In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character named Gu Qingshan, a mecha scientist. He is a member of the Free Federation, and he has been working on a new generation of battle mecha, which he calls the Seraph Battle Mecha. He tells us that he is currently surrounded by an army of cannibalistic cannibals, and that he would like to hire Anna and von Hoed to help him escape. He offers to give the sacred kingdom the latest battle-mecha technology, which is a generation ahead of the current generation of mechas, if the kingdom will pay him a price. He says that he still has many more achievements in his hands, and asks that the kingdom pay him the appropriate price for his services. His father, who is the most powerful man in the free federation, is pleased to hear that his son has accepted his offer. He asks why anna has accepted the offer, and his father says that she will have to return to the free kingdom. He then asks why she still needs their protection, since she was captured by the church and suffered many hardships in her previous life.
