Chapter 2540: Xiu Ze Naier

After a long journey, Xiao Ran, who finally completed all the tasks in the 19th District, returned to the capital of Butaria. The exhaustion of the journey did not affect Xiao Ran too much. He and Luciano accompanied Moni on the hospital bed. Ka left the plane, watched Monica leave under the care and protection of a group of medical staff and guards, and then turned to look at the long convoy on the other side and Bimax standing in front of the convoy.

In addition to Bimax, another person with a distinguished status in the empire, the prince of the empire, the prime minister, Shuzenel also stood in front of the convoy. With elusive thoughts and the ambition to be dictatorial to the world, he is also evaluated as the person closest to the existence of the emperor in the entire Butaria Empire.

In his eyes, there is no real enemy, and he is a person who will not cling to anything for selfish desires, that is to say, he will not use emotions to judge things but take interests as the top priority, as long as the desired goal can bring If there are positive benefits and effects, then he can give everything for it, including himself.

Such a person is definitely the most qualified candidate for a leader, even Xiao Ran has to admit that this guy is more qualified to be a king than Lu Luxiu, but his disregard for feelings, putting interests and utilization value first The advantage is also the disadvantage. To put it simply, it is inhumane, reason overwhelms everything, but it also holds ideals similar to Euphilia, and there are many contradictions between heart and behavior, and Xiu Zenier is very good. He is a very capable person, but he is too ambitious, has too many ideas, and lacks the necessary shining points of human nature. It is not surprising that he failed in the face of Lu Luxiu, the protagonist.

In the normal plot development, it once brought great danger to Lu Luxiu, but in the end he was controlled by Lu Luxiu's GEASS and finally became a loser, but this did not hinder this person's evaluation of him in Xiao Ran's eyes.

Xiao Ran also seemed to remember that Xiu Zenier didn't seem to have the slightest affection for Charles, and even planned a coup against Charles. He was also Lelouchiu's last opponent in this world. He existed like a big boss, and his abilities were beyond doubt. It is the management of the country and the mastery of diplomacy, but it is much better than Lelouchi, not to mention Nunnally and Uphelia who are still ignorant and don't know anything at all.

Xiao Ran could feel that Xiu Ze Naier's eyes were on him at this time, not only him, but many people's eyes were on him, the things contained in these eyes were too complicated, There are all kinds of gazes, whether it is admiration, scrutiny, or ridicule, there are many of them.

Luciano was used to being careless, and he didn't notice the strange atmosphere. After watching the convoy transporting Monica leave, he patted on the shoulder: "Let's go, I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness Huzner and Knight Bimax came to pick us up together, don't keep His Highness and the others waiting for too long."

Xiao Ran nodded lightly, walked quickly to the front of the convoy together with Luciano, and stopped in front of Bimax and Xiuzanelle, the expressions on their faces could be seen more clearly when they got closer and eyes.

Bimax has a complex face, with a little surprise hidden in his eyes. The indescribable expression and eyes are like seeing a junior grow up, but he is not gratified and proud, nor is he jealous or jealous. Resentment, even a little bit of loneliness and helplessness, in short, it is difficult to describe it in simple words.

As for Xiu Ze Naier, he was quite calm, with a fake gentle smile, showing his stability and kindness, but Xiao Ran could see the nature of the other's heartlessness at a glance.

As the person with the highest status, Xiu Ze Naier took the initiative very well. After Xiao Ran stopped, he didn't hide his appreciation and kindness for Xiao Ran at all. Before Xiao Ran saluted with a smile, he took the initiative to say: "Welcome Come back, Knight Lelouch, Knight Luciano, thank you for everything you have done for the empire in the 19th district. If I remember correctly, this is the first official meeting between Knight Lelouch and me. Daming, I have heard about everything you have done in the 19th District, and I can't help but feel admiration. Your feat has now spread throughout the entire empire, and you are worthy of the name of the Knights of the Round Table."

