Mina was very curious as to why this woman would appear in the Celestial Pillar with Xiao Ran. There were certainly others who did not know about Lax's identity, but Mina was definitely not one of them.
The Sahak family was originally responsible for dealing with Aube's dark side, so they definitely knew more about Lax than most people. They also knew that Lax was definitely not a simple character, and when she saw Xiao Ran's calm appearance, she put away her doubts. Mina believed that Xiao Ran would not be deceived by Lax's appearance, and he probably had his own reasons for bringing Lax to the Celestial Pillar. But all of this was just going with the flow. If Lax wanted to go to the universe, Xiao Ran just happened to bring her along. It was just that simple.
Although the Celestial Pillar was considered to be independent of Aube, everyone in the Celestial Pillar was once a part of Aube. Even in this situation, with Xiao Ran's identity, he still had to be respected and revered by others. Mina could ignore the etiquette she used to treat Xiao Ran and interact with Xiao Ran as an equal, but in front of so many people, Mina still had to act respectfully.
The two of them were brothers from the same family, so it could be said that they were quite close. There was no need for formalities in this meeting. After Mina made arrangements for Xiao Ran and his entourage, the official meeting went straight to the point.
The purpose of Xiao Ran's visit this time was very simple: to let the Celestial Pillar return to the embrace of Aube. In fact, on this issue, none of the upper echelons of the Celestial Pillar had any right to decide, and these people also knew the purpose of Xiao Ran's visit this time, but whether or not to return to Aube in the end still depended on Mina's choice.
Now, the Five Great Families no longer existed. Only Kajali and Kira were left of the Ashar Family, and only Mina was left of the Sahak Family. Of course, this was referring to the direct descendants of the family. The other family that had always maintained a neutral position and supported Xiao Ran after his return was completely preserved, and their main forces were not entrenched in the military or politics. The Seran Family and another family had disappeared from Aube forever.
As for Xiao Ran's opinion, it was very difficult for Mina to decide. After all, Aube was her hometown, but for some reason, she had to leave Aube and come to the Celestial Pillar. Kajali's actions in the past two years had indeed disappointed her, but she had never given up on paying attention to Aube. However, Xiao Ran suddenly jumped out and took over Aube, forcefully sweeping away the mess in Aube, and even fiercely resisting the Earth Army.
In particular, the matter of accepting refugees and trashy merchants made Mina feel the same way. It could be said that with Xiao Ran, Aube had been reborn. Moreover, she could also see that Aube was currently in a difficult situation. If the Celestial Pillar returned, it would definitely be of great help to Aube, and even now, the Celestial Pillar could not do without Xiao Ran's unconditional support. This was why Mina was so moved. If it was in the past when Kajali was in power, Mina would probably reject without even thinking about it. She did not want to implicate Aube's troubles in the Celestial Pillar.
However, what she was conflicted about was that she did not know how Xiao Ran would arrange for so many people in the Celestial Pillar, and she did not know how Xiao Ran would arrange for her. To Mina, Xiao Ran was definitely a person with a strong desire for control. If they returned, how would Xiao Ran's faction and Sahak's faction be integrated would be a big problem, and she did not know how Mina would be treated by Xiao Ran.
However, Mina's hesitation had long been seen through by Cruzet. He also knew what Mina was thinking, so he found an opportunity to tell Xiao Ran about it. But in fact, Mina was thinking too much. In Xiao Ran's mind, Aube should not have any faction struggles, and everyone should work together with a common goal. To strengthen Aube and strengthen the Burning Legion, it was that simple.
Xiao Ran also saw Mina as the actual manager of Aube. Because Xiao Ran was a participant, he could not effectively manage Aube during the mission period, so Mina would inevitably become the most powerful person in Aube aside from Xiao Ran.
After that, Xiao Ran and Mina chatted in private for a while. Xiao Ran also told Mina about his idea. In addition to Xiao Ran being the head of state, Mina would be the Prime Minister and lead Aube, while Bakirulu would be the other person Xiao Ran arranged in the army to limit Mina's authority. Of course, during wartime, she would also have to listen to the command of the Shadow War God, and with Mina's ability, it was impossible for Xiao Ran not to put her in an important position.
