Chapter 1699 The Grand Inquisitor


Chapter 1699 The Grand Inquisitor

Both parties are obviously wary of each other, but they must pretend that everyone is working together. What a ridiculous arrangement this is. Marcus pondered all this when he walked into the triangular conference hall. , paused for a moment, and then noticed some figures already waiting under the arch.

Even within the Rebellion Order, the Purists and the Radicals are incompatible, and the Purists have their own differences, so everyone has their own position, and only a few of them stand together in twos and threes. Together.

There are currently seven inquisitors from the Rebellion Order participating in the meeting, and each of them can be described as bizarre.

For example, Mallan Thorne, who is wearing a coat and an iron mask like a torture device, with several probes protruding from the back of his head, is also a psyker and a radical. In the past ten years, When I came to the maelstrom, I seemed to be looking for something, and I often appeared in the core area of ​​the maelstrom.

There is also the only female judge here, Catalina. It is difficult to judge her age from her enchanting figure and beautiful face, but Marcus guessed that she is at least two hundred years old. Thanks to her family, She should be the richest of these people, mainly active on the side of the Pale Star, and seems to have been investigating the rampant illegal psyker trade in the Maelstrom area and the crimes of some Rogue Trader families.

There is another person Marcus is familiar with, that is Claudes. This guy is very tall, estimated to be about two meters and two meters tall. He always wears a tattered black robe, with all his exposed skin They were all wrapped with dark yellow old bandages, including his head. Only a pair of lavender eyes could be seen, making him look like a mummy. However, Marcus couldn't even find out the origin of this person, and he didn't even know who he was. When he came to the Maelstrom, there were some rumors that he came from Terra to investigate something on the orders of a big shot.

As for why Marcus is familiar with this person, it is because he once went to the Badab sector controlled by the Red Pirates to investigate, and met this person by chance. At that time, he wanted to use psychic energy to leave a mark on him. Mark was placed, but he was immediately counterattacked, and his spirit was almost torn. If the opponent hadn't suddenly stopped, he might have died, so Marcus was extremely impressed by this man.

He is probably an Alpha-level psyker!

The position of Cleudes and what sect he belongs to are still a mystery to this day. It is even impossible to deduce why he suddenly let Marcus go.

In short, it is the mystery within the mystery.

As for the other three, Marcus is not very familiar with them. Anyway, if they don’t fight when they meet, they are considered friendly.

He didn’t know much about the other two people from the branch of the Tribunal. He probably only had a good relationship with Luca Livien of the Foreign Order. The two had a fateful friendship. , we have cooperated with him several times, but Luka is not doing very well. He is over eighty years old and has not accomplished any big things. His greatest achievement is to prevent the green-skin tribe from attacking the system of Siniax. attack.

He glanced over and saw 6 people from the Foreign Order, 11 people from the Holy Hammer Order, and 24 people including here.

24 judges gathered together, it was no small scene, but the real master has not arrived yet.

As mentioned before, in order to ensure safety, all the judges entered at the same time, but the one who dared to arrive late showed that he had absolute confidence in his own safety.

Or arrogant.

Suddenly, a burst of heavy footsteps made everyone look sideways or raise their heads.

I saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the archway belonging to the Holy Hammer Order. At the same time, all the judges of the Holy Hammer Order respectfully stepped aside and lowered their heads to show their respect. Respect.

Marcus took a closer look and saw that the visitor was wearing a set of luxurious force feedback power armor. The main body was black and inlaid with a large number of complex metal decorations. On the left shoulder was a golden eagle spreading its wings, and on the right shoulder was a lifelike A white skull with a double superimposition of the Imperial Sky Eagle emblem and the Inquisition emblem on the chest.

The man's bald head was covered with a large number of black nerve bundles, making him seem to have black hair. His angular and rigid face looked like a dangerous peak covered with snow all year round. There was no trace of warmth or emotion. The symbol of the Order of the Holy Hammer was The form of a tattoo is etched on his forehead, while his hands are clutching a heavy warhammer.

He is the convener of this unification meeting, the Supreme Protector of the Formosa Sector, and the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer Order, Torquemada Kotiz.

Presumably what he is holding is the holy hammer that smashed his mentor's head in the past.

“What a show off.”

Looking at the other party’s appearance, Marcus couldn’t help but complain in a low voice. Then he heard a chuckle and turned his head to see Cleudes. While he was staring at himself, the bandage split open, revealing a mouth full of steel teeth.

Is he smiling? Marcus shuddered and looked away.

Torquemada Ketiz walked all the way to the center of the triangle area, and then put down the holy hammer with a bang, and the arches of the three monasteries closed at the same time.

"Loyal servants of the Emperor, today, we gather together to abandon all previous disputes, just to achieve the Emperor's will!"

As soon as the words fell, all the judges At the same time, he performed an eagle salute and praised:

"Everything is as the Emperor wishes!"

The opening remarks are over, so it's time to get down to business.

Torquemada glanced at everyone, then stopped at Marcus, and said solemnly:

“Judge Marcus, I heard that before you came, you had already met with that person. Meeting with Soshyan Alexey, the chapter leader of the Astral Knights?”

Marcus nodded calmly and replied calmly:

"Yes, we jointly investigated a heresy case of a noble family."

"I want to hear your opinion, what kind of space warrior is he?"

Marcus After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Like all other Chapter Leaders of the Astartes, he is perseverant, courageous, loyal, and wise, but the slight difference is that he is also very good at communicating with others, even if He is also very humble and gentle when dealing with mortals. It is difficult to see pride or contempt in him, and there is no unreasonable anger."

Torquemada's hand pressed the handle of the hammer and tapped with his fingers. After a few moments, a deep smile suddenly appeared.

"Are they all advantages? This is not the view that a qualified judge should have."

Marcus calmly replied:

"I don't have a close relationship with him, so naturally it is easiest If you look at the bright spots, if you want to talk about the shortcomings, they are younger, more qualified, and slightly less experienced, and may hesitate to change careers out of unnecessary pity."

"Listen. "You describe"

Torquemada paused, then raised a finger.

"Can anyone think of someone?"

A judge of the Anti-foreign Order who had been active in the Maelstrom before the Badab War immediately said:

"Luft Hugh "Lun."

Marcus nodded in agreement, but he knew in his heart that the other party was coming with bad intentions this time, and was most likely going to cause trouble for Soshyan.
