A lot of what Xiao Ran said was the truth, but he didn't care if the people from Mithril or Tessa believed him. After all, from Tessa's perspective, what he said now sounded like a fantasy story. Even if Xiao Ran explained it in the simplest way possible, it was still a little far-fetched and unclear.
However, time would prove everything. Xiao Ran did have intentions for this world, but it had nothing to do with Mithril. Perhaps it wasn't a bad thing for this world. Of course, it depended on one's perspective. Some people were willing to make this world a better place, but some people weren't willing to have their rights affected, let alone having a king above their heads. To Xiao Ran, there was only one value in this world, and that was Chidori Yao and Chidori Yao representing the core of this world. As for the rest, it was basically worthless.
Therefore, even if this world became a faction territory, Xiao Ran wouldn't necessarily make huge changes to it. Just like the current Luluxiu world. Even though it had become a faction territory, Xiao Ran only asked people to bring it back. He didn't choose to interfere with the world itself. Of course, if something bigger happened to this world, it would be a different story.
But no matter what, Xiao Ran's mysterious appearance would indeed make the people from Mithril and the people in charge of the other factions in this world worry. Earth was now in a critical and difficult time. The appearance of an unknown person or faction would make the current situation even more chaotic. In addition, the FOLD jump that Xiao Ran made the Purple Wind perform was obviously not a technology from Earth. It was somewhat similar to the appearance of the dimensional beasts. Wouldn't people think that the dimensional beasts might be some kind of special weapon sent by Xiao Ran? Of course, this was a possibility.
Richard didn't express whether he believed Xiao Ran's words or not, and Tessa didn't have any reaction either. She was immersed in her own world. For a moment, the reception room was quiet, and the scene couldn't be considered friendly or joyful.
No one spoke. Xiao Ran wasn't in a hurry. After all, he was the only one who could make the decision. As for the people on the other side, they would naturally have plenty of topics to talk about after the gifts arrived. Xiao Ran didn't hold back either. He raised his cup from time to time to take a sip of tea, but he didn't touch the snacks.
Perhaps it was because she had walked out of her own world that Tessa realized that the reception room was unusually quiet. After looking at Xiao Ran, she turned to Richard and said, "Richard, pass the information we prepared to Mr. El Erf."
Richard nodded. "Yes, Captain."
Richard took out a small data storage device from his pocket and passed it to El Erf past Tessa. El Erf didn't stand on ceremony after receiving the information. He took out his personal terminal, plugged it in, and began to interpret the information.
After El Erf received the information, Tessa looked at Xiao Ran again and said, "There's a lot of information in the information. It will take some time to interpret it all. Why don't I introduce you to the situation of the dimensional beast first?"
"The first time the dimensional beast appeared was half a year after you left. It appeared in Tokyo. As no one expected such a thing to appear, no one had the time to react immediately after the dimensional beast appeared. That dimensional beast caused a lot of damage and sacrifices. In the end, the Japanese paid a certain price and eliminated it."
"After that, the Japanese started a research project on dimensional beasts, but the appearance of dimensional beasts didn't attract the attention of other countries. It was treated as an independent special event. Only the Mithril Federation of the United States maintained more attention on it."
"The second appearance was half a month later. This time, the location was still Tokyo. The number of dimensional beasts increased from one to three. They were also confirmed to be early-stage dimensional beasts. This time, the Japanese paid a greater price and with the support of the Mithril Federation of the United States of America, the damage was limited to a certain extent."
"The appearance of the dimensional beasts made the various countries start to look at the matter of dimensional beasts again and again. They sent many research teams to Japan, hoping to conduct research on dimensional beasts together. Furthermore, because the dimensional beasts appeared in Tokyo twice in a row, the city of Tokyo began martial law and took the initiative to evacuate. The dimensional beasts that appeared in Tokyo twice in a row misled us into thinking that Tokyo was the main location of dimensional beasts."
"However, for the third time, more than a month after the second dimensional beast appeared, dimensional beasts appeared in more than 15 locations on Earth. The total number exceeded 50. The various countries mobilized a lot of military forces to eliminate them. Finally, the dimensional beast incident became a global incident and began to receive the true attention of various countries."
"After the fourth dimensional beast appeared, the human alliance army against the dimensional beasts began to be established. However, it had already been more than four months since the first dimensional beast appeared. Due to the huge contribution made by the Mithril Federation of the United States of America in eliminating the dimensional beasts, the Mithril Federation of the United States of America became the main force of the alliance army and received the recognition and support of various countries."
"After that, dimensional beasts appeared frequently, and what we call evolved dimensional beasts appeared. They have a larger body, strength, and defense. They became the main force of the dimensional beast horde from the minority in the beginning."
"Until now, the frequency of dimensional beasts' appearance has been confirmed to be between 15 days to a month. The number is also increasing, but we have no way of knowing where the dimensional beasts came from. We haven't been able to obtain much information about dimensional beasts from our research. The research has been progressing very slowly. We don't know why dimensional beasts appeared on Earth, but I know that these dimensional beasts definitely don't belong to this world."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Regarding the dimensional beasts, we will also do our best to assist in the investigation. If we obtain any information, we will share it with the Mithril Federation of America."
El Erf looked at his personal terminal and said after Xiao Ran finished speaking, "I've submitted all the information. The Burning Legion replied that the dimensional beast wreckage recovered has been sent to the research institute in Delandar. Law, Uzzes, and Kiliam have already led people to assist. The warship will arrive at our location in half an hour and ask if we need to prepare anything else."
