Chapter 1300 Shared Memories
When night fell and everyone left him, Soshyan, wearing a gray-white monk's robe, walked into the room that originally belonged to Veronica.
All the furniture here is arranged according to her preferences. When you enter the door, you can see the bookshelves on the left and right sides, which are filled with some strange books collected by Veronica from the folk. On the right is a A huge desk, carved from huge wood from the mountains.
The walls, floor and ceiling are all plain light cyan. The only decorations on them are light plant textures and some embellished picture frames - all of which are painted by Veronica herself. The paintings are mostly scenery and plants.
Other decorative furnishings in the house were chosen by Veronica herself. There were blooming flowers in several ceramic vases, and there were several dressing boxes and scattered hairpin earrings on the white dressing table. .
The window of the room was open, and as the door opened, the curtains blew slightly.
Veronica's bed is about ten steps away from the window. The quilt on it is still in a messy state. There are also a few books near the bedside, all of which are strange folk stories that Soshyan has never heard of. novel.
Soshiyan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
A second later, many memories of the past suddenly returned and were involved in his mind. Every moment was dazzling and real -
"Return to peace with your fallen gods. , Alien.”
"Hmph, your fallen empire has become like this precisely because it is filled with people with accents like yours."
"Saving you this time is considered a reward, but I will kill you as soon as possible after leaving. Get rid of you.”
“Ha, am I not a fool? Kill me after I let you out.”
“It didn’t take much time, right?”
"It's not a matter of time, you are eating alone and you no longer have a sense of trust!"
"When did you have the illusion that there is trust between us?"
"I'm a little thirsty."
"Eldar, do you think I am a nanny?"< br>
“I know that you humans Astartes have many taboos, but I am still curious, if you met her before you became an Astartes, what would you choose?”
"I will be a green pine that never fades, growing in the hot south, waiting for a snowfall."
"Before your tribe comes to pick you up, I can't let you leave. This is my bottom line."
"Hee hee, bottom line? Is there a line between use and conspiracy? These words come from you. The chapter leader who was sitting on the same bed with the 'alien' said it, but it was not convincing at all."
"Soshyan, if one day, someone tells you, I am. Alien, you have to kill me, will you do it?"
"Can we come together again in the future?"
"If there is time, we will."
< br>
After a long time, Soshyan opened his eyes again.
He stepped forward, his boots-clad feet stepping on the soft carpet without making any sound.
Soon, he noticed a lot of drawing papers scattered on Veronica's desk. He walked over and took a look and found that most of them were his image drawings, from a bust to his whole body in armor. There are all of them, some are scenes of him fighting, and some are scenes of him holding meetings or personally maintaining equipment.
Soshyan stared at the drawing papers, unexpectedly strong emotions welling up in his chest. Then he flipped through a few more papers and saw that Veronica actually included them in their adventure underground in Ullanor. The scene is drawn, and I have to say that the Eldar's long lifespan does give them enough time to develop their hobbies.
When he saw Veronica drawing herself proudly holding a glass tube filled with liquid, with an expression as proud as if she had captured some trophy, Soshyan laughed subconsciously.
But in the next picture, the smile on his face disappeared.
That was him lying on a stone with his eyes closed, and Veronica sitting beside him, leaning down and pressing her lips on his cheek.
"This-"
He stretched out his hand, wanting to say something but found that his throat seemed to be blocked, so he could only put away the drawing papers.
During this process, a black invitation dropped, with a rose wrapped around a blood-colored chain printed on it, and a faint fragrance exuding it.
Soshyan frowned and opened it, only to find that it was left for him and signed as Aurelia Malus.
The above content is very simple. If he wants to retrieve Veronica, then he should bring the Kane fragment found from Ullanor to Comoros and exchange things for people.
Kane's Fragment——
Soshiyan finally realized that the opponent's goal turned out to be this!
“It turned out to be like this.”
After finding the Kane fragment from Ullanor, Soshyan has been hiding it in a secret compartment in his bedroom, and no one except Veronica knows about it. After realizing that the other party was going to exchange Veronica for this, he felt relieved. This at least proved that she was safe - before the other party got the thing.
Suddenly, Soshyan put away the invitation and turned around.
A graceful figure appeared in the porch, and he was unaware of the arrival.
“You are full of pain and loss, and you don’t want others to see it.”
When Elena walked in, Soshiyang was thinking about how the other party found him, and he also learned from Armin that Elena controlled the extermination machine to eliminate the invading Dark Spirit Tribe. Likewise, She ordered Veronica to leave the convent fortress.
But Soshyan couldn't blame the other party. Firstly, this was obviously Veronica's own request, and secondly, the other party's identity was there.
As for how Elena controlled the extermination machine, Soshiyang guessed that it was related to Mu Hu, which also gave him an extra thought - it was okay to say it was a grudge.
"What do you want from me, Mrs. Elena?"
He looked intently at Elena, who was wearing black gauze.
"It's okay, I'm just a little worried about you."
"I'm okay too, Mrs. Elena."
"Then you need to put down the unimportant things, Soshiyang, there are still many legions. More important things are waiting for you to deal with and solve."
He glanced at her, went to the window and opened the curtains, letting the starlight shine on the floor, slightly illuminating the dark bedroom, and then crossed his arms. Leaning against the wall, he said:
"I will do what I should do, Mrs. Elena, you are overthinking it. I always put my responsibility first. If you really have any doubts about my ability, If you have any doubts, I would not mind passing on the position of Acting Legion Commander to Brother Randall.”
Elena sighed softly, and whispered quietly as she walked over:
"Are you still complaining that I didn't stop her?"
"No."
" Soshyan, if Veronica doesn't go, how big will the casualties of the new soldiers be? Don't you think the lives of those soldiers are worth this? The final control of the legacy is always with you, and Mu Hu can do it. They just activate their colonial defense mode, in which they attack all non-human species. Veronica will also be attacked if she is present. You need to stick to your faith and remember your responsibilities, facing some of these shocking things. The unpleasant part is that maybe the entire human empire will need you to save it in the near future. If you can’t firmly believe in this, then no one can.”
Soshiyang opened his mouth to answer. But in the end nothing was said.
"What's wrong? What makes you hesitant?"
Elena asked:
"Do you really want to put an Eldar above the Legion? Or - "
"It's a promise."
Soshiyang replied softly:
"If I cannot fulfill this promise, then it turns out that I am a coward. A coward cannot bear the burden you say, Mrs. Elena, no matter what else is between me and Veronica, at least Before ending that commitment, my heart will never be at peace. This is the truth I have realized."
Soshiyan turned around and scanned the towers of the distant hive through the window. and buildings, a sickly light shrouding them in a golden glow.
“A person with a defective heart will never be able to bear such an important task as saving the empire, right?”
“Yes.”
Elena is lighthearted He sighed, nodded, and then walked to Soshyan's side, staring into the distance together.
"You are exactly like him."
Elena looked back and glanced at the cold room, her eyes wandering to the desk and Soshyan's portrait.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to preach to you. My tone may have been a little intense just now, but I believe what I said is correct. To me, you are the only remaining fruit of Ctesiphon and the last one in the legion. Precious commander, you are too precious to take risks."
"You are trying to persuade me not to go to Comoros, right?"
"You can't afford to make any mistakes. The Legion has no room to lose, the sacrifice of those children is heartbreaking and I don’t want to see any more shrouds.”
Soshiyang's eyes were firm. He did not answer the other party immediately. Instead, after a long silence, he whispered:
"Tell me about him."
"What?"
< br>"Tell me how the original body saved the planet in the most critical moment."
Elena was silent for a while, then nodded and said softly:
"If you want to know——"