Li Ran saluted formally with one hand on his chest, and said politely: "His Royal Highness Xiu Zenier praised, these are what I should do, and I have to thank you for coming here to welcome us in your busy schedule."

Xiu Ze Naier raised his hand and waved it lightly, shook his head and said seriously: "For the heroes, warriors and heroes of the empire, I don't think that my appearance here is something to be thankful for, and I should be thanked You are the only ones who are right. It is precisely because the empire has warriors and heroes like you that the empire can be maintained and become stronger and stronger. As the prime minister and prince of the empire, you can serve as an example and representative to welcome the return of heroes , this is my honor."

Those two idiots of Luciano laughed, as for how much they thought that Huzner's words were true, or whether he was moved because of this, only the two idiots were the most concerned. Clear, of course Xiao Ran is at least a little clear.

But for Xiao Ran, the beautiful words of Xiu Zenier will not affect him. He just thinks that Xiu Zenier's superficial skills are really good. I don't know if this guy has touched himself.

However, Xiao Ran guessed some of Xiu Ze Naier's purpose, it was nothing more than gaining favorability and trying to win him over, but thinking about it the other way around, since Xiu Ze Naier can be controlled by Lu Luxiu's GEASS in the end, Moreover, he doesn't have the slightest affection for Charles, and he should even have plans for a coup d'état, so can Xiao Ran turn around and win over this guy for his own use, and ask Lu Luxiu to give him an order to obey Nunally or It was Geass ordered by Uphelia, allowing this guy to continue to exist as the prime minister to manage this country with many affairs, so that the two innocent girls, Nunnally and Uphilia, can break away from those complicated things and intrigues Coming out doesn't seem like a bad thing either.

In addition, Shuzenel, like Cornelia, has a high prestige in the empire and a lot of supporters. If Shuzenel can be turned into one of his own, it will be very difficult for the subsequent coup. It would be of great help.

"Your Highness is too polite, I feel flattered by your words." Xiao Ran smiled lightly, but he didn't look flattered in the slightest, and said very calmly: "As the Knights of the Round Table of the Empire, the sharpest sword in your Majesty's hands, I don't We didn’t complete the task entrusted by His Majesty, so we don’t deserve such praise from His Majesty, after all, we fled back to the capital in disgrace under the name of losers.”

Xiu Zenier's expression sank a little when he heard Xiao Ran's words. It didn't mean that he felt that Xiao Ran didn't show face or anything, but that he just aimed at the incident mentioned in Xiao Ran's words.

Xiu Ze Naier's eyes sharpened a little: "I can't say that, even if I suffered a failure in the end, the previous credits cannot be wiped out. It allowed the precarious 19th District to regain its foothold and expand to such an extent that it resisted The EU's countless attacks almost saved the whole situation by itself. No one dared to put the title of loser on every soldier who fought bravely in the 19th district. If anyone dared to do so, as I, the prime minister of the empire, will not allow it."

Xiao Ran sighed lightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

"This is not an understanding. If even a hero like you, Knight Luluxiu, is questioned, then there is nothing to look forward to in the future of this country." Xiu Zenell shook his head and said: " That defeat was not your problem, Knight Luluxiu. The enemy was stronger than expected. The cutting-edge combat power assembled by our country and the EU was no match for that machine. You have nothing to do with the knight repair, it is purely because the opponent's strength is so strong that it is impossible to resist with any means."

Luciano's grinning expression slowly became serious, he nodded deeply and said: "Where did such enemies... come from? When the organization called the Black Knights first appeared It's in District 11, how could it hold such a powerful force, when I think of being defeated without any resistance at that time, I still can't imagine the pilot of that machine, how did Pendragon do it? of."

Bimax, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Regarding this question, His Majesty also hopes to get an answer from you, and also wants to know from your mouth what happened that day, with the eyes of the Knights of the Round Table."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded: "Since Your Majesty is waiting for us, there is no need to waste time here."