"Half an hour? That's fast." Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for a regular MS. Just prepare a few AS and some transformation fighters. Yes, add a set of Guardians and some unmanned reconnaissance drones."
El Erf nodded and fell silent. At the same time, he transmitted Xiao Ran's words back to the Burning Legion in the universe.
Xiao Ran looked at Tessa. "Get ready. The things I gave you will arrive in half an hour."
Tessa was a little surprised. "A warship?"
Xiao Ran smiled. "Yes, a real space warship. Consider it a token of my appreciation. The main thing is that no matter what happens on that warship, at least you will be safer. It's the same model as the warship you saw just now, and you will be equipped with the corresponding body. I guess you really need to familiarize yourself with the new warship, but don't worry, there will be a professional to teach you how to use it."
This gift was a little too big for Tessa. She looked at Xiao Ran in a daze, unable to recover from her shock.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Let's not talk about the dimensional beasts for now. I need to wait for the results of the analysis of the dimensional beasts to confirm some things. I want to know how Chidori Yao is doing."
"Oh." Tessa came back to her senses and quickly said, "Chidori Yao has always been under the protection of Mithril, and Chidori Yao is mainly protected by Sosuke Xiangliang. The dimensional beast incident in Tokyo didn't have much of an impact on her. Just half a year ago, Chidori Yao lived in Mithril for three months and only returned to Japan when school reopened. She is still in her third year at Array Daiichi High School."
"Yes." Xiao Ran lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "You don't mind using your relationship with Mithril to arrange for two people to enter the same class at Array Daiichi High School, right?"
Tessa looked at the people standing behind Xiao Ran and nodded hesitantly. "Of course."
Xiao Ran said, "Chi, Mingye, just the two of you. You can also experience a normal high school life. You must protect that girl well and observe her mental state. If anything special happens, I allow you to use any means to ensure her safety."
Imperial Sword Mingye responded. Ryukino pursed his lips and smiled. He also nodded gently. "We will take good care of that girl."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. "Bring another landing team over. I'll have to ask Mithril to arrange a place for us to stay. After all, we don't have the money we can use on Earth."
After that, the conversation in the reception room became much more relaxed. Mithril didn't continue asking about Xiao Ran's situation. Instead, it was Xiao Ran who asked about Mithril's recent situation. The sparse conversation quickly passed for about half an hour. After El Erf reminded him, Xiao Ran stopped the conversation and stood up.
"Alright, the gift has arrived. Shall we go take a look?"
"Okay." Tessa didn't refuse. She nodded happily and stood up. Behind her, Richard, Melissa Mao, and Andrew looked at each other again. They could tell what each other was thinking.
On the deck of the Son of the Dan Slave, the members of the ship ran out one after another. They looked at the two warships with surprise and admiration. One was the Purple Wind, which was purple in color. The other was a warship that had just been removed from the fleet. It was black in color. As for its name, it was hard to say if it was called the New Son of the Dan Slave.
Xiao Ran and Tessa stood on the deck with a group of people. He pointed at the black warship and said to Tessa, "This is the warship. From today onwards, the right to manage it is yours. No one else has the right to give any orders or operate it. To be more precise, although this warship is a gift to Mithril, it is actually a gift to you."
"The other warship will temporarily be the Purple Wind, which I will take when I am on Earth. You can decide what the name of your warship is."
"This … Are you really giving it to us?" Tessa was, of course, happy. This proved that Xiao Ran valued her. However, she still found it hard to understand. "But if you give this warship to us, won't it be the same as telling us your secrets?"
Xiao Ran waved his hand. "There is no such thing as secrets. I think only secrets are secrets. At least for you and me, and with Renard as the middleman, these things are not secrets between us. They are yours since they are given to you."
"Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Tessa looked at the black warship with joy. It wasn't that she didn't value the Son of the Dan Slave, but it was because this warship was given to her by Xiao Ran. "Can I?"
"Since it's already yours, why not? Let's go." Xiao Ran smiled and looked at the carrier ship that was flying over the deck of the black warship. The carrier ship had no wings, but it was powered by anti-gravity equipment. When the carrier ship slowly landed on the deck and opened the hatch, Xiao Ran turned to the crew of the Son of the Dan Slave and said, "If anyone wants to see it first, you can come with us. From now on, this ship will be your new home."
Richard walked up to Tessa and said, "On behalf of the entire Mithril, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Xiao Ran. However, there is no rush to familiarize yourself with the new warship. They will have plenty of time to familiarize themselves with it in the future. For now, it is more appropriate to select a few people from one department to familiarize themselves with the ship."
"Alright." Xiao Ran nodded and smiled. "Then I won't interfere with your internal affairs. Tessa and I will go first. We will take the second ship when you have selected your people."
"Let's go, Tessa." Xiao Ran smiled at Tessa, then turned to El Erf and the others behind him and said, "You guys should also return to the Purple Wind. Xinye can follow me."
Richard also made the arrangements. "Melissa, you will go with the captain."
Xiao Ran roughly knew what Richard was thinking, so he just smiled and did not say anything. With Tessa, Xinye, Melissa, and Xiao Ran, the four of them boarded the carrier ship and headed to the warship that was going to be gifted to Mithril.
After entering the warship, they saw the members of the Mithril team who were specially arranged to teach Tessa how to use the small MACROSS class warship. Along the way, these people explained the various aspects of the ship's data, functions, and so on. Tessa listened quietly and tried her best to remember. On the other hand, the shock on Melissa's face had not disappeared since she boarded the ship.
