Corgi curled his lips. "He didn't explicitly express his dissatisfaction, but his words revealed a kind of arrogance that was unpleasant to the eye."
"This should be a warning." Seleus glanced at Corgi and said to Xiao Ran, "Just as Corgi said, he didn't explicitly express his dissatisfaction, but this kind of arrogance is a warning to us. It's true that he's interested in us, but the other party definitely isn't as friendly as he appears to be. That faint arrogance is obviously looking down on us, thinking that we won't be a threat to them at all."
"Even if we won this war, that person didn't really take us seriously. Perhaps to them, the mission we carried out before was as laughable as a child's fight. Moreover, they used that seemingly friendly but actually arrogant attitude to tell us to be merciful whenever possible. They felt that we had never been the victors at all, and they even used that attitude to tell us that this war was over. I don't know what position or identity they have to say such words, but rather than mediating, I feel that they are more like warning us."
"They are telling us that defeating Ron and his army is not worth mentioning, but in fact, everything is over, yet they still want to show up at this time. I think they might want the time bomb back, or they might be interested in the potential we have shown, but more importantly …"
At this point, Seleus couldn't help but glance at Corgi. After seeing Corgi's thoughtful look, he said helplessly, "It should be because Corgi provoked Ron too much previously."
"Haha." Xiao Ran suddenly laughed. He looked at the somewhat confused Corgi and waved his hand gently. "What you said is very likely, but it's not Corgi's fault. I asked him to deliberately provoke the other party. In other words, according to what you think, that guy who suddenly appeared to contact you had three purposes this time. First, to see your potential and then understand the situation of the previous mission. Second, to get the time bomb back. Based on these two premises, to warn Corgi, who was jumping around too happily, and then, what else?"
Corgi thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Also, I remember that he specifically said that people like us and Ron are actually not worth mentioning in the entire Prometheus. If we want to develop in Prometheus, we can only rely on our own strength. Heh, do I need him to tell me this?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Corgi, then looked at Seleus and nodded gently. Seleus said, "That's not what he said, but it's roughly what he meant. He said that we can consider it, and if we have any ideas, we can contact him at any time."
"Okay, I got it." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "The three time bombs can be returned to the other party, but the value is as I said. You guys go to Law and take the time bombs back to them. As for the rest, you don't have to say anything to them. It would be best if you can ask for the name of their legion. If the other party says something you don't like to hear, Corgi, I allow you to do your best to fight back."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile again and wave his hand. "That's enough. You guys go first."
"Then, boss, we'll be leaving first." Corgi chuckled and left Xiao Ran's study with Seleus.
After the two left, Xiao Ran looked at Cruzet again and asked, "What do you think?"
Kreutzer leaned back slightly and said lazily, "How else can I see it? Just like what the two of them said, this is a warning, but it's also a test. They probably want to rope you in. I don't believe that you can't see it. Otherwise, there's no need for you to stand up only after everything has been settled and the spoils of war have been given out. If it's just a simple warning, there's no need for you to pretend to be kind. And they won't do it after the spoils of war have been given. The timing is very clever, and so is their attitude. At least it shows that the other party is not a brainless brute. "
"It's just a pity that we didn't get more information from that person. On the other hand, the other party knows nothing about us. You let Corgi continue to provoke them, so you've made up your mind to choose them as your targets."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said, "Anyway, we've already been noticed. Our Legion's reputation in the super district is really bad. If this goes on, we'll really become public enemy number one. It's better to take the initiative to show off our muscles and let more people know about us. At least those who aren't strong enough won't dare to provoke us, and those who are strong enough will have to see if it's worth it. If they target us, they'll have to be on guard against our retaliation. Since the other party has already taken the initiative to stand up, I feel that if we don't respond, it will be a bit of a humiliation to our Burning Legion's morale."
Cruzet looked at Xiao Ran and said with a smile, "Indeed, after so long, we've been getting more and more relaxed. If this goes on, other than those with character, the others may really become lazy and lose the will to fight. After all, this is Prometheus. It's fine to relax, but the scary thing is that if you continue to relax, you'll become another person. That will only be the end of the world for the participants. It's also necessary to maintain the Legion's competitiveness and pressure. Since it's decided, then there's no need to say anything else. Just get ready for battle. I'll try to become an S-rank pilot as soon as possible, including Law, Graham, Uzzes, Zeng Jia, and the others."
"However, I feel that you don't have to worry too much about the possibility of us being promoted. After all, none of these people are simple characters. The road ahead is already clear, and all that's left is the enrichment of this one or two missions. Actually, it's not impossible for us to be promoted now, but it's best to complete this special mission and get a special evaluation. That's the safest choice."
Xiao Ran nodded. Special Quests could grant special evaluations, and the usefulness of these special evaluations was extremely great. For these big shots who had only just entered the first round of Prometheus's quest, these special evaluations were extremely valuable. Whether it was to strengthen themselves or to fix their weaknesses, these special evaluations were extremely useful. Therefore, this special mission would definitely increase the strength of these big shots once again.
Cruzet didn't stay for too long before leaving. The current situation wasn't that complicated. To put it bluntly, the situation in the super zone could be settled by waiting. It wasn't so serious that they had to throw everything else aside to deal with it. No matter what the other party thought, whether they fought or not, it wouldn't affect the Burning Legion much. It was all part of the plan. With strength and confidence, they didn't have to worry about what the other party would do. When the time came, they would take the initiative to fight without the other party needing to do anything. However, if the other party was tactful, Xiao Ran would probably be too embarrassed to challenge them for no reason. Unfortunately, it seemed that the other party wasn't so tactful.
