(There's another chapter in the evening, and the next chapter will explain the real reason why Xiao Ran invited Law Juel. Look forward to it.)
Xiao Ran frowned and looked at the resistance army of the Dawn Desert who surrounded the car with weapons. Law, beside him, shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand. Looking at Xiao Ran, he seemed to be asking what was going on, which made Xiao Ran a little embarrassed. After all, he invited Law, but he didn't expect to be treated like this.
"It's okay." Xiao Ran whispered to Law, then got out of the car and asked loudly to the surrounding resistance army: "What's the matter?"
A resistance army came forward, looked at Xiao Ran with dissatisfaction, and said: "You were alone when you left. Why did you bring back a person? Who is this person? And this is the base of our resistance army. What if the person you brought back is an enemy, or you were followed? "
Xiao Ran patted his head in realization. Maybe it was because he was too relaxed just now, or because he had never experienced hiding like the resistance army, so he didn't think about it at all. What the other party said was completely reasonable, which made Xiao Ran have no refute at all.
He had to apologize again and again: "I'm sorry, I neglected it. This person is my old friend, a waste merchant, not Zaft. When we came back, we also paid attention to whether there was anyone following us. You can rest assured that if there is a problem, I can take full responsibility."
"Waste Merchant?" The resistance army looked at Law, frowned and nodded: "Since it's a waste merchant, there's no problem. We also have some dealings with waste merchants. But please pay attention next time. Although you are our guests, if you make a threat to us, we will also eliminate the threat. "
Xiao Ran quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"Well." The resistance army who spoke nodded, waved to the others behind him, and said loudly: "Those who have nothing to do quickly go out and patrol, and ask the people over there if the Zaft army has done anything strange."
Watching the resistance army leave in a hurry, Xiao Ran also turned to Law and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have brought them a lot of trouble."
"I think so, too." Law nodded and put his hands behind his head: "But it's not easy for them either. They are still struggling to resist Zaft in such a situation. In fact, I think as long as the two sides have a good talk, there is no need to fight here at all."
"If everyone thinks like you, of course, it's a good thing." Xiao Ran shook his head and made a gesture of invitation to Law. After Law kept up with him, he continued: "But there are always some people who want to provoke the tense nerves of all sides for their own interests, keep making small scale battles in various places, and then expand the scale of the battle to involve the whole world's war, they can also get more benefits from it."
Law asked: "Are you talking about those arms dealers' arms?"
"You know?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised.
Law nodded: "Of course, those people are big customers of our waste merchants. Many of the things we recycle will be bought by them, either disassembled for research or remanufactured."
The two talked all the way to the front of the passage into the Archangel. After Xiao Ran asked Law to wait for a while, he contacted the bridge from the communicator at the entrance of the passage, and transferred the communication to Mary: "Captain, I have a friend who wants you to give him permission to board the ship."
"Friend?" Mary's surprised voice came from the communicator, and suddenly the communication display in front of Xiao Ran lit up. He saw Mary's image looking at him strangely: "Do you have friends in this place?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Law, who was looking around, and then said to Mary: "A friend of the waste merchant, I hope to show him around the Archangel, and of course, Gundam."
"Gundam!?"
She thought that Xiao Ran just wanted his friend to come to the Archangel to have a look, but she didn't expect that even Gundam would want to see it. Mary knew that Xiao Ran would not be so out of line, and she also knew that this visit and look was not really about using the eyes, but really understanding. This made Mary stunned, but then she said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Ran, the Archangel and Gundam are the secrets of the Earth Army. How can this be?"
Xiao Ran shook his head. He invited Paul Jule to the Archangel for a deeper purpose, but at this time, he couldn't explain too much to Mary. He just said: "I guarantee with my life that my friend will never reveal half a word of what he saw. If, and I mean if, before the Archangel and Gundam are made public, or before you confirm that you are abandoned, as long as a little bit of the secrets is leaked from my friend, you can pick up the gun in your hand and shoot me dead at any time."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, not only was Mary stunned, but even Law, who seemed to be indifferent, turned to look at him in amazement. Although it was only the first time they met and had just met, Xiao Ran's decisiveness and unquestioning willingness to believe in him moved Paul Jule a little. The suspicion that had been hidden in his heart about Xiao Ran's inexplicable invitation also dissipated at this moment.
Mary did not speak, but she was already wavering and wanted to agree to Xiao Ran's request. Seeing the expression on Mary's face, Xiao Ran said softly: "Believe me, Mary, you, the Archangel, and Kira are all very important to me. I won't let anyone threaten the Archangel, and I won't let anyone treat you as an abandoned pawn. "
After a moment of silence, Mary finally looked up at Xiao Ran through the monitor. "Well, I'll allow him to board the ship. I don't know anything else."
"Thank you." Xiao Ran smiled. A trace of warmth flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mary's figure, but it was quickly overtaken by rationality. After hanging up the communication, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and turned to look at Paul Jule. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. In order to avoid the kind of problem just now, I think it's better to inform the captain of this warship."
Paul Jule shook his head. "It's fine."
"Then, please." Xiao Ran walked through the opened door and nodded to Paul Jule.
After the two of them entered the Archangel, Xiao Ran spent almost an hour showing Paul Jule around the ship. Paul Jule was so excited that he couldn't stop writing and drawing on a piece of paper. "As expected of the most advanced battleship in the Earth Army. Many of its concepts are very successful. It's a multi-purpose battleship that is compatible with high-speed assault, airframe carrying, and heavy firepower. Our ship can't even be compared to this ship."
Xiao Ran smiled. "Hehe, it's good that you've taken a liking to it. I'll think of a way to get some specific information about the Archangel and give it to you secretly, but you can't leak it out."
"There's no need." Paul Jule put the pen and paper back into his pocket and shook his head with a serious face. "Because I'm curious, you've done enough for me. You're a true friend, a good person. You're willing to do so much for your friend and student, so I don't want to make things difficult for you. With the things I just wrote down, even if I can't make something similar to this ship, I can at least make something similar."
"So you're saying that you're an excellent mechanical engineer?" Xiao Ran asked deliberately.
"Of course!" Paul Jule said proudly. "Among the people I know, if I dare to say that I'm second, no one dares to say that they're first!"
Xiao Ran nodded and complimented. "My friend told me that Paul Jule is definitely a very good mechanical engineer. Recycled things are no different from new ones after going through his hands."
"Haha." Paul Jule laughed. Suddenly, he rubbed his hands and looked at Xiao Ran expectantly. "Then, shall we go take a look at that thing?"
