiu while Xiao Ran was away. She wanted to take a closer look at Luluxiu, who had a deep relationship with her. However, she didn't forget to remind Luluxiu to be careful of Xiao Ran from time to time because Xiao Ran was too mysterious and too powerful. She didn't know what his purpose was. For a witch who had lived for hundreds of years, whether she was afraid of Xiao Ran or felt guilty, she would naturally be careful of Xiao Ran. It was normal for her to remind Luluxiu, who she thought highly of.
She knew that she couldn't stop Xiao Ran and would eventually be forced and threatened to follow him. She felt that it was better not to ask for trouble. Besides, if Xiao Ran had any bad intentions, she could also stop him at the last moment. After a moment of silence, she said to Xiao Ran, "I will cooperate with you."
With her consent, Xiao Ran quickly left the capital with Zhui. He didn't bring anyone else and quietly went to a ruin mentioned in the information collected by Charles. As the holder of CODE, Xiao Ran wasn't sure if he had been to such a place before. However, in front of Xiao Ran, he was familiar with it. He passed through the passage in the ruin without any hindrance and brought Xiao Ran to the place he wanted to enter. He saw what he wanted to see, but in the end, he didn't do anything and only stayed for a few minutes before choosing to leave.
It wasn't that Xiao Ran wasn't interested in these things, but he had obtained all the answers he wanted. Many of his original thoughts had been verified and confirmed that C's world, or rather, the Sword of Akasha, was the world core of this world. This could be verified by the notification in his mind.
"Ding! Serial 678, you have come into contact with the only core item of this world, the Sword of Akasha."
"The only core of this world, special item — the Sword of Akasha: 1. The only core item that can be used once in any inertial world, branch world, or similar world. In the future, this core will lose its effect in any similar world. 2. Can be used to completely unlock and activate the GEASS ability obtained in this world. Can be used to bestow the GEASS ability to others. Complete unlock requires binding of the Sword of Akasha. Currently, there are only two people who can bind it. Binding method unknown."
"After you unlock the Sword of Akasha and complete all the core requirements, you can use it to bind a faction territory."
This was the notification Xiao Ran received. It also pointed out that the GEASS ability that he had temporarily obtained before actually needed to rely on this thing to completely unlock and become a permanent ability. However, unlike Ron, Xiao Ran didn't randomly operate the 'door' when he accidentally came into contact with it, so he didn't see any unusual illusions, such as the figure that appeared in Ron's mind.
The content of the notification wasn't much, but for Xiao Ran, this content had already allowed him to fully understand all the causes and effects. All the meaning contained in the content was very clear, unlike Ron who only received a vague hint. Instead, he relied on everything he knew to come up with the most correct answer in the shortest time possible.
The Sword of Akasha was the control system of World C. It could control the entire World C, which was equivalent to being able to influence and change the entire real world. It could be said that as long as you controlled this thing, you controlled the world. It wasn't surprising that it was regarded as the core of this world.
But only the holder of CODE could control and use the Sword of Akasha. The number of people currently bound in the notification was two current CODE holders. One was now by Xiao Ran's side, and the other was sealed away.
Originally, Xiao Ran wasn't interested in this world because he felt that the development of this world was too low. Only World C, a place that had merged with the world's consciousness, had some value. Xiao Ran wanted to come into contact with World C because he wanted to see the essence of this world and see if it could bring him any help and change.
But he didn't expect that after coming into contact with this, the notification given by Prometheus was indeed a little unexpected. In World C, as the only core of the world, the Sword of Akasha's function was not only to give this world a 100% chance of becoming a faction territory, but more importantly, this thing could bestow the ability of GEASS to others. And it seemed to be a permanent ability, not a temporary ability that could only be used in this mission.
In this way, the value of this world had far exceeded Xiao Ran's initial expectations. It had almost reached the same level as the original World of SEED. Although GEASS's ability was all mental, it was equivalent to a mental ability, bloodline, or skill. And according to the different abilities, it would bring a lot of help. For example, the Power of the King, memory modification, time stopping, and so on. Although it wasn't clear how many people it could bestow, it was still the same as obtaining the Sword of Akasha. All the members of the Burning Legion would have an additional choice of bloodline and ability. It would change the direction of this world and make it a place where bloodlines could be produced without restrictions. In this case, the value of the Sword of Akasha would of course become even more valuable.
After walking out of the ruins, Xiao Ran was silent for a moment. Then, he took out the communication device and contacted the capital. After waiting for a while, the three new Knights of the Round Table, Suzaku, Jeremiah, and Veletta, appeared in front of Xiao Ran with an independent team. At the same time, they brought along a huge sphere that was taller than a person. And this sphere was very familiar to them.
After the soldiers and the three Knights of the Round Table spread out and surrounded the sphere, Xiao Ran slowly approached the sphere and opened it. A young man with long blonde hair wearing a binding suit was revealed. This person had the ability of CODE. Although he looked like a young man, he was actually quite old. He was the elder brother of the previous Emperor, Charles.
When Jeremiah and the others saw that a child had emerged from the ball, they were more or less surprised, but none of them said anything, and continued to abide by their mission.
After taking a glance at Xiao Ran, he lost interest and turned to Cheng. "Cheng, kill him."
"Okay." Cheng would never refuse Xiao Ran's order. He knew Xiao Ran's character very well. During battles, he would rarely kill the natives, even if they were his enemies. Therefore, Xiao Ran was not a person who would kill the innocent. Although the child looked like this, Cheng knew the inside story. Although he did not know why Xiao Ran wanted him to kill this person, he decisively walked over and prepared to kill him with a pistol.
"Wait, use the knife." Xiao Ran suddenly raised his hand and looked at Jeremiah. The latter quickly took out his military knife from his waist and threw it to Cheng. Cheng did not hesitate to draw his sword and swung it gently, directly cutting off the stunned child's head. Because his mouth was covered, he could not make any sound at all.
The holder of CODE could only be killed by those with GEASS ability. Xiao Ran obtained the temporary GEASS ability, and of course, Cheng also obtained this ability from him. Even if it was only temporary, it was still GEASS. Killing a defenseless person was a piece of cake.
After the head was separated from the body, Cheng, who was swinging his sword, paused for a moment. After a few seconds, he turned to look at Xiao Ran and smiled, "I have obtained CODE."
