With such a start, the subsequent communication became very smooth.
One party thanks him and the other party apologizes.
It was Lloyd who thanked Rean for his previous help.
Material support, as well as a special communication device made by Jean Tio to be used with witch spells.
It was precisely because of the existence of this device that the Support Section, which was locked in a birdcage, was able to break through the blockade and get in touch with the outside world.
It calmed Randy's heart, calmed Tio's heart, and even successfully untied Yuna's heart when she was most hesitant and helpless, allowing her to cheer up again.
Each and every one of these things, Lloyd kept them all in mind.
He and Rean have a common trait. They rarely put their own affairs on themselves, but they take the affairs of others, especially their companions, very seriously.
So Lloyd had to say thank you, and he had to do it very formally, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
It was precisely for this reason that Rean had to apologize.
For the fact that he helped invade Crossbell, and for what he would do next.
Especially for the latter, Rean's goal is a real happy ending, relevant or irrelevant, and it is best if no one dies.
No one dies, which means that the power of the empire will not be damaged and the stability of its rule is unshakable. Crossbell, who has gradually begun to identify with the empire, will only continue to follow Rufus's policy, and will be completely assimilated by the empire in the end.
This is the reason why Rean said there is no chance of independence anymore.
Rean has always admired Royd and admired the efforts and will of the support department. This time he accepted a favor from Qia. He was unwilling to hide it from Lloyd and others due to circumstances and reasons.
Even if you will be resented by them, even if you become their enemy after a brief friendly relationship.
Of course, this scene didn't happen in the end.
After Rean roughly introduced the mechanism of the operation of the empire's treasure, Lloyd showed the same expression as Chia and sighed deeply:
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. The mechanism of war, the wars sweeping the world, many, many lives... No matter how much we love this land, we cannot sacrifice so many innocent people in exchange for independence. opportunity - even if you miss this opportunity, you will never get another chance."
Arios on the side only said one sentence: "Something to do, something not to do."
In a word, it can be said that the heroic trajectory of the support department, or every soul figure, Destiny Child.
Estelle, Lloyd, Rean.
They are all such people who stick to the bottom line and abide by their principles.
Even if they know that some practices can get more benefits, they will not do them.
Like former President Dita, who hired "Red Constellation" to attack Cross Bell to arouse public anger and seek independence, they will never do it. Not only will they not, they will try their best to stop it.
You can call them stupid, but it is because of this stupidity that they become heroes.
In the past, Arios also went astray because he lost this bottom line.
After hearing this, Li En stood up and performed an Eastern etiquette he learned from the Sword Immortal to show respect to the two of them.
Lloyd and Arios also stood up and returned the greeting.
Rean respects them, why don't they respect Rean.
Wanting to bring peace to the world and saving the common people, this courage and pattern are much greater than theirs.
Such people deserve respect even if they are enemies.
After straightening up, Lloyd said to Rean: "The Empire's invasion of Crossbell is not your responsibility. I am the 'Investigator' and I will not just look at the surface of things.
From the beginning of the Imperial Civil War, no, every step before that was carefully planned and had nothing to do with your own wishes. However, you still use your own will and your own way to help Crossbell and help us. This is what I really admire.
Maybe we will stand on different sides and be hostile to each other in the future. But when it comes to preventing wars and saving lives, we are the same. Our Support Section is willing to be your help, as long as you don't feel that our strength is insufficient. "
"how could be."
Rean smiled. The combination of Arios and Lisha Mao alone was enough to frighten people.
"Can I ask, what are your plans for the future? If the future mentioned by the 'Taoist Master' really comes to pass."
"I've already told Yuna the answer.
I will not give up on our goals, but I will not become like former President Dita.
I have been watching the changes in Crossbell during this period. The Empire did a lot of bad things during the occupation, but it also did a lot of good things for Crossbell.
Economic recovery, social stability, and the status of the people. Although he is unwilling to admit it, Crossbell is no longer caught between the two major countries and the people have gradually gained the same status as the people of the empire. This is the biggest change compared to the period of autonomy.
No matter what Governor Rufas thought, this change was irresistible.
If there really comes a day when the people recognize the Empire from their hearts and regard themselves as a member of the Empire, and the Empire makes Crossbell better, we will disappear from the people's sight.
But as long as the empire hurts Crossbell, we will stand up and speak out for Crossbell and demonstrate Crossbell's will.
This is my idea, but I have only communicated it with Randy. I haven’t had time to tell other people, and I don’t know if they will object. "
At the end of the sentence, Lloyd's eyes moved, first to Ellie, and then to Lisha, who was a few meters away. The latter remained silent, as quiet as a sculpture.
When looking at Arios, the latter showed a smile: "Don't look at me, the people come first. This has always been the philosophy of the Guerrilla Association. Although I have withdrawn from the association, I have no intention of changing this concept. You and Li What En does is what I want to see."
"I knew you would say that." Lloyd also smiled. Although he had a baby face, he smiled more like a child.
"That way I have nothing to worry about."
Rean was relieved. Although I have prepared myself to not be understood and become enemies in the future, it is always a joy to be understood and to turn enemies into friends.
After getting the crucial second gift and formally establishing a cooperative relationship with the Support Section, there was only one thing left.
"Brother, I have a request."
"I know."
"Hachiba Ittōryu" are all masters of sensing changes in aura. Arios could sense Rean's movement.
"I heard that you competed with Brother Cassius a month ago. If you don't take the initiative to speak up, I will be very disappointed."
After all, I am also a sword master.
