Chapter 1193 Gardening World
Hearing Veronica’s words, Soshyan was a little surprised.
"Is it artificial?"
Wearing a robe, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a file recording the history of the galaxy. Although there were many things, Soshiyan He still tried his best to spend some time with Veronica every day - after being together for a long time, he found that the other person was unexpectedly afraid of being alone.
“Looking at the arrangement of the planets, I know that this is a star system modulated by ancient gardeners. There should be an ancient ecological maintenance system inside each planet. Otherwise, how could it be possible for you to He recovered so quickly from the devastation.”
Veronica raised her head slightly, looking very proud.
"Gardeners?"
"In the era when you were still single-celled organisms, our great gardeners had used galaxies as flowerbeds to carve out the most perfect world in their minds. But after the Great Fall .Everyone has become a warrior, and there are no more gardeners.”
After speaking, Veronica’s mood seemed to become a little depressed, and her voice became much softer.
Soshiyan randomly put the book aside and said:
"I didn't take you with me to the flagship last time. I'll take you there next time."
"Hmph, what's there to see in a battleship full of traces of the Necrontyr."
She said this, but Veronica's mood was obviously better, and her tone became much lighter.
But then, she seemed to have thought of something, stood up and walked to Soshyan, then sat side by side with him, and whispered:
"Most of the Necrontyr's technology comes from the Star God. The Great Prophet said that although most of the Star Gods have been eliminated, there are still some individuals with ulterior motives, so be careful.”
"Does that prophet know the Star God very well?"
"I don't know either, but the Great Prophet often mentioned something about the Star God to me in the past days. Forget it, talking about this is boring to death, Come and play chess with me!”
Playing chess is one of the most common ways for Veronica to pass the time, but what she plays is not the common regicide chess in the human empire, but a kind of chess according to her. It is a black and white chess game that "contains the principles of the operation of the universe".
Of course Soshiyang doesn’t understand, but in order to make this spirit tribe live in peace, he can only bite the bullet and learn from her at the same time——
At first, he basically lost. , he would be happy every time Veronica won, but as time went by, Soshyan lost longer and longer, and even occasionally managed to draw.
".About the Star God, what else did the prophet say?"
Veronica's previous words aroused Soshyan's great interest, so much so that he always remembered it even when he played chess, because he had never Judging from various clues, including those inexplicable memories, it is very likely that Gray Marrow is not only related to the Necrons, but also to the Star God.
"They are all bits and pieces. If you ask me to tell you, I can't tell you anything."
"Then have any Star Gods had contact with the Empire?"
“You said this and I remembered something. The Great Prophet mentioned that your original body, a guy named Guilliman, once activated a lighthouse. That lighthouse was a way for the Necrontyr to achieve rapid development. A method of interstellar communication, and the core of that lighthouse is a fragment of the C’tan called Lord Zahurash.”
"Lighthouse? Commander Zahulash? Is there anything special about it?"
"The Great Prophet didn't say there was anything special about it, but just emphasized that this star god has probably been there for a long time. It has recovered to a sufficient scale, and even its original fragmentation may have been a disguise. In short, it is one of the top three dangerous guys."
"That's right——"
Suo. Shi Yang didn't know what he was thinking, and even the chess piece in his hand stopped.
Veronica raised her head and glanced at him, then patted his hand holding the chess piece. "Hey, what are you planning? Since the Great Prophet said it is so dangerous, it must not be simple. Don't take the risk."
"Where are you thinking, I'm not that stupid."
The two were silent for about three minutes, and Soshyan's defeat in the chess game was obvious.
But Veronica suddenly gave up, threw the chess piece on the chessboard, and then whispered to Soshyan:
"Can you take me to a planet? I have already It’s been a long time since I’ve breathed natural air.”
Soshyan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay."
Veronica chose a planet called Behdad. Soshyan did not wear power armor and was transferred directly from Dietrian. A shuttle was set up, with the servitor in charge of driving it, and the two of them headed directly to the surface of the planet.
It can be seen from high-altitude orbit that although this world was attacked by a virus bomb more than a thousand years ago, its ecological environment has recovered well. The planet has three continents, including a large ocean. Stretching mountains and plains and hills sandwiched between them, only one of the continents still has brown stains visible to the naked eye. That is the place where the virus bomb landed, and it is also the only place on the planet that has not yet recovered.
Soshyan chose to land the shuttle on the largest continent near the ocean.
The moment the hatch was lowered, a smell came in from the wind. It was a faint smell of the ocean and ancient earth, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
This is the spring of the planet. The temperature and humidity are very suitable, the light is sufficient, and it is not strong. The clouds in the sky outline many outlines on the earth——
"Smells like home."
Veronica looked at everything in front of her with almost joy. The huge grassland dotted with sparse trees and flowers extended to the pale peaks in the distance, and finally disappeared in In the forest at the foot of the mountain, on the other side is the rocky coast. The blue sea constantly washes the water onto the beach, stirring up layers of white foam.
Looking up, it was what Veronica missed the most, the pure sky.
She no longer remembered how blue and how wide the sky was.
I was even so excited that tears squeezed out of my eyes.
Soshiyang stood behind the Eldest girl. It was the first time in this period that he saw the other girl being so happy, and he felt a lot more relaxed. Then he took off his hood and exposed his face to the sun.
One of the reasons he chose this place was that there were no human settlements nearby, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
At this time, Veronica suddenly turned around and grabbed Soshyan's hand.
"Come."
Then Soshyan was taken to a small hill, where you could clearly see the forests and mountains in the distance.
Veronica and Soshiyan told many things about her, including the first time she could remember leaving the Ark and traveling to a world that was the home world of the Wild Eldar.
At that time, she was standing in a similar place, looking into the distance. The scenery was breathtaking: the mist-filled canyon, the vast forest, and the endless blue. The deep ocean.
But amid it all, she remembered the sky was so wide that it seemed endless.
Since then, she has seen other worlds, other wonders, and climbed many mountains, but nothing compares to the view across the cold ocean and into the new world.