Similarly, Xiao Ran also told Mina everything that he had told Kajali, Lax, and the others. Mina, who had long known that Aube was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside, finally relented. In the end, after Xiao Ran struck while the iron was hot, she also agreed to let the Celestial Pillar return to Aube.
After Mina agreed to the proposal, everything became simple. The entire seventh floor of the Celestial Pillar began to prepare to return to Aube to join the Dawn Society, and all the strategic resources in the Celestial Pillar were even more than when Xiao Ran took over Aube. Most of these resources, especially the rare ones, were all transported to Aube to be used for the production of new models and the creation of special models.
The people who came with Xiao Ran stayed behind to work with the Celestial Pillar. After staying in the Celestial Pillar for two days, Xiao Ran also prepared to leave for D, but before leaving, Xiao Ran also extended an olive branch to Aube. Although he was expected to be rejected, Xiao Ran also used another method to tie the Giant Serpent's Tail to Aube, and that was to hire him. He would continue to strengthen the blue model without limit and use the money from the tournament to hire the Giant Serpent's Tail. To be precise, he was hiring Cong Yunqiu.
After Xiao Ran left the Celestial Pillar, Andrew parted ways with them and rushed to the secret base in the Lax universe first. Cruzet would continue to stay in the Celestial Pillar, while Aube and Xiao Ran took the Lax and several of Aube's ships to the location of D.S.S.D.
D.S.S.D was quite far from the Celestial Pillar, and it took two full days for the fleet to arrive. D.S.S.D, who had been notified earlier, had made all the necessary preparations. Even the boss of the D.S.S.D organization appeared in the space station to wait for Xiao Ran.
The four people sent by Xiao Ran also appeared as soon as Xiao Ran arrived, waiting for Xiao Ran.
After entering the D.S.S.D space station, both sides had a friendly conversation and expressed mutual support. Then, under the guidance of the D.S.S.D staff, Xiao Ran, Law, and Lax also took a good look at the space station. Xiao Ran saw many useful technologies, and Law was completely attracted by these technologies. He grabbed the people around him and couldn't wait to understand them.
Among them, Xiao Ran was most interested in the large-scale mechanical bionic nerves, the radiance transmitter system, the nano-repair system, and the light energy protection system that could freely attack and defend. These were all things that could enhance the body's combat effectiveness, endurance, and speed. Naturally, Xiao Ran paid special attention to them.
Xiao Ran also saw the completed Stargazer Gundam here and got to know the main person who developed this body, Selene Markgrave. Selene Markgrave was a beautiful, mature, and intellectual woman with long black hair. He also got to know the pilot of the Stargazer Gundam. Although he was only 16 years old, he could be called a scientist and had good piloting skills, Saul Luni Longi.
In fact, at this time, the D.S.S.D had been targeted by the United Alliance. They had taken a fancy to the Stargazer Gundam that had been tested several times, especially some of the technologies owned by the D.S.S.D, and these technologies could greatly enhance the technical strength of the United Alliance. If used on the MS, it could greatly enhance the combat ability of their MS.
Now, the D.S.S.D had been trying to negotiate with the United Alliance, but it seemed to be a little futile. This time, Xiao Ran visited the D.S.S.D, although it seemed to the people here that he was also spying on their technology, compared to the United Alliance, these people were more willing to give their technology to Aube in exchange for Aube's protection.
Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know about this. However, after calculating the time, he roughly guessed that the alliance would soon send troops to attack. That was why he chose such a time to come. Although it felt like he was taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Ran still acted magnanimously.
Indeed, Xiao Ran needed their technology, and he didn't hide this in the subsequent conversation. Instead, he made the conditions clear. They could either buy it or exchange it. As for what the exchange would be, they could continue to discuss it. However, Xiao Ran didn't expect the D.S.S.D to be even more anxious than him. The United Alliance's banditry was known to the world. The D.S.S.D wasn't very well liked by the United Alliance because they supported Xiao Ran in the last battle. This time, they also thought that the United Alliance would definitely use force to deal with them.
The eagerness of the D.S.S.D made Xiao Ran feel a little embarrassed, but Xiao Ran wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of his own people. He directly proposed that the two sides jointly develop and fully share the technology under certain restrictions. He also agreed to protect the D.S.S.D and also offered to provide a small island in Aube for the D.S.S.D to move their headquarters. Of course, the D.S.S.D didn't agree immediately.