Bimax nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Huzner suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, let's set off quickly, Knight Luciano, you and Knight Bimax are in the same car. I have long admired Knight Luluxiu, and this time I would like to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Knight Luluxiu."

Luciano didn't think anything was wrong. Bimax glanced at Shuzenel and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end, and Xiuzenier raised his hand and opened the car door behind him: "Please, Knight Lelouch."

Xiao Ran felt that there was something wrong with the situation between Huzner and Bimax, but he didn't know what happened between the two, what it meant, and what deeper meaning was hidden behind it. After a slight smile, Xiao Ran nodded, and took the initiative to get in the car without being polite.

Huzner has never been a person who decides his thinking based on emotion. This kind of fickleness makes him never think that Xiao Ran's behavior is any disrespect to him, and he looks at Bimax and Luciano indifferently. After the man nodded, he got into the car, and then a special person closed the door for him.

Xiu Zenier's car is much more luxurious than Bimax's car. It is a large and extended version, not only lengthened but also heightened. It is more like a luxury car with a luxury car on the front. It's quite spacious inside.

Xiu Ze Naier sat down directly after entering the carriage, opened the refrigerator next to him, looked at Xiao Ran, and asked with a smile: "Knight Lu Lu Xiu needs something to drink, there should be no chance for a long time in the nineteenth district." Get in touch with these things."

"Just whatever you want. There are indeed not so many places to enjoy on the battlefield, but Her Highness Cornelia has not treated me badly, so I can still relax from time to time."

Xiu Ze Naier smiled, took a glass and poured the wine with ice, handed the glass to Xiao Ran in one go, poured himself a glass of the same wine, and took a sip first without calling Xiao Ran, as if to prove something Something, then shook the wine glass and said slowly: "This is my favorite wine, the annual output is not much, even in my capacity, I can only get a small amount, Knight Lelouch, you have something today! It's a blessing."

"That's right, I want to enjoy the fine wine that even His Highness praises."

Xiao Ran smiled and took a sip of the wine in the glass. The taste can only be said to be good, but it is far from the level that makes Xiao Ran feel good. After all, the Burning Legion governs several worlds, and there are so many strange things in the huge universe. There are a lot of things, wine is the same thing, liu ran likes a kind of wine that he usually drinks very much, what he feels in his mouth is not hot but cold, which is also in line with liu ran's personality.

Next, the two talked about some irrelevant nonsense in the car, and Xiu Zenier didn't show much curiosity about the situation in the 19th District. It wasn't that he didn't want to know more about the 19th District. The situation, but there is no need to ask from Xiao Ran now, after all, Xiao Ran will say the same when he is in front of Charles, and Xiu Zenier does not lack this bit of patience.

And the reason why he wanted to chat with Xiao Ran alone was because Xiu Zenier wanted to know more about Xiao Ran, the name Lu Luxiu, and get closer to Xiao Ran.

But apart from that, Xiu Zenier also has other deeper goals. After the convoy set off, Xiu Zenier put the wine glass on the horizontal table and said, "Knight Lelouch was originally from District 11." People, I don’t know how much Knight Lelouch knows about the Black Knights.”

Xiao Ran shook his head: "I don't know much about it. When I was in the 19th District, the Black Knights didn't do many actions, and they never showed such power. If I have to say it, I can only describe it as mysterious." .”

"Mystery, that's right, it's indeed a mystery." Xiu Zenier smiled meaningfully, and said, "Like Knight Lelouch, you all represent mystery, and the core strength of the rebel army mysteriously disappeared. what?"

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiu Zenier: "Huh?"

"Hehe." Xiu Zenier said with a smile: "Because of the relationship between the Black Knights, His Majesty the Bimax Knight sent to the eleventh district to thoroughly investigate all the information about the Black Knights, it seems that the Bimax Knight temporarily took over I don’t know what you think of Knight Luluxiu’s position as the governor of Uphelia.”