After Cruzet left, Xiao Ran didn't think too much about it and went to hug Dolly again. Next, he just had to wait for Corky and Selleus to bring back the news. Based on Corky's character, angering the other party was definitely not a problem. He just had to see if the other party could tolerate it. Secondly, he could also test the importance of the three time bombs to the other party. No matter how much he thought about it now, there was no point in thinking about it.
Xiao Ran seemed to have completely forgotten about it. He went from the study to the garden. There were already many people in the center of the huge garden. The garden was a place that Xiao Ran had to visit every day. There were grass, flowers, cats, mice, and many other insects. There were also super AI robots to play with. Most importantly, there were angels and beauties. There wasn't even a need to arrange for security. Those who dared to intrude would first have to face the countless large and small green, yellow, and red insects outside. It was impossible to hide from the countless insects.
When Xiao Ran arrived at the garden, he was originally going to hug Dolly. However, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be more people in the garden. It wasn't Da La. Even though Da La had already treated the presidential palace as half of her home under Xiao Ran's various arrangements, it didn't mean that she didn't need to do anything in the other world. At least, she wasn't a real 'outsider'.
Compared to the big family in the presidential palace, the people who suddenly appeared this time were real outsiders. When Xiao Ran first saw the extra people, he didn't immediately react. He paused for less than a second before he walked over with a smile on his face.
At this time, Da Xia was sitting on a chair in the middle of the garden and talking to Mary. Little Lax was also here. Little Xia was playing with the child on the lawn. Liu Muo was kneeling on the ground with a toy and teasing the little girl. There were two people watching all of this. Sherry Dew was sitting at a table, greeting guests.
Xiao Ran walked over and first greeted Da Xia, Mary, and Little Lax. Then, he walked over to Sherry Dew. After stopping beside Sherry Dew, he smiled and greeted the guests that Sherry Dew was greeting, "Miss Meiyun, and the members of the Valkyrie, welcome."
These extra people in the presidential palace were the members of the Valkyrie. All of them had their own characteristics. How could Xiao Ran's appearance not be noticed? When Xiao Ran stood still, the other members of the Valkyrie also trotted over. After Xiao Ran finished speaking, they also greeted Xiao Ran in an orderly manner.
"You're welcome. We're at home and not somewhere else. You don't have to be so formal. If we have to put on airs at home, what's the point of living like this?"
Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand. He had been in contact with the Valkyrie for a long time, especially with Meiyun. It could be said that his impression of her was quite deep. But after the Windemir incident, the Valkyrie was left behind by Xiao Ran. After such a long time, plus the mission, Xiao Ran seemed to have forgotten about them.
Xiao Ran's friendliness made the nervous members of the Valkyrie relax a little. After being in the Shipwreck World for so long, the more they understood the Shipwreck World, the more they felt the strength of the Shipwreck World. This strength was not only for the current world, but also for several different worlds. As a member of the Shipwreck World, they naturally knew that the Shipwreck World controlled several worlds. Xiao Ran could be considered a true super boss to them, and at the same time, she was also their immediate superior.
But among the Valkyrie, not everyone was nervous and in awe of Xiao Ran. Meiyun didn't have such thoughts at all. She was cold, indifferent, and rational, even now. It should be said that Meiyun actually didn't care about many things in the outside world, which allowed her to maintain such a character.
Da Xia and Mary came over and told Xiao Ran to take the children back to rest. Liu Muye and little Lax also left, leaving only Xiao Ran and Sherry Dew to entertain the Valkyrie. The table in the garden was not small. After everyone sat down, Xiao Ran asked politely with a smile, "Is there anything you're not used to during this time in the Fleet?"
"There's nothing I'm not used to." As the leader of the Valkyrie, Bakania quickly shook her head after Xiao Ran's voice fell. "Life in the Fleet is more interesting than we thought. There are many novel things that have opened our eyes. We can go to different worlds to visit and travel. This is something we can't imagine at all. The people who take care of us are also very good to us. Everything is arranged properly and we don't have to worry about anything. Thank you very much, Lord Xiao Ran, for taking care of us."
Sherry Dew patted Xiao Ran with a smile and said, "You hid them in the Fleet like treasures and arranged for people to take care of them. What can they be dissatisfied with?"
Xiao Ran's mind was full of question marks. Yes, he left the Valkyrie in the Fleet, but he didn't treat them as treasures. After all, he did take a fancy to their abilities. However, the importance of Mei Yun, the Star Singer, was the most important. Xiao Ran didn't allow Mei Yun to leave because he didn't want her to be used by others. In the end, she would become a threat to the Fleet. It was better to eliminate this threat from the source from the beginning.
There were people to take care of them, but that was just normal instructions and arrangements. Moreover, it seemed that the specific arrangements for the Valkyrie were handled by Sherry Dew. Xiao Ran was a little surprised when Sherry Dew suddenly said this.
However, after thinking about it, Xiao Ran understood what Sherry Dew wanted to say. He shook his head and said to the Valkyrie with a smile, "There are many interesting things in the Fleet, and there are also many interesting things in other worlds. However, it's easy to get tired when you don't have anything to do every day. Since you're here, I have something to arrange for you to do."
