Chapter 996: There was a beautiful lady in the past who was on the battlefield
"Well, what is this? Flame, sacred flame. Winged monster? That should be what it means. Cold blood, a sleeping giant beast, what is this?"
The more he looked at it, the more confused the tone of the corpse examiner became.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at his companion.
“Don’t you think these clues have anything to do with the Internet?”
"You just need to tell what you saw, and let the wizards take responsibility for the rest."
"To be honest, I don't even know how to describe it in words. It's probably like there is a burning place underground. In the place of the sacred flame, there is a door guarded by a winged monster. Behind the door lies a giant beast that needs cold blood to wake it up."
"That's it?"
"That's it, otherwise?"
As he said that, the corpse examiner's eyes stayed in the shadow of the house for a while, and then he quickly raised his head.
"Wait, it seems we are not alone."
Thor immediately heard the sound of a bolter being loaded, followed by the roar of the Chaos Lord.
"Guards, get to the anatomy room right away, right now!"
A heavily armed team rushed into the room.
“Spread out and find the hider!”
But Thor had exited the room long before the bodyguard peered into the shadows.
He returned to the way he came, quietly left the road where the candlesticks were placed, kicked open a maintenance opening, fell into a pile of wires and circuits, and then quickly left the temple.
He has gained enough today and needs to contact Soshyan from behind.
Leaving the temple, Thor walked for an hour, avoiding the patrols on the road, and came to a hidden cave underground. Inside, a tall figure was on guard.
"Welcome, Captain Thor."
After the red dot of the scanner crossed Thor's body, YT-001's dry voice sounded.
"Open the long-distance encrypted communicator, I need to send some information to Soshyan."
The cyborg obeyed Thor's order and took out a weapon from the metal backpack behind him. A lightweight communicator and set encryption parameters.
Saul walked to the communicator and began to enter two pieces of information.
The first one is to remind Soshyan that the bodies of the fallen soldiers must be recovered no matter what, because there are corpse examiners in the Black Legion.
The second one is for him to ask Veronica if the Eldar have any special flames, which are mainly used underground.
About five minutes later, Soshyan's reply came.
No problem with the first one.
The second article, after asking Veronica, I learned that the Eldar have a kind of ice flame, which is used underground in some ancient garden worlds, mainly to worship a symbol of their race in ancient times. The god of death, but this god has been lost for a long time. Before the great fall, there were no longer many believers, and even the name was lost.
One of the characteristics of this kind of flame is that it absorbs the surrounding heat, so once it is ignited, the surrounding area will be plunged into extreme cold and it will be difficult to extinguish.
After reading this information, Thor turned off the communicator and fell into deep thought.
YT-001 on the side remained motionless, as if it had fallen into stillness.
I don’t know how long it took, Sol sighed softly, took two steps back, and sat on a polished stone.
"Light the fire."
YT-001 raised his arm, and then a bright light flashed, and the extinguished bonfire beside Thor was rekindled. The light dispelled the darkness and illuminated again. The stone chamber.
Thor has been using this place as a shelter for four days. He knows that this is the last day and he will give up here later and go deeper underground to find an area with abnormal temperature. After sitting by the campfire for a while, and seemingly absorbing enough heat, Thor looked at YT-001.
"You are from the Great Expedition era, right?"
The cyborg did not move, but responded hoarsely:
"Sorry, The production date has been erased.”
Thor smiled and said meaningfully:
"It is a miracle that people like us can still survive to this day."
The cyborg was still frozen in place.
"Do you know why I only chose you as my follower? Because you have a feeling of being incompatible with this era, just like me. We are the same kind of people."
The other party still did not respond. .
"Do you know how I survived Istvan?"
Saul didn't care about the other party's attitude and kept talking to himself.
“I already thought I was dead, but they came to me in the dark, and I fell into a deep coma. I remember every face, every scream, every time Panic breaths occupied my consciousness. As I tried to forget these painful memories, I was taken to a place where I flew over the towering mountains, through the starry clouds and the dizzying peaks smeared by the moonlight. Then I came to the depths of a big mountain, where there seemed to be no division between light and darkness. Along the corridor, through the echo gallery, I was taken into the rumbling elevator until I was finally placed in a void carved directly out of the rock. In the empty cell, only the most basic human survival is satisfied. A rusty pipe in the corner of the room drips salt water, and a round pit in the opposite corner seems to be a container for waste."
Method Being in the cage of the past, Thor pointed at the corner of the stone room at random.
“On the first day, two people came, a man and a woman, dressed in plain clothes. They were wearing white coats that looked like lab coats. They checked my body and left. ”
"The next day, two forbidden soldiers came to see me."
Thor closed his eyes and recalled the scene at that time.
“I was taken to the interrogation room. A tongue depressor to prevent biting off my tongue filled my mouth with the antiseptic smell of rubber. An air tube was inserted into my throat, and a needle and needle were inserted into my throat. The leather hood of the electrode surrounded my head like a pilot's helmet, and bronze wires connected to the interface of the eye-recording equipment. The interrogation room was terrifyingly ordinary, like an extremely plain metal box, with no windows or mirrors. There is nothing distinctive either. Surveillance equipment surrounds me. Each device records the data of the changing rhythms in my body in real time. A device that glows like a scorpion's tail and makes a buzzing sound is fixed on the ceiling above my head. , it was also covered with suspended instruments, which looked very scary. Then the Imperial Army asked me, 'Are you ready to start? ', I nodded."
After that. The emperor's son sighed.
“On the third day, the Imperial Prime Minister came to me. He told me the nature of this war and what was about to happen, and hoped that I would join the Knights Errant——”
"On the tenth day, I saw Him."
At this time, the cyborg's body trembled slightly, followed by a sound that was too light to be noticed.
"Who"
Saul smiled slightly, and a face appeared in his mind.
A face, ancient and wise, ruthless and thin.
Countless identities can be seen in Him - warrior, poet, diplomat, assassin, businessman, killer, politician, mystic, father, tyrant.
Thor can see a part of Him, but He has thousands more of Himself.
However, what attracted Thor's attention the most were his eyes.
The color of those eyes is as refreshing as warm honey, like the purest gold coins.
“You should have guessed.”
The cyborg did not respond, and Thor just sighed, turned around, and faced the bonfire.
“Having said so much, let’s talk about you.”
Still the same, silent.
“Ten thousand years ago, the captain of the Conqueror, the flagship of the Twelve Legions, was a woman. In such a legion known for its violence, there was a female captain, which made many people unbelievable. , but she did a good job, and people later dubbed her the blood-stained rose, but no one knew that before her, there was another heroine in the empire who also drove a legion's flagship. The last wife the primarch married before returning to the empire, she was still called the Queen of Fire."
Thor raised his head and stared at the increasingly trembling body of the cyborg.
"Really? Queen Elena Alcaraz."
