Chapter 40: Infiltration

  "That human being is indeed a breathtaking work of art, no doubt about it, his existence is just like a work of art."

  "With a mere human body, yet possessing powers that surpass those of vampires, speed that is simply unimaginable."

  "This is a miracle, among humans, there is no one better than him."

  "This is a miracle bestowed by heaven, don't you think so, Wang."

  When mentioning Akira Hyuga, Roid seemed to have entered a strange world, with crazy lights flashing in his eyes.

  I have no doubt that if Zero is still alive and caught, Lloyd will immediately take him away for research.

  Although Royd's talents lay in anatomy rather than dissection.

  I rubbed my temples, which were aching slightly, and said: "What I want to know now is his origin, not the mysterious place. If we talk about mystery, wouldn't it be more inexplicable for a human to be more mysterious than a vampire?"

  "No, no, no, this is a two-sided issue..."

  "Answer my question, Royd." Seeing that he seemed to have the intention of continuing to speak, I had to issue a final ultimatum, "Answer my question immediately."

  "At your command, great king."

  With elegant courtesy, Lord Royd finally came to the point.

  "Actually, I'm not very familiar with this person either. He was brought by Her Highness Cornelia herself and specifically pointed out as the candidate for Lancelot's position. At first, I didn't think much of him, but!!!!!!"

  Royd's voice suddenly rose several decibels, as if he was about to launch into a lengthy oration.

  Then I turned around and left.

  What a joke, my time is precious, I don't have the leisure to waste it with you here.

  Ignoring Royd's shout, I quickly left here, thinking all the way.

  Kong Yuli was brought back by Cornelia, so she could only go ask Cornelia.

  The only problem is that I don't know where Cornelia is right now, probably the only one who knows her current whereabouts is Lelouch.

  After all, they are enemies, if even the enemy doesn't know where they are, what's the point of fighting this war?

  After spending a few minutes finding Lelouch, I couldn't wait to ask: "Where is Cornelia?"

  "Huh?" Lelouch seemed taken aback by my sudden question, his face a picture of surprise.

  "I said, where is Cornelia, you know, you should know."

  "Of course." Lelouch, having regained his composure, gave a firm reply.

  "Tell me."

  "No way!"

  Refused without hesitation, neat and unbelievable.

  "Why."

  "This is what I wanted to ask, why should I tell you where Cornelia is."

  "We're accomplices, aren't we."

  "Needless to say."

  "So you should tell me where Cornelia is."

  ……

  "You're an idiot." Lelouch said.

  I frowned and said unpleasantly: "I don't have the time to chat with you, I urgently want to know where Cornelia is now, tell me immediately, Lelouch."

  "Are you ordering me? Great King!" Lelouch said with a hint of self-derision, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  I sighed and said: "Please tell me, where is Cornelia?"

  "Why look for her."

  "It's something very important, so important that if I don't go now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

  "Even if you die because of it?"

  Lulu suddenly said something that made me astonished, but I still nodded, "Even if I die because of this, I absolutely cannot stop my footsteps, I must go."

  If... if Cornelia really has what I need, if that kind of power really exists.

  Even if I really die from it, I absolutely won't back down one step.

  Because... I miss you so much, I wish I could return to your side immediately, Ywen.

  "I know." After half a beat of silence, Lelouch spoke out the address.

  I nodded and turned around to leave, just as I was about to exit, Lelouch's voice suddenly came from behind me, "Don't die."

  I paused for a moment, nodded and quickly walked away.

  ……

  Cornelia is now in a residential area opposite the Tokyo concession.

  Lulu's crazy attack has already made her and Shunarez defeat one after another, retreat from the concession and enter the residential area.

  To this day, neither she nor Shunazar have been captured, which surprises me greatly.

  It's no wonder that Shunazriel, facing such an overwhelming disadvantage, still hasn't wavered, and although defeated, seems to have preserved most of its strength, waiting for support from countries around the world.

  Preparing for a beautiful counterattack.

  Rurudo seems to be preparing to bring countless soldiers from the True Ancestral Country, planning to use District 11 as the stage to crush the world and win the final victory.

  In this war, both sides have bet everything.

  If Lelouch loses, it will probably take some time to turn things around.

  As long as she doesn't die, it's easy for Rururu to make a comeback, so she doesn't have too much pressure.

  But others are different, if the Anti-True Ancestor Alliance loses, it will be completely conquered, without any power to resist.

  A lifetime, a life, forever subjugated under the feet of the true ancestral country.

  After entering the residential area, Bretagne's soldiers became more numerous, gathering in groups of three to five, patrolling and being vigilant, as if they would lose their precious lives with just a slight relaxation.

  According to the address given by Lulu, I easily found their temporary base.

  But when you think about it, this place is really old and worn out.

  But it's also very familiar.

  The White Knights Guild, I didn't expect them to be in cahoots with District 11.

  This dilapidated temporary base in front of me is indeed the White Knight's base, a discarded trash that I and Lelouch abandoned.

  Without causing any alarm, I slipped through countless defensive lines like a ghost and infiltrated the interior.

  I have been here for some time and am very familiar with this place.

  And besides, as a vampire, how could ordinary humans possibly stop me?

  Infiltrating from within is really too childish.

  But what's giving me a headache is how to find Cornelia.

  Because I don't know where Cornelia is in that room, if I search for her one by one, it would probably be a waste of time.

  "Good afternoon, traveler."

  Just as I was getting a headache, a soft voice suddenly rang out.

  I was startled and turned around to see a man walking out from the corner with a familiar girl following behind him.

  "Surprised, aren't you? I'm still alive." The man chuckled.

  "No, I'm surprised that Karen is with you, Sora."
