Chapter 414 Four Questions
Facing Soshyan’s pressing steps, Talos remained silent.
Now he just wants to find out the answer to a simple question: Whose side does Sevatar stand on? The corpse emperor on the golden throne? Or some other force?
And what is the position of the guy named Soshiyang in front of him?
Although the question is simple, the answer is not simple.
Years of struggling within the Eye of Terror gave Talos the instinct to distinguish the corrosive effects of subspace, but when facing Soshyan, he could not feel the changes in subspace energy at all, not even the smell of the soul. , this is another incredible thing.
He was not a psyker, but at this moment he felt that somehow he felt something beyond mortal senses.
But no matter what, he has never had a headache since he was caught.
"Talos, I hope you can understand one thing, you are dead."
Soshyan's eyes stared at him tightly, unblinking.
Then Talos nodded and stared at the corner at the edge of the cell. He could feel that every word Soshyan said was full of secrets and choices that had been made in the shadows for a long time.
He could feel this fact in the dark cell.
“Can I ask a few questions.”
Soshiyan smiled as if facing an imperceptible joke.
He stepped closer and took off his hood.
Beneath the shadows, his face was stoic and devoid of the dullness and woodenness that characterized most Space Marines - at least in part.
Based on his appearance, Talos probably guessed that this person had a straightforward personality, an aura that was accompanied by wisdom and confidence, and that he cared very much about brotherhood.
In other words, this is the face of a person that people are willing to trust and follow until the last moment.
If I have to make a comparison, his temperament is very close to the Black-Hearted King Huron or the Predator Abaddon whom Talos has met.
Yes, although Soshyan hid it very well, or he didn't realize it himself, he actually had a certain heroic temperament.
Although this man is still a nobody now, as long as time allows, he is bound to become a force that shakes the galaxy.
He is the fulcrum around conquest and loyalty, the power that allowed Abaddon to unite the forces of the Eye of Terror and create the Black Legion, and now that same power is hovering over Sosh Yang's head.
Looking into the other person's eyes, Talos found that the other person also had black eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to feel that he was staring at the former Warmaster - Horus in a nobler time.
While Talos was in a daze, Soshyan turned around, walked to a chair in the corner, and sat down.
"Ask, if it can make you feel a little more at ease, but I will only answer you four questions."
Talos stared at the imaginary distance, thinking about various strategies in his mind - about the problems and possibility.
“Who are you.”
“I told you, I am the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights, Soshyan.”
“A Golden Throne Will the Chapter Master below be mixed up with Sevatar? Also, I am not blind. The one who used the two swords before was obviously using the method of the Third Legion. Don't try to deny it. I have had many encounters with them. Second hand.”
Soshyan smiled slightly, and this smile looked extremely mysterious in the shadows.
"Then I also warn you, once I answer your question, no matter what happens afterwards, you will not be able to leave again."
"It sounds like you will let me go if I don't ask. I'll go that way."
Taros shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Okay, let me answer you, my second identity is the acting commander of the Eleventh Legion."
For a moment, Talos's body froze.
Then, he slowly spit out a cloud of white mist between his clenched teeth.
“It’s unbelievable.”
“You didn’t doubt what I said?”
“I learned a truth in subspace. Language that is too absurd is often rejected. It’s true, I believe what you said.”
Talos stared at Soshyan's face.
“I have become interested in you. I have been curious about and thought about the two missing legions, but the original body strictly prohibited any discussion of those two legions. This is also what he It’s a rare moment to obey his father’s orders. Can you tell me more?”
“There will be opportunities in the future.”
Soshyan crossed his arms and tilted his head to examine the prophet. .
"Okay, do you have any more questions?"
"How did you meet Sevita?" "It was by chance at first, but now I don't think so."
Subsequently, Soshyan will encounter Sevita. The series process is briefly stated.
After listening, Talos frowned and expressed solemnly.
“It’s really too much of a coincidence, so you don’t know anything about what happened to him in the past?”
"Is this the third question?"
Talos shook his head.
“Forget it, let’s put that aside for now.”
Then he started to ask the third question.
“Why are you looking for me?”
"Because the Legion's flagship is lost, if we want to find it, we must first find the weapons of the original body. According to speculation, it may be buried in Ullanor, but now we don't know where Ullanor is, it has disappeared."
"Ulanor——"
Talos chewed on this place name. Of course, he was no stranger to this place. Any soldier who had experienced the Great Expedition would not be unfamiliar with it.
“You don’t have any clues about how it disappeared?”
“Yes, part of it, we speculate that it still existed during the Second Beast War, and then it changed from its original The location disappeared, perhaps related to the Mechanicus.”
"I understand."
Taros nodded.
“You hope I can see its existence.”
“Yes.”
“It was Sevatar’s idea, right.”
"That's right."
Taros snorted coldly, then closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.
And Soshiyang was not in a hurry, just waiting for him.
Five minutes later, Talos opened his eyes.
“The last question is, what exactly are you going to do.”
Soshyan stood up and walked to him.
"Complete my mission."
The two looked at each other, both in competition and testing.
Finally, Talos withdrew his gaze first.
“But why should I help you.”
When Talos said this, he was actually asking questions knowingly, because the other party held his life, which was the biggest bargaining chip.
But he still had to ask, he wanted to see if this man would threaten him with death.
But Soshyan made a choice that Talos had not expected.
"Have you had any dreams since you were brought here? Talos."
"Yes."
"About what?"
"I dreamed about them...my brothers."
"Who are they? Your brothers, who are they?"
Taros replied through gritted teeth.
“The dead ones.”
